A thin and tall (shēn) figure stood on the walls of the Storm's Breath and sighed solemnly at the brightly lit and noisy camp below.

This man was Robert's second brother, Stannis Baratheon, who was ordered to stay behind at Storm's End, and only about half a year earlier, Mace Tyrelll's High Court army had marched under Storm's End.

For a teenager who is no more than a teenager, leading a defender of a few thousand against the dense army of the High Court outside the city, even if this teenager is a strong Stannis, he is also very tired, simply put, "my heart is so tired"!

At this time, Stannis looked to have grown a lot taller, his face was as cold as ever, even a little pale, and there was a hint of malnutrition.

Storm's Rest had long since run out of food, and they had to eat horses, then dogs, then rats. Even so, the amount of money that everyone gets is still pitiful.

And the high court army under the city is as happy as ever, even standing on the towering walls of the Storm's Rest Castle, you can hear the laughter of the high court army below when they are looking for fun, as well as the smell of wine and roast (ròu), I have to say, this is simply a double torture of spirit and ** for the defenders of the Storm's Rest Castle who are short of food.

Stannis smashed his fist against the city wall in hatred, thinking, "If I had 10,000 men, I would dare to go out of the city and kill these bastards with a stream of urine, and make sure to teach them a deep lesson!" Unfortunately, he only had more than 3,000 defenders, and 500 of them were old, weak, sick and disabled.

During the first time, Stannis dreamed night and night, and had good dreams, such as a dream that Robert led a large army back to help, and the high court army under the city was killed by the internal and external sandwiches.

There are also nightmares, dreaming that Gao Tingjun has entered the city, and in order not to be captured alive by them, he wantonly humiliated, so he had to jump off the wall of Fengxi Fort with Lan Li in his arms, or draw his sword and kill himself.

Say more (rì) to think, to dream at night. Although Stannis was reluctant to admit that he was looking forward to Robert's return, he often stared into the distance, hoping that an army would come from sea or land under the banner of the Baratheon's Crown Stag.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man's voice sounded behind Stannis's (shēn), "Lord Stannis! The voice followed by a middle-aged black-haired man with a big beard.

Stannis looked back at the middle-aged man, and with an imperceptible smile on his face, he spoke, "Sir Davos, it's you!" ”

Although Stannis is a very self-disciplined and aloof person, he is actually a person who is cold on the outside and on the inside. It's just that his exterior is so cold that people don't have a chance to see his warm heart.

Stannis is grateful to the smuggler in front of him who saved the entire Storm's End, but his gratitude will not be easily noticed.

After all, the smuggler in front of him had indeed saved Stannis from eating corpses. Although Stannis is strong, it doesn't mean that he doesn't feel disgusted by the fact that he eats corpses (qíng), he is just good at disguising his own (qíng).

"Lord Stannis, are you thinking about Brother Robert again?" Sir Davos spoke.

Stannis nodded, and said lightly: "Storm's Rest Castle has been able to survive until now thanks to the onions and salted beef (ròu) you brought in, but Rao can't last long." Our only hope is that my brother Robert will be able to bring reinforcements in time to relieve the siege. Despite his usual coldness, there was a faint hint of gratitude to Davos (qíng) in his words.

"Don't worry, Lord Stannis, before I arrived at Storm's End, I heard that Brother Ling defeated the new Prime Minister Jon Clinton at the Battle of the Bells, and it must not be long before he comes to his aid." Davos comforted Stannis.

Stannis nodded, he was only convinced of that. The situation at the moment (qíng) is not optimistic, the Redwin family's fleet has blocked the waterway, and the castle of Storm's Breath has become a completely isolated city at this time.

Second, when Stannis was called to the city by Sir Davos, he was surprised to find that there was indeed a large army in the distance.

"I'm not dreaming, am I?" Even Stannis was overjoyed, and he rubbed his eyes as if he were sleepy-eyed, but in fact it was just to hide the disbelief in his eyes.

"It's the banner of House Stark!" Davos's eyes were far better than Stannis's, due to the fact that he was a smuggler, and it was essential to make a living on the wide seas, and to identify and identify the fleets of various families and then take refuge in time.

Stannis immediately ordered the city's troops to prepare for battle, though even he doubted that his army would be able to fight after so many days of starvation.

———————————————————————————————————————

Just as the Stark family's reinforcements were found in Storm's End, they were also discovered by the High Court army below the city.

Duke Mestilil's (shēn) material obviously has a tendency to develop horizontally, after all, he has lived a very nourishing life for half a year, almost "watching singing and dancing every night, drunk and lying gentle".

He yawned and struggled to get up from his comfortable and gorgeous chuáng, after all, he had been "busy" until midnight and did not go to sleep until midnight.

