Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 250 Under the Ancient Oak City
"The Archon of the Ancient Oak City has arrived~~" The young knight wearing the wild boar coat of arms deliberately called Garland aloud.

For an instant.

Dozens of people in the tent looked at Garlan Tyrell who had just entered.

Garland stepped forward silently.

According to the king's arrangement, the ancient oak city has been placed under the administration of the western region, and the consul in Garland happens to be the subordinate of Duke Tywin.

All eyes were fixed on him.

Garland walked up to Duke Tywin's case and knelt down on one knee: "See Lord Duke, Garland and the ancient oak city respectfully ask for instructions from the lord."

Duke Tywin said earnestly, "Garland Consul, please get up."

Garland then got up, looked around a little, and stood in the dense queue, not far nor close to Duke Tywin.

People's eyes gradually diverged from him.

No one spoke, and the camp was very quiet.

From time to time, someone would come in from the outside, but they would just silently salute Duke Tywin and the other lords, and then stand on their own seats, waiting for the meeting to start.

Garland observed silently.

Lord Roland Crakehall, Earl of Crake Hall, stood first to the left of Lord Tywin.Behind him were three knights about Garland's own age, obviously bringing all three sons with him.

Dark brown background, black and white wild boar.Looking at the coat of arms on their armor, Garland couldn't help thinking of the knight at the gate of the camp.

The knight only called him "The Consul of the Ancient Oak City", and refused to add his name.

Lord Tywin also called him "Garlan Archon".

Garland understood what it meant.Here, he can only be Tywin Lannister's subordinate, the governor of the ancient Oak City, and the target of revenge for the newborn souls.

Even if he himself may not be stained with a drop of blood.

Looking around, I don't know how many people are willing to clean up the stubbornness and hidden dangers for him, and sort out the ancient Oak City.

Almost all of them are famous families in the western region.

Directly opposite Garland, the knight was wearing white armor, with a golden longbow engraved on the breastplate.This is the Yu family, whose ancient lineage can be traced back to Oak Alan, the "blind archer" in the Age of Heroes.Archers are still abundant today, with extraordinary skills.

In front of the golden longbow is a man in a black hood.

The Banfort family of the scourge, once inherited the throne of the "King of the Hood", ended at the hands of the first king of Casterly Rock "Lion" Lorien.

Although they lost their kingdom and throne, the Banfort family in the fort is still prosperous and powerful to this day.

And the peacock with its tail, House Saliott of Silver Mountain; the White Badger, House Leighton of Deep Cavern; the Crimson Bull, House Prester of Feastfire; the White Shell, House Westerling of Crag. ...

All the prominent families from the west, south, and center of the West were present, including the purple unicorn, the Brax family of Horned Valley City.

There were seven or eight young people standing behind Earl Andros Brax, as if the entire family had already poured out.

Besides.

Next to the unicorn is the orange-gold Burning Tree, House Marbran of Branded.

Earl Damon Marbrand did not bring his heir, but Garland knew that Adam Marbrand had already demonstrated his "talent" in Tengshi Town.

Although most of the cavalry that attacked Tengshi Town at night were led by nobles from the valley and the river.

However, Adam Marbrand and other generals also participated in the entire process of formulating tactics and planning the march of troops, and successfully completed the task of clearing sentries and scouts, and their achievements were no worse than those of the northern countries.

What's more, many of those people have died.

Died by daggers, blades, spears, bows and arrows issued from nowhere in the darkness.

Garland looked around and saw several green bows and arrows. The Sarsfield family of Sarsfield obviously brought many elite archers.

For many years, bows and arrows have been indispensable battlefield weapons for both field battles and city defense.

The superior side uses bows and arrows to shoot long distances to reduce losses and detect the enemy's situation.The weaker side uses this to ambush forces and turn the tide of battle.

For all soldiers, the rain of bows and arrows is a terrible nightmare.

But, today, are bows and arrows still useful?
Garland looked at the three Hexagram fighters gathered together.The king's bodyguard, but the three faces were very ordinary, and Garland didn't recognize any of them.

How will Ancient Oak City be taken?How much resentment will I bear?

The tent was as quiet as ever, and people gradually filled the space.Garland only felt that he was surrounded by an army, alone, waiting for a harsh trial.

Hu~hu~
A sound of breathing was getting closer and closer from behind. Garland turned his head sharply and saw Sir Robert Royce who came in one step ahead of him.

Sir Robert Royce smiled at him.

Hey~
Garland opened the light curtain intently, and a message came from Robert Royce.

Garland then knew:

Duke Tywin's [-] troops were not waiting outside the ancient oak city empty.

In the past few days, a team of [-] scouts has spread over a large area between the ancient oak city and the golden tree city. They have ascertained military intelligence everywhere and prepared for the next move.

Ancient Oak City is not as peaceful as it appears on the surface.

The day before the siege, the city of Ancient Oak had received news that King Joffrey's guards had safely entered Highgarden, so they canceled their plan for a decisive battle in the wild, and instead withdrew their troops into the city, waiting for surrender.

However, Duke Tywin led the army to surround the ancient oak city, did not ask for any peace talks, and shot down every letter crow sent and received by the ancient oak city.

Therefore, the ancient oak city became an ignorant lonely city.

It didn't take long for the lord and the knights to become panicked, and the atmosphere was oppressive.

Rumors abounded in the city.

There are many people who speculate in horror: Highgarden has been destroyed by King Joffrey, and the Westlands will take the whole Reach, and no one will be spared!
Someone was lucky: maybe King Joffrey wanted to accept the surrender of the ancient oak city himself, so he let the army outside wait.Maybe the king is coming soon, just wait patiently.

Some people are decadent and depraved: while the city is still stable and the reserves are sufficient, it is better to enjoy the present first, as for the future, let's talk about it later.

There are others...

In any case, the common hope is that the surrender will be successful.

The commander of the coalition forces, Count Matus Rowan, sent troops out of the city every day for peace talks and to inquire about news, but they were all detained by Duke Tywin, and no one returned.

The lord of the ancient oak city, Mrs. Egwen Oakheart, has a relatively tough attitude and proposes to go out of the city to fight.

She has a good reason: if she wins, she will just show her strength and win Duke Tywin's attention and concession.If it fails, take advantage of the situation to end the confrontation, kneel and obey, and don't believe that the other party disagrees.

Sounds good, but many Jazz are still hesitant.After all, there are risks.Why risk your life for a war that has already failed?
Lord Matus Rowan remained silent, and the matter was left alone.

It's been going on until today.

King Joffrey's fleet appeared from the sea, and the golden rose of Highgarden was among the troops that landed from the ships.

Duke Tywin finally sent a letter:

"By His Majesty's order, Garlan Tyrell will be the second-class consul of Ancient Oak City from now on, with full authority to handle the administrative affairs of Ancient Oak City and its territories. .”

"Garland Consul," Duke Tywin put down the paperwork in his hand, "Are you clear?"

Garland knelt again: "Yes, my lord."

"Then, the meeting begins."
