The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Early in the morning, in a wilderness north of Haiou Town.

The sky is clear blue, and the mountains in the distance are shrouded in morning mist, looming.

The dewdrops on the grass are crystal clear, and the sun shines through the thin morning mist, shining brightly like a golden ocean.

Green Kleb rode his horse back and forth, and behind him was a rectangular military formation composed of 1,000 Kleb spearmen. They wore uniform blue tabards, silver pointed feather helmets, and silver breastplates. . The tips of the thousands of spears pointing to the sky shone with cold light, and the neat formations were majestic.

Green is wearing silver armor with exquisite carvings, and underneath him is a majestic white war horse. The ruby ​​on the hilt of the "Lady of Empty Silence" around his waist is shining brightly, and his blue cloak embroidered with swamp marigolds is blowing in the wind. wave.

The sun was dazzling, and Green was like a knight walking out of a ballad.

Green stared ahead. A few hundred meters away were hundreds of cavalrymen flying the flag of the Alliance of Justice.

After a pause, Green kicked the horse's belly lightly, and the war horse under him paced forward. Upon seeing this, the flag officer holding Kleb's flag followed closely behind.

…………

Count Yohn Royce looked serious. His deep eyes glanced at the other members of the Alliance of the Righteous, then he kicked his horse's belly and rode in the direction of Green with the flag officer.

…………

Facing the refreshing breeze, Green raised his head slightly, and silently recited in his heart: As high as glory... As high as glory... As high as glory...

In an open space between the Alliance of the Righteous and Kleb, Bronze Yohn saw a young knight with clear eyes but an air of determination.

Yohn Royce wears bronze armor engraved with magic charms. Even though his hair is gray and his face is weathered, his eyes are still sharp.

At this time, Green showed that he was a glorious knight, no matter his appearance or demeanor.

The gray eyes of Bronze Jonvar couldn't help but tremble slightly. He even sighed in his heart, how could such an outstanding knight be born in the barbaric Crab Claw Peninsula? ! This thought was extinguished by him as soon as it appeared. He did not forget that the person in front of him was the invader of the valley, the avenger of the Bloody Earl.

But...the old Bronze John had to admit that he had a little more favorable impression of the young knight in front of him than before they met.

Green first bowed humbly, and then raised his voice: "Count Royce, I, Green Kleb, Earl of Crab Claw Peninsula and Guardian of Crab Claw Peninsula, arrest and murder Jon Al in the name of King Joffrey. Lord Lin’s murderer—Lysa Tully.”

He held up the parchment with the king's seal in one hand and continued: "By King Joffrey's order, anyone who obstructs the capture of Lysa Tully is a rebel of the kingdom, and King Joffrey will be deprived of it in accordance with the laws of the kingdom. The titles and fiefs of rebels.”

He continued: "His Majesty, Joffrey I of House Baratheon and House Lannister, has given me the title of King in the name of the Andals, the Rhoynar, the First Men, and the Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms. The authority to execute rebels on His Majesty’s behalf.”

Bronze Yohn: "…………"

Green urged the horse to move forward. He handed the king's edict in his hand to Bronze Yohn and said: "Count Royce, please forgive me, I need to know your choice of alliance with the righteous."

Bronze Yohn glanced at the "Ms. Kongji" on Green's waist, and took the king's edict from Green with a complicated expression. He lowered his eyes and looked at the written content.

…………

"Count Kleb, the goals of the Alliance of Justice do not conflict with the king's orders..."

Bronze Yohn handed the king's edict to Green and said, "But as an envoy who shoulders the king's responsibility, you not only committed the crime of invading the valley..."

He reprimanded in a loud voice: "Even allowing the Grafson family to perish, your evil deeds have exposed your selfishness, and you have committed an unforgivable felony!"

"Selfish..."

Green asked: "Earl Royce, if I am selfish, do you think that only the Grafson family has disappeared?"

He added: "You should be very aware of Crab Claw Peninsula's hatred for the valley. If I am selfish, why can other families be fine?"

Bronze Yohn couldn't find a suitable reason for a while, but Green continued: "Without my forcible restraint, how would the people of the Crab Claw Peninsula who ignited the fire of hatred retaliate? Normally, what you see now should be transformed into A scorched earthly hell.”

