Team battles can be lost, ...... Euron must die.

This was the core of the Battle of Blackwater that Iger presented to Daenerys.

The Iron Fleet that was killed halfway out of the way did disrupt the rhythm and planning of the Queen's forces to attack King's Landing, and even Egger did not expect that a group of pirates would be able to appear outside Blackwater Bay as if they had been waiting for a long time when communication technology was so backward, becoming Stannis's de facto lifesaver.

Neither the Northern Fleet in White Harbor nor the anti-ship wildfire bombs in Icegap Harbor that have been improved and matured several times, he did not bring the Southern ...... How to break this game without a new force and killer weapons to use really gave him, a fake general who is addicted to cheating and accustomed to unequal combat, a headache and trouble for a moment.

But just like countless times in the past, after a good night's sleep, I woke up from rest, and my bad thoughts suddenly became clear.

Everyone, from the very beginning, was derailed by Daenery's ribbon!

She wanted a way to win both the Battle of Blackwater and King's Landing with minimal casualties - if that didn't work at all, would she have to force her to come up with one?

He is Daenerys's supporter, and his goal is to put her on the Iron Throne, and through her, he will seize status, interests, and realize his ambitions and ambitions, but not to be her father and fulfill all her wishes to spoil this little queen to heaven!

The way to break the game is actually in his head, not only can it be summed up in one word, but he even used it just in the north.

Surround the point to help!

Strategy is dead, but people are alive.

King's Landing is there, and it won't disappear if it is taken one day later, but it is Euron, who has decided to oppose the queen, even if he does not have the right time this time, when the land giveaway army captures the capital of the Seven Kingdoms and then reopens, and marches southwest to deal with the river bend, sooner or later it will come from the sea to constantly disgust the reborn Targaryen dynasty.

Instead of chasing and catching him like a cat and mouse in the future, it is better to take advantage of him to send him to the door this time and simply eradicate this aftermath first!

......

After convincing Daenerys to abandon the naïve idea of fighting on both land and sea at the second meeting, there was a lot of room for manoeuvre, and the cards they could play were suddenly abundant.

First of all, the Unsullied and Land-Granting artillery secretly evacuated the siege front line during the night.

After the Dorne army was also clearly under the Queen's command, the number of besieging troops outside King's Landing was actually quite sufficient, and unless Stannis led his army out of the city for a decisive battle, it was impossible to see the difference between 35,000 and 30,000 just by standing on the top of the city and looking through a telescope.

At the same time, the Dragonstone fleet was summoned from the distant mouth of Blackwater Bay to the seaport of Duskdale, which was more than a day's journey from King's Landing.

It seems that the sea supremacy has been abandoned, but in fact, in the new fleet station, the elite forces that have been secretly mobilized here have been stuffed into the ships in one go, and the Queen's sea power has been temporarily upgraded from an "armed fleet" to a "large navy" (at least in terms of tonnage and staffing).

In the end, thousands of catties of freshly mixed black powder were also transported to the port with animal power, and were carried onto the "Invincible Iron Bell", which filled its most spacious and safe middle cabin, making it the first self-detonating battleship in the world of ice and fire, and preparing for Asha Greyjoy's unsuccessful surprise attack.

Unlike land battles, morale and numbers don't play a huge role, hardware, experience, and the right command are the key, and it's only natural for a giant ship full of scrappy knights to be sunk by a few nimble and sophisticated longships flying kites. In order to suppress the enemy's strengths and avoid its own shortcomings, the Queen's fleet also made targeted arrangements in the specific tactics of this naval battle, the core of which can be briefly described as two points: first, to use the presence of artillery to extinguish the opponent's idea of fighting a war of attrition; second, to rely on half of the fleet filled with the unsullied to contain the Stannis royal navy, so as to deliberately expose flaws and lure the entire iron fleet to attack.

It's light to say, but this plan actually carries a huge risk.

As long as any of these links go wrong or do not develop as planned: for example, the combat power of the royal fleet is stronger than expected, for example, the self-detonating battleship is sunk and exploded by the ballista first in the middle of the charge, such as Euron is careful and does not take the lead...... Either way, the ultimate failure to achieve tactical objectives could turn the battle into a refreshed defeat for all enemies and opponents, and your side would not only lose the Innocent and Artillery, but also face a large number of potential opponents and wall-riders who would rekindle their confidence and courage to resist.

The danger of this gamble was so great that even Iger was mentally prepared for failure, so he only offered a plan to the queen through the mouth of Asha, without personally speaking, recommending or guaranteeing it, or even establishing a military warrant - anyway, with Daenerys's character, he would have decided to take the risk no matter what.

This move achieved self-protection, but it also made the credit for winning the bet also a little less than the credit that was shared on his head...... Fortunately, Egger already has a lot of military merit in his pocket now, and there are still a lot of opportunities to earn it in the future, so he doesn't feel distressed if he loses it at all.

＊＊＊

There were no revelries, no celebratory receptions, and the Queen's siege camp outside the walls of King's Landing was a bustling atmosphere and a sense of slaughter.

Stannis must have felt that he had been harshly tricked when the sea battle broke out in Blackwater Bay the day before yesterday when the besieging forces did not launch a general assault on King's Landing, but tomorrow, when the Unsullied and Artillerymen transferred to the navy rejoined the siege line, whether it was windy and snowy or knives falling from the sky, it would be the last day of the Baratheon dynasty's existence.

