Game of Thrones: Kings in the North

Chapter 230 Battle of the Stormlands, Cersei the Conqueror

On the majesty of Storm's End, the holy fire licked the night sky under the caress of the strong wind in Shipbreaker Bay.

Under the illumination of the holy flame, Melisandre drank the moonlight with the big ruby ​​on her snow-white neck.

Melisandre stared at the wildfire, dripping with sweat under her tight red robe.

The red-robed woman is passing through the sacred fire, observing the vision sent by R'hllor, the Lord of Light.

Many believers of the Lord of Light prayed with Melisandre and gazed at the holy fire together.Many people also claim to be able to see visions from the flames, and even the Onion Knight, a follower of the Seven Gods, couldn't help but try.

Davos saw only yellow, orange, and red flames, and the flames and smoke hurt his eyes.

Stannis was dressed in a gray woolen robe, which looked very plain among a group of richly dressed nobles, with the burning sword Lightbringer hanging from his waist, and his jaw was tense.

"What do you see?"

Davos, the onion knight next to Stannis, heard the urgency in Stannis' words. In recent days, King Stannis desperately needs good news to boost morale.

Melisandre smiled warmly.

"Your Majesty, I see that the flames and the ocean have enveloped King's Landing. I am afraid that the reign of Lannister and Necromancer in King's Landing will soon come to an end."

Stannis was not convinced.

"Fire and sea over King's Landing? Woman, what do you mean? As far as I know, fire and water are incompatible."

Melisandre's eyes flickered like burning red candles.

"The flames are the deadly enemy of the undead. The one who destroys the flames of the undead may be the dragon in the hands of the wolf king Ed, or Daenerys' dragon. Of course, it may also be the Balrog of His Majesty."

Stannis raised an eyebrow.

"Where did the ocean cover King's Landing?"

Melisandre said: "The power from the sea will help the flames and destroy the undead in King's Landing."

Stannis snorted softly.

"Your interpretation may not be accurate. Today's King's Landing is shrouded in death and terror. There are more and more frost dragons and death knights in the hands of necromancers. Even Tywin, the kingslayer, also fled to the King's Landing, ask for the protection of Cersei and the undead. The power of the necromancer is in full swing."

"Ed captured the Western Territory, but failed to eradicate Tywin, the Kingslayer and others. Now, the Lannisters are reunited in King's Landing. This is not a good sign."

Melisandre said: "Your Majesty, Lannister is not monolithic. I saw it in the vision of the holy flame. Lannister will soon kill each other."

It was a good omen at least, and Stannis lacked a good omen.

In recent days, Stannis' army, and the undead army led by Death Storm Robert, have repeatedly competed for Fallen Wood Hall, Hay Hall, Bronze Star Gate and other stormy castles.

Deathstorm is fierce in combat and good at running, just like Robert when he was alive.

The addition of the Balrog greatly increased the strength of Stannis's army. This creature covered in flames can not only summon fireballs, attack giant bats, frost dragons, and undead, but also resurrect dead bodies, become flame slaves, and fight undead.

With the help of Flame Slaves and Balrogs, Stannis' army has been able to launch a partial counterattack and regain some lost ground. However, the land hit by the ice sprayed by the Frost Dragon will turn into a dark gray cursed land. Now, Most of the area north of Storm's End has been reduced to a cursed land.

Strong as the Balrog, and unable to purify the cursed earth.

Seaworth, the onion knight, was a little fortunate that his territory was at Cape Wrath, south of Storm's End. His wife Maria and two young sons still lived safely in the territory.

However, the south is not absolutely safe. A few days ago, a large number of giant bats and the blue queen of the frost dragon tried to attack the territory of the Harvest Hall, which was the territory of the Selmy family and the largest grain-producing area in the Stormlands.Barristan Selmy, the famous Kingsguard "The Bold", came from Harvest Hall.

Once the good farm in the Harvest Hall is destroyed by the undead, it will be difficult for Stannis to maintain the food and grass of the army. Fortunately, the Balrog himself went out to kill the giant bat in the valley north of the Harvest Hall and drove away the blue queen of the frost dragon. .

Davos the Onion Knight stroked the breast pouch that contained his phalanges, which had always been his lucky charm.

"Your Majesty, the Crow's Eye has become the king of the Iron Islands. If the news from the Iron Islands is true, the Crow's Eye can summon sea monsters and naga. This is really terrifying. Even the Royal Fleet cannot contend with sea monsters."

Earl Celtigar leaned over, his buttons shaped like crabs, all made of garnet.

"The Crow's Eye's horn to summon sea monsters must have been snatched from my castle. It is an heirloom of our Celtiga family. When I was young, my grandfather told me that the horn can be obtained from the ocean. In the depths, summon a sea monster."

