Chapter 115: The Battle of the Four Kings
I don't know if it's Lan Li's bad luck, or if it's some mysterious power in the dark. This guy was the first to hang at the beginning of the war. Originally, Su Yuan also planned to let Stark cooperate with him to assist a new king who was quite pleasing to the eye. As a result, when this guy rescued him, he planted an ambush, not only did he not rescue Lan Li, but he even lost his life in King's Landing.
But even if Lan Li died, the war continued. The Battle of the Five Kings became the Four Kings. Ned Stark, Stannis Baratheon, Tywin Lannister, and Tully. Edmure rose up one after another, and the war swept through the entire Seven Kingdoms.
The Lannister's desperate propaganda and Ned's murder of Robert are used to stir up hatred of Stark in King's Landing. Stannis didn't care who killed Robert at all, but he just grabbed Joffrey who wasn't Robert's bloodline, so he was the first in line to the throne.
The Starks made it clear that the Lannisters were plotting to usurp the throne and Queen Cersei murdered King Robert. It is the banner of quelling the rebellion and supporting justice. Everyone has their own opinions, and no one can convince anyone. At this time, there can only be one way, whoever has the biggest fist, whoever says it is true.
It is worth mentioning that the Arryn family, who was supposed to be on the side of the Stark family, has always had an unclear attitude. Caitlin herself wrote a letter in an attempt to convince her sister, but unfortunately, the letter fell into disarray. It seems that Lysa Caitlin is planning to shrink behind the blood gate and not ask about the world.
But Su Yuan knew that this was definitely not the truth. Because between Lysa and Catelyn, there was another man, a very dangerous fellow, Littlefinger Baerich. After counting Ned, the relationship between the four can be said to be like this. Berish is Caitlyn's licking dog, but Caitlyn is married to Ned, and Lysa is Baitlin's licking dog.
Su Yuan now knew that in the siege in King's Landing, there was definitely the shadow of Berish. It is estimated that the old eunuch Varys was also involved. The reason is simple, Baesh has been in King's Landing for many years, and originally intended to use Ned as a pawn. But unexpectedly, after Ned entered King's Landing, all kinds of riotous operations disrupted Baelish's plan.
Baerich has a great weakness, unlike Cersei, Ned, or Lan Li, who has the support of a large family behind him. Berish had money but no soldiers, which made him extremely insecure. So he didn't hesitate to turn to Cersei. In his eyes, Cersei, a stupid woman, is much easier to deal with than Ned, who is unknown.
What he never expected was that he thought he had arranged it to the extreme, but two thousand gold robes, plus hundreds of killers from the Western Realm, plus a team of heavy cavalry, did not even leave Ned in King's Landing. Instead, he did Lan Li. Instead of giving Lannister an advantage, this allowed Stannis to easily take over the power of the Blue Rite. The power of the Deer family was lightly concentrated in Stannis's hands. This Baratheon is a ruthless character, and he directly gathers his army and goes straight to King's Landing.
The result of all this made Cersei very dissatisfied, and she almost cut down Berish. The only good news may be that they have finally retained a trump card in their hands. The Sassanid Stark, still in their hands. As expected, Sassanid at this time was still a fool.
"Sir Grant, the Duke has invited you to the meeting."
"I see."
House Stark's council chamber. Dozens of family representatives, large and small, gathered. Their lord, Duke Ned, suffered injustice in King's Landing. As a subordinate family, of course, they have to show something.
Su Yuan walked into the hall, and the originally noisy hall instantly became silent. Everyone looked at Su Yuan with an inexplicable gaze. What happened in King's Landing is no secret. In the past month, it has spread throughout the seven countries. Everyone knows that Su Yuan is a powerful wizard. The kind that can hit a hundred of them with magic. On this continent where magic has disappeared for thousands of years, Su Yuan's existence is as dazzling as a lighthouse on the sea.
Su Yuan ignored everyone's gaze, but directly walked past everyone and sat down beside Ned. No one objected, and in the face of a powerful wizard, no fool would pick a thorn in such a place. What's more, this is the will of Duke Ned, and no one says anything.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure you already know what happened in King's Landing. Cersei murdered the King, Robert Baratheon, my brother. She also tried to blame me. At the same time, the Killers of the West are openly besieging my family in King's Landing.
I'm Ned Stark, Lord of the North. Every Stark has the blood of the wolf in his veins. The flow of these bloodlines allows the Stark family to not fear any challenge, not to fear any enemy, and not to tolerate anyone's humiliation. The Lannisters have humiliated me, dishonored the blood of the running wolf. So, I will give back the humiliation they have placed on me.
Joffrey Lannister put on the crown. But we all know that he's just a post-luanlun mongrel. As of today, we in the North no longer recognize any king on the Iron Throne. We are no longer bound by anything in King's Landing. From this day forward, I, Ned Stark, am no longer the lord of the North, and I ...... He is the king of the North. ”
There was a brief silence, and then almost simultaneously all the vassals drew their swords, half-knelt on the ground, and shouted: King of the North.
Su Yuan faintly noticed that Luce Bolton of the Bolton family seemed to hesitate for a moment. But then he also knelt down. As a traverser, Su Yuan had already set his sights on several key figures in this battle in advance. He reckoned that Luthbolton might have received a secret letter from the West.
However, he also believes that the betrayal of the original Burton family is due to the death of Ned and the dragons of the North are leaderless. Rob's military talent is unparalleled in the world. But I don't know how to be a lord at all. The Burton family felt that Robb would not be able to go to the end, so they would choose to betray. And now, Ned Stark escaped King's Landing alive. And he changed his previous hesitant style and became decisive and ruthless. In this situation, if the Bolton family still wants to betray, they have to think about it. After all, in this world where knightly culture prevails, betraying one's lord is not a good reputation.
"Good. Then from now on, the northern frontier enters wartime mobilization. I ask each of you to lead all your warriors to assemble in Kalin Bay. After that, we went south along the King's Road, in the valley of the Three Forks, to join the army of the Tully family. There, we will show the continent the power of the North. ”
