Dominate the Game of Thrones with Mount and Blade

Chapter 184: The first unlucky person to be killed by dragon flames



As a member of one of the few ancestor families in the valley, Anda Royce also has gray-brown hair and gray eyes.

But unlike ordinary ancestors, he was very tall and his thick hands made him look very strong.

In fact, it may be due to generations of genetic screening that some of the ancestors' nobles are as tall as the Andals, such as members of the Karstark, Amber, Glover and other families.

The young but calm Sir Anda nodded to everyone present and began to put forward the conditions of his father Bronze Yohn:

"With the persuasion of the mysterious lady and the consent of Lady Lysa Arryn, the mother of the Lord of the Vale, my father and the other three loyal ministers of the Iron Throne agreed to send troops to the north to regain the home of Castle Winter for the Stark family. City. But before sending troops, my father hopes that the Targaryen family can pardon all the crimes committed by the Vale families in the war fifteen years ago..."

While talking, Anda observed the changes in the expressions of everyone present.

"You have made the most correct choice." The Minister of War, Marquis Inis, took the lead in applauding. When he realized that he was the only one clapping blindly, he stopped in embarrassment and pointed at Willis Manderly.

"The young master of White Harbor will provide you with enough barges, and the Iron Throne will also send some soldiers to accompany you."

This was the planned plan, Marquis Frey repeated, as if this would reflect his value as Minister of War.

The king, who was sitting steadily on the wooden chair, waved his hand to signal Inis to quiet down, and then said:

"Let's talk about other things. Although Lady Lysa is a good mother, she dotes on her son too much, so I think she is not suitable to raise Robin Arryn, the heir of the Arryn family. It's better..."

He paused, waiting for Anda to answer.

The heir of Rune Stone City really had something to say.

"Yes, yes, my father thinks so too. Lord Robin is the future Guardian of the East and Lord of the Valley, so he naturally needs to be brave and good at fighting. In this regard, my father thinks he is better than Lady Lysa. "

Anda rolled his eyes left and right, and after confirming that the Prime Minister Duke of Metz, the Minister of War Marquis Innis, the Minister of Justice Earl Randyll Tarly and others would not raise any objections, he said loudly:

"On behalf of Lord Yorn Royce of Runestone City, I formally request to the Iron Throne and King Arthur I to allow Lord Robin Arryn to be temporarily fostered in Runestone City to cultivate his good conduct in line with the Lord of the Vale. Then, return to live in the Eagle's Nest or the Gates of the Moon."

Several courtiers sitting around the round table and several earls who often accompanied the king to meet with vassals here were whispering and discussing this matter.

But no one objected.

King Arthur I nodded slightly, "After the Arryn family and all the Vale families surrender to the Iron Throne, Duke Robin Arryn can go to Runestone City to live."

If he remembered correctly, Robin's heir, Harold Hatton, was also in the hands of the Royce family.

Harold, also known as "Harry the Successor", is the son of Ser Eli Waywood and the youngest daughter of Jon Arryn's sister Aly Arryn. He inherited the Arryn bloodline from his maternal side.

Due to the deaths of everyone closer to House Arryn by blood, Harold is currently the heir to House Arryn and the Eyrie. He is also the adopted son of Countess Anya Waynwood.

If something happens to Lord Robin, Harold will inherit the position of Duke of the Eyrie and Guardian of the Vale.

In other words, the governor and heir of House Arryn are both in the hands of Bronze Yohn.

If it works well, the Royce family may well dominate the entire valley for decades to come.

Anda Royce was overjoyed, and even though he was calm, he couldn't suppress his inner excitement, and a smile that made his wish come true appeared on his face.

"May the gods bless you, Your Majesty the Wise King. After I return to Seagull Town, the army in the valley can be mobilized and concentrated. The Waywood family in Iron Oak City, the Hunter family in Longbow Hall, and the Tampaton family in Nine Star City The families will all send troops. If you order all the valley families to be mobilized, I think the number of soldiers to pacify the northern border will be doubled."

Arthur listened, and it seemed that the same family that was sent out by Littlefinger last time was sent out, but Royce was added.

This is not possible. The entire valley has been recuperating and its strength is best preserved. How can it continue to be like this?

What's more, that's where Littlefinger focuses his business, so it needs to be sharpened.

The king looked at War Minister Aenys, "I remember that the Night's Watch sent a letter some time ago, asking the southern lords to send troops to help resist the invasion of the wildling army and the attack of the White Walkers, right?"

