Chapter 0704: The Magic Mountain Ignites a Self-Immolation, Jaime's Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce His Heart
At the beginning of Aegon 301, Wagner Garr, the commander of the Dragonstone Navy, received an order from the royal regent Cersei Lannister, asking him to lead more than 300 warships of the Magic Mountain Navy to enter the Royal Navy port in King's Landing, regain control of the Royal Navy fleet, and appoint him as the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy and the Minister of the Sea.
At the same time, Her Majesty appointed the Kingsguard Gmund Gübler as the Captain of the Royal Guard of the Megaru Royal Guard, Glenn Gübler as the Captain of the Queen Mother's Guard, and Baron Swain as the Commander-in-Chief of the Coalition Forces in King's Landing, with a total of 100,000 soldiers from the Riverlands, Stormlands, and King's Lands.
Benronte Brown is the commander-in-chief of King's Landing's Six Thousand Garrison.
In peacetime, the garrison of King's Landing was only 2,000 men, but in wartime, it was expanded to 6,000 men.
Reuse the Minister of Intelligence, Bernie Klegane, as Deputy Commander of the Coalition Forces, in charge of the Crown's military affairs and intelligence.
At the same time, Her Majesty the Queen Mother issued a Raven Order, ordering the Iron Isles' G. Viceroy Gubler is the Deputy Commander of the Royal Navy, and leads the Iron Islands fleet to garrison King's Landing. He also mobilized more than 200 warships from the Redwin family on Qingting Island to station in King's Landing's Blackwater River port.
At this point, King's Landing's Royal Navy Wing reached an unprecedented number, with a total of about 1,000 warships gathered in King's Landing's Blackwater River Harbor, creating a miracle in naval history.
In the time of Robert, in the time of Joffrey, the Royal Navy fleet was no more than a few dozen!
At this point, the Empress Dowager Cersei was surrounded by Scholar Cockburn and Minister of Intelligence, Bernie Clegane, the captain of the guard and the two Gubler brothers, the military generals Baron Swain and Ben Ronter Bloom, and the admirals Wagner Gahr, Gavin Westerling, and Governor Goud.
For a time, the army of King's Landing was powerful, and the naval combat power reached an unprecedented peak that no previous king could match.
*
In the north, the first military supplies passed by sea, through the sea of sunset in the west, across the Gulf of the Iron Islands, to the fishing village dock in the city of Toruń, and then abandoned the ship and landed, and the wagons and ox carts brought armor, cloaks, oil and oil, weapons, food, etc. into Winterfell.
With the arrival of supplies from the South, the morale of the Winterfell coalition forces was strengthened.
The day after the arrival of the allied supplies, Her Majesty's raven also flew to Winterfell, and the raven letter passed through the hands of the Winterfell Scholar to the hands of the Magic Mountain, and Her Majesty the Queen Mother promised that when the Magic Mountain returned to King's Landing with his army, the lord of Lannisport, Count Rosamon Lannister, would marry the adopted son of the Magic Mountain, Comm Warner.
The news of Queen Cersei's reappointment of Bernie Clegane, Fellow of Corburn, and Gübler of the Kingsguard in King's Landing, and the reappointment of Wagner Garr as Lord of the Sea and Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy reached Winterfell, much to the surprise of the Mountain and his military priest Melisandre, and now, the cronies surrounding Her Majesty the Queen Mother are all loyal to the Mountain.
It seemed that all of a sudden, the Empress Dowager Cersei seemed to be a different person, vigorously using the people of the Magic Mountain, entrusting them with important tasks, and even entrusting their lives to the two royal guards arranged by the Magic Mountain: the two brothers Ge Meng and Ge Lan. The power of the Megaru Guard and the Queen Mother's Guard was firmly controlled by the two brothers.
In Winterfell, the news of Cersei's series of personnel changes made Jaime very uneasy, the Demon Mountain was too powerful, the dragon was invincible, and Cersei reused the people of the Demon Mountain to control the military and government affairs of King's Landing Red Keep, what did she want to do?
However, these changes are not the most disturbing, and then another major event will follow.
*
Shortly after returning to the West from the Bright Moon Mountains with the last of the hill tribe warriors and their people, Janine Westerling received a secret letter from the Queen Mother from the acting lord of the city, Fellow Bancroft, at the Clegane Bank in Lannishabour.
Jenny crushed the wax seal, poured out the parchment roll, unfolded it, and was completely stunned when she finished reading it.
The letter was a secret letter from the Queen Mother, and the contents of it made Jenny Westerling unbelievable, and Queen Cersei wanted her to go to King's Landing, and she asked Jenny Westerling to be the Minister of Justice in front of the Kingdom.
It's just unbelievable.
The Kingdom's Minister of Law, in the era of Robert, was Ranlie Baratheon, King Robert's favorite brother, in the time of Joffrey, in the case of Mace Tyrell, and in the time of Tommen, after Lord Mays was promoted to the Hand of the King, the Minister of Law remained vacant.
