The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

On the fourth day when the Lannister army stormed Riverrun, the scorching sun was like a blazing fireball, and the sunlight was so intense that it was difficult to open one's eyes.

Under Benliu City, corpses piled up like mountains, some were mutilated, and some looked hideous. Crows circled in the sky, making shrill cries, filled with the smell of death.

The Lannister soldiers were silently carrying the corpses one after another. Sweat rolled down their foreheads and dripped on the blood-stained ground. There was only numbness and exhaustion on their faces.

On Riverrun, the Tully army followed the tradition of honor and did not capture the Lannister soldiers who were carrying the corpses, but just watched it all quietly.

The Tully soldier's eyes revealed complex emotions, including anger and pain. After the Lannister's work was done, it was their turn to move.

Lannister camp.

Davon Lannister's war-stained face was stained with dried blood, and he drank a large glass of ale in one gulp.

He casually wiped the wine from his beard and said, "The Marquis of Almon is willing to support two thousand soldiers."

Jaime Lannister's handsome face was covered with rough beard. He sat down tiredly and said, "Is this good news?"

"Did you see it too? But he has conditions." Sir Davon laughed, his laughter full of sarcasm.

After the waiter filled the wine, Sir Davon waved everyone else in the tent to leave.

He picked up the wine glass and took a long sip of wine, exhaled happily, and then said: "The Marquis of Almon has taken a liking to Riverrun. He wants to leave the Twins to one of his sons, and he will move here himself. , became the Duke of Riverrun."

Sir Jaime sat motionless, as if he had not heard the "surprise" Sir Davon said.

Sir Davon continued minding his own business: "Because of this matter, I went to see Lady Gina. She surprised me. I really didn't expect that she also supported the Marquis' proposal. She told me that his husband was a coward. Without Lannister support, the surviving Frey family will soon drive him down without even being able to save their lives."

James's green eyes moved slightly. Sir Davon took a sip of wine and continued: "She feels that Brynden is the last Tully. After his death, Riverrun will be much simpler than the Twins."

Ser Jaime's voice sounded: "There is also Catelyn Tully in the Trout family."

Ser Davon shrugged and said, "I also mentioned Mrs. Stark, but my aunt didn't care about her at all. She said Winterfell was too far away and couldn't care about the affairs of the south."

Sir James stretched his legs, leaned on the back of the chair, looked up at the roaring lion flag hanging on the tent roof, and said, "You agreed?"

"What can I promise? Again, I don't care, but I do need Frey's troops..."

As he spoke, Sir Davon paused, grinned, and said, "I said I would convey their request to Cersei in the name of the Guardian of the West."

There was no emotion in James's voice: "Is Marquis Aymon satisfied with your response?"

Sir Davon spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and said: "I don't know the specifics, but Lady Gina just sent someone, saying that the Marquis of Almon will personally lead the troops tomorrow."

After a moment of silence, Sir Davon leaned his upper body in the direction of James and said: "Lady Gina asked me to tell you that if no one can protect the Lannister on behalf of Lord Tywin, then... other Lannister Like her, she has no choice but to save herself, and the family will become a pile of sand sooner or later. "

James turned his head and looked over. Before he could speak, Sir Davon added, "She also said... Cersei is not Tywin's 'son'. Please don't use your sister as an excuse."

Sir James closed his eyes for a while and said very tiredly: "Davon, I am the Kingsguard, I swore an oath..."

Ser Davon curled his lips and interrupted: "Cousin, you swore to protect King Targaryen, why didn't you stab him to death anyway."

James: "......"

Sir Davon laughed loudly: "James, actually we all envy you. You made the song "The Rains of Castamere" resound throughout the Seven Kingdoms. This is my dream."

Looking at the speechless James, he paused, his smile faded, and he said seriously: "To be honest, I also hope you can consider Aunt Gina's suggestion. You are Lord Tywin's legal heir. As for Cersei ………”

Da Feng pondered for a moment, then continued: "Although I am very grateful that she unexpectedly promoted me to the guardian of the Western Region, I have no expectations for her. She is not a smart woman, and I have known it for a long time."

