Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 249 The Great Army
But at this time, Robert said without knowing what to do: "But since that god seal wants to capture you as its substitute in the past, why don't we just kill you here now! Without your substitute, running around, that God Seal will not be able to conquer the world, right?"

Stannis gave him a killer look and let him see for himself how underwhelmed he was.

Fortunately, Bachelor Romon came to his rescue and said: "That's not acceptable, even if we kill Your Excellency, chop him into a pulp, burn him into ashes, throw him into the pigsty, and completely erase his existence. We will look for the next person to infect, so we have to permanently solve this problem while the situation is under control, lest it continue to spread in the territory."

Maester Romon's words dispelled Robert's urge to kill his elder brother. Although Stannis was very grateful to him for coming out to save him, in fact, the words after "killing your lord" needless to say, were too alarmist.

But Robert still asked curiously: "To deal with so many Chaos people, we must at least organize a huge army, but boss, where are we going to find so many people?"

Stannis smiled. He had already thought of allies who could provide him with reinforcements.

"First, the troops in my own territory plus the troops of the allies, there are a total of 500 people."

The knight commander nodded.

"And after two more groups of refugees are settled, we can recruit another group of soldiers to join the army, Bachelor Romon?"

"We can recruit 200 more people." Bachelor Romon immediately gave the answer he wanted.

"And then?" Robert asked expectantly.

"Hiring mercenaries, we can first borrow money from merchants and mortgage the customs duties of the port to them to repay the debt. First, we will borrow 2000 gold coins. It is expected that the waterway will be thawed after the spring, and we can pay off the principal with interest in 4 months. .”

"Boss, with this much money, we can hire a medium mercenary group of 300- people."

"Where is my father-in-law? I can squeeze some more people over. By the way, aren't there some little lords around?"

Bachelor Romon quickly recorded on the cowhide book with a pen, "But this is not enough."

"Yes, not enough, but we still have Erathia's army."

Stannis finally revealed his first hidden card.

"Elasia? Will they be so kind to help us?" Even the knight commander didn't quite believe that the empire would come to help for nothing.

"Of course they will come." Stannis said confidently, "I'm still useful as a pawn, and they don't want me to die."

In this way, the plan for asking for help was roughly finalized. Maester Romond began to write a letter to be mailed with a raven, while Stannis kept wandering back and forth beside him, staring at the performance of his staff leaning against the table. He hesitated to speak.

"Your Excellency, you kept looking at my cane all the way, is there anything special?"

Maester Romond returned to his usual humble attitude.

But Stannis could no longer look at him as a long-winded old man, so excitedly he sneaked up to Bachelor Romond and asked in a low voice: "Does your granddaughter know that you are a super powerful mage?"

The old man shook his head with a smile, obviously he didn't want to drag the grievances of the previous generation into the reincarnation of the next generation.

"Then the one next to your hand is the sage's staff?" Stannis asked with interest, pointing to the crutch-shaped cane. No wonder so many mages pointed at them when they first entered the city. The old man has hidden such a big killer, and he doesn't know how much he can sell it for.

But unexpectedly, Bachelor Romond shook his head, "This is not the staff of the sage. A lost legendary staff, which was incorporated into the book by a troublemaker, caused me a lot of unnecessary trouble."

"However, Vincent also thinks so! As a mage with the same reputation as you, he has grown up since he was a child, so he won't admit it wrong."

Bachelor Romond still shook his head, indicating that he was wrong again.

"Except for me and the teacher, no one else has seen this famous and legendary staff, because we never take it out and use it."

"Why? Wouldn't it be too wasteful not to take out such a powerful weapon!" Stannis felt that it was a waste.

But the old man lowered his head. This secret is usually passed on among the guardians, but facing him, Romon decided to tell the truth: "The reason why it cannot be used is very simple, because the real sage's staff has long been broken into seven pieces. cut."

"How could this happen!" Stannis never expected that things would develop in this way, "Are there any mistakes, how can an epic staff be damaged!"

Bachelor Romon sighed, "When the moon is at its fullest, it also means the beginning of its deficit, because the power contained in the sage's staff is too strong, causing the white wood staff that contains its magic power as a carrier to fall on the moon. It was broken into several pieces in a huge magic duel and there is no way to repair it. This secret is only known to the guardians of the past, so Vincent thought the staff still existed and longed for it."

"Then... that staff is already scrapped, how can you still fight him evenly, or even beat him once?"

Maester Romon took his cane and pointed to the slit at the top, only then did Stannis realize that there was a small piece of wood inlaid in the hollowed out interior.

"Because I hid a small fragment of the sage's staff in the cane. Although it has been broken, the huge power has not disappeared. It longs for the day when it will be recast."

One fragment was so powerful, Stannis could not imagine how terrifying the complete Wand would be.

"By the way, I heard from Vincent that your teacher left you three treasures. Besides the sage's staff in your hand and the source of magic power in his hand, what is the other one?"

This question caught Maester Romond, but it wasn't that he had forgotten the name of the item, but that it aroused memories of his past, memories that made him miserable.

In the end he replied: "Yes, my teacher left behind three powerful magic items. When he was young, he used them to sweep the Westland and maintain a record of 72 consecutive unbeaten duels. After he left, he will They were passed on to his last students, that is, me, Vince and Cortana, respectively symbolizing the invincible sage's staff, the source of immortality, and..."

He paused, and finally said, "Phantom kamikaze that works miracles."
