A week before Chinese New Year's Eve, Stennis received a big gift.

Somewhat unexpectedly that morning, Lady Romon received a letter from Hillier, expressing his willingness to integrate his army into the battle sequence of Stennis and put him under the unified command of Stennis in battle.

"How does this pie-in-the-sky thing feel so unreal?" said Stannis, pulling his face and putting the letter under the sun to see if it had been forged.

With Hillier as an example, Doug and the Bafolou family also wrote letters expressing their willingness to form an Eastern Alliance.

Stannis was overjoyed, and he was worried that he didn't have enough men to form a second legion.

Now with the addition of more than 200 new troops, Stannis has 500 soldiers in his hands, and he has transferred a group of backbones from the thunder to form a new 'Watcher' legion with the new recruits and the soldiers of the other three families, appointing Hillier as the commander, Barrow I as the deputy commander and captain of the infantry, and Randall as the deputy commander and captain of the archers.

However, when it came time to form a new legion, Stannis had an eye on it, and he transferred half of the three families to his Thunder Legion, so that his direct legion was 300 people, and the watchmen only had 200 people, although he didn't want this, but because of Hillier's special status as his fiancée, he still had to minimize the risk of rebellion, for them who were just starting out, the consequences of any civil war would be devastating.

Hillier did not express any objection to this division method, Stannis was ready to build a new barracks at the junction of the four families, that is, the Three Forks River Beach, but because it was the depths of winter, this project could only be carried out in the spring of next year, and the guilty Stennis took the initiative to bear all the costs of building the barracks, which moved the boss of Randall, and the boss chased after him and shouted.

After gaining joint command of the Alliance, Stannis realized that he was the second most powerful military force in the East, with the 1,200 soldiers of his father-in-law, the Floyers, who were the most powerful, even in the south.

Naturally, Stannis set his sights on the south, a family that was plagued by civil strife, and if he could occupy or ally with them, he would not only be able to obtain a large number of fine horses, but also completely control the middle section of the Bo River, including the main trunk and tributaries, would be under his control.

But how can you control the Hoth family? You must know that although the three sons of the White Horse family are on the verge of civil war, if there is an invasion from outside forces, no matter how much they hate each other, they will unite against foreign enemies. And unlike their allies, a small family that no one cares about, the Hoth family has been entrenched in the grassland for more than 500 years, and it has long been entrenched, plus they have a friendship relationship with the Garcia family, if they move themselves, they will definitely attract the duke's vigilance, and then the army will press the border, and there will be a burst of chaos, and it will be completely reimbursed.

If he can marry the daughter of the Hoth family, there is no doubt that he will be able to gnaw a piece of territory as a dowry, but thinking of his 'reputation' in this regard, Stannis feels that the other party should not marry his daughter to him.

Since he can't do it himself, he has to adopt the curve system, after all, a knight with two legs is really easy to find, for example, now there is one in his castle that can be taken out at once.

"Radish ~~" Stannis floated into the kitchen, calling out his best friend in the gentlest tone.

Robert, who was eating breakfast, trembled reflexively, and he knew what was often behind this tone.

"Boss, I only ate your two muffins today, and I didn't even bother to apply honey, please don't say that I eat and drink for nothing and hit my self-confidence!"

Stannis wrapped his arms around him like a snake to make sure that the little brother couldn't escape, and then said in a gentle voice with his coaxing Anya: "What do you say, my good brother! I am your home here, not to mention eating a few pancakes, even if you take the money in the treasury and spend it as you like, I will say a word." ”

Robert looked at the lord's face in surprise, not knowing that this traverser had the wrong tendon again.

"But, my radish, you're 20 years old and 3 this year, isn't it time to think about your life events?" Stannis looked at him with a kind smile.

And Robert, who was on the other side, couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sure enough, this matter is not simple, this guy is forcing himself to clean himself up!

However, Robert, who had already taken measures, smiled slightly and began to liven up the mud, "Boss, of course I also hope that a gentle woman will help me warm my bed every night, but I am just a frustrated knight, there is no fiefdom, and there is only one pair of underwear to change in, how can any noble lady look up to me!"

This guy feels really good about himself, but Stannis also understands the potential meaning of his words, if it weren't for the aristocracy, he Robert wouldn't be able to look down on him!

"You don't have to worry about this, the boss has already helped you find a family that is compatible with you and you to marry, she is the daughter of the Hoth family!"

But this sentence did not arouse Robert's excitement, but he sneered and let out a disdainful voice, "Huh! I know that the boss is playing me, where is there any daughter in the Hoth family who can marry?"

"No?" Stannis touched his head in embarrassment, he only knew that the old Earl of Hoth was a very famous sowing machine, and there were more than thirty sons and daughters combined, so there could not be a daughter of the right age to marry, right?

"Old man, you quickly check if the Chajos family has a daughter who can marry a turnip, it doesn't matter if the older one is ten or twenty years old!"

"I said the boss......"

Bachelor Romon opened the brown book and searched carefully, "The Horth family is older than Robert, and the younger ones have been booked, and there is one that no one has started, because she is only three years old, and so on, she has already made a marriage with Lesrodi's youngest son last month." ”

"......" Stannis didn't expect that women in the Western Continent were also so sought-after, and it seemed that his younger brother's desire to marry a nobleman was really a little difficult.

"But Your Excellency, the daughter of Baron Lambert, the eldest son of Count Hoss, has reached the age of twenty-eight, and is not yet engaged. ”

"It's stable, it's her, old man, you hurry up to propose, book, and hire I don't know what to say, in short, she is Robert's future wife. Stannis snapped his fingers and said urgently.

Robert was silent the whole time, and found that his life's events had been set by others, and he could only say that.

"Hey, hey, yes. ”
