Chapter 606 The Sword and the Swordsman 3
Hearing this, Daenerys' beautiful eyes widened slightly: "I remember that the Lord of Winterfell brought the most elite northern cavalry to the Wall."

Although Robb Stark was spurned by the Seven Kingdoms, it had to be admitted that the warlike Young Wolf trampled on the Lannisters' heavily invested army and made a great name for the Northern cavalry.

Therefore, Daenerys was naturally surprised by the news.

At the same time, she was also amazed by the content of another secret letter, coming back to life from the dead...

……

"The battle lasted only two days, with over a thousand Northern cavalry casualties and nearly five thousand casualties on Stannis's side."

Green leaned on the armrest, looked at Daenerys who was reading the letter, and continued: "Stark's food and grass were directly burned. Lord Ned had no choice but to retreat."

Prime Minister Mace stroked his triangular beard, nodded, and said with emotion: "The team led by Florent was too lucky. They found Stark's food camp so easily."

After a pause, Daenerys looked up from the letter and said, "Prime Minister Mace, Stannis is indeed very lucky. His army happened to ambush on the marching route of the Stark army."

Green tapped the armrest of his chair a few times. "The cavalry that Lord Ned sent to support the forage camp was once again stopped by Stannis's army."

Prime Minister Mace frowned and puffed his cheeks. Then his heart trembled and he continued, "Stark had just gathered the defeated soldiers, and Stannis...just happened to launch an attack..."

After a pause, he couldn't help but speculate: "Could there be a spy for Stannis in the Stark army?"

After a brief thought, Green shook his head slightly: "Even if there are Stannis's eyes hidden inside the Starks, they can't deliver the information so promptly."

After a brief silence, Daenerys looked at Green: "Magic?"

Green's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he tapped his chin lightly, saying, "After ruling out all the anomalies, the remaining one must be the truth. Otherwise...how could Stannis have mastered every move of the Stark army?"

magic? !
The raven delivered a handwritten letter from Eddard Stark expressing his loyalty and submission, which actually made Prime Minister Mace extremely angry and ashamed.

He was busy gathering the troops to march north, why did Benlang suddenly become so decisive? !
Whatever means he used, Stannis miraculously defeated the Stark army stationed near the Wall...

If nothing unexpected happens, Winterfell will obviously become one of his regrets.

Fortunately, Stannis, who defeated the Stark army, also had the opportunity to...prove his art of war.

As Prime Minister Mace twirled his beard and imagined his next move, Green's voice came over: "If we only look at the casualties, Stark seems to have won, but in fact he has lost. Stannis has completely occupied the Wall, the Increased Lands, and the large tracts of land adjacent to it."

"Next..."

Green rubbed his brows and said, "The problem Stannis needs to solve is the supply of food and grass. The time that Lord Ned has to regroup his army is the time for him to plunder the northerners."

Prime Minister Mace said in disbelief: "Is he crazy? He will go to the seven levels of hell."

"He has already gone crazy, otherwise he and Stark would not have become sworn enemies." As he spoke, Green's upper body tilted.

He pointed to a location on the map. "Eastwatch by the Sea, where Crabbe's soldiers are stationed, has been surrounded by Stannis, like an isolated island."

Prime Minister Mace's eyes lit up quietly. He left his chair, put his hands on the table, and stared at Donghaiwang's position with a heavy expression.

After a pause, he pursed his lips and said seriously: "If we lose Eastwatch and the sea route...if we want to support Stark, the army and supplies can only choose to land at White Harbor." He pointed his fat finger at the location of White Harbor, slowly moved upwards, and finally stopped at the location of the Wall of Despair: "Such a long distance, coupled with the ice and snow that the southern soldiers are not used to, the march itself will become difficult."

Prime Minister Mace drew a circle between the Wall and White Harbor with his finger and stroked his beard. "King, Queen, I am more worried about... If Stannis is in control of the Stark army's every move, given Lord Eddard Stark's ability, his army may not be able to wait for the reinforcements we send."

Green also stood up. His eyes fell on the map. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Donghaiwang?"

Prime Minister Mace was stunned for a moment, then nodded to Green and said, "Your Majesty, if we want to defeat Stannis in a short time, Eastwatch must not be lost, and Lord Stark is no match for Stannis."

"King Greene, Queen Daenerys."

Hand Mace stroked his chest solemnly. "I offer myself to go to Eastwatch-by-the-Sea at once. I promise that even if Eastwatch has fallen into Stannis's hands, I will take it back and wipe out the remnants of the usurper."

Outside King's Landing, there are more than 20,000 Rose troops stationed and ready to be mobilized at any time. He only needs to wave his hand, use high commissions to summon enough sea transport ships, and then let his eldest son transport food and grass from behind.

As for Count Matus Rowan (Chapter 595), who went north without the permission of his feudal lord, he was simply ignored by Prime Minister Metz.

This opportunity is truly rare, it's time to show the Seven Kingdoms what a great general he is!
……

however.

Green rejected him directly: "It is a risky move to hastily set out on an expedition to Eastwatch. You are the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms, the Duke of Highgarden."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Mace was stunned: "Your Majesty, looking at the Seven Kingdoms, who else but the two of us can defeat Stannis who has mastered the mysterious magic? Your wedding with the Queen is approaching, and this grand ceremony is the focus of the Seven Kingdoms. It cannot be delayed because of the usurper."

Seeing that Green's expression had finally relaxed, he quickly added, "If the rebellion caused by Stannis in the North is not eliminated as soon as possible, it will affect the dignity of the Targaryen Crabbe royal family. Your Majesty, please allow me to fight for you and the Queen. I promise that I will return with honor!"

Green closed his eyes for a moment and turned his head to look at Daenerys who was sitting next to him.

After a pause, Daenerys nodded slightly at him.

Green also nodded his chin at her, then moved his eyes to meet Prime Minister Mace's eager gaze.

"Handholder Mace Tyrell, I agree with your request to fight."

The corner of Prime Minister Mace's mouth curled up immediately. Green raised his hand to stop him from speaking, and then said, "Three things."

He held up a finger. "I will have Asha Greyjoy's fleet escort you. She is an excellent fleet commander, and I trust she can ensure that you and your transport ship reach Eastwatch safely."

His second finger slowly straightened up. "Once the meeting is over, in the name of the King and Queen, I will immediately order the requisition of merchant ships parked at the Blackwater River Docks. The specific matters will be handed over to Lord Brynden Tully and Viscount Willas Tyrell."

"The third thing..."

Green nodded to Daenerys, then he reached out and picked up a secret letter and handed it over.

The excited Prime Minister Mace took the letter with confusion. When he finished reading the contents of the letter, he was shocked: "The witch of Stannis resurrected Lord Stark?! Oh, gods, how is this possible?!"

Green nodded. "To be precise, Stannis ordered the witches to use shadow magic to assassinate Lord Eddard. Then, the witches who were expelled used magic to resurrect Lord Eddard."
