Chapter 173 The Unreal Margaery

King's Landing City, the Gate of the Gods.

Ten years into the conquest, Aegon I ordered the construction of a city wall around the residential area to protect the safety of the people of the capital.

In its nearly 300-year history, King’s Landing has suffered many wars. For example, during the Dance of the Blood Dragon, the Black Party and the Green Party successively took control of the city, and the capital changed hands twice. During the Usurper’s War, the city fell to Lannister. In the hands of the four alliances.

But no matter how the previous wars were conducted, the damage to the city wall was not significant.

In other words, the battle between the Lionflower Alliance and Stannis did more damage to the city wall than any other war that took place here.

This point is concentrated near the gate of the gods with open terrain.

The previous city walls were [-] feet high, luxurious and majestic, and the carvings on the city gates are even more amazing. Both the iron gates and the facades are carved with extremely detailed carvings of gods. Those carved eyes seem to follow you and look at you .

Today, however, large sections of the city wall are only four or five feet high, and have little effect except to block the cavalry's wall charge.Even a nimble child can easily climb it, let alone a strong soldier in formation.

The reason, in addition to the prudence and prudence of the then coach Kevan Lannister, is also related to Westeros' combat methods.

In the entire Western Continent, the division of arms is extremely vague. The top-ranking nobles can afford a large-scale army, so they can barely divide the soldiers under their command into sword and shield infantry, spear cavalry, and light scout cavalry. The soldiers under the name of the knights are mainly trained farmers. They can have no long weapons and no helmets. They are already fully equipped. How can they be subdivided into arms?
So when there is a battle, if you can fight in the field, you can fight in the field. After the two sides fight, the nobles should admit defeat, which basically affects our status.

Only in very rare periods, they will retreat into arduous siege battles.The besieging party, usually with several times the strength of the non-defenders, blocked the city gates first, and finished destroying the castles and watchtowers before the siege equipment was completed.

In the feudal fiefdom system of Westeros, the lords tried their best to strengthen their castles. In order to deal with those stone cities, small powerful trebuchets came into being.

One of the representatives is the counterweight trebuchet.

The power of that giant trebuchet can be described. After all, a small number of people who have faced it have died, but only from some data, it is enough to outline the horror of that kind of city-breaking weapon: seventeen feet long, four feet wide and four feet wide. A weight box of [-] feet, a projectile of [-] to [-] kilograms, and a cloth cover that may be wrapped in fuel.

In the consolation of that war giant, the entire west wall of King's Landing City was smashed to pieces.Earl Tully, who was temporarily in charge of the capital's defense, chose the method of "mobilizing the people" in order to restore the city wall to its original appearance as quickly as possible.

To be more specific, a small number of civilians were conscripted to repair the wall, blacksmiths, stonemasons, rich businessmen panting like dogs, carpenters, women who cook, big men who carry wood, old people who are thin as dry wood... in the west of King's Landing Under the construction site, those people were exhausted, fighting against stones, wooden beams, masonry and so on.

Hundreds of armored soldiers were patrolling back and forth among the working people, but sometimes there was no whip raised, and the screams spread.

"How dare you delay the matter of the villain Tully, let's eat a whip first."

For lazy civilians, a whipping is already kind.In recent days, people who have violated the law have been hanged from time to time, and they are hung in a conspicuous place to deter the mob.

The crimes committed are also small, such as stealing the meat of the nobles, hiding in other people's places to rest, and obeying the orders of the officers.

There is a way. In order to show his talents, Earl Tully ordered that after the return of the king, the city wall far away from the Gate of the Gods should be completed.My intentions were passed on to the military officers and craftsmen directing the construction, and those people weakened their pressure tenfold and vented it on the working civilians.

At this moment, among the crowd who were moving stones away from the city wall, a young man who was too tired to move his feet stopped and was about to leave in a hurry.

My name is Will, and I am the most common commoner outside King's Landing. I eat brown soup, wear a gray tunic, and have a yellow complexion and a thin body.

Will thought he would just stay for a minute or two, and the supervising officer would find out, but the reality taught me what cruelty is.

A leather whip quickly fell under Li's bare arm, leaving a trail of blood.

It seems that the flesh has been rotten.

"Just hurry up!" At the age of fear, and the pain from his arm, Will immediately fought back.

