Chapter 425 Tywin's Plan
It's not that Tywin's words are unreasonable, and Eddard has completely calmed down at this moment, but the biggest problem in front of him is not how to explain the truth clearly, but what to do with the dragon above his head?
boom--
Then there was another loud noise, and the roar of a giant dragon shook the sky.
The giant dragon was venting its anger, and its roar made the Twins City tremble. Except for the strategic materials hidden in the cellar, all the giant crossbows placed on the city walls had been burned by the dragon flames.
The soldiers of the coalition army also suffered heavy casualties, some were directly burned to death, or jumped off the city wall and jumped into the river in an attempt to survive.
After losing the only weapon that could threaten the dragon, the counterattack organized by the coalition soldiers seemed a little weak in the face of the mythical beast like the dragon.
The screams sounded, and the flames kept pouring down.
"Archer!"
"Archer!"
Lombard Toha, Earl of Torun Square, was lying on the wall, his face blackened by the smoke.
He looked at the flying figure of the giant dragon above his head, then waved his hand and roared loudly.
"Archers, come here all!"
And the surrounding coalition archers all gathered after hearing Lord Earl's order.
Many of the soldiers of the coalition army were temporarily captured strong men, mainly refugees from the northern border and Hejian.
But after the war with the White Walkers, they have become veterans at this moment.
"Raise the bow!"
Then, following the order of the Count, all the archers of the coalition army put their bows and arrows in unison, and raised them to aim at the dragon that was constantly circling and dancing in the sky, breathing flames.
Bellerion swooped down again just in this direction, wrapped in unstoppable power, the dragon's roar shook his eardrums.
"Shit!"
And Lombard Tauha, Earl of Torun Square City, twisted his facial muscles in fear, swallowed slightly, and then roared sharply.
"Kill this beast for me!"
"Fire arrows!"
bang bang bang-
In an instant, the bowstrings made a sound, and countless arrows flew straight towards the swooping dragon.
And Bellerion roared again in the face of the black arrow rain, without fear.
ding ding dong
Countless arrows fell on the hard scales of Balerion and made a metal collision sound, but they did not break the defense at all, but were directly thrown out and fell to the ground.
Then the giant dragon opened its huge mouth slightly, and a dazzling crimson light appeared in the depths of its throat.
Desperate expressions appeared on the faces of Lombard Tauha, Earl of Torun Square, and the archers of the many coalition forces below.
next second.
rumbling—
The overwhelming dragon flame poured down.
"Ahhh"
Earl Lombard Taoha and many coalition soldiers let out a shrill scream, twisted under the raging dragon flame, and turned into a charred corpse in an instant.
huh~
Then Balerion's figure rose again, passed over the city wall, and flew high into the sky with a gust of wind.
Now the soldiers of the Coalition have finally experienced what the White Walkers and the Dothraki faced when they faced the dragon.
The opponent flew in the sky and kept breathing fire, and the people below had nothing to do if they were in a hurry, and ordinary arrows and crossbows had nothing to do with the thick scales of the giant dragon.
This is still the case when Bellerion is young now, at best a 'juvenile dragon', but its size is much older than his age.
There is no growth limit in the life of a giant dragon, and it will continue to grow with its age. Its scales will become thicker and rougher than steel, and even the arrows fired by the giant crossbow cannot cause damage to it.
At that time, the dragon has truly become the sky overlord that no one can threaten.
The city walls are like purgatory on earth, with raging dragon flames and billowing gunpowder smoke everywhere.
And below the castle.
wow-
The gravel, rubble and dust on the ceiling above their heads fell rustling, and everyone under the castle was poured into a dusty face.
"What now?"
The upright people from the north actually agreed with Tywin's point of view in their hearts, but they didn't agree with Tywin's way of doing things.
If he really wants to defeat Viserys, now is the best chance, otherwise nothing can stop him when his three dragons and 60,000 army cross the narrow sea.
And Tywin patted the dust on his body a little embarrassedly. Hearing the dragon roar above his head, he raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the castle with solemn eyes. He took a deep breath and said.
"Bravos."
"Trust me, Lord Eddard, Braavos is the last force in the world that wants to see House Targaryen rise again."
"When the Targaryens were at their worst, Braavos helped them, but now the Targaryens have a large army, dragons, and the support of the people of Pantos, and even challenge Braavos. position in the trading city-states."
There is probably a proverb in the free trade city-state about this situation, no one wants someone who was weaker than himself to climb on top of his head.
For the Braavos, this real threat was right in front of him, and he couldn't help but pay attention to Targaryen.
"Bravos?"
Eddard Stark frowned deeply when he heard Tywin's words.
"Lord Tywin, how did you get in touch with Braavos?"
In fact, as one of the oldest and longest nobles in Westeros history, the Stark family is very abiding by tradition.
This is reflected in Ed, who has an obedience to honor and a fair and strict way of doing things, and rarely actively contacts with outside forces.
"Remember that messenger from the Iron Vault?"
And Tywin shook his head and said.
Ed suddenly realized that in this war, there had always been a messenger of the Iron Vault following the army, named Taichu Nestos.
He is also Robert's god of wealth, and the Iron Vault has provided a lot of low-interest or even interest-free loans to help the coalition stop the White Walkers.
It seems that Tywin has already contacted Braavos through the other party without knowing when.
"But Braavos was out of reach after all."
And Eddie frowned slightly before opening his mouth.
Braavos is thousands of miles away from the Twins, and even if Tywin has made contact with the other party, Braavos is willing to ally with the Iron Throne.
But the news reached the Neptune Palace and then came back. Braavos' invincible fleet was dispatched. It is estimated that everyone's bodies were already cold.
"I have also sent someone to contact the Golden Group in advance."
And Tywin still seems to have a plan, and it seems that he has made plans for a long time, and it is definitely not a decision made temporarily today.
"These mercenaries only recognize gold, and have no honor or responsibility. As long as we promise them high profits, we guarantee that they will be tempted."
"At that time, the daughter of Rhaegar was directly arrested and threatened Viserys to retreat."
On Dragonstone Island, the thick smoke from the crater rose, and the figure of the giant dragon shuttled through the smoke.
The Targaryen army was stationed on Dragonstone and Tidehead, with flags fluttering in the wind.
At this moment, the heavily guarded Unsullied soldiers opened the gates of the castle.
The commander of the Golden Corps, Mies Toyn, hurriedly entered the castle with a person.
"His Royal Highness Princess, we have caught a spy."
