Stannis's voice was like a blade, sarcastic: "Vassal, Davos, stand at the window and look out, what do you see? stones, fishing villages, and seawater, what else is there on Dragonstone?"

Davos said, "My lord, you are now the heir to the king of the previous king's decree, and all the vassals of Storm's Rest and all the vassals of Storm's Rest are yours. ”

"You're wrong, Sir, the vassals of Storm's Breath are only loyal to the Blue Rites. ”

"My lord, you have the decree of King Robert first, and Lan Li is your subordinate vassal. ”

"If you don't enter the Red Keep and sit on the Iron Throne for a day, Lan Li won't recognize me as his king for a day. I know this brother of mine as well as I know my brother Robert. At that time, Robert took most of the troops from Storm's End, leaving only my city reserves and children, and I held Storm's End for him for a year, dragging Mace Tyrelll's army of tens of thousands, as well as Redwin's mighty warship. ”

"After the war, Robert thanked Eddard Stark, who led the army to relieve the siege, not me. Moreover, after he became king, I should have succeeded Storm's End, but he gave Storm's Rest to Ranri Baratheon, who was still a child. ”

It was so hurtful that Davos had to remain silent.

Whether it was from the law or from the military exploits, Lan Li, who was still a child at the time, was not qualified to inherit the Wind Rest Castle of the Baratheon family.

Stannis is an unlikable man, he never laughs, his words are like knives, he is upright, loyal, and resolute, and his stubborn words and deeds and harsh expression make everyone very uncomfortable. And Lan Li, his likable charm has been reflected since he was a child, and Lan Li, who grew up, is very loved no matter where he goes, and regardless of class.

"I held Storm's End, after Eddard Stark led his army to break the siege. I was ordered to build warships to attack Dragonstone. As soon as the battleship was built, William Dary and four guards on Dragonstone Island had fled to Braavos with Viserys and the newborn baby without telling the acting lord of Dragonstone. I then led my army to Dragonstone, and instead of thanking me, Robert scolded me for not catching the two Targaryen sins. This is my brother Robert, I know him, and I know Lan Li. ”

William Dary, the head of the Red Keep and the master of Prince Rhaeggar, taught him how to ride a horse and wield a sword and a spear. He took Viserys and Daenerys with him before the Acting Lord of Dragonstone rebelled.

"My lord, that's in the past. Now that King Robert has died, he has passed the throne to you, not Lan Li. ”

"That's not what Robert intended, Davos. Robert had this decision for only one reason, and that was because Eddard Stark had changed him. So now is not the time to summon any vassals, but to sneak to King's Landing, before Joffrey returns to King's Landing, to join forces with Eddard Starcree and take the Red Keep, I only need to be the first step to claim the throne, and the big thing will be decided, otherwise something will change. ”

"Your Excellency, how many people are you going to take to King's Landing?"

"Three hundred troops are enough. ”

"The Lannisters have more than three hundred troops in King's Landing, and many loyal courtiers. ”

"Eddard Stark has appointed Berry Dondelion as the new commander of the capital garrison, so in Joffrey's absence, Eddard Stark will be able to control the situation for the time being, but once Joffrey arrives in King's Landing first, he will ascend the throne as king. ”

"My lord, three hundred people is too risky. Summoning all the vassals under Lanli and Storm's Rest Castle to go hand in hand with the Dragonstone Navy, so that nothing goes wrong. ”

"How much time will it take? a month, two months, or three months?" Stannis said flatly, "I can't wait even three days, so go and gather the three thousand defenders of Dragonstone at once, select three hundred warriors from among them, and don't tell them anything, and we'll set out secretly tonight." ”

Stannis made up his mind, and he didn't change it.

"Yes, sir. Davos turned and walked out.

Dragonstone Island has a long history and is impregnable, but there are only a few minor nobles under its banner, and the outer island territory under their jurisdiction is rocky and rugged, sparsely populated, and 3,000 troops are already the limit of Dragonstone.

If he had enough time, Davos could hire 20,000 mercenaries and more than a dozen warships from the free trade city-states of Mill and Reese on the other side of the Narrow Sea. According to Davos's plan, the vassals of the Storm's Rest Castle should be summoned first, and as long as Lan Li surrendered, he could quickly gain 50,000 troops. (In the original book, Lan Li was called the king and raised 100,000 troops)

"Look, you're here. A voice as sharp as a whip, high-pitched and piercing.

Stannis frowned, a sign of his impending seizure, "I didn't call you in, ma'am. ”

When Stannis was alone thinking about things, he didn't like anyone to come in and disturb him, with the exception of one person, and that was the Christianian Fellowship who had brought him up in Storm's End.

Madame Celis Florent walked in as tall as her husband Stannis, with a slender figure like a razor fish. The face is pointed and the ears are so prominent that they look too pointed, which is a characteristic appearance characteristic of the Florentine family.

The contours of her nose were as sharp as those cut out of a sword, and her upper lip was covered with a light layer of black hair, like the fluff of a mature teenager's lips. It's a nuisance, and the first thing she does every morning is to pull the hair off her upper lip. But after one night, the hair grows again, and as long as it is not pulled out for two days, it will become a blue and black short beard, which is very obvious.

Her eyes were light gray, her mouth was as grim and thin as a knife like Stannis's, and her voice was sharp and crackling, as if she had been in some strange euphoria.

"Stannis, I see you in the Picture Table Hall through the flames, and I see your bright future in the flames. Rahlo, the Lord of Light, sees all the truth, and as long as you follow the will of Allah in heaven, you are the king of the seven kingdoms. ”

Stannis noticed the newly embroidered flaming heart on Madame's chest, and she was speaking of Allah in the sky, not the gods. Obviously, she completely abandoned the old and new gods of the Seven Kingdoms and instead believed in the gods of the 'Lord of Light' of the red-robed woman.

A few months ago, a merchant ship arrived on Dragonstone, and a red-robed woman who claimed to be the priestess of the 'Lord of Light' preached and prophesied good fortune and misfortune through fire, and soon became her follower and close friend. To this day, the placket of Selic's dress is finally embroidered with a flaming red heart.

"Keep your Allah's will for yourself." Stannis said coldly, although he did not drive away the red-robed woman, he did not like Protestantism.

"Stannis, it's often sad and frustrating to tell the truth, you went to King's Landing with three hundred troops this time, and if you can't take the throne, you will be in a black prison under the Red Keep. Cylise said sharply.

Stannis was shocked.

His plan was known only to him and Sir Davos. Even the three hundred carefully selected soldiers will not be informed of the mission.

He did have a shadow in his heart about going to King's Landing, that is, if Robert wanted to pass on the throne to his brother before his death, he would definitely not pass it on to him, but would pass it on to Lan Li, just like Robert gave Lan Li the title of Storm's End to Lan Li, who was still a child. Robert liked Lan Li more than him.

It's just that Eddard Stark is a duke whose law and honor are above all else.

The integrity of the people of the North is unquestionable.

"Oh, since your flames can see everything, then, call the red-robed woman in, let her burn the flames and show me the truth, and if I don't see anything, I'm sorry, Celis, I'll cut out her tongue and put her in a dungeon. When I sit on the Iron Throne in King's Landing, I will banish her from Westeros. ”

"As you wished, Stannis, you're finally willing to meet Melisandre once. I'm glad you took the first step. Stannis, you will soon understand that only the 'Lord of Light' is the only true God. ”

Melisandre, a sorceress who claims to be from the very distant Asha, the Shadowbinder of Asha, and the priestess of Rahlo, the Lord of Light.

Laherlo, Melisandre's known Heart of the Flame, Lord of Light, is the god of shadows and fire.
