"Maturity dare not say, but the plan ...... Indeed, there were. Bolton flicked his wrist, "However, now that the land-giving army has headed south for Winterfell, these plans have become meaningless. Egger West is a thoughtful person, and since he must have been fully prepared and confident in sending troops, I am not at all worried that the Stark family's plan can still pose a threat to His Majesty's dragons, but I am beginning to worry about another matter- The Night's Watch has always had a close relationship with the Stark family, and the Commander-in-Chief has a personal relationship with the Young Wolf Lord and his little sister, so I am afraid that after he besieges or takes Winterfell, he will not be able to ruthlessly attack those diehards, but will only coerce Winterfell to change banners through coercion and inducement, so that too many people who do not really support her will be mixed in the Queen's ranks, which will hinder Your Majesty's future unification and reform, and lay the foundation for failure!"

"Hmm......" Varys pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Indeed, the probability of this situation is quite high, and I think Lord Bolton has a good solution to it?"

"I suggest that the queen either go around the north and return south despite the Night's Watch, or she should leave as soon as possible and personally arrive at the front line of Winterfell to supervise the battle, and confirm for herself whether the Stark family is really willing to bend the knee and swear allegiance, so as not to let the commander-in-chief be influenced by his subordinates and feelings and make a big mistake!" Luce Burton's eyes sharpened, "I see that there is no military camp outside the walls of Hearthcity in the end, and the number of the queen's personal army must not be large, and the Castle of Terror has been reorganized by thousands of elites, I am willing to immediately transfer troops to escort Your Majesty on the trip!"

"It's very good, my lord has a heart. This was true, and Varys sincerely bowed his gratitude to him, although five hundred Unsullied and two dragons were enough to deal with most of the threats from the regular army, but it would be better if another force were on guard on the periphery or at the front to increase the insurance factor. "In addition to that, I have another question - when the Stark family was planning the 'Dragon Slaying Operation', could they also assign the task of making dragon hunting crossbows to the Horror Castle?"

"Yes, but after we got the drawings, we were only pretending, and we didn't build a real dragon hunting crossbow!" Worried that the eunuch was questioning his intentions, Bolton hurriedly explained.

"I don't doubt that. Varys waved his hand kindly, "My advice is to send a message to the Ravens of Winterfell to warn the Stark Night's Watch that they have headed south, and to tell Robb that you have completed a small batch of dragon hunting crossbows, which will allow you to sneak around the Land-Granting Blade and sneak up on the last Hearthplace to destroy the Queen's dragons." ”

(Worthy of an octopus!) Burton thought to himself - even if Varys didn't say it, he would do it. He had waited countless days for the day when he would rise up against the Stark family, and naturally he had considered all kinds of situations, but the eunuch in front of him had thought of the best way to kill the wolf family in a moment of lightning!

"Why is that?" Although his heart was as bright as a mirror, Bolton still showed puzzlement on his face - everyone likes to enjoy a sense of intellectual superiority, and occasionally pretending to be stupid will make it easier for people to let down their guard and trust themselves, "Wouldn't I send a message to Winterfell, wouldn't I put Lord Egger in danger as he went south?"

"Winterfell's patrols have been operating in the wolf grove not far to the south, and passing land-giving armies will soon be discovered, but just a few days will not be enough for the northern princes to come and defend the feudal lord. If you take the initiative to warn at this time, not only will it not have a negative impact on the situation, but it will also make the Stark family trust your loyalty even more. Varys didn't bother to guess whether Bolton really couldn't see the truth or was playing a trick, and explained cooperatively: "As for the plan that follows...... You must know that if the queen really has the heart, it will be easy to take Winterfell. You and I both know that Egger is friendly with the wolves, and he hurried south to rescue them not so much as to surprise them - in case Winterfell was declaring allegiance to the queen under siege and pressure from the land-grant army, it would be as you said: to let Her Majesty's ranks be mixed in with people who did not really support her. ”

"Ah, I see!" Naturally, it is not advisable to blindly pretend to be stupid, and Bolton, who was almost in the same heat, made a sudden expression: "As long as I pretend to take the dragon hunting crossbow to go around the dragon that will deal with His Majesty and her later, the people in Winterfell will still have illusions about the direction of the war, and they will not give in and will stick to the city." And if the gates of the city are still closed and the three-headed dragon flag of the Targaryen family has not yet been hung on the walls by the time the queen arrives in Winterfell in person, then the stark family's stubborn face will be completely exposed to His Majesty's eyes!"

