Chapter 214: Taking Over King's Landing (Subscription Request~!!)
The meeting between the representative of the Iron Vault and the prince was unpleasant.
Get how to make soap.
Brad Freggar negotiated with Prime Minister Ed, Prince Stannis, and Prince Lane about the repayment, as well as the deal for winter supplies, and he left Castle Black without staying long.
Arthur continued to study fighting spirit, practice martial arts, exercise his body, and advance science.
......
Meanwhile.
South of Westeros, King's Landing.
Receiving the letter from the raven, the Tully family of Hornling knew who to throw themselves to.
For the Lannister's summoning, Randolph Tully followed Arthur's plan to arrive in King's Landing to attend the meeting, and then pretended to be persuaded by Jaime Lannister to agree to send troops against the Tyrells.
The Kingkiller and the Lannister army head to the Riverlands.
The ships of the Iron Isles, however, remain in Blackwater Bay outside the Blackwaters, waiting for their mortally wounded monarch Euren Greyjoy to recover.
However.
Crow's eyes are very difficult to heal from burns all over the body.
Or rather, he never had a chance to recover again.
Yu Lun's whole body was burned by the flames, and none of his skin was intact, and he could hold a breath and not die, completely sheltered by the drowning god.
Fishing people out of the sea, the last thing the people of the Iron Islands should do is send their King of the Iron Islands to King's Landing for healing.
Cersei Lannister is not a good person.
She allied herself with Raven-Eyed Eulon, just to take advantage of the Iron Islands' fleet.
Of course.
For the dying Euron Greyjoy.
Queen Lannister will do whatever it takes to revive her allies.
It's just that the attending doctor will be Cobain, who made Robert Strong out of the corpse of Gregor Cregan in the Magic Mountain!
......
This side of Dragonstone.
Queen Daenerys did not know that Asha Greyjoy had been destroyed, and that she and Dorne's Ellaria and the three Sand Snake sisters had been captured.
Focus only on the Unsullied Legion attacking Castle Rock.
Even the Tyrells have been betrayed, and the Lannisters have sent troops to unite with the Tali family to attack the news that they have not received the news.
Because her intelligence director, the eight-clawed spider Varys, is busy inquiring about information about the north, the Great Wall, and the outside of the Fortress.
For one day, it was not determined that there was a ghost crisis on the Great Wall.
The Dragon Queen was always on the lookout for Robert's army suddenly moving south.
But.
As long as Daenerys is sure that the enemy in the north cannot be separated, she has no worries and can build a defensive line against the north while attacking Lannister and King's Landing!
......
According to the original plot.
Having lost three allies, Dorne, the Iron Isles, and the Tyrells, the Mother of Dragons will ally with Jon Snow for support from the North and the Vale, and will help deal with the Wraith's crisis and confront the Lion Queen.
But Robert didn't die, Ed didn't die, and Robb didn't die.
A lot of things have changed.
The Riverlands and Vales were returned to the Emperor's command, and the North was fully supported to secure the north of Westeros.
Because of the strange ghost crisis outside the Cyprus, they can't go south to quell the rebellion, and now Westeros has formed a three-legged situation!
Return to the north where the wind is howling and the snow is everywhere.
Outside the Black Castle under the Great Wall.
A depressed Arthur braved the snow to stand in front of the gate of the gun-making workshop, listlessly watching Ed and his men dismantle the workshop.
"Your Highness, we have done what we need to do, and we have done it well, there is no need to be so sorry. ”
Dr. Ryan came over and tried to persuade the prince not to stand in the snow like this.
Arthur shook his head and sighed: "We have successfully made two four-pounder cannons, the power is obvious to everyone, it is obviously a great weapon to deal with strange ghosts, why can't we continue to build it?"
In a past life, he lived on the earth with four seasons of the year.
He was also in the long summer when he traveled here, and he had only read it in books, but he didn't take it seriously, and he didn't realize that the winter was coming, the world was in a long night, and the long cold winter didn't know when it would end.
Charcoal, firewood, etc., all need to be stocked up to keep everyone warm.
Even if there is an army of ghouls outside the city, their worst enemy is still the long and dark winter of the night.
"Your Highness, we need to make sure that there are enough supplies to survive the winter. Dr. Ryan said.
Arthur said angrily: "I know, no one objects to consuming charcoal to make gunpowder, why can't you make guns and cannons?"
Ed came over: "You know we have enough crossbows and dragon crystal crossbows in stock to not need bronze firebolts at all. ”
The Bronze Fire Gun is slow to reload, and even if the range is improved, the effective range still does not exceed sixty paces, and it takes so much material manpower to get out and is not as easy to use as the crossbow arrows, they really can't look down on it.
"Can artillery be made?" Arthur said hurriedly, "artillery is much more powerful than catapults." ”
Ryan coughed lightly and pointed to the side of the workshop, where there were more than thirty barrels of exploding, scrapped, and substandard barrels.
"You made more than thirty artillery pieces to succeed in two, although we are very optimistic about this weapon, we really can't afford to consume it. ”
“......”
Arthur was tempted to say that it was normal for us as developers and experimenters to experience a few failures.
But when these words came to his lips, he was speechless when he saw another pile of copper, iron, and steel scrapped from making guns.
"Your Highness, the last long night lasted for several years, and there was not enough food and firewood, and we either starved to death or froze to death. Dr. Ryan said.
Arthur: "But the stranger is the worst enemy, and with the elimination of the stranger, I have many ways to survive the long night." ”
"Your Highness, you take it for granted. Ryan shook his head.
Ed also said: "Go back and have a drink at the bar, it's cold outside, don't get sick." ”
That's it.
Arthur's plan to build guns and cast cannons was reluctantly terminated because of the long winter and the need to ensure supplies.
Back to Castle Black.
The King's Tower echoed with the joyful cries of women.
It was too cold for exercise, and the emperor would not deal with affairs, but would have fun with the spearwoman he had brought back from the fortress.
Living in the King's Tower, an adolescent boy can suffer a lot.
This is one of the reasons why Arthur would rather go outside and endure the cold wind and watch the snow fall.
Following the prince who returned to the room ignoring the calls, Selena pretended to be casual and asked, "Do you need Gawain to stand guard later?"
"If you don't want to stay outside the room, you can talk to Annie, Heinly, or Gianna. ”
"Okay. The mercenary suddenly, "I'll go and call Gawain right away." ”
Gawain and Lancelot were the most loyal young knights and guards except for the three female knights, and the two of them were able to withstand the voices made by the emperor and the spearwoman, and they remained at their posts without changing their faces.
Such a situation.
Clever and sane night watchmen will bypass the King's Tower.
Those fools were transferred to other castles, or did stupid things to provoke the women of the Black City to be hanged.
Annie, Heinlikay, Selena, and Gianna are not ordinary people, and their force value is not much lower than that of the Night's Watch, especially since Gianna is still a spellcaster.
And Angela and Liadline of the Church of the Seven Gods, Melisandre, Penelope and Lorianne of the Red God Church no one dared to provoke.
Selena leaves the King's Tower and goes to Gawain, who is stationed in the camp outside and manages the hundreds.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no guards guarding the door, Lorianne pushed the door and entered Arthur's room.
"Your Highness, I have something I want to talk to you about. ”
