Chapter 249 Lost and Gained

Garland examines this so-called "central province."

The Ring City of the Rockton Family, Tengshi Town of the Fudley Family, Blacksmith Village of the Shemo Family, Evergreen Hall of the Kaidewei Family, Bitter Bridge of the Caswell Family, Green Valley City of the Meidou Family...

Almost a quarter of the Reach was taken!

It doesn't stop there.

Garland continued to search the map and found more differences from the king's planned future kingdom.

The Ashford of the Cenford family and the Star Shuttle city of the Peake family were placed under the control of Summer Hall in the frontier, and the northern fortress of Dorne was also included in the frontier.

The city of Ancient Oak was dyed red in the west, and the northern border of the Reach was also eroded by red.

The Shield Islands turned golden.

The light curtain gave a timely reminder: the Shield Islands have been listed as a directly governed area, and a lower-level "second-class consul" will be set up, but they will not be under the jurisdiction of the first-class consul, but only under the orders of the king and the court.

Directly under the Central Government

Garland scanned the entire map, and sure enough, he saw a few prominent gold spots: Fairy Isle in the West, Dragonstone Isle in the Kingland, Tarth Isle in the Stormlands, Harrenhal in the Riverlands, the Three Sisters Islands in the Valley, and many more. Grace City of Grace.

Both are strategic locations and transportation hubs.

With just one map, Garland had a clear glimpse of King Joffrey's great ambitions.

All of the Seven Kingdoms!
Leaving aside other places, are the fortresses and cities of Dorne so easy to get?

There must be a battle!
But he woke up quickly.Maybe this is what King Joffrey wants!Defeat Dorne!Show off your might with bigger victories!

Are you still not satisfied? !
Garland's heart churned violently, and thinking of the huge loss Gao Ting would suffer on the map, he was about to question him immediately.

But noticing that his grandmother was still silent, Garland had no choice but to resist his urge.

After calming down, Garland also remembered the current situation.

Highgarden had no choice left.Garland had to face reality.

Now that the lives of the entire family are at the mercy of King Joffrey, how can they care about any loss?
Besides, the king only asked Loras, the current "Governor" of Highgarden.

Garland then observed silently.

The little brother Loras's face was changing, and he opened his mouth to speak several times, but he still didn't make a sound.In any case, Garland doesn't blame him.

The eldest brother Vilas closed his eyes with his grandmother.

The little sister who was most wronged at the moment, Margaery, was leaning on the man's arms, her eyes were lifeless, and her face remained unchanged, as if her soul had left her body and was playing elsewhere.Garland looked away, dazed.

In this way, the silence lasted for a full quarter of an hour.

King Joffrey finally broke the deadlock with a smile: "Is there really no objection?" The king still looked at Loras.

Loras shook his head stiffly.

The king turned to this side, and the seemingly substantial sight made Garland feel restless, so he gritted his teeth and remained silent.

"As expected of the golden rose that has dominated the High Court for 300 years, with such a wise leader who knows how to make choices, why not be able to prosper?" The king seemed to be sincerely admiring it.

Then the king reached out and clicked on the map.

Garland stared intently, and there was a slight change on the map: Most of the existing areas of the Reach lost the names and introductions of the fiefdom families.

"The traitors can't deal with it too much. These lands can be deprived, whether they are divided into fiefs, and whoever they are entrusted to. As long as the high court asks, I will never refuse." The king said generously.

Garland couldn't help looking at the map.

Even if the vassals and lords who have always been closely integrated with the family are removed, the land that can be selected is almost the same as the current fiefdom of Gaoting.

good chance!
Anyway, it can make up for some losses!
Garland looked at his eldest brother, Vilas, who was looking at his grandmother, who also opened his eyes.

"If the High Court offers the right to dispose of these traitors' lands, can His Majesty take back the redesignation of Bitterbridge, Horn Hill and the Shield Islands?" Grandma asked in a deep voice.

Garland was startled immediately.Is grandma in a hurry?How could he agree? !
As expected, the king shook his head: "One yard is equal to one yard. The kingdom's regional redesignation plan concerns the overall situation and cannot be changed easily. Besides, this is not a punishment for the High Court, and there is no pardon or exchange."

Isn't this punishment?Garland thought to himself.

"Why is Mrs. Olenna so entangled?" The king persuaded again: "They betrayed the lord, and Gaoting has no obligation to protect these guys everywhere. In comparison, Gaoting's own safety and interests are the most important ah."

Indeed, the land lay ahead.

Grandmother didn't insist anymore: "Vilas, you choose."

Grandma closed her eyes again.

The eldest brother Vilas thought for a long time before finally reporting his opinion to the king.

Then the writing appeared on the map.

Garland saw many familiar names again: Lady Bethany Redwyne of Golden Tree City, Lady Alice Grafford of Saint Hall Town, Earl Crane of Red Lake...

Most importantly, Sir Jon Fossoway of New Barrel City, his fiefdom has not changed.

Garland was still relieved.At least the wife's family was preserved.As for other lords, I can only say sorry.

He continued to observe.

There is more than one name that has been forgotten by the new map: Lord Orton Merryweather of the Long Table Hall, Lord Appleton of Appletown, Lord Fossoway of the "Red Apple" Cider Hall, and Lady Webber of Coldmoat , Earl Osgrey of the Standing Tower...

Um?The Webb family?

Garland also had some impressions that the Viscountess "Red Widow" Rohanie Webb of Coldmoat Castle decades ago seemed to be King Joffrey's great-great-grandmother.

Grandma and Vilas both forgot?Or is it intentional?

Garland glanced at King Joffrey, but saw nothing unusual.Probably the king forgot about this relationship, or, never remembered.

In short, the Viber family disappeared from the map, along with many families.

Garland looked carefully at the map again.

The grass green representing High Court has expanded a lot to the east and north.

The Rowan family, the overlords in the north of the Reach, only had a small piece of land near Golden Tree City, and the other large pieces of land were dyed the color of Tyrell.

Adding up the green everywhere, it finally has more land than the Hightower family.

Although by annexing vassals.

For a moment, Garland didn't know whether he was more happy or sad.

High Court has lost a lot.

Gao Ting also got a lot, even more than what he got in a big victory in the past.

The fiefdom of the Rowan family alone is enough to make Gao Ting deeply tempted and take risks, not to mention that it can be done with almost no effort now.

Just bear some notoriety.

Garland looked at his elder brother and then at his grandmother, as if he understood something.

Since you can't resist, then do your best to do what you should do and strive for the best results. After all, you will be worthy of your heart.

Woo--~~
The siren stopped abruptly, and the reverberation slowly dissipated.

Garland looked up at the shore. The soldiers of the Guards were all lined up and marched towards the barracks in order.

"Garland Consul," Robert Royce walked towards Garland after saying goodbye to Earl Velerian, "It's time for us to go ashore. Lord Tywin ordered that the army discuss with the camp and determine the attack plan."

Garland smiled relievedly: "I can't wait..."

Lord Tywin's camp...
