Chapter 85 Davos (Part 2)

He loved using fire too much, even on the water.

The cavalry attracted the enemy's attention on the Rose Road upstream. In order to transport the food this time, Renly even sent all the troops stationed in Bitterbridge to the upper reaches of the Ramboon River. They cut down trees and built camps and ports.

Davos originally thought that their target would be this military camp, but Cole focused on the birthplace of the fleet. They seized the ships, blocked the river, and headed towards Highgarden.

This section of the Lamboon River is covered with ships. Large merchant ships that can sail on the sea, and small boats used for fishing, all docked on the river bank, and they are connected in a row as far as the eye can see.

The boat burning with blazing fire rushed directly to the river bank. In an instant, the entire river bank was ignited, and the flames even reached the camp on the bank. This fire made people panic.

They drove across the river and rushed directly to the camp. The originally tightly guarded camp was already in chaos. They didn't even waste much effort to capture it.

He burned Renly's provisions again, and Davos looked at the young man standing on the plank of the ship.

At this time, it had retreated to the sea, and it did not even encounter a few attacks during this period.

The strong sea breeze blew the broken hair in front of his forehead, and he leaned alone against the railing of the boat. He seemed to really enjoy looking at the sea in the distance, watching the waves rise and fall, and watching the seabirds gliding.

"Sir Davos, it's not very polite to secretly look at others behind your back." He turned around, holding half of rye bread in his hand.

Davos walked aside. It turned out that he was not looking at the sea, but feeding the fish.

"Look, what a nice nest we made." He pointed to the sea.

"Make a nest?"

"Oh, it means using bait to attract fish. Before fishing, put bait at the fishing spot."

"Building nests for fish is a good way of saying it. But if you want to catch big fish, you can't catch them with rye bread."

"When I was young, I once heard that someone saw a mermaid on East Bay, so I thought about fishing with the handle of a fishing rod. Sir, have you ever seen a mermaid in your sailing business for so long?"

Davos found that the naval commander seemed to be very interested in some legends. From the dragons in Summer Hall to the mermaids now, he would not be surprised even if he talked about the White Walkers. "So, sir, are you fishing for mermaids?"

Cole raised the bread in his hand and couldn't help but smile, "If the mermaid also eats rye bread, then so be it."

He threw the bread directly into the sea, "Where are we already?"

"We have sailed away from the Dorne Sea. The island we just passed is Ismond Island. This is the territory of the Ismond family. They are now fighting for Duke Renly. I heard that the master of the family is a timid and cautious person."

"Soon, they will turn to support His Majesty and fight for the Lord of Light."

But Davos thought that the enemy had not yet been defeated, and those adults with noble births and superior status simply ignored him when he brought the king's oral instructions. He was rejected by many castles.

If Stannis is defeated, will he surrender to his enemies? No, everything he had was given to him by Stannis.

The boat moved forward, and a white figure followed behind it. He dived into the water with a hiss, and soon he picked up a fish. He threw the fish up with a swing, and then breathed out flames and roasted the fish until it was black. , and swallowed the fish into his mouth.

The ship sailed all the way to Broken Ship Bay.

Stannis personally greeted them on the wall, and also held a great meeting, summoning all the knight lords to the hall of Storm's End.

Davos saw that Count Velaryon and Count Celtigar had impatient expressions.

Their council was only half-open, and soon the siege horn sounded.

The knights in charge of the city defense quickly left the council, and the remaining nobles followed the king to the tower. The central tower of Storm's End was towering. Generally, the king would supervise the battle again, and the situation on the city wall could be seen at a glance.

I saw Renly's army appearing densely under the city wall like a wave.

Countless banners swayed, the crowned stag, the golden rose of Highgarden, the red and gold fox surrounded by blue and white stones, the walking hunter in red on green.

From the city wall, I could only feel that there were more than just people underneath, and even the color of the ground was temporarily obscured by the crowd.

"They are going to attack the city with their entire army." Earl Settiga's words were trembling.

I saw Stannis also looking solemn.

Davos was thinking that it seemed that without food and grass, they had no choice but to make a desperate move. He saw the catapult being pushed to the bottom of the city. Although the crossbows and archers on the wall were constantly firing, they were far out of reach of the equipment. .

I saw the catapult being loaded with stones, and with a raise of its wooden arm, stones from the sky hit the city wall.

A pit was created directly at the point where the stone landed, and countless stones fell, but the walls of Storm's End Castle were thick enough.

Davos also noticed that Cole's expression was somewhat complicated.

The catapults continued to pound from morning to noon, and the soldiers retreated to the arrow towers and stairways, only shooting arrows from between the arrow stacks.

Occasionally, people holding shields walked back and forth between the city walls.

At noon, smoke rose from under the city wall.

"He wants to tell me, do they still have food?" Stannis said at that time.

Before the smoke cleared, I saw an envoy arriving under the city wall.

It was Allister Florent, lord of Brightwater, and Stannis's queen, Selyse Florent, was his niece. And now that such a person was sent to Storm's End, one didn't know what Renly's intention was.

The king received Count Allister in the tower chamber, and he made the first obeisance.

"Your Majesty Stannis, how are you doing these days?"

He was a thin old man, but his hair and beard were neatly trimmed. Davos was looking at this noble earl who came from the queen's family. In terms of blood, he should be closer to Stannis, but now he serves as Renly's envoy.

"Are you here on behalf of Renly?" the king asked directly.

Earl Allister showed a decent smile and said, "I come for honor, Your Majesty."

"Really? Then let your king tell you what advice he has."

"Your Majesty, you and Lord Renly are brothers. You are both blood relatives of King Robert."

"I said, I will not recognize him as a brother until he wears that rebellious crown, and I will never forgive him unless he is willing to take off that stupid thing," the king said. Be very decisive.

"Brothers shouldn't do this"

"I don't want to hear your jabbering words for fools, just tell Renly what he wants."

Lord Allister opened and closed his mouth, but not a single word came out. He took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Stannis.

The king opened the letter.

"Humph" He just looked at the letter and let out a cold snort. "Does he want to provoke me and make me go out of the city for a decisive battle?"

He threw the letter away and said, "I should really tie you to a catapult and throw you out of the city, but my wife is from the Florentine family. Go back and tell Renly that if you want a decisive battle, come to the sea, or he can climb up there himself." To Storm's End. He will pay for his repeated insults."
