The king on the Great Wall

In other words - for the time being, Robert only needs to bear the cost of bringing the army from King's Landing himself. The remaining 3 people, and more troops that will come soon, will be supported by whoever brings them!It doesn't matter that the king himself has no money, as long as his vassals have money and are willing to answer the call.

This is not a rogue, this is how the society of feudal lords works. As the eldest son of a nobleman who has received relevant education since he was a child, Robert Baratheon is quite aware of the legitimate rights of a lord - he is qualified to do so.Even though it is obvious that the problem can be solved by means other than war, as long as you choose to fight, no matter how dissatisfied the vassals are in their hearts, they have to obediently respond to the call. Whoever ignores the order will commit a serious crime of disobeying the emperor. The guy on this side can go to the other side to ask questions when he turns around.

……

Interestingly, several nobles of the Alliance of the Righteouser launched a mutiny this time under the banner of "protecting the lord". In the rhetoric of the alliance founders, they only recognized Jon Arryn's son Robert Allen. Lin is the emperor, and now the emperor is staying with his mother who is suspected of murdering her husband. He is in danger and needs rescue-it seems reasonable. The conflict between the mutiny and the peace lies in: Robert Baratheon They believe that Lysa Tully, as the mother and guardian of the young Duke of the Valley, is a "vassal" that he needs to protect; while Yon Royce and other nobles in the Valley refuse to recognize the woman hiding in the Eagle's Nest City. Possesses the status of "equivalent to a monarch".

The phenomenon of the public saying that the public is right and the woman saying that the woman is right can be seen everywhere in life... In the end, who is right and who is wrong, the debate will definitely be very exciting, but since one side chooses war, then things become violent and simple——Who Whoever wins is right.

The Riverlands-Royal army stationed at the mouth of the Vale of Arryn. Both armies set up camps within their respective line of sight. Trees were cut down to clear the field of vision. It was not crowded to prevent the possibility of being attacked or burned. When the rebels go out to harass each other, they can take care of each other-if the other party dares.

In addition, Robert arranged the hoarding of food and supplies near the crossroads tens of miles behind the battlefield, and allocated thousands of troops to protect them. At critical moments, this army can also be used as a reserve team.

No matter how much you despise Robert, the green hat king, the basic strategic and tactical arrangements of this guy who was born as the Duke of Storm’s End and the commander are still well-organized. At least Iger can’t find any faults. A cause for military enthusiasts.

After the army gained a firm foothold, they began to send out scouts and messengers. On the one hand, they scouted the battlefield and issued a call to order the Alliance of the Righteous to surrender obediently to avoid the disaster of swordsmen. Jun.Many families responded to the call, but Robert did not let them come to join the coalition forces, but ordered them to go to the territory of the core member families of the Alliance of the Righteous, and surround and attack these towns and fortresses belonging to the rebels.

Although he didn't directly participate in the "rebellion", the relationship among the nobles in the valley has always been complicated, and the bones are broken. Who knows if there are any traitors involved?Simply send it away... At this point, the beautiful arrangement of the green hat king made Iger admire again. How could such an excellent general lead the army become the king? Another good part that was misplaced by fate!

……

Although the Six Kingdoms have only arrived in the two countries, Iger has resolutely started the plan to visit many nobles in the kingdom and the river. Most of the nobles have no interest in the Chief Logistics Officer of the Night Watch, just because Robert is in the army, the emperor He was so arrogant that he insisted on meeting him politely, and after a few words, he began to tactfully issue orders to chase away the guests.After a few days, only a few nobles were willing to learn more about the night watchman industry described by Iger, and verbally agreed to visit King's Landing "if they have the opportunity" in the future.

Iger felt like a salesman who hit a wall everywhere, but he was not discouraged-of course it was impossible to quickly establish a deep relationship with a lot of nobles.As long as people are willing to see themselves in the face of the special status of "Night Watchman with the Army" and chat for a few words, so that they can recognize him in the future, the embryonic form of this "connection" will be initially established.And on this point, I actually have many advantages: For example, I am likely to be the first night watchman that most nobles have seen in their lives. For example, I have significant differences from the ancestors, Andals, and Rhoynar. Asian appearance, such as the rare plant fiber printed books in his hands, and a lot of new words and concepts in his mouth.

