Game of Thrones: The Bronze and Fire Lord

Emon pushed open the door of the conference room.

Representatives from all parties had been waiting for a long time, and there were more than a dozen people sitting around three tables.

There were veterans of Runestone City such as Gunthor, Jello, and William.

There were also allies and vassals such as Holden, Addison, and Walder.

The rest were the staff officers brought by each of them, as well as some elders of the Royce branch family.

His Royal Highness opened the door, and the melodious sound of cello followed.

Everyone kept quiet and followed closely.

Tonight's pre-war meeting will decide the honorable sacrifice of this war.

"Everyone, let's not talk nonsense."

Emon walked to the front and pointed to a hanging world map.

It can't be called a world map.

Because it doesn't have the North, the eastern part of Essos, and the Sothoryos continent of the Summer Islands.

It's just a detailed map of the strait sea.

Bang!

Imon picked up a dragon-shaped stone sculpture with a magnetic base and placed it on the position of Seagull Town, saying directly: "Tomorrow the army will set out, we must first meet up in Seagull Town, win supplies and get in touch with the coalition forces of Chaotou Island."

There is no doubt about this.

The people of the Valley lack ships, so they must form an alliance with these sea families at sea.

Both sides have the same interests.

Afterwards, he took out dragon-shaped stone sculptures one after another and placed them at the positions of Crab Island and Chaotou Island.

Imon drew a straight line along the north and south of the Gorge Sea with his fingers, explaining the key points: "The Three Women's Kingdom was defeated a few years ago, and now it has entered the Gorge Sea from the Stone Steps Islands and is scattered into small groups to cause chaos."

"These three ports are all closed, and the Three Women's Kingdom cannot satisfy its greedy nature by simply robbing passing ships."

"And the climate in the Gorge Sea is changeable, and the wind and waves on the sea are turbulent, and the benefits are not proportional to the risks."

Everyone listened attentively, nodding secretly from time to time.

Your Highness's analysis is very reasonable.

The pirates of the Three Women's Kingdom can do anything, but they can't stand not being able to rob money.

Bang!

Another stone sculpture fell, but it was a red stone sculpture with a cross falling on the position of Pentos on the other side of the Strait.

Aemon said: "There is no place for them to plunder in Westeros, so the pirates of the Three Kingdoms will have to take action against their old enemies."

Among the nine free trade city-states, Pentos ranks among the top in comprehensive strength.

But the situation is very embarrassing.

There is a Bravs in the upper half of the Strait, and the two city-states have been at war for many years, and both have lost more than they have won.

In the lower half of the Strait, there are the Three Kingdoms of Lys, Myr, and Tyrosh, which are even more defeated.

Pentos, stuck in the middle of the Strait, has become a punching bag.

"The three women's kingdoms cannot plunder the ports of Westeros, so they can only start from the relatively weak Pentos."

Aemon drew three small red circles in Pentos and pondered: "There are three ports in total, all of which will be targets of plunder."

The three ports are the outermost Port of Casromae, the narrow haven in the bay, and the most important Port of Pentos.

"Which port will they plunder?"

Houghton asked curiously.

"No one can say for sure."

Aemon did not jump to conclusions, but gave a subjective judgment: "Port of Casromae is the second richest, with casinos and brothels everywhere, and it has suffered the most damage."

In order to protect the Port of Pentos, Port of Casromae is more like a shield.

Every time they are hit at their doorstep, they will launch a siege in Port of Casromae.

"We can't judge, the pirates of the three women's kingdoms will definitely plunder Pentos."

Wald has a calm personality and believes that the battlefield changes rapidly.

"That's right, everything has to wait for the final conclusion."

Aemon nodded and pointed to Tidehead Island: "We don't know what the enemy is thinking, but we can lead the enemy by the nose."

The Three Women's Kingdoms are in chaos, and it is not only the ports of Westeros that are affected.

They ally with Tidehead Island, and Tidehead Island can also ally with Pentos.

The two sides of the Strait jointly set a trap and leave bait waiting for the three women to drill.

Everyone looked at each other and had no opinion.

The name of the sea snake Corliss is well-known in the world.

Nine voyages have achieved success and fame, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

They only need to make a preset and see how Tidehead Island makes decisions later.

Both sides have no opinions, and it is not a bad thing to be united against the outside world.

