Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 83 The Immortal Cole

It was night, they were fighting hard, and the enemies came wave after wave.

A soldier raised a stone and threw it violently against the wall. As soon as he stretched his head, he heard the arrow piercing through the air. He only heard a whistling sound, and then lost consciousness.

The soldiers raised their shields and gathered under the city wall, and slowly set up the long ladder for climbing the city wall.But the people on the city wall couldn't let them succeed. As soon as the head of the ladder came up, they pushed with their hands and slapped with their weapons.

The head of the ladder is made of metal to form a row of sharp and heavy iron hooks, once approached, it is like the sharp teeth of a tiger rushing down.

People in the city can only avoid it.

When the long ladder fell, they tried to push back, but they were firmly nailed to the city. The people below held the shield and began to climb up one after another.

When the enemy approaches the city wall, there will be countless blades and spears waiting for them.

Even if the shield is held high, it can't stop this dense attack, or the wrist, waist and leg are hit.Or they were stabbed riddled with holes, and saw one after another howling and falling from the city wall.

Just hearing a bang, countless stones came from the sky and flew into the castle.

And the city wall did not show any weakness, there was a sound of a powerful crossbow, and the crossbow arrow, which was as big as a bowl, pointed directly at the crowded place under the city wall, and then howled.

There was a sudden roar on the city wall, and it seemed that someone rushed up there, and then people climbed into the city one after another.

At this time, the soldiers in the stairway below the city also rushed into the wall, and the flames that had just started from the climbers were instantly dispersed by the large crowd.

Cole stood on the huge tower of Storm's End, and he could see the fierce battle below. It was unexpected that Renly had launched such a fierce attack.

This level of siege is full of pressure on both the attacker and the defender.

The moment he returned to Storm's End, Stannis held a great council, and all the knights and nobles were present, and Cole naturally followed without knowing why.

He came back with the Onion Knight. Of course, it can also be said that the Onion Knight took a boat to pick him up.

The two paddled all the way back to the Lower Cape of Storm's End from Shipwreck Bay, and were picked up by soldiers in baskets back to the city.

Stannis clearly remembered seeing the surprise in Melisandre's eyes.Of course, there are also the surprises of the knights and nobles in the hall.

It all started with a bird, of course.

That day, a big raven flew out of Storm's End, and was attacked by a white shadow in the sky not far away. The terrifying aura instantly made the raven lose its resistance.

The raven was being picked up by Davos, and he handed it to the maester Pylos, who read the letter, and then Davos came.

Maester Pylos has always wanted to deliver the letter to the king, but has never had the chance.

The white dragon didn't find the cavalry, so Cole had to return to Storm's End first, and he also told Stannis the news that Renly was going to transport food by water.

Renly's army could no longer stand up to the city, this was already the fourth day, and they couldn't stand such a high-intensity attack.

But his 4 people can only stare under the city wall, which is too high and too thick.There is a moat connected to the gate of the city, which is difficult to access. There are several places where you can climb down to the foot of the city, but the city wall is so thick that there is nothing you can do.

There are only 4000 people in the castle, which is one tenth of them.But a Storm's End instantly bridged the gap in numbers.

What's more, the sea route can also continuously supply Storm's End. Renly has already sent people to the Arbor Island, but the Redwyne family did not respond to his call for this expedition.

Highgarden is located inland, and only the Redwyne family on Arbor Island can form a fleet within the overall planning range of the Tyrell family.

The Redwyne family has always been the sea guarantee of the Reach, and their family fleet is as famous as the Royal Fleet and the Iron Fleet in Westeros.

And the wine from Arbor Isle is the best wine in all of Westeros.The family banner of House Redwyne is the banner of grapes on a blue background, which is where it came from. Their family is strong and rich.

However, the reason for Renly's attack was to attack King's Landing, so Redwyne did not respond. It is speculated that his sons are in King's Landing at this time, in the hands of Cersei and Joffrey.

Without the navy of the Arbor, Renly could not do anything to Stannis at sea, and they could only call in fishing boats to transport food.

After the siege was over, Stannis convened a small council.

Cole and Davos came together, and happened to meet the bachelor Pylos at the door.

Although Davos gave the raven to him as soon as he picked it up, the Onion Knight didn't have a good impression of the bachelor.

Before the king came, everyone in the small meeting greeted each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Stannis came in, accompanied by Melisandre.

The reason for this small meeting is because of the news that Cole brought.

Cole unfolded the map he brought with him, "This is the map I drew when I led the cavalry to fight."

He pointed to the Dorne Mountains, "Here I had an encounter with the enemy's cavalry, so I got separated from the team, but I also got a piece of news."

Turning his finger to Highgarden, "After the food was burned, Renly seems to have gathered the food again. This time he seems to be no longer planning to come from the Rose Avenue, but to bring the food by water."

The river course is connected together, just enough to reach the Imperial Forest not far from Tongmen City.

He continued, "But according to what I found in the imperial forest, the water of the Wende River seems to be a little dry, and many sections of the river have become difficult for boats, so I speculate that they should transport the grain to the upper reaches of the Wende River, and then transfer to the upper reaches of the Wende River. Transported by horse-drawn carriage."

Cole looked at Stannis at the end, "They are transporting by water, the food must be in a hurry. If we can stop this batch of food, then the army under the castle will collapse without our help." .”

Stannis is also staring at the map. His fleet is stationed outside Shipwreck Bay. He is responsible for defending the Arbor Isle's fleet. It is also his last retreat. If Storm's End is not defended, they can turn back to sea. .

If this army is sent away, it will cut off the way of retreat. At that time, the only way is to defend Storm's End.

"But the rivers of Highgarden are too far for the fleet to sail around Dorne?" said Ser Axell Florent.In his mind, if he wanted to stop the enemy's fleet, he could only let their fleet go all the way to the Mander River in Highgarden.

Cole didn't explain, he just waited quietly, waiting for Stannis' decision.He's done everything he needs to say and do.

This would be a gamble, and Renly would definitely put a lot of effort into this ration shipment, and it was very likely that this was false news.

Cole turned his gaze to Melisandre, only to see her stomach grow slightly.
