Chapter 0720 Cersei who is bent on stupidizing herself to death
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, Aegon threatens that if something happens to him, all the more than 1,000 hostages in the stormland will die. "Roland Clinton was calm and grief-stricken.
The golden-robed and red-robed guards in the hall picked up more than two dozen human heads on the ground and placed them in place one by one. A maid brought a brocade box, and the silent sisters of the palace also heard the news, and collected the heads one by one into the brocade box.
"Sir Roland Clinton, we're going to defeat Jon Clinton, kill Aegon, and rescue the hostages. Prime Minister Mace Tyrell said decisively.
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, please give me a team of men to attack the Storm Lands. "The Kingsguard Valiant Garland Tyrell was the first to fight.
"Your Majesty, the navy can land from Broken Ship Bay, take the islands in Broken Ship Bay first, and block the sea route for the retreat of the Warrior Regiment. Royal Navy Commander-in-Chief Wagner Gall stood out of the queue and said.
"Clegane's Admiral Rover Spicer has asked for battle and an attack on Storm's End. "Rover Spicer is out on the line. He is Janine Westerling's maternal uncle and the uncle of the Magic Mountain. He is a simple and brave man, many battles in the Magic Mountain did not have his share, and the war ghosts in the north also had nothing to do with him, and he suffocated his internal injuries.
Empress Cersei and the past judge are like the two of them, sparing no effort to support the military supplies in the North and the Magic Mountain, and the generals stationed in King's Landing have reached a consensus on this.
Queen Cersei suddenly woke up and realized that the stranger was the greatest and most feared danger of the human race, and she seemed to be a different person. The support of the military and civilians for her has also increased.
"The Governor of the Iron Islands, Gerod Gubler, has asked for war. Your Majesty, we can land in the Stormlands by sea and attack the castles in the Stormlands in multiple ways, leaving Aegon and Jon Clinton unable to take care of one or the other. "The Governor of the Iron Islands, Gerold, has been a professional pirate since he was a child, and it has always been a tradition for the Iron Breeders to fight wars and loot cities to make their fortunes. They were afraid that there would be no rich castle to attack, and as long as there was a war, it would be a great thing: the opportunity for iron to make a fortune began with the siege of the city.
Baron Swain, the Imperial Guards in charge of King's Landing's defense, also stepped forward: "Your Majesty, please allow me to lead 10,000 army soldiers across the Blackwater River to attack the Stormlands from the direction of the Royalty, and subdue the Stormlands territory one by one. "His brother and father were captured by Jon in Stonehelm, and the family's warriors and soldiers were in King's Landing.
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I ask to be the vanguard of the army. Count Ismond of Greenstone Castle stood up and said angrily. His family and realm were taken by Jon and the Golden Regiment on the first day.
"I would also like to be a pioneer. Sir Wilde of Rain House strode out of the queue and stood in front of the seven steps of the Iron Throne, declaring war with a loud voice.
The lords of the Storm Lands, such as Fog Forest City, Harvest Hall, Hay Hall, Bronze Gate City, Fort Felwood, Crow's Nest Fort, Night Song City, and Long Supply Fort, all came out one after another, clamoring to lead their troops to fight back.
The throne hall was full of anger and high morale. Both the navy and the army are eager to fight.
Queen Cersei said, "Rest easy, my lords, I wrote to Jon Clinton to inform him of the emergency situation of the attack of the strangers in the north, and asked them to suspend the declaration of war, so that we can put aside the civil war within our human race and fight the strangers together. Since they are unwilling, indifferent and cold-blooded to the overall situation of the survival of the human race, and must declare war at the critical moment of life and death when the human race is attacked by strange ghosts, then I have no choice but to activate the emergency plan.
"The Lannisters are rich and powerful, when I received the news that Daenerys Targaryen was going to attack King's Landing, I had secretly sent someone to hire the Faceless, as long as the name is out, death will surely come, just now, Roland Clinton has already said the names of those culprits. None of them escaped death, and I assure you in the name of the gods, old and new. Death came, and Aegon VI and Jon Clinton could not escape. ”
The hall fell silent.
Her Majesty the Queen Mother had already made an emergency plan and hired the Faceless?!
Everyone was shocked!
The Faceless One is the world's top assassin, whose name is out, and death strikes, and no one is immune.
It's just that to assassinate an ordinary nobleman, the money that hires the Faceless can hire an ordinary army, and the assassination of a king is an unimaginable astronomical amount. And Roland just said the names of at least five or six people, can that money buy the entire King's Landing?!
Beginning in the year 298 of the Aegon calendar, there were civil wars and the royal treasury was empty, which is a fact that everyone knows. King's Landing's necessities are now completely supported by the Tyrell family.
However, the Lannisters, a country rich and rivaled, in the western Rock City, the Lannister family has been the lord for thousands of years, and outsiders have no way of knowing how much gold they have accumulated.
