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

Chapter 59 Robb’s Ambition

Luanhe City.

Robb is quite leisurely these days. There is no war or marching these days, which gives him time to think about the current war situation.

"Counting the days, Xion should have arrived at the Iron Islands by now. There hasn't been a letter yet..."

Robb sighed, knowing that Theon finally chose the Iron Islands.

His character determines his life path. Robb gave him the opportunity to train in the Wolf Riders and cultivate honor, but it still did not change the trajectory of his life.

"The Iron Islands' army should have been almost assembled when Theon arrived. They will march for half a month and finally launch a general attack."

"Well, they probably don't know that Tywin has retreated yet. By the time the news reached Balon, his team had already started attacking, and it was too late for him to retreat."

After conquering the hearts of the people in the North and the Riverlands, Robb's main goal now is the Iron Islands.

The instinct to become a king is engraved in Adelaide's soul, and Robb still regards the unification of Westeros as his goal.

However, there is no point in becoming king like the Targaryens. Repeating the achievements of their predecessors will only make themselves live in the shadows forever.

If Robb wants to do it, he must be the greatest emperor ever!
There are already too many kings. If you want to do it, be the First Emperor!
Therefore, the treatment of the Iron Islands is crucial.

In the history of Westeros, the Iron Islands are a very special existence. Although they belong to one of the seven ancient kingdoms, their customs are incompatible with those on the mainland.

They neither believe in the original old gods of this continent, nor do they believe in the seven gods that are now the most widespread.

They believe in a sea monster: the Drowned God.

Then there are their living habits. They like to rob, and the things they rob are euphemistically called: iron money.

Originally, the previous owner of the Iron Islands wanted to change all this and actively integrate into the life circle of Westeros continent, but the current King Balon does not think this is a good choice.

Hoping to restore ancient customs, he resumed robberies and demanded payment of iron money.

Balon rebelled several times, and was eventually defeated by the former king Robert and Ned Stark. His two sons were also killed, leaving only Theon, who was sent to Winterfell as a hostage.

Because of the differences in beliefs and living habits of the Iron Islands, Robb decided to start with the Iron Islands first, so as not to cause a strong backlash from other forces in Westeros.

beep.

At this moment, there was a knocking on the window, and a raven stood in front of Robb's window.

Robb opened the letter. It was the information delivered by Sir Blackfish.

“The three major war nobles in Riverrun can’t hold it any longer. Great Jon, Rickard Karstark, and Jason Mallister of Seaside City frequently request to invade the West.”

"Although the troops in the Western Region have been gathered again by Tywin's cousin, their combat effectiveness is very low. They have not been fully trained. I think they can attack."

After reading the letter from Sir Blackfish, Minister of Intelligence, Robb thought about it and felt that now was the time to attack.

Tywin has withdrawn his troops, his sister is on her way back to Winterfell, and most of the nobles in the Riverlands have returned to farming in their fiefdoms.

The overall situation has stabilized. What Robb needs to do next is to stock up on more supplies to prepare for the subsequent war.

But the best way to hoard supplies is not farming, but robbery.

As the saying goes, if my neighbor has food, I have a gun, and my neighbor is my granary.

From a strategic perspective, Riverrun monopolized the road between the West and King's Landing, and Roose Bolton also recaptured Harrenhal and rested there.

It is almost impossible for Tywin to rescue the West now, because there are still two kings in the south who are eyeing him.

This is the best time to send troops.Robb thought for a while and wrote a reply to Sir Blackfish, asking him to temporarily serve as the commander-in-chief of the three armies and plunder the Western Territory.

Of course, Robb knew that Sir Blackfish's prestige was not enough for him to fully command the three armies, but it could at least play a role as a check.

Both Greatjon and Rickard Karstark are foolhardy men, best suited to be vanguards, but not suited to command.

After writing the reply, there was a knock on the door of Robb's room again.

Steveron Frey's voice rang out: "Your Majesty, I'm here to report to you on the affairs of Luanhe City."

"come in."

Steve Lun opened the door and walked in. He had been very busy in recent days. With Robb's support, he quickly united with his son and his close brother to take all the affairs of Luanhe City into his hands.

At this time, it all depends on the team situation, not personal ability at all.

Therefore, Steve Lun's orders can be implemented quickly.

"Your Majesty, there are four thousand soldiers in Luanhe City, almost all of them spearmen and archers. They are all obeying your orders now. The supplies in Luanhe City have also been counted. This is the list."

Robb took the list: "You keep half for your own use, and the rest, half will be shipped to Harrenhal, and the other half will be used as logistics for 4000 people. We will set off in two days."

Steveron Frey asked: "Your Majesty, are we going to the Western Territory to rob?"

"No, we are going to the north to rob."

"Huh?" Steve Lun thought he heard wrongly.

Your Majesty, are you trying to rob yourself?

To rebel against yourself?
Robb chuckled twice: "The nobles in the Tombs of the First Men and the Stream Land did not want to make any effort when I summoned the vassals, nor did they want to offend me, so they only sent some people to deal with me. They did not respect me. I.

Although the Mandalay family in White Harbor did not send all their soldiers, they did give [-] cavalry, which was not a small number. As for them, they had some pitiful infantry.

When Tywin attacked, if they could send all their men, Roose Bolton might not have been beaten so badly.

I told all the nobles at Winterfell that if anyone dared to run away from the battle, I would pull them out of the castle while I fought off Tywin.

Now is the time for me to fulfill my promise. Your father was an example, and they will be an example. I want the people of Westeros to know that the North will never be forgotten. "

Overall, Robb wins the fight, now it's time to divide the cake.

The rewards are based on the performance of previous subordinates, such as the three nobles sent to rob the Western Region and the soldiers of Bear Island.

The liquidation should be liquidated, such as the nobles in Luanhe City, Xixi Land and the Ancestral Tombs.

The inspections should be conducted, such as Roose Bolton and the Manderly family of White Harbor. They fulfilled their vassal promises normally and their performance on the battlefield was neither good nor bad. Robb would let them drink some soup.

Only when rewards and punishments are clearly defined can the public be convinced.

Of course, Robb had other plans.

That is, these two places can still pull out thousands of troops, plus the 4000 people in Luanhe City, the 2000 people stationed in Kalin Bay, and the 1000 people who have not been dispatched in the swamp.

Together these people can form an army of 1 people!
But no one realizes this yet.

Especially, Lord Balon of the Iron Islands.

These 1 people were Robb's trump card to clear out the Iron Islands invading army.
