The king on the Great Wall
Page 65
After experiencing the exhilaration of turning hands into clouds and hands into rain in the Junlin business world for more than half a month, Iger was once again surrounded by a sense of powerlessness.The Night's Watch industry has grown enough to withstand the aftermath of the war, but it's definitely not strong enough to prevent a civil war from happening - and this time, it will face the impact of the war directly.
The Night Watchman Industrial Park is located on the banks of the Blackwater River in the northwest outskirts of King's Landing, and Renly's army is coming from the west along the Golden Road. If the River Bend raises troops to support him, it is likely to move east along the Rose Road, and finally at a suitable location Cross the Blackwater River to complete the siege of King's Landing.
As long as you are not blind, such a huge building complex in the Night Watchman Industrial Park cannot escape anyone's attention.
"Develop yourself in the suburban enclosure", this model allows the night watchman industry to start at almost no cost and carry out mass production, which has allowed it to grow into the behemoth it is today in less than a year, but as a The satellite city of King's Landing, the economic development zone of the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, the industrial park without a decent wall, and the warehouses stockpiling food, grass and military equipment inside. I put the bacon on the plate, the fragrance is overflowing, and it is at your fingertips.
The most troublesome thing is that there is very little land in the city of King's Landing, and he can't move the industrial park into the city wall at all!
As the leader of the power, Iger must survive for his own cause.
***
The situation is tense, and all the gates of King's Landing have begun to strictly control them. Although Iger's identity is still smooth for the time being, if the gates are officially closed in two days, no one will be able to accommodate themselves... Bite the bullet, he Take the guard squad soldiers and three times the number of horses, leave the city from the King's Gate, and start galloping westward along the golden road.
Because of the existence of Melisandre, Renly was doomed to be defeated the moment he decided to fight for the Iron Throne, what he had to do now was to stop... or beg him, not to drag down the night watchman industry.
……
The sky was clear and bright, and there were golden-robed scouts sent by Ed Stark for early warning all over the Golden Avenue. Fortunately, Iger already had recognition and authority no less than that of the commander in the eyes of the soldiers of the garrison. After interrogation, he set off in the morning and drove non-stop for a day. On the second morning, he encountered a scout from the Stormland army. After explaining his intention, he was ushered into Renly's barracks.
Even though he had seen the six-nation army led by Robert himself when he suppressed the rebellion in the valley, Iger was still shocked by the size of the army camp in front of him. The "more than ten thousand" Stormland soldiers that Mu had heard of - not because he could count them in an instant, but because he saw the golden rose of Highgarden beside Renly's crowned stag banner flying high.
In less than ten days, when the main force of the Reach was in the western region, the Reach gathered another army and rushed to join Renly.Its combat power is unknown, but the number alone is scary enough... King's Landing may be difficult to defend!
This lion-slaying war waged by all six kingdoms inadvertently gave Renly a good opportunity to usurp the throne by force-on weekdays, if someone gathers an army at Storm's End or Highgarden, they may not be there yet. His questions and warnings arrived, but under the banner of going to the west to fight against Lannister, his army calmly passed the gate of King's Landing without arousing anyone's vigilance.What's even better - the army build-up and marching speed of the Stormlands are ranked last among the six countries. This shortcoming has become the biggest advantage at the most critical moment - because of the fast running, the other five countries and the kingdoms The main army has already entered the battlefield, and none of them have time to return to rescue. This battle will be a one-on-one contest between the Stormland army and the new Hewan army, and the King's Landing defenders!
Were all these coincidences premeditated and deliberately created by Renly, or did he take advantage of the opportunity?
Passing the huge military camp along the way, Iger tried hard to identify the coats of arms of the stormlands and the river bends. He had done his homework in this regard, but he still couldn't fully identify them - in addition to the noble army, there were also many hired knights and Free riders, these people did not go to the west to respond to Tywin's recruitment, but now they kept gathering under Renly's command along the way, in order to stand on the more attractive and generous side in this battle between the two stags.
