Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 76
Onion Knight "Davos, Seaworth", who was once a smuggler.The smuggler was a criminal in Westeros, and he paid four fingers for it.

Same as the origin of his nickname, he was also a knight who became famous in the siege of Storm's End more than ten years ago.He used his own smuggling ship "Black Bess" to send a boatload of onions and kippers to the defenders of Storm's End who were about to eat human flesh. He supported the castle until the army from the north came to help him, thus winning the victory.

Though the knight was not known for his prowess like Ser "Barristan the Fearless."But no one can deny his courage, daring to use a smuggling ship to cross the Highgarden Fleet's siege to support Storm's End, in addition to his superb sailing skills, it is also inseparable from his bravery.

As one of the perspective characters, the Onion Knight, Cole has an excellent impression.During these days under Stannis, he actually regretted not seeing the Onion Knight.

The two work together for Erlu with similar identities, so they probably have more common language.A knight from the Great Wall, and a smuggler knight.

"Sir Seaworth."

"Lord Julius."

The two commoner knights greeted each other politely, but fortunately, there were no noble people around them.

"Unexpectedly, His Majesty the King will send you here to deliver a message." Cole invited him to sit in front of a tree stump. "I've read the king's letter. I don't know if he has any other messages to explain."

Davos nodded, "You fought an exciting victory, my lord. Your majesty is very satisfied. He praised you in front of all your lords. You know that he has rarely praised you.

"Your Majesty would like to ask you, what are your plans next?"

"Did something happen in the castle?"

The Onion Knight sighed, "Earl Mountford Velaryon asked His Majesty to send troops to fight Renly. He is a radical man. At the meeting, he threatened His Majesty that if he did not send troops immediately, he would take people back to Tidehead Island. Fight for His Majesty again."

It's really internal and external troubles. Cole has no idea what this Earl of Velaryon wants to do. He only knows that he is an arrogant guy.But isn't busy fighting now just busy dying?
"This is really bad news, Your Majesty agreed?"

Davos shook his head, "No."

"Renly seems to be smashing Storm's End, even if the food was burned, he didn't retreat." Cole looked in the direction of Storm's End in the distance.

"I heard that he sent people to Highgarden to gather food." Davos looked at him.

Looking at his expectant eyes, Cole smiled bitterly, "What if you know the news? They won't be stupid enough to be fooled again, sir.

"Go back and tell His Majesty the king that I will lead people to harass Renly's food delivery team, but you also know that I only have this few people, and I can't do much at all."

What can 800 people do, they have been seriously damaged.Those who were stabbed off their horses with spears, tripped over, and shot by arrows, regardless of how easy their victory was, they still lost more than 300 brothers, and more than 200 people suffered varying degrees of severity. injury.

Every charge will lose a few faces.

"I will convey it as it is," said Davos.

At this moment, the smell of meat came, and Cole stood up, "Go and taste the horse meat, ser. When we rode back, two horses fell down, and I had their meat roasted."

"The Dothraki only eat horse meat, and they think horse meat makes them stronger." Davos stood up, trying to make a joke, trying to see Cole's expression.

Cole smiled, "Eat too much meat, but it's easy to get stomach problems, you still have to eat some fruits and melons. Have you been to Dothraki, sir."

Davos shook his head. His smuggling was only at sea and on the coast. "The Dothraki have a bad reputation across the Narrow Sea, and every city-state wishes they were far away from them."

"That's always the case with peoples who don't farm the land."

"I heard that one of them is a horse king who claims to conquer Westeros."

"It's not easy, and I don't think our King will let those fellows come across by sea."

A servant brought the horsemeat to them on a plate.There was a simple tent in the camp, and Earl Duran and several knights were already eating and drinking inside. When Cole came in, they all got up to greet them.

With the plate in hand, sit down on the mat.

"Master Cole, has the king issued any new orders?" A knight cut open the horse meat and stuffed it into his mouth while asking.

The taste of horse meat is not very good, the smell is strong, and it tastes a little sour, and the meat is worse than beef.Before stuffing the horse meat into their mouths, they all had to nibble on a roasted onion, or mix it with blueberries to chew.

"Your Majesty asked us to make persistent efforts. We still have a lot of work to do after the repairs are completed."

A knight held up his wine, "Sir Seaworth, you are welcome."

Davos responded with a drink.

Before Cole and the others came in, they seemed to be talking about something, and Sir Geoffrey continued his topic, "It is Fertimo Crane who led people to chase us, I saw him at the tournament. They came really fast this time, but I think he must have had a great face when he saw those flames."

"Sir, have you fought them?" Earl Duran asked eagerly.

"The scouts had already explored the way. We crossed the Wende River directly from a wooden bridge. Wine barrels had been placed on the bridge. When we crossed the bridge, we burned the bridge with a fire, but some A few guys who were in a hurry to chase followed, and I killed one with my own hands."

"I really hope I'll go with you." Duran's face was full of regret, as if he missed something important.He looked at Cole.

"The war is not over yet, Sir Duran." Cole took a bite of horse meat, and it was really not very tasty.

"The next battle, can you take me with you? My lord." Duran asked.

"Okay." If you really want to go and have a look so much, then let the child go.But if something happened, he can't be blamed. After all, swords have no eyes, and no one can tell the accidents on the battlefield.

"My lord, tell us, how did you know they would go there?" A knight couldn't help asking curiously.

Cole naturally wouldn't tell him about the White Dragon, so he could only prevaricate by saying that the scouts found out about it.

"Information is an important factor on the battlefield. The more information we have, the better we can formulate strategies, and we can take action one step ahead of the enemy."

Well, he can only talk nonsense, anyway, few people will take what he said during the meal seriously, everyone will brag and have fun, and forget it after sleeping.

Before he knew it, the sky was getting dark. After spending the night in the camp, the Onion Knight left early the next morning. He had to go back to the coast first, and then sail back to Storm's End.

Cole is also preparing for what's next.

They can drill directly into the Royal Forest from the Dorn Mountains to harass the convoy and some peripheral troops.But in the imperial forest, the white dragon's vision cannot be seen at a glance, unless it is a large number of troops.But large groups of troops are not something they can solve.

There was not much Cole could do, and Stannis could only rely on himself.

Melisandre, Melisandre.What are you waiting for?Kill Renly quickly.
