Chapter 409: Bear! Bear!
Stormland.
Southern Rain Forest, Wulin City.
“Hiss…”
The light silver dragon raised its head and roared, swooping down at low altitude and spitting dragon flames from its mouth.
Outside the bluestone city wall, countless Dornish soldiers fled in all directions, screaming and wailing incessantly.
“Escape quickly! Hide in the rainforest!”
“Scorpion crossbow…aimed at the dragon…”
The battlefield was filled with smoke, broken wheels piled up, and charred corpses lay scattered everywhere.
As a siege equipment, the scorpion crossbow is indispensable as the first target of the dragon.
Also destroyed were catapults and siege engines.
After the successful rescue of Mistwood City, the Dornish troops besieging Stonehelm City formed a siege.
The Dornish people fled for their lives and continued until noon. The large army fled out of the rainforest to hide.
Haiyan glanced sideways, deliberately slowed down, and intercepted the Dornish soldiers fleeing towards the royal forest.
There were thousands of Dornish soldiers, and they were reduced to lambs to be slaughtered after their lines were defeated.
The passionate horn sounded, bringing the dawn of victory.
“Your Majesty, please allow me to send a message to the main force first, and then accept your hospitality.”
Count Maeterlin was the dark-haired man who fought back bravely and entertained the reinforcements warmly.
“Hiss…”
There is no doubt about the outcome of the war.
Time flies and it's noon.
Thousands of elite cavalry and an adult dragon.
Lanino was smiling broadly, but he was not dazzled by the joy of victory and was always thinking about the battle.
Lanino laughed loudly, opening his mouth so wide that he almost choked on the wind.
“Hahaha, good job...”
“Open the city gate! Counterattack!”
Lanninor drove a dragon and burned a large number of Dornish people to death, which won the envy and admiration of Lord Metailyn.
The raven took the lead and flew to the closer Kingswood station, and the letter was handed into Aemond's hands.
The sea smoke screamed melodiously, and the body swooped repeatedly with dexterity, and the dragon flames like fire pillars slaughtered mercilessly.
During the First Battle of Dorne, the Maetellin family was poisoned by the Dornish people, and all members of their direct lineage died.
After many years, this hatred still continues.
By the way, he ordered his servants to prepare cattle, sheep and fine wine to reward the army.
Led by a tall and strong man with black hair and brown skin, he attacked the Dornish soldiers.
The lord family of Wulin City is the Maitellin family.
Metellin took Lanino's hand with great enthusiasm.
Lanino looked serious and wrote two letters respectively, passing them to Lord Royce of Crow's Nest City and Aemond of Rainforest Station.
Woooooo—
The city gate slowly opened, dozens of knights charged forward, followed by hundreds of infantry.
“Hiss…”
“Sir Lannino, thank you and your dragon Seasmoke!”
Charge in one round, and those killed will lose their armor.
He coughed violently and quickly held onto his shaking helmet.
On the parapet of Wulin City, a large white owl was raised, and a counterattack was launched under loud shouts.
“Haiyan, don't let them escape!”
On the road southwest of the rainforest, a group of thousands of storm knights galloped forward, charging like a torrent of steel.
With the words and deeds of the sea serpent Corliss, Lanino's personal ability cannot be underestimated.
Lannino rode on the back of the dragon and shouted loudly with his eyes shining.
After the war, soldiers cleaned the battlefield and supported the troops entering Wulin City.
Count Meiterin did not dare to neglect and ordered people to get paper and pen.
With a single order, the war can be won.
Even so, nearly two thousand dead souls were still left on the battlefield.
The ugly mud dragon screamed loudly and flapped its broad brown wings as it hovered over the camp.
On weekdays, it is the sheep thief's responsibility to patrol the camp if he has nothing to do.
Strictly supervise every goat in the camp!
In the open space, Aemond looked irritated and held two letters in his hand.
A letter from King's Landing describing a "blind date" held by Aegon and Helena.
Aemond frowned and said displeasedly: "Really, mother, why did you marry your sister off?"
In the entire Red Castle, it was his sister who was the best to him.
