Chapter 91 Persuasion

The fire was radiating, and the hammer clanked against a sword. Raj Schiff turned the sword with pliers and placed it on the iron felt, and continued to hammer.

After waiting for the sword form to take shape, he put down the hammer and took off his heavy fur gloves.

"Master Blacksmith, I hope you can help me forge two swords." This was Cole's customary title to Master Donal Noy on the Great Wall.

"Sir, you don't have to call me master, just call me Rakhi Shiv. Whether you need a half-hand sword or an armed sword, I am also good at a giant sword."

Standing in front of him was a young man with silver hair, a pair of plain leather clothes that did not match his identity, and a badly worn leather scabbard at his waist. The young man took out a half-hand sword made of fine steel and handed it to Rach Schiff.

"This type is good."

Lucky Schiff took the sword and rubbed the blade on his fingertips. It was a good sword, not a standard product. Such a sword could probably be sold for hundreds of silver stags in the market in Westeros. However, there is still a certain gap compared with the top swords.

The blacksmith touched his beard and said, "It takes a lot of time to build such a sword. His Majesty the King's demand for weapons is too great. It is difficult for me to spare my energy. If you are willing to wait, I can prepare the materials for you now." But I’ll probably have to wait a few weeks to get the sword.”

"Of course, I'm sorry to bother you, but I wonder if you have a finished sword."

Rach Schiff brought some swords, and Cole picked out two half-swords and a weapon sword.

Although the two half-hand swords are different in style, they are of the same length. They are relatively long swords, which are just right for his height. This kind of sword will work better with a shield, and is both offensive and defensive. Although the lethality is not as strong as the two-handed giant sword, But breaking the armor is enough.

In fact, it would be better for Cole to use a sword that is longer and wider than the half-hand sword. For example, in his "Winter Night", that sword is placed between the half-hand sword and the giant sword.

The armed sword is also called the knight's sword. It is a simple one-handed sword. Its hilt can be held in one hand, and its length is shorter than that of a half-hand sword. Cole chose a shorter one. sword. He thought that this kind of sword was perfect for daily self-defense, and it was inconvenient to always carry two long swords.

As soon as he walked out of the blacksmith's door, he ran into someone Cole didn't really want to see.

Montford Velaryon.

"Sir Julius." This time he actually greeted Cole.

"Ser Velaryon."

The two nodded and passed each other. Cole walked straight away, but Montford Velaryon stopped and stood there to look.

Cole returned to the castle, took off his clothes, and wrapped a few straps inside. Although they were all minor injuries, he still asked Bachelor Pylos to help him deal with them.

He picked up a book and lay down on the bed to rest. After a while, there was a knock on the door. Cole had the habit of locking the door, so he shouted, stood up and opened the door. Outside the door was the king's attendant Daifeng.

Cole was now like a lone knight. He didn't even have a servant, not to mention a squire, and he fought alone when he went to the battlefield.

"Sir Julius, His Majesty the King is holding a war meeting in the Great Hall to discuss the next strategy for attacking King's Landing." He brought the king's order.

"Okay, I already know."

It seemed that the king could not wait to march to King's Landing. After Davon left, Cole quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the castle.

There was a knock on the concierge.

Davos Seaworth happens to be inside.

Although there is a slight age difference between the two, it does not prevent them from becoming friends. At least compared to other nobles, Onion Knight can talk to him.

"The king is holding a war meeting tonight." Cole said after sitting down. "According to the king's wishes, we must attack King's Landing."

The Onion Knight heard some worry in his words, "Earl Velaryon suggested that we attack King's Landing directly. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Cole nodded, "Sir Davos, let me tell you directly, I don't think we can capture King's Landing."

Davos fell into deep thought, "His Majesty will not accept this suggestion. He is very determined to attack King's Landing. But as far as I know, there should not be many defenders in King's Landing."

"Our enemies are not just from King's Landing."

"You mean Tywin Lannister?"

"It's not just the Lannister either. Randyll Tarly has regrouped an army at Bitterbridge, and it's not even smaller than ours."

"You mean they will still be our enemies? But many adults have declared their allegiance to His Majesty, and His Majesty has also pardoned them."

Cole shook his head, "Do you think the Tyrell, Tully and Rowan families who loyally support Renly will turn to us? With the king's character, do you think he will really forgive these people who betrayed him?"

No, absolutely not. He knew Stannis, he was the most faithful believer in the Law, which was his god.

"These people who support the king now are not necessarily fools. They just have no choice. They can betray Renly and switch to His Majesty. When there is a better choice, they will betray again without hesitation."

A team that relies on loyalty and may not be able to avoid crimes in battle is not even as powerful as a hired army.

"Do you want to admonish His Majesty at the wartime meeting?" Davos asked, because he must stop this guy, he thought.

"No, I will not express any opinions on the Grand Council. But I hope you can go with me to see His Majesty the King after the meeting. I will also invite Maester Pylos at that time." He said. In the small meeting, it was the three of them who stayed away from the rear party.

Say this at the wartime meeting, not only did he lose face for the king, but he also offended the nobles of the entire Stormlands. He was not stupid enough to do this.

Davos sighed, "I should believe you. Your ability is known to the world, but I am just a mediocre person and a stupid person. With my background and wisdom, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the king."

"Just being there is enough, sir. We want Stannis to sit on the Iron Throne more than anyone else. Not only you, but everything I have is given by him."

Davos finally agreed to Cole's request. He was thinking that maybe Stannis would be willing to listen to his advice. They were all smarter and stronger than him.

After Cole left Stannis's room, someone came to him, but it turned out to be a patrol knight.

"My lord, there is a team from your family outside the castle." The knight said to him.

Cole was confused and puzzled, but he still followed the knight out of the castle.

Sure enough, he saw the flaming white bird flag outside the gatehouse.

The leader was not very tall. Cole looked closely and saw that it was Camilo who had been separated from him. It turned out to be them. No wonder they claimed to be from his family.

The knight standing in front of the army rode his horse towards him as soon as he saw him.
