Melisandra entered the lord's mansion of the Fishing Village Harbor in the early morning of the next day. She wore her symbolic red robe. She saluted Lynn with her eyes as respectful as the King of Light.

Lynn introduced the butler Danni.

"I want to arrange for Danny to follow you and practice for a while, and try to make her a shadow binder with the power of the King of Light before the arrival of winter?" said Lynn.

Melisandra looked up and saw Danny wearing a red shawl, her pretty face as bright as a flower, and as bright as a flame and red heart.

The gems on the woman in the red robe's chest were slightly flashing, and her eyes were also slightly shiny.

Melisander smiled and bowed to Lynn: "She is beautiful and will surely please Rahlo. I promise to try my best to teach her to be a qualified priestess, sir."

...

The dawn wind tear open the dawn, and the heavy blue sky slowly retreated. The pale mist floated from the river of Baigang City, and people and horses stumbled in the cold mist.

Under the Gripen flag, soldiers were busy tightening the saddles of the war horses and extinguishing the campfire last night; the knights jumped onto the war horses that could not be exhaled, while the infantry archers buckled their sword belts and quiveres.

The low sound of trumpets sounded from the barracks of the Hu Ben and the Knights, crossed the fields outside the old city, and came into the ears of the soldiers watching the night on the city wall.

In the Lord's Mansion in the Old Town, Count Rock and Stannis are having breakfast: honey cakes with blackberries and nuts, bacon, fried starfish meat, cheese with eggs, milk, mead and low-gold sweet wine.

The food was rich and delicious, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

When the commander of the Old Town Garage Army hurried into the lord's house, Count Rock was talking to Stannis about the next person to win over in the north.

The two were talking and laughing.

Earl Rock noticed the visitor and subconsciously wanted to invite the latter to the table, but he soon found that he was still wearing armor and looked a little anxious, "Sir Sheen, do you want some breakfast? Oh, by the way, have you not been on a routine patrol today?"

"Now I'm afraid I don't have time to have a meal, sir. Outside the city, Sir Sheen, the commander of the old city's garrison, nodded to Count Rock and Stannis, turned to look at Old Rock, with a solemn expression.

"Army? Pirates?" Old Locke was a little Alzheimer's because of his age. He didn't understand where the army would emerge to attack the old city.

As we all know, Stannis and his army were visiting the port of the old city. Including the soldiers on both sides, nearly three thousand warworthy power had been stuffed into this ancient castle.

"The enemy is not by the sea, but on the land, the North Gate and the West Gate, Lord Sir Sheen reminded.

To the north? Is it Baigang City? Is it the army from Baigang?

The sudden appearance indicates that the army is likely to have marched overnight.

Count Rock suddenly realized the seriousness.

He stood up in panic, hesitating too quickly, and his knees hit the dining table, and the pain almost made him faint.

Old Locke didn't care about the pain, took a breath of air conditioning, and shouted with no manners: "Hurry up, gather the army."

Stannis drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, frowned and turned to look at the Onion Knight behind him. Davos Seaworth nodded to the former, and left with Sir Sheen with the knight's sword at his waist. He wanted to rush back to Stannis's barracks immediately, just in case.

Teams of soldiers in a well-dressed manner, led by the leader, headed to the old city wall.

The streets and squares were full of flags holding two crossed copper keys on white strips on purple background of the Rock family and the Lu family's flag soldiers.

The closed city gate was crowded with residents who wanted to leave the city. The garrisons in the city held weapons to drive them away and drove them away. The bell tower in the center of the old city rang the long-lost deafening bell.

The scout sent the latest information and confirmed that a 2,000-man Gripen army was declared to be attacking Stannis. The army surrounded the west gate and north gate of the old city. More than ten siege thieves were arranged in the wilderness outside the city.

The eldest brother of the late King Robert Baratheon, Duke of Dragonstone, was the king of Stannis Baratheon, sitting high in the old town council lobby. He was tall, bald, and thick black beard on his wide chin.

At this moment, Earl Oulu Locke, who looked as if he was ashen, said slowly: "Lynn sent the Gripen Army to attack the old city, claiming that it was to attack me, the murderer. You can open the city gate and let my army go out of the city to fight, so that it will not affect the innocent residents of the old city."

Earl Oulu Locke is old, but he is not blinded. He looked at Stannis on his left and said firmly: "Your Majesty, I have sworn to you. Since the young wolf lord Robb died in Hejian, the northern border has been occupied by the guy Lynn. He had sent troops to attack the widow Wangfeilint family who swore allegiance to you. Now he has even raised the butcher knife to the old city. My Locke family vowed to advance and retreat with Your Majesty."

Stannis Baratheon has a typical second-child personality.

In aristocratic families, with a few exceptions, the eldest son is cultivated as the heir, cultivate the communication skills and leadership of the eldest son, and cultivate the temperament of one of the overlords. The eldest son himself is also a popular object of marriage.

Stannis has the elder brother Robert, who is the second son, and he can only be trained as a spare tire for the heir to prevent accidents from happening to the heir. The second son can be replaced at any time. Therefore, since he was a child, this second son was educated to obey the eldest son. Even if this second son has certain leadership skills, he still cannot truly stand alone because he has been educated and obedient since childhood.

This growth environment also allowed Stannis Baratheon to develop a cautious, rigid, unspeakable, serious and stubborn personality.

He always bit his lips, was stubborn and tolerant. His parents didn't give him much love, he was not humorous, sunny, and friendly.

When Stannis heard the statement of Count Rock, he forced a smile and said, "It is said that there are only two thousand troops from Baigang. Are they going to use this army to attack the old city? I guess this time the siege of the city wanted to force me to leave the northern border. He expressed his dissatisfaction with me winning over the nobles of the northern border."

Oulu Locke sneered and said, "The Rothschild family is not comparable to Stark. It is not that easy to truly gain the support of all the nobles in the north. He had deprived the Kaho city of the Kastrak family of the vassal meeting before, which was simply arrogance."

As the patriarch of the ancient family in the Northland, Oulu Locke expressed disrespect for Lynn, the upstart, in private. He believed that Lynn was a land thief and his reputation was not enough to rule the Northland.

Moreover, he believed that Lynn's Gripen Legion could successfully defeat the Borton's Skinned Legion, which must have used shameful means, because the old city was very close to the fishing village port in the territory of the Rothschild family, and he did not believe that such a broken fishing village could give birth to a legion that swept the skinned people.

Oulu Locke stubbornly believed that everything Lynn has achieved now is due to shit.

The old nobles believed in family heritage and noble reputation. The Baratheon family, as the blood family of the king, was more qualified to win the favor of the nobles.

Only one opportunity to expose Lynn's false strength will be needed, the Northbound people will choose to support Stannis, and Stannis will learn from the lessons of the last Blackwater River defeat and finally ascend to the Iron Throne.
