Chapter 423

And I don't know how many people really listened to Tywin's explanation, at least the missing messengers couldn't stand up and prove it to him.

But with a sparse applause, Tywin still squeezed out the captain of the Kingsguard, who had no political influence, through his own wrist, and he temporarily became the commander of the coalition army.

It also sounds plausible that the king's father-in-law replaces the wounded and comatose king as the commander-in-chief of the army.

No matter how loyal they are, they are still outsiders.

Therefore, Tywin led the rear formation and the new reinforcements from the west, and easily relieved Barristan Selmi from his post.

The other party only became the commander-in-chief for less than an hour, and then he became a senior bodyguard again.

Under the command of Duke Tywin, the coalition returned to the Twins to recuperate, and then the Seven Kingdoms cavalry who returned from the front brought another good news.

This time the White Walkers retreated very thoroughly, and it seems that they won't make a comeback for a while.

The bachelors who accompanied the army also noticed the change in temperature, and predicted that the winter was over, and a new round of spring had arrived.

The White Walkers receded like the mountain that was pressing on everyone's hearts collapsed, the crisis of doomsday disappeared, the haze above their heads dissipated, and everyone felt that their breathing became smoother.

There was even a proposal to hold a grand gala dinner and tournament at the Twins to celebrate this moment of victory.

After all, it has been this way for so many years. His Majesty the King is also very happy, spending money like dirt, and the vassals below are willing to cater to him.

If His Majesty the King fell into a coma without being shot by an arrow, he might indeed invite the King and the Dothraki to hold a celebration feast and a tournament to commemorate the sincere feelings of both sides fighting side by side.

After the two parties had a happy celebration, whether it was arguing with each other or sitting down for peace talks.

But defeating the White Walkers must be a pleasure worth having a few drinks.

If King Robert hadn't fallen into a coma, with his temperament it really could have happened.

But it is a pity that there is no if in this world, and Robert is still in a coma lying on the hospital bed.

As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Tywin has meticulous green eyes. His style of commanding soldiers is forbidden, and he hates drinking and having fun in the army.

So he rebuked the idiot who came up with the idea, and told him in a stern tone that defeating the White Walkers did not mean complete victory, because they had stronger enemies waiting for them.

Tywin's words were like a bucket of cold water pouring over people's heads, making them fully awake from the joy of victory.

Who is the stronger enemy?

No need for Tywin to explain, everyone knows.

The enemy who can repel the Night King will naturally be a more powerful enemy, and he still has a large number of soldiers on the other side of the narrow sea that have not landed in Westeros.

However, although Tywin's words drowned out the joy of everyone and made everyone nervous again, on the whole, they were not nervous about the White Walkers.

Because Viserys and his steppe cavalry, no matter how terrifying, are at least human, and since they are human, they can communicate, and the White Walkers don't even give them room to communicate.

If they really can't resist the Targaryen family's army of swallowing Westeros in the future, they can simply kneel and surrender. At that time, there will be no psychological burden and will not affect the family's honor.

What's more, the coalition forces and Viserys have not completely turned against each other.

Therefore, although Tywin poured a pot of cold water, the overall atmosphere of the coalition army was mainly relaxed and active.

However, two people from the entire army in the Twins City still felt a little worried.

One of them is Eddard Stark, Duke of Winterfell, and the other is Stannis Baratheon, the king's eldest brother.

The two of them are also difficult brothers and sisters. They have the names of the Guardian of the North and the Duke of Dragonstone Island in their hands, but they have no place.

They followed the Dothraki into the backs of the enemy and charged the White Walkers, so they knew how terrifying the prairie knights of Viserys were.

And they also witnessed the power of the giant dragon up close and worried about the future.

It's okay not to turn against Viserys, but if they do turn against Viserys, they probably won't have any chance of winning.

Moreover, after the two returned with the army, they first went to see Robert Baratheon, who was in a coma. They were originally qualified for the post of commander of the army.

One is the king's most trusted brother, the next king's hand, and the other is the king's own brother, who also has considerable support within the coalition.

But it was because of Robert's absence when he fell into a coma and missed the best opportunity that Tywin took up the position of commander-in-chief, and it became even more difficult to seize power.

And at this time.

The horn at the head of the Twins City suddenly sounded.

woo-

The melodious and desolate horn sound quickly spread throughout the sky.

The soldiers of the coalition army and the nobles of the seven kingdoms came out one after another. It turned out that the figure of the Dothraki army appeared at the end of the horizon, so the horn was sounded.

rumbling—

The rumble of horses' hooves, the earth trembled slightly, and the Dothraki army, which could not see the end, first appeared in the sight of the coalition soldiers like a gust of wind swept away flying grass, and then came to the front in the blink of an eye.

The Dothraki arrived at the foot of the Twin Rivers, separated by a rushing river and a towering drawbridge.

The stone arch bridge of the Twins is protected by two castles, towering walls, deep moats and heavy oak-inlaid iron gates.

Viserys, still wearing Valyrian steel armor, rode a white horse and walked at the front of the array.

Then he restrained the warhorse and looked at the city head of the Twins City. He saw Tywin Lannister, Eddard Stark, and Stannis, but he did not see Robert.

Viserys frowned slightly, then asked with one hand on the reins under the city.

"Where's Robert?"

"Let him come out to see me."

However, at this moment, the sound of a giant crossbow firing suddenly burst out from the city walls of the Twin Rivers.

bang——

A spear shot out suddenly, with a very fast speed and a shrieking sound that broke through the air, and stabbed straight at Viserys, who was riding a white horse under the city wall.

Viserys, who was under the city, raised his brows, his lavender eyes flickered slightly, and then suddenly pulled out the dusk from his waist and turned slightly sideways in the direction of the spear flying.

Then a sword split the giant crossbow in half.

However, at this moment, the painful roar of a giant dragon suddenly came from the sky above.

Dozens of huge crossbow arrows were suddenly fired from the city head of the Twins, and one of them hit Balerion's chest, and the blood of the dragon splattered on the ground.
