Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

Cheers first sounded in front of the camp gate, and then quickly spread among the crowd, until the entire coalition camp turned into a sea of ​​carnival.

The soldiers lined up neatly outside the camp gate, with the torches in their hands illuminating the camp in the night. They shouted the names of Lorraine (the player) and Davos to welcome the two men who had captured Harrenhal. hero.

It is said that their plan for today's night attack was based on the advice of the red-robed woman next to His Majesty Stannis. The woman saw the hidden weaknesses of Harrenhal in the flames, so His Majesty Stannis asked the Kingsguard Roland and the Onion Knight to wear the sword. Foss led the assault.

After the two knights took action, they opened a gap in the impregnable Harrenhal as expected, successfully led the army into the city, ended the siege that had lasted for more than two months, and captured Harrenhal's defender Kevan. ·Ser Lannister.

This great victory made the nobles under Stannis both excited and frightened. They were excited that after capturing Harrenhal, they would gain a huge advantage in facing the rebel king Renly, but they were afraid that the woman in red robes was behind the scenes. The power displayed by that pagan god.

Although Stannis has not yet asked the nobles to convert to the embrace of R'hllor and abandon the Seven-faced God they have believed in all their lives, the recent expansion rate of the rear party and their great disrespect for the Seven Gods Judging from the extent, it is only a matter of time before Stannis changes the state religion.

(The Queen is the group of people under Stannis Baratheon who converted to the faith of R'hllor. Because Stannis's wife, Queen Selyse, was the first to convert to the Red God, these people were closely united to her side. Got its name.

At the same time, the Queen is also a loyal supporter of the red-robed priestess Melisandre. The term "Queen" also implies that the relationship between Melisandre and Stannis is closer than Lys, and the red-robed woman is the real meaning. Queen. )

"When did you come? I thought you were staying in King's Landing." After capturing Harrenhal, Lorraine did not return to the camp like Davos. Instead, he stayed in the city to direct the battlefield cleanup work and waited for Shi Tanis enters the city.

He was a little surprised by Lyanna (the player) who suddenly appeared in front of him.

"King's Landing is not safe. The Octopus Spider and Littlefinger control the city. Robert is dead. It is impossible for me to stay in King's Landing." Lyanna explained, "By the way, have you heard the news from the north?"

"Well, something happened to Malvern (player). Our alliance's plan to seize the North has been completely ruined. A month ago, I thought we had to go to them, but I didn't expect the situation to change so quickly. Now it's them. Come to us."

"Come to us?"

"I received a letter from Malvern's Falcon. He asked us to find a reliable ship to pick him up in the north. After he escaped in the Battle of Long Lake, he did not dare to return to the Great Wall, nor did he dare to go to Baidu. Port or crossing the Gulf of Carlin, he is fleeing to the Barren Land, hoping that our ship can pick him up at Saltspear Beach." Lorraine said for a moment, "I just don't have time to deal with this matter, since you are here Well, how about you take this trip?"

"Okay, now we are in a very bad situation, we must be more united," Lyanna nodded, "By the way, has he ever explained why he was defeated by Eddard Stark? And what's going on with him?" What is he going to do with Jon Snow and the two Lannister princes?"

"He did not elaborate on the reason for the defeat, but about Jon and the others. Malvern said that he left an NPC in Castle Black and told the other party that if he failed to return to Castle Black alive, Jon and Joffrey would be executed. He is now He is fleeing towards the Tombs, and Ed is marching towards Castle Black, so..."

"That waste! What role Jon Snow plays on the chessboard of the gods is still unknown. He should be the ace chess piece in our hands!"

"Wait until you pick him up before scolding him in person."

"Welcome His Majesty Stannis I of House Baratheon, King of the Andals, Rhoynar and First Men, Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm," followed a roll call from the Kingsguard.

"Your Majesty." The nobles saluted one after another.

Stannis just nodded slightly to them, then walked past them and walked to Kevan Lannister, who was being escorted by two soldiers.

