Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

Chapter 150 Curse
Dragonstone Island is located on the island at the exit of Blackwater Bay. The entire castle of Dragonstone Island is made of black stones, and the towers of the castle are carved in the shape of giant dragons.

Stannis, who was defeated and retreated from King's Landing, returned to their base camp with 1000 direct troops and more than [-] Davos troops.

Dragonstone Island is a very important strategic location, it can be said that it is a dagger hanging on the throat of King's Landing.After the destruction of the King's Landing Fleet, they were completely incapable of threatening Dragonstone.

Since returning to Dragonstone Island, Stannis ordered Davos to lead the remaining warships to block the throat of Blackwater Bay, cut off the foreign trade of King's Landing, and continue to harass the coast of the kingdom.

Stannis, who retreated to Dragonstone, was only worried about the Redwyne fleet on the Arbor.However, the Reach has become an independent country, and the Iron Throne has no right to order the Redwyne fleet to come to support.

Just in case, Stannis still ordered him to stay with a small number of troops in Storm's End to monitor the nearby sea at all times.As long as you see a large fleet heading north, report it immediately.

The Drum Tower is the main castle of Dragonstone Island. When a storm comes, the interior of its ancient walls will rumble and echo, hence the name.

The Picture Table Hall is located at the top of the Stone Drum Tower. It is a huge circular room with four tall and narrow windows facing east, west, north, south, and four directions.There is a huge map table in the middle of the map table hall, and a detailed map of Westeros is engraved on the map table.

The map table was over fifty feet long, about half that length at its widest point, and less than four feet at its narrowest point.The position corresponding to Dragonstone Island has been carefully designed to correspond to a seat on a high platform, so that you can have a panoramic view of the desktop.

Stannis, with a gloomy face, sat at the main seat, glanced at the two remaining subordinates, Davos and Roland, and Melisandre, who was sent back to Dragonstone by him at Bitterbridge.

He said in a sad tone: "With the loss of [-] troops, what should we do next? Do you have any opinions?"

"Your Majesty, I have received revelations from my Lord during this time that the real battlefield is in the north!"

As soon as Stannis finished speaking, Melisandre showed a charming smile and replied with a unique accent.

"North? North?"

Hearing her words, Stannis not only frowned and said to himself.

"Your Majesty, I learned from some well-informed friends. The entire northern border is run like an iron barrel by Robb Stark, and even Tywin Lannister cannot get involved.

I'm afraid that the current northern border is not a good choice.Of course, if the Stark family can submit to the Baratheon family again.Then, the North is the best choice. "

Ever since he saw Melisandre using evil magic, Davos has always held a deep prejudice against her.So, he immediately spoke to Stannis.

"When I was at Bitterbridge, I sent more than a dozen raven letters to the north, asking Robb Stark to be loyal to me, and all the answers I got were very direct negative.

Well, now Robb Stark is a usurper in my eyes too.Eddard Stark didn't teach his son well! "

Stannis shook his head in denial when he heard this, and directly classified Robb as a traitor.

"Your Majesty, in view of the current situation, please allow me to make a suggestion to you, that is to go to Seagull Town in the valley!"

Hearing Stannis' answer, Davos immediately made a suggestion that he had carefully considered.

"Seagull Town in the Valley? Davos, please explain in detail why you made this suggestion."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When Davos heard Stannis' question, he immediately stood up and saluted, pointing to the map table and continuing,
"Some time ago, the false king who proclaimed himself the 'King of Seagull Town', Gerald Grafson, wanted to take advantage of the 'Bronze King' Anda Royce's battle with the Eagle's Nest City, and entered the Vale of Arryn from the south to make a surprise attack.

But who knew that they were attacked by the mixed cavalry troops of Lannister and Eyrie City led by Tyrion Lannister, and suffered heavy losses.

On their way to Seagull Town, the "King of the Five Fingers", Leonor Corbray, who had already ambushed in the north of Crab Bay, caught them all.

Now, the Grafson family has been completely slaughtered by Leonor, and Seagull Town has fallen into the hands of the Corbray family. "

"Hmph, so many false kings in a small valley. Westeros is full of kings these days!
Sorry, you go on. "

Davos, who stopped when he heard Stannis complaining, continued his topic just now, and continued: "Seagull Town is one of the five major ports, with a large population, and especially a lot of wealthy businessmen living there. Give us a great help.

Then, the strategic location of Seagull Town is also very important. It can not only attack White Harbor from the north, but also threaten King's Landing City from the south.

In the end, the people of Seagull Town were very dissatisfied with the cruel Leonor.Moreover, the Knights of the Valley have strong traditions and have always adhered to righteousness. Joffrey is the illegitimate son of incest that everyone knows.

Therefore, His Majesty's right of succession is undoubtedly the most orthodox and legal.As long as the time comes to take down Seagull Town, they will surely respond to your call. "

"Your Majesty, compared to the northern border, Seagull Town is indeed the best choice."

