Chapter 171 Red Keep Civil War
Everything has a cause and effect, Robert suffered today, all having only oneself to blame.

Imagine, if Kingsguard are all characters like Barristan Selmy, what can James get out of the Three Heads Six Arms?

The purpose of Kingsguard's existence is to defend the king and the royal bloodline, and the selection requirements are - strong, loyal and wise. At the end of the Usurper War, there were five Kingsguard vacancies that needed to be filled, six if James was the Kingslayer. In order to show his love to his new wife, Robert, by the way, thanked father-in-law for his "strong support" for Baratheon's new dynasty, which was worth hundreds of thousands of Golden Dragons, and perhaps also meant to take James as a hostage - deciding that the position of Kingslayer would not be It is said that the choice of the other five key personnel was generously handed over to Cersei!
Being stared at by the world, Cersei, who was still young at the time, could not recklessly install all the Kingsguards as House Lannister's people, but also did not intend to select excellent guards for Robert making an all-out effort - so, she did not and Father Tywin made the queen's first decision without authorization: bypassing the three countries of North, Riverlands and Dorne, which have always had grievances or discord with the Westerlands, from the remaining Reach, Vale, Stormlands, Westerlands and Crownlands five places Among them, each chose a small family that was close to their own family, and let them choose a family member to send to the palace...to serve as Kingsguard!
Kingsguard elected with such a child's play and strong political bribe means, of course, it is impossible to be strong. The five new Kingsguards may be regarded as Peak Warriors of their respective families, more than enough to be a mercenary...but they will never reach the level of wearing a white robe. Barristan commented on the five new colleagues: Even now, I can still be like a cut. Chop all five of you down like cheese.

Although he despises Kingslayer's betrayal, Barristan sadly admits: In addition to oneself, James Lannister is the only qualified Kingsguard. The five new entrants may not be able to betray Robert in the infighting between the king and the queen, but in any case, the battle strength and quality of this batch of Kingsguard are recognized as the worst since Aegon landed and created the White Robe Guard post. Once, not one.

Concerned about the safety of Cersei, James burst out with unprecedented power in a desperate situation - still the familiar backstab, or attacking the king he swore to protect, sixteen The scene of the killing of the king a few years ago floated before my eyes. honor? James muttered the word with red eyes, realizing that this was something that oneself could only hope for in this life. The dagger pierced Robert's back armor in front of the two white robes and stabbed into the king's flesh. It wasn't enough. James also hit Robert with his shoulder, knocking down the other's fat body with strength and inertia. Just before the opponent fell, he grabbed the Warhammer who had killed Rhaegar with both hands, and snatched it from the master who was caught off guard.

"You!" Arys Oakheart relaxed a moment's guard when he saw James's sword fall to the ground just now, when it was too late to react, he loudly shouted, drew his sword and rushed to sneak attack on the king's James um.

Robert suffered from pain in his back and was hit, and the moment he fell, his hand loosened, giving Cersei a chance to break free. The queen breathed again, ignoring the pain in her neck, without the slightest hesitation. Breaths deeply, screaming loudly: "Go on—!"

The sharp soprano overwhelmed the exclamations of the three children and penetrated the door of the room, and the battle inside and outside the room started again at the same time.

......

Warhammer is so heavy, James thought, Robert was able to use this weapon, facing such a strong Warrior who dares to be careless, it is not wrong to lose . oath? Jaime had no desire to improve the second word silently, grabbed the long hammer that weighed nearly twice as much as oneself's favorite weapon, and swept away fiercely: "fuck off!"

Two Kingsguards Not giving in to each other, each other's weapons hit each other with only a fraction of a second. Alex's sword slashed the deck in front of Kingslayer's chest, and James' Warhammer dented the former's gauntlet. Normally, James would be able to beat the two colleagues without injury, but this time, knowing that the garrison was in a hurry to take Cersei to escape, he chose the perish together style of play. Warhammer's advantage lies in both sides. All wearing armor, without defending or dodging to the maximum, Alex was beaten, his arm was broken, and his body lost his balance.

Outside the door, hundreds of red robes attacked the king's men the moment they heard the voice of their young lady. Although the three Kingsguards had more battle strength than ordinary soldiers, they had less than fifty men. The so-called Royal Family Red Keep guards... To put it bluntly, it is a small team in the Metropolitan Guard that is responsible for the inner area of the Red Keep. They also wear golden robes, and their battle strength is not as good as the red robes from the Lanisport guards.

