Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 225 New Year's Gift
A week before New Year's Eve, Stannis received a big gift.

That morning, Maester Romon unexpectedly received a letter from Hillier, expressing his willingness to organize his army into Stannis' order of battle, and Stannis would be under unified command during the battle.

"Why doesn't this kind of pie in the sky feel so real?" Stannis scratched his face, and put the letter under the sun to carefully observe whether it was a forgery.

With Hillier as an example, Doug and the Buffalo family also wrote letters expressing their willingness to form the Eastern Front Coalition.

Stannis was overjoyed, but he was worried that he didn't have enough men to spare to form the second legion.

Now with the addition of more than 200 fresh troops, Stannis has 500 soldiers in his hands. He has transferred a group of backbones from Thunder, and formed a new "Watcher" with the newly recruited personnel and soldiers from the other three families. "Legion, appointed Hillier as the head of the army, Barrow I as the deputy head of the army and captain of the infantry, and Randall as the deputy head of the army and captain of the archers.

However, when forming a new legion, Stannis kept an eye out. He transferred half of the members of the three families into his Thunder Legion, so that his direct subordinate legion would have 300 members, while the Overwatch only had 200 members. Because of the special status of Hillier's fiancée, he still wants to minimize the risk of rebellion. For them who are just starting out, the consequences of any civil war will be devastating.

For this method of division, Hillier did not express any objection. Stannis plans to build a new military camp at the junction of the four houses, that is, the Sancha River Beach. However, because it is already deep winter, this project can only be built next year. The beginning of spring is underway, and Stannis, who feels ashamed in his heart, takes the initiative to bear all the costs of building the barracks, which moves Randall's boss, who chases him and screams.

After obtaining the joint command of the alliance, Stannis realized that he could be regarded as the second most powerful military force in the East. Apart from his father-in-law, the Frod family, which had 1200 soldiers, he was the most powerful. The Hawes family in the south can't compare.

Naturally, Stannis focused his attention on the family in the south, which was full of civil strife. If he could occupy or form an alliance with them, he would not only get a large number of excellent war horses, but also completely control the middle section of the Bur River, including the main trunk and tributaries. It's all under his control.

But how should he control the Howth family?You must know that although the three sons of the Baima family are separated from each other and are on the verge of civil war, if there is an invasion by external forces, no matter how much they hate each other, they will unite to fight against foreign enemies.And unlike his own ally, a small family that no one cares about, the Hoss family has been entrenched in the grassland for more than 500 years, and it has already been deeply rooted. In addition, they have a relationship with the Garcia family. The duke's vigilance was followed by the army's pressure on the border, a burst of knocking, and it was completely reimbursed.

Force is definitely not enough, Stannis can only find a breakthrough in other ways, if he can marry the daughter of the Howth family, he will undoubtedly be able to take a piece of territory as a dowry, but thinking of his "reputation" in this regard, Stannis felt that the other party should not marry his daughter to him.

Since I can't do it myself, I have to adopt the curve system. After all, it is really easy to find a knight with two legs and a handle. For example, there is one in his castle that can be lifted out immediately.

"Carrot~~" Stannis floated into the kitchen, calling his best friend in the most gentle tone.

Robert, who was eating breakfast, shivered reflexively, and he knew what this tone often meant.

"Boss, I only ate two of your muffins today, and I didn't even put honey on them. Please don't say that I eat and drink for nothing, which hurts my self-confidence!"

Stannis wrapped his arms around him like a snake, making sure the little brother couldn't get away, and whispered in his coaxing Anya voice, "What are you talking about, my good brother! I'm yours here Home, don’t talk about eating a few pancakes, even if you spend the money in the treasury, I will say a word.”

Robert looked at the lord's face in surprise, not knowing where the traverser made a mistake.

"However, my radish, you will be 20 and 3 this year, shouldn't it be time to think about your own life?" Stannis looked at him with a kind smile.

On the other hand, Robert couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this matter is not simple, this guy is forcing himself into a marriage so that he can be cleared out!
However, Robert, who had already made up his mind, smiled and began to live in mud, "Boss, of course I also hope that there is a gentle woman who can warm my bed every night, but I am just a frustrated knight with no fiefdom and a change of underwear There is only one, how can any noble lady like me!"

You still want to find a noble lady with your shabby appearance!This guy also feels really good about himself, but Stannis also understands the hidden meaning of his words. If he is not a nobleman, he, Robert, still looks down on him!
"You don't have to worry about this, the boss has helped you find a family that matches you to marry you, she is the daughter of the Howth family!"

But this sentence did not arouse Robert's excitement. Instead, he sneered and made a disdainful voice, "Hey! I knew that the boss was playing tricks on me. Is there any daughter in the Hoss family that can be married?"

"No?" Stannis rubbed his head in embarrassment. He only knew that the old Earl Howth was a well-known planting machine. He had more than 30 sons and daughters in total. He couldn't have a daughter of the right age to marry, right?
"Old man, quickly find out if there is any daughter in the Hoss family who can marry Carrot, it doesn't matter if she is a teenager or 20 years old!"

"I said boss..."

Bachelor Romon opened the cowhide book and looked it up seriously, "All those older than Robert in the Howth family have already been married, and those younger than him have already been booked, and there is one who has not been bought because she is only three years old. Wait a minute, last month she already got married to Les Roddy's youngest son."

"..." Stannis didn't expect that women in Westland were so sought after. It seemed that his younger brother's desire to marry a nobleman was really difficult.

Bachelor Romon adjusted his glasses again, "However, Your Excellency, the daughter of Earl Howth's eldest son, Baron Lambert, has grown to twenty or eight years old, and she is not married yet."

"It's settled, it's her, old man, hurry up to propose, make an appointment, and hire me. I don't know what to say. In short, she will be Robert's future wife." Stannis snapped his fingers and said anxiously.

Robert was silent the whole time by the side, and found that his life-long affairs had been decided by others, and he could only express this.

"Hey! Not bad."
