Chapter 0381 - Paper and Pen Are Swords (2 more)

The pirates gathered on the bow deck.

The fire in the royal forest was still far away, but the neighing of the horses and the shouts of the soldiers could be heard, as if there was some great battle in the forest, and the sound came from far and near.

Davos Seaworth stood up and looked in the direction of the fire in the royal forest: "That's our barracks. ”

Stannis's Grand Army was camped in the forest at the crossing of the Blackwater River, with thousands of marching tents and a hill of grain and grass camps.

"Who's raiding the barracks?" Pete Ivan looked in dismay.

"Do you want gold?" said Davos Seaworth, who had changed his decadence and stared at the fire opposite.

Pat Ivan looked at Davos with deep suspicion and vigilance in his eyes: "Who is raiding your barracks?"

"The Tyrells of Riverland, he and Stannis have never been at odds. "This feud was forged seventeen years ago, the Duke of Mestiril led the army to besiege Stannis for more than a year, almost starved Stannis to death, all thanks to a boatload of onions smuggled by Davos saved Stannis and others at a critical moment, Davos continued to flicker, "Although Stannis is dead, Dragonstone is still there." As long as I cooperate with you, I can take you into Dragonstone Castle to get the gold. ”

Stannis's territory, Dragonstone Island, is in the sea outside the Blackwater River, and the Dragonstone Fort on Dragonstone Island is easy to defend and difficult to attack, all of which are made of huge rocks, and once the city gate is closed, pirates cannot break through the city gate. If there is no one to work with, it is basically impossible for the pirates to attack Dragonstone Island and get their own gold. This is also the reason why Pet Ivan's first sentence after taking Davos Seaworth is not to go to Dragonstone to get gold, it is difficult to break through Dragonstone Castle. He told Davos that he was going to Cape Stormfury, threatening the lives of Davos's family.

But if there is Davos as the internal response, it is different, as long as the city gate is opened, Dragonstone Fort will become the world of pirates, and they can loot as much as they want when the time comes.

Dragonstone didn't have many defenders, and the vast majority of warriors followed Stannis to King's Landing.

"You're trying to lie to us again?" said Pat Ivan "I know you, Sir Onion, that you're loyal to Stannis and won't take us to Dragonstone to get the gold. ”

"What about Stormfury Horn? If my words don't count, you can go to Stormfury Horn to get revenge on my wife and children. "Davos is so unequivocal that there is no room for doubt.

Pat Ivan exchanged glances with his brothers: "Sir Onion, if you dare to lie to us again, I will be the first to kill you, and then burn the horn of the wind and fury to the ground, capture your wife and sell it to the brothel of Reese, and sell your three children to Valansti as slaves." ”

"I'm not going to lie to you, but if you want to get your hands on the gold, you'll have to listen to me now. ”

Pat Ivan was afraid to hear this, and everything had to be listened to by the liar Davos, just as Allister had persuaded Salado Thorn.

Pate and the pirates exchanged glances again, and Pate said, "Onion Knight, tell me, what do you want us to do?"

"The battleship docked and went up to meet Prime Minister Allister, and in the forest there were Stannis's officers and the rearguard army, about three thousand. Davos said.

Pat Ivan listened to Davos's words, pondered for a moment, and said, "Brothers, the battleship is close to the south shore, but don't dock. ”

"What are you afraid of? Pate, you're not gutsless. Davos said excitedly.

"I have guts, but I don't want to be a stupid person. "Pass the order down, keep the battleship half an arrow away from the south bank, don't get too close, and be ready to retreat at any time." ”

"There are no other warships here, your fleet is the overlord of the Blackwater River, what are you afraid of? The entire Blackwater River, up and down, you are the king. Davos said a compliment in an affirmative tone, "Pate, if I were you, I would lead my brothers ashore and pick up Prime Minister Allister on board." He is also one of your creditors, and if you want to get gold from Dragonstone, it is not enough for me alone, and if there is Prime Minister Allister, the situation is completely different. Queen Cylyse Floren is the niece of Allister Florent, think about it, for the sake of gold, you are worth it. ”

Pate stared at Davos, his eyes like a wolf, and shouted, "The battleship is docked, ready to fight!"

Davos's heart was suddenly relieved.

Twenty-one warships docked, and the pirates assembled on deck.

"The ship's side is crossed, and the ballista is aimed at the shore. “

Twenty-one warships were crossed, and the crossbow arrows were aimed at the shore.

