Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 161 Mission
He looked at the sea with a solemn expression. According to legend, the Storm King planted the magic of the Children of the Forest on the thick city walls in order to resist the wrath of the gods.

The storm was extinguished so far, and the anger of the gods could only stay on the sea surface, and the anger fell on the navigators through the storm.

Human beings like to cover historical figures with a layer of mythology. Of course, Cole cannot deny the gods in this world, because he has seen some omens in the flames, although he does not understand what they mean.

Even if she claims to be the spokesperson of the Lord of Light, Melisandre often misunderstands R'hllor's intentions.

He walked back to the desk from the window sill, "No matter what, we have to find even the dead body." Cole sat back in the chair, "We lost Dragonstone Island, so it is conceivable that the next 'storm' will go straight For Storm's End. We should live up to the castle's name and stop all storms that would bring destruction.

It is his trust in us that the king entrusted us with important tasks when he was dying, so it is your and my duty to defend Storm's End now. "

Onion Knight nodded.

"In King's Landing, I made an alliance with Prince Oberon Martell of Dorne. In the future, Dorne will be our ally, so we should surrender all the princes of the Stormland as soon as possible. ’” Cole continued. "Davos, I know your eloquence has always been good. So I would like to ask you to take the edict of Storm's End to the castles in the Stormlands. We are replacing Storm's End with Stannis Barra. King Theon has a funeral and hope they will be there."

The king also entrusted him with the task of lobbying the nobles. He drove his own ship, the Black Beth, up the coast and passed Seagull Town, the Five Fingers Peninsula and the Three Sisters Islands on the way. The nobles avoided seeing him even though they knew it was Stannis' emissaries.

"Tell them, I am the master of Storm's End now. If I am willing to attend the king's funeral, then I can forget about the past." Cole picked up the cold winter night placed beside the table. It found a sword hilt, Cole's arm moved slightly, and the long sword was half out of its sheath, "If they have forgotten who their lord is, I will bring the army to visit in person."

A little worry flashed in Davos' eyes, "Will my identity be?"

Cole and his status are not considered honorable, but now that they have assumed such high positions one after another, how could those princes of the Stormland with noble blood be willing to submit to them.

"Now you are the hand of the king who was personally guarded by the king before he died. Don't lose your status as the prime minister. Your duty is just to tell them what I said. If they use this to make things difficult for you, you can ignore it. At that time, I will only Let them know that fists are more useful than their blood.

Of course, I will let Camillo go with you with a troop of cavalry, and they will be responsible for protecting your safety. "

noble?Is Targaryen blood enough?
After hesitating for a moment, Davos took the task.

Stannis made him Hand of the King, but he didn't know how to run a castle or a kingdom, and he couldn't even read a few words.

The death knell rang over the castle, and the mourning sound rang three times in a row, announcing the death of the king.

The Onion Knight came out of the study, walked through the hall, and could hear the conversations of grooms, servants, cooks and soldiers in the castle in the corridor.

They didn't recognize the prime minister in simple clothes, and he spoke unscrupulously.

Davos heard an old groom say, "I hear the cathedral in King's Landing also knocks three times for the king."

"You idiot, King's Landing is the death knell for that imp king," another groom said to him.

"And for whom is the bell ringing now?"

"King Stannis, of course."

"God damn the world, how many kings have died?"

"Who knows, anyway, the king will die if he is stabbed by the knife, just like the soldiers."

He thought of an old Valyrian proverb: All mortals are mortal.

The Onion Knight only stayed for one day. The next day, after he packed his bags, he began to carry out the tasks assigned to him by Cole.

He wondered in his heart, "Should the Hand of the King obey the Prince Regent?"

He didn't understand, when Stannis lowered his eyelids and the pupils lost their color, he was left with infinite confusion.

On the school grounds, the knight named Camillo had gathered a cavalry force of around fifty.

The standard-bearers on both sides of the knight set up two banners, one was Julius's white flame-breathing bird, and the other was a crowned stag restored to black.

Davos was sure that the nobles of the Stormlands would definitely welcome this banner more.But is there still Baratheon in the castle?If the letter of Cersei's incest they announced to the world was correct, then the only legitimate heir of Baratheon would be Shireen.

This is a well-equipped cavalry, white bird round zither shield, armed sword, plate pottery armor, and even horse armor are similar and matched.

The horses lined up neatly in two teams, and one pair after another of solemn eyes appeared from under the half helmet.

"Master Prime Minister." The knight who was also born as a commoner walked to his side.

He was much younger, and Davos knew that this knight was a knight made by Cole himself.

"I will trouble you for the rest of the journey, Sir Camillo," said the Prime Minister, whom they had known on the ship.

The soldiers guarding the gate tower lowered the drawbridge for them.

The main residence of the tower can have a panoramic view of the entire Storm's End. From here, you can see the entire Shipwreck Bay, and you can also see the ant-sized figures in the town outside the castle.

From here you can even see the Crimson Mountains, which separate Dorne and the Stormlands from the Reach, where the Rhoynar and Andals have fought battle after battle for thousands of years , It also caused deep grievances among the ethnic groups on both sides of the mountain range.

Prince Martell stationed two armies at the Bone Road and Prince's Pass, which kept the borderlands of the Stormlands under threat from Dorne at all times.

Cole did not easily send troops to those traitors because he was under pressure from Dorn. If the Dornish people took advantage of the civil strife in the storm and decisively sent troops, the consequences would be self-evident.

The army originally gathered at Midsummer Hall had ordered them to move to the Bone Road before Cole set off for King's Landing to check and balance Dorne's threat.

Fortunately, this worry is gone now. When Davos returns, Cole must have been fully prepared for the war.

He turned his gaze to the narrow sea.

Daenerys Targaryen, his blood relative.

In the brothel on Silk Street in King's Landing, Prince Oberon confided to him about Dorne's plan, and it was their original idea to help the troubled Targaryen.