Marquis Frey, who finally showed his responsibility, nodded hurriedly, "Yes, the Night Watch also needs a large number of soldiers. Other families in the valley should also send soldiers to the Great Wall. Let me think about it, at least five thousand soldiers."

The other courtiers didn't know why they had agreed to send river soldiers instead of valley soldiers, but they still cooperated with the king.

"Yes, the valley is stronger and is closest to the Great Wall, so they should send troops."

"The people of the Vale committed unforgivable crimes during the Usurper's War. Even if the benevolent Arthur I does not pursue his mistakes sixteen years ago, you, the Vale family, should show some sincerity and actively serve the Iron Throne and the Targaryens. The family shares the worries."

The Duke of Metz even looked like the hand of the king. He stood up and reprimanded severely:

"To compensate for crime with merit, either the Valley family sends troops to regain the North and help defend the Great Wall, or each family pays enough fines to the Iron Throne to fill the Iron Throne's treasury."

The king's son-in-law is not as poor as the Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, so all the royal family's expenses during this period were advanced by the Tyrell family.

Anda frowned, "This is not something my father can decide. Perhaps the adults can write to Lady Lysa and Lord Petyr Baelish, the Guardian of the Valley, and ask them to assign tasks."

The influence of the Royce family is only in Iron Oak City, Hongge City, Nine Star City, Longbow Hall and other places. Families such as the Corbray family in Heartland City and the Grafson family in Seagull Town are even closer to Littlefinger. close.

"Families from earl and below are not only loyal to the lord, but also loyal to the king." Arthur set the tone first, "All valley families will send some soldiers, either to fight Bolton or to defend the Great Wall."

He pointed to the Iron Throne next door, "The king's position is made of iron swords, not words. If the people of the valley are disobedient this time, when my dragon grows up, I will ride the dragon to visit the governors in every castle. "

"In addition, some old rules must be followed. I have never seen the tariffs in Seagull Town."

The former lord of Gulltown, Marco Grafson, was a loyal minister of the Mad King Aerys II, but he was beaten to death by Robert. The attitude of his successor, Gerald Grafson, is unclear. Currently, it is only known that he and Littlefinger had a close relationship. close.

After saying this, King Arthur I got up and walked straight out of the hall to prepare for the wedding banquet.

Several courtiers and nobles followed to keep in line with the king, leaving behind the slow-moving fat man Willis Manderly and Anda Royce.

Although Sir Anda felt that there were many things that he had not said to the king, he did not dare to catch up and tell the king.

Seeing that Willis was struggling to stand up, the heir of Runestone City took two quick steps and ran over to help Mandalay.

"Alas, the task my father gave me was not completed. I just forgot the most important thing."

Anda said casually.

After Willis was helped up, he thanked him first, and then replied in the same tone: "Me too, my father reminded me to ask the Red Castle to find Harion Karstark, the heir of Cahor City, but I just Didn't think of it at all."

After the former lord of Cahor, Rickard Karstark, was beheaded by Robb and Harion was captured by the Westerlands, the power of Cahor fell to Roose Bolton.

And Earl Wyman Manderly, who was bent on breaking up the Bolton Alliance, was naturally concerned about Hallion's whereabouts.

Anda Royce comforted Willis and said: "Isn't it just a person? It's not hard to find him if you think about it. We are the ones in trouble in the valley. Listen to your majesty, if we don't use any force this time, when the dragon grows up, we will There's big trouble."

He did not mention the most important task Bronze Jon gave him, which was to let Royce or a member of the Waynwood family obtain the position of acting Lord of Winterfell.

Queen Sansa is the only main Stark branch left since Duke Rickard Stark, so the descendants of Duke Eddard's aunt have the right to inherit Winterfell.

After careful calculation, Simon Temperton, Lady Anya Waywood, Yorn Royce and their descendants all have the possibility of inheriting Winterfell.

Just now in front of the king and a group of nobles, Anda Royce did not dare to say this, but it was not easy to explain to his father.

He decided to take some time to speak to Duke Mace or a member of the Royal Council, Hand of the King, to see if anyone supported the Valemen to inherit Winterfell, and then go to His Majesty Arthur I to ask about the matter.

The two quickened their pace and walked towards the garden, where the wedding banquet of the King and Queen Margaery was going on.

King's Landing, Rhaenys Foothills in the north.

The famous ghetto Flea Bottom is on the south side of the hill, but now there aren't many people on the streets nearby.

The generous Queen Margaery was holding a wedding, and most commoners felt that the Red Keep would reward them with quite a lot of food, so Baba went to wait near Aegon's High Hill.

