Game of Thrones: Kings in the North

Chapter 226 Horse King Sleeping Dragon Rebirth, Wolf King and Dragon Mother Form an Alliance

The fleet of Daenerys, Mother of Dragons, sailed into Duskendale Town.

Ser Jorah Mormont, Daario, the leader of the Stormcrows, guarded Daenerys' side. Daenerys was holding an urn in her arms, and inside was her second brother Viserys. The ashes of her husband, Khal Drogo.

Daenerys felt the breeze on her cheek.

"This is the Westeros that Viserys has longed for all his life. Our land, the Seven Kingdoms. Viserys has been wandering all his life. Today, I can finally take him home."

"And my husband Khal Drogo, if they live, they will surely sweep Westeros with the Dothraki cavalry."

Ser Jorah Mormont was a little uneasy.

"The necromancer in King's Landing can use urns to resurrect the dead and create ghouls. If the necromancer resurrects Viserys and Khal Drogo, it will be troublesome."

Daenerys hugged the urn tightly, "I will never let the necromancer disturb the rest of Khal Drogo and Viserys."

However, a part of Daenerys longed to see Khal Drogo, Viserys, again.If they become undead.
Drogon the dragon, Viserion, Rhaegal, fly over the walls of Duskendale.

Duskendale Town originally belonged to Stannis, but now, it has become a land without owner.A few days ago, Duskvale Town was attacked by the frost dragon Vermythor. The commander of Duskvale City, Roland Storm, took the few defenders and residents in the city and fled by boat. Stone Island, therefore, Daenerys' army, easily captured the empty town.

Daenerys' army includes ten thousand Unsullied Legion, thousands of Dothraki cavalry and troops, tens of thousands of Free Brotherhood, thousands of Beast Face Army composed of Meereenese, more than 1 Golden Corps mercenaries, And more than 1000 members of the Stormcrows and the Second Sons.

When setting off from Volantis, Daenerys's men had been arguing about where to land.

Prince Quentin of Dorne asked Daenerys to land in Dorne, because Dorne was the perfect base, and after Daenerys' army arrived in Dorne, they could join forces with Dorne and directly march north.

Jon Connington once served as the former Prime Minister of King Aerys and a close friend of Prince Rhaegar. In order to win over Jon Connington, Daenerys appointed Jon Connington as her former Prime Minister, Hand of the Queen.Jon Connington strongly suggested that Tarth, Ismond Island, Griffin's Nest and other places occupying the Stormland should wait for an opportunity to seize Storm's End as a base.

However, this proposal of the Griffon Prime Minister was opposed by the Quai Lizard wearing a red lacquer mask and the red monk "Black Flame" Marqoro, on the grounds that these sites were all in the hands of Stannis.

Quai Li said: "Stannis, like the Mother of Dragons, is a servant of the Lord of Light. Besides, Stannis is fighting against the undead army in King's Landing. Attacking human friendly forces will be hostile by the people of Westeros."

The dark-skinned Midsummer Islander "Black Flame" Marquilo added: "I saw in the holy fire with the Quail Lizard that Stannis summoned the Balrog. Storm's End will never be captured."

Prince Aegon of Bron suggested taking Dragonstone directly.

"We have the magic dragon. As long as we take down Dragonstone Island, we can directly reproduce the journey of Aegon's conquest of Westeros."

Prince Aegon's opinion exposed his ignorance, and even Varys was against him.

"Your Highness, the situation in Westeros today is very different from what it was 300 years ago. Among other things, 300 years ago, the mouth of the Blackwater River was just a small fishing village, but now stands the largest city in Westeros. Worst of all, King's Landing is now the city of the dead, and the number of frost dragons in Cersei's hands is more than our dragons."

"When Aegon conquered, Aegon the Conqueror owned the only three dragons in the world. Now, Ed the wolf king has a dragon, a giant eagle, and a griffin, and Cersei, the queen of the corpse, has a frost dragon and a giant bat. , the undead army, Stannis has the Balrog."

