Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system
Chapter 173 Inside the City
"These Baratheons and Tyrells are as hard-hearted as stones. When can we get out of this ruined city?"
Lord Janos Slynt, the capital garrison captain who was famous for selling his officers and conferring titles, routinely patrolled the city of King's Landing. He looked at the lights in the huge military camp outside the city and cursed rudely.
Dots of fire occupied his entire field of vision. Renly's 100,000 troops and the huge camp set up outside King's Landing gave these defenders a huge visual impact.
Originally, as the Commander-in-Chief of the City Guard, he should be working hard on his mistress at this time, but since the Lannister army entered the city, there have been no such good days.
The storm of the fall of Eddard Stark, the former king's prime minister, did not affect the golden robe chief at all. It was different from what Clay remembered, because Eddard Stark was like a wolf and a tiger. Because of the Northern Soldiers, he did not stand directly opposite Ed.
But similarly, he did not stand against the Lannister, but played the role of a good boy in the conflict without even farting.
After Eddard Stark escaped from King's Landing and the entire city fell under Cersei's control, this guy immediately led people to the throne room, slid down and knelt in front of Joffrey, who had just ascended the throne.
With his excellent licking skills, he successfully made the moody child king happy, so Lord Janos Slynt still placed his big butt firmly on the position of captain of the capital defense. .
When Tywin led his army into King's Landing, the command of all the city's armies naturally fell into the hands of Duke Tywin. How did he become the commander? Janos Slynt knew very well.
Tywin's initial task for Slynt was to stay in the city and maintain law and order throughout King's Landing. As for defending the city, Tywin felt that these guys were useless.
As a result, when Renly's siege army was fully deployed and the army was posted at almost all the city gates, Tywin, who was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength, had to recruit Janos Slynt's golden robes to the city wall, and together they Participate in the defense of the city.
However, Duke Tywin's judgment of these people was very accurate. The area they defended was often the weakest link in the entire city wall. In the attack the day before yesterday, Renly's men even stormed the city.
When Duke Tywin saw this situation, he actually had no good solution.
If these golden robes and the Lannister army were to be broken up and mixed together, not to mention that it would take time to break up and reorganize, the question of what to do when Renly attacks the city at this time, as far as the combat effectiveness of these guys is concerned, if they are mixed together, it is equivalent to lowering themselves. The defensive capabilities of the army.
If they don't mix it up, it won't work to let the Lannister army take over their defense. Now all the more than 20,000 people in Tywin's hands have been sent out, leaving only 3,000 people as reserves. Once the golden robes are withdrawn, what if someone The place was breached, and there was no one to put out the fire.
No matter how cunning Tywin is, he cannot conjure an army out of thin air. In this situation, the only thing he can do is to move his reserve team closer to where the golden robes are defending.
Preparing for the worst, you have to think about wiping your butt for these idiots at any time.
After being scolded by Joffrey and Tywin in the throne room with their faces and noses, Janos Slynt, who was on patrol duty, felt angry and stood on the dark city wall. Take a stroll.
"Boy, what's new with these Dixiecrats?"
Pulling over a gold-robed soldier on duty, Janos Slynt shouted and asked:
"Sir... no, no, these Southerners are right where they were. The siege stopped at noon."
This dozing gold-robed soldier was caught in action by his boss, and his tone was stern. He knew very well that his commander was not a good person. In the eyes of this man, the lives of low-level soldiers like them were... Not even a dog.
Janos Slynt only dared to show off his authority in front of the gold-robed soldiers like himself. If it were an ordinary Lannister soldier, Janos Slynt would have already unsheathed the sword in his waist if he dared to say this. .
In a word, after Tywin's army entered the city, they, the formerly aloof masters of the city guard, have become stepmothers, and anyone can bully them.
"Stand up straight. If you let me see you dozing off again, the next time we attack the city, I will treat you like a stone and throw you off the city wall. You understand, there are no idiots!"
"I understand, sir!"
…
In the brightly lit center of power of the Seven Kingdoms, the Hand's Tower in the Red Keep, Tywin Lannister stayed with his daughter and son.
Yes, this towering Prime Minister's Tower is the real core of Lannister's rule over the city. As for the throne room, it is just a game that the three of them are covering their noses and playing with Joffrey. .
The king treating Joffrey like this is really a miracle in the history of the Seven Kingdoms. The king thinks he has great power and destiny, but in fact, his kingdom is just a kingdom made up of capable family members. While working as a paper framer, he struggled to maintain the precarious political power.
Joffrey, whose surname was Baratheon, considered himself the only successor to his father, King Robert Baratheon I, but all the Baratheon vassals chose to support Renly or Stannis.
It can be said that if his mother was not the daughter of Lannister, and he himself was the best tool for Lannister to realize his family's ambition, he, the king, would suddenly be in a situation where his head was missing and his golden crown fell to the ground.
When the glory of Targaryen dissipates, the kings of the Seven Kingdoms can no longer use blood as the basis for the legitimacy of their political power. Everyone used to be vassals of the Targaryen family, and no one knows who is who.
Why can you Baratheon sit on this throne, but we Lannister can't?
