The impact of the sudden declaration of war on the Stormlands in the Bends was enormous, and it also pushed the situation in the Seven Kingdoms into a more complex and unpredictable situation.

However, Riverbend's approach is not too surprising.

The wise nobles of the Seven Kingdoms had already spied on the ambitions of the Tyrells and the Viscount Caesar from this move.

For the Lannisters, the choice of the Bend Lands was bad, but it wasn't to the worst -

At least the purpose of the Riverbend Army was not King's Landing.

If the Riverbend army chooses to attack King's Landing, then they will be the real enemy, with little hope of victory.

Of course, the choice of the Bend Land now has caused great trouble for the Lannisters.

"Uncle Kaivon, are you sure you can pull this kind of army out to fight?"

At the head of King's Landing, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Tyrion Lannister, looked at the army below, his brow furrowed.

This is probably the worst army he has ever seen, if this can still be called an army.

The team couldn't stand in line, and some people even sat directly on the ground, and the weapons were basically wooden guns, simple small round shields, and even hoes, and real steel swords were only available to a small number of people.

As for the armor, there were even fewer of them, and most of the soldiers were in tatters even with their clothes, no different from a group of refugees fleeing the famine.

"No way." Kevon Lannister was also a little helpless, "These are all urgently recruited from King's Landing, and there will definitely be problems with the quality. ”

"I suggest that you can recruit less, 50,000 is too much, pick out the elite from them, and reduce it to 8,000 or 10,000, so that the supply of weapons and equipment can barely keep up, and the combat effectiveness may be improved." Tyrion suggested, "And now such an army ...... I suspect that if the war starts, I am afraid that most of them will run away. ”

"It doesn't matter. I'll try to avoid fighting the riverwans in the field, and defending the castle with these soldiers should be fine. ”

"I'm afraid you won't be able to walk to the castle in the Stormlands with them."

Kaivon sighed, and finally told the truth:

"You don't understand what I really mean by doing this. King's Landing...... There are too many people. ”

Tyrion was stunned for a moment, but finally understood, and his tone became low:

"And there is too little food......"

"Yes." Kaivon nodded, lowering his voice, "The huge population of King's Landing was originally supported by the transportation of food from the Riverlands and the Riverlands, and now the Riverlands have followed Eddard Stark, and the Riverlands ...... The Rose Avenue has also been blocked, prohibiting the food from coming to King's Landing.

If this continues, it is only a matter of time before King's Landing runs out of food, and once there is a shortage of food, the city is prone to riots. ”

"That's why you've recruited so many young men into battle."

"Yes. Since riots are inevitable, we must keep them under control. These 50,000 young people, I must take them to the battlefield. Don't expect them to cause much trouble in Riverbay, at least, don't stay in King's Landing and cause trouble for us. ”

Tyrion felt a chill in his heart.

He knew that these people were sent to the Stormlands to be cannon fodder.

And without these young people, even if there is a riot in King's Landing in the future, the remaining old and weak women and children will be relatively easier to suppress.

He wanted to speak out against this cruel decision, but he couldn't come up with a better proposal.

If these 50,000 young men stay in King's Landing, it will definitely be a huge hidden danger.

"After I'm gone, King's Landing's food will be forbidden, and all will be collected and managed in a unified manner, remembering that the army must be supplied first, and then the civilians. Once someone instigates a riot, you must nip it in the bud! ”

"Good ......," Tyrion said in a harsh tone, feeling like a big rock in his heart.

At this moment, a sharp voice came from behind:

"Why did you take my daughter! Why take my daughter! ”

When Tyrion turned around, he saw his sister Cersei running over in a rage.

"Good morning, dear sister." Tyrion said hello.

It's a pity that my dear sister ignored him, and rushed straight to Kai Feng and asked:

"Why send Miseta away!"

Kaivon responded in a flat tone:

"This is our agreement with Dorne. Mycella must marry Tristan Martell. ”

"But she's only ten years old! Only 10 years old! How can anyone marry at the age of ten? ”

"Of course not immediately married." "But we must send her to Halberd City lest the Martell family reverse their marriage." Did you know that Prince Doran had just gone to Starfall City to meet Samwell Caesar? At this critical juncture, we cannot afford Dorne's back-and-forth. ”

"So you sold my daughter!" Cersei screamed, "Just like you sold me like a mare to Robert in the first place!" ”

"How can there be such a beautiful mare as you, my dear old lady." Tyrion tries to soften Cersei's attitude with compliments.

