Littlefinger Petyr Berish had a trademark smile on his face: "Lord Magic Mountain, Daenerys is going to attack the Iron Islands or King's Landing, can King's Landing Red Keep face and solve it?" King's Landing already has the most powerful navy and nearly 100,000 defenders. ”

"This lord is right, Demon Mountain, we should concentrate our efforts on dealing with the strange spirits. Jingle Bell said.

Jingle Shirt's words were echoed by the Freedmen and the Night's Watch.

The Freedmen and the Night's Watch had little deep feeling about the troubles of the Southerners. The threat in their minds is always the Stranger.

"We can suggest that Cersei send an emissary to make peace with Daenerys. Robb Stark also said, "The army of the Wraiths is in Hearth, and they may be marching towards Winterfell right now." ”

"Your Majesty, now that the Queen Mother Cersei is sincerely and fully supporting our Northern Alliance in the fight against the Strangers, if King's Landing is attacked, our follow-up material support and replenishment of troops will be severely damaged. Magic Mountain looked at Eddard Stark, "Lord Eddard, I know we have a suitable negotiator here, and Queen Cersei doesn't have such a person on her hands. That's why I want the coalition to send an emissary to Daenerys, and if Queen Cersei has the right person in her hands, I won't interfere in the peace negotiations with Daenerys. ”

"Who?" said Ed's cautious tone.

"Commander-in-Chief Jon Snow. Demon Mountain said slowly.

Eddard's gaze collided with the gaze of the Magic Mountain, and Ed's heart was shocked, the Magic Mountain actually knew the secret of Jon's background. He didn't even tell Robb and Lady Caitlyn the secret. But the Demon Mountain actually knew, how did he know? Unless there was a divine prophecy, which god was it? Seven gods or red gods?

Jon Snow's gaze turned on Eddard and the Demon Mountain's faces, he saw Eddard's surprise and the Demon Mountain's determination, the Demon Mountain's eyes were obviously hinted, and he was equally shocked in his heart, the Demon Mountain actually understood his true identity. The Magic Mountain's gaze is the words, and he tells Jon that he knows he's a Targaryen, but, how is that possible?

There is no doubt that the Magic Mountain is the true chosen one of God, and it is the Son of Destiny. Melisandre asserted that he was the reincarnation of Azar Ah, so it seems as if he should have known some secrets. Jon Snow's real identity is supposed to be Jon Targaryen, and Daenerys Targaryen is his own aunt whom he has never met.

"Lord Magic Mountain, where is Daenerys Targaryen at the moment?"

"She's on Valyrian Avenue. ”

"Haven't been to Pantos yet?"

"She can go to Pantos whenever she wants. ”

Jon understood that Daenerys had three dragons, and she could fly them to Pantos at any time and command the army across the Narrow Sea. She can also fly across the Narrow Sea at any time to any part of Westeros.

"Where can I go to negotiate with Daenerys?"

"Dragonstone. I will send an emissary to contact her. ”

"I'm willing to negotiate with Daenerys. Jon Snow said. He suddenly realized that his heart was eager to meet the people of his family, and after the catastrophe of the Targaryen family, only he and Daenerys were currently the only blood relatives left.

Melisandre said, "Your Majesty, Commander of the Magic Mountain, my lords, Daenerys has a lot of talent around her, and the courtiers and generals should not be underestimated. If she is determined to be on the Iron Throne, I am afraid that she will not only launch a surprise attack on the Iron Islands, but we will have to warn the Red Keep and prepare it for battle. Daenerys' Hand of the King is Tyrion Lannister, Tyrion is familiar with King's Landing, he has long led the navy of the Unsullied and Asha to the city of Pantos, if it were to attack King's Landing, Asha's fleet may have already crossed the Narrow Sea, hiding somewhere in a bay on the continent of Westeros. ”

Littlefinger Petyr Berliss smiled faintly: "Lady Melisandre, we have to believe in the hand of Queen Cersei and the King of the Red Keep, and the courtiers and generals of the Red Keep are also talents-the Minister of Intelligence, Bernie Clegane, the Grand Master of Cobain, the Earl of Rosby, and the Duchess of Jane Westerling, who rushed to King's Landing...... Commander of the garrison, Ben Ronte Blonn, Kingsguard Baron Swain, and Commander of the Navy Wagner Garr...... And your father, Count Gavin, none of whom is incompetent. ”

"Littlefinger, Daenerys has dragons, three dragons!" Jaime exclaimed. He was worried about Cersei and was not polite to Littlefinger's words, calling him by his nickname.

