Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 60 Meeting
The "Map Table" in the Hall of Map Tables was over fifty feet long, about half that length at its widest point, and less than four feet at its narrowest point.

The whole of Westeros can be seen on the map table. It was made by craftsmen after Aegon the Conqueror traveled the Seven Kingdoms on a dragon 300 years ago. The mountains, rivers and valleys are lifelike.

The rotunda was full of knights and princes. King Stannis called his ministers here today to discuss the next strategic direction.

The three highest-ranking earls sat next to the king, the old earl Adrian Celtiga of Crab Island, who responded to the call with his richly decorated "Red Crab". Whenever people reach a consensus, he will always sing a contradictory tune out of the blue.

It was Earl Mountford Velaryon who advocated sending troops to King's Landing as soon as possible. He is not the standard Valyrian appearance, but has long blond hair and is extremely handsome. He said that the defense of King's Landing is now empty. It is a good opportunity to send troops to fight for, and with the fleet of Dragonstone Island, it can sail under the tower of King's Landing City without hindrance.

The last Earl was a fat boy of fourteen, Ser "Duran Barr Emmon", Earl of Sharppoint.Heir to the family title at a young age, and seems to be a disciple of the Seven, he was seen weeping silently when Stannis ordered the statues of the Seven to be burned.

The voice for sending troops to King's Landing is the loudest, headed by Earl Velaryon, and opposite him is the old Earl of Celtigar who sings the opposite. Play after you lose both sides.

Stannis looked at the two parties with a blank expression. He actually felt quite helpless, after all, there was not even a useful person around him, and Davos was sent out by him.

I can't find any good advice from these few people under my command. Velaryon is very radical, Celtigar is very conservative, and 14-year-old Baal Ammon is just a child who has not yet grown up.

So the decision has to be made by himself.

"With our army, as long as we surround King's Landing for a few days, the dwarf and the boy Joffrey will definitely get out of the city obediently and accept the surrender." Earl Velaryon said fiercely. "Their food won't last long."

Stannis sent him to lead the fleet to seal off the sea, not to let any merchant ship into King's Landing.

"Tywin Lannister's army is stationed at Harrenhal. As long as they go south along the King's Road, they will reach King's Landing in a few days. If King's Landing cannot be attacked by then, how will we deal with it?" asked the old Earl of Celtigar arrive.

"Tywin, he can't even handle a Stark kid." Earl Velaryon said disdainfully.

That's right, judging from the news from the north in recent days, Tywin seems to have suffered a big loss under Robb Stark's hands. He underestimated the enemy, and now he can only retreat the army to Harrenhal. The great army is taking care of each other between Riverrun and Harrenhal.

His three-light behavior in Hejian caused resentment and anger. The people of Hejian assembled into an army under the leadership of the nobles of Hejian. Through internal and external cooperation, they almost took Riverrun back. If it weren't for Kevan Lan Nestor reacted swiftly, pacified the rebellious army in the city, sealed off the city wall, and then released ravens to ask for help. It is estimated that Riverrun City will change hands again.

However, the actions of the cavalry sent by Tywin to support them were somehow known by the Northern Territory. They were ambushed by the Northern Territory Knights on the way and suffered heavy losses.

At this time, Tywin realized later that the siege was just a trick, so he said how he looked like he was about to fight a decisive battle with the northern army facing him. It turned out that they had divided their troops again.

When he reacted and was about to storm the northern military camp, he realized that he had already retreated to Neck and Luanhe City.

Robb was fighting because Tywin's information was poor. When fighting at home, Robb's information was much more than Tywin's. After all, only locals were the most familiar with the terrain and the most well-informed scouts, and Tywin sent Hejian The land was in a mess, and it was impossible for the people in the riverland to help him.

In fact, the battle would develop like this in the end, and he himself could not have imagined that his original intention of launching this war was to alleviate the financial crisis of the Lannister family. After all, the golden mountain was empty, and the war was a new golden mountain.Taking revenge for Lian Ang is a good cover, which is why he allowed his subordinates to burn, kill and loot in Hejian.

It's a pity that the situation turned into a mess in the end, Robert died, Stannis and Renly both jumped back, and there was still a big crisis waiting for him in Southern King's Landing.

Stannis tapped on the table, and the hall fell silent for a moment.Now what he has to face is not Tywin, but Joffrey in the city of King's Landing and Ren Li who is leisurely rushing to King's Landing.

Renly is actually his biggest enemy now. After all, the combined forces of Stormland and Reach Land are a powerful storm.

Now that King's Landing itself is on the verge of collapse, he's not worried at all that he won't be able to attack, but after King's Landing is captured, how to deal with Renly is the big question. Surrounded by the army, will he wait for another onion knight to bring him a boatload of onions as he did at Storm's End?

