(Guaranteed chapter + 2400 words)
*
The long sword pierced through Aegon's throat, the tip of the sword streaked with blood.
University Slomis trembled slightly with fright!
He thought Cersei wouldn't dare kill someone.
Aegon died instantly, his eyes glaring, and he died of exhaustion.
Cersei was also taken aback.
Baron Swain didn't ask her before he killed her. But in front of outsiders, Cersei quickly regained her composure and acquiesced in Baron Swahn's behavior, and she said lightly: "Lord Vilas, Scholar Lomis, Aegon has been rude to me many times, and this is the end. ”
Velas's heart was cold, painful and afraid. Cersei dared to kill someone, which was terrifying.
Baron Swain's sword was drawn, and blood gushed from Aegon's neck, and he fell like an empty sack.
Da!
Aegon fell to the ground, prostrate on his face, his eyes wide and his neck twisted, right in front of Velas's face.
"Lord Vilas, can I ask you to give the order for your squire to bring me Kaivon's letter. ”
“...... Yes, Her Majesty the Queen Mother......" Villas found himself bitter.
Cersei can kill him, but he can't kill Cersei. The Tyrells just wanted to have a place in the royal family, not to rebel against the royal family.
The people of the river bend do not rebel against the rule of this dynasty!
If you don't rebel, you won't hurt Cersei's life. House arrest through marriage and rebellion and murder are two different things.
Soon, the order came out, and Vilas's personal maid brought a locked brocade box, on which the carved flowers and plants stood out, a relief-like work of art.
Vilas opened the brocade box and took out Kevon's letter, which Baron Swain took and handed to Queen Cersei.
Cersei took the letter and didn't read it, folded it and put it in her pocket, this is the evidence when she confronted Kaivon at the meeting of the Imperial Ministers in the future, the content of the letter, she already knew from the Magic Mountain, and verified it through the conversation just now.
"Lord Vilas, I am going to ask the University Shlomis, the head of the sect, Ser Vortimo, and the Grand Governor Garth to send us out of the Bend with you, will you obey my orders?"
"The minister respectfully obeys the orders of Her Majesty the Queen Mother. Veras put his right fist on his left chest and bowed his head.
Cersei was relieved, she could see that Vilas was not a repetitive villain, he was purer than the liars, politicians, liars, speculators, despicables, and conspirators of the court. Judging from the reaction so far, Magic Mountain's strategy has really worked. If you control Vilas, you control the whole situation.
"Sir Baron Swain, cut off Aegon's head and stick it in the tip of his spear, our team will leave for King's Landing tomorrow, and we need Aegon's head to clear the way to show the king's might. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen Mother!" Baron Sven placed his right fist on his left chest and bowed slightly.
When Aegon's lieutenant led his army to surround the tower of Her Majesty the Queen Mother, the lieutenant saw Aegon's head being stuck in the tip of a spear on the wall of the tower, and Velas appeared at the gate, and at the sound of an order, the lieutenant knights knelt down one after another, not daring to use force.
Villas waved the legion away.
Although the marriage failed and Cersei's plot to put her under house arrest failed, Vilas did not feel too much frustration, and deep down, he felt a sense of relief. The only regret is the tragic death of Captain Aegon. Aegon is not a bad person, he just likes to look at beautiful women with the eyes of the sound evil, and when he looks at the Queen Mother Cersei, he is a little unscrupulous.
The Queen Mother's Imperial Guard, Balon, was loyal and upright, jealous and hateful, and killed Aegon at every opportunity.
The next day, Vilas, Gars, Lomis, and Vortimo took five hundred elite family guards to protect the convoy of Queen Cersei, and the group left the High Court and headed for the Bitter Bridge.
Baron Swain and Osmond Kate Black were heavily armed and armed with 500 red-robed troops, escorting Queen Cersei's carriage left and right, and the procession made its way north to King's Landing.
Prime Minister Kayvon's elaborate 'marriage plan to trap Cersei and not go back to the defeated country' has completely failed!
Vilas has the kindness of a woman, and Kevon is also a person who is not decisive in killing, and the ruthlessness and ferocity of the traitor have not yet reached the highest level, if he simply kills Cersei neatly, there will be no trouble for Cersei to return to King's Landing to disrupt the court.
Kevon took Cersei for one purpose: to keep Tomen's dynasty from being destroyed by Cersei's stupidity, short-sightedness, and willfulness.
It's just that Kaivon made the same mistake as Tywin: he messed with the Magic Mountain!
