Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 170 Reconciliation?

"Master Gulian, you came here just to negotiate peace?" He carelessly fiddled with the small wooden sculpture of a sea turtle on the table.

"My lord, this is just a magical misunderstanding. Elton never thought of being your enemy. He is Stannis' grandfather, and you are relatives. In the Stormlands, we have always had a saying called 'Blood, No hatred'. I've always hated to see blood relatives fight each other, and I wrote to Stannis and Renly." His eyes were helpless and sad.

Cole twirled the bastard with his index finger, "Do you know what Elton Ismond called me in the letter?"

"Bastard of the Night's Watch, bloody usurper," he said with a sneer. "He never considered me a relative."

"What kind of identity do you think can be worthy of Ismond's noble tortoise blood?" He asked.

Gulian Shiwen thought contemptuously in his heart: At least not like you.

In the eyes of the proud Sven, Cole is just a bitch who once gained power.If he were Stannis, he would marry his daughter even to a Lannister dwarf, but he would not marry her to such a lowly bastard.

"My lord, you also know that old people tend to confuse some things. Perhaps the letter was just a mistake after his old eyesight. You should forgive us, our Lord Eastmond, who is already seventy years old. "Earl Swan used a smile to imagine the contempt in his eyes.

How could the eyes of time fail to see the disguise on his face.

"Do you know how long the lifespan of a sea turtle is? Lord Swan." Cole shook the wooden sculpture in his hand, "I once read a book, and I can't remember which bachelor wrote it. He wrote it in the book He wrote that the lifespan of sea turtles is twice or even three times that of humans. And through his observations, he found that the older the sea turtle, the more intelligent it is.”

"This is really an interesting book, my lord. But I privately think that the task of a bachelor is to serve the master of the castle."

"What a bachelor should do depends on how the Academy teaches them." Cole put the wooden sculpture on the table, stood up, and removed Winter Night from the suspension, "And I'm just a knight, my lord. I serve Stannis, and I know who my lord is, why don't you let me go and see?"

He walked to the door of the tent, and Earl Swan stood up suddenly.

The two walked out of the big tent together, and tents were neatly arranged around the main tent.

When Gulion Sven walked into the camp, he was observing the barracks, but now, when Cole led him on a slow walk, the strict layout could not be seen by a whore merchant.

Cole reached out to stop a soldier who was approaching, and asked him, "What's your name?"

The soldier saluted, "General, my name is Dilu."

Cole patted him on the shoulder, "Yes, let me ask you, do you know why we are here?"

He glanced at them hesitantly.

Cole gave him an encouraging look, "Say it, no one in the barracks will blame you for words."

"It is to kill the traitors of the storm."

"Betrayer?" Earl Swann was surprised.

Cole gave him a smile.

"When I was in Storm's End, I made an oath to my soldiers that I would not kill traitors and never return to Storm's End." There was murderous intent in his eyes.

The killing intent was coming, and Gulian Shiwen couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

"Will you break the oath you made, Lord Gulian?" Cole asked him.

Gulian looked at the soldiers who were watching around, and quickly put a smile on his face, "Only villains and eunuchs like to break their oaths, my lord."

Cole nodded in agreement.

"It seems that Lord Sven already knows my answer," he smiled.

"My lord, why don't you think about it more?"

"Does your Excellency think I'm a villain?" Cole glanced at him sharply.

Gulian shook his head, "I didn't mean that. Before I set off from Stonehelm City, I received a letter from the Imperial Council. His Majesty the King asked me to wait for the Lord of the Stormlands to meet the Kingdom fleet sailing from the west coast. With me As we know, the fleet from Lannister Harbor and Arbor Island has sailed to the mouth of Dorne at this time. My lord, why don't you think carefully before making a decision?"

Cole sneered, "Could it be that the Shiwen family of Stonehelm City has now become a vassal of the king's realm?"

Gulion's face suddenly turned red, "Don't worry about it, I know who I am loyal to when I am in power. I also know who is the real Baratheon, sir."

Cole just tilted his head, "I hope the gods think so, my lord."

"Then please allow me to leave." Earl Swann said.

"Please."

He snorted coldly, then turned and left.

Cole narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at his back.

Sure enough, it was on behalf of Lannister.

It seems that Mr. Tywin doesn't want him to filter the muddy water so easily.

Things got tricky, and with Tywin's intervention, he should seriously consider whether he should make a move.

Earl Swann has already revealed the threat Lannister poses to Cole. The fleets of Arbor Island and Port Lannister are at the mouth of the Dorne Sea, and Ismond Island has been conscripted as a temporary port for the fleet. If you want to If you want to continue to attack, you have to carefully weigh your own strength.

If he wants to fight, Lannister will never let go of such an opportunity to come to his door. Almost all the main force of Storm's End is here. If Lannister takes advantage of the situation to wipe out this army, Cole will no longer be Lannister threat.

This is a dilemma, and those frontier land lords who support Cole behind him will not agree to his withdrawal.

If he advances, he may face a joint attack from the rainforest rebels and Lannister's army. Moreover, the battlefield is still on the sea where he is very weak.

If he retreats, he may be able to return safely to Storm's End, but those frontier land lords who have taken refuge in him will inevitably attack or betray him. At that time, he will be caught in a complicated struggle over the claims of Storm's End Lannisters would like to see it.

Cole paced in the big tent, his mind was in chaos. He flashed various countermeasures and predicted various consequences.

Inadvertently glanced at the book on the seat, that page recorded the "Battle of the Nine Copper Kings" that took place during the reign of Aegon V, a name came into Cole's eyes, and he gently picked up the book.

He shook his head slightly and smiled.

[He rushed into the members of the Golden Company alone, and successfully killed the last Black Flame "Violent" Maris one-on-one]——Fearless Barristan!

What are you afraid of?
