The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

The sound of the city gate being knocked open was particularly harsh in the silent night. The Seagull Town guards from the tower rushed over in a hurry, but the enemies they faced - soldiers in blue robes were extremely brave, and they fell in a pool of blood one after another. among.

Under the soft moonlight, patches of blue shadow spread towards the city.

The shouts of the soldiers, the clash of swords and shields, and the whistling of arrows were intertwined, blood splattered, and life was fleeting!

"Whoever holds the sword, kill!"

"Whoever holds the sword, kill!"

"Whoever holds the sword, kill!"

The unified battle cry of the Kleb soldiers made the soldiers of Seagull Town, who were almost on the verge of collapse, even more losing their will to fight.

Phew! Phew! The companions who had been together day and night fell one by one. A certain Seagull Town soldier couldn't stop shaking, and the spear in his hand fell to the ground.

Similar scenes were repeated in the city.

But...the fire of revenge among the soldiers of the Crab Claw Peninsula has been ignited. Only a few of the Seagull Town soldiers who threw away their weapons and gave up resistance were lucky enough to survive.

The hatred that has been accumulated for more than ten years is being vented. It is more like a kind of barbarism. Westeros advocates blood repayment.

Green Kleb holds the Whip of Vengeance, and all the people of Crab Claw Peninsula are waiting for their lord to lead them in revenge. ,

Only kill the one who holds the sword, this is the battle cry set by Green in front of the station. This is the greatest mercy that Lord Green can do.

…………

Bodies and broken weapons gradually piled up in the alleys of Seagull Town, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

The soldiers of the Crab Claw Peninsula hold high the swamp marigold flag that represents Kleb. Years of training have made them accustomed to top-down orders, which to a certain extent restrains their fire of revenge.

At least, the Crab Claw Peninsula soldiers didn't have enough time to break into a certain house hehehe.

What...are you fast? According to the territorial laws set by Green, those who leave the team without authorization during the battle will be killed without mercy.

Likewise, defenders of the territory's laws during battles also receive military honors.

The higher the military merit, the richer the reward from the lord.

Kleb's territorial laws are as cold as winter and as warm as summer.

…………

boom! Amidst the exclamations of both men and women, the door of the Lord's Hall of Seagull Town was opened, and Kleb's retainer Knight Per Pili and his men in blue robes rushed in.

Earl Grafson sat high on the lord's chair, surrounded by the frightened clansmen.

Although Earl Grafson tried to remain calm, he could not control his body shaking.

His voice was trembling: "You are committing a crime!"

The maester of Seagull Town stood up straight and shouted: "You are robbers! I will accuse you of your crimes to King Joffrey and Duke Robert!"

Everyone seemed to have regained their courage and started shouting.

Sir Pell held the blood-red sword and strode over. Then there was a flash of cold light. The bachelor's head rolled weakly to the side. The headless neck opened horribly, and blood spurted out instantly.

Buzz!

The bloody scene was horrifying. The Grafson tribesmen looked at this scene in disbelief, and the air in the hall seemed to freeze.

How dare he? !

Their eyes were full of helplessness, not knowing how to face this cruel scene; they did not dare to speak out, for fear that their voices would break the silence and cause misfortune.

Earl Grafson said tremblingly: "I can pay the ransom!"

He was answered with suffocating silence.

Tap~tap~tap~tap~ In the strange silence, the sound of footsteps on the stone slab was extremely loud.

"Good night, Count Grafson?"

Green, who was wearing silver armor, said as he walked slowly over, and the blue robes all made way for their lord.

Only then did Earl Grafson notice the coat of arms of the Marsh Marigold, and he seemed to be slightly relieved.

But as Green got closer and closer to him, Earl Grafson moved uneasily in his chair. He sensed greater danger from the person in front of him.

Earl Grafson's Adam's apple rolled a few times and said: "K... Count Kleb, this is the valley of the Aylin family! You are invading!"

After a pause, he added: "I hope you leave immediately! Otherwise... otherwise..."

Tap~tap~tap~tap~ Green stepped on the stairs and came to Earl Grafson.

Green looked at the people surrounding the Lord's chair and said casually: "What else?"