Ser Kevan was bald, and his golden beard and hair were somewhat black from dust and blood. His hands were tied behind his back. The soldiers escorting him urged him to kneel down, but the tough sergeant refused to do so.

Stannis remembered that Kevan used to be quite fat, and his square jaw was full of flesh, but the Kevan in front of him was already a lot thinner than before. In fact, Harrenhal's supply situation was not so bad that he was running out of ammunition and food. , Kevan is so thin, it can only mean that he has been sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers for more than two months, and has not given himself a separate treatment.

From a commander's perspective, this is quite admirable.

"Lord Stannis." Before Stannis could speak, Kevan took the initiative to say hello.

"He is your king! Stannis Baratheon, Duke of Dragonstone, was favored by the gods and legally inherited the Iron Throne. He is already the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros." Standing behind Kevan Onion Knight Davos immediately reminded.

"There are no gods here. R'hllor is the only true god, one country, one God, and one king!" Alister Florent, Earl of Brightwater City, immediately retorted loudly. He is Queen Selyse's maiden Florent. The head of House Ren quickly converted to R'hllor after swearing allegiance to Stannis, becoming Stannis's Hand of the King and leader of his party.

Allister's remarks immediately aroused boos from some nobles and knights.

"Hahahaha," Ser Kevan couldn't help laughing loudly, and said to Stannis in a mocking tone, "It seems that there is some disharmony among your subordinates, Lord Stannis."

Stannis' face was ashen. He just turned his head slightly, and the knights behind him who were arguing about the Red God or the Seven Gods immediately fell silent, and the whole place became audible for a while.

Seeing this, Kevan had to restrain his smile, regain his serious expression, and looked at Stannis.

"Ser Kevan Lannister, you have been accused of treason. Do you have anything to defend yourself?" Stannis said straight to the point.

"I am loyal to my brother and my lord, and I do not think I am guilty." Kevan looked straight into Stannis's eyes that few people dared to look directly into, standing straight.

"The law also requires you to be loyal to your king." Stannis reminded.

"To which king? As far as I know, Renly Baratheon has also become king, and he has the support of my brother."

"He is my brother, and he has no right to become king before me, just as you have no right to become Lord of Casterly Rock before Tywin."

"But my brother wrote that you murdered the late King Robert."

Kevan's words immediately caused a stir among the nobles.

"Lies! Despicable lies!" This was the first time Stannis heard this statement, and he was immediately furious. "My brother really did everything he could to steal my throne."

"Sir Kevan," seeing that Kevan still wanted to continue this topic, Melisandre said first, "As long as you kneel down now to be loyal and repent of your sins."

"Shut up, woman, you have no place to speak here." Just as Melisandre started to persuade her to surrender, Kevan interrupted her.

"Stubborn traitor! We should immediately execute him for treason, Your Majesty." Seeing Kevan's disrespect for the priestess, Lord Allister Florent immediately suggested, "Purify his sins with sacred fire. "

Davos, the Onion Knight, was shocked when he heard this. Based on his knowledge of Stannis, for an unrepentant traitor like Kevan, Stannis might actually sentence him to death on the spot. This is not too bad. , but if Stannis really followed his new faith and sentenced Kevan to be burned on the spot, it would be a fatal blow to the relationship between king and minister between him and the nobles.

"No, Your Majesty," Davos quickly persuaded, "We can take Sir Kevan into custody first and give him some more time."

"No," Stannis answered Davos's question, but looked at Kevan, "the traitor must make a decision immediately, kneel or die."

"Kill me, Lord Stannis," Kevan responded with a smile. "You will never be my king."

"In the name of Stannis I of House Baratheon, King of the Andals, Rhoynar and the First Men, Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm, I hereby sentence you to death." Stannis After speaking, he took off his gloves and handed them to the Prime Minister, Count Alister Florent, "He will be burned at the stake tomorrow morning, and all the nobles must be present."

After saying that, Stannis mounted his horse and headed towards the gate of Harrenhal. Kevan was also escorted by a group of soldiers to the dungeon of Harrenhal.

