Game of Thrones: Summoning the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 132 A Multitude of Armies Gather

Stannis has begun recruiting all vassals loyal to House Baratheon at Storm's End.

He also took Robert's bastard son, Edric Storms, as his squire. Lancel received information from Cersei that many families had responded to the call to arms and that a large army was heading towards Storm's End.

Furthermore, Salado Sunn, the pirate captain of Rhys, has also joined Stannis's forces with his fleet, making Stannis's naval power a force to be reckoned with.

He was lifting weights and rubbing his chin, lost in thought.

After a long pause, Crescent Moon spoke up: "If most of your vassals choose to pledge allegiance to Stannis, then I feel that your plan to let the High Sparrow go may have backfired, because Stannis's next step will definitely be to launch an attack on King's Landing and take the Iron Throne."

Fortunately, Rhys's pirate captain joined Stannis's forces to fight in Westeros, so at least they can no longer accept Rhys's employment, and our fleet can now roam the seas without any threat.

"Plans can't keep up with changes." He spat as he lifted the iron, having completely forgotten about Stannis, who had been silent for so long.

"Look at this, Brynden Tully of House Tully led his cavalry in a night raid on the Westerlands camp, while Tywin and Jaime have already retreated with their troops to Gold Tooth."

It seems both the Westerlands and King's Landing are in a rather unfavorable situation.

Crescent Moon then showed the second half of the intelligence to Lifting Iron.

"Yeah, they can fight like dogs, but they can't settle things so quickly. Sigh, if only someone could kick the North in the ass right now."

"Lifting weights," he said, frowning.

"No way, Stannis is about to march on King's Landing. Tywin Lannister and his young lion cubs are being defeated all the way from the outskirts of Riverrun to Golden Tooth by the combined forces of the North and the Riverlands."

Once Stannis takes King's Landing, hands over Cersei and that little brat, and the North pledges allegiance, won't the Seven Kingdoms once again be a vibrant place where everything flourishes?

Most people would think that the Lannisters are doomed, so would anyone stand up against the North at this point?

Crescent Moon said, "You'd better stop daydreaming: Forget it, anyway, the seven kingdoms have already lost a lot of soldiers. Once Brother Wei leads his brothers to attack, things will probably be easier."

"Sigh, I'm not only lamenting that the war is about to end, but I'm also worried that if Stannis marches into King's Landing, our plans to kill Cersei and that little brat will be left hanging." Lu Tie shook his head and replied.

"well....

""

Amidst sighs.

On the Iron Islands, far from King's Landing.

The ambitious Balon Greyjoy believed that the time was ripe for him to become king and carve out a piece of the North.

Through a series of victories, Robb Stark gained the true trust of his vassals, who then crowned him King in the North, officially breaking away from the control of House Baratheon.

In order to achieve victory as soon as possible, Robb sent his brother, Theon, his father Eddard's adopted son, back to the Iron Islands to persuade his father Balon to lead an army to attack the ports of the Westerlands from the sea and set Tywin's homeland on fire.

"Hmph, you idiot."

Baron Greyjoy rolled his eyes at Theon, who was holding Robb's letter, as if he were an idiot, and then issued the order to summon the Ironborn.

Amidst the constant curses of weightlifting, the candidate to kick the Northerners' butts emerged.

Essos.

Under the close ties of the Three Cities Alliance, a large number of slaves were conscripted into the army, and renowned mercenary groups from the trading city-states signed contracts with the three cities one after another, preparing to fight for the Three Daughters City-State.

The Iron Shield Regiment has 1,000 members, the Windbreaker Regiment has 3,000 members, the Flagbreaker Regiment has 2,500 members, the Banner Regiment has 3,000 members, the Courage Regiment has 1,000 members, and the Women's Group has 1,500 members.

These are all large mercenary groups with ancient traditions and far-reaching reputations, apart from the Golden Company. At this moment, they have all clearly joined the ranks of the Three Daughters City-State, preparing to fight against the Targaryens.

These large mercenary groups together numbered 12,000, and with the addition of two or three dozen other smaller mercenary groups that had been established for a short time, the total number of mercenaries reached 16,000.

With the addition of the 10,000 warriors of the Golden Legion hired by Taichu, the total number of mercenaries fighting for the Three Daughters City-State has reached 26,000!

In addition, the slave army of Rhys alone numbered nine thousand, plus the slave army of Myr of six thousand and the slave army of Tyros of five thousand, the three city-states gathered a legion of twenty thousand slaves.

Meanwhile, in the three city-states, Lys and Mill each gathered one or two thousand free citizens to temporarily form an army.

Telos did not, because Telos was an economic city where free people took pride in being merchants and considered war to be the domain of slaves; therefore, there was no army formed by free people.

Including the two thousand Unsullied soldiers that Taichu brought from Slave Bay, the total number of troops gathered by the three city-states has reached fifty-two thousand.

This army, regardless of quality, is only concerned with quantity, and its strength is comparable to the combined forces of the Riverlands, the Northern Frontier, and the Western Frontier.

However, when the intelligence reached Viserys, he believed that the 20,000 slaves were a complete rabble, and that the so-called 50,000-strong army consisted mainly of the Golden Company and the Unsullied, while the combat strength of the other troops was uneven and they were not to be feared.

Meanwhile, a large army was also gathering outside the city of Braavos.

The Braavos Legion sent 5,000 men, the Windblow Legion 2,000 men, and the Pentos Legion 2,000 men (the city garrison and temporarily conscripted citizens remained in Pentos).

The cavalry, including the Dothraki, numbered around 1,600. The total number of players registered to participate in the "instance" reached 7,000. Several major player guilds, each with their own fiefdoms, led 1,000 civilians on the expedition.

One thousand men in white robes and one thousand men in blue robes have been gathering in and around the city of Brass these days, declaring that the total number of mercenaries who have pledged allegiance to the Targaryens is four thousand.

These standing corps totaled more than 24,000 men.

The number of subjects conscripted these days has reached 20,000. Visser believes that the number of 20,000 people will not affect agricultural cultivation, nor will it cause the Targaryens to be at a significant disadvantage in terms of the total number of troops on both sides.

As of today, the total number of troops gathered outside Braavos has reached approximately 44,000.

In the original story, Viserys sold his sister in hopes of gaining 40,000 unruly centaurs to fight for him. But he changed that; he now commands an army of 44,000 men who are completely loyal to him.

Whenever he thinks of this, Visser wears a victor's smile.

Even though he has not yet reclaimed the Iron Throne, all that he has accomplished has already far surpassed the original owner's achievements.

Outside the city of Braavos, two squadrons of winged cavalrymen circled in the sky, while on the ground, more than 40,000 cavalry and infantrymen stood in orderly ranks, along with a mighty and majestic force of war elephants.
