Chapter 196 Clash of Kings, Frost Dragon, King's Landing Hunt
Chapter 196 Clash of Kings, Frost Dragon, King's Landing Hunt
In the camp of the Western Territory Army in Golden Tooth City, Tywin's face was ashen.
"Ed hatched two more dragons in Harrenhal? Is it true or not?"
James grimaced, "Yes, Cousin Cleo Frey received his cousin's letter. The Frey family, together with nobles from the Riverland, Valley, and the North, witnessed the birth of the magic dragon. The hatched dragon eggs in the Valley are called Eagle Eyes, and the hatched dragon eggs in the Riverlands are called Koi."
Cleo Frey's mother is Jaime's aunt Gina, and his father is Emmon Frey, the second son of Lord Walder. Therefore, Cleo Frey is half Lannister and half Frey, and has a close relationship with a bunch of Freys in the Twin River City.
The news brought by Sir Kevan was even worse. "The spies we sent to the riverlands all sent back the same news. Ed not only hatched the magic dragon Hawkeye and Koi in Harrenhal, but also the griffin. There are seven griffins in total. The monks in the riverland and the valley began to publicize that the griffin and the magic dragon are the miracles of the seven gods."
In Tywin's golden eyes, the anger was even stronger, "Griffin? Is it the kind of lion that can fly? The coat of arms of our Lannister family is a roaring lion. Could it be that next time, we will not only deal with dragons, but also deal with griffins?"
James stroked his blond hair, "I remember, the Clinton family of Griffin's Roost, the coat of arms is a griffin. This kind of creature only appears in songs and fairy tales, isn't it extinct long ago?"
Sir Kevan sneered, "What's so strange? We used to think that giants, skinchangers, giant eagles, and magic dragons were all extinct. Don't they all appear now? I heard that Ed found the griffin eggs in the valley. There have always been legends about the Griffin King in the valley."
Tywin sighed, "Giant eagles, giants, griffins, these strange threats are not as good as the magic dragon. In the past, Ed had only one magic dragon, Flying Wolf, and I dreamed of having a dragon slayer warrior to kill this magic dragon, so that we can offset Stark's advantage."
"Now, Stark has three magic dragons in his hands, how do we fight? Back then, Aegon the Conqueror took his sisters Visenia and Rhaenys, and they conquered Westeros with only three magic dragons in their hands."
James said: "Father, don't be too pessimistic. Aegon and his sisters, Vagarhar, Balerion, and Meraxes in their hands are all one of the largest dragons in the history of Westeros. The two dragons in Stark's hand are just hatched, and they are probably about the size of a hound. Only the dragon, the flying wolf hatched in Winterfell, is a little threatening."
Tywin said coldly: "Yes, Stark's dragon is a cub, but Stark now has the support of the North, the riverlands, and the valley. Stark not only has a larger territory and population than us, but also has a deadly weapon like a dragon in his hand. Why is Ed hatching a dragon as easy as hatching a chicken?"
Sir Kevan said: "I have communicated with some bachelors, and they all said that the magic has returned, and the aura has been revived, leading to the return of creatures such as dragons, griffins, and giant eagles."
Tywin stared at the map in front of him, and his eyes stayed in the mountains of the western border.
"The Lannisters are full of gold. If I had known, I should have tried to buy some dragon eggs. Do you think there will be dragon eggs in the West?"
Sir Kevan thought for a while, "Back then, members of the royal family of the Targaryen family often took magic dragons to tour the western borders, and maybe they would lay dragon eggs in the western borders. I remember that King Renrui's sister Rhaenia married Sir Andrew of the Farman family. She was bisexual and had a bunch of beautiful pets. The most favored one was Alisa Farman."
"Alyssa Farman followed Princess Rhaena to Dragonstone Island. She stole the three dragon eggs of the princess's mount, the dragon Dreamfire, and fled to sea. After escaping to Braavos, she sold the dragon eggs to the Sea King of Braavos. With the money from selling the eggs, she built a large sailing ship for herself and started her own voyage."
James smirked and said, "Uncle, are you talking about more than 100 years ago? After more than 100 years, there are still no dragons in Braavos. It seems that Alisa Farman deceived Aquaman back then. The three dragon eggs never hatched."
Sir Kevan said, "Where did the three dragon eggs go? Who can say for sure? However, there has been a rumor circulating in many ports recently, saying that Daenerys, the sister of the beggar king Viserys, hatched three dragons in the continent of Essos."
Tywin clenched his fists, "This is really a feast for dragons. Unfortunately, we are the prey of dragons. Lannister must have his own dragons. My grandsons Joffrey, Tommen, and Myrcella all have the blood of the Targaryen family. As long as dragons are hatched in the West, we have dragon knights."
James looked at Tywin with pity, and thought, "Father, those grandchildren of yours are all of mine. They have nothing to do with Robert. Naturally, they didn't inherit the blood of the Dragon King. Besides, you refused to send troops to rescue King's Landing. King's Landing fell, and your grandchildren can still survive."
Suddenly, James realized that this was a good opportunity to persuade Tywin to enter King's Landing. He said: "Father, Cersei, Tyrion, Tommen, Myrcella, and Joffrey are all in King's Landing. If you want your grandchildren to become dragon knights, you should immediately send troops to rescue King's Landing."
Tywin glared at James, as if he thought James was an idiot, "[-] riverland and northern troops have gathered in the Riverlands, and I heard that there are Canyon Knights gathering for Riverrun. If I divide my troops to rescue King's Landing, Brynden the Blackfish and Robin the Wolf Cub will definitely attack the Westlands immediately."
"How many times have I said this? I won't divide my troops to rescue King's Landing. The distance is too far and beyond reach. Cersei and Tyrion can only protect themselves. I am in King's Landing, and I have left enough gold and manpower for them. They should be content."
Sir Kevan said worriedly: "Speaking of King's Landing, some terrible rumors have spread recently, saying that King Robert has been reborn, and that Prince Rhaegar has also returned from the grave to serve Queen Cersei in King's Landing. There are still folklore that Cersei became a corpse queen and reused a necromancer to worship the terrible dark god."
Tywin said contemptuously: "This kind of nonsense must be the rumors released by Ed, Renly or Stannis. It is as shameless as they spread the affair between James and Cersei before, and it is not worth discussing at all."
James still refused to give up on rescuing King's Landing. He said, "Golden Tooth City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is enough to keep 1 people guarding the Golden Tooth Pass. The enemy cannot attack at all."
Tywin said depressedly: "If the enemy is a ground force, it is true, but don't forget that Ed has giant eagles and dragons in his hands. They can bypass the mountains and the Golden Tooth City from the air and attack the western region directly. If Ed's dragon grows up, our chances of winning will be even lower. Lannister must hatch his own dragon."
James said helplessly, "We don't even have dragon eggs."
Tywin thought for a while, "Since Alisa Farman stole Dreamfire's dragon eggs back then, and Dreamfire once lived on Fairy Island, I think there may be dragon eggs in Fairy Island. I will order Earl Farman to find dragon eggs. In addition, I will send a letter to Lannister's friends in Free Trade City to buy dragon eggs at a high price."
Sir Kevan looked at the letter in his hand, "According to the information from the Riverlands, Ed sent people to restore the Barren Stone City, and is still building Wolf Castle in Noble Heart, Ruby Beach. Ed is also relying on the Tully family's Riverrun City, the Vance Family's Alan City and Traveling Rest City, and the Piper Family's Pink City, to build military settlements, and build arrow towers and fortifications everywhere."
"The number of the Three Rivers Army in Hejian has exceeded 2. The Three Rivers Army, the Winter Wolf Army in the North, and the Young Eagle Army in the Valley have become Ed's standing army."
Tywin stared at the map, "It seems that Ed wants to develop in the river for a long time, I will not sit still, I will take the initiative to attack."
Sir Kevan frowned, "The ravens from the Iron Islands have sent news that King Balon has been crowned king and has dispatched the Iron Islands fleet to attack Wolf's Castle along the northern coast. Once the northern coast falls, Ed will mobilize troops to deal with the Iron Islands, and Riverrun's troops are bound to decline. Wouldn't it be better to attack at that time?"
Tywin tapped the map with the index finger of his right hand, "I originally planned the same way, but now, Ed sent troops to rebuild the Wasteland Stone City, and in the future, it will be the bridgehead that threatens the northern mountains of the Western Territory."
James didn't take it seriously, "The western boundary near Huangshi City is all high mountains, and the enemy can't break through."
Tywin snorted softly, "The rock species in Ed's hands, the northern mountain clans, the cave dwellers outside the Great Wall, and the nocturnal tribes are good at fighting in the mountains. Besides, even the mountain tribes in the valley have joined Ed's team. Ed has giant eagles and dragons in his hands. I want to order the lords of the western region near the deserted rock city to prepare good bows and crossbows to strengthen their defenses."
"I will send light cavalry to plunder the countryside of the riverlands as much as possible, destroy their military camps, and release the warrior group, so that Vargo Hutt, the Magic Mountain, and Amory Lodge will spread fear in the riverlands. At the same time, I will send assassins to Harrenhal to slay dragons."
James asked in astonishment, "Dragon Slaying?"
Tai Wen said: "The magic dragon has become Ed's tool to unite people's hearts. The soldiers in the valley, the north, and the riverland are all cheering for the magic dragon, and their blood is boiling. While the young dragons in Harrenhal are still young, get rid of them quickly. Otherwise, when the koi and eagle eyes grow up, the western region can only bow to the magic dragon again. The worst thing is that this time the master of the magic dragon is replaced by a direwolf."
