Yesterday, when Marvin and Aegon came to report to her about the changes in the Shield Islands, Marvin did not know anything and relied on Aegon, who had been informed by Varys, to explain the situation.
In just one day, it was as if he had personally visited You Lun's military camp and revealed many secrets that even Old Rose did not know.
"Scholar Kelvin told me." Marvin was stunned and said, "He was originally a scholar of the Chester family on Green Shield Island. After Earl Chester was killed by Iron Seed, Scholar Kelvin began to serve You Lun. "
Danny glanced at Scholar Pylos and did not know what to say.
Dragonstone Island had changed three masters in a short period of time, and only Scholar Pylos remained in the Crow's Nest Tower.
It was the same for Kelvin. The island's master had changed, but he still managed the Crow's Nest and even openly told You Lun's secrets to other scholars.
Even someone as crazy as You Lun did not kill the scholars. Why?
Because he could not leave the scholars.
You Lun must have wanted to hide his secret, but his secret was easily exposed by his own scholar.
How ironic.
The scholars knew medicine, were literate, could manage castles, calculate taxes, tame crows, take care of the Crow's Nest, and send and receive letters …
Even Iron Seed, who pursued the ancient path of burning, killing, and plundering, had become dependent on the scholars.
Just like how humans could not live without wheat and rice, modern people could not live without mobile phones and computers, Westeros nobles could not live without the scholars.
The scholars' huge hidden forces and intelligence network would not disappear because of the City of Knowledge's destruction. They had become part of the Westeros continent.
If Westeros were compared to a human, the scholars would be the nervous system in the human body.
"Let Madam Olena find Aegon. I don't need her loyalty. Gao Ting's power is meaningless to me, but it will be of great help to Aegon.
Aegon has a pterosaur. A few hundred pounds of wildfire will burn that octopus to death. "
Danny still refused to help Gao Ting.
In fact, there was no need for her to remind her. Old Rose had already sent a letter to Storm's End Castle.
In other words, other than Danny on Dragonstone Island, Aegon on Wind's End Castle, Randall Tarly on King's Landing, and Littlefinger on Ayrin Valley had all received Old Rose's request for help.
Asking Danny, Aegon, and Blue Dominion for help was understandable. Danny and Aegon had dragons, and Blue Dominion himself was at King's Landing. He had the opportunity to lead the Horn Hill soldiers to take down Cersei.
However, Old Rose's request for help from Uncle Finger was very interesting.
The old lady had planted a spy around Uncle Finger. She immediately learned about the secret engagement between Sansa and Aegon. After the Riverbend Incident, Aegon publicly announced his ambition and the True Dragon Alliance.
Old Rose threatened Uncle Fingers, saying that if he did not persuade Aegon to save Highting, she would report him to the world for murdering Joffrey.
Er, do you still remember Emperor Joffrey's "Purple Wedding"?
Old Rose did not like Emperor Joffrey, who loved his people as if they were his own children.
Firstly, Joffrey was the second generation of the Mad King. Madmen were hard to control, at least not as easy as Tommen.
Secondly, Old Rose was Little Rose's grandmother. For the sake of her granddaughter's happiness, she did not want her to marry the second generation of the Mad King. Old Rose had also worked hard for her own happiness.
Little Finger, on the other hand, needed more chaos, so the two of them co-directed a purple wedding and drugged Emperor Qiao, who "Dani wanted him to live for another five hundred years".
Now, Old Rose wanted to use this to threaten Uncle Finger, forcing him to persuade Aegon to save Highting.
When it came to Dragon Queen, Old Rose did not have a choice. Her main target was still Aegon. The news from Slave Bay had not arrived yet, so the old woman did not have a clear understanding of the difference between a pterosaur and a Megalosaurus. She only thought that Aegon's dragon was called "Black Death Bellerion" and that it was as fierce as Bellerion.
Then, how could she threaten Uncle Finger with this?
Uncle Finger had already sided with Aegon. Cersei hated him. Killing Joffrey would only make her hate him more.
Old Rose's target was not Cersei, but Tyrion!!
Old Rose did not know that Tyrion already knew that they had set him up.
But Uncle Finger suspected that Tyrion already knew that he had set him up.
Uncle Finger had not met Tyrion, but he had communicated with Aegon many times. From Aegon's attitude, tone, and the information that he had unintentionally revealed, Uncle Finger guessed that he had exposed a lot of secrets.
So, when Old Rose threatened Uncle Finger, he did not care at all.
But Aegon and Tyrion were not stupid. After receiving Old Rose's request for help, without Uncle Finger's persuasion, they began to seriously discuss whether they should take the risk.
Just as Dani had said, Gao Ting's loyalty was useless to her, but to Aegon, it was the last straw that broke the camel's back … the Jingu Bang.
It was very important.
"The Valley faction is too strong and occupies too much of the 'True Dragon Alliance'. It is necessary to bring in Highting to maintain the balance.
More importantly, You Lun is on Cersei's side. You will face us sooner or later. "Tyrion was very rational and helped Aegon make the best choice.
Aegon was also very decisive. He immediately made the decision to save Highting.
.....
To ask where You Lun's sea monster came from, it had to start from two years ago.
At that time, he had turned into Ethan Hunter and completed an impossible mission: stealing the dragon egg and the dragon horn from the great pyramid.
Of the two dragon eggs, he kept one for himself and gave the other to the Iron Legion of New Gith.
The reason why New Gith did not steal You Lun's dragon egg and horn was because You Lun knew the route to the ruins of Valleglia.
In order to explore the ruins of Valleglia, New Gith prepared ten longships and a squadron of Iron Legion, a thousand warriors.
