Daenerys made her case to the defeated Lannister and Tarly army by echoing her "break the wheel" speech.
Daenerys tried to convince the lords and men brought before her to bend the knee or die. She warned them that Cersei was the real danger, not her.
"All I want to destroy is the wheel that has rolled over rich and poor to the benefit of no one but the Cersei Lannisters of the world," Daenerys said.
This was an nod to the speech she gave to Tyrion during their first conversation.
"Lannister, Baratheon, Stark, Tyrell — they're all just spokes on a wheel," Daenerys said. "This one's on top and that one's on top and on and on it spins, crushing those on the ground. I'm not going to stop the wheel. I'm going to break the wheel."
Daenerys wants to be a revolutionary, which will mean steering clear of the mistakes her father made and approaching war differently than Cersei.
