White Harbor, in the secret room of the Tuna Tavern.
The scent of silver honey wafted through the basement, and a human-shaped Beguiler greedily inhaled the aroma, a look of intoxication on her face.
Naked, her beautiful body trembled slightly, causing ripples to dance across her pale skin, a sight that held the gaze.
At her feet lay the scattered corpses of several warriors. Judging by their appearance, they had killed each other. Their wounds seemed to have been inflicted by sharp weapons, and their deaths were gruesome.
The remaining four were essentially incapacitated. They were the strongest among them, and although they had killed those who got in their way, they were now close to death themselves.
Meanwhile, another Beguiler was draped over a young soldier, her body writhing wildly, seemingly in a state of intense pleasure.
"Alright! Number Two, stop playing around. Didn't we agree to go elsewhere? Why are you doing this again?"
"You were the one who said all that at first! Number One, I didn't say anything. Her Majesty, the Queen, already said we could enjoy ourselves fully. You go yourself; I'm not going."
"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You're just itching to get back there to see His Majesty Marco, aren't you? Too bad! You'll never have a chance, little tramp. The Queen is only the fifth consort."
"You'll never get close to him in this lifetime. Either you'll stay with the rest of us sisters, or you'll have to make do with these filthy humans, hahaha!"
Number Two said directly to Number One, her tone laced with mockery. Both were low-level Beguilers summoned by Mu, the Beguiler Queen.
These low-level Beguilers, though only around level 3, possessed terrifying blood-draining and charm skills. The charm skill, in particular, granted them a form of mass manipulation.
It was somewhat similar to a curse of madness, stirring up the desires within a person. The seductive sounds they emitted could instantly arouse any creature with lust, making them both enraged and volatile.
The most frightening aspect was its mass effect, influencing most creatures regardless of gender.
Moreover, they possessed the unique demon ability of illusion. With the aid of magic, they could transform into life-sized female animals of all kinds, though this skill was heavily influenced by magical power, and failures were common.
These Beguilers reveled in this state, "screaming with joy" alongside the creatures they desired to "sleep" with, before killing them and draining their blood.
Marco estimated that this might be related to the Beguiler Queen in Mu's bloodline, which gave these level 3 Beguilers such overpowered abilities.
Furthermore, these Beguilers, just like the crystal spiders Marco summoned, could continue to evolve. Mu in her Beguiler Queen form had only lost strength, but her biological level was still that of a level 7 creature.
Moreover, Mu, possessing a powerful bloodline, had an innate bloodline suppression over these Beguilers. These Beguilers would be under her control until the moment their souls vanished.
These Beguilers would be influenced by the residual soul power on the corpses, resulting in various personalities and behaviors, but their cruel and bloodthirsty demonic nature was surprisingly consistent.
Therefore, at Marco's suggestion, Mu created ten Beguilers to compensate for the Wolf Spirit's lack of manpower. These Beguilers were born to be excellent intelligence gatherers. After completing this mission, Marco would send them to King's Landing.
King's Landing hadn't yet reached the chaotic state of the original TV series, which wasn't good news for Marco. Only a chaotic King's Landing was what Marco wanted most to see.
This time, Marco also wanted to test the Beguilers' methods and assess their strength to see if they could complete their mission.
After these Beguilers were summoned, Mu, being rather carefree, numbered them 1 to 10. These numbers would serve as their names.
Because of Marco's unique bloodline, which was filled with the energy of a vibrant magic spring, and the faint trace of demonic blood in his veins, he was incredibly alluring to these little Beguilers. They were constantly trying to get into his bed.
However, Maeve saw all of this. After being disciplined a few times, these Beguilers became much more well-behaved. Mu also disliked these creatures who wanted to climb into Marco's bed, so when Marco suggested it, Mu immediately sent them to the "Wolf Spirit."
After restraining their behavior, the Beguilers' intelligence work became excellent. Mu also allowed them to "relax" appropriately during their missions.
Over this period, many Beguilers, seeing no hope, abandoned their initial pretenses, reverted to their true natures, and began to indulge their desires wantonly.
And number 1 was the only Beguiler who had been "persisting." However, after being mocked by number 2, she couldn't hold back anymore and walked directly in front of number 2.
Number 1 picked up a knight's sword from the ground and plunged it into the neck of a soldier who was still enjoying himself. The soldier's body stiffened instantly, making number 2 feel as if she were on a roller coaster.
