"Your Highness, the striped dragons have the highest cost-performance ratio. They eat half as much as the shadow dragons of the same size, but their wide wings can double their weight ratio.
The three types of pterosaurs have their own advantages and disadvantages. The queen plans to eliminate the small and medium sized swamp dragons and keep the shadow dragons. The mainstream dragon knights use striped dragons. "
"I don't lack that bit of food." Sansa's brows were still furrowed.
What was the meaning of talking about cost-performance ratio with the queen?
Er, would the regular customers of the luxury shops care about cost-performance ratio?
No matter how cold the Northern Territory was, no matter how many people starved to death, Stark would not lack food to feed the dragons.
Old Crab immediately said, "You are the queen, so you don't need to fight the dragon knights in close combat. The shadow dragons have sharp teeth, and the swamp dragons are too cumbersome.
The striped dragons with green and white stripes have a beautiful body and beautiful scales. Their speed and reaction are faster than the swamp dragons, and their weight ratio is higher than the shadow dragons. They are the nobles of the pterosaurs. "
Queen Sansa finally showed a smile.
Although she had complained, she actually felt that the green and white striped dragons with wide wings were more beautiful.
But soon, the smile on her face disappeared like a snowflake falling into a spring lake. She then pleaded to Old Crab, "Count Setiga, you are Aunt Danny's right-hand man. You are experienced and wise. Can you accompany me to Winterfell and rescue Aegon from Stannis?"
What could help her was not his wisdom and steadiness, but his status and the meaning of his participation — the Dragon Queen was officially involved.
"This …" Old Crab understood, so he hesitated. He turned to Blackie and asked, "Is the defense of Dragonstone Island important?"
If Dragonstone Island was in danger, he would not be able to go to the Northern Territory.
Blackie was naive and was not sensitive to politics. She did not understand Old Crab's hidden meaning. She nodded and said, "It's not a big problem.
"It's not a big problem. I killed a Dragon Knight yesterday afternoon. This is the Westeros, and there are no backup knights. One dead knight is one less knight. "
No matter how tight the defense of Dragonstone Island is, do you want the "right-hand man of the Dragon Queen" to ride a dragon and fight them?
Old Crab glared at Blackie and agreed to Sansa's request.
Sansa was really pregnant. Running back and forth for thousands of miles made her very tired. They could only rest in the Moon Gate Castle for one day and two nights.
During this period, he also tried his best to pacify the vassals in the valley, barely convincing them to calm down and wait for Aegon to escape.
"We will be exiled, but can the exiled prince not return to the kingdom for the rest of his life? Will Aunt Danny allow it? "
She even directly "hinted" to the nobles of the valley.
On the way back, she even stopped at Ruanhe City midway, and told her Second Grandpa about Aegon falling into the enemy's hands, as well as everything that happened in the last few days.
Yes, Frey took over the Tully family's Rapids City. "Black Fish" Blinden Tully represented his granddaughter to take over the Frey family's River Rapids City.
It was hard to say who would gain and who would lose.
Because River Rapids City was too rich, and it was located at an important transportation route — River Rapids City was a twin city that spanned across both sides of the Green Fork River. There was a stone bridge in the middle that connected to the tower, and it was the only bridge across the Green Fork River.
"Sigh, I really regret it." Sansa showed regret for the first time in front of her grandfather. "I should have listened to Tyrion and taken down River Rapids City, then focused on attacking the King's Landing. I should not have clashed with Stannis who had the help of a demigod."
"Even the barbaric and foolish centaurs knew to avoid witches and not interact with witches. Now that I think about it, I was really too arrogant. "
The queen wiped her tears and sobbed.
"It's not your fault. Who would have thought that there would be such terrifying witchcraft in the world? Resurrection, an illusion that fooled thousands of people, sacrifice and evil gods, it's simply …"
Blinden smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying the same words as Tyrion and Little Finger that day.
"Now, it seems that the 'True World' of the City of Knowledge is really the friendliest to normal people."
Sansa shook her head. "If there were no deviant ghosts, that would be the case. Unfortunately, without magic, even the Great Wall could not be built. Humans would definitely go extinct in the Long Night. "
"Are you sure there is a Long Night?" Blinden frowned.
"The Dragon Queen, Jon, the barbarians from the Great Wall, and even the red-robed woman said so. I have no choice but to believe it."
"Seven Gods above, we have no food reserves in Hejian …" Blackfish's face was pale as he turned into a white fish.
"Let's take care of our family first. If something happens to Aegon, there is no difference to me whether there is a Long Night or not." Sansa said sorrowfully.
Blackfish patted his granddaughter's head lovingly and comforted her, "Although there was an accident this time, at least he is still alive.
No matter how crazy Stannis is, as long as he still wants to ascend the Iron Throne, he will not kill the nobles after getting the 'ransom'.
As for Hejian …
Don't worry, I will firmly control River Rapids City and continue to rope in the nobles of Hejian in the name of the Tully family.
Other than Aegon, I will not be loyal to anyone.
Although Hejian is in ruins, it will always be your and your wife's support. "
"Mm, I have brought Count Sydega over. Aegon should be free soon." Sansa had gotten what she wanted and smiled happily.
On the afternoon of the third day, Sansa, Old Crab, and Illyrio returned to Winterfell.
When she glanced down, she was shocked to find that Erlu's West Castle was empty.
The two Winged Dragons landed on the muddy drill ground. After introducing themselves, they followed Jon into the main castle.
