Chapter 466: The Baratheon Family (1)
Sansa, who was finally able to break off her engagement with Joffrey, smiled behind the crowd.
Her excitement is interrupted by the ensuing Littlefinger, which reminds her that she is still a long way from true freedom.
Sansa has lived a life of humiliation in King's Landing, and she has learned to play tricks and understand that no one can be trusted.
Even if Little Finger is close to her, expressing her sincerity in wanting to take her home, she still has to refuse the other party without changing her face and heartbeat.
Sadly, most advanced players had already foreseen Robb's defeat, so Sansa's importance is self-evident.
Although the appearance of the red comet means that the real dragon is born, the life of the dragon mother is not easy.
The Blood Alliance guard Lacallo, who had been sent to explore the way, was brutally killed, and the crowd was about to starve to death on the wasteland.
At this time, one of the Blood Alliance guards brought back good news: the Thirteen Giants of Quells City were willing to receive them for the night.
When they arrived at the gate of Quells City, they found that the Thirteen Giants did not really welcome the Dragon Mother.
It wasn't until one of the Thirteen Giants, Zaro Zanwang Dassos, vouched for the Dragon Mother that they allowed the Dragon Mother and her party to enter the city.
Zaro covets the beauty of the dragon mother, and he says that as long as the dragon mother is willing to marry him, he will use his savings to help the dragon mother regain the Iron Throne.
The other members of the Thirteen Giants are also suspicious, they are not optimistic about Long Ma's development prospects, and they are unwilling to invest in her dreams.
The sorcerer also teamed up with Zaro to kill the other thirteen giants and stole the dragon mother's three dragons.
Although this kind of thief was despised in ancient times, no one would say that it would be regarded as a common conspiracy method.
In other words, you can't even look at the treasure yourself, and you don't blame others for stealing it, you blame yourself.
It's a bit of a hooligan to say that, but that's what it's like for wizards.
Instead of being ashamed, the wizard proudly told the dragon mother that he had stolen the three dragons and invited her to the Temple of Immortality.
Worried about the safety of the dragon mother, Jorah Mormont advised the dragon mother to leave by boat and not to risk her life.
The most touching thing is the appearance of the deceased husband Drogo Kao and the deceased son Rego, both of whom are the most important people to the Dragon Mother.
How she wanted to stay in this moment forever, that was the life that Long Ma wanted to live the most, but she understood that everything was a dream after all, and no matter what, there was no escape from the cruel reality.
The wizard chained the dragon mother and the three dragons, and he wanted to strengthen himself in this way.
When the three dragons spew dragon fire and burn the witch at the command of the dragon mother, we realize that dragon fire is power.
After successfully escaping, the dragon mother came to Zaro's residence, and opened the iron door only to find that there was no gold, silver and jewelry in the warehouse, and Zaro was a little man with empty gloves and white wolves.
By locking Zaro and her betrayed maid Doria into a warehouse, the Dragon Mother learns that the mighty dragon never needs to rely on anyone.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, Elder Xiong, led the Night's Watch army north, and they were stationed in Custer's territory.
It is worth mentioning that Custer has many daughters, and these daughters are also the wives who gave birth to children for him, which makes the stunned Qingxueno have a lot of complaints about Custer.
Snow gradually discovers Custer's secret: if these wives give birth to baby girls, he will stay by his side to raise them and bear them for himself; If it was a baby boy, he would sacrifice the child to the stranger.
The baby boy was raised by the Stranger and assimilated into the Stranger, so it's no wonder that Custer's daughter, Gilly, begged Sam and the other Night's Watch to take her away, as she might have been pregnant with a baby boy.
Custer spotted Snow following him and knocked him unconscious, then kicked out all the Night's Watch.
Snow informed the Commander-in-Chief of his discovery, but he didn't expect the Commander-in-Chief to know about it for a long time.
Considering that Custer had saved the Night's Watch many times, and now that they could use Custer again, Elder Bear could only turn a blind eye to this.
"Severed Palm" Colin returns to report the situation, he plans to go deep into the army of savages to assassinate Mance Red, and Snow volunteers to join Colin's team.
They captured the wild woman Ygritte alive on the way, and Snow could not bear to execute her, and lost contact with the team with the severed palm.