That's it.

Aemon looked around and asked, "Who has a different opinion?"

He has never experienced war and knows nothing about strategic layout.

The above content was not formed when the decision to go to war was made.

While waiting for the vassal, ideas gradually emerged.

As weapons and armors were produced, the plan was gradually improved.

It was still very rough, and various details could not be explored in depth.

Generally speaking, the general direction was acceptable.

After waiting for a while, no one stood up.

Including the sons of great nobles such as Horton and Walder, they were all knights in peacetime.

Having never experienced the baptism of war, they dared not talk about war on paper.

"I have a question!"

Addison jumped up suddenly.

Aemon was a little surprised: "Tell me."

Could the other party be a handsome talent?

Addison never disappoints people in disappointing people.

He stretched his ears to listen to the door, with a sincere face: "Your Highness, what is the name of the tune just now? It sounds really exciting. I will go back and let the musicians in Gray Valley learn it."

Aemon:...

I really want to kick him out.

With Addison's interruption, the atmosphere became lively.

Horton and others also listened attentively, slightly diverting their heavy mood.

The pre-war meeting was very short.

His Royal Highness spoke for ten minutes, and the sound of the cello downstairs gradually stopped.

Addison is still asking: "Prince, is this ditty new?"

Guess he asked about itchy spots.

Eamonn smiled and said: "I hired someone to compose it, and it's called "The Rains of Castrome"."

"Casrome..."

Everyone thought for a moment and looked at Pentos on the map.

His Royal Highness concluded that the starting point of the war would be Porto Castrome, and composed a tune in advance to spread the word.

His Royal Highness, with his usual calmness, should not be a arrogant person?

Boom!

There was a knock on the door and a man pushed in.

It was a young musician holding a cello. He lowered his head and did not dare to look around. He said nervously: "Report to the prince that the music has been played."

Aemon glanced sideways, took out a bag of gold from his arms and threw it out.

He doesn't like musicians.

The young musician took the money bag and even forgot about the cello he used to eat, with a look of ecstasy on his face.

"Get him a carriage."

Aemon called William who was guarding the door and told him: "Let him arrive at Iron Oak safely and play a song for the respected old Lord Red."

"yes!"

William took the order and left with the young musicians.

Everyone in the room was confused.

Addison didn't understand and asked: "The musicians are gone, what should we listen to?"

The party downstairs is not over yet.

Eamonn said calmly: "This song is only suitable for others to listen to. Tonight is the first time it appears in the world, so I will make an exception and listen to it myself."

After hearing this, everyone asked no more questions.

Everyone felt that this piece of music was unusual.

Downstairs, the banquet was lively.

…

Runestone City is not the only place that is bustling.

Iron Oak City was no less impressive, feasting almost every night.

Same night.

Old Red sat at the head of the table, holding the young lady in his arms, looking at the hall and laughing.

Two things made him feel good.

After one Targaryen boy left in despair, not only did he not take revenge on the Waynwood family, he foolishly summoned his vassals to prepare for the war against the pirates of the Three Women Kingdom.

"He's just as arrogant as his father."

Old Red scoffed.

The second thing.

With Seagull Town and major ports closed, business in Iron Oak City suddenly improved.

Even the vendors in Erin Valley came here to sell good things that they couldn't buy in the past.

"Haha, you are all friends of the Waywood family."

Old Reid toasted to the businessmen at the banquet, his old face smiling like chrysanthemums.

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

Among the merchants there are many noble second sons, mercenary knights and foreigners.

Qualified to sit at the same table and drink with him.

Another reason is that the Waywood family has not had visitors for a long time.

It's rare for an old fox to be generous.

"Father, these are good things."

His eldest son, who was not very handsome, brought two items and presented them to his father.

Old Red took a closer look and saw that they were briquettes and lime.

"Where did it come from?"

He has seen enough to know its specific effects.

The eldest son Hart said happily: "The merchants in Erin Valley resold it. I heard that the place of origin is River Valley Town. Many nobles in the valley have secretly purchased it."

"Haha, the Targaryen boy still has some talent."

Old Red laughed heartily and pointed to two things: "With them, you don't have to worry about the cold and dampness of the castle, and you can also repair the damage to the city wall."

Hart laughed and shouted: "With lime, we can also repair the castle hall."

