The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire
Chapter 275 The next battlefield
Ask, what is your experience in ruling the fierce savages of the Crab Claw Peninsula? Lord Green's answer is to be more fierce than them.
Reasoning will not work. Kleb's Law is their code of conduct, and any violation will be severely punished.
Under the strict laws, although he is still fierce on the inside, at least he looks simple on the outside. This is Green's Kleb soldier.
The war horses neighed, and the horse's hooves raised clouds of dust. Green led his tribe to ride towards the spear regiment's garrison.
In front of the camp gate, a dozen law enforcement soldiers wearing white-feathered pointed helmets were in a faint confrontation with the soldiers led by Baron Dreher.
Phew~~A spear flashing with cold light suddenly flew into the open space between the two sides with a whistling sound. The spear penetrated deeply into the ground, and the spearhead was completely buried, leaving only the handle trembling outside.
The ground was shaken by the spears, causing dust to rise, and the surroundings suddenly became silent.
Click, click, click, Green's war horse paced, and the flag officer shouted: "Welcome Lord Green!"
After a pause, the soldiers gathered in front of the camp gate knelt down in Green's direction. Only Baron Drell Keifer slowed down a few beats.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-tat~ Baron Dreher saw muddy horse hooves in his sight, and Green's voice sounded from above: "Dreher Keifer, resisting Kleb's law is a crime of treason."
rebellion? ! Baron Reddell was startled at first, then stood up and looked up at Green sitting on the horse, saying: "Lord Green, Costa and the others fought bravely in the valley. They are the warriors of the Crab Claw Peninsula, the people of the valley. They are spoils of war, they do not deserve the protection of Kleb's Law! I am not treason, I am for justice!"
Green's brown eyes moved slightly and he said: "It seems that you know very well that the people you want to protect have violated Kleb's law."
Baron Raeder opened his mouth and said: "They have military exploits!"
“A war effort is a war effort, but the law is the law.”
Green lowered his eyes and looked at Baron Redl, and said, "Without Kleb, would the little Keifer family be able to appear on the battlefield in the valley?"
Baron Raeder glared: "The Caifer family is hundreds of years older than the Kleb family. When the ancestors of the Caifer family were hunting on the Crab Claw Peninsula, they had not... not yet..."
At the end, his voice became softer, as if he was regretting his impulse.
"Nothing yet?"
Without waiting for Baron Raeder's response, Green added: "Is this the source of your courage to dare to touch Kleb's Law? What a ridiculous reason."
Green glanced at the people kneeling on the ground and said loudly: "I am your lord, and Kleb's Law is my order."
The horse under him was pacing back and forth, and he continued: "So, do whatever I tell you to do. What will be the consequences of violating the lord's order? Have you forgotten?"
"Justiciar Virgil, record."
Green announced: "The Keifer family's disobedience to Kleb's law is tantamount to rebellion. I, Green Kleb, in the name of the Earl of Crab Claw Peninsula and the Guardian of Crab Claw Peninsula, remove the rebel Redel Kever from his position as commander of the regiment. , and deprived the Caifer family of their titles, castles and lands, and their tribesmen were charged with rebellion."
Baron Raeder said in panic: "You, you can't do this!"
After the war sixteen years ago, a teenage pregnant woman became the head of Kleb's family. In addition, he lost his old land, so... Kleb's family was ruined in the eyes of the nobles of the Crab Claw Peninsula.
But...Sixteen years later, they didn't even have time to react. The once poor family suddenly became the ruling family of the Crab Claw Peninsula. For the survival of the family...they had no choice but to succumb to Clayber's military attack and choose to become Clayber. The vassal family of the Bo family.
This year, Kleb led the people of the Crab Claw Peninsula to sweep across the long-hated valley, and their passive surrender gradually turned into willing surrender.
Green Kleb's rewards are still generous, but Kleb's law is like a shackle, tightly binding them.
Among them, the veteran leader of the spearmen, Drell Keifer, had a little selfish desire to test, and then he stood up to excuse a few soldiers who violated Kleb's law.
Otherwise, how could Derrell Keifer, a nobleman of the Crab Claw Peninsula, suddenly feel compassion for those ordinary soldiers?
The test plan is not thorough enough? In fact, the fact that the descendant of the First Men and the semi-savage nobleman of the Crab Claw Peninsula, Drell Keifer, could think of this, compared to other Crab Claw Peninsula nobles... is considered to be extremely intelligent.