"It is precisely so, although the means are slightly despicable, but for the country and the people...... That's the best option we have right now. Varys nodded approvingly, "However, since the land-giving army is so racing against time, I suggest that you also take the time to leave for the Castle of Terror immediately, seize the time to gather your army, and return to the queen with the troops." ”

As the Earl of the Castle of Terror, I have come all the way to surrender, but because I didn't bring the army, I don't even have the right to see the queen in person?

Luce Bolton was secretly unhappy in his heart, but he really wanted to go to the queen to find a way out, and he had to rely on the eunuch in front of him to ensure that the Stark family was overthrown, and the other party refused to introduce him now, so he naturally couldn't draw his sword and put it on Varys's neck to force him to take him into the city, and after a little thought, he readily agreed: "Okay, then I won't bother more, and I'll leave immediately." I wish you all the best, Lord Varys!"

(Everything is going well? This time, it's just that everything is not going well!)

Although these words sounded a bit harsh and even like sarcasm and curse at this moment, Varys clearly understood that it was just his own delusion, and could only smile kindly and greet him in return: "I wish you a safe journey home, Lord Burton." ”

＊＊＊

Luce Bolton turned back to his horse, beckoned to his guards, turned over his mount with his men, nodded to Varys, and without hesitation, turned back the way he came. The snow and wind did not increase or decrease, and their backs were soon gradually covered in white and disappeared from view in the ice crystals blown by the air current.

"Alright, let's go back too. ”

After standing there for a moment to see the guests go, Varys also beckoned the Unsullied Ones who had been escorted and turned to the castle.

Frankly speaking, Varys has no ill feelings towards the wolf family, and even has a slight respect and liking, after all...... If everyone in the world were as decent and simple-minded as the Starks, then a conspirator like himself would simply live in heaven. The reason why he will help the Bolton family to subvert Stark this time is simply because: it is better to settle for the next best thing than to get nothing. With the land-granting army suddenly attacking and the Queen's plan to return south likely to go bankrupt, he urgently needs an effective stop-loss plan - and taking advantage of the influence in the north is the most tempting option.

Speaking of the influence of taking over this land that occupies one-third of the territory of the Seven Kingdoms, those two cold and regrettable facts are placed in front of the eight-clawed spider: First, the original leader family, no matter how upright or simple-minded, the independence and wide love and support brought about by its "orthodoxy" doomed them not to look at outsiders but only to make decisions based on their own interests, and it takes a lot of energy to control. Second, at present, his biggest rival in the queen's palace, Petyr Berish, has a much stronger relationship with the Stark family than himself, and if he does not get rid of the wolf family, one of the seven kingdoms in the north will inevitably become a helper for others and a stumbling block for himself.

Two reasons, any one is enough for people to have murderous intent, and they are all accounted for...... Defeating the boss and supporting the second child is the most beneficial choice for yourself.

No matter how scheming and shrewd this guy is, he will have to face hostility and opposition from the remaining families after replacing the Stark family - his precarious position means that he needs the support of outside forces, and if he accepts it, he will inevitably need to be repaid in other ways. The change of ownership of the North not only turns it into its own political resource, but also makes it a threat to the new dynasty in the future through turmoil and chaos - whether the king is Daenerys or Aegon can kill two birds with one stone!

......

After going through his mind to make sure that there was no logical problem with his hasty choice, Varys retracted his thoughts about the North and turned his brain to something more important—reflection.

Is it really an accidental misfortune or something that goes wrong?

Whether it is the Queen's recent surprise strike on the historic meeting with Prince Aegon, or the imminent change in the plan to return south, the root of it lies in the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, Iger West, and the causes, developments, and consequences of the two "accidents" are clear and unambiguous, and there seems to be no doubt. But digging a little deeper, the first valuable piece of self-reflection quickly came to light.

The queen attaches great importance to the guy named Egger, and Varys has long been aware of this, in addition to the fact that the content of the book "The Monarch (I)" he presented is really incendiary enough and has an appetite for Daenerys, in fact, there is also a very important factor - as a monarch, Daenerys probably feels that there is still a lack of characters in her camp who can take the stage.

