Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep - Chapter 265
c262 Coburn’s Strategy
After hearing Bran’s words, Jack strengthened his suspicion that the huge three-eyed crow he encountered was the future Bran Stark.
It’s just that his time travel has changed the timeline. With Bran’s current ability, he still can’t see the life experience of his predecessor before time travel.
Otherwise, Bran Stark should also be able to see that he does not belong to this world.
“In that case, I will go back first. Be careful. Sansa and the others will be sad if they are killed by the Night King.”
Jack reminded Bran Stark slightly.
“Your hand?” Bran looked at Jack’s wound that had stopped bleeding.
Jack did not speak, but stepped on the frozen sea with his foot and inserted his right hand into the cold sea water.
The broken arm began to recover quickly, and in just the blink of an eye, Jack’s broken arm returned to its original state.
Shaking his newly grown arm, Jack smiled and waved goodbye to the confused Bran Stark, then he rode on Corak and flew towards Castle Black.
It didn’t take long to see Castle Black from the East China Sea, and Jack soon returned to Castle Black.
The Night King is still in the Fist of the First Men, so Jack has more time to prepare.
Jack immediately summoned Samwell. At Jack’s signal, Samwell ordered that from now on, anyone approaching the Great Wall, living or dead, would be shot directly.
After explaining some important things, Jack immediately headed south to meet up with the army heading south.
The Iron Throne is now at the end of its rope, especially after the Vale and Dorne sent troops at the same time.
No matter how powerful the army in the Western Region is, it will be of no avail in the face of sheer numbers. This is the characteristic of cold weapon warfare.
King’s Landing, Red Keep.
Snap——
Cersei smashed the tall crystal cup in her hand and said, “How dare they? This is rebellion and treason. I will kill them all!”
Cersei’s sharp roar echoed through the Hand Tower, and several people who came to attend the royal meeting dared to breathe.
After all, although Cersei is very arrogant and stupid, their current status was given by Cersei.
Silence fell.
In the end, Coburn sighed helplessly and advised: “Her Majesty the Queen Mother, you should take Her Majesty back to the Western Territory. There are 60,000 elites in the Western Territory, and there is still a chance to defend it.”
Although Qyburn’s words were euphemistic, the meaning he wanted to express was already obvious. There was a chance of survival if he fled to the West with Tommen Baratheon, but if he stayed in King’s Landing, he would be dead.
The terrain in the royal territory is flat and there are no natural dangers to defend. Under the terrain of the Great Plains, the 60,000 people in the Western Region are useless against an army of nearly 200,000 people, no matter how elite they are.
However, Cersei didn’t hear a word of it at all. Even if she did, she probably wouldn’t understand what Qyburn’s words meant.
“This is King’s Landing, this is the Red Keep, and the throne room is not far from us. If we go to the West, will Tommen still be the king?”
“And tell me, what’s the other person’s last name?
Poseidon?
No!
His last name is Targaryen!
He now has three dragons. As long as he captures King’s Landing, the Lannister will become a traitor, and none of you can escape! ”
Cersei’s sharp roar made everyone dissatisfied. Although you are right, but when you say it so bluntly, where do you put our faces?
Qyburn still had a faint smile on his face. He didn’t care at all about Cersei’s roar and anger. He just wanted to study undead magic.
In particular, the appearance of the White Walkers was widely known by Jack. Even the Iron Throne was labeled as anti-human by Jack and was said to be a lackey of the Night King.
Although anyone with a brain would not believe such simple public opinion, ignorant civilians would not think independently. God knows how much money Jack Poseidon spent to control public opinion.
In this case, Qyburn didn’t care about the game between the two parties at all, nor did he care whether he was the Night King’s lackey. He just wanted to study undead magic quietly. He even dreamed of tying the Night King over to study it.
It’s a pity that he doesn’t have that ability, nor does he have the financial ability to break away from a certain force to conduct research alone, but fortunately he has a smart mind.
“Your Highness the Queen Mother, actually there is no other way.
We can negotiate with Jack Poseidon first. Didn’t they say that as long as we don’t deal with the Night King, we are betraying humanity? We can also take advantage of this.
After Jack Poseidon arrives, we will negotiate with him. We are willing to work with him to deal with the Night King, but he must first capture a White Walker and show it to us. As long as the existence of the White Walker is confirmed, we will put down our personal Grudge, and fight against the White Walkers with him.
If Jack rejects us at that time, we will have the righteousness, and they will be the lackeys of the White Walkers.
If they agree to capture the White Walkers first, then we can delay sending troops until they capture the White Walkers. Anyway, if the White Walkers are real, we will attack their northern territory first.
He has spent so much money building the North. I don’t believe Jack Poseidon will give up the North easily. We can also gather all the people in King’s Landing as cannon fodder, so that he will not dare to use dragons to attack the city.
Jack Poseidon and the Night King started fighting first. After they were both injured in the fight, we used the dragon-shooting crossbow to make a sneak attack. By surprise, we could basically kill the dragon.
If we are lucky, Jack Poseidon’s dragon is likely to die in the battle with the Night King. Even if there are survivors, we can use crossbows to sneak attack. Anyway, the possibility of annihilating the dragons is very high! ”
Cersei’s words widened her eyes. Not only Cersei, but also the eyes of several people present widened. They didn’t expect that Qyburn, an old man who only knew how to play those dangerous magics, could come up with such a plan.
For them, what’s the difference between this and an eighty-year-old man holding the Dawnbringer and fighting the Night King alone?
If Qyburn’s plan really works, it would simply humiliate everyone at the table!
Cersei was very happy after she reacted. This plan really has a good chance of success. If Jack Poseidon loses the dragon, Cersei is confident that he can defeat him.
However, the happy Cersei didn’t notice that the eyes of the other people in the Royal Council began to become weird.
Just after the Royal Council ended, the Minister of Justice came to the Great Sept of Baelor under the cover of night.
After learning the content of the meeting, the High Sparrow immediately arranged for someone to send a letter to Jack Poseidon.
What the High Sparrow wanted to see was that Jack Poseidon, the Night King, and the Iron Throne would all be defeated, not for Cersei to get a big advantage.
As for Cersei, this stupid and arrogant woman, the High Sparrow dares to guarantee that as long as the external crisis is resolved, she will not hesitate to take action against the church.
So the High Sparrow wants to see a scene where all three sides suffer losses.
At that time, as long as the Night King fails, whether Cersei or Jack wins, they will have no spare energy to deal with the church.
And the church will usher in the best opportunity for development, and it is not impossible that theocracy will once again override the kingship!