Earl Grafson: “…………”

After a moment of silence, he showed his pride as the ruler of Seagull Town: "Count Kleb, don't you understand what crime you are committing now? Not only the Red Castle and the Eagle's Nest, but also the entire Seven Kingdoms Your sins will be tolerated.”

After a pause, he softened his tone and said: "If you are willing to leave now, I promise that I will not pursue your crimes tonight, and Seagull Town will open the door to Whispering Castle."

He showed a reluctant smile: "The friendship between the Grafson family and the Kleb family begins tonight!"

Green raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "The noble Grafson family is actually willing to establish friendship with a semi-savage family?"

He chuckled softly and said, "Do you like to exchange your own blood for so-called friendship?"

Grafson's heart trembled, and he said: "I promise, I can swear to the gods, Count Kleb!"

Green raised his eyes and looked at the burning tower flag hanging behind the lord's chair, and said leisurely: "Count Grafson, I am not here for hatred..."

"Lord Green!" The urgent voice of Layton's young housekeeper suddenly came.

Green's eyes moved slightly and he made a gesture. Kleb's little butler hurriedly stepped onto the steps and came to his side.

With suppressed excitement on his face, Layton whispered into Green's ear, and Lord Green's ears twitched.

The Grafson family is the ruling family of Seagull Town, so the treasury of Seagull Town is also the treasury of the Grafson family.

Littlefinger Petyr Baelish once served as the tax collector of Gulltown, and with his shrewdness, he knew the location of the treasury of Gulltown well.

On the night when Green "sent off" Petyr to leave King's Landing, when he heard Green's curiosity, he just smiled meaningfully and truthfully told him the information about the treasury in Seagull Town.

Tonight's "Blue Clothes Crossing the Sea", Layton's young butler's task is to guard the treasury of Seagull Town.

Why is Leiden eager to meet his lord?

After Layton looked through the blood-stained ledger, he was excited and frightened at the same time.

…………

Millions of golden dragons? ! Green's brown eyes trembled slightly.

Green had to admit that his status as a poor lord limited his imagination... When he received material support worth half a million gold dragons from Highgarden, Lord Green no longer pursued the golden dragon so urgently, because he had already He exceeded the goals he set for himself.

Just now, Green's little butler told him in a trembling voice that there were millions of gold dragons in several vaults in Seagull Town...

Hiss~ There are so many...how to spend them all? !

Seagull Town is truly one of the five major cities in Westeros!

Green raised an eyebrow and looked at Layton: How many millions specifically?

Leiden was not sure, he blinked: Four to five million?

…………

Green looked at Count Grafson, who was pretending to be calm... The original plan was to escort Grafson and others to the Red Keep in the name of Lady Lysa's associates to show King Joffrey's military exploits.

But... there are too many golden dragons in Seagull Town! Although millions of golden dragons are now in his pocket, in theory they belong to the Grafson family. These golden dragons are engraved with the invisible burning tower emblem.

Therefore, both the journey of escorting Grafson and the others to the Red Keep and their arrival at the Red Keep were full of variables.

Green looked at the retainer knight standing below and said, "Pell, take them down."

Amidst various voices, Grafson and the others were roughly led out of the hall by the blue-robed soldiers.

Sir Pell took off his helmet, crossed his arms with one hand, and asked Green: "My lord, what should we do with those people?"

"In the name of the king..."

As he spoke, Green stretched out his hand and made a beheading gesture.

The golden dragon without its master will soon be engraved with the invisible swamp marigold emblem.

…………

Green sat on the Lord's Chair in Seagull Town and tapped the armrests carved in the shape of seagulls with his fingers.

He owed only a few million for more than ten years... Rich man Green suddenly felt that Robert I was not too extravagant.

Green's eyes trembled slightly... Can as many golden dragons buy as many supplies? This is impossible because the limited productivity of Westeros brings limited material volume.

Things are more expensive when they are rare. If Green purchases a large amount of an item, the price of that item will increase later.

So...again, how should I spend so many golden dragons? !

…………

Early the next morning, Seagull Town, one of the five major cities in Westeros, hung Kleb's flag.

