The rain crackled against the windows, blurring the rough glass windows, and the faint cold wind rushing through the cracks into the warm room gave goosebumps.

Standing in front of the window and staring at the rain outside, a richly dressed silver-haired woman had a sad face and frowned, as if there were many irresolvable matters in her heart.

"My good lady, thinking about her daughter again?"

A gentle word came from behind her, soothing the silver-haired woman's furrowed brow, and at the same time, a pair of solid arms embraced her, which also comforted her heart.

"I've heard that the people of Westeros are savage, and the capital King's Landing stinks as much as the toilets." She said sadly: "I don't know what is going on with my daughter now, will she get sick, she encountered such a thing when she was so young, God bless, I really hope I can suffer in her place......"

"The lords of Westeros have always had a tradition of treating noble captives well, madam, don't worry too much, I'm sure there will be no surprises for our daughters." The man behind replied.

However, this did not seem to satisfy the woman, and even the sorrow on her face did not dissipate in the slightest, and even became more melancholy, but her personality was weak, but she did not say much, but kept staring out the window in a daze.

"Rhaenys loves rain the most, I remember when she was a kid, she would run out and yell every time it rained, it was weird, and I didn't see her sick."

"Of course, our daughter will not get sick, and others say that she has been blessed by the moon and blessed by the gods."

"If she is blessed by the gods, why is she still being captured?"

"She's so naughty, it's not good where to go, she has to sneak to King's Landing......"

……

After chatting for a while, seeing that his wife was tired, Lord Aquaman of Braavos motioned for the maids to come forward and wait for her to bathe and rest, while he himself stepped out of the room and walked in the direction of the hall outside the corridor.

A middle-aged man with a straight beard quietly came out and followed him, silently, but Aquaman could feel the presence of the other party.

"The battle is still deadlocked, and the people of the valley are frightened and refuse to give their all." The young voice in the mustache reported.

"Is it possible to break the game in a short period of time?" Aquaman asked without stopping his footsteps and without looking back.

"Unless we rebel against another force."

"It's not that easy."

"How about we send troops to harass the Stormlands, my lord?"

"It's useless, Baratheon has quite a few troops stationed in the Stormlands."

"And try to contact Dorne again?"

"Dorne, hehe......"

……

The Q&A conversation was all about the war on another continent, and it sounded like it was still in the driver's seat, but the brow of the Sea King Ferego Antarion was quietly furrowed, and his mood was quite heavy.

The situation was completely different from what he had imagined. I thought that this rebellion against the valley would break the current stalemate in Westeros in one fell swoop, but I didn't want the war over there to be like a deep quagmire, and I couldn't break free no matter how hard I struggled after falling into it.

Why is this so?

He couldn't figure it out. In other words, since the beginning of this war, he has not been able to understand many things.

Holding the banner of Targaryen's orthodox blood, I thought that after the army landed, even if there was no chance of raising their arms to gain a lot of support, there should be many lords who would take refuge and then divide the noble class of that ancient land, just like the Black Fire Rebellion in their history

But I don't know what's wrong, it's obviously a usurped throne, and Baratheon's rule is so strong, and he cunningly uses the problem of faith to exclude them, and even the beginning is very unfavorable.

At the same time, the Dorn, who were supposed to be among the allies, betrayed them and chose to stand by and watch.

The only consolation is that Baratheon has not let his guard on the Dorne Frontier and has therefore been pinned down with a large number of troops, otherwise the tide of battle would have been even more unfavorable for them.

The Sea King didn't know why the Dornish would choose to wait and see, but it was somewhat surprising that they might not be optimistic about the outcome of the war, and that the ruler of Dorn, Prince Dolang, had always been cautious.

It's just that the Dornites have finally made a marriage contract with Prince Viserys of House Targaryen, and the decision to wait and see is really unacceptable......

Thankfully, however, when Viserys was captured by the enemy, they were able to change their personal support without caring about the displeasure of the Dorn, and even gained the support of a golden regiment of tens of thousands of troops.

It's just that in the midst of that huge war, these 10,000 people didn't have much impact, but made the situation more complicated.

Originally, the composition of the alliance army was very chaotic, and the more participating forces were even more burdensome.

The nine free trade city-states could not be called harmonious with each other, and they could not see anything in a short time, but now that time has passed, many problems have been exposed.

the distribution of supplies, the deployment of troops, and the coordination of mutual forces...... Military measures were often difficult to accomplish when ordered, and relations between the forces that already hated each other became worse during this period, and the sudden and complete withdrawal of the Nakohor people from the battle not long ago made this command difficult to a peak.

Why did an otherwise staunch ally suddenly withdraw? Did you get into some trouble? Or what was discovered?

No one knew the specific situation, and even if they kept sending people to ask questions, those Kohor people never revealed the slightest tone, but their attitude was very bad.

The cause could not be found, but the impact of the Kohor people was severe, and the morale was plummeted, and the problems that already existed were so serious that the coalition army was about to collapse.

Fortunately, they have made some progress in the valley, but unfortunately this progress has not served their purpose.

The written report did not show much about the war, and Frego Antarion was baffled by the depictions of the gods, but he knew well the consequences of the war, which was already difficult, and now it was difficult to continue.

After arriving at the door of the hall, looking at the hazy rain outside the door, the Sea King of Braavos was expressionless for a while, and then suddenly spoke: "My lady misses our children very much, and perhaps the time has come to negotiate terms with the Iron Throne." ”

Speaking of conditions? It is self-evident what kind of conditions can be negotiated with the enemy.

The middle-aged mustachioed man who had been following behind the Sea King was shocked when he heard this, "You mean that we withdraw from this war?" ”

"Yes, but we can't evacuate as clearly as Kohor, lest the other city-states be dissatisfied." Lord Aquaman replied, "We need a certain disguise. ”

said that it was to avoid the dissatisfaction of others, but in fact, this one meant to pit friendly troops when leaving-

The relationship between the nine free trade city-states is delicate, competing with each other, and they are enemies more often than allies.

"I'll contact the pirates of the Stone Steps Islands to attack us." The mustache replied meaningfully.

"It's not just pirates," Frego Antarion commanded, "and Stannis. Baratheon's fleet should also be properly connected. ”

Speaking of this, the Sea King of Braavos couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

The war is obviously lost, but there is a reason to lose, not to mention, Stannis, who commands the royal fleet, makes him feel very difficult, obviously there are not many warships under his command, but he can entangle Braavos for so long, although he is always at a disadvantage, but Westeros is notoriously not good at naval warfare.

And they Braavos have been famous for their formidable military power at sea for countless years, and the hard power of the two is incomparable, however......

"Maybe I made the wrong choice in the first place?"

The battle situation is unfavorable, a large amount of wealth and resources have been lost, and even his daughter is in the hands of the enemy.

It's a real loss......
