Chapter 197 In King's Landing
Half a month ago, Daenerys led her huge army on the expedition. They chose the sea route, which was the best way to reduce food loss. Her eyes were firmly fixed on King's Landing, just like Stannis did back then, and finally decided to have a decisive battle in Blackwater Bay.
When Kevan Lannister, commander of the Neck Army in King's Landing, learned the news, he led his troops back to King's Landing without hesitation, just as his brother Tywin Lannister had done before.
However, King's Landing is not destined to be an easy city to defend, especially since its opponent has the help of the dragon, the king of war.
So even if Cersei emptied her family fortune and sold the gold mining rights in the Westerlands for the next fifty years to the Iron Bank, and even with the support of tens of thousands of warriors from the Golden Company of Essos, it would be difficult to change the situation.
Blackwater Bay, due to previous lessons, had already restocked and deployed a large amount of wildfire and other war materials before the war. When Daenerys' fleet entered Blackwater Bay, they immediately smelled the strong smell of wildfire.
The person in charge of guarding King's Landing is Jaime Lannister. He stands on the city wall with a stern look in his eyes and his heart full of determination and courage.
However, in recent days, the city defense patrol team always saw a young child in a black robe following James, who had a broken hand, leading many people to suspect that this was one of James's illegitimate children.
In an open space, Tyrion lowered his hood, revealing a weather-beaten and helpless face.
Seeing that there was no one around, James relaxed his guard and walked up to talk to him:
"Your former queen's army is now anchored outside Blackwater Bay, sending out small boats day and night to test the minefields and open up landing sites. I think the pace of war is about to catch up with us."
"Yes, Brother Jaime, if you have figured it out, I know an escape route that goes directly from the sewers of King's Landing to the outside of the city."
"No, Tyrion. I'd rather leave that kind of tunnel to my dwarf brother. I'm afraid I can't fit into it with my size."
Listening to Jaime's undisguised ridicule, Tyrion remained expressionless and indifferent.
Since being expelled by Daenerys, Tyrion and Podrick boarded a ship and began a drunken and confused journey, and finally arrived at King's Landing.
At this moment, Tyrion seems to have completely lost the goal and meaning of his existence. His coming to King's Landing this time is not so much to walk into a trap as to seek relief. He longs to die at the hands of his loved ones, and the best candidate is his brother Jaime.
Surprisingly, however, James harbored no anger or resentment towards him.
On the contrary, facing his younger brother who committed the crime of murdering his father, James showed extraordinary tolerance and understanding.
Even while guarding King's Landing, Jaime planned to draw on Tyrion's wisdom, hoping that the latter would give him advice. Moreover, Tyrion had also proved his ability in the last defense of King's Landing.
However, Tyrion remained silent several times when faced with Jaime's inquiries and opinions.
So James had to ask:
"Are you still planning to be loyal to this Dragon Queen? My dear brother, as far as I know, you are not the kind of warrior who has foolish loyalty."
Tyrion couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he heard what Jaime said, and the scene he witnessed at Eastwatch not long ago came to his mind. At that time, due to his momentary negligence, what was supposed to be a large-scale offensive and crushing battle eventually turned into a horrific massacre.
Despite his careful planning, Daenerys did not follow his advice. Instead, she personally went to deliver three captive dragons to Lyon the night before the army attacked.
Thinking of this, Tyrion felt helpless and frustrated. He had thought of everything, but he couldn't control the development of the situation.
When he saw the soldiers being burned to ashes by the dragon flames, his heart was filled with pain and despair.
So he came to the cliffs of King's Landing alone, staring quietly into the distance, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, he was tired of the world and even had an urge to escape.
However, Jaime didn't know all this. He only knew that his brother had designed a landing battle for Daenerys at Eastwatch-by-the-Sea, a disastrous landing battle.
Jaime's idea is to replicate Tyrion's actions that day, but switching from offense to defense, which should be easier.
"No, I was just thinking about something sad."
Tyrion shook his head and looked at the sea, his eyes gradually regaining clarity.
"Tell me, from your perspective, how did Lyon defend the small Eastwatch at that time?"
James also walked to the cliff and asked in a deep voice:
"Now, King's Landing has dispersed the 500,000 residents to only 200,000 according to your original idea. The remaining 100,000 soldiers have enough food and fodder to sustain them for half a year."
"As long as we defend the coast of King's Landing and attack from both sides together with Uncle Kevan, Daenerys's army will not be able to reach the shore no matter how large it is!"
When James spoke, he seemed quite confident in his military superiority.
But Tyrion asked a crucial question:
"What if an enemy dragon attacks from the sky?"
However, Tyrion's question made Jaime laugh. He said:
"Giant dragon? My brother, what era is this? Do you still have such unrealistic fantasies?"
James' tone was full of sarcasm and disdain, and he glanced contemptuously at the city fortifications in the distance.
There were rows of towering dragon-slaying crossbows neatly arranged, and each crossbow cart was loaded with giant crossbow arrows flashing with cold light. These powerful weapons seemed to give James a sense of invincibility.
"Hundreds of dragon-slaying crossbows block the sky, and not even a fly can fly over our heads, Tyrion! You should be thinking about how to deal with Daenerys's ordinary soldiers instead of focusing on those dragons that seem powerful but have no practical use." Jaime continued, revealing a self-righteous arrogance in his voice.
Tyrion listened to Jaime's speech in silence, feeling helpless and disappointed. He knew that Jaime's point of view was a bit short-sighted, but he couldn't refute him directly.
However, when Balerion is mentioned next, Tyrion's eyes harden.
"Yes, I admit that most dragons would not be able to survive within the attack range of these dragon-slaying crossbows! But what if it is Balerion who comes?"
Tyrion spoke slowly, and a shocking picture seemed to emerge in front of his eyes: a huge shadow covered the entire battlefield. As the shadow gradually became clearer, two dragon eyes as big as the sun slowly opened.
Balerion, this is a terrifying name. It is one of the most famous and powerful dragons in history. According to legend, its body is so huge that it can cover the sky and block out the sun; its breath can destroy an entire city, and no one can stop it. In the face of such a being, even the most solid city defenses may be vulnerable.
Tyrion knows that the power of a dragon should not be underestimated, especially a legendary creature like Balerion.
They represent endless destruction and fear, and once they appear, they will bring huge changes to the war. Although Jaime is confident in the dragon-slaying crossbow, Tyrion understands that in the face of real threats, any defensive measures may appear fragile and powerless.
