"----In the name of warrior I ask you to be brave, in the name of Father I ask you to be fair, in the name of Mother I ask you to protect the weak and innocent people, in the name of Maiden----"
Starpike Earl is canonizing people again. He is already very proficient in this old profession.
"----In the name of the Stranger, I ask you to remain humble to death----Rise up, you are now a knight, Davos Sir Seaworth."
Captain Davos - no, Sir Davos, who had been promoted to another level, waited until the black smoke Valyrian steel sword left his shoulders and returned to the silver-plated holly wood scabbard, then he slowly stood up, with a beaming look on his face.
At this time, they were in the Lord's Hall of Storm's End, surrounded by guests from all over the kingdom.
This made the canonization ceremony of Davos even more glorious.
Discuss merit and reward.
Since Davos has made great contributions, Titus will naturally not be stingy with rewards.
After meeting again, he personally knighted him in the castle of "Godsgrief" in front of nobles from all over the country.
In the future, the surname "Seaworth" will also become the knight family of Westeros under the banner of Peake.
Not only that, Titus also selected a good territory for his new vassal in advance. With Davos Seaworth's loyalty and talent, a mere knight was never his peak.
It's been quite busy all day today.
In the morning I have to take the knee of Lord of Highgarden.
Around noon, they had to surrender the remaining forces of the Southern Border Army, appease the Reach nobles in the Southern Border Army's camp, and enjoy a "happy" lunch.
In the afternoon, I gave the completely discouraged inflatable fish a lesson and stood down for Allister.
In the evening, another more grand dinner party began in Storm's End.
The large amount of supplies obtained from the southern military camp is too easy to be "corrupted"----
Titus reminded himself in his heart that today is just the way it is, and he will have to do serious things tomorrow.
He solved the siege of Storm's End. When he first entered this fortress, Titus first listened to Davos's report and met the young Renly·Baila Theon. Later, under the guidance of Stannis and the bachelor of the fort, Haosheng visited the birthplace of Robert.
Titus I couldn't feel any traces of protective magic from the thick laminated stone walls.
But he has always been amazed by the architectural wonders of this world.
One is because of its own grandeur;
The second is to marvel: with such limited productivity levels, the Westeros natives can actually build wonders one after another.
This is really quite magical.
As early as Starpike, whenever he looked at his "Hokage Rock" or "Presidents' Mountain" on the large terrace of Starpike East Study, he would have a similar sigh in his heart.
Night falls.
Main Keep The wide hall on the first floor is brightly lit.
The Reach's gilt candlestick was brought to Storm's End, which reflected the surrounding stone walls warmly.
This hall has witnessed a series of major events of House Baratheon.
The most profound impression Titus has on this place is when "one-eyed" Aemond rode the "Mother of Dragons" hundreds of meters away to ask for a wife from House Baratheon.
Then he bumped into Lucerys·Velaryon, who had a grudge against him for the missing eye, and threatened him with his own sapphire prosthetic eye, asking Lucerys to repay him an eye.
I completely forgot that I once said: I got the dragon "Vhagar" at the cost of one eye, it was worth it--
When.
At that time, Duke Storm's End Borros separated the two people and prevented the conflict from escalating in the castle. He expressed that he did not want to see them causing bloodshed on his own territory. He then asked Lucerys·Velaryon to ride on his dragon "Arrax" and leave quickly.
Malice, the daughter of Borros and one of the "Four Storms", was not selected by Aemond because she was not beautiful. With a sense of revenge, she took the opportunity to laugh at the one-eyed prince, "Did you lose your eyes or your balls?"
This sentence completely angered Aemond, who had become violent and impulsive after possessing the largest dragon in the world.
He left the roof of Duke Borros and rode the huge Vhagar to chase his nephew.
"Shipbreaker Bay Dance" happened.
The "battle" did not last long. The huge Vhagar bit Arrax into several pieces with just one bite.
The little dragon carried the young master from the high sky and fell straight into the roaring waves of Shipbreaker Bay.
Aemond·Targaryen became the "parricide" Aemond----
The hall of Storm's End, which has been conquered for 283 years, is now filled with laughter and laughter.
The celebration banquet at the Southern Border Army Camp has just ended, and the Storm's End dinner party, which represents the significance of multi-party peace, has started a new round of carnival.
Dozens of long wooden tables are filled with sumptuous dishes:
The roasted pork leg with crispy skin is dripping with oil; the roasted chicken platter is smeared with honey and cheese and garnished with various fruits; the color is attractive and the fragrance is fragrant; the fresh fish just caught from the sea is made into fish soup, and the rich milky white soup exudes an overflowing fragrance----
There are also mountains of wine barrels stacked on the sides of each dining table. The aroma of wine and food permeates the entire hall.
Nobles and knights from all over the world sat around the long dining table, happily enjoying fine wine and delicious food.
The generals of the Southern Expeditionary Army were chatting and laughing loudly, showing off their endless military exploits last night.
The Reach nobles who had "awakened" in time cautiously echoed the former, trying hard to integrate into this feast that belonged to the victors.