……

The third army to join the coalition came from the north, numbering nearly ten thousand, and led by Robb Stark.The vast and sparsely populated northern border can quickly gather 1 people for a small counter-insurgency and come all the way. Loyalty can be learned. Robert rode a few miles to meet his friend's son in person.Then there is the Western Territory Army, led by Kevan Lannister, the second-in-command of the Lion Family. Although the force is also only 1, it dwarfs the rest of the army in terms of well-equipped and bright armor, and Iger heard that ——Among the [-] people, more than one-third of the soldiers are not temporarily recruited, but are reserve troops who are trained in Lannisport on weekdays, which is a bit powerful.

Next came the ten thousand troops of the king's own family, the stormy Baratheon family. The commander was theoretically Renly Baratheon, but as one of the royal ministers, the king's brother, he was always by his side, The convening and other tasks are all done by the vassals consciously, so there is no need to repeat them.

5000 people came to the Reach——as the only feudal country with a population of more than [-] million among the Seven Kingdoms, it is obviously disrespectful to send such a small number of people, but fortunately, these [-] are all genuine cavalry, and the blue soldiers who lead the troops Dow Tully also explained that not sending too many people was due to the long distance. In addition, he also actively promised to provide all the follow-up food and grass for the coalition forces. Robert finally accepted this statement... As for Dorne Well, it's a place where they are willing to send Prince Oberyn Martell to bring thousands of spearmen. You know, even Aegon didn't conquer people when he rode a dragon!

The Iron Islands sent hundreds of ships, large and small, and a total of more than 1000 sailors. Iger only vaguely heard that the leader was a woman—after thinking about it, she could only be the heir in the mind of that lunatic Baron. His daughter Asha Greyjoy died.The soldiers who have seen her all say that she is a very attractive woman... But it doesn't matter to the night watchman. The only interesting thing is that the ships of the Iron Islands passed by Dorne with thousands of spears soldiers, so that Dorne's army still arrived ahead of the cavalry in the Reach without all the horses.

Counting the Dragonstone Island fleet and the Narrow Sea lords' army led by Stannis Baratheon, who had already arrived at Crab Bay, controlled Seagull Town, and surrounded Runestone City... Nearly a month after Iger left King's Landing, The armies and nobles of the Seven Kingdoms are finally here.Now, the entire valley has been surrounded by naval and army troops loyal to Robert, and there is a large army gathered outside the entrance of the Vale of Arryn. More than 8 princes and soldiers camped outside the entrance of the valley, and the flags fluttered like a colorful forest. A display of the king's dominance and a frontal battle against the unbroken dangers through the ages are finally about to officially begin.

Chapter 100

The Blood Gate is located between the cliffs on both sides of the only passage leading to the Vale of Ayrin from the Bright Moon Mountains. It consists of two watchtowers clinging to the rock wall, a closed graystone arch bridge connecting each other, and a series of battlements to reinforce the former two. composition.From a distance, it looks like a complete and huge rock has fallen from the sky and blocked the only way to enter the valley. Iger only took one look, and immediately thought of the famous dangerous pass in ancient China - there is a "one man guards the pass, ten thousand Fumo" Jianmenguan in the name of "Open".

Sword Gate and Blood Gate... As can be seen from the names, the way the two block the passage between the valleys is actually quite similar, but it is slightly different from the Jianmen Pass standing in the middle of the valley and "blocking" the passage into Shu. : The terrain of the roads before and after the blood gate is close to flat, not so huge ups and downs, but on the other hand, the closed building completely "blocks" the passage into the valley without leaving a single gap - if the defenders don't open the gate, even a cat Dogs can't get through.Although it also plays a role in military defense, it is really difficult for laymen to judge which of the two is more difficult to conquer.

