Chapter 423
"Snoring..." The quiet banquet was broken by the sound of sucking sticky juice.
Tyrion retracted his eyes, closed his chin, which was about to fall on the table, and closed his widened nostrils, then turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw the plump horse men maid, Jhiqui, who was wrapping a huge fish head with a napkin, and her rosy and plump lips were sucking the brain of the fish.
Horse men's maid noticed everyone's gaze, her face turned red, and she said, "That's how fish head is eaten. It's really delicious. You can try it."
"Uh, okay." Tyrion touched his nose awkwardly.
Then, he turned to the Dragon Queen, who was sipping golden wine, and said with emotion: "I have been to Stoney Sept, which is surrounded by rivers and mountains, and there are really several dangerous places, one man guards the pass, ten -thousand men are blocked."
Connington heard Tyrion just as he came back to his senses.
You don't need to think about it carefully, he can also instantly name seven or eight good places for ambush.
The more I think about it, the more I regret it, the more I regret it, the more I hate it.
Then he used his head as a muddy shoehorn and slammed it against the thick oak tabletop.
"pēng pēng pēng..."
The sound of porcelain terrified everyone.
"Ser, what's wrong with you? Drunk?"
Tyrion and little Aegon immediately supported the mad Connington.
When he lifted his head up, everyone saw that two tears had slipped down Connington's weather-beaten face.
"I'm so stupid, really, I just set fire to the town and thought everything is fine to kill Robert. I didn't know that I could still ambush the reinforcements of the three Dukes..." The exiled Hand of the King murmured hoarsely.
"Ai, Ser, don't blame yourself." The old Aemon glanced at Dany with a complex expression, and sighed: "Battle of the Bells has been in the past 16 years, during which Seven Kingdoms, and even Essos continent's Countless great generals have talked about the course of the campaign.
But they've never just debated whether it's personal honor or fulfilling the responsibility of Hand of the King, and no one has ever been like Dany..."
p>Everyone was hearing this, and their expressions were complicated, and there was a hint of awe in the eyes of the dragon girl.
Tyrion thought for a while, looked at Dany and asked, "If Stoney Sept is located in the plains and there is no dangerous place nearby, would Your Majesty choose to burn the town?"
"The town There's no danger nearby, wouldn't you be oneself in danger?" Dany glanced at him, indifferently said.
"Uh, how to make it?"
"First block the town, allow entry and no exit, and arrange for the archer to occupy the most dangerous street, that is, the place with the most towers and the densest.
Isn't there a lot of clock towers in Stoney Sept?
The name Battle of the Bells is also due to the bells ringing in the town during the melee.
Then look for the block with the most bell towers, ambush archers on the roofs on both sides of the street, set up crossbows, hide lance soldiers in the houses on both sides of the street, and hide a heavy cavalry at the end of the street.
So , that block will be set up as the Land of Death for the rebels, waiting for Eddard Stark and them to crash in automatically."
"Uh, Jon Arryn is not stupid, why not retreat when attacked?" Tyrion wondered. .
"Hey, you're asking such a simple question."
Dany gave him a contemptuous look, and when he looked up, he saw the same blank eyes as Imp.
sighed then said, she said helplessly: "The Royalists don't know anything about Robert's location, and obviously the rebels outside of town don't know anything about what's going on inside. But I've Take the information advantage because I'm at Stoney Sept."
"Well, still don't get it." Tyrion said blankly.
"Arrange a group of soldiers near the ambush and pretend to besiege Robert's house. If Eddard Stark just entered town, he heard King's Party soldiers shouting 'Robert is here', 'Don't let go' Robert', 'Aiya, Robert's fierce', 'Hurry up, work harder, Robert is off', what will he choose?"
Lying | trough, Queen Your Majesty, hello shameless!
However, even if this method doesn't sound just and honorable, it doesn't set fire to civilians or lose Knight's glory.
Tyrion and the others were stunned again.
"But what if Robert came out and broke the trap?" asked little Aegon.
"Didn't I say it before? The divide archer occupies all the clock towers, and the town is in my hands. As long as there is no evenly matched melee, Robert dares to show up and immediately shoot him into a sieve.
" p>
Then, shouted 'Robert is dead', even cut off Robert's head and put it on the lance, and took it before the battle, the rebels were naturally defeated, what should I do next? "
Little Aegon was still dissatisfied, and continued: "What if Robert does not show up and arranges the townspeople to come out and shout?"
"Ai, as soon as the townspeople came out, Queen Know where Robert is hiding...and, ordinary townspeople don't have the guts to just and honourable against King.
Even if there are bold people who want to fight Rich, not afraid of death, stood up and shouted, and Eddard couldn't believe it.
Because Queen can also send people to pretend to be townspeople to shout 'Robert is here, save Robert'."
Tyrion quickly followed Dany's line of thinking.
Dany went on to say: "If you don't pursue the result of 'cutting the four men in the first battle', it can be simpler. Just ambush crossbowmen and armored cavalry at the entrance of the town, and wait for the three Dukes to lead reinforcements. , and attacked and killed one or two of them, Robert would not be able to hold back no matter what.
Wait until he raised his hammer, roared and rushed out, and then killed him with the bow and crossbow that had been prepared, the battle situation would also be It can be reversed immediately.
