A few days later, rumors swirled in King's Landing, all about the Prime Minister and the Tyrells.

Rumor has it that the Tyrells have been loyal to the royal power of House Baratheon, but they do not recognize the Prime Minister because the Prime Minister has made a bad start to conquering Dorne, he has made the commoners of Dorne the master of the house, and ruthlessly wiped out the aristocracy.

It was also rumored that Lady Olenna Redwin had prepared 2,000 carts of grain, 500 carts of weapons and armor, and 100,000 gold dragons, ready to arrive at King's Landing, but the food in the Riverlands was delayed because the Prime Minister Lord Will had unwarrantedly detained Lord Mace Tyrell and restricted his freedom.

There are even rumors that the courtiers want Her Majesty Shireen to remove Will from the position of Prime Minister, so that Will can have the time and energy to go to the desperate Great Wall to defend against the strange spirits.

A few days later, rumours spread that Will had stepped down as Prime Minister in order to ease the tension with Mrs. Olenna Redwin in the Bend.

Someone even received the news that Olenna Redwin had received secret support from Oldtown School and possessed a terrifying crossbow bolt to deal with Will's two griffons. At the same time, the Old Town Navy, the Qingting Island Navy, and the Shield Islands Navy have been assembled, which are the most powerful navies of the Seven Kingdoms, and they can deal with the threat of Will's army at any time, and even come to the port of the Blackwater River at any time.

The nobles of the Stormlands swore that the Tyrells had amassed a large army at Bitterbridge, and that Randolph Tully's heir, Deacon Tully, had gathered a strong army for his father's sake, and was preparing to attack King's Landing. The High Court of House Tyrells also issued a summoning order, ordering its vassals to prepare for a possible invasion by Lord Will.

The people of King's Landing and the nobles were worried, they did not want war, they only wanted to be able to get 2,000 carts of grain in the riverlands. The soldiers wanted the best armor, helmets and weapons, and the royal courtiers didn't want to get the 100,000 gold dragons that the Tyrells had provided for free.

The hearts of the common people, the hearts of the soldiers, the hearts of the courtiers, and the former courtiers of the Baratheon family in the stormlands all do not want the help of the Tyrells, and all that is required is for the Prime Minister to take a step back and offer to Lady Olenna Redwin, or Her Majesty Queen Shireen to order Lord Will to step down as Prime Minister.

There were even nobles who suggested to Her Majesty that they would first pretend to remove Lord Will from the position of Prime Minister, and then after the Tyrells' food, weapons, and golden dragons had arrived in King's Landing, they would restore Lord Will as Prime Minister for some necessary reason, so that they would not offend Lord Will and his soldiers, and they would also receive the Tyrells' property.

While this would make both Lord Will and the Tyrells look uncomfortable, the matter is over, the fact has been done, and both sides have to acquiesce.

The Queen of Thorns' letter battle undoubtedly had the absolute upper hand, allowing Mace Tyrell to pull back a game in front of Will.

No matter what the courtiers and the people discussed, there was one of the most critical figures in this matter who had to express their positions, and this figure was naturally Lord Will. But Will has been slow to take a stand. When Olenna Redwin's letter ignites the storm in King's Landing, Will, Jaime and Arya ride a griffon to his Dragonstone Island, where they do not return for several days.

Will was not in King's Landing, and every day, in the throne hall, the conversation about food, weapons, and a hundred thousand gold dragons in the Riverbend never stopped. Everyone expressed their opinions vaguely, and in the end they all agreed that if it was unlikely that Her Majesty would remove Will from the position of Prime Minister, then Lord Will should take the initiative to make overtures to Lady Olenna and negotiate.

Most of the courtiers believed that it was Will's seizure of Lord Mace that caused Lady Olenna's displeasure. Since Will did everything for the sake of the country and the royal authority, and Lady Olenna was loyal to the royal authority, then the two sides should have a good talk so that the food, weapons, and money could be brought to King's Landing as soon as possible.

In dealing with the incident in Riverlands, everyone thought that Lord Will had made at least three mistakes: first, he should have dismissed Lord Mace from his position as state adviser if he should not have returned, second, he should not have restricted Lord Mace's freedom at all, and third, he should not have gone to Dragonstone and not come back in time, leaving the matter very passive.

It has to be said that Mace Tyrelll's brain and courage are very average, but his mother, Lady Olenna, is really not a good stubble. A single letter caused the people of King's Landing and the nobles to become dissatisfied with Will, and caused a resonance of disgust with Lord Will among the courtiers in the throne hall, and also exerted strong pressure on Her Majesty Queen Shireen.

