Barristan's eyes widened as he looked at the fat merchant in disbelief. "Are you sure that Duke Renly died at the hands of Stannis?"
Ever since Slaver's Bay began to gather information, they had already known about Renly's death. However, other than Danny, the others were not sure about the cause of Renly's death.
Danny had also vaguely mentioned that the one who benefited the most was the murderer.
Obviously, Stannis, who had gained the twenty thousand troops of the Stormlands and the sole right to inherit the Iron Throne, benefited the most from Renly's death. (Renly was the Duke of the Stormlands, and Stannis's fief was Dragonstone Island, the land of the Targaryens.)
However, neither Barristan nor Jorah Mormont agreed with her conjecture.
Stannis was an upright man to the point of being rigid. It was hard to imagine why Eide Stark did not become sworn brothers with him, Jorah said with a complicated expression.
Stannis was not popular because of his adherence to the law and traditional morals. If not for the fact that he was married and had a daughter, many people would have thought that he was the reincarnation of Saint Berle. This was Barristan's evaluation of Erlu.
In any case, in the hearts of the people of Westeros, Stannis was a man of integrity, tenacity, and bravery. He was not a sly person, and he would never commit the crime of killing his own family.
Well, there were three unforgivable crimes in Westeros: violating the rights of guests, not following the sacred oath, and being stained with the blood of family members.
The fat merchant pursed his sausage-like lips and said with absolute certainty, "I have received news that Catelyn Tully, Duchess of Stark, saw Stannis's shadow slash Renly's throat with her own eyes. Even his laryngeal armor was cut open like tofu."
"This magic power … how is it possible?" Jorah Mormont said in a daze.
He did not want to believe the words of the Volantis merchant, but he understood that in order to get a discount from the Queen, he would try his best to get the most accurate information.
Well, this fat man was one of Danny's intelligence personnel. He was in charge of collecting information west of Volantis, especially information related to the Westeros.
There were ships from the Seven Kingdoms docking at the port of Volantis almost every day.
"You're making a fuss over nothing. Her Majesty has dragons." Faust didn't think much of it.
Then he went on. "Not long after Renly's death, Renly's new wife, Margaery Tyrell, the little rose, remarried Joffrey — in a secret arrangement that no one knew of before.
In other words, Gao Ting, who had once supported Lannister, had changed his allegiance to Lannister.
Duke Tywin, good move!
With a flip of his hand, he could create clouds and rain with a flip of his hand. He had almost single-handedly changed the situation where Lannister was fighting one against five.
Stannis attacked the King's Landing from both land and sea. In the end, the imps set fire to all the warships, and the allied armies of Tywin and Tyrell cut off their escape route. In the end, they miserably fled back to Dragonstone Island.
Theon Beira is out. "
"They haven't even shot down the wild goose yet, and they're already arguing over whether to braise it or steam it. Isn't Erlu too stupid?" Danny said with disdain.
If Erlu and Sanlu worked together, with Dragonstone Island's huge navy and Renly's 70,000 infantry and cavalry, who in the Westeros would be their match?
If they took down the Iron Throne, no matter who became the King, they would still be the victors.
But Erlu was an idiot. They didn't even deal with Lannister before they started fighting among themselves.
Chora and Barristan had previously insisted that Stannis was one of the top three generals of the Seven Kingdoms.
Oh, Duke Tywin, who had been beaten to a pulp by the rookie Robb on the battlefield, was also one of the top three generals.
According to Barristan's "obscure" disclosure, Barristan Thermi was naturally the top general, then Stannis was second, Tywin was third, Rando Tarly was fourth, and Blinden Tully (Blackfish) was fifth.
Well, Robert didn't count. He was recognized as the top general, not a general who commanded an army.
Hearing the disdain in Danny's words, Barristan frowned and retorted, "How many people can remain calm when faced with the temptation of the Iron Throne?"
"Alright, that makes sense," Danny reluctantly agreed with him and nodded to Fatty Faust, "Continue."
"Stannis is out, and the only one left is Robb Stark." Fatso Faust shook his head in disdain. "He's an idiot. Because of a woman, he broke his engagement with Marquis Frey and caused the death of his entire family."
"That Snow, the bastard of the Northern Territory …" Barristan frowned as he thought about that name.
"The captain of the Ginkgo Maiden, Jordan Snow," Mormont said with a gloomy face.
"Yes, that's him. What's that guy doing? Did he encounter a shipwreck? "Whitebeard was confused.
Mormont looked at Fatty and asked, "How many people died in the Northern Territory, nobles?"
"You know?" Faust asked in surprise.
"Is it Marquis Frey of River Delta? He killed Robb Stark at the banquet. "Whitebeard asked.
Faust was even more surprised, but he did not ask any more questions and said directly, "Yes, the young master broke the engagement, but he was unwilling to give up the power of the Frey family, so he asked his uncle to marry a daughter of the Frey family for him.
Although Frey agreed, he had already secretly colluded with Roose Bolton and Tywin. On the night of the wedding, five thousand drunken Northern Territory soldiers were all dead. "
* Smack! * Jorah Mormont clapped his hands and cursed with a terrible expression, "I told you, that red-haired boy will kill everyone.
And that old leech Lu Bolton, he even did something like killing a lord. Does he have any sense of honor? "
Danny stared blankly at the knight who had lost his honor …
"Oh, you're also a noble of the Northern Territory." Faust came to a realization and comforted him, "Don't be agitated, Lannister didn't have a good ending either, just after the rebellion of the three kings was quelled, King Joffrey was poisoned to death at the wedding banquet."