In any case, the Blood Gate is indeed worthy of the title of the first dangerous pass in Westeros. With such a natural defense, how could it be possible to break through it when the defenders were well prepared?

Iger secretly doubted in his heart, but in the field he was not good at, he didn't dare to make random assertions, so he decided to watch a play.

He can, in fact, can only watch the show. As a "Night Watcher with the Army", even if all the Antler Fort troops that he follows and are "responsible" for his life safety go on stage and all die, no one will urge or allow him. Go to the battlefield by yourself.

This can be regarded as one of the few benefits of the night watchman.

……

The sun emerged from the peaks of the Mingyue Mountains, and the time for the army to take turns to have breakfast had passed, and the smoke in the air gradually rose and dispersed, and the attack on the Blood Gate finally kicked off.

Ballistas and trebuchets were the first to be activated. The army was not idle during the days when they were stationed outside the mouth of the valley, and produced a large number of various siege weapons, among which large trebuchets were the most.At this moment, these big killers in the backward era were pushed to the front one by one.They are lined up in a row, and if the Taniguchi is not open, it is impossible to arrange more. With the manpower and material resources of the six countries gathered here, it is possible to get thousands of siege weapons and smash the Blood Gate.

Under the officer's loud order, the arrows acting as spears on the ballista flew out of the string, and the arms of the large catapults also raised one after another. Stone bullets far more than spears flew into the air like money, and most of them It is difficult for an adult man to move it, and the small one is as big as a human head.The spears shot by the ballista did not achieve any results, but the stones flew across the clear sky and fell hundreds of meters away. Some small ones fell through the blood gate and fell into the gate, and more of them covered the city of the blood gate. On the head or the wall, those who hit the person immediately smashed the victim into broken bones, flesh and blood before they could even scream, and when they hit the wall, large pieces of stone chips were splashed. It gave people the illusion that "the whole blood gate is trembling".

The defenders also began to fight back, but both the attack density and the distance were far worse. Even though they occupied some favorable terrain, there were still few effective attacks that could threaten the catapult position of the counter-insurgency coalition forces. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it also makes it more difficult for the defenders to lay out large-scale facilities.In terms of firepower, the "rebels" have been completely suppressed.

It seems that the things thrown by the king's side are not limited to stones. Iger can see that thick smoke is starting to rise behind the wall of the Blood Gate.After several rounds of attacks, the soldiers on the defensive side seemed to hide in the bunkers one after another, and the attacks became more sparse.

……

"It's very imposing," Iger had to admit, but then what?

The reason why the Blood Gate can become an unbreakable dangerous pass through the ages is not only because a wall was built to seal the passage into the valley, the builder and his successors built a large number of solid battlements and towers behind the wall, making the entire defense system a A hill-like existence tens of meters high and tens of meters wide - even if it is smashed, it will still be so big that it will be blocked there. If the door collapses, it will be even more troublesome for the army to pass through!

Soon, Iger's doubts were explained.

After the catapults destroyed enough defensive equipment of the defender and suppressed their counterattack arrogance, the first archers and crossbowmen who received the offensive mission also appeared on the stage. While the catapults and catapults were still firing continuously , lined up and neatly advanced more than a hundred meters towards the blood gate, and soon reached the range of shooting, and began to shoot arrows.

Damn, why does this look familiar... Covering fire?Iger stood stunned in the distance. In his feeling, everything in this world is so backward, and there should be no advanced tactics in fighting.It is conjectured that Robert's method of attacking the Blood Gate is nothing more than relying on crowd tactics. The soldiers rushed up with ladders and tsunami, and then attached themselves to the gray stone wall of the Blood Gate, and then it was up to the defenders to see if they could drive them down , Guess wrong?

TV shows really kill people.

Just as he was dumbfounded unexpectedly, the drums began to thunder and shouts rang out.

***

The Blood Gate is located at the narrowest part of the passage from the Bright Moon Mountains to the Vale of Arryn. The space available for the attackers to use is too small. Eighty thousand troops are stationed here, and there are a total of more than one hundred thousand logistics civilians. There were no more than a thousand people who entered the entrance of the canyon to attack—this meant that most people could only watch the show like Iger, and at most they relied on shouting and cheering.

