Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 251 The Order of the Consul
The sun was shining brightly, and the spacious tent was still bright and warm, as if emitting golden light.

All the participants stood up straight.

"Neither the Rowan family nor the Oakheart family will obey, even if this is the price they should have paid."

Ser Stafford Lannister spoke first.

Everyone looked at Steve.

He is not only the cousin of Duke Tywin, but also the younger brother of the Duke's beloved late wife, Mrs. Joanna, so he has gained a lot of tolerance on weekdays, and his speech is not as restrained as others.

"To do His Majesty's will," continued Ser Stafford Lannister, "there must be no mercy for rebels!"

"Naturally," said Stafford's son Ser Davon Lannister.

"The question is how best to do it?"

Garland faintly felt a few eyes glance at him, as if they wanted him to speak.But Garland didn't speak.The meeting has just begun, and it is not yet time.

"With His Majesty's grace and might," Ser Davon Lannister looked at the three guards, "Of course the Ancient Oak City has absolutely no resistance, and we can succeed at any time..."

"That's right!" Sir Robert Royce said confidently.

"With just one military order, His Majesty's Tenth Regiment can win for our army, and it will only destroy the gates, leaving the castle intact!" Sir Robert Royce gestured to Garland with a smile.

Garland had no choice but to return a friendly smile.

"That's not the point." Harris Swyfer, the knight of Corn City, retorted: "The trouble is not the victory or loss of the battle, but the impact after the war. We must not damage your majesty's reputation."

Garland looked at the man.The wrinkled old man seemed to have exposed the real intention of the meeting, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or not.

There was a little commotion in the tent because of these words.

"How could it damage His Majesty's reputation!?" Damon Marbrand, Earl of Brand City, asked fiercely, "It's just a reasonable punishment for a few traitors. Which good family would criticize His Majesty for this?!"

"I think so too."

"Yes, yes, what does this have to do with His Majesty?"

"That's true."

"..." For a while, many people echoed.

"Of course we won't." The Earl of Crake Hall, Roland Kreher, snorted a few times, and reminded him with deep meaning: "But don't forget, whose territory we are stepping on, and whose land the farmers have given us for generations. Pay your taxes, which castle you praise and adore."

As soon as the words fell, dozens of hundreds of eyes looked at Garland either explicitly or secretly.Garlan of Highgarden.

Garland's face remained calm.

"Anyway, the people still respect the king." Count Quantum Banfort, the Earl of Calamity, said to ease the atmosphere, "As long as you carefully discern, be more tolerant to the soldiers and people who are coerced by ambitious people, and govern fairly in the future, The people will really accept it."

Govern with fairness.Of course Garland would.

"But we can't let go of any true traitors!" Androth Brax, the Earl of Horn Valley City, declared sharply: "It's not just the Rowan and Oakheart families. On the land where the scouts pass by, our army is not allowed to enter. There are more than half of the castles! Obviously they are full of hostility!"

"That's right! They scolded very badly."

"Even if the scouts sent out are all large teams of more than 100 people, there have been more than one casualties so far."

"Although the small villages and towns dare not refuse, many of the supplies provided were deliberately damaged."

Earl Brax's sons provide strong evidence.

Garland couldn't believe it all.

It is normal for the castles to guard against death.but other...

How could a weak castle and powerless commoners rebel against the king's army for no reason?Unless you have to.

Garland looked at Earl Brax, was it a lie or a murder?
"In any case, His Majesty has ordered us to take down the ancient Oak City, just today." The Earl of Deep Cavern City, Lyns Layton, reminded, "Besides, the food and supplies that continue to be brought in cannot be left in the wilderness all the time. .” He was in charge of the army’s supplies.

"Discuss the matter of Ancient Oak City first," Earl Saliot of Silver Mountain City agreed, "It won't be too late to talk about other places after we enter the city."

"Your Grace wants us to take back the Old Oak and the Golden Tree," Ser Davon Lannister said.

"The question now is, how to deal with the Rowan and Oakheart clansmen? How to deal with the other traitors? Keep them all, or impose the death penalty on the culprit?"

There is no implicated option.Garland knew that the result must be this.

"The descendant will not be killed." The voice of Duke Tywin.

The tent fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked at Duke Tywin on the main seat.

"The peace terms of the rebels are unacceptable," said Duke Tywin. "We will launch an attack. But this is not a massacre. The gods are merciful, and anyone who can be sure that he has surrendered sincerely can spare his life."

No one objected.

Garland certainly wouldn't either.He just chewed on Duke Tywin's words silently.Sincerely...surrender.What is sincerity?How to determine?Who determines it?

Obviously this is not true forgiveness.

And Garland was far from the only one who understood.The smile on Lord Brax's face proved that he was one of them, as did Lord Crakehall...

The attitude of the lords in the southern part of the Westlands is mostly tougher.

Garland had seen King Joffrey's map, and knew why.Those Westland lords near the Reach's territories stand the best chance of profiting.

The long bright red strip added to the new map doesn't seem to be conspicuous.

But it represents the hundreds of villages and towns, dozens of castles and endless fields under the jurisdiction of the Reach.

These will become the ownership of the western region, and then given to the knights or soldiers who have made contributions in the war, and more shares will belong to these nearby loyal lords.

Sweet fruit.

And if you want to accept these rewards with peace of mind and stop worrying about being taken away all day long, the best way is naturally - to completely destroy the original owner.

Ancient Oak City and Golden Tree City are huge threats.

The more prominent and powerful the Oakheart and Rowan families were, the more jealous and worrying they were at this time.

The more people want to kill them all.

Garland looked at the only Duke Tywin sitting.Horrible things like genocide have never been tolerated by nobles, but this proud lion king is different, he will readily allow it.

"The Rains of Castamere" is more than a ballad of terror, it is Lord Tywin's determination.

For any offense, disrespect and covetousness, Duke Tywin will respond with the most cruel and thorough force, staining the Lannister banner and emblem with blood.

High Court escaped unharmed.Ancient Oak City and Golden Tree City were not forgiven.

……

After setting the tone, the war meeting quickly reached a consensus: the tenth regiment of the Guards will be the vanguard, and the army and artillery units will read out the decree to defeat the rebels in one fell swoop.

Only the final resolution remains.

Duke Tywin stood up: "Consul Garland, the Ancient Oak City has been decided by you, and this battle is the same. What is your decision?"

Everyone looked at Garland, waiting for the consul's order.

What else can Garland do?

"Just do it like this." Garland even sat down in Duke Tywin's original seat provocatively.

Duke Tywin was not dissatisfied.

Garland sighed silently, calmed down, and stood up again, "Act immediately. I will read His Majesty's will in person."
