Chapter 0991 - Negotiation: Extermination!
Bitter Bridge, Caswyburg.
Will receives a raven letter from the Tyrells.
The Tyrells have proposed peace and are hoping to come to Bitterbridge to meet with Lord Will for negotiations.
Will wrote back, making an appointment for the address in the long table room.
As soon as the vanguard of Mu Dun arrived at the Long Table Hall, he received a military order from Will, telling him to stand by in the Long Table Hall and suspend the attack on the Wine Hall.
The Wine Room is only a two-day ride away from the Long Table Room, not far away.
This made Mu Dun very depressed, but Lord Will had an order, and Mu Dun had to order the vanguard army to stop and settle in the Long Table Hall.
The next day, Will ordered the whole army to be dispatched, all the troops, infantry, archers, lancers, logistics, all sorted, and marched towards the Long Table Hall.
At this scale, it seems that it is not going to peace talks, but to war.
The two griffons followed the sky all the way, and the horses gradually adapted to the griffon's breath and unthreatening cry.
*
A few days later, the Long Table Hall was the main fort.
Will and the Tyrells family representatives, Wills Tyrell and Margaery Tyrell, sat down at the negotiating table.
Will's side, Arya and Jaime sat side by side, behind him was Taryn Ash, the giant who made Riverbend famous.
Behind Velas Tyrell stood the Guard General, Deacon Tully. The young man is very handsome and sharp. It's a pity that in front of Will and others, his temperament is really a little thin.
The Tyrells' maes, butlers, noble generals, and dozens of others were behind Vilas.
It's a huge negotiating team.
But sit down to represent two people: Willas Tyrell, heir to House Tyrrell, and Margaery Tyrrell, youngest daughter.
"Prime Minister, let me explain our previous military uplift. Velas Tyrell said.
"I don't need to explain, you want to show me your strength, thinking that you can make me jealous through the display of strength, so as to make concessions. Will said lightly.
In a word, Will sealed Vilas's explanation.
It's strong.
But he had already told the other party's true motive for the show of force, and Will had no intention of making false politeness with Vilas.
Vilas's face was embarrassed!
The Prime Minister refused to give him any face or dignity, and the hypocrisy and etiquette among the nobles were useless to the Prime Minister.
Hypocrisy, politeness, manners, nobility and elegance in a serious lieβthe virtues of these nobles, the manners to which everyone is accustomed, are absent here in Will.
Jaime next to him hey hey.
"Miss Margaery, you are so beautiful. Jaime laughed.
"Thank you!" Margaery Tyrell replied with a graceful smile. Very false etiquette smile, without the true feelings of the heart.
But this is the cultivation of the aristocracy!
"Prime Minister, then, I apologize to you for my superficiality. Vilas Tyrell added. Since it's a negotiation, you have to speak, and you can't just shut up because of Lord Will's words, so how can this negotiation continue?
"Where are you superficial?" Will said lightly.
"I ordered the river to be put on a show of strength, by land and water, and I thought I would be able to force my lords to give in so that my father could be free. β
"You are right, after you offered to exchange weapons, food, and coins for my ouster, your father and Count Randolph Tully were thrown into the underground black cell of the Red Keep on the same day, and you succeeded. Will smiled, "Congratulations." β
Vilas's face flushed.
Will was as aggressive as a knife, and had no intention of giving him any dignity, not even the slightest respect among the nobles.
Margaery Tyrell stared into Will's eyes, and a blade flashed in her eyes: "Prime Minister, we have come to sincerely seek peace. β
"I know that if you don't seek peace, you will be exterminated, and it is not a glorious thing that you have to ask for peace. It doesn't matter if you've been a lord of the Tyrells in the Riverlands for a thousand years or a few hundred years, if you're not careful, the Riverlands will never have the blood of the Tyrells again. β
"Don't be aggressive, my lord!" shouted Margaery's fierce general.
Will shrugged, "Jaime!"
In a flash of cold light, a starlight shot into the throat of the fierce general, who slammed down his throat, his throat gurgling, his eyes wide, and his face full of horror.
"That's being aggressive. Will said lightly, "If you don't surrender, you die!" Will swept his gaze over Willas Tyrelll's frightened face, over Dicon Tully's anger, and over the complex eyes and frightened expressions of dozens of generals.
"My lord, the two armies intersect and do not kill the envoys, not to mention that we are here to negotiate in good faith. Bachelor Gao Ting said excitedly.