My sister was not yet an adult, and my mother forced her to marry outside. It was really too much!
Glancing at Aegon's content on the letter, Aemond curled his lips and threw it away.
If it was a matter about Rhaegar or little Daeron, he could still take a look.
Forget it Aegon.
A guy who only knows how to whore.
When I opened the second letter, my face suddenly wrinkled.
Looking around to make sure no one was prying, Aemond said in disgust: "Why did Lannino win so quickly?"
He also hoped to delay for a while and wear down the defense of Stonehelm City.
He couldn't help but feel sick when he thought about the Shiwen family's attitude of promoting an illegitimate son to the top.
He tore the letter into pieces in two strokes. Aemond sneered disdainfully: "A guy who has given up even blood relatives is not worthy of my rescue."
Throwing shreds of paper into the air, calling out to idle sheep thieves, and riding a dragon to hunt down Dornish people hiding in the rainforest.
The Land of Dorne.
Outside Sunspear City, Flowing Water Garden.
News of the defeat came back one after another, and the luxurious gardens with carved beams and colorful decorations began to look dim.
In a white stone attic, Ke Olun opened his mind and leaned against a stone pillar to think.
As far as the eye can see, it is the center of the garden.
A meandering creek flows, surrounded by rockeries and planted with coconuts and palm trees unique to tropical regions.
Soldiers wearing yellow-brown armor were lined up in order, guarding every corner of the garden.
"whee…"
A little girl with dark hair and dark skin was treading water by the stream, making splashes of water towards the maid.
As if she was tired from playing, the little girl wiped the sweat from her forehead and ran to the attic.
Keolen frowned slightly, thinking in his mind.
“Prince, the war situation in the Stormlands is in decline, and Lord Yronwood has been asking for support.”
A tall young knight reported.
Hearing the sound, Ke Olun turned his head and looked at the other party.
Short light blond hair, violet eyes, a tall body wearing silver armor, and a heavy giant sword hanging behind his back.
The young man's armor is branded with the family crest of "a sword crossed with a shooting star".
This is a noble family with a long history in Dorne that is brave and good at fighting.
The fiefdom is the Dane family of Starfall City.
The Dane family owns a great sword named "Dawn".
It is said that the blade is forged from the heart of the fallen star and is as powerful as Valyrian steel weapons.
The family title "Dawn Sword" is only awarded to knights who are considered qualified to wield the family heirloom sword "Dawn". The tall young man in front of him is the "Dawn Sword" of the Dane family, Davos Dane.
Ke Olun glanced at the Great Sword Dawn, and said with some appreciation: "Don't worry, war depends not only on the number of troops, but also on ravens and intelligence."
Well aware of the dangers of war, he imitated the "Kingsguard" system and called on the knights of Dorne to form an exclusive guard.
Unfortunately, the level is really limited.
In the end, only the skilled Davos Dayne was left as the personal bodyguard.
Davos' purple eyes were solemn and he said in confusion: “Prince, Stonehelm City's defense is empty and should have been breached long ago.”
This young guard suspected that Lord Yronwood, who was leading the battle, was up to something.
“Haha, you underestimate Lord Olifa.”
Ke Olun chuckled and pretended to be mysterious: "To tell you the truth, Stonehelm City was not captured because of my instructions."
"Why?"
Davos was stunned for a moment, full of doubts.
Young people are young after all and do not understand the sophistication of old people.
Keolun crossed his arms and said proudly: "The Targaryens have dragons. We can attack Stonehelm City in one go, but in the end we will still be burned to death by the dragons."
“Rather than being trapped in the city, it is better to wander in the rain forest and take advantage of mountain warfare.”
Davos frowned and asked, "Then when can we win?"
Only fighting guerrilla warfare is a waste of troops.
Ke Olun shook his head and said with deep eyes: "It is useless to capture a castle. What I want is for them to collapse internally and create opportunities for us."
As far as he knew, the coalition forces in the Stormlands were not a monolithic unit.
After a short pause, he asked again: "Is there any news from Braavos?"
Davos quickly replied: "Sea King sent three supply ships, all of which were iron weapons and crossbow bolts."
