Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 208 Night Raid

Everyone noticed Littlefinger.

Petyr Baelish.

All he possessed was a minor family with no reputation, having just wandered over from across the Narrow Sea.

In those years, his rapid rise in the court surprised and dissatisfied many.

Relying on his special relationship with Lady Lysa, the lowly Littlefinger deceived Lord Jon Arryn, the Hand, gaining his trust and favor, and by constantly flattering King Robert and showing off tricks and petty cleverness, he actually ascended all the way to the position of Master of Coin!

Him?

What virtue or ability did Littlefinger possess?!

Fortunately, his true colors were quickly exposed.

Using the power of the Master of Coin, Littlefinger manipulated commerce, profiting from the fluctuations in commodity prices, issuing loans, and earning high interest, while the common people and merchants suffered.

How could such a greedy person not target the wealthy treasury?

Under Littlefinger's management, no one could know the specific details of the treasury's accounts. The only thing known was that King Robert's extravagance was satisfied, and he even intended to appoint Littlefinger to manage the treasury.

How many gold dragons were left in the treasury? Only Littlefinger knew the real answer.

Some lords even knew that Littlefinger was not a miser, cherishing every gold coin he received and unwilling to spend it.

In fact, most of Littlefinger's gold dragons were probably used to recruit henchmen.

In the Red Keep, King's Landing, and the Seven Kingdoms, besides Varys's little birds, the eyes that Littlefinger bought with money were also a major nuisance, annoying people.

Unfortunately, King Robert and Lord Jon Arryn failed to see his true face and continued to trust him.

This went on for so many years.

Littlefinger and the Spider colluded, and the court was plagued by lowly flatterers, creating a foul atmosphere.

Righteous people were all heartbroken by this.

Finally, this treacherous villain received his due punishment.

King Robert signed a secret decree on his return journey, ordering the arrest of Littlefinger and Varys. The two villains fell together.

Countless people applauded.

Although the tragic punishment of being reduced to a human stump was inevitably frightening, people optimistically thought that the atmosphere of the court could finally improve.

However, the situation changed rapidly.

Before King Robert could take another look at King's Landing, he was killed by a lizard-lion that inexplicably emerged from the Neck. It was said that Bloodraven, who was hiding beyond the Wall, used witchcraft to poison him.

Bloodraven Brynden Rivers? He's not dead? Witchcraft is real?

Prince Joffrey ascended the throne as the new king and confirmed the existence of Bloodraven during the trial in the throne room, making Littlefinger and Varys's crimes somewhat excusable, so they were spared their lives.

Is that really the case?

The reappearance of the Children of the Forest became the strongest evidence, and no one could question it.

That's right.

After that, the world became even more magical.

King Joffrey displayed a miracle during his coronation and bestowed divine power upon his subordinates, creating an unimaginable communication network.

Littlefinger was thus reborn in the light screen.

Many people heard his voice and saw his name again.

But this time, Littlefinger's identity was no longer the high-ranking Master of Coin, but just a temporary, inconspicuous clerk.

Most people were happy with this. Seeing Littlefinger in this state was finally pleasing.

But now.

Littlefinger actually appeared alive and well in front of everyone, with all his limbs intact.

Lord Vance of Wayfarer's Rest said faintly, "Petyr, now that even the 'Littlefinger' of the Fingers has been stripped away due to your crimes, what should we call you?"

Everyone looked at Littlefinger.

The king spared him, fine, but what was he sent here for? More importantly, having lost the titles of Master of Coin and Lord, in what capacity was he participating in the talks, and what qualifications did he have to ask questions?

Littlefinger sighed softly.

"Lord Vance, just like back in Riverrun, you can call me 'Little Petyr'."

"After you妄想攀附凯特琳夫 人、与布兰登决斗之后?" Lord Vance grunted, "Forget the past and start over."

"No," Littlefinger said with a sad look, "I can't forget, and I don't want to forget."

Lord Clement Piper of Pinkmaiden Castle chuckled coldly, "What a sincere expression, so touching. Spare us, Littlefinger. Who doesn't know what kind of person you are?"

Littlefinger blinked, his eyes regaining calmness, "Lord Piper, I won't lie on this matter."

Someone else wanted to argue, but Blackfish finally spoke, "I have a different opinion."

Everyone immediately stared at Blackfish.

Brynden Tully glanced at Littlefinger, unnoticed by anyone except Littlefinger himself, who knew that Blackfish still remembered the old days.

"We have an absolute advantage."

Brynden Tully said, "Forgiveness and victory can be achieved together. Without using cannons, launch a night raid, strike directly at the enemy camp, and subdue the rebels at the smallest cost and with the fewest deaths, and take them for our own."

Blackfish looked at Jaime Lannister, "I believe Ser Jaime is prepared."

"Gods grace us." Jaime replied.

Lord Ryger Rivers of Duskendale asked Blackfish, "Shouldn't we send envoys to demand surrender first? Wouldn't it be better if it succeeds?"

Everyone was furious and secretly cast dissatisfied glances at him.

Wasn't the whole point of coming to Stone Hedge to fight for victory and glory? To have them surrender without a single sword stroke? Who would get the credit?

Fortunately, Blackfish was unmoved: "We shouldn't alarm the rebels in advance and make them vigilant. Instead of taking the risk of negotiating, it's better to take action directly. If all goes well, this could be over before tomorrow morning."

Lord Commander Jaime Lannister looked around, "Does anyone else have a different opinion?"

No one answered.

Jaime looked at his uncle Kevan, "Lord Kevan, what do you think?"

Kevan Lannister had been silent all along, and now he simply nodded steadily, giving his nephew ample trust and support.

Obviously, the two generals appointed by the king had already distinguished their roles.

"Then let's do it this way."

Jaime clenched his fist, "Adopt Plan Two and execute the night raid."

Everyone knew the general arrangement of this plan.

"I am willing to be the vanguard!" Ser Addam Marbrand took the lead in volunteering, his voice impassioned, looking impatient.

Littlefinger watched quietly.

Addam Marbrand, with his dark copper-colored hair, continued to speak, guaranteeing to complete the mission beautifully.

Littlefinger knew him. Addam Marbrand, the heir to Ashemark in the Westerlands, a highly valued cavalry commander under Duke Tywin.

It is worth noting that.

Addam Marbrand was a page in Casterly Rock as a child and has been a close friend of Jaime Lannister for many years.

Seeing that Jaime Lannister was about to agree, the young people couldn't sit still.

"Lord Jaime, please send me to battle!"

Coryll Vance, the heir to Wayfarer's Rest, spoke first.

"If I lead the vanguard, I will surely capture Ser Jon Fossoway alive!" Marco Piper, the heir to Pinkmaiden Castle, followed closely, his target directly at the rebel commander.

"Lord, I…"

Jaime laughed heartily, sighing inwardly. The people of the Vale and the Riverlands were blinded by the glory of victory.

This time, Blackfish could not escape.