After sailing all the way, Daenerys became more and more sure that Prince Aegon was a fake. Daenerys's dragon didn't like Aegon. On several occasions, the dragon set fire to Prince Aegon's cloak on board. , and Prince Aegon rolled and crawled in terror, tears streaming down his face.

Prince Aegon wasn't a dragon at all, and if he were, he would be more beloved by dragons.

On the voyage, on the ship "Aegon the Conqueror", Prince Aegon and Prince Quentin of Dorne competed to pursue Daenerys.

Prince Bron and Prince Dorne are both older than Daenerys, but Daenerys has been the wife of the horse king and a widow. She once led the dilapidated Dothraki tribe across the red wasteland, relying on Machinations have won the Unsullied, leaving behind a string of smoldering cities in Slaver's Bay.

Prince Aegon and Prince Quentin are both too young compared to Daenerys, and Daenerys knows that Prince Quentyn pursued her out of duty rather than desire, and Prince Aegon pursued her more like Instigated by Varys and Illyrio.

When the fleet of Daenerys' army arrived in Rees, Prince Quentin of Dorne, with his knights and nobles, bid farewell to Daenerys, and they returned to Dorne by boat in Rees. At this time, Prince Quentyn has returned to Sunspear, and together with Prince Doran, is preparing for the expedition.

When they met for the first time in Volantis, Prince Aegon got the support of the Golden Company. Now, Daenerys has easily won the support of the Golden Company. After all, Daenerys has the dragon in her hand. He is also very generous to mercenaries.

Many of the soldiers and commanders of the Golden Regiment are descendants of Westeros nobles who were exiled to the Narrow Sea. Therefore, the Golden Regiment is different from the general mercenary regiment. land with castle.

On the ship, the commander of the Golden Regiment spent time with Daenerys and Prince Aegon. They soon discovered that Prince Aegon would only talk big, while Queen Daenerys, who once conquered Slaver Bay and liberated countless slaves, was obviously more sympathetic. Has the demeanor of a king.

The Stormlands, Dorne, and the King's Land are all potential landing sites. In the end, after careful consideration, Daenerys chose Duskendale Town as the landing site for the army.

Duskvale Town is the largest town in the king's land. According to Varys' information, Duskendale Town is empty of guards, and Stannis has no intention of defending this seaside town.

Daenerys stationed troops in Duskendale Town, so she could directly send troops to attack Joffrey, the tyrant occupying the Iron Throne, and Cersei, the queen of the corpse. There is another important reason, Prince Rhaegar is near Duskendale Town.

The legendary Prince Rhaegar, even though he has become a death knight now, Daenerys still wants to see Prince Rhaegar, the brother she has never met.

After the army arrived in Dusk Valley Town, Griffin Prime Minister Jon Connington immediately arranged for soldiers from the Golden Regiment to occupy the city wall and repair the damaged city gate.

Daenerys' bloodriders, Aggo, Jogo, and Rakharo, drove all the horses into the stables, and the soldiers of the Free Brotherhood moved all the food and grass into the houses in the town. , Sir Jorah, Dario and others, stationed in Brown Castle.

Sir Jorah was very excited to return to Westeros, and he immediately told Daenerys the history of Duskendale Town.

"Today, the lord of Duskendale Town is Earl Lake, but in the past thousands of years, the lord here has always been the Ducklin family. The castle imprisoned King Aerys, and the Darklin family was exterminated, and the land and castle were transferred to the Lake family."

Daenerys did not expect that when she returned to Westeros, the first castle she stayed in had imprisoned her father.

"Why did Earl Ducklin start the rebellion?"

Sir Jorah said: "It is said that Earl Ducklin hoped that the Iron Throne could reduce taxes in Duskendale Town, and recognize Duskendale Town's city charter, so that Duskendale Town can gain more autonomy, so that Duskendale Town can Competing with King's Landing, King Aerys rebuffing Lord Darklyn, and Duskendale refusing to pay its taxes."

"King Aerys was furious. He brought a Kingsguard and a small number of guards and arrived in Duskendale to solve the problem himself, but was imprisoned by Earl Ducklin. The then prime minister, Duke Tywin, immediately summoned an army and surrounded Duskendale. , Earl Ducklyn threatened that once the army of the kingdom attacked Duskendale Town, he would immediately execute the king."

