Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep - Chapter 269
c263 The glory of Poseidon will shine on every piece of land on the continent
303AC, June.
Since the outbreak of the War of the Five Kings, Westeros has experienced years of chaos. The new order originally established by the Lannister family has been disintegrated, and King’s Landing has been besieged again.
In fact, King’s Landing has been besieged more than once or twice. Even this time, there are 20,000 elite soldiers from the Westerlands and thousands of war sons from the church in King’s Landing.
But the situation faced by King’s Landing this time is unprecedentedly difficult.
Because at this time, King’s Landing is surrounded by not only 10,000 people from the North, but also 20,000 troops from the Vale and 10,000 troops from Dorne, as well as 5,000 iron fleets that blockade Blackwater Bay.
In addition, the Reach, which was defeated by the Westerlands army before, also sent 60,000 people to surround King’s Landing.
In other words, there are a full 100,000 troops and 5,000 navy outside King’s Landing at this time.
A large table has been set up outside King’s Landing. Cersei, Jaime and Qyburn are sitting on the side close to the gate of King’s Landing.
The Iron Throne took the initiative to propose a temporary reconciliation to jointly deal with the crisis from the North, and Cersei, Jaime and Qyburn represented the Iron Throne to attend the negotiation.
“Didn’t he come with you?” Cersei said impatiently.
“It’s not time yet, why are you in such a hurry? Your Majesty can come whenever he wants.” Tormund looked at Cersei with an unhappy face. If it weren’t for Kasar stopping him, he would have chopped off the head of this charming woman with his axe.
“There is only one king in the Seven Kingdoms, and that is Tommen Baratheon.” Cersei looked at Tormund with disdain. Tormund’s strange accent was the accent of the wild people outside the Wall.
“That’s right. There is only one king in the Seven Kingdoms, because our Majesty is the emperor. Emperor, do you know what the emperor means? Kill all the kings, and the remaining one will be the emperor!
As for that Tommen Baratheon you mentioned, I will chop off his head with my own hands and present it to His Majesty after the war. And you, you son of a bitch, I will strip you naked.”
Before Tormund finished speaking, Jaime suddenly drew out his sword and said with a warning:
“Shut your dog mouth, wildling, or I will cut off your tongue with my own hands, and then stick your head on the tip of the spear and hang it on the city gate for public display!”
“Hahaha, hahahaha, what did you say, you damn cripple, do you know what you are talking about?
I heard that you are siblings?
Oh, God, can you tell me what your sister tastes like? Is it more comfortable than a woman who is not related by blood? Or does this feeling make you feel more excited and make this bitch tighter?”
During the time when Tormund became a general, his mouth cannon skills have increased like a dragon.
Tormund’s words not only made Cersei’s face pale, but also made Jaime almost lose his mind, but Tormund still looked at Jaime without fear.
“Enough, we are here to negotiate, not to quarrel or fight, calm down.” Tyrion shouted.
Although Tyrion hated Cersei, he didn’t want to see Jaime get into trouble, because he knew very well that Tormund would chop and chop without considering the consequences.
“Shut up, dwarf, I have been unhappy with you for a long time. If it weren’t for His Majesty’s consideration for Princess Myrcella, you would have been burned by dragon flames. I think you don’t know your position, right?”
As one of the Northern Iron Triangle of the North, Segun didn’t give Tyrion any face at all. They were the people who looked down on Tyrion the most.
The Northern Iron Triangle of the North refers to Tormund, Segun, and Kasar. They are the three generals in the north of the North, representing the peak of power reached by the original wildling faction outside the wall.
Although the three of them are still subject to the control of the cabinet and the parliament, there is one thing that is beyond doubt, that is, the army is in their hands.
Tyrion looked ugly after being scolded by Segun. When he was about to fight back, a dragon roar came from the sky, and everyone immediately quieted down and looked up.
Carax fell from the sky, and the hurricane raised by his broad wings made everyone unable to open their eyes.
