Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

By the Trident River.

There were shouts of killing.

Duke Tywin Lannister stood on a high hill, staring at the battlefield for a while, his brows gradually frowned.

Footsteps sounded behind them. It was Lord Roose Bolton, Lord of Dreadfort in the North, and Countess Anya Waywood, Lord of Oak City in the Valley Metro.

"What's going on? Why did it start earlier?" Duke Tywin asked back.

"Frey has betrayed." Earl Luce said helplessly, "That old fellow married his granddaughter to Robb Stark, and sent someone to reveal our plot to the Lord of the Three Realms. If I move a little slower , this army is about to run away.”

"Frey!" Duke Tywin pursed his lips and said angrily, "I don't even want the title of Guardian of the Riverlands I gave him, and I would rather marry Stark... What does this weasel think? "

Mrs. Anya said: "It's okay, Lord Luce reacted quickly. At least the army in the riverland has suffered heavy losses, and the army in the north has also suffered a lot. As for the valley, I am sure to control the situation."

Earl Luce added: "In addition, Winterfell has also been controlled by my illegitimate son Ramsay Snow, and Kalin Bay has also been occupied by my troops. The situation in the northern border is not too bad. Me and Anya Madame joins hands, and sooner or later the wolf will be skinned and cramped. You can deal with the dragon in the south with peace of mind."

"Don't worry about the dragon in the south." Lord Tywin said, "Let's march north together. Before winter comes, I will make both Foyle and Stark bow their knees before me!"

Mrs. Anya was stunned for a moment: "Is there really no need to worry about the south?"

Duke Tywin shook his head, the golden light in his eyes flickered:

"Victory does not have to rely on swords and spears, it can also rely on pen and paper and ravens."

——

"Where's our raven?"

Lady Olenna asked in the Bachelor's Tower in Highgarden.

"They all died of illness. It's an extremely rare disease. It hasn't been seen for hundreds of years. I found the corresponding symptoms only after searching through ancient books." The bachelor quickly comforted, "But you don't have to go too far. Worrying, according to the records, this disease can only spread among birds and will not infect humans.”

"Don't worry?" Madam Olenna said angrily, "Highgarden has become a restricted area for ravens. We can't receive or send out news. The Tyrell family is almost deaf and dumb. You actually told me not to worry. ?”

The bachelor was also used to the Queen of Thorns' fiery temper, so he patiently comforted her:

"When the birds near Highgarden are almost dead, the plague should be over. At that time, I will go to Old Town to buy a batch of new ravens..."

"How long will that take?"

"Estimated... a month later."

"One month?!" Mrs. Olenna said, "You let the Tyrell family be deaf and dumb for another month? After a month, the Lord of the Reach will probably forget who the Guardians of the South are!"

"It can be replaced by sending a message on horseback..." The bachelor knew that the efficiency of information transmission would be greatly reduced, but he could only suggest this.

Madam Olenna's eyes flickered coldly: "I'm afraid this incident is not an accident. Someone is targeting the Tyrell family!"

The bachelor stroked his waist-length beard and said:

"If it is really artificial, then this person must have a very in-depth research on the pathology of ravens..."

"Did the Academy send someone to High Court recently?" Mrs. Olenna said urgently.

"Dr. Marwyn followed Earl Hightower to attend Lord Caesar's wedding, and just left the day before yesterday..."

"'Magician' Marwin?" Madam Olenna's heart skipped a beat, "Hightower! Horseman!"

She walked out of the room quickly, and told the guard outside the door:

"Go and tell Metz that the Ma Party may cause chaos, and let him immediately summon vassals and troops to prepare for the battle!"

"yes!"

"Send sentry cavalry to patrol around Gaoting and keep an eye out for possible enemies!"

"yes."

After arranging all this, Mrs. Olenna still couldn't calm down.

She always felt like she was missing something.

After walking a few steps, Mrs. Olenna suddenly stopped, her tone became hurried and trembling:

"Quick! Ancient Oak City, and the Fruit Wine Hall! Send people to these two places to check the situation!"

"yes."

...

The atmosphere in Gaoting these days is particularly dignified.

The servants were careful not to make any noise when they walked, because Mrs. Olenna was in a very bad mood recently and lost her temper at every turn.

Just yesterday, a maid accidentally knocked over a teacup, and the Queen of Thorns beat her up and drove her out of the castle.

Even the Duke of Mace was avoiding his mother for fear of being scolded again.

But now, the inflatable fish finds itself unable to hide.

"What? Randyll Tarly's attacking the wine hall?"

"That's right! Randall claimed that he was ordered by you to make the Fossoway family pay for the previous rebellion!" Sir Jon Fossoway said anxiously, "My lord, didn't you promise not to do so before?" Are you holding the rebellion accountable? Why are you backing out now? Have you forgotten that Garlan Tyrell is still in the Cider Hall!"

"I didn't, I didn't order it!" cried the Duke of Mace. "Has Lando Tarly gone mad?"

