Adrian Setiga, the Count of Crab Island, also known as "Red Crab", was a strong old knight in his fifties. Unlike Valerian, he had three sons and one daughter.
After the War of the Usurpers, as a vassal of Dragonstone Island, he had always fulfilled his obligations to Stannis, but that was all.
During the War of the Four Kings, when Stannis rebelled, the old crab did not dawdle and personally led the family's main ship, the Red Crab, into battle.
However, just like how the old Skin Flayer had followed Luo Bainan on his expedition but left half of his main force in the Terror Fortress, the old Crab had not gone all out either. His two grown sons had been left at home and only half of the family fleet had been taken away.
Onion Knight Davos had lost three of his sons in the battle at the Black River. It was obvious how cunning the old crab was.
Now that the real Dragon Queen had arrived, the old man immediately took out all of his family's assets.
Of course, the old crab's intentions were not pure. He saw an opportunity …
Two Megalosaurus, one black and one white, were bathed in the golden sunlight. They broke through the clouds and fog, spiraling down towards the pier on the coast.
"Ssss —"
"Ssss —"
The loud and clear dragon roar alarmed more than half of the residents of the small Sea City. It also stunned the busy sailors at the docks and the loudly shouting sea merchants.
Unfortunately, Dahei could not speak the common language. Danny looked at the crowd's reaction and thought regretfully.
Well, she had verified it in the past two days. Dahei could indeed speak, but it spoke in the language of animals (which was actually the original language). She couldn't understand it with her ears, but she could understand it in her dragon spirit state.
— Danny.
Uh, it only knows how to call its mother by her first name, just like a human baby.
However, since his vocal cords could produce speech, Danny was trying to teach him the common language.
Perhaps, in less than two years, Blackie would be able to speak like Smaug?
"Megalosaurus? It really is the Megalosaurus. The Megalosaurus has been resurrected. " After Count Adrian finished lecturing his sons, he went to the side of the ship to relieve himself. Tears streamed down his face and he could not speak properly.
"True Dragon. Targaryen is a True Dragon …"
"Long live Queen Danny! Long live the True Dragon!"
The residents of Sea City clamored and cheered loudly.
"The dragon is real. We're in big trouble. We need to inform the King's Landing and warn King Toman and Queen Margaret." Some mercenary knights hid the worry and shock in their eyes and quietly retreated into the crowd.
"Seven Gods above, the Westeros are about to change."
In the hotels, on the streets, and at the docks, merchants from all over the world looked up at the sky in shock and fear.
When Barristan and the young count, Monterey, led a group of people from the floating wooden castle on the mountain and separated the crowd with the cooperation of the dock guards, Danny rode Big Black down.
"Your subject, Adrian, greets Your Majesty."
Mr. Adrian and his two sons were handsome, with silver streaks of blonde hair and purple or blue eyes.
The old crab was in his fifties. He had a square face, a high nose bridge, and a straight chin. His body was still tall and strong. He had not changed shape, but his old face was a little oily.
Of the two little crabs, the older one was in his early twenties and the older one was in his late twenties. They were both tall and strong with handsome faces.
"Your Excellency, I'm very grateful that you could bring people here so quickly." Danny smiled as she helped the old count up.
"I've been waiting for the True Dragon to return. I wish I could grow wings and fly here in the middle of the night." The old crab said excitedly with red eyes.
"With such a loyal subject like Your Excellency, I don't have to worry about not succeeding."
Danny smiled as she exchanged some pleasantries with the old crab. She then began to introduce the people on both sides.
Dragon Queen only had Barristan on her side. Everyone knew his character, so there was nothing much to introduce.
"These are my sons, Eris and Rega." The old crab proudly pulled his two sons to show off to Dragon Queen. "They are great lads who are proficient in cavalry and naval warfare. Eris is only 23 years old this year and has experience in sailing to Iban and Midsummer Islands.
Rega is also great. When I was trapped in King's Landing, he led the soldiers of Crab Island to defeat a few pirates who came to take advantage of me. "
This name …
Danny did not know how to complain.
