The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Slowly scanning the northern part of the valley on the map, Green continued: "The population of the Crab Claw Peninsula is limited, and our soldiers cannot withstand the consumption of siege warfare."

He added: "Amparo, the mission of the Thorn Corps is also to let those mercenaries do their best."

Amparo Thornes nodded and said seriously: "Sir, I will take good care of them."

guard? Green turned his head to look at Amparo, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Well, I'm done."

The old knights in the valley were exhausted by Kleb. The main obstacle to the subsequent advance in the northern region was the castle built in a dangerous place.

After the war came the question of governance in the valley. Governance requires patience, but legal authority needs to be established as soon as possible.

Green pointed his finger at King's Landing on the map. The valley was not the Crab Claw Peninsula. If he went to the Red Keep, Dany would need to be in charge of the Eagle's Nest, and only she could do that.

Also... although the population of Crab Claw Peninsula is small, the Blood Gate, Gate of the Moon and Eagle's Nest City need to relocate some people from Crab Claw Peninsula. The military and political value here is too important... and Seagull Town, these places Must have a firm grip.

Green pinched his chin. The direct territory of the Eyrie City must first promote the farm based on Kleb's Law... Dany is a novice in politics after all. Will she be under too much pressure?

It seems...it has to be combined with the micro-management of the Crow King Green.

Also...increase the number of people migrating from the Crab Claw Peninsula and reduce the difficulty of Dany's governance in the valley.

As he thought about it, Lord Greene's mind wandered a little, and he thought about the problem of more women than men in the Crab Claw Peninsula... Maybe land rewards could be used to tempt strong men to "marry" spear wives from the Crab Claw Peninsula? If it is implemented...it must be carefully arranged, and this matter cannot conflict with military merit.

It's not easy to be a ruler, and it's even harder to be the ruler of a large territory. He misses the time in Whispering City a little bit.

Seeing that the lord seemed to be deep in thought, Emparuo stood aside silently and did not disturb him. The tent was silent for a while.

Not long after, Green withdrew his thoughts and continued to arrange military affairs with Amparo.

…………

"Leave these places to Sir Pell. I have transferred enough soldiers, horses and mercenaries to him."

"To the east...is our next destination the Longbow Hall, my lord?"

"Well, I heard..."

During the discussion, the voice of the messenger suddenly came from the direction of the camp entrance: "Lord Green, a letter from Mermaid Port."

Mermaid Harbor? Green raised his eyebrows slightly and took the letter. He glanced at the seal on the seal, then opened it and read it.

Green's eyes trembled slightly. One of Stannis's fleets violated their neutrality agreement and actively invaded Kleb's territory.

His fingers tapped the armrests of the chair one by one... Melisandre... The Wall... needed support.

Green looked at Amparo: "In the next battle, if the rebels lay down their weapons, we can give them the opportunity to put on black clothes, Sir."

…………

Two days later, Lucas Corbray of Hearts City [brother of Lord Leonor Corbray (died in Chapter 247) and Ser Lyn Corbray (died in Chapter 220)] attacked Clay Bo expressed his determination to fight to the death.

Then, the valley mercenaries hired by Kleib launched an attack on Ansu City. Although there were less than 200 defenders in the city, they held on for three full days before the city was breached. The casualties of the mercenaries who attacked the city reached nearly a thousand.

Lucas of the Corbray family was killed in battle. After this battle... the historic Corbray family was declared dead, and Lord Green had to... incorporate Antarctica into the direct territory of the Eyrie City, and join the Kleb Legion A three-centurion was selected from among them to serve as the garrison captain of Ansu City.

After a brief reorganization, Green led his troops to march eastward. His next target was the Longbow Hall where only the old and weak Hunter family remained.

During the march, the head of the Malkor family in Old Anchorage (a coastal city in the eastern part of the valley, located east of Iron Oak City and south of Longbow Hall) took the initiative to come to meet Green with his heir and three daughters and swear allegiance. Then, the troops of House Malkor joined Green's army in conquering Longbow Hall.

At about the same time, another Krab regiment led by Kleb's retainer knight, Per Pili, captured Hongge City, which is located northwest of the Eagle's Nest City. Their next target was the last two in the northern part of the valley. Important cities: Snakewood City and Coldwater City.

…………

At the West Pier of Seagull Town, Lake Snow (Chapter 101) is walking with his men in the cabin of a 300-row battleship. This huge ship was purchased by Green in Braavos through the Iron Bank... It is the first of nine battleships and will become the flagship of Kleb's fleet in the future.