After Jack got off the dragon’s back, Carax did not return to the sky, but followed Jack closely, and finally stopped next to the negotiation table.
Looking at the approaching behemoth, Cersei and Jaime were very nervous, but Qyburn was curiously looking at Carax secretly.
In contrast to the reaction of the Iron Throne, the North led by Tormund Iron Triangle, Dorne led by Earl Yronwood, and the Valley led by Royce, as supporters of Jack Poseidon, looked at the Iron Throne with a proud look.
“You came so early?” Jack sat in the middle while speaking.
In fact, Jack arrived when Tormund was blasting the Iron Throne. Relying on Korakshu’s facial features, he knew very well what was happening below, so he deliberately came down a little later.
The moment Cersei saw Jack, she was stunned for a moment, and the memory of the Targaryen family that had disappeared in her mind reappeared.
Jack is definitely a Targaryen with very pure blood, especially the color of his hair and pupils, which is exactly the same as the Targaryen family.
“Are you Jack Targaryen?” Cersei asked.
“Jack Targaryen? Who is that? I don’t know, my name is Jack Poseidon.” Jack looked around and then said seriously.
“Silver hair, purple eyes, isn’t this the appearance of a Targaryen, do you think I’m a fool?” Cersei’s face sank, he felt that Jack was humiliating her.
“Ahem.” Qyburn coughed lightly to remind Cersei.
He didn’t understand why Cersei was so stupid. The Targaryen family ruled the Seven Kingdoms for 300 years. In most people’s minds, the Targaryen family was the orthodoxy of the Seven Kingdoms.
Jack Poseidon had changed his last name to Poseidon, which was equivalent to giving up the blessing brought by the Targaryen blood to a certain extent. Cersei was still emphasizing the other party’s bloodline, which was simply stupid.
However, Cersei didn’t understand Qyburn’s meaning at all. She continued to talk, and didn’t notice the weird expressions of the people around her.
Fortunately, no one from the River Reach came to participate. If Olenna came, she would definitely take this opportunity to mock Cersei severely.
“Okay, I’m not here to discuss my last name with you. I only give you two choices, surrender or wait for death.
This is not a discussion, but a notice. I know your relationship with Jaime. As long as you surrender, I will allow you to return to the Westerlands for Myrcella’s sake.”
Jack simply had no patience to listen to Cersei’s chatter, nor did he have the patience to listen to the temporary reconciliation conditions proposed by Qyburn.
When he heard Myrcella’s name again, Jaime couldn’t help but feel angry. He naturally knew that Myrcella was his daughter, innocent and beautiful, but she was kidnapped and forcibly possessed by Jack. Even Dorne, who was originally a party to the marriage, became an ally of Jack Poseidon.
But Jaime still held back his anger and said:
“There are 20,000 elite Westerlands in the city, and another 30,000 elites are somewhere in the king’s territory. As long as you dare to attack the city, my army can defeat you from inside and outside.”
Jaime wanted to use the Westerlands army to persuade Jack to retreat. In fact, Jaime wanted to take Cersei and Tommen to the Westerlands. The Iron Throne was not important in Jaime’s eyes.
But unfortunately, Cersei didn’t think so. Cersei told Jaime that Jack Poseidon would definitely kill Tommen Baratheon. Jaime was finally persuaded by Cersei and decided to fight to the death.
But whether Cersei was doing it for the power in her hands or for Tommen, Jaime didn’t know, didn’t want to, or didn’t dare to know.
“I think you are confused by this bitch. Open your dog eyes and see what it is?” As he said, Tormund pointed to Korak Hugh on the side.
“Hey! Tormund, how can you talk like that? This makes us look so rude. Shut up.” Jack symbolically scolded Tormund.
After all, if he was not there, it would be fine. But if he was there, he would scold the other party so badly. Although it was very cool, it would make him look very rude.
