Casting spells

"I would too!"

"I would too!"

……

In the blink of an eye, countless people knelt down on the deck.

Perhaps, as the famous French social psychologist Gustave Le Pen described, most of the time, people are stupid, short-sighted, and irrational.

Especially for things and phenomena that they can't understand at all, they either try their best to slander them, or worship them inexplicably.

Looking at those pairs of eyes full of fanaticism, Zhang Cheng's mouth drew an arc that was not easy to be noticed by the gap.

Just when he was about to say something, there was a sudden rumbling sound in the distance, followed by countless knights charging from behind the Stannis camp, and the camp was leveled in just a few minutes , Scattered the soldiers who had not had time to cross the river to join the battle.

obviously!

The "Old Lion" Tywin Lannister, who had been hiding in the dark waiting for an opportunity, finally couldn't help but make a move...

Accompanied by the shouts of killing, Stannis' army, which had fought hard all night, was almost collapsed, and a man who looked like Renly appeared on the battlefield, which instantly made the Lords of the Stormlands lose their sense of resistance.

When the sun rises from the horizon again, all the battles inside and outside the city will come to an end.

Stannis Baratheon, who claimed to have an army of 7 (actually only 5000), was almost wiped out, and finally fled the battlefield with less than [-] people.

"You are Ser Mason Asprin?" As soon as the battle ended, Old Tywin couldn't wait to find Zhang Cheng.

"That's right, it's me, Your Excellency the Duke." Zhang Cheng smiled and bowed.

After a simple greeting, the two looked at each other without saying a word. After a full minute, a very rare smile appeared on Old Tywin's serious face: "I have to admit, your performance is far from Far beyond my expectations, I believe you should understand what I mean, right?"

"Of course, Your Excellency the Duke. I can understand the reaction of most ordinary people after seeing the power of magic with their own eyes. But you are Tywin Lannister, so you shouldn't be the same as ordinary people, right?" Zhang Cheng blinked knowingly. Eye.

"No! Of course not! On the contrary, I value the power you possess, especially in this time of war. Oh, by the way, if I remember correctly, you seem to be engaged to Eero Tyrell ?” Old Tywin suddenly changed the subject for some reason.

Although he didn't know what the other party's purpose was, Zhang Cheng still nodded: "Yes, originally we planned to hold the wedding after the tournament, but unfortunately King Robert's death disrupted all of this."

Tywin stared at two light green eyes, as if wanting to see through the mental activities of the young man in front of him, and after about two or three minutes, he proposed: "Excuse me, Elo Tyrell is just an insignificant Side branch, I don't deserve you at all. If you don't mind, can I arrange a better marriage partner for you?"

"Oh? Why are you suddenly concerned about my marriage? Could it be..." Zhang Cheng dragged on deliberately, with a playful expression on his face.

You don't need to ask, although Lannister temporarily chooses to form an alliance with Tyrell, but this alliance is not stable, both sides are wary of each other, and various small moves continue.

As someone who possesses powerful supernatural power, he will naturally become one of the targets for both sides to compete and woo.

"Don't be stupid, young man, you should understand what I mean. We don't have much time, and you must give me an accurate answer before entering the city to hold an imperial meeting." Tywin urged with a serious face.

While saying these words, he even turned around and glanced at "Knight of Flowers" Loras and his elder brother Garland who was disguised as Renly not far away.

Zhang Cheng shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Duke, if you are testing my attitude, then I can assure you very clearly that as long as you are still alive, I will always stand by Lannister's side. But regarding Eero Tyrell's marriage, I will never go back on my word, because it concerns my ambitions and plans..."

Chapter 138

when - when - when -

With the melodious sound of bells spreading throughout the city, King's Landing, which has been baptized by the flames of war, finally ushered in the long-awaited victory.

As the ostensible king, Joffrey held an imperial meeting in the hall of the Iron Throne, intending to express his gratitude to the "heroes".

Of course, as for the content, Tywin Lannister had already formulated it and handed it to his daughter Cersei, and then Cersei conveyed it to her son in an obscure way.

The only thing Joffrey has to do is to share the benefits for the winners of the power game according to the list.

It has to be said that it is quite sad for a king to do this. Even the remaining command of the city defense army is not in his own hands, but in the hands of the Lannister family.

