Chapter 583: Eliminate Evil
Explosions can only be most powerful if they occur in a confined space, and this perfect situation is very rare in complex battlefield environments, and Iger is actually cheating - relying on pre-made "burying" preparations to amplify the already powerful destructive power of thermal weapons to maximize deterrence.
With the same amount of gunpowder, it is really impossible to smash such a boulder into pieces, but Tyrion didn't know this, and at this moment, in his brain shell, which was completely out of match with his small body, there was only this thought: the Lannisters' pride and the city of Castle Rock that had never been captured had only magnified this boulder dozens of times. If this weapon is dropped into the Western Frontier army in a dense formation during actual combat, or under the foundations of Castle Rock City...... What would that look like?
It turns out that Iger just said "Great", and that's what he meant!
It dawned on Tyrion.
If he had returned to Lannishaven alone, and reported back to his father, Tywin, that the Land-Grants had a new weapon more terrifying than the Dragon, and that the Western Army would not be able to match it, the old man would probably snort coldly, taking it as his cowardly and cowardly nonsense, and perhaps suspecting that he had colluded with outsiders to try to deceive and intimidate him because he coveted Castle Rock.
But this time, Uncle Kevon is also in Golden Tooth City, and he will definitely be able to hear the loud roar of the gods that Egger blasted just now, and when the coalition forces retreat, he can also take someone to the blasted boulder to observe and study it up close...... He has a reason to even have a criminal record to cheat on his father, but Kai Feng, as the old man's younger brother and right-hand man, is deeply trusted, and he can testify to his words, isn't it "wonderful"?
"Understood. Tyrion rolled his throat, but there was no saliva to swallow, so he could only nod dryly, trying not to show a shocked and dazed stupidity, "I will convey all the Queen's conditions and requirements to my father." ”
......
With such a powerful military force in the West, of course, Iger also wanted to use it for his own use, but Tywin had already discouraged others from giving him the courage to hand over the back to him through a complete betrayal operation: at the end of the Retainer War, wasn't it this old lion who rushed to King's Landing under the banner of King Qin, but directly ransacked the capital of the Seven Kingdoms after Aerys opened the city gates, and instructed his white gloves to destroy the Targaryens?
Whether it was 20,000, 30,000 or 100,000 troops from the Western Frontier, if they faced each other head-on on the battlefield, Iger was confident that they could easily defeat them...... But if this number of soldiers blends into their own camp and then makes a defection at close range, then Sun Wu will not be able to save the scene in the next life.
Unreliable teammates, it's better not to!
Before Egger went south to the battlefield of the Lord of Kings, he deliberately took thousands of people across the entire riverland to meet Tyrion here, and although he was sincere in attracting him to "join the gang", it was only done by the way, and the most core and direct purpose was to ensure that when he was engrossed in besieging King's Landing and confronting and negotiating with the Riverbend + Golden Regiment, there would be no more threats from behind!
There was no doubt that such a threat of force would detract from his friendship and intimacy with Tyrion, but Egger was not nervous: the two of them were fatally friendly, and the reason why a smart man was a smart man was because he could surely understand that his move was also out of helplessness, not malicious to him?
"Okay, it's enough to breathe, let's go back to the tent. Believing that the dwarf had figured out the situation, Egg suddenly changed from the seriousness and ruthlessness of a moment ago, and became friendly and kind again, "The kitchen has prepared a big meal and wine, you and I will meet again after a long absence, and we will not return home if we are not drunk today!"
"Haha, that's a good feeling!" Tyrion also relaxed and active again, now that he is not the guardian of the West, he is a good negotiator and a mouthpiece, why worry about his strict and cold father?" "But alcohol alone is not enough, I have to be a woman to get drunk." ”
"Hahaha, there are many maids in the kitchen, and there are even spear women in the army, which one do you like, although you can hook up with your ability, I will never interfere!"
"Oh, woman!" Tyrion snapped his thigh and exclaimed, "It's good to get to that, or I'd almost forgotten." Jack, go get somebody!"
"Who?"
"I have a woman in my hand, who should be considered yours, so I will bring it to you. ”
Well?
Egger's heart jumped slightly, shouldn't this be his own line?
When he arrived outside the Golden Tooth City, he had wanted to make arrangements in case Messira had intentionally or unintentionally met with her family—who would have thought that this little girl would be so self-conscious that she would not walk after him all day before, and obediently stay with her "guide" Melisandre, and not even come out of the tent.
The girl was so well-behaved and sensible that Egger couldn't bear it, and began to struggle with "whether to let her meet Tyrion".
Personally, he is actually very willing to let this lovely little guy reunite with his family for a short time and enjoy the warmth of family affection......
But reason prevented him from doing so.
When Tyrion sees his niece, he is likely to insist on bringing her back to Castle Rock, and it is difficult for him to have a valid reason to refuse...... Rather than being in a dilemma at that time, it is better to be ruthless at the beginning and not fall into an embarrassing situation.
Later, when he completed the "thorough investigation" of the poisoning case and became the queen of the exchequer, Tyrion became his own person, and Messira completely gained his trust, and there was a chance for her to meet anyone she wanted.
......
After returning to the tent and waiting for a while, the woman Tyrion spoke of was brought in—Iger recognized the person without looking at her clothes or face, just by looking at her long legs.
Asha, who had received two more men and a bunch of equipment, vowed to assassinate her uncle Euron Greyjoy, and was completely lost after leaving Icefjord, and the Iron Folk attacks that continued to occur later confirmed that her operation had failed, and she had actually fled to the West?
Egg's expression suddenly became strange: it was just that the thing didn't work out, and if we didn't see each other again, I wouldn't think about or look for her at all. But this woman was good, but she fell into the hands of the Lannister family, and they sent her back, causing herself to owe the lion family a favor for some reason......
Isn't this a typical example of not enough success and more failure?
Tyrion observed Egg's expression, and immediately knew that Asha's guess that he had deliberately let him go was true, so he waved his hand: "Untie her and get out." ”
The soldiers of the land-giving army who accompanied him into the tent also knew Asha, and seeing that Iger had no objection, he waited for a while, and after a while, the curtain was lifted along with the Westlanders who had untied the shackles on the girl's feet and left, and there were only three people left in the tent in an instant.
"Miss Asha, long time no see. For the sake of her being the bereaved family of the anti-ghost martyrs, Egger finally did not turn his face and deny people. He clasped his hands to his chest, and did not hide the blame and dissatisfaction in his tone, "After the land was donated, how was the housework handled, and how did you end up in the west? ”
Compared with the last time we met, Asha's complexion has not changed much, only her hair has grown a lot, hanging down to her ears to cover the side of her face, which unexpectedly adds a bit of femininity to her...... Dressed in an ordinary Western women's costume, she was in a depressed mood and bleak, everything was not going well, and her pride and sharpness had completely worn out her pride, so that she was on the verge of collapse, but the evil breath that was still held in her chest supported her to persist until now.
She took two steps towards where Egg and Tyrion were sitting, struggling with negative emotions such as shame and frustration, and was about to explain, but the moment she raised her eyes to see Egg's face, a wave of intense vertigo hit her, and she suddenly lost consciousness.
"Huh?" Tyrion saw that Asha was standing upright one second, but the next second she stumbled and almost fell, and was about to open her mouth to remind her to be careful with her feet, but she saw the goddess of the sea monster raise her head strangely, stared at Egger with a hideous face, and after screaming, pounced on him!
