Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 85 Davos
He loves fire so much, even on water.

The cavalry attracted the attention of the enemy on the Rose Road upstream. In order to transport the food this time, Renly even sent all the troops stationed at the Bitter Bridge to the upper reaches of the Lambun River. They cut logs to build camps and ports.

Davos thought their target would be this barracks, but Cole focused on the origin of the fleet. They seized the ships, blocked the river, and approached Highgarden.

This section of the Rambuon River is full of boats. The large merchant ships that can sail on the sea are just small boats for fishing.

The boat burning with raging fire rushed directly to the river bank, and the entire river bank was ignited in an instant, and the flames even reached the barracks on the shore. This fire made people panic.

They drove across the river and went straight to the camp. The barracks that were originally strictly guarded were already in chaos, and they didn't even waste much effort to capture this place.

He burned Renly's provisions again, and Davos looked at the young man standing on the planks.

At this time, it has retreated to the sea, and it has not even encountered a few attacks during the period.

The strong sea wind blows the broken hair in front of his forehead, leaning alone on the railing of the boat, he seems to like looking at the distant sea, watching the waves rise and fall, and watching seabirds gliding.

"Sir Davos, it's not very polite to secretly look at others behind your back." He turned his head, half a rye bread in his hand.

Davos walked aside, it turned out that he was not looking at the sea, but feeding the fish.

"Look, what a well-made nest." He pointed to the sea.

"Nesting?"

"Oh, it means using bait to attract fish. Before fishing, put bait at the fishing point."

"It's a good word for a fish's nest. But you can't catch a big fish with rye bread."

"When I was young, I heard that someone saw a mermaid on the East China Sea Watch, so I thought of fishing with a fishing rod. Sir, you have been sailing for so long, have you ever seen a mermaid?"

Davos found that the admiral of the navy seemed to be very interested in some legends. From the dragon in Summerhall to the mermaid now, it wouldn't surprise him even if he talked about the White Walker. "So my lord, are you fishing for a mermaid?"

Cole raised the bread in his hand and couldn't help smiling, "If mermaids also eat rye bread, then let's do it."

He threw the bread directly into the sea, "Where have we been?"

"We have already sailed out of the Dorne Sea. The island we just passed is Ismond Island. This is the territory of the Ismond family. They are now fighting for Duke Renly. I heard that the owner is a timid and cautious person."

"Soon, they will turn to support His Majesty and fight for the King of Light."

But Davos thought, the enemy has not been defeated yet, and those adults of noble birth and superior status simply ignored him when he brought the king's oracle.He was rejected by many castles.

If Stannis was defeated, would he surrender to the enemy?No, everything about him was given to him by Stannis.

The boat moved forward, followed by a white figure, whoosh dived into the water, and after a while, he caught a fish. He threw the fish away, and then breathed out a breath of flames, roasting the fish black. , and swallowed the fish in the air.

The boat sailed until Shipbreaker Bay.

Stannis himself greeted them on the wall, and at the same time called a great council, and all the knight lords were summoned in the hall of Storm's End.

Davos saw that both Earl Velaryon and Earl Celtigar looked impatient.

Their council was only half-open, and soon the siege horns sounded.

The knights in charge of city defense quickly left the council, and the rest of the nobles followed the king to the tower. The central tower of Storm's End was so tall that the king would usually supervise the battle again, and the situation on the city wall could be seen here at a glance.

Renly's army appeared densely under the city wall like waves.

Countless banners are swaying, the stag with the crown, the golden rose in the high court, the red and gold fox surrounded by blue and white stones, and the hunter in red on the green background.
From the city wall, I can only feel that there are people besides the people underneath, and even the color of the ground is temporarily covered by the crowd.

"They are going to attack the city with the whole army." Earl Celtiga's words trembled.

Only seeing Stannis also looked dignified.

Davos was thinking, it seems that the lack of food and grass made them desperate. He saw the catapult being pushed to the bottom of the city. Although the bed crossbows and archers on the city wall were constantly shooting, they were far from reaching those equipment .

I saw that the catapult was loaded with stones, and when the wooden arm was raised, the stones all over the sky smashed onto the city wall.

At the point where the stone fell, it was directly smashed out of the hole, and countless stones fell, but the city wall of Storm's End was thick enough.

Davos also noticed that Cole's expression was a bit complicated.

The catapults continued to hit from morning to noon, and the soldiers retreated to the archery towers and stairways, only shooting arrows from the arrow stacks.

Occasionally, people holding shields walked back and forth between the city walls.

At noon, smoke rose from the city wall.

"He wants to tell me, do they have any more food?" Stannis had said at the time.

Before the smoke cleared, I saw an envoy coming under the city wall.

It was Alister Florent, Lord of Brightwater, and his niece was Selyse Florent, Queen of Stannis.And now that such a person is sent to Storm's End, I don't know what Renly's intention is.

The king received Lord Alister in the tower chamber, and he bowed first.

"Your Majesty Stannis, how have you been?"

He was a thin old man, but his hair and beard were neatly trimmed. Davos was looking at this noble earl from the queen's family.According to blood, he should be closer to Stannis, but now he is Renly's envoy.

"Are you here on behalf of Renly?" the king asked directly.

Earl Alister showed a decent smile, "I'm here for honor, Your Majesty."

"Really? Then your king has any suggestions, let's hear them."

"Your Majesty, you and Lord Renly are blood brothers, and you are both blood relatives of King Robert."

"I said I would never recognize him as a brother until he wore that treacherous crown, and I would never forgive him unless he was willing to take down that stupid thing." Said the King Very decisive.

"Brothers shouldn't"

"I don't want to hear your twittering for fools, just tell Renly what he wants."

Lord Alister opened and closed his mouth, but without saying a word, he took a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Stannis.

The king opened the letter.

"Humph" I just heard him look at the letter and let out a cold snort. "Does he want to provoke me and let me go out of the city to fight?"

He dropped the letter, "I should have tied you to a catapult and thrown you out of town, but my wife is from the Florents. Go back and tell Renly to come to sea if you want a decisive battle, or he climbs To Storm's End. He will pay for insulting me again and again."