"Lady Jenny has brought Master Tobe Mott, Master James, who can make dragon hunting crossbows. Petyr Berish, the little finger, had a faint smile on the right corner of his mouth, as if he had deep contempt for the world.

Night, Storm's Rest.

The wind stirred up the waves and crashed on the rocks with a loud bang.

The defenders and people of Storm's End were accustomed to the sound of the wind and waves roaring until dawn.

The water conditions in Fort Wind's End are complex, and strong winds and waves are commonplace.

On the city walls, the patrolling soldiers were barely visible.

The wind was so strong that everyone shrank under the walls.

The walls of the Wind's Breath are strong, and the walls made of huge rocks are easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the upper part of the city wall, there are sunken white spots, which are the traces left by the siege of the city with a large number of trebuchets by Lord Mace Tyrell more than ten years ago - the trebuchet threw cobblestones, and the stones fell on the city wall, leaving a sunken pale white dot.

Under the north gate of Storm's End, four guards are warming themselves under the fire. After the long summer passed, as soon as the autumn arrived, the temperature dropped to a particularly strong level, especially at night, after midnight, the temperature became unusually cold, after the centurion on duty went back to the house to sleep, the four soldiers on duty lit a bonfire, and they sat around the bonfire and took a collective nap.

Shout!

A short black arrow burst through the air and thud into the neck of a soldier, the left neck went in, and the bloodshot tip of the arrow peeked out from the other side.

The warrior stumbled and threw himself into the fire, awakening the other three comrades. Before the three comrades could get up and react, three sharp short knives strangled their throats, and with a pull of the short knives, their throats were cut and blood gushed out.

The huge Storm's Rest Castle is no more than a hundred-man team of two knights. The rest of the warriors, in response to the royal family's orders, went to King's Landing to garrison.

All four soldiers at the North Gate were killed and lay in pools of blood. Several black shadow cats rushed to the city gate, and more black shadows appeared from everywhere. Judging by their attire, some of them were foreign vendors, some were sailors on foreign merchant ships anchored in the harbor of Storm's End, and some were dressed as local vegetable farmers and fishermen.

These people entered the city of Storm's End during the day, and about thirty of them, working together, opened the gates.

The click of the city gate opening was perfectly drowned out by the sound of the wind and waves of the sea, and one by one the black shadows flashed in, a steady stream, a total of ten hundred-man teams.

Best-armoured and well-trained, these warriors quickly entered the main strongholds of Storm's End, and the centurion in the barracks along the walls had no more than he could grab the hilt of his sword before his head was decapitated.

In just half an hour, the impenetrable Storm's Rest Castle was taken, and the soldiers of the 100-man army defending the city, along with their commanders, were all beheaded, and their heads were hung on the castle on all sides.

Early the next morning, the Crown Stag banner at Storm's End was replaced with seven gilded skulls.

A gilded skull, the flag of the Golden Regiment, the most famous mercenary regiment on the other side of the Narrow Sea.

*

The Golden Regiment is a mercenary group founded more than 100 years ago by the noble illegitimate son "Bitter Steel" Igor Hewen.

Igor Rivers, the half-brother of the Three-Eyed Raven Brindon River, is known as Bittersteel. He was the illegitimate son of King Aegon IV Targaryen and his fifth mistress, Lady Barba Brecken.

Igor is half Targaryen, so he has purple eyes, but his hair is black. As an adult, he has a short beard and looks like a natural warrior. He has a lean appearance, quick movements, and a tall build.

He especially loathed his half-brother Brindon Gawain (later Duke of Blood Raven, now the Three-Eyed Raven) and his mother Melissa.

When he was younger, he and Brindon Gawain fell in love with his half-sister Cyri Youngstar at the same time, but Cyri Youngstar emotionally chose the Blood Raven over him, which turned his disgust for the Blood Raven into hatred.