……
When Iger was led into the entrance of Renly's big tent, the Duke of Storm's End was having breakfast with Margaery and the closest nobles under his command, talking and laughing with each other, as if they were full of confidence in winning.
"Your Majesty, Chief Logistics Officer of the Night Watch, Igger West please see me."
"Come in, please." Renly didn't stop eating. When Iger entered the tent and stood in the middle, he even asked kindly: "Master Chief Logistics Officer, can I have breakfast? The chef in my camp has cooked a lot more , come some?"
I don't know much about Ren Li's abilities, and I don't dare to comment, but in terms of emotional intelligence and popularity, he has really achieved the ultimate.Associating with him, you never have to worry about him somehow embarrassing you in public, or even getting angry without warning, and then a wine glass is thrown at you... Such a person is completely qualified to be a prince, but he just occupies the position of Minister of Justice, Barathi The En Dynasty is so bad, he is afraid that he cannot absolve himself of the blame.
And now, this guy is actually coveting the Iron Throne again... Which one is more suitable to be king, Renly or Lannister, Iger really can't decide, if he has to answer, he thinks—maybe neither is suitable.
It's all about slander, but Renly's character of never offending others will at least make things much easier for him to talk about next, Iger bowed and bowed: "You are too polite, Lord Renly, I have already eaten. "
"Your Majesty," corrected a tall guard standing behind Renly, "not your lord, and you should kneel before the king."
His Majesty?Iger was puzzled. He was in King's Landing, but he hadn't heard of Robert's death yet. How dare Renly call himself king like this?Did Ed conceal the news of Robert's death, or... The guard's voice was a bit strange. He looked up and saw a tall and ugly woman behind the smiling Margaery.
It was "Beauty" Brienne. It should be the second time the two met, but Iger only saw his appearance clearly this time. I have to mention...the actors in the TV series are much better-looking than her.
"King Robert has died, and Prime Minister Ed Stark concealed this from the residents of King's Landing and revised his last words, intending to make Stannis Baratheon king, and then seize the Seven Kingdoms. We will rise up, Uphold justice and justice." With a gentle and polite smile, Margaery explained to the dazed Igger without changing her face: "I believe that Lord Iger probably didn't come here as a lobbyist for Duke Stark."
If he hadn't known Ed Stark from the perspective of God, Iger would have almost believed it.In order to win the Game of Thrones, how many despicable and shameless lies people can make up... It is hard for ordinary people to imagine.
"The night watchman is impartial and does not interfere in the internal affairs of the Seven Kingdoms." Iger said solemnly, secretly rejoicing in his heart-fortunately, he didn't use any brains on the sale of paper-making and printing patents. The male and female couple in front of them can be regarded as friendly, and there is no conflict of interest between them... As long as you show the signboard of national righteousness, the probability of achieving the goal of this trip is extremely high: "I am here for another matter - the night watch The People's Industrial Park is located outside the city, and there is no wall to protect it. Swords have no eyes, so Lord Renly, please point them out and be merciful, so as not to affect the defenders of the Great Wall."
"Night Watchman Industrial Park?" Renly muttered, thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing: "I also asked why your Excellency the logistics officer came, so it was this matter."
There are many kings and vassals in the night watchman industry. This is well known in the aristocratic circle of King's Landing. Renly's trip to King's Landing will rely on the cooperation of these friends to win the Iron Throne with as little bloodshed as possible—not to mention He himself had seen ghouls in the Red Keep, even if he hadn't seen them, Renly would not take the initiative to touch the Night's Watch property.
Of course, it’s one thing not to take the initiative to touch it. Whether the hundreds of princes and officers and soldiers under his command in the storm and river bends will go to loot and destroy it, but no one can say for sure... Iger’s trip is not sure. reminded him.Renly waved his hand: "This matter is very easy to handle. You go back and ask your subordinates to build a wall around the site of the Night Watchman's property and paint it with black paint - I will give the order to let the troops of the Storm and the River Bend Qiu did nothing wrong."
