Spellcasting Heavens

Some people say that political struggles are dirty, and no one who participates is innocent, whether they are winners or losers.

Today, as the loser of the palace coup, Lord Eddard Stark is brought before the pulpit of Baelor's Great Sanctuary, ready to plead in full view of fictitious treason in exchange for the Starks and Lannisters Reconcile and avoid the outbreak of war.

Until now, he has not been able to understand why he failed, why so many people would rather choose the queen who committed ugly crimes, rather than the self who pays attention to principles and honor.

Of course, these are not important now, because according to the agreement, after the sentence is pronounced, he will give up all titles and rights, put on black, and go to the Great Wall of the North to spend the rest of his life as a night watchman.

Looking at the citizens who were constantly pointing and even yelling, Ed suddenly felt that he had made a mistake. He should not have come to King's Landing in the first place, and he should not have accepted the position of Prime Minister, because in this game full of conspiracy and betrayal , He didn't even have anyone he could trust.

Ironically, even the commoners now consider him a traitor, a careerist trying to spy on kingship.

Zhang Cheng stood in the crowd, silently watching the pulpit, watching what was about to happen, and suddenly asked without warning, Blanco, what do you think our King Joffrey will do with Eddard Stark? ?

Uh... I think it will probably be exile, or send the Great Wall to join the Night's Watch. After all, he is the leader of the Stark family, the guardian of the North. If the punishment is too severe, it is impossible to guarantee that war will not start. The old mercenary replied in an uncertain tone.

Hehe, your judgment is good. Normally Lannister will have to face Renly and Stannis' attacks next, so it would be wise to reach a peace agreement with the Stark family. But you ignored it. One point, what if someone deliberately tried to get in the way and let the lion and the wolf fight first? Don't forget, our new king's mental state is not very normal.

After that, Zhang Cheng raised his head again and looked up at the crimson comet that was getting closer and closer in the sky, his eyes were full of curiosity and desire.

Just when Blanco opened his mouth to say something, deafening shouts suddenly erupted from the crowd, followed by Joffrey in front of the pulpit in the distance, raising his right hand, not knowing what to announce, the former magistrate Ilyin. Pine pulled out a huge two-handed sword on the spot and held it high above his head.

next second...

puff!

The dazzling bright red spurted out, and Eddard Stark's head rolled to the ground, completely turning into a headless corpse.

Because of the speed of the whole process, Queen Cersei didn't have time to react, and when she stood up to stop her son's stupid behavior, it was too late.

At this moment, every dignitary present clearly realized that with Eddard's death, the war between Lannister and Stark was inevitable, and the turmoil and chaos would continue until one of them was victorious.

Branco stared blankly at the blood-soaked pulpit, and after a while exclaimed in disbelief: Seven gods! This is crazy! I seem to see Mad King Aerys Tanger in Joffrey. Lean's shadow.

Humph! Mad King? No, he is far worse than Mad King. Let's go, there is nothing to see here. Zhang Cheng sneered disdainfully, walked through the frenzied crowd, and walked along a wide street .

As he walked, he asked without looking back, How is the task I gave you?

Rest assured, Sir, I have long since replaced the entire thirty-five thousand with food at your request, and secretly stored it in an unremarkable old warehouse in the city. Even if King's Landing has been besieged for more than a year,

We don't have to worry about running out of food. The old mercenary swore to assure.

As the time together became longer and longer, he was more and more fortunate that he did not hesitate and made the most correct choice.

Because he found that his young master was like having the ability to predict, always being able to know the development of the situation one step ahead of others, and even before everyone realized that the war was coming, he started hoarding food and recruiting mercenaries early.

Don't think that just a few hundred mercenaries can't play a decisive role in thousands of battles.

On the contrary, since no one has noticed the existence of this mercenary for the time being, once the battle reaches a stalemate, they will immediately become the force that determines the outcome.

Hearing that the food was ready, Zhang Cheng nodded with satisfaction: Good job! By the way, are there any problems with those mercenaries?

Uh...for the time being, there won't be any problems. But I have to remind you that you should always let them hide in caves like this, maybe a few weeks to a month or two, but it must not be too long, otherwise the consequences of a rebellion will be unimaginable. . Blanco didn't mean to hide, and spoke out his concerns generously.

He wasn't sure what crazy things these bastards would do if they didn't let their energy out for a long time.

Okay, I see, let's go do your work. Zhang Cheng waved his hand indifferently.

Maybe others didn't know how long the rebellion lasted, but he remembered it very clearly.

According to the timeline given in the story, Eddard Stark died at the end of Aegon 298, and Renly, Stannis, and Robb were defeated in the following year.

This means that important turning points, including Scarlet Wedding, Battle of the Blackwater River, and Death of Tywin, will all happen in the next few months.

If described from the perspective of historians, the year 299 of Aegon's calendar is definitely a vigorous year.

This year, Zhang Cheng will also truly participate in the Game of Thrones, fighting against all kinds of players in the story and fighting for the fruits of victory together.

The only difference is that he grasps the general trend of the situation and knows when to take action to bring him the greatest benefit.

Looking forward to the chaos, Zhang Cheng walked through the lively streets and quickly came to the door of the house.

But before he could knock on the door, a petite figure suddenly emerged from the corner, grabbed his sleeve, and said in a low voice, Sir Mason! You said that if one day I ran into trouble, I could come to you for help, Is it right?

Are you...Alia?! Zhang Cheng quickly recognized the dirty girl, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

According to the original plot, Er Ya should follow the Night's Watch recruiter, Yoren, on the road back to Winterfell.

But now, because of his intervention, there has been a serious deviation, and this deviation is precisely what he least wants to see...
