BXBX NOVEL Chapter 365: strategy
Margaery smiled and helped Daenerys put on an elegant black palace dress. The exquisite tailoring technique perfectly outlined her perfect body curve. Elegant and slender white neck like a swan.
Exquisite and impeccable facial features paired with amethyst-like eyes combine pure, charming and noble temperament to form a unique charm.
Daenerys looked at herself in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, and she couldn\'t help showing surprise.
"Thank you, Margaery. I have never worn such a gorgeous dress."
"This is what I should do." Margaery tied a string of tasseled headbands on her head, "As a former princess of the Seven Kingdoms and now the Queen of Storms, you should have a wardrobe worthy of your status. This is what I asked Mr. Modes to do for you, he is the tailor I brought from High Court specially, his craftsmanship is excellent, if you need anything in the future, just look for him."
"OK."
Margaery fiddled with Daenerys\'s headdress, looked at it again, and showed a satisfied smile:
"Okay. Also, you need a maid..."
"I have three maids." Daenerys said, "It\'s just that they are still on the summer sea. It is estimated that it will take three or four months to reach the storm."
Returning to Westeros this time, Daenerys and Samwell rode a dragon one step ahead, and the army of the Unsullied, as well as maids, followers, etc. are still floating in the sea.
"Then I\'ll find two maids to serve you first." Margaret said, "In addition, you need a knight guard."
"I have two loyal knights..."
"But are they still at sea?"
"Hmm." Daenerys suddenly felt an unspeakable loneliness.
"I\'ll help you find a Stormland Knight later."
"Okay." Daenerys didn\'t refuse, and Margaery\'s kind attitude reassured her, "Thank you for taking care of me, Margaery."
"This is what I should do." Margaery hugged Daenerys and kissed her on the cheek, "You should be seventeen years old this year, right? When I saw you, I thought of Alan. She is my cousin. Sister, this year should have been the same age as you."
Daenerys froze for a moment: "It should have been?"
"Yes." Margaery sighed sadly, "Last year the Deer Party rebellion broke out in the Reach, and unfortunately she was killed by the rebels..."
"I\'m sorry." Daenerys said hastily.
"It\'s okay." Margaery showed a gentle smile, "You must know the feeling of losing a loved one better than me. And you are stronger than me. If I were you, I\'m afraid I would have collapsed long ago."
Daenerys was sad, but felt that the softness of her heart was touched, and she couldn\'t help but blurted out:
"We will be relatives from now on."
"Yes." Margaery smiled sweetly, hugged Daenerys again, then took her hand and walked out, saying, "Let me introduce you to Storm\'s End, this ancient castle is said to have been It has a history of thousands of years, and there is a sense of simplicity and majesty everywhere, but it is too majestic and depressing, so I planted a lot of roses before, and I will take you to see it."
"good."
The two of them walked out of Shoubao and came to the back garden. The patchwork layout of tall trees and low shrubs made the light and shadow changes perfectly blend with the natural environment. It was late autumn, and the trees were full of golden colors, and the half-dead leaves were spinning and falling.
"It\'s late autumn now, and the temperature is not suitable for roses to bloom, so I specially asked them to build a greenhouse." Margaery took Daenerys forward and came to a greenhouse with a glass dome.
Through the transparent curtain wall, Daenerys can already see the golden roses blooming in the room, like a sea of molten gold, gorgeous and dazzling.
"It\'s so beautiful." She couldn\'t help expressing emotion.
Samwell leaned on the open-air balcony on the second floor of the castle, watching his two wives walk into the greenhouse hand in hand, secretly thinking that the two of them got along pretty well.
Don’t look at Daenerys as strong on the outside, but she is actually fragile on the inside and longs for family affection. If others treat her better, she will easily fall.
With Margaery\'s affinity, Daenerys couldn\'t stand it at all.
Samwell felt that he could save a lot of worry.
He came back to his senses, and continued to listen to the castle supervisor, Gavin Mander, reporting the situation of the territory.
Samwell listened patiently, and then ordered:
"The number of laborers to build the artificial river will temporarily stay at 100,000, don\'t increase it."
