"Midsummer Islands!" said Magic Mountain.

Everyone was stunned.

"The Midsummer Islands are in the southernmost sea, and there are several small countries in the archipelago, in fact, they are several small tribes, and it is time to include the Midsummer Islands in the territory of Westeros. Moshan glanced at the audience and said slowly.

"Your Majesty, please lead the navy of Qingting Island to conquer the Midsummer Islands. Count Horace Redwin said.

"Count Horace Redwin, I will give you a thousand Royal Navy warships, and give you three months to take the Midsummer Islands. ”

Horace knelt down on one knee: "The minister obeys the order, and within two months, take the Midsummer Islands." ”

"Oh, two months, what if you win?"

"The minister is willing to make a military order. Horace Redwin snapped.

"Good. Magic Mountain looked at Prime Minister Jon Clinton, "Prime Minister, please draft a military order for Earl Horace to sign." ”

"Your Majesty, the Midsummer Islands have been friends with Westeros for a long time, the fruits on their islands are selling well in King's Landing, and many royal nobles are also sitting in the city of King's Landing, and Your Majesty is going to conquer ......"

"It's not me who conquers, it's Count Horace Redwyn who conquers. ”

"Your Majesty, the kingdom has been at war for many years, winter has come again, and soon, it will snow in King's Landing. I don't think it's appropriate to send troops to fight in the southern Midsummer Islands. ”

"Prime Minister Jon, I've made up my mind, don't say anything more. Demon Mountain said categorically.

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Prime Minister Jon, your shortcomings are that you don't know how to be flexible, you are old-fashioned, and you don't have a high enough vision. ”

Jon Clinton didn't seem to hear what His Majesty said about him, so he asked his attendants to bring pen and paper, and wrote the military order on the table of the royal ministers.

Count Horace Redwyn stepped forward in a huff and signed the military order.

The nobles of the Riverbend knew that Horace had no military talent, that he was a gentleman, and that his greatest advantage was that he knew the characteristics of every virgin house in King's Landing, and that he was a great connoisseur of traveling and having fun.

Horace Redwin's own martial arts are also very average, and when he fights, he still escapes quickly.

The Magic Mountain used Horace Redwyn to conquer the Midsummer Islands, and no one was optimistic about him, whether it was the nobles of the Riverbend or the courtiers and generals of the dynasty.

Under such circumstances, Horace dared to sign a military order, which was to cut off his life in vain.

It may not matter if Horace Redwyn's life was lost, but the king had put a thousand warships into his hands, and it was very likely that he would suffer heavy losses.

On the islands of the Midsummer Islands, there are several small countries, they are good at fighting on the mountains and high trees, and the navy also has them, but they are all small boats piloted by several people, and they are very fast, and they come and go like flying. The warriors of the Midsummer Islands have good archery skills, and their arrows have survived poison.

Jon Clinton wanted to make a proposal to the Magic Mountain, suggesting that he be the commander-in-chief of the naval fleet, but the Magic Mountain ordered him not to participate in any military affairs of the kingdom, so he was very uncomfortable and held back his words.

Among the courtiers, there were many wise courtiers, and there were many military-talented generals, and Jon Clinton was a little surprised that none of the courtiers and generals stood up to remind His Majesty to be cautious about using Horace Redwin.

In fact, it was not that there were no courtiers and generals who stood up, and when Jon bowed his head to write the military order, several courtiers and generals stood up, but they were all stopped by the eyes of the magic mountain.

More courtiers and generals tacitly did not move again, and they remained silent.

Perhaps His Majesty the King will ride the dragon himself, he is in the sky, and Horace Redwyn is in the sea.

His Majesty eliminated Velas Tyrell and reused the Redwyn family, and the nobles saw this clearly. The Redwin family and the Tyrell family have had many marriages and have a deep relationship, and after the magic mountain killed all the people of the Tyrell family, it was not taboo against the Redwin family.

The Redwin family's world-selling 'Qingting Island Liquor', Magic Mountain became the only agent before he sat on the Iron Throne, making incalculable money. Moreover, it will continue to make money.

Probably for this reason, His Majesty decided to help the Redwyn family take the remaining islands and more than double the size of the sea.

Or, the Redwin family has already reached some kind of tacit understanding with the Magic Mountain that is not known to outsiders, or an agreement.

The Midsummer Islands are more than two thousand miles from the coastline of Dorne, and the owner of the most exclusive women's house in King's Landing, Sataya, is from the Midsummer Islands. During Robert's time, there was also an exiled prince from the Midsummer Islands who became Robert's courtier. The exiled prince hoped that Robert would lend him troops to fight back, and Robert agreed to him drunk, but Robert returned to the palace after a few days of fooling around in the women's courtyard and forgot about it completely.