The reason why Drell Keifer was able to take the position of commander of the corps was not only to appease the nobility of Crab Claws, but also because Lord Green took a fancy to his... relatively clever mind.
If what happened today had not happened, when the war in the valley ended, according to the military merits...Drell Keifer would have been canonized as an earl and rewarded with a large area of land in the valley, but not...if.
…………
Seeing the law enforcement soldiers surrounding him, Baron Dreyer pulled out the long sword at his waist with a loud noise and shouted: "I am not rebelling!"
"Brennes, use 'Ice' to deal with him for me."
Hearing Green's voice, Brienne, who was carrying the "Ice" sword, nodded and jumped off the horse.
The heads of the Keifer family were solemnly used to consolidate the majesty of Kleb's law and to cool down the temperature of Kleb's army that was leaving the Crab Claw Peninsula for the first time.
The heads of those who break into the manor will be executed in full view of the public. The people of the valley had the impression that the people of the Crab Claw Peninsula were barbarians. They were Lord Green's new subjects. As the ruler of the valley, he needed to provide a sense of security for them who were already uneasy.
In the afternoon of that day, the messenger crow carrying the order to deal with the Keifer family flew to the Crab Claw Peninsula.
Also that afternoon, in addition to executing the criminals, Lord Green arranged for people to compensate the merchant manors who suffered.
At night, Lord Green left the steaming bathtub, put on his robe, and said, "A letter from the Eagle's Nest?"
Brienne handed the dry towel to Green and said: "Maester of Longbow Hall told me that this is a letter from the Red Castle. Maester Erlin of Eyrie City forwarded it using a messenger crow."
Green wiped his hands, picked up the letter, and read it by the candlestick.
This is a handwritten letter from Cersei Lannister. The main content of the letter is that she hopes that Green will return to the Red Keep as soon as possible.
Although Queen Cersei still used arrogant words in her letter, Green could read her uneasiness.
The book describes a longing and a longing, and also hints at the reward she promised in her girl's garden (Chapter 184).
Greene knows Cersei very well, and for her strong personality... this is almost her "help" letter.
Greene had heard the news that Lancel was seriously injured in the Battle of King's Landing, Jaime was still a prisoner, and the old lion was sitting in the Red Keep. Queen Cersei's situation must be very passive.
Green's eyes trembled slightly. Could it be that Duke Tywin and Duke Mace reached an agreement to marry Cersei to Highgarden? Or through certain things...guessed in advance that Lord Tywin planned to arrange her marriage to the Golden Rose?
Putting away the letter, Green paced around the room. He remembered that in the original play, the current Archbishop of the Seven Gods often prayed with the seriously injured Lancel... Lancel became more and more devout to the Seven Gods, and he would pray to the Archbishop of the Seven Gods. The bishop confesses his sins, including those involving Cersei and Robert I. Then, Cersei, who knew about this, would send someone to kill the Archbishop to silence him... Then, the position of Archbishop was succeeded by the High Sparrow, who had been planning to put the power of the church above the power of the royal family.
Also, the Lannister family thing.
"Lord Green." Brienne handed Green a glass of wine.
Green took the wine glass and said, "Thank you, Miss Brienne."
He took a sip of his wine, and when Margaery arrived in King's Landing, things got even more lively.
Also, Dragonstone... He needed to see Melisandre, and he sent the blood of two kings to Winterfell (the two illegitimate sons of Robert I, respectively: Chapter 176, Chapter 259 ).
Green, who proclaims himself the future commander-in-chief of the living coalition, is really looking forward to... Melisandre can use the blood of the king to directly solve the crisis of the White Walkers, but this is just a fantasy.
Calculating one step at a time, Lord Green's main purpose is to prevent Lord Ned, who is resigned to death, from having his brain twitch and lead the entire North to directly pledge allegiance to Stannis. With Robert's bastard son standing between Lord Ned and Stannis, and Melisandre's thirst for the king's blood, it was difficult for both parties to reach a consensus... because Stannis at that time was not the Stannis before. , Melisandre's influence on him will become deeper and deeper.
Green took a sip of summer red. For the future battle between the living and the dead, the North needed stability.
Green left the bathroom, entered the study, and stood in front of the map.
He put down the wine glass in his hand, paused, and said, "Brenne, do you miss the Stormlands?"
That place did not leave her with a pleasant memory... Brienne shook her head silently, and she picked up the flagon and poured wine into the empty cup next to Green.
