Chapter 221, Crisis Everywhere (Ask for Subscription~!!)
Daenerys has three dragons, an army of the Unsullied, and Dothraki cavalry besieging King's Landing.
Cersei Lannister is isolated, and even if she controls the Iron Isles fleet, she has lost all her allies in Westeros.
On Robert's side, they have the largest number of transcendentals, and they have the support of the princes of the Riverlands, the Northlands, and the Valleys.
They all have absolute superiority, and they really don't take Cersei Lannister seriously.
Trapped in King's Landing, in the eyes of everyone, it seemed that she had only one way to escape on the Iron Islands warship.
However.
Some time ago in King's Landing, the archbishop of the Church of the Seven Gods overpowered the government and the opposition with theocracy and civilian support, and Cersei, as the queen mother, was forced to parade through the streets.
She was at an absolute disadvantage as she is now.
Anyone who dares to despise Cersei Lannister, a ruthless woman, will inevitably pay a terrible price.
Use the golden dragon of the Tyrells to pay off the huge amount owed by the royal family to the Iron Vault, and the Lion Queen still holds this huge wealth in her hands.
If you have money, you can mercenaries!
With the Iron Vault taking the lead, the Golden Regiment on the other side of the Narrow Sea received the news and soon agreed to the Lion Queen's willingness to spend a huge commission on hiring.
The Iron Islands fleet is just in time to be able to extradite the mercenary army!
So, the Lannisters only need to defend King's Landing until the Golden Order arrives.
As the Mother of Dragons prepares to occupy King's Landing, she leads a part of her troops to attack Lannister's territory, and is busy recovering the entire southern part of Westeros.
In Riverlands, the Tully family, who occupy the High Court, are ready with everything they need to make their way north.
First of all, he publicly declared his allegiance to Emperor Robert, and told everyone that the Tully family would lead the Horning soldiers to support the Wall.
It is so great to take the initiative to lead the army against the army of strangers and the dead.
Daenerys is an idealist with a heart for the world, and when she learns the news, she kindly orders her men to make way for Randolph Tareli to lead his army north.
The icy North.
Knowing Jon's true identity, Robb did not dare to stay with him in Castle Black for a long time, fearing that his cousin, who revealed his identity, would be hunted down by Emperor Robert, and hurried all the way back to Winterfell.
Lady Caitlin, who saw her illegitimate child again, was a little displeased, but she did not say anything, and gave the former commander of the night watch due courtesy.
When Robb dragged his mother to the unoccupied room, he whispered to her, "Mother, Jon is my aunt's child. ”
Hearing her son's words, Mrs. Caitlyn was still a little puzzled: "What aunt's child?"
Robb: "Jon is the child of Aunt Lyanna and Prince Rhaeggar. ”
"What?" said Mrs. Caitlin, "how do you know?"
"My father told me. ”
"You can't tell anyone about this again!"
"I know. Robb nodded solemnly, "I'm going south this time to get Jon safely to Dragonstone." ”
Caitlyn groaned and said, "Don't draw anyone's attention, take a squad with you, don't go overland, don't go to White Harbor, go to Widow's Hope." ”
"I'll be careful. ”
It is not too prudent to protect the bloodline of the previous dynasty.
However.
The worries of Prime Minister Eddard, Robb and Lady Caitlyn were unnecessary.
Arthur didn't tell Emperor Robert or his eldest brother Ryan, and no one except their family knew Jon's background for the time being.
They are not in any danger at all.
Just as Robb and his mother agreed on how to leave the North safely.
At this time, Winterfell welcomed an uninvited guest, Theon Greyjoy, who was adopted by Ed as an adopted son and grew up in Winterfell!
Captured by Peelrams the Younger, Theon is tortured, the Iron Isles undergo upheaval, his biological father is murdered by his uncle, and his sister is defeated and imprisoned in Winterfell.
He no longer has any relatives he knows.
The only thing I can come back to is the 'home' where I have lived as an adopted son for more than ten years.
"Theon Greyjoy?"
Seeing this betrayal of Greyjoy in the North, none of the people who knew him in Winterfell still had a good face.
In fact, he was also a poor man, imprisoned and abused by Rams*|, until he had a nervous breakdown.
But there will be something to hate in the wretched!
Winterfell was his only haven now, but he had broken the hearts of everyone here, killing Sect Leader Roderick, Maester Lewyn, and nearly killing Bran and Rickon.
Hearing the guard's report, Jon, who immediately rushed over, asked in a cold voice with undisguised killing intent, "Are you here to find death?"
Theon bowed his head and did not dare to speak, not as domineering as he once was, and behaved like a quail.
"What are you doing back?"
Looking at this brother who grew up with him, saved his life at a critical moment, and betrayed his brother at an important juncture, Robb's expression was very complicated.
Theon bowed his head, "I have nowhere to go." ”
Mrs. Caitlin, who had hurt her family by him, said mercilessly, "But you are not welcome here!"
"I... I'm coming to Asha ......."
"I brought the ransom. ”
Theon had already been to Dragonstone once, and had not met Queen Daenerys, but had met Tyrion and the Golden Dragon, which he had also funded.
"Ransom?" Lady Catelyn snorted, "you think the golden dragon can ransom Asha Greyjoy, after what you did to Winterfell?"
Hearing this, Theon lowered his head again, not daring to look at his adoptive mother.
As the eldest son of the Duke of the North, Robb, who was stripped of his inheritance by the emperor, is no longer the young wolf lord he once was, and wants to speak, but finds that no one is waiting for him to make a decision.
"Madame, what shall we do?"
The right to speak returned to the hands of the city lord's wife.
There was a long silence, and hatred for the adopted son from Greyjoy emerged, but Lady Caitlyn did not order him to be killed, but only ordered the guards to "lock him up in the dungeon first." ”
It's not about feelings.
It's because winter has arrived!
The Great Wall is about to start a war with the strangers, and the army of more than 300,000 dead, even if there is an ice wall, nineteen castles, and an army of seventy or eighty thousand to defend it.
She has learned about the situation with her confidants, and she also knows that the situation is not optimistic, so she has to leave a way back for her family.
At the very least, let the children go to warmer and safer places, and don't want them to endure the cold and war in the north.
Aside from not being able to leave Winterfell, Asha was not restricted in her freedom as a captive.
The appearance of her younger brother wants to save herself with ransom, and she sees it all.
But now, winter has arrived, the Alien Crisis is in danger, Cersei who occupies King's Landing is dying, and Daenerys, who has a dragon, will face off against many transcendents in the north.
Greyjoy, who rules the Iron Islands, is unlikely to be let go and then upset the balance between the North and the South.
But.
The day after Theon was imprisoned in the dungeon, Asha begged to see Lady Caitlin, who had left early in the morning to see off her son Robb and nephew Jon.
"Madam, I want to intercede for my brother. ”
"I am willing to pay the price of three ships, and I only hope that Madame will not treat him abusively. ”
"Just don't treat him?" Lady Caitlyn looked at her seriously for a moment, then nodded, "I'm not a cruel person. ”
"Thank you so much, ma'am. ”
What she could do, Asha Greyjoy had already done for her brother, and she had made a promise to write to the Iron Islands to ask her relatives to deliver the ship to complete the transaction.