She did not know that the old crab had an eight year old son and a twelve year old daughter named Robert and Cersei at home.
Uh, with the old crab's status, there was no need for him to curry favor with anyone.
He purely wanted to bless his children with the names of King, Prince and Queen, although the ending of the four of them was …
"I'm Eris Sytega. Greetings, Your Majesty." The eldest brother with a buzz cut looked into the eyes of the Dragon Queen and lowered his head with a red face.
The second son, Rega, did not hide his admiration for the beautiful queen. He stared at her and volunteered, "I am Rega Sytega. Your Majesty, your beauty is beyond the imagination of the world and beyond the limits of words. Please let me be your Navy Commander and serve you faithfully. "
Danny resisted the idea of using Human-Dragon Fusion and releasing 'Electric Eye' to scare him. She only smiled faintly and said, "I have the idea of taking down Dragonstone Island. Let's go to Floating Wood Castle and talk more."
"Screech —" Blackie flew into the sky and White Knight brought over a horse for Danny.
She walked side by side with the old crab and the young count. White Knight and the two little crabs brought up the rear, followed by a group of knights. Two to three hundred people walked towards Cliff Castle.
"Dragonstone Island should be taken down immediately. Years ago, Aegon set out from Dragonstone Island and landed at Blackwater Bay before conquering the Seven Kingdoms.
Your Majesty can repeat the path of your ancestors and use Dragonstone Island as a stronghold. Send out orders to all the families in the King's Domain and find another shore to land.
Tywin is dead, Jaime is disabled and Lannister is badly injured.
In the past six months, Cersei has squandered all the wealth and reputation left to her by her father. She is also locked in the Great Cathedral by Sparrow. Who knows, when you arrive at King's Landing, the people will swarm out and put you on the Iron Throne. "The old crab excitedly advised the queen.
"I only want to take back the Targaryen land, the Iron Throne … Let's wait until next summer to consider starting a war of conquest!" Danny shook her head.
"Why? You have the dragon and the Seven Kingdoms are in chaos. This is a rare opportunity! If we wait until summer, there will be a few years of buffer. Lannister will have recovered and sorted out the chaos. Then, Tommen will have come of age and the Seven Kingdoms will be united. We will be in big trouble. "The old crab said anxiously.
"There are Deviant Ghosts," the young count said.
"Deviant Ghosts?" The old count was stunned. "Monterey, what stories did your wet nurse tell you?"
"It wasn't my wet nurse. It was the queen who told me that there are Deviant Ghosts outside the Great Wall. She even fought two Deviant Ghosts. The Deviant Ghosts admitted defeat and knelt on the ground. They called her the 'Strongest Queen of Mankind.' "Monterey's round face was full of admiration.
The old crab's mouth twitched. He lectured his little brother as an elder brother. "Monterey, you are already six years old. Why can't you tell the difference between stories and reality? Her Majesty is telling you a story. You have to understand that legends and stories are all fake. "
"Cough cough …" Danny coughed a few times and said, "Count Adrian, the Deviant Ghosts are real."
"Uh, really?" The old crab and the young crab were stunned.
Could it be that the City of Knowledge was not lying? Her Majesty was really the Mad King the Second?
Barristan saw the doubt on their faces and said seriously, "At that time, six Deviant Ghosts led thousands of ghouls to attack the barbarians' camp. The queen rode her dragon and bravely challenged the Deviant Ghosts to a battle. The Night Watchers, Stannis and the barbarians all saw it."
"Stannis?" The old crab was even more shocked to hear the news of his old master. "Why did he go to the Great Wall?"
"The King of the Barbarians attacked the Great Wall. He went to support the Night Watchers and subdue the barbarians and the northerners. He wanted to make a comeback." Danny said.
"You, let the dragon burn him to death?" The old crab was shocked.
"Why would I burn him to death? Robert is Robert, he is himself. During the War of the Usurpers, he was trapped in Wind's Breath. Of course, he is also one of Targaryen's enemies. That will not change.
