"Call in those I need, and I have something to say to them. ”

After Stanis gave the order, the other three walked outside, and before leaving the door, Stanis called out to Master Romone.

"Wait a minute, old man. ”

The Bachelor respectfully stopped, while the other two continued to walk out.

"What's the matter, Your Excellency?"

"What do you know about the Kuroshio?"

Maester Romon was surprised, for Stannis had never been interested in such a thing before, "Your Excellency, you don't really believe everything Miss Lucia says, do you?"

Stannis sensed the confusion in the other party's eyes, so he said quietly: "Seeing that she is so serious, I also want to know a little more." ”

The scholar sighed, but he was still serious, after all, the duty of the scholar was to answer all the questions of the lord, "'Kuroshio' means 'dead tide' in the Illisis language, and it is said that it will erupt once in five thousand years, and the former rulers hidden in the earth will squeeze their corrupting black pus out of the cracks in the ground and wash the earth, destroying all living things, but most scholars believe that this is just a rumor made up by the people of Middle-earth to lull children to sleep. ”

It turned out to be just a rumor, and Stannis was relieved.

"However," Lady Romon said, "there are also a small number of scholars who believe that the Kuroshio really exists, because this can explain why the 'Mithril Dynasty', which was once flourishing among the dwarves, suddenly declined, and the 'God of War Kingdom', which the orcs almost conquered the world, collapsed directly, and these are the consequences of the outbreak of the dry tide." ”

Stannis gasped, but he couldn't focus on the ethereal end now, and if he didn't solve the refugee incident, his end would come sooner.

Do you want to fight that gang of bandits for Lucia?

This combination of benefits and risks made Stannis hesitate, and although it was tempting to successfully accept Lucia and the more than 200 people she had brought with her, it was a great challenge for him to face more than 100 strong bandits.

So when he couldn't make a decision, he used the excellent method of the people's dictatorship - a show of hands.

In front of him was again filled with his staff.

"What is it that called you over this time...... It's to vote to see if I can help Lucia, I'm a democratic person, so everyone's vote counts. ”

He pulled a total of eight people, seven long-term staff members plus a chef, counting him exactly nine, so that there would not be a tie in the votes.

Robert was the first to jump out and expound his point of view, "What are you fighting! I have inquired about these bandits, they belong to the faction of the 'blood and bones' Pahlavi in the Bone Wasteland, and that Pahlavi king is very powerful! It is said that there are more than 40 bandits and more than 6,000 people under his command, and the imperial army has fought several times in vain, so we should not join this excitement to be heroes." ”

A few people nodded, it was indeed too risky to rush into war with that gang of bandits just for the sake of these refugees.

But Master Romon disagreed, "Your Excellency, this is a great time for you to establish a name for benevolence, if you want to gain a foothold in troubled times, generosity and love for the people is your foundation!"

As pedantic as it sounds, Stannis understands that a lord who is capable of defending the commoners under his rule can add a lot of points in this era of human life.

"Let's vote!" the lord, who still couldn't make up his mind, took out a stack of papyrus and distributed it to everyone, "Tick those who agree to war, cross those who disagree, this time it is a secret ballot, so feel free to express your thoughts." ”

Soon, eight marked pieces of paper were placed in front of him, and Stannis looked at them, and found that the number of votes for agreeing to go to war was the same as for disagreeing, which was very difficult, because after a circle, the decision fell to him again.

Stannis let out a long sigh, although he knew that if this battle was not successful, he would be ruined by life and death, but when he thought of the scrawny refugees, the old men who did not cover their bodies, the mothers who did not even have milk, and the eyes of the children who were looking forward to stability, he had to say, "Then go back and prepare, I have decided to do a big job." ”

Although the mobilization order was given in the morning, the soldiers in the barracks were already prepared in the afternoon, and the forty archers each carried a purple bow on their backs, still without armor or amulets, half of them had participated in the last battle with the Duchy of Savoy, and the 'veterans' boasted to the recruits who had not yet seen blood how heroic they were at that time.

Maester Romon took Korodov to prepare the food to be consumed for the expedition, while the others had something to do.

"Thank you. Lucia appeared in front of him, and though she had only said that, Stannis already knew how grateful she was.

Stannis strapped the 'Broken Knee' hammer to the saddle and smiled, "It's too early to say thank you, and if I lose, I can't guarantee that I'll hand you over." ”

Lucia knew he was joking, and laughed at this tense moment, "Is there anything I and my people can help with?"

Stannis had wanted her to gather dozens of soldiers, but seeing that the gang was too weak to even stand on their feet, she abandoned the plan.

"No need, you just need to recuperate here in peace, and I'll take care of the rest. ”

At this time, Robert didn't know where to come from, he said to the lord with a treacherous smile: "Boss, do you want to leave me to watch the family this time, in case, I said that in case you are defeated and unfortunately disappear from the battlefield, there must be someone abbot of the overall situation!"

"You guy's thinking too beautiful!" Stannis glared at him, and then announced loudly, "This is my first time fighting independently, so all the people in the castle have to fight for me, and if I hang, I will have to take you all to the funeral!"

Robert, who had failed in his plans, was disappointed and muttered away.

Lucia on the side was a little surprised.

"You are a lord and you also go into battle in person?" In Middle-earth, the only situation for nobles to go to the battlefield is when they are sure to win, and they can use this to reap all their military merits, and then rely on this gilded back to the High King Dragon Court to mix with high-ranking officials.

Stannis didn't feel anything wrong, "Of course, it's best to be a leader in me." ”

While the others were busy carrying equipment and food, two of Stennis officers' most experienced officers were standing in front of Speer's map and discussing something, although they had not known each other for a long time, Kanye and Batesmore admired each other very much.
