Chapter 249 Blue Eyes

The Dornish people left just as they came, perfunctorily negotiating a marriage with the Iron Throne for a while and then hurriedly left King's Landing.

This situation makes many people feel strange. Those who believe that the Dornish people are sincere in the marriage are confused by the Dornish people's perfunctory attitude. Those who do not believe in the marriage and believe that the Dornish people are plotting are confused because the Dornish people have done nothing.

Except for Renly, no one in King's Landing knows the specific situation, but whether they know it or not, the future situation of Westeros is bound to change because of this.

In other words, there are new changes happening every day in and around the turbulent Westeros.

In the valley, the three rebel lords were surrounded by other valley nobles and huddled in the castle for passive defense. The attacking valley nobles were also reluctant to launch a strong attack——

Most of the castles in the Seven Kingdoms have thousands of years of history, and these historic buildings have been tested for a long time. They are basically very easy to defend and difficult to attack. A hasty attack is bound to cause huge losses.

So the valley lords started a war of attrition that was very common in this world. They surrounded the city with a large army and prepared to slowly kill the three rebel nobles.

However, judging from the information obtained by the Iron Throne, if we really continue to fight a war of attrition, then this war will take at least more than a year to end——

In terms of supplies, the valley itself can bear the burden. This does not require the Iron Throne to bear the burden. The Iron Throne can even watch from the sidelines. However, it is difficult to scare the monkeys in a war of attrition. At the same time, there are too many variables and it is definitely not a good idea.

Renly clearly opposed this in the royal council, but his opposition was useless, because no one was willing to bear the losses caused by a strong attack. Forcing the nobles of the valley to attack would only cause dissatisfaction and even resistance.

So the war in the valley began to take place.

The war situation on the Crab Claw Peninsula has made some progress. After the initial chaos, the bounty plan has initially been on the right track, but it will take a certain amount of time to completely defeat it.

In addition, the investigation teams that Renly "sent" to the Riverlands have also returned one after another, but they did not bring any new clues. They just claimed that there was a group of monsters making trouble there and that there were witches running rampant.

The monster Renly knew about it, and he had vaguely heard about a group of monsters, but the witch made him a little confused. However, the investigation team did not have any more clues about this. They only heard that there were witches and monsters hanging out there, but no one had seen it with their own eyes. It seemed very mysterious.

Renly was very curious about this, but unfortunately he needed to keep an eye on the situation in King's Landing, so he couldn't investigate anything personally.

In other aspects, there is nothing else. Generally speaking, the Seven Kingdoms are peaceful. The summers for several consecutive years have made the farmlands everywhere fruitful. From farmers to lords, the people of Westeros are getting richer and richer. Occasionally, there are nobles who bully men and women. When the news came, lords from all over the country went to solve it, and it basically had nothing to do with the Iron Throne.

Renly in King's Landing began to take action to control the evil forces in the city——

Changing the color of Robert's hair is not free. The deal with the Seven Gods is that the gods are responsible for "dying the hair", and Renly must rectify the law and order in King's Landing for this.

This is very simple for him as the Minister of Justice. The evil forces in King's Landing each have their own backers, but no matter how hard they rely on those backers, they can't rely on Renly. The fielding team) already has a basic control.

The important people need people, and they need a background, so the thieves and gangsters in King's Landing suffered a lot during this period.

Under high-pressure control, people continued to have their hands and feet mutilated, or were imprisoned in dungeons, waiting for the night watchmen of the Great Wall of the North to come and collect them. In serious cases, they were all hanged, and there were even new corpses on the walls of the Red Castle every day. Hanging high, lined up for people to watch.

Some people came to Renly to protest, and some came to negotiate with him secretly, but regardless of whether they were protesting or negotiating, they were all frightened into a cold sweat after seeing Renly. Do not intercede on behalf of others.

For a time, many people in King's Landing were full of resentment towards Renly, but those who supported him outnumbered those who hated him dozens of times. Every day, many civilians even came to the Red Keep and shouted Renly's name.

It was difficult not to attract the attention of the Fat King, but he laughed happily, thinking that his brother's behavior really made Baratheon look bad——

Robert didn't care who protested or anything, let alone those forces colluding with each other. In other words, as long as there was no big trouble, he basically didn't care about anything, good or bad.

Therefore, after passing the initial stage, some people in King's Landing gradually became accustomed to this high-pressure situation. Unknowingly, the security situation in the entire King's Landing city has also been significantly improved.

…

Just as King's Landing was launching an "anti-crime and eradication" operation, there was also turmoil outside Westeros.

Longships used for transportation or warfare were built one after another by the major shipyards in the Free Trade City. Slave soldiers from all over the country trained diligently every day to prepare for the war that was about to begin in the near future.

The thundering sound of horse hooves like an earthquake also sounded continuously from outside the cities of various places. It was the team of the nomadic Dothraki people who traveled across the continent of Essos. They were already preparing to form an alliance with some people in the Free Trade City-state, because The horse god they believed in had been urging them to go to the west, to the continent of Westeros, to kill and to find the door.

The joining of the Dothraki made many people ecstatic, because the number of warriors of this nomadic people was no less than 100,000, but some people were also worried.

"We should spread faith in the way that saved Westeros, rather than using barbaric acts such as conquest and invasion."

In a dim temple, a slender red-robed woman knelt under the majestic statue, talking to a sloppy monk behind her without looking back.

"What can we do about the decision made by the Supreme Priest." The sloppy red-robed monk sighed and said, "We have been in contact for so long, and there are less than 100 people who choose to support us. What can these people do?"

"The joining of the Dothraki makes those people full of confidence and they don't want to change their minds." The red-robed woman's voice was hoarse, and even revealed a hint of pain, which made the sloppy red-robed monk frown unconsciously.

"But that was a false god's method. In order to achieve his goal, Benero abandoned the true god and chose to collude with the false god. He is no longer worthy of being the Supreme Priest."

The sloppy red-robed monk ignored this sentence, but asked worriedly: "Are you okay, Melisandre?"

"The alliance with the Dothraki is doomed to fail. I saw it all in the holy fire." The hoarse voice said to himself, "They are doomed to fail."

The sloppy red-robed monk frowned even deeper, so he moved his footsteps and walked towards the woman kneeling under the statue. As a result, before he took two steps, the other party screamed.

"Don't get close to me--!"

The red-robed monk did not stop moving forward, but his footsteps accelerated. However, when he saw the other party's face clearly at this time, he couldn't help but stagger back.

The delicate heart-shaped face of the red-robed woman was pale at this moment, her eyes were closed and her expression was painful, and in the center of her eyebrows, there was an oval bulge that kept trembling, as if something was struggling under the skin, trying to break through the epidermis and drill out.

"Melisandre - you, what's wrong with you?" the sloppy monk asked tremblingly.

No one responded to his words, but as the words fell, the bulge on the red-robed woman's forehead trembled more severely. Finally, after a strange tearing sound, a bloody ice-blue eye suddenly opened from her brow, shook a few times, and stared closely at the frightened sloppy monk not far away.

The invisible force spread out, and the nervous monk's expression was stunned, and then his face became dazed.
