Erlu was unhappy with Tyrion and Tessa's departure.
Though the Onion Knight's words sounded unreasonable, he was right about one thing. If he couldn't reach King's Landing quickly, Sansa's promise of command of the True Dragon Alliance wouldn't be of much value to him.
Tyrion's battle plan for Aegon was to have a Pterosaur.
That morning, Aegon was at Storm's Rest Fortress. At noon, he would reach Blackwater River and fly north. He could spend the night at Moon Gate Castle.
Aegon didn't follow the main army to attack from the north and south. He had time to conquer River Delta City and go to Winterfell, but it didn't affect the healthy operations of the frontline command.
After receiving Big Crab's warning to not let the army harass the nobles' castles, Aegon and Tyrion would secretly set off from Moon Gate Castle in the middle of the night. They would drop four to five tons of cheese, flour, and dried meat to make up for the lack of rations.
Bellerion and Tessa were the largest Pterosaurs in the entire Slave Bay battlefield. They could carry more than two tons.
If there were seven or eight of these Pterosaurs, they would make two trips a day to drop supplies. The 45,000 soldiers of the True Dragon Alliance wouldn't need to go to the countryside to rob the civilians of their rations.
As the Pterosaurs were responsible for opening the castle gates, the True Dragon Alliance didn't bring any craftsmen or siege weapons.
Hence, Erlu wanted to plunder Aegon, so he had to plunder the Pterosaurs as well.
Otherwise, both he and Aegon would be severely injured and forced to retreat. Only Cersei at King's Landing would benefit.
"Do you intend to murder Tyrion in order to plunder his Pterosaur?"
Jon's expression became uglier, and his attitude became more irritable as Erlu questioned him.
Erlu gritted his teeth and said, "I won't murder anyone, but his organs are burnt and he's dead. Nobody can save him.
Let him die in Winterfell and use his Pterosaur to redeem Aegon's Dragon. It's good for everyone. "
"Who says he's dead? I was still chatting with him earlier! "Jon said unhappily.
"That's what I said." Aunt May's clothes fluttered like a red butterfly. "Danny Alice may be able to save him, but the price is too high and it will take too long. She may not be willing."
Erlu pursed his thin lips and glared at Jon. "Tyrion's relationship with her was thin to begin with, and they even had a family feud.
And his action of bringing Aegon out of Slave Bay was a betrayal. If it were me, I would definitely ignore him. "
Sansa smiled coldly and pointed at Gordy Farlin beside Erlu. "If I had my eye on his sword, he would have a chance to live even though he's heavily injured.
Will you fulfill my wish and not treat him but let him die, and then say, 'He's going to die anyway, so it's better for everyone?' "
"Tyrion's wealth is a crime, but my sword is worthless …" the giant killer mumbled.
Erlu stared at Sansa, his nostrils flaring. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "If that's the case, I can't give up Aegon's Pterosaur."
"I won't give Theon to you!" Jon said irritably, "Count Meiji went to Slave Bay to find the Dragon Queen to exchange for the Pterosaur. Can't you wait for a few days?"
Davos looked embarrassed and suggested, "Queen Sansa is also a Dragon Knight, why don't —"
"You want my Lady?!" Sansa's blue eyes widened as she said in disbelief.
"No, no, no." Davos blushed and waved his hand. "How would I dare to make such a rude request?
I want to ask … can you use your Lady to send me to the frontlines and wait for Count Meiji to bring the Pterosaur back from Slave Bay? "
"Asking me to be the coachman, isn't this a rude request?"
Sansa's eyes were spitting fire. She really wanted to call her Lady over and bite this old man to death.
Davos looked down to avoid the queen's death stare and said, "I'll sit in the front as the coachman, and you'll sit in the back to control the Pterosaur?"
Sansa's face contorted.
Davos persuaded with a sincere expression, "If we can take down King's Landing as soon as possible, we can go to the Great Cathedral of Baylor and ask the Great Sparrow to heal His Majesty Aegon's injuries!"
This sentence did not move Sansa, but it reminded her that her husband was still in their hands!
"I'll only send you to Twilight Valley, and then you can ride on your horse to find General Royce and the others." Sansa's lips curled into a helpless smile. "If I sell them to you, how can I face the generals again?"
"You want me to personally persuade the generals to surrender to you? No way! "
Davos did have such a plan, but the queen was so pitiful that he could not force it.
"Thank you!" Davos bowed sincerely and then made a promise. "Your Majesty, you have paid His Majesty Aegon's ransom."
After that, he looked at his monarch with hopeful eyes.
Erlu frowned and thought for a while. The Valley Army was near Rosby City, 30 kilometers away from King's Landing. It was only half a day's ride from Twilight Valley.
He nodded and acknowledged the Onion Knight's promise.
"As long as Davos can reach the frontline and see General Royce and the other generals, and then Meiji can bring the Pterosaur back, I will agree to let Jon participate in supervising Aegon, just like Theon now.
When we take down King's Landing, or when I fail at King's Landing, Aegon will be completely free.
Of course, he will have to go into self-exile, to Slaver's Bay, to the Free Cities, anywhere, but he must leave the Westeros. Only his descendants can come back and inherit Harrenburg. "
"Let the Other Ghosts live in Harrenburg. We will go to Slaver's Bay to find Aunt Danny. Just you wait!"
