The second to arrive was the bachelor Lomis, who was small in stature, sharp-eyed, small in step and quick in action. The third came the head of the sect, Photimor, who arrived with the captain of the guard, Aegon.

Fatimo is a burly man, with red hair and a short temper, with a two-handed giant sword, and he thinks very highly of himself, he has always ignored the magic mountain that everyone fears, thinking that if he has the opportunity to meet it, he will duel with the magic mountain, and teach him how to use the sword.

The Knight of the Hundred Flowers and the Brave Garland were both students of Photimo, and he was the swordsmanship teacher of Mace Tyrelll's three sons, and most of the famous swordsmen of the High Court were his students.

The Knight of the Hundred Flowers and the Brave Garland went to King's Landing, and duel with the Magic Mountain in the throne hall, both of them were seriously injured, the Brave Garland resisted the three swords of the Magic Mountain, was completely knocked down, and cultivated for a long time, the news reached the High Court, the knights and warriors were frightened and silent, only Vortimor was furious and wanted to go to King's Landing to duel with the Magic Mountain, and was stopped by Velas Tyrell as the acting city lord.

The letter from the Duke of Mace was circulated among the vassals of the four families.

Before the meeting began, the illegitimate son Giles Ferva was kicked out by Velas.

Villas felt that this was too embarrassing, he was very knowledgeable and loved his reputation, and he would never marry a woman like Cersei, which was very dishonorable. The illegitimate son Giles Ferva was here, which deepened this feeling for him. And for this matter, Villas thinks that the fewer people who know, the better, of course, this is impossible, once he marries Cersei, the people of the whole seven countries will know that the High Court can keep Cersei, so that he can't get out of this giant city, but he can't keep the matter of marrying Cersei close.

Still, Villas felt better about kicking Giles out, but of course it didn't affect the matter itself, and it was a psychological feeling.

Eventually, the letter returned to Vilas.

Before Uncle Gars spoke, Villas said, "My lords, the High Court is the granary of the Seven Kingdoms, and it has the largest population and the strongest army in the Seven Kingdoms. Our strength and grain reserves are the first among the seven countries, who has a different opinion?"

The Tully family's Riverlands are also the granaries of the Seven Kingdoms, but they are not yet comparable to the Rose Plains. In terms of climate and area, the river bay is better than the river land.

The four retainers looked at each other, knowing that Velas was clever and had to be careful with everything he said, or they could easily fall into his trap.

All four of his retainers had been taught Vilas's 'tricks'.

But what Vilas said was too much for them to refute.

The High Court is the granary, the High Court has the largest population, the High Court has the largest grain reserves, and the High Court has the strongest troops—all of them are true, and besides, these words sound very comfortable.

"Yes!" said Governor Garth cautiously.

Aegon knew that as long as he accepted that Vilas's words made sense, then the rest would be troublesome, Vilas's logical reasoning was top-notch, and no one in the room would be his opponent.

Then it would be nice not to take Vilas and say something else - this is how the Bachelor Lomis dealt with Vilas: he is left and right!

Aegon decided to do the same!

Captain Aegon had the best personal relationship with Vilas, but when it came to matters of right and wrong, he listened to Duke Mace's orders. When Olena, the Queen of Thorns, was poisoned, everyone in the High Court knew it was time to listen to Lord Mace Tyrellle. Although Lord Mace really doesn't have a good position in the eyes of his retainers.

Aegon also has a selfish heart, he is a person who loves beauty, and he just wants to see Her Majesty the Queen Mother live in the High Court. He had gone to King's Landing to meet Cersei from afar, and marveled at her beauty. If Margaery Tyrell is the rose of the court, but this rose is immature and not a goddess in the hearts of real men. And Cersei's beauty, mature and charming, at a glance from afar, makes people's hearts beat faster, and the charm cannot be described.

"Lord Vilas, should I envy you or congratulate you? Cersei's beauty is more than enough for you. The beauty of the women of the other great nobles is beautiful, and the beauty of Cersei is a woman. Gao Ting can marry Her Majesty the Queen Mother, and Gao Ting's status, glory, and political capital will be the first in the Seven Kingdoms. ”

"You're talking. Velas said coldly, his words like ice.

Scholar Lomis coughed lightly: "My lord, if you are not willing to marry Her Majesty the Queen Mother, no one can force you, but Lord Mace may be in danger in King's Landing. ”

Vilas snorted coldly, thinking that Lomis, the schem, was alarmist and deliberately made the problem serious.

