Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

Chapter 122 Renly
Crack, crack!
咴儿~~
The brightly lit camp of Renly's army was filled with the clatter of armor and the neighing of horses.

At this moment, the sky is faintly white, and it is not far from dawn.The aristocratic families in the Reach and the Stormlands are constantly scrambling for the weapons and equipment of the barracks and a large amount of military food and grass.

Most of these supplies were provided by the wealthy Highgarden, so the cavalrymen of the Tyrell family had constant friction with soldiers of other families, and even small-scale battles broke out later.

And outside the camp, there are still many nobles of the Stormlands, waiting eagerly for the arrival of their next object of allegiance, His Majesty Stannis.

In the blood-stained king's tent, Renly's body was placed on a long table, and the luxurious crown was placed on his chest.

Margaery was wearing an exquisite rose dress, walking back and forth in the king's tent frowning.

Loras looked at Renly's relatively peaceful corpse with tears in his eyes.

"Loras, we have to get out of here quickly!

The more than 8 soldiers outside have already started looting supplies, and there are still many members of the Florent family who are everywhere trying to persuade them to join Stannis! "

Behind Margaret's beautiful appearance is an equally intelligent brain.She accurately judged the situation at the moment and persuaded her brother.

"Go? No, that's impossible! I want revenge for Renly!

I will gather more than 5 troops from the Reach, and chop Stannis into meat paste! "

Hearing this, Loras immediately drew out his long sword, facing the direction where Stannis was, and issued a declaration of revenge viciously.

"The guards say Renly was killed by Brienne of Tarth! Besides, Father and Lord Randyll Tarly are gathering troops at Highgarden. You never led an army to fight, even if you could gather them in the Reach. Soldiers and horses. Can you beat Stannis who has experienced many battles?
If we don't leave, let alone gather troops, the vassals outside who want to join Stannis will arrest us and dedicate them to him.

Loras, wake up! "

Hearing Loras' unrealistic words, Margaery grabbed her brother's shoulders and shook them vigorously.

"I don't believe Brienne killed him! I've seen Brienne look at him once, and it's the same as me!

Also, with Renly dead, who would gain the most from it?

Stannis! "

While talking about the thoughts in his mind, Loras walked to Renly's body and put down the long sword, knelt down on one knee, stroked Renly's face, and continued,

"He could have become the only king of the Seven Kingdoms, a wise and benevolent king!"

"Loras, he is indeed a wise and merciful king. If you really want to avenge him, let us gather the troops of the Reach now and return to Highgarden.

Otherwise, before Stannis comes, you will be chopped into corpses by those rebels.

When the time comes, you lie in the cold tomb, and Stannis still smiles on the throne.

Is this... the result you want? "

Margaery came to Loras' side, reached out and stroked her brother's soft brown hair, and softly spoke words of comfort.

Sure enough, Margaret's thoughtful words moved Loras.

Before he stood up, he kissed Renly lightly on the forehead, and said to his sister, "I'm going to gather troops and prepare to leave now. But... I'm going to take him too!"

"Of course, his body must be taken away!
By the way, Loras, we don't want those weapons and supplies.Anyway, there is no shortage of these in High Court. "

Margaery nodded, and answered to her brother.

Loras nodded, gave Renly a lingering look, turned and walked out of the king's tent to gather soldiers loyal to Highgarden.

Margaery saw him walk out of the king's tent and walk over to Renly's body.

She looked at her king, her husband in name, with a contemptuous smile on her lips, and said to herself, "Oh, you are both a handsome husband and a king with noble blood flowing in your body. The perfect candidate!

Even if it's my brother you like, I don't mind, because I just want to be a real queen.

But, you are dying so humblely now, what have you made of me?

Renly, watch!I will definitely be the only queen of the Seven Kingdoms! "

As Renly's captain of the Kingsguard, Loras did not lead troops to fight, but he did other things in an orderly manner.

After a while, he assembled the more than 5 soldiers and horses loyal to Gaoting in the river bend.

