Chapter 195 The four kings contend for hegemony, the bloody battle at the Bridge of Bitterness, and the King of the Cold God
"Iron Bitch" Helen Pike stood at the bow of the boat. She was wearing black breeches, black leather armor on her upper body, a keel dagger hanging from her waist, a battle axe, and a longbow on her shoulder. She smelled the salty smell of the sea, listened to the sound of the waves under the boat, and looked at the coastline that was getting closer and closer in the distance, smiling.
"We're going to Blacksmith City soon."
Holding a glass of ale in his hand, James Could said excitedly, "Crossed the sea and returned in triumph. The Lannisport fleet was wiped out, iron bitch, you have accomplished a feat that only ancient raiders can accomplish."
Helen Pike said disdainfully: "Stop flattering. When King Balon rebelled, didn't Balon's two younger brothers, Euron and Victarion, easily destroy the Lannisport fleet?"
James Could said solemnly: "Back then, Euron and Victarion led the Iron Fleet. You only brought more than 30 longships to complete the feat."
Helen Pike said: "It was you who brought me victory. When we reach the shore and return to Blacksmith City, we must feast with ale and beer to our heart's content."
The crew cheered heartily. On Helen's Queen, most of the crew were ironmen. When Helen was still the pirate queen of the Stone Step Islands, these people began to follow Helen Pike, and later followed Helen Pike to Skagos Island. After Helen began to serve Ed, these men began to fight for Stark.
Back then, Ed appointed Helen as the commander of the Blacksmith City of Wolf's Castle in Sea Monster Point. Historically, Sea Monster Point had been occupied by ironmen for a long time. Many of the local residents had Ironborn ancestry.
Back then, Helen was just a female pirate. It was Ed who made Helen an admiral of the navy. Helen has always regarded herself as Ed's salt concubine. She is very close to every child of the Stark family, whether it is Jon, Robb, Arya, Bran, Sansa or little Rickon.
The Queen began to approach the pier, and Helen saw a snow-white direwolf on board.
"Ghost?" The direwolf called Helen affectionately.
After the Queen docked, Helen jumped onto the pier, and Bai Ling threw his tail into Helen's arms, wagging his tail.
Jon Snow and Ygritte stood aside, and Helen could see that Jon Snow's horse face was stretched out.
Helen said: "Jon, why did you come here?"
Jon Snow suppressed his anger, "The Wolf King appointed you as the commander of Blacksmith City, and you actually left your post?"
Helen said relaxedly: "I went to fight. My fleet won a brilliant victory in Lannisport. We destroyed the Lannisport fleet."
Jon Snow said: "I believe it was a great victory, but the question is, did the Wolf King order you to attack?"
Helen shook her head, "No."
Jon Snow sighed, "Helen, you are now the commander of the West Coast Fleet and Blacksmith City. You are no longer a pirate. You must obey orders. The order of the Wolf King is for you to stay in Blacksmith City and defend the coastline. You are lucky to go so far to fight."
"The wolf king ordered me to be the governor of the northern border. You attack without permission and don't even say hello. What if you are defeated when you lead the fleet south? What if the enemy takes the opportunity to capture Blacksmith City?"
James Could on the side said angrily: "Boy, where are there so many contingencies? We came back from the battle, and you don't have any rewards, but you still scold us. What's the reason?"
Helen signaled James Could to shut up, and she turned to Jon, "I didn't inform you of this sneak attack in order to keep the people from knowing about it. I flew the golden sea monster banner of the Greyjoy family. The purpose is to make Lannister mistakenly believe that the Iron Islands attacked Lannisport. In this way, there will inevitably be a war between the Western Territory and the Iron Islands, and lions and sea monsters will fight."
Ygritte showed her white teeth, "I think your idea is really great, is there a war between the Iron Islands and the West?"
Jon Snow snorted softly, "Duke Tywin has been the Prime Minister for decades, how could he be so easily provoked? As long as one of your men is captured by Lannister or the Iron Islands, your scheme will not work."
"How many people did you lose?"
Helen Pike said: "Three ships. If I hadn't encountered a storm on the return journey, I would have lost none of my ships in this attack. As a result, the storm blew away the three long ships and blew them towards the direction of the Iron Islands. If there is no accident, all these ships were captured by the Iron Fleet. The Iron Fleet is never polite to gifts from the God of Storms."
Jon Snow frowned, "In this case, I guess Duke Tywin and King Balon know that it is the North West Coast Fleet that attacked Lannisport. The Northern Territory attacked Lannisport under the banner of the Greyjoy family, trying to lead the war to the Iron Islands. Presumably Lord Balon will not be happy. Maybe he will send the Iron Fleet to attack the Northern Territory and take revenge on us."
Helen Pike said indifferently: "There is no reason for the Ironborn to plunder. The Iron Fleet and the Ironborn pirates were originally the biggest threat to the west coast of the northern border. After all, it is impossible for the Qingting Island fleet and the royal fleet to attack the west coast of the northern border. Do you think that if you don't provoke King Balon, his Iron Fleet will let the northern border go?"
Jon Snow looked at the longship fleet moored in the port, "Can the fleet you train hold off the Iron Fleet?"
Helen Pike smiled sweetly, "Ironmen have dominated the sea for thousands of years, and I have only been in the north for a few years. How can my fleet compete with the Iron Fleet?"
Jon Snow said: "So we should stick to our positions. I have ordered Flint's Finger, the lord of the streamland, and the lords of Barrowton to prepare to support Wolf Castle by the sea. Mrs. Ballerina of Barrowton has just given birth to a boy. She is eager to lead an army to defend the north!"
Helen Pike was a little nervous: "Jon, you won't tell the Wolf King that I sent troops to Lannisport without authorization?"
Jon said: "The Lannisport fleet was destroyed. Even if we don't tell it, Lannister will spread it everywhere. My father will know about your unauthorized attack sooner or later, but not from me. I am the governor of the northern border. I am also responsible for your unauthorized attack. If the wolf king wants to punish, just punish me."
Helen hugged Jon gratefully, "My good brother, you are so loyal."
Jon said: "Next time, don't act without authorization, we are one. Your warriors have returned in triumph, let us go to the hall of Blacksmith City, and celebrate the great victory with fine wine!"
From King's Harbor to Pike City, a fleet of longships filled the docks.
Leaders from all over the Iron Islands gathered in Pike City to witness the coronation of King Balon.
Iron Fleet Commander Victarion Greyjoy, "Knight" Heras Harlow, "Maiden" Cole, "Cracked Palate" Dagmer, "Serious" Adric, "Barber" Newt and other top raiders and pirates among the ironmen surrounded King Balon.
Only the strongest ironborn fighters can win the honor of guarding the coronation of King Balon, because the ironborn have always admired the strong and despised the weak in the green land.
The Iron Islands have frequent storms, hidden reefs around the islands, lack of good ports, small area, and barren land. In such a difficult place, a group of powerful people like the Ironmen was born.
In the Iron Islands, the Guardian House Greyjoys are known as the High Houses, and the other nobles are known as the Head Houses.Every captain is the king of their own ship. They are unruly and only pursue the strong and killing. The iron people are known as the most powerful warriors on the sea.
They drove the long boats to burn, kill, loot, snatch women back as salt concubines, snatch men back as slave labor, and plunder everywhere. This is the "ancient road" advocated by the Ironmen. To continue the tradition of looting is to follow the ancient road.
At the seaside, King Balon knelt on the seashore. Drowned God Priest "Three Drowned" Thaler took out the water bag and poured the sea water on King Balon's gray hair. The salt water flowed down King Balon's face and into his neck and chest.
"Great Drowned God, let your servant be reborn in the ocean like you! Please grant him the blessing of sea water, the strength of rock, and the tenacity of steel!"
Aeron Damphair put a weirwood driftwood crown on King Balon's head.
"The Rock King, the Sea Salt King, the Son of the Sea Wind, Balon, the King of the Iron Islands!"
"The dead are not dead, they will rise again, and the power will be stronger!"
A group of leaders shouted, King Balon completed the coronation ceremony, got up and returned to Pike City.
This is the fourth king of Westeros after King Joffrey of King's Landing, Renly of the Reach, and Stannis of Dragonstone.
Westeros has officially entered the era of the four kings' struggle for hegemony.
In the castle, the ugly chair that King Balon used to have disappeared. On the master seat of the hall, there is a shiny black sea stone seat carved in the shape of a sea monster.
It is said that when the ancestors first landed on the Iron Islands, the Seastone Seat was already lying on the beach of Old Wake Island. No one knows the origin of the Seastone Seat.
The hall was filled with more than 500 chiefs from all over the Iron Islands, including the Harlow family from Harlow Island, the most populous island, the Blacktys family from Kuroshio Island, the ancient and proud Drogon family from Old Wake Island, the old Wake Island from Old Wake Island, the largest island in the Iron Islands, the powerful Gubler family, the lowly slave labor descendants of the Cowd family, the Humberly family, the Farwin family with legends about skinchangers, and so on.
Life in the Iron Islands was hard. Even at the king's feast, they only ate cheese, roast mutton, black bread, stewed fish and onion pies. There were no spices, and the alcohol was only ale.
After drinking and eating, King Balon put on the driftwood crown and sat on the Seastone Seat.
"The Iron Islands have become an independent country. In order to honor the Drowned God, I want to return to the ancient ways! Immediately march to the north."
Some leaders roared, but Roderick Harlow, the Reader, didn't take it seriously. He stood up and said, "Lord Balon, why did you attack the North? Wolf King Ed already has the support of the Riverland, the North, and the Valley. What good is there in declaring war on the North?"
"The Reader" Roderick Harlow is the patriarch of the Harlow family. His territory, Harlow Island, is the most densely populated island in the Iron Islands. The Harlow family is one of the most powerful families in the Iron Islands. He is also Theon, Asha's uncle.
King Balon's face was gloomy. "The Northern Territory sent Helen the Iron Bitch to plunder Lannisport under the banner of the Greyjoy family. It is clear that they want to use the Iron Islands. I hate being used by others. Therefore, I must attack the Northern Territory."
