Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web.

"It's a pity that Old Oak is just beyond the range of the ship's guns." Earl Valerian sighed regretfully, gazing at Old Oak on the shore.

The sea surged, horns blared.

Listening to the fleet commander's words, Garlan Tyrell remained silent, but his thoughts were more turbulent than the surging sea and the intense horns.

"That doesn't matter." Ser Robar Royce, the commander of the accompanying Guards Tenth Regiment, smiled confidently: "When the time comes, we can easily take it with our Guards, and we can also preserve this ancient castle from destruction."

"It's just right to leave a complete residence for Governor Garlan, which can be regarded as a token of our appreciation." Ser Robar Royce smiled at Garlan.

Garlan had no choice but to respond: "Thank you for your kindness, my lords. I'm fine with anything."

No one suggested negotiations. The king forbade it.

"Alas~" Earl Montford Valerian suddenly sighed: "There's nothing else to worry about. It's just Earl Mathos Rowan and Lady Ewyn Oakheart. If they insist on resisting, I'm afraid it will only increase the tragedy and create more bloodshed."

The atmosphere was momentarily silent.

After all, these leading commanders were all from noble families. For many years, they had been influenced and educated by their families, and they had come into contact with and befriended noble ladies. Their lives and dreams were inseparable from them.

But now they had to participate in an almost inevitable tragedy of extermination.

The Oakheart family of Old Oak, with its thousands of years of history, inherited from John 'Oak,' son of Garth Greenhand, was a great noble family renowned throughout the Seven Kingdoms.

Its motto, passed down through generations, was 'Deeply Rooted,' but now it was about to be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Regardless of their original feelings towards the Oakheart family, they couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow and sadness for it.

But.

After a brief moment of sadness, Earl Valerian and Robar Royce both looked at Garlan of House Tyrell.

The new Governor of Old Oak, Garlan Tyrell, was the executor of the Oakheart family's fate, and he would also be the biggest beneficiary, at least on the surface.

Their eyes were full of complex and profound meaning, not knowing whether they hoped Garlan would be lenient or decisively end it.

Garlan Tyrell's heart became heavier and heavier, and he had to clearly state: "It would be best if we could resolve it peacefully. But if the rebels of Old Oak are truly unrepentant and still want to stubbornly resist the city, I will never hesitate and fail to live up to His Majesty's trust!"

How to resolve it peacefully? They were not allowed to recruit, so were they expected to commit suicide?

Garlan did not hold any hope.

He understood in his heart that Highgarden had reached its most critical moment. His grandmother and elder brother had made concessions step by step in exchange for temporary stability. Now, it was his turn to take responsibility for the family and swallow the bitter fruit.

Even if it meant that he had to personally kill Old Oak.

"In the name of Garlan Tyrell, Governor of Old Oak, the traitors will only be dealt with according to the law, regardless of severity," Garlan said.

The other two silently shook their heads, not knowing whether it was admiration or dissatisfaction.

Garlan stopped speaking and turned to look at Old Oak in front of him, a castle that he was not unfamiliar with, but which was now full of swords and spears and covered with banners.

The most glaring thing was that among the four flags stuck on the gate tower, one was a golden rose.

In the center, the highest one was a large golden flag, undoubtedly the crowned stag flag used by Renly Baratheon, who had already failed.

To the left of the stag flag was a white flag.

Although it was not very clear, Garlan knew that the flag must have a golden tree on it.

The Rowan family of Goldengrove, originating from Rowan 'Goldentree,' daughter of Garth Greenhand. Its power was almost no less than that of the Tyrell family.

To the left of the Rowan family's golden tree flag was the Oakheart family of Old Oak's golden oak leaf flag.

The flags of the two families were about the same height.

Only one flag was erected to the right of the stag flag—a golden rose on a green field.

Slightly shorter than the stag flag.

But it was a section higher than the Rowan family's golden tree flag and the Oakheart family's oak leaf flag.

Garlan would rather see the golden rose flag erected at the lowest point.

At least that way, he would feel much better in his heart, and the world might also remember the Rowan and Oakheart families' arrogance and ambition towards the liege lord of Highgarden, and not just remember Highgarden's betrayal.

Woo— — — — — — — —

The sharp whistle spread among the fleet, drowning out the angry roar and threat of Old Oak's horns.

Wooden bridges were born out of thin air, and soldiers began to disembark.

Woo— — — — — — — —

In such a scene, Garlan didn't know why he thought of the meeting at Highgarden that day.

Highgarden had lost a lot.

After enfeoffing Garlan as 'Governor of Old Oak,' King Joffrey specifically gave instructions to his younger brother Loras, who was sitting on his left hand side in the first seat.

The king said: "The jurisdictions of the kingdoms will be redefined and divided."

His younger brother Loras certainly would not refute.

The king then said: "The 'First Governors' who are directly responsible to the court, like the Governor of Highgarden, are temporarily planned to be twelve in number."

Specifically, they were:

Governor of Highgarden to appease the Reach—Ser Loras Tyrell.

Governor of Casterly Rock to preside over the Westerlands—Duke Tywin Lannister.

Governor of Winterfell to guard the North—Duke Eddard Stark.

Governor of the Eyrie to oversee the Vale, to be determined.

Governor of Riverrun to govern the Riverlands—Duke Hoster Tully.

Governor of King's Landing to maintain the Crownlands—Minister Tyrion Lannister.

Governor of Storm's End to manage the Stormlands—Princess Daenerys Targaryen.

Governor of Sunspear to guard Dorne, to be determined.

Governor of Pyke to monitor the Iron Islands—Ser Theon Greyjoy.

So far, it was acceptable. That is, the sea monster family of the Iron Islands was raised by one level, and there were a few interesting candidates and vacancies. The defeated Highgarden certainly would not rashly stand out.

But the next three 'First Governors' made even Garlan, the second son, feel as if his flesh was being cut and his heart was being gouged out:

Governor of Ryamsport to protect the Arbor—Marquis Paxter Redwyne. Would the Arbor no longer belong to the Reach from now on?!

Governor of Summerhall to govern the Dornish Marches—Ser Jaime Lannister.

House Tarly's Horn Hill was located within the Dornish Marches. Without the barrier of Horn Hill in the Red Mountains, how would Highgarden respond to the high-altitude invasion from the direction of the Red Mountains?

Finally, Governor of Stonehouse, acting on behalf of the Central Province—Ser Kevan Lannister.

Lord Kevan was a good knight. But, the Central Province? Stonehouse was the territory of House Tully. Was the Riverlands to be cut off?

"Loras," the king projected a glowing, illusory map, "You are the Governor of Highgarden. See if there is anything you are not satisfied with. Just say it if you don't like it. It can still be changed."

Garlan and the others fixed their eyes and immediately heard a few exclamations of surprise, suppression, and indignation.

What Central Province! It was clearly the fertile land belonging to the Reach! Apart from a Stonehouse and two or three barren mountains in the Westerlands, the remaining territory was all划 over from the Reach!

What a cruel punishment!