Queen Cersei's words fully prove that the Lannister family's wealth is still amazingly strong, and ordinary people can't estimate it.
Queen Cersei was calm and indifferent: "Ladies and gentlemen, please rest assured, Lannister, rich and rival the country, although the treasury is empty, the Lannister family has never been empty. The statues of the 100 heroes in the Hall of Heroes of Rock City are all made of pure gold and are life-size. That wealth is only a small part of our family's gold. Queen Cersei looked at the queue of admirals, "Earl Gavin Westerling. ”
Gavin Westerling walked out of the queue. He is the father-in-law of Magic Mountain and the Supreme Commander of the Clegane Naval Army on Dragonstone.
"Lord Earl, you are from the West, I want you to return to the West, take over the gold of the Lannister family in Crag Rock City on my behalf, and safely transport the hundred golden statues of the Hall of Heroes to the Isle of the Gods in Braavos and donate them to the monks of the Black and White Academy. Will you be able to complete your mission without being raided by pirates?"
*
The Hall of Heroes in Crag Rock City, the statue of one hundred of the most famous heroes in the thousand-year history of the Lannister family, is made of pure gold and is also famous overseas, it is a symbol of the wealth and strength of the Lannister family, and it is also the peak of honor.
Cersei suddenly wants to transport all the hundred gold statues to the Black and White Courtyard, which is an absolute big deal, not only the amount of gold, but also the Lannisters' respect for the Black and White Courtyard. From now on, the 100 golden statues of heroes famous overseas will no longer be kept in Crag Rock City, but in the Black and White Courtyard of Braavos.
It's a crazy decision and a jaw-dropping payment method. The Lannisters have paid for the family's history and dignity, which gold cannot buy. Each of the lifelike gold statues is the work of a master, and the added value on them, the meaning, honor and symbolism they represent are priceless.
However, it seems that only by paying such a price can we afford to pay the faceless one. There are several names that Roland just said. One of them was a dragon: Aegon VI Targaryen.
In fact, this is the only way to ask the Faceless One to kill Aegon and his party!
It feels like Queen Cersei has no choice!
However, this is also crazy and decisive!
Crazy and decided, unbelievable!
In the throne hall, Prime Minister Mez was stunned!
*
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I'm just afraid that the pirates won't come. Gavin Westerling said solemnly. He was very, very, very surprised in his heart: Her Majesty the Queen Mother was very jealous and wary of the Magic Mountain and him, and there were many blood feuds and grievances accumulated between the family, how could she possibly hand over the gold of Rock City to herself to take over? You must know that this is a fat gap, since it is to take over the gold wealth of Rock City, the Lannister family has no secrets about the Magic Mountain and the Westerling family, and it is difficult to say the relationship between the oil and water and the inside.
Cersei has resolutely made a big plan to destroy her family business!
A big decision to break the boat!
Is she determined to kill herself?
Gavin Westerling's eyes were on the Great Teacher, Koben, a scholar from the Magic Mountain, didn't he have any information to pass on to him?Why would Queen Cersei do such an unbelievable thing?
Gavin's corner of his eye only saw the smiling of the great master Koben, and the old fox's gaze was a little meaningful!
Gavin remembered that Janine would soon come to King's Landing as Queen Cersei's Minister of Law, an order that stunned many nobles in the West and the King's realm.
Why?
Cersei is determined to become the closest ally with the Demon Mountain family?
For a moment, Gavin Westerling thought of a lot...... Moreover, a hundred master-level golden statues, each of which is worth a fortune, shouldn't such amazing news be quiet? Queen Cersei announced in public, she was afraid that people all over the world would not know?!
Regardless of Cersei's purpose, whether Cersei was insane or something else, Gavin Westerling decided to complete the task assigned by the Queen Mother, and since Cersei of Lannister was determined to die stupidly with her family, Gavin Westerling decided to do her best.
It's better to be respectful than to obey!
On the road to stupid death, Cersei rode the dust, which made Count Gavin have to admire from the bottom of his heart!

In the first month of the year 301 of the Aegon calendar, several shocking events occurred on the continent of Westeros, changing the trajectory of this world, causing far-reaching effects on the history of this world and changing the fate of countless people......
Event 1: At the beginning of the month, on the Mojiang River in the north, in the middle of the night, there was a strange and peculiar fire, the arsonist was the Queen Mother Celis Florent, the believer of the Red God, she and her followers set fire to the entire Shireen army, Her Majesty Shireen was killed in the fire, and Robert's only recognized legitimate illegitimate son, Edric Storm, was also killed in the fire, the dynasty founded by Stannis I existed for a short period of three years, the dynasty fell, Shireen and Edric Storm, the heirs of Storm's End, died, and Tomman Storm died. Baratheon became the heir of Storm's End.
