Chapter 263 The Glory of the Sea God Will Shine on Every Piece of Land on the Continent
June, 303 AC.
Since the outbreak of the War of the Five Kings, Westeros has experienced years of chaos. The new order originally established by the Lannister family has been disintegrated, and King's Landing has been besieged again.
In fact, this is not the first or second time that King's Landing has been besieged. This time, there are even 20,000 elite soldiers from the West and thousands of war sons from the religious order in King's Landing.
But the situation that Jun Lin faced this time was unprecedentedly difficult.
Because at this time, there were not only 10,000 troops from the North surrounding King's Landing, but also 20,000 troops from the Vale and 10,000 troops from Dorne, as well as a 5,000-strong Iron Fleet that blockaded Blackwater Bay.
In addition, the Reach, which had been defeated by the Westerland army, also sent 60,000 troops to besiege King's Landing.
In other words, there were a total of 100,000 troops and 5,000 naval forces outside King's Landing at this time.
A large table has been set up outside King's Landing. Cersei, Jaime and Qyburn are now sitting on the side close to the gate of King's Landing.
The Iron Throne took the initiative to propose a temporary reconciliation to jointly deal with the crisis from the North, and Cersei, Jaime and Qyburn attended the negotiations on behalf of the Iron Throne.
"Didn't he come with you?" Cersei said impatiently.
"The time has not come yet. Why are you in such a hurry? Your Majesty can come whenever he wants." Tormund looked at Cersei with displeasure. If Kasar hadn't stopped him, he would have chopped off the head of this charming woman with his axe.
"There is only one King in the Seven Kingdoms, and that is Tommen Baratheon." Cersei looked at Tormund with disdain. Tormund's strange accent was obviously that of a wildling from outside the Wall.
"That's right. There is only one king in the seven kingdoms, because our Majesty is the emperor. Emperor, do you know what emperor means? Kill all the kings, and the remaining one will be the emperor!
As for that Tommen Baratheon you mentioned, I will chop off his head with my own hands and present it to His Majesty after the battle. And you, you son of a bitch, I will strip you naked."
Before Tormund could finish his words, Jaime suddenly drew out his sword and said with a warning:
"Shut your dog mouth, savage, or I will cut off your tongue with my own hands, and then put your head on the point of a spear and hang it on the city gate for public display!"
"Hahahaha, hahahahahaha, what did you say, you damn cripple, do you know what you are talking about?
I heard you are siblings?
Oh my god, can you tell me what my sister tastes like? Is it better than a non-blood-related woman? Or does it make you feel more excited and make this bitch tighter?
During the time that Tormund became a general, his ability to talk nonsense increased like a dragon.
Tormund's words not only made Cersei's face turn pale, but also made Jaime almost lose his mind. However, Tormund still looked at Jaime without fear.
"Enough, we are here to negotiate, not to quarrel or fight. Calm down." Tyrion shouted.
Although Tyrion hates Cersei, he doesn't want to see anything happen to Jaime because he knows very well that Tormund will chop people without considering the consequences.
"Shut up, dwarf. I have been annoyed with you for a long time. If it weren't for His Majesty's consideration for Princess Myrcella, you would have been roasted by dragon flames. I think you don't understand your own status, right?"
As one of the Northern Iron Triangle, Segun didn't give Tyrion any face at all. They were the ones who looked down on Tyrion the most.
The Iron Triangle of the North refers to Tormund, Saigon, and Kasar. They are the three generals in the north of the North and represent the peak of power reached by the original wildling faction outside the Wall.
Although these three people are still under the control of the cabinet and parliament, one thing is beyond doubt, that is, the army is in their hands.
Tyrion looked unhappy after being scolded by Segun. When he was about to retort, a dragon roar came from the sky. Everyone immediately quieted down and looked up.
Korakshuu descended from the sky, and the hurricane created by his broad wings made it impossible for everyone to open their eyes.
