Game of Thrones: From King of Elden to Teen Wolf Lord

Chapter 44 Tywin’s Weapons

"Ser Amory Lodge and his men were also captured by that imp, and most of the men we sent were lost."

In Harrenhal, the two brothers of the Lannister family are discussing the current war situation.

Ser Kevan Lannister is the brother of Tywin Lannister and the second in command of the Lannister army.

He held a piece of intelligence in his hand and reported with a frown: "The group of mercenaries from Qohor were also wiped out. That kid was more cruel than we thought. He learned from Bolton. The family's craft was to skin all the prisoners and hang them on the heads of the guns.

The most terrifying thing is that he didn't know what kind of witchcraft he used to make those poor people endure more than ten days of torture before they died. Now many nobles are no longer willing to go out to rob, they are afraid of Robb. "

Tywin looked as normal as he listened to the report. He held the golden wine glass, cut off a piece of roasted suckling pig skin with a knife, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

"Poor Ser Amory Lodge. I still remember his bravery when I broke into King's Landing and asked him to kill the mad king's granddaughter. He stabbed a little girl more than 30 times."

Tywin said this, but everyone could see that he didn't care much about the plight of those people. His son had come back, and the others were just war pawns he manipulated.

Kevan Lannister continued to report: "The war in the Riverlands has spread to Luanhe City by us. The Lake God's Eye area under our control is already a sea of ​​​​fire, and livestock and supplies have been robbed."

Tywin swallowed the roasted suckling pig skin. The piece he was eating now was snatched from the Earldom of Lakewood in Wildcrow Castle.

Kevan was a little annoyed: "But recently, that boy Robb is wandering around the Riverlands with a team of unknown number. All the teams that met him were captured, and no one escaped."

Tywin took a sip of wine to relieve his boredom: "I underestimated this boy. I didn't expect him to be able to resist coming to Harrenhal to fight with me, and instead went to do things like lead a personal expedition."

300 years ago, the "Black-Hearted" King Harren plundered the resources of half of Westeros and built Harrenhal in the Riverlands.

Workers, gold, stone, and thousands of years of weirwood were continuously transported here. Tens of thousands of slaves died of exhaustion, and it finally took 40 years to build.

Therefore, this fortress is the tallest and strongest fortress in Westeros. Its five towers cover the sky and the sun, and its walls are so impregnable that no matter how many enemies there are, they cannot easily break through.

It's a pity that King Harren at that time encountered Aegon the Conqueror and his three dragons.

Although Aegon the Conqueror could not break through the city wall, the churning dragon flames suffocated the people inside alive.

Since then, the Hall family has disappeared from the world forever.

Each subsequent family that acquired Harrenhal met with misfortune, and it became a dark and cursed place.

Although Harrenhal is an unfortunate city, for the Lannister army occupying Harrenhal, it is the most suitable place on the entire continent for a decisive battle with the Stark army.

So Tywin kept sending small teams to plunder the territory of the Riverlands, just to force Robb to make a decision.

Tywin's strategic planning is almost unparalleled in this world:
If Robb leaves him alone, the nobles of the Riverlands will lose their patience and loyalty.

Even if Robb asked the army to plunder the Westerlands, the losses recovered could not make up for the disengagement of people's hearts, because they could only regain supplies by plundering the Westerlands, but they could not save their relatives and friends in the Riverlands.

And over in the Western Region, Tywin had already prepared his backup plan.

Ser Stafford Lannister, Tywin's cousin and brother of his late wife.

He is quietly gathering an army near Casterly Rock. As long as the army from the north invades, they will hold them back.

At this time, Tywin can take the initiative and eat the old skinned army, severely damaging the vitality of the North.

It would be even better if Robb ignored him and came to Harrenhal to fight him. That was what Tywin wanted most.

Facing Robb's third way to break the game, Tywin also began to think about how to deal with it. His fingers tapped on the table rhythmically, brewing a conspiracy, making the atmosphere in the room even more depressing. "Now is the time to compete for endurance. We don't have much time. We must deal with this difficult little devil as soon as possible."

Tywin finally made up his mind: "Robb's move shows that the nobles of the Riverlands can no longer sit still and want to protect their territory and wealth.

What we have to do is to tighten this string and continue to plunder the Riverlands. As long as one noble leaves Riverrun to defend his territory, the team in the Riverlands will be completely dispersed. "

Ser Kevan Lannister reminded: "Our people are also very scared. The methods of that brat Robb are too terrifying, and no one is willing to go."

Tywin smiled contemptuously: "Ah, a group of vultures. They almost knelt down and begged me to let them plunder before, but now they are soft. But it is useless for them to go, they are no match for Robb."

Ser Kevan Lannister guessed what his brother was thinking: "Ser Gregor Clegane? This is a good choice. He may be able to capture the brat alive. Even if he is defeated, he will not be able to escape alone." , let us get a black eye."

"Yes, it's the Magic Mountain. Where is he now?"

"He just looted Darry City, but there is no one in that city. It is said that that brat Robb forced most of the nobles to take refuge in Riverrun."

Tywin frowned slightly: "Let the Mountain make more noise. You send people to support the Mountain. Wait until Robb, the brat, collides with the Mountain before taking action."

Ser Gregor Clegane was known for his cruelty, and he was also tall and burly. Just the sight of him could make many people cry.

It is perfect to use him to do such a thing.

Ser Kevan Lannister went out to assign tasks, while old Tywin remained in the study thinking.

Tywin was very confident about the Mountain's fighting power. Even if he didn't capture Robb alive, he could still repel the opponent's team.

This will give the nobles under him the courage to rob again.

In addition, some other backup tools must be prepared.

Tywin thought for a while and wrote several letters, secretly sending them to the earls stationed in the west and to Luanhe City in the north and the direction of Roose Bolton's army.

After finishing writing, Tywin rubbed his temples tiredly.

The current situation reminded him of the scene when he was conquering the Mad King many years ago.

Rebels are everywhere, and Westeros is in flames.

What we need to figure out now is: who is our enemy and who is our friend.

Tywin murmured to himself: "Look, just a kid from the Stark family dares to call himself a king..."