*
Westside. The village of Klegane.
The crematorium has a total of seven floors.
The top layer is tiny, small enough to fit a person's body. - The corpse of Count Odd Lannister is placed on the highest floor.
Seven tiers of stepped crematoriums, with firewood on the bottom floor doused with fire oil to support combustion.
The seven-tiered crematorium, which was specially built for Count Odd Lannister.
The seventh floor is the most solemn crematorium, symbolizing the belief in the seven gods.
The Magic Mountain led all the nobles of the West to stand in front of the crematorium, and Lady Jenny personally went up to the crematorium on the highest floor and covered the eyes of Count Ode with two copper coins. This was the fare for Count Odeh to cross the river of Hades to the other world.
Seven monks, dressed in white robes, sang praises to Count Ode Lannister.
Seven white-robed nuns chimed in.
The seven silent sisters bowed their heads and remained silent, with white turbans wrapped around their heads.
Finally, the nobles also joined in the chorus of prayers.
Behind the nobles was a group of 40,000 people.
The Iron Islands and pirates who surrendered were about 10,000 people.
This group of 10,000 people is led by the Warhammer Horn Gubler family on the officially surrendered island of Great Wick. The corps that officially surrendered was about 5,000 men, all of whom were iron on the island of Great Wick. Later, more than 4,000 people were captured by the iron seed who fled from all sides, and there were iron seeds on each island as prisoners, and these captives chose to surrender between death and submission, so the magic mountain got the first 10,000 troops to surrender.
The Magic Mountain handed over all this army to the leader of Count Gubler, and in his capacity as Minister of War of the Seven Kingdoms, elected Count Gubl as the new governor of the Iron Islands.
It's just that the appointment of the governor needs a royal order to confirm.
The second 10,000-person regiment is a 10,000-person regiment dominated by warriors from the Mingyue Mountains and the Crab Claw Peninsula, with mixed cavalry and strong combat effectiveness. Among them, the new infantry in the Bright Moon Mountain Range and the Crab Claw Peninsula still lacked a certain amount of formation training.
The third 10,000-strong regiment is the infantry and cavalry legion of the Magic Mountain. These people were all made up of Westerners, including two thousand soldiers of the Westerling family of Crag Rock.
The fourth 10,000-strong regiment is the coalition army of the entire western border. It was a legion of less than 10,000 men, most of which were improvised militia regiments.
Forty thousand people lined up in black on the plain outside the village of Kregon Village. In front of the procession, many crematoriums were erected, among which, except for the crematorium of Count Ode, which had seven floors, the rest of the crematoriums were two-tiered.
The crematoriums on both floors are large, and the soldiers, knights, and knights who died in battle are lined up one by one.
In addition, the iron soldiers and pirate soldiers who died in battle were also carried to the crematorium, and the corpses of these enemies were only one crematorium, and they were thrown on the crematorium in piles, and the wood of the cremation was soaked in fire-oil.
The Demon Mountain ordered the cremation of the enemy's corpses, firstly, to gain a certain good reputation, and more importantly, because he was afraid that the corpses would decompose and cause plague or contagious diseases.
In this world, medical technology is backward, medicine is even more scarce, once the corpse decomposes and causes the breeding of germs, it may lead to a plague-like disease catastrophe.
Whether it is the corpse of an enemy or the corpse of one's own, cremation is the wisest thing to do. Burning corpses to ashes makes the living safer.
The Magic Mountain held a solemn memorial service for Odd Lannister, and Jenny herself prayed for Count Eddard. After Madame Jane stepped off the crematorium, the Magic Mountain lit the first torches, and then the torches in the hands of the nobles were lit.
Magic Mountain was the first to throw the torch into the ignition port.
The flames of the ignition burst into flames, and hundreds of torches were thrown into the crematorium in front of them, and hundreds of crematoriums burned together, and the flames soon burned into a fire that lit up the sky.
After a while, thick smoke billowed and gradually almost obscured the blue sky.
Woo-la-la!
A black raven flew low in the sky and landed on the shoulder of the university scholar Bancrof, a raven from King's Landing, who had sent a message to Lannis.
University Scholar Bancrof was Rosamon's teacher, Count Oder's advisor, and acting lord of Lannis. The university scholar is proficient in raising ravens, and the ravens of Lannisport and the King's Landing ravens of Flying Lannisport are all close to the university scholar Bancrof.
All eyes were on the raven.
Bancrov took the parchment roll from the small iron cylinder on the raven's lap and unfolded it, silent. He handed the raven letter to the Magic Mountain.
