(2-in-1 update.) Watching the World Cup last night, I was too excited and couldn't break it, and I watched TV until dawn. Broken to get up at 12 o'clock today, update late, that's the truth. ）

A map was placed on the table.

It shows all the noble realms in the West, the location of the castle, the number of troops, the name of the patriarch, the personality and hobbies.

The hound's eyes fell on his family's domain, and the Buck family took his place, and the name of the Clegane family has been erased.

Buck was the captain of the guard of Gregor Clegane in the Magic Mountain, and after Gregor Clegane's death, Buck rose to his feet and became a loyal man admired by Kavon Lannister.

This is a very sinister and cruel guy, Gregor is notorious, and a lot of things are actually done by Buck. Also, Buck thinks that Gregor is inferior to him, and that Gregor has no strengths other than being brave and murderous.

Stratagem drill camp is also what Buck is good at!

Buck now leads Gregor Crega's old ministry and takes control of the Vale Bloodgate. He has several powerful men under his command: a notepad, a mace, six fingers, and a steel spike.

But none of these people are in the West, because Buck is not in the West.

Judging from the map, the territory of the Clegane family is southeast of Lannisport, and it is not very far from the Golden Tooth City to get their own territory back, much closer than Lannisport Harbor.

Podrick Pine's eyes are fixed on the territory of the Pine family, which is rich, and Pine, like the hounds, wants to take back his family's territory. The Pine family has produced a famous big man - the former magistrate Irin Pine. His ruthlessness was unmatched, and in the chaos of King's Landing, he was burned to death by Melisandre in the fire sacrifice.

Sir Leo and Ser Gavin Westerling of Golden Tooth City watched Priest Merry wait for her to speak.

This is the time to test the military talents of Priest Merry.

Blackfish Brynden Tully was silent for a word. He was experienced, had outstanding military talent, and already had a plan in his heart, but he didn't say it. Shouldn't the priests stay in the church, and why should they be involved in military and political affairs? The main duties of the military priests are to pray and to heal.

Melisandre's gaze fell from her black hood to the fairy island on the map.

Fairy Island is located in the Northwest Sea of the West, in the sea west of the Garvin Westerling family castle.

The location of Fairy Island is also far away, and it is not easy to attack, which has to go through the large and small noble territories in the west, and from the map, it is impossible to attack Fairy Island directly.

Melisandre's slender fingers reached out and pointed at the fairy island.

All the generals, including Brindon Tully, suspected that they had read it wrong.

"Let's take Fairy Island first, and then order Fairy Island to attack the coastal rebels from the west, and our Golden Tooth City will attack from the east, and we can be flanked on both sides. Taking the Fairy Island, which is the safest and farthest away from us, is also a major blow to the thieves in the West. ”

The generals looked at each other when they listened!

That's the truth, but are we flying through the sky?

Brindon Tully said lightly: "Priest Merry, don't talk about the enemies on the ground, even if we break through the layers of blockades and reach the seaside, but we don't have a boat, can we fly through the sky?"

Flying through the sky?

Everyone suddenly had a sense of urgency, and they all thought of the new Hand of the King, Lord Will.

Mullen Lannister's harbor has a ship, although the capital ship was transferred by Will and Robb and never returned, and his capital was used by Will and Robb to build a new naval base on the Frozen Coast, which is not far north of the Mormont family. - But in the port of Muren, there are also small warships and warships that can be temporarily armed, and there is no problem in crossing the sea with troops. The only problem is distance.

It is a long way from the Golden Tooth City to Lannisport, and from Lannisport to Fairy Island.

The current western realm is a group of dragons without a leader, so it is a plate of scattered sand, and it is the best time to break through each one. If Kevon Lannister returns, or if someone he appoints returns, the situation will change in the West, when the nobles have the backbone and the conquest will be difficult.

In a world where there are few people and few soldiers, quick combat is the only correct way to conquer the western frontier.

The hound said, "Why can't we fly through the sky? The Prime Minister's griffin has only been flying over a thousand miles in a day, and from Golden Tooth City to Fairy Island, it is only half a day. ”

Podrick said: "The Prime Minister and Lord Robb led the army to attack the Blood Gate, and the army had to walk on the road for at least half a month, so why didn't he stay and attack the Western Frontier with us? Half a month later, he rode a griffon to the Blood Gate in one day, and it did not affect him to attack the Blood Gate. ”

"Can a griffon cross the sea with an army?" Brinden Tully sneered.