Ser Jaime sighed tiredly: "I have broken my oath too many times..."

Hearing this, Davon Lannister grinned: "I want to be like you, but I don't have the courage. I really have to admire your courage. I am telling the truth."

James: "......"

Sir Davon added: "Furthermore, you have destined the maester to record your life in "True History". I really envy this kind of thing. Alas, I hope that the city will think that I, an unqualified guardian of the West, is worthy of being in that book." Write down a few words."

family………

honor………

James's heart was irritable, but his face was firm as he said: "I am the Kingsguard."

After saying that, he stood up and left the tent.

Sir Davon sat quietly for a while, then stood up and left. He had to prepare for the next siege, and this was the most important thing now.

After breaking through Trout's castle, Lannister had to make a choice. Aunt Gina had begun to save herself, and he... If Jaime still insisted, he himself would have to make plans for the future.

…………

South bank of the Red Fork River.

Green Kleb stood on the shore and looked in the distance, and the shouts of Lannister and Tully could be heard faintly in the distance.

After a pause, Green's eyes suddenly moved slightly. His gaze slowly moved down, and he caught a glimpse of a graceful figure underwater.

She is the daughter of the sea monster. Through the clear river water, you can vaguely see her graceful outline, and her body is swaying gently in the water.

Wow! Asha jumped out of the water like a fish and immediately swam towards Green's location.

"I'm really curious what you are thinking about?"

Swimming under Green, Asha stood in the water, water drops quickly sliding down her tight wheat-colored skin.

She shook it slightly, and the water droplets on her short brown-black hair splashed out. She raised her head and looked at Green with a pair of bright and sharp eyes.

"You have a good figure, Miss Kraken." After saying that, Green calmly withdrew his gaze and continued to look into the distance.

Asha's laughter suddenly burst out from below. She swung her arms slightly, swam a few times, and walked out of the river.

Water drops slid down Asha's straight calves. When she swayed to Green's side and was about to speak, Brienne of Tarth put a blue robe on her.

"You're so thoughtful."

Asha blinked at Brienne, who glanced expressionlessly before returning to her guarding position.

"You seem to only compliment me on my 'nice figure', my Lord Grimm, but this actually hurts my heart."

Green raised his eyebrows and said nothing. He just took off the wine bag from his waist and handed it over.

"Cleb is so considerate. After staying here for a few days, I feel that Greyjoy is indeed a pirate. Although everyone says so, this is the first time I have this feeling."

Pulling out the cork, Asha raised her head and took a swig of wine, wiped the corners of her mouth, and continued: "For me, there are only two kinds of men in the Iron Islands, one is a man who loves me like my father, and the other It’s a man who wants to sleep with me.”

Green smiled and said, "This shows how charming you are, Miss Asha."

Taking another sip of wine, Asha said angrily: "That damn charm is all fake. After leaving the Iron Islands, all the men in the Green Land..."

She gritted her teeth: "...For example, among the knights under you, they peek at most, but none of them come to express their love to me. This makes me unable to even find a chance to play tricks on a few stupid men and deceive you into pity. ”

Green chuckled: "I like your frankness. In fact, this is not a problem of your charm, but the pleasure of the bed that is prohibited in Camp Kleb."

Asha couldn't help but widen her eyes, and said with some disbelief: "Men's things are not easy to control. How do you make them so well-behaved?"

"Law and Glory."

Seeing that Green was not joking with her, she still asked in disbelief: "Is this enough?"

Green shook his head slightly: "Strict laws require the protection of generous rewards. Others... can be gradually improved."

After a moment of silence, Asha stared at Green and said, "I understand what you mean, but a generous reward cannot support too many subordinates."

"Yes."

After a pause, Green raised the corner of his mouth, showed a smile, and joked: "If the golden dragon is not enough, there is still - force is better than hard work."

She was startled, and then Asha giggled, holding her stomach.