He could only take the captive with him all the way to find the Night's Watch with him, and deliberately kept his distance from Ygritte.
Snow was blessed with the title of "I don't know anything", and was gradually brought into the encirclement of the wildlings by Ygritte.
Severed Hands Colin was also captured by the Wildlings, and he deliberately let Snow kill him, so as to give Snow an extra chance of breaking into the Wildlings.
Colin's sacrifice had already paid off, and Ygritte had a little more trust and ambiguity with Snow, and she planned to take Snow to the Wildling camp to meet the leader Mance Red.
The other night watchmen were stationed at the Ancestral Fist Peak waiting for news, and the melancholy Eddie was still full of firepower, and every word hit the nail on the head:
In addition to chatting and complaining, Glenn, Eddie, and Sam also made an important discovery: they found a buried dragon crystal according to the marks left by the ancestors.
The three of them had an even more bizarre encounter on the Ancestral Fist Peak, and within a few days, they heard three horns sounding - the strange ghost is coming!
Glenn and Eddie leave Sam and quickly flee the scene, while the slow-moving Fat Sam can only hide in place and ask for more blessings.
The mighty army of strangers declares that winter is approaching, and humanity is about to face a catastrophe.
In fact, the most brilliant thing in the entire Blackwater River Battle is the little devil
In preparation, the little demon first asked the alchemists of King's Landing to create wildfires for him, and in the end, the alchemists created wildfires that even exceeded his expectations.
It turned out that magic could not be used because of the extinction of dragons, and the alchemist was inefficient because he did not use magic to create wildfires.
The dragon mother was reborn from the fire and let the three dragons break out of their shells, and the dragons reappeared in Game of Thrones, so that magic could be used, which greatly accelerated the efficiency of the alchemist's wildfire.
In terms of manpower, the little devil doubled the number of golden-robed guards and found eight hundred mercenaries.
In terms of information, the little devil ordered his descendants, the Alpine Clan, to attack the scouts sent by Stannis, leaving Stannis blind and unable to know the information about King's Landing.
In terms of battlefield preparations, the imp found King's Landing's weakest and weakest defense, the Mud Gate, from which he expected Stannis to attack.
So, he found someone to completely burn down the dock outside the muddy gate.
In the city, some of the Antlers rebelled, and with the help of Varys, he captured them all, tied them to trebuchets, and threw them to the Lannister army outside the city.
these
The imp also created an extra-long iron chain to use to cut off Stannis's rear.
After doing all these defensive measures, the little devil also carried out a very clever political operation to save the bottom.
He sent Prince Tommen to the city of Rossby, so that if King's Landing fell, Stannis would not be able to catch the so-called heir to the king.
(In the American drama, Tomman was not sent away, but in the original book he was.) )
Moreover, Prince Tommen is more controllable than Joffrey, and more suitable to be a king than Joffrey.
In addition to this, the little devil also sends Messira to Dorne to avoid Dorne from going to war, and at the same time sends Littlefinger to the city of Eagle's Nest to convince Raisa to join the war, so that there are two less enemies.
In the battle stage, the preparations made by the little devil in the early stage played a very good role.
Several (one ship in the play, several in the books) ships laden with wildfire sailed towards Stannis's fleet, and the flames set fire to many of the Stannis' fleet ships, and the chains behind them cut off the rear power of Stannis's ships.
The scene of the wildfire explosion in the American drama is also quite spectacular.
Despite the wildfires, Stannis's side suffered heavy casualties, but he still led a large army into King's Landing.
At this time, King's Landing encountered many crises.
For example, the Hound of the Kingsguard refused to lead his troops into battle again because of his fear of flames, while our Emperor Joffrey, out of fear, withdrew from the city walls, and suddenly the army was disheartened and King's Landing was in danger.
At the critical moment, the little demon Tyrion gives an impassioned speech, mocking the soldiers that they are not even as brave as a dwarf.
"They say I'm only half a man, so what's the shame of you?
This battle is not for the king, nor for his kingdom, nor for titles, nor for honor, nor for financial gain, for you will receive nothing.
Stannis wants to plunder your city, he breaks open your gates, and if he wants to attack you, he will burn your houses, rob your gold, and humiliate your women. —Tyrion's speech
The Imp then led his army to a brief victory, but he was mortally wounded in the course of the battle when he was assassinated by the Kingsguard Ser Mandon Moore.
