The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Whispering City, Lord's Council Hall.

Lord Green, Knight Pell, Knight Mason, Bachelor Al, Steward Herschel, and Amparo were sitting together and discussing the "eastward" plan to regain the old land.

In the center of the table was a large map of the eastern part of the Crab Claw Peninsula.

The entire plan was almost discussed. Green pondered for a while and then said: "Recovering the old land is an expedition, and ensuring military supplies is the top priority. Every other distance... Based on normal marching speed, half a day's distance will be used as the standard. , we must build a camp protected by wooden walls and proceed step by step."

"Everyone, the Kleb family has not fought a long-distance expedition away from the territory for more than ten years. In the past, our battles took place near the territory. It is easy to replenish food, and injured soldiers can also receive timely treatment."

"It's different when you leave home. You are surrounded by enemies at all times. If military supplies are not guaranteed, we may collapse before the battle begins, and we will lose before the war begins. As a person, The commander of the corps must always put the protection of military supplies first, and the commanders of the Kleb family must bear this in mind."

Everyone solemnly replied: "Yes, sir!"

"Pell, your survey corps needs to set off in advance to collect information along the way. The survey corps must select a site in advance for establishing a camp. When selecting a site for the camp, terrain and water sources must be considered comprehensively. I will meet you in three days. Lead the army and set off."

Green stood up, and everyone also stood up.

Green slowly glanced at everyone's eyes and said: "Recover the old land, unite as one!"

"Yes! Recover the old land, unite as one!"

"Recover the old land, unite as one!!"

"Recover the old land, unite as one!!!"

……………………

As soon as the war meeting ended, everyone else left the meeting hall. Only Butler Herschel stayed to report to Green on other matters in the territory.

There are many affairs in the territory, and Butler Hershel can only report them one by one.

Green was listening attentively when the door of the conference hall was suddenly pushed open, and Sulana's tall figure appeared at the door.

Surana saluted and said: "With the excuse of interrupting me, my master, I thought the meeting was over."

Green's calm eyes moved to Sulana: "Sulana, is there something urgent?"

"Your cousin, Lady Lyanna Crabb..."

Before Surana could finish speaking, another tall figure appeared at the door.

The person who came was slender, and his appearance was sixty-seven points similar to Green's. This person was Green's cousin according to Surana - Lyanna Clayber.

As soon as Green stood up from the chair, the dusty Lyanna Crabb threw herself into Green's arms and cried, her cry full of grievance.

Green was guessing in his mind what happened, but he didn't say anything. He just reached out a hand to Lyanna's back and patted her, silently comforting Lyanna Clayber's emotions.

After a while, Sulana came over and whispered some words of comfort. He helped Lyanna Kleb sit on the chair next to her, then picked up the wine glass and poured a glass of red wine for Lyanna.

Green waited quietly for Lyanna to finish a large glass of red wine in several sips, and then said: "Lyanna, tell me why you are so sad. I am here."

Lyanna's eyes were filled with tears: "Ishour wants to divorce me, woo woo woo."

Ushour's full name is Ushour Meka, and he is a businessman in Seagull Town in the Valley. Lyanna Crabb was married to Ushor Mekar of Gulltown in the Vale about four years ago under the arrangement of Green's mother.

How could Lyanna, a noble, marry a merchant?

After the Reaver War, Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King and Duke of the Vale, did not relax his suppression of the Dragon Family loyalists on the Crab Claw Peninsula, and the forces in the Vale naturally followed suit.

Green's mother struggled to maintain the suppressed Kleb family. After ten years of perseverance, the exhausted Green mother chose a decent compromise and pushed Lyanna Crabb, who had just had her menarche, into a marriage between the nobles of the valley.

The nobles of the valley looked down upon the semi-savage nobles of the Crab Claw Peninsula, so Green's mother had no choice but to choose Ushor Mekar, a businessman who was said to have maintained good relations with various nobles in Seagull Town.

Strictly speaking, this marriage was an insult to the Kleb family by the valley nobles.

The blockade of the nobles of the valley has suppressed the nobles of the Crab Claw Peninsula for nearly ten years, and they have long lost the enthusiasm they had at the beginning. After ten years of continuous blockade and suppression, coupled with this humiliation, it was enough to show his loyalty to Lord Jon Arryn, Hand of the King, and he could let go.

The Kleb family has indeed damaged their dignity as nobles, but the marriage has indeed eased their relationship with the valley. The blockade on the Kleb family has been lifted, and itinerant merchants have begun to enter the Kleb family's territory one after another, bringing various urgently needed supplies. The Kleb family's leather can also be sold to mobile traders from all over the country at normal prices. merchant.

The sacrifice of Lyanna Crabb's marriage gave the Crabb family a breathing space, and the entire incident itself had already buried deep hatred.

It's just that the Kleb family was too weak at the time and no one cared too much.

……………………

"My cousin, why did he divorce you?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I later learned that a noble widow from Rune Stone City fell in love with Wu Shou'er! That widow has no children yet. After she divorces me, their legitimate children can inherit the title."

Upon hearing the answer, Green's slender fingers tightened on his knees.

Lyanna continued: "I was laughed at by the people in the valley about our marriage. How would I live if I were divorced... Of course I wouldn't agree to it, and he even attacked me. Then I got really scared, so I She sneaked back with her maid while he was out, woo hoo!"

Green's eyes narrowed slightly: "It seems that the people in the valley really don't take us seriously."

Surana felt very sorry for Lyanna, and said in a very angry tone: "The damn people of the valley should have their necks bitten off by the White Walkers! That villain Ushur thought that as long as he divorced Miss Lyanna, he would marry the shameless widow noble By getting married, you will become a member of the valley nobility. The Kleb family does not dare to retaliate and can only swallow their anger."

Lyanna nodded sadly, yes, that's what the damn guy thought.

Green rubbed his brows and looked directly at Lyanna: "Cousin Lyanna, everyone in Whispering City has never forgotten your contribution, and you are my family. Your room has remained the same since you got married. , there are special people cleaning it, it’s like you have never left this home.”

Green, as a lord, expressed his attitude. Suddenly, Lyanna's eyes filled with enthusiasm: "Green..."

Lyanna was very uneasy all the way. Green was only eleven years old when she got married, shy and thin.

Green's mother had passed away, and Green, whose memory was much blurred, inherited the territory and became the lord. Lyanna did not dare to optimistically imagine Green's attitude towards her after hearing what happened to her.

Lyanna felt that she had lost the face of her family and had no face to face the Grimm, but in the end she found that she had no other place to go except the Whispering City.

Only thinking about the Whispering City, which outsiders derided as the barbarian countryside, could bring Lyanna a sense of security.

So Lyanna came regardless!

The cousin I haven't seen for four years has grown up, and his calm demeanor is reassuring.

Green reached out and gently held Lyanna's slender and cold hand: "Lyanna, this will always be your home."

"I want to ask you, will giving you Wu Shou'er's head make you feel better?"