"Agreed!" Governor Garth raised his voice, "This marriage is the plan of the Prime Minister and the Duke of Metz, and the plan will not work with us, Lord Mace has prestige, majesty, honor, and ability in the eyes of the allies of King's Landing...... Everything was ruined. The allies no longer dare to trust Lord Mace, and in the future, when it comes to national affairs and decisions on the fate of the country, I estimate that it is only a matter of time before our High Court is marginalized. ”

Vilas had a lot of words, but he felt like he couldn't refute it!

The red-haired Sect Leader Vortimus had a loud voice, speaking as if he was shouting, and his voice filled the entire hall: "Lord Vilas, I also think that Cersei is not worthy of you, but if we don't get married, we will definitely lose the support of the Prime Minister." If you don't get married, Cersei will be sent to other nobles by the Prime Minister in a different way. If Cersei marries another nobleman, think about it, her son is King Tommen...... You're thirty years old this year, and it's time to get married. ”

"Cersei is an indishonorable woman. Vilas said coldly.

"But she is Her Majesty the Queen Mother, no man can marry a Queen Mother Her Majesty casually, you got this opportunity. Captain Aegon was smiling, and he always thought it was a good thing. Although Velas is lame, he is still very good at that aspect, and Aegon and Velas have been to the women's hospital and know this.

"The lion does not consider the feelings of the sheep! The words of those fools cannot tarnish the honor of the High Court. Garth snapped.

"We are not lions, we are roses, Lord Steward. Vilas said.

"We pick up books, we sing songs, we talk about art, it's roses. But once we pick up the sword. Put on armor and helmets, and you're a lion, a wolf, a shadow bobcat, an eagle, and a cheetah. "Garth's level is still there. He has been the head of the High Court for two generations, in charge of all affairs, and at present, there is an opportunity to be the third generation of the head of the High Court.

Vilas was speechless!

"My lord, marrying Cersei doesn't affect your presence outside. You don't like Cersei, and she won't like you, you're a political marriage, and Lady Olenna wants me to keep in mind before she goes to King's Landing: family interests are above all else. Garth said, "Let's vote." ”

Garth raised his hand, "I support Lord Mace's plan. ”

Scholar Lomis raised his hand: "I violated the principles of the Bachelor, and I should not have been involved in such a matter. I'm ashamed. But he was very active. The binding force of the school city on the bachelors has been weakening year by year, and many of the principles of the bachelor's degree have become useless. The tenure-track bachelor system allows the bachelor to rely on the nobles for food all his life, and to remain neutral in everything, not to participate in political advice, not to participate in military struggles, and not to participate in business planning, is to deceive himself. It's like the rule that the night watchman can't marry and have children, but it only gives birth to more illegitimate children.

Captain Aegon said, "Marriage is just a formality, Vilas, and even if I don't raise my hand, I can't stand up for your decision. Margaery Tyrell is an example we should all follow. ”

Sect Leader Fotimo stood up: "Lord Vilas, you won't run away. You are the heir of the High Court, the future patriarch. I show my attitude, I listen to you, and I listen to Mistress Mace. Lord Mace is now a duke, and I cannot disobey his orders. ”

The head of the sect belies his shrewdness by his irascible appearance, and his skill in throwing the pot is nothing less than first-rate: throwing the pot to the Duke of Metz, no one can refute it.

Crab Claw Peninsula.

Peggy looked up at the mountains on either side, worried that the dangling rocks would roll down. But the warriors of the Magic Mountain and the Crab Claw Peninsula around him talked and laughed, ignoring the small mud and sand that sometimes fell on the mountain.

The mountains on both sides overhead are almost closed, and there is a very narrow passage in the middle, which cannot be seen very far, and is blocked by the corner.

Earl Ode was also shocked, no wonder the Crab Claw Peninsula could not be conquered by the nobles outside except for the dragon Targaryen, this road only needed two hundred archers, and it could easily block an army of 100,000.

The tribal warriors who had returned to the peninsula were in high spirits, chattering in their native language and shouting from time to time, as Lord Magic Mountain explained that they were singing. Count Ode could not hear the beauty of the song, but only the roar that came out in the distance and the echo that had been echoing for a long time.

Count Ode's five hundred cavalry are all awe-inspiring in their hearts, such a terrain and roads, as long as they are surrounded by the front and back, even if they are brave in the Demon Mountain, they can only die here.

The Crab Claw Peninsula belongs to the king's territory, but it is almost isolated from the world, except for the Targaryen family, which has recruited them, it is the magic mountain in front of them. Because of their isolation, these people also have unique languages and unique pronunciations, but many of them speak the lingua franca of Westeros, which is a credit to the Targaryens.

The Magic Mountain was very interested in the Red Smoke Beast, and when they entered the Crab Claw Peninsula, Count Odd and the Bachelor Peggy understood what the King of the Crab Claw Peninsula was.