It's that simple?Iger was really surprised, but after a little thought, he figured out the joints. After a change of mind, he immediately pursued the victory: "There are also some properties in King's Landing City..."
"Tell them to hang a black cloth over the door."
"Thank you... my lord!" Iger was overjoyed, but he hesitated and still didn't call out His Majesty.If two stags fought, Stannis would definitely win. If this rigid fellow were to learn that he recognized Renly as king in the future, he might cause trouble.
"It's 'Your Majesty'!"
Margaery waved her hand, signaling that Brienne didn't need to argue with a night watchman who was not in the aristocratic game circle about such insignificant details as "name", then leaned over to Renly's ear, stared at Iger, and whispered to Renly What my future husband said.
Iger was terrified, and quickly thought about it carefully. Except that he didn't give her a friendly enough response during the valley's suppression of the rebellion, he didn't seem to have provoked Margaret again.This scheming girl, what kind of brains is she playing at this moment?
Under Renly's tent, under the curious or indifferent gaze of the princes of the Storm River Bend, Iger spent this minute with difficulty.It seemed like a long time before Margaery got up and left Renly's ear, and the latter immediately raised his head, looked at Iger, and spoke again.

Chapter 193 The King's Grace
"My lord, Chief Logistics Officer, there is one sentence that I don't know if you agree or not." Renly Baratheon stared at Iger with a warm smile on his face: "I have always believed that talent is the key to running a country. Use the right people to manage the country It's as simple as eating. Unfortunately, my elder brother Robert seems to never realize this truth. In his imperial council, there are either flatterers, idiots, or schemers with evil intentions. The only captain of the iron guard who can be regarded as loyal, brave and wise, He was also called 'Barristan the Disappointment'...When I come to power, the Imperial Council and the Kingsguard must undergo a complete exchange of blood." As he spoke, he looked tenderly at the flower in the high garden beside him. , "My dear Queen Margaery, I think you have the ability to govern the country, I have no doubts about it. The Rainbow Seven Guards are not full yet, and when I sit on the Iron Throne and rule the Seven Kingdoms, there will be vacancies in the Imperial Council At that time, I can issue an edict to remove you from the status of night watchman—as long as you are willing to serve me, the three positions of Kingsguard, Minister of Finance and Minister of Justice are up to you to choose. "
……
What the hell? I'm clearly here to ask for your favor, why did the topic suddenly develop in a strange direction?Iger opened his mouth, and quickly realized that his reputation might not only be limited to the garrison and ordinary people, but now it seems that even the great nobles such as Renly and Margaery were also affected. !
***
The position of the Kingsguard was obviously aimed at his title of "White Walker Killer". Due to Robert's laissez-faire, the quality of this year's Kingsguard declined. Among the seven members, except Barristan and James , and the other five don't even have well-known nicknames... The warrior king didn't realize at all: as the king's honor guard, sometimes deterrence is as important as strength.
Renly was obviously aware of this, so he held a contest to select guards, and took the initiative to recruit famous fighters.
Ever since Oberyn put down the water in front of the small soldiers to save himself a little face in the valley suppression rebellion, rumors about his amazing martial arts began to spread continuously. Immortality and ghouls entering the city at just the right time proved the legends beyond the Great Wall to be true... The impression of him as a high-ranking night watchman officer with "unpredictable skills" was almost solidified in the hearts of the well-informed nobles.
As for putting the position of chancellor of the exchequer in the option, it is also understandable—Renly and Margaery must think that since they can start a huge night watchman industry from scratch, then they can manage the "Seven Kingdoms" "It's definitely not a problem for this bigger industry, anyway, it's all responsible for finding the money, who is not looking for it?
But...what on earth did Renly think that he felt fit to be Minister of Justice?Iger raised his head and looked at the handsome man wearing a slender golden crown on the stage. A guess gradually emerged in his mind: Pfft—this guy, he hasn't realized that he has been fooled by him, right?
