Chapter 605: Confrontation

The magic array on the city wall that swayed like an oil painting had already emitted bursts of red light, transforming from the original bright white to a dazzling blood red, like a burning flame, spreading out from the majestic walls of the Storm's Breath, dyeing most of the bright sky.

The originally clear sky became dark, as if dusk had arrived early, and the dark red sky was rendered with a layer of blood, making people feel deeply depressed.

The sea against the back also looked a little terrifying under this bright red, the originally clear sea water was dark red and hideous, the waves were rolling uneasily, setting off layers of turbulent waves, countless invisible sea creatures lurking under this wave.

This scene can be clearly seen even from dozens of kilometers away, such as the Tyrion brothers on the back of the dragon, who are curious to see that most of the sky is dyed red in Storm's End, but they don't know what happened.

The wyvern beneath him had reached its fastest speed, but it was still some time before it reached Storm's End.

The rough-skinned and thick-skinned flying dragon didn't feel anything after flying for a long time, but the two people on it were already shivering from the cold, and even their bodies were covered with frost, but these colds couldn't withstand the chill in Yi Huan's heart, the chill that appeared after he saw this magic array.

"This is ......" Yi Huan narrowed his eyes, his tone a little hesitant.

But at this time, a person appeared behind him, "What is this?" Lord Sean. "It's Daenerys' side, the former captain of the Kingsguard, Barristan, who has been ordered to find Yi Huan and has been standing here for a while.

From the time Yi Huan moved away from the blacksmith shop, until the magic array that occupied the entire city wall appeared, he could see it clearly from the side. And he has been by Yi Huan's side for so long. He could also faintly feel that there seemed to be a great deal of magic in it.

Yi Huan's frown did not let go. He said slowly, "I don't know. ”

"......," Barristan turned his somewhat speechless gaze to Yi Huan, "Perhaps this matter should be informed of Her Majesty first, there are still 8,000 Unsullied troops in Storm's End." ”

Yi Huan didn't answer him, but asked a little strangely, "Why are you here, Daenerys should be busy right now." ”……

Daenerys was indeed busy at this time, although she didn't know how Yi Huan did it. However, Sir Fallin and several noble families in Storm's End did fully submit to her, which meant that Storm's End was officially her domain, and it also meant that it became her responsibility.

Although it takes the will of the one on the Iron Throne to canonize a territory, Daenerys is the true dragon successor of the previous dynasty Targaryen, and the one on the Iron Throne itself is not worthy of the name, so she does not need the recognition of the Iron Throne, but the Iron Throne should be at her disposal.

Not to mention. It is unclear who King's Landing belongs to at this time.

"Falin. What's going on in Storm's End? Led by Sir Falin, Daenerys asked in a low voice as she entered the halls of lords in Storm's End.

Although the surrounding soldiers are very strange, no one has made any drastic moves, one is that they are Sir Falin's personal soldiers, they are completely loyal to him, and they will do whatever he tells them to do, so Farin is loyal to Daenerys, and they are loyal to Daenerys.

The other is because Daenerys is famous, although she has not seen it with her own eyes, but the true dragon descendant from Essos, the name of the Mother of Dragons, still crossed the sea to Westeros, as a coastal military fortress of Storm's End, it is impossible not to have heard of it, these soldiers are actually more curious than strange.

"Don't hide it from Your Majesty." With a wry smile, Fallin whispered, "What's going on inside the castle...... It's not that good, really. ”

As the supreme commander of Storm's End, Sir Fallin was able to stay in the fortress of Stannis' base camp while Stannis gathered all his strength to wield all his strength in the north, and he still had two brushes.

In the beginning, Sir Fallin did a very good job of maintaining and stabilizing the development of Storm's End, and even used the bits and pieces of the money lent to Stannis by the Iron Vault to contact several caravans, and once made Storm's End prosperous.

But the good times didn't last long, and the town of Saltfield was suddenly attacked by a group of thugs, although it seemed to be stopped by a few strange people, but soon the second attack came, and after the town of Saltfield was seriously damaged, Storm's Rest was missing a caravan with the most traffic.