"Even if Ed the Wolf King has the support of the North, the Valley and the Riverlands, so what? Back then, when King Robert unified the Seven Kingdoms, I dared to make myself king. Ed, who has not yet worn the crown, can't scare me at all."
"The Reader" Rodrik Harlow said: "Theon is still in the hands of the wolf king Ed. If the Iron Islands attack the North, the Wolf King will definitely kill Theon. My sister, Guenice, is looking forward to the return of Theon day and night. We can first ask Ed for Theon, and it will not be too late to attack the North when Theon returns to the Iron Islands."
The relationship between Mrs. Guannisi and King Balon has long been broken, and she has lived in Ten Towers City of her natal Harlow family all year round.
King Balon said depressedly: "It is impossible for Ed to return Theon. After so many years, if he wanted to return Theon, he would have sent it back long ago. At that time, my sons Rodrik and Maren both died at the hands of Robert and Ed. They thought that they could scare me by holding my only surviving son Sean. I don't care. I want to attack the northern border, and Ed wants to kill Theon, so let him go."
Asha said: "Father, let Theon die like this, and my mother died of grief. She has already begun to lose her mind. Wolf King Ed is also trying to win the support of the Iron Islands. Why do you have to form an alliance with the West?"
King Balon snorted softly, "Duke Tywin at least sent gold. Ed didn't even give me a copper coin. He gave a lot of sweet words in the letter. What's the use? How could I form an alliance with the Wolf King?"
"The Reader" Rodrik said, "Wolf Castles are everywhere on the west coast of the northern border, and they are heavily guarded. After the Lannisport fleet in the western border was destroyed by the iron bitch, the coastal defense of the western border is already vulnerable. Why don't we attack the western border?"
"To conquer the western region, you need as much gold as you need. There are no prosperous towns on the west coast of the northern region, and there is nothing but turnips, cobblestones and pine cones. Why give up the prosperous land and choose to attack such tough bones as the northern region? Don't forget, the wolf king also has magic dragons, skinchangers and giants in his hands."
King Balon showed a proud smile, "If Ed and I attack the Western Territory, the Western Territory will definitely fall into the hands of Ed and I within a year, but by that time, Ed's next target will be the Iron Islands. Can't you see Ed's wolf ambition?"
"Ed is too powerful. If Lannister surrenders to Ai De, Ai De's territory will span the North, the Valley, the Riverland and the West. How can the Iron Islands resist such a powerful opponent? Therefore, it is in the interests of the Iron Islands to join hands with Lannister to fight against Ai De."
"The Reader" Rodrik wanted to protest, but at this moment, the priest of the Drowned God Aeron "Damphair" spoke.
"The driftwood crown is made from the first piece of driftwood that floated to the king's hometown when the king was crowned. When King Balon was about to be crowned king, the driftwood sent by the Drowned God was a weirwood."
"In the Iron Islands, weirwood is rarely seen. Why is it weirwood? Weirwood is a tree worshiped by the believers of the old gods of the North. I believe that this is a guide sent by the Drowned God. He wants the Ironborn to follow King Balon to conquer the North and kill those barbarians who worship the weirwood, so that the Drowned God's wrath will flood the entire North."
In the Iron Islands, priests of the Drowned God are even more influential than noble lords. Whether they are leaders, civilians, captains, or sailors, they all have to respect priests of the Drowned God.
As soon as Aeron "Damphair" said this, the ironborn leaders in the hall roared in unison, "Conquer the North! Glory to the Drowned God!"
In the hall of the Burning King Tower in Harrenhal, the giant Sissy sat on the ground, feeding the dragon Hawkeye and the koi.
A dragon egg from the Vale of Arryn hatched a silver-white dragon. Ed named the dragon "Eagle Eye" because the coat of arms of the Arryn family in the Vale of Arryn was the Crescent Falcon.
The dragon eggs found in Shuangfeng Mountain in the Hejian land hatched a red, blue and green dragon. Ed named the dragon "Koi" because the Trident River is rich in carp.
Ed's first dragon, Flying Wolf, grew up on the milk of the direwolf Sunshine. Now, the little direwolves have grown up, and the female wolf, Sunshine, has already been weaned. Besides, the female wolf, Sunshine, brought Timberwolves, Shaggy Dog, Xia Tian and Bai Ling, and stayed in Winterfell instead of Harrenhal. The task of feeding the magic dragon was given to the giant Sissy.
Not long after the giant Sissy gave birth to the little giant, she had plenty of milk. She used to be Robin's nanny, but now, she has become the nanny of Koi, Hawkeye, and seven griffins.
"I actually became a dragon mother." Sissy laughed. "I feed the dragon every day. The koi, eagle eye, seven griffins and Robin are all my sons. I will see who dares to provoke me in the future."
In addition to drinking the giant's milk, the dragon koi, Hawkeye, and the seven little griffins eat a lot of mutton and pork every day. Ed hopes that they will grow up quickly.
Once the dragons and griffins grow up, Ed's air force becomes stronger.
The nobles from the river land, the valley and the northern border witnessed Eddie hatching a dragon and a griffin under the Weeping Blood Star using the power of the weirwood. In the eyes of these nobles, Eddie is like a god.
The more the nobles are afraid of Ed, the more they will obey Ed's orders.
Ed ordered the nobles in Hejian to form the Three Rivers Army. With the cooperation of the nobles in Hejian, Ed successfully reorganized the Hejian army around Harrenhal into the Three Rivers Army. The Three Rivers Army was paid by Ed and was Ed's standing army in Hejian.The nobles in Hejian sent their second sons and relatives to serve in the Sanhe Army.
The Three Rivers Army is loyal to Ed himself, and Ed appointed Blackfish Brynden, Tytos Blackwood, Janos Bracken and other river nobles as the commanders of the Three Rivers Army.
Ed, who is rich and powerful, spent money to buy many warships on the river from the nobles in the river. In the future, no matter it is the Winter Wolf Army, the Young Eagle Army or the Three Rivers Army, they can use the warships to come and go freely in the Trident River Basin to transport food, grass and soldiers.Compared with land transportation, the cost of water transportation is lower.
At the same time, Ed invested in shipyards in Yanchang Town, Maiden Spring Town, Beauty Collection, Haijiang City, Earl Harroway's town, etc., and vigorously built ships to expand the power of the navy.
Today, the North East Coast Fleet and the Valley Fleet control Crab Bay. On the west coast of Riverland, only a few warships from Sea Front City protect the coastal area. Across the sea is the Iron Islands. Fortunately, the West Coast Fleet in the North is very close to Sea Front City.
Ed needs more ships for conquest and development.
Various projects started quickly. Ed ordered the Young Eagle Army and the Three Rivers Army to build the Wolf Castle Cross City in Ruby Beach. In the future, this place will be a crossroads. The nearby towns of Earl Harroway, Saltpan Town, Maiden Spring Town and Harren Castle have sent many civilians to build Wolf Castle.
In the old holy land of Noble Heart, Ed ordered the Blackwood family, the Vance family, the Piper family, and the Bracken family to build the noble city of Wolf Castle in the noble heart. According to Ed's design, this castle is a white stone city embedded in the noble heart, surrounded by weirwood stumps. Ed believes that in time, the weirwood stumps will grow into towering trees again.
In addition, Ed ordered Robb of Riverrun to send the rock species of the West Route Army, the northern mountain clans, troglodytes, warriors of the Night Walking Tribe, and bring the peasants and craftsmen of the riverland to the city of Huangshi to repair the ancient castle.
Barren Rock City was once the castle of the famous "King of Rivers and Hills" and "Hammer of Justice" Tristephan IV. As the supreme king of the ancestors of the riverlands, Tristephan IV led the ancestors and defeated 99 attacks of the Andals, but died in 1 battle.
The castle that used to be the king of the ancestors has been reduced to ruins, but the strategic position of the deserted stone city is still important. After Ed repairs the deserted stone city, the deserted stone city can well protect the hinterland between the Blue Fork River and the Red Fork River, and protect the important town of beauty in the river.
The deserted stone city is next to the western border, and the western border is a group of mountains near the border between the deserted rock city and the Hejian land. Under normal circumstances, the army of the river land can't break through here, so the defense of the western border in this mountainous area is relatively weak.
The mountains and mountains are not difficult for Ed. The rock species in his hand, the northern mountain clan warriors, night tribes, and cavemen are all masters of mountain warfare. There are also wildling Jarl, "Goat" Greg, Eric, and other top wildling raiders. They have climbed the Great Wall many times.
Compared with the Great Wall of Desperation, the mountains in the western region are not to be feared. When the time is right, Ed can send the army of mountain masters from Huangshicheng to attack the western region over the mountains.
Now, the main force of Duke Tywin is gathered in Golden Tooth City and Riverrun City's northern riverland coalition forces to confront each other. Once the northern mountainous area of the western border is breached, Duke Tywin can only divide his troops to rescue them. At that time, Ed will be able to defeat the western border troops one by one.
Yellen, the ghost of a noble heart, came to Harrenhal and became friends with Eagle King McCain, Bear King Byers, Giant Dodo, and Sissy. She likes living in the godswood and eating fruits.
Following Yellen's dream and the warning from the Three-Eyed Crow, Ed was convinced that King's Landing had been corrupted by the undead.
Ed really wants to unite kings and lords from all over the world to jointly resist the threat of the undead, but this is not realistic.
Duke Tywin is a ruthless person. When Stannis was approaching the city, Duke Tywin did not send troops to rescue King Joffrey in King's Landing. It was clear that he no longer cared about the lives of Cersei, Tyrion and Joffrey.
It is estimated that Tywin would not mind if Joffrey died at the hands of the White Walkers or at the hands of Stannis.
As for the Iron Islands, Ed needs to beware of the attack of the Iron Islands Ironman Fleet on the North.
Stannis now occupies most of the Stormlands and the King's Landing, and has surrounded King's Landing. Stannis' red-robed woman should have foreseen the threat of King's Landing. If the undead in King's Landing want to attack humans, Stannis' territory will be attacked first.
