Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 149 Guardian of the Summer Sea
The Redwyne twins look alike, with short orange hair and square, freckled faces.

But everyone present could tell the two apart.

Wearing a white cloak and wearing a pure white shield, the Kingsguard was undoubtedly Hobber Redwyne, who was raised as the second son among them.

Horace Redwyne, who had the emblem of purple grapes engraved on the center of his breastplate, bowed and spoke.

"I beg your Majesty to order."

Joffrey smiled faintly, "The two of you have stayed in King's Landing long enough, why don't you go home with Earl Velaryon and have a look, just to convey my greetings to Earl Paxter."

The meaning is clear.

The Redwyne twins are coming home!

Let go of the protons of the Redwyne family, throwing away the important bargaining chips in their hands.The king's decision should have shocked many people, admonishing them, or secretly hesitating.

However, none showed a strong enough reaction.Even Horace and Hopper.

Everyone is very clear.

A mighty fleet at sea is worth a thousand words, more direct and powerful than any promise or promise.

Compared with the two hundred naval guns owned by the Third Fleet, the tendency of the Redwyne twins is insignificant, and the attitude of the Arbor Island is also irrelevant.

after all.

The castle on Arbor Island is no more difficult to break than Rain House City.

The Redwyne twins saluted together, "Thank you for your majesty's compassion, my father will definitely feel the royal family's real concern, wake up and pledge allegiance to the real king."

Joffrey nodded. "That would be the best."

After showing power, you need to show grace.

Joffrey said generously, "After the two fleets are merged into one, your two brothers can continue to command the ships that originally belonged to the Arbor Island, and the Arbor Island will also become the permanent port of the Royal Fleet."

The Royal Fleet is permanently stationed on Qingting Island?Horace and Hopper remained silent, not knowing whether to thank them, or express a little bit the difficulty of accomplishing this.

The Redwyne family has been defeated and surrendered before, so they can accept foreign fleets to stay permanently?

The two brothers wondered if their father could tolerate it.

But Joffrey was very confident in the favorable conditions he offered.

Isn't it the garrison?

After seeing the power of naval guns, Earl Paxter would naturally accept it.

Moreover, as long as the Redwyne family puts their butts on the side of the Iron Throne, this condition is not a restriction or punishment, but a reward and a symbol of intimacy that they can only dream of.

However, it is indeed difficult to achieve this "only".

This "as long as" means that the Redwyne family has to make their own choice between "king" and "king".

It's never easy.

Joffrey knew very well that there would be no single correct answer to the question of "Which is greater, the king or the prince" until God's grace shines on him.

What's more, the major families in the Reach have intermarried for a long time. In terms of relationship, history, contract, and common interests, the first choice of the Redwyne family can only be the Tyrell family representing the Reach.

How could the Reach, the richest and most populous land in the Seven Kingdoms, be an alliance of interests?
It must be divided and conquered, each defeated.

Qingting Island, which hangs alone overseas, is the best breakthrough point in the Reach.

Then Joffrey said: "The contribution of the Redwyne family is obvious to all. Cleaning up pirates, guarding trade routes, making the summer sea in the south a thoroughfare, and benefiting the people of the Seven Kingdoms."

The Redwyne twins didn't know why, but they also knew that this was just a foreshadowing, and what they said next was the real key.

Joffrey produced a scroll of papers.

"The royal family will naturally not turn a blind eye to the meritorious lord. Today, Earl Garedwynn is specially appointed as the 'Guardian of the Summer Sea', and is ordered to guard the sea, defend against foreign enemies, and protect the shipping route."

Horace and Hopper were stunned immediately, and many people in the hall couldn't help being shaken.

The Summer Sea extends eastward to the southern coast of Essos, and southward to the northern coast of Sothros.

Westeros, Essos, and Sothros, the summer sea in the middle of these three continents is prosperous and vast, and its area may be comparable to the entire continent of Westeros, or even much larger.

"Guardian of the Summer Sea", what does this title represent?Since then, the Redwyne family has owned the entire Sea of ​​Summer?
All looked to the king.

There's one more problem: The Summer Sea doesn't belong to Westeros, and it doesn't belong to the Iron Throne.

Joffrey threw the letter of appointment downwards, and the Redwyne brothers hurriedly reached out to catch it, almost pushing the scroll to the ground.

Joffrey pointed to the ground in the center of the hall. The map on the ground had somehow become the entire known world.

"It's not just the sea of ​​summer. With the blessing of God, the royal fleet will traverse every sea area, including the narrow sea, trembling sea, jade sea, sunset sea, and even more distant and unknown worlds."

"It won't be long, I'm afraid that the guardianship quotas of each sea will not be filled."

Everyone is awakened, yes, who can resist such an invincible fleet?The vast ocean is about to be acquired by the seven nations!
"Horace, Hopper."

The two Redwyne brothers raised their heads in a daze and looked at the king.

Joffrey urged, "The position of 'Guardian of the Summer Sea' is of great importance. Earl Paxter must be advised to accept the appointment, and the fleet should be assembled as soon as possible to clear the sea area and declare sovereignty."

The expressions and eyes of the Redwyne brothers gave the answer.

Joffrey was satisfied.Showing majesty with naval guns and offering gifts with the summer sea, how can the Redwyne family refuse?

The alliance in the Reach is about to be torn apart.

At the same time, the changes in the Stormlands will be faster and more thorough.

Joffrey thought for a moment.

The map on the ground changed back to the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.

The Redwyne twins fell back into line.

Joffrey continued to draw lines on the map. Rainhouse City went south, then west, the line half-enclosed Cape Wrath, and went west deep inland.

Everyone follows the path of the line to see.

The first to pass was Greenstone Castle on Ismond Island, the family of the king's grandmother.

The next one is the Weeping Town of the Whitehead family. It is located on the south coast of Cape Wrath, adjacent to the Dorne Sea. It is the largest trading town in the Stormlands, rich and prosperous, and worthy of effort to occupy.

West of Weeping Town is Stonehelm, where the Crimson Mountains and Cape Wrath meet, and the castle guards the mouth of the Slane River.

Kingsguard Balon Swann came from House Swenn of Stonehelm.

Further west of Stonehelm is Lord Beric Dondarrion's Blackhaven, a military fortress guarding the Bone Road to Dorne.

To the west of Black Harbor City is the end of the route, which belongs to the Harvest Hall of the Selmy family.

"Ser Barristan."

Joffrey turned to Barristan Selmy, Captain of the Kingsguard at his side.

"All members of Earl Sanglas' Fourth Fleet, the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Regiments of the Guards will jointly operate, and you will be in command, sir."

The fruit of victory is a third of the Stormland.
