Across the Mander, the storm lords had raised their standards; Renly's own bannermen, sworn to House Baratheon and Storm's End. Catelyn recognized Bryce Caron's nightingales, the Penrose quills, and Lord Estermont's sea turtle, green on green. Yet for every shield she knew, there were a dozen strange to her, borne by the small lords sworn to the bannermen, and by hedge knights and freeriders, who had come swarming to make Renly Baratheon a king in fact as well as name.
曼德河对岸，风暴之地的领主们也升起了自己的旗帜——他们是蓝礼直属的附庸，宣誓效忠于拜拉席恩家族和风息堡。凯特琳认出布莱斯·卡伦的夜莺旗，庞洛斯的鹅毛旗，以及伊斯蒙伯爵的海龟旗——绿色的汪洋上漂浮的绿海龟。但除开她认识的盾牌徽记，另有十几个异常陌生，想来他们该是效忠于地方诸侯的下级领主，或是雇佣骑士和自由骑手，这些人麇集到蓝礼·拜拉席恩周围，为的是要在这场权力的游戏中站在胜利者的一边。

Renly's own standard flew high over all. From the top of his tallest siege tower, a wheeled oaken immensity covered with rawhides, streamed the largest war banner that Catelyn had ever seen—a cloth big enough to carpet many a hall, shimmering gold, with the crowned stag of Baratheon black upon it, prancing proud and tall.
真正的敌人近在咫尺蓝礼自己的旗帜高高飘扬于众旗之上。在他最高大的攻城塔上，在那生牛皮覆盖的巨大橡木轮车顶，飘动着凯特琳毕生所见最为壮观的——那块布料能做城堡大厅的地毯——一面旗帜，金黄面底，绣着拜拉席恩家族黑色的宝冠雄鹿，高大、腾越而骄傲。
"My lady, do you hear that noise?" asked Hallis Mollen, trotting close. "What is that?"
“夫人，您听见那边的喧哗了吗？”哈里斯·莫兰骑行靠拢，轻声问，“那是什么？”
She listened. Shouts, and horses screaming, and the clash of steel, and... "Cheering," she said. They had been riding up a gentle slope toward a line of brightly colored pavilions on the height. As they passed between them, the press of men grew thicker, the sounds louder. And then she saw.
她仔细分辨，吼声，马儿的尖叫，兵器铿锵，还有……“喝彩声，”她道。他们骑上一道缓坡，朝着远方一列颜色鲜亮的大帐篷行去。当他们穿过这列帐篷，人愈来愈多，声音也愈加鼎沸。然后，她找到了答案。
