Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

Chapter 148 Tywin
Near the mud gate tower in King's Landing, hundreds of ragged laborers were moving or resisting various stones and soil, repairing the gates and walls destroyed by the wildfire.

"Pull hard!!!"

A dozen or so laborers are dragging a thick and long rope. The middle of the rope is fixed to a broken city wall, and the other end is tied with a boulder weighing several thousand catties, which is being pulled wobbly on the ground. air.

Boom!
This thick and long rope may have been used frequently, and the position fixed on the city wall was worn out directly.The dozens of laborers who were pulling loose their hands, and they all fell on their backs, while the boulder in the air fell straight down with a whistling sound.

Ah!
Ouch!
A laborer who happened to be holding a stone passed by below, and suddenly found a huge shadow above his head. Looking up, he only had time to show panic and uttered a short scream, and was crushed by the huge stone weighing thousands of kilograms. under.

Bright red blood flowed out from under the boulder, and the stunned workers around suddenly realized that they all gathered around to rescue him.But the blood that poured out like a juicer portends a tragic outcome for the laborers beneath the boulder.

Standing on the podium once built for Joffrey, Tai Wen, who was wearing luxurious clothes, happened to see this scene. He frowned and said to a tall, strong, gray-haired golden robe beside him: "Bro Lun, the repair speed of the Mud Gate is too slow, if you go to recruit labor, the number will double."

Lothor Brune was once a knight without landholdings in the service of Littlefinger.Because of his meritorious performance in the battle two months ago, as well as the transactions between some big figures, he was promoted to be the captain of the capital defense team and the Mud Gate Guard.

Hearing Tywin's order, he immediately showed embarrassment. He hesitated for a moment, but he still told the truth: "Doubling the number of laborers? Lord Tywin, too many laborers have died in the past two months, and no one is willing to accept it." recruit.

Unless, we increase the salary a bit more..."

"Humph, pay increase? No, no. Not only won't the pay increase, I'll cut it!"

Hearing Rosso's words, Tai Wen chuckled, turned to stare at him and shook his head to veto.

Luo Suo, who was stared at by Tywin, felt hairy all over his body. Hearing this, he thought that he had been found out that he had tampered with labor wages. Cold sweat broke out on his back immediately, and he didn't know how to answer.

"You take the golden robe to the flea nest now. As long as they are adults, regardless of gender, they will all be caught as laborers. Try not to kill people, they are precious laborers."

Seeing that Rosso was silent, and contemptuous of this golden-cloaked commander-in-chief who only knew about corruption, Tywin then spoke directly.

"Forcibly go to the flea nest to arrest people as laborers? Lord Tywin, will this arouse public outrage! After all, they just launched a riot some time ago."

Seeing that Tywin didn't seem to notice his small movements, Rosso felt relieved.However, he still had some doubts about Tywin's order.

"Of course not. The flea nest has always been a cancer in King's Landing, and it has affected the lives of other people. They will only applaud you when they see you remove the cancer."

Tywin shook his head and said in a very positive tone.

"That's right, Lord Tywin, then I'll do it now!"

Seeing Rosso nodding and leaving, Tywin stared at his back and murmured: "If the people riot again because of this, it will be you who arrested people as laborers without permission.

In the valley, with the assistance of Tyrion and his troops, the rebellion should have been quelled long ago, but it is still fighting.Hmph, it's time to tap this little finger too. "

After inspecting the restoration of the Mud Gate Tower, Tywin returned to the Red Castle Throne Hall with his personal guards.

"Lord Tywin!"

"Father!"

As soon as they stepped into the throne room where the discussion was taking place, everyone quickly bowed down to Tai Wen and saluted respectfully.Cersei and Jaime also immediately rose from their seats to greet them.

Hearing the salutations and greetings of others, Tai Wen nodded slightly, took off the leather gloves in his hands, and walked down the steps of the Iron Throne, looking expressionlessly at Joffrey who was sitting on the Iron Throne without saying a word.

"Joe, get up and salute your grandfather!"

Following Tywin's gaze, all the focus of the Throne Hall was on Joffrey.Seeing this, Cersei immediately taught Joffrey anxiously in a low voice.

pat, pat!
Seeing Joffrey pursing his lips stubbornly and turning his eyes to other places, Tywin walked up the steps slowly. The sound of his leather boots and steps was particularly harsh in the extremely quiet throne room at this time.

Hearing Tywin walking towards him, Joffrey had a bewildered expression on his face, so he had to turn to look at his mother and ask her for help.

"Father, please sit here. Your Majesty Joffrey, Lord Tywin has been fighting bloody battles outside, why don't you get up and thank your grandfather?"

When Tywin stepped on the last step, James stepped forward and made an inviting gesture to Tywin.At the same time, he turned to Joffrey and said.

Finally, when there was a step down, Joffrey hurriedly stood up, saluted Tai Wen and said, "Thank you, Grandpa, for fighting the traitors. Thank you for your hard work."

"This is what I should do, Your Majesty!"

Tywin first glanced at his son, and then answered Joffrey very politely with a cold expression.It's just that the pronunciation of the two words "Your Majesty" in his mouth is more serious.

call!
After finishing speaking, Tywin turned and walked to James' prime minister's seat and sat down.Joffrey exhaled heavily immediately, exchanged glances with his mother Cersei, and sat down slowly.

"My lord father, Lord Varys has just reported the information he bought on the black market. Robb Stark, the traitor, recruited 2 people from Winterfell to Cailin Bay."

James, who was standing beside Tywin, immediately told the information he didn't know.

"Is the information on the northern border only available on the black market? It seems that the wolf cub has cleaned up the spies in the northern border very well!
[-] troops?It is impossible to gather so many people in the north.Most of them should be the civilians in the western region who were taken away by them. "

Tywin heard James' report, raised his right hand on the armrest of the seat to support his chin, and spoke slowly.

"Yes, I think so too. Therefore, I think these recruits are not only not combat power, but also a burden.

As long as we can get their specific information, we can try to get them to join us. "

James nodded, expressing his thoughts.

"Very well, this matter can be done as you want. How is the army in King's Landing City prepared?"

"There is basically no problem. The nobles of the Stormlands have basically sworn allegiance to the Iron Throne. They have nearly [-] elite soldiers, ready to fight at any time.

I once again recruited nearly 1 family soldiers from royal nobles, plus the remaining troops from before, I can gather [-] soldiers. "

Hearing Tywin's inquiry, James immediately told the army's preparations during this period.

"Well, Adam!"

Tywin nodded to James with satisfaction, and then shouted down the steps.

"Yes, Lord Tywin!"

Among the discussion crowd, Adam Marbrand, the cavalry commander in bright armor, stepped out and replied with a salute.

"I will give you [-] cavalry, [-] heavy cavalry, [-] light cavalry, and [-] Stormland infantry. You will take them to Golden Tooth City today.

Before there is my order, you only need to stick to the Golden Tooth City, and ignore everything else. "

Tywin pondered for a while, then gave Adam his order.

"Obey, Lord Tywin!"

"James, prepare the rations and supplies you have collected during this period. We will leave for Harrenhal in two days."

"Yes, my father!"

After giving the order, Tywin stood up directly, nodded slightly to Joffrey and said, "Your Majesty! I will take my leave first."

After speaking, without waiting for Joffrey's reaction, he walked towards Maegor's Tower behind the throne room.

Everyone in the Throne Hall immediately stood up and saluted again. When Tai Wen walked a distance, there was a faint roar from the Throne Hall.

"Why should I salute him? I am the king, and I am the king!"
