Chapter 427: The North (3)
"Winter's footsteps were more hurried than expected, and although it broke free of my sight, it ...... There is no corner that the light cannot reach. Melisandre opened up her voice, she couldn't let Stannis keep throwing up, he was a little man with too much pressure and too much responsibility, and one wrong step could sink like this.
But...... Maybe he wasn't too strong in the first place? Melisandre was wandering in her heart, pondering some inopportune thoughts, and the light of the candle flame stingily shone on the face of the Lord of Light's sacrificial face, reflecting her originally somewhat cold pretty face a little charming.
Melisandre's cold and calm expression had always been Melisandre's patent, distant and noble, as distant as her identity under the red cloak, and at the same time a cover for desertion, no one could guess what she was thinking, her expression was always cold.
However, her voice is not as cold as her expression, but very warm, although it also has a hint of lofty aura and ethereal, but it is also mixed with a little charm, just like light and darkness are twins who are accompanied by each other, which makes people have a strange desire.
But other times, what Melisandre's voice looks like, I'll have to ask Stannis, as long as I don't mind being killed by the two of them.
It's just that Stannis was not in a good mood at this time, and his heart seemed to be suppressing a fire, and when he heard Melisandre's voice boiling oil pouring on the fire, he suddenly burst out, "Out of your control?" You didn't see our defeat, did you?! Are you going to reinterpret those signs?! ”
In addition to the sacrifice of the Lord of Light, which can unleash long-range precision strike magic for him, Melisandre's overall control over the future is the most important, part-time prophet and multiple important positions.
It's just that not long ago, in the next battle of King's Landing, most of Stannis's ships were destroyed in Blackwater Bay by wildfires, and Davos was lucky to pick up a life, leaving even half of his palm, but Melisandre did not see this scene, and did not see that Stannis's fleet would be wiped out in the wildfire in Blackwater Bay.
They lost the battle, and Cersei was greatly injured by not taking King's Landing, so Stannis put down his body and went to the Iron Vault to raise money and got the news of King's Landing Wizard along the way, because he really had no money.
The situation was very bad at that time, the lucky star of the Libra obsessive-compulsive Lord of Light was fire, and Stannis's fleet was destroyed in the wildfire, what is the difference between the fire of the Lord of Light and the wildfire It is estimated that those low-class civilians do not know, just like Stannis does not know what will be in the hearts of civilians after the war, religion is a terrible double-edged sword.
In the end, however, he chose Melisandre, retreating back into her nest and regaining her strength, reinvigorating herself once again under her guidance.
Traveling west to Essos, meeting the wizards of King's Landing and marching north, contacting the barbarians and northern nobles of all sizes in order to gather as many men as possible to prepare for another attack on King's Landing, the series of plans went smoothly until Melisandre once again missed something.
But this time she didn't actually blame Melisandre, she didn't miss it, because there are some things that shouldn't be stored in the long river of ice and fire, so Melisandre can't see it, she's just a little witch who can't fight the power of the world.
"Strange ghosts shouldn't have dragons, and it's impossible to control dragons, the dragon crystal of the real dragon is their nemesis, this doesn't make sense." In the face of Stannis's roar, Melisandre could only explain as much as she could.
She firmly believes that Stannis is the reincarnation of the hero chosen by the Lord of Light, Ahai, and is the only hope to save the long winter night, and she is the servant of the Lord of Light, and her life is given by the Lord of Light, and her only mission is to assist the hero in reincarnating to save the night.
So even if Stannis posed as forty-eight, she wouldn't resist, because if he did, it would be the will of the Lord of Light, just like the boss's son was teasing Xiaomi, and he wouldn't resist.
"I didn't see the real dragon in the Holy Flame, maybe I missed it, it was my mistake, the Holy Fire will not lie." Melisandre lowered her eyelids, unable to meet Stannis's eyes, she could choose not to cooperate with Stannis's fanatical Iron Throne hobby, after all, that was not the main task of the reincarnated hero, but her inability to resist the Wraiths was a mistake, they were the real enemies.
"You! ......" Stannis slapped the table angrily, his chest rising and falling, but he saw Melisandre with her head down and her charming face in the dim light, and the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated, "You ......" He choked on his next sentence for a long time, and finally shook his hand in a dejected manner, "Forget it......" he said.
Davos listened quietly to the half-quarrel and half-conversation between the two, and remained silent until Stannis and Melisandre were cold, and he had no intention of making a sound, and Stannis couldn't tell Melisandre's attitude to him, so he still didn't want to follow the fool.
Stannis's gaze fell on the map as if he saw something would be his, while Melisandre stared silently at the flames in the oil lamp, the only glimmer of flame in the dimly lit tent.
The silence of the three seemed to make the air uncirculating, and the flames flickered in the night wind, and awakened the pensive Stannis, "We are short on men......," he whispered, and in a moment his voice became hoarse, as if it had been burned by fire.
"The reservists can go to the top first, and then the poor and barbarians in this neighborhood can take their place in their chores." When asked about the military, Davos was still very vocal in his work, and his answers were very methodical.
"But that's not enough...... Stannis's brow furrowed, his own army knew that it was inevitable that there would be no army without money, but when he got a large amount of gold from the iron vault, he realized that sometimes the shortage of people was more terrible than gold coins, and this was the most troublesome thing.
There is no longer a population to be collected near his old nest Dragonstone Island, so he can only come out to look for it, but the trip to the north has not yet received a large number of nobles and manpower, and his poor army of fortune has been sprayed to death by the real dragon in one breath Hundreds of elites, which makes him calm.
After pondering for a moment, Stannis suddenly asked, "What about the slave ship, which was sent to Essos to be a prisoner of war for the wizard of King's Landing. ”R1152
