Chapter 164 163. The Iron Throne declares war with the Kingdom of Tedel

When Cersei saw the nobles who came to surrender to her, she had guesses in her heart.

But when she heard the news of James' death with her own ears, she was far less sad than she had imagined. She could only say she was sad, but not completely sad!

And I felt a little secretly happy. James died and he was the first heir to the West!

As for Tyrion, who served as prime minister in the Changxia imperial capital, Cersei felt that Tyrion was not qualified to inherit the Western Region, and Tyrion himself was probably not interested in the inheritance rights of the Western Region.

These nobles come to surrender to themselves, rather than to Tyrion of the Azeonian Empire, and this is the best proof!

The leader of the nobles who defected to this time was Zelos Werner. Earl Zelos was James' loyal and joined the Lion Family at the beginning of the Western Civil War.

Originally, under the leadership of James and Kevin, the Lion family had already gained the upper hand, but who knew where Anmika got a batch of flintlock rifles.

After James' death, nearly 60% of the nobles chose to surrender to the Tedel family, and the remaining 40% knew clearly that they were left behind and were constantly suppressed.

So under the leadership of Zelos, everyone packed their luggage and took their family treasures to flee to Cersei Lannister.

There were also many soldiers and families accompanying him. If Anmika hadn't been busy occupying the land, they might have been unable to escape.

But Cersei directly denied Melson's idea, "When the guy Theon sticks out his butt, I know what he is going to do. It's no different if you ced him to a territory like using wood to put out a fire!"

Melson's meaning is very obvious. He pulled Azenia onto his own pirate ship, because as of now, it would be more difficult for the Iron Throne to regain the Western Region by itself.

Looking at Cersei Lannister on the throne, there was a smile on his lips, but his eyes were filled with ruthlessness and ambition, which was completely different from Cersei in his impression!

In his impression, Cersei revealed clear stupidity and arrogance in his eyes. He had a little bit of power and tricks, knew nothing about politics, was short-sighted and arrogant.

Cersei played with the long hair in his ear, and after a moment he spoke, "Lannister, you must pay if you have any debt!"

Soon Zelos met Cersei under the leadership of his servant.

"Haha." Cersei sneered, "his purpose is the entire continent, and even Essus is among his goals. Now it is just to squeeze the wealth of other forces."

This is also the most helpless point. You know that his goal is to unify the two continents, and now you are selling weapons to suck your blood, but you can't sell it yourself.

Theon, Cersei, thought he could see it clearly and he could be meat, but Theon would never pay for it!

"Your Majesty, now Anmika has occupied Pikton City and Pine City. We can make a long-term plan to regain the Western Region, and there is no need to rush for a moment!" Zelos said.

"Her Majesty the Queen!" Zelos came in and saluted directly on one knee.

He was worried that when Cersei was excited, he would take the old, weak, sick and disabled kings to find trouble for Tedel.

Hearing Cersei's words, Melson felt that Cersei was a bit too extreme. If Theon wanted the Western Territory, the Western Territory was simply a woman who had been stripped naked and had no power to resist.

However, even if Anmika finds out that they are, he will most likely not choose to send people to chase them, because Anmika doesn't have many troops to use now.

Seeing Zelos's attitude, Cersei's mouth unconsciously began to rise, and she liked the title Her Majesty the Queen.

"But, don't worry, Tedel is just a wild dog with a broken back. I, Cersei Lannister, took over the position of Duke of Cay Rock City today and will surely regain the home occupied by the traitor!"

The most important thing is to "policy comes from the spear". If you want the army, you have to have money. If you want to have money, you have to rely on taxes. If you want to have high taxes, you have to know politics!

He didn't know how fucked Cersei's experience in the past few years was, but it was these experiences that made Cersei understand a lot.

If the internal affairs are messy, there is no money to build an army, nor does it have the money to buy weapons in Azenia. You can't pay for it?

"The Tedel family was in trouble, and my father's designated heir died in the battlefield. Kaiyan City was occupied by traitors. The Lannister family will not forget this painful day!"

Melson's favorite method is to ced one-third of the Western Territory to Azenia in exchange for the support of the empire. After the Western Territory is taken down, the Iron Throne only needs two-thirds of the Western Territory land connected to the king's leader.

If it weren't for killing James Lannister from coming up, Anmika wouldn't have won so easily.

One-third of the territory in the north was ceded to Azeniania, and the territory in the north was not rich anyway.

"If Theon Greyjoy wants to take down those territories, we can't stop them. I think you're a little too worried."

Cersei summoned Zelos and his ranks of nobles in the Throne Hall, and she wanted to arrange these people first.

Zelos looked at Cersei with a burning look. It was too unexpected. He couldn't believe that this was what Cersei could say!

"Your Majesty, I think you can try to take down Pikton City first, and then contact His Highness the Princess to convince Azenia to take down Golden Tooth City!" The King's Hand spoke and suggested.

If you don’t buy it, others will buy it. After others buy it, they will come to fight you. Once the war occurs, they will fall into a dead cycle.

"Come here, I will issue an order immediately. The Iron Throne declares war on the Tedel family!" Cersei directly ordered that sometimes wars must be fought. She has read a lot of books on politics during this period and has a basic understanding of many things.

Then Cersei enfeoffed territory to Zelos and his nobles, and they were all talents who could lead troops to fight. Cersei also understood this and would naturally win over it.

After Cersei arranged everyone, she turned around and said to Melson: "You go to the Azeniah Empire yourself, don't make any promises, go directly to Messella, and then let Messella take you to Tyrion!"
