The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

"You want the West to surrender, I want to hear your terms." Tai Wen said.

"Kaiyan City is broken, there is no one in the Western Realm who still has the intent to fight, Master Taiwen, you better think about it." Ed said coldly, "Golden Tooth City is just an isolated city, and the coalition forces have found their way into the Western Realm."

"First exchange the hostages, let me have a lord's account to the nobles in the west, and then I surrender."

"Surrender, the hostages will naturally be released."

"What about the Cersei family?"

"Cersei needs a trial."

"Yes!" Tai Wen said indifferently.

The real Tywin doesn't care too much about the life and death of his children. The interests of the Lannister family are above all else.

"I only have one request. The West Territory still belongs to Lannister."

Ed agrees!

James of Tywin made up his mind. If the trial is not good for Cersei, he will ask for a trial by force. The best outcome is to defeat the opponent and prove Cersei’s innocence. The other best outcome is to fight Cersei. Xi died together.

The honor of the family is not as high as Cersei in James's heart.

Regarding family, honor, and wealth, James and his father Tywin had completely opposite views.

He can give up everything for Cersei, because the honorable family wealth that his father values ​​most are nothing but illusions.

"Give me one day, I will come out tomorrow to surrender." Tai Wen said.

Ed saw Tywin saying the word surrender, as if he felt relieved.

After the war is over, he can really see Cersei, whether in the trial seat or in the hostage exchange. Once there is peace, he also has the right to ask to see Cersei.

Ed Stark agreed to Tai Wen's request: "Master Tai Wen, I will give you one day, but my Siege Engine team will not withdraw."

"Whatever you want!" Tai Wen said lightly.

Regardless of your equipment team, do it as long as you like.

Tai Wen of Golden Tooth City surrendered, and the last bit of fighting intent left in the hearts of the soldiers of the Western Territory would be wiped out.

Since the outbreak of the war, the West has invaded the Hejianland and has been invincible all the way. He has taken half of the Hejianland's land and captured half of the Hejianland's castle. The Duke of Horst and Edmund and his son can only hold on to Runaway City. , Dare not play. The Duke of Taiwen deployed suspicious soldiers in the Green Fork River, and he quietly led the elite soldiers to attack King's Landing. This was a good military strategy, but because the Duke of Taiwen was killed by the shadow and the troops were burned in the woods, the situation took a turn for the worse.

Afterwards, Symon Templeton, the vanguard of the valley, led three hundred valley cavalrymen to attack Lannister at night and a great victory. Lannister, who was stationed at the Green Fork River, was defeated by this battle and fled in the dark. The rout of the Hejian Land began. In order to fear that the defenders of the city would go out of the city to intercept, the Lannister army had to return to the city of Golden Tooth overnight.

The city of Golden Tooth was solid, but Will was hiding from Ed Stark and persuaded Robb Stark to take the ice wolves to find a path into the mountain. There were only five hundred Ash Warriors and five hundred soldiers from the North. Attacked Oxford, slaughtered 10,000 Lannister recruits, and took advantage of the opportunity to take the Western Capital Kaiyan City.

Since then, the nobles in the West have no war in their hearts.

Kaiyan City is the capital of the Western Territory, and it is also a temporary palace after King Joffrey I became king. There are sons of various nobles in the city as courtiers of King Joffrey. After the fall of the city, these noble descendants became hostages.

The only remaining nobles don’t want their children and heirs to be killed again-the fire in the Lake of Tears has already burned too many noble patriarchs and their heirs, and none of the newly appointed patriarchs want their own. The heir is gone again.

It was in this situation that Kaivon Lannister decided to surrender to the West to stabilize the situation and restore vitality. If you insist on fighting, the nobles in the West will finally abandon Lannister.

There is no doubt that Kaifeng's decision was very wise.

In history, Lannister has repeatedly surrendered to the enemy, and finally rises again. Instead of being abandoned by the nobles of the West, it is better to comply with everyone's public opinion and surrender first. Lannister is still the lord and authority of the West.

Ed gave Lannister a day to prepare for surrender, and on this day, Kevon only did one thing, which was to fly the raven: first, the St. Belle's Basilica, where the secret ally reigns, and then across the narrow sea. The Iron Vault; the Mercenary Navy of Tylosi; the Mercenary Corps of Rees; the ally of the Iron Islands Baron Greyjoy; the Duke of Lanly and the Duke of Tyrell in the High Court, and the lord of the cities in the west And the proxy city lord-after many city lords in the west were burned to death, the proxy city lord of those castles became the new city lord.