“Tsk tsk, it's indeed a free trade city-state, it's just rich.”
Keolen clicked his tongue, feeling envious.
On second thought, Braavos supports Dorne with weapons, and it seems that it also supports the Three Women Kingdom with weapons.
Just don't know how chaotic the three city-states can be.
Can you hold back the Targaryen Rhaegar, Daemon and Rhaenys?
Failing that, have Braavos mercenaries attack the ports of Pentos or Westeros.
The bigger the mess, the better.
These three adult dragonborn are unable to escape, and the threat from the dragon masters sent by the Iron Throne is very low.
Davos still didn't know why, so he asked more carefully: “Prince, over there at Misty Forest City…?”
“Don't worry about it, we'll find out soon.”
Ke Olun raised a sneer and said: "In order to deal with that Velaryon, I specially sent people to search in Pentos."
"Father!"
Just as he was talking, Malisandra ran over quickly and threw herself into her father's arms.
“What's the matter, my little princess?”
Ke Olun's smile immediately turned from cold to warm, and he nudged his daughter's face with his chin lovingly.
Alexandra laughed and ducked, appealing: "Father, I want a dragon."
“Ahem…”
Keolen almost choked to death and coughed repeatedly.
A dragon?
My good daughter really dares to speak.
He also wanted a dragon but couldn't find it anywhere.
Keiolen coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, and educated: "The dragon is in the hands of Targaryen, Martell only has a spear and wisdom."
“Then catch me a Targaryen.”
Alexandra's eyes were bright, as if she were wishing on a shooting star.
Ke Olun was helpless and put his daughter down, feeling a little unsatisfied.
Having a bit of fun with my little brat daughter, I slap her **** and tell her to get out.
Looking at Davos who was staring intently again, Ke Olun said seriously: "Inform Earl Uller that the Vulture Mountains can launch a general attack."
If you want to win the war, it is obviously difficult to rely on only one battlefield in Cape Wrath.
Prince's Pass and Bone Road are essential.
The Reach has been rich since ancient times, and Koolen has coveted it for a long time.
“Yes, Prince.”
Davos retreated in response, looking for the maester to release the raven.
Stormland.
That night.
In order to thank the reinforcements for the rescue, Count Metalin held a celebration banquet in Wulin City.
Except for the standing army guarding the city gate, there was a commotion inside the castle.
“Hiss…”
Hai Yan crawled in the back garden, enjoying the goat sent by the attendant.
Coming together, there is also Cole who is looking for a lover.
Lanino left the banquet alone in the middle of the drink and disappeared without a trace.
Cole circled around the light silver sea smoke, but did not see the shadow of Lanino.
“Where did this guy go?”
Cole sighed deeply, dissatisfied with his lover's avoidance.
Ever since the battlefield moved from the Disputed Land to the Storm Land, Lanino could not be caught all day long, and those who didn't know thought he had been abandoned.
He grabbed an attendant and asked, "Have you seen Sir Lanino?"
The attendant was trembling and pointed in a direction.
Without saying a word, Cole looked in that direction.
It is an artificial lake, surrounded by lawns surrounded by several rockeries.
From a distance, I heard a familiar singing voice.
“Bear, bear, bear! All black and brown, covered with plush...”
This is a ballad that is popular among both nobles and common people, "The Bear and the Beautiful Girl".
Col's face lit up, and he recognized that this was Lanino's voice.
After taking two steps, he stopped again.
Because he heard another familiar voice.
Besides Lanino, there was another man singing with him.
Cole's eyes flashed, he came closer and moved the flowers and grass to look at the rockery.
Into the eyes.
Lanino's face was red, his upper body was naked, and he was holding a wine bottle in his hand.
A handsome blond man, also shirtless, held Lanino tightly around his waist.
The two behaved very intimately, as if they were old friends for many years.
Cole's face darkened and turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
He knows the blond man.
At this time, Lannino was very drunk and shouted happily: "Joffrey, congratulations on your return to me."
The blond man had fair skin and started to move his hands and feet constantly.
Lanino felt so comfortable being touched that he continued to sing: "Bear! Bear! People are saying, come and see the beauty!"