But I only dared to yell out loud, and added a vicious look.

"Howling, dare to stare at people. He is a flea nest..." The officer who took back the whip cursed on the spot.

I wear the strider hunter's sigil on the back of my breast, and it's from House Tully.

Before his lord gained power, the officer's voice dropped a few tones.In such a public place again, how could I endure a commoner talking back.

The more the officer scolded, Will stared harder.

At the very end, Officer Tully also knew whether he was afraid of Will's eyes or cursed himself. I raised my whip again, and I was going to whip a few times before talking.

But how could Will, who was already prepared, suffer again? I grabbed the whip and let it go.

Before there was an officer's supervision, dozens of civilians finally stopped, rested, and watched the joke of the arrogant and domineering officer.

The eyes of the people around made the officer furious, so I immediately pulled out my saber and prepared to cut a few swords before I spoke.

Of course, Will would take advantage of it, so he let go of the rope, walked lightly, and escaped from the officer's attack range.

Before the surrounding soldiers saw the commotion over there, they rushed over immediately. When he was young, the disgraced Will was caught by the shining armored soldiers.

In order to vent his anger, the officer first spat on Will a few times, and then gave me a few whips.

In that process, we attracted the eyes of fewer civilians.

Perhaps out of showing off his power, or due to the code of due diligence, the officer announced in a low voice: "Such lazy scoundrels should be hung up for everyone to see. Only when a few die, they will know that their lives are like insects, and they will work hard." Working for His Majesty Arthur I."

At the end, the civilians knew that the young man who was held down had made a mistake, but there were still no witnesses who had witnessed everything, so the truth of the matter was widely spread.

The people who are tired enough naturally have little sympathy for Will, and we whispered to each other.

"Does that man have no power to hang?"

"Why do the people of Hewan command you people of King's Landing?"

"Is the new owner of the chair that cruel?"

Being supervised by the soldiers, the civilians still dared to express their feelings as they did in the future, scolding the king and the nobles who worked hard for the people, and only secretly referred to "the new owner of the chair".

The doubts from the surrounding people made the officer even more afraid of his own ideas. I ordered a small wooden frame to be brought to my hand, and was going to hang the young man on the spot.

With his head pinned to the ground, Will begged for mercy in a low voice: "Malicious master, if you don't dare again, just let me forgive you that time!"

It's just that the soldiers made me speak, so Will's mouth was forced to kiss the little ground.

The actions of the soldiers and officers in Hewan made the civilians in King's Landing even more satisfied, and the obedience of the people made the officers feel that they were too kind.

"Your Majesty's capital must be protected by a majestic city wall. What do those insects know?"

Officer Tully is determined to hang the young man to suppress the crowd, just like my lord villain did during the Bitterbridge Mutiny.

Just when the small wooden frame was set up and the noose was put on poor Will's neck, the abnormal movement under the construction finally attracted the nobleman's attention.

"Stop~" A plate armor soldier with a low horse and a small horse stopped Officer Tully's actions.

In front of the escort of several full-armored soldiers, a noble lady retreated among the group of civilians dressed in mud and dust.

"Mr. Sergeant, why did he hang the poor fellow?"

The officer who was called turned around, and the noble lady who was in sight surprised me so much that I could speak out.

A green tunic dress outlined the man's perfect figure, and his brown curly hair was coiled up with a hairpin carved with golden roses, exposing the particularly elegant, white and tender neck of a swan.

"It's...that's how it is, Miss Tyrell." The officer was so relaxed that he spoke neatly, but I still insisted on finishing my speech.

The man who came was none other than Margaery Tyrell, the son of the Lord of the Reach and the fiancée of the new king.

Shi Shuchen, who was born with no kind of people-friendly temperament, smiled and nodded to the civilians while listening to the explanation of the Tully officer.

It's just how the hard-working people pay attention to the sweet dates thrown by the noble lady, even if you are amazingly beautiful.

"That poor man just wants to rest for a while, it's far enough to be hanged!" Margaret questioned.

Facing the Tully officer, Miss Tyrell was less serious.

"But if I let my behavior go, the entire construction period will be delayed, and Earl Randyll Tarly has assumed that responsibility..." Before stammering for a while, the officer finally recovered.

