King's Landing, the Red Keep, the stone house of the Magic Mountain.

Second floor.

"Lord Duke, I heard that you are going to sell the wine of Qingting Island. Count Odd took out a bottle of wine from Qingting Island from a small wooden box, "I'm sorry it's not a wooden barrel." ”

The best wine in Qingting Island is made in wooden barrels with aromas. The barrel alone is very particular and valuable.

"If you don't find a way to make money, my fighters will go hungry. ”

"I beg the Duke to count me in. Count Odd uncorked the wine, took the glass from the small wooden box he had brought, and poured it for the Magic Mountain and himself.

Magic Mountain stared at Count Ode: "Lord Earl, you own Lannisport, the largest and most prosperous port city in the West, and your income is huge, so you don't need to stare at this little money." “

"More than half of the revenue from Lannisport goes to Castle Rock. Earl Odd smiled bitterly, "It was the Duke of Tywin who gave me food, and he didn't give me Lannisport as a reward, I was a poor man." ”

"Do you really want to come and do it together?"

"With all my heart, Lord Duke. ”

"When there are more people, the profits are very thin. ”

"Just sell a few more boats a year, Lord Duke, the noodle restaurant we work with continues to make a profit. Happy to work with. Count Ode raised his glass.

Magic Mountain did not raise a glass: "Lord Earl, if you want to cooperate sincerely, you need to deposit the money in Baylor Bank first, and in the future, all the money will be taken from Baylor Bank." ”

"I listen to you, completely. Count Odd raised his glass again.

The Magic Mountain still didn't serve the wine glass, which made Count Ode's face a little embarrassed.

"Lord Earl, you really want to cooperate with me for a long time, instead of just fanciing Qingting Island wine, I will tell you one thing that is easier to make money, and only you and I will share the profits. ”

"I'm listening very carefully, Lord Duke. Count Odd took a sip of wine and looked intoxicated.

He was indeed amazed and delighted!

After the death of Duke Tywin, Earl Odd also had his own ideas, and he wanted to develop stronger. And cooperate with the Magic Mountain, no longer need to think about Duke Tywin's thoughts.

"Lord Earl, have you heard of the Iron Islands' Electorary?"

Iron Islands?!

Magic Mountain's words were really unexpected!

"I have heard, Lord Duke, that Baron Greyjoy crossed the Chain Bridge on the night of the storm and was summoned to the Palace of Flowing Water by the Drowning God, and that his brother's banished Raveneye returned a few days later, with a mighty fleet and untold riches. Raven's Eye is said to have sailed all over the world, including the Bay of Valyria's Ruins. After Iron Man elected a queen according to the rules of the ancient road, Raveneye defeated Asha Greyjoy, the daughter of King Baron, and his younger brother Victor Leon Greyjoy, and was elected by Iron Folk as the new king of the Iron Islands, and declared independence. The Iron Islands are no longer subject to King's Landing. “

"Your message is accurate, Lord Earl. ”

Count Ode smiled bitterly and said frankly: "Lord Duke, I have a fleet in Lannisport that keeps an eye on the movements of the Iron Islands fleet. For the safety of Lannisport, I had to arrange my own eyeliner in the Iron Islands, which had already been arranged during the time of King Balon. The Iron People make a living from raiding, and Lannisport has always been a fat piece in their eyes. “

Magic Mountain stared at Count Ode: "Lord Earl, King Baron has died, Croweye has won the election meeting, the chaos of the Iron People is over, and Croweye has established himself as king." In the face of the Iron Folk Fleet, which is more powerful than hard, do you think Raveneye will wage war against the West?"

A cold sweat immediately broke out on Count Ode's back.

Demo Mountain reminded him, and he suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.

"The brutality of Raven's Eye, as we all know, is that his flagship is the Serenity, and that's because he cut out all the tongues of all the sailors and oarsmen, just because at one point he felt that these people were talking to him. ”

"Raven's Eye's brutality and belligerence are above King Balon. He was exiled by King Baron because of his intimacy with the salt concubine of Viktarion, the commander-in-chief of the Iron Fleet. Victalion was his own brother. ”

Count Ode was silent for a while, and then said, "Lord Duke, how do you plan to prevent Crow's Eye from attacking the Western Realm?

