Chapter five hundred and twenty first rainy night

Viserys is getting his sword in the cave, and in the military camp in the Stormlands.

boom

There was a sudden thunder in the sky, and dense lightning illuminated the sky. Stannis, who was deep in thought, was startled, and the pen in his hand dropped on the table.

Now at the Chinese army tent in the Stormland military camp, a heavy rain was falling outside the tent.

This is actually a unique landscape in the Stormlands, where it often rains heavily, with lightning and thunder.

Especially after the cold winter, spring will last about a year. Now the footsteps of spring have gradually left, and the thunderstorm-prone summer is coming.

"Tell me everything."

"How should we resist the army of 'Tyrant' Viserys."

The lights inside the tent are brightly lit.

Stannis was startled by the thunder outside and calmed his mind slightly. He took a deep breath, then he put his hand on the table and looked around, and asked.

At this moment, the long conference table was surrounded by Stormlords wearing armor.

Most of them are Stormland nobles who are loyal to the Baratheon family. After Renly's death, some nobles turned around and left in disgrace for his actions, while there were also some nobles who surrendered to Stannis.

After all, compared to Stannis the Kinslayer, Viserys the Tyrant was obviously more prestigious. They were afraid that Viserys would deprive them of their power and fief after conquering the Stormlands, so they united with Stannis.

under his command, to resist their common enemy.

"Viserys's rebellious behavior is destined to fail to win the support of the Lords of the Seven Kingdoms."

"But we alone may not be able to win the war. After all, the tyrant has the support of the Golden Company and the Dothraki."

The speaker was a knight wearing the coat of arms of the Wilder family.

"Humph, relying on the foreigners and the traitors of the Blackfyre Rebellion, Viserys is really a 'good king'."

Another knight in the tent snorted coldly and said in a sarcastic voice.

His words received nods of approval from the other Stormland nobles in the tent.

Another knight wearing the coat of arms of the Dondarrion family did not continue the topic. He looked at the map on the table and frowned.

"My lords, I heard that the reinforcements of the Hightower family cooperated with the army of the Tyrell family of Highgarden to defeat the Dornish army."

Dornish armies have besieged Highgarden since the breach of the Marches, but were unable to capture the garden castle for a long time.

Highgarden tore away its aesthetic side and stubbornly resisted the attack of the Dornish army. In the end, it cooperated with the reinforcements of the Hightower family and temporarily repelled the Dornish army.

"Can we ask for help from House Tyrell?"

Ser Beric Dondarrion of Darkhaven asked.

The messy Chinese army tent was quiet for a second, and then all kinds of random sounds started to sound, and many nobles from the Storm Land were expressing their opinions.

"Probably not. The Tyrell family has too much to take care of themselves. After all, the damn Dornish barbarians haven't withdrawn yet."

"King's Landing!"

"The tyrant has left his capital. We may ask our allies to take this opportunity to attack King's Landing!"

"The Dornish bitch of Viserys gave birth to a daughter for him, and the other dragon bitch is not in King's Landing. She seems to have gone to the West to set fire. If we can take this opportunity to break through King's Landing and capture him

My wife and children, we are not afraid even of giant dragons."

Sir Bruce Buckler of Copper Gate City, who was charging ahead during the day, spoke out.

Looking at the map in front of him, he felt that he seemed to have become the commander-in-chief in charge of the overall situation. He suggested that he ask the Tyrell family to send troops to attack King's Landing, which could not only contain the Targaryen army, but also disperse the pressure on the Stormlands army.

However, his taken-for-granted words met with the opposition of Arstan Selmy, Earl of Harvest Hall, and the young knight sneered and said.

"A dragon can fly from Storm's End to King's Landing in just one day, Ser Bruce."

"And when you said this, did you think about Lord Stannis's family being in the hands of the other party?"

Lady Florent and the little girl Shireen are still under house arrest in King's Landing, but the 'tyrant' did not threaten Stannis to surrender.

There was a noise in the tent, but Stannis frowned and said nothing.

As Stannis's most reliable aide, Onion Knight Davos did not speak. He looked at the map with a slightly furrowed brow, and seemed to be thinking about countermeasures.

"Davos."

At this moment, Stannis suddenly spoke.

"grown ups?"

Davos came to his senses and raised his head. It turned out that Stannis was a little worried about the safety of the camp.

Because there were not many nobles and knights in the Stormland army who had fought against Viserys, except for the Earl of Evening Hall who died on the battlefield of the Green Fork, only Stannis and Davos were left.

The remaining people didn't know much about Viserys and his dragons. Although it was a rainy night, Stannis was still worried that Viserys would attack the camp during the night.

'After all, this is a person who is difficult to understand with common sense.'

Stannis thought to himself.

However, he is not worried about his wife and daughter who are under house arrest in King's Landing, because his brother has not been beheaded yet, and Joffrey and Cersei can still live in the Red Keep, so they can know that Viserys is not a ruthless person.

People who are guilty are at least less guilty than their family members.

But Viserys's failure to execute Robert quickly also brought some obstacles to Stannis, preventing him from being crowned so legitimately.

If he is crowned king, Stannis will have more confidence to fight against Viserys, and his appeal will be more widespread and justified.

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 his last bit of "passerby popularity".

"Perhaps on the eve of the war, the coronation can be held in the military camp?"

Stannis's face was solemn, but his heart was slightly moved.

But for now, we still have to focus on war, otherwise even if we lose the battle, even if we are crowned, we will be a short-lived king.

Naturally, the Onion Knight didn't know Stannis' inner thoughts. After receiving the order, he turned around and left the military camp.

At this moment, he ran into a soldier who was about to open his tent and walk in.

"Lord Davos."

The two met each other, nodded and said hello to each other, and then left.

However, after Davos took a few steps out, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the soldier looked a little familiar, and then he couldn't help but turned his head and looked behind him.

Who does he look like?

It seems a bit like Donal Swann, Renly's adviser...

However, when he turned his head, the other party had disappeared without a trace.