Magic Mountain took it and handed it to Lady Jenny.
Lady Jenny saw it, rolled it up, and threw the raven letter into the fire. The parchment roll curled up in an instant, turning into black paper ash rolls.
The fire was blazing, crackling and burning.
At the same time, in the easternmost city of the Golden Tooth in the west, a raven flew and landed at the window of the Bachelor's Tower, and the apprentice grabbed a handful of corn kernels and put them on the table, and the raven flew up to the table and pecked at the corn with a coo.
The apprentice reached out and grabbed the raven's leg, unscrewed the plug of the small cylinder, and pulled out a parchment roll from it.
The parchment scroll was not sealed with wax, and when it was unfolded, it was a letter from King's Landing - Count Leo of Golden Tooth City and all his vassals knew that I would announce in the name of the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms, the Guardian of the Whole Territory, and the Regent that with immediate effect, I would remove the official position of the Minister of Military Affairs of the Demon Mountain, and the official position of the Guardian of the Western Border of the Demon Mountain. - Kevon Lannister, Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms. The name is followed by the seal of the hand of the king and the imperial seal of the king himself.
On this day, many ravens flew from King's Landing, and the scholars of the major families in the West received a letter with the same content. Magic Mountain himself also received a letter from Prime Minister Kai Feng, the content is the same, but the title has changed.
Kaivon Lannister launched his first offensive by removing the Magic Mountain's War Minister and then the Magic Mountain's Guardian of the West.
Officially, the Magic Mountain no longer has the right to convene any nobles in the West, and the nobles have the right to disobey him.
Charlotte in Silver Hall, Farman in Fairy Island, Swift House in Corn City, and Craich Family in Chicken Hall...... All received a letter with the same content.
Fortunately, because of the great funeral, the nobles of the Western Frontier were concentrated on the plain outside the village of Klegon.
After Moshan and Jenny read Kaivon's letter to Moshan, Moshan threw the parchment roll into the fire, and he shouted in a deep voice: "My lords, I have received a letter from Raven, Kaivon announced that he would deprive me of the post of Minister of War, and at the same time deprive me of the position of guardian of the western frontier. I will not follow Kaivon's orders unless I see orders from Her Majesty Queen Cersei. Everyone knows that Queen Mother Cersei is the guardian of the whole territory, the regent, and only her personal orders are really legally enforceable. I will write to Her Majesty the Queen Mother today, requesting that the Queen Mother Cersei remove me from my official posts as Guardian of the Western Frontier and Minister of War, and that I will not surrender these two positions until the Queen Mother's order has been issued. “
The generals of the Magic Mountain clamored together, and the shouts were deafening.
The ironseeds' oath of allegiance to the Magic Mountain was still radiating heat, and they joined in the chorus of protest and anger.
The Western Coalition was silent.
The nobles of the Western Realm looked at each other even more, and it was not for everyone to shout slogans, nor did they shout, which was quite embarrassing.
Lady Charlotte of Silver Hall, Lady Farman of Fairy Island, Earl of Priest of Feasting City, and Acting Lord of Bamvert of Scourge City...... These Western nobles have lost their hearts towards the Lannisters, and their respect for and pursuit of the Magic Mountain is getting stronger and stronger. Despite this, they did not join in the cries of rebellion against Prime Minister Kai Feng due to Prime Minister Kai Feng's orders.
Demon Mountain shouted: "My lords, before the order of the Queen Mother Cersei comes, I am still the guardian of the Western Frontier and the Minister of Military Affairs, and you still have to listen to my orders, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." ”
The generals of the Western Realm are even more silent!
Lady Jeanne said, "Ladies and Honours, Sirs and Knights of the West, we have sent a raven to Her Majesty Queen Cersei, requesting that after the cremation, lead the Clegane army into King's Landing to rid the king of the traitors, and this person is the Prime Minister Kevon Lannister. “
The Westfrontier Legion was silent, while the Cregan Legion and the Iron Legion cheered thunderously, all shouting for their way into King's Landing and capturing the traitorous thief Kavon Lannister, who had colluded with Raveneye and betrayed his country.
Demon Mountain shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, if Her Majesty the Queen Mother orders us to enter King's Landing City to kill thieves, I want the Western Territory Alliance Army to be the vanguard and go to attack King's Landing City." All my actions are subject to the will of Her Majesty the Queen Mother. I want you to understand that Her Majesty the Queen Mother is the guardian and regent of the whole realm, and Kaivon is not, he is just a government officer in King's Landing. ”
Woo-la-la!