I had a lot of sophistry in court that day with the phrase "if there is no prohibition, then it is allowed". Could it be that the former minister of justice, the third child of the Lu family who proclaimed himself king, thinks that he has the ability to manage legal affairs?
In a backward world, the cost of pretending to be aggressive is really low!
It is undeniable that the conditions offered by Renly are quite attractive. If the proposer is replaced by Stannis Baratheon, Iger may really think about it carefully.
I have no experience as an official, and doing business is not the same as managing finances... But as long as you choose the option of "Minister of Justice" and get a little familiar with the work, with your influence on the garrison, your learning ability beyond ordinary people and The word "serious" - nothing can be worse than a hands-off shopkeeper like Renly... If you can make an inch of effort to get rid of the black clothes while still retaining control over the night watchman industry, that's even more important. She was so flattered that she didn't hesitate at all.
It's a pity that even a child understands: If you are determined to get rid of your neutral status and go to one side, you must choose the side with greater hope of victory... and Iger, who has seen Melisandre's methods, even if he puts the king's throne on In front of him, he would never rashly go against an existence like the "Red God Priest" that he didn't understand, but who did possess powerful power.
Under the murmurs of the princes of Stormy Bend and the two places around the tent, Iger weighed his words and responded to Renly's olive branch: "Lord Renly, Miss Margery, thank you for your recognition of your ability. However... ...I dare not take such absurd praise as a "talent for governing the country". I am quite handy in managing logistics for a mere night watchman army. As for attending the imperial council to manage the Seven Kingdoms, I am afraid that I don't have the ability... Besides, even if you are dressed in black, Can I still serve my lord? After all, no matter who sits on the Iron Throne, they need Night Watchmen to guard the northern border for him, and resist the threat of those ghosts outside the Great Wall for the kingdom, right?"
……
"This is too ignorant."
"Your Majesty personally solicited, this shit night watchman, is he still putting on airs?"
"He has this qualification, unlike you, who can only drink, eat meat and slash people!"
The voices of the surrounding princes suddenly became louder. If Renly suddenly opened his mouth to recruit a night watchman, it was only a little surprising to everyone, but it would be really surprising that the person who recruited him refused.Renly had just announced his coronation as king a few days ago, and now he has just completed his identity change, which is the time when dignity and face are the most important. At this juncture, someone dares to lose face in public... I don't know what to say about this night watchman. Boldness is still courageous.
Renly's expression didn't change at all, and he couldn't see the psychological activities after being rejected at all... Maybe he was unhappy, but at least Iger couldn't tell from his face.This is the horror of the smiling tiger: No matter how much Robert growls or smashes things, Iger will not be really scared, but Renly is clearly smiling, and his scalp is a little numb.
"It's too early to discuss the governance of the Seven Kingdoms. It won't be too late to talk about it after we enter the capital and live in the Red Fort." Seeing that the atmosphere became tense, Margaret interjected in good time to smooth things over: "After all, the Chief Logistics Officer still has Since everyone is in King's Landing, if you agree to it in front of everyone, you may be gone when you return to King's Landing... Your Majesty might as well give him some time to think about it, maybe he will change his mind after you take King's Landing."
Iger raised his eyes and met Margaery's eyes, not knowing what emotion to feel for a moment.Such a delicate and charming little rose can think highly of herself, and is willing to speak out to save her at the most critical moment, of course she has face.It's a pity that what she said was hidden in a smile, obviously she was helping herself, but in fact she didn't give any way out...
Fame is really a double-edged sword. Apart from convenience and influence, it also brings troubles.
"What the queen said is right." Renly regained his friendly enthusiasm in the blink of an eye, "I haven't won King's Landing yet, so it's normal for the Chief Logistics Officer to have concerns. It's good to go back and think about it... I have agreed to your request, If you have nothing else to do, let’s go back. My army will set off after breakfast and continue to King’s Landing, and it is expected to arrive at the city in three days. When I sit on the Iron Throne, I hope your Excellency has already thought about the answer.”