That is to say, from the moment Robert fled into Stoney Sept alone, the Royalists have been victorious, nothing more than a matter of winning more and less.”
"pēng pēng pēng..." Connington banged his head against the table again.
"I'm so stupid, really, I only know that setting fire to the town, or sending people door to door to search for Robert, I didn't know it was so simple to ambush the three Duke's reinforcements.... .."
He cried aloud.
Duckfield and little Aegon hurried forward to comfort them.
"Dany..."
Aemon rejoiced in his heart, rejoicing at the Dragon Queen Heavenly Horse's empty battlefield wisdom, but had a reproachful look on his face.
Dany shrugged, looking innocent.
"Hey, now I finally understand why the Ghis coalition failed so badly."
Tyrion scratched the back of his head, and sighed with joy and regret: "If your Majesty is the eldest daughter, born 30 years early, the battle of Usurper will definitely be a different ending."
If Dragon Queen was born 30 years earlier, with her very ruthless and cunning, oneself father 80% early The bones turned to ashes.
And the Seven Kingdoms nobles, those who are keen on the game of thrones, must have known the current affairs for a long time, kneeling on the ground and licking the Queen's feet.
The battle of Usurper, the rebellion of Balon, the turmoil of the four kings, and now the feast of crows are gone, the people live and work in peace, and Westeros is prosperous.
Seems pretty good too?
"You can't give birth 30 years earlier, otherwise we horse men will have no Khaleesi!" Jhiqui, who instigated the fish head, put down his bones and said dissatisfiedly.
Irri nodded in agreement, saying: "Dosh Khaleen said that Khaleesi will fulfill the ancient prophecy, ride the dragon to unify the Dothraki Sea, and become the strongest Khal ever."
"Dothraki also has Ancient prophecy? Child of Prophecy, Azor Ahai?" Tyrion said strangely.
Irri tilted his head to think for a moment and said, "Maybe it's the Child of Prophecy, after all Khaleesi also said, Wall has Others, Long Night nears, horse men should also have the Child of Prophecy of oneself!
p>
But it's not Azor Ahai, in Dothraki language, it's called 'Stallion Who Mounts the World'."
"Okay, horse men's prophecy, don't say it in front of outsiders." Dany waved his hand. .
It's not that she wants to hide anything, it's actually that she doesn't trust Dosh Khaleen's ability to predict at all, and it's a shame.
That's right, "Stallion Who Mounts the World" isn't just for Daenerys alone.
A long, long time ago, the Dothraki prophesied that a strong Khal would appear on the Great Grass Sea, with his Khalasar covering the whole land, innumerable, and his Arakh as sharp as Miscanthus.
Dosh Khaleen believes that Daenerys' son Rhaego is the prophesied man.
Obviously, if Dany hadn't crossed over, that kid wouldn't even have a chance to be born.
"Really Others?"
Tyrion changes the subject by reading his words.
He saw that the Dragon Queen didn't want to talk about the horse men's prophecy, and he was indeed more curious about the Others.
„It's true." The old Aemon glanced at the little Aegon with a complicated look, and slowly recounted what happened to Dany in the Wall.
Few people know that Prince Rhaegar wrote a letter to Aemon on the Wall on the day Aegon was born.
Rhaegar tells Aemon that he is probably not the Child of Prophecy, and that the newborn Aegon is the real Child of Prophecy.
At the time of little Aegon's birth, a red alien flashed over King's Landing, just in response to the Asshai prophecy.
Before today, old Aemon never took Rhaegar's words seriously.
—Rhaegar and little Aegon died sixteen years ago, and the Child of Prophecy won't die. This shows that neither Rhaegar nor little Aegon are Child of Prophecy.
On the contrary, after meeting Dany, he firmly believes that she is the Child of Prophecy.
——Although she firmly denied it from the very beginning.
But now...
Well, under the influence of Dragon Queen, Old Master doesn't care much about that Asshai prophecy now.
But the prophecy is related to the authenticity of little Aegon's identity!
This problem is very serious.
If Woods Witch's prophecy is true, Child of Prophecy will be born in the bloodline of Aerys and Rhaella.
Then exclude Dany - she is a 'devout' believer in The Seven, and it seems that she will not become a Red God believer, so it may not really be Child of Prophecy.
Besides him and Dany, there is a third Targaryen alive to fulfill the prophecy.
And he must be Rhaegar's bloodline.
Because of Long Night nears, Viserys is dead and Dany's descendants are not born, too late to become Child of Prophecy.
Only Rhaegar's children are age-appropriate.
Thinking about it this way, little Aegon has a very high chance of being real.
"Dany, what do you think about little Aegon?"
After introducing Others, it was late and the banquet was over, Aegon, Connington and the others were all taken Irri was brought downstairs to settle.
They were shocked to hear the news of Others, and stopped discussing Aegon's identity.
Maybe, going to talk to Dany alone tomorrow.
Then old Aemon came to Dany's bedroom.
"Do you think he's true or false?" Aemon asked.
"I don't know." Dany stroked Little Red's wings, looking helpless.
Well, Little Red is under the care of Aemon during the day, but sleeps with mother at night.
Dany wants to develop a relationship with him in preparation for his future Dreki.
"Varys certainly has the ability to cheat, but the question is whether he's loyal to us Targaryen and willing to do so," she sighed.