The imp's stubborn resistance bought time for the Lannister and Tyrells' coalition to arrive, and once the coalition arrived, Stannis's side had no choice but to break up and flee.
It's just infuriating that Tyrion did a lot of work and was seriously wounded, and at the end of the battle, he was demoted to Chancellor of the Exchequer, and all the credit was taken by Tywin.
This also shows that Tyrion's son is really not worth mentioning in Tywin's eyes.
Regardless, Tyrion's character shines at the Battle of Blackwater, and his political and military talents are maximized.
He has neither the courage to live and die with King's Landing, but also the wisdom to coordinate and prepare in all aspects, which is why many Game of Thrones fans like the little devil so much.
The Battle of the Blackwater was the most tragic of the War of the Five Kings and the first official battle in Game of Thrones, with Stannis of House Baratheon attacking the Iron Throne army during Joffrey's reign.
In this battle, Joffrey, the lord of the Iron Throne, escaped and gave up command, and the little devil was ordered to take the lead alone.
Unfortunately, he was outnumbered, and at the moment when the city gate was breached, the combined army of his father Tywin Lannister and the Tyrells family came up with a trick of "praying mantis catching cicadas, yellow finches behind", successfully repelling Stannis's "rebels" and successfully allowing Joffrey to sit on the Iron Throne for a while longer.
But the most important significance of this battle is to popularize an important combat weapon for Game of Thrones fans, and that is wildfire.
When Stannis's fleet arrived, it was found that the opposing ship was loaded with a large amount of flammable green liquid, which could even burn continuously on the water.
The wildfire attack cost Stannis most of his forces and set the tone for his defeat.
At the same time, wildfires are also present in Cersei's war against the Sparrows, a power struggle without gunpowder, without the bloodshed of real knives and guns, because everything is reduced to ashes when the wildfire is lit.
Since then, the green flame has become a strong death signal, but this terrifying weapon may work wonders against the Alien Legions.
The weakness of the army of unravels and ghouls led by the Night King varies, and the ghouls are generally transformed from the dead, can be burned to death, and are relatively easy to attack.
The constant burning of wildfire can play a key role in attacking ghouls, and is no less powerful than Dragonmaiden's two fire dragons.
However, if you want to kill the Night King and the Wraith, you will need Dragon Crystal and Valyrian Steel.
The Battle of the Blackwater River has shown the power of wildfire, and if Cersei can take the big picture and join the human side of this life-and-death battle, then wildfire is a surprise soldier when dealing with ghouls.
However, it is a great suspense whether Cersei's army will join in time, firstly, King's Landing is already far away from Winterfell, and the Alien is almost under the city, so it is too late;
The second is that she is still thinking about the fisherman's profit and does not want to help the dragon girl win.
And the dragon girl will definitely lose at least one dragon after confronting the stranger, which has a relative advantage for her to protect the Iron Throne.
As for the other protagonist in the Battle of the Blackwater, he also has a great background, Stannis Baratheon.
The youngest of the Baratheon family was born during the War of Conquest and was founded by Auris Baratheon.
Auris Baratheon was constantly promoted due to his outstanding military achievements, and eventually became one of the right-hand men of Aegon who was the king of the whole realm at that time.
Auris Baratheon killed the Storm King (and the last Storm King) during the War of Conquest, and Aegon gave the Storm King's castle "Storm's End", a fief, and the Storm King's daughter.
Auris Baratheon married the Storm King's daughter, and at the same time inherited the Storm King's family crest and clan language, becoming the first "Duke of Storm's End".
To add a piece of cold knowledge, in fact, European royal families have always had a tradition of inheritance, and the inheritance of European royal rights depends on blood relations, and in ancient times, European people believed that the king's bloodline was noble and could not be easily replaced.
So if you don't have noble royal blood, then the only way to make you a royal is to find a member of the royal family to marry him/her.
The story of "A Song of Ice and Fire" is set in the Middle Ages in Europe, and in many ways it is set according to the customs of medieval Europe.
The succession of the royal family is part of this, and there are many more such settings in the story.
Cloth-born Auris Baratheon married the Storm King's daughter.