"You didn't give an order? Then why didn't you reply when I wrote to ask you?" Jon Fossoway was also stunned.

The Fossoway family in New Barrel Town is a branch of the Fossoway family in the Fruit Wine Hall. Although they have separated, they still have the same surname. Come to Highgarden.

He had already thought of a set of excuses to intercede for Earl Fossoway, but he didn't expect to get such a reaction from Duke Metz.

Damn the inflatable fish didn't forget to reply, did he?

"I didn't receive the letter..." The Duke of Mace's face suddenly changed, "Oh! It's a damn disease! There is a bird disease in Highgarden, and all the ravens are dead! That's why I didn't receive the letter!"

Ser Jon was dumbfounded. "What a coincidence?"

"This must be a trick of the Horse Party!" Duke Mace thought of his mother's worries, and ran out immediately, ignoring the nonsense with Sir Jon.

After finding Mrs. Olenna in the garden, Duke of Metz hastily conveyed the news that Earl Landau had attacked the fruit wine hall.

"Rando and the others are going to betray High Court?" Duke Mace roared, "How could those people from the Horse Party be willing to go crazy with him?"

"He must be under the banner of countering the rebellion." Mrs. Olenna said in a low tone, but there was no surprise on her face, as if she had expected the current situation long ago.

"Suppress the rebellion? What rebellion?" Duke Mace obviously didn't turn the corner. "Hasn't the civil strife ended long ago? I have already promised not to pursue the crimes of the Deer Party. Why would he dare to make his own claim?"

"Not the previous rebellion, idiot! It's the new rebellion!"

"A new rebellion? When did the Deer Party betray again?"

"As long as the Fossoways kill Garlan Tyrell, they are rebels."

"How dare Fossoway kill..." Duke Mace finally understood now.

Randyll Tarly is forcing the Fossoways to kill Garland!

The other party attacked the fruit wine hall under the banner of countering the rebellion. Earl Fossoway must have thought that the Tyrell family had torn up the agreement and liquidated it afterwards.

Of course, Earl Fossoway would not kill Garland right away, he would definitely send a raven to High Court to inquire.

But the point is, the disease in Gaoting is rampant now, and the ravens can't fly in at all!

The Tyrells couldn't write back to explain either.

Once a misunderstanding arises, who can guarantee that the Fossoway family will not die?

"Raymond Fossoway probably wouldn't kill Garland..." Duke Metz cried, "Garland is his son-in-law after all!"

Mrs. Olenna sneered and said, "Even if the Fossoway family insists on not killing Garland, Landau will kill Garland once the wine hall is breached. As long as Garland dies in the wine hall, the Fossoway family will be finished. "

"No! No!" cried the Duke of Mace. "I will send troops to the wine hall immediately to stop Randyll Tarly!"

"It's too late." Mrs. Olenna sighed, "How long has this been delayed, Randall may have captured the fruit wine hall long ago."

"It shouldn't be so fast..."

"Hmph! It only took Randall Tarly a day to attack the Bronzegate City in the Stormlands! How long do you think it will take him to take the Wine Hall?"

"Bronze Gate City... isn't that because of Caesar's white dragon?"

"White dragon?" Madam Olenna sneered, "When can a dragon that is less than a year old have such power? If the dragon can really grow so fast, why did the Targaryen family have to grow up in Dragonstone? The island lay dormant for hundreds of years before raising troops to land in Westeros?"

"Then what happened to Tongmen City?"

"It's a thing called gunpowder developed by Bachelor Keben of Yingzui Island, which can blast the city wall."

Duke Metz's complexion turned pale instantly: "So, the fruit wine hall..."

"It should be impossible to keep it. Not only the wine hall, but also the ancient oak city."

"Ancient Oak City! Vilas!" Duke of Metz screamed, "Are they going to force Vilas to death?"

"Don't expect the mercy of the enemy." Of course Mrs. Olenna would not take chances.

Ancient Oak City is farther away from Highgarden, so the news has not been transmitted yet, but she can be sure that since the Horse Party has made a move, it will never let Ancient Oak City go. The eldest son of the Duke of Metz is there.

"Why? Why!" The Duke of Metz cried out, "I married my daughter to Caesar, why do they still do this!"

"Shut up! Crying is useless." Madam Olenna scolded, "We can set up a trap for Caesar, and it is reasonable for him to resist."

"We... want to kill Caesar?" Duke Metz obviously didn't know about his mother's plan.

"Yes." Madam Olenna said solemnly, "It seems that Caesar must have known that I wanted to kill him, otherwise the reaction of the Horse Party would never have been so great. Who leaked it..."

The Duke of Metz stared at his mother for a long while, his eyes were extremely complicated, and asked:

"Mother, why did you kill Caesar?"

Mrs. Olenna didn't answer her son's question, but just stared blankly at the eastern sky, and murmured:

"We still have a chance, as long as we kill Caesar. As long as Caesar dies at the coronation ceremony, the Horse Party will fall apart..."
