iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 616: Despicable Dwarf

He almost thought his neck was going to be broken, but Tyrion raised his hand without changing his expression and stopped Jaime who was about to come over.

Then, he smiled at Gerrit and said, "Sir, the giants are going back to visit their relatives, not to be evacuated by me. At least they will not listen to me obediently."

Glancing down at Grete's hairy hands, he smiled slightly: "According to Kleber's military law, if you offend me like this, I can chop off your head at any time."

Ser Gerrit stared at Tyrion. After a stalemate, Jaime came over and said, "Men, now is not a good time for infighting."

He patted Gerrit's hand and said, "Let him go, sir. We are in the same group."

Grett took a few deep breaths, loosened his hand as James exerted force, and then snorted heavily.

Tyrion stepped on the ground and staggered a few steps awkwardly, only avoiding falling with the timely support of Ser Bronn.

Meeting Master Tyrion's contemptuous gaze, Bronn grinned and said, "Master, I am at your service."

Then he turned to the other side and said in a flattering manner: "Your Excellency James, I will obey your orders as well."

It was obvious that Jaime's gold dragons seemed to be endless, while Tyrion himself... had already emptied his pockets.

The mercenary cruelly hurt the dwarf's feelings...

Tyrion adjusted his collar slightly, took a step forward, and stared at Gretel, who was still furious. "Sir, I am the lieutenant appointed by His Majesty Green. You must obey my orders."

After a pause, he put his hands behind his back and continued, "Before Stannis launches his next siege, we will temporarily retreat north of the Wall, all of us, including the horses."

boom.

Sir Gerrit sat down on the wooden box next to him, shook his head and said, "I refuse your order. My mission is to guard Eastwatch. This is the order given to me by Sir Mason Baker."

He could use Tyrion's order as an excuse, but he could never do that. His son was being trained as a knight's squire at the Baker family...

If he was lucky enough, his son might even become the squire of Sir Mason's heir...

Therefore, no matter what the truth is, his act of "escape" will make his son unable to hold his head up in the Kleber Legion forever.

He would rather die in battle, not only for the honor of a soldier, but also for the son he loved.

After a pause, Ser Gerrit looked around and said, "You can take them all except me, Lord Tyrion."

Hearing this, Tyrion felt a toothache.

Jaime stepped closer, patted Gretl's shoulder, and moved his eyes over: "Tyrion, the north is still too dangerous. We can rob a ship at the dock, and my people and I will take you aboard safely."

Tyrion scratched his messy hair. At that time... seeing that Stannis chose to attack the city frantically regardless of casualties, he persuaded the giants to retreat to the north temporarily, because they were his "gift" to the Green. This was his selfish motive.

In order to increase his chances of finding Tessa, he was willing to be selfish, and dwarfs are mean...

But he was still too optimistic. He felt that even if he left Eastwatch by the Sea to Stannis, as long as he maintained a certain level of combat power, he would definitely find a chance to retake the fortress.

Stannis cannot leave a large force garrisoned at Eastwatch-by-the-Sea, because...his biggest rival now is the warlike Lord of Winterfell and the Northern cavalry who once embarrassed the old lion.

It was obvious that Jaime and Gretel were determined to die in battle, but he still looked down on the honor of a knight. The despicable dwarf thought... if given a choice, everyone would choose to survive like him.

Tyrion's strange-colored eyes swept across the relaxed faces of Jaime and Gerrit. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to join this group of suicidal people.

He should have survived. He came here to save the world and find his lost wife...

If he died here, would Green still keep his promise? Obviously, he would definitely keep his promise, even though that man was cruel and hard-hearted.

What would he face if he failed to retake Eastwatch after his evacuation? Don't forget that he was also a member of the Kleber Legion.

According to his understanding of Green, perhaps, after understanding the reason... at least... he should be given a chance to redeem himself. After all, he felt that even Green would not have expected Stannis to suddenly go crazy.

Trust your own judgment, do you want to gamble?
But Green's wife was a Targaryen, and he was a Lannister, so he naturally bore the responsibility for the evil deeds that the old lion had committed.

Would Green use this as an excuse to hang him, a dwarf from the Lannister family, with justification?
If so, how will Green treat Tessa?
He didn't dare to gamble. The despicable dwarf didn't believe in anyone's kindness.

Perhaps he should have died here and left a touching suicide note to impress Green to shelter his poor wife.

Thinking of this, Warrior Tyrion suddenly felt relaxed. For his Tysha, he was willing to pay any price...

However, the despicable dwarf was actually very afraid that he would not be able to get Tessa's forgiveness, and he didn't know how to confess to her...

Although it wasn't the best choice, leaving Tessa with a "legacy" of a despicable dwarf was actually a better outcome for her.

Perhaps, this is the most perfect ending.

……

Tyrion stretched his short arms and said with a grin, "Well, my two knights, my warriors, your dwarf commander is very pleased with your immense courage."

He bowed towards them, his tone becoming sincere: "For the previous... um... test, I'm very sorry about this."

He raised his voice. "In the south, the king and queen have just been crowned. If anyone were to lick the boots of the traitor Stannis just to save his life, it would be the greatest shame for Crabbe's army."

He grinned. "I must see that no one falls alive into Stannis's hands. That includes me, your dwarf commander."

Sir Gerrit and the other blue robes were all stunned, and then someone started shouting, "Die in battle!"

Everyone shouted, "Die in battle! Die in battle! Die in battle!"

"Long live the king!"

"Long live the King! Long live the King! Long live the King!"

"Tyrion!"

"Tyrion! Tyrion! Tyrion!"

……

After receiving the cheers from the blue robes, Tyrion raised his hand to suppress them and said loudly: "My warriors, please prepare for our final battle!"

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

Then, Tyrion smiled at them gracefully: "Before this sacred moment arrives, as your commander, I will write down our most loyal last words and tell our King Green that his most loyal warriors have upheld the honor of Crab with swords and blood!"

Grete's face flushed red, and he led the crowd in shouting, "Kleber! Kleber! Kleber!"

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

……

Ignoring Jaime's suspicious look, Tyrion motioned for Ser Bronn to follow, and limped into the tower.

……

……

After writing his last letter that could move the Seven Gods, Tyrion recommended the only "outsider" here, Ser Bronn, as the messenger.

then.

As the dwarf, holding two hatchets, stood on the city wall with the determination to die, the Seven Gods played a little joke on him.

Last time it was King’s Landing.

This time, it seems as if history is repeating itself...

In that siege, when the fortress held by Tyrion was about to be breached, Stannis's army was defeated by the surprise attack of the Old Lion's reinforcements.

now.

Standing at the crossroads of fate, he saw the banner of the Duke of Highgarden.

The flags were like waves and the gorgeous roses were like flowing rivers, cascading over the snow-white hills in the distance.
