Jun Lin is finished! If the real Fang Yan is compared with the one mentioned in the rumors, even if he has one tenth of the truth...
How could his foolish sister Cersei fight him when he was so powerful, wise, and led an invincible army? How could she pin her hopes on Jaime who had received the favor of the Stranger?
Even so, Tyrion returns, with the heroism of a martyr about to sacrifice himself.
And now, Tyrion has changed his mind.
James has changed so much.
He became a truly mature, wise, calm and powerful knight commander.
He has such an impressive record in battle that even when facing Fang Yan, he seems to have the confidence to win.
All in all, Tyrion did his job well.
He had done his best for the non-existent glory of the Lannisters.
Today, Fang Yan's army has reached the outskirts of King's Landing.
Tyrion did not stay in the Red Keep, but wandered around the city under the protection of two knights of the Royal Guard.
The streets of King's Landing were always bustling with people and horses, but at this moment, they were full of dangers he had never seen before.
On the side of the textile street, a naked body was lying in a ditch, being torn apart by a group of wild dogs, but no one cared.
Pairs of golden-robed guards can be seen everywhere.
They patrol the streets wearing black ringmail, never leaving their iron rods.
The market was full of people in rags selling their belongings, but there were almost no farmers selling meat or vegetables.
The few stalls that did have food on display were charging three times what they had been a few months earlier! One vendor was hawking roasted rat on a spit.
"Fresh rats!"
In extraordinary times, hiring mercenaries is cheaper than bread.
Tyrion reached the top of the city wall and saw his own army of soldiers.
It was a mixed legion of archers and swordsmen wearing light armor. They had sharp eyes, agile movements, and were well-trained, as if they were ready to deal a fatal blow to the enemy at any time.
Such a well-disciplined army can indeed give people a sense of security.
"We will win! We will win!"
The soldiers shouted slogans with full energy, and it was obvious that they were not hungry.
However……
Outside King's Landing, the knights belonging to Fang Yan were wearing heavy armor in the front row. They held spears and shields, their horses were neighing, and they were also in high spirits. They looked powerful and evil, giving people a feeling of being invincible.
“This is a long and protracted battle.”
Jaime's magnetic and steady voice rang in Tyrion's ears, "It will take at least thirty days to determine the winner."
"If we move slower, we may have to hold out for more than 400 days, until the food in the city is exhausted. When we run out of ammunition and food and people start to eat each other, we will see the dawn of victory."
"By that time, people will always feel cold because of hunger."
"Soaking in the natural hot springs to keep warm has become the most popular activity in King's Landing."
Tyrion wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips he didn't have the strength to speak them.
James' tone was so certain that it made people feel as if he had experienced all of this personally.
Finally, the dwarf Prime Minister reminded: "I heard that some time ago, the [Sons of Warriors] all joined Fang Yan for glory."
"Be careful of this surprise force."
They always wear rainbow capes and silver armor over their woolen shirts.
The round head of their sword is a star-shaped crystal, so they are also called the Knights of the Holy Sword.
Many famous saints, practitioners, fanatics, sorcerers, dragon slayers, demon hunters, etc. have emerged from them...
What these countless stories have in common is that they all praise the knights' courage and determination to defend the church and fight against their enemies.
Jaime Lannister seemed to have considered this factor a long time ago, and said softly: "The quality of the warrior sons is good, but they can't show much ability in a large-scale battle like this."
His record makes every word he says extremely convincing.
Earlier, during Jaime's wanderings, Balon, the High King of the Iron Islands, fell off the reef in a storm on the island of Pyke and died.
Balon's brother, Aeron Greyjoy, convened a kingsmoot to decide Balon's successor.
——Euroren Greyjoy, who wore the driftwood crown and was said to have his kingship granted by the sea and blessed by the Drowned God, did not restore the majesty and glory of the Grey King. Instead, he and all his soldiers were defeated miserably by Jaime.
Euron Greyjoy, the defeated warrior, is actually quite powerful.
In the original story, this guy led his fleet and wiped out two allies of Daenerys Targaryen, the Mother of Dragons, in one fell swoop, and got Cersei into bed.
But he was easily destroyed by James and his scattered troops.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! …
With the sound of dull war drums, the thrilling bloody battle of King's Landing officially began! The huge ladder, made of solid wood and iron chains, soared into the clouds and pointed directly to the wall of King's Landing.
Carrying shields and holding sharp swords, the brave warriors climbed the ladders in an attempt to break through the city wall's defenses, braving the enemy's rain of arrows and stones.
The knights affiliated with Fang Yan took the lead in launching the charge.
The heavily armored knights surged in like a steel torrent, their spears flashing cold light, pointing directly at the gate of King's Landing.
The archers on the walls of King's Landing quickly formed an arrow formation and fired thousands of arrows at the charging knights.
Under the suppression of the rain of arrows, the speed of the Knights' charge slowed down significantly.
The catapult, like a giant beast, used the principle of leverage to throw huge stones into King's Landing, splashing blood.
Houses collapsed and the unfortunate people were crushed into pulp by huge rocks.
The greatest effect of the catapult is that it damages morale, making people in the city always tremble with fear.
Boom! The rocks drew long arcs in the air and then smashed heavily into the enemy army, causing chaos and casualties again.
"Use the Dragon Slayer Crossbow!"
At James's command, the soldiers methodically delivered the terrifying war machines built with huge sums of money to the top of the city walls. "Without these things, King's Landing won't be able to hold out against Fang Yan for even half a day!"
The extremely long range and powerful force that could easily penetrate the enemy's shields and armor, but the gray, completely inconspicuous Dragon Slayer Crossbow was his winning weapon, specifically designed to kill Fang Yan and his Fire Dragon Legion! However...
Just as James was giving orders calmly, suddenly, accompanied by a loud bang, the city gate was broken!
"How is that possible?"
Jaime's eyes widened as he looked into the eyes of Fang Yan, who had rushed into King's Landing first with a grin on his face, across the battlefield filled with gunpowder.
The knight commander who was blessed by the Stranger God and the new generation leader of Lannister showed an expression of disbelief: "In the future I simulated, there is absolutely no such scene!"
"Fang Yan, the last descendant of the dragon...he deceived the Seven Gods?!"
