Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 619 Take One Step and See Three Steps

Unexpectedly, the day after Aegon informed of the "Change in Highgarden", Dragonstone Island received a letter from Old Rose asking for help.

High Court has not been bloodbathed, and is still holding on at this time, and has not fallen. Old Rose asks the Dragon Queen to quickly support High Court, and she will repay her absolute loyalty.

The bay of the river has declined, and the Qingting Island fleet has been bloodbathed by the iron species.

From the beginning, Euron's goal was clear, the Iron Throne.

Baron never had the ambition of competing for the hegemony of the Seven Kingdoms. He was satisfied with restoring the ancient ways, wearing the crown and enjoying the king's addiction.

Therefore, the strategic plans of Euron and Balon are also different.

During the Rebellion of the Four Kings, the Royal Navy of the Iron Throne was buried in the Blackwater River, the Arbor Island fleet went to besiege Dragonstone Island, and Lanlister Port was empty of troops

This led to the Iron Fleet of the Iron Islands becoming the strongest force in the Sea of ​​the Setting Sun on the west coast of Westeros.

To the north, the ironmen occupied Deepwood Castle in the north, plundered the coastal towns, occupied Moat Calim, and blocked the passage between the north and the southern kingdoms—Balon considered himself the king of the north.

To the south, the Ironmen harassed Lanlist Harbor, seized the Shield Islands in the Reach, and threatened the sea trade routes of Old Town—this was just a bargaining chip, plundering a windfall, and at the same time forcing the Iron Throne to recognize Baron as the King of the North .

In other words, King Balon's goal in the Four Kings Rebellion was only the northern border.

He hated Stark, first hated that when he rebelled, Ed led the northerners to kill his son, broke through his castle, and shattered his dream of king; second, hated Ed for taking away his last son, Theon.

Well, Theon is Eddie's adopted son and a hostage in control of the Ironborn.

Of course, there was also a shortage of troops in the northern border, and the princes followed Luo Bai to the south, because it was the softest persimmon.

In short, Baron wanted to grab a wave and practice the ancient path of the Ironborn.

Unlike Euron, he directly announced his ambition to the Ironborn at the Kingsmoot: rule the world.

Well, at the king election meeting, the candidates have to publicly state their goals after ascending to the Seastone throne.

That is the campaign slogan.

Euron's goal is to plunder the world and become the king of Westeros; Asha's slogan is: Let's go to the north to occupy a land and farm!

One can imagine who the Ironborn will choose.

Of course, the ironborn believe in the ancient ways, but they are not stupid. If Euron does not show the strength to fulfill the "campaign slogan", no one will pay attention to him.

Euron blew the dragon's horn at the Kingsmoot, proving that he has the ability to capture the dragon.

Dragons equal kingship in Westeros.

But Euron didn't sit still and waited for little green and little white to come to him with the horn in his arms.

He targeted the dragon only because it reappeared.

Without the dragon, he is sure to ascend the Iron Throne.

The legacy left by Baron—the Bay of Calim and the Shield Islands—became the most important bargaining chip in his hand.

Carlin Bay blocked Bolton's return to the north, and there were two deer in the north intending to make a comeback, and the Iron Throne was in a hurry.

The Shield Islands block the mouth of the Mander River like a shield, and Highgarden is built behind the mouth.

In fact, from the name, one can understand the significance of the Shield Islands to Highgarden and the Reach. It is like a shield, blocking the storm from the sea: the storm of nature, the killing storm brought by the iron species.

After the fall of the Shield Islands, the Ironborn was able to plunder the villages and towns on both sides of the Mander River.

That is the direct fiefdom of the Tyrell family!

The "Mead River Tournament" that Dani participated in in Old Town was to recruit warriors to deal with the increasingly rampant Iron Pirates.

"Brave" Garland even left his newly acquired fief - Bright Water City, and led his troops back to Gaoting,

Therefore, the two bargaining chips in Euron's hands are very valuable, and neither King's Landing nor Highgarden will refuse to negotiate with him.

With Calim Bay and the Shield Islands, Euron can easily achieve two goals: marry Cersei and lure Highgarden Tyrell into a death trap.

