The wedding ended successfully. Unlike weddings held by ordinary families, the wedding of Robb and Little Rose was more like a political ceremony.

That night, Robb and Little Rose lay on the velvet bed in the bedroom on the upper floor of the King's Tower to discuss the future.

The newlywed Little Rose looked more charming. She wore a light gauze skirt and pressed her whole body against Robb's body. The matte texture and the smoothness brought by the exposed skin made Robb's heart restless.

This hazy feeling can stimulate a man's heartstrings the most.

This hazy feeling always makes people have a violent impulse to tear open the barrier, and then feel the most essential stimulation crazily.

In the dim candlelight, Little Rose's voice was very sticky: "Your performance at the wedding today is really intoxicating."

Robb stroked Little Rose's back.

"The Great Emperor, what a nice name. No king has ever been able to do this before." Little Rose gradually understood Robb's ambition, but she was even happier in her heart.

There is also a big gap between the queens.

Being the queen of an ordinary king and being the queen of the great emperor in Robb's blueprint are two completely different experiences.

Little Rose is a worshiper of power. The stronger Robb's power is, the more obsessed she is.

On the contrary, if Robb's strength and power are not enough to satisfy her, she will no longer be as docile as she is now. She will try to control Robb and then use her own means to obtain the power she wants.

However, there will be no such opportunity later.

Little Rose clamped her legs: "Except for the old town of the Hightower family and some small nobles, the soldiers in the River Bay are all under your rule. What are you going to do next?"

Robb enjoyed the feeling of having a beautiful woman in his arms: "Now the areas I actually control have been basically rectified. The next step is to get rid of that old thing Tywin."

Tywin is the second biggest obstacle for Robb to unify the Westeros continent. The first obstacle is still outside the Great Wall in the North, so Robb doesn't need to consider it for the time being.

It has to be admitted that Tywin is very capable and has a good level of governance. He is an absolute practical utilitarian.

But the two sides have different positions, and the other party is not the kind of character who will bow down to the ground when he raises his arm, so he can only kill him.

What Robb wants is not only to kill Tywin, but also to defeat the direct forces under Tywin's hands, so that even if the Lannister family is completely destroyed, no one in the Westerlands can organize opposition forces.

At that time, Robb controls all the western areas of the entire Westeros continent, and things will become simple afterwards.

Of course, while dealing with Tywin, Robb also needs to do one thing, that is, to strengthen the connection between the Manderly family and the Essos continent.

There are still some things in Essos that are worth Robb's visit.

The legendary ruins of Valyria, and Asshai, the birthplace of dragons, and finally, of course, the three dragons under the Dragon Mother...

Judging from Robb's current progress, I am afraid that after unifying Westeros, the Dragon Mother has not completely dealt with those Slave Bay cities, and Robb can only bear the burden and go there in person.

Little Rose looked at Robb, who was full of vigor and confidence, and felt her blood boiling. She squeezed her legs more and more frequently: "I believe you, they are definitely not your opponents."

Robb saw the strangeness of Little Rose, smiled playfully, exerted force on his hands, and the broken pieces of cloth fell to the ground.

——

The next morning, Robb came to the Lord's Hall on the first floor of the King's Tower in high spirits.

This spacious and bright hall is where Robb holds meetings. The top is covered with various murals. The craftsmen cleverly use the refraction and reflection of sunlight and glass to illuminate the entire hall. If you look up slightly, you can see all kinds of legendary characters staring at you.

The smooth floor became even smoother after being cleaned by the servants, and Robb did not lay any carpets in the hall.

It's not that Robb is stingy, what Robb wants is the feeling that it is very easy to fall when walking on it.

There is a long distance from the entrance to Robb's throne, which means that everyone who steps into the Lord's Hall must be careful and cautious at every step, otherwise they will fall in front of everyone.

This caution will accompany them throughout the meeting.

It is also a reminder that they must always maintain etiquette and demeanor when meeting the king.

Today is the first time that Robb has officially started a meeting in the Lord's Hall, so Robb also attaches great importance to it, dressed neatly, and put on the crown.

Because yesterday was Robb's wedding, all the nobles and the ministers of the king's wing were in Harrenhal, and no important ministers were absent from this first meeting.

Robb sat on the high throne and looked down at his subjects below: "The first thing is that I am going to use troops against the Westerlands. This time, not only will I completely occupy the entire Westerlands, but I will also force Tywin to come out and fight me."

When Tywin sent troops to the Riverlands before, he sent the Mountain and various nobles to rob the nobles of the Riverlands and force Robb to fight him in Harrenhal.

Now the offense and defense have changed, and Robb also adopts the same tactics.