Ambition does not arise for no reason. Robert's regime has been a lame drunkard from the beginning. It has been swaying under Robert's military power for so many years. When he died, this drunkard suddenly became About to fall.
"Tell me, my stupid son and daughter, what should we do about the current situation?"
Tywin has never had a good look on his children. Tyrion has always been like this. He has long been accustomed to his father's cynicism. After all, he said himself that dwarfs are illegitimate children in his father's eyes.
But Cersei is not like this. The former Lannister princess is actually the first-hand person responsible for the crisis of genocide in front of Lannister. When Tywin entered the city, it didn't take long to find out the cause of Robert's death and Joe's death. Foley's true life experience.
For a person who values his family more than anything else, Cersei doing this would make him a hundred times more angry than just slapping Tywin, but this is the situation now, and she has to keep walking even if she pinches her nose. Went down.
"I don't care. Anyway, I have been thrown to Casterly Rock by you. As a dwarf, I might be able to be a clown in the court of the new king, and I might live a better life than I do now."
Tyrion shrugged his narrow shoulders indifferently, with an indifferent expression on his huge head. He poured himself a glass of wine, and looked aimlessly under the cold eyes of his father, Lord Tywin, and his sister, Queen Cersei. Wandering around.
Tywin Lannister's green eyes reflected a captivating gaze. He had always hated his son very much. He always said he disliked Tyrion's various moral shortcomings. In fact, he knew in his heart. , just because his son is a dwarf.
If this is an ordinary peasant family, then there is a 90% chance that this child will not live to adulthood. What the peasant family needs is a strong labor force, not a waste with short limbs.
As a prominent Lannister, even if Tywin dislikes Tyrion, it is impossible for him to attack him. After all, this is his son, no matter what, so he can only treat him as the gods. Punished.
"Tyrion, put away your wisecracks and tell others. Now, the family needs your brains."
"Oh? The great Tywin Lannister needs the help of a dwarf. This is really the funniest joke I have ever heard..."
Tywin's face had darkened visibly, and Cersei on the side kept a smile that made her want to slap her. She had no intention of saving her brother. She was happy to see Tyrion suffer misfortune.
After saying this, Tyrion also knew that he was one step away from completely irritating his father, so he spread his hands to signal his surrender, and then sat back in his chair consciously.
"I thought you would last longer."
Cersei stabbed Tyrion sarcastically, but Tyrion immediately retorted:
"Really? Then I have to discuss with my brother what posture is more attractive to women, but unfortunately, he is not here. It is so lonely. Don't you think so, my dear sister?"
"enough!"
Tywin slammed the table hard. He didn't want to hear these two careless things sarcastically arguing here.
Cersei, who was about to raise her eyebrows when he got angry, suddenly lost her temper. She was not afraid of anyone but her father. She was stupid enough to do other things, but how did she get her position? It was rare for her to maintain it. wide awake.
"Tyrion, answer me, I don't want to hear any more nonsense."
After holding it in for a long time, Tyrion sighed slightly and whispered:
"Father, our current food reserves in the city have reached a very dangerous level. I went to check. Ever since Robert was killed by my lovely sister, the Tyrell family has not sent any supplies to King's Landing. It’s only been a few months since one grain of grain passed by, and King’s Landing’s grain storehouse is about to reach its bottom.”
"What was Petyr doing before? Where did all the food in King's Landing go?!"
Tywin was suddenly shocked. He had been busy arranging the defenses of King's Landing before. Renly's army had been attacking the city every day, leaving him no time to rest. Now that the offensive was suspended, he had time to sort out the situation.
But I didn't expect that the first news I heard would be so exciting.
Tyrion's ugly big nose sneered:
"Who knows? Maybe he was sold by our former finance minister to pay off the debt of the Iron Bank? Varys's little bird told me that the messenger of the Iron Bank was detained by that idiot Stannis, and it seemed that he wanted to Force that unfortunate guy to let the Iron Bank lend him money to expand his army."
"What do you mean by sending someone from the Iron Bank?"
Cersei asked confused.
"My dear sister, when you opened your legs and enjoyed yourself in the palace, do you know how many golden dragons the family and the iron bank lent you in order to maintain Robert's throne?"
"The only purpose of these Braavos people coming here is to make us pay back the money. There is not a word of excess."
Tyrion looked at Cersei, who suddenly turned pale, and felt complicated. For him personally, exposing Cersei's scars made him feel very happy, and it was much better than staying with his daughter-in-law.
But from a family perspective, the situation before him did not make him happy at all. Except for Cersei, neither father nor son were fools. They knew very well that once King's Landing ran out of food and chaos broke out in the city, the city would be destroyed in a matter of seconds.
And once the city of King's Landing is destroyed, haha, every one of the people in this room will be at risk of losing their heads.
No, that's not entirely correct. I guess the person most likely to lose his head is his father. As for me, if I beg for mercy a little harder, I might actually be able to be a court jester for Renly.
As for his sister, while she still has some beauty, Renly may let her relax first, and then take her father and the Mountain's head with her to Dorne in exchange for Martell Family allegiance.
Tyrion believes that they are completely interested in doing what the Mountain did to Sister Oberon again to Cersei. Hatred is sometimes the purest emotion in the world.