Ser Kevan said, "Which assassin will you send to complete the plan to slay the dragon?"
Duke Tywin thought for a while, "Just send the golden girl!"
The blond, blue-eyed Golden Girl, who is almost as beautiful as Cersei, claims to be a beast tamer, but in fact, according to James' observation, the Golden Girl is more like a forest witch.She can easily charm sparrows, wild wolves and other animals, and has a male lion as a mount.
After a while, James brought the golden girl to Duke Tywin's tent. Duke Tywin said: "I plan to send you to Harrenhal to slay dragons. Whether it's poison or dark magic, you can help me kill the young eagle eye and the koi. It would be better to get rid of the seven griffin cubs by the way. After you complete the task, I will give you a lot of rewards. Do you have the confidence to complete this task?"
The golden girl is wearing a pink brocade dress, which outlines her perfect figure, and she shows a charming smile.
"Duke Tywin, griffins and dragons are miracles reborn in this world. The best way is to let me charm you with magic, and let the dragons and griffins fight for you."
Tywin's golden eyes flashed with excitement, "Can you charm the dragon?"
The golden girl said: "I have to admit that the magic dragon is different from other animals. I can try the charm dragon."
Duke Tywin said dejectedly: "Try? That means you're not sure? When you're on the battlefield, you have to avoid everything you're not sure about. Since you're not sure about Charming the Demon Dragon, then go to Harrenhal and cleanly get rid of the Demon Dragon and the Griffin for me."
The golden girl said: "Do you know why Ed chose to incubate the dragon and the griffin in Harrenhal? Because Harrenhal is next to God's Eye Lake, the Isle of Thousand Faces in the center of God's Eye Lake, and has a weirwood forest. The power of the old gods there is unprecedentedly powerful. My magic is very difficult to cast there, and it is impossible to kill the dragon and the griffin."
Tywin was very depressed, "Can I just stay here and wait for Stark's dragon to grow up?"
Sir Kevan on the side said: "Duke Tywin, according to the news sent by the spies of the Reach, Stannis defeated Renly at Bitterbridge, and Renly fled towards Highgarden. I feel that Renly's Reach empire has begun to collapse. The Tyrell family will definitely not follow the loser Renly. We can win the support of the Reach."
"With the army of the Reach, the Reach and the West will attack the Riverland together, and Harrenhal will be captured, and all the dragons will be ours."
Tywin thought for a while, "The wealth of the Reach plus the wealth of the West is far more than that of the Valley, the North, and the Riverlands. Kevan, your method may be worth trying."
The golden girl's eyes flickered, "Duke Tywin, the sparrow I sent to the Reach brought back news that Lannister is in the Reach, where powerful magic can be found. Don't forget, all the forbidden books on magic are in the school city of Old Town."
"Please send me as an envoy to Highgarden. I will definitely win the support of Tyrell and the Reach for Duke Tywin."
The Reach, Green Valley City, here is the castle of the Meidou family on the Rose Road, close to the Stormlands, so Earl Wood Meidou, under the strife of Earl Alister Florent, abandoned King Renly of Highgarden and fell to King Stannis.
The soldiers of the Meidou family and the Fossoway family played a key role in the Battle of Bitterbridge. It was the soldiers of these two Reach nobles who attacked Bitterbridge and blocked Renly's army on the east bank of the Mander River, followed by a massacre.
Then Lando Tarly, Sir Loras, Brienne and others on the river bend took back Bitterbridge and stopped Stannis's attack, but Renly's army was completely defeated that night.
During the Battle of Bitterbridge, many nobles and knights of the Reach who were loyal to Renly were captured, and Stannis ordered all these prisoners to be locked in the dungeon of Green Valley City.
Hostages are very useful bargaining chips. In the next few days, the former Prime Minister Alister Florent used some noble hostages to knock on the gates of many castles in the Reach, and successfully persuaded these nobles to abandon Renly and fall to Stannis.
These include Lord Titus Peake of Starscrew, whose sigil is three castles on an orange field; and Lord Orton Marilyways of the Long Table Hall, whose sigil is a golden horn of abundance overflowing with carrots, apples, leeks, turnips, and colorful fruits.
The Peake family used to be one of the most powerful nobles in the Reach. Their ancestor was the husband of "Fox" Flores. The Peake family in its heyday owned the three castles of Star Shuttle City, White Garden City and Dustonbury.
Among them, Dustonbury was originally the castle of the Mandalay family. More than 1000 years ago, the Mandalay family in the Mande River Basin was so powerful that it had already influenced the gardener king who ruled the Reach at that time.
In return, the Gardener family rewarded Dustonbury to the Peake family, and the Peake family owned Star Shuttle City, White Garden City, and Dustonbury castles at once, and they were the only ones in the wealthy Reach.
The Mandalay family who lost their home had no choice but to start a tragic exile career. They wandered around the Seven Kingdoms. About 900 years ago, the Mandalay family came to the North and was accepted by the Stark family, the king of the North.
The Stark family entrusted the Mandalay family to the wolf's lair at the mouth of the White Knife River to resist the invasion of the sister pirates and the king of the valley.
Over the ensuing centuries, the Manderlys used their wealth in the Reach to help Wolf's Den develop into a city.
The Peake family, who drove away the Mandalay family, had been prosperous for hundreds of years during the Gardener King period. The Peake family, which held three castles, frequently intermarried with the Gardener family, Hightower family, Florent family and other Reach families.
However, Aegon the Conqueror severed the bloodline of the Gardener family of the Reach King in the battle of "Raging Fire". The Reach and Highgarden fell into the hands of the "mere stewards" the Tyrell family.
During the period of Daeron II, Earl Gormon Peake supported Damon Blackfyre's rebellion. After the Blackfyre rebellion was suppressed, the three castles of the Peake family, Dustonbury and White Garden City, were taken away by the Iron Throne, leaving only Star Shuttle City.
In the hall of Green Valley City, Davos, the onion knight, and Melisandre, the red-robed woman, stood beside Stannis, watching Earl Titus Peake of Star Shuttle City and Orton Merryweather of Long Table Hall swear allegiance to Stannis.
Among the well-dressed nobles of the Reach and the Stormlands, Stannis looked very modest, always in woolen coat and breeches.
Earl Titus Peake said: "Your Majesty, the Peake family will follow Your Majesty to fight against all rebellion. After the war, the Peake family hopes that Your Majesty can return Dustonbury and White Garden City to the Peake family. That was originally the castle of the Peake family."
Earl Orton Merryweather said: "Our Merryweather family in the Long Table Hall will fight against those traitors who support Renly. Our family was deprived of many fiefdoms during the time of Mad King Aerys. I hope His Majesty will return those fiefdoms to us after the war is over."
Stannis's jaw tightened. "You promised to help me fight the traitor, but remember, you followed Renly yesterday. Prove your loyalty first!"
The Onion Knight noticed that Lord Peake and Lord Marilyweather looked confused, that Renly was always polite and smiling, and that Stannis was always too harsh.
Stannis immediately waved his hand to signal for everyone to back down, so Lord Alister Florent led the nobles of the Reach and the Stormlands out of the hall.
Only the Onion Knight remained in the hall, and Melisandre, the red-robed woman, accompanied the king.
Stannis began to grind his teeth, "These are the nobles of the Reach that Lord Alister Florent won back for me. In my opinion, they are nothing more than fluff!"
The Onion Knight said: "Your Majesty, they have a chance to prove their loyalty. In any case, winning the support of several Reach nobles is a victory for Your Majesty, and Renly's supporters will become fewer and fewer."
Stannis said: "Lord Peake is eager to restore the castle. If I can't satisfy him, he may go to Joffrey and join the Lannisters. Lord Peake's wife is a Lannister, from the Lannister line; as for Orton Merryweather, his wife is from Myr, and they are said to be an ambitious woman."
"Ser Jon Fossoway, who abandoned Renly and surrendered to me before, is married to Jayna Tyrell, the sister of the Duke of Mace. It stands to reason that Sir Jon Fossoway should face Highgarden and swear allegiance to Renly to the death. However, when the army of the Stormlands approached, Sir Jon Fossoway defected along with the Fossoway family."
The Onion Knight said: "I heard that the Duke of Metz asked his second son, Garland, to take over Brightwater City. The wife of Earl Garland is also from the Fossoway family."
Stannis said depressedly: "You're right. You see, the nobles of the Reach who have taken refuge in me are almost all relatives to my enemies. They are deeply intertwined, thinking that they can resist the king's orders by joining forces. To a certain extent, they are right. After all, the king cannot eradicate these nobles."
Melisandre said indifferently: "Your Majesty, Renly is no longer a threat to you. I have already foreseen Renly's demise in the sacred fire. Soon, the nobles of the Reach will abandon him."
"Your Majesty should be wary of the enemies of King's Landing. I saw in the holy fire that a storm of death is brewing and may sweep across the land at any time."
The Reach, Highgarden, Lady Olenna, the Queen of Thorns, came to the castle hall with the help of her guards' left and right hands.
In the luxurious high court, the hall is covered with Myrish carpets, and the murals of Gals the Greenhand hang on the walls.
Lord Mace Tyrell sat angrily on an oaken chair in the hall, clutching a crumpled letter in his hand.Ser Loras stood aside in rose armor, and Olenna asked her grandson Loras, "Where is Lord Renly?"
There was a flash of sadness in Loras' eyes, "Your Majesty is very sad. He has nightmares every day. Apart from drinking, he sleeps every day. Neither I nor Margaery can comfort Your Majesty."