As the "survivors" of the Southern Border Army, they were also among the "winners" of the previous battlefields.
The defenders of Storm's End let go of their bellies even more. The memory of hunger during the year of siege was unforgettable. Now facing a table full of delicious food, they were so hungry that they only regretted that they had lost a mouth.
The sounds of clinking knives and plates, as well as toasts, laughter, and chatter, are endless.
At this moment, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
The VIP table is located at the top of the hall, with Commander Ti sitting in the center. Old the Fox from the Florent family is still close to him, with more smiles on his face than he had during the previous year when he participated in the siege of Storm's End.
Brightwater Keep Earl is reporting his "work results" in a low voice. "Sir, the Earl side of Green Valley City has already reached an agreement."
He lowered his voice, with a hint of asking for credit in his words.
"This afternoon, he was scared out of his wits by your thunderous methods. I revealed a hint of my intention and he agreed on the spot. He even said that he did not need to return the ransom at all and he was willing to be your friend." He was not afraid to let Highgarden know----"
What is that "thunder method"?
Titus interrupted him and said, "It's not just mine, he is our friend."
Allister only felt physically and mentally at ease. In his current state, he might be able to live another few decades like the Twins's old Frey.
He nodded repeatedly, his face almost bursting into laughter.
"----Now, I have arranged for Mei Dou Earl to live in Sir Baelor's camp, so the two of them have a companion.
Baelor·Hightower also has no moral integrity, or in other words, given his family background, he can "make friends" with anyone he wants, which is totally true of Highgarden's Tyrell, especially the Tyrell who is destined to go downhill now.
Titus nodded lightly, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip of summer red without saying much.
"And Old Oak's old Oakheart Earl.
Allister continued, "He was very stubborn and refused to bow his head. He only said that he would let the family collect his share of the double ransom as soon as possible."
The city of House Oakheart is located on the coast in the northwest of the Reach.
The ancestor of the family is a son of "Garth Greenhand" Garth - "Oak" John.
It is said that this man was very tall and strong, one said eight feet, another said ten to twelve feet. He was the legendary first knight. He founded the knight system in Westeros more than a thousand years before the arrival of Andals----
Titus who had read the story about this character laughed, saying that this person is more like a "half-Giants".
Their family, like Red Lake City and Goldengrove in the north, often went to war with the lords in the south of Westerlands before Aegon's Conquest.
"Let him be."
Titus spoke calmly. If the other party didn't want to make friends, he wouldn't force it.
"Whether you are willing to pay the golden dragon or not, the rewards for the Southern Expeditionary Army will cost a lot of money. Moreover, we the Reach really need a few strong bones to support the situation - and avoid others saying that I will kill everyone."
"Your Excellency is wise!"
Allister was not sure if the other party was targeting him again, so he just echoed the words and flattered him, "----In the battle last night, you easily defeated the larger Southern Border Army with 30,000 troops. You even captured the Southern Army Commander Lord of Highgarden alive. In addition to your previous illustrious military exploits, looking at the entire Seven Kingdoms, it is unmatched!
In my opinion, you are the undisputed and well-deserved number one general in mainland China!"
Oh, you don't even want to be called "general star", but directly changed to "number one in the world"?
Titus heard this and smiled, with a Hua Mouyu-like "what if" expression on his face.
He thought to himself:
This title does not belong to him, Commander Black, but should it be given to Lord Mace, who was captured alive by him and claimed to be the "Art of War"?
He, Titus·Peake, Seven Kingdoms, is the first general and makes money.
"That's ridiculous."
The commander-in-chief was still pretending to be polite, "It's just that we won a battle that deserved to be won."
Brightwater Keep Earl seemed to want to say something more, but he saw Storm's End's acting city lord Stannis walking over with a wine glass and seriously toasting to Hei Earl - this guy is not very good at smiling.
But this is also the king's biological brother.
Allister had no choice but to stop talking for the time being, and joined in the cheers, raising a glass to congratulate Earl.
The noise in the hall continued, and everyone in Storm's End, under the influence of alcohol, loudly praised the achievements of their own Stannis city lord and Starpike Earl who came to the rescue.
The atmosphere of the dinner became more and more lively.
The next day.
Paxter·Redwyne Earl took his family's "Qingting Queen" and successfully landed ashore.
Then, he came to Storm's End and requested to meet the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expedition Army Titus.
Titus did not meet him publicly in the lobby of the tower, but chose the meeting place in an empty room in Storm's End
In the study room.
No matter where he goes, he loves to commandeer study rooms. The study room in each castle can reflect the unique temperament of that castle.
The furnishings in the study are simple, without much decoration, except for a number of ancient books placed on ancient shelves.
The bright sunlight shines in through the narrow windows, casting a few mottled light and shadows on the old-looking floor.
There was a knock on the door.
Titus stood up politely and greeted the old acquaintance Paxter·Redwyne who walked in under the guidance of captain Wenda----
"One-eyed" Aemond:
