Game of Thrones: From Lord Elden to Young Wolf

In order to prevent the so-called old man of Oldtown from making crazy moves, Robb was not in a hurry to let the army move in.

"Grey Wind, go and patrol the city and look for anything suspicious, especially the green flames we saw on the battlefield."

Grey Wind got the order and immediately ran wildly in Oldtown.

Under the guidance of the Grand Maesters, Robb began to visit the buildings in the Citadel.

The first thing the Grand Maesters introduced to Robb was the body of the former steward of the Citadel.

"Your Majesty, the steward committed suicide, saying that he wanted to apologize to you, and hoped that you could spare the wealth in the Citadel."

Robb was a little surprised. No wonder these maesters had some sad expressions on their faces when they first arrived at the gate of the Citadel. It turned out to be like this.

Robb waved his hand to signal his men to take the body away: "Take it to the residents outside to identify it and see if it is the steward."

The books in the Citadel are so vast that Robb feels that even if he spends his whole life, he can't read all the books here.

The people in the Citadel made a simple classification of these works: a series of land classifications such as alchemy, astronomy, mathematics and law.

There are also many works related to the ocean, such as ancient sea charts, warship designs, naval tactics and Valyrian writings.

The Citadel is also the best medical school, with the best doctors and various specimens.

In a room, Robb saw a giant skeleton, which was specially transported from outside the Northern Wall.

"This giant is much smaller than I thought."

Looking at the giant skeleton that was only four or five meters high, Robb's thoughts drifted to the last fire giant on the snowy mountain.

That huge body can be regarded as a giant.

"The Citadel will remain consistent for the time being. You can still carry out the previous research, but all the research content must be compiled into a book and reported to my men."

After taking over Oldtown, Robb's economic strength and territory have been greatly improved, and the power of the Wolf Guard can also spread here.

Strengthening the monitoring of the Citadel is a necessary measure.

"Of course, Your Majesty. But the position of the Citadel Master is still..."

Robb had an idea long ago: "This position will be vacant for the time being, I will arrange it."

The position of the Citadel Master must not be given to this group of people. Robb plans to introduce some new forces from outside to neutralize the influence of the local scholars in the Citadel.

Jon Snow's men just happen to have such a talent who can take on the responsibility.

——

After visiting the scene inside the Citadel, Grey Wind also completed his work.

Seeing Grey Wind's lively appearance, Robb knew that Oldtown was safe at this time, so he was relieved to let the army stationed outside enter.

"How to rule Oldtown is a difficult problem."

Unlike Robb's previous battle, Earl Hightower of Oldtown fled and took some soldiers with him.

Oldtown is still an ancient city, and the people living here are extremely complex, which is very different from those small cities.

No matter what Earl Hightower is like, the Hightower family, like the Stark family, is a great noble family that has been passed down for thousands of years.

In Oldtown, there must be people who are still loyal to the Hightower family.

Robb's people are here, the army is here, and their restless hearts can be suppressed.

Once Robb leaves and Lord Hightower comes back, Oldtown will become dangerous and may even rebel again.

It is easy to suppress the rebellion, but Robb wants a stable Oldtown that can continuously produce resources.

In any case, Robb is ready to give it a try.

When they arrived at the towering tower where the Hightower family lived, there were no people here, only a few servants were working tremblingly.

Robb called Lord Randyll Tarly and Lord Mace to the study and assigned them their respective tasks.

"Lord Randyll Tarly, I need you to do something recently, gather all the residents who are still in the city."

Randyll Tarly was shocked: "Your Majesty! There are so many people in Oldtown, don't you... This is not a trivial matter!"

"What nonsense!"

Robb knew that Randyll Tarly misunderstood his meaning: "You gather them together, let them take their own deeds and house deeds, and clarify their property rights.

Then, I will start to register the people."

Randyll Tarly still couldn't understand: "What do you mean by lining up baskets?"

Robb knew that these things were a bit beyond the cognition of the times, and these things still needed a knowledgeable lord like Randyll to do, so he explained: "Just like weaving baskets, arrange the residents of Oldtown in order."

Many people in Oldtown ran away, which is normal.

Who doesn't run away when they hear that the army is coming?

If Robb, like Tywin, let his men burn, kill and loot in the city, that family would be finished.

