Chapter 0994: Lip Gun Demon Mountain Has Wisdom
Jaime looked at Theon, looked at him for a moment, didn't say a word, and rolled over his horse.
Theon smiled and rolled over his horse.
Ahead, the soldiers opened the way.
Several horses followed Jaime in front and back, trotting to the shouts of the soldiers.
Jaime looked to the left, and beneath the tall and majestic walls was a low plank house built against the wall, where one of his 'homes' was located.
"Sir Jaime, how long have you been with Quells?" asked Theon.
Jaime just glanced at Theon, but didn't answer.
"Aren't you going back to the Lannisters' Kaiyan City, that's the thousand-year-old legacy of the Lannisters!" Theon asked with great interest.
Jaime was expressionless, silent as ice.
"Are you afraid of His Majesty?"
"............," Jaime glanced at Theon.
"Oh, you won't be afraid of His Majesty. His Majesty was once a vassal of the Lannisters...... Your dignity and glory can't accept the rise of the Clegane family?
Jaime took the reins, and the horses stopped, forcing several horses to stop together.
"Theon, you have a great time being a slave of the Magic Mountain!"
"I'm not a slave, Sir Jaime, I'm the deputy commander of the Quells Navy. A lieutenant commander of the Navy is not something that a slave is qualified to do. Also, His Majesty the King and Her Majesty Queen Daenerys abolished slavery. Both Westeros and Essos no longer allow the slave trade. ”
"Being a dog is no more noble than being a slave. ”
"You're wrong again, Sir Jaime, I'm the vice-commander of the navy at Quells, not a dog. I'm just like you, I'm all alone. If Your Majesty did not care about your stupidity and ignorance, would you fall on your knees and return to Westeros to inherit Castle Rock?"
Theon, the iron breed, says Jaime is stupid and ignorant!
It choked James' breath!
The person Jaime looked down on the most was the Iron Seed. An extremely barbaric people who live by plundering the wealth of others. The saying that the iron breeders enshrined as a law is 'it better to force than hard work', that is, the naked bandit spirit, the most primitive barbarian, there is no civilization at all.
"When did the robbers also put on the garb of nobility to show off their upbringing and civilization. ”
"Oh Sir Jaime, we are no longer the 'hard to hard' irons, our bravest ironmen have become Royal Navy warriors in the Blackwaters harbor of King's Landing, and the pirate raids of my fathers are over. The Count of Gubland administers the Iron Islands. Iron ore, sea salt, fishing, trading, soldiering and mercenary are the latest ways of life for the Iron Miners. We no longer forcible it, but we also did not choose to work hard, it was His Majesty the King who led us out of the pirate life. ”
Jaime suffocated again!
He was dismayed to find that he had been barely refuted by a contemptible iron caste.
This filled James, who was extremely proud in his heart, with a sense of frustration!
The Lannisters are the true nobles, while the Greyjoys of the Iron Isles are not. The Greyjoys are rebels, pirates, and untrustworthy villains. They pride themselves on meanness and lies.
"Sir Jaime, you have a lot of hatred for me and His Majesty?" said Theon, smiling, looking heartless.
Jaime felt a tingle in his heart.
He chose to stay away from the Magic Mountain because the Mountain killed Tywin Lannister, and Tywin was his father.
"I've heard that the little demon Tyrion Lannister has become the governor of Braavos, which shows that His Majesty has no evil intentions for the Lannisters. ”
Jaime snorted coldly, flicked the reins, and the horse continued on his way.
So they rode their horses together.
*
In the naval port, the battleships are lined up and leave the port at a constant speed.
The main force of the Eastern Crusade was mainly the navy.
And naval warfare also pays attention to a tactical and fleet array.
Asha Greyjoy trained the navy to give the Quells navy the ability to conduct array warfare.
King Moshan himself inspected the navy, he boarded the flagship, gave orders, and at the sound of horns, the warships of the navy set off one after another.
Jaime, who came to the docks of the Navy Harbor, saw a black and crushing battleship, and as far as his eyes could see, the battleship that had left the harbor had gone far away, and there was almost no end in sight.
With such a powerful navy, Jaime could only see it here.
Once Jaime was the Kingsguard of King's Landing Red Keep, responsible for the safety of kings and queens. The royal navy owned by the king and queen had no more than thirty warships.