Mrs. Olenna said unhappily: "Of course you will have nightmares when you sleep in broad daylight. Renly is not ready to be king at all. He lost to Lannister at Crake Hall in the Westlands, and was beaten to death by Stannis at Bitterbridge."
Loras said angrily, "Grandmother, I don't allow you to say that about His Majesty Renly. He was in charge of the army and almost died on the battlefield. At that time, Brienne, Your Majesty, and I were crowded together in the boat. Many of His Majesty's personal soldiers and attendants were scrambling to get on the boat. The boat almost capsized. In desperation, I swung my sword and killed many attendants."
"Aides like Joseph, Donald, Barack, George, and Bill, these servants, personal soldiers, serve around Renly every day. Renly saw me hacking them to death with his own eyes, and he felt heartbroken. This proves that he is a kind-hearted person, doesn't it?"
Lady Olenna smiled through her toothless mouth, and she put her hands on Loras' shoulders to comfort him, "Loras, don't get excited. Go and protect your king! Your Majesty Renly needs you."
Sir Loras left angrily. The smile on Lady Olenna's face disappeared. She turned to Duke Mace, "His Majesty Renly always smiles and thinks he is attractive, but he is not suitable to be a king. He knows nothing about governing the country, marching and fighting. He only hangs out with a group of handsome attendants all day long. Such a person cannot dominate Westeros in troubled times."
Lord Mace Tyrell clutched the letter in his hand tightly, "Mother, maybe you are right. After Renly's fiasco at Bitterbridge, the Peck family in Starstrip City and the Merryweather family in the Chart Table Hall all fell to Stannis. The nobles at the border between the Reach and the Stormlands are at risk of defecting. It was the traitor Alister Florent who persuaded these families to surrender to Stannis."
Mrs. Olenna's face was gloomy, "Renly's territory in the Reach is getting smaller and smaller, and more and more castles and lords are switching to Stannis. I heard that Stannis will reward Florent with Highgarden after he conquers the Reach, and let the Florens family become the governor of the Reach and the guardians of the southern border."
After Earl Alister Florent brought his family and the Eastern Army of the Reach to Stannis, Renly deprived the Florent family's castle of Brightwater, and transferred the Florent family's castle and fiefdom to Garland, the second son of Duke Mace Tyrell. Garland became the number one nobleman in the Seven Kingdoms.
The Tyrell family's fief expanded a lot, but in the end, Florent actually wanted to take Highgarden away.
Lord Mace Tyrell had a bitter face, "I heard that Stannis is determined to attack the Reach. He has always hated me and Lord Paxter Redwyne for besieging Storm's End."
Mrs. Olenna's family is from the Redwyne family on Arbor Island, and Earl Paxter Redwyne is her nephew. She quickly said: "Earl Paxter is taking the Arbor Island fleet to attack the Stormlands. Now we are in a land battle in the Reach, and the Arbor Island fleet is meaningless to attack the Stormlands. I feel that it is meaningless to send a raven to send a letter to Earl Paxter, so that he can return with the fleet."
Mace Tyrell nodded like a goose. "I'll tell the maester to do it right away."
Olenna said depressedly: "Back then, when Renly married Margaery in Highgarden and was crowned king, he boasted that he could bring Tyrell's first queen and bring Tyrell more territory and wealth. What happened? The army of the Reach, led by Renly, was defeated repeatedly, and Tyrell's vassals fell to Stannis one after another."
"Thanks to Lord Randyll Tarly, who led his troops to guard the Bitterbridge, otherwise, there would be more nobles from the Reach to seek refuge with Stannis."
"Someone has to tell Renly that his dream of being a king has been completely shattered, and that House Tyrell can't continue to follow such a loser as him."
Duke Mace Tyrell's eyes widened. "However, our Margaery is married to Renly. I want my daughter to be the queen. Only Margaery becomes the queen, the king who gave birth to the Tyrell blood, and no one in the Reach dares to mock the Tyrell housekeeper's blood."
Mrs. Olenna said disdainfully: "I heard that King Balon was crowned king in the Iron Islands, but I don't understand it. In the Iron Islands, where the birds don't shit, there will be people who will become kings themselves. These days, there are too many kings. You don't have to be Renly if you want Margaery to be queen."
"Her Majesty Renly is overwhelmed with grief now, and he drinks every day. No one will be surprised if His Majesty dies on a feather bed because of grief and alcoholism."
Duke Mace rubbed his heart, "Mother, you mean to assassinate His Majesty Renly?"
Madam Olenna patted Duke Mace's bald head, "Are you confused? I said His Majesty Renly might die in an accident. Who mentioned assassination? Anyway, once Renly dies, Margaery will become a widow."
Now, Duke of Metz understood Lady Olenna's hint.
"Margaery is the Pearl of High Court. After Renly's death, we can find the next king. I heard that the wolf king Eddard sits in the riverlands, the valleys and the northern territory. He holds a heavy army and will wear the crown sooner or later. His son, the young wolf Lord Robb, is brave and good at fighting. He seems to be only one or two years younger than Margaery. We might as well send an envoy to marry Stark."
Mrs. Olenna said: "Wolf King Eddard has not yet become king, let's wait until he is crowned king! The Reach must strictly maintain neutrality, and first drive Stannis out of the Reach."
"Anyway, there are plenty of kings these days, and kings are as worthless as turnips. As for which king my Margaery will marry, it depends on which king can win Rose's heart."
Duke Mace Tyrell said: "King Joffrey of King's Landing is a few years younger than Margaery. Although rumors say that Joffrey is the seed of Cersei's affair with Jaime, he still occupies the Iron Throne."
Mrs. Olenna gave her son a blank look, and said sharply: "Can you think a little bit more? The city of King's Landing is already surrounded by Stannis. I heard that people die every day in King's Landing, and Joffrey may die before Renly. There are so many people in King's Landing, it's impossible to threaten Stannis. Let the people in King's Landing be captured by the White Walkers!"
King's Landing, the bright moon shines on the streets of King's Landing.
Tyrion followed Varys to a dilapidated courtyard under the hills of Visenya. The mercenary Bronn and his servant Podrick Payne guarded Tyrion.
Everywhere in King's Landing is starving. Since King's Landing was besieged, the whole city can only rely on smugglers to get a little bit of food, and there are yellow and emaciated people and dead bodies everywhere.
The people hated Lannister, in order to prevent being recognized by the people and causing unnecessary trouble, Tyrion deliberately covered his face with a hood.
After entering the courtyard room, Varys lit tallow candles in the room, and Tyrion noticed that the room was full of people.
Varys said: "These are the knights who believe in the Seven Gods. There are seven in total. They were very indignant at the Queen Mother Cersei's burning of the Royal Sanctuary and the Godswood, so they ran to the Great Sept of Baelor and asked the Archbishop to condemn Cersei's actions, and called on the knights to kill Ogbeta."
"The archbishop has always been deaf and dumb. Since no one is fighting against Cersei, the queen, I have to organize these good knights to kill Ogbeta and save the people of Westeros and King's Landing."
These are hedge knights in battered armor, all of them sallow and emaciated.Varys has never been a follower of the Seven Gods, but he will use the belief of the Seven Gods to deal with the enemies of darkness.
In the corner of the room sat a warrior in smoke-gray armor, whom Tyrion recognized at once as Sandor Clegane the Hound by the scorched face and dog helmet under his arm.
Tyrion smirked and said, "The Hound, why don't you stay in the Red Keep and guard your master Joffrey?"
Sandor said harshly: "Ever since Joffrey's scalp was torn off by Ed's giant eagle, leaving a terrible scar, Cersei has always hated me. She sent Flame Nulustu to protect Joffrey and tell me to get out. Anyway, people in the Red Castle say that Cersei is no different from a corpse, so I don't care about serving as an errand for Cersei after the corpse."
Varys said softly: "Sandor is trapped in the city now and can't get out of the city, so I hired him to assassinate the necromancer Ogbeta for us."
Tyrion frowned, "If it was a real sword, Sandor could chop off Ogbeta's head with a single sword. However, this necromancer masters dark magic. We have all seen that he can manipulate corpses. Deathstorm and Prince Rhaegar are both Ogbeta's masterpieces. Will the necromancer be killed?"
Varys shrugged, "When I was young, I lived in Myr and Pentos, and I often came into contact with some wizards. People say that wizards use spells against warriors' swords. Their spells have a chance to control warriors, but once their heads are chopped off by warriors, wizards will die."
The hunting dog said unhappily: "What's the difference between slaughtering something like Ogbeta and killing a pig dog? You only need a sharp knife to kill him. After killing him, you have to find a way to help me out of the city. I want to leave King's Landing."
"Where are you going when you leave King's Landing?" said Tyrion.
Sandor said: "I heard that the red viper Oberyn went to the riverland to join the war, and he wants to kill my brother. In this era when the dead can walk, who knows how long my brother Gregor can live? I'm going to the west, my brother Magic Mountain, and I'm still waiting to be slaughtered!"
Hatred is the only reason for Sandor the Hound to live. Is it also the power that supports Deathstorm and Prince Rhaegar?
Tyrion said: "When I was in the Red Castle, I always wanted to understand what Cersei and Ogbetta were doing in the Red Castle. They seemed to be particularly interested in the keel left by the Targaryen family in the Red Castle."
Varys showed a sweet smile, "My little bird happened to overhear some little secrets in the secret passage. Ogbeta is trying to use the keel to resurrect the Frost Dragon."
Tyrion's eyes widened: "Resurrect the Frost Dragon?"
Since childhood, Tyrion has been obsessed with dragons. He has read every book about dragons. Tyrion is more proficient in knowledge about dragons than some bachelors.