There are constant worries inside the city of Junlin, and there are no natural dangers outside. Unless a giant dragon is stationed, how can we deal with enemies from all sides?
"Assemble all the troops, our goal is Storm's End." Stannis made a decision that no one could have imagined.

What's in Storm's End?Why doesn't the good King's Landing go to get it, but gathers an army to go to Storm's End?Many people have question marks on their heads, obviously unable to understand the intention of the lord.

When the meeting broke up, countless voices were still discussing.

Some people say that Stannis wants to restore the ancient road, and after taking back Storm's End, he calls himself the Storm King. After all, the Baratheon family has the blood of the Storm King.

It is also said that Stannis wants revenge on those nobles of the Stormlands who did not honor him as king.

Cole and Shirene were sitting in Aegon's Garden playing chess, with Patchface bouncing around. Little Shirene obviously had a lot of smiles on her face in the past few days.

In the aisle of the garden, the figure of Stannis hurried over, beside him were several of his attendants, and suddenly a silver bell-like laughter sounded in the garden, "Balerion defeated the aliens at the Great Wall Ghost, I got the divine sword 'Icemourne', and my attack power has increased by ten points."

The originally hasty pace slowed down, he signaled the attendants beside him to stop, and then walked into the bushes and stamens until he could clearly see the two people sitting on the grass.

In front of them was a map, next to a pile of paper balls, and Shireen slid around the map with a carved wooden bird.

He slowly leaned forward and walked behind Shirene. Suddenly, Cole stood up and bowed slightly, "Your Majesty the King."

Shirin stood up in surprise, and greeted weakly, "Father."

Stannis nodded slightly, he glanced at the map, it was Westeros.This picture is engraved in the picture table hall.

There was a little fear on Shireen's face, like a child who did something wrong.This can't be blamed on the child, after all, Stannis has a cold temperament, let alone a child, even an adult has to be careful in front of him.

Rumor has it that he has an iron heart, is ruthless, and will not be moved by anything.

But Xilin is definitely the warmth in his heart. There is no father who does not love his child, but a person like him is destined not to show his love, and even because of his daughter's illness, he can't hug her.

"The map is well drawn." He praised, and Cole could hear him trying to control his tone as mildly as possible.

"Cole drew it, and the wooden knight and dragon were also made by Cole." Shirene handed out the wooden dragon in her hand.

Stannis took it, looked at the wooden dragon, and believed it was a bird.Then he asked, "Like woodcarving?"

Shireen nodded and shook her head. "This is Balerion, father. And Ser Duncan the Tall."

Apparently Tall Duncan is the wooden knight, which is what she and Cole named their character.

Stannis nodded, put the wooden dragon back into Shireen's little hand, and said, "There are the bones of Balerion in King's Landing."

Stannis didn't stay long. He left the castle and went to the pier to inspect his warships. He took the knights slowly back to the castle until nightfall.

In front of the window of the picture table hall, he looked at the distant sea in the sky, and he couldn't help but recall those two battles, one was the very depressing battle to defend Storm's End, and the other was the very enjoyable battle that defeated the Iron Fleet.

"What is His Majesty thinking?" Behind Stannis, a red figure stepped out.

Melisandre came out from the side of the door, her steps were slow and her voice was soft.

"What prophecy did the Lord of Light give you again?" Stannis asked, then turned his head.

"No, it is Allah who will teach the real king something." She walked to Stannis and whispered in a whisper full of bewitching, "Great king, come with me."

She leads Stannis to the side of the flames. "Please watch the flames, Your Majesty."

Stannis stared at the dancing red and white heart candle, and suddenly some images emerged from the flames. He saw a man with an antler helmet. He recognized it as Renly, and suddenly a fast horse rushed up. Come, he cut off the deer helmet with a sword, and he noticed that the man was holding two swords in his hands.

Suddenly the spark jumped, and he backed away in shock.He turned his head to Melisandre, although this was not the first time he saw the strangeness of this red-robed witch, but this time was definitely the one he felt the most.

"Your Majesty, what did you see?" Melisandre asked him.

"Renly."

"The kingdom will only have one king, and false kings will be punished, my lord."

Stannis' eyes were condensed, and he was actually a little wavering about what he had just seen.

He knew that the only person who used the dual swords was that child.That being the case, so what if you take him alone.

In the next few days, the oppressive atmosphere on Dragonstone Island became even more serious. Everyone knew that the army was about to set sail, and Cole was also dumbfounded by an edict. He was ordered to fight with the army, and his task was to lead dozens of new recruits recruits.

They were mixed with Stannis's own army, and were placed on the "Duke Stephen".

Looks like Stannis won't let him go.
