Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 169 The Late Earl Swann

The vast forests slowed the pace of the march, and the fertile land was dotted with farmland and orchards.

The barracks surrounded Rain House City, which had been captured by the army led by Cole.

In the process of creating this full-time soldier, he strictly controlled the discipline of the soldiers, so during the war, he did not allow his men to burn, kill and loot.

Cole sat alone in his tent. After they won the battle with the rainforest army, he fell into deep reflection.

It was Camillo who crossed the mountains that changed the situation of the battle. They rushed out from the rear and caught the rainforest people by surprise. Sir Aemon Ismond was beheaded by a cavalryman named Gabriel, and Cole himself Canonize him as a knight.

During the battle to capture Rain House City, he felt it even more deeply.

Cole looked at the map in a low voice. Although he won all the battles, he didn't feel any sense of accomplishment. In this battle that he personally caused and commanded, his commander's performance can be regarded as terrible.

He seriously underestimated his enemy and didn't understand his opponent deeply.

In terms of timing on the battlefield, he also seemed very stretched.

He is just a rookie leader, some victories and admiration made him misjudge his own strength. Without the giant dragon, giant power and the eye of time, he would be an ordinary person without talent.

He tried to recall the state of mind he had when he first entered the Great Wall. At that time, he was full of sense of crisis, and he saw everything in Westeros as a huge wave that would destroy the world, and he only wanted to find a safe place to rest. Gou's life.

At that time, he didn't know the fate he was carrying, he only regarded himself as a rootless weed, and he didn't know what he would bring to the world, just like a child tempting the night, walking slowly step by step. .

What changed him, was it power, was it power, was it the dragon?

What kind of person would this change make him?

He picked up the list of nobles of the Seven Kingdoms that he brought with him, on the first page it said "Aegon the Conqueror", he flipped back casually, it was "Aegon the Unworthy King" and "Aemon the Dragon Knight", and then The translation is "Daemon Blackfyre" and "Brynden River".

Close the book gently.

The affairs officer walked into the big tent, "My lord, this is the news just sent."

Cole reached out to take it, and began to check the message from Storm's End.

According to news from the north, the northern army led by Ed Stark suffered a major defeat on the northern plains of Duskendale City, and the main force was almost wiped out by the river bend army led by Lando Tarly.

The army of the Reach land advanced to the north and lifted the siege of the city of Riverrun by the northerners. At the same time, Walder Frey's betrayal forced Robb Stark's army to fight against the army of the Reach at the Blue Fork River. fighting.

Robb Stark led his army out, and now returned to the Neck.

The North completely lost all control of the Riverlands.

Cole felt helpless and put down the letter, the people in the north are not good enough!
The next letter came from King's Landing.

Our old man Tywin is about to start using troops on Dragonstone Island. In the letter, King's Landing called on them to participate in this operation together.

They are still trapped in the rain forest. Although he is already using the fastest speed to deal with the enemy, he will not be able to get away for a while. Besides, it is not known whether the golden group is an enemy or a friend. Of course, this friend and enemy is for " Aegon," rather than Cole now.

The Martell family seems to have been paying attention to the Targaryen across the Narrow Sea, so Dorn will be responsible for influencing their secret alliance.

Cole is eager to integrate the stormy land, and he is also preparing for Dragon Ma to cross the sea.

He had hoped that the Starks could catch Lannister's attention in the riverland, but he left the stormland before him, and the Starks were all driven back to the north.

Now Cole is even a little worried that Lannister will come to annihilate the country in a false way. After all, the remaining strength of Storm's End is not much better than that of Riverland.

From the proportion of knights in Storm's End and the Rainforest Army, we can see the situation in the Stormlands, and it is precisely in this situation that it is almost impossible to get rid of it, they still want to fight this civil war.

Of course, there are free folk entrenched in the Royal Forest, and Cole has a barrier on land, but it's hard to say at sea.

All the ships in the Stormlands are here, there are only about [-] big ships left in the Rainforest's family, and Storm's End is only ten thin warships.

He would be a bit unwilling to withdraw his troops now, as long as he captured Greenstone City again, he would be the only voice in the entire Stormland, but at this moment, the situation in the north suddenly changed.

Another piece of news from the northern border, without indicating where it came from.

boom!
He slapped the letter on the table, and Shireen was taken to the north by the queens.

Anger rose from his chest, what did Melisandre want to do!What kind of prophecy did that damned Lord of Light give you, telling you to travel thousands of miles to the north.

He thought of some things about Shirene, and he felt worried amidst his anger. He didn't dare to guess what crazy actions those lunatics who believed in the Red God would do.

"Your Highness, Earl Gulian Swann is asking to see you outside the camp." José came into the account.

Cole calmed down his heaving chest, "Bring him to me."

Although he should have greeted him in person, the late arrival of Earl Swann made him feel quite unhappy, not to mention that he was currently on the verge of anger.

After Jose walked out of the big tent, Cole adjusted his mentality and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart until Gulion Swann in armor walked into the tent.

"Move a chair for the Earl." He ordered the steward.

"I wonder if Your Excellency is in good health?" Looking at the Earl of Stonehelm sitting down, Shiwen controls the land from the red soil to Cape Wrath in the eastern part of Dorne. It has a long history and is powerful.The most important thing is that they didn't suffer too much loss in a series of battles in the Stormlands.

So after Cole defeated the coalition forces in the rainforest, he stationed another army on the side of Stonehelm City to act as a deterrent.

Lord Swann's ornate armor is engraved with two fighting swans, one white and one black.

In the choice of Baratheon and Lannister, the frontier earl chose to hedge his bets. His eldest son fought for Stannis before the Battle of the Blackwater, while his second son is the current Kingsguard. Sir Balon Swann.

Cole had seen this Sir Baron in King's Landing City. He had a strong figure and thick arms. He was a very good knight and had a good reputation.

The two sons of Earl Swann are currently in King's Landing, so Cole can be [-]% sure that the lord of the Stormlands is from Lannister.

Cole picked up the wine glass and poured wine for him. Gurrian Sven's attitude also reflected Tywin's attitude to a certain extent.