"No, but with a short flight, Blaze and Azurite can take four warriors at a time. The hound said coldly.

"Fairy Island is not far from our castle, less than a hundred miles by sea. Gavin Westerling said.

"And how long does it take to get from Golden Tooth City to your castle?" Brynden Tully tully tucked his finger across the map.

"We can form a death squad, thirty people, and we can take Fairy Island. The hound said angrily.

"Thirty people?" said Muren Lannister, who had been silent. Will and Robb transferred his naval fleet with only a few dozen men. Some of them set fire to the city's famous buildings, and some of them disguised themselves as Jaime Lannister came to him, and after a bloody attack, Will transferred his naval fleet without any problems. His naval fleet was also the navy of the entire West, and was a powerful force for protecting trade in the Westside and other cities, including across the Narrow Sea.

"I think if we think about it, we can raid and take Fairy Island. Mullen said.

There is no leader in the West, and if he can become the Lord of the West, it seems to be very good. Let's look at the development of the situation in this way. House Tywin is Lannister, and House Mullen is also Lannister.

"Why do you say that?" said Brynden Tully's face, turning ugly.

However, Mullen saw that Priest Merry's position of power and intimacy with the Prime Minister were above Brynden Tully, and he decided to side with Priest Merry.

Because of the geographical relationship between the western border and the riverland, it is not harmonious enough.

"From Golden Tooth City to Crag Rock City, a rapid march, a cavalry raid, three days. Crossing the sea for a surprise attack, two days. For five days, no one could have imagined that we would go to Fairy Island, which was defenseless. As long as the raiders disguise themselves as the Lannister garrison of Kaiyan City, they can easily deceive the Farman family on Fairy Island, and after entering the fairy castle, it only takes two wrestlers to take Count Sebaston Farman. ”

After hearing this, no one expressed their position, but everyone's expressions said everything: this plan is feasible.

Melisandre looked at Brynden Tully, whose face was stiff: "General, the military operation is dominated by you, what do you think should be done?"

"Agreed!" Brynden Tully threw out hard words.

Although he was extremely disgusted with Melisandre, it was a good operation, covering up and taking her by surprise. Now the situation in the West is tense, and no nobles are willing to take the lead against Will and Robb, who were defeated in the last West, and Will and Robb are too famous. Under the leaderless group of dragons, everyone is actively preparing for their own territory, and there is no time to take care of anything else. The nobles of the Western Realm, which is closest to the Golden Tooth City, are all in danger. This situation also shows that Kaifeng's influence in the West is not enough, not to mention that he himself has left the West and gone to the South.

No nobleman wants to be exterminated or become one of the ghouls by Will's power, but it's hard to get down on your knees. Nobility, honor, and attachment to the old lord are all reasons. The fate of the family after kneeling down is unknown, and these make the nobles of the Western Realm worried.

The whole situation, because of the submission of Mullen Lannister, the foundations of the entire Westside have been shaken. This is also the fundamental reason why Will dared to leave with two thousand of his own people. There is still a powerful tiger skin on the outside of the west, but it is already vulnerable on the inside. Letting Priest Merry take the Westside is to give her the prestige of shaping.

The flame magic of the Red God Priest will be indispensable in future wars against the Aliens.

The red god is fire, and the strange ghost is ice.

Will did so deliberately. And he himself, because of the comings and goings of griffins, is actually pretending to leave. He had to look at Melisandre, the Red God priestess always had some inhuman ideas, but her skills were also so stark and prominent.

Brynden Tully agreed to raid Fairy Island, and the faces of the generals were visibly relieved, especially the ones who had submitted to the West. In this way, their soldiers would not have to go to war with the soldiers of the West, they were all acquaintances of each other, and emotionally, they hoped that the civil war would be delayed as long as possible.

They didn't want to go to war with the neighbors of their family castle! they wanted to delay the war if they had to. This psychology is subtle.

Melisandre said: "I don't understand the specific military actions and details, and now we will ask Lord Brynden Tully to be in charge of the meeting, and I will observe." ”

Blackfish Brynden's face suddenly became wonderful.

