At first, the descriptions of these soldiers were "reliable", but when they described the sudden slaughter of a "devil" army in the rear, their descriptions began to tend to be "magical", and they used extremely heavy pen and ink to describe the "long-horned demons" they saw:

"That monster is 3 meters tall and has a huge body like a hill! There are 1-meter-long horns on his head, and a pair of eyes the size of a goose egg, red and red, glowing like two rubies! With a weapon made of flame in his hand and armor made of rubies, he walked as heavy as an elephant! The ground is dented because of this! No one was his opponent, he was invulnerable, the spears that pierced his body couldn't stop him at all, every soldier he hit had their brains burst or flew upside down, and behind him there was a horde of demonic armies, monsters as invulnerable as he was! As if recalling something terrible, the soldier shuddered.

"That's him! He was the one who killed Lord Randolph Tully! That's him! The soldier said in a trembling voice.

"That's too!" Mace Tyrell did not believe in these myths in his heart, and he maliciously interpreted them as lies made up by soldiers to shirk their role as deserters.

"Lord Duke, in fact, I think that 'horned demon' is none other than Robert Baratheon!" A deserter dressed as an officer spoke. As an officer, he apparently knew more than the average soldier.

"Wasn't he slain by Count Randolph Tully?" Mace Tyrell wondered.

"No, I don't think he's dead, but if you think about it, does the ancestral armor of House Baratheon have two long antlers? Didn't he hear that his weapon was a warhammer? "The officer's statement was clearly more coherent and rational than the soldier's.

This also makes it clear, as a nobleman's armor, of course, is much better than that of ordinary soldiers, so it will cause the illusion of "invulnerability", and his weapon war hammer is indeed extraordinary, so that the height of 3 meters is mostly exaggerated, and the flame weapon and ruby armor are mostly because of blood. This dawned on Mace Tyrelll.

At this time, the Bachelor of Science came in, as a bachelor of the High Court, the Bachelor of Science was rich-looking, apparently well fed, he looked amiable, about 60 years old, with gray hair and Mediterranean-like. He strode in so hurriedly that the necklaces around his neck collided with each other, making a sound like a wind chime.

"Lord Duke, I was about to look for you when the raven sent a letter from Count Coffrey of Cen Shu Fort asking for help!" The Bachelor of Science handed the letter to the Duke of Metz Tyrellle.

The letter was written in a hurry, and the handwriting was very sloppy, and it was clear that the situation was very urgent. Mace Tyrell read the letter in a cursory manner, and after checking it with the description of the deserters, he basically understood the situation of the battle, only knowing that his own vanguard was defeated, but he did not know anything about the casualties of Robert's army.

This letter was actually sent yesterday morning when Fort Cyntree was besieged by Robert, but unfortunately it was delayed by a day, so that Duke Mace Tyrell understood that Robert Baratheon was still besieging Fort Cyntree after defeating Randolph Tully's vanguard.

So he immediately led the army and cautiously rushed to the camp of the Robert army under the city of Cen Shu Fort, only to find that the place was "empty". After communicating with the defenders of Cen Shu Fort, it was learned that in the early morning of this day, the Robert army had retreated, and it was already noon.

Frankly, Duke Metz Tyrell was both disappointed and a little happy at the "empty building" of Robert's army, which is to speak of his ambivalence.

On the one hand, our Grand Duke Mace Tyrell wants to make a difference, and on the other hand, he is afraid of death, but after some quiet thought, our Grand Duke Mace Tyrell suddenly has a plan.

He called Bachelor of Science over, and then asked, "Bachelor of Science, what do you think of the outcome of this battle of Cen Shu Tan?" Who is to blame for the demise of the vanguard forces? ”

This can stump the bachelor of science degree, it is simply a "proposition"! If he had truthfully said, "You, Grand Duke of Mestiril, because you like to procrastinate, you will not be able to support Randolph Tully in time, and as a result, the forward troops will be completely wiped out, and in the end, the main force will not even touch the butt on the opposite side, and the whole thing will be disgraced and defeated!" If such an answer is given, the grave grass of the bachelor of science will be two feet tall next year.

After holding it for a long time, the human-like bachelor of science immediately thought of the "standard answer": "Although our High Court Army suffered a slight setback, in the end, under the leadership of the great tactical genius Lord Mace Tyrelll, successfully defeated Robert Baratheon's rebels!" Hearing the answer of the bachelor's degree, the Duke of Mestiril nodded with satisfaction, which was obviously very much in line with his heart.