Second, Lady Olenna is also ready for battle, and if Lord Will does not cope well, war breaks out, and all food, weapons, and coins are gone.

The royal family's use of force against a loyal vassal would be even more unpopular, for example, the nobles of the neighbors of Riverlands, Stormlands, have made it clear that they will not support Lord Will's use of force against Lady Olenna. The nobles of the royal realm also made it clear that they were opposed to Lord Will's use of force against Lady Olenna. The aristocracy was in favor of a negotiated solution. This big trouble was caused by Lord Will's return, and Lord Will should go and apologize to Mrs. Olenna, obtain her understanding, and then shake hands and make peace.

Many courtiers in the throne hall suggested that Lord Mace's status as state adviser should be restored first, but Lord Will was on Dragonstone Island, and Her Majesty said that this matter needed to be discussed with Lord Will first, he was the regent, and he was also the prime minister of the Seven Kingdoms, and he guarded the whole territory, so there was no reason to restore Lord Mace's official position as state adviser without consulting Lord Will.

A few days later, the patrol battleship Robert Hammer in Blackwater Bay spotted dozens of strange warships sailing into the waters off the Blackwater River, and headed straight for Blackwater Bay. This alarmed the royal fleet, and while the patrol ships sent men to King's Landing to report the situation to the Sea Secretary Davos Seaworth, they sent messengers to intercept them and ask who they were.

Before the messenger ship could approach the opposing warship, the sky heard the cry of griffons, and in the sound of a clanging sound, two griffons came from the sky, and the griffons glided, flying lower and lower, and finally flew close to the surface of the sea. There are two people on the back of the griffin, one is the Prime Minister, Lord Will, and the other is Arya.

On the bridge of a flagship, Jaime Lannister stands with a giant who looks like a half-grown child.

"Go back, this is my warship and soldiers, order the royal fleet to give way, and prepare the supply of food and grass for six thousand soldiers, and prepare forage for six thousand horses. Will commanded the messengers on the griffon's back.

The messenger was astonished and did not dare to slack off, so he turned around and rowed back.

Tyron Ash and Wood Shield had a total of 4,000 elite cavalry and 2,000 spare horses, so they needed to prepare fodder for 6,000 horses.

Chapter 0985-2

When a dozen or so high-level warships sailed into the port of the Blackwater River, almost all the people of King's Landing were watching from the dock.

Standing on the flagship, Taryn Ash is like a giant god, and the viewer is terrified. The huge Valyrian sword king on his back weighed two hundred catties, and the huge hilt of the sword protruded from his left shoulder, and no one had ever seen such a wide hilt. The Magic Mountain was already a giant in the hearts of the people of the Seven Kingdoms, but compared to the big men on the ship, it looked very ordinary.

The warriors on Tyran's flagship ship were all ash warriors, all of them dark-skinned, tall and mighty, and each of them looked like a murderous god, revealing a fierce aura all over their bodies.

The Sea Lord, Davos Seaworth, with the Royal Fleet, brought food and grass to Will's army. The grain and grass of the 6,000 soldiers was removed at once, and half of the supplies in the King's Landing barracks were removed. After the battleship was resupplied in the port of the Heishui River, it did not stop, and docked at the south bank of the Heishui River together, and then, the gangplank boarded the river, and the boats were also lowered from the battleship, and the soldiers of the boats and the soldiers of the teams went ashore one after another.

Will and Arya also flew to the other side on the griffin, and gave a loud order for the army to assemble at He'an.

On the other side of the river, the people of King's Landing, the knights, the generals, the centurions, and the soldiers of the garrison watched in amazement.

The Prime Minister's army did not stop at the port of Blackwater Bay, nor did it enter the city, but docked directly at the opposite shore. The centurions' military whistles were heard blowing sharply, and the generals were all giving orders one after another, gathering their soldiers in a phalanx.

Soon, one by one, the arrays were lined up neatly, and a command was heard from Will, and a pair of horsemen were in front of them, with the sound of hooves, and drove down the King's Road towards the Royal Forest.

"What is this doing, Prime Minister?" asked the nobleman, puzzled.

"There's a war, there's a war, there's a war, your Excellency. A general muttered.

"Lady Olenna didn't say that there was going to be a war, and the Prime Minister went to attack the Riverlands so quietly?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, in my estimation, the Prime Minister will not bother to respond to Lady Olenna's letter. Madame didn't listen to his order to deliver the grain to King's Landing, so he went straight to fight. ”

"Even if there is a war, it will be a one-month deadline, and this is set by the Prime Minister himself!" said a lady.