Event 2: In early January, Jon Clinton led the Golden Regiment to secretly land in the Stormlands, and in just a few days, swept through the Stormlands and took Storm's End. Aegon Targaryen bloodily murdered the family of the emissary Roland Clinton and his entourage of knights and soldiers at Storm's End, rewarded courtiers and generals, and officially proclaimed himself king in Storm's End, claiming to be the eldest son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Elia Martell, heir to the Iron Throne, and erecting the Angry Three-Dragon Banner with red on a black background - One Dragon and Three Headed Banners.
Event 3: In the middle of the month, Queen Mother Cersei announced that she would send a hundred golden heroes of incalculable value to the Black and White Courtyard on Braavoss Liegod Island as a commission, according to rumors, this is also an additional part of the commission of Queen Cersei, she announced that she had launched an emergency plan to hire Faceless Ones to assassinate Aegon VI Targaryen, Jon Clinton, Sister Lemore, Head Harry, Sir Raleigh Dakfield, and Captain Harlow, a total of six people, and she publicly declared: Names are out, death is coming! This news shook the continent of Westeros, and everyone feared Cersei's slaughter.
When the news came out, the morale of the Golden Regiment in Storm's End was weakened, and Jon Clinton made an emergency deployment, releasing a large number of hostages in the Stormlands in an attempt to ease tensions and urgently initiate negotiations with Queen Cersei.
Event 4: In the second half of the month, Jenny Westerling led a three-kilogram army of Rigan into the Red Keep of King's Landing, and she was successfully elected as the Minister of Law at the Council of the Imperial Ministers, becoming the first female Minister of Justice in the history of the Kingdom. She appointed herself as the chief judge of the kingdom, vigorously and resolutely, changed the law, and issued strict orders, only a few days, the hooligans and thieves in King's Landing were extinct, and the whole city was unprecedentedly clean and safe. It's a miracle.
Since then, Cersei and Jane have become the two female rulers of King's Landing, daring to act, holding great power, loving to decide right and wrong, and declaring the sun.
Event 5: In the north, to the surprise of the Demon Mountain and the generals, after the Night King entered the Hearth, he calmed down and did not advance to Winterfell again, and the daily sentry news came, and the ghoul warriors outside the Hearthh City stood still on the snow, with their blue eyes open and motionless, as if they were humanoid puppets.
The magic mountain rode the dragon several times to investigate, the strange ghost rode a rotten horse to guard around, and in every gathering place of the ghouls, there was a tall strange ghost shaped like the Night King holding a spear and standing still, the magic mountain refused to take risks, and did not attack rashly with the sheep thief.
The Night King actually calmed down!
This is unbelievable for the Northern Alliance!
Is the Night King waiting for winter to come, and is he going to launch an assault on Winterfell?
*
No one knows the real reason for the Night King's sudden stoppage, but the Mountain thinks there is one person who might know, and that person is Bran Stark, who has a three-eyed raven on his shoulder from time to time.
So, under the Stark family's sacred woods, the Magic Mountain and Bran Stark in a wheelchair came face to face.
Mera Reed, who was in charge of pushing Bran's wheelchair, had left Winterfell and returned to Greywater, the territory of Neck. His father, Count Holland Reed, wrote to her to return to inherit the Greywater Lord's domain and title. Greywater Lookout is built on a floating island in the swamp, and even ravens can't find a specific location. Historically, no one but the locals has been able to find where Greywater is located. After Mera is gone, no one will be able to find her unless she wants to.
Magic Mountain looked at Bran Stark's expression, and did not have any emotional reluctance to Mera's departure.
"Bran, Mera likes you. If you open your mouth, Mera will stay. This was the first thing the Magic Mountain said.
"Demon Mountain, you want to ask me why the Night King didn't attack?"
"Well, yes. If he doesn't attack, our morale will be low day by day, and I worry that the supplies we consume will not last. ”
"The Night King will strike in Winter, which will increase his strength. ”
"Did he foresee my plan for fire?"
"He can't, the Night King is the Night King, he's not the Green Prophet. Bran looked at the faces of the people in the Divine Grove, and a pair of eyes on those faces were looking at him like the eyes of a living person, "The wizard of the Children of the Forest can see the situation around the Divine Grove through the eyes of the Divine Wood, and I can see through the Three-Eyed Raven some things that have happened in the past, some things that are happening now, and some fragments of things in the future." The Night King would pray to the god of cold for some revelation. However, the territory of the cold god is in the land of eternal winter, and Winterfell believes in the old gods, because of your care, the Night King will not be able to attack your dragon, and his power will be strengthened when winter comes. This is good for the Night King and the ghouls. ”
"Well, how much do you know about me?"
"I know you controlled Littlefinger, and in meetings, Littlefinger always said something harsh and to the point, but you actually allowed it. ”
"Hehe!" Demon Mountain laughed dryly, and evil thoughts flashed through his mind: Does Bran know everything? Will it threaten me? Do you need to kill him? A dead soldier, a knife, or a fist. There is no shortage of dead soldiers, no shortage of knives, and no shortage of fists in the Magic Mountain.
"What about Cersei?"
