Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 63 Storm's End

"That's it?" Cole took Melisandre and handed him a ruby ​​necklace. Compared with the huge gem on her chest, this ruby ​​looked like a dim star that was brighter than the bright moon. .

The gem was a means of detection from the temple of the Red God, and whenever she saw the gem glow she would know that her own magic had been successfully used.

"When its light starts to flicker, it means that the power of magic is approaching." Melisandre explained.

"But how should I defend against magic attacks?" Cole asked what he cared most about.

Melisandre glanced at him casually, "The cost of activating magic is not small, and different magics have different countermeasures, and blood magic is undoubtedly a difficult one. The activation of this kind of magic requires the blood of blood relatives as an introduction. , the closer the blood, the stronger the effect of the blood magic.

Blood magic needs to use life as a sacrifice to ask the god of death, and the initiator will also be implicated and consume his own flame of life. If the flame of life is strong like His Majesty the king, even blood magic will not be able to damage it.

But if you want to interrupt the activation of blood magic, you only need to drop blood into the flames and chant this spell. "

"Varameha." Melisandre uttered a long incantation.

Cole read it along with her accent, and the woman in red corrected him a few pronunciations.

As Cole sang, the ruby ​​in the necklace began to glow slowly, and it seemed that the magic had started.

He noticed that Melisandre froze.

"I will keep my promise and give my own advice, but war is never a matter of words. There are countless factors that affect a war, and my ability is limited."

Melisandre looked at him with complicated eyes, which made Cole a little confused.

He actually admired the red witch, although it seemed that she was bewitching Stannis, but it was undeniable that she had been doing things for Stannis conscientiously and conscientiously, and Stannis would have known this.

Erlu's subordinates really don't have many capable people, and after he kills Sanlu Renly, his subordinates will be a bunch of scumbags.

Cole wore a ruby ​​around his neck, at least he wouldn't be blinded by magic in the future.

"Camilo, take a few brothers to escort this lady back to the castle." Cole called his deputy.

He drank the wine last night to his heart's content, but his face was still a little tired at this moment.

Cole went to inspect the morning practice of each team. In fact, it was just puncturing with a spear, and he didn't know if it would be useful on the battlefield.

Cole walked to the school field of his own guards, and they were training against each other one-on-one.

"Hey, Little Rocca, pay attention to your feet." Little Rocca, who was about the same age as Cole, was jumping around with a sword in his hand. People who didn't know thought he was boxing.

Hearing Cole's words, Carlo quickly stood still, and then hit a log on his head.

Cole walked over to correct him with hatred. Although he was half-baked and his training experience was pitifully small compared to the Great Wall's coach, he had really fought on the battlefield and knew how to do it better on the battlefield. Good life saver.

Although jumping can make the body more flexible, on the battlefield where knives and arrows are flying, it is better to fight steadily, protect yourself and think about killing the enemy at the same time.

Cole spent a lot of time training the 30 people, and he replaced some of the sneaky and tricksters, and threw them into the hunting and transporting teams.

In the past two weeks, their training has indeed had a lot of effect. The same training, under Cole's supervision and careful teaching, they seem to be much better than the other ten groups.

They have a greater amount of training, and Cole will also focus on their physical fitness and discipline training. Of course, they have also kept up with their food. Qualified recruits.

In order to replenish them, Cole even asked the three groups of his men to go fishing. Regarding this imbalance, there must be complaints in his heart, but no one dared to say anything.

Cole is also helpless, he wants to train everyone, but he has limited energy and food, even if it takes so much effort, he can only train them like a post-military training The performance of college students after actually going to the battlefield is still unknown.

Camillo is a clever boy. I heard that he used to be a street stalker in the village, doing some sneaky things all day long, but no one ever caught him.As a result, he was sent to the military camp by the people in the village to make up the numbers.

He knows how to speak nice words than the stupid Namu fishermen, and he has a thicker skin. He is proudly leading people back. Seeing his stinky fart, Cole couldn't help but want to give him a kick.

Camillo walked to Cole's side as if claiming credit, "Master Cole, that beautiful lady has been sent back to the castle."

"Didn't say anything you shouldn't have said?" Cole remembered the scene where he molested the prostitute.

He scratched his head, as if he was still embarrassed that Cole broke him, "How dare I, my lord."

He, Camillo, was a fool, and he also knew that the people living in the castle could not be messed with. Maybe a word would move his tongue.Not every nobleman is the same as Lord Cole.