In the end, the prince was unable to borrow the army, and eventually became one of Robert's generals, and participated in the national competition when Eddard Stark was Prime Minister, and was eliminated in the spear competition.

When it comes to the Midsummer Islands, the courtiers and generals of King's Landing and the nobles of the Riverlands are no strangers. It was in the southernmost part of the world as they knew it, because the weather was hot, and even in the dead of winter, the islands were still as warm as spring, and the people of the islands had two characteristics, the first was that they liked to decorate with feathers, and the second was that their skin was as dark as the night.

Count Horace Redwin signed the warrant and handed it to Baron Swayne, the captain of the Kingsguard, who took it, turned and walked up the stairs, handing it to the Magic Mountain.

Magic Mountain took the military order, glanced at it, and had to say that Horace was a military straw bag, but his handwriting was very good, and he was a nobleman who had been trained by reading.

"Commander-in-Chief Wagner Garr, you are the deputy of Count Horace Redwin, lead the Royal Navy fleet of a thousand ships, and set out in ten days, together with Count Horace Redwin, to take the Midsummer Islands and bring me the three kings of the islands to King's Landing. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Wagner Garr, the Minister of the Sea, stood up and bowed.

"Lord Davos Seaworth, you are the vanguard general of this army. ”

Davos Seaworth is an absolute expert in the water conditions of all seas.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Count Onion said in a muffled voice.

"Count Horace, you go to the Satanya Ladies House in the Old City, and bring me the Satanya mother and daughter, and say that I have an invite. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Although Horace Redwin was appointed by the Magic Mountain as the commander-in-chief of the Naval Expeditionary Force, the vanguard, the adjutant general, and the thoughts on the island, the Magic Mountain arranged them for him one by one.

Horace Redwyn is a puppet general in name. However, the strength of the Redwin family is not underestimated by any big noble. Among all the great nobles, whether it is the Mormont family of Bear Island, the Hightower family of Old Town, or the Lannister family of the West, only the navy of the Redwin family has long been the only noble force that can resist the navy of the Iron Islands head-on.

Through Tywin's efforts, the Lannisters of the Western Territory have only a few dozen naval warships, and the Redwin family has more than three hundred naval warships, which is more than all other noble navies combined. In the Robert era, the Redwin family's navy easily crushed the Royal Navy fleet.

Robert's Royal Navy fleet, at its peak, numbered just over fifty ships. The number of ships and soldiers in a class was kept at about thirty, and if there were more warships and soldiers, the royal family would not be able to afford it, and it would not be able to pay the military salary.

Soon, in the throne hall, the Magic Mountain arranged the generals, logistics, commanders and accompanying scholars for the navy on the expedition to the Midsummer Islands.

While waiting for Sataya's mother and daughter to arrive, the Magic Mountain stood up and said, "Sir Renard Westerling, stand up. ”

Renard Westerling stepped out of the queue.

"In the name of the old and new gods, Guardian of the Seven Kingdoms, Minister of War of the Seven Kingdoms, Duke of Dragonstone, Dragon Knight, Lightbringer, Son of God who slew the Night King, King of the Crabclaw Peninsula, King of the Roynards, Andals and the Ancestors, Gregor Cregan, hereby bestows upon Sir Renard Westerling of Crag Rock City the title of Duke, Lord of High Court City, and Lord of Riverlands. ”

Renard Westerling's hands trembled slightly, he knelt down on one knee, bowed his head, and pressed his right fist against the heart of his left chest, swearing allegiance to the Magic Mountain, and swearing in the name of the gods, old and new—never betray!

Sansa Stark's beautiful face flushed slightly.

Lady Catelyn Tully, who was next to Eddard Stark, was also very excited, she looked at her beloved daughter Sansa, and Sansa was also looking at her, and the two mothers and daughters were very excited.

After Renard had taken the oath and did not get up, he motioned to Sansa, and Sansa Stark stepped out and knelt down on one knee beside Renard to the Magic Mountain, and in the name of the Duchess, she swore allegiance to His Majesty the King and the Queen, and finally swore the same oath: never betray!

The standing Demon Mountain was imposing on the seven steps, and he raised his right hand to signal Renard and Sansa to get up. The young duke and duchess stood up together, their faces radiant.

