He lowered the curtain and walked into the tent, where Robert was lying comfortably on the blanket.

"It is worthy of being the emperor's envoy, and even the tent for ordinary soldiers has such a comfortable sheepskin blanket, which shows how much oil and water the empire has scooped up from us. Radish began to think about how to take the valuable things out of the tent.

"How about I let you out and find out?" Stannis asked, assigning Robert out to inquire after they had settled in two hours earlier.

"Don't be in such a hurry, boss. Robert rubbed his feet and pretended to be very hard, and then he spoke: "It looks like this time it's going to be serious, I heard the duke's herald say, three thousand more people have arrived here today, plus the previous one, now this mountain pass has gathered nearly 10,000 troops, and there are more than 400 knights alone!"

"A lot?" Stannis felt that the formation of the 10,000 people seemed to be a little insufficient.

"That's not enough! There are almost so many people on the other side of Savoy, more than 20,000 people in total! Anyway, it's been a long time since I've seen so many people come together and fight. ”

Stannis smiled slightly, laughing at how rare this guy was. However, even if there were only 10,000 people, his team of twenty people was not enough, and it seemed that there was no need to hope that he would hide behind and change the tide of the battle by himself.

"What about then?" he asked, "We can't afford to waste it here!"

Robert crossed his legs, "It should be soon, and when the last group of people arrives, there will be a decisive battle." ”

"A battle to win?"

"A battle is a win or a loser. ”

Early the next morning

With the sound of horses, the last knights from the bottom of the valley also arrived at the camp.

And this also means that the decisive battle is about to begin.

Stannis led Robert to the tent in the center of the camp, where the last military meeting of the pre-war period was to be held.

When they stepped into the huge tent, which covered an area of almost an acre, they found that it was already full of people.

"So many people?" said Stannis, surprised, thinking that the pre-war meeting was just a few posturing guys repeating something that had been predetermined a long time ago.

Robert looked around a few times and expressed his surprise, "Hey, I don't know how so many people came this time! ”

Why are such people here not afraid that their plans will be leaked? Stennis believes that the sense of secrecy of these people in the Western Continent needs to be improved.

"And where do we sit?" he asked.

Robert glanced again, pointing to a few empty seats in the corner, "Let's sit there." ”

This is exactly what he wants, after all, the fewer people he sees, the better, so as not to wear gangs.

When they tried to sit down, they heard a loud voice in the hall.

"How can a descendant of the Red Dragon Family deign to sit in that low seat!"

Who, so want to see yourself laughing? Stannis raised his head a little angrily, and found that a tall man was shouting to himself in front of the big tent, this middle-aged man had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a serious expression that was unapproachable, dark skin with a little exotic, and one hand always held the hilt of the sword, and he was not a guy to be messed with at first glance.

"Who is he?" Stannis asked Robert in a whisper.

"Boss, you have forgotten him, he is the eldest son of the Duke of Tanis, Sir Hunian. Robert said quickly.

"Isn't he going to inherit the duke's throne in the future? Stannis was taken aback and looked like he was going to have a good relationship with this guy.

The latter shook his head, "This is not for sure, I heard that His Excellency the Duke prefers his youngest son." ”

Seeing that Stannis did not respond, but instead exchanged words there. Such behaviour would obviously be unpleasant, and Sir Hunian accentuated his tone, "Lord Stennis, don't you come to the front?"

"It's coming, it's coming. Stannis trotted over, after all, he couldn't afford to be offended by such a big man.

"Lord Hunian, don't come unharmed. He threw a fist at the other man, but it felt like the etiquette was wrong.

But the other party didn't care, "I was still curious to find you just now, I didn't expect you to sit there." ”

Do you have such a big face?

"Isn't I close? Besides, you see that the front is full of people, and there is no seat for me. Stannis smiled.

Hu Nian glanced at the person sitting in the front row with a very disdainful look and snorted coldly.

"There is no one here who is more qualified to choose a seat at will than the people of the Red Dragon Family, as long as you want, no one will dare to say anything next to His Royal Highness the Duke's seat. ”

Oh, it turns out that the title of Justin is so valuable, although it is very unsatisfactory, but it seems that the name of the red dragon is still worth a few dollars.

"Sit! If you want someone to sit in the seat, let him move somewhere else, and if anyone doesn't want to, he's having trouble with me Hunian Garcia!"

This sentence was too lethal, and sure enough, a few people took the initiative to leave their seats.

And Stannis and Robert also settled in the first three rows.

Being a duke is really very imposing, and even his son's words are so weighty! Stannis understands why that witch Anya has to become a duke herself before agreeing to be her own harem or guardian mage? Whatever!

The tent soon became noisy, and most of the people were arguing excitedly about the coming battle.

At this time, a herald shouted loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet, His Royal Highness the Duke has arrived." ”

Stannis looked behind him and saw a stocky old man with a crown on his head stepping into the tent, with a short pale yellow beard and a smile on his face, who looked very kind, and if it weren't for the dazzling silver crown on his head, no one would associate him with the word duke.

He smiled and nodded to the lord beside him, and soon he was seated at the front.

To his left is the Imperial Envoy Sean Bin, and on his right is an old man with a sad face.

"That's the Marquis of the Red River, who Savoy drove out of his domain, and now he has to go to our Duke. Knowing that Stannis would ask questions, Robert simply entered the commentary role in advance.

"Whoever wants you to say, I know him. "Stennis is pretending to be another force at this time.

At this time, the Duke slowly stood up from his seat again, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to express my gratitude once again on behalf of me and His Excellency the Marquis of Red River for your help. ”

"It is incumbent upon us to uphold the justice of the gods!" said the other lords except Stannis in unison.

Obviously it was for the sake of profit, and he pulled God out and said it so high-sounding.

Stannis almost laughed.
