Chapter 202, The Wind Rises (Ask for Subscription ~!!)
The north wind on the calm waves blew the sails of the ship, so the speed at which everyone went south back to the East China Sea to look at it was very fast.
With Bran's help, Arthur did not cure Sir Barristan who was still unconscious, but barely hung his life to prevent the cold poison from spreading.
To heal the old knight completely, the young Green Prophet also needed to be guided by the Heart Tree.
Arthur probably used the Green Dream to see how the ancients dealt with the wounds of the Ice Blade of the Stranger when the ancestors were fighting with the Stranger.
"You're finally back!"
Seeing Arthur who had disembarked from the ship, Warian, who had taken over the defense of Donghai Wang, immediately came to his senses, "The enemy is currently going out on an adventure, what do you think in your head?"
"Father!"
But when he saw the big fat man Robert, he immediately became happy.
"Varian, get the Bachelor over at once. ”
"Sir Barristan is wounded?" Seeing the captain of the Kingsguard carried on a stretcher by Gawain and Lancelot, Varian immediately ordered his men to find the Bachelor and the Doctor.
"Father, Arthur, you're not hurt, are you?"
"We're fine. Robert shook his head, "Just swam in the sea for a while, a little cold, by the way, he's Brandon Stark, Eddard's second son, send someone to tell him." ”
"I heard Arthur say that Daenerys crossed the sea from the remnant of the previous dynasty, does my prime minister regret it?"
Varian was stunned when he heard this: "What does Ed regret? Daenerys crossed the sea and came here, why didn't I receive the news?"
Robert: "You don't believe your brother?"
Thinking of Arthur's successful predictions several times, knowing that he would not lie, Varian suddenly frowned: "I believe it, but this news is too bad." ”
"Daenerys is different from the Lannisters, who have been eliminated from their allies, and it is possible to attack us. ”
Arthur said, "I have this in mind, so I'm going to make another trip south." ”
"You're going south again?" Varian's brow furrowed even more at the unsteady fellow's words, "It's too risky!"
Arthur smiled wryly: "Otherwise, what else can be done?"
"Let's have Ed and Ryan come over first. Robert decisively said, "In any case, to deal with the strangers, we must have a stable rear. ”
"Arthur is a lot smarter now, and since he is sure, then I believe he must have a way to keep Daenerys from attacking us for the time being." ”
"Let's talk about what to do first. "Varian.
Arthur: "Take a ghoul and give Daenerys a chance to say goodbye." ”
"It's that simple?" everyone was a little speechless.
After thinking about it, Arthur said, "Dorne, Tyrrell, and the daughter of the sea monster will all form an alliance with Daenerys, and I want to find an opportunity to defeat them one by one in the name of sending the ghouls." ”
"What do you think?"
Robert: "How do you break them one by one?"
Hine Kay frowned: "Tell me more details." ”
Arthur: "Uh... This will have to be done when the time comes. ”
"So, you don't have a detailed plan at all?" Varian rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Hearing this, Robert shook his head speechlessly, but he still chose to support him, and asked in a deep voice, "Then what do you need?"
Arthur: "Probably... Only shapeshifters and battleships are needed. ”
Varian looked at the Fat Emperor when he heard this, and when he saw him nodding, he said, "I can send two people to follow you, but how many warships do you want, can you give an accurate number?"
"Hmm... If the Iron Islands split, there is a side to help the Lannisters attack the Iron Islands fleet that has thrown themselves into the Mother of Dragons......"
Hearing Arthur's words, the eyes of Robert, Varian, and everyone who entered the conference room lit up, but Heinlikai was still very sensible: "We don't have so many warships to deal with them. ”
Robert: "But we have a chance to tackle both of their navies!"
Varian shook his head, "Daenerys has dragons. ”
Heinrikay: "If her navy remains intact, then our coast could be attacked at any time."
She already has three dragons, and with the help of the navy, even if we hold the Great Wall and defeat the Strangers, I am afraid that we will not be able to reclaim the Iron Throne. ”
"Yes, we're weakening that girl!" Robert nodded in agreement.
Ed, Ryan, and Stannis soon traveled to the East China Sea to meet the Emperor who had been missing for a long time.