Amid the cheers of the audience, a team of hundreds of people rushed out of the camp shouting neatly. They were surrounded by a huge vehicle, 30 meters long, carrying a gold-packed siege truck. Hammered chariot.The siege engines drove out through the crowd, with a small part of the team pushing the carts while the other half huddled around, presumably taking on the task of swinging the ram and covering for the casualties once they were in place.

There was also a fixed shield on the siege vehicle to protect the cart and the entourage, and it quickly passed the catapult array under the push, and rushed into the canyon through a gap made by the crossbowmen who provided long-range fire cover mouth, approaching the Blood Gate.

Iger heard the exclamation and the call of orders from the defenders. The valley army on the battlements, which had been suppressed by the stones and arrows of the counter-insurgency army, burst out and began to fight back.The flying stones were like rain, and the continuous arrows shrouded the battlefield like a layer of mist. The arrows of the attacking side suppressed the defenders at the top of the city with all their strength, causing a scream; On the approaching siege vehicle, ping-ping-pong-pong kept shooting at the car body and the protective shield, and quickly inserted it into a hedgehog. That is: the passage in front of the gate can only accommodate one siege vehicle to enter, so it is not smooth sailing, and the overwhelming firepower advantage of the attacker only needs to cover the narrow city head of tens of meters wide, so that The defenders continued to suffer casualties.

With a loud shout, the firepower of the trebuchet stopped—as the siege vehicle approached the Blood Gate, firing it further might cause accidental injury.Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the siege engine pushed aside the barricades, and was pushed across a narrow ditch under the half-push and half-lifting of the crowd, and pushed to the gate.Braving the burning oil barrels and stones thrown down by the defenders, the ram began to swing.

"Boom" - "Boom" -

Amidst the bangs of impact that were so dull that they seemed to be able to penetrate people, the cries of the remaining audience in the counter-insurgency army subsided, and even Iger held his breath. It seemed that only the head of the ram covered with metal was left in the world. The sound of the door.

-

Chapter 101 Frustration and the Daily Life of the "Barracks"

Amidst the sound of the regular ram hitting the door, Iger suddenly had an answer to a previous doubt in his heart-in terms of the degree of easy defense and difficult attack, Blood Gate is still inferior to Jianmen after all. Looking down at the entrance to Shu from a high position, from ancient times to the present, there has never been an attacker who could send such a huge ram to the gate of Jianmen.

Can this slight gap change the final outcome of the war?

The oil barrel fell to the front and back of the siege vehicle, and was ignited by unknown fuze or rocket. A large ball of flames shot up and completely surrounded the head of the ram. The soldiers who were splashed by the burning fuel screamed and ran away from the protection of shields and wooden boards. The lucky ones were able to hit a few rolls on the ground to extinguish the flames and then returned to the protection of the siege vehicles. The unlucky ones were directly hit and killed by the stones and arrows of the defenders-then the defenders who took the lead were waiting a hundred meters away. Thousands of archers shot.

People are hurting and dying every second.

"Boom" - "Boom" -

The front end of the battering ram of the siege vehicle was completely engulfed in the fire, but the thick skin made of special material and watered to prevent fire slowed down the spread of the fire, which made the siege vehicle The soldiers in the second half can still work together to push the ram, buying the last bit of time to make a few more attempts.But as more barrels fall, sooner or later, the siege engine will be useless.

Iger doesn't want to continue watching. Today's attack attempt will end with the destruction of the siege vehicle in all likelihood.So far, the casualties on both sides caused by this war may only be in triple digits. Compared with the total of more than [-] troops participating in the war, the casualty rate of one-thousandth is really a drop in the bucket, not worth mentioning , but the soldiers who are trapped in blood and fire before the pass will certainly not agree with this point of view.