Most of the nobles in the Stormlands are still looting the supplies that Loras does not want. A few, especially the members of the Florens family, are closely watching Loras' actions, and seem to understand that he wants to lead his troops to escape.

However, their numbers were too small, and Stannis hadn't arrived yet, so no one dared to stop Loras' more than 5 troops by force.

Loras and Margaery, two brothers and sisters, took Renly's body and more than 5 Reach soldiers and horses, and galloped towards Highgarden on the Rose Avenue.

After more than an hour, the morning sun first appeared.Stannis led Davos, Melisandre, and Shi Shiran rode to the front of this chaotic army camp.

Outside the camp, most of the nobles from the storm and a small number of the nobles from the river bend were waiting outside to welcome him.

When Stannis approached on horseback, these nobles, big and small, knelt on one knee and swore a very sincere oath of allegiance to him.

Of course, Stannis would not believe that these nobles who surrendered to him immediately after Renly's death, this is a very 'sincere' allegiance.

Even though he wanted to hang all the vassals who had stood by Renly's side from the beginning, but for the more than 2 cavalry and infantry, he could only nod and accept their allegiance blankly.

Although Renly's army is claimed to be one hundred thousand, it is actually only about 5. More than [-] soldiers from the River Bend were brought back to Highgarden by the Loras brothers and sisters.

Five or six thousand soldiers returned to their home territory under the leadership of their respective lords.

The remaining [-] or so troops are composed of most of the stormy nobles and the Florent family of the River Bend.

This time, Renly, the 'giant', fell, and Stannis was instantly eaten from a dwarf to a big fat man.

The total force has increased to about [-]. At the same time, the weapons and equipment and military rations provided by Gaoting are fully sufficient for his recent war needs.

Stannis's army currently has a complete cavalry, infantry, and fleet, plus its own excellent combat command ability, and Melisandre's magic assistance.

He can be said to be the most comprehensive force among the current kings, except for the combined army of the Northern Territory and the Iron Islands.

When Melisandre came to the camp, she didn't know if it was because of magic. She asked Stannis to arrange a relatively remote military tent for her on the grounds that she needed to pray quietly.

After Melisandre left, Davos walked beside Stannis silently, he was always hesitant to speak.

He could clearly see from his gaze that compared with yesterday, Stannis was obviously older today, not only his beard was gray, but even strands of white hair appeared on his temples.

Finally, after entering Renly's once luxurious king's tent, Davos said: "Your Majesty, I think I must talk to you about what I saw in the cave last night."

"I think I made it very clear to you before, you only need to send Mrs. Melisandre, and you don't need to ask about everything else!"

Hearing Davos' words, Stannis replied with a gloomy face.

"But, what price did you pay! Is it worth it? Your Majesty!"

"Most of Renly's vassals are now in my service, save for the Tyrells who fled like cowards.

However, Mace Tyrell alone was no threat.

Soon, I will take King's Landing and sit on the Iron Throne!
Do you think it's worth it? "

Stannis stared at Stafford sharply, his tone full of affirmation for himself, about to win the Iron Throne.

"Your Majesty, even if it's for the Iron Throne, I don't think it's worth it..."

"Okay, I don't want to talk about it anymore!"

Steiff, who insisted on his own beliefs, still wanted to continue talking.It can be interrupted by Stannis' direct and unkind words.

"Your Majesty, when shall we set off for King's Landing?"

Seeing that Stannis was really angry, Stafford could only suppress his emotions and change the subject.

"Wait for us to integrate the 5000-[-] army first!
At that time, first solve the pitifully small defensive fleet of the Heishui River in Junlin City, and then send all the 3 troops to Junlin City, and take Junlin City in one fell swoop! "

Stannis looked at the map placed in the king's tent, and spoke out his battle plan.

"Very good plan, Your Majesty. However, I beg you not to take Lady Melisandre.

