"The Prince's Pass is blocked, and the Dornishmen have no way to attack directly from the land."
"This is the only good news among all the news."
The Mirahan set off from Old Town and rode the wind and waves towards the north. They would first go to Lannisport, then head to King's Harbor on Pyke Island, and finally reach the North.
The days at sea are long and boring.
Tyrion had nothing to do, so he took out the map and studied the current war again.
Now he has set off by ship, and Oberyn's army must have arrived at Highgarden, and is now surrounding this strong castle.
Compared to the vast plains of the Reach, Highgarden still has some defensive capabilities.
The High Court itself is on a hill overlooking the Mandeb River below. Roads extend in all directions, including the Corniche Avenue and the Rose Avenue.
Therefore, compared with the devastation of the Battle of Bitterbridge, Highgarden will not be so easy to defeat. After all, Bessie is a famous general known for his "good defense" in the empire.
This should be regarded as a hard nut that the Prince Regent's army is about to gnaw next.
The war will continue for a long time. Although the strength of His Highness the Second Prince's side is not as good as that of Horos, it will not lose too quickly. Tyrion actually has enough time to go to the north to ask for help.
And just as Tyrion said now, the Prince's Pass was blocked by an inexplicable black fog, which should be regarded as an unexpected surprise.
Because this directly caused Dorne, who had widespread support for the eldest prince, to be unable to exert any strength in this war.
However, in Hroth's opinion, even without Dorne's support, it would not be difficult to defeat his stupid brother.
"This is truly a game of thrones..."
Tyrion looked at the map in front of him that covered Westeros and some cities in the Eastern Continent, with a slightly complicated look in his wrinkled eyes.
Because as one of the few insiders, Tyrion knew that the battle for the inheritance that swept most of the entire Westeros continent and involved hundreds of thousands of people was actually just a Targaryen war.
It's just a game within the family.
...
The Mirahan then drifted at sea for a few days before arriving at its first destination, Lannisport.
Lannisport is a city on the coast of the Sunset Sea. To the west of Casterly Rock, at the intersection of the Riverwalk, the Golden Mile and the Coastal Avenue, Lannisport is one of the most important ports in Westeros, with frequent freight and trade exchanges.
As the name suggests, this place is naturally closely related to the Lannister family, because of the excellent fertility of the Lannister family.
According to legend, in the distant ancient times, the founder of the Lannister family, 'clever' Lann, was very fertile. He was a typical weapon with great skill, and he could hit with one hit. Tyrion's immortal talent may also be similar to that of his ancestors.
related to the bloodline.
In short, the number of members of the Lannister family increased from generation to generation, and even Casterly Rock City could not accommodate them. Therefore, some of the collateral bloodlines left Casterly Rock City and moved to a nearby village to live in, which gradually developed into Lannisport.
Oberyn led his army to conquer the West. After the empire was established, someone originally proposed to change the name of Lannisport to completely eliminate the presence of the Lannister family.
But after all, this city has been called by this name for thousands of years, so in the end it was settled.
And now Tyrion is revisiting his old place again. Last time he only returned to Casterly Rock, but did not visit Lannisport.
But the atmosphere in Lannisport City is not very lively right now. There are far fewer ships coming and going on the port than in normal times. Many shops on the streets have closed. Prices have begun to soar. People can't hide their worries on their faces.
Because now any beggar caught on the roadside of Lannisport will know that there is a war going on. A civil war has broken out in the empire, and the enemy is attacking the Golden Teeth City.
Fortunately, Golden Tooth City is a natural fortress located in the mountains, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is not that easy to break through Golden Tooth City. In fact, the location of the Western Territory in the mountains is a nightmare for foreign armies.
This is also the reason why Oberyn, who conquered the Western Territory, became famous.
The Milaham docked at the port and was loading and unloading supplies normally. The disguise was perfect, and Tyrion had nothing to do on the ship. He himself was not a person who could stand loneliness, so he wanted to get off the ship and take a walk.
He thought that this was the territory of his allies anyway, so nothing would happen.
So Tyrion got on and off the ship at Lannisport, walked around the city with his two guards, and then naturally came to a tavern.
Originally, Tyrion wanted to go to a brothel and enjoy himself. After all, he also had a reputation of visiting various brothels in Westeros.
But thinking that he still had an important mission and that he still had His Highness Aemon's handwritten letter in his arms, he was forced to give up this idea.
He thought about serving a few jugs of wine and then returning to the ship, waiting to get off the ship for some fresh air the next time he came to King's Harbor.
However, just as Tyrion and his attendants had just poured a few bottles of wine from the tavern and were about to return to the ship, when they passed an alley, Tyrion paused slightly.
Because not far in front of him, a man suddenly turned out of nowhere, with a bulging bag on his waist that seemed to be a weapon. He was swaying and looking like he was drunk and was approaching Tyrion.
But although the other party was well disguised, Tyrion immediately sensed something unusual.
"An agent of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
He would never forget this smell for the rest of his life, after all, King's Landing was still shrouded in white terror not long ago.
Tyrion was slightly startled in his heart, but he still did not show panic immediately. Instead, he turned his head and seemed to say something to the attendant beside him, but he secretly looked behind him.
However, Tyrion looked back, and his heart suddenly felt cold.
It turned out that he could see at a glance that there were two people not far behind him staring at him maliciously.
"Run away!"
Then Tyrion didn't care about hiding it. He knew that he was being targeted. Tyrion was very familiar with this group of agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
He yelled and ran away directly into the alley beside him.
The terrain here is complex and narrow, which may help him get rid of the enemy.
Tyrion's two guards were startled by his sudden voice, but then they saw the spies from the Ministry of Internal Affairs rushing toward them, and they instantly understood what had happened.
"My lord, leave quickly!"
The two guards were regarded as loyal men. They looked at each other and then drew their swords and blocked the entrance of the alley to fight with the spies from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
However, the guards helped Tyrion delay, but Tyrion was getting older after all. He ran out for an unknown distance, feeling dizzy and out of breath.
He heard the screams of the guards in the distance, and his steps to stop seemed to gain renewed momentum.
But then just as Tyrion was about to turn a corner.
A figure seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. He held a stick in his hand and slapped Tyrion directly.
Bang——
"It's over..."
And Tyrion was hit with a sap. He immediately knew that something serious was going on.
But there was nothing he could do, and then his vision went dark and he fainted.
