Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 417
After a day of running around, Stannis and Anya returned to the south and came to an inconspicuous town. There was Charlie, who was sent by him to the south to contact the princes to join the uprising. They agreed to meet here. The old nobles I have always looked down on the emerging Garcia family. In the past, there was a ruthless and cunning southern guardian Snake who suppressed them. Earl Ke was beheaded, and those lords suddenly realized that they no longer needed to be loyal to the master of the royal city. Then, under the secret instigation of the prestigious Charlie, they simply rebelled again and killed the Garcia family. The puppet governor drove away, and then assembled an army to attack the most important castle in the southern border, Ophelia Hannah City. In order to win over them, Stannis promised them that whoever captured the city first would be the guardian of the southern border.

Upon hearing Stannis' promise, the princes in the southern border who were already very excited attacked the castle day and night like crazy. However, the thousand-year-old city is not in vain. As long as there is no trick, no one can attack her from the front. The Principality also knows the significance of Fort Orphea Hannah to them. Once it falls there, it means that the Duke will completely lose control of the southern border, so there is nothing to lose.In order to keep the entire southern border of the city, Garcia's army rushed there to reinforce, and for a while, the city was in full swing.

Both the southern border and the principality were played by Stannis. He deliberately used the city of Ophia Hannah as a bait to attract the attention of both parties there.He resorted to his best trick again - slamming east and west.

Under his secret order, Charlie has secretly contacted his cousin's old subordinates and the lord who is friendly with him, and secretly formed an army to attack the royal city according to Stannis's idea. There is only one condition, that is, the king of the east lead them.

And now they have secretly arrived at this border town located at the junction of the principality's territory and the southern border without anyone noticing. The townspeople here have long since abandoned their hometowns and fled elsewhere due to the war, so it is an excellent place to hide the army. .

When Stannis led Anya into the apparently abandoned town through the interrogation of the sentries, he found that it had turned into a large military camp. The abandoned houses and the square were filled with soldiers from the southern border. They were already waiting here It's been several days.When they saw that the King of the Eastern Realm really stepped into their midst, everyone just heard that the King of Destiny who saved Rivendell and defeated the crusade army one after another was the reincarnation of a real dragon. The first time I saw him, I found that this so-called king looked just like them, and he was not as eye-catching as the charming woman next to him.

Stannis felt that the eyes of these guys were too presumptuous, and when he was about to let out a dragon roar to let them know his untouchable power, a familiar voice from a distance called him: "Your Majesty, you are here!"

Stannis raised his head and found that Charlie was walking towards him quickly. Before he could speak, his captain of the guards began to perform a series of lengthy and solemn etiquette. This complicated set of procedures really made the surrounding soldiers dumbfounded. Although they didn't know the significance of this, a sense of mystery from the ceremony came over them, making them have to respect the King of the Eastern Realm again.

Stannis knew that Charlie was the one who most sincerely hoped to become king. Of course, Stannis understood and was grateful for his loyalty and painstaking efforts, but he also understood his intentions. Things that should belong to me, such as becoming the guardian of the southern border.

But Stannis continued to play dumb, and he raised his hand to signal that Charlie could stand up.

"Thank you for your hard work." Stannis still said enthusiastically.

"This is my duty." Charlie also behaved neither humble nor overbearing.

"After a day of driving, is there a place where we can rest?"

"Of course!" Charlie immediately turned sideways to lead the way, and soon Stannis moved into the highest-class house that could be found in this town, the house of the mayor, Lord Bai. The previous owner had a bit of style.

Stannis arranged for Anya to rest first, he still had a lot of things to do.

After hastily eating a few pieces of bread to satisfy his hunger, Stannis immediately met with the lords who had been summoned. Accompanied by Charlie, Stannis roughly wrote down the names and strengths of each lord.

But at the end of the interview, Stannis was very confused, but he couldn't ask on the spot. He didn't wink at Charlie until more than half of the "handshake meeting", and the two pretended to be convenient from the scene. slipped out.

"Your Majesty? Do you have any questions?" Charlie asked Stannis, who was unbuttoning his belt, respectfully.

Stannis, who started to drain the water, asked a little angrily: "Tell me the truth, how many people came this time!"

Facing the fiery king, Charlie didn't show any fear. He knew that Stannis would be confused by this.

"One thousand and five hundred men fought under your banner this time."

"What!" Stannis was so excited that he even urinated. He knew that the number would be small, but he didn't expect it to be so small!
"Is there any mistake? I asked you to assemble at least 3000 troops for me to attack the royal city. How could the number be reduced by half!"

Such a small number of people attacking the city is obviously asking for death. As long as the city defense officers are not dizzy, they will laugh all over the floor when they see such a small number of people attacking the city. The West Asian side can comfortably wait for reinforcements returning from other places to defend, and then attack back and forth, repeating the tragedy of the rebels being defeated and massacred 15 at the city of Tist [-] years ago.

Even if such a few people can't even touch the city wall, they will be discovered by the county guards along the way and intercepted halfway. It is really impossible to divide the troops and confuse them.

Stannis was jumping angrily over there, but Charlie still looked very calm. Seeing him like this made the lord even more angry and wanted to cut him with a sword.

"You must give me an explanation!" Stannis shouted unreasonably.

"Because your condition that whoever captures Ophea Hannah Castle will be the guardian of the southern border is too tempting, so no one responded to your call."

Stannis was so stunned by his words that he couldn't speak for a long time. He said this condition just because he wanted to play a full set and let those guys who refused to work hard get some snacks. Heart, all swarmed to attack the castle.