"If Ser Barristan, the 'fearless', had not, alone, rescued King Aerys, King Aerys might well have died in this castle beneath our feet."

Afterwards, Daenerys held a battle council at Brown Castle.

Sir Jorah spread out a map, and Varys said: "Wolf King Ed is stationed at Harrenhal. It is estimated that the strength of Harrenhal exceeds 5. In addition, Maidenquan Town, the town of Earl Harroway, and the area around Stone Hall Town also have heavily guarded."

"According to the intelligence, Ed Wolf King invented the cannon, which is amazingly powerful. The gadgets used by alchemists to make fireworks turned into murder weapons in the hands of Ed Wolf King. It is said that relying on the magic dragon and the artillery, Harrenhal repelled against the attack of the Frost Dragon."

"Wolf King Ed owns the north, the west, the riverlands and the valleys. There is no doubt that he is the most powerful existence in Westeros."

"King's Landing, the city of the undead, has resurrected the frost dragon Meraxes. The strength of Cersei behind the corpse is unpredictable. As long as there are corpses and graves, necromancers can always create undead."

Griffon Prime Minister Jon Connington frowned and said: "Your Majesty, Duskendale Town may be attacked by undead at any time, and Stannis may attack us from the sea. If Wolf King Ed sends an army to attack, how can Duskendale Town's city walls resist it? Where are the wolf king's dragons, giants and cannons?"

Daenerys said indifferently: "We have a magic dragon, and the magic dragon is our city wall."

Sir Jorah said: "It's a pity that the wolf king Ed also has a dragon in his hand, and Cersei has more and more frost dragons in his hand."

Varys said: "Your Majesty, Stannis and Eddard, the wolf king, are at least alive and fighting for humans. Cersei and Lannister have fallen to the company of the undead."

"Murkendale Town is very close to Harrenhal. Wolf King Ed is in Harrenhal. He is a man with a sense of honor. Why don't we send envoys to form an alliance with Wolf King Ed to deal with the undead in King's Landing?"

Daenerys said sullenly: "Ed is just the lackey of the Slayer, how could the real dragon form an alliance with the lackey of the Snatcher?"

Varys pondered for a while, "Your Majesty, in fact, there was a reason why Ed the wolf king followed Robert to rebel. Back then, King Aerys ordered the pyromancer to roast Ed's father, Duke Rickard, over a low fire in the throne room. Forcing Ed's big brother Brandon to watch the whole thing."

"At that time, Brandon had a special device on his neck. To save his father, he had to move forward. Every step he moved, his neck would become tighter and tighter. In the end, Brandon was strangled to death. Even I couldn't save my father."

Daenerys was shocked, she pondered for a while, "Could this be a lie fabricated by the snatcher to slander my father?"

Varys sighed, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I was the chief intelligence officer back then, and I witnessed the whole process in the dark. It's true."

Daenerys looked at Ser Jorah, and Ser Jorah nodded, "Your Majesty, Aerys did brutally execute Duke Rickard and Brandon back then. This is known to all women and children in Westeros."

For a long time, Daenerys has firmly believed that all the atrocities committed by the mad king Aerys are lies fabricated by the snatchers in order to legitimize the rebellion. However, after arriving in Westeros, Daenerys had to face the bloody The truth is that the Mad King Aerys has indeed committed many appalling evils.

Griffin Prime Minister Jon Connington said: "Your Majesty, King Aerys became more and more crazy in the last few years of his reign. If he died in Duskendale and Prince Rhaegar was crowned king, the history of Westeros will be rewritten."

"Now, Prince Rhaegar was resurrected by a necromancer and became a death knight. All of this was caused by Lannister and the queen Cersei. Lannister is still in King's Landing to blaspheme the Seven Gods and kill the followers of the Seven Gods. God and man are all angry."

"Since we chose to land in Duskendale Town, we should attack King's Landing first. I hate Eddard the wolf king, and Stannis. They are all lackeys of the Reaver. However, the road to conquest must learn to compromise with the enemy and fight with the enemy." Ed the wolf king and Stannis form an alliance to defeat the undead, which is the best choice."