Green did not pursue the question, but changed the subject and said, "We will go to the Red Fort in a while."
He rubbed his hair and added: "On the way, we will go to Maiden Spring Town."
After a moment of silence, Brienne said, "Lord Green, do you want to leave the valley?"
Green shook the wine glass in his hand and said, "Are you worried about the peace of the valley?"
Seeing Brienne nod, Green said: "My fiancée and the bachelor of Whispering Castle will manage the valley on my behalf."
He rubbed his brows and continued: "Opportunities are rare, and I don't have many choices."
Brienne's clear blue eyes moved slightly, she opened her mouth and said, "Is this the real reason why you drained the blood of the knights of the valley?"
Green smiled and said: "There is no good reason. As I said to you before (Chapter 247), this is a cruel war, and the opportunity is rare."
His fingers rubbed the body of the wine glass: "The Riverland is my next battlefield, and this is also a rare opportunity."
…………
The next day, Green handed over the finishing work of the Longbow Hall to Sir Amparo, and he led the clan soldiers towards the Eagle's Nest City.
…………
…………
"I love the smell of Mermaid Harbor the most. I have fallen deeply in love with it. This is my home."
"You said the same thing in Whispering City."
"Oh, maybe I love them all. I love Master Green's Crab Claw Peninsula so much."
"The Vale will soon be Lord Grimm's land as well."
"..., I love Death Valley too, is this okay?"
"It depends on where Lord Green will arrange us."
"..., do you think that for our contribution this time, can we be canonized as a wealthy knight by Lord Green?"
Proprietary knights refer to sworn knights who have been rewarded with castles and lands by their lords. Under their rule are farmers, blacksmiths and soldiers. Some wealthy proprietor knights even have sworn knights who are loyal to them, but they have no right to do so in their own lands. Justice is upheld on the land, and those who violate the law must be reported to the loyal lord for his decision.
"I feel that our achievements are not as good as those of the valley."
"Oh, Monton, I shouldn't be talking to you about these things."
"An Gai, I'm telling the truth."
A fat and tall figure stood at one of the piers of Mermaid Port. Behind them were a tough old man holding a wooden box in one hand and a middle-aged man who was almost covered with hair.
They have different body shapes, but what they have in common is that they are dressed like beggars who have been wandering for a long time.
Following Green's orders, they went to the Golden Company to bring back the head of Jon Connington: Munton Waters, Ungay, Barristan Selmy, and Jorah Mormont (Chapter 206, 207).
An Gai turned around, grinned, and said, "Welcome to Kleb's territory."
Mengton also naively echoed: "Welcome."
Barristan glanced at the bleak looking dock and said, "Thank you both for the welcome. I hope that we can at least clean up after ourselves before meeting Her Royal Highness. This is the proper etiquette."
Ser Jorah combed his dirty hair back with his fingers and said, "Where should we go now?"
An Gai shrugged and said, "I didn't expect that we successfully escaped pursuit, only to be so embarrassed by the pirates."
He pointed to the tallest building in Mermaid Harbor: "Go there."
On the way to the Government Affairs Office, a group of four people heard Meng Dun's naive voice: "An Gai, there was a battle here not long ago."
An Gai retracted his sharp gaze, nodded, and said: "It seems that the scale is not small."
After walking a few steps, he suddenly sighed: "It's only been a few months, and I feel like... we've missed a lot of credit."
Mengton comforted his friend: "The credit this time will not be small, Ange."
An Gai first glanced left and right, then approached Mengton and lowered his voice: "I even thought about my last name, so I'll call it An Gai. Hehe, as long as my descendants are still alive, my name will only exist."
Mengton blinked his eyes blankly and said: "Angai Angai?"
An Gai showed an excited look and said, "How's it going, Mengton?"
Mengton nodded his head and said, "Not bad, very good."
An Gai looked suspiciously at his friend who was honest on the face but cunning on the inside, and said, "Really good? I want to hear the truth."
Under Ange's questioning, Mengton looked away from the barbecue stall on the roadside with difficulty and replied: "It's indeed good, because it's easy to remember."
An Gai's eyes widened slightly: "It's just easy to remember, so you say it's good?!"
Menton said seriously: "My mother told me that if the first and last names are too long, people will be annoyed."
Ser Barristan Selmy walking behind them: "..."
"You know a lot."
Mengton chuckled.
