Game of Thrones: I became a crown prince for a day.

Chapter 445: Burning Sunspear City

In the corridor of the old palace, Davos walked hurriedly, looking for the prince's heirs one by one.

at the same time.

The palace was in a mess, servants were packing their bags, soldiers were getting ready, everything was ready to abandon the city.

Davos walked in the Tower of the Sun and then went to the Water Gardens outside the city.

Night falls in the midst of busyness.

Sunspear, east coast.

As a town surrounded by the sea on three sides, you can see a sandy beach surrounded by reefs after crossing a short section of desert road.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and dark clouds are drifting.

Davos walked on the beach, looking unusually silent.

He was holding a two or three-year-old girl in his arms, and a five or six-year-old boy was following by his legs.

The two children were wrapped tightly in silk, their little faces tense.

"Lord Davos, must father send us away?"

Quill Martell asked timidly.

Davos' expression eased a little, and he replied: "Don't be afraid, Dorne will win this war sooner or later, and you will come back."

"Why do we have to fight?"

Tears welled up in Quill's eyes, and his childish voice began to cry.

He did not have the precocity of his sister Alexandra, and instinctively hated war that destroyed his peaceful life.

Davos paused, looked up at the crescent moon, and sighed helplessly: "This is a difficult question. There are wars every minute and every second in the world. The difference lies in the number of people involved."

He once heard a story from his grandmother.

A farmer lost his mule and happened to see his neighbor had an extra mule, and the two men got into a fight.

The fight between the two sides attracted the help of the whole village, who formed gangs.

Someone was injured in the chaos, and the injured had relatives and friends in the neighboring village, which triggered a war between the two villages.

The war between the two villages affected farmers' harvests and affected the lord's tax collection.

The lord was unable to collect taxes, so he went to war with other lords for gold.

Eventually, the war spread like a plague across every inch of the continent.

Ultimately, war is about plunder and capital.

If the Iron Throne is strong, Dorne will be attacked.

The stronger Dorne becomes, the more the Iron Throne's position will be shaken.

The two sides are located on the same continent and ultimately cannot avoid a war.

Quill half understood, tears streaming from his black eyes, immersed in the sadness of separation.

Blah blah blah!

The evening breeze blew up the waves, which crashed violently against the beach.

Outside the reef area, a small wooden boat rose and fell, like a child away from home, drifting with the current.

"Kids, it's time for us to get going."

Daves took off the white cape on his back and carried the two children towards the canoe without saying anything.

Deep in the night, two larger cargo ships were drifting on the sea, waiting to receive their respective "cargoes".

Davos got into a small canoe and paddled closer to one of the cargo ships.

Soon, the small wooden boat hit the bottom of the cargo ship.

"Hey man, I'll put him on the rope, and you carry the child up."

A sturdy man with a white beard stood on the deck, speaking Valyrian and throwing down a thick hemp rope.

Daves glanced at the sail, a cold tiger head.

After confirming that it was the connecting ship, Davos held Coleanne in his arms and carried Quill on his back.

boom--

Climbing onto the boat swiftly, Davos untied the silk tied around Colainne's chest and lowered his head to remind her: "Take good care of the little princess. The prince will be very grateful to Governor Teslio."

"Of course, the Governor is most hospitable."

The sturdy man with a white beard smiled broadly and reached out to pick up the child.

"That's good. I still have to see Prince Quill off."

"Don't worry, the ship is coming."

"what?"

Davos was stunned when he heard this and turned back in surprise.

puff-

Suddenly, a dagger pierced the back of his head and the tip pierced his jaw.

"Feel sorry."

"All men are mortal."

The sturdy man with a white beard changed his tone of voice and tore off his face, revealing a foreign face.

Fluffy brown curly hair, weathered face, and a mouth that always smiles.

"what!!"

It happened so quickly that blood splattered all over the two children, causing them to scream.

Colainnie was being held in the murderer's arms, her screams nearly breaking her throat, her little body twitching like an epileptic.

Xiliu looked at her with pity and said, "Don't cry, I won't kill the little baby."

As he spoke, he kicked off his raised bamboo legs and stared at the miserable Davos.

The dagger pierced through the back of Davos' head, and blood gushed out of all his orifices, and he lay motionless like a corpse.

Blood gushed out of his mouth, and the silver-white armor was stained with blood.

"Ho ho..."

Davos's instinctive panting could only make a hoarse sound like a broken blower, and his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.

In his last glance, he saw a small cargo ship sailing on the deep sea.

Like a last glimmer of light, he retained a trace of thought.

The assassin had not lied to him, the ship really came.

"Prince, I have been betrayed..."

The remaining consciousness was unable to utter a complete word. Davos was in a trance, and his body leaned back uncontrollably.

boom--

The stiff body fell heavily onto the deck, stirring up a layer of non-existent dust.

The huge sword slung on his back made a crisp sound and broke free from the restraints of the shoulder strap.

The then-Sword of Foxiao died in the mission of protecting the prince's relatives.

"Woooooooo..."

The two children broke down and cried.

Xiliu sighed with regret, unable to do anything about the two children, and bent down to pick up the large sword.

"The Dawn of the Buddha Sword, a legendary weapon."

Picking up the heavy sword, Xiluo looked at it carefully and agreed with the crown prince's foresight.

In a head-on battle, he would definitely not be a match for the Foxiao Divine Sword.

But it doesn't matter.

Dorne is good at assassination, so it's just an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

Wow!

Another cargo ship approaches, with hundreds of people standing on its deck.

Robb, who was supposed to be in Myr, stood at the edge of the deck and said solemnly, "Take care of the child. Lord Corliss will lay siege to the city before daybreak."

"give it to me."

