Chapter 382 Aemond of Storm's End

Chapter 382 Aemond of Storm’s End

 That night, the moon and stars were sparse.

 In Banzhi Town, the formerly prosperous port was empty, and red bonfires lit up the night.

Ke Olen led a group of Dornish soldiers in tawny armor and looked at the lights on the vast sea.

As far as the eye can see, hundreds of warships sail into the mist on the sea, like a swarm of sand scorpions swarming out of their nests.

Dornish people are free-spirited and do whatever they say they will do.

 Meet the war during the day and send out troops directly at night.

Keolun stood with his hands behind his hands, a smile on his lips: "Lis reenacted the Battle of the Hundred Candles, which really created unprecedented conditions for Dorne."

At the time of the Narrow Sea War, the main forces of the Iron Throne were outside the Narrow Sea, and the garrison forces in various places had no support.

That madman Daemon and the young crown prince are in the disputed land. The Targaryens left in Westeros are just a group of women, children and the elderly who have never been on the battlefield.

This unyielding will to injure one thousand enemies and destroy eight hundred was the fundamental factor that enabled Dorne to become independent in the first war of conquest.

This is the eldest son of Keolen, two years younger than Alexandra.

Be brave and good at war, and have great resourcefulness. The key is to be willing to follow the advice of vassals to launch wars and maintain the martial customs of the Dornish people.

As long as Tyrosh could withstand the pressure of the Iron Throne's army to besieged and not attack, the Dornish army immediately attacked on three fronts and drove straight into the territories of the Stormlands and the Reach.

 At the beginning of the war, the Uller family betrayed the lord Yronwood family and severely damaged the other party.

The nine free trade city-states are almost all colonies enslaved by Ancient Valyria, and their vitality is surprisingly tenacious after taking control of the ports.

 Three-masted warships rode the wind and waves, with Dornish flags such as the sun-piercing spear and the black portcullis flying high in the cabins.

 It is not a problem that the political structure is destroyed and the city-states are occupied.

Ke Olun lowered his head and saw his daughter's angry face.

 Before Dorne was unified by the Martell family, the Yronwood family was recognized as the strongest family, known as the "noble of blood, guardian of the stone road".

Behind Alexandra, a 4 or 5-year-old boy with black hair, brown skin, and a thin face was shivering, his face turned blue by the sea breeze.

“Prince, let’s go back.”

Hearing this, Ke Olun's eyes were deep and he said forcefully: "We need to take a long-term view. Our front line does not extend to Cape Wrath."

 Cape Wrath, on the cliff near the sea.

Alexandra wore a thick ermine waistcoat and tugged at her father's sleeves.

A middle-aged man with black hair and gray eyes spoke.

 As long as there are rich people and common people who resist being colonized, the actions against the invaders will never stop.

Haman Uller followed with a big belly and asked as he walked: "Prince, there are only a bunch of women left at Storm's End. You asked Olivier to send troops. Isn't this giving away the credit?"

The warrior queen of Rhoynar, Nymeria, led thousands of ships to sail westward, married Morse of the Martell family, and started the internal war to rule Dorne.

Led by a magnificent warship, Olivier was wearing iron armor and standing on the deck looking straight at a sea cliff.

The people of Myr and Lys rebelled repeatedly, holding back the Targaryen's uncrowned queen and young crown prince.

The Uller family is a vassal family under the Yronwood family.

Blue eyes with a cold glow, like a night owl in the dark night.

“Father, my brother is almost numb from the cold, let’s go back.”

Taking advantage of this great opportunity, Dorne sends troops to sweep across the Stormlands and the Reach, and the Iron Throne will inevitably be in chaos.

Ke Olun's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, and he said to himself: "Bambaro, Bambaro, you die well. Lys does not fall, and Dorne will not be able to seize the opportunity to send troops."

Keolun grabbed his son's face and said with a smile: "Olivier has left, let's go too."

Morse Martell died in the Unification War, and Nymeria completed the war and captured the then king of Yronwood.

He is tall and bloated, with sparse black curly hair, a full beard, and gray eyes that are constantly shining.

The Iron Throne conquered two city-states with overwhelming force, so why not get two hot potatoes?

The Braavos side will unite with other Free Cities to put pressure on the Iron Throne.

It seemed like a normal inquiry, but there was a hint of complaint in his voice.

 The famous ancient family in Dorn, the Uller family of Hellgate Castle.

 At that time, the Iron Throne will be in a dilemma whether it attacks Tyrosh or returns to aid Westeros.

 Prince Keolen is already a ruler who satisfies the expectations of his subjects in Dorne.

 This conflict continues to this day, and remains raging under Martell's rule.

In addition, there is a 3-year-old daughter who is weak and did not bring her.

Haman choked and followed the team honestly.

“Commander, there is only one watchtower on the cliff, which can be climbed using a hook lock.”

 A dark-skinned young man with full armor came over and reported respectfully.

Olivi looked around at the sea around him. Vast fog was rising at night, and visibility could only be maintained within one mile.

 They avoided the patrol fleet of the Swan family and gave up attacking from the dock where the family was located.