Daenerys pondered for a while, "Let me think about it for a few days. If the wolf king Ed is really as benevolent and honorable as you say, he should take the initiative to send an envoy to find me."

In the farmland near Harrenhal, the wolf king Ed and Sir Barristan rode on the back of the dragon Flying Wolf and bathed the cursed land with dragon flames. The land was purified and revived.

The land swept by the frost of the Frost Dragon will be cursed. The land is sickly black, like greyscale. This kind of land is barren. Many farmlands in the riverlands have lost their food after being attacked by the Frost Dragon. Withered, the land was destroyed, but fortunately, the dragon flame of the magic dragon can purify the cursed land.

Purifying the earth made Wolf King Ed's elemental power stronger, which also allowed Wolf King Ed to control more powerful creatures.

The giant eagle prince Michu rode a giant eagle and came to the side of the wolf king Ed.

"The army of Daenerys, the father of life and mother of dragons, has landed in Duskendale."

Wolf King Ed said: "Very well, I hope to form an alliance with Daenerys. I will ride a dragon to meet Queen Daenerys. Ser Barristan, you come with me."

Barristan frowned.

"Queen Daenerys has an army of tens of thousands, and she also has three dragons that are much bigger than flying wolves. Is it too dangerous to go with you and me?"

Wolf King Ed said: "With the protection of the dragon, the giant eagle, and the griffin, we are safe."

Sir Barristan is the legendary Kingsguard. He is very familiar with the mad king Aerys and Prince Rhaegar. Ed brought Sir Barristan to shorten the distance with Daenerys.

Daenerys finally came, this is Ed's wife for Jon Snow, once the marriage is achieved, Daenerys' dragon becomes Ed's dragon.

King's Landing, Throne Room.

Cersei was furious and sat on the Iron Throne, while Duke Tywin, Sir Kevan, Jaime, Jillian and others sat on the long table under the Iron Throne.

Every time an imperial meeting is held, Tywin, James and others must look up to Cersei on the Iron Throne.

Duke Tywin: "Daenerys is coming with an army."

In the future, you will be the mother of the world.Toad Witch whispered in Cersei's ear until another woman came, and Cersei seemed to have returned to Toad Witch's tent and smelled the smell of the incense burner.

Younger than you, more beautiful than you, she will take everything you love.

There is no doubt that the prophesied woman is Daenerys.

Cersei's forehead was covered with cold sweat, "Daenerys' army went to Duskendale, I was expecting that Daenerys would attack Stannis' Storm's End, Dragonstone Island and other places, but she Choosing Dusken Valley Town clearly means attacking King's Landing directly."

Duke Tywin cleared his throat, "We have the Frost Dragon Meraxes in our hands. Daenerys's dragon, it is difficult to compete with Meraxes. If you add Bronze Wrath, Dreamfire and other frost dragons, We're sure to win."

James said: "Cersei, you can directly send Prince Rhaegar and lead an army of undead to attack Duskenvale Town. Seeing her brother Prince Rhaegar leading troops to fight, the Dragon Queen might cry in fright."

Cersei said depressedly: "Prince Rhaegar is hard to fight against the dragon. Perhaps, we should let Prince Rhaegar ride the Frost Dragon, so that the combat effectiveness of the Frost Dragon should increase."

Jilian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, send the necromancer Ogbeta directly, and he will definitely be able to kill Daenerys' dragon."

The necromancer Ogbeta walked in.

"Daenerys' dragon will belong to the undead sooner or later. Your Majesty, don't worry, I will cast a curse on Duskendale Town and create some surprises for Daenerys."

Cersei said evilly: "What kind of surprise is it? It wouldn't be the assassination of Prince Rhaegar?"

A skeleton flickered in the eyes of the necromancer Ogbetta.

"I'll just resurrect Khal Drogo, Prince Viserys, to surprise the Dragon Queen!"

At night, Khal Drogo, Viserys's urn, was placed in the cellar, and some bats flew into the cellar and shattered it.

