Chapter 522 Rainy Night
Viserys was taking his sword in the cave, and in the barracks in the Stormlands.
boom--
There was a sudden thunder explosion in the sky, and the dense lightning lit up the sky, making Stannis, who was in deep thought, startled, and the pen in his hand fell on the table.
Now, in the large tent of the Chinese army in the barracks of Storm Land, a heavy rain is blowing outside the tent.
This is actually a unique landscape of the stormy land, where it often rains heavily, with lightning and thunder.
Especially after the winter, spring will last for about a year. Now the footsteps of spring have gradually left, and the summer with frequent thunderstorms is coming.
"Let's talk about it."
"How should we defend against the army of 'Tyrant' Viserys."
The lights inside the tent are bright.
Stannis was startled by the thunder from the outside world, calmed down a little, took a deep breath, then looked around with his hands on the table case, and asked.
At this moment, the long conference table was surrounded by armored storm generals.
Most of them were Stormland nobles who were loyal to the Baratheon family. After Renly's death, some nobles were ashamed of his actions and turned away, while some nobles also joined Stannis.
After all, compared to Stannis the kinslayer, the tyrant Viserys is obviously more famous. They are afraid that Viserys will deprive them of their power and fief after taking the storm, so they unite in Stannis. under their command against their common enemy.
"Viserys is doing the opposite, and he is destined to not be able to get the support of all the adults in the Seven Kingdoms."
"But we may not be able to win the war alone. After all, the tyrant has the support of the Golden Company and the Dothraki."
The speaker is a knight wearing the coat of arms of House Wilder.
"Hmph, relying on aliens and traitors from the Blackfire Rebellion, Viserys is really a 'good king'."
The other knight in the tent snorted coldly, and said with a sarcastic voice.
His words were nodded in agreement by the rest of the storm land nobles in the tent.
The other knight wearing the Dondarrion family crest did not continue the topic. He frowned while looking at the map on the table and said.
"My lords, I heard that the reinforcements of House Hightower cooperated with the troops of House Tyrell of Highgarden to defeat the Dorn army."
The Dornish army besieged Highgarden since the frontier breakthrough, but was unable to take the Garden Castle for a long time.
High Court tore off its beautiful side, stubbornly resisted the attack of the Dornish army, and finally cooperated with the reinforcements of the Hightower family, which temporarily repelled the Dornish army.
"Can we ask the Tyrells for help?"
asked Sir Berry Dondarrion of Blackhaven.
The messy central army tent was quiet for a second, and then all kinds of messy voices sounded, and many nobles in the storm land were expressing their opinions.
"It shouldn't work, the Tyrell family can't take care of themselves, after all, the damned Dorne barbarian hasn't retreated yet-"
"King's Landing!"
"The tyrant has left his capital, we may ask our allies to take this opportunity to attack King's Landing!"
"That Dorne bitch of Viserys gave him a daughter, and the other dragon bitch wasn't in King's Landing, she seems to have set fire to the West, if we can take this opportunity to break King's Landing and catch him Our wife and child, even if it is a giant dragon, we are not afraid."
Today, Sir Bruce Bockler, who charged in the former Copper Gate City during the day, complained about his opinion.
Looking at the map in front of him, he felt that he seemed to have become the commander in control of the overall situation. He suggested that he could ask the Tyrell family to send troops to attack King's Landing, which would not only contain the Targaryen army, but also disperse the pressure of the Stormland army.
However, the words he took for granted were opposed by the Earl of Harvest Hall, Astan Selmy, and the young knight sneered and said.
"The dragon can fly from Storm's End to King's Landing in a day, Ser Bruce."
"And when you said this, did you think about the fact that Lord Stannis's family is also in the other's hands."
Mrs. Florent and the little girl Shireen are still under house arrest in King's Landing, but the "tyrant" did not use this to coerce Stannis to surrender.
There was a commotion in the tent, and Stannis frowned and said nothing.
As Stannis's most reliant staff, Davos the Onion Knight didn't speak either. He frowned slightly at the map, and seemed to be thinking about countermeasures.
"Davos."
At this moment, Stannis suddenly spoke up.
"grown ups?"
Davos came back to his senses and raised his head. It turned out that Stannis was a little worried about the safety of the camp.
Because there are not many nobles and knights who have fought against Viserys in the Storm Land Army, except for the Earl of Twilight Hall who died on the battlefield of the Green Fork, only Stannis and Davos are left.
The rest didn't know much about Viserys and his dragons, and although it was a rainy night, Stannis was worried that Viserys would take advantage of the darkness to attack the camp.
'After all, this is a person who is difficult to understand with common sense. ’
Stannis thought to himself.
But he wasn't worried about his wife and daughter under house arrest in King's Landing, because his brother had not been beheaded yet, and Joffrey and Cersei could still live in the Red Keep, so he knew that Viserys was not a ruthless man. people, at least not as much as their family members.
But Viserys' failure to execute Robert quickly also hampered Stannis from being crowned so rightly.
If he is crowned king, Stannis will have more confidence against Viserys, and his appeal will be more extensive and justifiable.
Stannis has been thinking about the coronation for a long time recently, but Davos has been trying to dissuade him. The Onion Knight believes that Stannis's hasty coronation will ruin the last bit of "passer-by".
"Maybe on the eve of the war, you can be crowned in the barracks?"
Stannis' face was solemn, but his heart was slightly moved.
But at the moment, the war is still the main thing, otherwise, even if you lose, you will be a short-lived king even if you are crowned.
Naturally, the Onion Knight didn't know what Stannis was thinking, so he turned around and left the barracks after receiving the order.
At this moment, he ran into a soldier who was just about to open the tent and walk in.
"Lord Davos."
The two met face to face, nodded and said hello to each other, and then left.
However, after Davos had just walked a few steps, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the soldier looked a little familiar, and then he couldn't help turning his head to look behind him.
Who is he like?
Seems a bit like Donal Swain, Renly's sidekick...
However, when he turned his head, the other party had disappeared without a trace.