In Aegon 196, Daemon Blackfire, the king's rightful bastard, rebelled and fought for the Iron Throne, with Igor siding with his half-brother Daemon Blackfire against Daeron II Targaryen and Brynden Riverwin, the Blood Raven.

In the Battle of the Red Steppe, Igor commanded Daemon's right-wing army. After Daemon's death, Igor gathered his army to charge the Blood Raven's archers, armed with the Targaryens' heirloom sword, Blackfire, and took one of the eyes of his half-brother Blood Raven.

The rebellion was eventually suppressed by the Blood Ravens, and Kugang Iger took Daemon's heir, widow, and landless Blackfire to exile to the free city-state of Telosi across the Narrow Sea.

In order to survive, Igor joined the second son of the mercenary group, and the following year, he gathered all the old divisions of the Black Fire who were in exile on the other side of the Narrow Sea and created the mercenary organization Golden Regiment.

While most mercenary organizations are notorious and extremely unreliable, the Golden Regiment has a good reputation. Bitter Steel Igor never breaks the covenant and puts his name in the slogan: Gold on top, Bitter Steel on the bottom.

In less than a year, the Golden Regiment had made a name for itself in the free trade city-state. Due to the refusal of the free trade city-state of Kohor to fulfill the contract, it took only three days for the Golden Regiment to take over the free trade city-state, and the Golden Order became famous as the most powerful mercenary group in the free trade city-state, and no employer dared to pay the bills.

In Aegon 236, Aegon landed in Westeros at Cape Marseille with the Golden Order and Dimon III to launch the fourth Blackfire Rebellion, which by this time had few allies in Westeros, and this rebellion failed at a faster rate than the previous three.

The rebels were completely routed at the Battle of the Wende River Bridge, and the rebel King Daemon Blackfire III was also killed. Bittersteel escapes again, and he returns to Telosi. As he lay dying, Bittersteel had the flesh from his skull boiled and plated in gold, and the flagpole of the flag would be hung on the flagpole of the military flag when he crossed the sea to reclaim Westeros, and he wanted to see the Golden Order return to Westeros and see the heir reclaim the Iron Throne.

What Igor didn't expect was that his move had formed a tradition of the Golden Regiment: before his death, the leaders of the regiment had ordered his men to gild their skulls and hang them on a high flagpole. Later, the Golden Skull became the military flag of the Golden Regiment.

Starting with Iger, the Golden Regiment has passed through seven commanders, so the banner of the Golden Regiment has become seven gilded skulls.

Early in the morning, the nobles and people in the Storm's Breath Castle were all rushed to the martial arts arena.

Around the arena, a thousand warriors and fifty knights stood together.

A fat man was surrounded by elite knights and stood on a viewing platform in the arena. He is the current head of the Golden Regiment, Harry Stryclan, alias "Homeless" Harry.

Harry didn't look like a warrior at all, but like a wealthy businessman with a big heart and a fat body. He has a large round head, light gray eyes, and thinning hair that he combs sideways to hide his bald head.

Harry Stryclan's great-grandfather lost his family fief due to his support of Daemon Blackfire's rebellion, so three generations from Harry's grandfather were born across the Narrow Sea and raised in the Golden Order. He likes to boast that his family is a family of mercenaries who have been loyal to the Golden Order for "four generations".

Before the death of the previous Black-Hearted Captain 'Mith Toin', Harry served as the Treasurer of the Regiment.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do not be afraid, my name is Harry Stryclan, the leader of the Golden Order. Maybe you're not familiar with me personally, but that's okay, I'm going to introduce you to a big guy you're all familiar with, King Aerys Targaryen's former Prime Minister: Jon Clinton. ”

The nobles and people in the martial arts arena really looked strange, and people who were a little older knew Jon Clinton's name.

*

During the time of the Mad King Aerys Targaryen, after the Hand of the King, Duke Tywin left King Aerys and returned to the West, there were three Hand of Kings, the most famous of which was Jon Clinton.

