Game of Thrones: The Drogon Voice

Chapter 157: Chapter 157: The March on Harrenhal



The other people who came to see her off also saw Daenerys' instructions to Yara, and Drogon letting the sea snakes follow Yara, and they all thought that they were a little too cautious about Yara's trip.

As the princess of the Iron Islands, it doesn't seem difficult for Yara to retake the Iron Islands with her abilities without her uncle Euron.

After seeing Yara off, the remaining ministers began to discuss the plan to capture Harrenhal.

After learning that Daenerys was about to cross the Narrow Sea, Varys has been collecting all kinds of intelligence that might be used in Westeros, including the largest castle in the past.

Harrenhal is now garrisoned by a hundred-man Crusade led by Storm Knight Bonifer, so it is nothing to be afraid of.

However, an obscure message related to Harrenhal had to attract the attention of Tyrion who was checking the message, and he quietly told Daenerys.

"Bonifer stationed at Harrenhal actually liked my mother?" Daenerys opened her mouth in surprise when she heard the news relayed by Tyrion.

Even Drogon, who was standing on Daenerys' shoulder, perked up after hearing this gossip.

Originally, after learning that there were only a hundred men guarding Harrenhal, Daenerys did not plan to go there in person, but waited on Dragonstone for news of the capture of Harrenhal.

But when he learned from Tyrion that Bonifer had loved his mother, he wanted to go there and persuade Bonifer to surrender.

Although he didn't know what the relationship between his mother and Bonifer was like, since Varys mentioned it in the message, he thought it shouldn't be too bad.

After Daenerys was born, her mother Rhaella died of childbirth complications. Bonifer was her mother's old friend after all, so she always had to go and see him.

It is not difficult to capture Harrenhal. What they are worried about is the movements of the King's Landing army when attacking Harrenhal and the Lannister army besieging Riverrun.

After making a good defense plan, Daenerys took Barristan and Jorah to the Crab Claw Peninsula to find the Dothraki Khal.

After more than thirty days of drifting on the poisonous water, the Dothraki rested for three days before they recovered.

After regaining their composure, they couldn't help but want to plunder the surrounding wealthy towns.

However, thinking of Daenerys' orders and the threat from the Dragon God, they dared not act on their own, and as a result, more than a dozen people had died in private duels.

When they heard that they were going to capture a castle, Jaco and others were very excited, and even the war horses in the distance neighed from time to time.

Looking at the light in the Dothraki's eyes, Daenerys had to reiterate the orders she had given them before: no looting, no raping of women, and no killing of innocent people along the way.

He also told them that the castle they were attacking was not guarded by many troops, and that 25,000 men would be left behind to prevent any changes on Dragonstone. This greatly disappointed the Dothraki who had just heard that there was a war to be fought.

After folding up the tent, Daenerys did not follow the Dothraki on horseback. Instead, she transformed Drogon into an adult, rode on his back, and led 20,000 Dothraki to attack Harrenhal.

Although the Dothraki war horses are very fast, for Drogon it is as slow as carrying Daenerys for a walk.

As soon as the Dothraki left, the King's Landing spies, who were a few kilometers away from them, rode back to King's Landing and reported to Cersei on the movements of Daenerys' army.

More than two hours later, we arrived at Harrenhal. Looking at the tall castle with broken walls, we could indeed see its once huge outline.

It's just that the damage is too severe and only a part of it is habitable, but this is nothing for the nomadic Dothraki people.

As they approached Harrenhal, Daenerys, riding on Drogon's back, saw a knight in his sixties with gray hair and a resolute face standing in front of the ruined castle, and nearly a hundred holy war knights behind him.

Looking at the huge dark shadow in the sky and the cavalry team of tens of thousands shouting on the ground behind him, the members of the Holy War Knights couldn't help but sweat in their palms, and their hands holding the swords even trembled slightly.

It's not that they are cowardly, but the violent vibrations from the giant dragon in the sky and the ground made them unable to control themselves.

After landing Drogon on the ground thirty meters away from Bonifer, Daenerys slowly got off the dragon's back and walked towards Bonifer.

When Drogon was in the sky, Bonifer and the others couldn't see that there was anyone on the dragon's back. Only now did they realize that Daenerys was also riding a dragon.

Watching Daenerys getting closer, Bonifer was reminded of the young Rhaella. Daenerys was six points similar to her mother.

"Your Majesty!" Despite the current hostility, Bonifer bowed to Daenerys, a Targaryen.

"Ser Bonifer, I came here specially because I heard you were here." Daenerys said with a smile as she looked at Bonifer.

After hearing what Daenerys said, Bonifer's resolute expression was slightly moved, and he said: "You are very similar to your mother!"

"Really? It's a pity I've never seen her." Daenerys could tell from Bonifer's eyes that he was telling the truth, and that she really looked like her mother.

Unfortunately, her brother Viserys never told her these things. Daenerys knew that Viserys always resented her for killing their mother.

"You really look like her!" Bonifer said with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

Looking at Bonifer's expression, even Drogon behind Daenerys guessed that he liked more than just Rhaella, and that the two of them might have had a romantic relationship.

Daenerys originally wanted to ask about her mother's youth, but this was obviously not the place to ask, so she could only smile and say, "Ser Bonifer, when I return to Westeros, my men will have nowhere to stay for the time being. Do you think you can give up Harrenhal for them to stay temporarily?"

"I am stationed in Harrenhal by the king's order. I am sorry that I cannot let your men occupy this place." Bonifer said with some embarrassment.

"You should know that the current King of King's Landing is not the blood of the usurper Robert, and has nothing to do with the Targaryen family." Daenerys continued to persuade.

Daenerys' words hit Bonifer sorely, as he had indeed sworn allegiance to the Targaryen family.

They submitted to Robert because he claimed that his grandmother was a Targaryen princess.

Now serving the young King Tommen is indeed against his original oath. It would be fine if Daenerys, the orthodox Targaryen, did not come, but now he has completely violated his original knight's oath and stood on the opposite side of the Targaryens.

"Are you going to watch these young faces die in meaningless battles for a meaningless sacrifice?" Daenerys continued when she saw that Bonifer was moved.

She didn't want to kill her mother's former lover unless it was absolutely necessary.

She had naturally seen what Drogon could see, that Bonifer definitely had more than just a one-sided love for his mother.

Out of guilt for her mother's difficult childbirth, Daenerys was not allowed to kill Bonifer.

Turning around to take a look at the Hundred-Man Crusade that had followed him to participate in the War of the Five Kings, of which only more than eighty people were left, Bonifer really didn't want their young faces to continue to disappear from his sight.
