Game of Thrones: From King of Elden to Teen Wolf Lord
Chapter 104 Upgrade
Chapter 104 Upgrade
Earl Tytos thought for a while and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this is a real dragon! We should publicize it. This will bring a huge improvement to our troops! Even many secret royalists of the previous dynasty have also Will lean towards you.”
The dragons of the Targaryen family are the foundation of their rule over the continent of Westeros. Only people with the blood of the Targaryen family can control dragons, which adds a mysterious color to their bloodline.
So even now, some people still miss the previous dynasty, even the reign of the Mad King.
Now, Robb shows up with a dragon, which will cause a stir throughout Westeros!
The reputation of the entire kingdom will reach a new peak again.
Robb agreed with Lord Tytos: "Mastering a dragon is indeed worthy of publicity, but not now."
Robb glanced at Bahamut who was still feasting. This little thing was too small. Even if it was displayed, it would not cause a huge psychological shock.
I am prepared to wait for this little thing to grow up a few more times, and at least it can carry people on flights. Only then can I find a suitable occasion to show it off, so that it can achieve the best effect.
Seeing that Robb had his own arrangements, Earl Tytos shut up, stopped discussing the topic, and began to report on his work.
"Your Majesty, the repair work on Harrenhal is almost complete. Lord Roose Bolton has repainted the castle as per your request. From the outside, it looks as beautiful as the winter snow."
Robb is also looking forward to what the new Harrenhal will look like. He is planning to hold a wedding with Little Rose at Harrenhal. He will take advantage of the wedding to attract a large number of people and nobles to settle in Harrenhal.
"Farmhouses have also begun to be built on the outskirts of Harrenhal. They are now occupied by the craftsmen and slaves who are repairing the castle. They will be planned into residential areas later. The underground drainage system has also been designed and is expected to start construction soon."
In Robb's vision, Harrenhal will become the political and cultural center of the entire Westeros continent, existing like a capital, and its overall scale will surpass all previous buildings.
Therefore, Harrenhal is similar to the royal palace. Near the royal palace, other buildings must be built to expand the overall scale.
After Tytos reported on Harrenhal, Robb was quite satisfied with the overall progress. As long as Harrenhal could be repaired before the wedding, the expansion area would be discussed later.
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. There seems to be a lot of concerns over this marriage in the Reach. Many minor nobles are worried that your marriage to Highgarden will encroach on their rights."
Robb's brows moved slightly: "Little nobles? Their right to speak on our side is the same as ordinary people's right to speak on their side. If no one instigates this matter, they will never dare to unite."
"Your Majesty is wise, it was the Hightowers who raised the issue at the banquet in Highgarden..."
Lord Tytos reported every move at the Highgarden banquet to Robb, and the Wolf Guards had already collected the information before the Tyrells wrote to Robb.
After hearing this, Robb was not too surprised: "The influence of the Hightower family in the Reach is not weak to begin with. After all, the Tyrell family has only been in power for a few hundred years, and their foundation is not deep, so they cannot suppress it. .”
When Aegon I rode a dragon to conquer the continent, the Tyrell family was killed because the original owner, the Gardener family, was burned by a dragon. They surrendered meritoriously and were promoted by Aegon to be the guardians of the Reach.
Originally, they were just stewards of the Gardener family, and their status and heritage were incomparable to the Hightower family's status, which spanned thousands of years.
Therefore, although the Reach is rich, the Tyrell family cannot cover the sky with one hand.
Fortunately, Robb had previously conquered the Redwyne family on the Arbor, and together the two parties were slightly stronger than the Hightowers.
However, the Hightower family mobilized public opinion again, causing some wavering minor nobles to lean towards the Hightowers, and the situation became deadlocked.
To completely conquer the Reach, Robb still has a lot of things to do, but the first thing Robb must consider is to understand the fundamental reason why all this happened:
"Why would the Hightowers turn against me?"
Robb himself has two guesses: one is that the Hightower family, the Citadel, and the church have been secretly planning to disappear magic and dragons, allowing secular forces to regain control of the continent.
And rumors that I possess magic have spread throughout the continent. Are they worried that after I gain absolute advantage, magic will become mainstream again?
The second possibility is that the Hightowers are not satisfied with the Tyrell and Redwyne families seizing the opportunity to gain a foothold in my dynasty, but they have not yet connected with me?
Robb thinks both are possible. After all, humans are complex animals, and their emotions are affected by many things.
If possible, Robb would kill them directly and burn down the castle and church. In this way, the Hightowers would lose their pride and have no choice but to surrender.
But if you do this, the fanatics across the country will explode immediately, and the rebellion will continue until the last drop of blood is drained.
Like in another timeline, Cersei's incident of blowing up the church with a wildfire is completely unreasonable. If she really blows up the main church, Cersei will immediately fall into an endless pursuit.