Both father and son were laughing, which made the Waywood family and merchants below even more lively.

But this laughter stopped abruptly the next night.

The young musician stood in the center of the hall, playing "The Rains of Casromé" under the singing voice of his companions.

The sound of the cello is melodious, and there is a special accompaniment.

"The pirate proudly asks you what your virtues are, and wants me to surrender."

"As far as I know, you and I both have sharp steel knives."

"..."

"Hear it roar, hear it roar."

"The port of Castrome!"

"Pirates surround the peace, dragons burn with fire."

"..."

"Old rudder, old rudder."

"The storm struck his great ship."

"But no one knows now."

"..."

In just ten minutes, the song ended.

The tune is full of depression and wildness, and the lyrics have clear meaning.

The pirates provoked the dragon and plundered a port called Casrome, but was burned by the dragon.

A storm came at sea, leaving only the broken rudder and no one alive.

Old Red's eyelids jumped wildly when he heard this, and he asked in a low voice: "Where is Casmero?"

One of his sons trotted over: "It seems to be a port in Pentos."

"It turns out to be a small place in Fanbang. No wonder it sounds weird."

Old Reid pretended to be calm and inquired: "You are from Runestone City, has anyone used your mouth to spread messages?"

The young musician was trembling and replied: "Prince Aemon asked me to apologize to Lord Red Waywood, saying that he can't get away for the time being. He will come to visit him again after defeating the pirates of the Three Women Kingdom."

"Who cares?"

Old Red was furious and shouted: "Give these musicians a good meal and then send them away."

He had many children and grandchildren, and he immediately drove away the young musicians.

During this period, the cello was also broken.

Even so, it still couldn't calm Old Reid's fright at this moment.

The first half of the song can also be used as inspiration for the decisive battle against the pirates of the Three Women Kingdom.

But he could tell that the second half was the essence.

That young boy had no intention of letting him go.

No, it was not just him.

No one knew!

Old Red picked up the wine glass and tried to calm down, but his hands were shaking and he couldn't hold it steady.

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

The eldest son Hart noticed his abnormality.

"It's okay, what can happen to me!"

Old Red was very stubborn.

He was the Earl of Iron Oak City, and he had the protection of the Lady of Eagle Nest and the King.

Even Damon, the father of that young boy, didn't dare to blatantly kill an ancient nobleman who had been passed down for thousands of years.

At most, he would kill a few of his children and grandchildren, which would not scare him.

"I'm tired, you keep drinking."

Old Red was fidgeting and dragged the young lady to leave.

A closer look showed that his legs were trembling and half of his body was leaning on the young lady.

Hart was puzzled and asked, "Father, your naming day is in the middle of next month, and we haven't discussed the specifications yet."

"What's the point of discussing it? We won't do it."

"But don't you love naming day the most?"

"I said I won't do it!"

Old Red's face was gloomy, and he cursed, "Will I die if I don't do it for a year? I still have decades to live, so I can live for another year."

The more life and death it is, the more we should keep a low profile and seek stability.

The eldest son doesn't even know this, he really gave birth to a pig.

"Yes, father."

Hart was over 30 years old and stood like a minion in front of his father.

"Wait a minute."

Old Red was still worried and ordered, "Call back all my sons and grandsons, and notify those daughters who married out not to go out, and stay here honestly."

The noble castle is sacred and inviolable.

Iron Oak City and the daughters' husband's family are at least safe.

If you can't afford to offend, can't you hide?

"Yes, father."

Hart didn't dare to ask more.

After Old Reid walked away, he turned around and continued to entertain the merchants from the Arryn Valley.

…

At the same time.

Aemon rode a white deer and led an army of 15,000 people all the way south, and saw the white low wall of Seagull Town from afar.

The sun set, and the afterglow of the sunset fell.

Aemon raised his hands and caught a raven flying from Riverdale Town.

Johanna's letter drew a black rose.

Aemon smiled.

Knowing in his heart, the plan went according to plan.

A song "The Rainy Season of Casromae" was given to Old Reid of Iron Oak City.

It was not a threat, nor an arrogant threat.

Similarly, he was not afraid of any of his defenses.

He was just considerate and friendly.

He wanted Old Reid to live in the fear of Mingzhi's death in the last period of his life.

Just like the motto of the Royce family: "We remember."
