Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 93 The Dance of Water

From the tower of Storm's End he watched the fleet sail away from Shipbreaker Bay.

From today onwards, this castle will be decided by him for the time being, and it is not known how long he can act as acting city lord.

Shengxia Hall is also the Marquis of Green Valley City, the meaning of Marquis is very clear.In fact, the Marquis can also be called the Earl of the Frontier. It just so happens that Midsummer Hall is also the frontier of the Stormlands, and Green Valley City is also included.

But how long can he be a Marquis?

Sir Gilbert Falling, who stayed with him, was arranged to be his deputy. This Sir Falling had two hundred full-time soldiers, and Cole himself had three hundred soldiers, and the rest of the troops were all taken by the king. It was taken.

Cole knighted both Camillo and Jose, who had been with him the longest.

Some of these soldiers were from other families, and some were mercenaries, but for the moment they were all willing to swear allegiance to him.

At this time, Storm's End was quite empty, and the Maester Paros had already been taken back to Dragonstone Island.

"Ouch." But a sound came into my ears.

Cole looked there and saw a boy, oh no.I saw a girl lying on the ground.

She jumped up quickly, it was Erya.Arya Stark.

Well, Cole almost forgot about this family, and it seems that they haven't left yet.

"Is that you?" Arya looked up at the family crest on his cloak, "You are the White Bird Knight."

"White Bird Knight?" Cole laughed dumbly, when did he get this nickname.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Dance practice." I saw the girl raised her legs, similar to a golden rooster standing alone.

"Is this practicing balance?"

The girl nodded in surprise, "Syrio said so."

"Chief Swordsman of Braavos."

"You know him?"

"I don't know, but I have heard that there is a unique martial art called 'Water Dance' across the narrow sea. The best of them is the chief swordsman of Braavos."

"Yes, Syrio is the chief swordsman, he is my swordsmanship teacher." Arya said.

"So, you are practicing the water dance?" Cole imitated him by posing the golden rooster independently.

Seeing Cole's bulky appearance, she couldn't help laughing, "You look like a big, bulky bear."

"Hey, Jon's little sister, have you ever seen a bear?"

Arya was speechless for a moment, she hadn't seen it, but that's how Syrio laughed at her.But she quickly realized that Cole called her Jon's little sister.

"Okay, I finally met you again. You said that Jon is your little brother. What proof do you have?" Arya asked him.

"Is there any proof for this, you can ask him yourself."

"You big liar, Jon is not your little brother."

"Okay, my little brother is just a joke, but we are friends. At least on the Great Wall, yes." Cole said to her. "He told me he had a sister named Arya."

"I am Arya."

The two talked about Jon, and Cole shared with her the things that Jon grew up on the Great Wall, but she heard her gnashing her teeth.

"Alliser is such a villain," she scolded the Night's Watch master.

"Yeah, he's a jerk."

Someone found him and said that there was something in the castle that he needed to decide. Cole said goodbye and followed the man to the hall.

Deputy Gilbert Fallin had already been sitting in the hall, and when he saw him, he got up and saluted.

Cole walked to the main seat and sat down. He turned his head and asked Sir Farring, "What happened?"

"My lord, it is a manor outside the city."

Four poorly dressed peasants stood in the center of the hall.

A manor outside Storm's End was attacked by robbers, and many people died. Now the serfs of the manor asked the castle for help.

Cole understood the reason, and presumably was affected by the war. After all, in a war-torn land, there must be bandits. Maybe this bandit may be composed of a rebellious army.

Kerr asked Shunong, "Have you seen how many of them there are?"

"More than a dozen people, all of them are riding horses, and when they come to the village, they will kill anyone they see."

He nodded, "I will send people to patrol around your village. At the same time, I will allow you to train your own armed forces and patrols. As for your losses, I promise that all food taxes for the next season will be exempted."

After resolving the matter, Gilbert brought a few more letters from various places, "My lord, these are letters from the raven."

Cole opened a letter, and it was actually from the Great Wall. Mormont asked the castles for help in the tone of the commander in chief. Eun Snow killed one, and another was mobbed and killed by the other brothers of the Night's Watch, but the Watch lost four of them.

He handed the letter to Gilbert.

"How many prisoners are there in Storm's End now?"

"There are some war criminals, about 20 or so."

Gilbert read the letter, he only felt that the contents of the letter were all absurd. "My lord, we don't have enough people to send war criminals to the Great Wall. And the reason is really"

"Then let the Night's Watch come here and fetch them themselves. I need pen and paper."

He wrote a letter to the Night Watchman in the name of the acting castellan of Storm's End, asking the Night Watchman to send people to Storm's End to take over the criminals from the Seven Kingdoms.

After dealing with the affairs in Storm's End, Cole quickly came to the school grounds. He formulated some physical training and swordsmanship training for his own soldiers, and of course also trained their ability to cooperate in combat.

They were already full-time soldiers. Although Cole reduced the number of cavalry and provided horses to Stannis who went out, he still left a hundred cavalry.Their duty in the future is to fight for Cole.

After checking the results of today's training, Cole called Camillo, who is now Cole's cavalry captain.

Cole asked him to lead troops out of the city to patrol, and at the same time issued an order, ordering all the affiliated villages of Storm's End to send 20 people to Storm's End for combat training. They should bring their own weapons and provide food from the castle.

He made a strict statement to Camiro that this order is not a conscription, but a short-term combat training, and those who perform well in the training will directly join the city defense team.

Camillo set off with the men.

Cole called Jose, and gave him the city defense patrol arrangement plan, because he was illiterate, Cole could only explain to him clearly.Where and where patrols are needed, how many shifts per day, and how many people per shift.

He ate dinner with the soldiers in the hall, and the soldiers came in two waves.

Of course Lord Eddard Stark and Lady Catelyn Stark were also present.

But our Duke Stark doesn't seem to be looking very good.