"You cannot burn Kevan to death." Davos saw Stannis walking away and stepped forward to stop Melisandre, the red-robed woman who was also about to enter the city. "This will bring disaster to His Majesty."

"This is not my decision, it is the king's." Melisandre responded with a smile.

"It was you and your gods who induced the king. If it weren't for your presence, there would have been more nobles united by His Majesty's side."

"This is just a choice. The king chose Allah instead of the nobles who believed in false gods, so he gained strength." Melisandre spread her palms, "Soon, you and other nobles will also have to make a decision. Choice We all have to make a choice, whether we are male or female, old or young, noble or mediocre, we must choose light or darkness, justice or evil, true God or false god.”

"I don't understand your gods, and I don't understand your words," Davos shook his head. "In fact, the gods have no special meaning to me, although I, like most people, go on every expedition. I worshiped the warriors before, worshiped the blacksmith while launching my boat, or prayed to the Virgin when my wife was pregnant. But I knew I was not a pious person.”

Melisandre did not interrupt, but listened quietly to Davos' confession.

"So I'm not interested in the choices you're talking about. I choose Stannis, just Stannis. Everything I have is from him. His Majesty knighted me and made me sit alongside the other nobles.

Now my sons are on a path full of hope, Dale and Arad own ships, Malik is an oar officer on the Fury, and Mathos serves his father on the Black Bertha. , the king even accepted Dai Feng as a servant of the royal family, and he will definitely be knighted one day, as will my two younger sons in the future. "

Davos said, taking out the small leather bag hanging around his neck, which contained his knuckles that were chopped off by Stannis. "People often say that this is evidence of Stannis's cruelty and ungratefulness, but for me, After all, they are my lucky charms."

"So." Davos' tone became stern, "I will not sit back and watch you destroy His Majesty Stannis's career! Burning a noble alive will put other nobles in danger, and will put those pious knights at risk. Abandoning His Majesty will put His Majesty at a disadvantage in the subsequent battle for the throne." He said as he prepared to draw the sword with his hand. But at this moment, he found four knights from the rear party standing in front of him.

"The Red God foreshadowed your malice to me in the flames, ser." Melisandre smiled. "You wanted to assassinate me, sacrificing yourself to free His Majesty the King from the influence of the Lord of Light."

"But you are dead wrong," Melisandre walked through the knights and walked back to Davos. "Compared with the upcoming war, your so-called fight is just a child's fight."

Davos knew that this was the best opportunity to take action, but his right hand was unable to pull out the sword.

"The ancient gods unknown to mortals are gathering power, Davos Seaworth, a terrifying, evil and powerful force that is difficult for mortals to contend with. The cold wind has begun to blow, and soon there will be a long night that will never end unless the righteous People must have the courage to express their faith in the flaming red heart."

Melisandre said as she took Davos' hand and led him to a big fire in front of the camp.

"Use your eyes to see the future shown to us by the Lord of Light." She pushed Davos forward slightly. Davos stared at the flames, sweat beads on his forehead.

Soon, the illusion appeared in front of the two people.

It was a Gobi desert shrouded in residual clouds. The blood-soaked land was as bright red as the fire clouds in the sky. Corpses covered the earth, and there were magic dragons flying in the sky. What follows is a banquet scene where people are drinking and drinking. People at the banquet are wearing various costumes, but most of them are military uniforms. There seems to be a voice coming from the flames. Melisandre leans over to listen, and finally she can distinguish it. The Valyrian cry came out - Long live the Emperor.

"What is this?" Davos looked at Melisandre in confusion.

"Well" Melisandre was even more confused.

The last time she watched this scene, it was clearly a snow battle, with Stannis fighting in the snow holding the Lightbringer. But this time. What is this? The same questions as Davos came to her mind.

There was originally no word for 'emperor' in High Valyrian, and it was the Dragon Kings who ruled the Valyrian Freehold. Every Valyrian high noble who succeeds in being recognized by a dragon is called a Dragon King, so the term 'Emperor' referring to a single supreme being is not in the Valyrian system.

