Chapter 0686: The Great Wall is ready to sweep through the Seven Kingdoms
The nobles of Fairy Island are all very clear-hearted, and they all have strange expressions.
Enjoying an archipelago as a territory?
And what about the remaining four archipelagos?
If this Iron Islands is not the territory of Fairy Island, then how can it be rewarded to the vassals under Fairy Island? The nobles who have obtained the fief of a certain island of the Iron Islands are still vassals of the Faman family. What does this mean?
The Prime Minister must have promised to hand over the Iron Islands to the Faman family on Fairy Island.
But Jenny Farman is actually the last of the Farman family, and after her, his son is actually from the Cliveton family.
It is inferred that Fairy Island and the Iron Islands will actually be the territory of the Cliveton family in the future.
In this way, the Cliveton family went from a second-rate nobleman to a first-class feudal lord.
For such a leap in promotion, any family will be tempted.
It's not hard to figure out why the Cliftons are so loyal to the Prime Minister.
The territory and sea area of Fairy Island combined, under the leadership of Jenny Faman, in one day, the territory expanded dozens of times at once, especially the jurisdiction of the sea area made the nobles blush.
With such a dividend, the strength of the well-performing family will also increase by leaps and bounds. Whoever gets the first fiefdom of the Iron Islands will become the first family after the Clifton family.
The nobles were suddenly full of fighting spirit!
They finally waited for their opportunity to expand. As long as there was a vast fiefdom, it was worth buying slaves from across the Narrow Sea and giving them freedom through merchants, as long as they swore allegiance to themselves and stayed in the Iron Islands to cultivate their fields or fish or help with trade.
For a time, there was no nobleman in the small castle on the north side of the island who remembered his favor. The reality is harsh, but that's the reality.
Three days later, Fairy Island gathered fifty warships and two thousand five hundred warriors and set out at night to raid the coastal villages and towns in the west.
Brinnden Twarf led twenty dead men with the fleet to participate in the first battle, and then returned to the Crag City of the Westerling family by the sea, and tried to organize the local miners, farmers, hunters, fishermen, and others to cooperate with the Farman family's naval raid.
Will and Melisandre flew across the sea on griffins, taking with them Janine Farman's heir, Kit Cliveton. Kit Cliveton is thirteen years old this year, a decent teenager, with few words, but he is kind and simple in his heart, and he has a certain foundation in swordsmanship, but he has not yet been on the real battlefield.
He became Will's new bodyguard, taking care of Will's daily chores. This work was previously the responsibility of Podrick, which was an opportunity but also a threat. If Jenny Farman and the Cliveton family don't have a different heart, then it will be a good opportunity for Kitt to learn a lot by the side of the Prime Minister, and there will be a chance to build a good high-level relationship for himself. If the family had a different heart, then he became the first hostage to be held hostage with a sacrificial sword.
As for the Farman family, Will was not at all worried that she would be disloyal, as Melisandre guaranteed it. Melisandre's fire magic was effective, and as she followed Will's side, it grew stronger. Melisandre's belief in the Red God easily conquered Janine Farman's heart.
The power of faith is very religious and terrifying.
Flying in the night sky, the griffon's vision is as if it were in the daytime. Far away, Blaze and Aquamarine spotted a raven flying in the northern sky, and without the permission of their master, they flew straight into the northern sky and flew over their destination, Crag Rock City.
Ravens come from the Great Wall in the north.
The ravens targeted by the griffins can't escape the griffin's claws, no matter how powerful they are.
In addition to the fact that griffons can't speak, their IQ is not much different from that of the human race. Except for revenge and killing, they don't have any shortcomings of the Terran betrayal conspiracy.
When the raven reached Will's hand, he untied the parchment, and Will threw the raven away, and the raven fell in a straight line, and only when it was close to the sea did it flap its wings and fly. Under the pressure of the two griffins, the ravens did not even have the courage to fly. Although Blaze and Azurite did not unleash malice on it.
Back in Crag Rock, Will reads the letter on the parchment scroll under the palm of Gavin Westerling's palm.
For the first time, a very relaxed smile appeared on his grim face, like a child.
Gavin Westerling cautiously asked, "Your Excellency, there is good news?"
Gavin had a hard time believing that there would be good news for the Wall, which was the first place for ghouls and strangers to attack.
"Very good news, Seven Kingdoms, we are invincible. Will said lightly. He rolled a densely written parchment on a candle and lit it, and watched as the parchment rolled up in the flames and slowly dissolved to ashes.
Melisandre was gone, she went to her prayers.
People of faith always seem to be chattering!
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister. Gavin Westerling felt his heart pounding.
He was too curious.
Lord Will wouldn't be foolish, and Gavin was impressed by the fact that he had led Robb Stark across the Golden Tooth City to defeat the West's army in one fell swoop. In just a few days, he had already taken the Faman family on Fairy Island with a force of twenty men, and now, it seemed that his plan had achieved absolute success, and taking the Seven Kingdoms was like a bag.
"You want to know what I've done at the Wall?" Will smiled, "The best wine, the best chef, the best food, go ahead, I won't sleep tonight." ”
"Yes, Prime Minister!" said Gavin Westerling respectfully.
Mistress Will didn't tell him to call Priest Merry, nor did he call the young guard Kit Claston, so the only one who would accompany the Prime Minister tonight was Gavin Westerling.
This almost unusual opportunity made him feel ecstatic.
Gavin Westerling's sense of superiority that is usually tense with noble blood is actually vulnerable, it is all self-deception of the outside powerhouse, and he is also bent on reviving the former glory of the family, and Lord Will, now the Prime Minister, the Regent, and the guardian of the whole realm, is the noble person he desperately needs to befriend.
The western realm is so big, and there are many nobles with gold mines, as long as Lord Will nods and issues a prime minister's order, stripping one of them of the title of earl and giving the territory to the Westerling family, then he can use the power of the Prime Minister, such as the legion in the Golden Tooth City, to justifiably crusade against the nobles, drive them out of the territory or exterminate the clan, it is just a gesture.
Soon, hot bacon soup was served, followed by fresh toast, honey, cider from Riverland and wine from Qingting Island, wheat beer, and a variety of fancy barbecues and fruits.
Gavin Westerling waved everyone back down and respectfully poured wine for Will: "Prime Minister, please!"
Will picked up the silver glass and touched it with Gavin, who made a crisp clink, and drank it down.
"Prime Minister, could you please let me follow you as a copying deputy, and do some chores for you before and after the saddle. Gavin Westerling laughed. He poured another fine wine for Will.
"Count Gavin, you want to be a royal courtier?"
"Yes, if the Prime Minister is willing to give me a chance, the ancient House of Westerling has always valued honor above life. ”
"Okay, you'll be in charge of the raven letters for me for the time being. ”
"Yes, sir!" said Gavin. The management of the Prime Minister's Raven Letters, which is the highest channel for the secrets of the Kingdom, shows his importance and is the honor and trust that the Prime Minister has given him.
Then, the Prime Minister said that the Great Wall has been prepared for the major event that is enough to sweep the Seven Kingdoms, he will also be the first to know.
