Chapter 207 Eating Problems
Margaery Tyrell hadn't been to her nominal husband, Renly Baratheon, for a long time.

Renly and Stannis, the two kings of Baratheon, fought fiercely in the streets of King's Landing.

Basically, Renly attacked during the day, took Stannis's position for a few blocks after paying a high price, and then, at night, Stannis, who was more familiar with the terrain, waited for an opportunity to push back.

In short, just like this, they pulled back and forth and fought repeatedly. In the end, because Renly's army had the upper hand in numbers, with only more than people left, Stannis finally decided to give up all the blocks except Aegon's High Hill.

The morale of Renly's army was boosted, and they were ready to pursue the victory, but an unexpected problem caused them to suspend their attack.

The hungry people in King's Landing finally endured to the zero point. In order not to starve to death, and for their wives and children to have a bite to eat, some people finally chose to take the risk and attack the patrolling Renly soldiers at night.

The Renly-occupied area in King's Landing is not without a grain of food, but most of it is hidden. In order to rob food, the hungry people must first arm themselves.

Therefore, in a short period of time, nearly a hundred mobs attacked the army in King's Landing City, and once again changed the master's golden robe, they dared not enter the dark alleys of King's Landing City at all.

As local snakes, they are very aware of the situation in King's Landing. If they go in, they don't know where they will come from, and they will hand out a rusty blade.

There was no way, an earl in charge of security in Renly's army could only come by himself. He sent more than 1000 soldiers into the alleys of King's Landing City, trying to seize the weapons in the hands of the mob.

But soon, he paid the price for his stupid behavior.

In a very short period of time, more than 1000 people were killed by the mobs in King's Landing in various forms, and the rest escaped desperately, with fear on their faces, and vowed never to enter it again.

This matter reached the ears of Duke Mace Tyrell, and the Duke of Gauting, who was full of thoughts about the life of the former Prime Minister in the future, was greatly annoyed, so he ordered 3000 people to be mobilized to enter.

One thing to mention, he mobilized these 3000 people, all of them were troops from the Reach, and this idiot actually mobilized the army himself without saying hello to Renly Baratheon.

Facing the violent army of 3000 people, the mob in King's Landing disappeared immediately, and the Tyrell army rushed in. What they saw shocked them.

Of all the soldiers who disappeared during the first search and seizure, almost none of them had a complete body, many of them had even been torn apart, and the raw and cooked ones had been divided into an unknown number of pieces.

Some even have only one head left. As for where the body is, the soldiers looked at the pairs of fearful, numb, but hungry eyes around them, and a chill rushed from the heels to the top of the head.

The soldiers suddenly realized that in the eyes of these people, they might not be heroes who maintain order or justice, but... prey!
As a result, the morale of the Tyrell family collapsed, and the timid ones even urinated on the spot. They might not be so afraid to fight on the battlefield. Facing a group of their own kind who always wanted to eat themselves, they ran away.

Lord Mace Tyrell was furious, but there was nothing he could do about it. At this time, King Renly Baratheon, who was staying in St. Baelor's Cathedral, knew about it.

At this point, everyone finally understood why Tywin Lannister dared to give up King's Landing City so generously.

They originally thought that it was Tywin Lannister who deliberately let them out, and wanted them and Stannis to kill each other.

But now it seems that Tywin Lannister knows very well that if King's Landing continues like this, he will definitely not be able to keep it. This is throwing the mess to them, but they readily accept it.

King's Landing has a population of several 10, and their army brought some food. Coupled with the long supply line from the Reach to King's Landing, the food they can bring is very limited.

This is not a time of peace. A lot of transport capacity has been used in other places. There is no way to feed the tens of thousands of people in King's Landing. The only way is to reach peace as soon as possible and restore the normal food supply to King's Landing in the Reach.

Before the Reach chose to side with Renly, Joffrey, who was still in King's Landing, was naturally out of food. He didn't expect to deceive himself now, what a trick of fate.

Stannis does not have this problem. His own army is small, and the connection between the Red Keep and the Mud Gate has not been cut off. As long as his fleet is there, he can keep sending food to the Red Keep.

It was pointless for Renly to snatch that little food, as it couldn't meet the huge food shortage in King's Landing.

"Everyone, now you need to turn your noble brains on, and tell me, how to solve the situation in front of you?"

It was another banquet, but this time, no one had the heart to taste the delicacies in front of them.

"Perhaps, we can distribute some of our food to them first, and let them bear with it for a while. After we take down the Red Fort, the food given to them will return to normal."

Mace Tyrell was wearing a noble robe embroidered with golden roses. It didn't look like he was on the battlefield at all, but he looked like he was in the garden of Gauting,

"Well... what you want to distribute is not a little food. Stannis threw the mob in the whole city to us. They have been starving for many days. How much food do you expect us to give them?"

Lando Tully didn't give Fengjun the nickname "Inflatable Fish" any face at all, and pointed out very simply that the plan was whimsical and had no possibility of practice.

"Then I would like to ask Lord Landau, what should we do if we don't give them food, these people who are so hungry that they eat people, have no honor and morality, and should go to the seven hells?"

"Knight of Flowers" Loras Tyrell retorted at the moment. In his opinion, it didn't matter whether Earl Landau was right or not. He refuted his father's behavior which made him very uncomfortable.

Duke Mace Tyrell glanced triumphantly at the somewhat misfired Earl of Hornhill, with a happy smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, should we temporarily withdraw from King's Landing and leave this trouble to Stannis?"

The nobleman from the Stormlands who spoke, Bryce Cullen, Earl of Nightsong City, was a young man in his early 20s, but his suggestion at least made sense.

However, as soon as these words came out, they were immediately opposed by all the nobles in the River Bend.

"No! Your Majesty's army has not failed, so why retreat?"

"Stannis has a fleet. What if he brings provisions to these mobs, and arms them against us?"

"We broke into King's Landing and withdrew in embarrassment. What do other people think of us?"

He yelled a lot, whether it made sense or not, his voice was loud and his voice was soft, in a word:

There are no doors!

On the other hand, the princes of the Stormlands on the side were all moved. They all knew that withdrawing now was the best choice, and King's Landing couldn't wait anymore.

The mob has just started, and it has already become like this. When they are completely hungry, they will suffer heavy losses. There are tens of thousands of people in this city full of shit and urine.

It's ironic, the reasons why the nobles of the River Bend are firmly opposed, in fact, only they themselves understand.

That is, they wanted to fight, because they would have everything if they won, but the soldiers under their hands didn't want to fight at all.

The nobles of the Stormlands and the soldiers below all understand that this is their own king, their own lord, and if they are defeated, they will definitely make their side popular and hot.

But the soldiers in the Reach, many people didn't even know who Renly Baratheon was before, and they followed him to the end, but they couldn't get anything, their food was not collected, and their wives might be stolen by others.

It is really too difficult to raise the morale of such an army. There is no console, just call it out and enter a piece of code.