Until the Doomsday Catastrophe occurred. At that time, the mountains five hundred miles around Valyria erupted at the same time, pouring countless ash, smoke and fire into the sky. The hungry and blazing flames destroyed Valyria's cities, civilization and the people flying in the sky. The dragons were burned together.

Most of the dragon kings died in that disaster, leaving only a few survivors, the most famous of whom fled to Dragonstone long ago because of the prophecy of "Dreamwalker" Denise Targaryen. The Targaryen family of the island, followed by Orion, the dragon king who ruled Qohor at that time.

After the Doom, Orion recruited troops from the colonists of Qhor and proclaimed himself the first Valyrian Emperor. He rode his dragon and led thirty thousand infantry towards the ruins of Valyria with the intention of rebuilding the Freehold, but soon nothing was heard from him.

So I saw a war hundreds of years ago? Melisandre couldn't help but think.

Although the Orion Dragon King failed to make a splash in the long river of history, he is indeed the only person Melisandre knows who uses the title of 'Emperor' in Valyrian. Moreover, the dragon in the illusion also confirms the identity of the opponent's Dragon King.

So, did Orion ever engage in such a brutal battle after moving south from Qohor? Who is his enemy? The point is, why would the Red God show himself these pictures?

"Madam? What exactly did you want me to see just now?" Davos's voice interrupted Melisandre's thinking.

"The future." Melisandre quickly forced herself to regain at least a superficial sense of calm. "A future that has been changed."

"So who are the people in this future? I don't recognize their clothes, and I don't understand their language. I don't know what connection they have with Lord Stannis."

"The Lord of Light has his own will." Melisandre explained forcefully, with no trace of the embarrassment of failed pretense on her face. Of course, this was because the confusion and fear of being unable to understand the oracle occupied her heart, making her Because he has no time to care.

"I will not tell His Majesty the King what you just tried to assassinate me. Go into the city to accept your reward. The King still needs you," Melisandre said to Davos. "Besides, wait and see, in the Light In front of the king's might, no noble can abandon His Majesty." After leaving these words, Melisandre left in a hurry.

She did not plan to enter the city anymore, but returned to her tent. She needed to read some ancient books to help understand the latest revelation of the Red God.

After watching Melisandre leave, Davos glanced at the knights guarding her. Knowing that there was no possibility of successfully assassinating her, Davos temporarily gave up the plan and headed for the Hall of Harrenhal.

When Davos arrived in the hall, the investiture ceremony for tonight's other hero, Loran, had come to an end. Stannis dismissed Loran from his position as the Kingsguard and granted Harrenhal to him.

After Lorraan accepted the territory and swore allegiance to Stannis again, Davos also came to Stannis and half-knelt on the ground.

Stannis pulls out his long sword, which is the "Lightbringer" in Melisandre's mouth, the red sword of heroes. When the sword was unsheathed, the entire hall suddenly became brighter, and the sword shone with a strange light, sometimes orange, sometimes yellow, sometimes red, and the surrounding air also changed and glowed. No jewelry could be so brilliant.

Davos originally thought that the sword would be as hot as fire, but when Stannis put it on his shoulder, he felt that it was no different from other long swords.

This made Davos couldn't help but question Melisandre's god again. From time to time, he would show some miracles that the Seven Gods did not have, but sometimes it felt like a scam. Can he really ensure the victory of His Majesty the King? ?

"Ser Davos of House Seaworth," Stannis's voice interrupted Davos's thoughts, "are you my loyal subject today and forever?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Will you swear to serve me for the rest of your life, to give me honest advice and absolute obedience, to protect my rights and my country, to always fight by my side no matter the dangers ahead, to take care of my people, to punish My enemy?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Then get up, Davos Seaworth, Lord of the Rainforest. I gave Harrenhal to Lorraine. You don't have to be angry. I promise you that after we annihilate the rebels, you can get all the treasures from the Seven Kingdoms." Choose one of the empty castles as a reward for your loyalty."
