Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 450 Garcia Must Perish

In the Qiweini war hall full of people, everyone was arguing red-faced. All the well-known lords and knights in the Principality of Tanis attended this meeting, and all of them shouted loudly at their highest volume. because they both want to persuade others to accept their point of view.

"What! Are you going crazy to march into the royal city now!"

"Duke Garcia has died long ago. Should we just watch the self-proclaimed false king sit on the throne!"

"Everyone... please be quiet... and listen to the old man..."

"Shut up, old guy, we're going to die of old age after listening to you!"

Although the scene was almost out of control, Robert was leisurely humming a ditty with his legs crossed. This is the reason why he has always avoided becoming a descendant of Phoenix. For a person with a loose nature like him, even one such meeting of the abbot would be crazy So this kind of matter should be left to the man sitting in the middle of the hall to solve it.

At this moment, Stannis was sitting on his seat. The map behind him was still spread out on the wall, but it was almost covered with green, leaving only the small spot in the center still red, which was Garcia. The only royal city still controlled by the family, Tist, has echoed Stannis' call to pledge allegiance to him, and those who did not pledge their allegiance were also beaten and were not allowed to take the oath.

And around that little red dot, countless arrows pointing there, at least 5000 troops are advancing there, this time the city will be truly besieged, and after the last chaos, Garcia's regular army Most of them have already collapsed, and there are less than people defending the city. It can be said that the city can be captured by choosing automatic combat.

The people in the hall also know this, and now the point of contention is to wipe out all the Garcia family!
Of course, those families who had blood feuds with him wanted to dig out Duke Garcia and show his head to the public, but since he had been made into armor and taken away by mysterious orientals, most of them had to put their grievances on his son. The instigator of all this was Pedro, they were eager to attack Tiste in the next second, and arrested the false king and beheaded him to show his ashes to the public. Even more radical people demanded to hunt down and kill all the children of old Garcia. Except for Sophia who became Hillier's wife.

However, half of the lords disagreed. According to their intention, they wanted to arrest Pedro and deprive Garcia of all his military territory, and let him continue to be a nominal duke as a puppet, because they knew that the Duke of Tanis was after all. It was the emperor's personal seal, so hitting the Condor Empire in the face would only give the opponent an excuse to go to war. Tanis, who is still in the midst of a civil war, cannot bear the consequences of going to war with the empire.

The two groups of people who held different opinions were arguing fiercely, and these knights who were usually not good at speaking were even ready to draw their swords to cut each other. Facing this situation that was about to get out of control, Stannis, as the chairperson of the meeting, had to stand up and say sentence.

But when the Grand Maester Xiaona standing next to him looked anxiously at Stannis, she found that the latter was just playing with the scepter and the ring absent-mindedly. These are the tokens of Duke Tanis, although Stannis has already He got him, but there was no grand coronation ceremony. He just kept groping for these two items representing supreme power like a young child.

This made Xiaona worry. Could it be that he has been corrupted by this drug of power like those greedy rulers in history.

But Stannis' next move surprised everyone present.

He threw the scepter and ring like rubbish on the marble floor of the war meeting, and the crisp tinkling sound of metal hitting the ground echoed in the hall, which also silenced the quarrel in the hall for an instant.

Everyone focused their attention on Stannis, wondering what his action meant. Could it be that he wanted to give up the supreme power that was already within reach and take off the blood-stained crown?
Finally Stannis stood up, his tall body slowly walked into the center of the hall under the gaze of everyone, Robert also put his legs up on the table, holding his breath, trying to hear what Stannis was going to say next. say what.

"Everyone, please forgive me, the happiness of a loser is not to expect more happiness... and you and me, everyone sitting here are all losers."

Sure enough, everyone was stunned. They didn't understand why the king of Tanis, who was in the limelight, branded himself and everyone sitting there as a loser.

But Robert understood what he meant.

"As we all know, there was also a massive rebellion 15 years ago. They once fought all the way to the king's city, but I don't think I need to say the consequences. They failed, and the defeat was so thorough. In my opinion, their So the reason for the failure is because they play by the rules too much and believe that their enemies play by the rules too."

Some people began to nod their heads. They thought of the coalition forces that fell under the city of Tist more than ten years ago. The victor at that time, Garcia, did not follow the rules to release the prisoners of war, but massacred all 3 people. A nightmare that never goes away.

"So if we continue to follow the so-called rules of the game, defeating Garcia is still just to humiliate him rather than destroy him like other victorious wars, what we will end up with is still a failure."

"So now I will not repeat my failures again. What I say next, whether you agree or disagree, you must implement it! If you have any dissatisfaction now, you can leave this hall. Don't stop me, just remember, as long as you take a step here, you will be my enemy, the king of Tanis in Dongjing, Stannis Justin, please make a choice now."

His voice fell for a long time, but no one left, and everyone listened quietly to what he said next.

Stannis straightened up and held his breath. At this time, he seemed to be in the Roman Senate 2000 years ago, facing those suspicious, greedy prostitutes who only wanted to protect their own interests, just like Cato Shouting a declaration to completely destroy Carthage.

Ceterum censeo delendam esse Cathaginem!

"Gentlemen, in my opinion, Garcia must be destroyed!"

Without a single voice of opposition, just like the city of Carthage that was completely destroyed and sprinkled with salt on the scorched earth, the Garcia family that ruled the Principality of Tanis for fifteen years will also draw its full stop.
