iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 265 Green’s decree

Sha~~ The list in Sha's hand was turned to the next chapter by Green. He lowered his eyes and read for a while, but he frowned slightly.

With his eyes closed, he tapped his knees with his fingers. After a pause, Green said, "Go and ask for Baron Greven."

After giving instructions to the waiter, Green left his chair and walked down the stairs, followed closely by the tall Brienne.

Green said as he walked: "Brenne, Stannis was defeated. Although he withdrew to Dragonstone, he lost most of his troops."

Lord Green received a letter from King's Landing's raven. The content... in summary is that the great Tywin Lannister defeated the evil Stannis in one fell swoop. There is nothing about Tyrion's contribution in the battle to defend King's Landing. mentioned.

As Tyrion's reliable ally, Green naturally felt sad for him.

Why did Lord Tywin do this? There will be various reasons, but the main reason is for his heir, Jaime Lannister.

When Jaime was captured by Robb Stark, like most of the lords of the Seven Kingdoms, Duke Tywin would never allow his second son's fame to become more popular than his heir, let alone Tyrion. He was still the dwarf son who disgusted him endlessly.

To Lord Tywin, the fact that the noble blood of Lannister was flowing through a dwarf was something of a shame in itself.

…………

Arriving in front of the marble wall hanging the map of the Seven Kingdoms, Green stared at the location of Dragonstone and said: "After the Battle of the Blackwater River, Stannis's fleet was severely damaged and could no longer protect Dragonstone where he was. Lannis We won’t even give him a chance to breathe.”

He stretched out his finger and pointed at the location of King's Landing, and then said: "Stannis has no allies. It can be said that... he has lost the qualification to compete for the Iron Throne."

Brienne looked at Green and said, "My lord, do you think Stannis will defend Dragonstone?"

Green shook his head slightly and said: "Stannis is as hard as iron. He will not choose to sit still and wait for death. He will leave Dragonstone before the Lannister besieges him."

"My lord, where else could Stannis go?"

Where can I go? If it were him, he would have immediately sought an alliance with the proclaimed king, Robb Stark, as they had a common enemy.

But...in the eyes of Stannis, Robb Stark also cannot forgive traitors.

With Stannis's character, even if he died, he would never join forces with the traitors.

This is Stannis Baratheon.

…………

Green's eyes raised slightly, and his gaze moved to the location of the Great Wall of the North.

After being silent for a while, he said, "Maybe we will meet in the ice and snow."

Green looked at the "beauty" and said, "Brenne, do you want to be my knight of the Blood Gate?"

As soon as his voice fell, Brienne immediately shook her head. She seemed a little panicked: "Sir, my duty is to protect you. I... I will not be afraid of sacrifice. Please believe me."

Green reached out and patted Brienne's thick arm and said, "I will choose a new candidate for the Blood Gate Knight."

After a pause, he added: "This is a promotion. I'm not dissatisfied with your performance, Brienne."

Hearing this, Brienne showed an innocent smile like a child: "I will work harder, I promise."

Green smiled, paused, and suddenly said: "I heard that you only picked a pair of horse armor?"

Brienne nodded and said: "My armor was specially made for me by my father (Chapter 91). I like it, my lord."

Green smiled and said: "As my guard, your equipment can be replenished by the quartermaster of the guard at any time. It is also your duty to arm yourself well, Brienne."

"Yes, my lord."

Lord Greene's warehouse is filled with countless armors, makai, and various weapons. The Kleb soldiers in the valley are changing their equipment according to actual needs, and his guards and clan soldiers are the first batch.

Green was walking around casually in the spacious hall. He looked around and said, "Brenne, what does the Eagle's Nest feel like to you?"

Brienne's clear blue eyes looked around and said, "My lord, this place is very luxurious."

She looked back: "Also...it's very windy and cold. Also, it's very difficult to break through."

"That's a good summary." Green couldn't help laughing.

He added: "Brenne, do you think this is a suitable place to raise a dragon?"

"Dragon?" Brienne blinked. "Well, dragons, three dragons."

…………

The waiter came to report: "Lord Green, Baron Grevan has arrived."

…………

In the study, a roaring flame burns in the fireplace, bringing warmth and light to the room.

There was a hint of fatigue in Baron Greven's voice: "Aelin...the territory directly under the Eagle's Nest City (mainly referring to the southern region of the valley occupied by Kleib)...the three-year tax-free decree will be conveyed to the people within the next month. Each of your new subjects."