Jon Clinton, a vassal of House Baratheon, Earl of Stormlands Vulton's Nest, patriarch of House Clinton, and former Hand of King Aerys II. He was one of the close friends who followed Rhaegar Targaryen. He had no brothers. Exiled for the defeat of the Battle of the Bells, he went into exile in Essos after the war, and joined the Golden Regiment under the alias "Griffin", where he served for five years and became the most trusted right hand of Blackheart Thoon, and if he did not leave later, he would be the new head of the Golden Regiment.

Clinton was fired for stealing gold from the Golden Regiment, and it was later rumored that he fell into the sea drunk and died.

But being expelled for stealing gold and falling into the sea while drunk are false rumors, which were deliberately spread by the Minister of Intelligence, Varys the Octopus Spider, to deceive the entire continent of Westeros.

Jon Clinton was a feared enemy of Eddard Stark, Robert Baratheon, Jon Arryn, Horst Tully, and others.

In the Battle of Ringing Bells that year, Jon Clinton besieged Robert Baratheon, in order not to hurt the innocent, he besieged Shitang Town, and rang the bell to let the innocent people close the doors and windows to hide, and then launched an attack, so the Battle of Shitang Town is also known as the Battle of Ringing Bells.

The bell tells the people that their act of kindness has delayed precious time, and when Eddard Stark, Jon Arryn, and Horst Tully reinforcements arrive, Eddard, Arryn, Horst, and Robert come out together to defeat Jon Clinton. Jon Clinton lost his only chance to kill Robert, and because of this battle, he was removed from the hands of King Aerys and exiled to the other side of the Narrow Sea.

Harry Stryclan snapped his hands, thousands of soldiers applauded together, and the nobles and people in the square stiffened their applause together.

A tall man with wrinkled eyes but an unusually resolute face appeared on the platform, with long gray and red hair. He looks sophisticated but cautious in his eyes, but as he stares at you, a suffocating sense of danger lingers.

Life in exile abroad has made Jon more sophisticated and brutal.

Jon Clinton was both civil and military, and because of his loyalty to the royal family and his outstanding warrior, Aerys II Targaryen deposed Owen Marryweiss and appointed him Hand of the King.

During the Battle of Bells, Clinton could have easily besieged Stone Hall and ordered the entire town and the hidden Robert in the town to be burned, in order to end the rebellion before Eddard Stark and Horst Tully and Jon Arryn would have led rebel reinforcements to arrive, just as Tywin Lannister would have done, however, as Tywin said, it was too dishonorable for him to kill innocent men, women, and children, so Clinton did not do it, but intended to kill Robert personally in glory to go down in history.

Because of his 'benevolence', Robert sat on the Iron Throne, and the Targaryen royal family, to which he was allegiated, came to an end.

But Jon Clinton's name still makes Ed Stark and other older generations who have experienced the war of the usurpers linger.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Jon Clinton, and I am now back with Aegon V, Rhaegar Targaryen's heir to the throne. The child who was killed by the Magic Mountain in the nursery room of the royal palace was not Rhaegar Targaryen's child, Aegon, he had been replaced by Lord Varys, and it was just a child of a commoner's family. Now Tomman Baratheon I on the Iron Throne is nothing more than the illegitimate son of Cersei and Jaime's incestuous bastard, an ugly and discredited puppet king, and the real king is just outside the castle of Storm's End, guarded by a great army, and he will soon come. I'll show you the true King Aegon Targaryen, so who is the acting lord of Storm's End?"

"I am!" an old man stepped up.

"Master Neam Chester. ”

"Yes, Master Jon. ”

"What about the Baratheons?"

"Robert, Stannis, and Blue Rite are all dead, and Robert has no queen, Joffrey is dead of Robert's three children, Tomman and Messira are in King's Landing, Her Majesty Shireen, Stannis's princess is at the Wall, and Edric Storm, the legitimate illegitimate son recognized by Robert, has also been taken away. ”

"Who is the castle lord here now?"

"Tommen Baratheon I. ”

"No, Neam Chester, that's not Tommen Baratheon I, that's Tommen Lannister. Neam Chester, will you lead all the people of Storm's End and kneel down to welcome Aegon V Targaryen into Storm's End?"

“...... Yes, Master Jon...... We surrender ......"