Moreover, Robb's tactics are more effective than Tywin's. Robb has already conquered half of the Westerlands. If he sends troops again, that will be the base of the Lannister family.

Tywin can either continue to retreat and lose his hometown, which will cause a great blow to their morale.

Or he can come out and fight at the place chosen by Robb, losing all the first-hand advantages.

"Now except for the Blood Wolf Army, which is a regular army, we have no other regular army available. In order to conquer the Westerlands, I want to form another Winter Wolf Army."

When the name of the Winter Wolf Army was heard, the ministers below all looked serious.

This is an ancient name. During the Dance of the Dragons, the army of the North also sent soldiers to participate in the war, but when Lord Stark led a large army to the vicinity of King's Landing, the battle was over.

However, the North still left a strong mark in this war.

The Dustin family, where Lady Barbara was, the then Earl Dustin led a team of 2,000 people as the vanguard, that is, the team known as the Winter Wolf Army to join the battlefield.

The Winter Wolf Army had only 2,000 people, but launched five fearless charges against the Lannister Army at the time on the shore of the God's Eye Lake near Harrenhal. After defeating the Lannister Army, they only had 600 people left.

After that, these 600 people participated in the battle against the Riverland Army. With a difference of more than 10 to 10, they still defeated the Riverland Army, but the leader Earl Dustin also died on the battlefield.

Now Robb is ready to use troops against the Lannisters, and the Riverland is Robb's ally.

Robb used the name of the Winter Wolf Army, obviously wanting to deter the Lannisters and threaten the forces in the Reach that have not yet been assigned.

Robb continued: "These 10,000 people will be selected from the North, the Riverlands and the captive Ironborn with good performance. After that, each lord can send his soldiers back. These 20,000 standing troops are enough for the next battle."

Recruiting Minister Rickard Karstark and Great Jon did not make it too difficult this time. Robb's prestige had reached a certain level at this time. No lord could pretend to obey what he wanted to do.

This time's recruitment will definitely be unusually smooth.

Robb looked at the Queen of Thorns again: "This time, Tywin in King's Landing and the Hightower family in the south will definitely send troops to clear the West. The people in the Reach will be divided into two parts, one to resist the Hightower family, and the other to attack the West with me from the north and south."

Unlike the North, which can only squeeze out more than 20,000 people, the rich Reach can directly take out 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers.

The Hightower family and its affiliated forces have nearly 20,000 people, and Lord Redwyne's fleet accounts for about 10,000 people.

The rest are the Tyrell family and the forces loyal to the Tyrell family, adding up to more than 30,000 people.

And most of them are soldiers wearing plate armor. Although their combat effectiveness is somewhat inferior to that of the northerners, their equipment can make up for it.

The Queen of Thorns knows that in order to gain benefits, in addition to managing Harrenhal well, she must also contribute in battle: "Highgarden will take out 10,000 infantry to cooperate with His Majesty to encircle the Westerlands, and 20,000 infantry and cavalry will block the Hightower family on the plains."

Robb is going to fight a siege in the Westerlands, and cavalry is not very useful.

The Hightower family and the Rose family are fighting on a large plain like the Reach, and cavalry is naturally more useful than infantry, so the Queen of Thorns' arrangement is also very reasonable.

Robb nodded, satisfied with the Tyrell family's promise: "Lord Redwyne, you should communicate more with Sir Edmure recently. Your fleet is mainly used to transport food and supplies recently. Everything will be arranged by Sir Edmure."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Robb continued to look at the people of the Manderly family: "The second thing, Sir Wendel Manderly, my fleet has been allocated to you. You should communicate more with the city of Tyrosh in Essos. They should give us the supplies we need and buy the goods we want to sell.

Before the Arm of Dorne was broken, we were all from the same continent, so we should communicate well."

The ministers all felt that there was nothing wrong with Robb's approach.

Many of them were descendants of the Andals in Essos. The Andals invaded Westeros to rob resources. Later, they saw that the land here was also very good, so they robbed the land by the way.

Robb's practice of robbing them in turn, and even using the name of trade, was no different from doing charity.

After all, he could have robbed them directly, and now he was willing to give them something.

Ser Wendel Manderly was full of confidence: "Your Majesty, I will never let you down and will definitely spread your reputation and prestige to another continent!"

"One last thing, Harrenhal is now the capital of the Westeros Empire. The name of this castle is a bit old, and I decided to change it."

Robb's eyes became a little vague, thinking of some old friends.

"Let's change Harrenhal to Star City."

Robb commemorated the Star Age that he brought the world into after becoming the King of Elden. This city was named after the era.