Magic Mountain shook his head.

Earl Odd said: "Lord Duke, the war in the western frontier began in the 298th year of the Aegon calendar, and until the 300th year of the Aegon calendar this year, the only remaining western army is only a few thousand, and the western frontier has no troops, financial resources, and military rations. ”

"Lord Earl knows about this, will Croweye know?"

Count Ode's face changed slightly.

"Lord Duke, you are the Minister of War of the Kingdom, you have to find a way to save the Western Frontier, I propose to convene a meeting of the Imperial Ministers, so that Her Majesty the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister can understand that the crisis in the Western Frontier has come. “

If it weren't for the reminder of the Demon Mountain, Count Odd himself would not have any vigilance.

Demon Mountain said slowly: "Lord Earl, when King Balon crossed the rope bridge on a stormy night, he was not summoned to the Flowing Water Palace by the Drowning God, but was pushed down by the crow's eye lying in ambush on the rope bridge and fell to his death. ”

Count Odd was stunned!

"Lord Duke, Lord Archbishop has seen the prophecy fragments?"

Your Excellency the Archbishop?

Oh, it turns out that Count Ode thought that the Magic Mountain knew the truth from the Archbishop. The archbishop is the son of the Seven Gods, and it makes sense that he can see some fragments of prophecy. And the Magic Mountain has the best friendship with the archbishop, and even the bank is named after the Holy Church.

Count Ode's association makes sense!

Magic Mountain followed Count Ode's words: "Lord Earl, the Archbishop has secretly told me that Raveneye will soon attack the West, rob Lanniport, and at the same time send his brother Victorion to lead an iron fleet to attack Lord Tyrell's shield islands, and advance east along the inland river, and the nobles of the Riverlands will be taken by surprise, and Victor will loot the wealth of the Riverlands and return with a full load. ”

Count Ode was stunned!

Only then did the Magic Mountain raise his glass and taste the wine slowly, letting Count Odd digest the terrible news first.

"Lord Duke, we need to go to the Prime Minister overnight, and gather the Duke of Tyrell, everyone hurry up and come up with a countermeasure, if Lannisport is attacked by the Crow's Eye, my garrison will not be able to fight back. ”

"Lannisport's fleet is dedicated to the tactics trained by the Iron Min, and it will not be lost to the Iron Min. "The Magic Mountain comforts the Count.

"No, my lord, I have received information that the fleet of Crow's eyes is more than five hundred, plus the fleet of the Iron Folk of the five major islands, the fleet of Victor Leone, and most of the fleet of King Baron of Pike Island, the total number of ships has exceeded a thousand, and the fleet of Lannisport is no more than thirty warships. With the addition of twenty warships on Fairy Island, there are only fifty warships. ”

"Raven-Eye's warships will not be all sorted, he will only send a fleet to attack Lannisport, and after Lanniport is successful, he will send a large fleet in the second step, which will sweep the entire western border, and even enter the riverlands to loot food. ”

"Lord Duke, now that you know about Raveneye's actions, do you have any secret plans?"

"I have, the first step of the plan, is that you, Lord Earl, and all the nobles and people in the western realm, must all obey my command, so that we can defend the western frontier, defeat Croweye, and force him to negotiate peace with us. I know that in the West, there are a considerable number of noble children who are only willing to obey the orders of the Lannisters, and if they refuse to put aside their prejudices and obey my arrangements and orders, then I will watch as Crow-Eye kills all their men, burns down their castles, and robs them of their last bit of wealth. ”

Earl Odd was silent for a long time, and then said slowly, "Lord Duke, do you want to take this opportunity to completely replace the Lannister's position and authority in the West?"

