Chapter 386 Selection

"What on earth does Caesar want?"

Sir Desmond Redwyne looked at the wooden box on the table that exuded a strong smell of blood, his tone resentful.

At this moment, he returned to his room, only his wife Denise Hightower and father-in-law Earl Layton were present, so he no longer concealed his anger and dissatisfaction:

"He killed the heir of Qingting Island, and this is Paxter's last son, does he still want us to surrender sincerely?"

Earl Layton did not respond to his son-in-law immediately, but just stared at the wooden box lost in thought.

Finally, Mrs. Denise couldn't help but said:

"Father, what do you think Caesar means?"

"Isn't the meaning very clear?" Earl Layton finally spoke, but his tone was not very good, "Go back and trick Euron Greyjoy to kill him on Arbor Island, and the Redwyne family will be safe."

Sir Desmond slapped the table fiercely, growling:

"He killed Horace, and still wants the Redwyne family to work for him? Paxter is afraid to go crazy when he sees his son's head."

"So you better stop him from going crazy." Earl Layton said lightly.

"How to stop it?" Sir Desmond said, "When Hopper died in King's Landing, Paxter suspected that it was Caesar's murderer, and he just planted it on Gerald Dayne. Now Horace was killed by Caesar again, so How could Paxter tolerate my hatred?"

"Indeed, it is impossible for Paxter to reconcile with Caesar." Earl Layton still had that calm expression, "But don't you see it? Caesar doesn't care what the Redwyne family chooses at all. Qing You were out of the game when the Ting Isle fleet was crushed in the Dornish Sea."

Ms. Denise sighed and said:

"I also think that Caesar doesn't care about the Redwyne family at all. Perhaps by killing Horace, he is actually rejecting the Redwyne family's surrender in disguise."

Earl Layton sneered and said: 𝘧𝘳𝑒ℯ𝔀𝘦𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝗹. co𝐦

"Caesar really doesn't want the Redwyne family to surrender. After all, he has conferred the title of Earl of Arbor Island to Lucas Dane. If you surrender, he will not be able to deprive the Redwyne family of their fief. How does he explain to Lucas who has made great contributions?"

"So he deliberately pushed the Redwyne family to the opposite side?" Sir Desmond asked angrily, "Is he too confident? Even if the Arbor Island fleet suffered heavy losses, the Redwyne family is still rich and powerful, and there are still people in the port. There are dozens of warships, and there are thousands of experienced sailors among the people."

"Caesar is indeed confident, even if you say he is arrogant. But he has the qualifications to be arrogant." Earl Layton said in a deep tone,

"As early as four years ago, when he came to Old Town, I saw that this person was not simple, even at that time he was just a pioneer knight who didn't even build a castle.

Who would have thought that in such a short time, he would become the Storm King, ruling the Reach, and even Dorne might not be able to bear the price of being an enemy.

The Redwyne family is certainly powerful, but before the Battle of Dorne, would you have thought that the mighty Arbor Island fleet would lose to a Stormland fleet that had just been established less than two years ago? "

Sir Desmond said unconvinced:

"Caesar is indeed powerful, but he hasn't reached the point of covering the sky with one hand. Duke Tywin has pacified the northern border. In this way, the north of the Blackwater River is the Lannister's world. Sooner or later, there will be a decisive battle between the lion and the double-headed eagle. Caesar may not win the final victory."

"I think Caesar will definitely win." Earl Layton said.

Ms. Denise asked puzzledly:

"Father, are you so optimistic about Caesar? You know, that's Tywin Lannister! And the lion has the five territories of the North, West, Riverland, Valley, and Kingland, but Caesar only has the Reach and the Storm land and land."

"It can't be counted like this." Earl Layton shook his head, "There is an essential difference between nominally controlling a realm and completely controlling a realm.