When Tyrion first came to the Red Keep, what he loved most were the dragon skeletons hidden in the secret passages.Originally, these dragon skeletons were displayed in the Throne Hall. After Robert sat on the Iron Throne, he couldn't bear the gaze of the hollow eyes of the dragon skeletons, so he ordered all the dragon bones to be moved to the secret passage of the Red Keep.
Tyrion loved those skeletons, and sometimes he would take whores and have sex in the mouths of dragon skeletons.Tyrion was most struck by the skull of Balerion, capable of swallowing a mammoth in one gulp.
If Ogbeta revives Balerion, it will be a disaster for all living things in Westeros. 300 years ago, Aegon the Conqueror controlled the dragon Balerion and burned Harrenhal, cutting off the blood of the Hall family; in the Reach, Aegon and his sisters led the three-headed dragon to set fire to the fire, cutting off the blood of the Gardener family of the Reach King.
300 years ago, no one could fight against the dragon, only the Dornishmen shot and killed Queen Rhaenys's mount Meraxes in the Hellgate Castle. 300 years later, the chances in Westeros are even slimmer because these are resurrected frost wyrms.
The only good news is that there is only Balerion, the "Black Death" in the Red Castle, and Queen Rhaenys's dragon, Merasis, died in Dorne.
Many years later, Queen Visenia's dragon Vaghar participated in the bloody dragon dance. In the famous "Battle of God's Eye Lake", Prince Emond the "Kinslayer" controlled Vaghar to confront his uncle Prince Daemon, the "Prince of Flea Nest" who was driving the dragon Korakxiu. In the end, the two dragon knights and the dragon both fell into God's Eye Lake.
If Bellerion, Vagarhar, and Meraxes, the three most famous dragons with terrifying bodies, all have their keels in the Red Castle and are resurrected by the necromancer Ogbeta, then the chances of winning for humans are very low.
It is estimated that Ogbeta will focus on attacking those areas with dragon bones in the future. Every time a dragon bone is resurrected, it will be a frost dragon.
Tyrion was very curious. At the bottom of God's Eye Lake, there were two giant keels of Vagarhar and Kraxhu. Could this be the reason why Ed had been stockpiling heavy troops in Harrenhal?So that the necromancer cannot resurrect the dragon from the bottom of God's Eye Lake?
Or, the "Green Man" organization on Qianmian Islet, the old sacred place, is also paying attention to the giant dragon skull at the bottom of God's Eye Lake?The cold god and the old god are both gods of the north, presumably this is another contest between the gods.
Perhaps the only hope is the dragon flying wolf in Ed's hand!I heard that Ed was leading the dragon in the riverland to fight against Lannister. It was a growing dragon, far less terrifying than an adult dragon. Could it be the opponent of the Frost Dragon?
Varys produced a bag containing obsidian arrowheads and tar-soaked torches.
"According to the information given to me by the little bird, Ogbeta has been strolling on the Street of Silent Sisters every night these days. He seems to be observing the Baelor Cathedral on the mountain, or he is looking for something. He doesn't bring any guards. We have a chance to assassinate him. When Ed Wolf King was in King's Landing, he once told me that the undead are most afraid of obsidian and torches."
Tyrion frowned, "White ghosts are afraid of obsidian, and ghouls are afraid of flames. However, Deathstorm and Prince Rhaegar obviously belong to neither ghouls nor white ghosts. I think they are undead. As for Ogbetta, he is a necromancer and a wildman outside the wall. Do you think obsidian and flames can deal with Ogbetta?"
Varys said helplessly: "We must try! Once we assassinate Ogbeta, the new commander of the capital defense force, Sir Jacelyn Bywater, will help us regain control of the Red Castle."
Obviously, the eunuch lacked understanding of necromancers, and Tyrion was a little worried that the assassination would fail. Fortunately, they had the support of the capital guard.
The former commander of the City Guard, Janos Slynt, died in the King's Landing riots and his head was smashed by the mob. Tyrion and Varys promoted Sir Jacelyn Bywater, the "Iron Hand", who was a man of integrity.Sir Bywater participated in the war to put down King Balon's rebellion. He lost a palm in the war and replaced it with an iron hand.
If Ogbetta can be killed and the golden robes can be used to regain control of King's Landing and the Red Castle, Tyrion may be able to save Cersei's soul, who is obviously cursed by dark magic.
Cersei hates Tyrion, and Tyrion doesn't like his sister, but Jaime loves Cersei.Even for Jaime, Tyrion is willing to save Cersei's soul.
Once Cersei is under control, Tyrion will control King's Landing. He will clear up the walking dead in the city of King's Landing, and let the death storm Robert and the soul of Prince Rhaegar rest in peace.
At midnight, the little devil Tyrion, Varys, the Hound Sandor, the mercenary Bronn, the squire Podrick Payne, and seven knights lay in ambush in the courtyard of the Silent Nun Street.
Tyrion looked towards the street, and he noticed that there were many urns on the deserted streets, and some houses were covered with crows, making the atmosphere very strange.
The necromancer Ogbeta finally came. He was hunched over, holding a skeleton scepter in his hand, walking on the streets lined with urns on both sides.
When Ogbetta came to the middle of the street, the Hound, Tyrion, Varys, and Bronn rushed out with seven knights on horseback, surrounding Ogbetta in the middle.
Ogbetta gave Tyrion an evil smile, "Little devil, didn't you say that you want to be a devout servant of the cold god?"
Tyrion sullenly said, "Fuck you cold god, I have nothing to do with your dark god."
Varys said: "Ogbeta, the people of King's Landing are vain, greedy, and have many shortcomings, but they are living people after all. You want to turn King's Landing into a city of death. Your plot will not succeed. You destroy the Royal Sanctuary and the Godswood Forest, and blaspheme the old and new gods. These knights who believe in the Seven Gods will send you to hell together."
The Hound said harshly: "I am not a knight, but I am still willing to kill this necromancer."
Seven knights and hounds, Polonchi draws his sword.
Ogberta sneered, "The mantis caught a cicada, thinking that it could feast on a cicada, but unexpectedly, there was a oriole standing behind it!"
The skeleton scepter in the necromancer's hand emitted a bloody light, and from the urns on both sides of the road, bursts of black smoke emerged, condensing into silent sisters with weeping eyes, and skeleton warriors wielding bone shields and holding bone swords.
Tyrion and Varys were dumbfounded. Under the protection of the hounds Sandor, Bronn, and Podrick, they rushed out of the Street of the Silent Sisters. The seven knights behind them were all killed by the Silent Sisters and Skeleton Warriors.
In the sky above Riverrun City, Ed was riding a giant eagle, leading the dragon and flying wolf, and landed on the top of the city.
All the soldiers and servants in Riverrun, as well as soldiers from the North and the River in the camp outside Riverrun, were all cheering and shouting for Ed.
Robb, Duke of Hoster and Edmure welcome Ed's arrival together.
After Duke Host took the medicine Ed gave him, his body has recovered a lot, and now he can walk on crutches. Edmure also arranged for him two young attendants to take care of Duke Host day and night.
The direwolf walked on the ground at night, followed Theon, Roose Bolton and others, and arrived at Riverrun City. When Nightwalk saw Robb's wolf gray wind, he became very intimate and licked each other's hair.
Horst held Ed's hand, "Ed, you not only won my daughter Lysa back for me, but also united the North, the Valley and the Riverlands. In troubled times, as long as we are united, no enemy can do anything to us."
Ed asked about the battle situation, and Robb said: "After we started building the army camp in the Riverlands, Duke Tywin couldn't sit still. He sent the Warriors, the Devil's Mountain, Amory Loki and other mad dogs to plunder the Riverlands. The territories of the Piper Family, the Tully Family, and the Vance Family were all attacked."
"Prince Oberyn, the Red Serpent, led his Serpent Squad to hunt down the Devil's Mountain and Ser Amory Loach. The Lightning King and Soros the Red Monk focused on dealing with the Warriors. Brynden the Black Fish led cavalry, and they could kill many enemies each time. Our army has giant eagles, skinchangers, and giants to cooperate, and the enemy's looting is very limited."
Edmure said excitedly: "Ed, when are we going to directly attack the Western Region? Our army has the upper hand, so we should attack Golden Tooth City immediately."
Although my brother-in-law is over [-] years old, he still has too little combat experience. Ed said: "Golden Tooth City is Kalin Bay in the western region. Duke Tywin's main force in the western region is staying in Golden Tooth City. That is where they choose to fight. If we attack rashly, we will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. I will not be fooled."
"Edmure, I want you to focus on the household registration statistics in the Riverlands, how are you doing?"
The household registration system in the northern border has been successful, and Ed decided to extend this system to the newly conquered territory in the south. Now the valley and the river land have begun to count the household registration of residents, so that taxes and soldiers can be collected better in the future.
Edmure said: "I mobilized many monks, bachelors and the second sons of nobles to complete the work of household registration statistics. However, I am still more eager to serve in the army."
Ed patted Edmure on the shoulder, "No, you need to help me manage the territory and the army, so you don't have to worry about it."
Now the military power in the Hejian Land and the Valley is firmly in the hands of Ed. Edmure is his brother-in-law, so loyalty is not a problem, but his ability is not enough. Ed does not want to let the army be mobilized privately during the war.
Maester Wayman of Riverrun approached with a letter in his hand.
"Your Highness Wolf, a raven has come to Sea Frontier City. The ships of the Iron Islands are heading north in large numbers. Earl Jason Mallister suspects that the enemy is going to attack the northern border."