Melisandre always brags that Stannis is the rebirth of Azor Ahai, let Stannis compete with the undead in King's Landing!
Ed was more concerned about the other dreams Yellen mentioned.
"A one-eyed dragon with a crow on his shoulder, one eye is full of smiles, and the other eye is bleeding. Three sisters are tied to a pillar by the sea by him, and they are abused by the one-eyed dragon."
Ed suspected that the one-eyed dragon with the crow on his shoulder was the second brother of King Balon, Euron "Crow's Eye", the captain of the Serenity.Every crew member on the Serenity had their tongues pulled out by Euron.
King Balon was furious when Euron had an affair with Victarion's salt concubine, and exiled Euron, claiming that Euron would not be allowed to return to the Iron Islands as long as Balon lived.
Euron the Crow's Eye had already left Westeros for an adventure in the East. In the mainland of Essos, there were horror legends about the plunder of the Serenity in many ports.
It is said that Euron the Crow's Eye has a wizard on the Serenity. In the age of resurgence, if the Crow's Eye returns with powerful magic, he will be more dangerous than King Balon and Victarion, commander of the Iron Fleet.
"The three sisters were tied to a pillar by the sea by him, and were abused by the one-eyed dragon."
Regarding this prophecy, Ed suspected that it might mean that the Crow's Eye would attack the Three Sisters Islands.
The Three Sisters Islands are located in Bite Bay, very poor, and after the valley was surrendered to the direwolves, it also became Ed's territory.
Under normal circumstances, pirates with a little brain would not go to the Three Sisters Islands to rob, because there is a pirate's den in itself, and there are no gold, silver, treasures or valuable goods.
If the Crow's Eye really wants to sack the Three Sisters, it seems that the only explanation is that the Crow's Eye is looking for some kind of power, just like his adventures in the ruins of Valyria.
Poor to poor, but the location of the Three Sisters Islands is very important, next to White Harbor and the Five Fingers Peninsula.If the Crow's Eye occupies the Three Sisters, it could directly threaten the North and the Vale.
After thinking about it, Ed immediately wrote to the Marquess of Triston Sunderland of the Three Sisters Islands and the Earl of Wyman of White Harbor, asking them to be careful of pirate attacks.It is estimated that the sisters and boys will laugh out loud when they receive this warning letter. After all, the Three Sisters Islands themselves are the hometown of Westeros pirates.
Another dream of Yellen, "A beautiful young woman hatched three dragons in the flames, followed by the Iron Legion and the cavalry army with whips and bells."
Ed felt that there was no doubt that the young woman in this dream was Daenerys.
It seems that Dragon Mama will return to Westeros with the army and the dragon. Daenerys Dragon Mama is the last descendant of the Targaryen family, and the situation in Westeros is even more chaotic.
Now Ed's power of nature is getting stronger and stronger. In Harrenhal, where the power of the old gods is strong, using the weirwood from Qianmian Islet in God's Eye Lake, Ed can already obtain the vision of trees hundreds of miles away for scouting.
He can use the trees beside the spring pool in Maiden Spring City to see girls and young women taking a bath in the spring water; through an elm tree, he can see that the Wolf Castle Cross City in Ruby Beach is being built; through a plane tree, he can see that the army camp by the Trident River in the Riverland is reclaiming wasteland, using the curved plow that was extended to the Riverland in the north.
In the courtyard of Harrenhal, Caitlin, Lysa, Sansa, and Arya looked at the silkworms in the mulberry leaves together, and Ed walked in front of them.
Marillion, Lysa's singer, and Tom of the Sevenstrings, the folk singer, were tuning their harps.
Tom Seven Strings is a warrior singer. He joined the Three Rivers Army and became close friends with the Lightning King, Earl Berri, the red monk Soros, Lemon, Angai and others.Tom Seven Strings is Edmure's enemy. He once seduced Edmure's beloved girl, causing Edmure to be very disgusted when he meets the singer.
Sansa was wearing a copper-colored silk dress. She said, "Father, can the silk spit out by this little bug really be used to make silk?"
Ed said solemnly: "Of course, in an ancient ballad, it was once sung like this:
Can'er in spring, he didn't spit out his silk until death came.
O beautiful candle, until it was reduced to ashes, his tears were not exhausted. "
Seven-stringed Tom on the side said in surprise: "Master Ed, the lyrics are really beautiful! May I ask which singer's work this is?"
Ed said mysteriously: "It's a singer of the ancestors."
Sansa picked up a mulberry leaf and saw the silkworms crawling on it, "The songs are beautiful, and the silk is also practical. In the future, we can produce silk by ourselves, so we can make more money, build more weapons and armor, and protect our people and their homes."
Caitlin held Ed's hand, "Ed, I didn't expect you to be able to raise silkworms."
Ed said: "In the future, we will raise silkworms and reel silk, and we will train many powerful craftsmen. Silk will be produced in the riverlands and valleys, and animal skins and woolen clothes will be produced in the northern border. The markets of nobles and commoners will all be occupied by us."
During the lord meeting of Harrenhal, Ed showed the mulberry leaves and silkworms to the lords of the riverland and valley. Now, in the manor of Harrenhal, the first sericulture farm has started to raise silkworms. In the future, Ed will promote silkworm raising and reeling in the valley and riverland.
Due to the climate, the northern region is not suitable for raising silkworms, but the riverlands and valleys are very suitable because the climate here is warm and the sun is sufficient.
There is no silk in Westeros, and the silk that the nobles spend a lot of money to buy all comes from the distant Yidi. The people of Westeros don’t know how the silk comes from. Some people think that it comes from the hands of Yidi fairies, and some people think that the silk grows on a kind of precious tree.
Ed thought there were no silkworms in Westeros until he obtained the power of nature, and when he sucked the power of nature in the river, he easily sniffed out the silkworms in the woods.
The free trade city-state earned a lot of gold from Westeros by transporting spices and silk from the east. After that, Ed wanted to develop the silk textile industry by himself.There is no doubt that silk will earn high profits for Ed.
The next day, Ed left Harrenhal. He took Direwolf Night Walk, Demon Dragon Flying Wolf, Eagle Prince Michu, Roose Bolton, and Theon to Sea Front City. The name was to inspect the Sea Border City fleet. In fact, Ed was worried that the Iron Islands fleet would attack Wolf Castle on the west coast of the North.
Harrenhal's commander is Lord Rickard Karstark, and he is loyal.Roose Bolton, whose loyalty is worrying, Theon, the heir of the Iron Islands, and Ed will always be with him.
Prior to this, Red Viper Oberyn, Lightning King, Soros the Red Priest, Baron Swann, Bronze Jon, Lynn Corbray and other heroes had all set off for Riverrun to prepare for the war with the West.
Whether it is the enemy in the West or the Iron Islands, Ed is ready to attack.
As for the Lannisters in King's Landing, leave it to Renly and Stannis!
At Bitter Bridge, King Renly and his army of [-] rivers were stationed in the camp east of Bitter Bridge. King Renly feasted every day in a gold silk tent.
That night, Renly drank golden wine and listened to the singer's songs, lying on a soft feather bed.
Brienne felt that Renly was forcing a smile on his face. The nightmare of the fiasco in the West had always plagued Renly. Now, Renly was going to the Stormlands to face his brave brother Stannis.
Lord Randyll Tarly and Lord Matus Rowan entered.As Lord Mace Tyrell stayed in Highgarden with a large army to guard against the Lannisters in the West, Lord Randyll Tarly and Lord Matus Rowan became Renly's right-hand men in the army.
Earl Matus Rowan cleared his throat, "Your Majesty, when will we march?"
Renly sat up lazily, picked up a grape, and put it in his mouth.
"The Redwyne Fleet on the Arbor Isle is estimated to be heading east in the summer sea south of Dorne. When the Arbor Island fleet arrives at the Stormlands and approaches the castle of Storm's End, Stannis will definitely withdraw his troops to help Storm's End. We can fight to the Stormlands and win back the support of the Stormlands and the nobles."
Earl Randall Tarly frowned, "Your Majesty, Storm's End is your home castle. You know Storm's End best. It is one of the most majestic castles in all of Westeros. Even if the Arbor Island fleet blocks the waters around Storm's End, the Arbor Island fleet will not be able to shake that majestic castle."
"It's impossible for Stannis to withdraw his troops to help Storm's End. He must have enough backup. Don't forget, Stannis' advantage is the navy. He has the royal fleet in his hand, as well as the fleet of the Lys pirate Salado Saan."
Renly braced himself, "Then, according to your ideas, how should we attack?"
Matus Rowan said: "Soldiers are expensive, and I suggest that Your Majesty, march as quickly as possible."
Earl Randall echoed: "Yes, our army can quickly march into Green Valley City. Green Valley City is the aristocratic castle closest to the Stormlands on Rose Avenue. It is rumored that Earl Meidou may surrender to Stannis. When our army arrives in Green Valley City, Earl Meidou will remain loyal to His Majesty."
Renly smiled and said, "Earl Meidou is a good friend of mine. We often participate in martial arts tournaments together. When he was in King's Landing, he lived in my mansion for half a year. It is impossible for Earl Meidou to betray me."
Matus Rowan said: "Since Earl Meidou is Your Majesty's friend, we should march forward more quickly, otherwise, Your Majesty's friend may be attacked by Stannis. When we reach Green Valley City, we can directly attack the Stormlands."
Earl Randall said: "Your Majesty, you can give me [-] troops, and I will lead them away from Qinshu Beach. I can enter the Stormland from Qinshu Beach, burn, kill and loot all the way. After I capture a few castles in the Stormlands, the Stormland army under Stannis will definitely be popular. Your Majesty will lead the army to attack along the Rose Road, and I will definitely win a big victory."
Renly wagged his fingers in denial.
"Earl Landau, from the first day I put on the crown, I swore to the gods in the sky that the common people will live a good life. When we fight, we must protect the common people. I will never allow such things as burning, killing and looting. I will win the support of the nobles and commoners of the Stormlands with my benevolent heart."
