After a day of traveling, Stannis and Anya returned to the south to an inconspicuous town, where there was Charlie, who he had sent to the south to contact the princes to rise up together, and they agreed to meet here, the old nobles had always looked down on the emerging Garcia family, and there used to be a ruthless and cunning southern guardian Snake to suppress them, and after the last Igoqi attack on the city of Ophia Hannah, the rebellious Earl Snake was beheaded, and those lords suddenly found that they no longer had the need to be loyal to the lord of the royal city, and then under the secret instigation of the prestigious Charlie, they simply raised troops to rebel again, drive away the puppet governor left by the Garcia family, and then gather a large army to attack the most important castle in the south, the city of Ophia Hannah, and Stannis promises them that whoever takes the city first will be the guardian of the south.

As soon as they heard Stannis's promise, the princes of the southern border, who were already very excited, attacked the fort day and night like crazy, but the thousand-year-old fortified city was not in vain, as long as there was no strategy, no one could attack her head-on, and at the same time, the principality also knew the meaning of Fort Ophia Hannah to them, once it fell, it meant that the duke would completely lose control of the southern border, so there was no loss. In order to protect the entire southern border of the city, Garcia's army rushed there to reinforce it, and for a while, the battle under the city was in full swing.

Both the South and the Duchy were tricked by Stannis, who deliberately used the city of Ophia Hanna as a bait to attract the attention of both sides. He used another trick that he does best - striking the east and the west.

Under his secret order, Charles had secretly contacted his cousin's old subordinates and the lords who were friendly with him, and secretly assembled an army that Stannis had conceived to attack the royal city, with only one condition, that is, the king of the east himself led them.

Now that they had secretly arrived at this frontier town on the border between the Duchy's territory and the southern border, the townspeople had long since abandoned their homes and fled to other places due to the war, so it was a perfect place to hide their troops.

When Stannis and Anya enter the ostensibly abandoned town through the sentinel's interrogation, they find that it has been transformed into a large military camp, and the abandoned houses and squares are filled with soldiers from the south, who have been waiting for them for days. When they saw that the King of the Eastern Realm really stepped into their midst, they all just heard that the King of Destiny who saved Rivendale and defeated the crusading army one after another was the reincarnation of the true dragon, and this time when they saw it, they found that this so-called king looked no different from them, and was not as eye-catching as the charming woman next to him.

Stannis felt that the eyes of these guys were too presumptuous, and he was about to let out a dragon roar to let them know that they could not touch the divine power, when a familiar voice in the distance called out to him: "Your Majesty, you are here!"

Stannis looked up and found that Charlie was walking briskly towards him, and before he could speak, his own captain of the guard began to perform a series of lengthy and solemn rituals, this complicated procedure really made the surrounding soldiers dumbfounded, although they didn't know what the meaning of this was, but a sense of ritual mystery came to their faces, so that they had to regain their respect for the king of the east.

Stannis knew that Charlie was the one who most sincerely hoped that he would be king, and of course Stannis understood and appreciated for his loyalty and hard work, but he also understood his intentions, he wanted to use his big tree to regain what should have belonged to him, such as becoming the guardian of the South.

But Stannis continued to play dumbfounded, and he raised his hand to signal that Charlie could stand up.

"Thank you. Stannis said enthusiastically.

"It's my duty. Charlie also showed neither humility nor arrogance.

"After a day of traveling, is there a place where we can rest?"

"Of course!" Charlie immediately led the way, and soon Stannis was in the most exclusive house that could be found in the town, the house of the mayor of the town, the house of the mayor of the town, although it was long emptied, but the furniture that was left behind showed that the former owner was still a little stylish.

Stannis settled Anya to rest first, he still has a lot of things to do.

After eating a few more pieces of bread in a hurry to satisfy his hunger, Stannis immediately met with the lords who had been summoned, and with Charlie's introduction, Stannis roughly wrote down the names and strengths of each lord.

However, at the end of the meeting, Stannis was very confused, but he did not want to ask on the spot, and only halfway through the 'handshake' did he give Charlie a look, and the two of them pretended to slip out of the scene one after the other.

"Your Majesty, what questions do you have?" asked Charlie, respectfully to Stannis, who had untied his belt.

Stannis, who started draining, asked a little angrily, "You tell me the truth, how many people came this time!"

Charlie didn't show fear in the face of the fiery king, he had long known that Stannis would be confused by this.

"Fifteen hundred people are fighting under your banner this time. ”

"What!" Stannis was so excited that he couldn't even break his pee, he knew there would be a small number of people, but he didn't expect it to be so small!

"Is there any mistake, I obviously asked you to piece together at least 3,000 troops for me to attack the royal city, how could the number of people be directly reduced by half!"

As long as the city defense officers are not dizzy, they will laugh all over the ground when they see such a few people attacking the city, as long as they rely on the tall walls to defend the city, Garcia's side can comfortably wait for reinforcements from other places to defend and then attack back and forth, repeating the tragedy of the rebels being defeated and slaughtered 30,000 under the city of Teist fifteen years ago.

Even if such a person can't even touch the city wall, he will be discovered by the county guards along the way and intercepted and killed halfway, which is really not even confusing if he wants to divide the army.

Stannis jumped angrily over there, but Charlie still seemed very calm, and seeing him like this made the lord even more angry and eager to cut him with a sword.

"You must give me an explanation!" Stannis shouted unreasonably.

"Because your offer of whoever takes Orphia Hannah Castle is the guardian of the South, which is too tempting, no one has responded to your call. ”

Stannis was speechless for a long time by his words, and he just wanted to make a full set of tricks and let those guys who refused to work hard have a snack, but he didn't expect that these lords had a heart to climb up, and they all swarmed to attack the castle.
