North of King's Landing, Stokeworth.
This castle is not big, and is located on the seaside less than half a league north of King's Landing.
Precisely because it is very close to King's Landing, the nobles in the castle can see most of the scenery of King's Landing as long as they stand on the high ground of the castle.
The nobles in the city also had the opportunity to observe the battle more than two months ago.
Dragon's heroic appearance was deeply rooted in their hearts, and they were so frightened that they lived in seclusion. Even though seven soldiers were missing, they did not dare to announce it.
"Sir Bronn, come and see! There seems to be an army passing by in the forest over there!"
The soldiers on duty at the top of the city ran into Bronn's room and reported in panic.
Bronn is a Mercenary who once served under Tyrion. He gained military exploits in Battle of the Blackwater Rush and was named a knight by Tywin.
Later, after Tyrion was in trouble, Bronn was bribed by Cersei. On the premise that Trial by Combat would not fight for Tyrion, Cersei married the mentally retarded second daughter of the House Stokeworth family to Bronn, allowing her to obtain noble status.
Bronn later used his own ruthlessness to kill his wife's sister's husband and drive away his wife's sister, allowing his mentally retarded wife to successfully obtain the castle and title of the House Stokeworth family.
Now he is the actual controller of Stokeworth, and the two hundred soldiers in the city are at his disposal.
Bronn let go of his mistress in his arms and glared at the soldier who interrupted his good business, "What are you arguing about? Don't you know the friendship between Lord Hand and me today? Don't worry, the northern part of Westeros has long been pacified by His Majesty the King of the North, and there will be no more wars."
The soldier was so anxious that he stamped his feet, "Sir, there is really a cavalry outside. Go and have a look."
Bronn put on his coat and followed the soldiers to the city wall. Looking around, he saw a strange cavalry stationed in the woods by the sea.
"Looking at the style of their armor, they don't seem to be Westeros's cavalry... and their mounts, hiss, why don't they look like war horses?"
The soldier swallowed, "Sir, I feel like Dragon."
"Dragon? Have you ever seen Dragon without wings?" Bronn retorted.
But he looked at it for a while, and it looked more and more like Dragon. "Maybe it's a big lizard similar to Dragon? I heard that the lizards in Dorne are really big."
The surrounding soldiers looked at each other and said, "Sir, no matter how big the Dorne lizard is, it's not this big. It can carry people on its back, so it must be Dragon."
Bronn silently raised his beard on his chin and asked, "When did they come?"
"No... I don't know." Most of the soldiers in the city were dawdling around, and they didn't always pay attention to the vigilance outside the city.
Bronn scratched his head and said, "Send someone over to negotiate and ask them where they come from."
That forest was too close to Stokeworth, so Bronn couldn't help but ignore it.
The soldier nodded hurriedly and immediately assigned a rejected recruit to ride over to negotiate.
In less than ten minutes, the recruit came back and said, "Sir, they don't know how to speak Common Tongue, so they can't have a conversation."
"Sir, there are only about thirty people on the other side, why don't we go out and kill them..." the soldier who stayed next to Bronn said fiercely.
Bronn's backhand is a big showdown, "You idiots, how can you losers be the opponent of those people?"
Decades of Mercenary career have allowed him to develop a good eye. The energy and energy of the more than thirty cavalrymen are completely different from ordinary people, and they are the best among the best.
Not to mention the more than two hundred soldiers in Stokeworth, even if two hundred cavalry are added, they cannot be the opponent of that group of people.
Those big lizards are much sharper than war horses.
Bronn turned around and walked down the city wall, "Quickly prepare my horse, I'm going to King's Landing to report the news!"
He has never been able to find a good reason to go to Tyrion to reminisce about old times. Isn't the appearance of this group of cavalry the opportunity he has been waiting for for a long time?
King's Landing, Alchemists' Guild, late at night.
Gary and the three were still discussing in the library, "Hallyne, is there any way you can make Wildfire into powder?"
Vice President Hallyne and Melisandre studied the flintlock design drawings for a whole night under Gary's explanation, and now they understand what Gary means.
"Your Majesty wants to use Wildfire as the projectile's propellant? But Wildfire is an oily substance. I... will think of a way."
Gary stared at the design drawings on the table and said, "The propellant is very important, and you Alchemists' Guild will focus on conquering this point next. As for the manufacturing of the flintlock gun, I will personally handle it."
"Bang."
There was a noise in the Alchemists' Guild's backyard. Although the sound was not loud, it was very obvious in the quiet night.
Gary came to the window and looked towards the backyard. It turned out that Drogon was holding Daenerys and Tysha and landed in the courtyard.
"Why are you here?" Gary asked after the two girls arrived at the library.
Daenerys Without that plate armor, after changing into a luxurious princess dress, her whole person became much more refined, as if she had turned back into the dragon queen who was arrogant among the others.
"Your Majesty, Sister Tysha has something important to report to you."
Tysha bowed his head and saluted, then glanced at Hallyne and Melisandre in the room and remained silent.
Gary asked them to sit down, "It doesn't matter, they are not outsiders, just say so."
Tysha, Melisandre, and Hallyne, the two new colleagues, nodded, then faced Gary and said, "Your Majesty, Pentos's money and food have been deposited in Red Keep's treasury. The dragoons are stationed in the forest to the north outside the city, waiting for your Majesty's dispatch."
"The dragoons are outside the city? Why don't they enter the city?" Gary failed to understand why Tysha arranged it this way.
Tysha lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, House Lannister is not worthy of trust. Now that they control all of King's Landing's armies, I think Your Majesty still has to leave a backup force."
"Dragoon is the back-up you left for me? Well, caution is a good thing, but Tyrion..." Gary can't imagine that Tyrion would betray him, because the character of Tyrion in the original work is very affectionate and righteous, and such a person is unlikely to be betrayed.
Tysha's voice couldn't help but rise, "Your Majesty, Tyrion·Lannister is even more untrustworthy. He is full of lies and there is not a single truth in his mouth."
Gary put his face on his hands and asked curiously, "Have you ever had a problem with Tyrion?"
Tysha's face turned ugly, and she slowly told her story with Tyrion.
Gary was halfway through listening and suddenly remembered, "Are you the first love? Tyrion's wife?"
Tysha was startled by Gary's reaction and asked quickly, "Your Majesty knows? Did Tyrion mention me?"
Gary suddenly felt a headache. It was really hard for him to get involved in this matter, "Tysha, maybe there was a misunderstanding about what happened back then. Why don't you listen to Tyrion's explanation? After all, you were the trigger for him to kill Tywin."
"What do you mean, Your Majesty? It was for me that Tyrion killed Tywin·Lannister and became a parricide?"
Tysha's eyes were full of disbelief, and he spat. "Your Majesty is afraid that he has been deceived. That man... is full of tricks."
