Chapter 86, Strength
White Harbor is one of the five largest cities in Westeros, and even the smallest of the five cities, it is larger and more prosperous than Winterfell, the capital of the North.
Now the outer city and the inner city have been burned to the ground.
Promising to help the Mandalay family rebuild, and dealing with the Wildlings and the Strangers, Robert, who needs the support of all the families in the North, will not break his promise.
Even though he hated to deal with business, he still had the patience and in the name of the emperor, he summoned the people to come and start the work.
Of course, it was Prime Minister Eddard Stark who was actually presiding over the reconstruction.
It is the most important trading port in the north.
The White Harbor quay was first rebuilt at the suggestion of Friedrich August, because the city was in ruins, and the economic port was all the more important.
Even if White Harbor is uninhabited, there is no problem in carving out an open space around the docks for trading.
"Your Majesty, Prince Stannis is here. ”
The soldiers who were on duty at the dock hurriedly reported that Robert, who was in the camp in the city and was dealing with affairs with Ed, was stunned, then put down the papers in his hand and slowly got up.
"Ed, let's take a look. ”
The two soon arrived at the humble but busy New White Harbor Pier.
Seeing the patterns of the sails on those Dragonstone battleships, Robert sneered at his brother who came to him: "What the hell is that?"
Stannis, who was not pleasant in appearance and personality, did not speak, but Melisandre, the red-robed woman beside him, said, "It's the flaming red-hearted griffin." ”
"Huh. Hearing this, Robert suddenly sneered.
Arthur had said that the priests of the Church of Lachlo were not simple and were very good at demagogy.
I also heard rumors that the stupid brother Stannis burned the statue of the Seven Gods, converted to the Lord of Light, and had the Red God Priestess use blood magic to kill Lan Li.
"Tell me, Stannis, who is this woman, who is she, and who is she? Did I ask her?"
As the emperor's majestic and domineering words came out, Barristan, Francis, Ryan, and Varian all showed unkindness to the red-robed woman.
They had all come into contact with the priests of Lahllo, the Lord of Light, whether they were bald red-robed monks, red-haired priestesses, Penelope, or Soros.
Arthur had warned of the strangeness of these priests, none of whom liked it, and were unusually guarded.
On the side of Dragonstone, there are not a few people who are loyal to their faith and dedicate their bodies and minds to Rahlo, the Lord of Light, and when they saw Barristan and others reaching out and pressing their swords, they were not to be outdone.
The two sides faced off in an instant.
Seeing this, Robert frowned, waved his hand, and asked his brother, "Okay, don't be so excited, Stannis, tell me, do you want to be emperor?"
Stannis: "Joffrey is not in your blood, I am the first heir to the throne. ”
"That's right. Ed said bitterly, "But... Now His Majesty has canonized Lane, Varian, and Arthur as princes......"
Stannis lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "I received the ravens of the Night's Watch, and Maester Aemon said that the savage army is heading south and is about to attack the Great Wall, and I want to go to support. ”
"To the Great Wall?"
Arthur saw the future by mentioning that Stannis would go north to support the Wall.
Robert also took this into account, so he did not kill his brother who rebelled against him as soon as they met.
"Yes. ”
"But how many supplies do you have?"
Stannis thought that the eldest brother had suddenly changed for the better, and was ready to provide him with supplies: "It will probably last for a month." ”
Robert: "Oh, give us half a month's worth of food." ”
This bastard emperor really won't get better, he's still such a bastard!
Stannis was unhappy, but the Emperor would not refuse his request, and besides, White Harbor was in ruins, and it needed to be rebuilt, and there must be a shortage of manpower and food.
Hearing that the emperor wanted to support the night watchman, Francis, who thought that rebuilding White Harbor first and opening up the economic situation was the most important thing, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, our people have to guard against Kevon Lannister, and we want to rebuild White Harbor, and I am afraid that the soldiers who can go north will not be able to mobilize much for the time being." ”
"It's true that people are needed everywhere. There were no soldiers, but Robert didn't care, "Then I'll take a team with me." ”
"What? no!" Eddard, Francis, Barristan, Ryan, and Varian all objected.