"In the future, when His Majesty defeats the Crow's Eye, I hope His Majesty can return the horn to its original owner and return it to our Celtiga family."

Stannis gritted his teeth in a way that seemed to strangle Lord Celtigar.

"Count Celtigar, the Horn of the Kraken should have been handed over to me from the very beginning, and I will keep it. Now, the horn of the Kraken is in the hands of the Crow's Eye. What shall I use to defeat the Crow's Eye? What expedition shall I take?" What about the Iron Islands?"

Melisandre said: "Sea monsters are indeed terrifying, but compared with Naga, their strength is much inferior. According to legends, sea monsters and sea beasts are the food of Naga."

The Onion Knight said: "Can the Balrog beat the Naga?"

Melisandre shrugged, "In the ocean, the Naga will win. On land, the Balrog can easily defeat the Naga. Onion Knight, the key depends on where the battle takes place."

The former Prime Minister, Lord Alister Florent, was smiling all over his face. This man was Sam's grandfather and Randall Tarly's father-in-law.

"Your Majesty, the Iron Islands are worth fighting for. We should take the initiative and send envoys to form an alliance with the Crow's Eye."

"Just imagine, if we form an alliance with the Crow's Eye, Balrog and Naga, sea monsters join forces to attack, and the Iron Islands fleet plus the royal fleet, we will be invincible at sea."

"I heard that Petyr Baelish, Littlefinger, is working under the crow's eye. Littlefinger and the crow's eye are smart people. They must know the benefits of forming an alliance with us."

"With the support of the Crow's Eye and the Iron Islands fleet, we can easily conquer the Reach."

Count Alister Florent's castle and fief in Brightwater City in the Reach have been seized and occupied by the Duke of Metz in Highgarden. It seems that even if the undead raged and darkness fell, Alister Florent The earl is still obsessed with his homeland and his territory.

Stannis looked hard.

"I will not compromise with the Crow's Eye. The Crow's Eye sat on the Seastone Seat and wore the Driftwood Crown. Like his elder brother Balon, he presumptuously claimed the throne and tried to split the kingdom. How could I be with this kind of person? Compromise?"

Stannis stared at the night fire, and said slowly: "Wolf King Ed sent a letter, agreeing to march to King's Landing together. Melisandre, since you are in the flames, and the vision you see is beneficial to us, marching is the only choice."

Melisandre said: "The Balrog will lead the army of flame slaves to wipe out the enemies in the royal forest. At that time, once the army of the wolf king Eddard reaches the city of King's Landing, our army can set off and threaten King's Landing from the south."

Everyone dispersed, and only the onion knight, Stannis, was left before the holy fire.

The Onion Knight lowered his voice.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the flame slaves are like ghouls, exuding the stench of death. They were resurrected by the Balrog, just like necromancers resurrecting ghouls."

"Many flame slaves are your subordinates. They should be rested in peace after death, not as flame slaves, walking corpses."

Stannis said helplessly: "Of course I know that it is an evil and depraved thing for the Balrog to resurrect dead bodies. However, if the Balrog does not resurrect the corpses, those corpses will be resurrected into ghouls by necromancers."

"War is inherently cruel, not to mention that it is a battle between ice and fire, light and darkness. There is no way around it."

The Onion Knight looked around subconsciously.

"Your Majesty, we all know that Cersei has become the puppet of the necromancer Ogbetta, but she herself has no knowledge."

"The flame slaves are all resurrected by the Balrog. The Balrog is so powerful. He has helped His Majesty win many battles. But what if, what if the Balrog begins to disobey His Majesty's orders one day?"

Stannis paused for a moment.

"It's really a potential threat, and I'd be wary of it."

King's Landing, Throne Hall, Jaime looked at the skeleton brought by the bat, opened and closed the hand holding the sword.

Today, the necromancer Ogbeta is going to revive the three legendary Kingsguards in the Throne Hall, Arthur Dayne, Oswell Hean, and White Bull Jero Hightower.

They were all the sworn brothers of James back then, who died in the battle at the Tower of Joy, and died under the sword of Ed and his companions.

At the beginning, James was only 15 years old when he put on the snow-white cloak of the Kingsguard. The Kingsguard at that time were all legendary knights, good guys, Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Dawn, and Gerald Hightower, the White Bull. Bill and Oswell Hoan taught James a lot.

Today's Kingsguard. This is a group of Kingsguard guarding the dead, either Cersei's lackeys, such as Marlin Tran, Hercules Rustu, Black King Kong Thapbit, or trash, such as Boros Brow kindness.

James is actually the captain of the Kingsguard!Arthur Dayne, the Sword of Dawn, and Gerald Hightower, the White Bull, are about to be reborn, and James really wants to find a place to drill down.