After a while, she finally stopped laughing, panting heavily, and said: "Since your tongue is so flexible, why do you only praise my figure? My face..."

As she spoke, she pinched her chin: "I want to find an opportunity to take a good look at those beauties in the green land."

"There will be a chance."

After speaking, Green pointed to the chairs placed not far away and took steps.

As he walked, he said: "I know that you suddenly came to seduce me, not out of curiosity. Please speak, and I will listen to your voice."

"I sincerely recommend that you go to the academy, the extremely wise Duke Green."

Green sat down, glanced at Asha who was standing there with her arms crossed, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your suggestion, I will consider it, please sit down."

Asha's voice was filled with anger. She waved her hands and said, "I'll finish quickly. My uncle asked me to go back to Shita City as soon as possible. There should be important matters to discuss."

Green was not surprised that Asha could receive news from her uncle. Angai had already reported to him that the sea monster's daughter had seen a "fisherman" at the ferry this morning.

"Send my regards to Lord Rodrik Harharlaw."

Asha's bright black eyes turned slightly. She walked slowly, came to Green, bent down, looked directly at him, and said: "My uncle will definitely be happy for me. I am touched by your concern."

Green lowered his eyes, looked at her, and said, "We have joined forces. During this period, you are under my protection, Miss Asha Greyjoy."

He asked again: "When will you set off?"

Asha's face was a little stiff: "I'll leave right away."

Green tapped his chin: "You will receive news from your brother after a while."

Asha reluctantly twitched her lips: "I will return to you as soon as possible, Your Majesty the Duke."

…………

In the afternoon, the Lannister army, under the command of Ser Davon, rushed towards Riverrun again. However, the exhausted soldiers of the Trout family still stubbornly fought off their waves of attacks, and the city was filled with corpses.

Just when the morale of the Lannister army was low, Crabbe's trebuchet fired large "fruits" at Riverrun. The green flames filled the sky over the southern part of Riverrun with thick black smoke, like a dark cloud descending.

Although the distance was far, it also caused chaos among the Tully soldiers guarding the west wall, and the morale of the Lannister army attacking the city was immediately boosted.

…………

The fierce battle between the two sides, with every breath, a fresh life was lost forever.

On the tower, Duke Brynden's weathered face was tense, staring at the cruel battle below, with his guard captain and old maester Wayman beside him.

"Many Lannister soldiers have already climbed up."

After a pause, the captain of the guard said anxiously: "My Lord Duke, I have arranged people at the sluice gate, waiting for your orders at any time."

The young people who laughed with him in the morning were throwing themselves into the arms of the stranger one by one... Brynden Tully clenched his fists tightly, and the blue veins on them were bulging, as if they would burst at any time.

He narrowed his deep blue eyes and said, "A lion can't stay on the walls of Trout for long, my captain of the guard."

He paused, looked in the direction of the Tengshi River, and said in a steady and hoarse voice: "The sluice is my gift to Lannister and Frey to share. They will be here soon."

Maester Wayman said, "When the river fills the moat, the brave warriors of the "island" of Riverrun can rest for a while."

Lord Brynden nodded, "Soon."

Maester Wayman grabbed the battlement, looked down for a while, sighed, and said, "But I'm worried that Duke Crabbe won't let us rest. His wildfire is getting more and more accurate. Lord Blackfish, he will sooner or later take Green The flames are burning into the castle. We need to prepare a response as soon as possible. "

The captain of the Trout family's guard looked at the smoke billowing in the south and said, "I feel that the famous general is forcing the Lannisters to attack Riverrun. Is he hiding other conspiracies?"

Brynden's eyes were deep: "Obviously, he wants to see the lion and the trout bleed together."

The captain of the guard shrugged: "My lord, it is also obvious that the Lannisters are not as powerful as everyone says."

"About this..."

Speaking, Duke Brynden paused slightly, he hid the sadness in his eyes: "... When King Robb swept across the West, he had already announced the weakness of the Lannisters to the Seven Kingdoms. "