The narrowness of the battlefield determines the scale of the battle, and also determines that the casualties cannot rise rapidly, but the intensity of the battle in the small square below the bloody gate and on the battlements is no less than any bloody battle from ancient times to the present.Everyone is the center of their own world, how can these soldiers who are fighting hard on the front line be ignored as a "1" in the number of one hundred thousand?

In the eyes of children, war is a distant story; in the eyes of teenagers, war is the supreme glory; but Iger is already an adult, and it is the first time he has come to the battlefield and listened to the groans and screams of wounded soldiers so clearly. I deeply feel: fighting is really not a fun thing.

……

This war was not caused by Iger, but it was indeed inseparable from him. He turned his head and left from the front of the battle to return to the camp, but at this moment, deafening applause and applause suddenly sounded around him, and Iger shuddered. Looking back, I immediately found the reason for the screams of the soldiers watching the battle: the head of the ram wrapped in raging flames had already smashed through the outer door of the Blood Gate and fell into the door opening!

What, is this broken?

Is it because Robert's arrow and stone bullet "fire suppressed" ramming tactics are too advanced this time, or is the rest of the army that has attacked this pass in the past thousand years too bad?

Accompanied by overwhelming applause, a cavalryman dressed in Baratheon's family's decorative costume also rushed out of the formation decisively, rushing straight towards the bloody gate that had already been broken.As long as the achievements made in battle are stabilized so that the defenders cannot re-seal the gate, this unbreakable danger through the ages will be broken by the great King Robert!

But faster than this group of cavalry was the group of soldiers who swarmed around the chariot, pushing it and the ram. They pushed the siege vehicle away from the door that had already been smashed before the flames completely engulfed it, and rushed into the doorway first. middle.

Who doesn't want to steal the success of breaking the city?Once it's done, you can become a nobleman by becoming a knight, and it's possible to shelter your descendants!

***

Too fake.After preparing for so long, it ended in just one battle?It was agreed that one husband should be the gatekeeper and ten thousand husbands should not be opened?What about the unbroken danger that was promised through the ages?Iger felt a little slapped in the face, but he was more fortunate. In any case, the war ended sooner and everyone suffered fewer casualties. After all, it is not a bad thing.

But just when everyone felt bitter about the farce of the one-month preparation for the battle and only half a day of fighting, the situation was reversed again. The coalition soldiers who rushed into the entrance hole rushed out after less than ten seconds. The defenders kept falling rocks and arrows, shouting something, and ran back to the coalition position desperately. There were many casualties along the way, and they also drove back the king's cavalry who rushed out.

The offensive was thwarted, and the crossbowmen troops who undertook the task of covering fire were quickly withdrawn under orders. The attack on the trebuchet position was also suspended, and the siege facilities were withdrawn out of the range of the enemy's weapons.Except for the siege engine that was closed by the Blood Gate, which was still burning, even if the first wave of attack was over, the words of the siege survivors quickly fell into Egger's ears after being passed on from person to person:

The defenders of the blood gate actually completely sealed the gate with earth and rocks!

This move is really a draw from the bottom of the pot. After the first wave of attack was repulsed, the second wave failed to be organized. It seems that this news brought Robert and other army commanders quite a surprise. Now that there are new Before the countermeasures, Iger estimated that there would be no new wars.

……

After going through some small twists and turns, things finally became normal. The bloody gate is really not that easy to break through.Iger turned back and left the front of the formation, and walked to his little tent deep in the coalition barracks.

It is said to be a military camp, but it actually looks like a city built with tents—if you only look at the population density, it is still a big city that ranks high in all of Westeros.The only difference from ordinary cities is that most of the residents here are soldiers and nobles.

In order to allow so many people to live a good life, the merchants who followed also started business in the middle of the six large military camps stationed in the six countries.As for the services that business people can provide, there are only things you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't buy with money: hotels, restaurants, brothels, bathrooms... Although they look like a bunch of tents at a glance, they have all the functions. Incredibly.It is almost like moving the commercial street of Junlin City to the entrance of the valley and into the tent, but the service has become slightly worse and the charges have been appropriately changed.

