Duke Tywin said slowly, "Count Ode, how many soldiers are there in your city garrison?"

Count Odd was slightly stunned.

Duke Tywin knew all about the strength of his city's garrison, so why bother?

But since Duke Tywin asked, he naturally had to answer honestly.

"Two thousand garrisons, Lord Duke. ”

"What about the Navy?"

"Two thousand navy. ”

"What if it's wartime? When there's a war, how many troops can you mobilize?"

"Four thousand garrisons, four thousand navy. ”

"Oh, then, how many troops does Sir Gregor have?"

Count Ode was stunned again, and then said: "Eighty-six cavalrymen, Lord Duke. ”

"How many troops can Sir Gregor muster in wartime?"

“...... Eighty-six cavalry...... Adult ......"

"Count Ode, how many households are there in your territory, inside and outside the city?"

"Eleven thousand, my lord. ”

"How many households are there in Sir Gregor's domain?"

“...... Thirty households...... Your Excellency ...... "Count Ode's back began to get wet with cold sweat.

"Count Ode, if I were to worry, I think I should have worried you a little more. ”

Count Odeh stammered and was speechless.

He never expected the Duke to say such a thing.

The Duke was obviously praising his worries about Gregor just now, but now he suddenly changed his words, what does this mean?

"Count Ode, what's your last name?"

"Lannister, sir. ”

"What about me?"

"It's Lannister, too, my lord. Count Odd did not dare to sit still, and the man had already stood up, respectfully but his face was no longer calm, and the sweat on his forehead could not stop coming out.

"How many years has the Lannister of Lannisport and the Lannister of Cay Rock been in the master-slave relationship?"

"It's been a thousand years, Lord Duke. ”

"Yes, it's been more than a thousand years, so what are you worried about? We've always been family, we're all Lannisters of the same blood, and I doubt anyone in the West, and I won't suspect Count Ode, because we're all Lannisters. ”

The panicked mood of the Count of Ode was once again forcefully soothed.

He smiled, but the heart was completely put back.

That's right, the Lannister relationship between master and slave for a thousand years has never changed, this is no longer the word loyalty can be described, this is a family whose blood is thicker than water, and there is no need to question the blood bond. So what Lord Tywin said, 'Count Ode, if I were to be worried, I should have worried you a little more' was just a joke from Lord Duke.

Count Ode blamed himself for thinking too much.

In the whole West, I really can't find the blood link between the Lannisters of Lannisport and the Lannisters of Castle Rock. Blood is thicker than water, and there is no need to prove it with anything else.

"The two Earls, the eighty-six cavalry and the thirty families of Gregor, really don't worry too much about him, and the three scholars, compared to the thousands of bachelors and thousands of scientific and technological inventions and knowledge research results in the school, Gregor's invention is really nothing. I don't want everyone's suspicion of Gregor to affect Grego's loyalty, for Gregor, I have a sense of proportion, vigilance, analysis and judgment. ”

The three scholars and the two earls listened respectfully to Duke Tywin.

Sir Kevon was also a brilliant and talented man, but his willingness to be Tywin's shadow and green leaf stemmed from his admiration for Tywin's ruthlessness and extraordinary talent. Any thorny problems and complex situations become very simple in Tywin's hands.

At the age of twenty, Tywin was hired by King Aerys Targaryen as Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms, and after twenty years of service, he was the uncrowned king. The Seven Kingdoms recognized him as the true king, a true king hidden behind King Aerys.

If King Aerys doesn't anger Tywin, Tywin won't resign as Prime Minister. If King Aerys didn't humiliate Tywin, Tywin wouldn't stand idly by and let the royalists and rebels fight to the death. In the end, Tywin rebelled against the rebels and took King's Landing with his own hands, ruthlessly destroying the Targaryen royal family.

When it comes to Tywin, the eldest brother Kaivon is always convinced. He loses himself and willingly becomes a shadow of Tywin, like the neurotic Polivier who is absolutely loyal to the Magic Mountain.

"What we said today, I don't want to be passed on by anyone. Gregor must not be allowed to hear a word. I want all the benefits he can bring to the West. But if today's conversation gets out, it will affect his enthusiasm for invention and loyalty to Castle Rock. ”

Duke Tywin's gaze slowly swept over the two earls and the three scholars, and everyone nodded quickly, indicating that they would keep it strictly confidential and would not reveal a word to the outside.

In fact, even if Count Auger was asked to go out and talk about it, he wouldn't dare.

Gregor knew, and it was light to break his legs.

It was precisely because he was afraid of being known to Gregor that Count Ode chose to stay in Count Cayvon's home castle to ensure that nothing went wrong.

"No matter how evil a dog is, it is a dog, and a vicious dog needs flesh and bones, not a stick with nails. Our suspicion of him today, if known to him, is a wooden stick with a nail. Whoever leaks today's conversation will make him regret coming into this world. ”

The two counts and the three bachelors shuddered.

Duke Tywin slowly stood up, "Count Ode, you are loyal to Castle Rock, I have always known it in my heart. ”

"Thank you, Lord Duke. Count Ode hurriedly thanked.

Duke Tywin's gaze finally stopped at Kevon's, and he stared at Kevon meaningfully for a long time, until Kevon understood the meaning of his eyes, and then he withdrew his gaze, and without greeting Sir and the Bachelor, he raised his leg and left.

Harry, a scholar, hurriedly followed.

Since Tywin was seventeen years old, Kaivon has willingly followed his brother Tywin, and he understands his brother Tywin's mind as if he had an innate talent. He understood the meaning of his brother Tywin's eyes, and the meaning of it sent chills through his heart, and for the first time he felt a deep crisis for the West.

This kind of crisis was something he had never thought about before, and he was ashamed of it, and he felt chills all over his body because of it.

The second level of gaze is that Tywin reproaches him for having too low a vision and too little in his chest. Even if he was given a piece of territory, Kevon would not be able to become a duke who could manage a great nobleman, but only an earl of a city, on the same level as someone like Odd Lannister.

This made Kaivon's face burn, as if he had been slapped by Duke Tywin.
