Chapter 677

"The winner is king, and the loser is out?" Aegon's eyes lit up, and he was about to agree immediately.

"Oh--" Tyrion snapped his fingers strangely, touched Aegon's group with his shoulder, and interrupted his next words.

"How brave King Stannis is to challenge Aegon the Dragonknight!"

Erlu glared at the dwarf, gritted his teeth, and said, "Since when are you still a dragon in a knight's competition?"

Tyrion nodded and said with a smile: "If you try by combat for the sake of justice, it must be fair and just.

But at this time, as you said, the winner is the king. In order to compete for the Iron Throne, of course all advantages must be used. "

"Very good, you finally said what was in your heart, for the sake of the Iron Throne, you are finally going to take action against me, any trials, such as Renly, are all excuses." Erlu sneered.

At this point, Tyrion stopped playing tricks and said plainly: "Prince Renly is not an excuse, Brienne has her own vows and choices.

His Majesty Aegon will pay attention to the enmity between you and her, but will not participate.

For now, let's skip Brienne and focus on your relationship with His Majesty Aegon.

Everyone knows that there is only one Iron Throne, and there can only be one king. When two kings meet, one of them will leave.

Sooner or later there will be a contest for kingship between you and His Majesty Aegon.

Your Majesty Aegon has the support of the valley, the river, the stormlands, Dorne, half of the north and half of the river. You have less than four hundred direct line troops left, with no foundation, wandering around, and no chance of winning.

As for recruiting Braavosi mercenaries

Most of the famous mercenary regiments in the world have been collected by the Allied forces, and they are probably being ravaged by the Dragon Queen right now.

Even if you can find some small mercenary groups with low strength, reputation, and reputation, it will not change the final outcome except to make the Seven Kingdoms more miserable.

But the winter is coming, and the ghosts are wandering outside the Great Wall, and the Seven Kingdoms can no longer stand the turmoil.

Why don't you voluntarily put on black clothes and go to the Great Wall to be the savior.

Your daughter, Princess Shireen, will be the heir of the Stormlands, returning to Storm's End in no time.

Both your wife and courtiers retain their titles and fiefdoms, and they are free to choose their future path. They can even continue to believe in the Lord of Light without forcing the fiefdom subjects. "

Aegon's lips twitched a few times, wanting to interrupt the dwarf's assertion.

In the end, out of trust and to save the dwarf's face, he only gave him a veiled look with dissatisfied eyes.

The dwarf also blinked, and quietly replied a message to be safe.

——They didn't decide to return Storm's End to Baratheon before. Aegon once told Sansa to have a few more babies, and then arrange for the second son to inherit Storm's End.

Erlu didn't hesitate at all, and his tone was as firm as iron, saying: "I will not give up my power to a person of unknown origin, that would be irresponsible to Baratheon and the people of the Seven Kingdoms!"

"The silver-haired king's offer is generous enough, why do you refuse?" Greatjon couldn't help but ask.

"No matter how you look at it, you have no chance of winning." Meggie muttered.

Even the knights on Erlu's side were stupefied, looking at their king, hesitating to speak, eyes full of anticipation.

——They used to be aristocrats, but they rebelled with Erlu, and were deprived of their fief and title by the Iron Throne long ago.At this time, Tyrion promised to restore their titles, almost achieving their goal of following Erlu.

Davos hesitated for a moment, approached Erlu, and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, don't be impulsive, you can really think about it."

Uh, even the Hand of the King was moved.

The veins on Erlu's forehead were throbbing, his teeth were grinding and creaking, and the anger in his eyes almost cooked the onions.

"I will also wear black clothes. Wherever you go, I will go." Davos smiled wryly.

The anger in Erlu's eyes gradually disappeared, and he said lightly: "Then accompany me to the end, even if you die in battle."

"Princess Keshirin"

Seeing that Erlu and Davos seemed to be in a dispute, Jon's heart moved, guessing that the onion knight was persuading his king, and he glanced at the flaming red heart knights, more than half of them showed signs of emotion.

"Why don't you all go to the next room to discuss it first, and then make a decision?"

"We have no objection," Tyrion said quickly.

Erlu squinted at Jon's face and asked, "Does our covenant still count?"

"Of course." Jon touched his nose and nodded awkwardly.

He also regretted it now, regretting that it was too early for Erlu's thief boat.

That day Dany and Erlu arrived at the Great Wall almost at the same time. After seeing the Dragon Queen's bravery, strength and kindness (forgive him and Erlu), Jon decided to take refuge in her: rely on the Dragon Queen's power to avenge and take back Winterfell , and Stark pledges his allegiance to her.

However, Dany has no malice towards Jon and Stark, but she doesn't have a good impression of them, let alone the loyalty of the northerners.

Almost at the same time, Erlu took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Jon, offering to bring justice to Ed and Robb.

And in the name of the king, restore Jon Stark's identity, that is, leave the night watchman team.

— Robb did the same.

In front of these kings, the sacred oath is really no different from the chamber pot, which is used when needed and thrown away when not needed.

At that time, Jon was full of integrity. Although he was moved, he still refused to give up the oath of the night watchman, but he recognized the alliance between Stark and Erlu.

Aegon hadn't even been to Slaver's Bay then.

Even if Jon later began to lose his integrity and decided to restore Stark's identity, Aegon was still taming the dragon in the slave bay-complaining to the black and selling misery.

