Chapter 152 The Second Letter
Calm afternoon.

Ravens from Rainhouse have landed on the Maester's Tower in Storm's End.

The bachelor thought it was another greeting from the Wilder family and a notification of the negotiation of sending troops for reinforcements, but he took a look at the scroll.

Emergency military situation!
The bachelor did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent this heavy letter to the acting castellan Sir Cortnay Penrose.

Cortnay Penrose read the summons from Rainhouse.

The expression on the face was more serious and fixed, the wrinkles on the bald head were piled up visible to the naked eye, and the red beard that was neat like a shovel rose up along with the chin.

The handwriting on Rain House City's letter was hurried and uneasy, and the written content was even more shocking.

The letter stated that the fleet of King's Landing City quietly raided the sea outside Yuwu City. There were about [-] ships, which were larger in size and number than the original royal fleet!

The time is late last night!

The fleet emits an eerie light of its own, illuminating the night sky and the sea.

It can also make a huge noise, so that the shouts and horns in the castle can't even be heard ten or twenty steps away.Let everyone hear the declaration of the fleet.

The fleet announced that it would clear the coast and destroy the castle.

At the same time, the false king Joffrey himself seems to be in the fleet, leaving the Iron Throne in King's Landing.

Finally, Rain House City issued a request, saying that it would be difficult to persist for a long time, and hoped that Storm's End and His Majesty Renly would send troops to support them as soon as possible.

support.Cortanay Penrose could not help feeling suspicious.

The port of King's Landing has never been an airtight place. The last time Storm's End received information about King's Landing Port was only three days ago, and the record was about King's Landing Port ten days ago.

Ten days ago, King's Landing was quite normal.

One or two hundred warships stopped in the port, and the merchant ships gradually recovered, but they were still not as good as before the war.There are also some ridiculous rumors spreading from the city.

not to mention.

His Majesty Renly's camp has been moved to the northern city of Bronze Gate, and the information will be sent there first, with a delay of four or five days at most.

Five days, or ten days.

The Royal Fleet has a hundred more warships out of thin air, and they can also be used for long-distance voyages?

Cortnay Penrose couldn't believe it.

Could it be that Yuwu City has secretly turned to the false king, and this letter is a dangerous bait?

With the thought together, Cortanay Penrose just took a breath or two, and then denied this vicious guess.

If everything in the distress letter is a lie, the purpose is to attract the army to go south to support, so that the enemy can ambush or attack.So, where did the enemy's army come from?
Cape Wrath is located at the southern end of the Stormlands. If the enemy wants to ambush here, they can only sail at sea, avoiding the islands and ships along the way, and finally wait for the opportunity to land.

How many soldiers can the Royal Fleet sail straight to Cape Wrath?

The number will never exceed ten or twenty thousand.

Rain House City's call for help.If this is really a trap, who is the trapped prey?
Who is at Cape Wrath, disoriented, without reinforcements and logistics, and with no escape route?There is no doubt that it is the king's land and the western army under the command of the false king.

Cortanay Penrose understood that no matter how arrogant and stupid the false king was, the ministers of the Red Castle would never agree to such a ridiculous suicide plan.

So, what reason can there be to encourage Yuwucheng to lie?
No more.

Cortnay Penrose knew the Lord of Rainroom.

Caspar Wilder, who was in his prime, was sleek and sophisticated, he could frequently visit Storm's End for the ownership of a piece of land, and he cared about the share of taxes paid, almost only entering and leaving, like a miser.

But for Rain House City, for the glory and inheritance of the nobility, Earl Wilder also has the courage and determination to sacrifice and dedicate.

Yuwucheng knows about Fengjun and the contract.

It is absolutely impossible for Caspar Wilder to deceive Storm's End without authorization, and it is still such an important military situation.

That is.Cortanay Penrose stared at the ink on the letter, every word seemed so bold, so rich.

Eliminate all wrong options, and what remains must be the correct answer, even if it is hard to believe.

and so.

The Royal Fleet really has [-] warships? !
The false king Joffrey personally led the army to sail, raided Rain House City, and even threatened to invade the entire coast?
Do the so-called eerie lights and loud noises really exist? !
Cortanay Penrose couldn't help but think of the rumors from King's Landing, the taming flames, the rebirth of broken limbs, the surging earth and rocks, and the blessings of the gods.

Could these be true too?

Cortanay Penrose couldn't help frowning, falling into complicated and tangled thoughts.

After half an hour.

He turned his head to look at the flag hanging on the wall.

In the dazzling golden yellow, Cortnay Penrose seemed to have returned to the day when His Majesty Renly became king, also in the afternoon.

The same is the study.

He took the open parchment from the duke's hand, glanced at it, and the duke became His Majesty King Renly Baratheon I, the rightful ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and the Guardian of the Realm.

Your Majesty wants to summon all the vassals of the Stormlands to gather troops in Storm's End and take back the legitimate Iron Throne.

Facing His Majesty's hot and sharp eyes, Cortanay Penrose, who was at a loss, looked away, just like this time, looking at the banner on the wall.

Everywhere is golden, like ripe wheat fields, like the sun shining on the sea, like endless gold.

The golden color reflects the coat of arms inherited from the ancient Storm King, the raging fire, the crowned stag, the symbol of the Baratheon family for 300 years, symbolizing power and glory.

Cortnay Penrose then copied it himself, and sent the letter to every castle in the Seven Kingdoms.

Declare that Joffrey, Tommen, and Myrcella are the offspring of infidelity, and that His Majesty Renly is the true and rightful king.

The proud stag thus split.

Both sides held high the banner of the crowned stag, and had the surname of Baratheon, but they were bound to compete, true and false, life and death.

Cortnay Penrose could only choose the stag of Storm's End.

Now comes the deer of King's Landing, or the lion.On the shores of the Stormlands he will unleash his wrath, show off his minions, and display even more terrifying power.

Cortnay Penrose rose and went to the window.

There are only never-ending waves and reefs on the sea, and there is no shadow of a boat.

A few days ago, Earl Velaryon's fleet stopped in this sea, but the walls of Storm's End were impenetrable, so the fleet could only return in despair.

The waves are rushing.

Cortnay Penrose's face softened gradually.

Yes, old Storm's End was made of magic and solid stone, and not only has it never been breached, it has been impervious to even the fiercest storms.

Let that fleet come!

Three hundred, five hundred, one thousand, even if the battleships fill the entire sea, don't even think about stepping into Storm's End!
Seriously, he even smiled a little.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the closed door.

"Sir Cortanay, there is a new letter from Rain House City." The bachelor's voice was still panting.

Cortanay Penrose immediately rushed over and opened the door, facing the maester's slightly flushed and tired face.

He took the envelope from the maester.

This time the sealing wax is intact, proving that no one has seen it yet.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Cortnay Penrose remained standing at the door, and the maester retreated tactfully.

Close the door again.

Cortanay Penrose paused for another moment, then unwrapped the sealing wax and unfolded the letter.