Thanks to 20210621232001411, obedience, nonsense, 20210628200442623, youhai, douxang01, laiksks, for the monthly pass, thank you for your support!
(End of this chapter)
In the camp of the Western Territory Army in Golden Tooth City, Tywin's face was ashen.
"Ed hatched two more dragons in Harrenhal? Is it true or not?"
James grimaced, "Yes, Cousin Cleo Frey received his cousin's letter. The Frey family, together with nobles from the Riverland, Valley, and the North, witnessed the birth of the magic dragon. The hatched dragon eggs in the Valley are called Eagle Eyes, and the hatched dragon eggs in the Riverlands are called Koi."
Cleo Frey's mother is Jaime's aunt Gina, and his father is Emmon Frey, the second son of Lord Walder. Therefore, Cleo Frey is half Lannister and half Frey, and has a close relationship with a bunch of Freys in the Twin River City.
The news brought by Sir Kevan was even worse. "The spies we sent to the riverlands all sent back the same news. Ed not only hatched the magic dragon Hawkeye and Koi in Harrenhal, but also the griffin. There are seven griffins in total. The monks in the riverland and the valley began to publicize that the griffin and the magic dragon are the miracles of the seven gods."
In Tywin's golden eyes, the anger was even stronger, "Griffin? Is it the kind of lion that can fly? The coat of arms of our Lannister family is a roaring lion. Could it be that next time, we will not only deal with dragons, but also deal with griffins?"
James stroked his blond hair, "I remember, the Clinton family of Griffin's Roost, the coat of arms is a griffin. This kind of creature only appears in songs and fairy tales, isn't it extinct long ago?"
Sir Kevan sneered, "What's so strange? We used to think that giants, skinchangers, giant eagles, and magic dragons were all extinct. Don't they all appear now? I heard that Ed found the griffin eggs in the valley. There have always been legends about the Griffin King in the valley."
Tywin sighed, "Giant eagles, giants, griffins, these strange threats are not as good as the magic dragon. In the past, Ed had only one magic dragon, Flying Wolf, and I dreamed of having a dragon slayer warrior to kill this magic dragon, so that we can offset Stark's advantage."
"Now, Stark has three magic dragons in his hands, how do we fight? Back then, Aegon the Conqueror took his sisters Visenia and Rhaenys, and they conquered Westeros with only three magic dragons in their hands."
James said: "Father, don't be too pessimistic. Aegon and his sisters, Vagarhar, Balerion, and Meraxes in their hands are all one of the largest dragons in the history of Westeros. The two dragons in Stark's hand are just hatched, and they are probably about the size of a hound. Only the dragon, the flying wolf hatched in Winterfell, is a little threatening."
Tywin said coldly: "Yes, Stark's dragon is a cub, but Stark now has the support of the North, the riverlands, and the valley. Stark not only has a larger territory and population than us, but also has a deadly weapon like a dragon in his hand. Why is Ed hatching a dragon as easy as hatching a chicken?"
Sir Kevan said: "I have communicated with some bachelors, and they all said that the magic has returned, and the aura has been revived, leading to the return of creatures such as dragons, griffins, and giant eagles."
Tywin stared at the map in front of him, and his eyes stayed in the mountains of the western border.
"The Lannisters are full of gold. If I had known, I should have tried to buy some dragon eggs. Do you think there will be dragon eggs in the West?"
Sir Kevan thought for a while, "Back then, members of the royal family of the Targaryen family often took magic dragons to tour the western borders, and maybe they would lay dragon eggs in the western borders. I remember that King Renrui's sister Rhaenia married Sir Andrew of the Farman family. She was bisexual and had a bunch of beautiful pets. The most favored one was Alisa Farman."
"Alyssa Farman followed Princess Rhaena to Dragonstone Island. She stole the three dragon eggs of the princess's mount, the dragon Dreamfire, and fled to sea. After escaping to Braavos, she sold the dragon eggs to the Sea King of Braavos. With the money from selling the eggs, she built a large sailing ship for herself and started her own voyage."
James smirked and said, "Uncle, are you talking about more than 100 years ago? After more than 100 years, there are still no dragons in Braavos. It seems that Alisa Farman deceived Aquaman back then. The three dragon eggs never hatched."
Sir Kevan said, "Where did the three dragon eggs go? Who can say for sure? However, there has been a rumor circulating in many ports recently, saying that Daenerys, the sister of the beggar king Viserys, hatched three dragons in the continent of Essos."
Tywin clenched his fists, "This is really a feast for dragons. Unfortunately, we are the prey of dragons. Lannister must have his own dragons. My grandsons Joffrey, Tommen, and Myrcella all have the blood of the Targaryen family. As long as dragons are hatched in the West, we have dragon knights."
James looked at Tywin with pity, and thought, "Father, those grandchildren of yours are all of mine. They have nothing to do with Robert. Naturally, they didn't inherit the blood of the Dragon King. Besides, you refused to send troops to rescue King's Landing. King's Landing fell, and your grandchildren can still survive."
Suddenly, James realized that this was a good opportunity to persuade Tywin to enter King's Landing. He said: "Father, Cersei, Tyrion, Tommen, Myrcella, and Joffrey are all in King's Landing. If you want your grandchildren to become dragon knights, you should immediately send troops to rescue King's Landing."
Tywin glared at James, as if he thought James was an idiot, "[-] riverland and northern troops have gathered in the Riverlands, and I heard that there are Canyon Knights gathering for Riverrun. If I divide my troops to rescue King's Landing, Brynden the Blackfish and Robin the Wolf Cub will definitely attack the Westlands immediately."
"How many times have I said this? I won't divide my troops to rescue King's Landing. The distance is too far and beyond reach. Cersei and Tyrion can only protect themselves. I am in King's Landing, and I have left enough gold and manpower for them. They should be content."
Sir Kevan said worriedly: "Speaking of King's Landing, some terrible rumors have spread recently, saying that King Robert has been reborn, and that Prince Rhaegar has also returned from the grave to serve Queen Cersei in King's Landing. There are still folklore that Cersei became a corpse queen and reused a necromancer to worship the terrible dark god."
Tywin said contemptuously: "This kind of nonsense must be the rumors released by Ed, Renly or Stannis. It is as shameless as they spread the affair between James and Cersei before, and it is not worth discussing at all."
James still refused to give up on rescuing King's Landing. He said, "Golden Tooth City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is enough to keep 1 people guarding the Golden Tooth Pass. The enemy cannot attack at all."
Tywin said depressedly: "If the enemy is a ground force, it is true, but don't forget that Ed has giant eagles and dragons in his hands. They can bypass the mountains and the Golden Tooth City from the air and attack the western region directly. If Ed's dragon grows up, our chances of winning will be even lower. Lannister must hatch his own dragon."
James said helplessly, "We don't even have dragon eggs."
Tywin thought for a while, "Since Alisa Farman stole Dreamfire's dragon eggs back then, and Dreamfire once lived on Fairy Island, I think there may be dragon eggs in Fairy Island. I will order Earl Farman to find dragon eggs. In addition, I will send a letter to Lannister's friends in Free Trade City to buy dragon eggs at a high price."
Sir Kevan looked at the letter in his hand, "According to the information from the Riverlands, Ed sent people to restore the Barren Stone City, and is still building Wolf Castle in Noble Heart, Ruby Beach. Ed is also relying on the Tully family's Riverrun City, the Vance Family's Alan City and Traveling Rest City, and the Piper Family's Pink City, to build military settlements, and build arrow towers and fortifications everywhere."
"The number of the Three Rivers Army in Hejian has exceeded 2. The Three Rivers Army, the Winter Wolf Army in the North, and the Young Eagle Army in the Valley have become Ed's standing army."
Tywin stared at the map, "It seems that Ed wants to develop in the river for a long time, I will not sit still, I will take the initiative to attack."
Sir Kevan frowned, "The ravens from the Iron Islands have sent news that King Balon has been crowned king and has dispatched the Iron Islands fleet to attack Wolf's Castle along the northern coast. Once the northern coast falls, Ed will mobilize troops to deal with the Iron Islands, and Riverrun's troops are bound to decline. Wouldn't it be better to attack at that time?"
Tywin tapped the map with the index finger of his right hand, "I originally planned the same way, but now, Ed sent troops to rebuild the Wasteland Stone City, and in the future, it will be the bridgehead that threatens the northern mountains of the Western Territory."
James didn't take it seriously, "The western boundary near Huangshi City is all high mountains, and the enemy can't break through."
Tywin snorted softly, "The rock species in Ed's hands, the northern mountain clans, the cave dwellers outside the Great Wall, and the nocturnal tribes are good at fighting in the mountains. Besides, even the mountain tribes in the valley have joined Ed's team. Ed has giant eagles and dragons in his hands. I want to order the lords of the western region near the deserted rock city to prepare good bows and crossbows to strengthen their defenses."
"I will send light cavalry to plunder the countryside of the riverlands as much as possible, destroy their military camps, and release the warrior group, so that Vargo Hutt, the Magic Mountain, and Amory Lodge will spread fear in the riverlands. At the same time, I will send assassins to Harrenhal to slay dragons."
James asked in astonishment, "Dragon Slaying?"
Tai Wen said: "The magic dragon has become Ed's tool to unite people's hearts. The soldiers in the valley, the north, and the riverland are all cheering for the magic dragon, and their blood is boiling. While the young dragons in Harrenhal are still young, get rid of them quickly. Otherwise, when the koi and eagle eyes grow up, the western region can only bow to the magic dragon again. The worst thing is that this time the master of the magic dragon is replaced by a direwolf."
