I Only Want to Enjoy Life But My Little Sister Want Me to be King

Chapter 70: Chapter 70



I look at my people and say.

"Let's talk about the aftermath of this battle. Ser Willem, how many people were injured from your side?"

Willem looks at me and says.

"There are about one hundred people dead and five hundred people injured from the siege and charge. We already prepare the dead and make sure they are ready to be buried in their homes."

I nod, look at Melisandre, and say.

"Make sure to prepare compensation for their family. They have done their duty spectacularly, and it is my duty to make sure their family is taken care of."

"Of course, my lord. I shall inform the treasurer to give them the compensation for performing their duty."

"Good."

I look at Willem and say.

"Continue, Ser Willem."

"Yes, Your Highness. Other than the injured and dead, we need to repair the wall. Their trebuchet destroys a good chunk of the wall. As you can see, the wall is still standing, but we need to repair a good chunk of it."

"Then I shall send people to repair the wall, or I can quickly repair the wall."

"NO!"

I release a sigh when Willem and Mellisandre say at once. Melisandre looks at me and says.

"Please behave yourself, my lord. You are a king and the leader of our nation. Don't do anything that the smallfolk can do for you."

I nod and shrug.

"Sure. Just make sure to supply the others with the material they need."

"I shall do that. We can also ask the artisan from Braavos to help with the construction."

"Do that. Take as much gold as you want, but make sure to tell them I want it to be good and fast."

Just like back on Earth, this world has the rule of two: Cheap, good, fast, and pick two. To make it good and fast, it will be expensive. Lucky for us, we have a massive amount of gold back home. Minecraft for the win.

"I understand."

I look back at Willem and say.

"Is there more, Ser Willem?"

"One of the scorpions is destroyed in the siege. They get lucky and manage to land one of the stones right into the siege engine. Other than that, there is nothing worth noting, Your Highness. We will send some people to patrol around the territory to ensure no sellswords think they can harass our people. The retreating mercenary uses that kind of tactic after the war is over when their side is defeated. I know this will happen because of the reputation of the sellswords group that attacked us. They have a bad reputation. They are effective, but they are known to loot and r*pe their way through the territory they attack."

"We can rebuild the scorpion. Order the engineer to make more of them. As for the sellswords group… hunt them down. I don't want them in my territory. Take as many people as you want, Ser Willem. I will even send some people from Stellaris."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. We have enough people to do the job here."

"Very well. Anything else?"

"That is all, Your Highness."

I nod and look at Harlan, the Admiral of Solaris Kingdom.

"How is the situation at the sea, Harlan?"

"We manage to follow the unknown ship, and we know they are from Westeros, Your Highness."

I release a sigh and lean over my chair. I already have my suspicions about the unknown army that is attacking us. Because of them, my side has two hundred dead. Most of them died from the initial charges from them and the push from Myr's army.

While they are not wearing any heavy armor, the way they fight is so distinct that there is only one place that uses it. They fight like knights, and Westeros is the only place that uses that kind of fighting style.

"Urgh. I hate them for meddling in our business."

"Do you want to attack them, Your Highness?"

I look at Willem and shake my head.

"As much as I want to attack them, I'd rather not. Not yet, at least. They are too united for us to take down. We cannot fight against the united Westeros. Let's take care of Myr and Tyrosh first before we can think of fighting the Seven Kingdoms."

I look at Harlan and say.

"Continue."

"Yes, Your Highness. We decide not to follow them through the Stepstones and retreat. As you ordered, we don't want to go near Tyrosh."

"What about the ships in the strait? Have you taken care of them?"

"Yes, Your Highness. We manage to secure seventy ships while the other third cannot be recovered, and we decide to dismantle them, taking what we can take."

"What do you get from their ships?"

"Nothing worth noting, Your Highness. Golds, armor, arrows, weapons, and a few jewels."

"I see. Nothing good, then. At least we get seventy ships. They are not as big as ours but good enough to be used as patrol and fishing ships."

"Yes. In fact, that is what I want to talk to you, Your Highness. May I take fifty of them and use the ships as patrol ships? They are faster than any of our ships and a perfect ship to be used as patrol ships and scout ships."

"Take them. In fact, send someone to dismantle the ship and learn how to make them. We can use that kind of ship to be the scouting ships."

"I shall send some people to do that."

I nod and lean over the table.

"With that done, it is time we talk about the counterattack. Myr and Tyrosh attacked us without any justification. It is something we cannot leave alone. We will attack Tyrosh and Myr. However, I want your opinion on which place we should attack first."

The others nod their heads, and Harlan is the first one to say something.

"I think we should attack Tyrosh first, Your Highness. We need to fight the entire Stepstones, but when we take over that place, we will take over the entire Narrow Sea."

"While that sounds great, I must disagree with you, Admiral Harlan."

Willem looks at Harlan with a frown on his face.

"If we attack Tyrosh first and try to take over Stepstones, we will face the Seven Kingdoms. Stepstones is too close to Stormland, and when they hear about the incoming fleet, they will fight against the Seven Kingdoms, Tyrosh, and Stepstones simultaneously. We cannot afford to face them at once."

Harlan raises his finger but puts it down a second later. He nods his head and says.

"You are right. What do you suggest, Ser Willem?"

"We should attack Myr first and attack Tyrosh from Myr. We will march through land and lay siege against Myr. We can even ask the slaves in that city to revolt and open the gate for us from the inside. Myr is known for their harsh treatment of their slaves. They brand them using hot irons and collared them with a tight choker to let others know of their status. They will welcome us with open arms if we offer them freedom. They can open the gate for us or take us through a hidden passage that lets us open the gate."

I nod my head and look at Jaqen, who is standing behind me.

"What do you think, Jaqen? Can you create freedom fighters within Myr?"

Jaqen gives me a small smile and says,

"Of course, my lord. You shall have a freedom fighter within Myr in a month or two."

"Perfect."

I nod and look at Willem.

"We will start the march in two weeks. Make sure you prepare all the things we need."

Willem nods and says.

"Of course, Your Highness. We will not disappoint you!"
