Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 195 High Court
I really didn't see it, Renly is still a gambler.Joffrey sighed silently.

After knowing so many truths, he still had the delusional idea of ​​being able to turn the tables. He believed in Cortanay Penrose's words, and even believed in that plan.

It is a bit naive.

Now that the existence of magical power is known, has it not occurred to Cortanay Penrose that it will be influenced or controlled by similar power?

In fact it is.

Joffrey had been able to convince Cortnay Penrose in one night by more than just coercion.

Want to do everything with words alone?It's too arrogant.

Or magic is the most reliable and reassuring.

As long as Cortanai's heart shakes a little, the magic can continuously focus and enlarge his thoughts in one direction, and finally overwhelm other thoughts and make a decision for him.

This is normal.

Otherwise, how could Cortnay Penrose, who was so stubborn in the original book and refused to open Storm's End after Renly's death, be willing to deceive his lord?

It is difficult to force a person who is not afraid of death to do anything.

Perhaps it was also because he knew Cortanay's temperament that Renly believed so firmly.

Of course, it may be that you are so desperate that you have nowhere to go. Facing the only glimmer of victory, you have to choose to believe and firmly protect the last hope.

How can a person who is about to drown have the strength to distinguish whether he is grabbing a lifeline or a noose?
So did Renly.

Joffrey was sure that it was the noose that Renly was holding on to, a noose that was slowly shrinking.

When the time is right, the noose will be locked.

Any prey that Joffrey waited patiently would fall into the trap, too, and then it would be caught, cleanly.

"Sandor," he called the hunting dog, "for the past few days, let the people under your command be quiet, don't use artillery, only leave one regiment on the wall for defense, and the others stay in the city obediently, don't be caught Found outside the city."

The hunting dog grinned, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand, it's just acting, everyone is very proficient."

The hunting dog patted his chest, "I promise that the rebels will not see our details. Even if they attack the city for days, we must only use ordinary army methods to defend the city, and we will never use magic!"

Joffrey nodded, "Also, don't forget to release some ravens every day, and make sure they are shot down by the rebels."

The Hound asked again, "The contents of the letter..."

Joffrey shook his head, "Do I still need to teach you this? You know the plan. It's nothing more than empty defenses, power exhaustion, increased magical effects of Storm's End, invalid spells, and requests for a ship to respond. Information."

Joffrey stood up and walked towards the window, "Anyway, just let my Uncle Renly, who is not willing to fail, calm down."

Give a reason, and people will lie to themselves.

Joffrey looked out.

The surface of the sea is a bright and fresh blue, with little white waves rolling.

Not a single ship was to be seen.

Cortanay Penrose gave Renly a somewhat reasonable and awkward explanation:
"Joffrey tried to create an illusion of confidence, so that he could restrain the coalition forces outside the city, hesitated how to leave safely, and dared not attack the city rashly.

then.

He would then be able to dispatch a large number of troops to attack the northern territory of Stormland, completely encircling the coalition forces around Fallen Wood City.

So Joffrey showed his confidence by sending all his ships, and cutting off the retreat himself. "

Renly probably believed it.

Those princes and generals believed it at least on the surface.

Will count.

No one questioned Cortnay Penrose's plan anymore.After all, Renly himself had already agreed, and the others had nothing to say.

The plan went well.

The crows accompanying the army have been released back to their nests, and it is expected that Fallen Wood City will receive the news tomorrow.

Joffrey was looking forward to it.

The Duke of Mace Tyrell and more than [-] troops are stationed in Luomucheng, and there are many lords or knights in the Reach and Stormlands.

As soon as Renly's order came, at least half of the people would come to Storm's End.

Hundreds of families, one-third of the Seven Kingdoms.

Storm's End will be surrounded, the purpose is to take down the King Joffrey and seize the Iron Throne.

A life-and-death war.

At that time, you will be able to reap the fruits of victory in a legitimate and maximized manner.

Who can complain that the king's methods are unkind?
After this battle, both the Reach and the Stormlands will become the royal family's basic territory, and the overall situation of the Seven Kingdoms has been determined.

Joffrey couldn't help thinking of a happy trouble: 77 Kingsguard seems to be not enough points soon, should it be increased to 770 seven?
There are more than 30 vacancies. The River Bend alone can fill up the vacancies, and there are still many left.

It is indeed the most fertile land in the Seven Kingdoms.

high court.

"What a busy day, an important day for the Seven Kingdoms."

He was inexplicably emotional.

The hunting dog didn't understand what he was listening to, but he just vaguely felt that it was not a bad thing.

Joffrey sat back on his throne.

"I have something to do outside, take care of my body and don't let people disturb me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Hound closed the doors and windows familiarly and arranged for guards.

This is not the first time.

The so-called "prosthetic body" is good everywhere, but it is difficult to use it at the same time.The Hound had seen Joffrey try to manipulate two bodies at the same time, and although he was able to do so, he was obviously not as vigorous as usual.

Therefore, unless it was an emergency, Joffrey would only focus on one most important place.

Today, this place is Highgarden.

……

When he opened his eyes again, what Joffrey saw was already a shaking carriage, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of plants and a faint fragrance of flowers.

He raised the curtain.

As far as the eye can see is a whole piece of green fields and hills, dotted with red, gold, purple, and white roses, full of vitality and beauty.

The guard troops walking in a long line in the middle of the scene are actually a big spoiler.

Nature and violence, stark contrast.

Joffrey got out of the carriage, "Excuse me, everyone, let's concentrate on our journey. I can't wait to see how charming the beautiful Highgarden is."

"Fearless" Barristan, Loras and others stood up silently.

Joffrey looked west.

The white and majestic castle occupies the entire hill, and the two connected avenues are lined with chariots and horses. The wide river below flows slowly, nourishing the vast green land.

The castle has three white ring walls.

The bottom wall surrounds the entire foot of the mountain.

Between it and the second city wall there is verdure, a carefully curated labyrinth of plants for entertainment and entertainment.Of course, enemies will also lose their way in this maze and fall into traps.

The last wall is the tallest and thickest.

Between the three city walls stood slender and elegant round towers.

This is High Court.

It's really beautiful, with a quiet beauty.

It's a pity that now it has sounded a shrill horn, and an army of evil is pouring out of it.