Ser Kevan said, "Which assassin will you send to complete the plan to slay the dragon?"
Duke Tywin thought for a while, "Just send the golden girl!"
The blond, blue-eyed Golden Girl, who is almost as beautiful as Cersei, claims to be a beast tamer, but in fact, according to James' observation, the Golden Girl is more like a forest witch.She can easily charm sparrows, wild wolves and other animals, and has a male lion as a mount.
After a while, James brought the golden girl to Duke Tywin's tent. Duke Tywin said: "I plan to send you to Harrenhal to slay dragons. Whether it's poison or dark magic, you can help me kill the young eagle eye and the koi. It would be better to get rid of the seven griffin cubs by the way. After you complete the task, I will give you a lot of rewards. Do you have the confidence to complete this task?"
The golden girl is wearing a pink brocade dress, which outlines her perfect figure, and she shows a charming smile.
"Duke Tywin, griffins and dragons are miracles reborn in this world. The best way is to let me charm you with magic, and let the dragons and griffins fight for you."
Tywin's golden eyes flashed with excitement, "Can you charm the dragon?"
The golden girl said: "I have to admit that the magic dragon is different from other animals. I can try the charm dragon."
Duke Tywin said dejectedly: "Try? That means you're not sure? When you're on the battlefield, you have to avoid everything you're not sure about. Since you're not sure about Charming the Demon Dragon, then go to Harrenhal and cleanly get rid of the Demon Dragon and the Griffin for me."
The golden girl said: "Do you know why Ed chose to incubate the dragon and the griffin in Harrenhal? Because Harrenhal is next to God's Eye Lake, the Isle of Thousand Faces in the center of God's Eye Lake, and has a weirwood forest. The power of the old gods there is unprecedentedly powerful. My magic is very difficult to cast there, and it is impossible to kill the dragon and the griffin."
Tywin was very depressed, "Can I just stay here and wait for Stark's dragon to grow up?"
Sir Kevan on the side said: "Duke Tywin, according to the news sent by the spies of the Reach, Stannis defeated Renly at Bitterbridge, and Renly fled towards Highgarden. I feel that Renly's Reach empire has begun to collapse. The Tyrell family will definitely not follow the loser Renly. We can win the support of the Reach."
"With the army of the Reach, the Reach and the West will attack the Riverland together, and Harrenhal will be captured, and all the dragons will be ours."
Tywin thought for a while, "The wealth of the Reach plus the wealth of the West is far more than that of the Valley, the North, and the Riverlands. Kevan, your method may be worth trying."
The golden girl's eyes flickered, "Duke Tywin, the sparrow I sent to the Reach brought back news that Lannister is in the Reach, where powerful magic can be found. Don't forget, all the forbidden books on magic are in the school city of Old Town."
"Please send me as an envoy to Highgarden. I will definitely win the support of Tyrell and the Reach for Duke Tywin."
The Reach, Green Valley City, here is the castle of the Meidou family on the Rose Road, close to the Stormlands, so Earl Wood Meidou, under the strife of Earl Alister Florent, abandoned King Renly of Highgarden and fell to King Stannis.
The soldiers of the Meidou family and the Fossoway family played a key role in the Battle of Bitterbridge. It was the soldiers of these two Reach nobles who attacked Bitterbridge and blocked Renly's army on the east bank of the Mander River, followed by a massacre.
Then Lando Tarly, Sir Loras, Brienne and others on the river bend took back Bitterbridge and stopped Stannis's attack, but Renly's army was completely defeated that night.
During the Battle of Bitterbridge, many nobles and knights of the Reach who were loyal to Renly were captured, and Stannis ordered all these prisoners to be locked in the dungeon of Green Valley City.
Hostages are very useful bargaining chips. In the next few days, the former Prime Minister Alister Florent used some noble hostages to knock on the gates of many castles in the Reach, and successfully persuaded these nobles to abandon Renly and fall to Stannis.
These include Lord Titus Peake of Starscrew, whose sigil is three castles on an orange field; and Lord Orton Marilyways of the Long Table Hall, whose sigil is a golden horn of abundance overflowing with carrots, apples, leeks, turnips, and colorful fruits.
The Peake family used to be one of the most powerful nobles in the Reach. Their ancestor was the husband of "Fox" Flores. The Peake family in its heyday owned the three castles of Star Shuttle City, White Garden City and Dustonbury.
Among them, Dustonbury was originally the castle of the Mandalay family. More than 1000 years ago, the Mandalay family in the Mande River Basin was so powerful that it had already influenced the gardener king who ruled the Reach at that time.
In return, the Gardener family rewarded Dustonbury to the Peake family, and the Peake family owned Star Shuttle City, White Garden City, and Dustonbury castles at once, and they were the only ones in the wealthy Reach.
The Mandalay family who lost their home had no choice but to start a tragic exile career. They wandered around the Seven Kingdoms. About 900 years ago, the Mandalay family came to the North and was accepted by the Stark family, the king of the North.
The Stark family entrusted the Mandalay family to the wolf's lair at the mouth of the White Knife River to resist the invasion of the sister pirates and the king of the valley.
Over the ensuing centuries, the Manderlys used their wealth in the Reach to help Wolf's Den develop into a city.
The Peake family, who drove away the Mandalay family, had been prosperous for hundreds of years during the Gardener King period. The Peake family, which held three castles, frequently intermarried with the Gardener family, Hightower family, Florent family and other Reach families.
However, Aegon the Conqueror severed the bloodline of the Gardener family of the Reach King in the battle of "Raging Fire". The Reach and Highgarden fell into the hands of the "mere stewards" the Tyrell family.
During the period of Daeron II, Earl Gormon Peake supported Damon Blackfyre's rebellion. After the Blackfyre rebellion was suppressed, the three castles of the Peake family, Dustonbury and White Garden City, were taken away by the Iron Throne, leaving only Star Shuttle City.
In the hall of Green Valley City, Davos, the onion knight, and Melisandre, the red-robed woman, stood beside Stannis, watching Earl Titus Peake of Star Shuttle City and Orton Merryweather of Long Table Hall swear allegiance to Stannis.
Among the well-dressed nobles of the Reach and the Stormlands, Stannis looked very modest, always in woolen coat and breeches.
Earl Titus Peake said: "Your Majesty, the Peake family will follow Your Majesty to fight against all rebellion. After the war, the Peake family hopes that Your Majesty can return Dustonbury and White Garden City to the Peake family. That was originally the castle of the Peake family."
Earl Orton Merryweather said: "Our Merryweather family in the Long Table Hall will fight against those traitors who support Renly. Our family was deprived of many fiefdoms during the time of Mad King Aerys. I hope His Majesty will return those fiefdoms to us after the war is over."
Stannis's jaw tightened. "You promised to help me fight the traitor, but remember, you followed Renly yesterday. Prove your loyalty first!"
The Onion Knight noticed that Lord Peake and Lord Marilyweather looked confused, that Renly was always polite and smiling, and that Stannis was always too harsh.
Stannis immediately waved his hand to signal for everyone to back down, so Lord Alister Florent led the nobles of the Reach and the Stormlands out of the hall.
Only the Onion Knight remained in the hall, and Melisandre, the red-robed woman, accompanied the king.
Stannis began to grind his teeth, "These are the nobles of the Reach that Lord Alister Florent won back for me. In my opinion, they are nothing more than fluff!"
The Onion Knight said: "Your Majesty, they have a chance to prove their loyalty. In any case, winning the support of several Reach nobles is a victory for Your Majesty, and Renly's supporters will become fewer and fewer."
Stannis said: "Lord Peake is eager to restore the castle. If I can't satisfy him, he may go to Joffrey and join the Lannisters. Lord Peake's wife is a Lannister, from the Lannister line; as for Orton Merryweather, his wife is from Myr, and they are said to be an ambitious woman."
"Ser Jon Fossoway, who abandoned Renly and surrendered to me before, is married to Jayna Tyrell, the sister of the Duke of Mace. It stands to reason that Sir Jon Fossoway should face Highgarden and swear allegiance to Renly to the death. However, when the army of the Stormlands approached, Sir Jon Fossoway defected along with the Fossoway family."
The Onion Knight said: "I heard that the Duke of Metz asked his second son, Garland, to take over Brightwater City. The wife of Earl Garland is also from the Fossoway family."
Stannis said depressedly: "You're right. You see, the nobles of the Reach who have taken refuge in me are almost all relatives to my enemies. They are deeply intertwined, thinking that they can resist the king's orders by joining forces. To a certain extent, they are right. After all, the king cannot eradicate these nobles."
Melisandre said indifferently: "Your Majesty, Renly is no longer a threat to you. I have already foreseen Renly's demise in the sacred fire. Soon, the nobles of the Reach will abandon him."
"Your Majesty should be wary of the enemies of King's Landing. I saw in the holy fire that a storm of death is brewing and may sweep across the land at any time."
The Reach, Highgarden, Lady Olenna, the Queen of Thorns, came to the castle hall with the help of her guards' left and right hands.
In the luxurious high court, the hall is covered with Myrish carpets, and the murals of Gals the Greenhand hang on the walls.
Lord Mace Tyrell sat angrily on an oaken chair in the hall, clutching a crumpled letter in his hand.Ser Loras stood aside in rose armor, and Olenna asked her grandson Loras, "Where is Lord Renly?"
There was a flash of sadness in Loras' eyes, "Your Majesty is very sad. He has nightmares every day. Apart from drinking, he sleeps every day. Neither I nor Margaery can comfort Your Majesty."