Now someone in the army has been rumored, as long as she whispers by your side, you will follow her instructions.

These vassals you paid for from Renly, don't lose them for her sake! "

Stafford kept his eyes on Stannis as he said this, and his voice was earnest and sincere.

"I will arrange for someone to send Lady Melisandre back to Dragonstone, and she will not be with her in the subsequent wars.

I will divide the fleet into two parts and appoint you and my brother-in-law, Imri Florent, as fleet commanders to take charge of my fleet together! "

Stannis looked him in the eyes, mused slightly, and answered with a nod.

"This...Your Majesty! I used to be just a smuggler and never commanded a fleet to fight.

Moreover, those noble adults will not be satisfied! "

Seeing that after Stannis adopted his opinion, not only did he not punish himself, but also appointed himself as the deputy commander of the fleet, Stafford replied with some trepidation.

"This is my army, not theirs! Steve, don't let me down!"

"No, Your Majesty!"

……

The High Court was built of white marble and was protected by three circular walls, also of white stone, each taller and thicker than the previous one, and guarded by slender and elegant round towers.

On the whole, High Court is both beautiful and strong defensively. It is a relatively perfect castle.

At the highest point of the High Court Inner Fort, in an unusually wide room with a very simple decoration.

Loras and Margaery stood in the center of the room, telling about the changes in Renly's army. Beside them, Duke Mace, who was fat and had a triangular beard, listened with displeasure.

Directly across from them was a skinny old lady in her 60s with silver hair and wrinkled face.While listening, rubbing his soft hands.

Behind her stood a pair of seven-foot-tall (approximately 2.3 meters), muscular twin brothers with deep blue eyes and thick red beards.

"...Then, my brother and I returned to High Court with more than 5 river bend cavalry.

Grandma, do you think I am unlucky?As soon as she won the Queen's crown, she immediately lost it! "

After Margaery finished speaking, she asked the old lady in a coquettish tone.

It turned out that this was Olenna Tyrell, known as the 'Queen of Thorns', the mother of the Duke of Mace, and the grandmother of Loras and Margaery.

"Hey, it seems that my dear granddaughter is going to bear the name of Kefu just like me!"

A smile appeared on Olenna's skinny face, and she did not shy away from using her own affairs to make fun of Margaery.

"grandmother!"

Seeing Olenna speak like this, Margaery's pretty face suddenly collapsed, and she shouted coquettishly.

"Well, well! You're not with this short-lived Renly. I think your brother is more sad than you!"

Olenna stretched out her hand to appease Margaery, then changed the subject of the conversation and brought it back to Loras.

However, Loras had long been used to his grandmother's harsh words, so he just lowered his head and remained silent.

"Hey, let's get back to business! Now that Renly is dead, what do you think we, the Tyrell family, should do next?"

With a light cough, Olenna rubbed the gemstone ring on her thin fingers and asked.

"Regroup, kill Stannis, and avenge Renly!"

Hearing Olenna's question, Loras immediately raised his head and replied viciously.

When Olenna heard his words, she rolled her eyes, ignored his opinion, and turned her gaze to Margaery.

"Renly is dead, but there is no shortage of kings in Westeros now. We should keep looking for alliances!
Stannis, there is absolutely no way we could ally with him.Then there are the Stark family and the Lannister family. "

Margaery's thinking was very clear, and she spoke aloud about the choice now before the Tyrell family.

Olenna nodded noncommittally, and finally looked at her son, Duke of Metz.

"Mother, I think that in the current war between the Stark family and the Lannister family, it is not clear who is the winner.

But in the end they were sure that there were not many troops left.

I think we should wait in High Court and see the situation clearly before making a decision.

As for Stannis, if he dares to lead an army to trouble us, I will lead the army of the Reach myself and crush him! "

When the Duke of Metz saw his mother looking at him, he immediately talked freely, as if pointing the country.

Pop, pop, pop!
As soon as the Duke of Metz finished speaking, Olenna applauded him, which made a happy smile appear on his face.

