Chapter 0425: Urgently recruit Will to return to King's Landing
"Dragons, dragons of House Targaryen?" Stannis I's eyes flashed.
The Targaryens conquered Westeros with dragons, and now, dragons have reappeared.
"How many dragons, and in whose hands are they?"
"The three dragons, the little dragons, are not yet capable of fighting, they are in the hands of a mercenary legion. ”
"Mercenaries, descendants of the Black Fire, Golden Knights. Stannis's voice sharpened.
The blood of the Targaryen family has not been broken, and if the dragon reappears, they will inevitably fight for the Iron Throne.
"I don't know the specific details, Your Majesty, the dragon did appear, and it is estimated that it is also related to the bloodline of the Targaryen family. Clerson said. After the old man coughed for a while, he looked at Melisandre with a uncertain expression: "Red Witch, you boast that your flames are omnipotent, so have you seen the appearance of the dragon?"
Melisandre said, "The flames have not yet revealed the prophecy of the dragon, but I know that the dragon will appear, just as the long summer has passed, and winter and darkness will soon come." Winter will bring us cold, despair, and strangers. And the appearance of the dragon is the will of Rahlo, the dragon is a magical creature with flames as its soul, and he is the child of the red god Rahlo. ”
"But this boy will come to take His Majesty's Iron Throne. Clison snorted coldly.
"He won't, I'll cross the Narrow Sea to meet the dragon's master, I know the true mission of the dragon's appearance, and when the comet weeps blood, it hints at the dragon's birth. Without dragons, we mortals would not be able to stop the invasion of ghouls and strangers. Compared to the extermination and strangulation of the human race by the aliens, the battle for the Iron Throne is insignificant. ”
"Your Majesty, do you believe the nonsense of this red witch?" Chrisson was so angry that his whole body trembled.
"Eddard Stark, Will Cao, Robb Stark, and others have all confirmed that the long summer followed the cold winter will bring strange spirits. Stannis I regained his composure, "But we must first find a way to deal with the descendants of House Targaryen, who have dragons and will inevitably come first to snatch the Iron Throne." ”
"Your Majesty, it takes at least one year for a dragon to grow before it has combat effectiveness, I will definitely solve the problem of the dragon for Your Majesty, Your Majesty don't worry. I also developed the Red Temple to arouse the power of the believers so that the Red God can respond more to our prayers. All of this is done to prepare for the arrival of winter. ”
"Nonsense. Scholar Crisson almost wanted to stand up and beat Melisandre with his cane, "You have offended the wrath of God by eradicating the Sacred Tree Forest and demolishing the Seven Sacred Churches for your own selfishness, and you will be condemned." Red Witch, this is not the continent of Essos, this is the continent of Westeros, this is the territory of the Seven Gods, not the Red God. ”
"The Red God is everywhere, and he is the only true God in the world. Melisandre smiled.
Her smile made the old bachelor even angrier.
"Don't quarrel, I need to find someone with Varys' skills, and we need to send someone across the Narrow Sea to build a network of intelligence in the free trade city-state on the other side. Stannis I said in a deep voice.
"Send for Littlefinger, Your Excellency. "Littlefinger is no worse than Varys, and his brothel is his intelligence station." ”
"Buying strangers or recalling Will. Melisandre said.
Stannis's heart moved: "Why not the two together?After the Encyclopedia Knight was killed by Gregor Clegane during the King's Landing tournament, Lan Li used the stranger to kill many of the Lannisters' red robes in order to take revenge, and Will's ability ...... His shapeshifting skills are indeed much more sophisticated than Varys. ”
"Will's other abilities are also very powerful, only stronger than Varys, Your Majesty. When he was your prime minister and the whole country, there was nothing he failed to solve. Melisandre spoke bitterly. Will was the only person other than Melisandre who knew the truth about the Stranger, and he had persuaded Melisandre to join him in the Inquisition to plot against the Stranger, but Melisandre refused.
Now that the dragon has appeared, Melisandre needs help if the Targaryens are only bent on fighting for the Iron Throne and don't believe in the Strangers.
The news of the dragon's appearance can be unsettling, and the people of Westeros are not afraid of dragons, which is a sign that the Targaryens will make a comeback, and in the court, she needs Will's great help.
Ever since Eddard Stark said that there were two battles in the flames, Melisandre had felt that she might be going in the wrong direction. Will had warned her when he had left King's Landing, telling her that she was going in the wrong direction, and that she couldn't listen at all, not at all. At that time, all that swelled in her heart was disgust and hostility towards Will.
The bet she made with Will came to mind as if it had happened yesterday.
"Okay, recall Will, Varys' position has been idle for too long. Stannis also hated Will in his heart, but hatred is a personal emotion, and recalling Will for the Iron Throne and for the country are two different things.
Aside from his unquenchable hatred for the Tyrells, who had besieged him for a year, Stannis I was not a man of will, and he had a clear distinction between public and private.

Robb, dressed as a peasant, walked down the avenue between the rivers and followed the Red Fork River all the way to the west.
His elite team was broken into pieces, and under the leadership of Will, Robb, and Big Jon, the army divided into three routes and headed west. And the legions that remained as feints still slowly moved towards King's Landing, and set up camp after walking a few miles every day.
There are warships in the western Lannith harbor, and when the warships of the Iron Islands set out to raid the northern border, Will will suddenly appear, seize the warships from the west and sail to the Iron Islands, carry out siege warfare, according to His Majesty's military orders, burn the Iron Islands to a blank field, and kill all the iron people who refuse to swear allegiance.
There are no ships in the north, and it will take at least a month for a ship to get around the Westeros continent from east to west, and Lannisport departs for the Iron Islands, which is smooth and close, and it is lightning fast.
"Lord Robb, a letter from King's Landing. The military master handed the letter to Robb.
Robb saw that Stannis I had summoned Wilden to discuss important matters in King's Landing, and there was no delay. This was a particularly urgent military order, and Will was to leave as soon as he received the letter. Robb did not dare to call the shots, and immediately beckoned Harris Moran to deliver the letter to Lord Will himself.
Will was the front army, and with dozens of people in disguise, he walked along the Red Fork River through the Tully family's Rushing City, and was preparing to cross the river at the crossing of the Red Fork River.
Not far ahead, a hundred miles away, is the border mountain range in the west, and in the middle of the road is a city, which is the Golden Tooth City that once blocked the Eddard Stark coalition army.
Behind Will's gang of men were brothers disguised as peasants, hunters, fishermen, freedmen, free riders, and mercenary legions, in groups of thirty or fifty men, or twenty or thirty men, scattered and stretched for dozens of miles.
Will and Robb the Great Jon lead a surprise army of 3,000 men to make a big bend and attack the Iron Islands from Lannisport in the west.
During the day, they walked slowly, with more time to rest and less time to hurry, but at night, they marched in a hurry, and they did not stop all night. Still, the real military purpose, the generals and soldiers remained in the dark.
Everyone made a lot of money in the battle in the West last time, so in this night march to the West, everyone is full of energy.