Demon Mountain looked at the nobles of the Riverbend Lands and said, "In the name of the gods, in the throne hall, let the royal family and the courtiers and generals of the royal family see the oath of allegiance of the nobles of the Riverbend Lands to the new lord, Count Clenne, starting with you." ”

The words of the Magic Mountain are orders.

Earl Crane of Red Lake City was named by the Magic Mountain, and he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, strode out, knelt down to Renard and Sansa, and swore allegiance.

Half an hour later, many nobles in the riverbend swore allegiance to Renard one by one, Renard spoke a wooden language, but Sansa knew books and etiquette, and was carefully cultivated by her parents since she was a child, and was proficient in all aristocratic etiquette and coping, she responded to the oath of every nobleman with good words, politely appeased every nobleman, responded decently, and spoke calmly. From start to finish, there was nothing wrong.

*

In the afternoon, the gate of the Red Fort was wide open, and two warhorses slowly walked out, and immediately two white-robed knights, the Kingsguards. They were followed by the Royal Guard, led by Poron and Podrick Pine.

Behind the royal guards, there are His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen. Both were on horseback, and behind them were Daenerys Targaryen, Arlene Martell, Prince of Dorne, Prime Minister Jon Clinton, Duke Eddard Stark and his wife, Duke Renard Westerling and his wife, Duke Gendry Baratheon, Prime Minister Jon Clinton, Intelligence Secretary Bernie, Chancellor of the Exchequer Littlefinger Petyr Berish, Great Master Koben, Sea Secretary Wagner Garr, Commander-in-Chief of the King's Landing Garrison, Rover Spicer, Kingsguard Baron Swain, and the intrepid Barristan Selmi... ... Behind the courtiers and generals were the nobles from the Riverlands and their accompanying knights. Behind this group of people are the three horsemen of the Imperial Forest Iron Guard, and the three golden-robed hundred-man team is broken.

This group of hundreds of people, led by two Kings guards and the Royal Guard, crossed Kings Street, went to Mud Gate Square, passed through the Mud Gate Gate, and headed for the Royal Navy dock on the Blackwater River.

The final location is a raised platform on the Royal Navy Pier that is heavily covered with tent canvas.

This is a high platform that is deeply mysterious to the nobles of the river. Whether they came to King's Landing by boat or by Rose Avenue to King's Landing, they would cross the Blackwater River, and when they crossed the Blackwater River, they would see this heavily guarded high platform.

When the people reached the high platform, the soldiers had already formed a defensive formation, blocking the fishermen, porters, sailors, mercenaries, servants, freemen, and captains and their retinues from all over the world on the perimeter.

The nobles of the Riverbend saw a group of pyromancers emerge from the crowd, and under the guidance of the royal guards, the crowd of onlookers separated entered the inner circle, and His Majesty the King hurriedly greeted him, with very modest words and expressions.

This was a great surprise to the nobles of the Riverlands.

The Fire Warlocks were no longer famous in the Seven Kingdoms, and even though they could refine the terrible wildfire, their status, worth, and reputation could not be compared to the bishops and monks of the Great Sanctuary of Baylor.

Once the status of the fire warlocks of the Seven Kingdoms was above the bishops and monks of the Seven Gods, when the dragon disappeared and the magic gradually lost its power, the various magic spells of the fire warlocks were also seriously affected, and they gradually lost their power, and their status plummeted, and finally fell into a situation that the common people did not respect.

"Great Wise Man. "The Magic Mountain has great respect for the old man who is the leader of the fire warlock. The nobles have never seen the Magic Mountain and have a friendly side, which is simply unbelievable and unbelievable.

In a short time, the crowd on the periphery surged, and the crowd of onlookers automatically separated from each other, and a group of people arrived, who was the archbishop of the Great Chapel of Baylor.

The archbishop wears a high seven-star crown adorned with jade. Behind the archbishop are the seven archbishops and their friars, nuns.

The monks and nuns followed in two columns behind the seven archbishops.

His Majesty the King, His Majesty the Queen, the Wise Man, the Archbishop, Her Majesty Daenerys, Alene, Prince of Dorne, Duke Stark of the North, Duke Renard of Riverbend, Gendry Baratheon, Duke of Stormlands, and others exchanged courtesies, His Majesty the King gestured, and the Great Wise Man saluted the King and Queen with his hands folded, and then led the three firemancers to the high platform.

The canvas covering the high platform was pulled open by the great wise man himself, and a huge object shining with a luster of steel appeared in front of everyone. It is a heavy cannon shaped like an iron dragon, and next to the cannon stands Tob Mott, the most famous weapon master of King's Landing, and Gendry Baratheon, the 'Blacksmith Duke', who has just ascended the high platform.