After entering the peninsula, every village passed, all the people came out to welcome the Magic Mountain. They didn't cheer, and it didn't seem like there was anyone organizing. The villagers brought out fruits, food, their own sour wine, and some of the villagers' handmade utensils, which may have been sacred in their minds. The men had awe in their eyes, no smiles on their faces, wary and timid, unlike the cheers of the people of King's Landing welcoming the respectable.

Men and women, young and old, regard the Magic Mountain as a god-like existence. When the Demon Mountain motioned for the guards to accept the gifts, each of the people bowed deeply, and there was a hint of joy in their cautious expressions, and the joy was fleeting, and they quickly regained their humble expressions and hurried away.

The attentive Maester Peggy found that people's respect for the Red Smoke Beast was no weaker than their respect for the Magic Mountain.

All kinds of fodder for feeding horses were offered by the villagers one after another. But they didn't dare to approach the Crimson, but put it on the path that the Crimson had to pass, and then left, crouching in the field not far away, and peeking out of the crops and trees to see if the Crimson was eating their forage.

When the Red Smoke Beast eats the forage in a certain place, the people who offered the fodder will run out, but they still keep their distance and bow to the Demon Mountain and the Red Smoke Beast, as if they are grateful to the Red Smoke Beast for eating the forage he offered. More people were half-exposed and half-hidden, separated by a long distance, like children who had never seen the world, timidly looking at the Red Smoke Beast and the Peninsula King on the back of the Red Smoke Beast.

The villagers on the outskirts of the Crab Claw Peninsula maintain their reverence for the Red Smoke Beast, and this reverence is mixed with too much awe.

It is true that the Magic Mountain does not look approachable.

The people did a lot to curry favor with the Red Smoke Beast and the Peninsula King, but they had no cheers, no unified action, no slogans, and no flags. They are like savages with untapped intellect, cowardly trying to curry favor with the gods in their hearts.

After a glimmer of terrain, the front suddenly opened up, and the troops entered the territory of the Fuka tribe. Soon after moving forward, the entrance of a valley plain appeared, and continued to move forward, not far in front of the territory of the Warner tribe, the young patriarch Kom Warner was beside the magic mountain, and turned left into the valley plain, which is the Fuka Valley Plain of the Fuka tribe, which is more than a hundred miles long and is the granary of the peninsula. The young patriarch Joyce Fouca was by the side of the Magic Mountain, and he led a hundred tribal warriors to become the captain of the Magic Mountain's guard.

The other captain of the Magic Mountain's guard is the Knight of Erin.

The team turned left into the territory of the Fouka tribe, and a cavalry rushed out of the depths of the valley, raising a high dust tail flame, and the sound of hooves was like thunder, and the team blew like a strong wind.

In the center is the Blood Wizard Dolty Quintina, on the left is Thomas Mann, the Horse Warrior Officer of the Magic Mountain, and on the right is Sir Jaco Lodge.

The men were warriors, the horses were horses, and a thousand knights came, in ten columns, each with a hundred men, and a square cavalry formation.

An array, not scattered in a rapid run, requires hard training. This is an indication of the level of training of a cavalry team.

Cavalry and infantry combat pay attention to team ability, and the basis of team ability is the queue.

Jaco Lodge's training results are obvious.

Count Ode's face changed when he saw the prestige of the thousand new cavalry of the Magic Mountain.

Dolti Quintina saw Count Ode's eyes flickering beside the Magic Mountain, she had long relied on blood witchcraft to guide the life direction of the tribal chiefs, centurions, warriors, and commoners of the peninsula, and she had a unique sensitivity to the human heart, she suddenly stepped forward and pulled out a small silver knife from the rattan tube that she was carrying diagonally on her chest, the silver knife was cold and shining, and it looked more like a large silver needle.

In a flash of light, the silver knife stabbed into Count Ode's arm, and before Count Ode and the guards around him could react, Doorty Quintina had already retreated, and the silver knife sniffed close to Doldy's nose, and his tongue stuck out, licking the blood on the knife, and Count Ode saw the blood wizard's mouth full of black teeth.

"Warriors of the Crab Claw Peninsula, this strange guest cannot be trusted. Dorty said as if singing.

Swish!

More than a thousand cavalry on the Crab Claw Peninsula brushed their weapons and quickly surrounded Count Ode and his cavalry without the commander's orders.

There is a clear difference between the people of the earl and the people of the Magic Mountain, you can see it at a glance.

Demon Mountain's face was grim, and he stared at Odd Lannister without saying a word.

"Lord Magic Mountain, the general beside you cannot be trusted, I hope you can order him to be captured and tortured!" Lady Dortty's voice was as cold as ice grains, striking Count Odeh's chest.

The Magic Mountain of Ice and Fire