"Lady Olena's original intention was not to go to war with the Prime Minister, otherwise she would not have packed up food and weapons, and she had prepared 100,000 gold dragons, she just wanted to save a little dignity and face of the Tyrells. ”

"The Prime Minister is too impulsive, Lady Olenna is not Martell of Dorne, she is a very cautious person who prepares to perfection. Lord Will has taken Dorne, but it is difficult to take Riverlands. ”

............

For a time, on the other side of the river, there was talk of everything. Everyone has a question: The Prime Minister is going to war? Shouldn't you at least write back in response? Many people whispered, believing that Lady Olenna was not disloyal to the royal power, and that she did not necessarily want to force Will to step down as Prime Minister, but that she was just trying to force Lord Will to give the Tyrells some face and steps.

Zheng!

A deafening griffin chirped as Will rode the flaming griffin across the Blackwater River, lowering its altitude and hovering above his courtiers.

"General Bran Stark. ”

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister. Bran looked up on a gray horse in response.

"I am the Prime Minister and Regent of the Seven Kingdoms. In the name of the Guardian of the Realm, I command you to arrest Mistress Tyrell and Mistress Randolph Tully and put them in the underground black dungeon of the Red Keep, and then come back to judge them when I take down the Riverbend. ”

"Yes, Prime Minister. ”

Bran Stark immediately turned around and ran back into the city, followed by two queues of the Black Armor.

Wow!

The courtiers on the banks of the river suddenly exploded, and everyone looked up and shouted to the sky, hoping that Lord Will would not attack the Riverlands, and that Master Mace Tyrelll and Lord Randolph Tully would not be imprisoned.

Will shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, listen to me, the civil and military generals perform their duties, do their own work, and when I come back from the river, I do not want to hear the words of disunity, nor do I want to find out who has slacked in his work." “

Those in charge of trade should do a good job in trade, those in charge of patrolling should do a good job in public security, those in charge of government affairs should handle the people's petitions well, and those in charge of legal affairs should do a good job in adjudication, and do not spend their time on some meaningless gossip. Anyone who wants to disobey orders or blackmail the implementation of the decree by any means, I will destroy him! Congratulations to the Tyrells of Riverlands, who have chosen a path of destruction. Of course, before I destroy the High Court, I will give them one last chance to understand the decree. I will leave this opportunity to Lady Olena in person, a vassal whom I respect very much. ”

The Blackwater River flowed in a tumultuous manner, and the knights, generals, centurions, and warriors on the banks of the river were silent.

Will, who rides on the back of a griffin, is an inviolable god!

Zheng!

A griffon's cry, its flaming wings flapping, and the wind ruffled the hair and hem of the courtiers below, and the griffin rose high and flew across the Blackwater River toward the southern sky. On the other side of the Blackwater, cavalry and infantry were marching in groups up the King's Road towards the bend.

The ministers were shocked, and everyone looked at each other.

The majesty of the prime minister and the vigor and resoluteness of his actions are terrifying and secretly terrifying.

Although many generals did not speak, they did not think that the Prime Minister could win, and how could 6,000 troops, against 100,000 troops in the Riverbend, win?

The professional army of the nobles in the Riverbend is only tens of thousands, but Lord Will is so aggressive and takes the initiative to attack the territory of the Riverbend, the nobles of the Riverbend are doing their best, and the militia recruits and professional troops are more than enough to gather an army of 100,000.

Six thousand against one hundred thousand, how to fight?

If the Prime Minister is defeated, the prestige he has accumulated in the Seven Kingdoms will collapse with a bang, and his exploits in Dorne will be completely eclipsed.

After dark, in the Red Keep of King's Landing, someone quietly opened a gambling stall, betting on Will's victory, one to ten, and one to one for Lady Olenna. Almost all the courtiers and generals, as well as the soldiers of the garrison, were involved in this gamble, and no one cared who was sitting in the bank.

Taryn Ash and Jaime march on the ground, with Jaime riding three horses and moving forward, while Taryn runs on foot and rides a mammoth for a distance. The mammoth has amazing endurance and runs long distances, not losing to three war horses. Arya and Will fly in the sky, and the four of them are the arrows of the entire team.

In the first battle of the Bitter Bridge in the Riverbend, Taryn Ash will shock the Riverbend, mention his name, and for the next hundred years, he will treat the children of the Riverbend to cry at night.
