Four hundred and twentieth chapters dark arrows are hard to prevent
And I don’t know how many people actually listened to Tywin’s explanation, at least those missing messengers couldn’t stand up to prove it to him.
But with a burst of sparse applause, Tywin still used his own wrist to squeeze out the captain of the Kingsguard, who had little political influence, and he temporarily became the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.
It sounds reasonable that the king's father-in-law became the commander-in-chief of the army in place of the injured and comatose king.
They are all a family no matter what, and no matter how loyal the Kingsguard are, they are still outsiders.
Therefore, as soon as Tywin led the rear army and the new reinforcements from the west arrived, Barristan Selmy was easily relieved of his duties.
The other party only served as commander-in-chief for less than an hour, and then became a senior bodyguard again.
The coalition forces, under the command of Duke Tywin, returned to the Twins to recuperate, and then the cavalry of the Seven Kingdoms returned from the front line and brought another good news.
This time the White Walkers retreated completely, and it seems that they won't come back for a while.
The bachelors accompanying the army also noticed the change in temperature and predicted that winter was over and a new spring had arrived. The last spring was the 'wrong spring' in the year 281 of the Conquest Calendar.
The retreat of the White Walkers was like the mountain that was weighing on everyone's hearts collapsed. The crisis of doomsday disappeared, the haze above their heads dispersed, and everyone felt that their breathing became easier.
Some people even proposed to hold a grand celebration banquet and martial arts tournament in Twin River City to celebrate this moment of victory.
After all, it has been this way for so many years. His Majesty the King is very happy with his achievements and spends money like water, and his vassals are also willing to cater to him.
If His Majesty the King had not been hit by an arrow and fallen into a coma, he might have invited that King and the Dothraki to hold a celebration banquet and a martial arts tournament together to commemorate the sincere feelings of the two sides fighting side by side.
After the two sides celebrated with wine and words, whether they were at war with each other or sitting down for peace talks, it was something that happened later.
But defeating the White Walkers must be a happy event worthy of a few drinks.
If King Robert hadn't fallen into a coma, given his temperament, something like this would really have happened.
But it is a pity that there is no if in this world, Robert is still unconscious in the hospital bed.
As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Tywin has a pair of meticulous green eyes. His style of commanding troops is to impose orders and prohibitions, and he hates drinking and having fun in the army.
Therefore, he mercilessly rebuked the idiot who proposed this idea, and told him in a stern tone that defeating the White Walkers did not mean complete victory, because they had more powerful enemies waiting for them.
Tywin's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on people's heads, completely waking them up from the joy of victory.
Who is the more powerful enemy?
No need for Tywin to explain, everyone knows.
The enemy who can defeat the Night King will naturally be a more powerful enemy, and he still has a large number of soldiers on the other side of the Narrow Sea who have not yet landed in Westeros.
However, although Tywin's words extinguished everyone's joy and made everyone nervous again, overall they were not nervous about facing the White Walkers.
Because no matter how terrifying Viserys and his steppe cavalry are, at least they are still humans. Since they are humans, they can still communicate, while the aliens do not even give them room to communicate.
If they really can't resist the Targaryen family's army that engulfs Westeros in the future, they can simply kneel down and surrender. At that time, there will be no psychological burden and it will not affect the family's honor.
What's more, the alliance and Viserys haven't completely turned against each other yet.
Therefore, although Tywin poured cold water on them, the overall atmosphere of the coalition was still relaxed and lively.
But among the entire army in Twin River City, there were still two people who felt a little worried.
One of them is Eddard Stark, Duke of Winterfell, and the other is Stannis Baratheon, the king's eldest brother.
The two of them can be regarded as brothers in need. They have the titles of Warden of the North and Duke of Dragonstone but no territory.
They followed the Dothraki deep into the enemy's rear and attacked the White Walkers, so they knew how terrifying these steppe knights under Viserys were.
Moreover, they witnessed the power of the dragon up close and were worried about the future.
It's okay if they don't fall out with Viserys, but if they really fall out with Viserys, they probably have no chance of winning.
Moreover, after the two men returned with the army, they first visited Robert Baratheon who was in a coma. They were originally qualified to obtain the position of commander-in-chief of the entire army.
One is the king's most trusted brother and the next king's hand, while the other is the king's own brother. They also have considerable support within the coalition.
But because of Robert's absence when he fell into a coma, he missed the best opportunity and allowed Tywin to occupy the position of commander-in-chief, making it even more difficult to seize power.
And at this time.
The horn at the top of Twin River City suddenly sounded.
Woo
The melodious and desolate horn sound soon spread throughout the sky.
The soldiers of the coalition forces and the nobles of the seven countries came out one after another. It turned out that the Dothraki army appeared at the end of the horizon, so the horns were blown.
Rumble
The sound of horse hoofs rumbled, and the ground trembled slightly. The endless Dothraki army first appeared in the sight of the coalition soldiers like a strong wind blowing away flying grass, and then it was in front of them in the blink of an eye.
The Dothraki arrived at the foot of the Twin River City, separated by a rushing river and a tall suspension bridge.
The stone arch bridge of Twin River City is protected by two castles, towering city walls, deep moats and heavy oak-paneled iron doors.
Viserys still wore a suit of Valyrian steel armor and rode a white horse at the front of the array.
Then he reined in his horse and looked towards the top of the Twins. He saw Tywin Lannister, Eddard Stark, Stannister and others, but he did not see Robert.
Viserys frowned slightly, then held the reins with one hand under the city and asked.
"Where's Robert?"
"Let him come out to see me."
However, at this moment, the sound of giant crossbows suddenly erupted from the walls of Twin River City.
Bang
A spear flew out suddenly, making a scream that broke through the air at a very fast speed, and pierced Viserys who was riding a white horse under the city wall.
Viserys, who was under the city, raised his brows, his lavender eyes flashing slightly, and then he suddenly pulled out the Dusk from his waist and turned slightly sideways in the direction of the spear.
Click
Then a sword cut the flying giant crossbow in half.
However, at this moment, the dragon's painful roar suddenly came from the sky above his head.
Dozens of huge crossbow arrows were suddenly fired from the top of the Twins City. One of them hit Balerion in the chest, and the dragon's blood spilled on the ground.