Under Tywin, the northern princes will not easily surrender to the Bolton family. Countess Anya Waywood in the valley is difficult to control the situation. As for the riverland, it is even worse. Duke Hoster Tully is dead. Mu is still a prisoner in Dorne, and the nobles in the river are scattered, and the most powerful family, the Frey family, is still entangled with the Stark family...

So, in fact, what the lion can really control is the Western Territory and the Royal Territory. But these two areas combined are not as rich as the River Bend area, and the number of troops that can be mobilized is not as good. "

"What if Caesar can't completely control the Reach?" Sir Desmond said suddenly.

Earl Layton glanced at his son-in-law and immediately understood what the other party meant, but did not respond.

Ms. Denise said:

"Caesar's control over the river bend is still very strong now. The deer party has been cleaned up, the Duke of Metz has bowed his head and surrendered, and now Miss Margery has given birth to Caesar's eldest son. In this case, the nobles of the river bend must be Caesar The head of the horse is looking forward."

"There has never been any 'certainty'." Sir Desmond stared into Earl Layton's eyes, and said pointedly, "Father-in-law, what do you think?"

Earl Layton snorted coldly and said:

"Don't make any crooked ideas about the Hightower family, I won't stand up for you."

"Of course I won't ask you to stand up for the Redwyne family. I just think that the Hightower family should reconsider their position. Father-in-law, if Caesar sits on the Iron Throne, the princes of the Reach will definitely benefit most from the tower." No doubt the Li family, but what about next?

is the Tyrell family, and then the Rowan family. As for Hightower, hehe, if you don't like to hear it, Caesar may not tolerate such a powerful Hightower to continue to be the uncrowned king of the river bend. "

Earl Layton smiled slightly and said:

"Desmond, do you know why I think Caesar will win?"

"Why?"

"You should have noticed that Caesar is already preparing to mobilize the army to cross the river to attack King's Landing."

"Yes, but I think he is too anxious and arrogant. He may not be able to win Lannister now."

Earl Layton shook his head:

"Caesar is in a hurry, but not because of arrogance. It's because winter is coming."

"Winter is approaching, shouldn't the war be postponed?"

"Yeah, in fact, it is more beneficial for Caesar to suspend the war." Earl Layton said, "When winter comes, the disasters in the north will definitely be more serious than in the south, and this winter is unusual, White Walker, well, even if you don't believe this The thing exists, but at least it is a fact that the savages are going south.

These savages are Lannister's trouble, and they will never kill them in the south. Therefore, Caesar can develop safely and let the cold wind of winter weaken Lannister.

But he didn't do it. Instead, they are trying their best to speed up the progress and try to unify the seven countries as soon as possible. To this end, even willing to take some unnecessary risks. "

"Why did Caesar do this?" Mrs. Denise asked her husband's doubts again.

"White ghosts." Earl Layton breathed out, "Believe it or not, but the cold winter wind is about to blow, bringing terrifying demons. The people of Westeros will face cruel tests. That's why Caesar Anxious to unify the Seven Kingdoms before the end of the autumn, in response to the disaster in the north."

Seeing Sir Desmond's suspicious expression, Earl Layton said again:

"I'm not trying to persuade you, and no matter what you choose, no matter what the Redwyne family chooses, the Hightower family will not betray Caesar at this time. In my opinion, he is the one who really cares about Qi The people of the country are more qualified to sit on the Iron Throne than anyone else."

Sir Desmond bowed his head in silence after hearing the words, his eyes struggling.

After a long time, he spoke again, saying:

"Father-in-law, can you take care of Dennis and Dennis for me?"

Earl Layton seemed to understand something, showing a relieved smile:

"My daughter and grandson, of course I will take good care of them."

"Okay." Sir Desmond saluted solemnly, then picked up the wooden box and was about to go out.

Ms. Denise suddenly panicked, grabbed her husband and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Sir Desmond patted his wife's hand and comforted him:

"I'm going to fight for a future for the Redwyne family."