However, after Olenna applauded, she said, "I didn't expect you, the demented Duke of Highgarden, to say such a thing. Who taught you? Is it your wife Ellie?"

Uh!
Cheating in advance, but being pointed out by his mother in public, Duke Metz smiled awkwardly.

But fortunately, all the people present were from their own family, and there were no other outsiders.

"That boy Stannis is a stinky, hard stone. House Florents, our long-standing opponents, have stood by Stannis, and don't even think of an alliance with him.

The little wolf cub of the Stark family has some skills, and even tricked Tywin, and took down Casterly Rock, which had never fallen.

However, the northerners are completely different from the southerners. They can still fight wars, but do they want to be kings who rule the Seven Kingdoms?

too young!

And Tywin is late, he is no longer the mighty lion of the seven kingdoms, and now he can't even protect his own western border. "

Although she has been sitting in the High Court, Olenna has a very thorough view of the current forces of all parties.

No one else spoke, and listened quietly to the speech of the actual controller of the Tyrell family.

"Margaery, you still want to be queen, don't you?"

"Yes, Grandma."

Hearing Olenna's sudden question, Margaery smiled sweetly and replied with a clear voice.

"Is it okay to marry anyone?"

"Well, as long as you think he can become the king of the Seven Kingdoms, then I have no problem."

"Very good! Left hand, bring him in."

Hearing Margaery's answer, Olenna gave orders to the twin guards behind her indifferently.

As soon as she finished speaking, the tall and burly guard on the left walked towards the door.After a while, he brought an eight or nine-year-old black-haired boy into the room.

"Robert Baratheon's bastard son sent by Baelish earlier, his name is now Renly Baratheon.

He was the legalized illegitimate son of Renly I, and he wrote a succession will specifically, listing him as the first heir.

That is to say, he is Lord Renly the Second, Margaery, your new husband! "

what! ! !
Everyone in the room, after hearing Olenna's words, immediately showed expressions of disbelief.

They understood that Olenna was planning to support the puppet king and make her family the actual controller of the Seven Kingdoms.

As for the so-called legalization and succession will, if she said there was one, there would definitely be one!

"The oath that Eddard Stark made in Robert's and his name... As long as he can destroy the Lannister family and kill Joffrey's false king, he can legally obtain the Iron Throne!
How imaginative this is!
We House Tyrell, the glory and power we have longed for, is here before us.

I have already contacted Paxter Redwyne, the Redwyne family will advance and retreat with our Tyrell family, and fight to the end.

Defeat all false kings and win the highest glory together!Just like the Stark family and the Baratheon family back then.

Now, we have sufficient troops, a warehouse full of rations, an inexhaustible amount of gold, and this Renly II.

The inherent pattern of the entire Westeros has been broken, and this is an excellent opportunity for our Tyrell family! "

Olenna's words seemed to be full of magic, and everyone present fell into longing for the future.

Margaery seems to have seen the future, the scene where she is the only queen of the Seven Kingdoms, mother of the world.

Loras seemed to see the future, and he killed Stannis himself to avenge Renly I.

The Duke of Metz seems to have seen the future, and led his army to defeat the false kings of all walks of life, and finally sat on the Iron Throne.

Under such circumstances, the entire Tyrell family agreed with Olenna's general strategy of first supporting the puppet king and eventually replacing it.

In the next few days, countless ravens flew out of Highgarden to crown Renly II and spread the news of Yu Margaery's marriage.

At the same time, there is a questionnaire on the legalization of illegitimate children signed by Renly I Baratheon, and a copied version of his succession will.

Finally, since the Tyrell family wants to establish themselves as kings, dissent is not allowed within the sphere of rule.

The next day, Duke Mace ordered Lando Tarly, who was in Highgarden, to take [-] troops from Hewan to destroy the Florens family in Brightwater City.

The thorn in the side of this long-term opponent and questioning the dominance of the Tyrell family, the thorn in the flesh!