Kevon made sure that the nobles loyal to Lannister and his allies understood in their hearts that surrendering was actually a stopgap measure, and that he also bought ample preparation time for the overseas legions hired by Lannister.

One day, let Kaifeng have enough time to release the raven and spread the letter everywhere.

Although the Western Territory was defeated, it planted a fire that would resurrect at any time.

*

Will stationed in Kaiyan City also received Kaivon's raven. At the same time, he also received two other letters, one from Ed Stark and the other from Varys on the other side of the narrow sea. Although Varys's letter has changed hands several times, Will is not at all worried that the content of the letter will be stolen, because this letter can't be read at all except Arya and him.

The cipher letter in this world was pioneered by Will.

Kevon wrote to Will very humble. He said that the West is ready to surrender. He admires Will’s military talent very much and hopes to become his best friend in the future. There are several gold mines in the mountains of Golden Tooth City. He thought The mine with the richest gold mine was presented to the Black Army Corps of the Great Wall, and promised that the West Territory would fully support the materials, armaments and manpower of the Black Army Corps of the Great Wall in the future.

Kaifeng's letter is a very low-profile gesture of favor and a heavy benefit to Wilsh.

After reading Kavon’s letter, Will did not reply to Kavon.

The raven flew from Kaiyan City to Golden Tooth City in the west, one back and forth a day, no problem.

Then there is Ed’s letter. It says that Lannister in the West has decided to surrender, but Lannister is not credible. He hopes Will not take it lightly. The letter praises Will’s night raid on Oxford and the occupation of Kai. The supreme honor of Rock City, Ed did not disclose this in the army for Will's violation of military discipline, and the nobles and officers of the three places still think that it is Ed's peculiar trick.

The letter said that the punishment that Will and Robb must face for violating the military order will not be made public in the military.

Will smiled knowingly.

Ed Stark is not incapable of being smooth, he also knows how to be flexible.

The third letter is from Varys. He has already released the news that he has purchased the dragon egg fossil at a high price. He has already bid farewell to the Governor of Pantos, Illio Mopatis, and go out of the sunrise gate of Pantos, along the Valyria Go east on the avenue and go to Dothraki Sea to pursue Daenerys Targaryen.

The letter said that Daenerys and the horse king Zhuoge Cao repeatedly defeated other Cao, and slaughtered multiple sheep tribes along the way, turning tens of thousands of sheep people into their slaves.

Will knows the sheep people-in fact, they are called Lazarin people, who were originally a peaceful herdsmen who lived in Essos. They live in Raza, southeast of Vis Dosrak, so they are called Lazarin people by the steppe people. The Dothraki, who used looting and warfare as their way of survival, despised the Lazarin as the "Hersilaki", that is, the "Sheepman".

The Kaohs of Dothraki often took goats into slavery, humiliated their beliefs, and overthrew their shrines—as a reflection of the importance of animal husbandry culture in the lives of the Razarin people, the gods of the Lazarin people are called Supreme Faun.

The Lazarin people have bronze skin and almond-shaped eyes, and they have the same ancestral bloodline as the Dothraki people, but they are shorter in stature, their faces are flat, and their hair is cut very short-this is the same as the Dothraki people rely on long hair. The custom of boasting about their combat power is completely opposite-the Lazarin people shepherd and farming, their language is beautiful, to the ears of outsiders, the birth of the Lazarin people has a distinct sense of rhythm and musical tune.

In Will’s memory of Daenerys, Daenerys is not a bloodthirsty Targaryen. She is kind in her heart and will stand up for the kind and peaceful Lazarin people to defend some of their interests and help Lazarin’s girl is protected from the Dothraki people—but that is Daenerys who has not changed the trajectory of the world. Now Daenerys, Will doesn’t know if she still has a pure heart.

Lannis Harbor.

Lannis Harbor, which has the best city garrison and a powerful fleet, seems calm, but it is full of storms.

The news of Tai Wen's surrender spread all over the city, and the only person who didn't know the news was Joffrey I. But he is very smart, and can always smell some dangerous smells from some unknown atmosphere.

Joffrey called his Royal Forest Guard and the five-hundred gold-robed guards brought from King’s Landing to his side. He saw the twinkling of Captain Manden Moore’s eyes and the weirdness of Marin Tran. Smile.

In fact, Marin Tran didn't laugh, he stood up coldly, just as he usually did, but Joffrey I could see Marin Tran laughing.

Because of Marlin Tran’s loyalty to the Duke of Tywin, Joffrey did not torture Marlin Tran, and it was more common to humiliate him. He knew that Marlin Tran resented himself. If Marlin Tran was laughing, That means something unusual happened.