Roland, who had been silent all this time, agreed after Davos finished speaking in detail.

"Well, then the next step is decided. Go to Seagull Town, and then take down the entire valley."

Stannis agreed with Davos' statement very much, and made a decision directly.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Melisandre smiled and did not continue to defend.At least Seagulltown is closer to the north than Dragonstone.

"You two go down first! I still have something to discuss with Ms. Melisandre."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

pat!

The two of Davos walked out of the drawing table hall. After he closed the door, he said to Roland: "Sir Roland, thank you for supporting my suggestion just now."

"Sir Davos, don't thank me for this. I just agree with the correct advice. Marching into the cold north is the most absurd and stupid advice I have ever heard."

Hearing this, Roland raised his right hand and waved it, signaling Davos not to thank him.

"Well, Seagull Town must be taken down, this is our only chance! Then I will make pre-war preparations first."

Davos nodded and said goodbye to Roland.Roland nodded, turned and left without saying a word.

During this period of time, Davos, who was extremely distressed because of the death of his son, now has a new goal. He has been preparing for the battle all day long, and he has inspected the remaining 36 warships one by one.

Until night fell, a servant of Stannis came to call him, and went to Aegon's Garden in the main keep.

Aegon Gardens is located near the Dragontail Gate of the main castle.It smells pleasantly of pine, and tall black trees rise from all sides.There were also wild roses and thornbush towering here, and some cranberries in the muck.

When Davos arrived there was a bonfire in the center of the garden.By the fire stood Stannis, Melisandre, a craftswoman named Maggie, and Robert's bastard daughter, Bara.

After the servant brought Davos, he left quickly, and there were only five of them left in the garden, with the crackling bonfire.

Seeing this posture, Davos's heart skipped a beat, and he asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, you..."

Before he could say a word, Stannis reached out his hand to silence him, and motioned him to watch quietly with his eyes.

Melisandre smiled coquettishly at Davos, then took out a wooden box, and came to Mei Yan, whose eyes were full of horror.

Seeing Mei Yan who suddenly turned her back with the child in her arms, Melisandre smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, just let the leech suck some of her blood, it won't cause any harm.

If you don't cooperate, then I can only come by force. "

Hearing Melisandre's words, Mei Yan's eyes were filled with tears. She knew that she had no other choice, so she turned around and showed the very cute sleeping Bara in her arms in front of her.

Seeing that she was very cooperative, Melisandre opened the wooden box, took out a shriveled but writhing leech from inside with a clip, and put it on Bara's cute little face.

It may be that the leech is colder, and Bara frowned in her sleep, as if she was having a nightmare.

Next, Melisandre placed the other two leeches on Bara's arms and chest.I saw the leech swell with blood visible to the naked eye, and it became as thick as a thumb in a few minutes.

Leeches secrete an analgesic neurotoxin when they suck blood, so Bara, who felt no pain, fell asleep the whole time and did not wake up.

Seeing that the amount of blood absorbed by the leeches was almost the same, Melisandre used clips to recover the three leeches into the wooden box.Seeing her finished, Mei Yan, who was full of distress, immediately hugged Bara tightly in her arms, and turned her back to the three of them.

Melisandre held the wooden box, turned around and nodded to Stannis, and the two walked to the bonfire. Davos watched silently behind him, with a hint of sullenness in his eyes.

"Long night is dark, everywhere is dangerous! My lord 'King of Light', you are light, you are justice, you are everything!
Your faithful servant prays to..."

Melisandre, who was standing by the bonfire, held the wooden box in her hand towards Stannis, and at the same time prayed in a singing manner.

Stannis reached out and took out a fat leech from the wooden box. Looking at the burning campfire, he murmured, "Joffrey Baratheon the usurper!"

As soon as the words fell, Stannis raised his hand and threw the leech in his hand into the bonfire.

He threw the fat leech into the blazing bonfire. Although it stopped writhing immediately, it was not scorched by the bonfire, as if something was brewing.

"Rob Stark the Usurper!"

Taking out a leech again, Stannis spoke Robb's name, and threw the leech in again.

"Robin the Traitor..."

"Your Majesty, most of the Valley is controlled by Lysa Arryn, Littlefinger, and Tyrion Lannister. If we want to get the Valley, we only need to deal with them.

Robin Arryn was just a sickly kid.Just like... Princess Shireen. "

Davos, who had been silent all this time, saw that Stannis wanted to say Robin Arryn's name, so he finally couldn't help but speak out.

Hearing Davos' words, Stannis saw his kind and lovely daughter in front of his eyes.He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Traitor Lysa Arryn!"

The third fat leech was also thrown into the bonfire by Stannis. At this time, Melisandre also ended her prayer.

crackle!

The three fat leeches in the campfire suddenly made a crisp sound, and a large amount of blood splashed out of their bodies.

As the bright red blood splashed out, the three leeches that were very resistant to high temperatures were instantly scorched by the flames and turned into three piles of ashes.
