Chapter 243 The Tyrells Arrive

As the last meeting to send troops to Westeros ended, Gavin and Daenerys came to Dragonstone first. Gavin has two plans. On the one hand, he plans to marry Margaery Tyrell here, making this grand wedding a special node and announcing his intention to attack to the entire Westeros; On the other hand, he plans to use Dragonstone as a springboard to launch an attack on Westeros.

As time passed slowly, Gavin's army had been assembled on Dragonstone, and the news that he was about to marry Margaery spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms as if it had wings.

Meanwhile, all the nobles of Westeros have received Daenerys' ravens to claim the Iron Throne. Most of the nobles are not privy to information, and they have heard about all the happenings in the Eastern Continent.

After all, three hundred years ago, Aegon the Conqueror conquered the entire Westeros with only three dragons and less than two thousand soldiers. Today, Gavin also has three dragons, and his wife Daenerys Tange Lean is still the orthodox heir to the Iron Throne and has undisputed claim rights. Even excluding these three dragons, Gavin has more troops than Aegon did at the time. This powerful military strength has made Westeros The nobles all felt a headache.

Even the school city, which had always been at odds with Gavin, sent congratulations to Raven. Apparently, he no longer dared to offend Gavin anymore and was trying to ease the relationship.

Gavin did not claim the Iron Throne, but instead ceded it to Daenerys Targaryen, a move that made the nobility throughout Westeros relatively more accepting.

The nobles have been loyal to Targaryen for three hundred years, and they are more accustomed to Targaryen than Balerys.

Because of this, many nobles have sent ravens to Dragonstone during this time, and some even secretly came to Dragonstone to swear allegiance to Gavin and Daenerys.

After Tywin and Renly received this news, they unanimously chose to shrink their forces and ceased their confrontation with each other.

Tywin seemed to understand in his heart that the blood feud between the Lannister family and the Targaryen family was already irreconcilable, so he did not send any envoys or ravens, but instead ordered the blockade of King's Landing. Obviously, this scheming "old lion" will cling to his pride and stick to his final bottom line, even if he faces the crisis of his family's demise.

On the calm sea, the Tyrell family's fleet was slowly sailing towards Dragonstone. The fleet of five ships was quite large. Under the sunlight, the hull exuded a faint luster.

Each ship is hung with the flags of various families, and they are flapping in the sea breeze. The most eye-catching and largest among them is the rose flag that symbolizes the Tyrell family. The delicate rose pattern is on the Flying freely in the air, it seems to be announcing the extraordinary origin of this fleet to the world.

Standing on the bow of the ship, Mace Tyrell, the Warden of the South and Duke of Highgarden, had his eyes wide open, his mouth slightly open, his face full of shock. His eyes were fixed on Dragonstone and hovering over it. On the black dragon.

The black dragon was huge and exuded a frightening aura of majesty. Every time it flapped its wings, it brought up bursts of air and left black shadows in the sky.

For Metz, dragons are mysterious and powerful creatures that he has only seen in the beautiful illustrations in books in the past. Now that he has seen them with his own eyes, the shock is like a raging wave, impacting one after another. It touched his heart and made him unable to recover for a moment.

Mrs. Olenna on the side just raised her head and glanced at the black dragon, and then quickly withdrew her gaze, as if the shocking scene could not make much waves in her heart.

She turned to look at Margery beside her, with a bit of scrutiny and concern in her eyes.

This old woman, known as the "Queen of Thorns", is indeed far more calm and steady than her son, the Duke of Metz, who is the guardian of the South.

She gently took Margaery's hand, the dry but strong hand held Margaery's hand, and said softly: "As far as I know, Daenerys is not pregnant yet. Once you marry Gavin, "We need to conceive his child as soon as possible. As long as you give birth to your eldest son, we can take the lead."

When Margaery heard this, she shook her head slightly, with a bit of helplessness on her face, and said: "Gavin did not claim to conquer the Iron Throne, but gave it to Daenerys. I'm afraid he is I plan to leave everything about the Iron Throne to Daenerys’s children. Even if I give birth to my eldest son, I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to inherit it. In fact, I am very happy to be the queen.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Olenna snorted dissatisfiedly. Although she could understand Margery's thoughts, she still cursed in a low voice: "Gavin, this little bastard."

Then, she raised her head and looked at Margaery, and said sternly: "Don't forget, you have the full support of the Tyrell family behind you. In any case, it is best to occupy the name of the eldest son first, so that we can follow up On the issue of inheritance, we will not fall into passivity.”

Margaery frowned slightly and responded: "But now Daenerys is not only the queen, but the senior officials of the Stepstone Islands also support her. As far as I know, the three regents of Gavin all support her, even The commander of the First Legion, Brenitas, is Daenerys’s guardian knight, do you remember?”

Olenna asked softly: "So what? Don't forget the clan language of the Tyrell family. Life is endless. No one can say for sure what will happen in the future."

Margaery nodded slightly and said no more words.

Seeing this, Olenna continued with a smile: "The dragon is the key, Margaery. Once you have the title of eldest son, and if you can control the dragon, then naturally many nobles will be willing to support him. And with the title of Ti, With the strength of the Leer family, they will be able to win over the top leaders of the Stone Step Islands."

