Bernard Brune of Dreadhole Hold was squire to Lord Alyn Stokeworth, Hand of the King to Aegon I.
During the Battle of Ruby Shoal during the Revolt of the Usurper, the Crab Claws and the Brunes of the Crab Claw Peninsula fought side by side for Prince Rhaegar Targaryen.
They are all model loyal ministers of the Julong family and the most trusted confidants among the confidants.
The new Baratheon dynasty is in a miserable state, the most miserable of the miserable.

Located on a towering cliff, the thick gate of the Terror Cave Fort, which was estimated to be more than 40 meters high, was closed. Green decisively gave up his plan to attack and occupy it.
Relying on conventional siege methods to capture a well-defended castle was too costly for Green. Sieges were inevitable on the road to hegemony, and without a dragon, Green needed to prepare more unconventional siege tactics and methods.
Green is currently unprepared for the siege of Terror Cavern. If there is a chance, he will seize it; if there is no chance, he will give up decisively.
Green comforted himself that they were all poor lords, so why should the poor make things difficult for the poor?

"When someone dares to challenge you, you must resolutely respond with iron and blood. When they kneel in submission, you must personally lift them up, otherwise no one will be willing to submit."
Recalling the words in his memory, he said to Knight Mason, "Mason, I leave this to you. The ransom for the captives of House Brune will be paid according to the usual rules. Since we once fought side by side with the Targaryens, I will spare them this time as a warning to them that there won't be a next time."
Mason nodded in acceptance.
Green then quietly instructed Knight Pell, "Leave the captives to Emparo. Your Survey Corps will remain and continue to attack the wildling tribes, especially those allied with the Brun family. Just like last time, destroy the tribe's settlements and relocate the population. The old land of Kleber needs a large number of farmers."
Knight Mason will soon be responsible for implementing the semi-military farm planned by Green in the newly recovered old land of Kleber.
Over time, Kleber's semi-military farms will cover all arable land in the eastern part of the Crab Claw Peninsula.
"As you command, my lord."
Green nodded and continued, "We've already destroyed the main force of the Savage tribe near Kleber's old land. They won't put up any serious resistance, but I still ask you to approach every battle with caution. If you encounter a good hunter, recruit him into the Survey Corps. You can recruit soldiers while fighting the Savages. This is a rare training opportunity."
Per: "My lord, I will obey your orders. The Brun family..."
Green shook the reins and steed his horse to the other side, and Knight Pell urged his horse to follow.
Green and Per rode side by side. "Per, communicating with you always makes me feel relaxed. Yes, although we lost this time, the Brun family will not surrender to me. For a while, there will be no force in Kleber's old territory that can threaten Kleber. It's a good opportunity for us to digest the results of the battle. In the meantime..."
"Except for the 20 war horses I have selected to take back, I will allocate all the remaining horses to you. The Survey Corps needs speed more than ever."
Green glanced sideways at Terror Cavern once more. "Kleber's march cannot stop. We need to continue raiding to feed the populations of both new and old territories. We're expanding too quickly, and the farmland can't support a large population."
"The only noble family in the Eastern Crab Claw Peninsula that can still cause us trouble is the Brun family. This is something I cannot tolerate. One Crab Claw is enough for the master of the Eastern Crab Claw Peninsula."
"Mason will stay and be responsible for the development of the old land. I will order him to cooperate with your conquest. Let's start with the wild tribes that are friendly with the Brun family and conquer them one by one. I want you to blockade the Brun family and make it difficult for them to move forward until they surrender or disappear."
A smile appeared on Green's lips, and he patted Per's shoulder. "I'm about to leave for King's Landing. I can't split myself into two, so I can only rely on you. Fortunately, you are here. I have always been most confident in your loyalty and ability."
"Knight Pell, for the glory of Kleber."
Per's brows were solemn, his palms placed on his chest, and he nodded in salute: "My sword will always be at your service!"

Monton Weshui was carrying a large round shield on his back, with his war hammer at his waist, and was chewing on a smoked sausage.
Lena on the side said helplessly: "Meng Fatty, don't you know you are full? Why do you keep eating?"
Meng Dun Weishui replied naively: "Ah, I'm just afraid of being hungry. I always didn't have enough to eat before, but now it's much better. Since I followed you, I'm not hungry anymore."
Lena rolled her beautiful eyes at Monton and said, "You haven't eaten enough yet you're still so fat!"
Meng Dun Weishui scratched the back of his head: "Hehe..."
Reina's eyes slyly turned slightly. "Meng Pang, if you keep eating like this... you'll eat too much and be careful of being punished by the lord."
Meng Dun opened his eyes wide, seemingly devoid of wisdom. "This...this...this...I know I have a big appetite, how about I take the initiative to go and confess my crime to the adults?"
Reina sneered at first, then couldn't help but burst into laughter, holding her stomach, which made Monton even more confused for a moment.
Fortunately, Green's voice came in time: "Monton, Lena is joking with you."
Green walked over and patted Reina on the head: "He will take it seriously."
Reina screamed in pain and squatted down with her hands on her head. Green looked at his palms calmly.
Monton suddenly complained loudly, "Sir! Reina isn't in pain! She's just pretending! I saw it! She was laughing just now! I saw it!"
Monton Weishui has the intuition of a beast. On the first day of joining the Green camp, he felt that military regulations were closely related to his future.
For Monton Weishui, Green was the first person who did not dislike his big appetite and no longer let him go hungry.
Mondon Weishui kept chewing the food in his mouth, and at the same time he worked hard to memorize it with his not-so-bright brain.
He was just frightened by the cunning Reina for a moment, but later Monton Weishui finally realized that eating too much did not violate military regulations, so he naturally had to "retaliate".
Mondon Weishui jumped up and down as he exposed the truth mercilessly, his big belly undulating like waves of flesh.
How did this guy become smarter?
Reina said miserably, "Lord Green, I beg for forgiveness... I..."
Monton scratched his head, it seemed that the revenge was too much?
Green waved his hand helplessly: "Go, get some more food for Monton, he will forgive you immediately."

A corridor in the Red Keep, King's Landing.
Tyrion Lannister sat on the marble railing at the edge of the corridor, his short legs swaying.
Tyrion held the wine glass in his hand, which he never let go of, his face flushed with alcohol. "Brother, think of something happy. You worry too much. Sometimes I even suspect that your love for your sister is abnormal."
Jaime Lannister, still worried, glanced towards Cersei's room again, sighed deeply, and sat down on the railing. Anger still lingered on his handsome face. "King Robert has forgotten his honor. I can't remember how many times he's been violent towards Cersei."
Tyrion moved closer to Jaime and patted his arm. "You have to understand why I stopped you. If you get involved, the consequences will only be worse."
Jaime rubbed his face helplessly with his hands: "Tyrion, you are always smart and rational."
Tyrion's gaze was deep, and his tone was unusually serious. "Sister always thinks she's a descendant of Lord Tywin, but she's far from it. Father has always been as ruthless and calm as a glacier, while Cersei's emotions can ignite like wildfire. Our king and queen are like two raging flames, a touch of fire that ignites even more fiercely."
Jaime sighed deeply again. "I just want Cersei to live happily."
