#500 - Chapter 232: Visiting to Persuade Surrender

At the siege command post, the frontline general who received the report came outside to greet the special envoy from the temporary capital. When the convoy stopped, the door of the most ornate carriage in the middle opened. Brienne of Tarth stepped out, wearing rose-gold armor. She had been serving as a guard for the Stark family for the past few years, and many people recognized her. Then she stepped aside to reveal Tyrion Lannister behind her, the temporary Prime Minister of the Imperial Cabinet.

Edmure Tully: "It's you, Imp, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in King's Landing as Prime Minister? Why would the Queen send you to Casterly Rock?" During the many years of war, the Riverlands had always been on the losing side. The Tully family and the Lannister family had a deep-seated feud, so Edmure naturally didn't have a good attitude towards Tyrion.

Tyrion naturally understood Edmure's thoughts, and said, "I'm here, of course, on the orders of Her Majesty the Queen. Her Majesty has officially named me Duke of Casterly Rock, and the Westerlands will be my territory from now on. I'm here to take over the territory, and also to persuade the people inside to open the city and surrender."

Another general stepped forward and asked, "Lord Tyrion, do you have Her Majesty's written order?"

"Of course, this is it." Tyrion took out a scroll and handed it to him.

The general took it, opened it, and examined it carefully. After the establishment of the empire, Daenerys made some reforms in internal affairs. The Prime Minister no longer possessed power second only to the monarch. All government orders had to be drafted by the cabinet and then approved and implemented by the Queen, of course, this was only limited to important matters.

The general returned the order and said, "Since it is Her Majesty's order, Prime Minister Tyrion, what do you plan to do? I will fully cooperate with you."

Edmure: "General Uronos, he and Jaime are brothers. What if they have some conspiracy? It might be detrimental to the empire."

Uronos sternly stopped him: "Duke Edmure, please watch your words. Lord Tyrion carries Her Majesty's warrant and represents the Queen's will. As the Prime Minister of the Empire, you should also maintain due respect."

After the empire's restructuring, a standing army of 100,000 men was established, based on Liu Yuan's army and the Beast-Faced Army. The armed forces of local lords and the Dothraki cavalry served as auxiliaries to conquer the remaining forces in the south. Uronos was an imperial army general, and his voice in the army was more important than Edmure's. If it were major lords like Robb and Edmure, they could refute and even refuse to execute orders if their commands violated the Queen's will.

Edmure was refuted and retreated, sulking. Uronos continued, "Lord Tyrion, what do you need us to do?"

Tyrion: "Just send the two of us to the gate."

At this time, in Casterly Rock, Jaime was contemplating the current predicament. He had received news of the surrender of various families in the Westerlands, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. Now, he faced a difficult choice: continue to defend Casterly Rock, waiting for the enemy to massacre the city after the supplies were exhausted? Or choose to surrender for the sake of the soldiers and the people, at the cost of his own life and possibly the destruction of his entire family?

While troubled, Tygett walked in. Seeing him hesitant, Jaime took the initiative to ask, "Uncle Tygett, what's the matter? Are the enemies preparing to attack?"

Tygett said with a complex expression, "The Dragon Queen's special envoy has arrived and is currently waiting outside the city. The person who came is Tyrion!"

Jaime put down the pen in his hand and showed a smile: "Tyrion is home, this is a good thing! At least many innocent people will not die. Bring him in, I will wait for him in the Hall of Heroes."

The Lion's Mouth, the natural giant cave that serves as the main entrance to Casterly Rock, had its huge city gate, which was originally open, tightly closed. Returning home again, Tyrion felt a lot of emotions, and he stroked the copper nails on the city gate.

Brienne stood upright, her eyes fixed on Casterly Rock, as if she wanted to see through the rock wall. Tyrion said, "Don't be so nervous! You will be able to see Jaime soon, and if you are not satisfied, you can beat him up."

"Squeak, squeak," a吊篮 was lowered from the city wall, and Tygett's voice came from above: "The Duke agrees to see you, but the city gate cannot be opened, so you can come up from here."

The group walked on the Golden Gallery. The originally splendid gallery was now dull and dim. Tyrion asked, "Uncle Tygett, is the family so poor?" He couldn't help but wonder, the original gold plating on the gallery had been pried off, and it was mottled everywhere.

Tygett sighed: "Alas~ Jaime is actually quite difficult. Casterly Rock's gold mine was actually exhausted when your father was still alive."

They arrived at the Hall of Heroes, and some of the armors displayed on both sides were also missing. At the end of the hall, a group of people sat there. They were all important members of the Lannister family from the previous generation, including Gerion Lannister, Stafford Lannister, and Damon Lannister, as well as their sons and Jaime's peers.

Tyrion walked into the hall and stood opposite Jaime. Brienne unceremoniously dragged a chair from the side and placed it in the center. Tyrion sat directly on it and said faintly: "Everyone, long time no see. I didn't expect to meet again in such a scene. Today, as the Queen's representative, I cannot salute you."

Jaime: "Tyrion, I understand you. Just tell me the bad news directly."

Tyrion was also a little moved. "I'm very sorry, Jaime, our sister is dead. After we occupied the Red Keep, we found Cersei's body, and I personally collected her. Although she didn't like me, she was also one of my few relatives."

Jaime covered his face in pain, trying not to cry! Although Cersei almost ruined his life, she was also the person he loved the most. After a long time, Jaime stabilized his emotions and asked: "You came here in person this time to persuade me to surrender, right? What conditions did your Queen offer?"

Tyrion: "The Queen demands that the Lannister family surrender unconditionally immediately! Then I will be the head of the family, and the position of Warden of the West will be revoked. At the same time, all the lords of the Westerlands must pledge allegiance to the empire. As punishment, the armed forces of all lords will not exceed the standards set by the empire in the future. And Jin Ya City, Riverrun City, and Deep Pit City will be stripped away... as territories directly under the empire."

Damon said angrily: "This is simply destroying the Lannister family, all the efforts that generations of ancestors have struggled for."

Tyrion glanced at him and said: "Uncle Damon, if I hadn't followed Her Majesty before she raised her army, the Lannister family would probably have died out. This is already the best condition I can get for the family."
