Chapter 271 Take refuge

Fort Stokeworth faces south. The ground floor is a [-]-square-meter stone hall with a ten-meter-long wooden table and two chandeliers full of candles hanging from the ceiling.

There are five fireplaces in a row on the left wall of the long table, and two of them are lit at this time; on the wall facing the garden on the right, there are five huge arched windows inlaid with colorful mosaic glass, corresponding to the fireplaces one by one.

Dany sat at the head of the table, with Barristan, Perestan, and Bronn, Norris, and Maester Kandar on both sides.

Well, Bronn strongly invited Her Majesty the Queen to come to the humble house. He said: Letting Her Majesty spend the night in the woods next to his castle will make him feel ashamed, sleepless, and restless.

The Academy already knew about her coming to Westeros, so Dany didn't care about making it public.

As for whether Bronn will learn from Xuecheng and murder her in violation of the guest's rights?

Dany wasn't worried, because he had no chance at all, and she wouldn't stay in his castle much longer.

The two dragons were gnawing on the beef leg bones in the yard, and when they had had their fill, Dany would leave overnight.

"Your Majesty, this is my son, Tyrion Cobbler," Bronn said to Dany, taking a white and chubby baby from Norris' arms.

"Yeah, aha!" The fat boy was wrapped in a leather jacket into a ball, biting his fingers, his blue eyes rolling around, very cute.

The corner of Dany's mouth twitched, and she took off the ruby-encrusted dagger from the leather sheath from her waist, and put it in the child's arms.

It was re-bought at the Volantis blacksmith's shop after mortgaged the Valyrian steel dagger to Lisbon. It was made by the master blacksmith of Kohor for fifteen gold coins.

"Hehehe" Loris, who looked like a round bucket, showed a silly smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Queen."

"What's with the name?" Dany asked.

"Well, Duke Tywin had just died, and Madame Tanda proposed to name him Tywin in order to please Queen Cersei.

As a result, the horse's ass was slapped on the horse's leg, and Queen Cersei was furious, thinking that the bastard was not worthy of using her father's name.

Well, the year before last in the riots in King's Landing, my wife Loris was raped by dozens of mobs in the backyard of the cobbler's shop, so this bastard was surnamed 'cobbler'. "

Bronn spoke lightly, as if it was someone else's wife who was raped, and his wife, Norris, kept giggling all the time, and only slightly twitched her expression when her most embarrassing past was mentioned in public.

Bronn continued: "In desperation, I can only name my son Tyrion. I hope this will satisfy the Queen Mother. Who would have thought that she would think that I miss my old master and even have a connection with Tyrion?" , That’s why I arranged for Balmain to murder me. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Bachelor Kandar, he was there at the time.”

Bachelor Kandal is a fat old man in his 50s, with gray hair and short hair. He has been looking at Dr. Perestan hesitating to speak, but the old doctor has drooping eyelids and doesn't respond at all.

At this time, when he heard the question from the emperor, he nodded and sighed: "At that time, Earl Bolong's knife was placed on Sir Balmain's neck, so there should be no mistake."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't help asking some words: "Your Majesty Daenerys, why are you here? And Dr. Perestan, you should be in Old Town at this time."

The red-nosed old doctor glanced at Bachelor Kandal lightly, but said nothing.

"Hehe, do you know about the Red Wedding?" Dany laughed.

"Walderfrey violated the rights of the guests and murdered the northerners?" Campbell wondered.

Dany raised her chin towards the old doctor whose face suddenly turned pale, "The Academy invited me to be a guest, and after discovering my identity, I poisoned me, ambushed swordmen, crossbowmen, and even prepared dragon shooting crossbows More than 100 units."

"What?" Bronn and Campbell exclaimed at the same time, with disbelief on their faces.

"Doctor, is this true?" Maester Campbell asked tremblingly.

The old doctor didn't answer, but from his increasingly miserable face, everyone knew that Dani was not lying.

"I shouldn't have invited this scum into my living room." Bronn made no secret of his contempt.

Bachelor Campbell anxiously asked: "Why? Doctor, did someone force you to do that? It must be the Earl of Hightower!"

"Oh, there's no need to say anything, I'm willing to wear black clothes." The red-nosed old man said with a miserable expression.

Campbell slumped on the high-backed wooden chair with a gray face and said: "The good reputation accumulated by the school city for thousands of years has been ruined by you."

"Bron, you didn't invite me here to talk nonsense, did you?" Dany smiled lightly.

"Your Majesty, when will your army arrive? I would like to pledge my allegiance to you." Bronn gritted his teeth and said firmly.

Dany smiled strangely, "There is no army. My white knight told me that the proud people of Westeros will unite in the face of foreign invasion, so I don't intend to bring the army from Slaver's Bay. If you are willing to offer me Loyalty is the first Lord of Westeros under my command."

"Uh..." Bronn's face turned blue for a while, then paled for a while, as ugly as eating shit.

"Hehe, don't worry, I'm not overpowering others. Those shrimp soldiers and crab generals under your command are not enough for a giant dragon to burn with dragon flames. Fort Stokeworth is not a battleground for military strategists. It's not worth me to force you at all." Dany Feng Qingyun smiled lightly.

Thinking of the terrifying ring of dragon flames before, thinking of Cersei's inexplicable hatred for herself, thinking of her behavior of seizing Stokeworth's title, which was clearly known by the Academy

Bronn's hesitant look became firm again: "Your Majesty, I would like to be the first lord to pledge allegiance to you."

Dany asked, "How many confidants do you have?"