It stands to reason that making the barracks so lively is a situation that the command cannot tolerate, but the fact now is that the main force of the rebel army is blocked in the Vale of Arryn behind the Blood Gate, and all the people outside the Vale of Arryn participated in the attack. The fiefs and castles of the mutinous family have been controlled and surrounded by the army loyal to Robert, and the security and detection work outside the barracks has never been relaxed-the warrior king who was born as a commander did not give the enemy any chance to come back: unless there is internal strife Otherwise, it would be impossible for this barracks to be attacked at all.

Maybe I should join in the fun and build a temporary night watchman office here?

The chief logistics officer considered the matter seriously, and then his eyes were quickly attracted by a group of people in front of him: a tent was crowded with soldiers from six countries in different colors, they were noisy, as if they were arguing Grab some kind of merchandise that the owner of that tent is selling.

Iger was curious, but he is also a person with status and subordinates now, so he can be lazy about certain things: "Cathy, go and see over there, what are they robbing?"

The boy ran over obediently, slid into the crowd like a loach, and came out half a minute later. He ran back to Iger with both excited and strange expressions on his face: "My lord, it's a book, the book we printed!"

Chapter 102 Business Wizard Tyrion

"The book we printed?" Iger's eyelids twitched, and he immediately thought of something - the thing that can be so popular with soldiers can only be something that can't be put on the stage and is full of pictures and texts.He walked towards the tent, and as he got closer, he quickly heard the conversation between the stall owner and the soldiers.

"Are you robbing money? You want ten silver stags for such a junk book?"

"Grabbing money? What is this? Open your eyes and see, it's a book!" The stall owner didn't worry about the soldiers in front of him, flipped through the books in his hand, and shouted back while showing the contents.If you can get the news and come here - there are few unrelated ordinary people who do business on the side of the barracks, let alone the gathering of nobles and kings from the six countries. Forgive these small soldiers and dare not make mistakes: "There How many sheets of paper are there, how much ink will be used for so many paintings... Can you tell! A few months ago, your military salary for a whole year could not buy such a thick book, do you understand? I will only use this one The purchase price is five silver stags, and how much will it cost to transport it from King's Landing to this place? Buy it or not, there are only so many of them!"

"Take it, don't let me see you again!"

"It's good to be this early, how much saliva will cost me!"

……

Many soldiers paid for things and walked back to their respective barracks and tents with their brothers who joined in the fun. Finally, there were fewer people crowded together. Iger walked to the booth and took a look around.

Amazing, here's a new thing that hasn't been seen in Westeros before: the bookstall.Five or six books of different thicknesses and covers were placed on the booth. Books such as "A Lady's Tale" and "The Romance of Aegon the Younger" were placed one after the other... Among them, there was that Ben Iger wrote the outline for The Fantastic Adventures of the Night's Watch.People are not in King's Landing, but the industry and business under their name are developing in full swing, and the goods are chasing him to the battlefield. This feeling is really quite weird.

Iger calculated the time and soon found something wrong: According to the output capacity of the paper mill and printing factory that had been calculated, the order for the "Seven Star Bible" placed by the church should not be completed yet. Why did these books appear so soon? on the market?Either Tyrion built a few more production lines at an astonishing speed and started production in an instant... or - the guy saw the business opportunity, decisively postponed the production of existing orders, and printed these best-selling ones first Books, come to relieve the boredom of the idle counter-insurgency army in the valley, and earn money from these soldiers!

What a genius, Tyrion!I didn't even find this business opportunity myself!

What makes him feel a little confused about what to do is that among these books, he is most proud... the book "Adventure Journey" that tells "my own story" is the worst seller, and there are still a thick stack of more than a dozen books left ; but a bunch of small yellow books that couldn't get into his "sight" at all, almost all of them were sold out.Among them, the most expensive, but the best-selling one is a book called "The Hundred Beauty Pictures of the King's Landing". When I opened it, Iger's eyeballs almost fell out when I opened it.