"I want to save the West. Crow-Eye's brutality and ruthlessness, even his brother dares to murder, even his brother's salt concubine has to be robbed, more than a thousand warships are strong, if I can't get the whole of the West to work together to listen to my orders, we will all be defeated, and the West will be completely conquered by Crow-Eye. If the Earl could have foreseen Raven's Eye's actions, and if Prime Minister Kaivon had foreseen Raven's Eye's military plan to attack the West, then I will listen to you. But none of you are sensitive to the coming of the catastrophe in the West, you are very slow, and your ability to lead troops into battle does not convince me, let alone my soldiers, if the Earl still wants to keep Lannisterport, and the Lannisters still want to keep the West, you will have to listen to me this time. ”

Count Odd poured his head and drank several glasses in a row, then slowly raised his head and looked at the Demon Mountain fixedly: "Lord Duke, you are the guardian of the Western Realm, who do we listen to if we don't listen to you? In dealing with Crow's Eyes, I would like to follow your lord and fight for the West. ”

The Magic Mountain stared at Count Ode: "Lord Earl, do you really want to follow me?"

"Sincerely, Lord Duke. ”

"You are the most powerful of the Lannisters, and if you are ordered by me, the nobles loyal to the Lannisters will be ordered by me. ”

Count Ode was silent.

Magic Mountain raised his wine glass and touched it lightly on Count Ode's wine glass: "Count, remember what I told you?"

"What?"

Moshan has said a lot to him, which one?

"We work together, there is a business that can make a lot of money, and only you and I share it. ”

"Yes, I remember. ”

"The Iron Islands are made up of five archipelagos, and the Lord Greyjoy family lives on Grand Pike Island, and on Big Wick Island, what's there?"

"Iron ore. Said Count Ode.

"If we defeat Crow's Eye, the iron ore will be ours. The North, the West, the Riverlands, the Riverlands, the Old Town, Qingting Island, and Dorne all have to buy iron ore from the Great Wick Island, and if those iron ore mountains belong to you and me, then the iron ore business in King's Landing Steel Street will also be ours. ”

Count Ode, however, was suspicious of this large piece of cake: "Lord Duke, we may not be able to eliminate the crow's eye. He had a thousand battleships. ”

"No matter how brutal the crow's eye is, it's just a knife. ”

"Killer please?"

"Strangers on Westeros, we can give it a try. ”

"Strangers can't compare to the Faceless. ”

Demon Mountain smiled slightly: "The Faceless One can't compare to the Hall of Heroes." ”

Count Ode's face changed.

The Hall of Heroes is located in the city of Castle Rock, the castle of the Rannis family and the capital of the West. There is a Hall of Heroes in the castle, which is a statue of the ancestors of the Lannister family who have made outstanding contributions through the ages, and each of these ancestors is a hero, and there are hundreds of life-size hero statues, all of which are cast in gold.

"If we show weakness to Croweye, Prime Minister Kaivon is willing to negotiate peace with Croweye with the gold of the Hall of Heroes, and Crow-eye will definitely come to negotiate with us, and during the negotiation, I only need one punch to kill him." If Raveneye is wary of me, all it takes is a dead soldier with a short knife to stab him through the body. ”

"When Raveneye enters Castle Rock City, he will definitely drink water and eat first, and he will be protected by the power of the guests. If we trample on the power of our guests, we may incur the wrath of the Seven Gods and punish them. That would be an exterminating punishment. ”

"Crow's Eye can do it after he leaves Castle Rock, he can do it before he enters Castle Rock, and he can do it during the feast, just before he eats. As long as we lure Raveneye ashore and set him foot on the lands of the West, I promise you, he will die. I'll kill him myself!"

Earl Ode said: "Your Excellency, it will not be easy for us to convince the Prime Minister to support our plan. The Hall of Heroes is the glory of the Lannisters, and we're using it as bait, and it's likely that Raveneye will see through the trap. ”

"He wouldn't believe the Lannisters would give him a statue of a hero?"

"Yes. ”

"But what if the Earl goes and secretly offers him the Hall of Heroes? ”