Jorah Mormont's eyes widened and said in disbelief, "What about the Kingsguard? The king's food is checked by special personnel, right? "
He was also a Kingsguard, although Barristan looked down on him a little, he did his best to teach him the skills to protect the royal family.
"It's said that the king's uncle, the little devil Tyrion, poisoned the wedding banquet, no one was on guard," Fat Faust said.
Barristan said sadly, "I didn't expect that the Seven Kingdoms' vassals would fall to such a level, killing their own kin, violating the sacred marriage contract, and murdering the guests at the wedding. Morality is lost, etiquette is broken, music is broken … "
He could not help but look at Danny, his melancholy blue eyes flashing with anticipation, "Your Majesty, only you can save the Westeros now. Why don't we find a chance to return to the Westeros? "
"Ha, the alliance is organizing an expeditionary force, if you return to the Westeros now, don't you want Slave Bay anymore?" The fat merchant glared.
Danny smiled and said to the merchant, "Faust, the news you brought is very valuable, I'll give you a 15% discount on the sugar, how about it?"
"Haha, thank you, thank you, Your Majesty!"
The fat man was also tactful, after a few words of thanks, he immediately took the initiative to say goodbye.
After all the outsiders left, Danny frowned and said to Whitebeard, "I don't care about the alliance, but there are only a few months left in autumn, and then there will be years of cold winter. If we return to the Westeros, what's your plan, sir? "
"I don't know, the current situation of the Seven Kingdoms is beyond my imagination, but there's one thing I'm sure of …" The old man's eyes were like a mother who had just lost her child, there was confusion and pain, "The Seven Kingdoms must not have prepared for food storage!"
It was also when he saw Danny frantically farming that the old man realized that 11 years of long summer meant that there would be at least four years of severe winter, but the Westeros who had been ravaged by war did not prepare for winter at all.
Well, regarding Danny's slogan — "Prepare for ten years of long nights", he only thought that the Queen was lenient in anticipating the enemy, he did not really think that there would be ten years of cold winter.
"Sir Jorah, what do you think?" Danny turned to the miserable man who seemed to have lost his father.
Uh, his father was really dead, not only was his father dead, he did not know how many members of his aunt's family were left.
"I think … if it's possible, I would like to go home and take a look," Jorah's eyes emitted a strange light, "Your Majesty, how long does it take to fly from Slave Bay to Bear Island?"
"This …" Danny crossed her arms in front of her chest, tilting her head and thinking.
The Megalosaurus's fastest speed was over 300 km/h, but it could not last long and was not suitable for long-distance travel.
If it glided at a high altitude, perhaps it could last a day and a night?
She had not tried it.
If it glided at a high speed, that was, flapping its wings from time to time, accelerating and gliding again, it should be able to reach 200 km/h.
Then, she asked Elisa to return to her room and take out the world map, preparing to estimate how big this world was …
Slave Bay was 2200 km away from Volantis, more than 4000 km away from Pentos in a straight line, and from Bear Island … uh, separated by two continents and an ocean, about 9000 km?
Danny lay on the map, measuring with a ruler little by little.
"If there are no major problems with Blackie's physical fitness, we can reach Bear Island in about four days," she said.
"Four days?!" The two Kingsguard were shocked at first, then turned into ecstasy, "Oh my god, the Megalosaurus is too strong, no wonder Valleglia can rule the world."
"Let's take a trip back to the Westeros before the allied forces attack!" Barristan said energetically.
"If we go to Volantis, or even Kohor or Pentos, it's not a problem, but Westeros …" Danny looked hesitant.
"Because of the sea route?" Barristan asked.
Danny walked to the northern wall of the pyramid, under the warm morning sun, white sails dotted the blue sea, there were ships sailing along the coastline towards Astapor, there were also merchant ships carrying sugar, copper, liquor, olive oil, and other goods slowly leaving the dock.
In the past, only a small number of ships came here to buy the Immaculate, but now the port area's sea trade seemed to be the same as the city, as if it was reborn, with infinite vitality.
Even if the Gith's "United Nations" had been trying to block the sea trade at Slave Bay, under the deterrence of the Megalosaurus, their fleet did not dare to enter Slave Bay.
If they did not enter Slave Bay, they would not be able to block the trade of Astapor, Yuankai, and Meereen.
The reason was simple, the United Nations could not stop the merchant ships leaving Slave Bay.
First of all, they could not stop them. Slave Bay's estuary was very wide, to completely block it would require too many ships, the price was too high, and the allied forces could not afford it.
Secondly, what could they do if they blocked it?
Most of the merchant ships coming to Astapor came from Volantis, with the introduction of sugar, high-concentration liquor, and other products into the world market, Queers also had merchants coming to Slave Bay to buy goods.
Queers and Volantis were important members of the alliance, they could not rob their own merchant ships, right?
As for the strict verbal warnings …
For the sake of the slave trade, they dared to fight the dragon, for the sake of the goods in Slave Bay, why would the merchants who made huge profits not dare to fight their own government?
But the premise of all this was that the Megalosaurus was in Slave Bay.
Barristan thought that Danny was worried that the United Nations' fleet would rush into Slave Bay if the Megalosaurus did not appear for a long time.
After all, the Westeros were too far, a round trip would take half a month.
"It's not just because we need to protect the sea route, the Westeros are very special."