Therefore, there is an embarrassing situation today - he wants to help his brother-in-law for the sake of logging; but before the oath, he is an ally and vassal of Erlu at this time.

Erlu pointed to Aegon and asked Jon, "If I finally decide to go to war with him, will you fulfill your vassal duties?"

Jon thought for a while with a face full of embarrassment, and said, "Your Majesty, before I became the Lord of Winterfell, my sister Sansa had already led the northern border to serve His Majesty Aegon.

The northern border has been divided, but I can't let the nobles in the northern border fight among themselves, so I can only help each other. "

Erlu took a deep look at him, turned and left.

"Why did you return Storm's End to him?"

Coming to the guest room Jon prepared for Targaryen, Aegon finally began to vent his dissatisfaction.

"Didn't Stannis agree?" Tyrion propped his chin in thought, absent-mindedly.

"What if he agrees?"

"No, I know that guy's character, stubborn and stubborn." Tyrion frowned.

"What if?" Aegon insisted.

Sir Anda Royce persuaded: "Your Majesty, haven't you noticed? After Lord Tyrion offered generous surrender terms, Stannis's subjects were all moved, and even the Onion Knight had a dispute with him." , One word will make the opponent's army lose heart, and we are almost on the verge of victory."

"I just..." Aegon waved his arms unconsciously.

"If it were me, I would definitely surrender." Finally he said helplessly.

"The woman's body, is it burnt?" The dwarf suddenly looked at Count Maggie.

"Melisandre?" Mei Ji was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "After confirming her identity, I burned it in the Godswood on the spot, and there was nothing left except for a few rubies."

"Stannis didn't object?" the dwarf asked again.

"Of course he disagrees, but this is Winterfell, and we have a lot of people." Greatjon said.

Erlu only had 1000 paid mercenaries left, and the Flame Heart Knight in his early [-]s. He and his more than [-] clansmen and northern nobles all returned to the King of the North after taking Winterfell.

On Aegon's side, there were 1 elite knights from the valley and the river, and nearly 6000 northerners who were sidelined. Jon brought back [-] people from the Great Wall, and then gathered the soldiers of the nobles. , clan people, and even the captives who were not directly related to Bolton who were taken in after taking Winterfell.

If Jon is willing to continue to lose moral integrity—to give up the oath completely, there is no need for such trouble at all, and the army will directly press on him, let alone Melisandre, even if there are 100 red-robed women around Erlu to form a mage group, it will not work.

The dwarf also wanted his little brother to lose his integrity, and Jon was willing to continue to sell his integrity if necessary, but at this time, seeing that his brother-in-law had a [-]% chance of winning without his own help, he wanted to leave a fig leaf around his crotch.

Not long after, Jon brought Erlu's decision to his brother-in-law: "He didn't want to surrender, and ordered the whole army to be on alert immediately and block the West Castle.

As for Sir Brienne

If he wins, she will die, if he loses, she will gain glory. "

The overall shape of Winterfell is a rectangle. The godswood, the hall, the main castle where the master lives, and the guest room are separated from the tower by the inner wall, each occupying one corner of the rectangle.

Of course, they are an organic whole and can communicate with each other under normal conditions.

The guest room where Erlu lives is not only a bedroom, but also connected to the school grounds, stables, kennels, blacksmith shop, kitchen, library, etc. It has a large area, separated from the main castle, and is divided into east and west castles.

At this time, Erlu sealed off the entire West Castle, planning to come and defend the city.

"What did he think? There is no chance of winning." Aegon said incredulously.

"Stannis is determined. Think about it, he led more than 3000 tired and hungry soldiers before, through thousands of kilometers of rugged mountains and deep snowy forests, with almost no supplies, but still Dare to attack the heavily guarded Winterfell." Jon sighed.

He began to regret again, he shouldn't have ended up saving Erlu at that time, and let Xiao Bopi skin him directly, so there is no trouble today.

"How's his morale?" Anda Royce asked.

"Bad, very bad. The mercenaries couldn't see the hope of victory, so they began to work abroad. Half of the flame knights were disappointed and lost all energy.

But he may have gotten used to it. Before the campaign against Winterfell, the soldiers were so hungry that they started murdering their comrades for meat, and their morale was ten times lower than it is now.

But for the courage of the soldiers, seeing the king draw his sword and take the lead in charging, the soldiers will be encouraged no matter what.

Don't doubt, Stannis has always been at the front, braver than anyone else. "Jon frowned.

"There are such tenacious people in the world!" Aegon wondered and horrified.

"You should have known long ago that normal people would surrender after the fiasco at the Blackwater River." Tyrion shook his head and smiled wryly.

"You should have let me duel with him, I have tile-steel armor," Aegon complained, looking at him.

"You don't understand, even though Stannis is skinny right now, but he has participated in too many wars, he is a real veteran, veteran, and has a hundred times more combat experience than you.

And, you forgot the Lightbringer?

That sword can end the long night, can't it kill you?

It can't kill you, but it can also roast you. "

Then, Tyrion raised his head again, looking at Jon with burning eyes, "Do you want Winterfell to be reduced to a battlefield?"

"You asked me to help him expel you?" Jon asked back.

"Then fight!" Aegon stood up, looked through the window, and looked firmly at the west castle.

"Hit! Wildfire will serve you first." Tyrion gritted his teeth.

Two days later, Aunt Dani received the bad news that her eldest nephew was gone.
