Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory

When the flag of Summer Hall was planted in the camp outside the city, Linde himself had already arrived outside the Red Keep.

Although riding a dragon would allow him to reach King's Landing faster, it would be too arrogant and more like showing off his power in front of King Robert, so he left the lava dragon Neltharion in Summerhall Castle and took a The Rangers of the Chosen Legion came to King's Landing, and even the armor he wore was not the Homeless Knight's armor, but the Golden Lion's armor.

"Prince Lynd, you look more like a member of our Lannister family in this outfit." At the gate of the Red Keep, Jaime Lannister looked at Lynd who got off the horse and couldn't help but smile. .

Although there is a huge difference in their identities, James' attitude towards Lind has not changed much.

Linde took off the helmet and handed it to the attendant on the side. Then he smiled and said, "If you like it, I can have someone make one for you."

James shook his head and said, "I'll forget it. If I put on this armor, I might not even be able to walk normally."

Lind smiled and turned to look at Ed Stark who was standing on the other side of the door. Judging from the position where he stood, his relationship with James should be very bad, even if he came to greet him, I don't want to stand too close. At first glance, it gives the impression that I want to stand aside.

"Long time no see, Lord Eddard." Lind turned around and walked up to Eddard Stark, taking the initiative to salute.

Eddard Stark also bowed and returned the greeting: "Long time no see, Prince Lynd."

The other ministers of the Royal Council standing next to Ed stepped forward to salute Linde.

Even Renly, who was extremely disgusted and hostile to Lind, also smiled and behaved very respectfully, saying: "I thought I could see Prince Lind, your dragon specially sent people to clear the square outside the Red Keep. It’s a pity that you came here on horseback after cleaning it up!”

Lind looked at Renly and said, "I don't think His Majesty wants to see someone riding a dragon flying over the Red Keep!"

"We don't want to stay here, let's go see His Majesty!" Eddard Stark was very worried about any conflict between Lind and Renly, so he said without giving the two a chance to continue talking.

After saying that, he led Linde towards the Red Castle, and everyone followed, and the group soon arrived at the meeting hall of the Prime Minister's Tower.

Robert Baratheon had already sat at the end of the long table. Perhaps because of Lynd, he was very sober today. If he had been before, he would have been extremely drunk at this moment.

Although they haven't seen each other for only a few years, Robert has aged a lot, and compared to the last time he was in Highgarden, Robert is now fatter. Sitting in a chair feels like it will collapse when he sits on it. He is completely gone. The heroic look when I first saw him.

After seeing Lynd walk in, Robert smiled, but then asked with an annoyed look: "Bear Hunter, why did you refuse the Sea Lord's invitation?"

Linde stepped forward and explained: "Your Majesty, I think Lord Stannis is very qualified in the position of Sea Lord. There is no need to replace him, and I am also very busy..."

Robert interrupted Linde angrily: "Busy? Is your busyness going to that place called Sa Xing for vacation?"

Linde smiled and did not answer.

"I really envy you. You can go everywhere. People even told me that I went hunting in the Kingswood." Robert looked at Lind with envy, and then glared at Eddard.

Ed said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, after Jon passed away, there are too many things to do, and there are still many things waiting for you to deal with. Now is not a good time to go hunting."

Robert said with a displeased look: "I know, I know! I didn't come to you to teach me a lesson, but to help me do things." After that, he motioned to the others: "Sit down. ! Prince Linde is here to discuss this matter."

After hearing this, everyone sat down in their own seats, leaving only one seat for the Sea Lord. Lind looked at it, turned around and sat on a chair next to Barristan.

Seeing Linde like this, Robert frowned, but didn't say anything. Then he saw him take out a piece of scroll paper, put it on the table, and said, "You all should take a look!"

Except for Varys, everyone read the contents of the scroll, with different expressions on their faces. The last person to read the scroll was Littlefinger Petyr Baelish. He stood up and took the scroll in his hand. Passed it to Linde.