Although there is one caravan missing, the remaining caravan from the coastal area of Eagle's Nest City can still maintain a certain amount of funds and income, and when the second crisis came, it was not long ago.

King's Landing was suddenly changed, although he didn't know exactly what happened, but Falin was keenly aware that this change probably didn't have to be as small as when the king of the north died there, and it didn't seem to have any effect on Storm's End, because this was something his master Stannis should have considered, but King's Landing suddenly cut off the land caravans from south to north shortly after.

The caravans passing through the Royal Forest and the Avenue of Roses have all disappeared, you know, the caravans on land are the most important source of supplies for the Storm's End, perhaps for other towns, the closure of the Rose Avenue will not affect anything, at most the prices have risen a little, but for the Wind's Rest Castle with its back to the sea and nested on the high cliffs of the mountains, it is deadly.

Moreover, the caravans to and from King's Landing have an attractive high amount of trade, so even if Storm's End is subordinate to Stannis, King's Landing has never cut off the contact, although the Iron Throne is controlled by the Lannisters, but the interests of the caravans belong to the other nobles, even the Lannisters, do not offend the public.

Only this time, it was replaced by a werewolf that had been fed by humans, and there was no reason to talk about it.

Falin didn't know what was going on in King's Landing, but the food could not be eaten, although there were still a few caravans that deviated from the Rose Avenue and avoided King's Landing and passed through the Royal Forest in advance, but the number was too small, and it was all specially brought for Stannis's face, and the price was very high.

Fortunately, there is a sea route behind it, otherwise the Storm's Rest would have collapsed long ago.

But even so, with only a caravan coming and going to and from the vicinity of Eagle's Nest City. The resources in Storm's End are still dwindling. By the time Daenerys arrives here. The spare food and surplus food are only enough for half a month, and even if Daenerys does not attack, Storm's End will not be able to hold it.

"It's already so bad." Daenerys sat in the middle of the Lord's Hall, quietly listening to Sir Falin's debriefing, then frowning slightly.

During this time, Fallin was very tired, and as soon as he defected to Daenerys, he immediately poured bitter water, "Now only the caravan of Seagull Town still has contact with us. Dragonstone doesn't have to think about it at all, it's Lannister's back garden, and Saltworks still has a long way to recover, because of the arrival of your army, the caravan that was supposed to enter the city in the past two days didn't come from the direction of the Royal Forest, so if it continues, Storm's Rest will not survive the next arrival of food in Seagull Town. ”

Daenerys nodded thoughtfully, now she knew why Yi Huan had proposed to hide in the fleet and load a lot of food and spices, "The food problem is easy to handle." "I have a lot of food in my fleet. It's enough for everyone to get through this time, what about the rest. What is the population of Storm's End? ”

As soon as he heard that the food problem in Storm's Rest Castle could be solved, Sir Fallin immediately relieved his mind and came to his senses, and after thinking about it, he said softly, "The army defending the city has a total of eight hundred people, four hundred reserve troops, and the rest of the castle ...... It's less than five thousand. ”

Storm's Rest is a pure military fortress, theoretically unable to accommodate so many people, but after becoming Stannis's territory, he has been expanding for so many years, gradually expanding a castle into a fortress and a city, so it can accommodate so many people, but if you want to fit 8,000 innocent people, I'm afraid it's impossible.

"Five thousand......" Daenerys had a little idea in her heart, the settlement of the Unsullied is very simple, you can rotate back to the ship partially, anyway, Storm's Rest has a passage to connect to the sea, and the fleet is protected by easy magic, it is usually very stable and safe, and it will not bump into each other.

"Your Majesty...... ...... food," Sir Farin asked in a whisper, not because he was in a hurry, but because there were already starving people in the castle at this time, and the cold was still intensifying.

