KING'S LANDING

ROBB STARK

"Our new reports indicate that the Targaryen Navy along with most of their troops have set sail from Dragonstone" Wulfric said, reading the reports "They may have left a garrison there, but I reckon it will be no more than few hundred".

"Then we should Order the Royal Navy to attack and seize the Island immediately" Mace quickly proclaimed "We cannot let them have a base of operation, so close to King's Landing".

Many nobles shook their head at Mace Tyrell's foolishness, while Tyrion calmly exclaimed "While I admire your initiative of taking the fight to the enemy, Lord Tyrell" The Hand Of The King said calmly "I think this course of action will be both foolish and risky".

Mace flushed at that "What do you mean by that, Lord Hand?".

"Father, the Royal Navy is the only thing, that is stopping the Enemy Navy from pillaging our Eastern Coast or attacking King's Landing directly" Willas said, shaking his head at his father's foolishness "We should wait until the Iron Fleet and Northern Fleet arrives, before making any attacks at Dragonstone".

"Don't fear, Uncle Harlaw and Asha have already mustered the Fleet" Theon promised "They will arrive within a moon's turn".

"Same with the Northern Fleet" Wulfric added.

"What about the Redwyne Fleet? And the ships guarding the Mander?" Yohn Royce asked "The Reach has one of the largest Naval Fleet in the Seven Kingdoms".

"Destroyed by Victorian Greyjoy" Willas grimaced staring pointedly at Theon causing the Iron Born to flinch, remembering his uncle's betrayal.

"I guess the Vale Fleet at Gulltown cannot support us either" Robb spoke for the first time, since entering this council.

"No Your Grace" Yohn admitted ashamed "The fleet at Gulltown is small and it is the only thing stopping the pirate raidings from The Three Sisters".

Robb nodded before looking at his uncle "Uncle, how goes our preparation?".

Brynden immediately answered "The men of the Royal Army are prepared, and all our supply wagons are loaded" The First General Of The Royal Army reported "All in all, we are ready to depart by first light tomorrow".

"Good" The King Of Westeros nodded "And what about our Craftsmen".

The Craftsmen were one of the most important unit of the Royal Army, as they are responsible, from making siege weapons, like Trebuchets and Siege Towers to offensive weapons like Ballistas and Scorpions.

Weapons that can technically kill a Dragon.

"All of them are ready for the march tomorrow" Brynded answered.

Robb nodded before turning towards his council "My Lords it seems that all of you are ready for the march tomorrow" He said standing up "The Council is adjourned".

The men quickly stood up and exited the room, exited to catch their last sleep before the early march tomorrow.

Robb looked at the retreating men before saying "Lord Greyjoy, Lannister, and Seastark, please stay for a minute".

As expected the three men quickly stopped and returned back to their seat.

"What is it Your Grace?" Theon asked curiously.

Robb didn't said anything instead he handed Tyrion a small letter.

The Hand Of The King took the letter curiously. Unfolding the parchment, his eyes quickly racked through the content. His face going pale as he finished.
