Should he head north to Winterfell?
Aegon was worried at first, but two days later, his wife suddenly announced the good news: Darling, I am pregnant, you are going to be a father!
Sansa held his hand and placed it on her soft belly.
Looking at his wife's gentle, loving, and hopeful eyes under the light, Aegon decided to be a good man.
When Danny Rize was pregnant and the old woman predicted that she would give birth to a horse that would ride the world, the Horse King decided to be a good man: he would avenge his wife and help her reclaim her home.
After Sansa became pregnant, Aegon also decided to be a good man: he would avenge his wife and help her reclaim her lost home.
The day after announcing the queen's pregnancy, Aegon ordered Earl Maige of Bear Island, Earl Gilbert of Deepwood Castle, Earl Great Jon of Hearthfire, and Sir Anda Royce of Valley (the eldest son of Bronze Jon) to lead two thousand cavalry out of River Delta City.
Because the people of Swamp provided them with supplies, they could travel quickly through the Neck Swamp. In just half a month, they had traveled 800 kilometers (ps) and reached the Gulf of Carlin.
What would it be like for a normal person to attack the Gulf of Carlin?
Take the Luding Bridge as a reference.
The Neck Swamp was once an ordinary piece of land with forests and plains.
Ten thousand years ago, in the war between the Children of the Forest and the Ancestors, several Green Prophet joined forces and cast a forbidden spell, causing a tsunami to reach hundreds of kilometers into the land, turning thousands of miles into a swamp.
It was a map bomb.
Perhaps the forbidden spell changed the rules, but even after the flood receded, the forests and plains did not return. Instead, they became swamps of death that devoured life.
The King's Road that ran through the Neck Swamp was like a bridge that connected the two sides.
If a person or horse left the bridge and fell into the swamp, if they were unlucky, they would sink into the mud.
If there were no companions to save them, they would leave behind a trail of dirty bubbles and disappear from the world.
Therefore, crossing the Gulf of Carlin was equivalent to crossing the 400 kilometer long Luding Bridge.
It was hard to say whether the Gulf of Carlin or the Luding Bridge was more dangerous.
Lu Dingqiao only needed to defend against attacks from the other side, but the enemy used automatic weapons. The output of machine guns and mortars would definitely be stronger than crossbows and swords.
However, there were several towers built in the swamp at Carlin Bay. Apart from the "one man holding the pass" at the front, there would be a rain of arrows and ballista fire from the left, right, and even behind them.
Bolton had arranged for two hundred men to guard Carlin Bay. In theory, they should be able to defend against the combined attacks of all the vassals south of the Neck Swamp.
However, in the face of aerial bombardment in a three-dimensional war, the natural barriers in a two-dimensional war were nothing.
This was a true dimensional reduction attack.
They did not even need the help of the Swamp people. With just Tyrion riding on Tessa's back and throwing kerosene bombs, it only took them five minutes to clear the Third Perilous Pass of the Seven Kingdoms, which had once stopped the Andals for decades and Lothbolton for two years.
Continuing north, Aegon's cavalry and Jon's barbarians met up at the Barren Grave of the Ancestors.
It seemed that the heavens were also on Stark's side. Today, winter had arrived, but there had been several months of sunny days.
At the foot of Winterfell, the Dragon Wolf Alliance met Erlu, who was leading a group of defeated soldiers.
Uh, Erlu had a tenacious heart, a steel-like will, and a brain like iron. Even when he was attacked by Danny (the matter of the Child of the Prophecy), he did not give up on his goal.
However, after enduring for more than a month, he finally crossed the sea of snow that reached his thighs. However, before he could reach the base of Winterfell's city wall, he was attacked by the little Skin Flayer.
That's right, the little Skin Flayer took the initiative to attack. He did not wait for Erlu to set up a siege formation.
The Skin Flayer's army was even larger, and he was still waiting for an exhausted enemy.
If he still hid behind the city wall despite having the advantage, he would be looked down upon by the northern nobles who sided with the Bolton Family.
