Game of Thrones: I Created the Weave

a third, or even the entire Stormlands.

Joffrey's purpose in personally leading the expedition was not merely to quell Renly's rebellion.

The Stormlands were the most delicious cake.

Break the old, establish the new.

Although the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros were currently experiencing occasional turmoil, the general system and social strata had long been solidified, even rigid, and could by no means be considered a "great break."

Naturally, it was difficult to "establish the new."

Even if Joffrey were to forcefully push for reforms, conquer the various Lords, and completely overturn everything from the past, it would clearly cause long-term, continuous instability and create greater division within the kingdom.

The might of the Holy War Army and the illumination of the Divine Grace Light Screen could guarantee the suppression of any rebellion or conspiracy.

But they could not make everyone genuinely submit.

If such a situation were to truly develop, Joffrey's rule would undoubtedly be much more troublesome. He would either have to execute people and rectify things all day long or engage in scheming and power struggles with the nobles and courtiers who were skilled at concealing their thoughts.

Similarly, if power could not be centralized, the path of expansion and conquest would inevitably be delayed or even stagnated.

That would be boring.

It just so happened that the Stormlands and the Reach had rebelled, making them perfect for breaking the deadlock.

War would cause great chaos.

Break the old, establish the new.

The Lords of the Reach would not resist to the end, and as the granary of the Seven Kingdoms, it was not advisable to cause too much damage. Joffrey's plan was to slowly disintegrate and divide them.

For example, the rewards for the Redwyne Family and the actions against Highgarden, the Oakheart Family, and the Rowan Family.

The Stormlands were different.

Not only were the Stormlands closest to the Crownlands, but after Renly's death, the legitimate heir was Joffrey himself.

With righteousness on his side, and relying on irresistible military might to take down the Lords of the Stormlands, how could reforms not be easy and comfortable? Who could question anything?

After all, the Liege Lord of the Stormlands and the King would both be Joffrey himself.

Although the contract between a Liege Lord and a vassal still had many limitations, allowing the various Lords to retain a great deal of independence to resist a powerful Liege Lord.

Nominally, however, Joffrey's power to interfere was still significant and vague.

Coupled with the special state of war, and the overwhelming military strength and vast Divine Grace that could suppress all dissent.

Past traditions and systems would be fragile and vulnerable.

Break the old, establish the new.

The future Imperial System would first be implemented in the Stormlands and gradually spread until it covered the entire Seven Kingdoms of Westeros and even a wider world.

For this goal, Joffrey had formulated a comprehensive plan and timetable.

Take down the entire Stormlands within a month.

Control every castle and village in the Stormlands within two months and establish a new management system.

Before the end of the year, the Divine Grace Core would be implanted in everyone in the Stormlands, and through this, population activities would be investigated, the intelligence network would be popularized, and rebels and bandits would be eradicated.

Within a year, both the Crownlands and the Stormlands would be turned upside down.

By then, the brand new Stormlands would become a template and benchmark for the Seven Kingdoms, powerful, prosperous, stable, and harmonious, making the Lords awe and submit, and making the commoners of the Seven Kingdoms feel envious and willing to embrace change.

By that time, Joffrey's centralization and reforms would no longer be the crazy fantasies that went against the times, nor the arrogant actions that defied fate.

What he represented was the irresistible future, true destiny!

And the solid guarantee for the realization of this plan was the rich fruits of Joffrey's focused development during this period: magic, knowledge, and the hearts of the people.

Currently.

There were four thousand magicians remaining in King's Landing, and departments such as the Research Institute, Logistics Bureau, and Engineering Bureau were operating at full speed, building new fleets, developing equipment, stockpiling supplies, executing projects, and training new armies.

Every day, when the people of King's Landing woke up, they saw a King's Landing that was more magnificent and glorious than the day before, with more prosperous commerce and richer and more convenient food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

There were no longer beggars, gangs, bandits, or idlers in King's Landing.

Children and teenagers were studying knowledge under the Divine Grace Light Screen or in the schools of the Ministry of Education, without needing to pay tuition fees. If they signed a contract to serve the Royal Family, they could even be provided with three meals a day.

Those with a skill could join various departments or properties under the Royal Family.

Once selected, they were not only provided with a salary but also with food and housing. Food was unlimited, and the accommodation was tall and spacious, almost like castles, enough to house several thousand people.

If they had no other skills, only physical strength, they could also join the Logistics Bureau, Engineering Bureau, or Ministry of War, and at least they would have food and clothing without worry.

Even if they were disabled or seriously ill, they only needed to sign a contract, and a Priest from the palace could completely cure them. Moreover, they wouldn't have to worry about their future life; the adults had arrangements, just obey, and don't think about anything.

People had never seen a King's Landing like this. As long as they were willing to work, they wouldn't starve to death!

Mother is merciful!

The Gods bless!

People completely believed in the God-chosen King and were sincerely grateful for it.

And this King's Landing was far from the end.

Construction of the Holy City never stopped, with more and more wondrous magic creations appearing. Merchants and travelers who came because of its fame were all captivated, almost unwilling to take another step out of King's Landing, fearing they would lose such a beautiful dream.

The port outside the city was piled high with wood. In the blink of an eye, exquisite new warships were born from the scattered piles of wood and smoothly launched into the water.

In just a few days, a Royal Fleet had practically grown out of nothing.

Undoubtedly, as long as the number of sailors kept up, warships could quickly fill the entire Blackwater River. Renly's rebels wouldn't even dream of crossing the river, not a single one.

Of course, most people believed the new fleet wouldn't be needed.

After all, Renly wouldn't reach the Blackwater River.

The King chosen by the Gods had personally led the invincible fleet out to sea.

Having witnessed the power and wonder of Divine Grace, most of the commoners in King's Landing had shed their worries and hesitation about Renly's rebellion. They firmly supported the Iron Throne and dedicated themselves wholeheartedly.

The hearts of the people of King's Landing were entirely with the Royal Family.

Regarding magic, although the Holy War Army in King's Landing couldn't increase further due to Joffrey's departure, other developments wouldn't stagnate.

Ten warships were specifically responsible for connecting King's Landing and the fleet, making round trips daily.

Joffrey could receive the newly generated Rune Energy from King's Landing in a timely manner and also send various Magic Creations to King's Landing, such as Wishing Stones, Monitors, and Information Modification Devices.

Therefore, the number of Divine Grace Favored Ones in King's Landing was still steadily increasing.

Key equipment for each department was sufficient.

Overall, King's Landing was in excellent condition – safe, prosperous, strong, and resolute – enough to provide various support to the transforming Stormlands.

Here, the Royal Fleet would initiate the transformation of the Stormlands.

Three hundred warships, carrying a thousand Ship Cannons inscribed with Runes, nearly twenty thousand crew members, and ten thousand Royal Guards with magic.

This was a considerable wealth and a formidable force.

Every day, the Rune Energy generated by the magicians on the fleet was enough to produce thousands of Wishing Stones, capable of supplying tens of thousands of Divine Grace Cores.

After turning all twenty thousand crew members into the Holy War Army, this number would double.

With this abundant Rune Energy, supplying the Divine Grace Cores needed by several million people in the Stormlands before the end of the year was more than sufficient.

The prerequisite was to capture and control the Stormlands. Go there, settle down, and complete the conquest.

Joffrey looked at the people below.