Cersei smiled coldly, “There are now 800,000 civilians in King’s Landing. If you dare to let the dragon attack the city, they will hate you and will not recognize your rule!”
When saying this, Cersei looked arrogant, as if she had grasped Jack’s life.
In Cersei’s opinion, if Jack uses the dragon, it will inevitably hurt a large number of civilians by mistake. Judging from Jack’s attitude towards the civilians in the North, the other party will never do this.
If Jack does not use the dragon, it will be even better. She can block Jack’s attack by relying on the tall walls of King’s Landing.
In this case, Jack’s best choice can only be to cooperate with her to deal with the White Walkers. As long as Jack cooperates with her, he will fall into her trap.
“Puchi, hahaha, sorry, don’t look at me with that surprised and angry look, it’s really too funny what you said.”
Jack couldn’t help laughing out loud. He really didn’t expect that the other party dared to negotiate with him because of the 800,000 civilians held hostage.
However, Tyrion spoke again at this time. He said to Cersei angrily:
“You actually bet on the lives of 800,000 people? That’s a full 800,000 people, not eight, not eighty or eight hundred!
Fighting the White Walkers is everyone’s responsibility. We can unite to fight the Night King, but you can’t use the lives of 800,000 people as a bet and a means of threat!”
Jack looked at Tyrion, who was righteous, with a smile. At this moment, Tyrion, whether in action, tone or expression, looked like a hero who cared about everyone.
But what Tyrion was thinking in his heart, probably only he knew.
Tyrion’s scalp was numb because of Jack’s smile, but fortunately Jack quickly retracted his gaze.
Jack looked at Cersei with a serious face, “So you think that using the lives of 800,000 people in the city can make me afraid to act rashly?”
“Did my preferential treatment of the civilians in the North give you an illusion? It seems that you don’t know much about me.”
While speaking, Jack looked at the civilians who were controlled on the wall of King’s Landing, and then waved his hand gently.
Koraxu immediately took action, flew directly over the wall and spit out a mouthful of dragon fire. The wall, guards, and tied civilians were all turned into part of the ruins by the dragon fire.
Cersei watched Karax destroy the wall of King’s Landing in just a moment. She was pale and fear instantly enveloped her. Even Jaime was pale.
At this moment, she felt like a clown.
“Why do you think you can threaten me with civilians? I treat the civilians of the North well because the North already belongs to the Empire.
As for the civilians of other forces, they are nothing more than resources to me, and they are renewable resources with strong resilience.”
“There are 800,000 civilians in the city. If you let the dragon slaughter them, or lead the troops to charge in, you will not be able to sit firmly on the Iron Throne!”
Cersei still wanted to struggle at this time, still trying to stop Jack with the lives of 800,000 people.
And Tyrion said to Jack with a sincere and worried face:
“Your Majesty, 800,000 is not a small number. The Mad King Aerys was overthrown because of the indiscriminate killing of innocent people.
If you forcefully attack King’s Landing, it will only make the 800,000 people in King’s Landing resent you, and your future rule will be turbulent.
In this case, why don’t we unite to deal with the army of the dead first, and then fight a decisive battle after solving the White Walkers. This will greatly reduce casualties, and the people in King’s Landing will thank you in the future.”
Jack was too lazy to pay attention to Tyrion, and decided to deprive him of all his power after Tyrion played the villain in the next reform.
Now it seems that this guy has a lot of small calculations in his mind, no wonder he made many stupid moves in the later period.
On the other hand, after destroying the wall, Carax did not continue to destroy it, but returned to Jack obediently.
“Even if these 800,000 people resent me, I don’t care. There will be no turmoil or crisis in my rule. Do you know why?”
“Why? Just rely on the dragon?” Tyrion asked subconsciously.
“Hiss–” A thunderous roar suddenly resounded through the Blackwater River, like a god descending to the earth!
Jack crossed his hands and laughed softly:
“Dragons have never been the foundation of my rule. The glory of the sea god will shine on every piece of land on the continent!”