Sacrificing living people every day to please the cold god makes the magic power of the necromancer Ogbeta stronger. On the dark altar in King's Landing, he can cast spells in the air, and he wields a skeleton scepter under the moonlight.

"Rise! Horse King Khal Drogo, rise! Prince Viserys!"

In the dungeons of Duskendale, a vision of skeletons emerged from the ashes, and Khal Drogo rode on a gray warhorse, holding an arakh.

Prince Viserys, with molten gold flowing from his brow, is riding a white warhorse with a skeletal sword in his hand.

Both rode dead horses, reeking of corruption and death.

Daenerys was taking a bath in the room, and suddenly felt the temperature drop suddenly, and the bath water began to freeze. Daenerys was taken aback, and immediately got up, wiped her body clean, and put on a silk robe.

There was a shout of killing in the courtyard, and Ser Jorah broke in, "Your Majesty, there is danger!"

Daenerys frowned, "Is there an assassin?"

Ser Jorah said in horror, "Khal Drogo and Prince Viserys are alive!"

In the courtyard, Khal Drogo rode his horse and hacked to death a Free Brotherhood soldier, followed by an Unsullied soldier.

Prince Viserys, wearing a crown of molten gold and wielding a skeletal sword, stabbed a Golden Lancer to death.

Then Daenerys met Khal Drogo's eyes.

Khal Drogo's bronze skin, long black hair hanging down his waist, black pupils, and almond-shaped eyes, everything is so familiar, but Khal Drogo smells like death.

Daenerys and Khal Drogo's marriage was not voluntary, but it was a long-term relationship.After Khal Drogo died, Daenerys missed Khal Drogo's strong body day and night.

Khal Drogo said, "Woman, wife, we have sworn we shall never be apart. Come back to my arms!"

Daenerys was almost moved, and couldn't help walking forward, but Ser Jorah held her back.

"Your Majesty, Khal Drogo is an undead! Don't be fooled!"

Only then did Daenerys recover, she looked helplessly at Khal Drogo, "You are dead, it was the dark magic that resurrected you."

And her brother, Prince Viserys the Sleeping Dragon, crowned with molten gold that still ran through his silvery hair, but Viserys was still angry.

Prince Viserys said sullenly: "You little bitch of the horse king, you have completely awakened the wrath of the Sleeping Dragon, and led an army to conquer Westeros. I should have been the one to conquer Westeros, but you took my place!"

Prince Viserys rode his horse and killed Daenerys. At this time, the dragon Drogon appeared and sprayed a dragon flame at Viserys. Prince Viserys and Khal Drogo could only dodge. Escape into the night.

That night, Kui Lizard, Black Flame Marquilo, lit the night fire on the city wall of Dusken Valley Town, and promised that the magic of the necromancer would not be able to attack Dusken Valley Town again.

The Quail Lizard wearing a red lacquer mask said apologetically, "The Cold God's power in King's Landing is too strong, and here it is too close to King's Landing. What's worse, Duskendale is not like Storm's End, the Isle of Faces near Harrenhal. , has magical power, and we are also to blame for our negligence in guarding against it, which allows the necromancer to take advantage of the loophole."

Daenerys said: "It's not your fault, the power of evil is so strong, and you have just arrived in this strange land."

"Cersei, Queen of the Undead, resurrected Prince Rhaegar, Khal Drogo, Viserys, damn Cersei and Lannister, completely awakened the wrath of the Sleeping Dragon, I must make them pay the price!"

Varys said: "Your Majesty, you must have also experienced the evil of the undead. Their goal is to kill the living, and then resurrect them to become slaves of darkness."

"Let's form an alliance with Wolf King Ed and Stannis! Only humans can unite to win this battle between life and death, ice and fire. Compared with the ultimate battle of life, the game of power is just a child's game."

Black Flame Maqiro said: "According to the scene shown by the holy flame, the Night King's army outside the Great Wall is ready to move. If the humans in Westeros cannot unite, it will be difficult to win the war with the undead. In winter, the fire of life in the world will be destroyed." Turn them all off."

Daenerys sighed, "You're right, I'm willing to discuss an alliance with Wolf King Ed and Stannis."

