Cersei was a little confused: "Who else can we find as an ally? Dorne is already an ally, but together we can only barely defend the city."

Varys finally revealed his true purpose: "Maybe we can form an alliance with people on the other side of the strait, for example, the people of the Golden Army..."

Varys has always been a royalist lurking in King's Landing. Although he works diligently as the Minister of Intelligence, he has been in contact with people from the Targaryen family behind the scenes.

Dragon Mother, Aegon VI.

He actually prefers Dragon Mother because Dragon Mother has a purer bloodline, with a signature silver hair and beautiful appearance, and is the most standard Targaryen.

Little Aegon is rumored to be the child born by Prince Rhaegar and his wife Princess Dorne.

According to the order of succession, Little Aegon is actually above Dragon Mother, because he is the legitimate son, and Dragon Mother is just Prince Rhaegar's sister.

However, as far as Varys knows, Dragon Mother has three dragons!

That is the symbol of the first generation of Aegon!

Varys weighed the pros and cons and finally chose to side with Dragon Mother, but no one could figure out his mind now.

Now Vashley recommended Aegon Jr. to Cersei and Joffrey as an ally, and there were many considerations.

First, Dragon Mother would never accept an alliance with the Baratheon family. Robert was her number one enemy, and she would never accept an alliance with Robert's son. Even if this was just a son in name only.

Secondly, Vashley saw that Tywin was dead and Cersei was in power. Based on his understanding of Cersei, King's Landing would be doomed sooner or later.

At that time, Aegon Jr.'s forces would unite with Cersei's forces, and they could fight Robb to a loss. Dragon Mother would then directly land on Dragonstone and replicate the feat of her ancestors. Wouldn't it be beautiful?

At this time, Cersei didn't know that the person secretly supported by the Golden Company was Aegon Jr.

She asked happily: "Is it the Golden Group that is famous for its spirit of contract? I heard that they have 10,000 people, thousands of war horses and elephants."

Joffrey was also very happy: "They are willing to help us? Great, as long as they are willing to come, I will... I will give them a high ministerial position!"

Jaime and the little devil both felt something was wrong: "Why are they willing to come? We are at a disadvantage and have no money."

In fact, King's Landing is not only short of money, but also owes a lot of debt to the Iron Bank of Essos.

The reason is, of course, because His Majesty Robert is wise and brave, and borrowed money everywhere after spending all the savings of the previous dynasty.

Now that the West has also been taken by Robb, the most important source of funds for King's Landing has also been cut off, and this bad debt is basically unpaid.

In this situation, why should the people of the Golden Group help themselves?

Varys explained: "In fact, the Golden Company is not only betting on us, they have also joined forces with Stannis Baratheon."

Cersei screamed again: "What?! With that rebel?"

The Golden Company's meaning is very clear. They want King's Landing and Storm's End to temporarily put aside their previous hatred and unite with Dorne to resist Robb's sweeping situation first.

"Queen Mother, the enemy now is Robb. We can't put ourselves in an unfavorable situation just because of a quarrel!"

Cersei thought about it carefully and felt that there seemed to be no harm in agreeing.

Anyway, King's Landing now has less than 10,000 gold cloaks who can be considered as fighting power, and they are simply unable to resist Robb.

And at that time, King's Landing only needs to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and let the stupid Stannis of Storm's End and the greedy Golden Company rush to the front.

When they are both defeated, I can teach these idiots who don't know how to obey a lesson!

Seeing Cersei's acquiescence, Varys was also very happy: "Cheers for our unbreakable friendship that is about to come!"

The Little Devil and Jaime looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.

This alliance, which had its own ulterior motives and basically no one was thinking about the same thing, temporarily reached a verbal agreement and united under the pressure of Robb's high pressure.

The Minister of Finance Littlefinger looked at the Minister of Intelligence Varys with a smug smile on his face.

The Golden Group, so this is what you are hiding...

Both Littlefinger and Varys knew what the other party was hiding in secret, but judging from today's performance, Varys's reliance was very clear.

But no one knows about his own yet!

Littlefinger felt more and more that the final winner of this game must be himself!

After the meeting, Cersei came to her study, where she met her new important minister: Qyburn.

Qyburn is a maester in the Citadel, proficient in medicine. He came out of nowhere to treat Jaime's broken hand. Because of the good effect, he was soon favored by Cersei.