Mrs. Olenna said unhappily: "Of course you will have nightmares when you sleep in broad daylight. Renly is not ready to be king at all. He lost to Lannister at Crake Hall in the Westlands, and was beaten to death by Stannis at Bitterbridge."
Loras said angrily, "Grandmother, I don't allow you to say that about His Majesty Renly. He was in charge of the army and almost died on the battlefield. At that time, Brienne, Your Majesty, and I were crowded together in the boat. Many of His Majesty's personal soldiers and attendants were scrambling to get on the boat. The boat almost capsized. In desperation, I swung my sword and killed many attendants."
"Aides like Joseph, Donald, Barack, George, and Bill, these servants, personal soldiers, serve around Renly every day. Renly saw me hacking them to death with his own eyes, and he felt heartbroken. This proves that he is a kind-hearted person, doesn't it?"
Lady Olenna smiled through her toothless mouth, and she put her hands on Loras' shoulders to comfort him, "Loras, don't get excited. Go and protect your king! Your Majesty Renly needs you."
Sir Loras left angrily. The smile on Lady Olenna's face disappeared. She turned to Duke Mace, "His Majesty Renly always smiles and thinks he is attractive, but he is not suitable to be a king. He knows nothing about governing the country, marching and fighting. He only hangs out with a group of handsome attendants all day long. Such a person cannot dominate Westeros in troubled times."
Lord Mace Tyrell clutched the letter in his hand tightly, "Mother, maybe you are right. After Renly's fiasco at Bitterbridge, the Peck family in Starstrip City and the Merryweather family in the Chart Table Hall all fell to Stannis. The nobles at the border between the Reach and the Stormlands are at risk of defecting. It was the traitor Alister Florent who persuaded these families to surrender to Stannis."
Mrs. Olenna's face was gloomy, "Renly's territory in the Reach is getting smaller and smaller, and more and more castles and lords are switching to Stannis. I heard that Stannis will reward Florent with Highgarden after he conquers the Reach, and let the Florens family become the governor of the Reach and the guardians of the southern border."
After Earl Alister Florent brought his family and the Eastern Army of the Reach to Stannis, Renly deprived the Florent family's castle of Brightwater, and transferred the Florent family's castle and fiefdom to Garland, the second son of Duke Mace Tyrell. Garland became the number one nobleman in the Seven Kingdoms.
The Tyrell family's fief expanded a lot, but in the end, Florent actually wanted to take Highgarden away.
Lord Mace Tyrell had a bitter face, "I heard that Stannis is determined to attack the Reach. He has always hated me and Lord Paxter Redwyne for besieging Storm's End."
Mrs. Olenna's family is from the Redwyne family on Arbor Island, and Earl Paxter Redwyne is her nephew. She quickly said: "Earl Paxter is taking the Arbor Island fleet to attack the Stormlands. Now we are in a land battle in the Reach, and the Arbor Island fleet is meaningless to attack the Stormlands. I feel that it is meaningless to send a raven to send a letter to Earl Paxter, so that he can return with the fleet."
Mace Tyrell nodded like a goose. "I'll tell the maester to do it right away."
Olenna said depressedly: "Back then, when Renly married Margaery in Highgarden and was crowned king, he boasted that he could bring Tyrell's first queen and bring Tyrell more territory and wealth. What happened? The army of the Reach, led by Renly, was defeated repeatedly, and Tyrell's vassals fell to Stannis one after another."
"Thanks to Lord Randyll Tarly, who led his troops to guard the Bitterbridge, otherwise, there would be more nobles from the Reach to seek refuge with Stannis."
"Someone has to tell Renly that his dream of being a king has been completely shattered, and that House Tyrell can't continue to follow such a loser as him."
Duke Mace Tyrell's eyes widened. "However, our Margaery is married to Renly. I want my daughter to be the queen. Only Margaery becomes the queen, the king who gave birth to the Tyrell blood, and no one in the Reach dares to mock the Tyrell housekeeper's blood."
Mrs. Olenna said disdainfully: "I heard that King Balon was crowned king in the Iron Islands, but I don't understand it. In the Iron Islands, where the birds don't shit, there will be people who will become kings themselves. These days, there are too many kings. You don't have to be Renly if you want Margaery to be queen."
"Her Majesty Renly is overwhelmed with grief now, and he drinks every day. No one will be surprised if His Majesty dies on a feather bed because of grief and alcoholism."
Duke Mace rubbed his heart, "Mother, you mean to assassinate His Majesty Renly?"
Madam Olenna patted Duke Mace's bald head, "Are you confused? I said His Majesty Renly might die in an accident. Who mentioned assassination? Anyway, once Renly dies, Margaery will become a widow."
Now, Duke of Metz understood Lady Olenna's hint.
"Margaery is the Pearl of High Court. After Renly's death, we can find the next king. I heard that the wolf king Eddard sits in the riverlands, the valleys and the northern territory. He holds a heavy army and will wear the crown sooner or later. His son, the young wolf Lord Robb, is brave and good at fighting. He seems to be only one or two years younger than Margaery. We might as well send an envoy to marry Stark."
Mrs. Olenna said: "Wolf King Eddard has not yet become king, let's wait until he is crowned king! The Reach must strictly maintain neutrality, and first drive Stannis out of the Reach."
"Anyway, there are plenty of kings these days, and kings are as worthless as turnips. As for which king my Margaery will marry, it depends on which king can win Rose's heart."
Duke Mace Tyrell said: "King Joffrey of King's Landing is a few years younger than Margaery. Although rumors say that Joffrey is the seed of Cersei's affair with Jaime, he still occupies the Iron Throne."
Mrs. Olenna gave her son a blank look, and said sharply: "Can you think a little bit more? The city of King's Landing is already surrounded by Stannis. I heard that people die every day in King's Landing, and Joffrey may die before Renly. There are so many people in King's Landing, it's impossible to threaten Stannis. Let the people in King's Landing be captured by the White Walkers!"
King's Landing, the bright moon shines on the streets of King's Landing.
Tyrion followed Varys to a dilapidated courtyard under the hills of Visenya. The mercenary Bronn and his servant Podrick Payne guarded Tyrion.
Everywhere in King's Landing is starving. Since King's Landing was besieged, the whole city can only rely on smugglers to get a little bit of food, and there are yellow and emaciated people and dead bodies everywhere.
The people hated Lannister, in order to prevent being recognized by the people and causing unnecessary trouble, Tyrion deliberately covered his face with a hood.
After entering the courtyard room, Varys lit tallow candles in the room, and Tyrion noticed that the room was full of people.
Varys said: "These are the knights who believe in the Seven Gods. There are seven in total. They were very indignant at the Queen Mother Cersei's burning of the Royal Sanctuary and the Godswood, so they ran to the Great Sept of Baelor and asked the Archbishop to condemn Cersei's actions, and called on the knights to kill Ogbeta."
"The archbishop has always been deaf and dumb. Since no one is fighting against Cersei, the queen, I have to organize these good knights to kill Ogbeta and save the people of Westeros and King's Landing."
These are hedge knights in battered armor, all of them sallow and emaciated.Varys has never been a follower of the Seven Gods, but he will use the belief of the Seven Gods to deal with the enemies of darkness.
In the corner of the room sat a warrior in smoke-gray armor, whom Tyrion recognized at once as Sandor Clegane the Hound by the scorched face and dog helmet under his arm.
Tyrion smirked and said, "The Hound, why don't you stay in the Red Keep and guard your master Joffrey?"
Sandor said harshly: "Ever since Joffrey's scalp was torn off by Ed's giant eagle, leaving a terrible scar, Cersei has always hated me. She sent Flame Nulustu to protect Joffrey and tell me to get out. Anyway, people in the Red Castle say that Cersei is no different from a corpse, so I don't care about serving as an errand for Cersei after the corpse."
Varys said softly: "Sandor is trapped in the city now and can't get out of the city, so I hired him to assassinate the necromancer Ogbeta for us."
Tyrion frowned, "If it was a real sword, Sandor could chop off Ogbeta's head with a single sword. However, this necromancer masters dark magic. We have all seen that he can manipulate corpses. Deathstorm and Prince Rhaegar are both Ogbeta's masterpieces. Will the necromancer be killed?"
Varys shrugged, "When I was young, I lived in Myr and Pentos, and I often came into contact with some wizards. People say that wizards use spells against warriors' swords. Their spells have a chance to control warriors, but once their heads are chopped off by warriors, wizards will die."
The hunting dog said unhappily: "What's the difference between slaughtering something like Ogbeta and killing a pig dog? You only need a sharp knife to kill him. After killing him, you have to find a way to help me out of the city. I want to leave King's Landing."
"Where are you going when you leave King's Landing?" said Tyrion.
Sandor said: "I heard that the red viper Oberyn went to the riverland to join the war, and he wants to kill my brother. In this era when the dead can walk, who knows how long my brother Gregor can live? I'm going to the west, my brother Magic Mountain, and I'm still waiting to be slaughtered!"
Hatred is the only reason for Sandor the Hound to live. Is it also the power that supports Deathstorm and Prince Rhaegar?
Tyrion said: "When I was in the Red Castle, I always wanted to understand what Cersei and Ogbetta were doing in the Red Castle. They seemed to be particularly interested in the keel left by the Targaryen family in the Red Castle."
Varys showed a sweet smile, "My little bird happened to overhear some little secrets in the secret passage. Ogbeta is trying to use the keel to resurrect the Frost Dragon."
Tyrion's eyes widened: "Resurrect the Frost Dragon?"
Since childhood, Tyrion has been obsessed with dragons. He has read every book about dragons. Tyrion is more proficient in knowledge about dragons than some bachelors.
