When Lynn returns to the annex in King's Landing, the final battle in the North is about to begin.

Old Town Port.

Davos Seaworth, the onion knight, was taken aback when he looked at Stannis Baratheon, who was wearing armor and leading the guards, and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you ask me to lead the fleet to the sea to find reinforcements?

Stannis's expression was gloomy and embarrassed to the extreme, and he couldn't squeeze out a good face in the face of this old minister.

"Davos, that Melisandre slut betrayed me, and betrayed the Lord of Light, she made a big statement in the north that I was not the chosen warrior of the Lord of Light, and now you are the only one left with me who dares to speak up and be loyal, and now I am ready to officially appoint you as the Hand of the King, my Prime Minister, let's lead the fleet out of the North, the Knights of the Gripen on the east coast of the widow have arrived at the east gate of the Old City, and the advance team of White Harbor in the north has formed a flanking attack on the Old City. ”

"I, the Hand of the King, but I am from a humble background and cannot be convincing to the people......," Davos was admittedly terrified. "And my Majesty, please calm down, we have thousands of troops in the old city, they can't break through here for the time being, I will go to find reinforcements, so that the people in the north can see your Majesty's true strength. ”

Stannis said coldly, "Davos, that guy Lynn wants me to die, although I don't know why he hates me so much, but I have a hunch that if we don't leave the North, we may really not have a chance to leave."

Don't speak, Davos, now I'm going to officially appoint you Hand of the King, and if you're willing to bring justice to Westeros for me, kneel, Sir Davos. ”

"Your Majesty?" Davos had never seen Stannis so flustered, was it Melisandre's abandonment of the king that made him look so upset?

Damn Lord of Light, damn witch, if he had advised the King not to believe that bullshit faith, things might not have been so serious.

Davos thought so, but still knelt down solemnly, convinced that he was really the only one who could do his life for Stannis.

Now that the king needs him to take on more responsibilities, it is incumbent on him.

Davos knelt down, and Stannis took a dark sword from the hollow-eyed Queen Celis Florent, and rested it on the shoulder of The Onion Knight, the sword that The Onion Knight had the pleasure of seeing once, when Melisandre held the King's Sword for Stannis, which at that time glowed red like a flame, but now it was as dim as a piece of scrap metal.

"Davos, I once convicted you of salted fish and onions, and made you mark as a prisoner of a smuggler, and it was also because of salted fish and onions that I made you a horseman. Now, I promote you to lordship, a true nobleman. ”

"I'm very satisfied to be a knight, Your Majesty ....... ”

"Keep listening, Davos, it's urgent. Stannis's voice was unwelcoming.

"Sir Davos, of House Seaworth, now I ask you, will you be faithful to me, from this day and forever?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Will you swear to serve me all the rest of your life, to give me honest counsel and absolute obedience? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Will you protect my rights and my country, and fight by my side for the benefit of my people and punish my enemies, no matter what is in danger of the future?"

"I do, Your Majesty. The onion knight agreed one by one, but sighed in his heart, my beloved king, you have no people now.

"Arise, then, Davos Seaworth, for you are now my Hand of the King, and Lieutenant Commander of the Narrow Sea Fleet. ”

Davos stood up, his face reddening.

But before he had time to think about it, Stannis had already led the guards past him, and ordered: "Now Prime Minister Davos Seaworth, use your familiarity with the seas to lead our Narrow Sea Fleet out of the North." ”

The onion knight reacted, the Narrow Sea Fleet that the king said should be the only fifty Dragonstone warships moored in the old city harbor, and these battleships that retreated from the defeat of Blackwater Bay became the king's only remaining assets.

Looking at the back of Stannis hurrying towards the old city port, the Onion Knight was full of doubts.

As far as he knew, there was no navy in the north at all, and even if it was abandoned by the damned priestess of the Lord of Light, there was no need for the king to panic like this.

However, the king's orders could not be disobeyed.

He instructed his attendants, in the name of the Hand of the King, to give Stannis' army an order to prepare the Dragonstone fleet to set sail.

As soon as he turned around, he spotted Count Locke who had come in a hurry, and he was sitting in a carriage with a convoy, when old Locke, who poked his head out, asked the Onion Knight.

"Davos, what's wrong with your king, why did he pack his things and prepare to leave?"

The onion knight was surprised: "Lord Earl, didn't Your Majesty greet you?"

"What are you talking about. A young man on horseback beside Count Locke scolded angrily, and Davos recognized this man, he was the heir of a family who was highly valued by Count Locke, and he shouted loudly, "Sir Smuggler, I need you and your men to obey my command, the old city is under siege because of you, and now you want to abandon us and open it, and there is no door!"

The onion knight's brows were furrowed like a cloud of sorrow, but he knew which side he was on, and said lightly: "What? The king has the right to do anything, do you want to stop it? Besides, I am going to look for reinforcements, not to slip away." ”

"Do you think what you say is credible? There are only 2,000 besieging troops outside the city, and our two legions together have 3,000 armor soldiers, what are you afraid of?"

Davos could only ignore him at this time, and turned to the anxious and hesitant old Count Locke and said: "Lord Earl, please believe me, we will not abandon the rare and precious ally of the Locke family in the old city, if the king has other plans, after the fleet sends the king to its destination, it will immediately turn back and fight side by side with the Locke family." ”

Old Count Locke looked at the King's Sword in Davos's hand and said in a deep voice, "You are the King's Hand now?"

"Yes. Davos said calmly, "I am now making a promise to you in my capacity as Prime Minister of King Stannis. ”

"Sir Davos, you know, I have high hopes for Stannis and the Baratheons, and if you break your alliance oath and plan to slip away, you will lose the trust of all the nobles of Westeros, you know what I mean?"

Davos sighed in his heart, bowed and said, "The king of the Locke family's friendship will not forget, and Davos will not forget it." ”

Oulu Locke, the old earl of the old city, received the onion knight's verbal reply, and his old face regained a trace of life, and his gray eyes slightly bloomed with a hint of hope.

He sat down in the carriage, wrapped himself tightly in the cotton cloth draped over his body, waved his hand at the onion knight, and without saying a word, ordered the cavalry escorting the carriage to pull the carriage back the same way.

Davos Seaworth, the onion knight, struggled for a long time about his lie in his heart, until the Locke family's carriage disappeared on the road, and finally turned into a sad sigh.

His red eyes were red, and his bloodshot eyes looked deeply at a sika deer with four hooves raised in the bright flames in the hands of the flag-bearer beside him, and finally shouted to the attendants beside him who were a little stunned: "Didn't you hear my order just now? Let the army assemble as quickly as possible, and board the ship, and we will escort the king south." ”