Green stared at the dancing flames in the fireplace and tapped his chin.

Baron Grevan glanced at his lord, and continued: "At the same time, the news of holding the Gate of the Moon Tournament in one year will also be sent out together."

Seeing that Greven was hesitant to speak, Green first signaled the waiter to pour the wine. After the wine was poured, he slowly said: "Griven, the tournament is not the key."

He took a sip of Summer Red and continued: "As far as I know, almost everyone in the valley has a dream of becoming a knight, and becoming a knight can also be said to be a tradition in the valley.

But... if you want to become a knight, it is not enough to have the combat skills and equestrian skills of a knight. You also need to have a full set of knight equipment. This has actually blocked most people's dream of knighthood. "

He took another sip of wine and said: "I heard that many knight attendants in the valley, although they are qualified to be canonized as knights, have to refuse to become knights because they do not have the golden dragon required to be canonized as knights."

He looked at Baron Greven: "As the new ruler of the valley, I just use the name of holding a martial arts tournament to help those who have the ability but have been delayed by the golden dragon, and they will be the new knights of the valley in the future. ."

Green raised his hand to signal Baron Grevan, who was standing there, to drink, and said: "They can be the children of farmers and craftsmen, the children of businessmen, or even wanderers. I only value their abilities. Are they willing to do it for me?" I fight."

The corners of his mouth raised slightly: "What I welcome most are descendants of valley nobles like Rean (Grevan's eldest son)."

After a pause, Green continued: "Whether it is a village or a town, for those who pass the assessment and are qualified to participate in the tournament, armor, weapons, horses, etc.... I will support them free of charge and grant them the title of trainee knight. "

Baron Greven opened his mouth and said, "A trainee knight?"

Green tapped his chin and explained: "You can think of them as high-level mercenaries who are only hired by Kleb. They need to swear allegiance to me and will only fight for me. In the future, the new knights of 'Green Valley' and will be born among them.”

Baron Greven suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said as calmly as possible: "Lord Green, please allow me to praise you. You are a kind and generous prince. God bless you."

With a change of tone, he carefully expressed his worries: "However, I still want to suggest that you delay your kindness and generosity. It is easy for the people of the valley who miss the Aylin family to misunderstand your kindness. I am even worried that They will refuse to participate in the assessment of the tournament."

Green said: "Are you worried that someone with bad intentions will ruin my plan?"

Baron Grevan nodded solemnly.

There was a moment of silence, and then Green's deep voice sounded: "Grevan."

When Lord Feng called him, Baron Grevan looked over. When he met Green's sharp gaze, he couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.

Green's calm voice seemed to carry the cold wind of winter: "You must learn to be a vassal of the Kleb family as soon as possible."

"Sir...sir..."

"Miss the Aylin family? Are you destroying my decree?"

After muttering, Green regained his gentle expression, stared at Baron Greven with a pair of brown eyes, and said: "If I open the gate of the Blood Gate and allow the mountain tribes to enter the valley... then, Will the people of the valley miss Kleb? Will they regret breaking my decree?"

The Alpine Clan Tribe is a savage tribe living at the foot of the Mingyue Mountains in the valley. The formation of these clan tribes originated from the period when the Andals invaded the valley. Those ancestors who did not want to submit to the Andals fled into the Mingyue Mountains and multiplied in the mountains and forests. Tribes were formed. Therefore, they have retained many of the traditions of their ancestors and have similar customs to the savages outside the Great Wall - raiding and disobedience.

They mainly rely on hunting and raiding valley villages for a living. Rumor has it that... if the Duke of the Eyrie himself does not have an escort, they will still attack.

…………

Hearing the hypothesis from Green's mouth, Baron Grevan suddenly broke out in thin cold sweat on his back. He had been having a smooth ride these past few days... He could only tremble his lips at this time.

Green reached out and patted Baron Greven's arm. His voice seemed to be comforting: "Gliven, I value the Hershey family very much. Don't let me down."

Baron Greven finally found his voice, and with a somewhat flattering smile on his face, he said: "My lord, the Heshe family will never disappoint you, I promise."

Green smiled gently and said, "Well, I believe you. Do your best. I think the title Earl Hessey is more pleasant. I will wait for you."

　I'm too busy. Dear gentlemen, please wait for me to take a moment. TT