Upon receipt of the qíng, our Grand Duke of Metz Tyrell immediately ordered his army to reorganize and prepare for battle.

But here's the problem: almost all of the great nobles were invited to yesterday's feast, like their Duke Mace Tyrellle, yawning and having dark circles under their eyes from lack of sleep.

Gao Tingjun has lived so comfortably in the past six months, it seems like he has come to travel from top to bottom, and it is no wonder that Stannis will send me a lament that I can blow them up with 10,000 people.

Before he could finish his army, Ed had already led a full 40,000 rebels to only ten miles outside their camp, yes, due to the fall out with Robert, Ed finally had a chance to remember the "forgotten Stannis", so he hurriedly led the army to Storm's End to relieve the siege.

In the spirit of chivalry, Ed routinely sent a messenger to Duke Mace's camp on horseback, and amicably told Duke Mace Tyrell about the recent situation, urging him to abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible.

When Duke Mace Tyrell saw Eddard's letter, his eyes were about to drop, "Huh? Prince Rhaegar is dead! His Majesty the King is also dead! King's Landing has fallen! I'm the only one left now? ”

So the imaginary bitter battle did not happen, and our Duke Mace Tyrell gritted his teeth and looked at the group of soldiers under his command who were lazy and slack, skewed and disheveled, so he simply sighed, and then sent someone to invite Ed to come in and talk about his "setting things right".

"Ed, don't go, maybe it's a circle (tào)!" When Han Xingyi heard that the messenger had actually returned to Mace Tyrell to ask Ed to talk, he said as a matter of course.

Ed thought about it, and declined the request, and asked the Courier to deliver his reply to Mace Tyrrell.

It didn't take long for Mace Tyrell to come to the door herself.

His attitude of admitting his guilt is called a sincerity, and his words are called a pertinent, and he simply said, "You don't follow the mad king, I was blinded by loyalty and honor before, and besides, everyone else is dead!" I'm still playing with a ball, I can't take it, I can't take it, change it (rì) I'll go to King's Landing to find His Majesty Robert to plead guilty! ”

Ed didn't expect that his routine letter of persuasion would have such a great effect, and he lifted the siege of Storm's Rest without a single soldier, completely ending this war of the mighty (dàng) (dàng).

However, he deeply admired the loyalty and honor of Duke Mace Tyrrell, who he regarded as a model of loyalty, and although he was suspected of being loyal, it was indeed a chivalrous act. And he also promised to exonerate Mace Tyrell in front of Robert.

Mace Tyrell breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Ed's words, his goal had been achieved. Anyway, he just wants to keep his one-third of an acre of land and continue to be his Duke of the High Court, guarding the southern border.

In return, he tells Ed the shocking news of Lyanna's whereabouts.

It's not surprising that, as the Duke of High Court, Riverlands is adjacent to Dorne, so he knows all about it, and Rhaegar can't escape his ears and eyes when he smuggles Lyanna to Dorne.

Now that Ed is so generous, of course he doesn't mind being generous to others and selling the Targaryen family, which is already finished! If Lyanna can be rescued successfully, even Robert will owe him a share (qíng) by then, right?

As soon as Ed heard the news about Lyanna, he immediately jumped up from his chair, he had planned to ask Princess Elia Martel of Dorne in King's Landing, after all, she was Rhaeggar's wife and must know all about Rhaeggar's whereabouts.

It's a pity that he was a step too late, Elia had already been murdered by the "Magic Mountain", and then he saw that a pair of Rhaegar children were also brutally murdered by the "Magic Mountain", and he was furious, which led to his and Robert's rebellion.

He was already hopeless about Lyanna's whereabouts, but he didn't expect to get news from Mace Tyrell.

And this clue leads him to Rhaegar and Lyanna's (ài) nest, the Tower of Elysium.

Stannis in Storm's Rest is depressed, and he sharpens his sword to join forces with the Stark army outside the city to defeat the High Court army under the city.

As a result, he waited for the news that the High Court army had surrendered, which almost suffocated him from internal injuries! It's as if an athlete is about to show off his hand, only to find that the referee tells him, "Your opponent has withdrawn from the competition because he is sick!" Congratulations, you've won! ”

As a result, the difficult siege of Storm's Rest seemed to be his own "home", and the arduous siege ended with the besieging side switching to the rebel camp, and all of Stannis's efforts seemed to be insignificant.

As a result, the Battle of Storm's End, which should have been more famous than the Battle of the Bell, was stillborn, and Stannis, as the commander, lost a great opportunity to show off his military talents to the people. (The same is true in the original play (qíng))
