But nine times out of ten, life doesn't go as planned.

Master Romon scratched his head and said, "Your Excellency, the situation may be a bit complicated. Starfall was inherited by the previous earl thirty years ago, also by your father, and then, according to him, was lost on the banks of the Blackwater, but we all privately assume that he used it as collateral for gambling debts......"

Why do you cry? Stannis touched his tearful face and stood in the wind.

"Don't play with me like this. He muttered to himself, how difficult is this passage to his own level of hell?

"Boss, don't think about it! If you commit suicide, who will support me in the future. Robert said anxiously.

Stannis glared at him, "The first thing I'm going to do before I hang up is to hack you to death!"

Life still has to go on, and since the most beloved sword has been lost, it can only be picked from the rest of the guys.

"What's this pointed-headed stick?" he picked up a short stick with a spearhead and swung it twice, it didn't look too heavy, and it was suitable for him as a beginner lover of cold weapons.

Robert leaned in and gave a thumbs up, "Boss, you have a vision, this thing is amazing, it can stab and smash, and one weapon can do two effects." ”

He put it back and picked it up, his eyes fell on a one-handed shackle, not for anything else, but the only thing he could do with one hand......

Picking up this weapon like a tool hammer, Stannis didn't feel the soul resonate.

"What's the name of this shackle?"

Master Romon hurriedly flipped through the brown book, and it seemed that there were not many people who chose this weapon, so even the old pedant didn't know about it.

"'Broken Knees', rumored to be a weapon forged by dwarves against giants, spread to your clan at some point, and is generally used to smash walnuts, most famously as if it was accidentally killed by a passerby. ”

That's it! Because Stannis resonated with the same background as this weapon, the same confusion, the same uselessness.

"It's going to be my exclusive equipment from now on. The lord announced in public.

Before the three of them could congratulate him, suddenly, a curling puff of smoke lit up from a distance, and the white wolf smoke reached into the sky.

"It's a beacon alarm!" romond shouted in disbelief.

But Korodov and Robert were excited.

"What's that?" asked only an inexplicable Stannis routine.

"There is a warning from the frontier! you need to respond to the call of the Duke and prepare your army to converge. ”

Stannis understood the meaning of the words, and an inexplicable throbbing came from the bottom of his heart.

"So, there's going to be a war!"

The day after the wolf smoke set up, a scout from the royal capital brought an edict from Duke Tanis, telling the Red Dragon family to fulfill their oath to him.

Maester Romon took the edict and read it quickly, "It turned out that there was a conflict with the Duchy of Savoy to the south, and it is rumored that a marquis under the rule of the Duchy of Savoy decided to change his allegiance, so His Excellency the Duke of Tannis is ready to lead an army to meet him." ”

"Uh...... Does the empire care about this situation?" "Stanis clearly remembers that there is an emperor above these dukes' heads, is it possible that the emperor is just a rubber stamp like the Holy Roman Empire?

"The Imperial envoy has failed to mediate, and both dukes have agreed to decide the battle on the battlefield, and as things stand, the Imperial army stationed here does not look like it is moving. ”

"Could it be that the empire is willing to see the two principalities under it fight for a little profit without forcibly intervening?"

Master Luo Meng sighed, he looked at the west worriedly, "Your Majesty the Emperor is probably happy for this situation to happen, no matter who wins or loses in the war between the two imperial electors, it is a war that outweighs the losses, and the weakened princes can make His Majesty the Emperor's throne more stable, and if it is not good, among the reasons for the war, the figure of the royal family is indispensable." ”

As soon as he said this, Stennis understood that it seemed that the cruel politics of ancient and modern China and foreign countries would not be outdated in any world.

"Also, Your Excellency, it says that you must arrive within three days at the 'Sunset Pass', where all the lords of the Duchy have assembled with their armies. Master Romon continued.

Stannis had a lazy cancer, and it was no good to run so far, so he wanted to play the scoundrel again, "Do you have to go? ”

"Your Excellency, do you want to refuse to be called!" said Master Romón, who was shocked, for everyone knew what it meant to do so in a world where subordination was so important.

"Don't say it so badly! I'm just saving His Excellency the Duke some trouble, wouldn't it be nice to arrange a few fewer mouths to eat. Only Stannis still didn't understand, "Besides, does it matter! I'm an inconsequential little character anyway, and no one will find out if I don't go." ”

The old man said with a solemn expression: "Your Excellency, you know what it means for you to do this!' If a vassal is not loyal to his lord, it is regarded as a rebellion', and you are going to be an enemy of the people in the entire Duchy of Stanley. ”

The lord was instantly frightened stupid, he didn't expect to talk about the basic law in the war, although he looked at it as if he was going to join in the fun, but he didn't think that the end would be so serious, I was afraid that it would not be leveled by others tomorrow.

"Just kidding, liven up the atmosphere, don't be so serious, how can a great man like me who is loyal and patriotic to defend the country as his own responsibility?" he changed his tone in an instant.

Master Romon nodded, he picked up the pen and prepared to write it in the brown book, "So, Your Excellency, who are you going to let lead the army this time?"

Korodov took a step forward and loosened his neckline proudly, every time the duke issued an edict, the count sent him to take a group of peasants to war, strictly speaking, more like a laborer, because these peasant uncles would only dig trenches and dig tunnels.

"No, I'm leading the team myself this time. Stannis said categorically.

Everyone looked at him in amazement, because they knew that he hadn't been on the battlefield for a long time, at least a year.

"What's the matter, is it strange for the lord to go to battle?" He also sensed that something was wrong with their surprised eyes.

"Of course not, Your Excellency, but why did you suddenly decide to go to war? You are the last direct descendant of this family, and if you are not careful, it will be very ......" Maester Romon did not continue.