However, he himself didn't seem to have any opinion on this, and he still had a smug smile on his face and said to Old Tywin: "My grandfather, the shield of Lannisport and the guardian of the west, Duke of Casterly Rock, thank you for destroying the city at a critical moment. Rebels. In the name of the King, I make you Hand of the King and honor you as Savior of King's Landing."

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty." Tywin, who was riding on the horse, bowed slightly.

"And you, dear Sir Mason, you showed extraordinary courage and wisdom in the battle last night, and even stopped the rebel cavalry at one point. I now formally deprive the Florent family of all titles, fiefs and Income, transfer them to you, I hope you can continue to serve the king in the future."

When he said these words, Joffrey's tone was obviously flattering.

Because he is very clear that the power possessed by a person standing in front of him has nothing to do with power, so he is not bound by any rights.

"Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty the King." Zhang Cheng also bent down and bowed.

Although in his eyes, Joffrey is basically like a pile of shit, but as long as this pile of shit can bring enough benefits, he doesn't mind at all to cooperate with the other party to display his acting skills.

"Wait! Your Majesty!"

Just as Joffrey was about to announce the reward for the next hero, Loras Tyrell suddenly stopped him.

"Huh? Ser Loras, do you have any objections?" Joffrey's face flashed a trace of displeasure.

Loras Tyrell shook his head hastily: "No, Your Majesty, I just feel that this is far from enough to commend Sir Mason's achievements, and all the land at the source of the Meadow River should be added. After all, the Florens family and His vassals have all betrayed you and the kingdom, and they should be deprived of their territories and properties to reward the heroes."

"That's right! Your Majesty! The Florens family has always regarded themselves very highly, and they often disobeyed the kingdom's leaders overtly and secretly. I even heard that they recently abandoned the Seven Gods and converted to R'hllor, the Lord of Light. Such naked If the betrayal is not severely punished, more ambitious guys will soon follow suit." Garlan Tyrell also echoed.

You don't need to ask to know that the purpose of the two brothers' harmony is to take this opportunity to uproot the Florens family and its affiliated forces that have been against them.

You must know that the enmity between the two families has not lasted for a day or two, but has lasted for hundreds of years, and it has long since become irreconcilable.

Now that one party has been swept into the loser's camp, the other party will naturally add insult to injury and completely expel it from the River Bend area, thereby consolidating its leadership position.

Tywin Lannister glanced out of the corner of his eye at the real ruler of Highgarden, Olenna Redwyne, known as the "Queen of Thorns", trying to judge from the other party's expression whether this vicious method was Is it impromptu, or premeditated.

But and unfortunately, the thin and old Olenna Redwyne was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Apart from smiling in return, she couldn't see any inner fluctuations at all.

"But... won't this arouse the desperate resistance of the local lords?" Joffrey asked with some uncertainty.

Perhaps he has a huge flaw in his character, but it doesn't mean that he is a fool who doesn't understand anything, and understands how serious the consequences will be if a large number of nobles are deprived of their territories.

"Please don't worry, Your Majesty. As the supreme leader of the Riverbend, the Tyrell family will be responsible for eliminating all those who dare to start a rebellion." Loras gave a promise.

Joffrey hesitated for a few seconds, and finally nodded slightly: "Okay, then deprive the land of the Florent family and its vassals, and reward it to Sir Mason. Sir Mason, do you have any objection to this?"

"Hehe, no, of course not. Regarding the possible rebellion, there is no need to bother Duke Mason, I am enough." After finishing speaking, Zhang Cheng slightly raised the flint staff in his hand, and the meaning behind his words was self-evident. Metaphor.

"Don't be polite. When you marry Elo, I will be a family. If you don't need the army, we can provide other things, such as food supplies, armor and weapons." Loras Tilly Er said with a smile on his face.

"Since that's the case, then I'll be disrespectful." Zhang Cheng generously accepted the other party's solicitation.

Anyway, the Tyrell family has ruled the Riverbend region for hundreds of years and accumulated countless wealth, and sooner or later these wealth will belong to him, there is no difference between taking over earlier or later.

Seeing that Zhang Cheng didn't reject him again, Loras Tyrell looked very happy, turned around and bowed to Joffrey: "Your Majesty, I have one more merciless request."

"Oh? Tell me! You and your family have defeated the rebels. No matter what the request is, I can agree to it." Joffrey replied pretending to be generous.
