Everything related to the battlefield of Haijiang City is surging here, but the real battlefield over there has already been brewing, and now it is gathering momentum and ready to move.

Knights and soldiers from all over Westeros gathered in Lannister Harbor, an important city in the west, and under the good command of the lords, they boarded the prepared riverbend warships.

Tomorrow morning they will embark on a war against the Iron Islands, some nervous, some excited, and some accustomed to it.

But most people are still optimistic about the outcome of this war, after all, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, but optimism is optimism, whether they can get out of the war, and even earn credit and glory is something that needs to be done with all their might.

Not to mention glory, in the face of small lives, no one dares to be careless when a soldier.

The lords who commanded the soldiers were relatively relieved of this, and when the convoy arrived at Lannister Harbor, the nobles of the bends on it naturally went to the cities of their good neighbors to the west.

The Duke of Metz in Riverlands declared at a military meeting that the war was impossible to lose, and now the most important thing was to pounce on the Iron Islands with a thunderbolt and beat the iron bastards with a crying father.

This kind of straightforward and reckless plan did not care about anything, which attracted the support of many people, and also caused the slander of a few people who were proficient in war, but it did not set off any waves, because King Robert, who commanded the whole situation, had not been careless to that extent.

King Robert was a big man, and he led his army into battle in the same style as he swept away like a storm. But that doesn't mean he's not careful, or that he's not cautious when it comes to war.

So he directly ignored Duke Mace's proposal, and chose to listen to the opinions of several other lords to arrange a counteroffensive plan and points.

During the pre-war preparation period, they had basically finalized the battle plan.

Stannis. Baratheon led an army against Great Wick, while the captain of the Kingsguard, Barristan. Selmy led the attack on Old Wick Island, while the remaining lords took charge of the other islands, and eventually counterattacked Pike Island, the core of the Iron Islands.

The general policy has been decided, but the specific aspects need to be discussed constantly, but as the departure time gets closer and closer, the plan has been refined.

Everything was ready, and after the last battle meeting, the lords left the hall to go about their business, and the young King Robert began to attend to some things other than the war.

"Some unidentified people are in various parts of the Seven Kingdoms?" Listening to the news from the mouth of the intelligence director Varys, King Robert couldn't help but be happy: "Wasn't there a guy who claimed to be the ancestor of Tywin a while ago, similar to that?" ”

"We don't know yet."

The bald intelligence chief Varys chuckled, "It is said that there is also a woman who claims to have descended from Meg. ”

"It's new."

Robert touched his chin when he heard this: "He has Nako? ”

Varys coughed dryly when he heard this, and was about to reply with a humorous remark, but the other party waved his hand: "Forget it, a bunch of circus clowns who came from nowhere, can't afford to make any waves, don't pay attention to them." ”

The bald intelligence chief then began to say the second thing.

"The farmers in the royal forest have reported that a group of wild boars in the forest has been very active recently, and something abnormal may have happened, and they hope that Your Majesty can send special personnel to deal with this matter."

"It must be because we don't have time to hunt." "The boars miss our dog barking," said Robert. ”

Apparently this was not a matter of concern, so Varys continued to speak.

"We should claim in one of the Iron Islands that there are rumors of miracles, the son of the drowned god, and the like, and that the son of the drowned god can raise the dead."

Resurrection of the dead?

Robert's mind moved, but then he waved his hand rather absurdly: "Sticks, clowns, liars, wild boars, the world is getting more and more chaotic - gods are above, Varys, can't you say something useful?" ”

"The Frey family has written to claim that the Duke of Lanley is now a guest in their Twin Cities, and they say—"

"Wade. Frey's old thing is confused? Hearing this, Robert said unhappily: "My little brother is honestly staying in the High Court, how can he appear in that broken castle of Old Walder?" ”

"They claim to have saved Duke Lanli from a kidnapper." As he spoke, the Chief of Intelligence pulled a parchment letter out of his sleeve and offered it with both hands.

Seeing this, Robert raised his eyebrows, took it and looked at it, his face couldn't help but darken.

"Let the stranger catch him! Namez. What's Tyrell up to? Actually took my little brother to the Shield Islands!? ”

The parchment letter clearly stated everything Lan Li had said when he lied to the Frey family, and he was kidnapped on the island and traveled all the way to Haijiang City near Twin River City, where he was finally rescued and sent to Twin River City.

Because of Rhaenys' "disappearance", the Frey family directly arranged the credit for saving Lan Li in the letter, and they thought that no one else saw it anyway, even if the boy said that there was someone else who saved him, King Robert probably wouldn't believe it.

However, this kind of careful thinking said that Lan Li didn't know, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care, and he might even be happier with it, because this was equivalent to the Frey family directly "taking the blame" for his whereabouts.

As for Robert, he knew that the letter had the seal of the Frey family, so naturally he would no longer regard it as gibberish, but because of this, he felt quite annoyed.

"Call me that Tyrellle, and I'll ask him what his pig brain thinks about taking a six-year-old child into battle!?"

Varys bowed and departed, and soon returned with the burly Duke of Mace.

However, when the young king was questioned, the Duke of Metz was at a loss.

"I have received your letter, Your Majesty." He was stunned and said, "You claimed that you wanted me to take Lan Li to the battlefield to see the world, so I took him to the Shield Islands, and then he fell ill-"

"When have I ever written such a letter?"

Robert interrupted him in surprise.

"Are you mistaken?"

This situation made the Duke of Mace's mind even more confused.

"But the letter is clearly marked with your seal, and your Majesty is obviously in the handwriting of Scholar Paischer, so it is impossible to be mistaken."

"No way, I didn't ask Pissil to write this letter, to send a six-year-old to war? How stupid is this to think of it? ”

"But—"

"Maybe it's a matter of scholars, Your Majesty."

Varys, who was on the side, saw that the two of them couldn't understand for a while, and couldn't help but whisper: "Maybe Scholar Paishir made a mistake, or ...... Or let the bad guys take advantage of the loopholes. You know, college scholars are too old to be vigilant. ”

"He has so many dogs in the tower, and he can still get people to take advantage of the loopholes?"

When Robert heard this, he asked rhetorically, but he also saw clearly that the Duke of Metz in front of him was also a "victim", so he gritted his teeth and said: "There must be something hidden in the kidnapping and forging letters." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Duke Metz on the side, and then said to Varys, "Send someone to investigate this matter, I want to find out who is beating my little brother's idea!" ”

The meaning was already clear, and while Varys nodded, the Duke of Metz next to him was also busy claiming that he would also carry out a corresponding investigation, so the matter was decided for the time being.

The Duke of Metz then retired, and the Chief of Intelligence reported the last thing, which was also a family affair for the young king.

"On the question of the naming of the prince, the king wrote to ask for your opinion."

"Didn't you tell her all last time, let her decide this kind of trivial matter." Hearing this, Robert waved his hand impatiently and said, "My son has not yet been born, so I think about the name, and the woman is idle all day long?" ”

"Her Royal Highness says she wants to name her child Joffrey, ask for your permission."

"Joffrey?"
