Chapter 411: I am Sending You Ho
WILOW-Ch.411: I am Sending You Ho
Golden Tooth, Westerlands
POV of Doric Bolton
Soon after his talk with Lyra, Doric called for a eting with the lords from North, Vale, and Riverlands, who also managed to form an army of their own now.
The Riverlands army mainly consisted of the Freys, the Mootons, the Mallisters, and a few other houses that didn’t or couldn’t co to Edmure Tully’s support when the Lannisters destroyed him.
All in all, the Riverlands had about 14,000 n in their army. It didn’t seem much compared to the North’s 34,000 or the Vale’s 24,000, but it was good enough considering what the Riverlands went through.
Once the lords had taken their seats, he rose and explained the situation to them.
"Stannis has killed Ser Jamie and has taken over the walls. Unfortunately for him, his fleet was chased off, so he doesn’t have much food to feed his army. He has yet to take the Red Keep, which Queen Regent Cersei is still ruling. The Tyrell cavalry has surrounded the city, and the rest of the army will arrive soon enough. But judging by their past actions, I don’t think the Tyrells would give the command of their army to anyone else who might be more capable."
"Like Lord Randyll Tarly." Robb Stark muttered, and he nodded.
"Indeed. And considering how neither Loras Tyrell nor Garlan Tyrell has participated in any real war, it’s unlikely that they’ll succeed in taking the city from soone as experienced as Stannis any ti soon. In fact, I have a feeling that when we reach King’s Landing, the Tyrells would still be outside the walls without having accomplished much."
The n in the table laughed at his words.
He didn’t tell them that if they were in the Tyrells’ place, then they would probably be in a similar position.
After all, Stannis was a formidable commander and had never lost a battle in his life so far.
"I would suggest that we secure our supply route and move out for King’s Landing as soon as possible." He said, "The sooner we reach there, the sooner we’ll be able to take King’s Landing and the sooner we’ll be able to end this war."
The n in the table cheered at his words, and they left Golden Tooth the next morning.

Doric enlarged the dead sheep back to its normal size and threw it on the ground in front of him.
A few seconds later, Kilgharrah flew down from above and landed on top of the sheep.
Kilgharrah sniffed the carcass and moved it with his talons before he picked it up with his jaw and threw it in the air, letting out a large plu of fla before he tore the sheep apart and ate it within a few minutes.
"He’s growing fast," Ygritte said as she stared at Kilgharrah in fascination.
Kilgharrah turned toward them and allowed Ygritte to pat his head a few tis before he turned around and flew away.
"He is." He nodded with a frown, "Too fast even. I had not anticipated that he would grow at such a fast rate."
"You look worried," Ygritte said.
"Not worried. Not really." He said, "But soon enough, this suitcase will beco too small for Kilgharrah. Plus, he needs to go out. Fly in the real world. Learn how to hunt on his own and all that."
"You want to take him out?" Ygritte asked.
"Yes." He replied, "Not here, though. The lords here are already intimidated by
as it is. A little fear isn’t bad as a deterrent, but if you frighten soone to the point of being helpless, they may respond desperately."
"Are you worried that they will oppose your imperial claims and wage war against you?" Ygritte asked.
He scoffed, "Even if all the armies of Westeros united to wage war against , I would not fear them. I now possess a power they cannot overco. But I fear that so people secretly tried to assassinate Kilgharrah while he was still young.""
Ygritte nodded and nibbled on his ear, making his cock twitch in response as he snaked his arm around her waist and pulled her toward him.
"I’m thinking about sending you ho." He said.
Ygritte frowned at his words, "You can still use an archer like . The war has not ended in case you’ve forgotten."
He smiled, "I could indeed use an archer like you. But I need to let Kilgharrah out of this place soon. And I won’t be able to do so anywhere else except for the Lonely Hills in my lands, where people might mistake it for a wyvern." He said, "And soone needs to be there to take care of Kilgharrah."
"He can take care of himself. He’s a big boy now." Ygritte said.
"Perhaps. He might look big, but he’s not even a year old." He said, "And we’re not debating on this, Ygritte. This is an order. From your emperor and your husband."
Ygritte scoffed but didn’t protest. She hugged him, and they watched Kilgharrah fly in circles in the stadium-sized area that now seed too small for him.
He could already ride and fly on Kilgharrah if he wanted to. But he would allow Kilgharrah to grow a bit more before going for the first dragon flight.
Or his second one, if the flight on the back of the dragon that they rescued from Gringotts counted.

The Northern and Vale army had captured about 2000 n from he had routed in the last battle or who had deserted their posts but were foolish enough to be captured by the approaching army.
The argunt about what to do with these n was debated for a good while before it was finally decided that half of them would be sent to the wall to join the Night’s Watch for life, and the other half would be sent to Dragonstone to mine the Dragonglass for the next 10 years.
After that ca the dilemma of who would take these n to the North and to Dragonstone.
Considering the fact that he had the second-largest fleet in the whole of Westeros, everyone turned toward him, and he readily accepted this with the excuse that he also needed to send his wounded soldiers back ho so that they could get so proper treatnt.
The next day, Ser Barristan Selmy left with 1000 captives and 500 n to Maidenpool, where he’ll climb on the ships from the Bolton fleet and go to Dragonstone, while Ygritte will join another ship with 1000 captives and 500 n and take them to Eastwatch-by-the-Sea, where they’ll be inducted into Night’s Watch before returning ho.
