Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 112

What happened at the Wende River happened two weeks ago, and Joffrey and Alyn's men certainly couldn't fail to see it.

In fact, today's petition is not the beginning, but the final conclusion.

But before announcing the answer, Joffrey wanted to hear the views of the ministers again, "Tyrion, what do you think?"

In the white virtual space, Joffrey looked at Tyrion, who had become a normal person.

With the power of magic, the online imperial meeting is almost like another world. With a thought, you can control the projection here to make various actions and reactions, and at the same time continue to move in reality. It is equivalent to having two bodies that do not interfere with each other.

Tyrion, who was named, was helpless.

Although he knew that the king must have made a decision, and it was almost impossible to be persuaded, he could only control the projection to speak:

"The Wende River and Cape Marseille are not important places that must be contested. Renly let his subordinates do this kind of thing regardless of his reputation for benevolence in the past, which shows that he must have a lot of plans."

In reality, Joffrey looked at the people below, thinking seriously.

Indeed, before that, everyone thought that Renly would go straight to King's Landing. Perhaps the Earls of Marseilles and Earls of Wendwater never thought that their territories would be completely destroyed.

Tyrion continued, "Renly's move seems to be deliberately luring our army to go south. After all, its fleet is weak, and the Blackwater River is an obstacle that the southern rebels cannot avoid. Definitely more beneficial."

It makes sense, and the ministers thought about it.

Tyrion manipulated the light curtain to print a three-dimensional and exquisite map on the ground of the white space.

"Look, everyone, if our army goes south to support Cape Marseilles, not only will the royal forest be vast and difficult to navigate, and it will be easy to be ambushed, but Renly's garrisons at Bronzegate City and Hay Hall are not far away, and they can rush to the Wende River in a day. Stop our army's retreat."

Tyrion pointed to the Bitter Bridge further west, "If the cavalry move forward at full speed, it will only take four or five days to reach the royal forest from Bitter Bridge, one week for elite infantry, and two weeks for peasant soldiers."

"If our army is entangled in Cape Marseilles, wait for the Bitter Bridge rebels to arrive and block the Wende River and the Royal Forest. At that time, the Wende River, Hay Hall, Harvest Hall, and Black Water Bay will surround our army in Marseilles Around the promontory, it is simply a noose that is gradually tightened. Why do you want to get in."

"Even if you return to King's Landing before the Bitterbridge rebels arrive, it will affect the morale of the army to some extent, and it will be a waste of energy."

Besides, the Wende River was in ruins.Even if they immediately supported Cape Marseilles, it would be too late by the time they got there, and they could only harvest hundreds of thousands of hungry mouths at most, and there was no need to grab these, as Renly would send them to their door.

Tyrion drew a circle towards the king's forest, "This is the only area Renly can wreak havoc on at will."

"The Wende River and Cape Marseille are irreparable. The royal forest is less populated. The rest of the king's land is under the protection of King's Landing. The rebels can't repeat their old tricks."

Tyrion concluded.

"This is an obvious trap, and there will be no more losses. We shouldn't rush south, just stick to King's Landing. Can the rebels still hang around in the south?"

As for the several lords who petitioned, they had no choice but to make compensation after the victory according to their own request.

Beside the discussion table in the Throne Hall, Tyrion said with admiration, "Earl Wendwater, Earl of Marseilles, you two are really role models of nobles. You should consider the overall situation of the country at the expense of your own interests. I sincerely admire you. .”

In the white room and the throne room, Joffrey remained silent.

The Minister of War, Sir James, objected in the white space, "Renly burned, killed and looted in the royal territory, how can we turn a blind eye?"

"The number of rebels is indeed huge, but that's all."

James is very confident in the power of King's Landing, "For ordinary troops, Cape Marseille is indeed dangerous. But the holy war army created by God's grace is by no means ordinary, and the balance of war has completely changed!"

These days, James has personally experienced the power of divine grace.

"Just send out a few thousand crusaders, and Renly's army will collapse immediately, just like Aegon the Conqueror's 'Wrath of Fire' battle!"

In fact, Tyrion also felt deeply about this.

The power of magic spread so fast and bottomless that people could only be shocked by it.

But to what extent?How does it compare to Aegon's dragon?

Tyrion chooses to give the most cautious answer.

If the effect of magic is indeed unmatched, then sticking to King's Landing will still not cause any interference to victory.

If the effect is not as expected, sticking to King's Landing is still the least bad decision.

The Hound believed in the power of magic. "Renly's sword is nothing to mention. Give me five hundred crusaders, and make sure that none of the bastards in Cape Marseille can escape! Don't even try to stop the rebels in the Stormlands!"

Hannah, the former steward of the imperial court, raised a new topic.

"What about the refugees who entered King's Landing? The current food supply can only support 60 to [-] people. If this continues, the Red Castle's grain depot will have to be opened."

Hannah, who is in charge of the logistics bureau, has become the minister who cares most about food.

Erin said, "Strictly check at the gate of the city, let the refugees outside go further north to make a living, and then arrange work for the refugees in the city, isn't the Engineering Bureau just in need of people?"

Tyrion waved his hand, "No, there are already enough people in the Engineering Bureau, and now they have recruited 2 people, which is definitely enough."

Joffrey asked at last, "Hasn't the Eastern half cleared yet?"

Today is already August [-]th, and the second round of investigation in King's Landing City ended a few days earlier, and many suspicious people and properties were cleared.But still not enough to compensate for half of King's Landing.

Tyrion had been so worried about this task for a long time that he almost gave up on it.Unfortunately, this kind of thinking can only be thought of.

"Your Majesty, it will take some time." Tyrion could only admit the status quo.

"War will break out at any time, and the golden dragon in the treasury cannot be taken easily. I can only try my best to exchange property and promises for the eastern half of the city, but this method is obviously not useful for everyone."

Tyrion could understand how those people felt.

Abandoning the industry or the home that has been relied on for generations, the shining golden dragon may not satisfy everyone, let alone another strange house or empty promises.

But will the wayward king tolerate their resistance?
Joffrey thought silently.

Tyrion acted cautiously, Alyn and Hannah performed their duties, Jaime and the Hound advocated an attack, and Grand Maester Pycelle remained silent.There is also the procrastinating eastern half of the city.

Joffrey stood up from the Iron Throne.

Everyone in the Throne Hall fell silent instantly, paying attention to the king.

Joffrey looked at the courtiers on the left, "Lord Beric Dondarrion, I will give you two hundred crusaders, and set off for Cape Marseilles tomorrow to punish the mob, enforce the law, and spread justice."

Joffrey looked to the right again, "Thoros of Myr, assisted by you."

Soros, the red-robed monk of the King of Light, and Dondarrion, the Earl of Black Harbor, have the same combination but different situations. Will the resurrection power of the King of Light still appear?