Xiliu bowed gracefully and said seriously: "All mortals need to be served." Under the dark night, the two cargo ships parted ways.

Faintly, one could hear the heart-wrenching cry of a child.

……

Sunspear City, Old Palace.

Keolun lived alone in the bedroom, sleeping soundly on the soft bed.

Behind the bed curtains covered with gauze, there is a sturdy body fully armed and wearing a set of hard plate armor.

At midnight.

Keolun frowned in his sleep, as if he had a bad dream.

Gradually, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"what!"

Keolun screamed and suddenly woke up and stood up.

His handsome face was full of fear, his pupils were trembling, and he looked like he had encountered a great terror.

"Daves, why haven't you come back yet?"

Keolun gasped for breath and muttered to himself.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly remembered that he had asked the other party to send the two children to the outside world, and he should be on his way now.

Keoren breathed a sigh of relief and covered his forehead. "The Stepstone Islands are lax in their defense. The cargo ships from Braavos and Volantis will not be intercepted."

As far as he knew, Corlys Velaryon had almost exhausted the garrison of the Stepstones in order to seek revenge.

If Braavos could send another fleet to attack, it would be able to regain control of the Stepstones.

"Foolish Sea King, you forgot your principles when you saw the little profit."

Koolen felt aggrieved and looked down on Aquaman.

Then I thought about it.

Keoren thought of the cities of Weir and Yronwood, and thought: "The Black Harbor army will be stationed in Yronwood. The rear is empty, and the king of the Iron Throne is in front. No matter which side we attack, we can turn the tide of the battle."

The Dornish know their castle better than anyone else.

"Before the dragon arrives, we must leave the city before daybreak and move the battlefield to a more advantageous terrain."

Keolun shook his head to wake himself up.

But the more he shook his head, the more dizzy he became.

Before I knew it, I fell into a deep sleep again.

……

The next day, the sun had not yet risen.

It was early morning, the sky was cloudy, and a red sun was rising slowly.

The sea surface is surging, the rising sun is level with the horizon, and the sea and sky are one color under the red glow.

"Hiss..."

Suddenly, a loud dragon roar broke the silence of sunrise.

Yang Yan flew over the Shadow City and spewed out dragon flames without hesitation.

Coincidentally, the sun was halfway up.

Yangyan's entire body is golden, with golden scales and light pink wing membranes, just like a sun that has escaped from its orbit.

boom! boom!
A large army marched from the Greenblood River, besieged the gates of Shadow City, and hurled boulders from catapults.

Yangji City, the sleeping palace.

Keolun's eyes snapped open, startled by the noise of the commotion.

"What's going on? What happened?!"

He tore off the bed curtain and rushed out of the bedroom.

He grabbed a guard and yelled, "The sea snake is attacking?"

The guard trembled with fear and said in panic: "The army is blocking the Shadow City, and a giant dragon is attacking the city buildings."

"asshole!"

Keolun felt uneasy, pushed the guards away, and staggered out.

As he walked, he muttered, "There's a tunnel under Shadow City. Sunspear City can't be defended."

As he was speaking, he felt dizzy and suddenly felt weak all over, almost falling to the ground.

Kooren summoned his strength and called the troops together.

He understood one thing at this moment.

No wonder the continent of Essos hates the Dragon King and dragons.

Before the appearance of dragons, the strength of Westeros was reflected in its thick armor, highly mobile cavalry, and indestructible castles.

After the dragon appeared, even the thickest armor would be burned through, and the cavalry became toys that could be manipulated at will.

Even a noble's most important castle lost the benefits of its natural defenses and solidity and could no longer stop the dragon that had air superiority.

Shadow City, outside the city walls.

An army of 3,000 men led by the king were marching with high spirits, manipulating siege engines to attack the city.

The sea snake had a murderous look on its face and shouted, "Release!"

boom! boom!
Catapults hurled boulders onto the brown and yellow city walls.

The defenders numbered only a few hundred men. They were unable to withstand the dragon's attack and were quickly crushed.

The sea snake waved its hand and said, "Break the city!"

The soldiers pushed the siege vehicle forward and easily broke open the unobstructed city gate.

At this time, the morning sun slowly rose and the sky was filled with fiery clouds.

The sea snake looked up at the sky, its stiff face moved slightly, and indescribable excitement appeared in its eyes.

……

"run!"

"Enter one by one, and the exit is in the desert."

In a corner of Shadow City, Dorne soldiers rushed forward frantically, scrambling to get into the secret passage.

One mile outside the city.

boom!
There was a muffled sound from the sand, followed by a plop and the movement of a wooden board pushing out.

With gravel all over his head, Keoren used his hands and feet to crawl out of the hole.

"Hurry up, there is a water garden ahead. Go around and take the small path to the Soul Hill."

A large number of soldiers climbed out, and Keolun led the team into the desert.

The main road is impassable, so it is safer to walk through the desert.

Soul Hill is closest to Yangji City. We can get supplies there and make long-term plans.

call--

I walked laboriously on the sand, and a strong wind whistled overhead.

Keolun's whole body froze, the joy of escape disappeared, and he raised his head with difficulty.

The sky suddenly darkened, and shadows covered the earth, blocking the bright morning sun.

Above his head, the blue sky disappeared, replaced by a huge black dragon.

The dragon's vertical pupils are dark green, flashing dangerous light, and it is at the top of the food chain.

"Dragon Flame!"

Suddenly, a clear voice came out.

The next second, dark green dragon flame poured out.

Keolun gnashed his teeth, but he only had time to see a silver-haired figure on the dragon's back, looking down at him with contempt.

The scorching air rushed towards him, and Keolun was like a lamb to be slaughtered. He burst into a desperate cry:
"Do not!!"