The number of soldiers and battle strength of the king's side are at a disadvantage. If it weren't for the three half-assed Kingsguard's support, I would have collapsed in an instant. The three white robes wanted to get out of the battle and rushed into the house to see what happened. But they knew that if they did that, when the house was finished, there would be only House Lannister's soldiers left outside the house.

"Kill them both!" Robert fell to the ground and still couldn't stop, reaching for Cersei's skirt to stop her from escaping, but ripped off only a piece of cloth...so he tried again. Pulling out the dagger on his back, his body was too fat to reach the hilt. As the injury to his lungs expanded, he immediately began to feel a sharp knife-like pain in his chest. Difficulty breathing, his sturdy body quickly began to collapse due to insufficient oxygen supply, his eyes were black, and standing does not raise.

"Don't come here!" James reached out and touched his abdomen, only to see blood But he couldn't see the wound, and he didn't know the injury of oneself for a while. He raised his head and pulled Cersei, raised the Warhammer and pointed at Boros Blount standing in front of Myrcella: "The king is not dead yet, keep an eye on him, I don't want to kill you!"

"Don't be frightened by him, he hit me with a sword, not your opponent... Stop him... don't... let him run away." Alex lay on the ground, his right arm was almost abolished, so he had to put The sword was handed to his left hand, struggling to stand up.

……

If this year's Kingsguard's battle strength and quality are the worst ever, then Boros Blount Ser is the worst in this worst year. The poor one: The action was slow and didn't keep up with his teammates' attack, not to mention watching Arys Oakheart being knocked down by James with a hammer without hesitation. Holding the steel sword trembling with fear, he stood cautiously beside Robert, and with the excuse of "protecting the king" offered by James, he was even more motionless like a statue nailed in place.

Cersei waved to the three children and shouted: "Little Joe, Myrcella, Tommen...Follow me!"

"No, stay here! You are Prince and the princess, Eddard Stark doesn't dare to hurt you!" James felt a stomach ache every time he said a word, clutching his stomach and dismissing Cersei's words, in fact, oneself didn't believe what he said, but he knew - with three children, Cersei would never run away out of King's Landing. Wiping the blood off his hands, he dragged his elder sister's lover, who was still unwilling to give up, and stepped back facing Boros. He reached the door, opened the door, turned around and rushed out of the house.

Outside the house, with the sounds of fighting, shouting, wailing, and weapon collisions, the scene was a mess, and it was clear that the more crowd had the upper hand. Preston Greenfield saw James in the blood-stained white robe, and Cersei he was holding in his hands, and stared loudly roared: "James! What have you done!"

"You have to Go to the stable, you can't escape King's Landing without a mount." James ignored the shouts of the enemy, the Red Keep has been controlled by Stark, and there is no way to escape with a horse, but you have to try. There was a tremor from the ground, a large number of soldiers were rushing here, and he pushed Cersei hard: "After finding the horse, lead someone to pick a side door with few people, storm out, and escape before they close the King's Landing door. City, let's go!"

"It's not me, it's us! I've already made arrangements for the way back!" Cersei pulled James' arm again without question, pulling him forcefully towards the stable: "Bo Special, stay here with half of the people, Amos, bring twenty people with me...Hurry up and stop that white robe!"

The Kingsguard, who charged at James with his sword, was hit by several long rods. The spear pushed back, and a dozen red robes to solve or drive away oneself's opponents gathered around Cersei and the injured James, covering Young Master and the young lady withdrew to the stables, but there were thunderous footsteps from the south direction of Maegor's Holdfast With a sound, Ed appeared at the end of the field of vision with a large number of soldiers from the garrison. After seeing the battle scene here, he quickened his pace, and he would arrive at the scene in a blink of an eye.

"Can you still do it? Hurry up, the guard of the iron gate of the Red Keep sewer is my person. This gate is marked very small on the map. Stark forgot to send someone to replace him, and it has not been opened for two days. Rain, there must be no water. The Gate of the Gods guard Captain of King's Landing is also my person, we can escape!" Cersei pulled James, who was determined to live and die, and at the last moment, he turned his head and ordered loudly: "Hold on! They!"
