Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 157 Pierced into the Heart
The top of the tallest tower in Fallen Wood.

Renly Baratheon stood alone by the battlements, looking south.

Bright sunlight floods the world.

All you can see is a lush, undulating green forest, with distinct layers of green, interesting and not messy.

Some are emerald green, immature and transparent, like children.

Some of them are apple green, so bright that they taste sweet and sour, like teenagers.

Some are olive green, vibrant, strong and mature, not eye-catching, but can make people feel warm and stable at the same time, like a vigorous young man.

Some are dark green, simple and elegant, like elders who are used to seeing the world.

A forest is a world.

Look far and wide.

At the end of the world, there is a faintly protruding crimson color, which contrasts with the green forest. The contrast is sharp but harmonious, showing the wonder of creation.

I have to sigh, the scenery is beautiful.

but.

Renly didn't see what he wanted to see.

Storm's End.

He thought about this magnificent castle with constant waves day and night and storms, and looked through the memories in his mind.Walls, gates, institutions.

Just a few thousand people want to break it in the hands of Sir Cortanay?

Renly wanted to laugh out loud, at Joffrey's stupidity and arrogance.However, after knowing so much information, he really didn't dare to take it lightly.

An ax swung by a fool is as deadly as a wise man.

Unfortunately, Joffrey held a sharp ax in his hand, and it was growing rapidly, getting sharper and sharper.

The first news came from King's Landing.

The spies sent were responsible for observing the port, and sent information from the Royal Forest to Quanshi City, or along the King's Road to Copper Gate City.

The raven of the castle will complete the last leg.

Renly was therefore able to know every move of King's Landing five days ago.

But he sometimes prefers not to know.

Within three days, there were four horrifying key pieces of information from King's Landing Port.

The port of King's Landing had stockpiled a large amount of logs, and in just one day, the number of the Royal Fleet moored in Port of King's Landing doubled out of thin air, to as many as [-] warships!

Overnight, the iron and steel turned into a slender battleship, and it was launched smoothly, and it can travel without sails!

After the launching ceremony, the troops in the city boarded the royal fleet, and all three hundred warships were dispatched, sailing to the sea, and Joffrey himself was on board!
One day later, the logs were exhausted, and nearly [-] new warships were born in King's Landing Port!
One is more terrible than one, and one is more dangerous.

Renly could hardly believe it.

But none of the spies and letters came in or out, and some people came to the castle and told Renly what they saw and heard, in detail, and with evidence.

A piece of wood grain is extremely messy, as if it was a wood chip formed by mixing several kinds of paints.

Renly chose to believe.

He knew that this information could not be concealed, so he quickly held a meeting to discuss how to deal with it.

The earl and the generals first questioned very similarly, but after confirming, they reacted differently, either silent, or emotional, or talking to themselves in a low voice, or dazed and slow in action.

Renly showed his calmness and indifference, he just told the generals to strengthen their training, and at the same time sent messages to the castles along the coast.

But the Raven from Rain House City arrived in Luomu City half a day later, announcing the arrival of the Royal Fleet.

This moment is the darkest moment in Luomu City.

The lords and jazz present were in a gloomy mood, and they didn't have much hope for the defense of the castles in the south.

Those whose territory is located along the coast of Cape Wrath conveyed their expectations to Renly with their eyes. Some people suggested to return to help immediately, defending the stormlands, setting the battlefield at Cape Wrath, and using blood and fire to deal a severe blow to the enemy.

Old Earl Esmond of Greenstone Castle went to Renly privately and begged him to save Esmond Island.

The crowd was furious and spoke with one voice.

But how could Renly have promised to pursue the fleet with cavalry and infantry?

What's more, hundreds of these warships can be built in a day. Even if skilled sailors are limited, at least there is no need to worry about damage, which is almost equal to an unsinkable fleet.

Although there is only one steel battleship, it is a real water fortress and cannot be breached.

Engage such an enemy at sea?
Renly was more determined about the battle plan of crossing the Blackwater from the upper reaches.

The upper reaches of the Blackwater River are shallow, and deep-water warships cannot reach it. It only needs to sink a few more ships into the water, and even light ships will find it difficult to approach.

At that time, there should be hope for capturing King's Landing from land.

Renly had put aside the idea of ​​victory.

The power that Joffrey possesses is not only strange, but also full of unknown and foggy.

Who knows how far this power can go?
Renly couldn't help thinking of the worst possible outcome. His army of one hundred thousand was easily destroyed by Joffrey's tricks, like a game.

However, after the darkness, the dawn appeared.

Everyone present at the second letter from Rain House City smiled.

Rain House City is defended!

The enemy behaved so mysteriously and strangely, the warships, lights, and loud noises were all just appearances!

Renly also heaved a sigh of relief.

Judging from this situation, at least the battle on land has a great chance of winning.

The premise is that the second letter is true.

Perhaps it was because the good news came so suddenly, Renly subconsciously had some doubts and was inexplicably uneasy.

But then, letters from Amber City, Greenstone Castle, Storm's End, Weeping Town, and Griffin's Nest Castle were delivered one after another. the movement of the army.

The time is concentrated in just one or two days.

The huge royal fleet seems to be a group of pirates, running fast, looking for weak prey everywhere, and never storming a tricky castle.

More importantly, the lights and sounds used by the fleet are quite limited!
Does that mean that Joffrey's various strange abilities are also the same, it is difficult to last, and the power is not as terrible as he thought?
Renly fought back his excitement, not allowing himself to fully believe the theory.

The situation suddenly improved.

So, how should the troops move forward now?

The earl and the generals couldn't stop arguing, some said to continue westward to join the army of Highgarden, some asked to go south to defend the territory, and some clamored to go straight north to test the quality of the immature fleet of the Blackwater River.

It was mainly the ravens of Storm's End that drove Renly to his decision.

Sir Cortnay Penrose personally wrote a report: Joffrey led 5000 men to land and besiege the city, and most of the accompanying fleet went northward to cut off their retreat.

Renly was glad to himself that it was Joffrey, the Fool, who had the dangerous axe.

"Your Majesty, a paperweight letter."

The maester came up the stairs behind him, a scroll of papers in his hand.

Uncovering the sealing wax with the crossed quill pattern, the letter contained the expected content. Joffrey sent the fleet north to sack the village.

Renly's last scruples were dismissed.

He looked again at Storm's End.

The royal fleet was raging in the coastal villages and towns, and Joffrey led thousands of people to show off outside Storm's End.

The defense strength of King's Landing is unknown.

So, end the war outside Storm's End.

No attempt should be made to destroy the axe.

Before the sharp ax grew up, and before the fool let go of the sharp axe, he struck.

Pierce into the heart.
