Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 165 Preparation
Brienne crawled to her knees, dripping with sweat, matting her wet hair.

There was a long sword on her shoulder, and the blade was pressed against her head. As long as she moved forward a little bit, blood would flow from her neck.

She lost completely, since she slashed her sword, she has never hit this man, he dodged with ease, as nimble as a fish.

"It seems that I won." His sword edge turned, and after a circle in the air, it was put into the scabbard.

Brienne bit her lips tightly. She didn't know whether it was sweat or what was left on her cheeks. The footsteps became farther and farther away, and she heard cheers from around the school grounds.

"Brennie!" an anxious voice called to her.

Lifting her head with difficulty, she saw her father's terrified gaze.

Lord Selwyn's eyes wandered to see how his daughter was hurt.

Apart from a black mark on her face, he couldn't see any other injuries, but in the battle just now, she was hit at least six or seven times.

He helped her up, "What are you?" Seeing her downcast appearance, Selwyn didn't know how to scold her for a moment.

"Father, this is my own decision."

"Oh, if Storm's End had taught you this, I shouldn't have sent you here in the first place." Father felt regretful again.

They staggered away from the school field with their arms.

Cole hung Winter's Night on the wall and asked his servants to remove his armor.

He picked up the paper on the table, and there was a list on the paper:

【Twilight Hall
Greenstone Castle

Rain House City.】

He ticked off several castles such as Eveningside Hall and Crow's Nest City.

Cole is still waiting, and some families have sent ravens to the castle. Earl Gurion Swann of Stonehelm City praised his achievements in a letter, and at the same time said that he was too sick to go to Storm's End in person.

And Earl Esmond of Greenstone Island asked Raven to send a letter, angrily denouncing Cole as a rebellious conspiracy, and at the same time called on the princes of Storm's End to respond with troops and kill the conspirator Cole.

After Stonehelm City, he made a question mark, and Cole crossed Greenstone Island.

He unfolded the map, searched on it, and soon found Ismond Island on the sea outside Cape Wrath. Cole seemed to know the source of their confidence. Storm's End had no fleet.

Looking through the records of the families of Storm's End found in the study, I found the catalog of the Ismond family. In the latest pen and ink, there is information about this generation of the Ismond family.

Cassana Ismond, her husband is Stephen Baratheon, Duke of Storm's End, and her three sons are: Robert, Baratheon and Renly.Died in a storm in Shipbreaker Bay.

"Your Highness, there is a Miss Brienne asking to see you." The guard knocked on the door and shouted.

"Let her come to the study." Cole took off the sword, tied it around his waist, put on a cloak, and walked out of the bedroom.

She had already changed into a suit of clothes, rough breeches and leather armor, but no sword, and the dirt on her face had been washed off, revealing a face with freckles.

The washed forehead hair is still a little wet.

"It's a lot of energy." Cole commented on this.

But "Beauty" Brienne doesn't seem to like the way people look at her. "I want to know, where is Shireen Baratheon?"

Cole shook his head, "I don't know either."

Her brow furrowed.

"I don't know much more than you, ma'am. I can tell you that it is unknown whether she is alive or dead now." He shook his head and said. "If you find out that she is dead, then just tell me and our deal will be over."

Tell her to find someone who has disappeared without a trace?
Brienne's brow furrowed even tighter. She knew Shireen Baratheon was Stannis' daughter.

"Okay." She nodded.

When she walked out of the study, she turned her back to Cole and said, "I am still the enemy."

Cole smiled, "Of course."

Brienne rode off the drawbridge of Storm's End on a steed, and he returned her armor and sword, and even a new blue cloak and robe, and a new knight's shield.

She glanced back at the towering castle immediately, thinking of something, then moved her eyes to the castle, and under the gate, her father was standing there looking at her.

That white hair made her heart tremble, she gritted her teeth, turned around and kicked the spurs lightly, and galloped away.

At midnight, the lights in Storm's End study were still on.

During this period of time when only night owls were still humming, the whole of Westeros fell into silence. He looked back out of the window, and saw that the moonless night was unusually dense, and only a weak candle was still blooming weakly. of light.

Apart from Cole not falling asleep tonight, there is still a pair of eyes wandering above the stormy ground.

Caesar spread his wings and flew in the clouds. The mountains, rivers, vegetation, and rivers and canyons he saw were all transmitted to the study in Storm's End like a picture.

The stylus was dotted with ink, and the parchment showed a detailed description of the stormy land. When the last drop of pen and ink fell, the sky had already turned pale. He moved his neck, put the stylus down, pushed aside the chair and stood up.

A ray of morning sun is slowly rising from the sea, and the cold wind blows on the face, bringing a trace of refreshment.

After the gray and white world brightened, this huge castle also came alive. The servants walked back and forth between the corridors. Cole straightened the long collar of his white silk underwear, put on a black woolen vest, and buttoned it. black cloak,
Roll up the map on the desktop and put it in the drawer, just at this time the servant brought a plate of breakfast.

A glass of hot milk with honey and bagels with fruit puree.

The assembly horn sounded outside the castle, and the soldiers got up from their tents and rushed to the square quickly.

Those who didn't get up would be punished by losing their lunch, and few dared to hesitate for a moment.

Soon dozens of large and small phalanxes formed in the barracks.

The sound of the training even reverberated into Storm's End, often attracting the residents of the town to watch.

In the open space where the soldiers were training, they could see the figures of cavalry galloping on horseback, and they could also see the uniform advance of soldiers holding fifteen-foot spears.

Cole checked the armor in the arsenal, and then went to the warehouse to inspect the castle's material reserves.

After having lunch in the castle, he walked out of the castle and led a group of people to the town's dock, where most of the shipbuilders within the jurisdiction of Storm's End were gathered.

Cole hired them to build ships for himself, and paid them salaries while exempting their family from taxes. Shipbuilding has already begun in full swing here, and a steady stream of carriages brings raw materials from the royal forest.

Storm's End's income and expenditure fluctuated like water every day, but overall the expenditure was greater than the income.

Gilbert is also complaining every day that he shouldn't treat those soldiers so well.
