Game of Thrones: Summoning the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 142 Stannis's Strong and Well-equipped Army

Emboldened by their great victory, the army will naturally continue its advance and wipe out the three sister city-states in one fell swoop.

"Our army advances in three columns! We will wipe out the rebellious forces in one fell swoop!"

That's roughly the gist of it. In short, after a long, rambling speech, Visser ordered a three-pronged attack.

Led by Visser himself, a force of 10,000 men from the Royal Guard (Golden Legion), 10,000 militiamen, 3,000 players, and 2,000 White and Blue Robes, totaling 25,000 men, attacked Mil, pushing along 2,000 prisoners who had been incorporated into the suicide squad.

King Viserys himself served as the commander-in-chief of this route, with Harry, the former commander of the Golden Company and commander of the infantry, as the deputy commander, and Barristan and Jorah the Kingsguard as tactical advisors (the actual commanders-in-chief and deputy commanders).

The newly appointed Minister of the Navy, Commander-in-Chief Groley, personally led over two hundred naval vessels of various sizes, plus two thousand soldiers from the Wind Blowing Legion.

Five thousand militia, two thousand players, and one thousand conscripted militia members from the players, along with four thousand mercenaries, totaling fourteen thousand infantry and cavalry, attacked Ries.

This route was commanded by Prince Kagey and with Admiral Groley as the deputy commander.

The Braavos Legion Commander, Bloodbeard, led his 5,000 soldiers, 5,000 militiamen, over 2,000 players, and 2,000 members of the Pentos Legion.

Gillo's 2,000 cavalry, totaling 16,000 men, led 2,000 prisoners of war incorporated into the suicide squad to attack Telosi. In addition, the naval vice-commander Magnus led 60 warships of various sizes to assist in the attack.

This route was commanded by Bloodbeard, with Dario, the swordsmanship instructor of the Royal Guard, as the deputy commander.

The Targaryens will sweep away the three Daughter City-states with a fierce and swift attack, expanding their empire once again.

Meanwhile, across the strait, because the player killed Renly, Stannis, who originally had few supporters, was able to quickly take over most of Stormwind, and the army gathered around him reached 60,000.

Of course, because Stannis had too little support, many of the Baratheon vassals in the Stormlands chose to pledge allegiance to the new King Joffrey, and this side had an army of 20,000.

Of course, there are still quite a few families in Stormlands who try to sit back and watch the battle, or symbolically send their armies to join one of the two Baratheons.

At this moment, Stannis, who commanded an army of 60,000, faced a problem: if he was in a hurry to attack King's Landing, he would have to leave at least 20,000 soldiers behind to defend Stormlands, while he led the remaining 40,000 troops to attack King's Landing by sea.

However, Davos Seaworth, one of Stannis's advisors and a key strategist, believed that whether 40,000 men could capture King's Landing with complete certainty was a major question.

"My fleet still has several thousand sailors, and your pirate friends can also muster several thousand, making a total of ten thousand."

"Stannis said with a stern face."

"I regret to inform you, Your Majesty, that man would never risk sending his men to participate in a siege; he only does naval work."

To be precise, he'd rather plunder ships near King's Landing and the royal domains and blockade ports than even attack the small fleet anchored in King's Landing's harbor. Davos shook his head helplessly.

"Moreover, it is said that at least 10,000 soldiers have been gathered in the royal territory, and these people are all involved in defending the city. Together with the red-robed and gold-robed men of King's Landing, they are also a significant threat to us."

Seeing Stannis staring at the map in deep thought, Davos spoke again.

"Then let's deal with the families in Stormlands that refuse to submit to me first, and then gather all our strength to attack King's Landing."

Stannis clenched his fist and said.

"This is a wise choice, Your Majesty," Davos nodded.

"Send men to the Reach and question the Tyrells of Highgarden about why they have not yet submitted to me." Stannis's attention then fell on another corner of the map.

Although Davos did not believe that the Reach would choose to join one side so soon, he still chose to carry out Stannis's orders.

After Davos left, a woman in a red robe slowly walked up to Stannis from inside the room: "As long as you believe in the God of Light, the God will help you win the war."

This is a witch, a witch who believes in the so-called God of Light, Stannis thought.

He now commands an army of 60,000, and in Stormlands, his military advantage far surpasses that of the loyal, incestuous bastards. Stannis is confident that, with his military prowess, leading his 60,000 troops will be more than enough to sweep through Stormlands' 20,000 soldiers.

Once he has dealt with the disloyalists, his army will join forces to attack King's Landing. The royal families will be no match for him, the islanders of Crab Claw Peninsula will be unruly, and Tywin will be tied down in the Riverlands. Who will rescue the mother and daughter in King's Landing?

Stannis had the upper hand at this moment, and the Iron Throne seemed within his grasp. Why should he believe a witch?

The fact that he kept this woman alive by his side was already the greatest act of kindness he could show.

The Red Witch saw that Stannis remained unmoved, his eyes still calm and unchanging, but after a moment his gaze fell on the fireplace in the room.

To be precise, it was that ball of flame...

"I'll hang him! Who? Stannis, of course! I'll personally lead the army to defeat those who refuse to submit to me, including my uncle Stannis, who deserves to be burned alive like Uncle Renly!"

On the Iron Throne, Joffrey berated his courtiers like a clown.

The hound stared straight ahead, as if it were sleeping with its eyes open.

Of the courtiers, apart from Littlefinger, the rest were jesters that Joffrey had picked up from who-knows-where. They did nothing more than join Joffrey in cursing Stannis and Robb.

They're just making things worse.

The courtiers thought so.

"By this time, the royal domain has gathered ten thousand soldiers. Is there any knight willing to lead the army to support Stormlands and resist the traitor Stannis?"

Queen Cersei remained as proud as a long-necked swan, gazing at the nobles and courtiers beneath the Iron Throne.

"You dog! Go get Uncle Stannis's head! I'm going to impale it on a gun!"

Joffrey turned and pointed at Sandor the hound, giving the order.

The hunting dogs looked at him like he was an idiot...

Cersei reached out to stop Joffrey: "He has to protect you. Be careful, Joffrey..."

"Your grandfather and uncle will help you solve everything, but right now all you need is a vassal to lead an army to hold Stannis back. Once your grandfather defeats the Stark brats and the Tullys of the Riverlands, he will come back to deal with Stannis."

Cersei whispered words of comfort to the agitated Joffrey.

"Hmph, my grandfather? He's too old! He's no match for an army. Uncle Jaime? Hmph, he got thrashed by Robb!"

Joffrey acted like he was the most powerful person in the world, telling everyone to get out of the way, which gave Cersei a headache.

"I am willing to go to war, Your Majesty!"