The living room was spacious and tall, with bare gray stone walls on all sides. Due to the heat from the hot springs, it was as warm as spring even without a fireplace.
After the servant girl served hot milk and red wine to the guests, Jon explained, "Stannis said that Winterfell has been recovered and Stark has regained control of the Northern Territory. He has fulfilled his promise to me.
Now it is my turn to fulfill my obligation to him — to help him ascend the Iron Throne.
So, before you left with Sir Davos, he ordered his subordinates to pack his luggage. He has been gone for three days. "
Sansa was surprised. She held the porcelain cup of milk and thought for a while. She felt that Erlu's actions were reasonable.
Stannis's goal was the Iron Throne. That had never changed.
But obviously, sitting in Winterfell and enjoying the scenery of the Northern Territory would never allow him to ascend the Iron Throne. Unless Cersei was like Aegon and foolishly came to the Northern Territory to mess with him.
Jon asked curiously, "Stannis's army of thousands traveled along the King's Lane. It was very obvious in the white snow. Why didn't you see them?"
"We didn't travel along the King's Lane."
Sansa then briefly told him about the appearance of the Alliance's pterosaur squad and the destruction of the southern army.
"To avoid being ambushed, we traveled at night during the day and tried our best to avoid the main roads."
"I see …" Jon frowned as he thought about the recent events. He felt that it was too much of a coincidence.
"Where is Stannis right now? Where is Aegon? "Sansa asked.
Seeing the dark circles under his sister's eyes, Jon's gray eyes suddenly brightened. In the closed Northern Territory, the flow of information should be extremely slow.
He was the Lord of Winterfell. If he wanted to know about the Dragon-Lion Battle that happened five days ago by the Blackwater River, he had to rely on his sister's tireless travel. How could Stannis, an outsider, know about the Northern Territory so accurately and quickly?
He had this question during the negotiation that day, but he didn't have the chance to ask.
"She-Bear" Alysanne Mormont was the Earl of Bear Island, but she had never heard of the Dragon Queen.
The nobles of the Northern Territory didn't even know about the famous "Martial Scholar of the Honey Wine River"?!
In White Harbor, where information was the best, when the local Northerners heard the Dragon Queen's poem for the first time, they were still puzzled. Wasn't the Mad King's daughter thrown against the wall by Tywin and smashed into a pile of minced meat?
Similarly, until now, there were still many Southern nobles who didn't know that Erlu had gone to the Great Wall and even traveled thousands of miles to suppress the Boltons.
This was the normal flow of information between the Northern Territory and the Southern Territory.
However, during the negotiation that day, not only did Stannis know everything that happened outside the Northern Territory, he even knew about the current situation in the Royal Territory.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have directly proposed the condition to ransom Aegon: the command of the two armies by the Blackwater River and near the King's Landing …
"Jon, Jon …" Sansa waved her hand in front of Jon and asked curiously, "What are you thinking about? Where is Stannis? Is Aegon still in Winterfell? "
"Sorry, I was distracted!" Jon smiled awkwardly and quickly said, "It's about 50 kilometers away from Winterfell, just half a day's ride. Aegon went with them to White Harbor.
But don't worry, Count Gabe and Great Jon will each lead a thousand cavalrymen and move with Stannis.
After all, I swore to support him in his fight for the Iron Throne. "
Speaking of this, Jon's eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness. If Erlu worked hard and risked his life to help Stark fight against Skinner without asking for anything in return, how great would that be!
Sansa forced herself to relax, but the fat spice merchant beside her was anxious.
"His Majesty Aegon's legs are still injured, how can he march with the army? Let's hurry and bring him back! "
Sansa didn't want to bring him along because she didn't think the fat man could help. However, the fat man kept begging, his ten fingers that were adorned with various gemstones kept wiping away tears. He was even sadder than her, the queen.
"Should we go to Crab Claw Peninsula and invite Monk Meribad to help us? Although the Sacred Healing Spell isn't omnipotent, it has miraculous effects on physical injuries, "the old crab suggested.
Sansa shook her head and said with slight dissatisfaction, "On the way to Moon Gate Castle, I specially descended to Terror Cave Castle to look for him. He said he could send Aegon there, but he wouldn't leave Crab Claw Peninsula for long. The tens of thousands of citizens of Trident River can't do without him."
The king was gone, what use was there for the citizens?
They didn't waste any time. After a cup of warm milk, they rode on the dragon and flew south along the King's Lane. Within half an hour, they landed among Erlu's cavalrymen.
Erlu had returned the northern nobles and clansmen to Jon after conquering Winterfell, leaving him with only three hundred Blazing Knights and two thousand mercenaries.
Erm, when Aegon's Black Reaper rampage, more than three hundred mercenaries were killed, including forty Blazing Knights who bravely slayed dragons. Two small mercenary groups were frightened and ran away.
After Erlu left Winterfell, he arranged for seven or eight Blazing Knights to lead a hundred mercenaries to guard the dying Black Reaper in Winterfall.
After hearing the news of the battle at Blackwater River, Erlu's face darkened. He bit his cheeks and ground his teeth for a while before saying slowly, "When I receive Davos' reply, I'll give Aegon limited freedom. He'll be allowed to walk freely in the camp and receive guests."
Before Sansa and the others could react, Illyrio's blue beard trembled as he shouted angrily, "We've already paid the 'ransom'. Why don't you let him go immediately?"
"Who are you?" Erlu's eyes were sharp and suspicious.