"Two hundred armored soldiers, everyone has a horse. It may not be reliable, but I am confident that I can control them."

"Are they all hired riders?" Dany frowned.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to hide it from you. The property knights in the fief are obedient to me and are not worthy of trust. A farmer who has just put down his hoe is not as useful as a hired horse."

"I need you to give up Fort Stokeworth for a while, will you?"

Bronn gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes, this place is only a hundred kilometers away from King's Landing. When Queen Cersei leaves the Cathedral, she will never let me go."

In the past year, he spent great efforts in recruiting troops and horses, and assembled a full two hundred riders, which were prepared to deal with Cersei's crusade army.

"But where should I go?" asked Bronn again.

"Dragonstone."

"Dragonstone?"

"Winter is coming. I will not get involved in the disputes in Westeros in the next few years, but Dragonstone Island belongs to the Targaryen tribe, which means a lot to me. Two hundred warriors cooperate with my two dragons, and only a hundred defenders are taken down. Dragonstone is not difficult."

Dragonstone Island is also a dangerous place, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Earl Redwyne has more than a hundred ships and nearly 100 people have besieged Dragonstone Island with only more than [-] guards for several months (ps). Use the siege to consume all the food in the castle.

In order to end the siege of Dragonstone Island as soon as possible, so that the navy of Qingting Island can return to the bay and deal with the invasion of the Ironmen, Knight of Flowers decides to personally lead troops to attack.

Although the castle was finally taken down, he was poured under a pot of boiling oil. The potential beauty of the first women's clothing boss in "Game of Thrones" was disfigured and turned into a monster uglier and more ferocious than a hound

The Knight of Flowers lost half of his life, and Cersei also lost half of his fortune—all the troops participating in the siege were elite Lannisters, and the sailors of Arbor Island were only responsible for the siege at sea.

More than half of the 2000 elite soldiers that Tywin stayed in King's Landing were killed by the Knights of Hundred Flowers. The number of deaths exceeded a thousand, and half of the survivors were disabled.

That's why the later High Sparrow detained Cersei, but the Iron Throne was helpless, and the military strength was weak - Tywin originally took 2 people to King's Landing, and after the war, most of them disbanded and went home (peasant soldiers belonging to the vassal family) , part of which was brought to the river by James to suppress the rebellion (Riverrun City is still resisting).

It is precisely because of knowing the process and cruel results of the attack and defense of Dragonstone Island that Dany has the confidence to defend the Targaryen land.

Well, she never doubted whether she could take it, and the people in Bolong mainly helped her guard the island.

Bronn thought silently for a while, then nodded and promised, "When will I start to act?"

"You immediately prepare your troops and hire ships. I will go to the Great Wall and attack Dragonstone Island when I come back."

Although she accepted Bronn's allegiance, Dany did not change her mind of setting off overnight. Standing on the wide stone arch corridor outside the hall, overlooking the two dragons spreading their wings in the courtyard below, she spoke unscrupulously to the mercenaries around her. The count said: "Bron, in Westeros at this time, morality and ethics have collapsed. I will not trust anyone. Please use actions to prove your loyalty."

"I understand." Bronn nodded sullenly.

"There are only the two of us here now, and I can say some things more bluntly," Dany smiled faintly, "At this time, Westeros is rotten and riddled with holes, and I don't want to be with you in this stinky cesspit at all." Those people play Game of Thrones.

I will completely burn and abolish this old world, and build a new world full of sunshine and hope.When I come to the Seven Kingdoms, the first thing I do is to convene a great council to judge all the injustices of the past 20 years.

The old world can be overthrown, but the old things must not be forgotten, not only must not be forgotten, I also want to write a book to leave history, so that future generations will always remember how bad their ancestors were and take this as a warning. "

Speaking of this, she tilted her head and glanced at Bronn with twinkling eyes, and said meaningfully: "No one can escape the trial, including my father 'Mad King' Aerys.

If Xuecheng submits your black file to me, I will not hesitate to abolish your title if the evidence is convincing. Whether you live or die depends on whether you are willing to wear black clothes. "

"Your Majesty, I"

Dany raised her hand to interrupt his eager defense, and said with a smile: "Bron, there are some private things, you should cover them up firmly, if you can't cover them up, if others know, you should try to make up for it immediately.

Obviously, you can't hold back anyway.

But you are very lucky, you actually took the hounds into the woods in the middle of the night to search for the sake of two cows.

In return for your allegiance to me, at the very least, you will retain the fiefdom and castle of Fort Stokeworth, and completely abolish the surname of Stokeworth, and become the well-deserved Earl of Bolong with your original name.

Of course, your wife Luo Lisi can no longer have accidents like falling from a horse. I don’t care how many lovers and illegitimate children you will have in the future, but the heir can only come from her belly.

The upper limit Hehe, it is determined by your credit, there is no upper limit! "

Bronn dispelled all doubts in his heart, knelt down on one knee, and solemnly said: "Your subordinates will do their best to serve the Queen."

 (ps: During the offensive and defensive battle of Dragonstone Island, Martin did not specify how many defenders there were. He only used "a small garrison" to describe it in general. Personally, he guessed that there were no more than a hundred soldiers. After all, the cavalry he brought outside the Great Wall was only 1000 people.

  There was also Loras, the Knight of Flowers, who commanded the Lannister army and not the Highgarden army for two reasons.

  First of all, Tywin did not allow King’s Landing to have a large number of Riverbend people, and the Highgarden army had been sent away; secondly, Loras is the Kingsguard who serves the royal family (Lannister), not Master Highgarden anymore)
