"Who is Duke Tywin raising his troops for?" said Demon Mountain coldly, "unless someone is cold in their hearts and can't feel the kindness of their family to him." ”

"Oh. You're right. Lord Earl. Tyrion said sarcastically, "Well, I'm grateful that you all sent troops because you love me so much. Well, listen to me roar. Tyrion grinned, listening to me roar what was the Lannister motto, "How's the war going now?"

"It went well. "The mountain said, he knew that Tyrion was a very eloquent man, and although he was a science man, he had always been very eloquent, "Ser Edmus, who loves his people like a son, has scattered his men and horses into small teams to garrison every village along the border to stop our surprise attacks. The Westfrontiers, led by Jaime, launched a surprise attack in the middle of the night, and the princes of the Three Rivers were defeated, and Ser Edmuthully and many of his vassals and knights were taken prisoner. The Earl of Blackwood gathered a handful of his remnants and fled back to Riverrun, where he closed his doors while Jaime tightened the siege. The other princes scattered and fled to their homes and hid like frightened rats that had gone into the ground. ”

"We are exterminating them one by one. "Without the Earl of Blackwood in his absence, Raventree fell immediately, and as soon as the soldiers of the Magic Mountain arrived at Harrenhal, Lady Riveran immediately surrendered the castle." The Piper and Brecon territories have been burned to the ground by us......"

"So the nobles of the Three Rivers Valley have been defeated, and we have won this war?" said Tyrion.

Sir Kevon said: "At present, the Mellister family in the northern part of the Three Rivers still retains the Sea Frontier City, and the Marquis of Wadfrey in the Twin River City is also gathering troops and horses. ”

"Out of the way," said Lord Tywin, "the Freys will not send troops unless they smell victory, and the air smells of rout at the moment." As for Jason Mellister of Seawall, he is indeed brave and loyal, but his forces are clearly insufficient, and once Jaime captures Riverrun, Mellister and the Freys will naturally surrender. If the Starks and Arryns don't send troops, we've already won this battle. ”

"I've just escaped from the Arryn Valley, and from what I've seen of Rysa Tully, we don't have to worry too much about the Arryn family. Lysa Tully and Caitlin Tully did not have a good relationship, and for whatever reason, she most likely did not send troops. "But the Starks are different, Lord Eddard and King Robert."

"Robert Baratheon is dead. "Now the king of the Seven Kingdoms is your nephew Joffrey Baratheon. ”

This surprised Tyrion, who had been stirring in his heart again. "Great Inventor, do you mean my sister is in power?" he poured a sip of wine. Robert is dead, Joffrey is still young, and the ruler of the Red Keep is Cersei. Cersei is in power, and the situation in the kingdom is bound to be greatly turbulent. God knows what ridiculous things his shallow, self-righteous sister will do.

"So, what about Prime Minister Ed?" said Tyrion. With Eddard Stark's rigidity and old-fashionedness, he and his sister are bound to be like each other. The country doesn't know what the mess is going to be. The Prime Minister and the King's Mother were arguing in the throne hall over every matter of government, and my God, that scene is interesting to think about.

"Eddard Stark was imprisoned for treason, and before the trial could come, he disappeared from the dungeons of the Red Keep, along with Varys, the octopus spider. ”

Tyrion almost choked on the wine with a loud thud, and he hurriedly put down his glass and swallowed it all.

"If you're interested in helping, I have a task for you. Duke Tywin said indifferently, "Marco Piper and Calelvans are making waves behind us, attacking my territory on the other side of the Red Fork. ”

Tyrion snorted, "It's just a few parasites mischievous, and if it were normal, I'd be happy to give these rude fellows a little color, but Father, I can use it for other purposes." ”

"Really?" said Duke Tywin, blank as he looked, "I hope you can use your escape skills against them, and of course, not to make a bigger leak for me." ”

Tyrion wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and when he almost choked again, his mouth was covered with wine stains, as well as on his hands. He smiled and said, "Father, I will definitely take the men you gave me to deal with Marco Piper and Calelvans and beat them to the ground." But before I send my troops to find those two unfortunate men, I must fulfill my promise that I will have three thousand helmets, three thousand sets of chain mail, swords, spears, steel spearheads, maces, battle axes, iron gloves, neck armor, knee pads, cuirasses, and carriages to carry them."

Before he could finish speaking, the door behind him was slammed open, and with such force that Sir Kevon cursed and jumped to his feet, and Tyrion was startled as a figure flew across the room, crashing into the fireplace, rolling into the cooled ashes, and the lion's helmet crooked to the side was the captain of Duke Tywin's guard.

Duke Tywin's face remained unchanged, but the corners of his eyes twitched fiercely. And the Magic Mountain and the Witch Queen were motionless, as if this had not happened.