Unfortunately, Cersei didn't appreciate it at all.

"Damn gnomes!" Cersei gritted her teeth and looked at her brother, "If you dare to say more with that foul mouth, I'll cut it with a knife!" ”

When Cersei said this, her fierce gaze was fixed on Tyrion's throat.

That's what she really wants to scratch.

…… One day, when you are drowned in tears, your brother will choke your pale neck and take your life......

Once again, the vicious prophecy of the toad witch reverberated in my ears.

Cersei regretted that she hadn't strangled the dwarf brother in the cradle.

"There's no need to get excited, Cersei." Uncle Kai Feng persuaded him with good words, "Mysera will be respected and treated well in Yang Halberd City, as Prince Dolang has promised us. Tristan is also a good boy, and Mycella will be happy if she marries him. ”

"Nope! She won't! Cersei screamed.

She's going to die!

…… You will have three children. They will have gold as a crown and gold as a shroud......

Cersei seemed to be able to see the ugly face of the toad witch in front of her eyes.

Kaivon couldn't understand his niece's hysteria at all, and could only think that the mother was overly sad because she was reluctant to give up her daughter, but at this time, where did he have the leisure to care about this.

So, he called two guards and forcibly took the entangled Cersei down.

"I will get my revenge! I'll get my revenge! Cersei was stubbornly exclaiming, "You've taken Little Joe, and you're going to take Micella!" I will never forget! One day, I'll destroy what you hold dear! I swear! ”

Kevon shook his head and sighed, "How did Cersei become like this?" ”

Tyrion shrugged, "Maybe brother Jaime isn't there, she's not in a good mood." I also want to comfort my sister, but unfortunately, I don't have my brother's pretty face. ”

"I don't say this kind of thing in public in the future." Kaivon glared at his nephew, "Sooner or later, your big mouth will get you in trouble." ”

"Understood." Tyrion pursed his lips and reached out to pull them to his lips.

Kaivon also knew his nephew's temperament, so he didn't say much, and instead said, "Speaking of Jaime, do you know where he is now?" ”

"Those who only know the Tyrells should have chosen to take the sea route. It's a smart choice. We have no power at sea, we can't intercept it at all. Tyrion pouted, "It seems that if my father wants to get his beloved son back, he will have to find a way to go to the Great Wall." ”

Kai Feng frowned, shook his head after a while, and said:

"Forget it, let's talk about this later. We've had enough trouble now. ”

"Yes. And Micella, how are you going to send it to Dorne? It will definitely not work on land, I am afraid that I will run into the army of the river bay, and as for the ...... at sea"

"You can only go by sea." Kaivon apparently had a plan, "We'll send her to Braavos first, and the Dornians will pick her up there, and we'll leave it alone." ”

"That's a good idea. Stannis probably wouldn't have thought we'd send people to Braavos, and if he only intercepted merchant ships heading south, he would have missed Mycera. ”

"That's all there is to it." Seeing that the army below was almost over, Kaivon took the helmet from his attendant and prepared to set out.

Before leaving, he finally explained to his nephew:

"Eddard Stark has been stopped by your father to the north, and the Rivermen to the south won't attack for the time being, so the only threat to King's Landing is Stannis' fleet at sea. So, keep an eye on the situation in Blackwater Bay, and if Stannis's fleet comes to attack, you must do your best to hold the city. ”

"I didn't expect that I would also be a general one day." Tyrion whistled, but then, perhaps thinking he was too frivolous, quickly said, "Stannis don't want to set foot in King's Landing before I fall!" ”

Kaivon patted his diminutive nephew on the shoulder and said solemnly:

"Tyrion, they don't like you, but in my eyes, you're the best of the Lannisters' younger generation. Defend the city well and don't let me down. ”

There seemed to be a glitter in Tyrion's eyes, and he took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions, and said:

"Uncle, you really should have said more to my father."

Kevon laughed, "Sooner or later, your father will recognize your excellence. ”

With that, he turned and left.

Tyrion looked at his uncle's distant back and whispered to himself:

"Nope. He won't. My father would rather have a son who kills a king, has a severed hand, has incest, and even has sworn not to be knighted, than to look at me more......"