Daenerys nodded blandly, "You call a group of people and go with the Unsullied to the ship to carry food down." Then she turned back to Dario and said, "You go and contact the Unsullied and send the fleet north, to get within the bounds of Storm's Breath in Shipbreaker Bay in the shortest possible time." ”

"Next ......" Daenerys paused and frowned, she was no stranger to managing cities, after all, Meereen's population of more than 100,000 was much larger than Wind's End, but the situation was different between the two, and this was Westeros, not a slave society, and her rule also needed the help of the nobles.

"Party, party." As if to see Daenerys' hesitation about what to do next, Stark immediately encouraged him, and it was what he liked and did best.

"What?" Daenerys remained flat, tilting her head slightly and whispering.

"Oh, yes, it's a banquet, a dinner." Stark whispered, "You should hold a dinner party, not only to contact the nobles in the city, but also to announce your own brought, but also to distribute food, and tell the civilians in the castle that there is still a reserve of food in the castle." ”

"It's a good idea." Daenerys immediately nodded and told Barristan about the idea.

And Stark was also very satisfied, he had been looking forward to the medieval dinner for a long time, the empty and majestic castle, the silent corridor, the dim torches, the crystal red wine, the sumptuous food, the lively banquet, and the ubiquitous **, the secret empty room, the warm noble lady, the beautiful and helpless maid......

Very good, Stark is still the same Stark, he hasn't changed at all, maybe the food at this banquet may disappoint him a little, he should be okay with the rest, after all, he has seen several noble ladies with very nice faces now, and he seems to be very interested in him, the people around the queen, oh, tonight must be a good night.

Speaking of the banquet, Daenerys finally remembered that she seemed to have forgotten something, her eyes scanned the crowd below, and she didn't find her chief wizard, and it might be nothing if the others weren't there, but Yi Huan wasn't here, but it made her feel bottomless.

"What about Lord Sean?" She whispered to Barristan on the side, the gray worm was seriously injured, and during the time he was recuperating, Barristan would replace him.

"Ugh." Barristan was stunned for a moment, obviously not knowing where Yi Huan was going, so he could only say, "He didn't come to the lord's hall with us. ”

"Go find him." Daenerys frowned and added, "The fleet's problems still need his help. ”

Westeros still has a fleet of coastal patrols, so Daenerys led the unsullied to land several large ships, definitely unable to dodge, want to hide, still need the help of magic, along the way, Yi Huan not only made the speed of the fleet faster, so that they led them to avoid the storm in advance, after reaching Westeros, but also used spells to hide dozens of ships.

Now that the coastal fortress Wind's Breath has been taken, the fleet naturally has a place to dock, so it can be unhidden.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Barristan whispered......

"Her Majesty asked me to look for you." Standing beside Yi Huan, Barristan looked indifferent, he was an old knight, although he didn't like Yi Huan very much before, but that had passed, for such a long time, he already knew the importance of Yi Huan, and he also paid great attention to the hierarchical relationship between the two, "We are holding a banquet, but you are not here." ”

"Banquet, so fast." Yi Huan chuckled, "The Unsullied have all settled down?" ”

"Not yet." Barristan shook his head, "The situation at Storm's End...... Worse than any of us had thought, not only had Stannis taken most of their supplies with them before the expedition, but they had recently cut off contact with Storm's End, and with King's Landing's trade routes blocked, they had to accept supplies from the sea, and even food was scarce. ”

"If it weren't for the food we brought, I'm afraid that even if no one attacked Storm's End, many people in the fort wouldn't have survived for three months."

"In that case, why would Daenerys stay here and go straight to King's Landing." Yi Huan said, "There are dragons, there are a few of us, and the werewolves in King's Landing are no opponents, don't tell me that she plans to stay here and make Storm's Rest Castle a good one?" ”

"Her Majesty's decision, I don't know yet." Barristan said seriously, "But I don't think Her Majesty will give up on this place, after all, the people in Storm's End are also her people, and ...... Your Majesty also needs to re-equip the Unsullied, otherwise they will certainly not be a match for the Westeros cavalry. (To be continued......)
