Chapter 81: The Brave Garland

He was floating down slowly, as if he had a pair of white wings, but the wings seemed to be struggling.

He didn't know if Camillo and the others had rushed out. When people are unlucky, even drinking water will get stuck in their teeth.

The white dragon was pulling Cole with all his strength. Horses are indeed unreliable, but dragons are reliable.

But this time, he was completely separated from the team, but he also got a new piece of news, that Renly was going to use ships to transport food.

He recalled the map, the location of the Lambun River, which flows through Highgarden and then to "Long Table Castle" and Green Valley City, and finally passes through the Royal Forest and joins the Wende River, and finally merges into Blackwater Bay.

No, the Highgarden fleet could not sail directly to the Royal Forest, the Wende River is shallow and difficult to sail. So they must stop the ship in the Green Valley City area, and then transfer to human and horse transportation.

Cole's size was still too much for the white dragon, but fortunately there were concave and convex rocks between the cliffs to land, so they first found a landing point, and then the white dragon took him down slowly and rested for a while. The cliff was indeed quite high, almost a sheer cliff.

Finally they returned to the flat ground, the white dragon continued to fly high, and Cole walked eastward.

A cavalry regrouped, but they found that a crucial person did not appear. For a moment, everyone's mind was extremely depressed. Only one person said a few words loudly, and then the cavalry followed him into the darkness. The pursuers behind were still pressing.

The sun rose and set several times, and a round of battle had just taken place under Storm's End. The enemy attacked the city at night. The heavy walls were like weeping fish beams, and the bloodstains that had not dried were dripping down.

Stannis personally supervised the battle all night and had just rested. But just after lying down for a while, he was awakened by a nightmare. It was a dead silent Storm's End, and everyone's face was gloomy, just like the gargoyles in Dragonstone. He saw the Proud Wind sinking to the bottom of the sea and the flag of Highgarden flying above the castle.

After waking up, the sweat had already soaked the young man. The fire in his room had gone out at some point. He stood up and suddenly felt a little cold.

At this time, a knock on the door happened to sound.

Adrian Celtigar walked into the room with old steps.

"Your Majesty, this will be bad news." He said to Stannis.

"So what happened, Sir?"

"Cole Julius seems to have surrendered to your brother Renly." Lord Celtigar pondered for a moment, "Now the child of the Bal Ammon family is being tied up under the city wall by them."

With the weak light, Celtigar could see that Stannis's face was not very good. He continued, "This news has a great impact on our morale. That kid is almost said to be a savior by people."

"Well, I already know. Savior is just some foolish words, just like the stories told by the bards." He acted calmly.

Celtigar thought silently in his heart, but you are also the savior in the mouths of those queens, your majesty.

After Celtigar left, Stannis called out to the door, "Davon."

The servant walked in from outside, "Your Majesty, what do you want?"

"Go and call Melisandre, and ask the servants to light the stove." Stannis said to him.

The servant Dale took the order and went out.

When the fire in the bedroom was lit, a red-robed figure came in and greeted him personally, "Your Majesty."

Stannis sat in front of the chair, "Just now Celtigar brought me a message. The old man is always depressed. Although he didn't ask me to surrender, I know that he doesn't think I can win."

"Your Majesty, what are you worried about?" Melisandre came over.

"Do you know who is shouting under the castle now? I heard that Ser Julius, whom you predicted, has been killed by Renly's knights. I asked the archers to shoot arrows, but the more I did so, the more they thought I was afraid. He was praised as a savior, which was a serious blow to our morale.

"You predicted that he was the one who killed Renly, but now we don't even know whether he is dead or alive."

Melisandre stood by the stove, "This news comes from the enemy, do you believe it?"

"My patience is enough, my lady. If your Lord of Light doesn't show up again, I will do it my own way. If we continue to waste time here, the only one who will benefit will be the kid sitting on the Iron Throne." Stannis stared at the back of the red-robed woman.

She turned her skirt slightly and turned around slowly, "Your Majesty, Renly's death is approaching. "

With a puff, the red robe actually fell down.

In the camp full of flags and tents, the wind blew the golden-bottomed stag flag in front of the tent, the merchants, prostitutes and grooms, the patrolling cavalry, and the spearmen. There was also a knight riding on a warhorse, wearing a helmet and looking majestic.

A knight in dark green armor, with a helmet around his waist, came to the main tent in the middle camp.

In the main tent, he saw his brother-in-law, King Renly Baratheon.

His younger brother Loras followed closely beside the king, and of course his sister Margaery Tyrell.

"Your Majesty." Garlan knelt in front of Renly and saluted.

Renly pulled him up with a smile on his face, "Thank you for your hard work, Ser Garlan, you have made a great contribution."

"Second brother, they all say that you personally knocked Ser Julius off his horse. "Little Rose Margaret has a beautiful smile and sweet dimples on her cheeks.

Compared to his sister "Rose of Highgarden" and his brother "Knight of Flowers", Garlan only has the nickname "Garlan the Brave" given by his elder brother. His reputation in the Seven Kingdoms is not as prominent as his younger brother. He has never liked to participate in those so-called honor tournaments.

He shook his head, "He fell off his horse by himself."

"I think he was also frightened by your momentum." Renly said with a smile, "I have to think carefully now, whether to wait for Ser Barristan or let you be my last Rainbow Guard."

"Ser Barristan Selmy is the bravest man in the Seven Kingdoms, Your Majesty." Garlan didn't want to be a Kingsguard.

"It is said that the knights of Highgarden are brave and honorable. Loras and you have proved this."

"Garlan, if it weren't for protecting Your Majesty, I would have gone there myself." Loras said.

Garlan couldn't help but think of the person who jumped off the cliff that night. He sent people to look for him, but he didn't find the body.

But it should be impossible to survive after falling from such a high cliff. But when he thought of what he said, he felt strange again.

Renly prepared a banquet to welcome Garland.

The knights and nobles drank more and ate pork sausage and bacon, steak and onions.

Garland frowned slightly, not because he was dissatisfied with the banquet. But he thought that their army's food crisis had not been resolved yet, so it was a waste of time to have such a feast.