Lind took it and looked at the contents, and found that it was the details of Jon Clinton's meeting with Khal Drogo outside Qarth, and it also mentioned that Khal Drogo had agreed to marry Targaryen. He will marry Daenerys Targaryen in the near future, and it is very likely that Khal Drogo will lead his Dothraki army to Westeros to help the Targaryen family seize the Iron Throne.

After reading this information, Linde did not show any abnormality and put it aside casually.

"Tell me what you think!" Robert glanced at everyone, and finally his eyes stayed on Lind for a while, and then he asked everyone in a deep voice.

Renly looked disapproving and said first: "I don't think there is any need to pay attention to this matter. It is well known that the ocean is poisonous water for the Dothraki. It is impossible for them to cross the sea to the continent of Westeros."

"Lord Renly and I have the same view," Eddard also nodded and said: "Although the Dothraki are powerful, they have never been able to leave the grassland. Over the years, no Dothraki has ever come. Westeros, so we don’t have to worry about them invading Westeros.”

Varys also put forward his own ideas as much as possible at this time, saying: "I think the countries and city-states around the Dothraki Sea that we should be most worried about now, because if the remnants of the Targaryen family want to attack the Seven Kingdoms, they will inevitably We need a logistics base, and this base can only be a city-state near the sea, so those foreigners on the East Road are probably more nervous than us. "

"Even if the Dothraki want to invade the Seven Kingdoms, they will still need enough ships, and those who can provide enough ships now..." Littlefinger said, looked at Lind, and then continued: "The only force that can provide enough ships to transport a hundred thousand troops is Braavos, and we owe the Iron Bank of Braavos millions of gold dragons. If they support the remnants of the Dragon family to invade the Seven Kingdoms, that debt will be But I can’t get back a penny. I don’t think the Sea King of Braavos is so unwise.”

"Do you all think it's impossible for those scoundrels and barbarians to invade?" Robert looked at everyone coldly, then turned to look at Linde and asked: "Bear hunter, what do you think? I want to hear it. your thoughts."

"If the Dothraki want to invade the Seven Kingdoms, the best way is to board the ship in Pantos, land directly in the royal territory, and then attack King's Landing." Lind said calmly: "If the Sea King of Braavos I really lost my mind and promised to provide them with ships. It is also very difficult for them to reach Pentos from the Dothraki Sea. In the east, there is the country of Lorne, my wife Nymeria, blocking it. In the south, I control the dispute. The ground can intercept them, and they have no way to reach Pentos. If they don't board the ship in Pentos, but choose to board the ship in Slaver's Bay, they will need to go through a long sea voyage. The Dothraki are not adapted to life at sea. , I can’t calculate how many people will die along the way, but what is certain is that when they land, they will have absolutely no combat power, and we can easily eliminate them by waiting for work. "

Ed nodded repeatedly and said: "Prince Linde is right. After the long voyage of the Dothraki, let alone humans, even their horses may not be able to bear it. We will directly land at the place where they landed." Just ambush them."

"What if they land in Dorne?" Robert looked at Lind and said, "I remember there are three evil breeds there now. One of them is said to be the Aegon who was killed by the fall from the Mountain. Geng is a fake. If it is true, the relationship between this bastard and Dorne is very close. Prince Doran of Dorne is likely to know the truth. They are more likely to unite with these bastards. When the time comes, Dorne will provide them with a landing location. How are we going to ambush them?"

Everyone fell silent. Robert glanced around, landed on Linde again, and said in a deep voice: "Bear hunter, tell me, how should we respond?"

"Actually, this is not a big problem," Linde replied calmly: "It is undeniable that the Dothraki are extremely brave on horseback, but they may not even be as good as an ordinary child holding a sword on the ship. From slaves There is a long sea route to Dorne by boat from the Bay, and here we have my Miracle Fleet, Lord Stannis's Royal Fleet, Lord Manderly's Manderly Fleet in White Harbor, and Redwyne of the Arbor. The fleet, the Lannis Fleet in Lannisport, and the three sea monster fleets in the Iron Islands, a total of six fleets, have all the advantages at sea. We can completely use our advantages to fight an interception war at sea, and will fill the Dothraki All human ships were sunk on the summer sea."