When he followed Arthur Dayne, the Excalibur of the Dawn, what James was most proud of was that he, together with Arthur Dayne, Barristan and others, pacified the Kingswood Brotherhood.

Now Simon Toyne, White Hart Winda, Ben with the big belly, the Smiling Knight, Oswin the Giraffe, Dick the Archer, and others from the Brotherhood of the Royal Forest fought against Stannis in the Stormlands after their resurrection.

This is the most depraved King's Landing royal family and the most depraved Kingsguard in history.

James at the stairs of the Iron Throne felt more and more uneasy the more he thought about it, and he said to Cersei, "It's best not to resurrect the Sword of Dawn, the White Bull and Oswell Hean, you have no shortage of death knights. "

Cersei looked at Jaime with evil eyes.

"What? James, haven't you always worshiped the Sword of Dawn? You don't want them to be reborn?"

"I remembered, back then, your sworn brother left you in King's Landing to protect the mad king Aerys, but you killed the mad king Aerys with a sword, right in the throne room. These three kingsguards learned that you became the murderer When the king was in Dorne, they must have been talking about the treachery of the kingslayer before they died!"

The necromancer Ogbeta came over, exuding an evil aura.

"Ser Jaime, these sworn brethren of yours are ready to dedicate themselves to Her Majesty Cersei, to the great cold god."

"Don't forget, Stannis' Red Lady, who raised the legendary Kingsguard Prince Duncan at Summerhall, and if we don't, Stannis will, sooner or later."

James suppressed his anger, "Dawn Excalibur, White Bull, and Oswell Hean are all good people, turning them into death knights will only tarnish their reputations!"

Joffrey on the Iron Throne, oozing pus from a hideous wound on his scalp.

"Kingslayer, you are the only Kingsguard who killed the Kingsguard who swore to protect the king. What honor do you know?"

"I need death knights to fight for me. My father, Robert, was reborn after death and turned into a death storm. He still scares the enemy. If you and Grandpa Tywin were counted on, Lannister would have been destroyed long ago."

Afterwards, the skeleton scepter of the necromancer Ogbeta emitted a blood-red halo and hit the skeletons of Dawn Excalibur, Oswell River Ann, and White Bull Jero Hightower.

After a puff of black smoke, Dawn Excalibur Arthur Dayne, Gerald Hightower, Oswell Hean, all dressed in snow-white enameled scale armor of the Kingsguard, stood in the throne room.

James was dizzy for a while, as if he had become a 15-year-old boy again.

The three Kingsguard kneel before the Iron Throne and swear allegiance to Cersei and Joffrey.

"We swear to the death to fight for the cold god and for Lannister!"

Neither Oswell He'an, Dawn Excalibur Arthur Dayne, nor White Bull Gerald Hightower, did not give James a second look.

Only then did James realize that they, like Prince Rhaegar and Deathstorm Robert, were puppets of the Cold God, who had lost their self-awareness. James secretly rejoiced, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to face the sworn brothers back then.

Cersei smiled and said, "Arthur Dayne, Sword of the Dawn, you are the most powerful swordsman. The Knights of Flowers under Wolf King Ed, Brienne, the Hound, and Barristan are no match for you."

Arthur Dayne said: "I will kill every enemy of Her Majesty."

James noticed that the long sword in Arthur Dayne's hand was as pale as milky white glass. It was the legendary sword of the Dayne family, Dawn.

"After Arthur Dayne was reborn, he actually wore the sword Dawn? This sword should be in Starfall City. Why was it reborn with Arthur Dayne?"

The necromancer Ogbeta laughed and said: "Of course this is a false dawn, not the real sword of dawn. In Sir Arthur Dayne's skull, there is a memory of his life, and the sword of dawn has long been integrated with him. It's actually a skull sword."

Cersei was curious: "Where is the real Dawn of the Sword? I heard that the lord of Starfall City is a child named Edric. He is the attendant of the Lightning King and the adopted son of the wolf king Ed. .”

James explained: "The Excalibur of Dawn will not be passed on to the head of the Dane family, but to the best swordsman in the family. Every knight of the Dane family who owns Dawn is nicknamed Excalibur of Dawn .Now, the Sword of Dawn is still in Starfall City, waiting for the next Sword of Dawn."

Joffrey complained.

"Since the Sword of Dawn is so miraculous, why not send bats to steal it from Starfall City?"

The necromancer Ogbetta apologized: "Your Majesty Joffrey, I did send bats, but none of my bats came back alive."

"Starfall City has magical powers. After all, the Dane family is very old. Like the Hightower family in Old Town, their history can be traced back to the Dawn Era."