"However, Your Majesty, if this is the case, it will be difficult for us to achieve our expected goal, and with the Iron Bank\'s two million golden dragon loan, we are not short of money."
"But we have more urgent things to do." Samwell sighed, "Winter is coming sooner than I expected, so some things must be speeded up. The money in the iron bank is used to buy food first, But don\'t buy it in Westeros, buy it in the Free Cities across the Narrow Sea, and buy as much as possible."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"In addition, we need to prepare 8,000 pairs of chain mail, and get them together within three months as soon as possible. If time is too tight and we can\'t buy so many, we will replace them with leather armor."
"yes."
"There is also dragon crystal." Samwell said again, "Before I asked you to buy dragon crystals in large quantities, how much did you buy?"
"Currently, about 3,000 pounds of dragon crystals have been hoarded."
Samwell frowned, looking dissatisfied with this:
"That\'s all?"
Gavin sighed and explained:
"Your Majesty, although dragon crystals are not considered expensive minerals, the problem is that only Dragonstone Island produces dragon crystals in large quantities, and that is the territory of Stannis Baratheon. He has noticed that we are buying dragon crystals in large quantities. Afterwards, the sale was ordered to be prohibited.”
Samwell narrowed his eyes and said:
"Okay, I see. I will deal with this matter. How is the situation in the north now?"
"The Stark family is still resisting tenaciously, but due to the fall of Winterfell, their situation is getting worse day by day. Although the northern lords supported Ed Stark at the beginning, as time went by, their After seeing no hope of victory, they gradually reduced their support, withdrew their troops, and even many families fell to the lions."
"Which Northern families fell to the Lions?"
"Now I\'ve heard about the betrayal of the Seven family, the Laswell family, the Dustin family, especially the Dustin family. Countess Barbara Dustin even captured Duke Ed\'s eldest son, Robb Smith. Tucker."
Samwell sighed secretly. He didn\'t expect that although the young wolf lord did not die in the betrayal of the Frey family as in the original book, he still fell into the hands of Mrs. Ballerina.
However, he was not surprised by Mrs. Ballerina\'s betrayal.
This widow in the deserted village has always harbored deep resentment towards the Stark family in her heart. In addition, she has an in-law relationship with Earl Roose Bolton, so it is normal for her to be provoked to betray her.
"Your Majesty, the Stark family may not last long. If we want to deal with the Lannister family, it is best to send troops before the situation in the northern border completely collapses."
Samwell glanced at Gavin in surprise. You must know that although Gavin can be said to be the first group of elders to follow Samwell, and has always won the trust of Samwell, Gavin has always been only in charge of logistics. Affairs is Samwell\'s chief supervisor, but he has never expressed his views on military issues.
Gavin saw Samwell staring at him, and immediately told the whole story:
"Your Majesty, in fact... many knights have come to me... They all think that we should send troops to attack King\'s Landing as soon as possible."
"They are quite anxious." Samwell smiled, but was a little surprised by the urgency of those under his command.
Maybe this time he returns with Daenerys and the three dragons, and the impact is greater than he expected.
This is not a bad thing.
However, Samwell is also very sober. If he wants to attack King\'s Landing, he must first solve a key problem—
How to cross the natural moat of the Heishui River.
"How is the research progress of the Bachelor of Science?"
"It should go well. He sent someone to invite you to visit the pier when he heard that you came back in the morning."
"Okay, then I\'ll go and have a look." Samwell set off immediately.
Going downstairs, I ran into Daenerys and Margaery who had just come out of the greenhouse.
Both of them held a bouquet of roses in their hands, and put one in their hair. When they saw Samwell, their faces also turned into flowers with smiles:
"Sam, where are you going?"
"Go to the beach and see the new gadgets of Bachelor Coburn." Samwell stepped forward and kissed the two respectively, and said with a smile, "Do you want to go together?"
Margaret nodded immediately: "Okay, the new gadgets of Bachelor Qyburn are always full of surprises."
Daenerys didn\'t know Maester Qyburn, and she didn\'t know what the other party\'s so-called new gadget was, but she also nodded happily:
"Okay, I\'ll go too."
