Some time has passed since the news that winter is coming.


Ed stark, Duke of Winterfell, disbanded the northern army that had gathered to join the war, and let them hurry to return to their hometown to prepare for the coming cold winter.

Tens of thousands of troops in the North disappeared in an instant, directly casting a thick shadow on the war Robert wanted to organize.

I can't see the future.

After all, the North has always been King Robert's most powerful supporter. Now the North has given up supporting the iron throne, and it is even harder to say how loyal the nobles in other places are.

Then in the meeting in the throne hall, the lights in the hall were bright.

Brocade symbolizing the "crown stag" emblem of the baratheon family hung on the wall, and Robert, the fat king, sat on the cold iron throne.

The dignitaries of King's landing stood in a pile on both sides below.

Former Prime Minister Jon Aylin, captain of the royal guards, balistan selmi, Minister of finance, Minister of justice, Stannis as Minister of maritime affairs, and chief intelligence officer Wallis were at the forefront of the crowd.

Then this time there was no round to say anything to Jon Erin, the "vanguard of anti war".

Below, there are nobles who can't wait to stand up and persuade his majesty to give up the idea of cross sea warfare.

The cost and price of cross sea combat are too huge, and the harvest is very few. Of course, these nobles are unwilling to do it.

What's more, the news that winter is coming has come.

If it is a normal winter, the impact of winter may not be very serious in other places except in the north and Hejian.

However, the number of grain harvests decreases in a year. Hoarding more grain can solve this problem. The most serious problem is to stop production and hide at home. The noble lords will not be frozen to death.

The valley and the West have high mountains as barriers, which can slightly isolate the southward movement of cold air, at least not so cold.

The northern boundary is connected with the land between the rivers, which is also an endless plain. The cold air flow can directly make this large land, including King's landing, and even reach the river bend, all covered with silver.

As for Dorn, it's nothing. The broken mountains block the pace of winter, and it itself is at the southernmost end of Westeros, which is relatively just a breeze.

However, in the most serious north and Hejian, when winter comes, if the people here are not well prepared, they are likely to not survive this long winter.

Jon Erin kept silent. As the first former prime minister after the war, his greatest responsibility was to bring the country out of the quagmire of war and restore the economy.

Therefore, he has always tried to avoid war, but the reality does not allow him to do so.

He also knew that the threat of the dragon must be eliminated, but the cold winter was coming, and the current state of the country did not support him to fight this war.

The old prime minister doesn't know what to do now.

However, he kept silent, and the anti war voice below was still like a tide.

It makes sense that people don't want to fight in winter.

Because no one wants to go out to fight. When he comes back, his wife and children have been frozen to death and starved to death in the cold wind.

Ed stark, Duke of Winterfell and His Majesty's good brother, therefore wrote a letter to King's landing to explain the matter to Robert.

Although Robert was still very angry and smashed the bedroom again, the beautiful blonde queen lived in another room with a black face that night, leaving Robert alone to guard the broken bedroom.

However, after his anger, Robert had to accept this reality.

Even the king could not ask the soldiers in the north to abandon their families and go on an expedition to andalos in spite of the coming of winter.

If he did, I'm afraid not only the soldiers would mutiny, but even his good brother ed would turn against him.

Finally, Robert could only bear this breath. Even if the northern army couldn't come, he could gather the strength of the other six countries to kill the damned tangaryan.

Now, when the name of wesselis is mentioned, Robert hates his teeth itching and wants to chew him alive.

However, polarization was just hate, and Robert had no way to take him.

He hid too far. If andalos and Westeros were on the border, Robert would have fought in person and gave him all the other party's ashes.

But the sea that separates the two continents has become the most insurmountable barrier.

Just as the andals invaded Westeros, it took nearly a thousand years for the andals to fully dominate the war with their ancestors and the son of the forest.

Robert now wants to cross the sea in a short time to solve the enemy on the other side of the sea.

Now?

Robert sat on the cold iron throne and looked down at the nobles who opposed him like a wave. His fists were clenched tightly, and his blood gradually surged up.

If there were only one or two nobles, Robert would never mind cutting off their heads and hanging them on the head of the Red Castle.

However, there are so many people now that almost no one wants to send the young people in their territory to fight at this time point.

"Enough!"

"You bastards with butt on your head!"

Then without any warning, King Robert suddenly lost his temper and threw down the cup in his hand.

Snap——

The expensive glass cup broke and directly smashed the nobles who petitioned below.

And suddenly something happened, and the nobles below trembled and dared not speak.

"Dragon!"

"That guy wesselis already has a dragon!"

The fat Robert stood up from the Iron Throne and was furious. His black beard was like a steel wire ball, and the sound was like thunder echoing in the throne hall.

"We don't strangle the dragon in its cradle before it grows up. Should we burn the waste raised by you sows in the castle when the dragon grows up?"

When AEGON conquered Westeros with three dragons, he once burned the so-called "invincible" helenburg into a melting pot, and the stones certainly wouldn't burn. However, the Dragon flame roasted helun hall, the last king of the iron islands and the land between the rivers, and his wife and children, old and young, alive in the castle.

Now Robert is angry and mentions the most famous tragedy more than 290 years ago.

The nobles below trembled and dared not refute the angry King Robert.

In Robert's eyes, the nobles who shrunk their heads and dared not speak below were like moths.

Once he hit King's landing, these nobles who had sworn allegiance to tangaryan immediately bent their knees and surrendered. Without even resisting, they began to praise the merits of the baratheon family and denounce tangaryan's sins.

At that time, Robert still had some high spirits, but now Robert suddenly realized that if one day tangaryan would call King's landing again, I'm afraid these people would change their faces.

But while Robert was angry in the throne room.

Located behind the Red Castle, Queen cersei in Meige building suddenly received the news brought by the maid.

"Here comes father?"

Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, the elegant blonde stood up from the seat, which was incredible.

Then he thought about it and waved his hand.

"Tell your king."