With the roar of the Magic Mountain, a raven landed on Master Harry's shoulder.
Maester Harry took out the parchment letter, which was also unsealed, and handed it to the Magic Mountain.
With the breath of the nobles of the West, the Magic Mountain unfolded this small scroll of paper, the handsome and short words on it, from Cersei's hand: Gregor Clegane, I command you, in the name of the Lord Regent, to lead your army into King's Landing on the same day, and take Kaivon Lannister until I return to judge him before the Imperial Council. “
Magic Mountain held up the small parchment letter: "Ladies and Honours, Sirs, Knights, and all the soldiers, all the Guardian of the Territory, Her Majesty the Prince Regent and Queen Cersei has sent a letter, and she wants me to lead the army to King Qin and capture the traitor Kaivon Lannister." ”
Rumble!
The Iron Breed and the Klegane Army suddenly made an uproar!
The generals of the Western Realm all looked at each other: there were two regent and two guardians of the whole realm in the royal family, and they issued two completely different orders to the Magic Mountain.
"The Western Coalition is at your disposal, and I order you to be the vanguard and attack King's Landing. "The magic mountain roared, like a thunderbolt sounding in mid-air!
The generals of the Western Realm looked at each other.
Attack King's Landing?
Eradicating Kavon Lannister?
The Magic Mountain once attacked King's Landing at night, broke the city, captured Tywin alive, and pressed the army to trap the Red Keep, forcing the royal family to throw Tywin into the underground black prison.
Now the Demon Mountain is going to attack King's Landing again?
The generals of the Western Frontier are all psychologically unwell.
After all, they have been vassals under the Lannisters for hundreds of years.
Kayvon is a Lannister.
However, Cersei is also a Lannister.
The Magic Mountain is on Cersei's orders, and there is nothing wrong with it!
Demon Mountain looked at the generals of the Western Realm coldly, and his gaze swept over their faces one by one.
He decided to name the generals and generously gave them two choices: they were ordered to attack King's Landing, or they could die on the spot.
"Sir Evan Lyford. ”
The young city lord of Golden Tooth City, Ai Wen, had to stand in line, and the young man looked nervous.
"Will you do my bidding, attack King's Landing and eradicate the traitor Kevon Lannister?"
The young general looked at the generals of the Western Realm, and hesitated for a moment, not knowing what choice he would make if his father was here.
Count Leo of Golden Tooth is besieging Riverrun in the Riverlands. After three years of fighting, only a few hundred of the thousands of warriors in Golden Tooth City survived.
Aven's legion consisted mainly of mercenaries and militiamen, numbering about 600 people. Some of its vassals have hundreds, and some have dozens, all of whom are mainly militiamen, and there are very few professional soldiers.
"Disobedience to military orders is done by military law. “
The Demon Mountain shouted in a deep voice, choking, his ice greatsword was unsheathed, and he strode towards Aven, and with a single sword, it would split Evan Lydford into two pieces.
Evan is the only son of Count Leo, a precious golden baby, pampered since childhood, and Evan is also rewarded by his father's 'favoritism'.
The generals of the Western Realm were all shocked! They understood: Demon Mountain's military order, if you don't obey it, you will die!
Ai Wen was frightened, his face turned pale in an instant, he choked and pulled out his sword, knelt down on one knee, and held the sword in both hands over his head: "Lord Duke Gregor, I am willing to follow you until death!"
The teenager was terrified!
All the subtle public relations excuses he thought of were useless, and in his eagerness, he shouted the slogan of following the magic mountain.
The Magic Mountain stopped, and a slight tremor of the ground reached Aivan's feet.
The faces of the generals in the Western Realm all changed slightly.
Jazz, Lady, Knight, General, Centurion, Soldier are all awe-inspiring!
"Military orders, those who don't obey them die!" said Moshan lightly. His gaze swept over the generals of the Western Realm like an awl, and everyone in the Western Realm was silent!
"I have followed Lord Tywin for twenty-two years, and I have never betrayed him. But Duke Tywin, in order to please the Martell family and unify the kingdom, must put me to death, and when I attacked Dragonstone, Duke Tywin first ordered Davon Lannister to slaughter all the innocent villagers of my village of Crega, and then plotted to murder me in the Red Keep in King's Landing......"
The sound of the magic mountain is like a low dark thunder rolling through the clouds, and the roaring sound suppresses and wraps the explosion containing a thunderbolt, but I don't know when this thunderbolt will explode.