The Queen's members so far include the Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer, Petyr Berish, the Chief of Intelligence, Varys, the Commander of the Unsullied and the Free People, the Grey Bugs, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Grolay, and a number of other officials in charge of the rest of the chores...... Littlefinger has long since become a bad name in Westeros, the "Octopus Spider" is clearly not a good name, the Unsullied is a distasteful former slave to the inhabitants of the Seven Kingdoms, and the rest are either foreigners or nobodies...... Daenerys left her favorite Dario Naharis in Meereen instead of bringing her back to Westeros, wasn't it because her maturing political acumen made her realize that a handsome mercenary captain who worked hard in bed could not help him reclaim the Seven Kingdoms, and that her status as a concubine would damage her image as a queen?

Compared to this gang of chaotic people, the Alien Slayer, the commander-in-chief of the defenders of the Wall, the creator of the Night's Watch industry, and the hero who leads the Blackshirts against the Wildlings and Ghouls...... Egger West, who has brought together so many images in one, is obviously much more on the stage.

[I want to fight for a positive character to support the scene and prove that I am not a bad person. There's nothing wrong with the idea, it's just a little bit of a misalignment. —This was Vaerys' initial judgment of Daenerys' importance to the Night's Watch. Now, with a few days of arriving at the Great Wall and the land grant, and after seeing it for itself and talking face-to-face with the Night's Watch soldiers, it's time to witness the land-grant army crossing the border and raiding Winterfell...... When he came back to his senses and pondered it, he was surprised to find that many of the rumored descriptions of the foreign commander-in-chief were not fictional exaggerations.

The queen is probably more sober and assertive than she imagined, such a strongman with ideas and courage, strong soldiers and flexible minds, is indeed worthy of her favor and fight for it at any cost!

Continuing to dig for relevant information centered on Egger West, the second result also came to mind: his big game of chess began to go wrong, and it seemed that this night watchman came to King's Landing.

Could it be that this guy has been making trouble all along?

Varys shook his head and threw the thought out of his mind - it didn't make sense, Egger was just a night watchman at the time, and he had no reason or ability to interfere with his plans, so instead of speculating suspiciously, he should continue to look for problems with himself, and see if there was anything else wrong with his performance during this time.

The reflection still quickly paid off: in the past few months, he has been too anxious, either persuading Daenerys and Aegon to marry to achieve the ultimate goal once and for all, or competing with Littlefinger for the weight of words in front of the queen, but ignoring the emergence of other variables and potential opponents in the outside world. When the commander-in-chief successfully takes Winterfell and the North as a vote and then officially joins the queen's command, I am afraid that he will instantly become one of the most important figures close to Daenerys. At that time, according to the queen's consistent attention and favor to this person, the situation in the imperial council will change from "two strong rivalries" to "three-legged support" in an instant!

And the more capable people the queen has around her, the more her dependence on herself, the Minister of Intelligence, and her desire for the support of Prince Aegon and his golden group, will be more and more diluted and weakened!

Varys, who suddenly realized this, broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, and immediately forced himself to calm down and think about countermeasures: how sure can he win over this dark horse that is about to squeeze into the queen's palace?

Judging from the political tendencies shown in the book "The Monarch", Egger and himself are probably not all the same, and looking at interpersonal relationships and social circles, the probability of becoming friends with each other is not very large......

In this way, there is a third reason for dealing with the Starks.

Those who are difficult to win over must be weakened - only by frustrating Egger's plan to conquer the North for Daenerys can his abilities and weight in the eyes of the queen be reduced, and in addition to reducing his own threat, I am afraid that he will have to think of some more ways to drive a wedge between him and Littlefinger, so that these two "Stark friends" do not come together against him...... to ensure that the situation is not maintained in a direction that is contrary to one's expectations.

The things to do were clear, but his feelings were quite bad: because, again, he seemed to be scrambling to deal with the unexpected.

"Damn it!"

Whining in a whisper that no one could hear, Varys grimaced and without looking back, walked into the gate that had finally opened in Hearthtown, and went to report to Daenerys...... Good news that the Burton family took the initiative to come down.
