Chapter 0651 With a bang, little Annie made her debut (?o?╰╯o??)?(1/4)
Red Fort can be said to be the tallest, largest, and most well-defended fortress-style building in King's Landing City. Its construction can be traced back to Aegon I, that is, during the first year of Aegon.
The castle occupies the highest and most dangerous highland in Junlin City. It is built on the mountain at the entrance of the Heishui River entering Heishui Bay. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack against the sea. It covers an area of about 800,000 square feet. It also has a large castle complex with many exquisite buildings and nearly 2,000 large and large rooms with sound functions. The entire building is also made of hard stones... It can be said that it is the most magnificent and vast giant building in Junlin City and even the entire Westeros continent, no one!
This is actually a matter of course!
After all, King's Landing is the capital of the seven kingdoms, and Red Fort is the castle and palace where the king lives. It is the royal family and the king's throne, the location of the Iron Throne!
Because King's Landing is located on the east coast of Westeros and is built by the sea, Cersei is here in this military command post that is like a courtyard, but the ground is extremely smooth, and there is also a detailed topographic map of the entire Westeros continent and the free trade city-state area of the west coast of Essos. At this window, she can easily overlook the Blackwater Bay in the distance, and watch the lush trees in the south that were supposed to be lush royals began to fall leaves and decorated with Kaikai's snow...
‘…’
‘No, time is too tight, and there is not enough troops… When we go south, we only need to occupy the High Court and Green Valley City. Long Table Fort, Fruit Wine Hall and Baiyangtan can be ignored…’
‘But, sir! If the army of Dornese goes north from here to threaten King’s Landing, our plans will be disrupted!’
‘…’
‘Donn’s main force is now in the northern border, and they dare not, nor do they have any extra troops to threaten King’s Landing!’
‘I agree with this! King Landing’s defense is not something that Donne can see now…’
‘But what to do in Hewan?’
‘Hewan land…’
‘General! I think we just need to go west along Rose Avenue and conquer Golden Tree City, Ancient Oak City and Racquet Hall, go north to Lannister Port, and the troops heading west along Golden Avenue to recover Kaiyan City!’
‘…’
'feasible!'
‘The Fengxi Fort in the south should have almost fought now…there are only the east and north sides left.’
‘The troops are still not strong enough, and the time is too urgent.’
'Too……'
Now, the military generals and noble lords under her Cersei were discussing nervously on the map. Since their highest commander, James Lannister, had already gone north alone to fight the White Walkers, now, without a person who was assigned command in the middle, their efficiency in assigning combat tasks seemed a bit low, and many decisions had to be discussed.
Of course, it was just a bit low, and this did not prevent them from sending more troops to conquer the originally planned places today and completely unify the entire southern part of Westeros except the Kingdom of Dorn.
“…”
call!
After seeing the monotonous snow scene outside the window and sighing that the days on the Westeros have begun to become difficult, Cersei, who was a little impatient, finally couldn't help it, and then took a breath, cheered up a little, turned his head, and looked at the generals behind him who were still discussing some related matters in a low voice:
"Dear generals, jazz!"
She continued to say:
"According to the latest information sent back by the Crow, three days ago, the White Walkers launched a fierce attack on Winterfell for the first time. Both sides could be said to have suffered casualties and injuries... Moreover, according to the spies' rewards, the dragon crystals and flames were proven to be able to kill White Walkers. As long as they find the right solution, they are not as terrible as the legendary ones..."
"There is another good news..."
"It is said that the Dragon Mother... the Night King of Daenerys Targaryen and the White Walkers' Legion, they were both injured in the first contact battle in the northern border three days ago, and the Night King still has no idea of his life and death... Although the Dragon Mother was lucky enough to be rescued, at the same time, she also lost all her dragons!!"
Of course, if it is said that the dragon mother Daenerys Targaryen's dragon died, this statement may be a bit inaccurate, but what is certain is that among the three dragons on the other side, one of them was killed by the Night King and transformed one, and the remaining two were killed and injured in the decisive battle three days ago... The injured one is still lying in Winterfell, wailing and recuperating. If it is not restored for a long time, it will definitely not fly.
So, Cersei can proudly say here: 'The Dragon Mother Lost All Her Dragon'!
And from then on, that woman's dragon could no longer pose any threat to Cersei's Iron Throne and King's Landing, and could no longer bother her!