Taking advantage of this moment, number 1 embraced number 2 and kissed her. Immediately afterward, number 1 transformed into her Beguiler form and inserted her tail into a certain place.
"Hmph... you little slut, if I can't have
For a moment, the entire basement echoed with the seductive chanting of the Beguilers. The remaining three soldiers crawled forward, using their hands and feet, their mouths drooling, their eyes filled with lust.
White Harbor, the Manderly family's castle.
Marco, having returned to White Harbor, stood before the window of his bedroom. Behind him, on the large bed, Moonshadow and the others were lazily asleep.
Mu clung to his back, reporting on the Beguilers' current activities. After returning to White Harbor, Marco had received the Wolf Spirit's report and plan.
After issuing the order for them to handle things on their own, Marco focused entirely on the expedition plan. Just moments ago, after finishing his work, he checked on the work results of Beguilers number one and two.
Perhaps some scenes were too stimulating; Marco couldn't resist and directly engaged in a pleasant "exchange" with his wives. In the end, only Mu barely held on, monopolizing Marco for a while.
Afterward, Marco went to the window to observe the city's movements. Mu informed Marco that the Beguilers had almost eradicated the five Brotherhood of the Seven Stars strongholds in the city.
A large amount of information had converged on Mu. Since Mu had absolute control over these Beguilers, she was also taking this opportunity to describe the progress of those Beguilers' work to Marco.
"So, the Brotherhood of the Seven Stars is pretty much wiped out now. I didn't expect Littlefinger to be involved. That guy truly rivals Varys.
It's a shame. He was a rule breaker, and now he's failing because of the very rules he broke. Quite ironic, isn't it?
When my army starts invading the Vale, I'd love to see if his schemes are still as effective."
Marco thought to himself after listening to Mu's report. His current goal was to seize the Vale first, using its advantageous geographic position to threaten the southern kingdoms.
The Vale was mountainous, making it easy to defend. The Andals also started their invasion of Westeros from here. It was thanks to the Vale's advantage that the Andals gradually gained a foothold.
The Andals drove out the First Men's forces bit by bit. Eventually, the First Men on the continent were either eliminated or converted, leading to the complete fusion of the two peoples.
In this process, the easily defended Vale gave the Andals a lot of breathing room. The defeated First Men mostly fled into the Mountains of the Moon, where they lingered until today.
When "the Imp" Tyrion Lannister was captured by Catelyn Stark and brought to the Vale, he was attacked by these mountain people. Eventually, he won over a portion of the natives and brought them to King's Landing. However, with Tyrion's escape…
These clan warriors had been sent back by Cersei Baratheon, the Dowager Queen of King's Landing. Marco had also dispatched people here early on, attempting to make contact with these natives.
Jero Graffson of Gulltown had received Marco's message in advance and had selected a group of clan warriors from the Mountains of the Moon as guides to facilitate contact between Marco's Wolf Spirit and them.
These clan warriors from the Mountains of the Moon were a significant force in the Vale. With their assistance, Marco's soldiers could accomplish many things.
Perhaps for ordinary rulers, the Vale was indeed a tough nut to crack. However, for a conqueror like Marco, who possessed four dragons and a large number of griffins, natural barriers simply didn't exist.
Thinking of this, Marco's mood became excited because with the fall of the Vale, all of King's Landing would be shrouded in his shadow.
This would bring Marco closer to his goal. After taking King's Landing, the entire continent of Westeros would be within reach of his fall.
The Riverlands had been utterly devastated during the "War of the Five Kings." The Riverlands, with nine out of ten houses empty, were of no use to Marco. Moreover, they could easily be cut off by the Westerlands and the Vale.
After considering all the factors, the Vale seemed to have become Marco's only choice. After so much preparation, the power of the Valyrian Empire was finally ready to extend southward.
"Marco, you seem really excited! Were those little brats' antics that thrilling? I won't let you off the hook, let's continue... ah, hmm..."
Mu seemed to sense Marco's mood, thinking he had seen something exciting again, so she spoke temptingly in his ear.
"What are you thinking? I'm planning our next move. It's not as indecent as you imagine. Alright, it seems like that wasn't enough, so let's continue, little girl!"
After saying this, Marco directly picked up Mu and subjected her to "punishment." For a time, the entire bedroom was filled with Mu's pleas.
