Send Troops

Send Troops

Davos counted the knights at the funeral, Cullen from Nightsong, the Morrigan family from Crow's Nest City, the Fell family from Fallwood City, the Errol family from Hay Hall, and the Selmy family from Harvest Hall.

Not a single knight from Cape Wrath is here.

He went to the frontier and the rainforest, and was treated with courtesy and rejection.

They only brought back Stannis's crown from Dragonstone.

A long line of soldiers lined up outside the gatehouse of Storm's End. Guards with spears were lined up in two lines. The Prince Regent rode in front of him, and a group of fully armed cavalry escorted the box containing the king's clothes and crown. On the box

A crowned stag covered with a heart of fire.

They came to the coast, where a raft had already been placed. Cole placed the box in the center of the raft, and the soldiers on both sides put firewood on it.

As the raft floated to the sea, he drew his longbow and fired a flaming arrow.

The fire ignited thick smoke, and Davos saw Cole's eyes condensed. He stared at the sea for a long time.

At the funeral dinner, the drunken Lord Selwyn Tarth of Evenfall Hall loudly rebuked the Ismond family for their betrayal.

House Aemon has gained many supporters in the rainforest, and they have gathered an army in the rainforest, claiming that Ser Aemon is the legitimate heir to Storm's End.

The good old Duskstar's anger was echoed by the knights.

"The guy who knelt down to Lannister also wants to take over Storm's End?" Ser Richard Morrigan asked loudly. "We in the Stormlands only surrender to stags and dragons, how can we let the bastard climb to the top of Storm's End?"

On your own head?"

The sigil of the Ismond family is a dark green turtle on a light green background.

"Yes, the turtles are not worthy of commanding us." Lord Heywood Fell of Fallwood City shouted.

"My lords, may I say something?" Sir Oakley Cullen stood up. He was a branch of the Cullen family of Nightsong City. The Earl of Nightsong City, Bryce Cullen, died in battle at the Blackwater River.

After the war, he was elected as the patriarch of the Cullen family.

However, Joffrey Baratheon has issued an edict to deprive the Cullen family of their ownership of Nightsong City.

"Those rainforest bitches are a group of despicable rebels. They kowtow to the enemy and have forgotten their own glory and shame." Sir Cullen said loudly, he turned to Cole and knelt down, "Your Highness, please

With the order, the Cullen family is willing to serve as the vanguard to bring down the wrath on those traitors."

Cole sat in the main seat with a normal expression, tapping his fingers on the table.

"Before his death, His Majesty Stannis made me the Prince Regent and put me in charge of all affairs." He said, "I know that this responsibility is important."

Cole sighed, "We have lost the king and Dragonstone, and the enemy is always peeping in the darkness. If the storm lands cannot unite, we will only be engulfed by the waves in this chaotic storm.

I thought everyone would understand what we were facing next, but unfortunately I overestimated the wisdom of some ignorant people and the desires of some greedy people.

In this case, I will impose the due punishment on the rebels in the name of the regent, the guardian of the stormlands and the governor of the storm."

He pulled out the long sword from his waist and pointed it at everyone, "Will you all go out with me?"

Suddenly, the whole hall was filled with the sound of a sword being unsheathed.

The Onion Knight also drew his long sword.

After the dinner, Davos walked to the study.

When he opened the door, he saw Cole sitting alone under the candlelight, looking at a roll of parchment.

"I wanted to go to bed early, but I thought I had to ask for your advice." He put down the parchment.

"Suggestions?" Davos sat in front of the chair and shook his head, "I have no suggestions, Your Highness. Your decision is correct."

Cole showed a helpless smile, "Don't be like this, Davos, just wear a mask in the hall."

Davos quickly understood his metaphor.

He took out a roll of maps from the table and unfolded it, "Look, this is my plan."

Onion Knight looked at the words and arrows and felt dizzy.

Cole pointed to a place, "This is Ismond Island. If we want to board it, we can only take a boat, but you know, we don't have many ships at all. Obviously the Ismond family thinks the same way, so he

A small fleet of about twenty large ships gathered in the narrow bay.

And as far as I know, they have also gathered an army of at least 3,000 people in the Wulin City area. It seems that they plan to advance by sea."

Davos listened quietly.

He continued, "There is an army of 2,000 men stationed here in Bone Road. Our enemies must not know that Dorne has become an ally of Storm's End, so I plan to have this army withdraw from Bone Road.

Heading towards Cape Wrath, I personally led the two thousand soldiers of Storm's End from the coast of the Crimson Mountains to the rainforest, forming a flanking situation."

Davos stared at the map. He became a knight just because he sent a boatload of onions. In terms of martial arts competitions and wars, any knight in the Seven Kingdoms is better than him.

"What can I do for you?" The Onion Knight asked.

Cole hesitated for a moment, and said with a slightly bitter look, "Davos, we have no money. In order to arm knights and build weapons, collect war supplies, and build ships, the inventory of Storm's End has been almost exhausted.

All."

In fact, this war must be fought, otherwise the soldiers outside the castle will drag them down, and they will have nothing to lose.

The battlefield has always been a money-burning project. Sometimes we have to work hard on logistics to fight a protracted war, but now Storm's End can't afford it at all.

Davos was stunned.

Just listen to Cole continue to say, "I should have let you have a good rest, but there are really no good candidates in Storm's End, so I hope you can go to Braavos and raise a debt from the Iron Bank.

"

The Onion Knight accepted this task without hesitation. He has been accustomed to running on the sea all his life. Sometimes he feels that the ship is his woman. He likes to let the salty sea breeze blow over his face, it is like

Wife's hands.

In fact, they can borrow money from Dorne, but there may be a bigger war waiting for them next, so it will be useful to win one more golden dragon.

And sending Davos away will also facilitate his subsequent plans.

Before setting off for the expedition, Cole held a military parade outside Storm's End.

He pronounced the charges against the enemy and read out the rewards, punishments and laws of war.

The army passed in front of the castle in great numbers and headed for the distant battlefield.

Cole led the leading army at the front of the team and sent out scouts to explore the road ahead.

They crossed over the Crimson Mountains and entered the land of Cape Wrath.

The enemy had obviously heard the noise, and the two armies were slowly approaching.