The position of the Minister of Justice is very important, in charge of the country's justice and justice, and the Crown Judge is generally held or appointed by the Minister of Justice, and this position has always been controlled by the royal family.
Jenny read Cersei's letter several times, and she couldn't believe what Cersei wanted to do, she wanted to use her position to trick herself into King's Landing, and then use her as a hostage to blackmail the Magic Mountain.
It's entirely possible!
When the magic mountain is strong, Cersei can restrain the magic mountain if she controls Janine Westerling.
Just, Can Cersei control Janie Westerling?
In King's Landing, the Minister of Intelligence who cultivated the Little Bird Organization to flourish is Sir Bernie Clegane, the commander-in-chief in charge of the Royal Navy is Wagner Garr, and the two captains responsible for protecting the safety of the royal family, one Gemund and one Ge Lan, are all cronies of the Magic Mountain, and there is also a great teacher who makes the Queen Mother obey her words, and it is also arranged by the Magic Mountain to enter the palace and become famous.
What does it mean that Queen Cersei suddenly secretly asked Janine Westerling to be the justice minister of the kingdom and take power with her?
After a brief moment of stunnedness, Jenny Westerling came to the Templar, she entered the secret letter, took out the silver needle, took out a silver bottle among the dozens of silver bottles containing blood, opened the lid, and the silver needle reached into the bottle, stained with blood, and licked it on the tip of her tongue...... This is Cersei's blood, which Jenny has secretly obtained through the Bachelor of Coburn when she was in King's Landing.
In her secret room, there were nearly a hundred silver bottles, each of which contained someone's blood.
The revelation that blood brings to Jenny is clear: Queen Cersei is in trouble!
Since the prophecy shows that something is wrong with Queen Cersei......
But could the prophecy be misinterpreted?
Determined to be more cautious, Jenny tasted the blood of the others again, and finally decided to release a few ravens and head south to King's Landing.
*
A few days later, the new village of Clegon in the Westside assembled a mixed army of 3,000 cavalry, led by Duchess Jane Westerling, flanked by two female generals who were stronger and taller than men: Brienne of Tarth, Bernie Clegane's wife Zeligerda the Bull, Luke the Centurion of the Guard, Tob Mott, the Master of Weapons, Gendry Clegane, the Master of Weapons, and Donna Swiffer, Countess of Charlotte of Silver Hall, and Acting Lord of Castle Rock...... and more than 30* knights of the three major families of Clegane, Charlotte, and Swevier......
*
Two days later, in the middle of the night, the land was silent, and the Magic Mountain of Winterfell was riding the Red Smoke Beast and Melisandre, the great sage of the Fire Warlock Guild, Robb Stark, the King of the North, with dozens of fire warlocks under the walls of Winterfell, and the Maester Harry brought a secret letter that Lady Jane's Raven had just delivered.
Moshan took the secret letter and looked at it under the torch, his face cloudy and his eyes flickering.
Robb Stark, King of the North, and the Great Wise Man turned a blind eye, and no one asked what was going on with the Mountain. It's not a tricky thing, it's something that makes the Magic Mountain feel strange.
Queen Cersei secretly ordered Jenny Westerling to go to King's Landing at the Red Keep, where she would vote for Janine Westerling as the Kingdom's Minister of Law through the Council of Ministers.
The Minister of Justice, a nobleman who is not a close associate of the king, or an ally of interest, will not be appointed. When Mace Tyrell was promoted to Prime Minister, the post of Justice Minister remained vacant.
What's wrong with Queen Cersei? Determined to be firmly tied to the Cleganes? Her vigilance, vigilance, fear, and hostility towards the Cleganes have all vanished, and there has been a complete reversal?
Something is wrong!
The face of the Magic Mountain changed in light of the torchlight, and after a while, he handed the letter to Melisandre beside him. When reason and wisdom are unable to discern the abnormal, the Magic Mountain thinks that it is time to turn to God's prophecy.
Melisandre's flame did not foresee this series of abnormalities of Her Majesty the Queen Mother, Cersei was not stupid, she must have her inner logic and reason for doing so.
Melisandre was also slightly stunned when she read the letter, what happened to Queen Cersei, the recent series of actions not only surprised the magic mountain, but also caused the royal courtiers to meet in private to discuss government affairs, and finally they all 'looked at each other'.
"Lord Magic Mountain, the night is long and treacherous, and I hope to see God's revelation from the flames tonight. ”
"Yes. Moshan snorted in his nostrils.
The Great Wise Men and Robb, the King of the Northern Realm, both maintained their manners, and if the Demon Mountain didn't say it, they would never ask. Dealing with smart people will burn a lot of embarrassment.
"Go on!" said the Magic Mountain.