Bay of Crabs, Three Sisters, Sisterton
More than a month had passed since the "Brotherhood of the Seven Stars incident" in White Harbor. After eliminating those little rats, Marco's forces prepared to march towards the Vale in a grand manner.
This time, Marco prepared 3,000 Maintainers, 2,000 Crossbowmen, and 5,000 Thugs. Marco had finally gotten rid of the predicament of relying on native warriors to make up the numbers, and he pulled together nearly 10,000 system soldiers in one go.
With the addition of Stannis's fleet, Marco also built a Narrow Sea fleet, which was also Marco's largest fleet at the moment.
Currently, Marco has three fleets. The Sunset Sea Fleet, led by Theon Greyjoy, consists of 30 longships and is the weakest. However, he has the support of the Farwynd Family of the Lonely Light.
With the addition of the Farwynd family's skinchanger sea monsters, they can barely reach a fighting strength equivalent to 50 ships. Currently, they are helping Marco defend the Sea Monster's Horn in the North, deterring Euron Greyjoy of the Iron Islands.
"Teleportation Mage" Euron is currently stationed in the Iron Islands. Because he has bought off a large number of Iron Islands lords, his kinslaying has been pinned on Theon.
After integrating the Iron Islands, Euron sent envoys to King's Landing and Slaver's Bay, preparing to hedge his bets to maximize his profits. Many Ironborn crave killing and plunder.
However, Euron has money. After spending a large amount of gold dragons, he barely subdued many unruly Ironborn lords. During this time, the Iron Islands are also frantically expanding their strength, seemingly preparing for a major undertaking.
The Trembling Sea Fleet is led by Mofford Velaryon. They are specifically responsible for defending the waters near Griffin's Roost. Currently, they have 50 main warships, including 10 large sailing ships, with the rest being mostly longships or oar-powered warships.
Fortunately, the Velaryon family possesses the dragon "Silverfire," which, to some extent, further enhances their combat effectiveness. Marco keeps them in the Trembling Sea to protect Griffin's Roost and the Vitality Magic Spring.
This is relatively important for Marco at the moment. He faces the Night King's army of Others in the North, whose strength and numbers are unknown, and Braavos on the continent of Essos, whose situation is also unclear. Marco can lose White Harbor and Winterfell, but he absolutely cannot lose Griffin's Roost.
The recently formed Narrow Sea Fleet was led by "Onion Knight" Davos Seaworth. Although he was a surrendered commander, Marco still entrusted him with important responsibilities.
During the Battle of White Harbor, the fleet didn't suffer any significant losses, though some captains defected to the Three Sisters. After reorganizing the fleet, Davos led the Narrow Sea Fleet in consolidating power in the surrounding area.
The Narrow Sea Fleet possessed nearly 100 warships, including 20 large sailing ships. The rest were mostly galleys and longships. Originally, there were many more, but after listening to Marco's advice, Davos implemented a streamlining policy.
He removed some of the dead weight within the fleet and sent some ships that were in disrepair to the scrapyard. After reorganizing the fleet, the Narrow Sea Fleet no longer had its previous scale, but its fighting strength and flexibility had improved.
Meanwhile, in the hall of Sisterton, Triston Sunderland of House Sunderland was pacing back and forth with his three vassals. The history of House Sunderland could be traced back to the First Men era. They once held the title of King of the Islands, but they disappeared during the wars with the Andals.
Like all the First Men, the people of the Three Sisters had once worshiped the old gods. However, with the passage of time, the faith of the Seven gradually replaced their original beliefs, and the legends of the Lady of the Waves and the Sky God gradually faded.
Only a few natives on some small islands still worshiped these two deities and performed bloody sacrifices, but recently, these forces seemed to be on the rise.
This matter also caused Triston Sunderland a lot of worry, but today, his mind was occupied by another matter, which made him even more nervous.
Thinking of this, Triston Sunderland couldn't help but cast a glance at a certain bearded knight who was admiring his iron gauntlet. His heart was filled with envy for the man.
Triston Sunderland found that Davos always seemed to have good luck, no matter where he went. He became the "Hand of the King" under Stannis, and after arriving in the Valyrian Empire, he surprisingly became the commander of a fleet. This filled Triston Sunderland with both envy and jealousy.
"Lord Davos! When exactly will His Majesty arrive? How should we prepare for the welcoming ceremony? Will there be any improprieties?"
Triston Sunderland's question calmed Davos's excited mood somewhat.