Earl Randall said depressedly: "Your Majesty, during the war, kindness will only harm you. How can you win the war without bloodshed or killing?"
Renly stood up, "Then I'd rather win the war with dignity. Actually, I've thought about it. It's best if we wait for the Lannisters in King's Landing to counterattack Stannis before we enter the Stormlands. This is the best way. Cersei and the little devil have hidden a lot of mercenaries and Lannister's soldiers in King's Landing. Cersei will definitely not sit still, right?"
At this time, Sir Loras walked in, "Earl Meidou of Green Valley City sent a thousand cavalry, Green Apple Fossoway and Red Apple Fossoway sent two thousand cavalry, a total of 3000 people."
Renly turned to Earl Randall, and Earl Matus said triumphantly, "You two, you doubted Earl Meidou's loyalty just now, look, he sent soldiers here."
Renly turned to Loras. "Treat these soldiers well. Let them eat and sleep well."
The Fossoway family and the Meidou family in Green Valley City have secretly defected to Stannis, and these three thousand troops are Stannis' internal support.The face of the red-robed woman Melisandre was hidden under the hood, and she was mixed among the soldiers of Green Valley City. In addition, there were Sir Gordy Farling, Sir Justin Marseille, Richard Hope and other heroes, all of which appeared in this team.
When the entire camp fell into a deep sleep, the soldiers of Green Valley City and the Fossoway family started to set fire. Melisandre spilled a fire, and a tent burst into flames instantly.
Stannis led ten thousand elite cavalry along the Rose Road like cutting cheese, and charged into Renly's camp.
There was a shout of killing, and soldiers from the Fossoway family and the Meidou family occupied Bitterbridge. Each of these soldiers was equipped with a crossbow or crossbow. Since Renly's camp was east of Bitterbridge, many soldiers were shot to death by random arrows and blocked the bridge. The soldiers behind trampled each other.
Loras and Brienne rushed left and right, but they couldn't get to the bridge. Fortunately, there was a boat under the bridge. Brienne untied the cable and helped Renly into the boat. Loras drew his sword and followed.
Some of Renly's soldiers and attendants rushed to board the boat, but the boat couldn't carry so many people. Loras swung his sword and killed seven soldiers, and then Brienne rowed away from the shore and rowed to the other side.Renly watched these soldiers, squires who served him every day, die under the sword of Loras, tears streaming down his face.
Renly's army was disintegrating. After Renly, Loras and Brienne fled to the other side, Loras and Brienne immediately led the soldiers of Baron Caswell at Bitterbridge to attack the Fossoway family on the bridge.
The soldiers of the Fossoway family and the Meidou family on the bridge lost their courage in an instant after being flanked. They were either hacked to death by the cavalry, or killed by the angry Loras and Brienne leading the soldiers. The ancient bridge was stained red with blood, and the surrounding river was full of corpses.
Although Renly's army recaptured Bitterbridge, the camp in the east was completely defeated. Stannis took all the food, grass and supplies, and countless nobles and knights in the Reach were captured.
That night, Renly experienced the bitterness of Bitterbridge, and he lost completely.
King's Landing, Red Castle, Throne Hall, Cersei sitting on the Iron Throne, surrounded by candlelight.
Since Prince Rhaegar came to Cersei's court in the death storm, Cersei didn't allow torches to be lit in the throne room, and only lit two rows of incense candles every time, so the huge throne room looked dark and weird.
Tyrion and Pycelle stood in the shadow of the Iron Throne, and Tyrion felt a little cold.
It's still summer, why is it so cold?At this time, Tyrion noticed that there was a thin layer of frost under the feet of Deathstorm and Prince Rhaegar, who were guarding both sides of the Iron Throne stairs.
Cersei's emerald green eyes, for a moment, unexpectedly showed a strange azure blue, but fortunately, they returned to emerald green afterwards.
"Varys escaped?"
Tyrion cleared his throat, "Varys went to the streets to inquire about news and never came back. Maybe something happened to him, or he really ran away."
Grand Maester Pycelle stroked his snow-white beard, "I've had enough of those pretentious eunuchs, Your Majesty, Varys is not trustworthy."
Cersei said disdainfully: "Whether Varys is dead or alive, I don't care. Anyway, with Ogbeta, I don't need him anymore. I will appoint Ogbeta as the chief intelligence officer."
Pai Xier's eyes widened, "Your Majesty, Ogbeta is from outside the Great Wall. This man is an ungodly savage. How can he attend the imperial meeting?"
Tyrion thought viciously, "Pycelle, you old idiot, you disliked Varys just now, and now I give you a necromancer, do you know the benefits of eunuchs?"
Ogbeta, the necromancer, hunched over and held a skeleton scepter, walked into the throne room. Ogbeta gave Grand Maester Pacelle a mocking smile.
"Brother Paicell, you say I don't respect God? How is this possible? I am a devout servant of the God of Cold."
Grand Maester Pycelle started to get scared, "In King's Landing, the gods people worship are the Seven Gods."
Ogbetta pointed to Cersei on the Iron Throne with the skeleton scepter, "The Queen Regent has abandoned the Seven Gods and become a follower of the Cold God."
Tyrion is not surprised at all, King's Landing is becoming a city of the dead, Cersei is either a death storm, Prince Rhaegar, or a necromancer like Ogbeta.
Cersei stepped down from the Iron Throne, "In order to please the cold god, I have decided to destroy the statues of the seven gods in the royal sanctuary of the Red Castle."
Tyrion wanted to say something, but when he saw the death storm beside him, Prince Rhaegar, he still kept his mouth shut.
The dead still serve Cersei and offend the cold god. Presumably Cersei will not mind turning me into a dead dwarf. Once I, Tyrion, are reborn, I will probably be a court jester.
Grand Maester Pycelle said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this is an offense to the gods in the sky! If the archbishop knows that you have committed such a crazy act, how will the church feel? How will those knights who devoutly believe in the Seven Gods feel?"
Ogberta stretched out the skeleton scepter to Pycelle, "Grand Maester, are you from the Academy City or from the Church? Since you are so devout, I suggest you dedicate your life to the Seven Gods, how about it?"
Pai Xier was covered in cold sweat, "Your Majesty, Ogbeta dared to threaten me, an old man."
Cersei smiled and said, "Pycelle, I've had enough of your advice, if you don't want to die, just shut up."
Cersei turned to Tyrion, "What do you think?"
Tyrion smiled the sweetest, "I fully support Queen Cersei's decision."
Cersei, Tyrion, and Grand Maester Pacelle followed Ogbeta to the royal sanctuary. Tyrion thought that Cersei would burn down the statues of the Seven Gods, but he didn't expect Deathstorm to smash them with an ice hammer.
Tyrion said to Ogbetta, "Why just burn a fire?"
Ogbeta said gloomyly: "Burn the statue, it's a trick of the red-robed woman and the red-robed monk, only the followers of the Red God R'hllor do it. We believers of the Cold God use ice hammers to smash it."
Under the beating of the ice hammer, the Seven Gods were all shattered and collapsed.
Ogbetta said: "Tyrion, you have a good brain. The Cold God needs your wisdom. Are you interested in becoming a servant of the Cold God?"
Tyrion smiled nervously, "I'm afraid, I don't know much about the cold god."
Ogbeta said: "You just need to know that the cold god is the most powerful god in the world, and that's enough. Tyrion, I know you like to find prostitutes and want beautiful women, so why not?"
"As long as you become a believer of the Cold God, Aegon's sister, the Queen of Flowers, Maegor's Dark Bride, King Renrui's whore princess, the three sisters of St. Baelor's Maid House, Aegon IV's nine beautiful mistresses, and even the most beautiful courtesan in the history of Braavos, the most beautiful courtesan in the Lys brothel, the most beautiful bed slave in Yunkai, and the most beautiful Priestess of Love in the Summer Isles, may be your bed plaything."
Being able to share the bed with the most beautiful woman in history, but thinking that these are all ghosts of the past, there is a cold body under the beautiful appearance.
Besides, most of the wizard's promises were lies. Tyrion lost interest in an instant. He pretended to be pious, "I've decided, for the sake of honoring the cold god, I'd rather be pure-hearted and ascetic."
In the courtyard, a group of nuns knelt on the ground and wept, and then Ogbeta ordered Deathstorm and Prince Rhaegar to bring a team of black robes—the golden robes adapted by Cersei, all of whom were followers of the cold god.The group traveled to the godswood and felled the trees of the godswood with ice axes.
Under the protection of the mercenary Bronn, Tyrion returned to the Prime Minister's Tower.
Bronn lowered his voice: "People are saying that Deathstorm is the living dead, and Singer of Lys is Prince Rhaegar reborn, is that true?"
Tyrion said gloomily, "Even you have."
Bronn said: "I don't like the Red Castle. I feel that the Red Castle these days is similar to a cemetery."
The wall of the fireplace snapped open, and Varys stepped out of the secret passage.
"Tyrion, hurry up and follow me! Only you and the old Pycelle are left in the imperial meeting. If you continue to stay in the Red Keep, you will become a corpse sooner or later."
Tyrion said: "Ogbeta, the necromancer, invited me to serve the cold god, and I declined."
Varys said helplessly: "You can refuse, and then he can stab you to death. The dead will not refuse. Just look at our Prince Rhaegar and Robert. In Cersei's undead court, the Prime Minister is still needed. Cersei doesn't love you. You and I both know that she loves her twin brother, not the dwarf brother."
"If you stay in King's Landing, you will die. Your golden hand necklace will sooner or later become a skull necklace."
"Where shall I go, out of the Red Keep?" said Tyrion.
Varys lowered his voice, "I found some pious knights and beggar brothers in the hills of Visenya. We can try to save King's Landing and the Seven Kingdoms from Cersei."
"Just you and me, the dwarf and the eunuch."
