Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 167 166. Vassals

Everyone knows the road conditions in King's Landing, and James's expensive leather outfit has been completely ruined by rolling around on the ground.

But several of you here have been on the battlefield. On the battlefield, your stomach and intestines were cut open, and the excrement from people and horses mixed with blood on the field. Shouldn't it be the same as cutting or cutting, beating or beating?

People who have seen the battlefield are still disgusted by these things, but they no longer feel physiological nausea.

"Kingslayer, you are a disgrace to White Sword Tower."

Barristan gritted his teeth and said disappointedly.

The White Sword Tower is the residence of the Kingsguard in the Red Keep. It can be said to be a symbol of the chivalry of the Seven Kingdoms.

And Jaime Lannister committed adultery and incest with the wife of the man he swore allegiance to. This made Barristan, an old man, feel that the world had become absurd.

The backbone was captured, and all Lannister soldiers were quickly disarmed.

Lann and Eddard originally thought that Robert would take action against Jaime to vent his anger. But this time the king didn't even look at him and had people escort him off.

After capturing the Lannister, the most mobile, powerful and highest-status Lannister in King's Landing, Robert just walked around the Red Keep and issued orders, and then he could put Cersei and the crown princes under house arrest.

Cersei didn't even realize what was happening until she was placed under house arrest.

He was still yelling and scolding the king for disregarding the stability of the kingdom and trampling on the dignity of Lannister for the sake of his good brother.

She thought the main reason for this was Tyrion's kidnapping.

Lan En's eyes were calm and unruffled when the blonde beauty was dragged to the top of the tower and imprisoned.

In political struggles, people without wisdom, insight and intelligence will not even know how they failed.

Cersei is the queen, but right now, any maid in the Red Keep will know what's going on better than she does.

After all the Lannister in the city were captured, Eddard and Lan saw a somewhat tired, but also somewhat excited Robert on the Iron Throne.

"I always have a dream, man."

Sitting on a ferocious throne made of thousands of swords, Robert Baratheon's words were as if he was talking in a dream.

"I always dreamed of giving up the throne, riding a horse with a warhammer, taking a ship to the Free Trade City to be a mercenary king, fighting adventures, singing and dancing in brothels, that's what life is. But when I think about Joffrey inheriting the throne, With Cersei and all the Lannisters hanging around him, I had to give up on that idea."

"That little beast once cut open the belly of a pregnant female cat alive when he was still young, just to see what the kitten's embryo looked like."

"To be honest, knowing that he is not my son, I even feel a little relieved. At least..." Robert laughed at himself. "Hey, at least he's not the gods' punishment for starting a war on me."

No one answered in the empty throne room.

Ed is not good at comforting others, and Lan En has no position to comfort others.

"Okay, let's not say that much." Robert stood up on the throne and moved his shoulders.

"The war is about to begin. Before it came, I was still full of fear. But now, I am starting to look forward to it. Tell me, Ed. What is the strategy decided by the Imperial Council?"

When it came to business matters, Ed spoke freely.

"We are inclined to ask the Lannisters to explain whether their assassination of my youngest son, Brandon Stark, is true, and then let Jaime Lannister and Joffrey put on black clothes and send them to Becoming a man in black on the Great Wall of the North.”

"As for the remaining Tommen and Myrcella, they are still young, and sins should not be imposed on them. They will be sent to the Lannister family as bastards as the continuation of the family. I hope the old lion can see this. to quell the war. And Cersei.”

"And Cersei will be hanged by me." Robert interrupted Eddard calmly. "This is the biggest concession I can make to avoid war. Just one death, just one."

"If that old lion Tywin isn't willing, then there's nothing more to say. Let's start a war."

Ed opened his mouth, but in the end he said no words of admonishment. After turning his head to look at Lan En, he sighed and half-knelt on the ground.

"As ordered, I will return to the north and mobilize the troops loyal to the Stark family."

After a brief report, Lan En and Ed walked out of the throne room together.

Walking in the palace, which was filled with people's silence, Ed shook his head.

"It's unbelievable that you guessed before me that Robert would not let Cersei go."

"I don't know Robert better than you do. You are his good brother." Lan En said calmly.

"But just because I don't know him as well as you do, I won't have unrealistic expectations for him. People with explosive tempers will do explosive things. I think that you can't persuade him to come back, so I will follow the line of 'can't persuade him to come back' This line of thinking.”

"Well, at least you're right." Ed pursed his lips and nodded. "Then the letters I sent out in advance with ravens to the families in the north will not be released in vain."

Before Lan En went to the throne room, he suggested that Eddard release the raven in advance and summon the northern vassals.

Although this reaction was only three or four hours faster than normal, after experiencing what had just happened, Ed's awareness of the urgency of information had greatly improved.

Their raven only arrived less than an hour earlier than Lannister, which gave them the advantage today.

If the Lannisters had received the raven before they did, they would have been the ones to break through the gates before.

"Lan En, with your ability. Although I don't think war is a good thing, you can definitely get the title, and even the territory and castle in this war. I hope you can come to the North, and the Stark family will come from He has never failed his vassals."

Ed stopped and expressed his sincere attitude to Lan En.

The quagmire of King's Landing really taught him a lesson. Not to mention Lan En's own strength, just with his vision and wisdom, the Duke of the North was very eager to get this help.

But Lan En, of course, has no interest in this.

"I will return to the north with you, but the vassals have better forget it. In fact, I think the life King Robert just mentioned is also what I want."

If it had been anyone else, he would have been stalked and beaten at this time. After all, it would be a great blessing for the family to have a capable and smart person under his command.

But Ed is the kind of 'pedantic' person. If others don't want it, then he won't force it.

Maybe it's because of this 'pedantry' that Lan En doesn't hate him so much.

"If that's the life you want, then so be it. When we leave, we'll bring you the plant and animal materials you want, as well as the dragon bones."

Lan En nodded gently to Ed.

"Thanks for the help."
