Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord.

Chapter 120 Letter from the Stone Steps Islands

Gavin sat in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion with a gloomy face. The messenger hurriedly walked in and saluted Gavin. Then, he hurriedly took out a rolled bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to the Blood Dragon Guard beside him with both hands.

The Blood Dragon Guard took the bamboo tube, opened it neatly, took out the letter inside, and handed it to Gavin.

Gavin eagerly scanned the contents above, his expression instantly becoming even uglier, and his heart felt as heavy as if a huge rock was pressing on it.

"Robert's assassin tried to kill Daenerys again!" Gavin was furious, his hands clenched tightly into fists, the joints turned white from the force. His eyes were wide open, and the anger seemed to burst out of his eyes.

After a moment, Gavin suppressed his anger, put the letter on the table, and said to the messenger: "You have traveled a long way and you must have worked hard. Go down and have a rest."

The messenger hurriedly bowed and thanked him again: "Thank you, Lord Gavin, this is what I should do." Then he stepped back.

After the messenger left the room, Gavin quickly ordered the soldiers beside him: "Call Hassan immediately!"

"Yes, sir." The soldier saluted and left quickly.

After a while, the door of the room was pushed open again, and Hassan hurried in. He saw the Blood Dragon Guards putting equipment on Gavin, and asked in confusion: "Sir, what happened? Are you leaving?"

Gavin nodded solemnly and said, "Not long ago, the Iron Throne sent someone to assassinate Daenerys. I'm a little worried, so I have to go back to take a look. Things here are now in your hands. Don't let anything go wrong while I'm away."

Hassan immediately responded respectfully, "Don't worry, sir. I'm keeping an eye on this place. But there is one thing I just received this morning, and I haven't had time to report it to you yet. There is something going on in Myr. In addition to hiring the Golden Group, they have announced that they are going to hire other mercenary groups to expand the size of the army."

Gavin frowned after hearing this and said in a deep voice, "As expected, the fleets of Myr and Tyrosh are no match for us. They dare not attack us at sea and can only cause trouble for us on land."

Hassan then said, "Sir, should we prepare for the situation in advance? Gather troops to the border area."

Gavin thought for a moment and said decisively, "Keep your troops in place for now and continue to observe their movements. However, we must strengthen the defense of the border and increase the number of patrols. If necessary, we can abandon some towns and wait until I come back. In addition, we must reorganize the prisoners while I am away."

Hassan nodded and replied, "Yes, sir, I will arrange it right away."

While organizing his equipment, Gavin said, "Report to me immediately if anything happens. I should be back soon."

Hassan saluted again and turned to leave. Only Gavin was left in the room. He quickened the pace of putting on his equipment, his eyes full of anxiety.

"Hiss"

With a loud roar from Blazing Shadow, its strong and powerful body suddenly shook, carrying Gavin quickly into the air and rushing towards the Stone Steps Islands. The strong wind was like a roaring beast, whistling wildly in Gavin's ears, and he lay tightly on Blazing Shadow's broad and warm back.

Looking down from the air, the lush greenery of Rees Island is like a green ocean, dotted with clear streams and waterfalls, gleaming silver in the sun. White sandy beaches surround the island and meet the azure waters, forming a charming picture.

As Chiying continued to move forward, the island gradually became smaller, replaced by the endless sea. The turbulent sea surface was like undulating silk, with layers of white waves. The sea level in the distance was connected with the sky, and the water and the sky were connected, which was refreshing. However, Gavin had no intention of appreciating this beautiful scenery at the moment, and just wanted to get back to the Stone Steps Islands as soon as possible.

The Chiying's huge and powerful wings flapped tirelessly, and each flap brought up a strong airflow, drawing a graceful and sharp arc in the air.

After flying for nearly a day, the distant Gray Gallows Island finally appeared in the hazy vision. Gavin patted Chiying's neck, and Chiying immediately increased his speed and flew towards the distant Gray Gallows Island.

At this time, Boris, Coben and others had already arrived at the Gray Gallows Island.

When they received the news that Daenerys was assassinated, they were filled with panic and worry. It was not until they came here and saw that Daenerys was safe and sound that their hearts finally settled down and they became much calmer.

At this moment, in the hall, Daenerys sat in the main seat, with Brienne in armor standing behind her, holding a meeting and discussing with several people below.

The atmosphere in the room was solemn, and the faces of the two governors and the bachelor were full of worry and seriousness.

Coben said in a deep voice: "The Iron Throne will not give up even if the assassination attempt failed. We must be prepared to guard against the sneak attack of the royal fleet and the assassins sent by the other side."

Boris on the side echoed: "Yes, but the main force of our fleet is currently in Lys, and we must be prepared to defend the island." Then he looked at Daenerys and said: "Madam, I suggest that you temporarily avoid Dragonfire Bay. It is vulnerable and difficult to attack there. As long as the channel is blocked, it will be difficult for warships to enter."

Daenerys looked at everyone with a firm gaze and said, "The usurper's little assassination tricks can't scare me away! I will guard this place with you." As if sensing Daenerys's inner anger, Viserion, who was lying on the side, also roared.

At this time, Harvey Strong advised: "Madam, you don't need to worry about the defense of the Stone Steps. Bloodstone Island and Grey Gallows are both easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is only one coast where you can land on the island. Even if the entire royal fleet is deployed, the fortifications on the high cliffs will prevent them from landing on the island. It is difficult for the royal fleet to capture any island in a short period of time. They can only choose to besiege it. Then Lord Gavin will definitely lead the fleet to rescue."

Just when Daenerys was about to say something, a loud roar was heard, and the sound seemed to cut through the sky and reach people's hearts. Hearing the familiar voice, she immediately stood up, a surprised smile bloomed on her face, and said, "It's the voice of Blazing Shadow, Gavin is back." When everyone in the room heard the news, their originally tense nerves suddenly relaxed, as if they had found their backbone.

The blazing shadow slowly fell on the open space in front of the city lord's mansion, and its huge body cast a shadow. Gavin jumped off the dragon's back neatly, with fatigue on his face, but his eyes were full of anxiety and concern.

Gavin ordered the guard who was coming towards him, "Go and find more sheep. Chiying is starving." The guard immediately bowed his head and accepted the order, and hurriedly ran to carry it out.