After Jack got off the dragon's back, Korakshuu did not return to the sky, but followed Jack closely, and finally stopped next to the negotiation table.
Looking at the approaching behemoth, Cersei and Jaime were very nervous, but Qyburn was secretly looking at Caraxhur with curiosity.
In contrast to the reaction of the Iron Throne, the North led by Tormund's iron triangle, Dorne led by Earl Yronwood, and the Vale led by Royce, as supporters of Jack Poseidon, looked at the Iron Throne with pride.
"You came so early?" Jack said as he sat in the middle seat.
In fact, Jack arrived when Tormund was angrily criticizing the Iron Throne. Relying on Korakshu's facial features, he knew very well what was happening below, so he deliberately arrived a little later.
The moment Cersei saw Jack, she was stunned for a moment, and the memories of the Targaryen family that had disappeared from her mind reappeared.
Jack is definitely a Targaryen with very pure blood, especially the color of his hair and pupils, which are exactly the same as those of the Targaryen family.
"Are you Jack Targaryen?" Cersei demanded.
"Jack Targaryen? Who is that? I don't know him. My name is Jack Poseidon." Jack looked around and then said seriously.
"Silver hair, purple eyes, isn't this the appearance of a Targaryen? Do you think I'm a fool?" Cersei's face darkened. She felt that Jack was humiliating her.
"Ahem." Qyburn reminded Cersei with a light cough.
He didn't understand why Cersei was so stupid. The Targaryen family had ruled the Seven Kingdoms for three hundred years. In most people's minds, the Targaryen family was the legitimate family of the Seven Kingdoms.
Jack Poseidon has changed his last name to Poseidon, which is equivalent to giving up the blessing of Targaryen blood to a certain extent. However, Cersei is still emphasizing the other party's bloodline, which is simply stupid.
However, Cersei didn't understand what Qyburn meant at all and continued to mutter, completely unaware of the strange looks on the faces of the people around her.
Fortunately, no one from the Riverlands came to participate. If Olenna had come, she would definitely take this opportunity to mock Cersei.
"Okay, I'm not here to discuss my last name with you. I'm only giving you two choices: surrender or die.
This is not a negotiation, but a notification. I know your relationship with Jaime. As long as you surrender, for Myrcella's sake, I will allow you to return to the West to live."
Jack had no patience to listen to Cersei's nagging, nor did he have the patience to listen to the conditions for temporary reconciliation proposed by Qyburn.
Hearing Myrcella's name again, Jaime couldn't help but feel angry. He knew that Myrcella was his daughter, innocent and beautiful, but she was abducted and forcibly possessed by Jack. Even Dorne, which was originally a party to the marriage, became an ally of Jack Poseidon.
But James still held back his anger and said:
"There are 20,000 elite soldiers from the Western Territory in the city, and another 30,000 are somewhere in the king's territory. If you dare to attack the city, my army will be able to defeat you from both inside and outside."
Jaime wanted to use the westerly army to persuade Jack to retreat. In fact, Jaime wanted to take Cersei and Tommen to the westerly. The Iron Throne was not important in Jaime's eyes.
But unfortunately, Cersei didn't think so. Cersei told Jaime that Jack Poseidon would definitely kill Tommen Baratheon. Jaime was finally persuaded by Cersei and decided to fight to the death.
But whether Cersei was pursuing the power in her hands or was really thinking about Tommen, Jaime didn't know, didn't want to, or didn't dare to know.
"I think you have been confused by this bitch. Open your dog eyes and see what that is." Tormund pointed at Korakhu standing beside him.
"Hey! Tormund, how can you talk like that? It makes us look so impolite. Shut up." Jack symbolically scolded Tormund.
After all, it's okay if you're not there, but if you're there and still scold the other person, although it feels good, it will make you appear very impolite.
Cersei smiled coldly, "There are now 800,000 civilians in King's Landing. If you dare to let the dragons attack the city, they will hate you and will not recognize your rule!"