As expected, Erlu, who did not cheat, was defeated again.
Yes, looking at Erlu's battle records over the past few years, with Aunt May by his side, he would definitely win. If he was alone, he would definitely lose.
After going through countless hardships and losing a quarter of the Southern Knights, they finally walked out of the Wolfswood. Then, they were chased away like ducks. How tragic!
Erlu fled back to the Wolf Forest with the remaining soldiers. After counting the number of people, he sadly found that there were only 500 Red Heart Knights of Blazing Flame left from the south to the north, and only half of the 3000 clansmen from the north were left.
During the chaotic battle, Jon entered Whitty's body and attacked the little Skin Flayer. He bit off his calf and dispersed the cavalry that was chasing after Erlu. If not for that, Erlu would have been killed just like in "Traveling Power".
To be honest, when Tyrion saw Erlu at the foot of Winterfell, he had the urge to kill him immediately.
Erlu was in a worse state than when he had just been defeated. He only had 1,000 emaciated and defeated soldiers with him.
Hmm, Erlu defeated Winterfell and the Dragon Wolf Alliance approached Winterfell for more than a month.
They lacked food and clothing, lost the battle, and couldn't see any hope. Half of them froze to death and starved to death.
Only 300 of the Southern Knights were left. They had lost their warhorses and were so hungry that they were all skin and bones. Their eyes were green, and they couldn't even lift their swords.
"What a pity, what a pity!"
After landing at the foot of Winterfell, Tyrion looked at the red-robed Priestess standing beside Jon at the front of the army. Then, he looked at the 3,000 mercenaries on the left of the army who were holding the stag flag. He regretted it. Before Aegon got married, he should have ridden the Dragon to the Northern Territory and secretly killed Erlu with kerosene bombs. But now …
Who would have thought that such a weak person would have a chance to turn the tables?
Jon didn't come alone. He brought along Erlu's wife, daughter, Aunt May, and the King's Hand.
Erlu's wife and Aunt May only had 100 Southern Knights with them. They weren't a threat. Onion Knight Davos brought 3,000 Braavos mercenaries to save Erlu's life.
They were all cavalrymen!
Jon set off from Eastsea View and took a ship to Widow's Point, which was about 1,800 kilometers away. Braavos was only 900 kilometers away from Widow's Point.
Erlu had planned to recruit at least 20,000 mercenaries, but time was tight. Jon's 6,000 troops couldn't afford to waste time in Widow's Point.
Erlu's target was the Iron Throne. The tens of thousands of mercenaries weren't prepared for Winterfell.
"I didn't expect to meet you again under such circumstances." The Gnome sighed.
Jon and Erlu gave Tyrion different responses to the same sentence.
Jon gave the Gnome a big hug and said sincerely, "I'm so happy to meet you here."
When he saw the huge Pterosaur soaring in the sky, he exclaimed, "Congratulations, you've finally realized your dream of becoming a Dragon Knight."
"I didn't expect you to remember."
The Gnome hugged his younger brother, who had become more weathered than him. He was very touched.
"Crack, crack …" Erlu puffed up his cheeks, which were so thin that only a thin layer of skin was left. He ground his teeth and swore to himself, "Sooner or later, I'll punish and burn this Gnome who committed the crime of kinslaying and treason to death."
"I know the king you're loyal to — Aegon Targaryen, Aegon the Sixth." He stared at the Gnome, his masseter muscles bulging. "Like Joffrey and Tommen, he's a bastard that Varys found to confuse the Targaryen bloodline.
I don't know why the shrewd Danny Rize was deceived, but I won't admit that he's the son of Rhaegar and Ilya. "
"No one cares about your attitude," Tyrion said in annoyance.
A sharp glint flashed in Erlu's sunken eyes. He said coldly, "There are few people with purple eyes and silver hair in Westeros, but there are many of them on the other side of the narrow sea.
Crown Prince Aegon might not even be a Westeros.
If his identity is unclear, how can he become the king of the Seven Kingdoms?