"No one is allowed to go ashore without my orders. Peter Ivan ordered again. He looked at Davos Seaworth's stunned face, "I'll never fall for you again, Onion Knight, Allister can escape, I'll pick him up here, if he can't escape, it's his life is not good." ”

"You don't want gold anymore?"

"I'm afraid I won't get the gold with you? And the gold is what you owe us, so why should I go and work for you? But apparently you don't have any money left, so we won't go ashore unless you pay the full amount this time. “

Davos was speechless!

Pet Ivan has learned badly!

On the north bank of the Blackwater River, Magic Mountain and the others were also attracted by the light and sound of the fire on the other side, and the soldiers all turned their heads to look at the other side, their faces were shocked, who was attacking Stannis's barracks? Is it Julie Cregan? But she only has a hundred men and twenty boatmen. Although Stannis was cut in two by the Magic Mountain, the number of guards and affairs officers he left on the other side was at least more than two thousand.

Julie's archers can only harass such an army, but cannot do a strong attack!

"It's the army of the Tyrells in Riverlands here," said the Mountain. “

The soldiers are still suspicious, the Tyrells have suddenly arrived, are they here to attack Stannis, or will they take King's Landing as well?

"The Tyrells are here to attack Stannis?" the little demon had already thought of it, but he still asked the Demon Mountain to confirm.

The Demon Mountain has a close relationship with his father, and knows many things more than the little demon.

However, Duke Tywin did not have any personal contact with the Magic Mountain, and he told the Raven that the Tyrells were a secret military plan to rescue King's Landing, and no one knew about it except himself.

Looking at the firelight on the other side, the Magic Mountain knew that while Duke Tywin was persuading an alliance with the Tyrell family, he was also persuading two other nobles to defect to him, one was the Frey family in Twin River City, Duke Tywin had a younger sister and married into the Frey family, and the other was the northern nobles who had always had a personal relationship with Duke Tywin: the Burton family.

Magic Mountain understands that Duke Tywin's method of wooing people is very simple and very effective: profit! is like the straight stab in all swordsmanship, the straight punch in all boxing. Between two points, the straight line is the shortest.

Lord Tywin has become convinced of the witch's prophetic powers.

With the power of witchcraft prophecy, Lord Tywin has done at least two things so far: the fall of Winterfell in the North has proven his successful alliance with Balon Greyjoy of the Iron Islands, and the fire in the Kingswood has proven his alliance with the Tyrells of Riverlands.

Watching the fire on the other side and hearing the shouts of those warriors, he remembered a famous saying that the Duke had said: Paper and pen are also swords, sometimes sharper than swords.

The Duke recognized the independence of the Iron Isles King Baron as a condition, and persuaded the Iron Isles to send troops to attack the empty North without much effort, and the effect was obvious, all the nobles in the North panicked, and Robb Stark had to collect his troops and return to the North, after all, the capital of the North Winterfell had fallen, and there was nothing more serious than his lair being destroyed.

While acknowledging the independence of King Balon of the Iron Islands, Tywin also gave King Baron a piece of candy, that is, as long as King Baron could take the North, he would recognize the North as the territory of King Balon. The candy was so sweet that King Baron, in order to be rewarded with it, walked every step in the path that Duke Tywin wanted him to take.

After getting King Balon at his disposal, Duke Tywin secretly promised the same piece of candy to another Northern careerist, Luthbolton. As long as Lustbolton rebelled against the Starks, Duke Tywin promised to fully support Lustbolton as Lord of the North, and made Lustbolton the Guardian of the North.

The same very sweet candy, Duke Tywin promised Baron and Luce to fight, as for who ate the sugar in the end, Duke Tywin didn't care.

The Magic Mountain knew that the Duke's alliances were carried out in the most secret form.

The Duke has succeeded in two secret alliances, and there are two secret alliances, and the Magic Mountain knows that the Duke is intensifying: in addition to plotting against the great nobleman of the North, Luthbolton, the other is the Frey family who plotted against the Riverlands.

In the Riverlands, the most powerful nobles are the Frey family, and the most disloyal nobles are also the Frey family, so the most ambitious is the Frey family, Duke Tywin knows everything about it.

He sent ravens and secret messengers, and while Robb was still in Riverrun, he went to the Twin River Cities, and he pryed the sweet candy of the Frey family's rebellion: it was the fat riverland, the home of the granary of the Seven Kingdoms.