Thanks to Youhai, Xiaojun of Sword Art Online, 20171212083553286, He Fei, the loneliness of being alone, a farmer in Lin'an, Big Brother Hun Tun, listening to Chuuxue on a moonlit night, for the monthly pass, thank you for your support!
(End of this chapter)
"Iron Bitch" Helen Pike stood at the bow of the boat. She was wearing black breeches, black leather armor on her upper body, a keel dagger hanging from her waist, a battle axe, and a longbow on her shoulder. She smelled the salty smell of the sea, listened to the sound of the waves under the boat, and looked at the coastline that was getting closer and closer in the distance, smiling.
"We're going to Blacksmith City soon."
Holding a glass of ale in his hand, James Could said excitedly, "Crossed the sea and returned in triumph. The Lannisport fleet was wiped out, iron bitch, you have accomplished a feat that only ancient raiders can accomplish."
Helen Pike said disdainfully: "Stop flattering. When King Balon rebelled, didn't Balon's two younger brothers, Euron and Victarion, easily destroy the Lannisport fleet?"
James Could said solemnly: "Back then, Euron and Victarion led the Iron Fleet. You only brought more than 30 longships to complete the feat."
Helen Pike said: "It was you who brought me victory. When we reach the shore and return to Blacksmith City, we must feast with ale and beer to our heart's content."
The crew cheered heartily. On Helen's Queen, most of the crew were ironmen. When Helen was still the pirate queen of the Stone Step Islands, these people began to follow Helen Pike, and later followed Helen Pike to Skagos Island. After Helen began to serve Ed, these men began to fight for Stark.
Back then, Ed appointed Helen as the commander of the Blacksmith City of Wolf's Castle in Sea Monster Point. Historically, Sea Monster Point had been occupied by ironmen for a long time. Many of the local residents had Ironborn ancestry.
Back then, Helen was just a female pirate. It was Ed who made Helen an admiral of the navy. Helen has always regarded herself as Ed's salt concubine. She is very close to every child of the Stark family, whether it is Jon, Robb, Arya, Bran, Sansa or little Rickon.
The Queen began to approach the pier, and Helen saw a snow-white direwolf on board.
"Ghost?" The direwolf called Helen affectionately.
After the Queen docked, Helen jumped onto the pier, and Bai Ling threw his tail into Helen's arms, wagging his tail.
Jon Snow and Ygritte stood aside, and Helen could see that Jon Snow's horse face was stretched out.
Helen said: "Jon, why did you come here?"
Jon Snow suppressed his anger, "The Wolf King appointed you as the commander of Blacksmith City, and you actually left your post?"
Helen said relaxedly: "I went to fight. My fleet won a brilliant victory in Lannisport. We destroyed the Lannisport fleet."
Jon Snow said: "I believe it was a great victory, but the question is, did the Wolf King order you to attack?"
Helen shook her head, "No."
Jon Snow sighed, "Helen, you are now the commander of the West Coast Fleet and Blacksmith City. You are no longer a pirate. You must obey orders. The order of the Wolf King is for you to stay in Blacksmith City and defend the coastline. You are lucky to go so far to fight."
"The wolf king ordered me to be the governor of the northern border. You attack without permission and don't even say hello. What if you are defeated when you lead the fleet south? What if the enemy takes the opportunity to capture Blacksmith City?"
James Could on the side said angrily: "Boy, where are there so many contingencies? We came back from the battle, and you don't have any rewards, but you still scold us. What's the reason?"
Helen signaled James Could to shut up, and she turned to Jon, "I didn't inform you of this sneak attack in order to keep the people from knowing about it. I flew the golden sea monster banner of the Greyjoy family. The purpose is to make Lannister mistakenly believe that the Iron Islands attacked Lannisport. In this way, there will inevitably be a war between the Western Territory and the Iron Islands, and lions and sea monsters will fight."
Ygritte showed her white teeth, "I think your idea is really great, is there a war between the Iron Islands and the West?"
Jon Snow snorted softly, "Duke Tywin has been the Prime Minister for decades, how could he be so easily provoked? As long as one of your men is captured by Lannister or the Iron Islands, your scheme will not work."
"How many people did you lose?"
Helen Pike said: "Three ships. If I hadn't encountered a storm on the return journey, I would have lost none of my ships in this attack. As a result, the storm blew away the three long ships and blew them towards the direction of the Iron Islands. If there is no accident, all these ships were captured by the Iron Fleet. The Iron Fleet is never polite to gifts from the God of Storms."
Jon Snow frowned, "In this case, I guess Duke Tywin and King Balon know that it is the North West Coast Fleet that attacked Lannisport. The Northern Territory attacked Lannisport under the banner of the Greyjoy family, trying to lead the war to the Iron Islands. Presumably Lord Balon will not be happy. Maybe he will send the Iron Fleet to attack the Northern Territory and take revenge on us."
Helen Pike said indifferently: "There is no reason for the Ironborn to plunder. The Iron Fleet and the Ironborn pirates were originally the biggest threat to the west coast of the northern border. After all, it is impossible for the Qingting Island fleet and the royal fleet to attack the west coast of the northern border. Do you think that if you don't provoke King Balon, his Iron Fleet will let the northern border go?"
Jon Snow looked at the longship fleet moored in the port, "Can the fleet you train hold off the Iron Fleet?"
Helen Pike smiled sweetly, "Ironmen have dominated the sea for thousands of years, and I have only been in the north for a few years. How can my fleet compete with the Iron Fleet?"
Jon Snow said: "So we should stick to our positions. I have ordered Flint's Finger, the lord of the streamland, and the lords of Barrowton to prepare to support Wolf Castle by the sea. Mrs. Ballerina of Barrowton has just given birth to a boy. She is eager to lead an army to defend the north!"
Helen Pike was a little nervous: "Jon, you won't tell the Wolf King that I sent troops to Lannisport without authorization?"
Jon said: "The Lannisport fleet was destroyed. Even if we don't tell it, Lannister will spread it everywhere. My father will know about your unauthorized attack sooner or later, but not from me. I am the governor of the northern border. I am also responsible for your unauthorized attack. If the wolf king wants to punish, just punish me."
Helen hugged Jon gratefully, "My good brother, you are so loyal."
Jon said: "Next time, don't act without authorization, we are one. Your warriors have returned in triumph, let us go to the hall of Blacksmith City, and celebrate the great victory with fine wine!"
From King's Harbor to Pike City, a fleet of longships filled the docks.
Leaders from all over the Iron Islands gathered in Pike City to witness the coronation of King Balon.
Iron Fleet Commander Victarion Greyjoy, "Knight" Heras Harlow, "Maiden" Cole, "Cracked Palate" Dagmer, "Serious" Adric, "Barber" Newt and other top raiders and pirates among the ironmen surrounded King Balon.
Only the strongest ironborn fighters can win the honor of guarding the coronation of King Balon, because the ironborn have always admired the strong and despised the weak in the green land.
The Iron Islands have frequent storms, hidden reefs around the islands, lack of good ports, small area, and barren land. In such a difficult place, a group of powerful people like the Ironmen was born.
In the Iron Islands, the Guardian House Greyjoys are known as the High Houses, and the other nobles are known as the Head Houses.Every captain is the king of their own ship. They are unruly and only pursue the strong and killing. The iron people are known as the most powerful warriors on the sea.
They drove the long boats to burn, kill, loot, snatch women back as salt concubines, snatch men back as slave labor, and plunder everywhere. This is the "ancient road" advocated by the Ironmen. To continue the tradition of looting is to follow the ancient road.
At the seaside, King Balon knelt on the seashore. Drowned God Priest "Three Drowned" Thaler took out the water bag and poured the sea water on King Balon's gray hair. The salt water flowed down King Balon's face and into his neck and chest.
"Great Drowned God, let your servant be reborn in the ocean like you! Please grant him the blessing of sea water, the strength of rock, and the tenacity of steel!"
Aeron Damphair put a weirwood driftwood crown on King Balon's head.
"The Rock King, the Sea Salt King, the Son of the Sea Wind, Balon, the King of the Iron Islands!"
"The dead are not dead, they will rise again, and the power will be stronger!"
A group of leaders shouted, King Balon completed the coronation ceremony, got up and returned to Pike City.
This is the fourth king of Westeros after King Joffrey of King's Landing, Renly of the Reach, and Stannis of Dragonstone.
Westeros has officially entered the era of the four kings' struggle for hegemony.
In the castle, the ugly chair that King Balon used to have disappeared. On the master seat of the hall, there is a shiny black sea stone seat carved in the shape of a sea monster.
It is said that when the ancestors first landed on the Iron Islands, the Seastone Seat was already lying on the beach of Old Wake Island. No one knows the origin of the Seastone Seat.
The hall was filled with more than 500 chiefs from all over the Iron Islands, including the Harlow family from Harlow Island, the most populous island, the Blacktys family from Kuroshio Island, the ancient and proud Drogon family from Old Wake Island, the old Wake Island from Old Wake Island, the largest island in the Iron Islands, the powerful Gubler family, the lowly slave labor descendants of the Cowd family, the Humberly family, the Farwin family with legends about skinchangers, and so on.
Life in the Iron Islands was hard. Even at the king's feast, they only ate cheese, roast mutton, black bread, stewed fish and onion pies. There were no spices, and the alcohol was only ale.
After drinking and eating, King Balon put on the driftwood crown and sat on the Seastone Seat.
"The Iron Islands have become an independent country. In order to honor the Drowned God, I want to return to the ancient ways! Immediately march to the north."
Some leaders roared, but Roderick Harlow, the Reader, didn't take it seriously. He stood up and said, "Lord Balon, why did you attack the North? Wolf King Ed already has the support of the Riverland, the North, and the Valley. What good is there in declaring war on the North?"
"The Reader" Roderick Harlow is the patriarch of the Harlow family. His territory, Harlow Island, is the most densely populated island in the Iron Islands. The Harlow family is one of the most powerful families in the Iron Islands. He is also Theon, Asha's uncle.
