Kapitel 440: Chapter 440: Besieging King's Landing

After the Battle of Riverrun, Viserys did not continue his original plan to attack the Westerlands and the Vale, but instead led his army straight to King's Landing.

Meanwhile, in the distant capital of the Seven Kingdoms, King's Landing was in a state of panic. The city gates were tightly shut, the number of soldiers on the city walls had multiplied, and the streets were patrolled by gold cloaks. Essential civilian supplies were controlled and scarce, the black market was rampant, and many thugs were more arrogant than ever.

Why had King's Landing become so tense?

The reason was simple. The Golden Company, now flying the banner of 'Fire and Blood, Gold Below', had surrounded King's Landing.

Not only were there soldiers from the Golden Company outside the city, but also the formidable Unsullied army.

The Targaryen navy, under the command of Lord Joffrey Bracken, had blocked the entire Blackwater Bay. A myriad of warships of all sizes covered the sea, making King's Landing impenetrable.

A week ago, Princess Rhaenys Targaryen of the new dynasty received a battle report from Dragonstone Island. The human alliance had repelled the White Walkers, then immediately broke into infighting. Viserys defeated the Seven Kingdoms alliance and was leading the Dothraki south towards Riverrun.

Upon receiving this intelligence, Rhaenys decisively decided to take the initiative to strike in cooperation with her 'brother'. According to the original plan, they would fight in two directions, north and south. She personally led the 'Southern Army' to attack the enemy's main base, King's Landing.

This was a major test for Rhaenys.

Because King's Landing, as the largest and most prosperous city in the Seven Kingdoms, has a terrifying population in this era. Moreover, countless refugees from the North and the Riverlands have flooded in.

Every day, the consumption of food and other resources is enormous. If in a state of war, it can easily be transformed into tens of thousands of soldiers.

Moreover, King's Landing has towering city walls, on which are terrifying war weapons such as trebuchets and giant crossbows.

These were all prepared to fight against the White Walkers. The Seven Kingdoms mobilized their own productivity, united all craftsmen, and worked overtime to produce them.

Now, they haven't had time to be transported to the front line, and the war between humans and White Walkers has ended. Next is the war between humans and humans.

Princess Rhaenys Targaryen of the new dynasty personally led the army to surround King's Landing from the sea, land, and air. Naturally, King's Landing was in a state of high tension.

The Hand of the King, Jon Arryn, is dead, and Prince Joffrey Baratheon is still young. Therefore, Queen Regent Cersei Lannister has full control of the government.

They still don't know that King Robert has been defeated again and captured alive.

In a study room in the Tower of the Hand in the Red Keep, one of the Kingsguard left in King's Landing by Robert, Ser Arys Oakheart, hurried in.

"Your Grace, the Queen."

The Kingsguard in white armor entered the room and spoke urgently.

However, he came too quickly and didn't knock on the door, accidentally seeing something he shouldn't have seen. Arys Oakheart's cheeks were slightly embarrassed, and he stepped back and lowered his head.

"Ser Jaime."

In the study room of the Tower of the Hand, the queen and her brother, who serves as a Kingsguard, were alone in a room, and their actions did not seem very gentle and harmonious.

The golden knight's face didn't look very good, as if he was slightly annoyed at his sworn brother's reckless actions, but he didn't say much.

The beautiful queen, however, didn't care about her exposed chest, calmly tied her robe, sat up from the table, then barefoot on the floor, slightly raised her delicate chin and asked.

"Ser Arys, what happened?"

Since the Usurper's War, there were many vacancies in the Kingsguard that needed to be filled, and King Robert found this matter troublesome.

Queen Cersei Lannister, based on making some political agreements, promoted five people at once. Therefore, this generation of Kingsguard is considered by many to be the worst in history, such as Meryn Trant, who originally did not qualify to wear the white cloak.

Arys Oakheart was also one of the Kingsguard promoted by Queen Cersei, so he turned a blind eye to what just happened.

"Yes, Your Grace."

The white-cloaked knight heard the queen's words, touched the hilt of his sword, and spoke respectfully.

"Just now, Commander Janos Slynt of the City Watch sent a message. They seem to have caught a suspected Targaryen spy at the River Gate. He smuggled in from Fishmonger's Square..."

"Seems... seems..."

When he got here, Arys Oakheart seemed to hesitate, looked at the two of them, and Jaime Lannister, hearing him stammering, frowned slightly and spoke directly.

"Seems... what? Arys, speak up."

The white-cloaked knight looked at Jaime and then at the queen, then gritted his teeth and spoke.

"It seems to be your deceased brother, Tyrion Lannister."

"What?"

Hearing his sworn brother's words, the golden knight was slightly stunned, then suddenly stood up from his chair.

His eyes were sharp as he looked at the other party, then he strode forward, looked into the other's eyes, and asked seriously again.

"Arys, what did you say?"

"Is... Tyrion?"

After receiving a positive nod from the other party, Jaime couldn't hold back anymore. He pushed the other party away.

Thump...

Even without wearing armor, just in casual clothes, he hurriedly walked towards the door, while also calling for the squires in the Red Keep to prepare horses. He wanted to go to the dungeon of the gold cloaks to see his brother.

The news of Tyrion's death had spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms a long time ago. Jaime was distressed for a long time when he received this news.

He even personally dug a tomb for his brother in the godswood of the Red Keep with his sword to commemorate Tyrion.

But he didn't expect to suddenly hear that Tyrion was still alive in this situation of being besieged by a large army. This was the only bit of luck in all the misfortune.

Jaime and Tyrion had a very good relationship as brothers. However, when Jaime arrived at the dungeon, he found that Tyrion was not only not imprisoned, but was living comfortably.

Commander Janos Slynt of the City Watch was accompanying him. Tyrion was sitting with his legs crossed, shaking a glass of red wine in his hand. It seemed that he had expected his brother to come and was waiting quietly here.

Bang——

The door was rudely pushed open by the golden knight. Jaime saw Tyrion sitting on the chair at a glance.

And Tyrion saw him too. Then Jaime strode over, and the two brothers hugged tightly.

"Tyrion."

"I'm glad you're still alive."

"Of course, Jaime, I'm doing better than anyone."

After the touching scene of the brothers meeting, Jaime then asked Tyrion what had happened.

Why did their father say he was dead?

And why did a 'dead man' suddenly escape from death?

And what is Tyrion's identity now? Why did Arys say that a Targaryen spy was caught?

Jaime asked many questions in one breath, and Tyrion sat back in his seat, took a sip of wine, waved his hand, and then began to tell his story.