After talking about the strange ghosts outside the Wall, the current consumption of food and grass for the army, the logistics for the winter, and Daenerys who crossed the sea, Ed and Jon were very happy to see Bran, but when they learned that Barristan was not doing well, they hurriedly sent Bran and the old knight to Winterfell.
As for Arthur's southward departure, everyone expressed different opinions.
Ed, Ryan, and Stannis don't approve of the teenager going on any more adventures.
Robert and Varian, convinced, believe that the power of Daenerys, the Mother of Dragons, must be weakened, and that they have no better candidate to go south except Arthur.
After all, this young man has extraordinary powers and can predict the future.
While the group was discussing weakening Daenerys, a raven messenger called Euron Greyjoy the King of the Iron Islands and led the Iron Islands fleet to form an alliance with the Lannisters.
On the city walls, feel the cold wind blowing and listen to the sound of the waves by the sea.
The moonlight in the sky is faint, the gloomy dark clouds linger but refuse to go away, more than 3,000 people settled in the East China Sea to look, and at night the castle is brightly lit.
Think about how to break down Daenerys' allies, weaken the army she wields, and even hope to kidnap a dragon as a mount.
The boy thought about it too much and couldn't sleep at all.
"Your Highness is thinking about going south?"
When the Emperor returned to the East China Sea, Prince Stannis arrived, bringing with him the priestesses of the Red God Cult.
See Melisandre and Penelope, as well as cheap cousin Lorianne, and the Church of the Seven nun Liadline following them.
Arthur smiled distantly, but not politely, "Is there something wrong?"
Melisandre: "We can go south with Your Highness and help Your Highness convince the Dragon Queen not to go north." ”
The young man looked back at the seashore with the sound of the waves: "And then?"
Melisandre did not answer, but threw the question back to him: "What does Your Highness think?"
"We can't hold the Wall, and when the land of Westeros is covered in winter, no one can be left alone, and even if Daenerys goes north to defeat us, she will only rule the dead. ”
Arthur said lightly: "I am completely sure of the armistice negotiations, and I don't need your help." ”
Hearing this, several priestesses were silent for a moment, and only the sound of the wind remained in the tower.
After a long time, Melisandre said, "Your Highness really doesn't think about anything else?"
"There's nothing to think about, Vislot is ruled by the Dorrag family, and now it is usurped by the Lannisters, but since our Holy Loran can bring down the country, we have the ability to regain what we have lost and then sit firm!"
Melisandre: "Your Highness, it would be unwise to be an enemy of the Dragon Queen. ”
"You think Daenerys has won?" Arthur shook his head disdainfully, "Aside from dragons, neither the Dothraki nor the Unsullied Legion are worth mentioning to us. ”
"And the dragon is not invincible. ”
Melisandre: "We still want Your Highness to be sensible. ”
Arthur snorted coldly when he heard this: "You came to persuade me like this, does Uncle Stannis know? Don't forget that he is the object of your allegiance!"
Hearing this, Melisandre fell silent again.
Penelope muttered, "Your Highness, Queen Daenerys' dragons are invincible, but we have a way to avoid war without us, and that is through your marriage. ”
"Huh. ”
Arthur scoffed at this approach, and even if Robert agreed to the marriage, there was only one in Westeros, and the two could not coexist.
The conversation broke up unhappily.
However, seeing the Red Priestess leave, Liadline walked over again and cautiously said to the prince, "Your Highness, our archbishop needs to meet with you. ”
"Brother Mars is here?" Hearing this, Arthur frowned, feeling that the waters of religion were getting muddy.
Liadline said, "No, the archbishop hasn't arrived in the north yet. ”
"I'm sorry, you know I'm going to the dragon queen, I don't have time to meet him for the time being, if there's something important, Marssius... The archbishop can talk to His Majesty and the Prime Minister. ”
Liadline shook her head, "Your Highness, the Archbishop said that it was a major matter related to the future of Westeros. ”
"Then you should go to Your Majesty or the Prime Minister. ”
"But the archbishop only wants to see you!"
"And then used by him?" Arthur suddenly became displeased when he wanted to be quiet and watched the sea being disturbed one after another, "Do you know that your archbishop is ambitious?"