When Tyrion first came to the Red Keep, what he loved most were the dragon skeletons hidden in the secret passages.Originally, these dragon skeletons were displayed in the Throne Hall. After Robert sat on the Iron Throne, he couldn't bear the gaze of the hollow eyes of the dragon skeletons, so he ordered all the dragon bones to be moved to the secret passage of the Red Keep.
Tyrion loved those skeletons, and sometimes he would take whores and have sex in the mouths of dragon skeletons.Tyrion was most struck by the skull of Balerion, capable of swallowing a mammoth in one gulp.
If Ogbeta revives Balerion, it will be a disaster for all living things in Westeros. 300 years ago, Aegon the Conqueror controlled the dragon Balerion and burned Harrenhal, cutting off the blood of the Hall family; in the Reach, Aegon and his sisters led the three-headed dragon to set fire to the fire, cutting off the blood of the Gardener family of the Reach King.
300 years ago, no one could fight against the dragon, only the Dornishmen shot and killed Queen Rhaenys's mount Meraxes in the Hellgate Castle. 300 years later, the chances in Westeros are even slimmer because these are resurrected frost wyrms.
The only good news is that there is only Balerion, the "Black Death" in the Red Castle, and Queen Rhaenys's dragon, Merasis, died in Dorne.
Many years later, Queen Visenia's dragon Vaghar participated in the bloody dragon dance. In the famous "Battle of God's Eye Lake", Prince Emond the "Kinslayer" controlled Vaghar to confront his uncle Prince Daemon, the "Prince of Flea Nest" who was driving the dragon Korakxiu. In the end, the two dragon knights and the dragon both fell into God's Eye Lake.
If Bellerion, Vagarhar, and Meraxes, the three most famous dragons with terrifying bodies, all have their keels in the Red Castle and are resurrected by the necromancer Ogbeta, then the chances of winning for humans are very low.
It is estimated that Ogbeta will focus on attacking those areas with dragon bones in the future. Every time a dragon bone is resurrected, it will be a frost dragon.
Tyrion was very curious. At the bottom of God's Eye Lake, there were two giant keels of Vagarhar and Kraxhu. Could this be the reason why Ed had been stockpiling heavy troops in Harrenhal?So that the necromancer cannot resurrect the dragon from the bottom of God's Eye Lake?
Or, the "Green Man" organization on Qianmian Islet, the old sacred place, is also paying attention to the giant dragon skull at the bottom of God's Eye Lake?The cold god and the old god are both gods of the north, presumably this is another contest between the gods.
Perhaps the only hope is the dragon flying wolf in Ed's hand!I heard that Ed was leading the dragon in the riverland to fight against Lannister. It was a growing dragon, far less terrifying than an adult dragon. Could it be the opponent of the Frost Dragon?
Varys produced a bag containing obsidian arrowheads and tar-soaked torches.
"According to the information given to me by the little bird, Ogbeta has been strolling on the Street of Silent Sisters every night these days. He seems to be observing the Baelor Cathedral on the mountain, or he is looking for something. He doesn't bring any guards. We have a chance to assassinate him. When Ed Wolf King was in King's Landing, he once told me that the undead are most afraid of obsidian and torches."
Tyrion frowned, "White ghosts are afraid of obsidian, and ghouls are afraid of flames. However, Deathstorm and Prince Rhaegar obviously belong to neither ghouls nor white ghosts. I think they are undead. As for Ogbetta, he is a necromancer and a wildman outside the wall. Do you think obsidian and flames can deal with Ogbetta?"
Varys said helplessly: "We must try! Once we assassinate Ogbeta, the new commander of the capital defense force, Sir Jacelyn Bywater, will help us regain control of the Red Castle."
Obviously, the eunuch lacked understanding of necromancers, and Tyrion was a little worried that the assassination would fail. Fortunately, they had the support of the capital guard.
The former commander of the City Guard, Janos Slynt, died in the King's Landing riots and his head was smashed by the mob. Tyrion and Varys promoted Sir Jacelyn Bywater, the "Iron Hand", who was a man of integrity.Sir Bywater participated in the war to put down King Balon's rebellion. He lost a palm in the war and replaced it with an iron hand.
If Ogbetta can be killed and the golden robes can be used to regain control of King's Landing and the Red Castle, Tyrion may be able to save Cersei's soul, who is obviously cursed by dark magic.
Cersei hates Tyrion, and Tyrion doesn't like his sister, but Jaime loves Cersei.Even for Jaime, Tyrion is willing to save Cersei's soul.
Once Cersei is under control, Tyrion will control King's Landing. He will clear up the walking dead in the city of King's Landing, and let the death storm Robert and the soul of Prince Rhaegar rest in peace.
At midnight, the little devil Tyrion, Varys, the Hound Sandor, the mercenary Bronn, the squire Podrick Payne, and seven knights lay in ambush in the courtyard of the Silent Nun Street.
Tyrion looked towards the street, and he noticed that there were many urns on the deserted streets, and some houses were covered with crows, making the atmosphere very strange.
The necromancer Ogbeta finally came. He was hunched over, holding a skeleton scepter in his hand, walking on the streets lined with urns on both sides.
When Ogbetta came to the middle of the street, the Hound, Tyrion, Varys, and Bronn rushed out with seven knights on horseback, surrounding Ogbetta in the middle.
Ogbetta gave Tyrion an evil smile, "Little devil, didn't you say that you want to be a devout servant of the cold god?"
Tyrion sullenly said, "Fuck you cold god, I have nothing to do with your dark god."
Varys said: "Ogbeta, the people of King's Landing are vain, greedy, and have many shortcomings, but they are living people after all. You want to turn King's Landing into a city of death. Your plot will not succeed. You destroy the Royal Sanctuary and the Godswood Forest, and blaspheme the old and new gods. These knights who believe in the Seven Gods will send you to hell together."
The Hound said harshly: "I am not a knight, but I am still willing to kill this necromancer."
Seven knights and hounds, Polonchi draws his sword.
Ogberta sneered, "The mantis caught a cicada, thinking that it could feast on a cicada, but unexpectedly, there was a oriole standing behind it!"
The skeleton scepter in the necromancer's hand emitted a bloody light, and from the urns on both sides of the road, bursts of black smoke emerged, condensing into silent sisters with weeping eyes, and skeleton warriors wielding bone shields and holding bone swords.
Tyrion and Varys were dumbfounded. Under the protection of the hounds Sandor, Bronn, and Podrick, they rushed out of the Street of the Silent Sisters. The seven knights behind them were all killed by the Silent Sisters and Skeleton Warriors.
In the sky above Riverrun City, Ed was riding a giant eagle, leading the dragon and flying wolf, and landed on the top of the city.
All the soldiers and servants in Riverrun, as well as soldiers from the North and the River in the camp outside Riverrun, were all cheering and shouting for Ed.
Robb, Duke of Hoster and Edmure welcome Ed's arrival together.
After Duke Host took the medicine Ed gave him, his body has recovered a lot, and now he can walk on crutches. Edmure also arranged for him two young attendants to take care of Duke Host day and night.
The direwolf walked on the ground at night, followed Theon, Roose Bolton and others, and arrived at Riverrun City. When Nightwalk saw Robb's wolf gray wind, he became very intimate and licked each other's hair.
Horst held Ed's hand, "Ed, you not only won my daughter Lysa back for me, but also united the North, the Valley and the Riverlands. In troubled times, as long as we are united, no enemy can do anything to us."
Ed asked about the battle situation, and Robb said: "After we started building the army camp in the Riverlands, Duke Tywin couldn't sit still. He sent the Warriors, the Devil's Mountain, Amory Loki and other mad dogs to plunder the Riverlands. The territories of the Piper Family, the Tully Family, and the Vance Family were all attacked."
"Prince Oberyn, the Red Serpent, led his Serpent Squad to hunt down the Devil's Mountain and Ser Amory Loach. The Lightning King and Soros the Red Monk focused on dealing with the Warriors. Brynden the Black Fish led cavalry, and they could kill many enemies each time. Our army has giant eagles, skinchangers, and giants to cooperate, and the enemy's looting is very limited."
Edmure said excitedly: "Ed, when are we going to directly attack the Western Region? Our army has the upper hand, so we should attack Golden Tooth City immediately."
Although my brother-in-law is over [-] years old, he still has too little combat experience. Ed said: "Golden Tooth City is Kalin Bay in the western region. Duke Tywin's main force in the western region is staying in Golden Tooth City. That is where they choose to fight. If we attack rashly, we will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. I will not be fooled."
"Edmure, I want you to focus on the household registration statistics in the Riverlands, how are you doing?"
The household registration system in the northern border has been successful, and Ed decided to extend this system to the newly conquered territory in the south. Now the valley and the river land have begun to count the household registration of residents, so that taxes and soldiers can be collected better in the future.
Edmure said: "I mobilized many monks, bachelors and the second sons of nobles to complete the work of household registration statistics. However, I am still more eager to serve in the army."
Ed patted Edmure on the shoulder, "No, you need to help me manage the territory and the army, so you don't have to worry about it."
Now the military power in the Hejian Land and the Valley is firmly in the hands of Ed. Edmure is his brother-in-law, so loyalty is not a problem, but his ability is not enough. Ed does not want to let the army be mobilized privately during the war.
Maester Wayman of Riverrun approached with a letter in his hand.
"Your Highness Wolf, a raven has come to Sea Frontier City. The ships of the Iron Islands are heading north in large numbers. Earl Jason Mallister suspects that the enemy is going to attack the northern border."