So, dozens of pyromancers worked together, and cans of wildfire were buried under the city walls, which were wildfires used to detonate, similar to the big bang as understood in the Earth civilization of the Magic Mountain. And at various points in the city, key castles, wildfires were also quietly buried.
Wildfires burn cities and cannot be extinguished unless the wildfire material is burned out. Storms and rain can't extinguish wildfires, and wind and snow can't weaken wildfires.
It was a secret military operation, and since the Magic Mountain, the Great Sage, the King of the North, and Melisandre were in charge, the news was not leaked at all. Everywhere they went, secret wildfires were planted, the first was late at night, and secondly, the soldiers and patrolling generals in the vicinity were all transferred out beforehand. As long as the War Horse of the King of the Northern Realm and the Red Smoke Beast of the Demon Mountain are present, far and near, they will not be able to see anyone else.
It was a covert operation in the middle of the night, with one goal, to burn Winterfell to the ground. Robb Stark was the only one who wanted to destroy his family's 8,000-year-old castle with his own hands. He was young, but he was a real ruthless man.
Dozens of pyromancers worked together to bury the wildfires point by point, following the secret map designed by the Magic Mountain, Melisandre, the Great Wise Man, and Robb, the King of the North. Nine-tenths of the way to the wildfire on the map is complete, and it will take a few more nights to see the entire Winterfell surrounded by wildfire material.
Set yourself on fire! Suicide attack!
After the wildfire material is buried, the soil is restored to its original state, and although it is still hot in the south, it is already snowing every day in Winterfell, as if winter has come, and as soon as it is dawn, the snow will erase all traces.

Early the next morning, Jaime Lannister rode his horse to patrol the entire coalition camp, the 15,000-kilogram Ligan Legion of the Magic Mountain was practicing, and the sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, archers, and cavalry were all training outside their camps, shouting loudly, they were the fastest southern soldiers to adapt to the northern weather.
Bound by the military orders of the Magic Mountain, the soldiers of the Valley Legion and King's Landing also got up early in the morning to run and exercise their ability to keep out the cold, many of the noble knights and soldiers of King's Landing were weak because of the cold and contracted the wind cold;
Jaime had never seen a legion with such iron discipline, and the soldiers under the Magic Mountain seemed to be all outlaws.
The sound of hooves sounded, and a group of cavalry came in front of them, led by a flaming beast, and on top of it sat a magic mountain like a small mountain. Dozens of people from the Magic Mountain and his cavalry camp have arrived, they have just gone to inspect the training of the Klegon Legion, and are returning to the main fortress of Winterfell.
"Sir Jaime. The Magic Mountain stopped Jaime.
Jaime stood still, solemn.
He is the deputy, and the magic mountain is his immediate boss.
"Sir James, I have a letter here, and I think you need to look at it. The Magic Mountain motioned, and Sir Gray Güber, who was beside him, immediately stepped forward and handed Jaime a parchment scroll.
Jaime didn't answer, and said lightly, "Lord Magic Mountain, I'm not interested in learning anything other than fighting the Aliens. ”
Jaime was proud, and he did his best to maintain his dignity in front of the Magic Mountain.
"Oh, Jaime, Cersei has written from me that I want to marry Rosamond Lannister, Lord of Lannisterport, to my adopted son, Comm Warner. Comm Warner, come out. ”
The sound of horses' hooves, Com Warner's horseback out of the ranks, the young horse, galloping constantly, soaked in a group of tigers and wolves in the Magic Mountain, tempered in the flames of war, has come out of the fierce and sharp, far beyond the age of maturity and ability, heroic and extraordinary.
"This is my adopted son, the patriarch of the Warner tribe, Sir Jaime, do you think he is worthy of Rosamon?"
The corners of Jaime's eyes twitched slightly, and he tried his best to prevent Rosamund from marrying the people of the Magic Mountain, but in the rear, Cersei made a decision to marry Rosamund to Comm Warner.
It's not that Comm Warner is worthy of Rosamon, it's that Magic Mountain wants to annex Lannisport, the biggest fat in the West.
Jaime felt like he had been stabbed in the heart by the Magic Mountain.
Magic Mountain looked at James condescendingly and smiled: "Lady Jenny Westerling has set off for King's Landing, and Her Majesty the Queen Mother has ordered her to go to King's Landing to serve as the Minister of Justice of the Kingdom, and by the way, Rosamont and Com Warner have signed a marriage contract. Sir James, from now on we are already family. The mountain bent down and held out his hand to Jaime.
As soon as Jaime lifted the reins of his horse, the war horse staggered, and he did not shake hands with the Demon Mountain: "Lord Demon Mountain, I only care about when Lord Eddard Stark will attract the army of strangers, and the rest of the things, please forgive me for not being interested." If there is anything like this in the future, please don't tell me, I'm not interested. ”
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Jaime and his retinue roared away.
In front of him, Cersei's face was superimposed on that of the Demon Mountain, lingering.
Jaime's face was pale, and his heart was torn apart!