Seeing that his "standard answer" had been approved by Duke Metz Tyrellle, as if encouraged, he immediately continued: "The main responsibility for the destruction of this advance force is to Count Randolph Tully!" Because he was greedy for merit and did not obey your wise leadership, he led to the tragedy of the destruction of the forward troops! He said righteous words, and secretly glanced at the face of the Grand Duke of Mestilil, and saw that his face was full of joy, and his heart immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

His rhetoric can be called impeccable, completely turning the black into white, the battle of Cen Shutan is a fact, and the corpses on the battlefield are still being cleaned up. It is also true that Randolph Tare's forward troops were defeated in a battle with Robert's army. It is also a fact that Robert led his army to evacuate the city of Cen Shu Fort and "escape" to the north.

The most powerful lie lies in the fact that it is nine percent true and one false, so that those who are not personally experienced it can't see the flaws at all, and really think that the Grand Duke Mace Tyrell led the army to arrive later, defeat Robert's army, and save the decline!

Even the soldiers under his command did not know this, and the nobles of the High Court had been hungry for honor and victory for so long that they were more than willing to help Duke Mace Tyrell tell this big lie. In this way, they don't have to bear the title of "the worst warrior of the Seven Kingdoms", and they can go back and brag to others, even the trophies are ready-made on the battlefield, and they are simply invulnerable!

To poor Randolph Tully's heavenly spirit? Who cares! Those who defend the dead are fools, he is dead anyway, and he will not come back to accuse us of injustice to him! Even if you defend him, what's the point of successfully defending his honor? The dead will not repay your kindness. So! Brother Randolph Tully, you can carry this pot obediently!

"We should write to His Majesty the King of King's Landing and report to him the good news of this victory at Cen Shu Tan!" The Bachelor of Science immediately proposed.

Mestiril's face was full of red light, and he said proudly: "That's right, but shouldn't we also announce the news of this great victory to the Seven Kingdoms, so that the whole Seven Nations can know about our great achievements in suppressing the rebels?" ”

"Yes, yes! I'll write right away! The bachelor of science hurriedly withdrew from the big tent, slandering Mace Tyrelll's brazenness in his heart, "Not only did he plagiarize the credit of Randolph Tully and distort the truth of the facts, but he also shamelessly wanted to announce this fabricated "great victory" to the world, and he was not afraid that the cowhide would be blown up!" "Doesn't the Bachelor of Science seem to have forgotten that he himself is Mace Tyrelll's biggest accomplice?

Actually, it's not surprising at all, because in the original plot direction, after Robert was defeated by Randolph Tully at Cen Shutan, didn't he take the credit for himself? Randolph Tully was still alive at that time! Besides, he's dead now! So, people like Mace Tyrell are really the best example of the "worst boss" in ancient and modern times!

After finalizing the tone of the "Cen Shu Tan Victory", Grand Duke Mace Tyrell summoned the "deserters" again, and they were happy to think that they were finally going to be rewarded, after all, now that the truth has been revealed, the words of himself and others have been verified to be the truth.

They couldn't help but fantasize about what kind of reward they would get, whether they would be able to become knights or even get their own fiefdoms? At least you can get dozens of golden dragons as rewards, so that you don't have to worry about the rest of your life! Maybe I can buy a piece of land, become a farmer, and then marry a little girl with a beautiful face and give birth to two white fat boys. They're still dreaming!

I saw the Duke of Mestiril in front of him cough solemnly and said: "Hmm~, in view of the credit of your timely report on the situation of the Battle of Cen Shu Tan, which is true after I verify it, I have decided to ••••••" Those guys were all excited, and they all thought that they would definitely reward them next, such as: I decided to give each of you a thousand gold dragons as a reward, or I decided to give each of you 5 acres of land, or even I decided to canonize you as knights in person.

Who knew that the next words of Grand Duke Mace Tyrell were: "I have decided to be lenient with you, and I will not hang you as deserters!" The "deserters" were dumbfounded, "What? Boss, are you sure you didn't read the wrong manuscript? Shouldn't we be rewarded? We are loyal and commendable, and we have come to report this news to you day and night, and our legs are about to break, so even if we don't reward a few golden dragons, we still plan to treat us as deserters? ”

Mace Tyrelll's words then broke their hearts even more, "But the death penalty can be forgiven, but the living sin is unforgivable, come on!" Pull these deserters down and no one will be whipped twenty times! The sound of their "glass hearts" shattering can be heard in the air, and it is probably wrong to call them "glass hearts", even if they are hard-hearted, they will be shattered by this wave of "god" operations of Grand Duke Mace Tyrelll!

"Spare your life! Lord Duke, we are not deserters! We're just messengers who have come back to tell you news! Before they could cry, some of the guards dragged them out to carry out the order of twenty lashes, for the whip of this age was not as simple as a leather whip! When it was made, it was a whip inlaid with steel wire, and it was a tiger and a tiger, and there were metal barbs on the surface, and a whip could bring a large piece of flesh and blood, and twenty strokes? After this wave, they were enough to lie in bed for a month.

Soon, their screams could be heard outside the tent.