Although Lake prefers the sea, he is also jealous of the military exploits obtained by Kleb's soldiers in the Battle of the Valley.

Today... after meeting "Big Baby", Lake's mood became better and better. This was his favorite.

Lake could already imagine the majestic appearance of this huge ship in the wind and waves, and he couldn't wait to try it out.

After the sailors were in place, Lake shouted from the bridge: "Get ready to set sail!"

In the dungeons of Riverrun, Jaime Lannister sat on the ground with his legs stretched out, leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.

James's once bright blond hair has now become dirty and greasy, covering his forehead; his once handsome face has now become pale and thin, covered with stubble; his once strong body has now become weak Weak; the once gorgeous clothes were now tattered and stained.

The cell where he stayed was filled with an unpleasant smell, and James' high-spirited image was gone.

"Hey, tall and mighty brother, it looks like you're doing well." Tyrion's voice sounded outside the iron gate.

Hearing the sound, James, who was asleep, suddenly opened his eyelids. He looked at it for a while and then said: "Tyrion?"

Tyrion grinned across the iron bars: "Ser Jaime, you are not dreaming. What you saw was indeed the Lannister giant, your favorite lion brother."

The iron chains nailed to the wall and connected to James's hands and feet were shaking, and he still said in disbelief: "When did you arrive? It's very dangerous here, why did you come here?" "

"Uh~~" Tyrion let out a long burp full of alcohol.

Tyrion leaned against the iron fence, his head slightly tilted, and said: "Don't worry, I will answer them one by one, my brother. I have been here for several days, five days or seven days... I have been here for the past few days. While I was busy trying to please Lord Edmure of Riverrun, when I thought my tongue was about to break, he finally agreed to my request to meet you."

He grinned: "I took in dozens of homeless girls on the road. They are very popular in Riverrun. Maybe I relied on their hard work... to get this opportunity, Ed. Mr. Mu also likes them very much. Although he is hiding it, I can see it...well, we both have the same hobbies, I am just more direct...a little bit."

"As for why I came..."

Tyrion scratched his cheek with a finger and said: "This is Lord Tywin's order. He ordered me to talk to Little Runwolf about your 'ransom'. Also, I was forced to be kind." My father put his sword on my neck, and I came over willingly."

Ser Jaime couldn't help but laugh: "Thank you for coming, Tyrion."

Tyrion smiled and said: "I heard about you from Edmure, and it was because my plan was not thorough enough (Chapter 230) that I let you move in..."

He looked at the dirty cell and continued: "Well, the environment here is not bad... Lord Edmure is a good man. I love him to death, my brother."

Sir Jaime shook his head and said: "Tyrion, I only hope that you can completely forget how I look now."

Tyrion chuckled and said, "When you can't remember, I won't forget to remind you that I am a good brother, Brother James."

Looking left and right, Tyrion lowered his voice slightly: "The boy who calls the shots here is the boy who claims to be the King of the North. I have inquired and he will arrive at Riverrun soon. You still need to stay for a few days. "

After looking around again, he continued: "Edmure Tully has promised me to improve your treatment. James, you must take this opportunity to take good care of yourself. We must prepare for the worst."

Sir Jaime nodded silently at first, and then said: "Tyrion, don't take risks. I would rather be locked up here than see anything happen to you because of me."

After a pause, he said seriously: "Promise me, Tyrion, my brother."

Tyrion waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I am a Lannister with a heart as cold as winter. Just wait for my good news."

James smiled and shook his head. Just as he was about to speak, there were thumping footsteps.

"I heard that Lord Hoster Tully is dying. Get well." Tyrion finished quickly and took steps forward.

As he walked, he said loudly: "Jaime Lannister, stay well, I will ransom you with King Robb as soon as possible."

After Tyrion's figure disappeared, Sir Jaime withdrew his gaze and leaned against the wall. He could still vaguely hear the voices of Tyrion and others.

…………

The sun outside the dungeon was dazzling, and Tyrion said with a pair of thick dark circles under his eyes: "Lord Edmure, you mean... His Majesty Robb will enter Riverrun soon?"

Edmure Tully, who looked haggard, shrugged and said, "The news just came that my nephew is already near Riverrun."

Tyrion rolled his eyes slightly and said, "It's a bit sudden, but it's good news for me and a surprise for you."

Edmure hesitated for a moment and said: "Lord Tyrion, I don't want Robb to know that I allowed you to meet Ser Jaime privately. I hope this is a secret."

Tyrion did not ask the reason. He sincerely promised: "Of course, this is just a small matter. I can't thank you enough. Lannister will pay his debts."