King Balon's face was gloomy. "The Northern Territory sent Helen the Iron Bitch to plunder Lannisport under the banner of the Greyjoy family. It is clear that they want to use the Iron Islands. I hate being used by others. Therefore, I must attack the Northern Territory."
"Even if Ed the Wolf King has the support of the North, the Valley and the Riverlands, so what? Back then, when King Robert unified the Seven Kingdoms, I dared to make myself king. Ed, who has not yet worn the crown, can't scare me at all."
"The Reader" Rodrik Harlow said: "Theon is still in the hands of the wolf king Ed. If the Iron Islands attack the North, the Wolf King will definitely kill Theon. My sister, Guenice, is looking forward to the return of Theon day and night. We can first ask Ed for Theon, and it will not be too late to attack the North when Theon returns to the Iron Islands."
The relationship between Mrs. Guannisi and King Balon has long been broken, and she has lived in Ten Towers City of her natal Harlow family all year round.
King Balon said depressedly: "It is impossible for Ed to return Theon. After so many years, if he wanted to return Theon, he would have sent it back long ago. At that time, my sons Rodrik and Maren both died at the hands of Robert and Ed. They thought that they could scare me by holding my only surviving son Sean. I don't care. I want to attack the northern border, and Ed wants to kill Theon, so let him go."
Asha said: "Father, let Theon die like this, and my mother died of grief. She has already begun to lose her mind. Wolf King Ed is also trying to win the support of the Iron Islands. Why do you have to form an alliance with the West?"
King Balon snorted softly, "Duke Tywin at least sent gold. Ed didn't even give me a copper coin. He gave a lot of sweet words in the letter. What's the use? How could I form an alliance with the Wolf King?"
"The Reader" Rodrik said, "Wolf Castles are everywhere on the west coast of the northern border, and they are heavily guarded. After the Lannisport fleet in the western border was destroyed by the iron bitch, the coastal defense of the western border is already vulnerable. Why don't we attack the western border?"
"To conquer the western region, you need as much gold as you need. There are no prosperous towns on the west coast of the northern region, and there is nothing but turnips, cobblestones and pine cones. Why give up the prosperous land and choose to attack such tough bones as the northern region? Don't forget, the wolf king also has magic dragons, skinchangers and giants in his hands."
King Balon showed a proud smile, "If Ed and I attack the Western Territory, the Western Territory will definitely fall into the hands of Ed and I within a year, but by that time, Ed's next target will be the Iron Islands. Can't you see Ed's wolf ambition?"
"Ed is too powerful. If Lannister surrenders to Ai De, Ai De's territory will span the North, the Valley, the Riverland and the West. How can the Iron Islands resist such a powerful opponent? Therefore, it is in the interests of the Iron Islands to join hands with Lannister to fight against Ai De."
"The Reader" Rodrik wanted to protest, but at this moment, the priest of the Drowned God Aeron "Damphair" spoke.
"The driftwood crown is made from the first piece of driftwood that floated to the king's hometown when the king was crowned. When King Balon was about to be crowned king, the driftwood sent by the Drowned God was a weirwood."
"In the Iron Islands, weirwood is rarely seen. Why is it weirwood? Weirwood is a tree worshiped by the believers of the old gods of the North. I believe that this is a guide sent by the Drowned God. He wants the Ironborn to follow King Balon to conquer the North and kill those barbarians who worship the weirwood, so that the Drowned God's wrath will flood the entire North."
In the Iron Islands, priests of the Drowned God are even more influential than noble lords. Whether they are leaders, civilians, captains, or sailors, they all have to respect priests of the Drowned God.
As soon as Aeron "Damphair" said this, the ironborn leaders in the hall roared in unison, "Conquer the North! Glory to the Drowned God!"
In the hall of the Burning King Tower in Harrenhal, the giant Sissy sat on the ground, feeding the dragon Hawkeye and the koi.
A dragon egg from the Vale of Arryn hatched a silver-white dragon. Ed named the dragon "Eagle Eye" because the coat of arms of the Arryn family in the Vale of Arryn was the Crescent Falcon.
The dragon eggs found in Shuangfeng Mountain in the Hejian land hatched a red, blue and green dragon. Ed named the dragon "Koi" because the Trident River is rich in carp.
Ed's first dragon, Flying Wolf, grew up on the milk of the direwolf Sunshine. Now, the little direwolves have grown up, and the female wolf, Sunshine, has already been weaned. Besides, the female wolf, Sunshine, brought Timberwolves, Shaggy Dog, Xia Tian and Bai Ling, and stayed in Winterfell instead of Harrenhal. The task of feeding the magic dragon was given to the giant Sissy.
Not long after the giant Sissy gave birth to the little giant, she had plenty of milk. She used to be Robin's nanny, but now, she has become the nanny of Koi, Hawkeye, and seven griffins.
"I actually became a dragon mother." Sissy laughed. "I feed the dragon every day. The koi, eagle eye, seven griffins and Robin are all my sons. I will see who dares to provoke me in the future."
In addition to drinking the giant's milk, the dragon koi, Hawkeye, and the seven little griffins eat a lot of mutton and pork every day. Ed hopes that they will grow up quickly.
Once the dragons and griffins grow up, Ed's air force becomes stronger.
The nobles from the river land, the valley and the northern border witnessed Eddie hatching a dragon and a griffin under the Weeping Blood Star using the power of the weirwood. In the eyes of these nobles, Eddie is like a god.
The more the nobles are afraid of Ed, the more they will obey Ed's orders.
Ed ordered the nobles in Hejian to form the Three Rivers Army. With the cooperation of the nobles in Hejian, Ed successfully reorganized the Hejian army around Harrenhal into the Three Rivers Army. The Three Rivers Army was paid by Ed and was Ed's standing army in Hejian.The nobles in Hejian sent their second sons and relatives to serve in the Sanhe Army.
The Three Rivers Army is loyal to Ed himself, and Ed appointed Blackfish Brynden, Tytos Blackwood, Janos Bracken and other river nobles as the commanders of the Three Rivers Army.
Ed, who is rich and powerful, spent money to buy many warships on the river from the nobles in the river. In the future, no matter it is the Winter Wolf Army, the Young Eagle Army or the Three Rivers Army, they can use the warships to come and go freely in the Trident River Basin to transport food, grass and soldiers.Compared with land transportation, the cost of water transportation is lower.
At the same time, Ed invested in shipyards in Yanchang Town, Maiden Spring Town, Beauty Collection, Haijiang City, Earl Harroway's town, etc., and vigorously built ships to expand the power of the navy.
Today, the North East Coast Fleet and the Valley Fleet control Crab Bay. On the west coast of Riverland, only a few warships from Sea Front City protect the coastal area. Across the sea is the Iron Islands. Fortunately, the West Coast Fleet in the North is very close to Sea Front City.
Ed needs more ships for conquest and development.
Various projects started quickly. Ed ordered the Young Eagle Army and the Three Rivers Army to build the Wolf Castle Cross City in Ruby Beach. In the future, this place will be a crossroads. The nearby towns of Earl Harroway, Saltpan Town, Maiden Spring Town and Harren Castle have sent many civilians to build Wolf Castle.
In the old holy land of Noble Heart, Ed ordered the Blackwood family, the Vance family, the Piper family, and the Bracken family to build the noble city of Wolf Castle in the noble heart. According to Ed's design, this castle is a white stone city embedded in the noble heart, surrounded by weirwood stumps. Ed believes that in time, the weirwood stumps will grow into towering trees again.
In addition, Ed ordered Robb of Riverrun to send the rock species of the West Route Army, the northern mountain clans, troglodytes, warriors of the Night Walking Tribe, and bring the peasants and craftsmen of the riverland to the city of Huangshi to repair the ancient castle.
Barren Rock City was once the castle of the famous "King of Rivers and Hills" and "Hammer of Justice" Tristephan IV. As the supreme king of the ancestors of the riverlands, Tristephan IV led the ancestors and defeated 99 attacks of the Andals, but died in 1 battle.
The castle that used to be the king of the ancestors has been reduced to ruins, but the strategic position of the deserted stone city is still important. After Ed repairs the deserted stone city, the deserted stone city can well protect the hinterland between the Blue Fork River and the Red Fork River, and protect the important town of beauty in the river.
The deserted stone city is next to the western border, and the western border is a group of mountains near the border between the deserted rock city and the Hejian land. Under normal circumstances, the army of the river land can't break through here, so the defense of the western border in this mountainous area is relatively weak.
The mountains and mountains are not difficult for Ed. The rock species in his hand, the northern mountain clan warriors, night tribes, and cavemen are all masters of mountain warfare. There are also wildling Jarl, "Goat" Greg, Eric, and other top wildling raiders. They have climbed the Great Wall many times.
Compared with the Great Wall of Desperation, the mountains in the western region are not to be feared. When the time is right, Ed can send the army of mountain masters from Huangshicheng to attack the western region over the mountains.
Now, the main force of Duke Tywin is gathered in Golden Tooth City and Riverrun City's northern riverland coalition forces to confront each other. Once the northern mountainous area of the western border is breached, Duke Tywin can only divide his troops to rescue them. At that time, Ed will be able to defeat the western border troops one by one.
Yellen, the ghost of a noble heart, came to Harrenhal and became friends with Eagle King McCain, Bear King Byers, Giant Dodo, and Sissy. She likes living in the godswood and eating fruits.
Following Yellen's dream and the warning from the Three-Eyed Crow, Ed was convinced that King's Landing had been corrupted by the undead.
Ed really wants to unite kings and lords from all over the world to jointly resist the threat of the undead, but this is not realistic.
Duke Tywin is a ruthless person. When Stannis was approaching the city, Duke Tywin did not send troops to rescue King Joffrey in King's Landing. It was clear that he no longer cared about the lives of Cersei, Tyrion and Joffrey.
It is estimated that Tywin would not mind if Joffrey died at the hands of the White Walkers or at the hands of Stannis.
As for the Iron Islands, Ed needs to beware of the attack of the Iron Islands Ironman Fleet on the North.
