Davos Seaworth, the "Onion Knight", has been enjoying himself lately.

He was knighted by Stannis Baratheon, who of course also punished him for his smuggling behavior by cutting off the first phalanx of the other four fingers of his left hand except the thumb!

Those who have merit must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished! This made him suddenly feel that his master was different!

He is a breath of fresh air among the corrupt lords! Doing business with such a master makes you feel at ease! So he asked his wife to sew a small bag, put his shaved finger bones in it, and hung it around his neck as an amulet.

Moreover, the Lord also sealed a piece of land and a small castle for himself in Cape Wrath. Now his wife and children can finally live upright and upright!

When his wife Maria, who was called "Mrs." for the first time, excitedly rode on him, he felt that his life had reached its peak in an instant. The title of his wife was a shadow that Davos, who had been exiled at sea, could not imagine. of!

The day after he was granted the title, he named his family Seaworth, which means seaworthy ship! The coat of arms of his family is a small black ship on a gray background with an onion pattern inlaid in the sail of the small black ship. This is to commemorate the "Black Bess" that established immortal achievements and a ship full of onions. !

Last year, King Robert ordered Stannis to build the royal fleet, and Stannis handed over this important task to himself, and also made himself responsible for training sailors!

He became a celebrity throughout the Stormlands! Of course, he also knows that there is a high probability that the Royal Fleet will not be handed over to him as commander, but no matter who becomes the commander of the Royal Fleet in the future, they will not be able to bypass him as the founder!

Cape Wrath has fertile land, and the rainforest of Cape Wrath is full of timber suitable for building ships. There are huge cedars, hemlocks, maples, oaks, redwoods, sentinel trees, and soldier pines that can be hugged by many people...

Many lord families in the rainforest, such as the Metelin family in the Misty Forest, the Morrigan family in Crow's Nest City, and the Clinton family in Eagle's Nest Castle, are all famous for selling shipbuilding wood and amber gems.

As we all know, it is impossible to build a boat immediately from freshly cut trees. They must go through a series of treatments such as trimming, drying, shaping, insect-proofing and moisture-proofing.

The most critical part of the entire ship is the keel. Among them, the keel of large and medium-sized warships and merchant ships is best to be an integrated keel. It must be large and strong so that it is not easily broken up by wind and waves in the ocean.

The ship ribs, which are spliced ​​to the keel using a mortise and tenon structure, need to take into account both strength and hardness. The hull is a little simpler, but in order to be waterproof, it must be dried slowly in the shade for more than a year!

The gaps and the hull below the waterline are then coated with asphalt before launching into the water.

Obviously these materials cannot be solved by cutting down trees in a short time. Fortunately, these rainforest families have given huge support, and the inventory of ship materials was quickly transported from all directions to the large shipyard in Cape Wrath.

In order to improve efficiency, Lord Stannis dug a total of 3 large and 5 small and medium-sized warship dry docks, which can start work on 3 large warships with more than 200 oars and 5 small warships at the same time.

But King Robert believed that a warship with 200 oars could not compete with Aerys II's former royal fleet, so he allocated a huge sum of money to let Lord Stannis build a giant warship with more than 300 oars!

In the end, after consulting many shipbuilders, Lord Stannis decided to start construction of an unprecedented 400-oar giant warship, and sent the drawings and plans to King's Landing along with the raven.

Sure enough, King Robert was overjoyed after seeing it, and immediately named it "King Robert's Hammer". He hoped that this giant warship could crush everything on the sea just like he used his warhammer to smash Rhaegar's breastplate on land. Enemies at sea.

When the keel of this maritime overlord was laid and the dense ribs were inserted, Ser Davos Seaworth was extremely excited.

However, due to the large amount of construction work for this warship and the shortage of craftsmen, it has seriously slowed down the formation speed of the entire fleet!

Now half a year has passed. Lord Stannis expected at least 80 warships, but now less than 30 have been built, and basically no rigging and sails have been installed. What if the Targaryen fleet attacks... The consequences can only be said to be unimaginable!

However, as the hull of the "King Robert's Hammer" is gradually being laid, the manufacturing and processing of the mast and sails are also in full swing.

But after the Targaryen family was never seen outside the bay, his hanging heart was finally relieved!

Also, the current defense focus of the Targaryen family should be in the direction of Blackwater Bay and the Kingswood. They would never have thought that His Majesty Robert secretly gave the shipbuilding task to the Stormlands. As we all know, Shipbreaker Bay has high winds and rough waves, and there are still three days when there is no wind. Chilangli!

When Lord Stannis unexpectedly appeared on the sea of ​​Dragonstone with King Robert's Hammer, which was as tall as the city wall, and nearly a hundred of the latest warships, he wanted to know what Lords Luthris and Tritimon should do. How to meet the challenge?

However, several grasshopper ships appeared on the sea recently, which made him think they were the reconnaissance ships of the Targaryen family. When he drove the Black Bess to negotiate, he discovered that they were the smuggling ships of his old friends, the Thorne family.

After a false alarm, he thought about it for a while and decided to betray Salladhor Saan to save face and seize the ship and people. After all, he was an old friend. However, he asked the other party to keep silent and swore to the sea not to reveal anything about this place. After everything was done, he let the other person go.

One more month! Cape Wrath will have the power to protect itself. After three months, even if the Dragonstone fleet comes out in full force, it will be helpless against its own fleet.

Out of caution, he decided to quickly install sails and rigging on the thirty small and medium-sized warships, so that even if there is an emergency in this month, they will have a certain degree of mobility and will not be a live target on the dock.

He did what he said, and the former smuggler had such a strong execution ability. In just a few days, everything was arranged. He could finally take a breath and continue to supervise the construction of King Robert's Hammer!

But what he didn't know was that just like he had lowered the sails of the "Black Bess" in the night, stopped the sliding oars, and quietly sent a ship of onions and pickled fish to Storm's End along the water.

A dark boat approached quietly on the sea and saw the brightly lit docks, workshops and huge warships that were trying to hoist masts in the dock.

"Observe the terrain carefully and survey the waters as soon as possible. If you are caught, say you are a pirate from the Stepstone Islands. You must not reveal your true identity even if you are hanged!" Jaehaerys said to the captain of the small boat before departure.

However, it is obvious that there are some defenses here, but after nightfall, most of the guards are too sleepy to open their eyes, holding horns and crossbows like chickens pecking at rice.

"That's enough, go back and report to His Royal Highness!" The boat gently rowed and slowly retreated from the bay.
