The journey of the film and television world is endless [continued]

Adrian frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you long ago? You can handle all the affairs of the territory. You don't have to bother me with every detail."

Becot silently placed a letter in front of the earl and said softly, "Father, this is a letter I just received. It was sent by Garlon from Qohor. I think you need to read it in person."

"Hmm?" Adrian picked up the letter, looked at it carefully, and then stretched out his fingers and kept tapping the table, as if thinking about something. "It seems that Garlon intends to support the Dragon Queen. What measures do you think we should take next?" Becot looked at his father with a confused face and asked puzzledly: "Father, since Garlon has decided to stand on the side of the Dragon Queen, shouldn't we also give him full support without hesitation?"

Adrian pondered for a moment and replied, "Son, it's not that simple. Although Garlon verbally expressed his willingness to assist the Dragon Queen, he did not explicitly say that he would join her camp. From what I know about Garlon, if he really wants us to express our support, he would definitely express it clearly in the letter. Moreover, considering the complicated relationship between Garlon and the Dragon Queen, at least for now, we don't need to worry too much about being attacked by them. So why not stay calm and wait and see! At the same time, order people to prepare a large amount of food and other necessary supplies. I believe these things will come in handy soon."

Becot nodded. "Father is wise. But... why do we need to stockpile so many supplies?" He frowned, full of doubts.

Adrian looked into the distance, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "War is coming, and no one can predict the future situation. Preparing more supplies will always play a role at a critical moment. Moreover, the Dragon Queen has come from afar and will definitely lack supplies. This is also our way of expressing goodwill."

After saying that, Adrian turned and left, leaving Beckett to ponder his father's words. He looked at his father's departing back, and a feeling of admiration welled up in his heart.

Tidehead, an island located on the west coast of Westeros, is the territory of the Velaryon family. After a hundred years of recuperation, Hulltown and Spicetown have regained their prosperity. However, the once glorious High Tide was burned down during the Dance of the Dragons, and the Velaryon family was forced to move back to the slightly dark and damp Tidehead.

At this moment, Morford Velaryon was wearing a tattered smock and sitting on a driftwood throne. His once handsome face was now covered with burn marks, which was horrible to look at. In the Battle of Blackwater, wildfires devoured his body mercilessly, not only disfiguring his face, but also taking away his left arm. Now, he can only use an iron hook to replace his left hand.

Morford's eyes revealed determination and resoluteness. Despite such a huge blow, he was not defeated. On the contrary, he was more determined to protect his family and territory. After the battle, he stayed on Tidehead Island to recuperate and wait for his body to recover. However, when Stannis resolutely gave up Dragonstone Island and led all his troops to the north, the Varian family, who had always been reluctant to leave their homeland, had to officially announce their separation from his camp.

The distance between Tidehead Island and Dragonstone Island is very close, and it only takes two hours to reach there by boat. Therefore, such a large-scale action on Dragonstone Island could not be hidden from their eyes.

Oren Waters was Morford's illegitimate brother, but he was absolutely loyal to the entire family. Even in such a difficult situation, he still assisted his brother wholeheartedly. At this moment, he seemed a little uneasy and said anxiously: "My Lord, we have confirmed that the flag of those who occupied Dragonstone is the three-headed dragon flag of the Targaryen family!"

Hearing this, Morford Velaryon showed a painful and helpless smile on his face: "Haha~ So what? Does the Velaryon family have any other choice now? The elite forces of our family have long been lost in the battle of Blackwater Bay. The fleet that once made us so proud is only 20% of its former size. Now that Stannis has escaped, we must find a reliable backer as soon as possible. Otherwise, when King's Landing is free, we will be the first to suffer."

A child in armor followed by two guards walked into the hall and said, "Father, there is a messenger from Dragonstone. Do you want to see him?

Morford Velaryon: "Bring them up! Monterey, you stay and listen." The boy was Morford's only son, Monterey Velaryon, who was only ten years old. Due to physical reasons, he let his son follow his brothers to participate in government affairs at an early age to cultivate his ability as a lord.

Soon the guards brought the messenger, a bald man, who was Missandei's brother, Missandei's brother, Missandei. Morford looked at the man in front of him and said coldly, "Are you the messenger sent by Dragonstone?"

Missanlo bowed slightly. "Yes, my Lord is Daenerys Targaryen. Khaleesi of the Great Grasslands, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm, Liberator of Slaver's Bay, Breaker of Chains... Queen of the Seven Kingdoms! She has heard that the Velaryons have always been the Targaryens' most loyal allies, and she hopes that you will return to her cause."

Morford snorted coldly, his voice carrying a hint of disdain and anger: "We, the Velaryon family, are not pawns that can be manipulated by others! We once had a glorious history and have experienced countless battles. We will never easily succumb to the will of others!"

Missanlo looked at him calmly, his eyes firm and confident. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty is a great leader, and she is leading an extremely powerful army. This army is unstoppable, and any enemy who tries to block their advance will be ruthlessly crushed and turned into dust. Our fleet is so large that no one can match it. Moreover, Her Majesty knows the difficulties you are facing now, and she is willing to give you the protection of the Velaryon family. As long as you are willing to submit, she will guarantee your safety and grant you honor and status. This is a rare opportunity and your only way out."

Morford fell into deep thought. He knew that the current situation was very difficult for the Velaryon family. They were already in a desperate situation and did not have many options. He thought secretly and weighed the pros and cons.