"What happened? Sir Manden?" Joffrey's voice became jerky.

"Nothing happened, Your Majesty." Sir Manden said.

"I know something big happened, don't try to hide it from me, Sir Manden. You swore before the gods, you are loyal to me, the eyes of the gods are now looking at you, and you are swearing allegiance to you Your Majesty lied." Joffrey said sharply. Sharpness stems from sensitivity to danger and panic.

Manden Moore's eyes slowly turned to his king.

"Your Majesty, Mullen Lannister, the lord of Lannisport, has received a letter from Duke Tywin that they will kneel and swear allegiance to Ed Stark at dawn tomorrow."

"Allegiance to the barbarians in the North?" Joffrey stood up abruptly, his voice sharp and high-pitched.

"Yes, Your Majesty, in one night, the entire Western Territory will be surrendered to King Stannis I. Ed Stark is the hand of the king and represents the king. Duke Tywin has sworn allegiance to Ed Stark. , Is to pledge allegiance to King Stannis I."

"No, no, no!" Joffrey's little body began to tremble, "I am the only king, how can Old Dog Tywin be like this? I should have chopped off his head long ago." The child king said harshly, but his tone Very cowardly.

"Your Majesty, the minister would rather die in battle than surrender." Marin Tran knelt on one knee, drew his long sword, and swore to Joffrey.

There was a commotion in the five hundred gold robe.

"Will the old dog Tai Wen hand me over for credit?"

There was silence in the audience.

"I... won't surrender... who wants to be with me?" Joffrey heard his voice distant and hollow, and he was not sure what he was talking about.

"Your Majesty, we have to leave Lannisport." Manden Moore said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Baron, King of the Iron Islands, is your ally. He will definitely accept you and help you make a comeback." Marin Tran said.

"The St. Belle's Cathedral in King's Landing also swears allegiance to you, Your Majesty." Manden Moore said casually with a grim face. But his nonsense was right. The Saint Belle Cathedral had indeed risen in a very short period of time, silently, and they did have plans and arrangements to welcome Joffrey back to be the king.

"We have to leave Lannisport before Earl Mullen hands you over to Ed Stark." Marin Turan said.

Manden Moore and Marin Tran did get orders from Tywin, ordering them to protect Joffrey to the Iron Islands and wait for the future counterattack from the West. Joffrey is the best puppet to be the king of the West in the future, and he is justified-he is the successor of the former king Robert Baratheon, and the other kings are pseudo-kings.

"We have to leave quietly, Your Majesty." Manden said, "Actually, this is the original intention of Duke Taiwen. His surrender is just a surrender. As long as Your Majesty is healthy and safe, he can come back at any time."

Half an hour later, the unconscious Joffrey boarded a small boat. The boat was filled with rancid fish. The boatman's eyes were fierce, looking at Joffrey as if looking at a lamb to be slaughtered.

Marin Tran and Manden Moore also disguised themselves. They jumped onto the boat and conspired with the boatman at the stern, which made Joffrey very uneasy. The boat shook so badly in the sea that it seemed to capsize at any time. And beside it, there is a very large ship with luxurious decoration and no head collision. It is a large merchant ship, perhaps from a free trade city-state on the other side of the narrow sea, perhaps not.

Joffrey was lying on the boat, beside him, without the five hundred golden robe to follow, he felt like a person without clothes.

"Hey, chick, so pretty, come over and talk to me, I promise you will be delicious and spicy." A frivolous voice sounded over Joffrey's head.

The tall merchant ship next to him looked like a mountain standing above Joffrey's head, and a gorgeously dressed guy who was about to board the ship smiled at Joffrey on the shore with a strange accent from the other side of the narrow sea.

Joffrey was furious, and this dirty guy regarded himself as a moon boy or a male favorite to please the nobles. The anger gave Joffrey strength, he stood up and shouted to order Marin Tran and Manden Moore to go ashore to kill the guy.

Marin Tran and Manden Moore walked out from the stern, passed by Joffrey, and went ashore, as if Joffrey did not exist. From beginning to end, the two Yulin Iron Guards never looked at their majesty again.

In Joffrey's mouth, the boat had left the coast, raising its sails in the sea.

"Dollie, can you paddle?"

"What do you call me?" Joffrey was furious.

Snapped!

The boatman jumped over and slapped Joffrey's face with a fierce slap, almost knocking Joffrey stunned: "Dog bastard, but I bought you for a big price, what I say, you just obediently do it. ."