Without the dragon, the mother of the dragon is no different from an ordinary woman. As long as Cersei completes her own layout one step ahead of the other's dragon recovery.
If she had good luck enough, she wouldn't even need to deal with the woman who dared to peek at her Iron Throne. Just those White Walkers who were said to have hundreds of thousands of terrible numbers heading south, they could easily tear those stupid guys apart!
If the people in the north can both lose money, that would be the most perfect...
At that time, as long as there are no monsters that can fly, Cersei firmly believes that with her more and more troops, with more and more "wildfires" and more throwing equipment, as well as secret weapons under emergency research, she can, and will definitely wait for the effort to successfully resist or eliminate any enemy going south!
Whether they are the coalition forces in the north or the White Walkers, they will not be her Cersei's opponents at that time.
At that time, she will still be the queen of the kingdom, the master of the Iron Throne, the guardian of the entire territory of the monarchs of the seven kingdoms, and the queen of the Andals and their ancestors!
She will become a legend!!
Of course, it’s a little early to dream now. She still needs to complete her own layout earlier, that is, unify the southern countries and build their relevant defensive fronts to block the southern invasion of the enemy in the northern border in the Trident River.
"So everyone, we need to move faster now, and faster!"
"I ask you to lead your troops before this afternoon, and be sure to go west along Golden Avenue and Rose Avenue, recover Kaiyan City and occupy the river bay within half a month, before the decisive changes occur in the battle in the north!"
"To the north, along King's Avenue, occupy the towns of Helenburg and Count Harrowway, and at the same time build a fortress south of the intersection of the Trident River, guarding the main roads of the enemy from the north to the south, and not allowing any man or any horse to cross the Trident River that has not yet frozen!"
"Remember, no matter whether you see people or White Walkers going south, don't put them in our south easily!!"
After assigning the mission, he walked to the generals and noble jazz, looked at the map under everyone's feet for a while, Cersei passed the Fengxi Castle in the south and turned to the east.
Because, the Windswift Castle had sent troops south a few days ago, and now they probably have occupied the place and prepared to reunite? Because she knew that there were not too many rebels in the Windswift who were unwilling to surrender to her Queen Cersei, and most of them had already gone north to Winterfell to fight against the White Walkers.
There shouldn't be much problem if it occupies there, so she doesn't want to pay more attention.
“As for the east…”
"Sir Harry Strykran, I need your Golden Group to cooperate with the Iron Islands fleet and join them in capturing the Dragon Rock Island of Daenerys Targaryen! There are not many troops there now. I think that kind of small things should not be a problem for you, right?"
After arranging the military strategies in the southwest and north, Cersei looked at the island marked with the color of the enemy in the east, and then looked up at the very obese commander of the Golden Corps, Sir Harry Strekland, who was not as good as a general.
As far as she knew, the army on Dragonstone Island was getting fewer and fewer, and the army of the Dragon Mother Daenerys, whether it was the Unscrupulous, the Slack Cavalry, or the coalition forces of the Dorn and the Hua family, had already gone north to the north. Now it was either in Winterfell or on the way to Winterfell. There were only three or five thousand left on Dragonstone Island. I believe it would not be an opponent of the Golden Governorthur and the Iron Islands fleet with a total of 20,000 elite troops!
"Of course there is no problem!"
"If there is a fleet of the Iron Islands to help, we are confident that we will take this island within one day after landing!!"
After looking at the map beneath his feet, Sir Harry Stryklan took his fat and funny body disapproved, took a few steps forward, and stepped on the position of Dragonstone Island with some cruelty, indicating that he would not take this inconspicuous island seriously at all.
Because there were only a few thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people on the top, and he had the ability to take the place at a very small price and hand it over to the employer of Queen Cersei.
"only……"
"I'm sorry, although it would be a bit offensive, but Her Majesty Queen Cersei, I have to ask you here... Although I don't know much about commanding and fighting, I'm afraid even I can see: this small Dragon Stone Island is far from King's Landing, and it is far away from Blackwater Bay. Even if we occupy it and destroy the small number of troops above, what's the use?!"
"Look, there are so many islands here. If Daenerys Targaryen heads south then, her fleet, whether on Chaotou Island or Crab Island, all have places to land and repair. We don't have so many troops to defend so many places."