And in Quells, the new king Magic Mountain has naval warships, excluding those merchant ships that can be converted into warships in wartime, and the professional warships are 1,800.
The disparity in strength between 1,800 warships and 30 Royal Navy warships of Robert's time cannot be compensated for by any courage or guts.
Quells City is a seaport city and one of the most important bridges between the East and West worlds, with more maritime trade than any other known port and the largest in the world. In order to protect this vast trading business, Quells's naval power developed accordingly, eventually forming the most powerful naval fleet.
And when the Magic Mountain Dragon attacked, he conquered Quells and also took Quells's powerful navy into his pocket.
No matter how powerful the navy is, in front of the dragon is a pile of planks poured with fire oil. No matter how tall or wide the planks are, all they need is a tiny spark.
*
Magic Mountain and Asha stood on the flagship, watching the naval warships line up out of port.
Theon Greyjoy and Jaime came to the Navy Harbor docks, and the herald sent a message, and when the Magic Mountain and Asha who were standing on the flagship turned around, they saw several horses on the dock and Jaime and Theon on horseback.
The flagship is not far from the pier.
The naval warships went to sea, and the flagship overseer, did not leave the port.
Soon, the herald came and asked Jaime and Theon to board the ship to meet His Majesty on the flagship.
*
Magic Mountain watched Jaime walk over, a little unable to believe his eyes.
Jaime was downcast.
The brilliant blonde hair was already grayish-white, as if it had been frosted.
A messy beard that looked dirty.
Jaime's leather armor was also too old, with scratches all over it.
The combat boots on the feet are also particularly worn, and it looks like the big toe will break out if you exert too much force.
Jaime's face was also rough and dark, with a wax skin that had been dried by the sea breeze.
The mountain looked into Jaime's eyes.
Those eyes had not lost their brilliance yet, and they were full of calm.
*
Jaime looked at the Magic Mountain.
The Magic Mountain seemed to be a little burlier than he had imagined.
He was dressed in bright new armor and had a huge two-handed sword on his back. The hilt of the sword, which protruded from the left shoulder, took two hands to barely grasp. But Jaime knew that the Mountain only needed one hand to hold the hilt of the great sword.
A generation of kings is actually dressed up not much different from the military commander Demon Mountain. Although the momentum is imposing, it does not match the king's noble status.
A king should be a king, not a general. At the very least, there was no need for the king to carry his two-handed greatsword on his back when he was patrolling his navy.
The Magic Mountain is the Magic Mountain, and in his bones, he is still a brutal and ferocious guy. Martial, violent, bloody, and advocating killing.
*
"Jaime!" said the Magic Mountain.
"Magic Mountain!" Jaime was neither humble nor arrogant, nor did he kneel. He wants to maintain the little dignity and so-called glory that he is in danger.
The Magic Mountain is nothing more than a former retainer of the Lannisters and a vicious dog of his father Tywin.
Jaime called the king by his nickname.
This is very disrespectful. Theon, Asha, and Eren all knew about Jaime and the Magic Mountain, and knew about Jaime's arrogance, and they didn't react in particular, but Quells's senior admirals had strange faces.
In the eyes of the Quells generals, His Majesty the King is authoritative, inviolable, and inviolable, and he easily destroyed the Scorpion Tail Fort and the Temple of Immortality, just like a god-like existence.
However, a one-armed mercenary called His Majesty the King 'the Magic Mountain' very unreasonably, and the admirals were a little uneasy, fearing that the king might harm them after killing the mercenaries. His Majesty the King is in a bad mood, and it is normal for his generals to be angry.
*
"Connie is pregnant?" said Magic Mountain.
He saw Jaime pick up the pregnant woman. Jaime is here, and the pregnant woman is probably Connie. This sentence does not sound to the ears of ordinary people, but it is full of threats to the ears of James. Connie is his family and is pregnant with his children, and with Connie, there are two other children: Tomman and Messira.
Jaime himself is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he has long taken life and death lightly, but his family is his weakness.
