iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 18 Semi-military Farm
Bernard Brune of Dreadnest was squire to Lord Alyn Stokeworth, who had served as Hand of the King to Aegon I.

During the Battle of Ruby Shore in the Reaver's War, the Crabbes and Brunes of the Crabpaw Peninsula fought side by side for Prince Rhaegar Targaryen.

They are all model loyal ministers and confidantes of the Julong family.

The new Baratheon dynasty has been miserable, the hardest of the hardest.

........................

Located on a towering cliff, the thick gates of Dreadfort, which is more than 40 meters high, are closed tightly. Green decisively gave up his plan to storm and occupy.

Relying on conventional siege methods to capture a well-defended castle, Green felt that the price was too high.The road to hegemony cannot avoid siege warfare, and Green, who does not have a dragon, needs to prepare more unconventional means and methods of siege.

The current Green is unprepared for the siege of Dreadnest Fort. If he has a chance, he will get fat, and if he has no chance, he will give up decisively.

Green comforted himself that they were all poor lords, why should the poor embarrass the poor.

........................

"When someone dares to challenge you, you should resolutely respond with iron and blood. When they bow their knees, you must lift them up with your own hands, otherwise no one will submit to you."

Recalling the words in his memory, he said to Knight Mason, "Mason, I'll leave it to you next time. The ransom for the Brune family's captives will be paid according to the previous rules. For the sake of fighting side by side with Targaryen, I will bypass them once this time and warn them that there will be no next time."

Mason nodded in acceptance.

Green quietly ordered Knight Pell again: "The captives will be handed over to Emparo for escort, and your survey corps will stay to continue to attack the wildling tribes, especially the friendship with the Brunn family. They will destroy the tribe's resident as last time, and the population will be relocated. Kleber's old land needs a lot of farmers."

The semi-military farm planned by Green, Mason Knight will be in charge of implementing it in the newly recovered Kleber's old land.

In time Kleber's semi-military farmstead would cover all the arable land in the eastern part of the Crab Claw Peninsula.

"As you order, my lord."

Green nodded and hummed, and continued: "The savage tribe near Kleber's old place has been defeated by us. There will be no more fierce resistance, but I still ask you to be cautious in every battle. When you meet a good hunter, recruit the survey corps and recruit troops while attacking the savages. This is a rare opportunity for training."

Pell: "My lord, I will obey your orders. The Brunn family..."

Green shook the reins, and the horse under his crotch walked to the other side, and Knight Pell urged the horse to follow.

Green and Pell rode side by side: "Pell, when I communicate with you, I can always relax. Yes, although I lost this time, the Brunn family will not submit to me. For a period of time, there will be no forces that can threaten Kleiber in Kleiber's old land. We can digest the results of the battle. At the same time..."

"Except for the 20 horses I selected to take back, I will dispatch all the remaining horses to you. The Survey Corps needs speed even more."

Green turned his head and glanced at Dreadnest Fort again: "Kraiber's footsteps cannot be stopped. We need to keep looting to support the population of the new and old territories. We are expanding too fast, and the agricultural land cannot supply too many people."

"The only aristocrats who can cause us trouble in the Eastern Crab Claw Peninsula are the Brunn family. This is something I cannot tolerate. The owner of the Eastern Crab Claw Peninsula has only one Kleber."

"Mason will stay and be in charge of the development of the old land. I will order him to cooperate with your conquest. First, start with the wildling tribes that have made friends with the Brunn family. I want you to seal off the Brunn family and make it difficult for them to move forward until they surrender or disappear."

A smile appeared on Green's lips, and he patted Pell's shoulder: "I'm about to leave for King's Landing. I have no other means, so I can only rely on you. Fortunately, you are here. Your loyalty and ability have always been my most at ease."

"Knight Pell, for Kreb's honor."

Pell looked solemnly, put his palms on his chest, and bowed his head in salute: "My sharp sword will always serve you!"

........................

Monton Weir, with his big buckler on his back and his warhammer on his waist, was eating a smoked sausage.

Lena on the side said helplessly: "Meng Fat, don't you feel full? Why are you eating all the time?"

Monton Weishui replied naively: "Ah, I'm really hungry. I used to never have enough to eat, but now it's much better. Since I followed the adults, I'm no longer hungry."

Lena's beautiful eyes rolled a blank look at Monton: "You're still so fat even if you're not full!"

Monton Weishui scratched the back of his head: "Hey..."

Lena's eyes turned slightly slyly: "Meng Fat, you eat like this... If you eat too much, be careful to be punished by the lord."

Monton opened a pair of eyes that seemed to lack the brilliance of wisdom: "This... this... I know I have a big appetite, why don't I take the initiative to find the adults to confess the crime?"

Lena snorted first, and couldn't help laughing out loud holding her belly, which confused Monton even more.

Fortunately, Green's voice came over in time: "Monton, Reina was joking with you."

Green came over and patted the top of Reina's head: "He will take it seriously."

Lena cried out in pain and knelt down with her head in her hands, and Green looked at her palms calmly.

Monton suddenly complained loudly: "My lord! Reina is not in pain! She is faking it! I saw it! Just now she snickered! I saw it!"

Monton Weishui has a beast-like intuition. On the first day he joined Green's camp, he felt that the military regulations were closely related to his future.

For Monton Weshui, Green was the first person who didn't dislike his big appetite, and he was the one who no longer let him starve.

Monton Vishui kept chewing the food in his mouth, and he worked hard to memorize it by rote with his not-so-bright brain.

Just now, he was frightened by the cunning Lena for a while, but Monton Weishui finally realized that eating too much does not violate military regulations, so he naturally wanted to "revenge" him.

Monton Weshui jumped to expose ruthlessly, his big belly seemed to be heaving like a wave of flesh.

How did this guy become smarter?
Lena said miserably: "Master Green, I beg for forgiveness...I..."

Monton scratched his head, it seemed that revenge was too much?

Green waved his hand helplessly: "Go, get some more food for Monton, he will forgive you immediately."

........................

King's Landing, a corridor in the Red Keep.

Tyrion Lannister sat on the marble parapet at the edge of the corridor, his short legs dangling.

Tyrion held the wine glass that never left his hand, his face was red after drinking: "brother, think of something pleasant, you worry too much, sometimes I suspect that your love for my sister is not normal."

Still worried, James Lannister looked at Cersei's room again, heaved a long sigh, and sat on the railing, his handsome face still full of anger: "King Robert, he has forgotten what honor is, and I can't remember how many times he has been rough on Cersei."

Tyrion moved his butt closer to James, and reached out to pat James' arm: "You have to understand why I stopped you. If you get involved, the result will only get worse."

James rubbed his face with his hands helplessly: "Tyrion, you are always smart and sensible."

Tyrion's eyes were deep, and his tone was rare and serious: "The old lady always thinks that she is the Duke of Tywin who has a son, but in fact she is too far behind. Among other things, my father has always been as ruthless and calm as a big glacier, and Cersei is like a wildfire as long as she is emotional. Our king and queen are like two blazes. The slightest touch will burn even more."

James sighed deeply again: "I just want Cersei to live happily."