I moved out of my smallest front desk, hoping that the noble lady who looked extremely heavy last year would take care of that big thing again.

After all, in the current King's Landing City, Earl Tully is more in the limelight than anyone else.

"Just because he gave him a glare, he will be hanged. Is there no law for the king? Is there no justice for the kingdom?" But Margaery didn't care what the officer said.

No matter how beautiful Earl Tarly is, this is also a vassal of your Tyrell family.

"You heard that the villain Lando is about to be the Minister of Justice, and that the people of Tully are going to violate the laws of the Kingdom like that and ruin my reputation?"

The officer hesitated for a moment, then replied: "But you are also responsible for delaying the construction period. My lazy behavior must be punished."

I was ready to dismiss Big Sister Tyrell's words again, but Margaery didn't ignore me, but directly ordered:

"Release that poor man, give me food and water, and let me rest for a while."

Before the order was finished, Margaery, who was about to become the king again, turned around and faced the civilians with a smile, and announced loudly:
"The king is your future husband. I am famous for my narrowness and kindness. How could I allow my people to be enslaved like that? You, Margaret Tishishu, order in the name of King Arthur I, today's work Just outside there, everyone went to find a place to rest first, and when it was time to eat, your Tyrell family would prepare a sumptuous dinner for Xiaojia..."

In the blink of an eye, let the next ten thousand civilians stop working and go to rest.

The people around suddenly burst into cheers, and the news spread, and the civilians in the entire construction site were grateful for the kindness of the future king.

"The vicious Shi Shuchen will definitely leave his name in the history books."

"The nobles of the Tully family are too strict, and the elder sister of Tyrell is sympathetic to the people!"

"Whoever gives you a good meal, you will recognize him."

Tens of thousands of civilians chirped, Margaery's name spread quickly, and our love for the Tyrells, like our love for the Tarlys, took shape in only a short time.

But such a small matter as stopping the entire city wall construction project can naturally be decided by a Tully officer, so no one immediately reported the situation under the construction to the little craftsman and the oath knight of the Tully family, and the forward passed In the ears of the villain Ran Dao, who works as a director outside the city.

"If you are a good person, let you bear the curse."

Earl Tully in iron armor said loudly.

I'm okay with Miss Tyrell's behavior, but it's also a big way to play with people's hearts.

Before hearing that, the oath knight who was in charge of delivering the news asked, "How should it be carried out? His Majesty the King is about to return to King's Landing City. It may be just a day or two there. How long has your project been delayed?"

Since His Majesty Arthur I, who went north to welcome King Stark and the loyal ministers of the River Bend, was about to return south to King's Landing, the oath knight thought that the common people should rest today.

"The king's opinion is the most important thing. Some civilians are concerned about the small situation." Lando Tally stood up, "Go and discuss with Sister Margaery, the project must be carried out according to the schedule."

I went out of the city with a few guards and the oath knight who reported, and I was going to get Sister Margaret to take back her order.

……

In the gate of the gods.

Arthur, who arrived at the destination first on horseback, recognized Shi Shuchen who was comforting and consoling among the crowd.

"In terms of being close to the people and making gestures, you are a natural king." The king said to Podrick who was following him.

Arthur has already had in-depth communication with Shi Shuchen, but I still feel that I see that beauty clearly.

It's true, that's the king's only comment on Miss Tyrell.

Regardless of what Margaery does, even if Arthur can guess your intentions and motives, he still feels that you are definitely out there.

To Sansa, King Arthur I was able to treat Sansa with one point of sincerity, but after Margaery's face, I only dared to use eight parts of sincerity.

Maybe wait until before the wedding, that feeling will change quickly!

Riders holding the eight Targaryen red dragon banners appeared with the king, and the crowd suddenly moved like a flowing tide, opening a passage so that Arthur I could reach King Margaery smoothly.

Even though Miss Tyrell has not yet married the king, a small number of commoners have stopped calling you the king.

If it is the Stark family who is not famous at all, I am afraid that King Sansa will be forgotten by the commoners before King Sansa.

Margaret's eyebrows were raised again, her almond eyes showed an eight-point smile, and the corners of her mouth were slightly lowered. Before putting on a standard look of a good wife and mother, she looked at her future husband.

"You are finally back."