Let's talk about marrying Cersei first.

This is easy to understand. If Tywin didn't die, he would have married Cersei to Balon as his concubine (Theon's mother is not dead yet), in exchange for the Iron Islands' submission to the Iron Throne again.

Euron's own conditions are better than Balon's, and his personality is more docile and rational - after ascending to the seat of Seastone, he restrained the ironmen and stopped plundering the towns in the Reach. Others took it for granted that he had a good personality.

Regent Kevan had no reason not to agree to his marriage request.

After becoming Cersei's husband, Euron is only three steps away from the Iron Throne.

Instigated by Cersei to kill Kevan (Cersei has a murderous intention, the King's Blood Curse Killing Technique can take effect), Euron is only two steps away from the Iron Throne.

When Cersei entered the palace for the second time and became the Queen Regent again, he, as the husband of the Regent, stood on the edge of the Iron Throne.

a step far!

Taking the last step is a matter of the future, and Euron has to help Cersei win the regency first.

Target: Highgarden Tyrell!

Going back to the previous topic, Euron used the shield islands in his hand as bait to lure Highgarden into a death trap.

Since planning to marry Cersei, Kevan, Tyrell, and Tommen have been on Euron's must-kill list.

Because they are a stumbling block for him to climb the Iron Throne, and because the wealth of Highgarden can help him maintain the rule of the Iron Throne—well, don't doubt, since he decided to get rid of Tyrell, Euron, who was born a pirate, has been eyeing Tyrell. The wealth that Lear left behind after his fall.

King's Landing is being supported by High Court!

That is to say, his plan to murder Gao Ting was not conceived out of nowhere, let alone killing people indiscriminately in order to practice the ancient way.

These plans are one after the other, take one step, see three steps, everything is under Euron's control.

So how to kill Highgarden Tyrell?

Negotiations on the return of the Shield Islands!

A long time ago, when Euron was still on his way to King's Landing, he announced his next plan: go to King's Landing to marry Cersei, and then return to Cailin Bay; Return to the Iron Islands by boat.When passing through Highgarden, collect a ransom from Tyrell, then withdraw the ironmen and fleet from the island, and return the Shield Islands.

Before he committed the "Shield Islands tragedy", Euron had a very good image in the eyes of the world, honest and polite, and kept his word.

For example, after confirming the marriage with Cersei, let the iron people evacuate Cailin bay immediately.

For example, on the second day after marrying Cersei, she started to pack her bags and prepare to go home, and she was not hindered by the beautiful scenery of King's Landing at all.

In the eyes of others, if Kevan hadn't been killed by Tyrion, the number one villain in the Seven Kingdoms, he would have taken his newly married second-hand wife, and both husband and wife returned home.

The in-laws had a change of "nephew killing uncle". In the eyes of everyone, Euron seemed very at a loss.

In particular, his unconscious wife changed her mind temporarily, not only unwilling to leave King's Landing, but also planning to compete with Tyrell for the regency.

You know, he and Tyrell still have a negotiation that was agreed a long time ago!

Euron found Prime Minister Metz, like a cowardly husband who can't control his crazy wife, and said to him in a helpless but frank and sincere tone:

"My wife is the mother of King Tommen, and she may be eligible to be the king's guardian.

But I know that Greyjoy and the Iron Islands will not be involved in this matter.

I can't control Cersei, but 'Greyjoy, words are like gold', I will definitely fulfill my previous promise-return the Shield Islands occupied by the ironmen.

As for the next step, it depends on the situation in King's Landing.

If Cersei becomes the Regent Queen Mother, of course I will happily return to King's Landing to be the Regent's husband.

If Cersei fails, I will take her away, she is still the Duchess of the Iron Islands. "

Mr. Inflatable Fish was very satisfied with Euron's self-knowledge, raised his chin indistinctly, nodded twice, and said with a faint smile:

"Duke Euron, you are an honest man. I will write to my mother and ask her to entertain you well."

Euron smiled reassuringly, and before leaving, he sincerely persuaded: "Master Mace, I hope that the battle between you and Zhuo Jing will not be enlarged or extreme.