Stannis now occupies most of the Stormlands and the King's Landing, and has surrounded King's Landing. Stannis' red-robed woman should have foreseen the threat of King's Landing. If the undead in King's Landing want to attack humans, Stannis' territory will be attacked first.
Melisandre always brags that Stannis is the rebirth of Azor Ahai, let Stannis compete with the undead in King's Landing!
Ed was more concerned about the other dreams Yellen mentioned.
"A one-eyed dragon with a crow on his shoulder, one eye is full of smiles, and the other eye is bleeding. Three sisters are tied to a pillar by the sea by him, and they are abused by the one-eyed dragon."
Ed suspected that the one-eyed dragon with the crow on his shoulder was the second brother of King Balon, Euron "Crow's Eye", the captain of the Serenity.Every crew member on the Serenity had their tongues pulled out by Euron.
King Balon was furious when Euron had an affair with Victarion's salt concubine, and exiled Euron, claiming that Euron would not be allowed to return to the Iron Islands as long as Balon lived.
Euron the Crow's Eye had already left Westeros for an adventure in the East. In the mainland of Essos, there were horror legends about the plunder of the Serenity in many ports.
It is said that Euron the Crow's Eye has a wizard on the Serenity. In the age of resurgence, if the Crow's Eye returns with powerful magic, he will be more dangerous than King Balon and Victarion, commander of the Iron Fleet.
"The three sisters were tied to a pillar by the sea by him, and were abused by the one-eyed dragon."
Regarding this prophecy, Ed suspected that it might mean that the Crow's Eye would attack the Three Sisters Islands.
The Three Sisters Islands are located in Bite Bay, very poor, and after the valley was surrendered to the direwolves, it also became Ed's territory.
Under normal circumstances, pirates with a little brain would not go to the Three Sisters Islands to rob, because there is a pirate's den in itself, and there are no gold, silver, treasures or valuable goods.
If the Crow's Eye really wants to sack the Three Sisters, it seems that the only explanation is that the Crow's Eye is looking for some kind of power, just like his adventures in the ruins of Valyria.
Poor to poor, but the location of the Three Sisters Islands is very important, next to White Harbor and the Five Fingers Peninsula.If the Crow's Eye occupies the Three Sisters, it could directly threaten the North and the Vale.
After thinking about it, Ed immediately wrote to the Marquess of Triston Sunderland of the Three Sisters Islands and the Earl of Wyman of White Harbor, asking them to be careful of pirate attacks.It is estimated that the sisters and boys will laugh out loud when they receive this warning letter. After all, the Three Sisters Islands themselves are the hometown of Westeros pirates.
Another dream of Yellen, "A beautiful young woman hatched three dragons in the flames, followed by the Iron Legion and the cavalry army with whips and bells."
Ed felt that there was no doubt that the young woman in this dream was Daenerys.
It seems that Dragon Mama will return to Westeros with the army and the dragon. Daenerys Dragon Mama is the last descendant of the Targaryen family, and the situation in Westeros is even more chaotic.
Now Ed's power of nature is getting stronger and stronger. In Harrenhal, where the power of the old gods is strong, using the weirwood from Qianmian Islet in God's Eye Lake, Ed can already obtain the vision of trees hundreds of miles away for scouting.
He can use the trees beside the spring pool in Maiden Spring City to see girls and young women taking a bath in the spring water; through an elm tree, he can see that the Wolf Castle Cross City in Ruby Beach is being built; through a plane tree, he can see that the army camp by the Trident River in the Riverland is reclaiming wasteland, using the curved plow that was extended to the Riverland in the north.
In the courtyard of Harrenhal, Caitlin, Lysa, Sansa, and Arya looked at the silkworms in the mulberry leaves together, and Ed walked in front of them.
Marillion, Lysa's singer, and Tom of the Sevenstrings, the folk singer, were tuning their harps.
Tom Seven Strings is a warrior singer. He joined the Three Rivers Army and became close friends with the Lightning King, Earl Berri, the red monk Soros, Lemon, Angai and others.Tom Seven Strings is Edmure's enemy. He once seduced Edmure's beloved girl, causing Edmure to be very disgusted when he meets the singer.
Sansa was wearing a copper-colored silk dress. She said, "Father, can the silk spit out by this little bug really be used to make silk?"
Ed said solemnly: "Of course, in an ancient ballad, it was once sung like this:
Can'er in spring, he didn't spit out his silk until death came.
O beautiful candle, until it was reduced to ashes, his tears were not exhausted. "
Seven-stringed Tom on the side said in surprise: "Master Ed, the lyrics are really beautiful! May I ask which singer's work this is?"
Ed said mysteriously: "It's a singer of the ancestors."
Sansa picked up a mulberry leaf and saw the silkworms crawling on it, "The songs are beautiful, and the silk is also practical. In the future, we can produce silk by ourselves, so we can make more money, build more weapons and armor, and protect our people and their homes."
Caitlin held Ed's hand, "Ed, I didn't expect you to be able to raise silkworms."
Ed said: "In the future, we will raise silkworms and reel silk, and we will train many powerful craftsmen. Silk will be produced in the riverlands and valleys, and animal skins and woolen clothes will be produced in the northern border. The markets of nobles and commoners will all be occupied by us."
During the lord meeting of Harrenhal, Ed showed the mulberry leaves and silkworms to the lords of the riverland and valley. Now, in the manor of Harrenhal, the first sericulture farm has started to raise silkworms. In the future, Ed will promote silkworm raising and reeling in the valley and riverland.
Due to the climate, the northern region is not suitable for raising silkworms, but the riverlands and valleys are very suitable because the climate here is warm and the sun is sufficient.
There is no silk in Westeros, and the silk that the nobles spend a lot of money to buy all comes from the distant Yidi. The people of Westeros don’t know how the silk comes from. Some people think that it comes from the hands of Yidi fairies, and some people think that the silk grows on a kind of precious tree.
Ed thought there were no silkworms in Westeros until he obtained the power of nature, and when he sucked the power of nature in the river, he easily sniffed out the silkworms in the woods.
The free trade city-state earned a lot of gold from Westeros by transporting spices and silk from the east. After that, Ed wanted to develop the silk textile industry by himself.There is no doubt that silk will earn high profits for Ed.
The next day, Ed left Harrenhal. He took Direwolf Night Walk, Demon Dragon Flying Wolf, Eagle Prince Michu, Roose Bolton, and Theon to Sea Front City. The name was to inspect the Sea Border City fleet. In fact, Ed was worried that the Iron Islands fleet would attack Wolf Castle on the west coast of the North.
Harrenhal's commander is Lord Rickard Karstark, and he is loyal.Roose Bolton, whose loyalty is worrying, Theon, the heir of the Iron Islands, and Ed will always be with him.
Prior to this, Red Viper Oberyn, Lightning King, Soros the Red Priest, Baron Swann, Bronze Jon, Lynn Corbray and other heroes had all set off for Riverrun to prepare for the war with the West.
Whether it is the enemy in the West or the Iron Islands, Ed is ready to attack.
As for the Lannisters in King's Landing, leave it to Renly and Stannis!
At Bitter Bridge, King Renly and his army of [-] rivers were stationed in the camp east of Bitter Bridge. King Renly feasted every day in a gold silk tent.
That night, Renly drank golden wine and listened to the singer's songs, lying on a soft feather bed.
Brienne felt that Renly was forcing a smile on his face. The nightmare of the fiasco in the West had always plagued Renly. Now, Renly was going to the Stormlands to face his brave brother Stannis.
Lord Randyll Tarly and Lord Matus Rowan entered.As Lord Mace Tyrell stayed in Highgarden with a large army to guard against the Lannisters in the West, Lord Randyll Tarly and Lord Matus Rowan became Renly's right-hand men in the army.
Earl Matus Rowan cleared his throat, "Your Majesty, when will we march?"
Renly sat up lazily, picked up a grape, and put it in his mouth.
"The Redwyne Fleet on the Arbor Isle is estimated to be heading east in the summer sea south of Dorne. When the Arbor Island fleet arrives at the Stormlands and approaches the castle of Storm's End, Stannis will definitely withdraw his troops to help Storm's End. We can fight to the Stormlands and win back the support of the Stormlands and the nobles."
Earl Randall Tarly frowned, "Your Majesty, Storm's End is your home castle. You know Storm's End best. It is one of the most majestic castles in all of Westeros. Even if the Arbor Island fleet blocks the waters around Storm's End, the Arbor Island fleet will not be able to shake that majestic castle."
"It's impossible for Stannis to withdraw his troops to help Storm's End. He must have enough backup. Don't forget, Stannis' advantage is the navy. He has the royal fleet in his hand, as well as the fleet of the Lys pirate Salado Saan."
Renly braced himself, "Then, according to your ideas, how should we attack?"
Matus Rowan said: "Soldiers are expensive, and I suggest that Your Majesty, march as quickly as possible."
Earl Randall echoed: "Yes, our army can quickly march into Green Valley City. Green Valley City is the aristocratic castle closest to the Stormlands on Rose Avenue. It is rumored that Earl Meidou may surrender to Stannis. When our army arrives in Green Valley City, Earl Meidou will remain loyal to His Majesty."
Renly smiled and said, "Earl Meidou is a good friend of mine. We often participate in martial arts tournaments together. When he was in King's Landing, he lived in my mansion for half a year. It is impossible for Earl Meidou to betray me."
Matus Rowan said: "Since Earl Meidou is Your Majesty's friend, we should march forward more quickly, otherwise, Your Majesty's friend may be attacked by Stannis. When we reach Green Valley City, we can directly attack the Stormlands."
Earl Randall said: "Your Majesty, you can give me [-] troops, and I will lead them away from Qinshu Beach. I can enter the Stormland from Qinshu Beach, burn, kill and loot all the way. After I capture a few castles in the Stormlands, the Stormland army under Stannis will definitely be popular. Your Majesty will lead the army to attack along the Rose Road, and I will definitely win a big victory."
Renly wagged his fingers in denial.
