Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 151 Advancing into Storm's End

"Ser Balon Swann."

Joffrey called out a member of the Kingsguard from the white expanse in the procession.

There are quite a few Kings Guards accompanying them this time.

"Appoint you as the consul of Stonehelm City, fight with the Fourth Fleet, appease the entire Swen family and the people, and persuade Earl Gulion Swen to return from his lost way."

Joffrey instructed gently: "Try not to bleed, neither side."

Burly Baron Swann had a loyal, brave, youthful face, and he bowed steadily with unexpected politeness and composure.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the accidental death of Sir Alex Oakheart, the Kingsguard, Balon Swann, who stayed at the Red Keep court to serve the royal family, took his place and became one of the Seven Ironguards.

After the Kingsguard expanded to 77 members, Baron Swann rose to the top and was promoted to the captain of the squadron, leading ten noble-born companions.

Although all good things.

But current events were changing so fast and so unexpectedly that Baron Swann was often at a loss.

He can only fulfill the duties of the Kingsguard, guarding, silent, and loyal.Only see with eyes and listen with ears, but never speak privately or express opinions unless the king asks.

Although the Kingsguard's career was short, he had learned a lot, understood a lot, and had more questions buried in his heart.

Now, he understands one more thing:

The reason why my father asked me to serve in the Red Castle probably had this intention.

Thinking of his elder brother Donnel serving in Renly's military tent, thinking of the naval guns and the Crusaders, Baron Swan didn't know whether to be happy or sigh.

He also has one more doubt:
Can the 77 Kingsguard satisfy the King?

Baron Swann's inner entanglement had no effect on the outside world, and the king's voice continued steadily and firmly.

"Lord Beric Dondarrion."

"Appoint you as the consul of Black Harbor City to appease the people, handle government affairs, and take care of the Dondarien family."

It sounds like a lot of work.

But that was what Joffrey was for, and more.

"From now on, half of the annual tax revenue will be allocated by the Dondarrion family at will, and the other half will be used for the needs of the consul and various managers."

"Other consuls follow suit."

The king's words immediately surprised everyone, another drastic change!
Everyone glanced at Beric Dondarrion. The Earl of Black Harbor had already served the king, but he still wanted to serve as the consul and split the tax revenue into two parts.

gods...

Even 11-year-old Richard Wilde tugged at his mother's sleeves.

Earl Beric Dondarrion was very firm, "The Dondarrion family will always be loyal to His Majesty. Your Majesty will never give up, and I will do my best to teach the people and take care of the land for Your Majesty."

Joffrey nodded in relief, "With Earl Bailey's loyalty and ability, I can rest assured."

Joffrey looked around, looked at everyone's respectful faces and said with a light smile, "Both loyal and capable people have their place."

Everyone acted thoughtfully.

"The Earl of Berry is loyal and capable, and he is specially appointed as the 'Consul for Life of Black Harbor City'. All the affairs of the territory will be managed by the consul until he finally resigns."

Beric Dondarrion saluted calmly and thanked him, "I will do my best to serve His Majesty."

Consul, consul for life.Beric Dondarrion could no longer imagine what kind of disturbance these two brand-new titles would cause in the future.

But at least, Black Harbor City can remain stable.

Can?Beric Dondarrion retreated to the queue and looked at the king, but couldn't see the real intention behind that smile.

Joffrey looked to the left.

"Ser Barristan, you are the commander in chief of this army and the lifelong consul of Harvest Hall."

Barristan Selmy looked serious, frowning, as if about to say something, but Joffrey stopped him with his hand.

"Sir, don't refuse. Your great contribution and outstanding ability are obvious to all in the kingdom. I believe that no one will be dissatisfied with letting you, a great knight, rule the Harvest Hall."

"Besides," Joffrey said, nodding the hexagram on the button of his cloak.

"With the light curtain of divine grace, it is absolutely possible to handle the affairs of the Harvest Hall in the Red Castle, without delaying the duties of the Kingsguard."

Barristan Selmy didn't know what else to say.Do you ask the king to let go of the rebellious Selmy family?
Harvest Hall.

I'm going to rule the Harvest Hall?

The memories of Barristan Selmy poured out uncontrollably.

When he was young, he gave up his inheritance rights to the Harvest Hall and her who made the marriage contract, and chose to join the Kingsguard.

The Selmy family was inherited by his cousin and continued.

for decades.

He won numerous honors and was called one of the greatest knights.

He made a glorious name, Barristan the Fearless, revered and told in tales.

He has no regrets about his choice.

But he also misses his family.The current patriarch Selmy wants to call him "uncle", but he wants to return to the Harvest Hall to rule the territory?

Should I say no?

Will the king agree?Or will another consul be appointed, who will it be?

There were many men present, but Barristan Selmy did not think any of them were qualified to run Harvest Hall and look after House Selmy.

In the end, he remained silent.

"Ser Barristan, here are your specific tasks." Joffrey pointed to the map in the hall.

The marching routes on the map are brighter.

"The Greenstone Fort on Ismond Island is near the sea. We should send warships to garrison and coordinate supplies. The Ismond family should not refuse."

The consequences of rejection are brutal.

"The Weeping Town of the Whitehead family has a prosperous trade and a wide port. Most of the Fourth Fleet is stationed here, transporting personnel, transporting supplies, supervising trade, and assisting operations."

The blip on the route then moves further west to Stonehelm.

"Stonehelm City is located at the mouth of the Slane River. Send warships up the river to make the Seventh Guards Regiment approach the inland Crow's Nest Castle and Misty Forest City."

The Seventh Order is led by Theon Greyjoy.

"The Eighth and Ninth Regiments, along with Sir Barristan and the Earl of Berry, marched westward to Black Harbor City and Harvest Hall to organize the territory and mobilize resources. They are preparing to attack Nightsong City in the south and Young Deer in the north, threatening Gao Court, monitor the rebels in Bitterbridge in the north and the intelligence of Green Valley City."

Everyone finally understood the king's plan.These territories are connected into an east-west line, dividing the Stormlands, isolating Dorne in the south, and piercing the Reach in the west.

Enemy on all sides.

But with the sharp blade of the Jihad Army, this is to penetrate directly into the heart of the enemy.

"Ser Davos Seaworth, Fifth Fleet and Sixth Regiment follow this route." A new route appeared on the map.

When Jon Snow heard of his Sixth Regiment, he looked at the map more carefully.

The route starts west from Rain House City, sails across the entire northern shore of Cape Wrath, and ends at Griffin's Roost.Combined with Sir Barristan's route, it just surrounded the entire Cape Wrath.

"Stationed along the way to the Amber City of the Rogers family, the castle of Sir Davos, and the Griffin's Nest of the Clinton family. Be sure to open up the transportation line, take over the castle, and then wait for orders at Griffin's Nest."

"Leave early in the morning."

"The rest of the ships and guards come with me." Joffrey stood up.

"Advance into Storm's End."