Demon Mountain's voice was low and slaughtering: "I have resisted with the will of the Seven Gods, and I have defeated Lord Tywin. Still, I'm a vassal of House Lannister, just like you, and that hasn't changed. Loyalty! is the glory and code of my magic mountain. Her Majesty Queen Mother Cersei Lannister, the Guardian of the Territory, has decreed that Kevon Lannister's treason must be put on public trial by the Council of Imperial Ministers, and I am ordered to attack King's Landing and capture Kaivon alive, and anyone who disobeys the orders will be killed!"
The generals of the Western Realm had solemn faces, complicated eyes, and frequently looked at each other!
"Whoever does not obey the command, he will stand up like a true knight, and I will fulfill his glory. "The giant sword that the Demon Mountain is holding in one hand is like a small door panel. The Valyrian steel sword was extremely sharp, and circles of cyan dark lines appeared from the sword, which was the mark of a thousand tempers.
Of the crowd, Sansa Stark was the most familiar with this sword, the family sword that had been passed down from generation to generation by the Stark family! Because it is too heavy and too long, for hundreds of years, no one in the Stark family has been able to use this sword to kill the enemy, this is a heavy ritual sword inherited by the Stark family for four hundred years, and it is invaluable.
Bite!
Lady Faman of Fairy Island pulled out the dagger at her waist and knelt down on one knee, swearing allegiance to the Magic Mountain.
Count Farman was also the first to kneel down and swear allegiance to the Magic Mountain in the battle of King's Landing. Count Farman is now besieging Riverrun with hundreds of Fairy Island warriors in the Riverlands.
With two choking sounds, Ser Prest of Feasting Fire City and the acting city lord of the Bamford family of Disaster City drew their long swords, knelt down on one knee, and swore to attack King's Landing City on the orders of the Demon Mountain.
Lady Chariot of the Silver Hall knelt down on one knee in response to the Magic Mountain's orders, and the warriors of the Silver Hall swore an oath to join the Magic Mountain Legion to attack King's Landing.
Madame Charlotte is already a loyal ally of the Magic Mountain, and she has privately sworn allegiance to the Mountain. Her eldest son, Silverhall heir Ardor Sariot, is now the Supreme Commander of the Westlands, and under the command of Randolph Tully, he led some 8,000 Westside troops to besiege Riverrun in Riverlands.
Addo Chariot is at odds with the Mountain, but his mother has become an ally with the Mountain, and has become the Mountain's strongest supporter, helper, and participant in the West.
After the death of Earl Ode, Bancrof, acting lord of Lannisport, presided over the event. Scholar Bancrov bowed down and swore to the Magic Mountain that Lannisport would follow Lord Gregor to the death to attack King's Landing.
In the end, whether it was Crag Rock City and Brand City in the north, Golden Tooth City in the east, Kaiyan City and Lannisport in the west, or Chicken Hall and Corn City in the south, all the generals knelt down and swore an oath to obey the military orders and follow the Magic Mountain to attack King's Landing.
Corn City is the domain of the Swevers, and the Swevers and Kevon Lannister are family, and Kevon's wife, Donna Schwiffer, is the daughter of Earl Harris Schwiever, the biological mother of brothers such as Lancel, William, Martin, and others.
In the West, the most supportive and loyal to Kaivon Lannister, apart from the Lannister's capital city of Castle Rock, is the Corn City of the Swiifer family.
Harris Swift and his eldest son, Stephen Swift, were in charge of logistics in Tywin's army, which had the advantage that they would not be killed by the enemy on the battlefield so easily. The distribution and management of grain, grass, weapons and armor were all in the rear.
Magic Mountain looked at the banner of the 'Blue Bantam on a Yellow Background' and shouted, "Who is the acting city lord of the Swiftford family, and how to call it?"
Harris and Stephen were not killed in battle, but they were not in the West, and Harris assisted him by King's Landing with his son-in-law Kaivon, while his eldest brother, Sir Stephen, was in charge of the logistics of the Westlands in the Riverlands.
A knight stepped into line: "Lord Duke Gregor, I am Humphrey Swift, the acting lord of Corn City. ”
"Very well, Sir Humphrey Swivel, I want you to lead the warriors of Corn City as the first vanguard to attack King's Landing. You may write a letter in advance to persuade Earl Schwiver in King's Landing to pledge allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Cersei Lannister, and if he swears to fight to the death, he will not abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and tell Count Harris that there will be no more Corntown in the West. ”
