#387 - Chapter 121: Shocking Changes in the Frontier (I)

Then, Becket turned to Lyanna and asked, "So, what are you going to do now? Kill him?"

Lyanna thought for a moment, then shrugged nonchalantly, replying, "Forget it, too many people have died today. For the sake of Prime Minister Kevan, let him live! But I have to vent my anger first..." She suddenly raised the riding whip in her hand and lashed it fiercely at Lancel, putting all her strength into each strike, making a loud "啪啪啪~" sound. In the blink of an eye, Lancel had been whipped six or seven times, his clothes torn open, and blood flowed down his wounds.

Looking at Lancel's pained expression, Liu Yuan felt no pity, but rather felt he deserved it. Then, he turned to the soldiers beside him and ordered, "You few, immediately take this traitor back to the Red Keep and send him directly to Ser Kevan."

Before sunset, Liu Yuan led the main force of the army to withdraw from King's Landing. When they left, they almost looted the entire Visenya's Hill, even taking all the wealth accumulated by the Church of the Seven Gods over the centuries.

At this time, the steward, Sardin, led the people from the manor to rush to join the army and assist in loading all the valuable items that could be taken onto the carriages. As Liu Yuan's army and the vehicles carrying the wealth slowly drove away from King's Landing, the citizens of the city stopped to watch. They were surprised to find that this army was so large that they could not see the end of it at a glance.

The chaos within the Red Keep had not yet subsided, and people were busy running around. The turmoil caused by Mace Tyrell's death was far greater than expected. The Tyrell family's guards occupied Maegor's Holdfast and searched the Red Keep's sewers for the murderer. They were suspicious of the Gold Cloaks and Lannister soldiers, believing that only they themselves were reliable.

Even King Tommen's decree could not make the Tyrell guards yield. They refused the Gold Cloaks' and Lannister soldiers' request to enter the sewers to search, claiming they did not trust these people. Helpless, Cersei concentrated her guards in the White Sword Tower, doing her best to protect the King and Margaery. She chose not to interfere with the Tyrell guards' actions for the time being.

However, things soon took a turn for the better. Ser Garlan successfully escorted Loras back to the Red Keep. This news relieved the Tyrell soldiers, and they finally found a leader they could rely on. As soon as Loras returned, he learned of his father's death, but he suppressed the pain in his heart and quickly took control of the situation. He understood that the current situation was tense and required a high degree of vigilance.

Just then, Liu Yuan's army had already left King's Landing. They returned fully loaded, carrying rich spoils of war. Their departure left a deep mark on King's Landing. The队伍 split into two outside the city, with the main force heading to Highgarden, while Setigar and Leake's armies returned to Duskendale.

Rivera was very happy because he had not only successfully rescued his wife safely, but also the harvest this time was much more than he had expected. The portion of wealth allocated to him alone was equivalent to Duskendale's income for the next three years.

However, Lyanna was dissatisfied with his unpromising appearance and kicked him in the leg without hesitation. Then, she turned to Liu Yuan and asked, "Jialong, aren't you going back with us?"

Liu Yuan smiled and replied, "No, I have other things to deal with. I'm going to Dragonstone."

………………………………

Dragonstone, Daenerys was receiving a group of special visitors in the throne room. At this moment, two red priestesses were standing in the hall, one was Kinvara, the high priestess from the Red Temple of Volantis, and the other was Melisandre, who had once served Stannis. It was puzzling why she would appear on Dragonstone.

Daenerys stared at the two red priestesses in front of her, a hint of surprise welling up in her heart. Kinvara and Melisandre appearing before her together was a rare occurrence. Kinvara bowed slightly, saluting her, while Melisandre lagged half a step behind, a detail that suggested Kinvara's slightly higher status in the church.

"Greetings, Your Great Queen! We come on behalf of the Temple of R'hllor!" Kinvara's voice was low and solemn.

Daenerys' gaze calmly swept over the two, her voice steady and full of majesty: "Why have you come?"

Kinvara spoke first, her tone firm. "Your Majesty, I bring news from Volantis. The Lord of Light's temples in the Free Cities are ready to fully support your great cause, and we will provide you with more power."

Melisandre followed closely, "Your Majesty, I am here to request assistance. The ancient evil god poses a serious threat to human survival, and his evil forces are attacking the Wall. I once served Stannis, but unfortunately, he died in the wilderness three days ago. However, on the battlefield, I saw dragons participating in the flames. Daenerys, you are the true prince in the prophecy, Azor Ahai. Mother of Dragons, savior of mankind."

Daenerys: "Thank you for your trust, but I need time to consider whether to send troops. I am accumulating strength here on Dragonstone to reclaim the Iron Throne. But you want me to expedition beyond the Wall, this is a major event, and I doubt your purpose."

The two red priests looked at each other, and then Kinvara said: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I didn't know about what Melisandre said before. But I believe her, the images seen in the flames are the revelations given to us by the Lord of Light. Please forgive my rudeness, in the face of the war against the evil god's minions, the secular struggle for kingship is meaningless, the evil god's army of the dead will kill every living life."

Tyrion stepped forward and said: "I'm sorry, I interrupted. Can I know how the usurper Stannis died? What are the evil god's minions you are talking about?"

Kinvara said: "In this world, there are only two true gods left, one is our Lord of Light, R'hllor; the other is the ancient alien god, its name has long been lost in the river of history, no one knows, but people call it the Cold God. The evil god's minions have the terrifying ability to drive the dead, and these monsters are called White Walkers in Westeros."

Tyrion said with a puzzled look: "As far as I know, White Walkers are just legendary creatures..." He thought his voice sounded a little ridiculous, after all, it sounded like something out of a children's story. But he decided to continue to ask, "Then why did they appear in Westeros?"