Some bold men and women began to walk out of their houses and carefully inquire about the situation outside.

They found that except for a few more patrolling blue robes, it seemed to be no different from usual.

But the smell of blood in the air and the thirsty blood stains on the ground told them that a fierce battle had indeed taken place in this city.

At dawn, more and more people were walking through the streets, and the whole city seemed to be waking up.

"I heard that we will be under the control of barbarians from now on, God bless us!"

"barbarian?!"

"Shhh, don't be so loud, I heard they can eat people when they are hungry!"

"Yes, I've heard that too, they especially love to eat children!"

"Oh, gods bless my child, oooooh!"

"Shh, try not to go out recently. Duke Aylin will definitely send troops to drive away the barbarians. Then everything will be fine..."

"Hey, stop talking, let's go there quickly!"

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Everyone in the Grafson family is dead! Their heads are hanging on the city gate!"

"Oh, isn't that our governor? Gods..."

"Hurry up, you might not be able to see it if you go late!"

"That's right, let's go quickly! Let's go there quickly!"

…………

As news of the death of the Grafson family spread, the nobles, merchants, and mercenary representatives of Seagull Town gathered at the entrance of the Lord's Hall to loudly protest against Kleb's atrocities.

At noon, Lord Greene personally received these indignant representatives of Seagull Town. He very patiently explained the Grafson family's crimes.

What was Grafson's crime?

Green's explanation is that the Grafson are not only allies of Lady Lysa, but they are also openly opposed to King Joffrey's claim to the Iron Throne.

Moreover, Grafson not only refused to see the Red Fort envoys who came with good intentions, but even used force to expel them.

Therefore, Green captured them in the name of the king, but Grafson resisted with force and had to execute them.

Green thought he was speaking well, but dozens of representatives from Seagull Town all said... We don't believe it.

Lord Greene maintained a gentle expression and tone, listened patiently to the representatives' questions, and explained the legality of the execution over and over again.

The delegates spent the entire afternoon firmly rejecting Green's invitation to the party, and they left still indignant.

The next day, too.

On the third day, it was still the same.

In the early morning of the fourth day, 2,000 blue robes entered Seagull Town according to Green's order, and the city ushered in a brutal and bloody massacre.

For the first time, when the total number of golden dragons in the vault reached 6 million, Green withdrew his soldiers.

Greene met with a slightly smaller number of Gulltown deputies, but he read hatred in their eyes.

The second time, when the number of golden dragons in the vault reached 8 million, Green once again met with the representatives of Seagull Town, whose number was nearly half smaller. Green sensed their forbearance.

For the third time, when the number of the treasury reached 9 million, the representatives of Seagull Town took the initiative to meet Earl Green, and he felt some kind of love from them.

…………

Green still had a gentle face and tone, and he personally sent the Seagull Town representatives, who were nearly two-thirds smaller than when they first met, to the door.

When their figures gradually disappeared, Green looked at the retainer knight who was following him and said: "Pell, you can stop."

Pell, who always had a serious face, showed a rare unnatural smile, caressed his chest and saluted: "My lord, I am always at your disposal."

Green seemed to be hearing hallucinations - Per Pili's loyalty was increased by one.

Green reached out and patted Pell on the arm and said, "Go ahead, the curfew will continue, and our war has just begun."

After the retainer knight left, Lord Greene paced and rubbed his jet-black hair. The simple Crab Claw Peninsula soldiers loved killing the most... let alone a battle of revenge.

Green's mind is racing. He must find a balance here, because his goal is to dominate the entire valley.

After a while, the young housekeeper from Leiden came to report: "My master, they are all here and waiting for your summons."

Due to Kleib's reorganization, Seagull Town lost many big businessmen, and he planned to "promote" some small businesses to fill the vacancies in the market.

In the first payment, the generous Lord Green took out 1 million gold dragons and prepared to issue interest-free loans to reputable but weak trading houses in order to restore the prosperity of Seagull Town as soon as possible.

The bleeding stopped and the cake sharing was about to begin.

New people fill the places of old ones, and the Lord's Hall of Gulltown is filled with laughter.