When the Targaryen family was in its heyday, dragons were flying all over the sky, and they didn't even dare to say that they simply destroyed the church. After several generations of struggle, they could only disarm the church.
In addition, Cersei also blew up the Tyrell family. Did the [-] troops stationed not far from King's Landing disappear out of thin air?
"We need to be more cautious when dealing with the church, and have a long-term plan, and then kill with one blow. Completely kill the Church of the Seven Gods without giving them a chance to react and come back."
Of course Robb would not allow the religious authority to affect his royal authority, but it would take some time to deal with the church.
The church can't handle it, so he still needs the bachelors from the city to handle it for him.
These two forces are unable to move, and the Hightower family is also unable to move.
Robb quickly determined his strategic goal: "Well, first, intimidate the Hightower family into surrendering to me. After the marriage, immediately attack the West, link my territory with the Reach, and then deal with the forces in the Reach." It’s much more convenient.”
He ate his food one bite at a time. There was still a Western Territory between him and the Reach. He would wait until the Western Territory was included in his own territory. ——
After Lord Tytos retreated, Robb prepared to ask about the situation of his army.
As the first legion under Robb, the Blood Wolf Army will become the main force in attacking the Western Region.
Ringing the bell, Robb summoned the Minister of Intelligence, Earl Blackfish, the Minister of Logistics, Edmure, and the two Ministers of Recruitment to his study.
Not long after, four people came together.
The moment they opened the door to Robb's study, they felt that something was wrong with today's situation.
There seems to be something extra...
They soon found Bahamut, who was well fed and drunk, sleeping soundly on Robb's desk.
"dragon?!"
"Is this a living dragon?"
"Gods old and new, what did I see?!"
Earl Blackfish wiped his eyes to make sure that his eyes were not hallucinating due to his age.
The other few behaved the same way as Count Tytos, half-kneeling to the ground, with expressions of excitement and disbelief: "Your Majesty... this is really..."
A small number of people knew that Robb had brought back the trophy dragon egg, but no one thought that the dragon egg could actually hatch!
Didn’t it say that only those of the Targaryen family can control dragons?
Robb waved his hand to signal his men to stay calm: "This is indeed a giant dragon. Don't be too surprised. There are still three giant dragons on the continent of Essos."
"This is different..." Earl Blackfish felt that the first half of his life had been in vain. Who would have thought that he would see so many exciting things in his later years!
Lord Robb has a dragon!
The impact of this incident is absolutely beyond imagination. Not to mention that bastard Joffrey is on the throne now, even if the real Prince Rhaegar is on the throne, Robb also has enough legal principles to usurp the throne!
Robb was not as excited as others. Perhaps in their eyes, the existence of the dragon could help the kingdom reach another level.
But in Robb's eyes, the kingdom has been at the top since it has itself, and there is no room for improvement.
So Robb said calmly: "Don't spread this matter widely. I called you here today to ask about the army."
Uncle Edmure came forward to report: "Your Majesty, your personal guard wolf cavalry has been expanded to 1000 people. They are all armored heavy cavalry. Each person carries four horses and four attendants."
A thousand wolf cavalry is Robb's ideal size. The armored heavy cavalry is an unrivaled military force in this era.
The spearmen, swordsmen and shieldmen restraining the cavalry are all illusions created by fighting against the light cavalry. In the face of the absolute tonnage of the armored heavy cavalry, a charge will be dispersed.
Of course, the cost of heavy cavalry is also huge.
They usually only eat, drink and exercise. They have to arrange for attendants to wash their underwear and other items. They also have four or five laborers to serve them. They cannot engage in production. In addition, people eat horse chews. At least a hundred laborers can support a heavy cavalry.
"The blood wolf army's organizational structure has been improved. The equipment transported from the Reach has been distributed. Basically everyone has chain armor, and everyone above the rank of captain of ten commanders wears plate armor."
The supplies in the north are really scarce. Most of the soldiers who followed Robb down to fight in the past were wearing leather armor. After the transportation to the Reach was opened, supplies continued to arrive, and now the equipment is considered sophisticated.
It can be said that Robb's soldiers have completed a comprehensive upgrade.
Just like when playing games before, the conscripted militiamen turned into senior infantrymen of the empire, and their combat effectiveness was greatly improved.
In this era, a piece of plate armor can make a qualitative difference in a soldier.
Edmure said with admiration: "Captain Little Jon has trained the Blood Wolf Army according to your Majesty's training standards. Now he can understand the commands of the battle flag, and...these 1 people can all write their own Name."
What he admired was not Little Jon's ability to train soldiers, but Little Jon's ability to make those illiterate people write his own name!
This is simply amazing. Those soldiers may never learn to hold a pen in a normal posture in their life, but they can still write their names crookedly.
And everyone can.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but every time Edmure went to distribute equipment, he always felt that the soldiers were happier when they learned to write their names than when they received weapons and equipment.