Shagar, the leader of the hill tribes who had been lubbling Tyrion in the Vale of Arryn, burst in, still holding the captain's sword, and with a snap, Shaga broke the captain's saber in two with his knees as thick as tree trunks. He dropped the broken sword, and it made a loud noise. He swaggered into the hall, and before anyone arrived, the smell of overnight rice came first.

"Half-human!" he growled, "why don't you just let us wait outside?" and then he saw a few other people in the room, and of course the Magic Mountain.

With a fierce blow, Xia Ga, who directly knocked the captain of the guard who was blocking the road, was stunned, and then his eyes showed timidity. The tall and mighty Magic Mountain gave Xia Ga great pressure. The eyes of the magic mountain are like nails, and when he looks at him, his heart beats.

Then, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and several uninvited guests walked into the hall.

Ulf is as swarthy as a rock, Zira wears a necklace of human ears around her neck, Gonthor the thin man, the one-eyed charm, and the helpless Bolon. It seems that Polon tried to stop the men from breaking in, but failed. The mercenary shrugged at Tyrion with some regret. Then he moved a step, just enough for the strong man Xia Ga to block his view of the Demon Mountain.

"Who are you?" asked Duke Tywin, his tone cold as frost.

"Father, they are the natives of the Arryn Valley. Tyrion stammered a little, explaining that Shaga's behavior was too rude, "Can I keep them? They won't eat much." ”

Tyrion's last soothing quip no one laughed at.

"Why did you barbarians interrupt our meeting?" asked Sir Kevon.

"Flatlanders, you say we're barbarians?" Ignoring the razor-like oppression in the Demon Mountain's gaze, he was really a man who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and the person who dared to gouge out his left eye with a white-hot knife was really not an ordinary ruthless person, "We are free people, and free people are born with the right to participate in all combat meetings. ”

"Which of you is the Lion Chief?" asked Zira, wearing a necklace of human ears.

"I guess these two old men are, you see the family crest on their plackets, they are both lions. The one-eyed charm, who was under twenty years old, announced loudly.

Ser Kevon reached for his sword, but Tywin reached out and pressed two fingers lightly on his wrists. Kevon sat down hatefully, still holding his hand to the hilt of his sword.

Duke Tywin remained silent, as if he was not angry, and only then did the captain of his guard stand up in embarrassment and straighten out his crooked lion helmet.

"Tyrion, where is your politeness? Why don't you introduce us to these guys...... Guest. ”

Tyrion licked his fingers, and there were still wine stains from the wine glass on his fingers, which could not be wasted: "Father, this beautiful girl is Zira, the daughter of Zike with black ears. You look at the ear necklace around her neck, that's the ear of the person who angered her. Well, it doesn't look like there are many people who her off. ”

"I'm no longer a girl, and my sons have cut off fifty ears. Zira said proudly.

"May they cut fifty more. Tyrion staggered over to the natives, "This long-haired man is Shaga, the son of Dof; this very thin but not at all easy to mess with, I call him Gonthor the Skinny; both Shaga and Shaga are from the Raven Tribe. ”

"This is Ulf, the son of Umar of the Lunar Ministry, and this is the red hand of the Scorching Ministry, the son of Ti Mei. This guy is the mercenary Bollon, who will not be loyal to anyone, and has betrayed twice in the short time I have known him, and it was Lady Caitlyn who initially chose to be loyal to him, and now it is me. Father, he is a good match for you. Let me introduce you to my fathers, Tywin, son of Tytos of House Lannister, Duke of Castle Rock, Warden of the West, Shield of Lannisport, and the Hand of the King forever. ”

Duke Tywin stood up, and the majesty and momentum naturally overflowed, fully worthy of all his titles: "Even in the distance to the west, I have heard of the heroic deeds of the warriors of the various tribes of the Bright Moon Mountain Range from time to time. Honorable Lords, what wind has brought you here from your fortress?"

"I came on horseback. Xia Ga said.

"The half-man promised to give us clothes and weapons. One-Eyed Charm said to Lord Tywin. But his eyes were always on the magic mountain. Throughout the room, Timei felt that only this big man was worth the challenge.

Tyrion was about to tell his father about his idea of using these barbarians to turn Arryn Valley into a smoking wasteland, when footsteps outside the gate rang out again, and a scout hurried in, a scout glancing at the natives with strange eyes, before kneeling on one knee before Duke Tywin. "Lord Kaiyu, Sir Adam Malbran has asked me to report to you that the Starks have begun to move south along the causeway. ”

Duke Tywin Lannister's face was expressionless, Duke Tywin never smiled, but Tyrion had long since learned to observe his father's look of joy, and it was clearly written on his iron-clad face at this moment.

"The old wolf is nowhere to be found, and the little wolf has finally moved his nest. He said in a bland tone, as if to say that the weather was very normal today, "Soldier, go back and tell Sir Adam to retreat at once, and not to engage the northerners, but I want him to send men to harass the flanks of the other side and lure the little wolf to the south for a decisive battle." ”

"Everything is as you command, my lord!"