There was a hint of anger in Green's voice: "Count Royce, I am acting in the name of the king. As a famous knight of the Seven Kingdoms, you should not question the honor of a knight for no reason."

Bronze Jon remained silent, not just because Green's words left him unable to argue. Bronze Jon was thinking about their current lord... This is the trouble caused by the young and weak Duke of the Eagle's Nest... If the lord of the Vale is strong... If there is no chaos caused by Lysa Tully in the Vale... ...Do the vassals of the valley still pay attention to the imp king's orders without passing through the vassal of the valley?

Bronze Yohn had to admit that with the current situation in the valley, whether the Alliance of the Righteous wanted to restore order in the valley as soon as possible, or to maintain the Arryn family's rule over the valley, at least until the Duke of Eagle's Nest came of age, the valley would It cannot do without the support of the Red Fort.

…………

The wrinkles on Bronze Yohn's forehead deepened, and he said coldly: "Count Kleb, Sir Lynn Cobrella was ordered by the Alliance of the Just to inquire about the situation in Seagull Town in advance."

He glanced at the "Ms. Kongji" on Green's waist, and continued: "Did they also commit rebellion..."

Green interrupted: "Honorable Earl Yohn Royce, the snoop you call suddenly attacked the king's army."

Bronze Jon opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Green asked: "Please don't question the honor of the knight for no reason. Do you need me to swear to the gods to prove it?"

Bronze Yohn knew Sir Lyn's temper very well, or he had some understanding of what Green said.

Bronze Yohn is a proud lord. The constant "failures" in words made him a little irritated. He said directly: "Count Kleb, no matter how beautiful your words are, you can't change the fact that you have occupied Seagull Town."

After a pause, he continued: "On behalf of the Alliance of the Righteous, I hope your army will withdraw from Seagull Town in the valley immediately, otherwise..."

Green raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Will the army in the valley send me away personally, Count Royce?"

Bronze Jon's eyes became sharp: "Count Kleb, you can execute the so-called guilty people according to the king's order and the laws of the kingdom, but you have no reason to continue to occupy the land in the valley! The tens of thousands of cavalry in the valley will never Will tolerate intruders!”

After a moment of silence, Green said: "Count Royce, as the ruler of the Crab Claw Peninsula, I am more worried that the one hundred thousand hunters on the Crab Claw Peninsula will use the valley as their hunting ground for revenge."

Sighing helplessly, he looked at the tense-faced Bronze Yohn: "Although Kleb is the ruler of the Crab Claw Peninsula, do you think I can continue to control the ten backlogs of the Crab Claw Peninsula? The fire of hatred for several years? Could it be that... for the sake of peace in the valley, I have to seal off my territory? If I really do this... will the Kleb family still be the ruling family of the Crab Claw Peninsula? "

Green shrugged: "What's more, Kleb is one of the biggest victims of the suppression by the valley nobles for more than ten years."

He spread his hands and said: "As the Earl of Crab Claw Peninsula, I order my soldiers not to burn Seagull Town, or even the villages near Seagull Town. This is the greatest kindness I can do."

Green's eyes flashed with an unconcealed coldness: "Count Royce, I am not doing this because Kleb has forgotten his hatred for the valley. I am just following the justice and compassion of the knight's character."

The two stared at each other, paused, and Bronze John solemnly placed his right hand on his chest and said: "Earl Green Kleb, you are a knight of excellent character. I apologize to you for my presumptuous suspicions before. .”

After speaking, he nodded slightly towards Green.

Green took a deep breath, his voice trembled slightly, and he saluted with his hands on his chest: "Count Yohn Royce, it is the honor of my life to be praised by you."

…………

As the sun rises, the mist dissipates and the view becomes wider.

The breeze blows by, carrying the fragrance of flowers and plants, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Green and Bronze Yohn both looked at the charming mountains in the morning light.

After a while, Green withdrew his gaze and suddenly said: "Count Yohn, the Red Castle hopes that I can stay in the valley. I think with your wisdom, you should be able to guess the purpose of the Red Castle."

His tone was sincere: "So, I need a good reason that will not only allow me to leave here, but also allow me to convince the Red Fort."

Bronze Yohn's eyes moved slightly, but he still looked into the distance and murmured: "Lannister's Red Keep..."