"That's not Connie. ”
"Oh!" Magic Mountain looked at Cavalry Captain Damien York, "Captain Damien, I want you to bring the pregnant woman and her two children here. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. "The Dothraki had long looked at Jaime unpleasantly, and he stared at him like his Arak scimitar. Jaime calling His Majesty the King the 'Magic Mountain' has already made Captain Damien's palms itch, and he just wants to cut people.
Damien York passed by Jaime with a look of contempt on his face, and he wanted to drag the pregnant woman and the child over like dogs.
Damian York had been ordered to find the pregnant woman, gave her a bag of coins, and sent the king's wishes for the safety of the mother and child. But what Damien didn't expect was that the one-armed mercenary of the pregnant woman's husband would be so disrespectful to His Majesty.
His Majesty did not embarrass the woman and the child, but also sent coins, and the fact that this man was so rude to the king made Demi feel angry.
The Dothraki are savage, but if he swears allegiance to someone, he cannot tolerate disrespect for his leader.
Jaime saw threat and cruelty in Damien's eyes.
He knew he was powerless to resist the Demon Mountain.
He is not afraid of death at all, so he has no fear of the Magic Mountain at all, but Connie and Tomman and Misella, they are innocent.
"Your Majesty!" Jaime knelt down on one knee, and he finally bent the hero's knee, "Connie, Tomman and Messira are innocent, you take my head, please spare them." ”
"Your head?" Magic Mountain looked at Jaime, "your head is worthless, I'm not interested. ”
"Your Majesty, please spare Tomman and the Messiah for the sake of the past fathers. ”
There was a strange light in the eyes of the magic mountain: "Jaime, why do you think I will embarrass Connie, Tomman, and Messira?"
Jaime stammered, speechless.
He couldn't tell why, he only instinctively thought that the magic mountain would embarrass them.
Damien York, who rushed down the spiral ladder, said, "Damien, invite Lady Connie and her two children to be guests here, and tell Connie and the two children that I have something to say to them." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Damien replied with his gaze fixed on Jaime through the gap in the stairs. Jaime and his gaze touched, and there was a sharp glint in Damien's eyes and a pair of extreme contempt for Jaime.
Jaime was arrogant at first, and when he saw the king, he did not kneel, nor did he call His Majesty, but called the Magic Mountain, but his cold and calm armed strong shell was pierced by His Majesty's soft words 'Connie is pregnant'. When Jaime took the initiative to kneel, the senior admirals of Quells were moved in their hearts and revered His Majesty even more.
Everyone saw Jaime's hostility, and the general could see that Jaime was not afraid of death at all, but he was such a tough guy, in front of His Majesty the King, he only said a few words, not loud or evil, and forced the mercenaries to take the initiative to kneel. Many times, words are more powerful than swords.
"Jaime, get up. Magic Mountain said.
Jaime stood up.
"You can go. ”
Jaime was stunned.
"You don't have to be involved in my conversation with Connie, Tomman, Messira. When you go back, you will run into Damien York, don't do anything with him, I want you to understand in the name and glory of the king, I will not embarrass Connie and Tomman, and the Messirah. Let's go. ”
Jaime doesn't understand what the Mountain is trying to say to Connie, Tomman, and Messira, and he wants to stay, but the Mountain asks him to leave.
"Your Majesty will never embarrass Connie, Tomman, and Messira?"
"Absolutely not, the gods are watching from heaven, and my generals are here to witness, the king of a country, a word is like a mountain. ”
"Okay, I'm at home waiting for Connie, Tomman, and Messira to come back. ”
"They may not necessarily come back. ”
Jaime's face was awe-inspiring!
"Your Majesty just ......"
"I said I wouldn't embarrass them, and if they were willing to follow me back to Westeros, I wouldn't refuse. ”
"They will never follow His Majesty back to Westeros. ”
"yes, maybe we can make a bet. Magic Mountain's tone was steady.
Jaime opened his mouth, but hesitated, and after a while, he looked at the magic mountain: "Your Majesty, if you coerce them......"
"Jaime, your words are a blasphemy against my glory. I'm going to embarrass you and Connie, Tomman, and Messira, is there anything you can do? There's nothing you can do! As I said, I'm not going to embarrass them. If you still doubt it, you don't deserve the name Jaime Lannister, and don't let me lose the last bit of respect for you, for we've fought side by side in the snow and ice of the North, Sir Jaime. ”
