Chapter 173 The Night Watchman’s request for help

The Prince Regent returned with victory, and the entire Storm's End was filled with joy. Although the war did not bring practical benefits to everyone, people always like to follow the herd.

The Prince Regent, wearing silver armor and riding a silver-armored horse, walked at the forefront of the procession, accepting the continuous cheers from both sides of the road.

Cole heard someone calling him "Silver Knight", "Silver Highness" and "White Bird Prince".

He never thought he would be so welcomed, Cole never thought he had done anything for them.

He didn't know that among the people and bards, Cole Julius' reputation was no less famous than "Baristan the Fearless".

Cole's story is talked about by singers.

After returning to the castle, Cole quickly invested in the construction of the garrison plan. For the Lannister military operation, he sent a ship as a representative of Storm's End.

As for the rest of the ships, he moored them in the port of Shipwreck Bay near Storm's End.

In the letter, he claimed that these ships were seriously damaged and were being repaired.

There are 200 people in each camp. In addition to Cole's own troops, he needs to place nearly 5,000 people. This is a lot of work.

First, he established a military stronghold in Summer Hall as a gateway to control the Stormlands, the Reach and Dorne. This point was crucial. He could not build a castle in a short period of time, so he could only build a military stronghold to station troops here.

At the same time, five camps were used, which he also called "small battle groups" to provide supplies.

He will deploy almost two thousand troops in the Midsummer Hall.

The remaining soldiers were divided into fifteen small battle groups and distributed around Storm's End, guarding the castle in the form of satellites.

Cole also ordered people to train a large number of military pigeons for this plan. Although the mainstream of the Seven Kingdoms is ravens, the training of ravens is much more rigorous than that of pigeons, otherwise it would not have formed a discipline in the school city.

.

He asked people to keep pigeons in military vehicles, so that they could move within a certain range with the pigeons. The small war group's stronghold was not too far from the storm land, so it was extremely convenient to use such pigeons to deliver messages.

Cole's basic configuration for a small war group is: a war leader, a judge, and an affairs officer.

The Chapter Master is the overall leader of the Chapter and is responsible for the training and task assignment of warriors. The Inquisitor is directly appointed by Storm's End and has the power of supervision and trial. In conflicts within the Chapter, he represents the rebels at Storm's End.

The affairs officer is responsible for the logistics management within the battle group.

The initial candidates for Chapter Masters come from those warriors who have made meritorious deeds on the battlefield, but Cole is not prepared to canonize them as knights. This strategy can also be regarded as a kind of reward.

This is also a way for Cole to cultivate talents. He has very few capable people. He only has Camilo and Jose who have followed him all the way. During this battle in Cape Wrath, he realized that he needs more capable people.

people.

Although nobles are useful, they are easily constrained. If your decision-making goes against the interests of your family, you can easily be betrayed.

Honor is certainly noble and worthy of admiration, but Cole does not believe that every knight in the Seven Kingdoms pays attention to this.

How many Aemon the Dragon Knight and Prince Baelor the Breaker of Spears are there in Westeros?

The reason why these people are praised by singers is simply because they have noble character that ordinary people cannot have.

As of today, all Cole can think of is Eddard Stark, Brienne Tarth and a few others in the North, several of whom are not knights yet.

Even Cole sometimes feels that he is a villain and that his noble character has nothing to do with him. He cannot give up his own interests or life because of some noble characters that the world touts.

But Cole believed that he was not a pure profit-seeker. He could not do what Bloodraven Brynden Rivers did, in order to maximize profits without any bottom line.

After the Dragon Mother lands in Westeros, the Seven Kingdoms will inevitably fall into chaos.

He didn't think that once the Dothraki arrived, they would clear the world like a strong wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

How long this battle will last and who will win is unknown.

After a victory, Cole's war group plan began to proceed in an orderly manner. In order to appease the knights who were loyal to him, Cole also specially set up a war group that belonged exclusively to the nobles, and he himself served as the leader of the war group.

Because not many people have experience in this matter, Cole fell into a busy schedule after returning to Storm's End. He needed to train the Chapter Masters and teach them how to train soldiers and manage the Chapter. Most of these people were trained before joining the war.

They are all idiots, they just need to be literate.

He doesn't need these people to do well. He is actually digging for gold in the sand. If someone can follow his instructions and achieve results, then this is the talent he needs.

Cole returned to Storm's End feeling tired. He planned to take a bath and then deal with the paperwork in the study.

Recently, the Golden Company and the Lannister armies have been fighting fiercely on Dragonstone. The group of well-trained mercenaries has really given the Lannister a hard rock to chew on.

Now I don’t know if Lord Tywin has received any new news, but the Lannister fleet has retreated to the Crab Island area, close to Crab Cove.

Cole's information is much behind King's Landing. He is actually starting to build his own intelligence network, but there is no good method. He cannot create a bunch of literate birds like Varys.

Ravens cannot transmit language, although they can learn tongues.

So Cole hired some people to collect information in taverns and brothels all over the place. They would bring the information back to Storm's End, and then Maester Palos would value the information. The more recent the information, the higher the price. Of course, some

Information with high value will also be given a high price.

Although this is not very efficient, don't underestimate some talented people. Cole has discovered some talents from these people.

Only then did he initially establish his intelligence system.

Cole's intelligence system is only distributed in nearby places such as King's Landing, not even the North, let alone the other side of the Narrow Sea, so he can only guess about many things, or ask Caesar to take a look for him, but Caesar's current

The body is bigger.

He didn't know what he ate, and his size grew again. Balerion the Black didn't grow up so fast, and he was still a small dragon that couldn't fly very high.

"Your Highness." As soon as he walked into the hall, Bachelor Pylos hurriedly came to find him. It was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.

After having a bachelor, it relieved Cole's pressure on many things. These people who can be sent to various castles outside the school city have very good abilities.

Cole took his letter and looked at the Great Wall sealing wax on the envelope. This was a letter from the brothers of the Night's Watch.

He had told the maester that as long as it was a letter from the Night Watchman, it would be given to him first.

Cole nodded and then opened the letter.