"Earl Landau, from the first day I put on the crown, I swore to the gods in the sky that the common people will live a good life. When we fight, we must protect the common people. I will never allow such things as burning, killing and looting. I will win the support of the nobles and commoners of the Stormlands with my benevolent heart."
Earl Randall said depressedly: "Your Majesty, during the war, kindness will only harm you. How can you win the war without bloodshed or killing?"
Renly stood up, "Then I'd rather win the war with dignity. Actually, I've thought about it. It's best if we wait for the Lannisters in King's Landing to counterattack Stannis before we enter the Stormlands. This is the best way. Cersei and the little devil have hidden a lot of mercenaries and Lannister's soldiers in King's Landing. Cersei will definitely not sit still, right?"
At this time, Sir Loras walked in, "Earl Meidou of Green Valley City sent a thousand cavalry, Green Apple Fossoway and Red Apple Fossoway sent two thousand cavalry, a total of 3000 people."
Renly turned to Earl Randall, and Earl Matus said triumphantly, "You two, you doubted Earl Meidou's loyalty just now, look, he sent soldiers here."
Renly turned to Loras. "Treat these soldiers well. Let them eat and sleep well."
The Fossoway family and the Meidou family in Green Valley City have secretly defected to Stannis, and these three thousand troops are Stannis' internal support.The face of the red-robed woman Melisandre was hidden under the hood, and she was mixed among the soldiers of Green Valley City. In addition, there were Sir Gordy Farling, Sir Justin Marseille, Richard Hope and other heroes, all of which appeared in this team.
When the entire camp fell into a deep sleep, the soldiers of Green Valley City and the Fossoway family started to set fire. Melisandre spilled a fire, and a tent burst into flames instantly.
Stannis led ten thousand elite cavalry along the Rose Road like cutting cheese, and charged into Renly's camp.
There was a shout of killing, and soldiers from the Fossoway family and the Meidou family occupied Bitterbridge. Each of these soldiers was equipped with a crossbow or crossbow. Since Renly's camp was east of Bitterbridge, many soldiers were shot to death by random arrows and blocked the bridge. The soldiers behind trampled each other.
Loras and Brienne rushed left and right, but they couldn't get to the bridge. Fortunately, there was a boat under the bridge. Brienne untied the cable and helped Renly into the boat. Loras drew his sword and followed.
Some of Renly's soldiers and attendants rushed to board the boat, but the boat couldn't carry so many people. Loras swung his sword and killed seven soldiers, and then Brienne rowed away from the shore and rowed to the other side.Renly watched these soldiers, squires who served him every day, die under the sword of Loras, tears streaming down his face.
Renly's army was disintegrating. After Renly, Loras and Brienne fled to the other side, Loras and Brienne immediately led the soldiers of Baron Caswell at Bitterbridge to attack the Fossoway family on the bridge.
The soldiers of the Fossoway family and the Meidou family on the bridge lost their courage in an instant after being flanked. They were either hacked to death by the cavalry, or killed by the angry Loras and Brienne leading the soldiers. The ancient bridge was stained red with blood, and the surrounding river was full of corpses.
Although Renly's army recaptured Bitterbridge, the camp in the east was completely defeated. Stannis took all the food, grass and supplies, and countless nobles and knights in the Reach were captured.
That night, Renly experienced the bitterness of Bitterbridge, and he lost completely.
King's Landing, Red Castle, Throne Hall, Cersei sitting on the Iron Throne, surrounded by candlelight.
Since Prince Rhaegar came to Cersei's court in the death storm, Cersei didn't allow torches to be lit in the throne room, and only lit two rows of incense candles every time, so the huge throne room looked dark and weird.
Tyrion and Pycelle stood in the shadow of the Iron Throne, and Tyrion felt a little cold.
It's still summer, why is it so cold?At this time, Tyrion noticed that there was a thin layer of frost under the feet of Deathstorm and Prince Rhaegar, who were guarding both sides of the Iron Throne stairs.
Cersei's emerald green eyes, for a moment, unexpectedly showed a strange azure blue, but fortunately, they returned to emerald green afterwards.
"Varys escaped?"
Tyrion cleared his throat, "Varys went to the streets to inquire about news and never came back. Maybe something happened to him, or he really ran away."
Grand Maester Pycelle stroked his snow-white beard, "I've had enough of those pretentious eunuchs, Your Majesty, Varys is not trustworthy."
Cersei said disdainfully: "Whether Varys is dead or alive, I don't care. Anyway, with Ogbeta, I don't need him anymore. I will appoint Ogbeta as the chief intelligence officer."
Pai Xier's eyes widened, "Your Majesty, Ogbeta is from outside the Great Wall. This man is an ungodly savage. How can he attend the imperial meeting?"
Tyrion thought viciously, "Pycelle, you old idiot, you disliked Varys just now, and now I give you a necromancer, do you know the benefits of eunuchs?"
Ogbeta, the necromancer, hunched over and held a skeleton scepter, walked into the throne room. Ogbeta gave Grand Maester Pacelle a mocking smile.
"Brother Paicell, you say I don't respect God? How is this possible? I am a devout servant of the God of Cold."
Grand Maester Pycelle started to get scared, "In King's Landing, the gods people worship are the Seven Gods."
Ogbetta pointed to Cersei on the Iron Throne with the skeleton scepter, "The Queen Regent has abandoned the Seven Gods and become a follower of the Cold God."
Tyrion is not surprised at all, King's Landing is becoming a city of the dead, Cersei is either a death storm, Prince Rhaegar, or a necromancer like Ogbeta.
Cersei stepped down from the Iron Throne, "In order to please the cold god, I have decided to destroy the statues of the seven gods in the royal sanctuary of the Red Castle."
Tyrion wanted to say something, but when he saw the death storm beside him, Prince Rhaegar, he still kept his mouth shut.
The dead still serve Cersei and offend the cold god. Presumably Cersei will not mind turning me into a dead dwarf. Once I, Tyrion, are reborn, I will probably be a court jester.
Grand Maester Pycelle said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this is an offense to the gods in the sky! If the archbishop knows that you have committed such a crazy act, how will the church feel? How will those knights who devoutly believe in the Seven Gods feel?"
Ogberta stretched out the skeleton scepter to Pycelle, "Grand Maester, are you from the Academy City or from the Church? Since you are so devout, I suggest you dedicate your life to the Seven Gods, how about it?"
Pai Xier was covered in cold sweat, "Your Majesty, Ogbeta dared to threaten me, an old man."
Cersei smiled and said, "Pycelle, I've had enough of your advice, if you don't want to die, just shut up."
Cersei turned to Tyrion, "What do you think?"
Tyrion smiled the sweetest, "I fully support Queen Cersei's decision."
Cersei, Tyrion, and Grand Maester Pacelle followed Ogbeta to the royal sanctuary. Tyrion thought that Cersei would burn down the statues of the Seven Gods, but he didn't expect Deathstorm to smash them with an ice hammer.
Tyrion said to Ogbetta, "Why just burn a fire?"
Ogbeta said gloomyly: "Burn the statue, it's a trick of the red-robed woman and the red-robed monk, only the followers of the Red God R'hllor do it. We believers of the Cold God use ice hammers to smash it."
Under the beating of the ice hammer, the Seven Gods were all shattered and collapsed.
Ogbetta said: "Tyrion, you have a good brain. The Cold God needs your wisdom. Are you interested in becoming a servant of the Cold God?"
Tyrion smiled nervously, "I'm afraid, I don't know much about the cold god."
Ogbeta said: "You just need to know that the cold god is the most powerful god in the world, and that's enough. Tyrion, I know you like to find prostitutes and want beautiful women, so why not?"
"As long as you become a believer of the Cold God, Aegon's sister, the Queen of Flowers, Maegor's Dark Bride, King Renrui's whore princess, the three sisters of St. Baelor's Maid House, Aegon IV's nine beautiful mistresses, and even the most beautiful courtesan in the history of Braavos, the most beautiful courtesan in the Lys brothel, the most beautiful bed slave in Yunkai, and the most beautiful Priestess of Love in the Summer Isles, may be your bed plaything."
Being able to share the bed with the most beautiful woman in history, but thinking that these are all ghosts of the past, there is a cold body under the beautiful appearance.
Besides, most of the wizard's promises were lies. Tyrion lost interest in an instant. He pretended to be pious, "I've decided, for the sake of honoring the cold god, I'd rather be pure-hearted and ascetic."
In the courtyard, a group of nuns knelt on the ground and wept, and then Ogbeta ordered Deathstorm and Prince Rhaegar to bring a team of black robes—the golden robes adapted by Cersei, all of whom were followers of the cold god.The group traveled to the godswood and felled the trees of the godswood with ice axes.
Under the protection of the mercenary Bronn, Tyrion returned to the Prime Minister's Tower.
Bronn lowered his voice: "People are saying that Deathstorm is the living dead, and Singer of Lys is Prince Rhaegar reborn, is that true?"
Tyrion said gloomily, "Even you have."
Bronn said: "I don't like the Red Castle. I feel that the Red Castle these days is similar to a cemetery."
The wall of the fireplace snapped open, and Varys stepped out of the secret passage.
"Tyrion, hurry up and follow me! Only you and the old Pycelle are left in the imperial meeting. If you continue to stay in the Red Keep, you will become a corpse sooner or later."
Tyrion said: "Ogbeta, the necromancer, invited me to serve the cold god, and I declined."
Varys said helplessly: "You can refuse, and then he can stab you to death. The dead will not refuse. Just look at our Prince Rhaegar and Robert. In Cersei's undead court, the Prime Minister is still needed. Cersei doesn't love you. You and I both know that she loves her twin brother, not the dwarf brother."
"If you stay in King's Landing, you will die. Your golden hand necklace will sooner or later become a skull necklace."
"Where shall I go, out of the Red Keep?" said Tyrion.
Varys lowered his voice, "I found some pious knights and beggar brothers in the hills of Visenya. We can try to save King's Landing and the Seven Kingdoms from Cersei."
"Just you and me, the dwarf and the eunuch."