But I swore at the Great Wall that when the Long Night comes, I will not harm any of the vassals who help the Great Wall. "
Looking at the old crab's puzzled gaze, Danny sighed and said, "The humans are facing a great disaster. They are too short-sighted and narrow-minded to still play the game of power."
The old crab frowned and confirmed again, "There really are Deviant Ghosts? It is not that I do not trust your words, but this is too sudden. I am not mentally prepared at all. It is like a dream. "
"In a few days, you should receive a messenger crow from the Night Watchers. In a few months, the Night Watchers will escort a group of ghouls to the south. You can see it for yourself when you pass by Dragonstone Island. "
Then, under the Dragon Queen's signal, Barristan loudly told the story of her heroic battle with the Deviant Ghosts beyond the Great Wall. The knights were stunned.
They even suspected that the old knight had lost his honor and was telling a fantasy story in public to curry favor with the queen.
Damn it, fighting a Deviant Ghost alone in front of thousands of people, and the Deviant Ghost knelt down and admitted defeat?
How can we, who have intelligence and reason, believe you?
Everyone cursed in their hearts, but they only agreed verbally.
On the other hand, the young count had already heard the story of the Dragon Queen's battle with the Deviant Ghosts last night. Hearing it again now, he was still amazed and excited, shouting from time to time.
Finally, they climbed up the mountain path and entered the Floating Wood Castle. The knights followed their master into the hall, and the second Crab said, "Even if the Deviant Ghosts are real, you said that they cannot cross the Great Wall and will not affect the southern countries!"
"Lega, you are wrong," the first Crab retorted before the Dragon Queen could say anything, "The appearance of the Deviant Ghosts means that the Long Night is coming. Who can escape under the Long Night? "
"With the Night Watchers temporarily blocking the Deviant Ghosts, the queen can quickly take the Iron Throne and gather more strength to support the Great Wall," the second Crab argued.
"People will die in war. Her Majesty hopes to conserve more strength to deal with the Deviant Ghosts," Barristan said solemnly.
"When the queen takes Dragonstone Island, Lannister will be greatly threatened and will only focus on eliminating us. Why would she send troops to the Great Wall?" the old Crab said with a serious expression.
Then I can stand on the moral high ground and call on the nobles of the seven countries, justifying the extermination of the Lannister Clan.
Not only can no one gossip, but they will also cheer loudly, nailing the lion to the pillar of shame in history.
A glint flashed across Dani's eyes as she thought coldly.
No matter what, she inherited this body and shouldered the Targaryen family's debt of gratitude and hatred.
Who should she look for to avenge the extermination of the Targaryen family?
Robert?
It was a fact that his wife was stolen.
Not only did Lega steal his wife, but he also wanted to eliminate his son. The Mad King first killed Eide's father and brother, then he wanted to kill Robert, who was an adopted son in Arrin Valley. Only then did Jon Arrin raise the flag of rebellion.
Robert was truly forced into a corner. If he didn't rebel, he would die.
That was why Danny didn't kill Stannis with a mouthful of dragonfire.
Eide?
Stark was even worse. (Actually, Stark only had himself to blame. This was something Danny didn't know.)
Jon Arrin and Horst Tully (Catelyn's father)?
They weren't even the masterminds. There was no need to exterminate them.
There was only one family that had to be cleansed with blood.
Lannister!
Tywin was too vicious.
Mad King Eris only made him lose face, and then he played 'Kastme's Rain' on the Mad King. Everyone in the family was wiped out.
Lannister wasn't the only one who knew how to repay a debt.
Danny could forgive Bella and Theon, but she wouldn't pity Lannister if they really dared to seek death.
"Report!"
At this moment, a messenger guard ran into the hall and said to the Dragon Queen and the young count, "Your Majesty, Count, a group of knights holding the True Dragon flag has arrived at the docks."
Danny was stunned for a moment before she asked, "Is it Count Bronn of Stokworth Castle?"