Now that even your nephew Tommen is dead, I'm the only successor left in the Beira Theon Dynasty. According to the laws of the Seven Kingdoms, all the nobles and citizens of the Seven Kingdoms, including you, should submit to the true king. "
"Actually, I have a question for you." Tyrion tilted his head and looked at Erlu strangely. "Don't you have any self-awareness? Don't you know that you're hated by everyone? "
Erlu pursed his thin lips and said, "The law is the law, it has nothing to do with personal likes and dislikes.
It's also because the law is impartial that the country can operate in an orderly manner under the rules of the law.
The current chaos in the Seven Kingdoms is due to the trampling of the law.
If the Seven Kingdoms want peace to be restored and the people to live and work in peace, we should uphold the law and rebuild the dignity and sanctity of the law. "
"You're not wrong. If the king and the nobles followed the law, the Seven Kingdoms would definitely be at peace now."
The dwarf nodded with a complicated expression, then shook his head and sighed. "Unfortunately, we've always lacked a powerful … law enforcement organization that can judge the king's actions without affecting the king's authority.
For example, you.
I believe that you can strictly abide by the law and give absolute justice to anyone.
Only to yourself. Do you dare to swear in front of the Seven Gods that you've never done anything against the law? "
"I have a clear conscience," Erlu said, lifting his chin.
The dwarf shook his head. "You can't. There are many kings in this world who can be impartial and treat others strictly, but there's only one who is strict to benefit oneself. Unfortunately, she's not you."
"Her?" A woman's figure appeared in Erlu's mind unconsciously.
It seemed like she was laughing, mocking him?
Thinking of this, his pupils constricted and he clenched his teeth.
"Since ancient times, in the ten thousand years of human history, the number of kings is as many as the sand in the Ganges River. Only the Dragon Queen, using the reason of violating the Law, ordered the judge to execute the punishment of whipping herself in front of the entire city.
You must know that she was the one who wrote the Law! "the dwarf said in admiration.
Of course, he suspected that the Dragon Queen was putting on an act, but she was the only king who was willing to pay such a high price to put on an act.
This was a matter of attitude. In front of the Law, the king would also be judged and punished.
Many years had passed, and the Dragon Queen had become a well-known figure. Some of her deeds had also spread out of Slave Bay and were known by the people of the world.
Among them was the story of the Dragon Queen "whipping herself and correcting the Law".
Therefore, after hearing the dwarf's words, Erlu was silent, Jon was deep in thought, and the surrounding nobles and knights were also shocked.
After a moment of silence, the thin knight with an "onion" imprinted on his chest took a step forward and said loudly, "As everyone knows, His Majesty Stannis is a man of integrity to the point of rigidity. He would not purposely make a mistake and then whip himself to flaunt his integrity."
"Onion …" The dwarf glanced at the skinny brown-haired knight's chest, and then looked at his left hand, which was wearing a thick leather glove.
"The Onion Knight Davos?"
"The Hand of the King, Davos!" The Onion Knight emphasized.
Then, he asked with a smile, "Knight, I wonder what your identity is now?"
A glint flashed across the dwarf's eyes, and he asked back, "What do you think?"
"I heard that you once swore allegiance to the Dragon Queen, and now you are Aegon the Sixth's … advisor?
The Dragon Queen swore that she would not start a war between the seven kingdoms, but you helped her nephew come to the Westeros to fight for the Iron Throne … "
Davos chuckled, looking like an honest and considerate person.
Either you went back on your oath, or your actions went against your oath.
What right does a person who went back on her oath have to judge the great King Stannis?
If you did not go back on your oath, then your actions now represent the will of the Dragon Queen, and the person who went back on her oath would be her.
She used her nephew as her chess piece.
The Dragon Queen who went back on her oath naturally has no right to be compared to my great King Stannis.
The dwarf actually saw through the evil intentions under the onion's skin.
"This matter, it is easy for others to understand, but unfortunately, the great King Stannis does not." The imp shook his head and sighed.