"I know, grandma." Margaery nodded, but she knew in her heart that Daenerys's children can also control dragons, not to mention that she is a dragon control herself. Dragons may have advantages to the outside world, but they are not good for the Belerys family. I'm afraid it's not that important.

She understands her family's ambitions, but she doesn't want to be troublesome. Becoming a queen has been her dream for so many years, not to mention that it is Gavin who marries her.

"I can only slowly change my grandmother's mind." Margery thought to herself.

At this moment, the fleet was slowly approaching the port of Dragonstone Island. As the hull of the ship came into contact with the pier, there was a dull sound, and then the ship plank was slowly lowered and rested on the pier.

Margaery looked up and saw Gavin and Daenerys already waiting on the dock.

Gavin has a tall and straight figure, wearing a gorgeous and exquisite robe, which reflects dazzling light under the sunlight.

Behind them, a row of Blood Dragon Guards were lined up neatly. They were wearing special black armor, exuding a chilling aura. All around, flaming flags and three-headed dragon flags were flying high. The flags were dancing in the wind, making a hunting sound, as if they were playing a welcoming movement.

The ceremonial scene was quite spectacular, showing solemnity and majesty, which made people feel awe.

Olenna patted Margaery gently, looked at the Duke of Metz, and said, "Go and take your father off the boat." After that, she took the lead and walked towards the board of the ship with steady steps. , the straight back look does not suggest that she is an old woman who has gone through many vicissitudes of life, but instead has an unquestionable majesty.

Margaery stepped forward and took Mace's arm obediently, followed Olenna, and walked towards the shore.

"Your Majesty, I salute you." Lady Olenna, who was the first to disembark, bowed slightly to Gavin and Daenerys, with a decent smile on her face.

Gavin bowed in return and responded with a smile: "Welcome to you, Lady Olenna, as well as the Duke of Mace and Miss Margaery. Your arrival today will make Dragonstone even more glorious and glorious."

Daenerys also nodded slightly, and then she and Margaery walked side by side towards the castle. The two women walked and talked softly. Margaery curiously asked about all the interesting things about Dragonstone. Daenerys patiently answered them one by one, and burst into light laughter from time to time. The scene looked quite harmonious.

Gavin and the Duke of Metz followed behind. The Duke of Metz looked at Gavin, his eyes full of emotion, and said: "Your Majesty, I never thought that the great young man who first showed his talents at the banquet has now achieved such impressive results. The remarkable achievements really make me, an old man, unable to help but marvel at the wonder of time.”

Gavin smiled humbly and responded: "Lord Mace, this is all thanks to you. If you hadn't given me the opportunity at the banquet and let Margaery canonize me as a knight, how could I have done it? There are these opportunities later.”

When the Duke of Metz heard this, he couldn't help laughing. The hearty laughter echoed on the road leading to the castle. He patted Gavin on the shoulder and said: "Haha, that's because you have the ability and the ability." potential, I’m just being a good father.”

Everyone was talking like this while walking towards the castle.

On the way, the Duke of Metz leaned slightly closer to Gavin and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I have issued a recruitment order to the entire Reach. Now 40,000 troops have been assembled in Highgarden, and Vilas is still receiving them in Highgarden. After this wedding is over, the Reach will probably be able to gather an army of 60,000 people. I wonder if you plan to attack King's Landing directly, or do you have other plans?"

Gavin frowned slightly and thought for a while, then said softly: "Lord Mace, I plan to take the Stormlands first. With the blockade of the fleet, King's Landing has long become an isolated city. Tywin, who has been without supplies for a long time, has no choice but to give up. , I’m afraid there’s no other way. Maybe after we take the Storm Land, we can take over King’s Landing without any blood.”

After hearing this, the Duke of Metz nodded thoughtfully and did not delve further into this topic. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "I heard that you only have three ministers."

Gavin nodded and understood what the other party was thinking. Obviously, the Duke of Metz was not really worthless. He first proposed the wedding and the gathering of troops, obviously telling Gavin that he had sacrificed a daughter and an army of 60,000 yuan. , hoping to get the desired harvest.

Gavin said: "Yes, Lord Mace, I have always been in short supply of talents, especially those who govern the country. I still lack the hand of a king to help me handle many affairs. After thinking about it, I think you are I couldn't be more suitable. You have rich experience and excellent leadership skills. If you can take up this position, you will definitely help me."

The Duke of Metz was stunned for a moment, then a somewhat embarrassed smile appeared on his face, he waved his hand and said: "Oh, Your Majesty, you are flattering me too much. Although I have some experience, I am worried that I cannot shoulder such an important responsibility. Na."

Gavin hurriedly said sincerely: "Lord Mace, please don't be so modest. Your governance in the River Bay is obvious to all. Your wisdom and strategy are also well known to everyone. I sincerely think you are the best candidate for the King's Hand. I hope you can consider it."

The Duke of Mace was very happy to hear Gavin's praise, but he was still polite. The two of them talked back and forth like this, and before they knew it, they walked into the castle.

The castle had already been decorated, and there was a solemn and festive atmosphere everywhere, as if welcoming the upcoming wedding of extraordinary significance.