"Thank you, Lord Renley." Iger bowed and gave Margaery a final look: "I will take my leave."
***
Leaving from Renly's barracks, Iger mounted his horse and drove back without stopping.Can Eddard Stark hold King's Landing under Renly's attack?Where is Stannis now?Will Melisandre use the shadow binding technique to kill Renly as in the original plot?Without getting answers to these questions, it was a waste of his brain to start thinking about "how to deal with Renly's second recruiting" in advance. What he has to do now is to return to his own industry as soon as possible, so that it is ready to deal with the chaos of war.
After another day of driving, Iger arrived at the industrial park on the morning of the third day after leaving King's Landing, and quickly called the middle management for a brief meeting.
"Build a wall around the industrial park?" Enoch scratched his hair: "How can there be enough time for two days, such a big place."
"It's not a high wall to resist attacks, as long as it's taller than me so that people can't easily climb over it." Unless it's as high and thick as the Great Wall of Despair, how can it hold back thousands of troops no matter how strong it is? attack?Iger can only count on Renly to keep his word right now: "After the completion, paint the outside with black paint, and if possible, put some flags with black cloth on it, so that people can see at a glance that this is the site of the Night Watchman !"
"Understood, it should be fine."
"Security team, stop training these two days and help build the wall together! Also, when Renly's army arrives, if there are scattered soldiers who come to steal chickens and dogs or even rob them, and those who don't hang the family emblem, drive them away... But what if it is Come here with a flag...Give up resistance, and put your life as the top priority!"
Geros hesitated to speak, but finally puffed out his chest: "Yes, sir!"
It is said that it takes a thousand days to use a soldier for a thousand days, and the night watchman logistics and security team has been raising them for more than a hundred days. Unfortunately, once they are provoked by the defense team, and once they face Renly's army, they can only be ordered to be cowardly... this feeling It was both helpless and humiliating.
"There should be enough food and grass in the warehouse. If there are people from the surrounding areas who request to enter the garden for refuge, they will be accepted." With Renly's temperament of cherishing feathers, he should not let his troops hurt civilians in broad daylight..."Okay, and I will send someone to notify you when I think about it, but King's Landing will probably close the door soon, everyone, take care."
The entry and exit control of each gate in Junlin City has become more and more strict, but as a big boss in the eyes of the soldiers of the garrison, his entry and exit are naturally not restricted. He rushed back to the office and shared his gains and encounters with Nina. Said that he soon got the latest news about King's Landing from the other party.
"What, last night the Red Keep announced Robert's death, and Stannis was crowned in the throne room this morning?"

Chapter 194
"Your Majesty, the two armies at Storm River Bend outside the city have already set up camp. There are a total of about [-] troops. They are divided into seven places, and there are at least [-] troops outside each door. Among them, the lions, kings, and Linhe have the largest number, all at [-]." Above." Kneeling on one knee, the soldier who brought the message said loudly, "Lord Renly's banner is outside the king's gate, and his men are shouting for your Majesty to come and negotiate."
"Negotiation?" A cold smile floated on Stannis' face: "A rebel who ignores his brother's will and succession, and regards ethical rules as nothing, also wants to negotiate with the real king? Keep an eye on defense, no matter what the other side shouts. Pay attention...wait, let's make a response, and send a loud voice to tell him: Lower the false king's rebellious flag as soon as possible, come to me and kneel down before me, begging brother's forgiveness, and still have a chance to live!"
Ed opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he sighed and did not speak.He didn't know much about Renly, but when he thought about it, he knew that trying to persuade a duke who had resolutely raised his troops to fight for the Iron Throne to withdraw his troops and confess his guilt was an impossible task.
"Renly, this kid, has been fond of flashy gadgets and flashy scenes since he was a child. King's Landing, a big city with high walls and thick walls, doesn't concentrate its troops to break through from weak positions... Instead, it divides its troops in several places and plans to launch an all-out attack. A typical child-style command." When the soldiers were reported to leave, Stannis showed contempt: "There are no famous generals in the Stormlands, and Lando Tarly, the only capable general in the Reach, is also fighting far away in the West. I don't need Instead of defending the city, we should take the initiative to attack, defeat the rebels in one fell swoop, and arrest my younger brother in the dungeon of the Red Castle."