"Since the negotiations are in good faith, what qualifications do the vassals behind me have to intervene and reprimand me?"
The bachelor was speechless!
"Whoever is rude, you have to teach him manners. Will continued, "Respect and humility, are the family generals brought by Lord Vilas so disproportionate?"
Will kills someone, but leaves the other person speechless.
"The Prime Minister is right, but even so, Feranko is not guilty of death. Vilas said coldly.
"There are many people in the bitter bridge who are not guilty of death, they are not even guilty, but they are dead. Lord Vilas, what should you do to the so many people who died in Bitter Bridge? Who started the war? Now that the Seven Kingdoms are unified, I am the Prime Minister, the whole territory is guarded, the Regent, and the Tyrells are just a little bit of food, weapons, and money, and they want me to step down, so bold. Will snapped.
Vilas's face was blue and white!
"Since the Tyrells don't take the Prime Minister seriously and regard the Prime Minister's orders as air, it's no wonder that the family lackeys behind you dare to scold me here. Isn't it normal that I want his life?" Will looked back at Tyron Ash, "General Tyron, who dares to interject in the negotiation and kill him." β
"Yes, my lord!" said Taryn Ash. The sound was thunderous.
The housekeeper said, "Your Excellency, I have applied to join the negotiating table, and I hope that your Excellency will agree. β
Will looked at Tyron, who walked over and walked in front of the housekeeper, who grabbed him and threw him out, and the butler smashed through the window, flew out of the second floor, and fell on the school grounds.
After a bang, the butler's screams came to an abrupt end.
On the school ground, the 3,000 cavalry of the Tyrell family immediately sounded the warning of the battle, and then the sound of marching footsteps sounded in all directions, and Will's more than 10,000 soldiers entered the arena on all sides, shouting slogans, taking steps, and roaring around the circle.
Willas Tyrell, Margaery Tyrell, and the high court will all be shocked.
"What do you say, Lord Vilas?" Will said lightly.
"Your Excellency, allow me to call out to my soldiers. β
Will nodded.
Vilas turned his wheelchair and ordered, Deacon Tully helped him, and the two came to the window, and outside the martial arts arena, three thousand cavalry had been surrounded, and there were pikemen on all sides, and the encirclement was like an iron bucket.
"Generals of the Tyrell family, don't panic, the negotiations are going well, just now the butler made a disrespectful remark, which angered General Tyrann, a little misunderstanding, and now it has been clarified, everyone lay down their weapons and don't fight. β
Rumble!
Three thousand cavalrymen laid down their weapons and lined up.
These were the most elite 3,000 soldiers of the Tyrells, carefully selected from tens of thousands of soldiers.
Villas breathed a sigh of relief, waved to the crowd in the arena to reassure the soldiers, and returned to the negotiating table.
"Lord Will, I accept any conditions you offer. Velas Tyrell said.
The content of the negotiation that he had rehearsed countless times before was all abandoned by him.
Margaery was stunned.
The eldest brother didn't even say anything about his father's return, which was too much.
Will said, "Well, I'll be honest, except for the Tyrells, we all accept to surrender. β
It was like a punch to Vilas's chest.
Margaery Tyrell stood up suddenly, her eyes wide, and Will looked at her, she was too angry to say a word.
"The strange ghosts of the north will attack us at any time, the battle of the Great Wall of Desperation is imminent, I don't have time to rub any power distribution with you, the lives of the human race are at stake, anyone who provokes authority and delays time is a capital crime and cannot be forgiven. β
Vilas Tyrell was dumbfounded!
"In this incident, the Tyrells family dared to challenge the dignity of the whole realm, weaken my prestige, and affect my authority to gather the military forces of the Seven Kingdoms to fight the strange ghosts, the Tyrell family, must be exterminated. Will said lightly, "I won't accept your surrender, but I will accept the surrender of any other family except your family." β
Vilas's throat gurgled but he couldn't speak, and his wheelchair overturned, and Deakon Tully hurriedly held on.
Margaery Tyrell gritted her teeth: "Okay, Lord Will, if you want to fight, then fight!"