As long as the Frey family rebels, Duke Tywin will recognize the Lord of the Riverlands as Lord Wadfrey, and will ask the king to issue a reward decree to confer the title of Lord Waldfrey as the Duke of the Riverlands.

As for whether these two rebellions can succeed and what the outcome will be, Magic Mountain is not sure now.

He once warned Eddard Stark twice, clearly telling Eddard what he couldn't do, otherwise he would get what kind of bad consequences, and twice practice proved that Eddard couldn't listen to it once. So, will the red wedding appear again in the same way as the original world trajectory, the magic mountain doesn't know, he is not quite sure if he wants to do something, the first is to consider the risks, and the second is that Eddard Stark is difficult to be convinced, he is a frozen stone in the north......

"All Stannis soldiers, please form a phalanx according to the hundred-man team and enter the city. "The Magic Mountain gave the order.

Therefore, the black armor army was a group of hundreds, arranged in a phalanx one by one, escorted by red robes and gold robes, and entered the city at a uniform speed, becoming prisoners waiting for His Majesty the King, His Majesty the Queen Mother, and the Imperial Council.

The soldiers escorted the Black Armor Army into the city, and the little devil came to the Magic Mountain.

"Magic Mountain, will the Tyrells take the opportunity to attack the city?"

"Of course not. "Mestirell is an incompetent person, his mother, Lady Redwin, the Queen of Thorns, is very old despite her courage and resourcefulness, and the Tyrells agree to form an alliance with Lord Tywin, so naturally they have the consent of the Queen of Thorns." Duke Tywin took out the sweet candy that Lady Redwin could not refuse, and Lady would no longer have excessive expectations. Everyone in the Seven Kingdoms knows that Duke Tywin is not easy to mess with. Mays's vassal, the famous Landautali of the Seven Kingdoms, was only a famous military general, not a political officer. Tyrell wants to take advantage of the situation to attack the city, and neither strength nor courage is enough. ”

"I don't know, Prime Minister. Magic Mountain said.

The Magic Mountain is clumsy!

In the royal forest opposite, a group of men and horses rushed out, the military flag was crooked, the men and horses were chaotic, and a team of black-armored cavalry protected a person running in the front, that person saw the battleship on the shore, knew that Davos was recuperating on the ship, and also knew that Davos had a great relationship with the pirates: "Sir Davos, save me!"

It was none other than Stannis's prime minister, Allister Floren, who was anxious to lose his home.

Davos shouted: "Brothers, drop the jump bridge and get the Prime Minister on board." ”

Twenty-one warships, more than a thousand pirates were indifferent.

The pirate leader Pat Ivan said: "Lord Onion, you don't have a king, and there is still a prime minister. ”

"Stannis also has a wife and daughter, his wife is a queen and his daughter is a princess, and both of them can inherit Stannis's throne. All the nobles of the Starks, the Tully of the Riverlands, the Arryns of the Vale, and the Stormlands have sworn allegiance to House Stannis. "Of course, the Riverlands and the Arryn family are not, and the nobles of the Stormlands are only a part, and after this war, how much will be left is actually negligible," Lord Pate, if you save the prime minister of a country, you will only make money and not lose." ”

"Okay, Davos, I'll trust you one more time, brothers, save people!"

"Lord Magic Mountain, Lord Prime Minister, there are also troops from the north, waving the golden lion flag, and it is still five miles away from here. ”

A Cregan scout came to report.

The magic mountain and the little devil turned their heads to look at the north together, the sky in the north seemed to be on fire, the sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard, and the night wind also sent a faint noise of soldiers.

"Our father is here, too. The little devil laughed.

"yes, they obviously came a little early. Magic Mountain looked at the sky, "It's still early before dawn, little devil, guess how many hours there is left, one, two or half?!"

"No, I just want to go to Shataya's brothel for a drink right now. ”

"Let's go!"

"Yes!" the little devil laughed, in a good mood, and sang loudly, "I want to live to be eighty years old."

Drink a full stomach of Qingting wine, hey Qingting wine"

Magic Mountain knew that there was a heartbreaking story in this song about a little devil who was still in the dark, and he tore his throat and sang with the little devil:

A virgin accompanies me, oh hey, a virgin accompanies me

I'm just dying in a warm bed, hey, hey, hey, I'm dying in a warm bed

Eighty years old, virgin, warm bed two devil dreams.