Green looked at Bronze Yohn and said seriously: "Earl Yohn, I am honest with you, because of the long-term blockade and suppression, the current Crab Claw Peninsula is actually very poor. I know very well that the current Crab Claw Peninsula needs to be Cultivation, instead of living in hatred... I want to take this opportunity to eliminate the hatred of the Crab Claw Peninsula towards the valley, but I need your help."

Bronze Yohn pulled the reins, turned to Green with a pair of deep eyes, and said, "Earl Green, do you have any idea?"

Green nodded slightly and said: "I'll be honest with you, I actually had this idea before entering the valley..."

After a pause, he continued: "We borrow the tradition of knights to resolve hatred."

There was some doubt in Bronze Yohn's eyes, and Green continued: "Let's agree on a time to have a duel between the hunters of the Crab Claw Peninsula and the valley cavalry, and eliminate the hatred with a knight-like and upright war."

After listening to Green's words, the first thing Bronze Yohn thought of was the martial arts tournament. He frowned and said, "A duel? What kind of duel?"

Before Green could speak, Bronze Jon said again: "War...what do you mean..."

Green tapped his chin. He first told about the tradition of "fighting" on the Crab Claw Peninsula (Chapter 5), and then said: "..., through such a war, no matter who loses or wins, hatred will be wiped out."

The wildlings of Crab Claw Peninsula want to challenge the cavalry of the valley on the plains? With those spears? What is the difference between this and seeking death? ! The nobles of the valley have a deep-rooted "disdain" for the Crab Claw Peninsula. Strictly speaking, this can be regarded as some kind of tradition.

After listening to Green's words, Bronze Yohn showed a look of contempt as if due to some kind of conditioned reflex. Although it passed briefly, it did not escape Lord Green's eyes.

Bronze Yoen coughed lightly and said, "Where are the number of people?"

Green shook his head slightly and said: "There is no limit on the number of people. In the name of the guardian of the Crab Claw Peninsula, I will inform every citizen of my territory that anyone who wants revenge can participate. I will not limit them, because only in this way can we Literally quench the fire of hatred.”

Bronze Yohn stared at the clear-eyed Green for a while, and said thoughtfully: "Earl Green, the Red Castle may have misunderstood the battle between the valley and the Crab Claw Peninsula."

Although Bronze Yonn has a slight affection for Green's knightly heart, he is still wary of Green, and he does not trust the Red Keep in the hands of the Lannister.

With the Lannister's insidiousness, it is entirely possible that when the Vale Knights defeat the Crab Claw Peninsulars, they will be slandered.

As for... is it possible for Crab Claw Peninsula to win? How can this be!

Therefore, Bronze Yohn only considers things after the Valley Knight wins.

…………

Green pulled out a piece of parchment from the bag hanging on the saddle. He handed it to the bronze Yorn and said, "Sir Yorn, please look at this... This thing is the reason why I persuaded the Red Castle."

This is a war letter written in the name of resolving the hatred between the valley and the Crab Claw Peninsula... Read on... Bronze Yohn's brows gradually relaxed.

After reading, the keen Green felt a hint of offense from the way Bronze Yohn looked at him. He seemed to be looking at an idiot? !

Green showed a gentle smile, and the broad-minded Lord Green was not angry at all!

Bronze Yohn slightly nodded his chin towards Green. He had not seen such a pure knight in a long time!

Green raised his chin slightly, showing the high spirits of a young man: "Earl Yohn, if the Crab Claw Peninsula is defeated, my soldiers will immediately withdraw from Seagull Town."

Bronze Yohn seemed to have won the victory: "Lord Green, after the war, I will give you Lysa Tully and take her back to the Red Keep."

…………

First, Green sealed it, and then Yoon Royce, the leader of the Alliance of the Just, stamped the letter of war written by Green on behalf of the Valley Knights.

At this point, under the witness of the gods in the sky, the battle between the two sides has been completed.

50 days later, right here, the Crab Claw Peninsula and the Valley will battle it out.

…………

Green and Bronze Yohn nodded goodbye. He pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and walked towards Kleb's military formation.

As high as glory... As high as glory... As high as glory... Well, this can be stopped.

Sitting on the horse, Green looked up at the sky... Next, he would help the Alliance of the Righteous spread today's news, so that every Valley Knight would know that the Crab Claw Peninsula has made a war with them.

Green tugged on the reins and adjusted the horse's direction.

As a last resort, Lord Green wanted to fight to break the backbone of the Vale Knight.