At this time, Monterey leaned over to his ear and said, "Father, we should really consider his proposal seriously. After all, Her Majesty the Queen's power and influence are unmatched. If we can get her protection, perhaps we can avoid more losses."

Morford turned to look at his son, feeling helpless. He knew that the Velaryon family had no choice at this moment, but as the head of the family, he had to make the wisest decision. Finally, he nodded and said in a heavy tone: "Okay, in this case, our Velaryon family is willing to surrender. However, due to my poor health, I cannot meet Her Majesty the Queen in person. I will send my son, the heir of Tidehead Island, and my brother Monterey to meet Her Majesty the Queen and express our sincerity and determination to her. I hope they can live up to their mission and strive for a better future for our family." After saying these words, Morford felt extremely heavy, as if he was carrying the fate of the entire family. But he knew that this was the most feasible way at the moment and a necessary measure to protect the interests of the family.

Missanlo: "This is a wise choice, Lord Velaryon. Her Majesty will be pleased with this news."

The surrender of the Velaryon family gave Daenerys even more strength. She prepared her troops on Dragonstone, actively planning the next move, ready to lead her troops to King's Landing at any time.

Truth cannot be hidden, and soon, the King's Landing Council learned of this shocking news. Mad King Aerys II's daughter, Daenerys Targaryen, known as the Mother of Dragons, has returned! She has tens of thousands of troops under her command, and is now stationed on Dragonstone, sharpening her swords against King's Landing. Then, Morford, as a representative of the Velaryon family, openly declared his allegiance to the Dragon Queen.

This news was like a heavy bomb, instantly detonating the court of King's Landing. The Prime Minister Kevan was extremely anxious and quickly summoned the ministers to discuss countermeasures. However, since Cersei suffered a great humiliation and was paraded naked through the streets, her reputation has plummeted and she hardly leaves her house. King Tommen is so focused on Margaery that he is indifferent to foreign affairs. As a result, the decision-making level of the kingdom is in chaos and at a loss.

At the same time, the church's actions became more and more reckless. With the strong backing of the armed forces of the church, their targets were no longer limited to the merchant class, but gradually turned their attention to the nobles. It is well known that most nobles lead extremely extravagant and indulgent private lives. What's worse is that those fanatical believers do not need any solid evidence to convict people.

Prime Minister Kevan tried his best to maintain order in the city, but the power of the church continued to grow like a snowball, and it was difficult to stop its development with simple means alone. Many nobles were arrested or put on trial, and everyone in King's Landing was in danger. However, King Tommen still hid in his room, unaware of the chaos outside.

At this time, all the forces on the continent of West Essos were also closely watching the changes in the situation in Westeros. It was in this tense atmosphere that Liu Yuan arrived in Pentos.

When faced with the questioning of Governor Pentos, he did not seem to mind. He directly cursed: "Who do you think you are? How dare you question my actions? Go back and tell your master that if he has any opinions about me, he can ask him to come to me in person and raise them!"

The reason why he was so angry was that he had just received a letter from King's Landing. The content of the letter shocked him - his sister Lyanna Celtigar was actually captured by those hateful guys in the church!!!

This is simply lawlessness! The damned church guys dared to touch his sister. Are they really tired of living? In a rage, he didn't even look at the envoy of Pentos, and directly sent the trembling governor envoy away. Then, he immediately issued an order, requiring Thorn City to enter the first level of combat readiness. All members of the Thorn Corps must cancel their vacations and be on standby at any time; at the same time, 5,000 archers were drawn from the plunderer corps and immediately boarded the ship to prepare for departure.

As for the tens of thousands of Dothraki cavalry, they were naturally handed over to other personnel to settle. After all, after more than a decade of development and construction, the Sun-Moon Legion already had a mature and complete official system, so things like settling the army were not a problem at all for them.

Liu Yuan sat in the tent, looking at the map on the table with a gloomy face, anger flashing in his eyes.

Qiao La looked worried and advised earnestly: "Lord Garon, please think twice! If you return with your troops in such a menacing manner, I'm afraid there will be a fierce conflict with the church!"

"So what about the Church of the Seven Gods? Since they dared to kidnap my sister, they should be prepared to bear my wrath! I will make them pay a heavy price for this action!" He gritted his teeth, with flames of anger flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, a general strode into the tent, knelt on one knee, and respectfully reported to Liu Yuan: "Sir, the troops are ready."

Liu Yuan stood up suddenly, his tall and straight figure exuding awe-inspiring majesty. "Very good, set off immediately!" His voice was sonorous and powerful, revealing incomparable firmness and courage.

Before night fell, Liu Yuan led 5,000 elite archers to board the warship and set sail. Their goal was clear - the continent of Westeros, where his imprisoned sister Lyanna Celtigar was waiting to be rescued. The wind whistled past, blowing the fluttering flags, and the warriors were in high spirits. They were all ready to fight and vowed to fight for their beloved lord.

In the Blue Crab Castle, Becot raised his hand and overturned the table. He said angrily: "Damn the Church of the Seven! Who gave them the courage? Father, I can't swallow this. Let me lead the troops to rescue Lyanna."

Marquis Adrian's eyes were filled with undisguised anger. "It seems that we have been dormant for too long, and the people of King's Landing have forgotten our Celtigar family. Beckett, you must gather the army immediately. I will give you 3,000 men to go to Duskendale. Ask Renfrey Lake, his wife was captured by the church, can he just watch? And pass on my order to expel all clergy of the Church of the Seven from the territory starting today."
