Popular recommendations:

Peng!

A tall warrior wearing full armor threw another full armored warrior, who looked dwarfed by him, to the ground.

ever!

The tall warrior opened the short warrior's full-face mask with his left hand, pulled out the dagger from his waist with his right hand, and pointed at that beautiful face.

"Admit defeat, I admit defeat!"

The handsome 'Knight of Flowers' Loras Tyrell felt the aura of the tall warrior as if he really wanted to kill him, and shouted loudly with a pale face.

Snap, snap, snap!

King Renly Baratheon and Queen Margaery Tyrell sat on a temporary wooden stand nearby. Seeing that the winner was decided, Renly clapped loudly and praised: "What a beautiful battle. The final winner is Brienne of Tarth!"

Hearing this, the tall knight got up from Loras, came to Renly, took off his helmet, and knelt down on one knee.

This is a burly female warrior with a height of over six feet (approximately 1.83 meters), with yellow hair, and a very androgynous appearance.

This is the ‘beauty’ Brienne who is famous in the Seven Kingdoms!

Witnessing this tournament were all noble counts from the Riverlands and Stormlands, as well as many knights.

After winning the tourney, Brienne successfully joined Renly's Kingsguard.

Varys, who was among the crowd of spectators, saw that the contest was over and asked the guards to announce it for him. After receiving Renly's permission, Varys stood in front of him.

Renly straightened his head, which was made of soft gold. The crown was engraved with roses, and was surrounded by tiny antlers. There was a crown made of dark emerald with a deer's head on the front.

He said in a tone that seemed like he couldn't remember Wallis's name: "Oh? You are... by the way, you are the feared eight-clawed spider!

Sorry, this martial arts tournament is so exciting that I kept you waiting for so long!"

"Varys, Your Majesty!"

Wallis smiled without anger and answered in his own gentle tone.

"Haha, Lord Varys, it was just a joke!

We have held imperial meetings together for so many years, how could I forget your name!

So, you are here to make an offer for Lannister, right?

Gee, you guys are so loyal!

Not long after Robert died, you went directly to the Lannister and worked for the new master."

Renly's handsome face also showed a smile, and he spoke to Varys with a hint of thorn in his words.

"Your Majesty, a humble eunuch like me cannot even beat an ordinary person.

Apart from obtaining some information, there is nothing else I can rely on to survive.

After all, people want to live, so..."

When Wallis heard this, he showed a helpless smile and told his difficulties in a sincere tone.

"It's a joke, it's just a joke. Don't mind it, Lord Varys. Tell me about the price Lannister offers!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Renly got back to business, Varys nodded in agreement and told Cersei's conditions.

"Ha ha ha ha……

Didn’t you say that Lannister has always been very generous? Why are the conditions for this offer so stingy?”

After hearing Cersei's conditions, Renly laughed loudly and happily, and then asked Varys.

"My king, my love! Presumably, Lannister has lost all his gold because Casterly Rock was captured by Robb Stark, and he must start saving a little!"

As soon as Renly finished speaking, the beautiful queen beside him, Margaery, replied in a clear and gentle voice.

"Thanks for the reminder, dear! I almost forgot about this recent news.

Well, under the siege of Tywin Lannister, Robb Stark not only was not defeated, but also captured the Lannister clan castle.

Although I have never met him, he should be a brave and skilled warrior like his father!"

Hearing this, Renly turned around to thank the beauties around him, and then praised Robb to Varys.

Varys heard Renly's words of praise,

Thinking of this young man who turned King's Landing upside down, he nodded in agreement.

"Lord Varys, look around you. One hundred thousand troops are gathering here, preparing to attack King's Landing.

The Lannister army is being put out everywhere by the northern army. There are only thousands of gold robes in King's Landing. Why should they resist me!

I have no interest in Lannister terms!

However, if Lord Varys is willing to surrender to me, my position as intelligence chief will still belong to you.

You can see the power of my army in these two days, and then tell me your answer."

Before Varys could continue speaking, Renly offered him an olive branch.

"Yes, Your Majesty! I will take a good visit!"

To be honest, in terms of numbers and strength, Renly did have a huge advantage.

As a man who always stands on the side of the winner, Varys had a thoughtful expression on his face when he was recruited by Renly.

"Okay, then that's it!

Sir Robert Royce, you are responsible for leading Lord Varys on a tour these two days. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Your Majesty!"

When one of Renly's Kingsguard heard his order, he immediately understood the meaning and nodded in response.

That afternoon, Renly, who was inspecting the army, received a notification from his guard that a group of unexpected guests had arrived outside Bitterbridge.

Not long after, Renly took Ser Robert, who was accompanying Varys, and the other Kingsguard, plus a group of cavalry holding the crowned stag banner, towards the hills outside the camp.

On the hill, a cavalry team of more than ten people had been waiting for a long time.