"No one doubts His Majesty's ability to lead the army, but we have to face the reality. Half of the garrison is recruits, and even the half of the veterans, the combat effectiveness is very worrying. The defense of the city is so-so, but field battles are even out of the question." Ai De Stark said worriedly: "The king's army gathered together in a hurry by the royal family is basically all farmers, and there are not many knights... and the army you brought has too many sources. One-third of them are sailors. With such a group of people gathered together, if they went out of the city to fight head-on, I suspect that they would not even be able to set up a formation. The safest way right now is to hold out and wait for the return of the king's army."
Ed was right, and Stannis reluctantly admitted that it had been more than ten days since he learned of the abnormal movements of the Stormlands army. More than 2000 recruits came out...Adding the nearly [-] troops from the Narrow Sea princes he brought the day before yesterday, King's Landing now has nearly [-] defenders.
The ratio of the number of defenders to the attackers is close to 1:3. This should have been an easy battle... However, the quality of the soldiers is really worrying, forcing two veterans who have been tested by blood and fire as early as in the War of the Reavers, Facing the fledgling newcomer Renly, he had to hide in the city to avoid the battle.
It's a shame.
……
"Deep Cave City is only a few hundred miles away from King's Landing. Renly marched to gather mercenaries and wandering knights along the way, and waited for the new army from the Reach... The speed is already slow enough. No matter how hard the king leads the army, it shouldn't arrive. There is no news yet?" Stannis looked at Ed, frowned and asked, "Is there an accident, or did they deliberately delay the time to create an opportunity for rebellion?"
"Perhaps it was delayed by being intercepted by Renly's division of troops." Ed reluctantly explained, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart. Renly was very close to the princes of the king's land. Stannis' worries were not unreasonable, but unfortunately at this moment The army is outside, if they don't take the initiative to send the letter crows back to the city, no matter how anxious they are under the situation of being completely blocked by the besieging army, they can't exert any influence: "But anyway, at least they didn't join Renly's army... we now, We can only wait."
Join Renly's army?Many families of royal nobles are in the city of King's Landing. Do they dare to join the rebels?
(Unfortunately, Melisandre was not brought out.) Stannis frowned, and this idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
The red-robed girl has lived on Dragonstone Island for a year, during which time she has fully demonstrated her extraordinary skills that are not magic tricks. Half a month ago, she even accurately predicted that King's Landing would soon change, and that she would encounter betrayal again... The king's army Did he respond to the prophesied "betrayal" by not returning to King Qin for a long time?
If she was here, Stannis could ask her face to face, but... On the day he received Ed's call, he was leading the Dragonstone Island fleet to hunt down a few small pirates in Crab Bay outside Seagull Town. He rushed to King's Landing, and left in such a hurry that he didn't stop at Dragonstone.The succession to the throne has caught up, but it's a pity that the queen and princess, as well as the unpredictable mage advisor, are all left at home.Now I am full of doubts, but I can only hold them in my stomach.
Stannis came back from his thoughts, what was he thinking?During the War of the Reavers, I defended Storm's End with hundreds of people against the tens of thousands of besieging troops led by the Duke Tyrell. Until the end of the war, the enemy did not take the first step... Enemies twice as big as yourself are not afraid of retreating, and time has passed and time has passed to sit on the Iron Throne. Faced with a mere three times the enemy, you subconsciously put your hope on reinforcements and supernatural forces that you are not familiar with?
He cursed himself secretly, and quickly pulled himself together, regaining the feeling of being the commander-in-chief of an army.There is still enough food and grass in the city, and I have rich experience in defending the city. I only need to defend it for ten days and half a month. When the people of the Seven Kingdoms see that I, the new king, can hold the capital, their thoughts will melt away like spring snow... Even if the king leads the army What kind of small tricks with Renly, as long as it takes a long time, no matter how many excuses there are, it will not be able to delay endlessly, not to mention that I have the backing of the three families in the north?