Will said: "Margaery, I want to unify the seven kingdoms, I need everyone to surrender, and I will never dare to disagree again, this time it is your bad luck, I have to use your family to make an example." Jaime, Miss Margaery, threatened me and killed her. β
The narrow sword flashed coldly, Jaime's narrow sword pierced Margaery's throat, followed by a turn of his left palm on Margaery's shoulder, Margaery's body turned in a semicircle, Jaime's narrow sword entered the sheath, and Margaery's throat shot out like a blood arrow, and thin blood lines splashed on the faces and bodies of the generals behind him.
Silence!
"That's the price of the threat. Will said lightly: "Generals, don't panic, if you are not from the Tyrell family, please get out of the way, if you are willing to surrender, please stand in the corner, and if you are willing to live and die with the Tyrell family, please stand behind Velas Tyrell." β
The general in the audience rang out with heavy breathing.
"When Mace Tyrell challenged my Prime Minister's authority in the Council Chamber of King's Landing at the Red Keep, his family was destined to be shown to all the people of the Seven Kingdoms. Our enemies are strangers, and we don't have the energy to fight in the front, and there are still great nobles in the rear who are constantly engaged in conspiracy. Will said lightly, "You can figure it out best, if you can't figure it out, then you can either hold back, or return to the territory and quickly gather troops to defend the High Court." Today's negotiations are over, generals, please come back. β
"Lord Will, I will surrender!" Count Aries stepped out of the line and stood in the corner.
"Very well, Count, thank you for your understanding. Will said, his gaze sweeping over the knights, "Anything else?"
"I surrender. The Earl of the Wine Hall stepped forward and walked into the corner.
Next, Night Song City, Bright Water City, Hive City, Three Towers, Whispering Bay, Black Crown City, Qingting Island, Old Town, almost all the Tyrell family vassals chose to submit.
Finally, Deacon Tully of Horn said, "Lord Will, we do not surrender. β
"Very well, you go back with your lord and get ready for battle, we will soon come and destroy the Tyrells and the Tullys, and from now on, there will be no more Tyrells and Tully in the Bends. Will said lightly, "Thank you for letting the people of the Seven Kingdoms see our irreversible authority and will. β
The Tyrells family had quite a few family generals, many of them illegitimate children, who picked up Margaret Tyrrell's corpse, their eyes bloodshot, and left.
Deacon Tully came to the arena, and Will was standing at the window watching him, and he was also watching Will right away. Deacon's eyes were like knives, Will's eyes were faint, but they were like the sea, and the sea was not turbulent despite Deacon's storm.
*
All the families of the entire Riverlands, except for the Tyrells and the Tully, all the rest of the families surrendered.
"Generals, please go home and say goodbye to your family, and then take your family's elite warriors, food and grass, in no particular order, and set out for Winterfell in the north. I'm giving you four months to get them all in Winterfell. The strange spirits are coming, and we must keep the strange spirits out of the desperate Great Wall. β
"Yes, Prime Minister!" said the generals of the Riverlands, bowing together.
If the Tyrells had not been killed, it would have been a long and laborious task to do the ideological work of these arrogant nobles of the South. When they go to the north to fight strange ghosts, every family will shirk it, they are not northerners.
The generals came downstairs one after another, mounted their horses, and galloped away with their guards.
Will needs absolute 'do what you do, you can't do it.'"
*
Mrs. Olenna Redwin was suddenly frightened and cold in her home fort. She instructed the servants to carry her to the garden, which was full of flowers, the sun was bright and warm, but she still couldn't help but shudder.
"Bachelor, bachelor!" shouted Madame.
The servant cautioned, "Ma'am, the Bachelor followed Master Vilas to the Long Table Hall to negotiate peace. β
"Oh!" "Madame remembered," "go and get me a little bowl of poppy milk." β
"Yes, ma'am. β
*
In the dungeon of the Red Keep, Mace Tyrell suddenly felt very frightened, and he looked at Randolph Tully: "General, I feel a wave of fear. β
Lan Dao smiled: "My lord, don't be afraid, Will won't dare to do anything to us." The soldiers of the river bend are well fed, and he does not have so much time and energy to fight a protracted war. It took him a long time to hit Dorne, and he will take even longer to hit Riverlands. β
"But I'm still inexplicably afraid. β
"My lord, if you can't stand it and want to go out, it's easy, promise the jailer some coins, and he'll take us out if we're willing to follow Will's words. "We relented, Lord Will took the Bends without a fight, he retained his authority, and we regained our freedom." When the time comes, after the war in the north, Will will go north, and he can't tell who will be the king who will have the last laugh. β()
