Chapter 322 Fork in the Road(2/2)
"I'm not surprised at all. What surprises me is that the king didn't hold him accountable. It seems that my sister's weight in her husband's eyes is getting lower and lower." Tyrion tried to swallow.
I drank this bitter ale. The ale was dark brown and filled my mouth with the taste of fermentation. The taste was so strong that it was almost hard to swallow, but the taste was indeed mellow and rich. It was a pity that my father ordered the proprietress to be hanged.
"How is your war going?"
"So far, everything is going well!" Ser Kevan Lannister replied. "Ser Edmure dispersed his men into small groups and sent them to the borders of the territory to prevent us from making sneak attacks. Your father and I
Then we took this opportunity to defeat all its important fortresses one by one."
"Your brother Jaime won one battle after another." Lord Tywin added, "He first defeated the armies of Lord Vance and Lord Piper outside the Golden Tooth City, and then fought against Tully at Riverrun.
The main force of the family fought a decisive battle."
"In that battle, the princes of the Riverlands were defeated, and Ser Edmure Tully was captured along with many of his vassal knights."
"Earl Blackwood gathered a few remaining soldiers and fled back to Riverrun, and is now defending behind closed doors. Jaime is also stepping up the siege of the city, and most of the other princes fled back to their homes like birds and beasts."
"And your father and I are now exterminating them one by one." Ser Kevan said, "Without Lord Blackwood, Raventree City has almost no power to counterattack. Countess River's hesitation lacked manpower, so she had no choice but to offer her services to us.

"These two families do not pose an obstacle to our war. There is no need to worry about Walder Frey. Unless they smell the breath of victory, the Frey family will never send troops easily, and right now the air in the river is filled with
It smells of defeat." Lord Tywin analyzed.
"As for Jason Merrister...their family alone can hardly make any big waves, and there is no way they can fight against our army."
"Once Jaime captures Riverrun, the two families will naturally surrender to us." Tywin Lannister's tone was quite calm, "As long as the Stark family and the Duke of Goyuan do not send troops to assist, this fight in the Riverlands will be over.
We have already won the great battle."
"In fact, Duke Gaoyuan has already sent troops! Although there are only a thousand soldiers led by Brynden, he has already shown us the attitude of the East." Sir Kevan said solemnly.
"If it were me, I wouldn't be too worried about Duke Gaoyuan." Tyrion spread his hands, "But the Stark family is different. Lord Eddard..."
