These two, one is the leader of the Roundheads, the other is the leader of the Free Folk. Both are die-hard supporters of Daenerys, and they hold high positions in the army. Each of them commands 10,000 warriors to fight in this war. In addition to 20,000 infantry, the main force is 2,000 heavy cavalry directly under Barristan; in addition, there are 3,000 auxiliary troops. Liu Yuan's purpose is very clear. He hopes that experienced veterans like Barristan can lead these recruits to be fully trained and tempered in fierce battles.

What could Barristan do in this situation? He could only obey orders. They were tasked with an important mission, which was to capture all the small city-states belonging to Yunkai along the way and eventually conquer Yunkai City.

On the vast sea, Admiral Grolai led a detachment of 130 ships and marched side by side with the expeditionary force. The existence of this fleet was to ensure the safety of the expeditionary force's flank and to carry some military supplies. Grolai was from Pentos and was a senior seaman. He was employed by Illyrio as the captain of the merchant ship Thaydurion. When Viserys started the rebellion, he was ordered to bring Daenerys back. However, in Qarth, he was deeply attracted by Daenerys' charm and followed her willingly.

At this moment, Grolai stood on the deck of the ship, looking at the inland mountains, praying silently in his heart: "May the gods in heaven bless you, and I hope Her Majesty the Queen can return safely." His eyes were firm and full of worry, as if he had foreseen the many difficulties and challenges that might lie ahead, but he still firmly believed that Daenerys would be able to overcome everything and successfully complete this expedition.

In King's Landing, Jaime Lannister rode his horse slowly towards the Lion's Gate. His eyes were filled with endless fatigue and worry, as if the weight of the whole world was pressing on his broad shoulders. Behind him, there was a long procession, and in the center of the procession was a huge and solemn golden carriage.

The people in this city, whether they were commoners or dignitaries, all cast curious and strange eyes on Jaime. They knew the purpose of the Kingsguard Captain's visit - to escort the body of former Prime Minister Tywin Lannister back to his family's base, Casterly Rock. Regarding Tywin's death, the Red Castle officially claimed that it was due to a sudden illness, but the thrilling assassination that happened in the Red Castle that day had already spread throughout the streets and alleys, becoming a topic of great interest to everyone.

When Lord Tywin's body was found, Cersei immediately ordered a lavish state funeral for him. Cersei also sent the Kettleblack brothers to take Shae's body away, and sternly warned them: "Shut your mouths! Anyone who dares to mention that a prostitute died here, I will have his tongue pulled out!" Then, she spread the news to the outside world, saying that Tywin suddenly fell ill at night and died.

After that, the body of Lord Tywin was placed in the solemn and sacred Great Sept of Baelor for seven days. During this long period of time, Jaime silently guarded the coffin most of the time, and his figure looked lonely and resolute. After several days of rest, Tywin's body exuded an unbearable corpse odor, and the stench discouraged many people who came to mourn and did not dare to approach. What's even more strange is that the muscle atrophy after death caused the corners of Lord Tywin's mouth to rise slightly, as if he left a mysterious smile at the moment of death.

Today, Jaime led a group of westerly lords and knights to escort Tywin's body back home. He walked silently through the streets, his thoughts surging like a tide. The first thing that came to his mind was his son who had just died, and his brother Tyrion, who broke with the family and fled to the other side of the narrow sea. Jaime couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that he might never see them again in this life.

Then, his father's death hit him hard like a hammer. Recalling the thrilling experience that night, he couldn't even determine the gender of the assassin, so how could he take revenge? The complicated emotional entanglement between himself and Cersei made him feel deeply powerless and helpless.

On top of the towering, crystal-clear crystal tower of the Great Sept of Baelor, Margaret quietly leaned against the window, following the gradually receding team with her eyes, and whispered softly: "Grandmother, was all this also carefully planned by you?"

Olenna rolled her eyes slightly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "What are you thinking about? Now that we are closely connected with the Lannister family, how could I be so stupid as to destroy my own pillar with my own hands! Alas..."

Margaery nodded thoughtfully. "In that case, this ending may be quite satisfactory. From now on, King's Landing will be the stage for our Tyrell family to demonstrate their strength."

Olenna patted her hands gently and said earnestly, "It will depend on how you display your talents. I plan to return to Highgarden in a few days. Your foolish father and the incompetent Loras cannot be relied upon at all. You will need to handle all matters yourself. Fortunately, Willas and Garlan are quite promising, otherwise the future of the Tyrell family would be uncertain."

Margaery smiled brightly: "Tommen can't live without me anymore. As for the Queen Mother... hehehe"

Olenna: "Child, grandma gives you a piece of advice. Never underestimate your opponent! It's not because they are so strong, but because you never know what stupid things they will do to catch you off guard."

In the Hall of Lights, Cersei was stopped by Lancel, who was dressed in linen. Lancel said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, please accept my condolences! Lord Tywin has been bathed in the glory of the Seven Gods, and his soul will find eternal peace."

Cersei looked him up and down and said, "Cousin Lancel, you have changed a lot. I didn't know you were so obsessed with religion. Is this some kind of asceticism?"

Lancel: "When I was at my lowest point in life, I met a respectable guide. He made me understand what I should really pursue. For the rest of my life, I will serve the Lord wholeheartedly. You can call us sparrows..."

Cersei: "Well, what can I do for you?"

Lancel: "You can try to forgive me. We were blinded by desire before. Now my heart is immersed in the glory of the Seven Gods. In the days to come, I will bless you and pray for Lord Tywin."

Cersei laughed disdainfully: "Haha, Tywin Lannister's soul actually needs your help to rest in peace. When he was alive, you sparrows didn't even dare to set foot in King's Landing."

Lancel: "Your Majesty, I think you can try to understand us. Royal power and faith are the greatest pillars of this world. Sorry to bother you, goodbye!"