Qyburn is tall, with a slightly hunched back and many wrinkles around his prominent blue eyes. He is already old, but his gray hair is more than his white hair, and he always has a smile on his lips.

Cersei felt annoyed when she saw his smile: "Don't laugh! Didn't you say that my father would have no problem with the army this time? Your inventions, your wildfires! Why are they all useless!"

Qyburn said carefully: "It is said that Robb Stark's magic is too strong, and he has a lot of soldiers, so he can't gain any advantage in the field battle."

Coben regained his smile: "But the situation of defending the city is different. I have been very inspired recently. Not only can I research and produce wildfire faster, but I have also developed a new giant crossbow!

This giant crossbow is so powerful that it can easily kill even a dragon!"

Hearing that it can kill dragons, Cersei looked at Coben seriously: "Really?"

"The sample will be made in two days, and you will be able to see the power of this giant crossbow soon!" Coben confidently promised.

Cersei now feels that it doesn't matter: "Forget it, how is the wildfire made? I need more wildfire!"

Cersei already has a pessimistic plan in her heart. If King's Landing can't be defended one day, she will set fire to it and blow it upside down!

Let all those who are dissatisfied with her not get what they want!

Cersei at this time is not far from madness.

Storm's End, Lord's Hall

Stannis Baratheon found it incredible: "We must unite with that stupid bitch and the bastard for the king!"

Across from Stannis was Sir Clinton, the envoy sent by the Golden Army.

Sir Clinton and Stannis were actually old acquaintances.

Sir Clinton was the last Hand of the King of the Mad King, and he took up this position at the age of 19, breaking Tywin's record of being in his twenties.

The Clinton family was originally a great noble in the Stormlands, and its status was similar to that of Oldtown in the Riverlands, but because of its support for the Targaryen Dynasty, it was liquidated by Robert after the war and directly degraded to a knight family.

In fact, the reason why Clinton defended the Targaryen Dynasty without hesitation was also to fight for his love.

He was deeply in love with Prince Rhaegar, so until now, he joined the Golden Company to better take care of his child, little Aegon.

Facing Stannis's rage, Sir Clinton said calmly: "Do you think that you can resist Robb Stark by relying only on yourself and our strength?"

Clinton thought of Robb's record and felt incredible.

What's the point of being a prime minister at the age of 19?

That kid is younger than me, but he has already conquered half of Westeros!

The gap between geniuses is much greater than the gap between geniuses and ordinary people!

Stannis was speechless for a while: "Even if I surrender to him, I will never form an alliance with that disgusting bastard!"

Clinton saw through his little thoughts: "But you won't, right? In fact, you know very well that once you surrender to Robb Stark, you will really have nothing and completely lose the chance to compete for the throne!

But if you unite with us, even if you tear your face after the war, you still have a chance to take everything back, right? I think our goals are the same now."

Stannis's face changed, and his thoughts were seen through by Clinton.

After a long discussion, Stannis accepted the other party's proposal with a constipated look on his face.

Stannis said angrily: "But, we have to make it clear first, our covenant will only last until Robb is defeated. Once Robb is defeated, everything we said before will be invalidated!"

Clinton smiled slightly: "No problem, it depends on your ability at that time."

--

After sending Clinton away, Stannis sighed deeply.

He flashed and came to a secret study, where several people were waiting for him.

A one-eyed dragon, an old man, and a red witch as bodyguards.

One of the men with an eye mask said insidiously: "The matter with the Golden Group is almost settled."

Stannis was furious: "Euran, I am not your subordinate, you should be careful with your words when talking to me!"

The old man on the side persuaded: "We are all grasshoppers on the same rope, there is no need to be so angry."

This old man and the one-eyed man are of course Euron who was defeated by Robb and the old man of Oldtown-Earl Hightower.

The two are quite similar. They both lost their own territory, but they still have a little army.

The most important thing is that both of them can still do some magic.

The old man in Oldtown said calmly: "Since the matter with the Golden Company has been settled, we can go to Essos without any worries."

"You and the people of the Golden Company will resist Robb's attack together. Euron and I will go to Essos to find the woman with three dragons. When we take back the dragons, we will come back to join you!"

"By then, the Golden Company and King's Landing will definitely have no fighting power left. No matter how strong Robb is, he will not be the opponent of our three dragons!"

Stannis reminded: "Remember, your daughter must complete the wedding with me before you can leave."

Euron smiled: "I didn't expect that several of us could get together."

The old man in Oldtown smiled: "It's all the guidance of fate!"