Renly also shouted excitedly: "That's right! We don't need to worry about the Dothraki invasion at all. As long as they dare to come, we can sink them into the sea!"

Everyone present nodded, indicating that the Dothraki had nothing to fear.

However, Robert did not show any happy expression on his face. He looked at everyone calmly, and after a while, he slowly said: "Yes, we do not need to be afraid of the Dothraki, but what if those evil creatures don't Why not go back to the continent of Westeros, but occupy a place in the east and establish a country?”

Ed said: "Isn't this better? We don't have to..."

"No, this is not good!" Robert glared at Ed and said, "I won't give these scoundrels any chance to turn around."

Ed had a bad feeling and said in a deep voice: "Robert, what have you done?"

Robert smiled and said: "I didn't do anything. I just took out a sum of money and bought a few assassins. I believe it won't be long before we can hear some good news."

Ed immediately stood up from his chair and yelled angrily: "Robert, you are crazy. You are the king. How can you hire assassins to kill several children?"

Robert also stood up and looked at them, saying: "Children! They are not children, they are some vicious scoundrels. The youngest scoundrel can get married and have children. I will not give them any chance. They All will die!”

Ed didn't say anything, but turned around and left the meeting hall with a disappointed look on his face.

Watching Edd leave, Robert became furious and yelled: "Get out, everyone!"

After hearing this, everyone stood up and left. Judging from their skilled movements, this kind of thing should have happened many times before.

When Lind also stood up and was about to leave, Robert suddenly stopped him and said: "Bear Hunter, before you leave, go to the garden to see Myrcella. After all, she is also your daughter-in-law. In a few years, she will be Let her marry your son!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will follow your arrangements!" Linde nodded, bowed and retreated, and then led by the attendants of the Red Castle to the courtyard behind.

I saw that not only Myrcella and her maids were in the courtyard, Queen Cersei and the ladies of King's Landing were also here. In addition, Joffrey and Tommen were also beside Cersei. They were at this moment What jokes were being told, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

When Lynd came to the courtyard, the attendants read his title loudly, and the ladies stood up from their chairs and saluted Lynd. Only Queen Cersei and Joffrey, who had a bandage on his hand, were still sitting on the chairs. .

Queen Cersei looked at Lind with a hint of mixed emotions. In fact, she was extremely disdainful of Lind. She believed that Lind was just an upstart with no family heritage, and was not even as good as the weasel family of the Twins, Myrcella. Marrying Augustus was simply a disgrace, almost the same as her grandfather marrying her aunt to the Frey family. It was something the whole country could laugh at.

However, she also knew that Lind's current strength was far beyond that of the Frey family, and even the Lannister family could not match it.

When Robert came back from Highgarden, she had argued with Robert about this matter, but the result was two more slap marks on her face, and she also asked her father, Lord Tywin, but Duke Tywin gave her a completely different reaction. He very much approved of the engagement and thought it was the best thing Robert did after becoming king.

She knew that those men were scared, but she was not afraid that she would fight for the glory and happiness that her daughter deserved. So before she learned that Linde would come to King's Landing, she had already thought of making things difficult for Linde. Plans to break the engagement.

However, when she saw Lind now, the plan she had thought about completely disappeared, because the moment Lind entered the courtyard, she seemed to see Lord Tywin walking in, and she had the instinctive fear for many years. The sudden surge in her heart made her lose even the strength to stand up from the chair.

"Your Majesty the Queen, Your Highness Prince Joffrey, Prince Tommen." Lind nodded to Queen Cersei, Joffrey and Tommen one by one, then saluted the other ladies and said, "I hope my arrival will not disturb you. ”

"Of course not." Queen Cersei quickly collected her emotions and said, "We happened to be talking about the engagement between Myrcella and your son Augustus..."

Before Cersei finished speaking, Joffrey stood up and said in an arrogant tone: "Prince Lynd, as a vassal of the Iron Throne, you should dedicate a treasure like the Dragon's Horn to your lord. "

Everyone around him fell silent and stared at the bold prince. Even Cersei had the urge to call her son a fool.