Stannis made some calculations, and decided to assume that the king's army did not exist for the time being. After thinking for a while, he quickly made an arrangement: "Ed Stark, Hand of the King, you will lead two thousand soldiers to guard me. The weakest of the seven gates is the riverside gate and the city wall along the river; Davos Seaworth, the new Lord of the Sea, it is a pity that your first battle is not at sea, and you will command two thousand soldiers for me to guard the lion and I will personally visit the King's Gate, and have a king-to-king match with my stupid brother, so that the seven kingdoms can see the difference between the real king and the false king... The remaining four gates will be guarded by five hundred soldiers each There are more than a thousand people left, to maintain order before the battle, to gather as a reserve team during the war, and to rush to rescue any city gate when the defense is tight!"
"As ordered!"
"Renly should launch an attack soon. The meeting is over here. If there is an accident, don't panic. Follow the previously discussed arrangement."

Chapter 195 Attack and Defense of King's Landing
What was written in Robert's will, and to whom did he intend to pass the throne to in the end... The people of the Seven Kingdoms have no way and need not to know. In the case of two different opinions, either it will eventually become a historical mystery or be decided by the winner. to write.Even if Eddard Stark showed the real thing in the street, who could say he could read the former king's handwriting?There is only one thing for sure—no matter how many people claim to be kings, the one who occupies King's Landing City has the greatest political and military advantages and is the easiest to be recognized by others.
Eddard Stark understood this, so he sent a flock of ravens and sent a clipper to find Stannis who had left the port and let him return as soon as possible to succeed him.
Stannis also understood this truth, so when he received the news, he immediately left the pirates in front of him and rushed to King's Landing, passing Dragonstone Island without stopping...
And Renly is equally clear: as long as his elder brother still owns King's Landing, he will be a false king... Not to mention letting the world return to his heart, even recruiting a night watchman will be very difficult.The longer his elder brother sat on the Iron Throne, the more embarrassing his status would be.
So, only half a day after completing the siege of King's Landing, he rushed to attack.
***
Outside the king's gate, the armies of the two places in Storm's Reach began to form.Waves of sound came, and Renly Baratheon, wearing his iconic green armor and a gold antler helmet that was the same style as Robert's but one size smaller, rode past the soldiers in line, shouting loudly. Promised them a reward for taking King's Landing.
Gold, positions, fiefdoms, honors... and so on, every time you promise something, it will cause a burst of cheers.Old-fashioned, but always effective, Renly never imagined that he would need to say these words one day, and spent half the night learning his lines.In any case, he needs to muster the courage of the soldiers around him. Only by attracting enough defenders through a frontal attack can his friends in the city have a chance to implement their plan.
"When my brother is taken down, no one can insult his dead body. He is my blood and flesh. I will not allow anyone to put his head on a gun to show off his military exploits!" Renly swallowed after giving a long speech. , looked at the city wall of King's Landing standing in the distance, and threw out the final prize: "The first person to climb the city, the white robe of the imperial guards and the title of earl, choose one of the two!"
"Long live King Renly!" Thousands of men cheered for their king's promise, mixed with the sound of trumpets, the sound of drums... accompanied by the smoke from the camp, they gathered in a mass of murderous intent over the camp.
Blood relatives, no one is allowed to put his head on a gun to show off his military exploits... It was a glorious statement, but the wise man heard what Renly meant: when you meet Stannis, you will not die.Only when Stannis dies on the battlefield, Renly doesn't have to bear the infamy of a kinslayer-no one can be merciful in the face of the stability of the throne and the rule-compared with the benefits that everyone will get after winning, that Life and death of the stern-faced Stannis...who cares?
The sun passed overhead, and it was already noon. Renly took a sip of water, took a deep breath, and waved his right hand: "It is not too late, send orders, blow the trumpet, and attack the city!"