Sansa made a decision in her heart and began to summon her striped Pterosaur, the Second Generation Lady.
Before going to Twilight Valley, Erlu dictated, Sansa wrote, and Aegon reluctantly signed and stamped. They wrote three copies of the 'surrender letter': King Aegon was captured and has now surrendered to Theon Stannis Barra.
All the vassals of the Seven Kingdoms who had pledged loyalty to Aegon Targaryen should submit to Theon Stannis Barra.
Stannis' prime minister, Onion Knight Davos, will represent his master and receive vassals who are willing to pledge their loyalty to the frontlines.
Those who are unwilling can leave with their vassals, but please ensure Sir Davos' safety. Do not make an enemy out of Stannis Barra Theon.
.....
Erlu was very realistic. He did not expect to take down Aegon, so all the power of the True Dragon Alliance was under his control.
That was impossible.
He was not crazy. He would not have such immature delusions.
However, Erlu also felt that he was the only legitimate successor to Theon Barra's dynasty. After all, Tommen was dead and Cersei was married again.
If the vassals of the Seven Kingdoms had a little conscience, a little respect for the law, and a little traditional chivalry, they would support Stannis to ascend the Iron Throne.
This idea sounded arrogant, but it was very much in line with the traditions of the Westeros.
If Danny gathered the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms to participate in the Great Council, Erlu could announce his right to inherit the Iron Throne. In theory, there would be no need to fight or capture Aegon. He could be elected as the legitimate king by all the nobles.
Similar Great Council had been held many times during the Targaryen Dynasty.
For example, Danny's great-grandfather, Eggy (Aegon the Fifth), competed with Old Yimont and Eris Black Fire for the throne.
Eggy became the legitimate king through election.
According to the traditions of the Targaryen Dynasty's Great Council, Erlu would definitely become the king because he had no competitors.
He was Theon Barra's only remaining heir (illegitimate children did not have the right to inherit the throne).
Therefore, Erlu's action of capturing Aegon might seem ridiculous, but it actually had a very high theoretical basis.
There was only one question. Did the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms have a conscience, respect for the law, and a glorious chivalry like they did in the past?
Erlu felt that his King's Hand could awaken the remaining conscience and sense of honor in those bastards.
If not, this world would really be hopeless.
.....
Dragonstone Island, the Wyvern Tower where the Megalosaurus and pterosaurs landed.
As soon as the green-and-white striped dragon landed, Dr. Marwin went over and said anxiously, "Seven Gods above, Queen Sansa, why are you here? Didn't you receive the messenger crow? “
Sansa was wearing a white lion fur coat as pure as snow. She took off her windshield, revealing her red face. Her rose-petal-like lips opened slightly as she exhaled a few breaths of white air. She was puzzled. "I just came from Winterfell. What's wrong with Dragonstone Island's Mana network? I can't sense it anymore. "
Britney was wearing white-glazed armor as she helped the queen down from the dragon's back.
Without waiting for the two of them to stabilize themselves, Marwin grabbed Sansa's arm and rushed towards the entrance of the tower. His footsteps were hurried, and he looked around from time to time as if he was on guard against something.
Seeing this, Sansa knew that the situation had changed. She did not ask further and only quickened her pace.
After entering the black tower, Marwin let out a long sigh of relief. He let go of his right hand and bowed apologetically to Sansa. He explained, "The Alliance has indeed sent a team of pterosaurs to the Westeros. They even threw a few kerosene bombs at Dragonstone Island."
"What?" Sansa was shocked and asked anxiously, "Is the situation in Meereen so disadvantageous for Aunt Danny? The Alliance can send a team of pterosaurs to the Westeros. "
"No, the queen is confident of winning this great war. The situation is actually more advantageous for us." Marwin shook his head.
"If that's the case, why would they dare to split up?" Sansa did not understand.
"Although we have the advantage, in the end, the battle of Meereen is a siege. We are surrounded by the Alliance, and the attacking side secretly sent out a team of pterosaurs. Meereen will not notice it."
Sansa was even more confused.
After entering the hall below, she took off the white lion skin cloak and handed it to the maid. Under Marwin's signal, she found a soft couch by the fireplace and sat down. She asked again, "The pterosaurs have come to the Westeros. After we know, won't Meereen know?
No matter if they send their superior forces to surround them or take advantage of the enemy's weak air force to fight a decisive battle, the Alliance will lose more than they gain. "
"Only five pterosaurs came, so it won't affect the situation much. Also, the core of the magic net was attacked by Bellerion and is paralyzed. Now, we can only extract the magic power from the earth's core, but we can't communicate with the outside world.
We can't even send messages through glass candles. I really don't know how Bellerion did it.
However, it's obvious that the Alliance planned this long ago. We just don't know what their goal is, "Marwin said helplessly.
"Bellerion attacked …" Sansa exclaimed in disbelief. Suddenly, she realized that Bellerion seemed to be a common name. At least, it was not only Aegon's pterosaurs called Bellerion.
"Bellerion, the Demigod of Valleglia?" She asked tentatively.
"Yes, we learned the technique of building the core of the magic net from Valleglia. I didn't expect the people of Valleglia to know how to counter the core of the magic net, "Marwin said with a complicated expression.
"I just contacted Slave Bay two days ago," Sansa muttered.
"The magic net collapsed yesterday morning."
