Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system
Chapter 208 Orders that cannot be written on paper
The banquet broke up unhappily because the situation was already a hot potato and there was almost no way to break it.
No one can forcefully attack another opponent with hundreds of thousands of guys who can use you as food at any time. This is no different from seeking death.
Renly actually wanted to withdraw. After all, he was his brother. In order to kill his brother, he even ignored the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians in King's Landing. Can he do such a thing?
But as long as this matter is spread out with embarrassment, Renly Baratheon's reputation will be completely ruined, which will be extremely detrimental to his future rule.
He is different from grass-headed kings like Aegon Targaryen and Robert. He did not come to power by force. His legitimacy came from inheriting Robert's power.
But this means that he must be bound by various rules, such as a series of rules, and he needs to ensure his reputation. Because his force is not overwhelming, he must rely on these means to maintain it.
However, all the nobles of the Reach under his command were against it. Renly could not fall out with them, so he could only walk away and end the banquet hastily.
But he didn't expect that some people were determined to force him and Stannis to death, and they started making preparations as soon as he entered King's Landing.
…
Renly lost a personal crest. It was of no use. It was just a piece of identification, and it could also be used to mobilize troops. But the entire Stormlands and Reach lands army was in King's Landing, so it was useless for others to get it.
This was what he thought at the beginning. At that time, he was still in the stage of making great progress. After getting drunk at a banquet, he completely forgot about it the next day.
Lord Alexander Stemon, nicknamed "The Money-worshiping Lord", was disliked by Renly because he was particularly greedy for money. He has always been on the edge in the entire army.
To be precise, if it is lost, not many people will look for it. If it is dead, it will be taken back and buried directly.
Therefore, the Tyrell family used a small trick to get in touch with the Earl of Long Arch Castle and successfully obtained information about him.
But now, the Earl of Long Arch Castle was no longer in the army in King's Landing. Halfway through the battle, he excused himself from being unwell and unfit to fight again, and despite the ridicule of others, he forcibly left the army.
Renly didn't make things difficult for him. After all, it was the same with or without this person. Anyway, his army could just stay here. If he left, there would be one less person to waste military rations.
Lord Alexander Stonemon, after leaving the battlefield, did not go to his hometown of Longkeep to escape the war, but went straight to Storm's End, Renly's hometown.
His target is the last small fleet that Renly retains here, which is the private property of the Stormlands.
The commander of this fleet is Selwyn Tarth, Brienne Tarth's father and current Lord of House Tarth, who refused to serve Stannis.
After their only daughter and heir became Renly Baratheon's Rainbow Guard, House Tarth of Duskhall took orders from Renly.
Now, the Tarth family controls the only remaining small fleet in the Stormlands. Because it is too different from Stannis's royal fleet, it is unlikely to make any achievements in the war, so it has been staying in Shipbreaker Bay as a fleet.
When the news of the Tyrell family reached Earl Alexander Steamon, he immediately set out to sea from Storm's End and went to Tarth Island, where he met Earl Selwyn Tarth.
"This is His Majesty's token, Lord Tas, please verify it."
Selwyn Tarth, who looked confused, took the object that represented Renly's identity. After carefully identifying it for a while, he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the object. In addition, the other party was also a noble from the Stormlands, and he was convinced. eight.
Although the man in front of me has a bad reputation, how many lords in Westeros have all positive reviews?
Selwyn Tas himself was a libertine who changed mistresses every day when he was young. Therefore, he was not very good at judging a person's quality by rigid moral standards.
"Lord Tas, I am here on behalf of Your Majesty this time to give you a confidential mission."
"Secret mission?"
Selwyn Tarth was confused. What secret mission? Why didn't he notify him with a raven, and instead sent someone to look for him? What's going on?
But then, the doubts in his heart were cleared by Alexander Shimon's words.
"Lord Tarth, this time, His Majesty asks you to lead a fleet to Dragonstone, Stannis's lair, and take the elite of your Tarth family to capture Stannis' heir, Celine Baratheon. "
"What!"
"Don't be excited, my lord. All of Stannis's fleets have been attracted to us and have arrived at King's Landing. This is the best opportunity."
…
By the time Selwyn Tars stood on the deck of the sailing warship, he had been thinking about what Alexander Stemon had just said to him, the words that made him frightened.
"Stannis only has one daughter. That guy is a bastard. He doesn't even have a bastard."
"What's this?"
"My Lord Tarth, if we kill his daughter, then even if he becomes king, who will inherit his throne?"
"Hiss...what do you mean?"
"That's right! If Celine Baratheon disappears from this world, then Stannis's successor will be His Majesty Renly. Do you think he will still fight with His Majesty until then?"
"Stannis' character is known to all the Seven Kingdoms, and we can't bet on that."
"This is wrong. Stannis is like this, but what about his men? Would you be willing to follow a boss who is destined to have no future?"
Having said this, Selmy Tarth understood why Renly Baratheon would send such a person to look for him specifically.
This is an absolutely shady matter and must not be left in writing.
If you can't defeat him on a frontal battlefield, and you use such methods, the dazzling future King of the Seven Kingdoms, His Majesty Renly Baratheon, will never be able to bear such an infamy.
And to ask him to do this, he asked Selwyn Tarth to be the bad guy. When he got the job done, Renly promised to stop the storm coming towards him.
He did something superficial, such as giving a few words of reprimand, and then removing Brienne Tarth, the heir to the Tarth family, from her post as Rainbow Guard and returning her to him. This played right into his hands.
As for the reputation? It really doesn't matter to him.
He is already fifty-three years old, and there is no telling how he will one day go to see the Seven Gods as soon as he kicks off his legs. By then, will no one want a daughter who has a Tas Island?
No matter how ugly his daughter is, a large number of people will come to propose marriage. He knows very well the ways of the nobility.
After much thought, Selwyn Tarth decided to take on this task, and he also had his own ideas. He was not prepared to directly kill Stannis's daughter Celine.
Let her encounter the storm passively in Shipbreaker Bay on the way back and hit the rocks in silence. This is something that Earl Tars can still do.
Everyone knows that storms at Storm's End are unpredictable, the sea is rough and the waves are rough, and the seabed is covered with reefs.
It is a very normal thing to hit a rock and capsize. I believe everyone can understand it, right?
…
After ten days of sailing, Earl Selwyn's fleet entered the waters of Blackwater Bay.
Instead of using Renly's proper Crowned Stag banner, they used Stannis's burning version of the Crowned Stag banner.
First, although Stannis's royal fleet is all in King's Landing, there is no guarantee that the remaining fleets of other families in Blackwater Bay will be here.
Hanging this flag can save you a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Secondly, this operation is a raid on Dragonstone Island. If they are judged as enemies before landing, once the gate to Dragonstone Island is closed, it will not be easy for them to defeat them.
The Earl of Tarth brought with him the elite strength of the Tarth family. One less person would die, and Renly would not pay for this.