Robert snorted, "I am the Emperor!
Ed: "......"
was speechless, but everyone immediately thought of Arthur, with him to assist the brave fat emperor, I am afraid that he will be surrounded by a lot, and he is sure to kill him.
"Alright, I've made up my mind, Barristan, Francis, and Ryan you go pick people, Varian stays here, supervises the rebuilding of White Harbor for me, hurry up and get ready, we'll leave tomorrow. ”
In this ruined White Harbor, the big fat emperor has stayed and feels like he is going to mold, and he goes north to support the Great Wall, not only to kill the enemy and relieve the boredom, but also to get rid of those annoying affairs.
I heard that the savage spearwoman is very wild and very strong.
Win against Mance Rader and capture a few beautiful spearwomen to play.
The belligerent and materialistic Emperor will definitely not stay long in the ruined White Harbor, and Eddard, Barristan, Francis, and others who know him have long expected it.
Just as Emperor Robert, Stannis, Barristan, Francis, and Lane were preparing to head north to support the Night's Watch.
Take a boat ride to the Arryn Valley and step inside the Eagle's Nest.
Petyr Berish soon went from Duke of Harrenhal to Lady Lyza, the ruler of the Arryn Valley!
Lysa, who is obsessed with him, is easy to control.
The power held by Littlefinger is no different from that of the Lord of the Valley!
But that's not enough......
Unaware of the situation of the Great Wall, thinking that it was just an invasion of ordinary wildlings, Littlefinger thought that the Emperor and Eddard would soon defeat the wildlings, and then swung his army south to fight the Lannisters again.
It's a pity that his abacus crackled.
But I don't know.
After Emperor Robert sailed north on the Dragonstone battleship to support the Great Wall, Ed immediately sent a raven to deliver a letter to Arrynval.
He grew up in the Eagle's Nest as Jon Arryn's adopted son at the age of eight.
Most of the nobles of the Vale of Arryn know him!
Arthur, who revealed the plot, and Ed's family all knew that the eldest daughter, Sansa, was taken to Eagle's Nest by the conspirator Littlefinger.
When Lady Lyza fell from the moon gate and turned into a pulp.
Because of Ed Stark's letters, the Reuss, Weywood, Hunter, Redford, Belmore, and Tamperton have secretly formed the League of the Righteous.
As soon as they learn of the death of Lady Lyza, Robin Arryn's guardian of Robin Arryn, they immediately attack Eagle's Nest!
As the Prime Minister of the Empire, Ed can do things in the name of the Emperor.
"Petyr Berish, you've happened!"
Littlefinger was still struggling to control the Eagle's Nest, when suddenly, all of his men were brought under control, and Jon Royce and the others appeared in full gear.
Looking at these valley nobles, Little Finger did not panic in the slightest, remained calm, and still looked casual, and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what you mean?"
Hearing this, Jon Royce snorted coldly and took out the letter sent by Eddard to the ravens with Emperor Robert Qianming.
Then he said loudly: "Petyr Berish, it is time for you to stand trial for the murder of the former Prime Minister Jon Arryn, the murder of Lady Ryza, and the betrayal of His Majesty the Emperor and the Prime Minister!"
After that, he said to the red-haired girl who was claimed by Littlefinger to be his illegitimate daughter, Aaron Shi Dong: "Miss Sansa Stark, Prime Minister Ed is waiting for you to come home." ”
The surrounding valley nobles and soldiers were murderous.
looked like he was going to put himself to death, and he was very calm on the surface, but Little Finger was really panicked in his heart, and his desire to survive was very strong: "Everyone, how could I betray Your Majesty and the Prime Minister?"
"This must be a misunderstanding!"
Jon Royce: "It's useless to quibble, the letters are signed by His Majesty Robert St. Loren and Prime Minister Eddard Stark, not the Lannisters of King's Landing!"
