"You know what? Stannis is dead. Jaime Lannister said.

"Yes, Lord Duke. ”

"When did you find out?"

"Not long ago, Lord Duke. ”

"Your message is behind schedule, Lord Mulen. ”

“...... Yes...... I don't have a channel for King's Landing...... Lord Duke. ”

"I have not officially sworn in the Templar to become the Duke of Castle Rock. Jaime Lannister motioned for Mullen to sit down, "Sit down, my lord, this is your study." You are the host and I am the guest. ”

"Everything in Lannisport was given to Lord Tywin, and everything I have is the Duke's. Mullen said humbly.

Jaime Lannister looked at Mullen with his glass and looked at him for a moment, as if to examine his heart.

Stannis I had no sons, and his daughter Shireen Baratheon was not an heir, but only the two sons of the former King Robert, Joffrey Baratheon and Tommen Baratheon. ”

“...... Yes, Lord Duke......"

"Here's our chance, Lord Mullen. Jaime Lannister said unhappily.

“...... His Majesty Joffrey doesn't have any definite news yet......" Mullen said after a moment's hesitation, "and Tomman Baratheon and Cersei Lannister are in the Eagle's Nest." The Eagle's Nest City is high and steep, and without dragons, no one can attack the city at the top of the clouds. ”

"You're right, but we've got a secret connection with Ryza Tully of Eagle's Nest. ”

"Eddard Stark and Caitlin Tully aren't going to give us this chance in the West. ”

Jaime Lannister stared at Mulen Lannister in silence until the latter showed uneasiness.

"You have no faith in our revival, Lord Mullen. ”

Mu Lun was silent for a while, and said, "Lord Duke, we have a gold mine, as long as we first hold the western border and not become king, we will be strong again." ”

"No, we already have a careful plan, we can't wait for the Western Frontier to slowly become stronger, we want to become strong as soon as possible. ”

"The Duke already has a plan?"

"Yes, I will requisition your fleet. Jaime said softly, "Lord Mullen, can I requisition your fleet?"

“...... Yes, Lord Duke...... However, who is the Duke going to war with with whom he is going to requisition the fleet?"

"I'm going to take the Iron Islands first. ”

Mullen breathless!

"Lord Duke, the strength of the Iron Islands is not something our fleet can deal with, and the fleet of Lannisport is more than defended, and our strength is not enough to take the initiative to attack the Iron Islands. And, as far as I know, King Balon of the Iron Isles is our ally to the West. ”

"Not anymore. Jaime Lannister said lightly, "The last time the Western Frontier fought against the coalition forces, the Iron Islands did not move, and when the people of the North went south to fight us, the Iron Islands did not send troops to attack the Northern Territory as agreed. ”

“...... Lord Duke, attacking the Iron Islands, is this a joint decision of Lord Kaivon and Lord Duke?"

"Yes. Jaime Lannister gulped down the wine, put his glass heavily on the desk, and let out a thud.

Mu Lun said: "Lord Duke, I don't think the Western Realm has recovered yet, and it is not suitable to use swords again. ”

"You're right, but what if the Iron Islands' warships come out to attack the North, leaving the entire Iron Islands empty?" Jaime Lannister said lightly, "If the great feats of destroying the Iron Islands are written by the Westers, it will be the time to revive the confidence of the Westers, and it will also be the most powerful capital for the Westlands to support Joffrey or Tommen to sit on the Iron Throne in the future." Baron was king, and he was justified in his crusade. ”

Mullen said, "Is the news of the Iron Islands' attack on the North accurate this time?"

"It's true. Jaime Lannister said softly. He forced his eyes at Mullen Lannister, "Lord Mullen, what is the point of keeping the warships in Lannister Harbor if they don't fight......? Hey...... That's much faster than mining to get gold. ”

Mullen Lannister said: "Lord Duke, once this battle is fought, we will have an unquenchable hatred with the Iron People of the Iron Islands, and we will never want to get the peace of maritime trade again. ”

"No, from now on, we will always have peace of mind at sea, and we will no longer worry about the Iron People of the Iron Islands coming out to raid. ”

"Oh, why do you say that, the Iron People who have lost their homes will stop at nothing to attack our western frontier. In a battle at sea, if we lose the geographical advantage of the defense of the port, we can hardly be the opponent of the Iron People. ”

Jaime smiled slightly, "Mullen, the problem you are worried about will not exist. ”

"Why?" asked Mullen.

"The Iron Folk who attacked the North have no chance to go to sea again. Jaime said firmly.

Mu Lun's brow furrowed, and there were deep Sichuan lines on his forehead.

"The people of the north have dug a pit waiting for them to jump?"

"Believe me, Mullen, it's not like I haven't done anything since I've been gone for so long. "Anyone can be our enemy or our ally." ”

"I don't understand. ”

"You'll understand. Then, give me your fleet transfer warrant. ”

"As you wish, Lord Duke. ”

Mullen untied the talisman from his waist and respectfully handed it to Jaime.

Jaime was so pleased with Mullen Lannister that he went to the wine cabinet and poured wine for Mullen and himself: "Come, a toast." He pushed open the window, and the two of them stood in front of the window, overlooking the huge city. This port city is larger than White Harbor in the north and Seagull Town in the Vale, and is second only to King's Landing and the harbor of Old Town.

Suddenly, the east side of the city was ablaze, and neither of them cared at first, laughing and talking, drinking and chatting, but what Mullen wanted to know most was what had happened to Jaime since his disappearance, and what his plans were for the future of the West.

"Lord Duke, I'm going to see the fire. Mullen couldn't hold his breath.

"Slow!" said Jaime, "look north. ”

Mullen was surprised to find that the city to the north was also on fire, and almost at the same time, the south was also on fire.

"Someone deliberately set a fire in the city?" Mullen couldn't believe it.

"Who's going to set fire to Lannis?" said Jaime. Before the words fell, a fire also broke out near the Seven Sacred Halls in the center of the city. The flames were not far from the main castle tower of Mulen, and soon a fire broke out.

"Lord Duke, I'm going to arrange for the Legion to put out the fire. Mullen was anxious. If Lannisport were burned to the ground, the Mullens would really be nothing.

"The ship can't be set on fire. Jaime said, "I'm going to get the ship out of port." As he spoke, the western harbor was also on fire.

"Yes, Lord Duke. Mullen had lost the patience to speak, "My lord, the fire waits for no one, please be responsible for transferring the ship to shore, and I will be responsible for putting out the fire in the city." Without waiting for Jaime to respond, he hurried out of the study.

Mullen came to the council chamber like a wind, and the officers of the city garrison and the officers of the battleship fleet rushed in successively, and in peacetime, the officers lived in the center of the city.

Mullen quickly gave the order and ordered the garrison and the naval corps to rush to the scene of the fire to extinguish the fire. As for the fleet, the sailors and shipwrights were on board, and at the request of someone gave the ship, the sailors could sail the ship away without the need for the legionnaires to rush there. The legionnaires rushed to the battleship, except for war or military training.

Mu Lun himself personally led the guards to the fire point in the city, and could not let the fire burn the Seven Holy Churches.