Every piece of paper in this book is a portrait of a woman who is posing, which is not unusual. What is amazing is: on the back of the picture, there is actually such information as the woman’s name, age, origin, and where to find her. It’s a thick book, and it contains the addresses of almost every brothel in King’s Landing and the information of one or several of the signature ladies… Rather than calling it “Bai Yan Tu”, it might as well be called “King’s Landing Driving Guide”, who knows Tyrion? Here comes the inspiration!

Such a thick book is almost full of pictures, no wonder there are so many soldiers buying it for ten silver stags. There are few words, so it is not difficult to read, and the information in it is super practical. With this thing, anyone can read it. Pretending to be an old driver, this is a perfect product, and the book "Adventure Journey" that I am optimistic about is impossible to compete with it!

Wait, isn't this "Yellow Pages of Sexy Trading Places" an advertisement for these places? If it was me, I would definitely ask the bosses of these business places for advertising fees!

Think again - if there is a way to get money that he can think of, how could Tyrion miss it?God knows how much business the night watchman industry has expanded and how much money it has made in the month since I left!

……

"Don't buy it, don't look at it!" The stall owner took the driving guide from Iger impatiently, looked up and saw him dressed in black, immediately remembered something, and hesitated for a while: "Uh... Your Excellency is the chief logistics officer, Iger grown ups?"

Iger was about to answer, but a familiar male voice called his name from not far behind. Looking back, it was Earl Buckwell who had become quite familiar with him these days.

Although he never showed contempt or arrogance, he was an earl after all. According to the law of Westeros, his status was higher than himself, the night watchman.As a human being, politeness cannot be regarded as a blessing. Iger did not dare to be negligent. He left the booth and took a few steps to meet him: "My lord, good morning. Does the king still have plans to continue attacking the Blood Gate today?"

The old man in front of him is qualified to attend Robert's battle meeting, so Iger asked this question.

"It's probably gone. His Majesty also found that the Blood Gate is not easy to chew on. He decided to focus his attack on the rebellious castles outside the Vale of Arryn. Tomorrow, half of the army here will be divided to attack the slightly easier ones." There are some bones." The old earl gave a brief introduction, then tilted his body, and introduced a distinguished guest behind him to the general logistics officer of the Night Watch: "This is Miss Margaery Tyrell, she saw your story, I really want to get to know you, but I couldn’t find it in your tent... Fortunately, your clothes are still conspicuous.”

Iger was taken aback, and then noticed that there was another girl behind the old count.

"Miss Margaery, you are more beautiful than the legend! Please allow me to apologize for my running around."

"You are too polite. It has been my dream for a long time to know an adventurer like you, Mr. Iger West." The girl replied gently and politely: "If you are not busy, can you tell me about you?" What about the story, reading it from a book is different from listening to a real person tell it.”

(She read the "Journey of Adventure.") Iger knew what was going on right away: "It's an honor."

……

When you meet an opponent, when it comes to talking nonsense to people, who can fight against the daughter of Mace Tyrell, sister of the "Knight of Flowers", and Vivian who is known as the "Rose of Highgarden"? Stroll's number one scheming girl?

This beautiful girl with soft brown curly hair and doe-like bright eyes is about the same age as Nina, and her eyes are also shining with the same admiration and admiration as Arya or Nina, but Iger knows clearly—this acceptance Mrs. Olenna Redwyne, the Queen of Thorns, personally taught the "little rose" who wanted to rely on her marriage to bring her family back into the core of power. The night watchman who can't join the noble game at all.

In the black-bellied and scheming city, if you say you are a monk halfway, then this seemingly "innocent" girl in front of you is a child who has been in adultery since she was a child, and came from a professional class... The strengths of the two sides are not on the same line at all. She imagined getting to know her better.

How could such a noble girl come to the battlefield?Iger was a little puzzled, but soon relieved—since he could see that the counter-insurgency war where the six countries gathered was a good opportunity to build connections, how could those politicians with a keen sense of smell not smell it?The little rose in front of her must have come for a specific purpose. As for why she came to her, it depends on her careful response and analysis of the information in the other party's words.
