Game of Thrones' opening sold the gods

Chapter 92. 91. Take Back the Stolen Land
King's Landing, the Red Keep.

At this moment, several people in the throne room were arguing endlessly, while Tommen watched from the sidelines.

"Queen, I don't recommend doing this. The strength of the riverlands is much stronger than we imagined." Olenna tried her best to dissuade Cersei from wanting to die.

However, Cersei is Cersei, and she has once again returned to the pinnacle of power, and she can't listen to other people's advice.

"The Crab Claw Peninsula was a gift from Tyrion the Kingslayer to Theon Greyjoy. They have long been in collusion. I'm just taking back what they stole!"

Seeing that Olenna was still going to speak, Cersei continued: "Now vote by show of hands, and the members of the imperial council will vote!"

Cersei accentuated the pronunciation of the four words of the imperial meeting, and it is obvious that Olenna is not a member of the imperial meeting.

Afterwards, several people raised their hands to vote. There were seven people in the imperial meeting, and four people supported Cersei. In the end, Pai Sil also raised his hand.

In the end, Cersei finalized the plan to take back the Crab Claw Peninsula with an absolute advantage of five votes.

"Merson, let out the ravens and let the army of the western region and the nobles of the stormland gather." After speaking, Cersei turned her gaze to Margaery.

"Queen, your king wants to get back what belongs to him, and your king needs your help!" Cersei begged for help, but her tone was full of threats and toughness.

Margaret's face remained unchanged, and she said calmly: "Your Majesty Tommen is everything to me, and I will naturally do my best to help my husband, but Queen Mother, it's time to collect food, and I'm not sure how many nobles can come forward." Come to King's Landing."

According to the law, when the king recruits vassals to fight for him, the vassals are obliged to put down what they are doing and come to fight.

But the premise is that the king is strong enough to suppress local forces.

However, the Iron Throne's finances did not improve because of the cessation of the war, and it was even a little bit unsustainable because of the huge debt owed by Robert.

And what annoys Cersei the most is that the gold mines in the west are almost exhausted, which means that the Lannister family's finances will be in a huge crisis.

Not to mention helping Cersei pay off her debts, even the maintenance of the elite army in the Western Territory is somewhat unaffordable.

This also caused the strength of the Iron Throne to plummet, and the fertile Reach Land made Highgarden the most powerful family in the south.

At least on the surface, the Reach is the most powerful side.

Facing Margaery's ambiguity, Cersei glanced at Olenna coldly, then smiled and said that it doesn't matter, she can come as much as she can.

Then Cersei said a lot more eloquently before announcing the end of the meeting.

After leaving the throne room, Olenna couldn't help but start cursing Cersei.

"This is really the stupidest woman I've ever seen. She only knows how to fight for power and has no strategic vision or structure. How long has the Northern Territory persisted in front of the Hejian army?"

"Excluding the marching time, probably no more than three days." Margaery said helplessly.

The war in the north has passed for a long time, and the news has also spread to the ears of several countries in the south.

Among them, the West Territory and the Reach are the most tense, because there is a blood gate in the valley, and Dorne has natural dangers and has a good relationship with Theon.

And the Iron Throne of the royal realm is purely because it has no brains, so it is fearless, especially Cersei, the typical "I am the Queen Regent, everyone should listen to me and submit to my feet."

Olenna cursed: "What an idiot, Tywin hasn't learned any tricks, and his ability to kill is not small"

"Hejian has at least 5 troops, and that little sea monster dared to attack the northern border with 2 people, which means that there are at least [-] people in Hejian."

Margaery sighed.

"And the army of the Riverland has returned to the Riverland now, and it is only now that they are preparing to take back the Crab Claw Peninsula. This is really... indescribable, what should we do now?"

Olenna thought as she walked, and finally decided to let the Reach gather 2 people to the kingdom.

"We mustered 2 people, 1 in the stormy region, plus 5000 in the western region, and [-] cavalry in the valley, for a total of [-]. It's not impossible."

Then Olenna said to Margaery: "You are the queen now, we have just begun to ascend to the highest center of power, and the Crab Claw Peninsula is very important to King's Landing!"

"That little sea monster is not simple. He now connects the Iron Islands, the Riverlands, and the North into one piece. In the future, Westeros may not only have the Iron Throne, but also the Salt Throne. God, it's really scary."

Olenna's tone was full of helplessness, only Margaery was the best of her juniors, and the other juniors were hard to tell at a glance.

If Theon really casts the Salt Throne and announces his ascension in the future, it will be completely different from the nature of claiming to be the King of the Iron Islands, and war will definitely break out between the two thrones in the future.

The most frightening thing is that Theon is still young, and he still has several money-making techniques in his hands, such as the so-called Quyuanli, which is now used in many places in Westeros. .

Quyuanli's method is not complicated. After Xi En popularized Quyuanli with his own power, he knew in his heart that it was impossible to prevent others from imitating it, so he directly produced a large number of Quyuanli for sale.

"I can only pray to the Seven Gods that we can defeat the army of the riverlands. The Iron Fleet of the Iron Islands seems to have gone to Essos. We can send the fleet of the Arbor Island to attack the Iron Islands."

A gleam flashed in Olenna's eyes, and she said slowly: "The Qingting Island fleet can be fully loaded with 5000 people, if we can get the method of making refined iron salt and the richness of our river bend, maybe we won't be here Lions are needed."

Olenna's idea is very simple, the army in Hejian is going south, and the Iron Fleet is going away to Essos. I don't know what to do. At this time, the Iron Islands must be extremely weak.

If you bring more than 1 elites with you at this time, maybe you can really grab the method of making iron refined salt.

And if the Reach Land has the method of making refined salt, coupled with the rich products of the Reach Land, it will have enough financial resources to raise a fully armed army.

At that time, if Hejian becomes king and independent first, then in addition to the Iron Throne and the Salt Throne, it is not impossible to add a Rose Throne.

Regardless of the fact that the Targaryen dynasty ruled Westeros for hundreds of years, the Seven Kingdoms existed independently for thousands of years before the dragon family came to Westeros.

It is said that Robert is a quarter of Targaryen blood to sit on the Iron Throne, but this is only part of the reason.

What's more, the Wolf family and the Eagle family are not interested in the Iron Throne, and the Lion family and the Sand Snake family are at odds. There is also a "Kingslayer" Kingsguard in the Lion family, and it is impossible to sit on the Iron Throne.

Coupled with the fact that the cause of the incident came from Robert's fiancée, and Robert killed Prince Rhaegar, after a lot of negotiations, Robert sat on the Iron Throne.

In the final analysis, if the center is weak and the place is strong, without the existence of a big killer like a dragon, Westeros is very likely to return to the era of the Seven Kingdoms, not to mention the bloodlines of Cersei's three children. I know it well.

It's just that until now, no absolutely powerful existence has come out to declare independence and become king.

Once someone declares independence as king, and the Iron Throne does not defeat this independent person in the first place, then Westeros will split sooner or later.

There is no Confucianism in Westeros, just like after the Roman Empire in the ancient West fell apart, there has never been a split country with the goal of unifying the world.

In Westeros, people value bloodlines, surnames, and families.

But the premise of all this is that it is beneficial to their own family. If there is a chance to become independent king again, no one will let it go. For them, this is the greatest glory.

Back then, Aegon unified Westeros with the help of the dragon, so that the king of the Seven Kingdoms presented the crown and was reduced to a duke.

Now that the dragon has disappeared for a hundred years and the royal family is weak, once someone starts to tear off the last fig leaf of the Iron Throne, Westeros will return to the "Age of the Seven Kingdoms".