Jilian smiled and said, "When the undead army merges with Dorne, the Sword of Dawn will return to Arthur Dayne's hands sooner or later."

James knew that Jillian and his witch wife, Grace, had never been trusted by Cersei, and even the necromancers were afraid of Grace, the sea witch.

A few days ago, the subordinates of the Magic Mountain, Sweetmouth Raff, Notepad, and Old Chiswick, made dirty jokes on Grace together. As a result, Sweetmouth Raff, Notepad, Old Chiswick got a strange disease the next day , with scales like fish, they died screaming.

Now, the people of the Magic Mountain and the goat Wag Hutt all hide away when they see Grace the Sea Witch.

Tywin and Kevan are more dependent on the witch Grace, after all, Grace is their sister-in-law.

Although Cersei appointed Tywin as the Hand of the King, Kevan as the Minister of Finance, and Jillian as the Minister of the Sea, these Lannisters have no real power and no army in their hands.

Tywin hopes to use the witch Grace to fight a turnaround in King's Landing.

However, James is always wary of those who manipulate witchcraft.

James began to miss the simple world back then, when the enemy was terminated with a sword seal, not now, death was far from the end, and even the magic dragon was summoned back by the necromancer in the dark altar.

In the past few days, the weather has become colder and colder, and autumn is drawing to a close. The magical power of the necromancer Ogbeta has become more and more powerful. Long Yangyan, the mount Silver Wing of King Renrui and Queen Alishan, etc.

And tonight, after the resurrection of the legendary Kingsguard such as the Sword of Dawn, there is another highlight, which is the resurrection of the Black Death God Balerion.

Cersei, Joffrey, Necromancer Ogbeta, James, Tywin, Kevan, Jillian, Sea Witch Grace and others came to the dark altar together.

Several frost dragons are flying in the air.

The believers of the Seven Gods in the cage were tied to the cages on all sides of the altar. There were monks, nuns, silent sisters, beggars, bread boys, sailors, tinkers, fishermen and so on.

The sculpture of the cold god on the dark altar continuously sucked the life force of the believers of the Seven Gods. The life force turned into clouds of black mist, and the black mist enveloped the dragon skeleton of Balerion, the black death god.

Back then, Aegon the Conqueror rode Balerion and conquered Westeros. He may be the largest dragon in the history of Westeros. In fact, many maesters believe that Balerion's dragon skeleton It is the largest in existence.

It would take more dark magic and more innocent deaths to resurrect Balerion as a frost wyrm.

James has been looking for an opportunity to assassinate the necromancer Ogbeta, but his patience is running out.

So many innocent people were murdered and massacred by the undead, but I can't do anything. What use do I need this sword?

However, on the other hand, James reminded himself deep in his heart that you must be patient and look for opportunities, otherwise, your assassination is doomed to fail like Varys and Tyrion's assassination, and you will lose your life in vain.

That way, Jaime the Kingslayer would be part of the Death Knights, reunited with his sworn brethren Dawn Excalibur, White Bull, Oswell Hean, and more.

The necromancer Ogbeta activated the spell, and the surrounding temperature plummeted, and the wind gusted.

"Belerion, the black god of death, you are the incarnation of death, and Westeros is full of corpses because of you. Guided by the cold god, please be reborn! Westeros will tremble and tremble for you again!"

Rotten flesh appeared on the skeleton of Balerion, the Black Death God, and soon, it was covered with a layer of ice crystals and frost.

Joffrey, Cersei showed a hungry, greedy expression.

Balerion, the black god of death, opened his blue eyes. Balerion, the great frost dragon, raised his head to the sky and roared, flapping his wings, covering the sky.

Many believers of the God of Cold knelt down in unison, and all the Lannisters stood, but James noticed that there was fear in many people's eyes.

At that time, Roren, the last King of Casterly Rock of Lannister, joined forces with the King of the Reach to form an alliance of tens of thousands, trying to defeat Aegon the Conqueror.

As a result, Aegon the Conqueror controlled the dragon Balerion, Queen Visenya controlled the dragon Vagarhar, and Queen Rhaenys controlled the dragon Meraxes. The family is completely extinct.

King Roren narrowly escaped death on the battlefield. He chose to surrender, gave up the crown, and became the first Duke of Lannister, so that the blood of Lannister survived.

The Frost Dragon Silver Wing, Yang Yan, Red Queen, etc. are scary enough in size, but in front of the Black Death God Balerion, they instantly become much smaller.

Balerion, the Black Death, landed on the ground, and Cersei, overjoyed, climbed up.

The Frost Wyrm flew Cersei into the sky, and Cersei screamed.

"At this moment, I rule the world, and I am Aegon the Conqueror in a skirt!"