"Okay, you can go on patrol instead of me after lunch, I still have some things to do." Cole threw him a sword, "Practice hard, don't be killed by the enemy as soon as you go to the battlefield, I don't want to change another adjutant."

Cole had lunch with the guards who were training together, and then walked towards the beach, still holding a bag in his hand.

Gradually away from the crowd along the coast, a white shadow glides from the sea. After a period of growth, the white dragon has grown to the size of a swan, and with the silver and white color, it is soaring in the sky. What.

The white dragon has been hunting at sea for the past few days, and the dragon's wings have become much stronger during the training. At least he can now hunt down sea eagles in the sky.

He looked like a white bird when he soared into the sky, and Cole changed the bag on the white dragon's feet. Inside was a bunch of freshly caught sea fish, all of which were difficult to catch in the open sea, and sold very expensive in the market.

No way, Cole is really too poor now. These fish are more popular with the nobles and taste very delicious.Cole will ask Camillo to sell it to those noble kitchens.

Generally speaking, such a bag of fish can be sold for two to three silver deer. After all, this kind of fish is really difficult to catch in the offshore.

Bailong took the beef and mutton brought by Cole back to the lair. Here is a crevice covered with dragon crystals. Every day, Bailong would pick out dragon crystals from the wall to use as digestion tablets.

Then he rushed to the surface of the sea and soared in the direction of the sea wind. The wind and waves in the narrow sea were ups and downs. I don't know how many ships have sunk in this sea. Turbulent.

At the mouth of a bay, the white dragon turned and flew in. The wind and waves in this bay were even fiercer, and the huge waves were like devil's claws rubbing against the cliffs. There were only a few shoals where ships could berthed. A thick fortress stands on it.

Looking from the sky, the fortress is surrounded by layers of outer walls. The thickness of the city wall is many times thicker than that of Dragonstone Island. The whole castle looks like a tower, with a towering spire in the center. The situation is unobstructed, and pedestrians on the ground can also be seen.

Here is Storm's End, one of the fortified strongholds of the Dawn Era.

Looking at the sky, Bailong knew how difficult it would be to capture this castle.

Although the direction of the war is not clear among the soldiers, Cole knows that Stannis will inevitably come to besiege Storm's End.

Renly's [-] troops were already marching in the direction of King's Landing, with a huge and unstoppable momentum. Almost all the nobles in the southern border responded to his call, which shows how popular he is among the nobles.

If Stannis wants to ascend the Iron Throne, he can't avoid the confrontation with Renly. If Melisandre doesn't use the shadow killer to assassinate Renly, then Dragonstone's chances of winning are not great at all.

The only thing that can break the wrist with Renly is the navy, so the battlefield must be moved to the sea.

Taking Storm's End would make them ten, and with Dragonstone's Royal Navy docked at Shipbreaker Bay, their supplies could be brought in by sea. If Renly wanted to siege the city, he would have to fight a naval battle with them.

Cole knew that Melisandre would give birth to a shadow killer to kill Renly in the end, but since he had already promised him, he still had to do some superficial work.

The White Dragon's inspection this time was to observe the weakness of Storm's End. First of all, Stannis's army was limited, and he had to surround Storm's End with great speed, so that the castle could not gather troops.

Stealing Renly's house, he would definitely come in separate groups, and Cole knew he would come in person.

Cole's suggestion is to take Storm's End before Sanlu's army arrives.

Stannis' original approach is definitely extremely clever, just killing one person and winning the city.Attacking the city is the bottom line, attacking the heart is the top priority, so Cole's first thought was to take Storm's End without a fight, but after thinking about it carefully, as long as Renly survives, this castle is not alone, and they have no reason to surrender at all.

If you want to attack Storm's End, you have to use surprise soldiers to win by surprise, and infinitely magnify the advantage in the weak points of the castle. Stealing the city is the best, but it is also the most difficult. Now Renly appointed Kotnay as the acting city lord Ser Penrose was not a careless man like Edmure at Riverrun.

It's not that Edmure is an idiot, it can only be said that compared with his nephew Robb, his sense of war is too low, and he is easily influenced by others.

Among the original five kings, he ruined Robb's plan.

Sir Cortnay Penrose was an experienced commander, and Cole didn't know him enough. He knew Edmure because of the kid's jokes about shooting arrows in the episode, which aroused his curiosity.

Cole was holding a piece of paper to describe the city defense of Storm's End, until a detailed blueprint jumped out.

Cole started to write something against the blueprint of the city defense