"Second brother, what happened to your stag? Was it roasted by the fire?"

As soon as he approached the opponent's cavalry, Renly smiled and joked.

This group of waiting cavalry is Stannis, who led a fleet to besiege Storm's End Castle, but was unable to capture it for a long time.

After receiving the news that Robb Stark had captured Casterly Rock, he immediately decided to come to Bitterbridge in person to persuade Renly to surrender for the last time.

"The flaming stag flag was changed because His Majesty the King believed in the King of Light. It is his new family emblem!"

Melisandre, the "girl in red robe", showed a smile on her pretty face and answered with the beautiful voice of a mature woman.

"Ha, you must be the rumored flame priest who likes to sacrifice and burn people!"

Renly glanced around at Melisandre's pretty face and curvy figure, and said with a smile.

"Haha, Lord Renly, it's not because I like them, but because I'm helping them wash away their sins.

Now they have been washed away from their sins and are embracing our Lord, the Lord of Light!”

Melisandre heard what Renly said, shook her head, and answered like a devout believer.

"Hey, then they should thank you."

When Renly heard this, he tilted his head and sneered, then turned to Stannis and said jokingly,

"Second brother, now I finally understand why you have to change your beliefs at such an old age! You have good taste!"

"I warn you to be careful with what you say, Renly!"

Stannis' already serious expression turned cloudy when he heard Renly's teasing, as if he was about to fall out.

"Oh, oh, lighten up! I was just kidding.

In my impression, you are boring, rigid, and boring. But you are not pious!"

Renly smiled and told what he knew about Stannis. Then he seemed to feel a little bored, shook his head, and brought the topic back on track.

"So, second brother, you came to me this time to declare your surrender to me?"

"Yes, it is a declaration of surrender! I am here to give you one last chance, Renly, surrender to me!"

Stannis nodded and explained his purpose.

"Hahaha! Why should I surrender to you?"

Renly couldn't help laughing when he heard his second brother's words.

"Robert is dead, Joffrey is the bastard son of Lannister. According to the law, I am the first heir, and the Iron Throne should belong to me!"

Stannis told Renly seriously the reasons for his surrender.

"Law? Before Hand of the King, Eddard Stark swore an oath in his name and that of King Robert before he died. Whoever can destroy the Lannister and kill the false king Joffrey will be the heir.

I believe that with his honor, no one in the Seven Kingdoms can question it.

His succession oath is more legal and more reasonable than your so-called law!"

Renly looked at his second brother, pointed in the direction of King's Landing, and said loudly,

"Do you know why I heard you besieged Storm's End and didn't send troops to support you? If Robb Stark were to take the lead, he would really inherit the Iron Throne legally and reasonably.

Therefore, I am ready to take down King's Landing in one fell swoop, kill the false king Joffrey, and then go to destroy Tywin Lannister."

"You want to capture King's Landing and annihilate Tywin Lannister? Why? Just because you are a group of noble young soldiers who only know how to play martial arts?"

When Stannis heard what he said, he could not refute Eddard Stark's oath of succession, but only questioned his ignorant brother.

"Haha, even if we are just one hundred thousand nobles and young men, we can trample all your troops to death with one kick.

Second brother, aren't you experienced in many battles? I didn't send any reinforcements, but you have besieged Storm's End for so long, have you taken it?

How many do you have with the strength of the royal fleet and the Florentine family alone? Five thousand? Seven thousand?

It must be less than one-tenth of mine!"

Renly sneered at Stannis and pointed out the problem of military strength that he could not avoid.

"Second brother, you are stubborn, dull, and boring, and you are not suitable for sitting on the Iron Throne!

Surrender to me, and I will make you my first heir before I have any heirs."

"For the sake of our dead mother, I will give you another chance. Lower the flag of rebellion before midnight tonight and surrender to me tomorrow morning.

I will spare your life and still keep your seat on the Royal Council. At the same time, I can also do what you just said as your heir."

Stannis didn't want to talk to Renly anymore and gave him an ultimatum.

"Haha, second brother, it seems that following this pagan religion is good for you.

At least...you are a little more optimistic than before!"

Renly didn't take what he said to heart at all, still smiling and joking.

"Lord Renly, what you said is disrespectful to the Lord of Light!

You'd better remember your sins, after all, the night is dark and everything is dangerous!"

As soon as Renly finished speaking, Melisandre spoke from the side and warned secretly.

After saying this, Stannis turned around and left with everyone, leaving Renly with a disappointed look on his face.

In fact, as Stannis was his beloved second brother, Renly still hoped that he would surrender and join him.

Shaking his head, Renly reined in his horse and headed towards the camp where his army was stationed.

Time passes slowly. Renly, who has an army of 100,000, of course cannot lower his flag and surrender to Stannis.

After midnight, Davos Sears, the 'Onion Knight', took Melisandre, who was wearing a red robe, to start his smuggling business.

