Chapter 323: Tiget
The Lannister family's western territory is very close to the Iron Islands, and the Westerly is famous for its richness. It has been harassed and plundered by the Iron Islands for thousands of years. The two sides have a thousand-year blood feud, but they have never thought that they will cooperate with the Iron Islands one day.
For this, Tyget Lannister feels very awkward.
As a member of the Lannister family who has lived in Casterly Rock on the west coast of Westeros for generations, Tyget Lannister has always had a bad impression of the Ironmen, who are barbaric, bloodthirsty, and have no faith...
The Iron Islands rebellion after the establishment of the Baratheon Dynasty also fully proved the unruly nature of the Ironmen. At that time, Tyget Lannister led the Lannister family's army to fight bravely, broke through several Ironmen castles in succession, and launched a bloody massacre, just to avenge his own fleet that was burned by the Ironmen.
As a result, only more than ten years later, he led the Lannister army to support the Ironborn...
"We should be on guard against them, my lord, and don't be fooled by those iron bastards."
When the Seafront City was in sight, a subordinate suggested this, and Tygett Lannister did not comment on it.
He couldn't be sure how the rumored magical Renly persuaded the Ironborn, but the Ironborn have always been ungrateful and untrustworthy. Even if they have clearly stood in his camp at this time, they must not be trusted.
But things have come to this point, and no matter how much they don't believe it, they can't stop the cooperation between the two sides.
There are many troops besieging the Seafront City, and the army Lannister brought this time is only 30,000, and they are all newly trained recruits. However, the west wall of the Seafront City faces the sea. Even if there are enemies blocking there, it can't stop the army from rushing in on a large scale.
They still successfully settled in the castle.
Then Tygett Lannister saw Renly Baratheon, who was the most popular during this period.
Tyget Lannister was in awe of this Baratheon, or rather, he had always been in awe of this kind of mysterious person over the years.
Because he had been seriously ill, the maesters with superb medical skills could not cure him at all. It was his brother Tywin who thought of the strange incident at his daughter's wedding and invited a witch to help him, which made him recover.
Since then, Tyget Lannister knew that the world was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
So the reckless and irritable Tyget Lannister suddenly became more humble and restrained, and gradually became his brother Tywin's right-hand man. Whether it was leading troops in battle or managing internal affairs, he was very good at it, and his voice in the Lannister family was increasing day by day.
But in fact, since his recovery, Tyget Lannister's interest in ordinary government affairs and family rights has basically disappeared, and only the mysterious and incomprehensible supernatural things can attract his attention.
So when Lannister sent out the army this time, he volunteered to lead the army, mainly for the purpose of seeing Renly Baratheon who was here.
He was not disappointed.
Although he spoke very little, this Baratheon looked particularly mysterious in both appearance and temperament, and he obviously felt that he was not ordinary, making it difficult for Tygett Lannister to overlap him with the naughty child ten years ago.
At the same time, he could feel from the emotions of the ironmen in the castle that they were very enthusiastic and trusting of this Baratheon, which surprised Tygett Lannister secretly.
No one knew the character of the ironmen better than him, but now they seemed to have become loyal subordinates of this Baratheon - when he was in the West, he had heard that Renly was the son of the Drowned God, but he thought it was just a deception by Renly using special means, but from the attitude of the ironmen, it seemed that simple deception was not enough to explain this situation.
However, compared to the reaction of Renly and the Ironborn, Tygett Lannister was more concerned about another situation, that is, there were werewolves in the castle here!
The Westerlands and the Riverlands are close to each other, and Tygett Lannister is fascinated by all kinds of mysterious events. Even the witch who healed him was from the Riverlands, so he actually knew the existence of this kind of humanoid wolf-headed monster. They are the culprits of the demise of the Frey family in the Twins, and they are also cruel beings who slaughtered many humans in the Riverlands.
As a result, these werewolves have become loyal guards to protect the Sea Border City. They look obedient and well-behaved, and there is no trace of the rebelliousness and violence in the legend.
It is said that this is still the work of Renly, and these monsters were originally enemies.
This makes Tygett Lannister, who was already in awe of Renly, even more submissive.
He is not a timid person. As a Lannister, Tygett has the pride and courage of a lion, but who is he facing?
The messenger of the Seven Gods, the son of the Drowned God, was now able to subdue this terrifying monster from the hands of the enemy, and it was said that it was easy... How many tricks did this Baratheon have that outsiders didn't know about?
Tyget Lannister couldn't have predicted it, but silently, his resistance to cooperating with the Iron Islands dissipated a lot, or rather, with the presence of Renly, he couldn't have the slightest idea of disobeying.
The attitude of the people of the Iron Islands seemed to be the same as his. After this contact, the Ironmen behaved very honestly, without any provocation or unruliness, which was completely different from the rebellious impression of Tighet Lannister. The initial cooperation between the two sides was quite pleasant, and he was secretly relieved.
After a period of guarding the city, the relationship between the two sides became more harmonious. If it were not for the hatred for many years, they might even have a friendly atmosphere. However, the current situation alone is already very good. There is no drag on the other side, no major conflict, and some minor frictions will not stir up much waves. Silently, it seems that there is a kind of power in Haijiang City that always suppresses the soldiers' unruliness.
Logistics, frontline, arranging city defense, guarding the city for days, the West Border Army and the Ironmen repelled wave after wave of enemies, which also deepened the harmony of this cooperation. At the same time, observing the werewolf monsters up close also reduced the awe in Tighet Lannister's heart, but the fear always exists.
These monsters have strong vitality, strong strength, quick reaction, and no weaknesses. They are difficult to deal with, and can even be called terrifying. For this, Tygett Lannister can only be thankful that they belong to his camp and he doesn't need to worry about it.
But while he was thankful, he vaguely remembered another thing, that is, a letter from the Red Castle in King's Landing not long ago. The letter was written by his niece Cersei, and the handwriting showed hostility and planning towards Baratheon.
"I hope she doesn't do stupid things." Tygett thought secretly.
He has a good relationship with his niece, but he cares more about the future of the Lannister family. At this time, Baratheon is very powerful. If his niece really intends to do something unfavorable to Baratheon, then he will only persuade his brother to give up this daughter, so as not to implicate Lannis and suffer misfortune.
Apart from other things, Renly alone has made him not know how to deal with him, and he has no idea of being hostile to him.