The next day, Daenerys was about to send an envoy, and Ed, the wolf king, rode a magic dragon and a flying wolf, and brought a giant eagle and a griffin to the sky above Dusken Valley Town.

Accompanied by Ser Jorah, Dario, Gray Worm, Jon Connington, Prince Aegon and others, Daenerys received the wolf king Ed on the city wall.

The little clerk Missandei introduced: "Standing before you is the Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, Guardian of the Realm, Stormborn, Mother of Dragons, and the Unburnt." , Khaleesi of the Great Steppe, Breaker of Chains, Queen of Meereen, Misha, Daenerys Targaryen!"

Sir Barristan introduced: "This is the guardian of the North, the Valley, the Riverlands, and the West, the Duke of Winterfell, the father of life, Ed the Wolf King!"

Daenerys said: "Wolf King Ed, you occupy half of the Seven Kingdoms. Judging from the title, we have conflicts!"

Ed smiled: "The title is just a fool, Queen Daenerys, I think you are well aware that the greatest threat to mankind is the undead, and the undead are resurrecting more dragons of the Targaryen family, turning them into Frost Wyrm."

That's when Ed noticed Ser Jorah.Back then, Sir Jorah captured several poachers and sold them to slave traders. The fief and title were deprived of by Ed, and Sir Jorah had to go into exile overseas. Of course, that was all before Ed, the wolf king, crossed over.

"Ser Jorah, I pardon your crimes. Your father, Mormont the Bear, is the commander of the Night's Watch. He is my close friend and a hero of the Seven Kingdoms. The Old Bear has been looking forward to your return home."

Sir Jorah said with emotion: "I miss my father, but now I need to serve Queen Daenerys, so I can't go home for the time being."

Ed said: "Your Majesty, let us defeat Cersei, Queen of King's Landing, clean up the undead, and rescue your brother, Prince Rhaegar, from the curse."

Daenerys said helplessly: "It's not just my brother, last night, my husband Drogo and my second brother Viserys also became slaves to darkness."

"It just shows that we should be united," Ed said.

Griffin Prime Minister Jon Connington said: "Wolf King Ed, if you want to ally with Her Majesty the Queen, all you have to do is bow your knees."

Ed disdainfully said: "Do you have to play this kind of word games? If I bow my knees to Daenerys, then my subordinates will be dissatisfied from the west, the riverlands, the valleys, and the north."

Prince Aegon said grimly: "If you refuse to surrender, you are admitting to rebellion. Auntie, Ed is the lackey of the Snatcher. It is a disaster to keep such a person, and he should be executed as soon as possible!"

Ed said seriously: "Even if the dragon kneels down to me, I won't kneel down to anyone."

At this time, Daenerys' three dragons, Drogon, Viserion, and Rhaego, flew into the air, and Ed Wolf King controlled the dragon with his mind.With the help of the old gods, the wolf king Ed's mind control became more and more powerful. Under Ed's control, the three magic dragons descended in unison and knelt in front of Ed.

Daenerys, Prince Aegon, Jon Connington, Ser Jorah and others were shocked.

Ed said: "Your Majesty, do you still have doubts?"

Daenerys sighed in admiration: "You are really unusual. I only have one question. If my father, King Aerys, brutally killed your father and elder brother back then, did this really happen, or was it fabricated by the snatchers?"

It was Ser Barristan who answered.

"Your Majesty, King Aerys did brutally kill Duke Rickard and Brandon. When Duskendale rebelled, I single-handedly rescued the mad king Aerys in Duskendale. Many knights would consider him a hero." move, but more people will say, this is my big failure."

"Because if the Mad King had died in Duskendale and Prince Rhaegar had succeeded, there would have been no wars of snatchers, no strife of kings, and the Seven Kingdoms would have had fewer wars and corpses."

Daenerys looked at Ed, "Even if we have a blood feud, are you still willing to ally with Targaryen?"

Ed said: "Yes, for all creatures!"

Daenerys pondered for a while, then stretched out her hands.

"For the sake of all creatures, I am willing to form an alliance with the direwolf!"

　Thanks to the leaping stars in the clouds, for the monthly pass!
