More than ten days have passed.
Gary received another secret message from Bran during the march.
Bran wrote in the letter, "King's Landing's giant heavy crossbow was modified by Qyburn, and it is powerful enough to penetrate the keel. Qyburn arranged dozens of heavy crossbows on King's Landing's city wall, and the target was the North's three Dragon."
Qyburn?
He is a person with real talent and knowledge, but unfortunately he likes to conduct human experiments, so he is destined to be in the dark. If Supreme God Faith had not been tainted, Gary would have actually considered recruiting Qyburn.
His three dragons all have Valyrian steel armor. As long as they are careful not to be hit by crossbow arrows, they will be safe.
Moreover, after the battle of Winterfell, the Dragons have long known the importance of protecting Dragon Wings. Now they will always pay attention to the situation on the ground during flight. Once a crossbow arrow strikes, they will put Dragon Wings away to avoid it.
The letter also said that if King's Landing was besieged, Cersei planned to release poison in the inland river basin of Crownlands, but was opposed by Small Council, and it is unknown whether it will be implemented, which made Gary remain vigilant.
However, Small Council passed the decision of Cersei to use Wildfire. It seems that Battle of the Blackwater Rush gave them great confidence, thinking that Wildfire can once again help him defeat powerful enemies.
Poison and Wildfire...
Gary called Tyrion and Barristan into the camp. They were both witnesses of Battle of the Blackwater Rush and knew Wildfire better than Gary.
Then, he called Melisandre and Bachelor Jaqen over. Both of them were poison experts, and their research on poisons was better than Qyburn.
Gary did not hide anything and simply explained the situation.
"Poisoning the river? That requires a huge amount of poison. Does King's Landing have the poison in stock?" Jia Qin raised his eyebrows and pointed out the crux of the problem.
Tyrion recalled for a while and said, "Before I left King's Landing, there should be no such stock in the city. King's Landing doesn't have many alchemists, and there are very few raw materials for this type of poison. However, Cersei may raise and purchase raw materials for preparing poisons from outside."
Jia Qin shrugged his shoulders, "If you can show the strength you had against Seven that day, King's Landing? You can break through it in half a day. The so-called poison tactic is a joke."
Melisandre saw that Gary was still a little worried, so he said, "God's Messenger If you are not worried, I can randomly test the drinking water sources brought by the logistics troops every day."
Gary nodded in agreement. It's right to be cautious. "Let Xiaolu and Ice warriors help you and test it every day."
"Okay." Melisandre looked complicated and hesitated to speak. She knew that now was not the time to talk about other topics, so she could only suppress the urge to vomit.
Tyrion used Wildfire to burn Stannis's royal fleet, which was the most critical link in defeating Battle of the Blackwater Rush. He knew the power of Wildfire very well, "Your Majesty, are you worried that Cersei will use Wildfire to deal with us? The main reason why Stannis's fleet was defeated last time was that the sea water accelerated the spread of Wildfire."
He pointed to the northern plain of King's Landing on the map, "And this time we are attacking from land, and the power of Wildfire is greatly reduced. If His Majesty's Dragon can suppress the catapults and giant crossbows on the King's Landing wall, then we don't need to worry about Cersei's Wildfire."
Gary touched his chin and asked, "Do you think it is possible for Cersei to bury Wildfire all over King's Landing's tunnels, and then... blow up the city after we attack it?"
Tyrion was stunned, wasn't this the decision of Mad King back then? If Jaime hadn't stopped it in time, King's Landing would have been blown up by Wildfire decades ago.
His expression became extremely serious, "With Cersei's character, this is a possibility."
Gary held his forehead and said with a wry smile, "Our plan is going to change."
He originally thought that his current military strength was twice that of Cersei, and with Dragon and Magic as the main means of siege, he could directly crush the enemy with his own hard power.
But if Cersei really plans to sacrifice King's Landing and severely damage the the North coalition, then his plan must be changed.
"Tyrion, do you still remember King's Landing's identity?"
Tyrion immediately understood what Gary meant, "Your Majesty is saying that we send people to infiltrate King's Landing first? However, if there are many people, they will be exposed. If there are few people, King's Landing is so big that it is impossible to take care of everything."
Gary grinned and said, "I will go there in person, King's Landing Linhai. As long as I prepare in advance, no matter how many Wildfire there are, I will seal them with Ice Magic."
Tyrion nodded, "Understood. I know the underground passage leading to Red Keep. I will go with Your Majesty."
That's what Gary meant. He turned to look at Barristan, "Sir, during my absence, you will be fully responsible for the the North coalition forces. According to the original plan, attack Duskendale first, and then take Rosby. When you besiege King's Landing, we will cooperate internally and externally."
Barristan stood up and saluted, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Melisandre also stood up at this time, clasping his hands devoutly, "Sir God's Messenger, please let me accompany you."
Gary hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "Are you no longer confused?"
Melisandre said with great certainty, "Yes, please give me a chance to atone for my sins, Mr. God's Messenger."
Gary has never blamed Melisandre. He is very happy for Melisandre's "return". "Okay, you come with me. The job of daily water testing... leave it to Bachelor Jia Qin."
Jaqen did not refuse the order of Gary. As a bachelor of Winterfell, he should accept the mission of the master House Stark.
"Your Majesty, I want to bring someone with me." Tyrion suddenly said.
Gary asked with interest, "He agreed?"
After that.
Gary called the lords of the North and Vale to the tent, explaining that he was about to leave the camp and handed over the command to Barristan Selmy.
But he didn't say clearly that he wanted to sneak into King's Landing secretly.
After this short meeting, Gary found Margaery and Daenerys and exchanged a few words in private.
He left his Valyrian steel plate armor and let a the North soldier of similar stature wear it, pretending to be him and confusing the enemy who was seeking intelligence.
Night falls.
Gary left an ice core to Margaery and Daenerys, and then he led Tyrion, Melisandre, the deer and a mysterious man in a cloak to secretly leave the North's camp under the cover of night.
King's Landing.
Iron Bank's messenger, Naho Demitis, is in a very bad mood.
Iron Bank and House of Black and White are both institutions of Braavos, and they have very close private communication.
Therefore, Iron Bank sometimes looks for House of Black and White to buy some important information.
Judging from the latest information obtained by Iron Bank, it is a certainty that the North's army will capture King's Landing. If King in the North were to capture Iron Throne, they would definitely not acknowledge Iron Throne's previous debts.
Of course he didn't want to share information with Cersei, a loser, so he left King's Landing by boat overnight, and at the same time sent a letter to Iron Bank explaining the situation.
Iron Throne is about to change owners, and the debt is at risk of becoming invalid...
