Stannis walked over, "What are you discussing?" he asked curiously.

Kanye, the former captain of the garrison of Fallen Silver City, surveyed the distance on the map with two fingers, then raised his head and said, "I calculated with Betsmore, and based on the information we received before, we expect that the bandits will appear here tomorrow at noon or afternoon. ”

As he spoke, he pointed his finger at the junction of forests and grasslands on the map.

Stannis knew where, it was the exit of a road to the northeast and the only entrance into the Black Forest.

"Is there any problem?" Stannis asked curiously, his assumption of meeting the enemy at the borders of his realm, which would mean another thirty miles of progress.

Bates Moore explained, "Kanye's idea and I were to meet the enemy at the junction of the forest and steppe, so that if they had cavalry, they would not be able to cross the forest to surround us, and if we were unfortunately defeated, we could retreat calmly under the cover of the forest, because we were much more familiar with the forest than the enemy." ”

In just a few words, Stannis suddenly became enlightened, worthy of being a person who had led soldiers to fight, and he didn't know how high the layout of the battlefield was better than his outside.

Openness and humility are necessary conditions for becoming a good monarch, and of course Stannis also hopes that he can do it, so he immediately approved the proposal of these two people, "Okay, as you said, it is estimated that you can arrive in the evening from the castle from the castle now, you should prepare immediately, and we will set off immediately!"

Soon, Stennis was ready for his troops, and he took almost all of his men with him except for 40 soldiers, leaving Bachelor Romon waving goodbye to them.

"First team, follow me!" Kanye waved his hand forward, and the soldiers marched forward in two columns, many fathers and mothers who had just received the news came to see off their sons, but no one cried.

There is only a suffocating silence here, except for the sound of neat footsteps.

Riding on his horse, Stanis watched quietly, knowing that if he won this victory, he would truly begin his journey to the Duke.

The first rays of the morning sun hit Stannis's face, and he opened his eyes slightly to wrap the blanket around him a little tighter, it was already late autumn, and the temperature had dropped to an excruciatingly low before the sun rose, and the bonfire in the center had almost been extinguished.

Last night there was a fierce noise that made him very unhappy, it seemed that someone was calling for help, but he was quickly rescued, and he didn't bother to open his eyes to find out what was going on.

Now, the groggy lord wanted to close his eyes and sleep for a while, but the sound of rustling in his ears made him fall asleep in the same way, so he couldn't sleep, so he had to get up, and all over the place the people he brought were sleeping together, and Robert was clinging to Chef Cook's chest with a sweet smile on his face.

Stannis shook his head, the guys were too unsightly, and then he walked in the direction from which the sound came from, which he was sure was coming from in the forest behind him.

The cold feeling of the morning dew dripping from the leaves on Stannis's face seemed to sink to his bones, and at last he came to the source of the sound, a silent pool.

A young man and a girl were facing away from him.

One of the boys was scooping the icy water of the lake and washing the glittering sword, while next to him, a girl slightly older than him was sitting with her chin propped up and watching him quietly.

"In the future, I will make a name for myself with this sword, just like my father!" the boy's voice was still a little immature.

The girl touched his head, "You little thing always has such a big mouth! But I trust you, Stan." ”

'Smack'

Stannis inadvertently trampled off a wooden branch as he tried to walk over, and the two teenagers turned their heads when they heard his voice.

One of them was undoubtedly Stannis as a child, while the other was ......

She didn't even have facial features on her face!

"Ha, ha, what a fantasy world!" Stannis fainted.

I don't know how long it took.

"Boss, boss, wake up!" Stannis felt a hot pain in his face, and he struggled to open his eyes, only to find that it was Robert who was slapping his face with a bow left and right.

"What are you doing again!" he scolded, feeling his face slapped like a pig's head.

Robert hurriedly withdrew his hand and said anxiously: "I can't help it, I just kept shouting that you refused to wake up, so I had to use this method?"

What was it that I was dreaming just now? Stannis got up with a grunt and found himself on the edge of the lake he had just seen, but it was empty.

"Your Excellency, are you alright?" asked Maester Romon cautiously.

The lord didn't answer him, he made sure several times that he remembered clearly that he had walked into the forest, and then saw the young Stannis and a faceless girl, but all this was ......

Master Romon looked at him, then at the lake, and suddenly thought of something, "Your Excellency, didn't you often come here to wash your sword when you were a child, did it evoke memories of the past years?"

Sure enough, this place seemed familiar, Stannis thought that he had come here by sleepwalking, maybe the dragon's spell was starting to work, he was recovering the memories of what had happened, but how could his body move uncontrollably?

"Why are you looking for me in such a hurry? I'm just like I'm going to sleep. Once again, Stennis covered up the past.

Robert's eyes widened and he shouted, "What time is it, still make up for sleep, the sentry is back, he said that the bandits will arrive at us in half a day, everyone is waiting for your order!"

The sentry was Kanye, and he was very short of manpower, so he could only say that this ranger was sent out to sentry.

"Damn! I can't leave for a second, and what are you going to do if I'm gone!" Stannis grumbled, but he walked out of the forest, but halfway through, he felt like someone else wasn't supposed to exist.

That's Master Lomon, he's supposed to be looking after his family in the territory!

"Old man, why did you come out again! Didn't I let you stay in the castle!"

The old man stroked his beard embarrassedly, "Because the duty of a bachelor is to record the history of everything that has happened! Also, don't you worry about you......

"Come here and make a mess for me!" Although he scolded like this, Stennis was still warm in his heart.