Everyone tensed their nerves for the final preparations.

Iger is in charge of the attack on the Western Front, the Gods, the Lion and the King's Three Gates and the two middle sections of the city wall, and the planning and deployment have been completed, only one last review is needed, and he can rest and wait for the battle after dawn tomorrow.

"My lord, Asha Greyjoy is outside the castle and asks for your reception. ”

What are you doing again?

Asking for credit? I found the wrong person.

Say thank you, and don't pick and choose!

"Let it in, arrange room and board, and tell her I'll see her again when I take King's Landing. ”

Egger was busy, he was a pragmatist, and this woman might have a knack for naval warfare, but he couldn't believe that she could help in tomorrow's general assault on King's Landing. Unfortunately, after refusing once, the woman came to the Commander-in-Chief's residence a moment later, and still insisted on seeing him.

After a while, seeing that this girl really risked her life to get rid of the trouble in her heart, Egger finally relented.

......

"Commander-in-chief, forgive your subordinates late at night, the journey from Rosby City is a bit long, and the road is a little muddy after the snow melts. ”

Asha walked into the room with a sack and apologized.

"It's good to know that it's bothered, it's not too early, let's get straight to the point. ”

This girl claims to be a subordinate, obviously trying to get close, but in her capacity as the second female night watchman, it doesn't seem to be a problem to say so. Since she admitted the relationship between her superiors and subordinates, Egger's answer was not polite...... Of course, the tone must have lost the coldness and impatience of the past, after all, it was a person who had just made a great contribution in front of him.

"A trophy that my subordinates felt that only you were entitled to enjoy, and that it was best to have it delivered to you before the assault on King's Landing began, so I had traveled all day to get here from the seaside. As she spoke, the girl lifted the bag in her hand and turned it upside down.

Something slammed to the ground with a crisp sound of metal clashing.

Although the movement was noisy, the contents of her pocket must have been checked by the guards before she entered the house, and Egg sat quietly waiting for the other party to explain, but Melisandre, who had been staying by the fireplace, meditating on the fire and performing the duties of "mage guard", turned her head and exclaimed in surprise after seeing what was on the ground: "Dragon Steel Armor?"

Even though it was only a short word, Egger raised his eyebrows instantly.

It was the Valyrian steel armor that Euron wore, and Melisandre called it "dragon steel"—a small detail that suggests that it was most likely made of genuine Valyrian steel used by the dragon kings of the Valyrian Empire in the past, rather than the monkey version of the steel used by the native nobles who fooled people and had a lot of money.

Such a piece of dragon steel armor, even at the peak of the Valyrian Empire's most prosperous and powerful, was a treasure that only a few of the most powerful families were entitled to own, and its value was enough to buy a small kingdom. And after the apocalypse, it has become a priceless and marketless legend, which only exists in the record...... Before Euron appeared wearing it, there were no rumors about it, let alone seeing it.

And now, it is such a treasure, not only lying quietly on the floor in front of his desk, but also listening to the breath of the owner, or give it to himself!?

Asha didn't answer Melisandre's words, but threw away the sack and picked up the thing that had been poured out with both hands—it was a scale armor, black as ink in the dim light of the room, but with a slight shimmering golden light, what could it be if it wasn't dragon steel armor?

His expression remained unchanged, but his heart was no longer at peace, and Egger stood up from behind the table, walked around to the front, and carefully examined the treasure with Melisandre, who had also come closer.

The Night's Watch was also dressed in black, but this one was different, it was so dark that it seemed to absorb light, and if it weren't for the red gold on the edges of each of the scales that made up the whole, and there were some clearly visible patterns and symbols on it, it looked like a piece of black had been deducted from view. Melisandre reached out to touch her, but Asha happily handed it to her.

"It's not just a piece of dragon armor. Melisandre caressed its surface with one hand and the other with her fingertips brushing the runes on it, not hiding her surprise in the slightest, "There are also several protective spells on it that are impossibly constant, not only invulnerable, but also shielding common curse-type spells, as long as the wearer still has magic in their body...... Damn, is that all there is to it? what about the helmet, visor, gloves, and bottoms?"

"I don't know, I've never seen a crow's eye pass through, and there's a good chance he didn't get it. That's great, you're asking too much, aren't you!" Asha rolled her eyes at the witch, took back the scales, and handed it to Egger with a smug look that could not be concealed.

It's so light.

This was Egg's first thought after he got his hands on it, it was a bit of a tyrannical thing, he really didn't know anything about spells, and he could only draw conclusions about this scale armor based on its physical characteristics. It includes the upper torso and two arms, which weigh less than ten pounds together, and a little finger can be lifted, which is as light as nothing compared to the breastplate made of steel plates on the body, but it also has a protective ability that is difficult to beat...... It's light and sturdy, and it's a boon to a coward like him who can't wait to sleep and doesn't take off his protective gear.

Melisandre really has reason to regret and ask, if such armor can be put together a complete set of armor, wouldn't the wearer be invulnerable to magic and invulnerable, like an invincible hanger?

(If you can get this scale armor before the war between humans and ghosts, then the number of "Lightbringers" will probably not be seventy-seven, but seven-hundred-seven.) ）

Shaking off this somewhat funny thought, Egger frowned and became curious: "The version I saw in the morning is that you sank Euron to the bottom of the sea and drowned...... Was the report misdescribed, or did you look for a needle in a haystack and fished Croweye's body out of Blackwater?"