When saying this, Cersei looked arrogant, as if she had already grasped Jack's life.
In Cersei's opinion, if Jack uses the dragon, it will inevitably injure a large number of civilians by mistake. Judging from Jack's attitude towards civilians in the North, he will never do that.
It would be even better if Jack didn't use the dragon. She could rely on the tall walls of King's Landing to block Jack's attack.
In this situation, Jack's best choice is to cooperate with her to deal with the White Walkers. As long as Jack cooperates with her, he will fall into her trap.
"Pfft, hahahaha, sorry, don't look at me with such surprise and anger, it's really because what you said is too funny."
Jack couldn't help laughing out loud. He really didn't expect that the other party had the confidence to negotiate with him because of the 800,000 civilians they held hostage.
However, Tyrion spoke again at this time. He said to Cersei angrily:
"You actually bet the lives of 800,000 people? That's a full 800,000 people, not eight, not eighty or eight hundred!
Fighting against the White Walkers is everyone's responsibility. We can unite to fight against the Night King, but you can't use the lives of 800,000 people as a gamble or a means of threat!"
Jack looked at Tyrion, who was full of righteousness, with a half-smile. At this moment, Tyrion's actions, tone and expression all looked like a hero who always cared about everyone.
But what exactly Tyrion is thinking in his heart, probably only he himself knows.
Tyrion's scalp tingled when he saw Jack's half-smile stare, but fortunately Jack quickly retracted his gaze.
Jack looked at Cersei solemnly, "So you think you can stop me from taking action by sacrificing the lives of 800,000 people in the city?"
"Is it because of my preferential treatment of the civilians in the North that you have a false impression? It seems that you don't know much about me."
As he spoke, Jack looked at the civilians who were being controlled on the walls of King's Landing, and then waved his hand gently.
Korakxiu took action immediately, flying directly over the city wall and spewing out a breath of dragon fire. The city wall, guards, and the tied-up civilians were all turned into ruins by the dragon fire.
Cersei watched as Caraxchus destroyed the walls of King's Landing in just a moment. She turned pale and fear instantly enveloped her. Even Jaime turned pale.
At this moment, she felt like a clown.
"Why do you think you can use civilians to threaten me? I am kind to the civilians in the North because the North already belongs to the Empire.
As for the civilians of other forces, they are nothing more than resources to me, and they are renewable resources with strong resilience. "
"There are 800,000 civilians in the city. If you let the dragon slaughter them, or lead the troops to charge in, you will not be able to sit firmly on the Iron Throne!"
Cersei still wanted to struggle at this time, still trying to use the lives of 800,000 people to stop Jack.
Tyrion said to Jack with sincerity and concern:
"Your Majesty, eight hundred thousand is not a small number. Mad King Aerys was overthrown because of his wanton killing of innocent people.
If you attack King's Landing by force, it will only make the 800,000 people in King's Landing resent you, and your future rule will be unstable.
In this case, why don't we unite to deal with the army of the dead first, and then have a decisive battle after we have dealt with the White Walkers. This will greatly reduce casualties, and the people in King's Landing will thank you in the future."
Jack is too lazy to pay attention to Tyrion and decides to deprive him of all his power after Tyrion has played the villain in the next reform.
Now it seems that this guy has a lot of little plans in his mind, no wonder he made so many stupid moves in the later period.
On the other side, after destroying the city wall, Korakhu did not continue to destroy it, but returned to Jack obediently.
"Even if these 800,000 people resent me, I don't care. There won't be any turmoil or crisis in my rule. Do you know why?"
"Why? Just relying on the dragon?" Tyrion asked subconsciously.
"Hiss—" A thunderous roar suddenly resounded through the Blackwater River, as if a god had descended to the earth!
Jack crossed his hands and laughed softly,
"Dragons have never been the foundation of my rule. The glory of the sea god will shine on every piece of land on the continent!"