But those who stayed behind still had hope and concerns. On the one hand, they were reluctant to give up their property, and on the other hand, they hoped that Robb was a cruel and bloodthirsty person.

The first thing Robb had to do was to calm these people's hearts.

"Gather all these people together, determine their property according to the contract they provided, and strictly order the soldiers not to harass them. If they violated the rules, they would be beheaded."

"Once our policy is spread, many residents of Old Town will come back and do the same."

"After one month, no new residents will be accepted. All residents and properties will be registered, and all unclaimed properties will be owned by the public."

Randall Tarly didn't understand why Robb did this, but he felt that Robb's actions made sense, and it seemed to really help control Oldtown.

Oldtown is the city with the highest cultural level and prosperity in the entire Westeros continent. It has a profound heritage and a solid foundation. Robb plans to build it into the second city besides Star City.

Registering the people is just the first step.

"Duke Mace, the soldiers of Highgarden need to strictly guard the city gates recently. Only entry is allowed, not exit. The ban will be lifted after this work is completed."

Duke Mace patted his belly to indicate that there was absolutely no problem.

"It seems that I have to live in Oldtown for a while. I have to let Bahamut bring Little Rose over."

It's not enough to just make three rules. Robb also needs a dragon to deter all those who have bad intentions.

——

King's Landing.

Joffrey and Cersei looked at the corpses on the ground with a grim face, their bodies were trembling, and they couldn't say a word.

That was Tywin's body, which Robb's messenger had just sent to King's Landing.

"You all know what His Majesty Robb meant. You should treat this body the same way you treated old Lord Eddard. Otherwise, His Majesty will come here in person to urge you to do it."

Cersei said sharply, "Damn it, this is impossible! My son is the real king, and no one can command the real king!

Joffrey was trembling with fear, and looked at his mother and uncle helplessly.

Jaime saw the answer in his eyes. If what Robb said really worked, his son would definitely do it without any hesitation.

He was completely frightened.

If that Robb really appeared in front of him now, he would probably kneel down and beg for mercy without hesitation, and then cry bitterly.

Jaime felt a little tired.

Seeing that the ministers below were talking and seemed to be in despair, the little devil couldn't help but stand up.

"Okay, gentlemen. Don't have unnecessary fantasies now. His Majesty Robb has taken over the entire western part of Westeros. Although our lovely Casterly Rock has not been breached for the time being, it is almost there.

Even the beggars on the street know what his majesty is thinking! Whether we do this or not, he will come sooner or later. Although I also want to hang the body of this old man to dry, there is no point in doing so. "

He said such treasonous words openly, but no one was surprised.

The relationship between Tywin and the little devil is also known to the beggars on the street.

Cersei screamed: "You don't need to say it! You dwarf!"

The little devil is used to it and shrugged indifferently: "You are going crazy, my dear sister."

"I am your queen mother!"

Jaime's head hurts even more.

Joffrey muttered to himself: "Why, why did he lose, where did he fight? Where is he now? ! "

Cersei did not answer, she did not know, and looked at the Minister of Intelligence, the Octopus Spider.

Varys also found it a little incredible: "That Robb Stark is in Oldtown, and has no intention of attacking us for the time being. He is a very ambitious man, and he seems to want to gradually erode the entire continent.

After conquering Oldtown, he began to reorganize in Oldtown, and seemed to want to govern and conquer this city well. I guess he will also slowly reorganize after conquering Casterly Rock.

Until... all cities develop according to his ideas. "

Varys' words made everyone's backs go cold.

Before Robb, most lords would reward their subordinates or brothers after conquering a castle or territory.

But Robb changed this rule.

Whether it was the Iron Islands, the uninhabited Harrenhal, or the current Oldtown, or the future Casterly Rock, he did not reward any of these large castles.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that these large city castles were all in Robb's hands.

Those small castles were used by him to reward his ministers.

But because Robb had won so many battles and won so much territory.

Even if those large tracts of territory were annexed by Robb, his subordinates could still get enough spoils.

Everyone was satisfied, only the enemy was losing.

Cersei breathed a sigh of relief: "So, we still have time to reorganize the soldiers to fight?"

Varys said with difficulty: "The time may not be much, because our finances and manpower are seriously insufficient. The opponent's strength is getting stronger and stronger, we may have to find allies..."