Tyrion Lannister, who was wearing a turban, followed Benard Brun and others. Now with his oily and split beard and the attire of the Eastern Continent, he looked like a wealthy businessman from Pentos.

"Why are we here? Can't we just go to the Red Fort?"

The little devil moved his calves upside down so that he could move forward with the soldiers of normal size.

Before entering the city, Willow Kuy and his Redwin soldiers had already separated from them, so the naval soldiers should naturally stay at the dock.

As for the rhinoceros, a steward from the Red Keep will come to receive it.

"You saw it just now. The area near Aegon Hill was completely surrounded by soldiers and civilians. How could we squeeze in?" Bennard replied.

Tyrion asked again: "Then where are you taking me? I remember there are only abandoned dragon lairs near Rhaenys Hills?"

Sir Bren touched Tyrion's head and said, "As expected of Lannister, you are so smart. The place we are going to is the dragon's lair, which is now the residence of the ancestor soldiers of the Crab Claw Peninsula. The dragon Odu Because His Highness also lives there."

Tyrion frowned and stopped talking.

It seems that he will not be able to attend the wedding banquet, and he will not be able to drink the wine he was looking forward to.

"Fortunately, I can see the dragon." The little devil comforted himself.

He has had a different kind of fascination with dragons since he was a child. Not only is he familiar with the names of the twenty-five dragons in the history of the Targaryen family (not counting Dragon Mother's three), he also fantasizes about having a dragon of his own.

It doesn't need to be big, just as big as me. This is what he said to Uncle Kevan when he asked for a dragon as a gift.

After several people climbed for a long time, the dragon cave, which was crawling on the top of the hill like a giant beast, appeared in their eyes.

The size of the dragon cave cannot be described by specific numbers, but the gate that can allow thirty knights to enter side by side on horseback may explain it.

The complete dragon cave is an extremely huge nest-like building, but its huge dome has collapsed from the inside, and the bronze door has been closed for more than a century.

It has become a ruin blackened by flames.

After Arthur I returned to the loyal King's Landing with the dragon Alduin, the dragon cave, which was already an open-air building, became an excellent place to raise dragons. In order to ensure that outsiders could not contact the young dragons, the king ordered some soldiers from the Crab Claw Peninsula to be stationed here.

"Lord Brun is back to the city~"

On the bronze gate of the dragon cave, the soldiers on duty shouted desperately after seeing their commander coming back.

A few minutes later, the giant door finally opened a crack.

Tyrion asked in confusion: "I remember that you can enter the dragon cave from other places, why do you have to go through the main gate?"

Bernard smiled, "It's not decent to go from other places. We are now members of the King's Landing Guard and represent the face of the king. How can we climb the collapsed wall?"

Twelve people passed through the huge bronze door one by one, and then the door slowly closed.

What appeared in front of Tyrion was an extremely huge black and gray ruins, which was only cleaned up in some flat areas, and dozens of tents were displayed in a mess.

"In the dragon cave, I am like a tiny insect." He sighed helplessly.

"Who is not? God knows how the dragon family built such a magnificent building!"

Bernard echoed.

Then he pointed to a place above his head, "See? Lord Alduin is sleeping there, and the one climbing down is Lord Gendry. Apart from the king, only he can get close to the dragon."

Since the Tyrell family funded the dragon's feeding, Alduin's food was very good, and tender lambs were delivered here every day, so the dragons slept all day after eating.

Sir Brun looked very envious of Gendry.

"To be close to a dragon? That must have dragon blood." Tyrion whispered.

The soldiers returned to their tents, but Benard and Tyrion stared at the dragon for a long time until the soldiers on duty above exclaimed.

"Lord Brun, a large number of soldiers did not listen to our dissuasion and climbed up from the collapsed wall."

When Benard heard this, he became nervous and shouted at the tent area: "Come out, come out, prepare for battle."

Although he didn't know where the soldiers came from, the king had instructed that those who attacked the dragon's lair must be enemies.

After his men gathered, Ser Brun picked up Tyrion and led the soldiers to climb up the ruins.

"Go tell Lord Gendry to wake up His Highness Alduin. The dragon will be safer if it flies high."

His idea was good, but the energetic Alduin had been awakened by the stupid humans.

The young dragon stood up from his sleep, kicked his hind legs, flapped his wings, and flew up immediately.

It caught a glimpse of the first unfamiliar human who was close to it, opened its huge mouth, and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm.

A bridge of fire connected the dragon's mouth and the human, and the latter was covered by flames.

The closest Ser Leswell Peake closed his eyes in despair. He became the first person to die from Alduin's dragon flames.