Although Harry Strykran was an incompetent head of the Golden Corps who was a financial officer, he still had the most basic military qualities... So, although he felt that what he had assigned him was a simple combat mission, he felt that it was not much meaning, so he kindly spoke out to remind Queen Cersei, who was determined to occupy all the territory south of the Trident River.
In his opinion, the current situation only needs to occupy important strategic points. Insignificant things like Dragon Stone Island can be given up. You only need to send a fleet to trap the opponent, and then put more troops into the north, and on the Trident River and the Herenberg front line. That is the wisest choice!
Of course, he is just a mercenary. If the other party insists, he will definitely not violate the contract and refuse to obey the order!
Because, the most honor of their golden group is that they never break the contract! Their motto is - words come out like gold!
“…”
"Sir Harry Strykland, I think, you may not know yet, right?"
"There is a very important mineral on Dragon Stone Island, called 'Dragon Crystal'! In this world, except for flames, the only one that can easily kill those White Walkers is the magical black stone produced from Dragon Stone Island..."
"If the one who won the Northern Decisive Battle then... was the White Walker instead of that woman... I think we would definitely be able to use those stones, what do you think?"
Preparing for the last moment is the first thing Cersei has to consider now, such as those dragon crystals. She couldn't wait until the war in the north was about to come to fruition before rushing to mine and transport. She had to start preparing and digging now!
Although it is a bit inappropriate to send troops to attack the Dragon Mother Daenerys Targaryen's Dragon Stone Island, she must do that! Because because she refused to send troops north to Winterfell to participate in the alliance, the Dragon Stone Island has always used this as a reason to refuse to provide any dragon crystal mine to her king's forces, which made her very upset and passive.
Therefore, if Cersei wants to find one day to obtain those dragon crystal mines, she must immediately tear her face and capture the Dragon Stone Island to get the kind of thing she wants!
"So that's what it is..."
"Very well, I think I understand... Then, the Golden Gate will obey your will, and respected Her Majesty Cersei, I will lead my Golden Gate to complete the boarding this afternoon, and at the latest in three days, you will receive the news of our victory!"
After nodding and understanding the reason that he had to take down the inconspicuous island as soon as possible, Sir Harry Stryl, the leader of the Golden Governor, smiled and patted his chest, saying that he would lead his own legion to take down the small Dragonstone Island for Queen Cersei, destroy all the enemies above and dig out ore!
Of course, the enemy's strength is too weak, and there are not many left behind, so he will not take away all the troops, at most... it is enough to transfer most of the infantry! After all, the cavalry troops of the Golden Regiment and the mammoth elephants do not have much room to exert their combat effectiveness on Dragon Stone Island, so it would be better to stay here directly in Junlin, which would save the trouble of loading and transporting back and forth.
"very good!"
"If you don't have any comments, you can prepare now... Remember! In half a month, you only have half a month to complete all of that!!"
After looking at the Lannister generals present, the loyal lords and nobles of various territories and the mercenaries, Cersei arrogantly announced the deadline for him to complete the task, and waved his hand to signal that they could leave here and prepare early.
“…”
"As for your order, my Majesty!"
"yes!"
"You are waiting for our good news!"
Soon, when everyone finally saluted Queen Cersei and promised to promise, they turned around and left the room on the floor with the topographic map of Westeros, leaving only Queen Cersei and Sir Robert Sturs, the queen guard who had been silent behind her.
“…”
After there was no outsider here, Cersei turned around and looked out the window with a cold face.
Although the heavy snow had stopped, the weather became colder and colder... As far as she knew, the city's fur, cotton wool and other cold-proof supplies became more and more expensive. Even though she had ordered the Lannister's fleet to transport a large number of wintering supplies from Ersos and from the free trade city-state, it was in short supply.
Of course, the food has also started to rise in prices, although it is not too obvious yet...
Those are the prodigal businessmen who are hoarding goods, and she has no good idea in a short period of time... because she needs to focus more energy on the northern border and the struggle with the Dragon Mother and the White Walkers! Only when the three parties decide the winner can she free up her hands to take care of civil affairs.
So now, she could only let Junlin and her own territory maintain the status quo for the time being, and dared not do any extra things.
I just don’t know what kind of doomsday scene will be like in the future if the three parties are unable to achieve results after a long time of fighting for hegemony?!
To be continued...