He sent Melisandre to a cave near where Renly's army was stationed.

When Davos complained about Renly's army blocking the cave passage, Melisandre took off her red robe behind him.

Under her red robe was a concave and convex naked body, and... a huge pregnant belly that looked like she was about to give birth in October.

Katcha!

"Gods bless you!"

As soon as Davos put the oil lamp on the ground, he turned around and saw a woman with a normal figure this afternoon, with a huge pregnant belly. He was so shocked by the strange situation that his face was dull, and he subconsciously prayed aloud.

"There is only one true god in this world, Ser Davos!"

Melisandre slowly sat on the ground and spoke with a pious expression.

call!

Following her words, the small oil lamp on the ground suddenly became brighter than a bonfire.

When Sir Davos saw these strange scenes, he immediately backed up and leaned against the cave wall, trying to reach out of the cave.

ah!

Melisandre was sitting on the ground, posing as if she was about to give birth, shouting in pain.

Her huge pregnant belly began to struggle very strangely, as if something brewing in it was about to be born.

"Hiss!"

With a roar that was definitely not human, a twisted black shadow was born from Melisandre's crotch.

When this shadow like a black smoke was born, Melisandre's figure immediately returned to her original shape.

Davos, who was extremely afraid of this non-human shadow, vaguely saw in his face the appearance of his allegiance to the king, Stannis.

call!

An unknown breeze blew by, and the shadows drifted away like smoke, heading towards the camp of Renly's army.

Renly's army camp, in the king's tent.

Varys was coming to the king's tent alone, discussing some private information with Renly, and Brienne of the Kingsguard was beside Renly, helping him remove his armor.

"Your Majesty, if it is as I said, you can take King's Landing without killing a single brave soldier.

And Robb Stark still owes me a favor, and I can act as a messenger to win him over for you!"

Wallis stood behind them, folded his hands in his sleeves, and said with a smile on his face.

"Lord Varys, I am honored that you have thought clearly about joining my camp. Moreover, I also agree with your proposal.

I will make a generous offer, and you can help me convey it to Robb Stark.

As long as the Starks and Baratheons join forces again, nothing can stop us!"

When Brienne took Renly's armor to arrange it, Renly replied to Varys with a smile.

call!

At this time, a breeze blew, and the tent was blown open by the wind. A stream of black smoke entered the tent with the breeze.

Varys's eyes widened as he watched the black smoke disperse behind Renly, converging into a figure.

Bah!

Brienne, who had just finished placing the armor, turned around and saw the black figure who looked like Stannis, holding a black dagger, piercing Renly's heart from behind.

"No!"

The black figure floated away in the wind. Brienne looked at Renly who was constantly coughing up blood, and shouted with despair on her face.

Peng!

Renly fell softly to the ground, and Brienne rushed forward, her eyes moist, watching him slowly take his last breath.

Check, check!

The two guards outside the king's tent heard the noise and rushed in immediately. They saw Brienne standing next to Renly's blood-covered body.

"You must pay with your life for this!"

When the two guards saw that their king was dead, they pulled out their swords and rushed towards Brienne without any explanation.

But Brienne, desperate and angry in her heart, pulled out her long sword, faced each other, and killed the two guards in the king's tent.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

After killing two guards, Brienne dropped her sword, hugged Renly's body on the ground, and cried loudly.

"We have to leave quickly, they will definitely think that I collaborated with you to kill His Majesty Renly!"

The incident in the king's tent happened so fast that Varys only realized it now and immediately stepped forward to pull Brienne out and began to persuade her.

"I will never abandon him!"

Brienne easily broke free from Varys's hold on her hand, uu Reading www.uukanshu.com said sadly.

"If you die, you will forever be responsible for killing Renly. Who will avenge him at that time?"

Varys's mind turned quickly and he found a reason to convince Brienne in an instant.

"Yes, I saw that black figure looked like Stannis. It must be the magic cast by his witch!"

When Brienne heard this, she remembered the black figure just now, nodded and answered.

"Yes, it's Stannis!

They will definitely arrest you, I suggest you go north.

The Hejian Land is currently in a state of war, and no matter which of their forces is involved, they cannot extend their hands."

Varys nodded to confirm that he had seen it, and he gave Brienne a suggestion.

"What about you?"

"Me? Since the king most likely to bring peace to Westeros is dead, of course I will return to King's Landing!"

Wallis shrugged and replied calmly.

"Inside, I heard screams inside!"

A guard roared from outside the king's tent, and Brienne and Varys fled from behind the king's tent.

Brienne was very familiar with the camp. She took advantage of the chaos in the camp to find out that Renly was dead and sneaked out secretly.

After Varys and Brienne parted ways, he used his own makeup to modify his appearance and transformed into a cavalryman of Renly's army, riding a war horse to King's Landing with great swagger.