There were also two thousand slave sailors.
Until now, New Gith had not seen the return of the expedition team.
They would never see it again.
Other than You Lun's deaf-mute followers, the Iron Legion and the sailors were all sacrificed to the God of Storms.
You Lun's reward was a sea monster in the Smoke Sea.
The sea monster that he had just obtained was not big. It only had tentacles that were about ten meters long and a torso that was the size of a giant elephant. If it were placed in modern society, it would probably be treated as a king squid.
On the thousands of miles of sea from the Smoke Sea to the Iron Islands, You Lun kept robbing ships and sacrificing the souls and blood of the crew to the God of Storms. He fed the corpses of the crew to the sea monster. Only then did it grow bigger and bigger. Finally, it reached the twenty-meter-long tentacles that it had at the Shield Islands.
After sacrificing the Qingting Island fleet and thousands of Highting soldiers at the Shield Islands, the sea monster evolved again. Compared to before, it had a qualitative improvement.
Wildfire might not necessarily work …
When Tyrion and Aegon each carried a fifty-kilogram Wildfire Bullet and rushed to Highting, they saw the sea monster, just like a few days ago, half of its body submerged in the Mande River. A quarter of its dark red head with black spots was also above the water. Three tentacles covered in ballista wounds and burn scars were like the giant whips of the gods, lashing wildly at the stone walls.
The scene was like a naughty child kicking the wardrobe door of his mother's luxury clothes.
Under the wall facing the river, there was a gate for river boats to pass through. In front of the gate was a metal fence sunk into the river to block it.
The fence had long been twisted and deformed and was not of much use.
At first, the sea monster even extended one of its tentacles into the gate and messed with it like a pestle.
However, there was a murderous hole carved into the stone wall above the gate. The Highting guards could pour boiling hot golden liquid and ignited kerosene into the murderous hole. After the sea monster suffered a beating, it did not dare to extend its tentacles into the murderous hole.
Aegon and Tyrion descended from the sky on their dragons, causing the despairing guards in the city to cheer wildly. It also caused Tiemin outside the city to shout in shock and anger, "The Megalosaurus is here. The Mother Of Dragons has betrayed us and come to participate in the civil war of the Seven Nations …"
Uh, Aegon's sneak attack on the Wind Stop Fortress had caused quite a stir among the higher-ups of the Seven Nations. However, the ordinary people knew very little about this. At this moment, they all thought that the Dragon Queen and the Great Guardian of Light had come.
Aegon and Tyrion approached the Highting under the cover of the clouds. They did not waste any time at all as they swooped down and dealt a fatal blow to the sea monster in a way that was close to a sneak attack.
Throwing bombs at a low altitude had a very high hit rate. Two wildfire bombs landed on the sea monster's head and one of its tentacles.
“BOOM-BOOOM！”
Two balls of enchanting green flowers bloomed on the sea monster's body. A huge green flame shockwave directly blew up one of the sea monster's tentacles.
A large hole appeared on its head that was as taut and tough as cowhide. Purplish-Red blood gushed out of it.
"Hiss —" Water vapor that resembled a steam whistle came out of the sea monster's mouth. It howled and sank into the river.
Yes, wildfire could also burn when it came in contact with water, but it could not burn underwater. The sea monster would not be burned to death if its soul was not struck in one shot.
One could see that under the surface of the river that was covered in green flames, there were undercurrents surging and sand rolling. Large patches of purplish-red blood contrasted with the green flames on the surface of the river.
"Hiss hiss hiss —"
Without waiting for Tyrion and Aegon to be vexed, a desolate and resounding horn suddenly sounded from below the Highting City.
It sounded like thousands of souls were screaming. Tyrion and Aegon who heard the horn felt as if their bones were about to burn. The scorching flames roasted their flesh from the inside out. It also felt as if ten thousand ghostly claws had reached out from hell and grabbed their souls, freezing their thoughts.
Tyrion's eyes were bloodshot. Wisps of white smoke came out of his mouth as if his organs were being roasted.
Aegon was even worse. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.
If not for the belt on the dragon saddle holding his body and calves in place, he would have fallen off.
"Hiss hiss — Gah —"
The two pterosaurs were the main targets of the attack, but their performance was far more eye-catching than the knight on the dragon's back.
They only let out a crazed cry before shaking their heads and wagging their tails, fleeing into the distance.
You Lun was dumbfounded. He was confused. Why did the Dragon Binder, which could even control the Megalosaurus, only make the pterosaurs let out a cry?
Could it be …
You Lun was shocked and furious. He carefully observed the runes on the surface of the huge horn. Rings of runes lit up one after another, but a few of them were dim.
Sh * t, my horn is broken!
You Lun, who had mastered the Great Wizard Meditation Technique, suddenly had an epiphany.
You Lun was shocked. Tyrion and Aegon were also shocked.
"These days are really bad. I thought that after leaving Slaver's Bay, I could fight a normal war. Who knew that the Westeros are also a battlefield of gods and demons." The dwarf lamented.
He lamented too early.
When the long night came, he would realize that the Westeros were the real battlefield of gods and demons.
"Didn't you say that the Dragon Binder's Horn is broken?" Aegon wiped the blood from his nose and said with a pale face.
"It is indeed broken. Our pterosaurs didn't lose control."
"What do we do now? Should we go to Gaoting? There are kerosene bombs there. We can cooperate with the pterosaurs to throw them, "Aegon asked.
Both of their souls were injured and needed to rest. They had just landed in an apple orchard fifty kilometers south of Gaoting.