The general direction and strategic layout, Priest Merry does not seem to be worse than him. Her unmeritorious statement embarrassed the upright Brinden. Everyone pretended to cough or talk about him, but the hound said coldly: "Lord Brynden, put away your self-esteem and hypocritical sense of honor, and let's get started." I wish to participate in this raid. ”

"I also implore my lords to consider me, my swordsmanship is best suited for stabbing in the dark. Podrick said, looking shy.

"You two are the attendants of Priest Merry, and you cannot leave Priest Merry. Brindon Tully said flatly. Priestess Merry is the commander-in-chief, and she cannot afford to lose. No matter how good the hand around her is, she can't be transferred. Who knows what these Western bastards sitting at the conference table have secretly planned? The only restraint is that the patriarch or heir of these guys has been taken away by Will and Robb.

The Hound and Podrick immediately looked at Melisandre with warlike eyes.

Melisandre said softly, "Lord Brindon Tully, I will be involved in this raid. ”

"No, it's too risky!" Brindon Tully snapped.

"I'm not as good as you in military talent, so I should leave you to sit in Golden Tooth City and take charge of the overall situation, if something happens to me, there is still you in the west who can lead troops to fight, you are the younger brother of the Duke of Tuli in the Riverland, in case you need the support of the Riverland, you can solve the problem with a raven, I can't." Melisandre's words were sharp, and she was definitely not vexatious.

"You are the commander-in-chief of the Western Realm, the priest of Lord Will, and there is no room for error. ”

"I have the protection of the Red God. Melisandre said lightly, "I'll be fine, but adults should be careful, the nobles of the West, after all, used to be loyal to the Lannisters." We'll only be safe until Directory Lannister officially becomes Duke of the West. ”

Mullen's only bloodline, Rosamon Lannister, Will decides to marry her to House Stark in the North. The three boys of the Stark family, Robb married Jenny Lannister, Bran married His Majesty Shireen, and Rickon Stark married Rosamon Lannister, once the marriage was successful, Joffrey's political role disappeared completely, and it was also the time of Joffrey's death.

As long as the western border is taken, the valley is not a cause for concern.

Jaime and Cersei, who were hiding in the Eagle's Nest, would not be able to stay in the Eagle's Nest for long even if they didn't attack him. After a long time, the truth will leak out, and some of the Vale nobles will rise up against them.

The Lannisters, who have lost the West, whether it is Jaime in Eagle's Nest or Kevon in Storm's End in the South, have shaky foundations.

Brindon Tully said, "Since I am in charge of this raid, Priest Merry must obey my orders. ”

That's a lot of weight.

In the army, command is above all else.

The people at the top don't listen to orders, how can they order the three armies?

"Alright, I'll obey!" Priest Merry didn't take a higher position to suppress Brindon Tully, "Lord Gavin, can your Rock City prepare ships for our raid on the dead?"

"There's no problem with that. Gavin Westerling said.

"Lord Priest, Podrick has stayed behind to protect you, and please allow me to go to war. The hound said irritably.

"No! we have to obey orders!" said Melisandre.

Her obedience once again surprised Brindon Tully. He felt that his opinion of Priest Merry might be biased.

The next arrangement went very smoothly, according to the situation on Fairy Island, a raid team of twenty people was finally formed, and they will be disguised in Crag Rock City to change into the Lannister family defenders of Kaiyan City, Mullen knew the details of the clothing of the Lannister family garrison, and everything immediately started.

Five knights with high martial arts were selected from among the nobles of the Western Realm, and the remaining fifteen were selected by Brindon Tully from 2,000 of his own men, and he personally led the raid on Fairy Island overnight. As long as you sneak into Fairy City and enter the main castle of Faman in the name of Jinjian, you will be done to take down the unsuspecting Faman patriarch. He was accompanied by Sir Gavin Westerling, who was tasked with finding fishing boats to cross the sea in his Rock Castle and organising the crew. His home fort, Rock Castle, is on the edge of the sea.

Priest Merry, Hound Dog, and Podrick are in charge of staying in the Golden Tooth City, taking charge of the whole situation, and waiting for the good news from Brindon Tully.

As long as the gods take Fairy Island unknowingly this time, and quickly turn the impossible into a possibility, the nobles in the western realm who still hold illusions will chill everyone's hearts, and the fragile psychological defense line will crack.
