Chapter 441 Siege of King's Landing
At the end of the Battle of Riverrun, Viserys did not continue to attack the Westlands and the Valley as originally planned, but instead marched straight to King's Landing.
In the distant capital of the Seven Kingdoms, people in King's Landing are panicking at the moment, the city gates are closed, the soldiers on the city wall have even turned several times, the streets and alleys are full of golden robes patrolling, and the necessary supplies for civilian use are under control and in short supply , the black market is rampant, and many local gangsters are more arrogant than ever.
Why did King's Landing become this highly tense look?
There is no other reason. Now the golden group holding the banner of "fire dragon above, gold below" has surrounded King's Landing.
And outside the city are not only the soldiers of the Golden Corps, but also the prestigious army of the Unsullied.
The navy of House Targaryen also blocked the entire Blackwater Bay under the command of Earl Geoffrey Bracken. The densely packed warships of different sizes covered the entire sea, and King's Landing was surrounded by water.
A week ago, Reness Targaryen, the eldest princess of the new dynasty, received the battle report from the Twins on Dragonstone Island. The National Alliance Army is leading the Dothraki south towards Riverrun.
After receiving this information, Renice decided to cooperate with her 'brother' to take the initiative. According to the original plan, she fought in both directions from the south to the north. She personally led the 'Southern Army' to attack the enemy's base camp, King's Landing.
This is the biggest ordeal for Renice.
Because King's Landing is the largest and most prosperous city in the Seven Kingdoms, it has a very terrifying population size in this era, not to mention the influx of people from the North and Hejian.
I don't know how much resources I need to eat and drink every day. If it is in a state of war, it will easily turn into tens of thousands of soldiers.
Moreover, King's Landing also has a towering city wall, which is covered with terrifying war weapons such as trebuchets, giant crossbows and so on.
These were prepared to fight the White Walkers. The Seven Kingdoms launched their own productivity, united all the craftsmen, and worked overtime to make them.
Now that it has not arrived and shipped to the front lines, the war between humans and the White Walkers is over, and the next is the war between humans and humans.
Reness Targaryen, the eldest princess of the new dynasty, personally led a large army to surround King's Landing from sea, land and air, and the city of King's Landing was naturally very tense.
The former Prime Minister Jon Arryn is dead, and Prince Joffrey Baratheon is still young, so Queen Regent Cersei Lannister completely controls the government.
They didn't know yet that King Robert had been defeated again and taken alive.
And in a study in the Maegor House of the Red Keep, Alex Oakheart, one of the Kingsguards that Robert stayed in King's Landing, hurried in.
"Your Majesty the Queen."
The Kingsguard in white armor pushed open the door and walked in, then spoke in a hurried voice.
However, he came too fast and didn't knock on the door. He accidentally saw something he shouldn't have seen. Alex Oakheart's cheek was slightly embarrassed, he took a step back and lowered his head.
"Sir James."
In Meigelou's study, Her Majesty the Queen and her younger brother, the King's Guard, were alone in a room. It seemed that their movements were not very elegant and easy-going.
The blond knight's expression was not very good-looking, and he seemed to be slightly annoyed by his sworn brother's reckless actions, but he didn't say much.
The beautiful queen, on the other hand, didn't care about her bare breasts, she calmly tied her clothes, sat up from the table, stepped on the ground with her bare feet, raised her delicate chin slightly and asked.
"Sir Alex, what happened?"
Since the Usurper's War, King Robert has been troubled by the large number of Kingsguard places to be filled.
And Queen Cersei Lannister promoted five people in one go based on a certain political agreement, so the Kingsguard of this generation was regarded by many as the worst generation of the Kingsguard, such as Marin Tran, etc. People, they were not qualified to put on white robes.
Alex Oakheart was also one of the Kingsguard promoted by Queen Cersei, so he turned a blind eye to what just happened.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
And the white-robed knight opened the mouth respectfully according to the hilt of the sword when he heard the queen's words.
"Just now, Lord Genos Sterling, Commander-in-Chief of the Capital Guards, came to the news that they suspected to have caught a spy from the Targaryen family at Linhe Gate. He smuggled in from Fisherman's Square."
"It seems. It seems"
Speaking of which, Alex Oakheart hesitated, looked at the two of them, and when Jaime Lannister heard him stumbling so much, he frowned slightly and said directly.
"Looks like. What? Alex, be honest."
The white-robed knight glanced at James and then at the queen, then gritted his teeth before speaking.
"It appears to be your dead brother, Lord Tyrion Lannister."
"what?"
Hearing the words of Brother Oath, the blond knight froze for a moment, then suddenly stood up from the chair.
His pair of eyes stared at each other with piercing eyes, then strode forward and looked into each other's eyes, and asked again seriously.
"Alex, what did you say?"
"Is it Tyrion?"
Then he got a positive nod from the other party, James couldn't bear it any longer, and he pushed the other party away.
Tread
He didn't even wear armor, he just wore casual clothes, and walked straight to the door in a hurry. At the same time, he also greeted the attendants in the Red Fort to prepare horses. He personally went to the prison of Jinpao to visit his younger brother.
The news of Tyrion's death had spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms a long time ago, and Jaime received the news for a long time.
He even dug out a tomb for his brother with his sword in the godswood of the Red Fort to commemorate Tyrion.
But I didn't expect to hear the news that Tyrion was still alive when the army was under siege. This was the only luck among all misfortunes.
The relationship between James and Tyrion brothers is very good, but when James arrived in the dungeon, he found that instead of being imprisoned, Tyrion was living a comfortable life.
Genos Sterling, the commander-in-chief of the capital garrison, was escorting him. Tyrion swayed his red wine glass with his legs crossed.
bang——
The door was violently pushed open by the blond knight, and James saw Tyrion sitting on the chair at a glance.
And Tyrion also saw him, and then James strode over, and then the two brothers hugged tightly.
"Tyrion."
"As long as you're still alive."
"Of course, James, I live better than anyone else."
Immediately after the touching scene of the brothers meeting, James asked what happened to Tyrion.
Why does my father say he is dead?
And why did a 'dead man' suddenly escape from death?
And what is Tyrion's identity now, why does Alex say that he has caught a Targaryen spy?
James asked a lot of questions in one breath, and Tyrion sat back in his seat, took a sip of wine, waved his hand, and then began to talk.
