Chapter 240, Tactics (Ask for Subscription ~!!)
There is a dragon as a mount.
Flying in the sky at full speed can give most of Westeros in a day!
From King's Landing in the east of Westeros to the Old Town in the west of Westeros, Rego flew with the two of them flapping his wings for only a few hours.
In the night sky, you can see the towering tower standing in the middle of the old town, with a flame on the top of the tower that looks like candlelight illuminating the direction.
A dragon flew down from the night sky.
The alarm bells of the old town were suddenly sounded.
Not long after Arthur and Daenerys, who had arrived on a dragon horse, landed under the vigilant attention of the Old Town Guard, they met members of the Hightower family.
In that Iron Islands pirate attack.
As the crown prince, Arthur stepped forward to help the Oldtown and the Hightowers fight off the invading Iron Isles pirates.
The people of Old Town and the members of the Hightower family regard him as a benefactor.
He was wary and fearful of the dragon's arrival.
But when the soldiers saw Arthur, the captain of the garrison, who knew him, immediately said to his subordinates: "Put away your weapons, and in front of you is His Highness Arthur, who helped us fight off the pirates."
Please wait a moment, Your Highness, and I will report to Lord Leighton immediately!"
Upon learning of Arthur's arrival on the dragon, the old man Layton Hightower, Laughing Baylor, the madwoman Moroya and others soon all came out to greet them.
Natalie Gilbert, who helped the young prince manage the Haiyan Workshop and cooperated in printing, papermaking, and publishing, also hurried over when she received the news.
Silver-blonde hair and purple eyes.
Daenerys has obvious physical characteristics of the Dorag family, and everyone in the Hightower family was very surprised to see the dragon and the dragon queen come with Arthur.
The old man Layton knew very well that Robert hated the bloodline of the previous dynasty.
Moreover, the two of them riding dragons represented too much information, and he had to be cautious, so he knowingly asked, "Your Highness, who is this?"
"This is Queen Daenerys, and we've made an alliance. ”
As the boy's words fell, the Dragon Queen nodded to everyone in the Hightower family.
Having chosen to be loyal to Arthur, the Earl of Oldtown looked at each other with some of the family members, and for the time being, he didn't know what to do with this descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, the true heir to the orthodox Iron Throne.
Daenerys also saw their helplessness, but didn't say much, after all, she had formed an alliance with Holy Loren and postponed the fight for the Iron Throne until after the Stranger Crisis, and she didn't want to lose the war for the survival of all mankind because of infighting.
Following the warmly entertaining Earl of Layton into the Tower of Babel, Arthur sat down in the parlor and said, "Lord Earl, I need food. ”
The old man of the old town nodded clearly: "We know that winter is coming, and we need to prepare enough grain to guard the Great Wall, and now we have gathered three hundred ships to transport grain to the north at any time." ”
"No, there is no rush to deliver grain to the north. Arthur shook his head when he heard this: "Lord Randolph Tully went north and also brought some of the grain stored in the riverbend to the Great Wall, and there is no shortage of food in the north now. ”
"I've come to Old Town to get your food to King's Landing. ”
Hearing this, the eyes of everyone in the Hightower family lit up, and the old man asked in high spirits, "Has Your Highness recovered King's Landing from Cersei Lannister?"
"I have formed an alliance with Queen Daenerys to reclaim King's Landing from Cersei, but the situation in the Imperial Capital is not good, hundreds of thousands of residents are facing a lack of food, and winter is coming, King's Landing has a large number of houses destroyed due to the war, and we must resettle civilians......
Overall, we didn't get any benefit from getting King's Landing, but instead became a heavy burden. ”
Hearing Arthur's words, the Earl of Old Town immediately said: "No, Your Highness, the restoration of the Emperor is a matter worthy of our joy, and if there is any difficulty in King's Landing, our Hightower family is willing to help!"
Hearing this, Daenerys snorted at the eagerness of the Hightower family.
"Thank you very much. The boy knew that the help of the Hightower family was not gratuitous, but he had no choice but to accept it.
Asking the scholar to take the account book, Old Layton immediately reported to the prince: "Your Highness, our business is going very well, although there is not much snow salt from the workshop, but we are now making a lot of money.
Praise your request, the golden dragon is exchanged for grain, with the current shipping situation of our three hundred ships, the grain storage will probably have to be transported away in six trips. ”
Three hundred ships make six trips, which is the cargo volume of 1,800 ships.
Although this number is a lot, Arthur is not satisfied: "Then I need you to transport the food to King's Landing immediately." ”
"Yes. When the Earl of Old Town heard this, he immediately agreed, and instructed his eldest son, Baylor, to do it, and after a moment of hesitation, he asked Arthur, "Your Highness, can I recommend my son to King's Landing to help?"
This help is actually asking for an official position.
With no troops and no officials, and no real master in control of King's Landing, Arthur could only look at the Dragon Queen sitting beside him.
Daenerys smiled and nodded, "Once you arrive in King's Landing, you can go to my Queen's Hand, Tyrion." ”
"Tyrion Lannister?" said the Hightowers, whose faces were a little strange.
Arthur said, "Aside from all else, Tyrion Lannister is a man of great ability. ”
Looking at the young prince who was helping the Dragon Queen speak, Old Layton asked in a deep voice, "Your Highness, I don't know what your relationship is?"
"We are allies. Arthur said.
Daenerys shook her head slightly and looked at the elderly Earl of Old Town, "I intend to marry Arthur." ”
Arthur frowned suddenly, not understanding why she was saying this to the Hightowers, and said with some displeasure: "We can't possibly. ”
The Dragon Queen looked at the handsome young man and shook her head: "You know what is best for Westeros, but the Stranger Crisis has not yet passed, and it is indeed too early to talk about this." ”
The silver-haired Dragon Queen's words made Natalie, who was holding the ledger and wanted to walk towards the prince, stop.
Daenerys is not Guinavia, she is much stronger than the Windsor family, and the Lorain family was once a branch of the Dorag family.
As a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, she is similar to the current Divine Loren Prince in terms of status, bloodline, and power, and she is a real match!
As long as the two families marry, the dragon and the transcendent will join forces, and the civil war in Westeros will end peacefully in no time!
The Unsullied Legion and the Dothraki cavalry join in to fight the Wraiths, and the odds are greater!
There are too many messages represented by the marriage, born in a small aristocracy, knowing how many pounds and taels she has, Natalie now does not dare to approach Arthur.
The boy also saw Natalie holding the ledger with a hesitant face, it was no longer Wuxia Amon, and as soon as he thought about it, he realized that it was Daenerys's words that made her so.
However, if you have to explain to the Hightower family that they are only allied, not married, and that in the future to solve the Stranger Crisis, the two families will continue the civil war for the Iron Throne, which will definitely dampen their enthusiasm.
King's Landing is in great need of food now, and even more so the help of the Hightowers.
A prince with no fiefdoms, no soldiers and vassals, and a queen who invaded with outsiders and forced nobles to submit, could not stabilize King's Landing, which numbered more than half a million people.
