Chapter 182: The Victims

Stannis walked out of Barrow's house, and he was like the one who had just entered, for it was only then that he had learned that the person he thought was closest to him was the truth of the betrayal.

But he still couldn't believe that his fiancΓ©e would do such a thing, there must be a misunderstanding in this! Although it was too much for his predecessor Stennis to tear up the marriage contract, haven't they all been reconciled now? The woman also persuaded her father to accept herself again, if she really hated herself so much, why did she do this to confuse herself? She could have killed herself in a more direct way, but it was so complicated, what was she doing this for?

At this moment, Robert jumped out again, as if he did not see that Stannis was in the midst of a huge blow, but pointed at Stannis's waist and shouted in an excited tone.

"Boss, isn't it, the boy Barrona gave you their family's ancestral sword!"

Stannis lowered his head, the Firekiss Sword still in the scabbard on the left side of his belt, and to his right was another sword with the coat of arms of the Bafolou family painted on the scabbard. In the house just now, a grateful and guilty Barrow IV gave the Ice Death Sword to Stannis, who could no longer fight, so he hoped that the Dragon Hacker would use his sword. This will also allow him to contribute to tomorrow's big battle.

"I'm just borrowing it. With that, Stannis drew his two swords, the essence of the sword slashing technique that Stannis had learned before was dual wielding, and now he could finally use his full potential, although he couldn't remember how to use it......

The sharp-eyed Robert saw at a glance that one of them was a fire kiss sword, although there was no flame coming out, but after fighting with it for a while, he clearly remembered the shape of this sword, and he excitedly pounced to snatch the sword, but was dodged by Stannis with a dexterous dodge and kicked him over.

"I want to yin my weapon again, I won't be hit again!"

Robert sat on the ground with his butt covered and howled like a bear child whose toy had been snatched from someone, "Boss, you can't do this, this sword can only be used to the best in my hand, it's not that I look down on you, will you use it?"

Stannis slammed his sword back into the scabbard, "You don't have to worry about it!

Robert stood up unwillingly, he rolled his eyes and had other bad ideas, "I remember that you sold this sword to Baron Fate, even if he is dead now, he should return it to his family, boss, you have to be questioned for occupying the lord's property like this~~"

Stannis didn't expect this guy to eat like this, so he glared at him angrily, "Isn't he without a family here now!

Robert was about to say something, but when he saw Seaworth coming towards him, he immediately shut his mouth in amusement.

"Your Excellency Justine, the Marquis of Enrique has ordered you to go to the pre-war meeting to prepare for the war that is to come. ”

The little brother next to him snorted and laughed, Stannis didn't blame him, that little guy was a failure enough as a leader, his prestige had long been lost, and now he had to expect others to listen to him, and he didn't want to humiliate himself.

But Stennis couldn't bear to see others not being able to get off the stage, and he still had to do what he looked like on the surface, so he nodded to Seaworth, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

A few minutes later, Stannis dragged a displeased Robert into the largest house in the abandoned village.

In the room, Enrique was biting his fingernails and walking back and forth, and it seemed that his words had really lost their influence in the expeditionary force, except for Stannis, as long as only three lords attended the meeting, including Vain, who had been at odds with the little marquis.

"It doesn't look like anyone will come again, Lord Justinian, and you can begin. Seaworth closed the door, and surprisingly he did not let Enrique speak, but let Abbot Stennis hold the meeting.

"Me?" Stannis said, pointing to his curiosity.

Enrique had already changed the nail bite of one hand, and it seemed that he also acquiesced to this fact, and the remaining lords had no opinion.

"These are the lords I have found who are still brave enough to fight, Ser Vane, Ser Fibbles, Ser Tulania, and Sir Barrow have agreed to put your soldiers under your command. ”

"But why me?" Stannis was still unhappy that he had been forced to take command.

"Because you're the only one of us who shows enough composure when we see a monster, and now that's what we desperately need. Seaworth continued.

Stannis originally wanted to shirk it, but seeing everyone's serious eyes, he had no choice but to reluctantly become the supreme commander of the Erathia Expeditionary Force.

He dipped his fingers in some water and sketched a rough picture of the battlefield on the table, "Sir Fibbos, you and Sir Turania guard the right side, Vane you and Enrique's men guard the left, and I and Barrow's men guard the front along with the Rhodoks." ”

Everyone else obeyed Stannis's orders, but Vane asked, "Can we really give the task of holding the only passage to those Rhodoks, and if they betray us, the consequences will be devastating!"

Stannis showed the momentum of a leader, and said with a strong tone: "I believe that these Rhodoks, if they want to watch us all killed, they will completely stand by and watch before, and for this, you can trust them as much as you trust me." ”

Although the suspicion in his eyes did not abate, Vane did not continue.

"If there is no doubt, go back and prepare, those monsters will not attack until the river freezes, so let you rest quickly, we will stay on guard until tomorrow afternoon, and there will be reinforcements to support us." ”

"If anything," the viscount named Fiebos grumbled quietly, and then he deliberately raised his voice to complain, "it seems that this is what happened to me for offending Lord Garcia, and being sent here to die." ”

His unintentional words struck a nerve in Stamnis's keenness, for he was now also a thorn in the Duke's side.

"What do you say!" Baron Turania, who was about to walk out, retracted his steps, his reaction even greater than that of Stannis.

"What's the matter?" Fibbos paused strangely, "Are you asking me why I offended His Royal Highness the Duke? Actually, it is also unlucky, wasn't Whitney demoted to the title of Duke last time, I helped him say something kind, a little impulsive in his language, and maybe even drew his sword, maybe it was from that time that I offended His Royal Highness the Duke." ”