After all, we are all family, and we are all for King Tommen. "

Leaving Cersei in King's Landing to stage a scene of court battles with the father and daughter of Tyrell, Euron went down the river all the way to Highgarden.

The negotiation went smoothly, and Euron the Candide took a ransom and immediately agreed to remove the Ironborn from the Shield Islands.

"Seizing the Shield Islands was my brother's plan, and I'm sorry for that. If it wasn't for the sake of explaining to my subordinates, I wouldn't want to take a single coin from you.

It's not that I don't love money, and I don't love money without iron, but compared with the three thousand golden dragons, I cherish the friendship of Gaoting more. "

At the high-level banquet prepared by Old Rose, Euron the Honest said this to the host family.

"Highgarden longs for the friendship of the Lord of the Iron Islands, too. To friendship, to the wedding of Lord Euron and Queen Cersei."

Old Rose held up the golden wine and toasted the guests.

Turning around, the old lady sneered and said to her two grandchildren: "The most stupid people will not trust ironborn, the friendship of ironborn is not as valuable as an inflatable fish in the Summer Islands!

At least, because of your father's stupidity, the price of inflatable fish has tripled.

When everyone is so angry with him, but there is nothing they can do about him, they will add a deep-fried inflatable fish to the dining table. "

—Is this about you?

The brave Garland and the lame Vilas looked embarrassed.

It seems that when word came from King's Landing that father (Mace, Hand of the King) and his sister (Queen Margaery) were contending for the regency, Granny served a plate of deep-fried aerated fish in a cherry sauce at every meal.

It's no wonder grandma is angry, Cersei swims across the street, and her reputation is bad; she gets married and loses her reason to be a regency in the Baratheon family.

Cersei is also notoriously stupid, and she has used more stupid tricks than Zhuge Liang has thought up in a lifetime.

It stands to reason that such a person is not qualified to compete with Tyrell anyway.

Mace is the father-in-law of King Tommen and is eligible to be regent; Margaery is the queen and is also eligible to be regent.

There are still a lot of Tyrell's friends in the court, no matter how you look at it, Tyrell has the advantage.

However, Mace and Margaery are reluctantly split with Cersei.

It's an honor to be [-]/[-] with the Dragon Queen, but it's a [-]/[-] with Cersei.

In fact, the regent chosen by Old Rose is Little Rose.

First of all, the name is justifiable enough, it is too common in Westeros for wives to manage their husband's fiefs and castles; secondly, Little Rose is smart enough.

Only the wrong name, no wrong nickname.

Margaret, nicknamed "Little Rose", is passed down in the same line as the old Rose. She has inherited the wisdom and experience of her grandmother; while the Duke of Metz called the "inflatable fish", which was taken by his own mother (Old Rose). , even his most proud fighting ability

I have fought countless battles in my life, and I have always fought more and less, but there is no victory.

Seven Nations No.1 will still be controversial.

The old man thought he was the No.1 general; Er Lu refused to accept, gritted his teeth, and glared at the old knight; Tai Wen squatted in the latrine, watching the two sneer; Randall Tully didn't say a word, his face was full of stubbornness; " "Blackfish" Brynden Tully raised his hand quietly, just in time to see Earl Redwyne beside him; Ed and Robert stood beside him, eager to try

But if you ask who is the most mediocre general in the Seven Kingdoms, everyone will turn their attention to the inflatable fish lamenting under the city of Storm's End.

The instructions given to him by the old rose were very clear, to fully support Margaery as queen regent.However, he was not satisfied with being the king's hand, so he went a step further and became the father-in-law of the regent, just like Tywin and Kefeng.

Incompetent, but also want to pretend to be big, talking about the inflatable fish adults.

No matter how well Euron spoke, the old Rose did not trust him.

At this time, Cersei was competing with Tyrell for the regency, and she was worried that the iron people would play tricks, so she directly arranged for the strongest force to take over the Shield Islands.

Lord Redwyne's Arbor Fleet, Garlan Tyrell's Knights of Highgarden.

They went to the Shield Islands together, and they also stepped into Euron's trap together, and the whole army was wiped out.