Fighting head-on will only waste casualties, so avoiding the edge is the best policy.

After reviewing it many times in his mind, Olivier pulled out his scimitar and ordered: "Climb the cliff with elite troops and destroy the defenders in the watchtower!"

"yes!…"

The chief gave the order, and several small boats quietly approached the cliff and swung their hooks to hang on the cliff hundreds of feet high.

 Everything was ready, and dozens of Dornish elites began to climb.

Olivier looked from a distance, the fog blocked his sight, and he could only vaguely see a bunch of firelight in the watchtower.

 Half an hour later.

The fire dimly extinguished, and two fires rose up and swayed across each other.

 This is a signal that the invasion is successful.

Olivi was overjoyed, but remained calm on the surface, shouting: "Follow me to climb the cliff and take a detour to attack Stonehelm City!"

 More than twenty warships approached the cliff, and thousands of Dornish soldiers climbed up the rock.

The rest of the fleet pulled anchor and sailed away, heading towards the dock of Stonehelm City.

 All the way to the sea, attacking from both sides.

 …

 The next day, it was still dark.

The battle at the dock of Shiheleng City was defeated, and all the defenses on the road were eliminated by sneak attacks.

 The garrison soldiers were defeated across the board and retreated to the Stonehelm City of House Swin to defend themselves against the Dornish siege. The Dornishmen came out almost in full force, and the attack strategy was so cunning that the original arrangement could not withstand it at all.

 In the end, tens of thousands of Dornish soldiers gathered from all directions and surrounded Stonehelm City, which was made of blue rocks.

Earl Sven strictly guarded the city gate and sent out a dozen ravens to ask for help.

 …

 Storm's End.

                               …

In the vestibule of the castle, an ugly brown mud-colored dragon was crawling on the ground, its withered head looking around.

                                      

More than a dozen goats were bleating and wagging their fat buttocks as they were driven nearby.

Aemond had a stinky face, holding the sheep whip in his hand, and muttered to the dragon: "Eat, eat, you ugly thing."

                               …

The sheep thief suddenly stood up, his brown mud-colored wings spread wide, and his mud-covered neck stretched out.

The vertical pupils first glanced at the silver-haired boy arrogantly, then opened the dragon's kiss and sprayed out dragon flames to roast the sheep.

Crawling slowly with its wings on the ground, it lowered its head to pick up the burnt mutton and gnaw on it.

Aemond curled his lips and took a few steps closer to touch the dragon scales.

 The scales of the sheep thief are not smooth, but rather like rough stone bumps.

 But he didn’t have any other dragon touch, so he had to make do with it.

                            bang!

As soon as he got close, the long and thick dragon tail swung at him, knocking him upside down.

Eamond felt his eyes blur as the blue sky entered his eyes, and then he fell back to the ground silkily.

 “Sheep thief!”

The air froze for a few seconds, and Aemond roared at the top of his lungs.

                               …

The sheep thief shook his head and ate the mutton in one go, ignoring the stupid silver-haired boy.

  When there was no response for a long time, Aemond turned around and got up from the ground. He pointed at the ugly dragon and hesitated for a long time before returning to the castle angrily.

 Not obedient at all!

Enter the castle gate and bump into Cassandra in a pink and white dress.

 “Aemond, where are you going?”

 “You need to take care of it, stupid woman!”

   …”

As soon as Cassandra opened her mouth, she was almost out of breath from her fiancé.

The two of them passed by each other, and Emond went upstairs angrily, with no intention of talking to each other.

Kassandra looked back at him, tears welling up in her eyes.

 Aegon of Targaryen was a libertine and did not want to marry their sisters.

Unexpectedly, Prince Aemond appeared to be gentle and generous on the surface, but his true colors were revealed as soon as he got engaged.

Political marriage really cannot be mixed with any emotion.

 …

Eamond went straight back to the room and slammed the door shut.

 He just had to worry about whether his so-called fiancée would be sad or angry.

His mission is to achieve a marriage, not to be a good husband who is always attentive and caring.

What's more, the target is a self-righteous and stupid woman, even worse than her sister Helena, who always looks dull.

Walked to the bedside, raised his head and flopped down on the soft goose feather bed.

As soon as the fair skin of the neck touched the fabric, a damp coolness hit her instantly.

 “Damn place!”

Aemond turned sideways and cursed irritably.

Although the Red Keep is also built near the sea, the castle has been repaired by Maegor I and Jaehaerys I. It has a grand appearance and is comfortable to live in.

Storm's End is a thousand-year-old castle, standing on the sea, surrounded by rough waves on all sides.

 When it rains, water will seep into the fireplace, and you can imagine how humid it is.

 After tossing and turning for a while, Aemond lay back on his back, staring blankly at the bluestone ceiling.

 Storm's End is a strategic location and receives countless letters every day.

He learned the information about the establishment of twin castles on the Stepstone Islands, as well as the overwhelming success of his elder brother Rhaegar in capturing Myr and Lys.

 It seems that it won’t be long before Tyrosh will surrender to his eldest brother Rhaegar.

 “I really want to go to the battlefield~”

Aemond was full of resentment and said depressedly: "Aegon has a castle, and I can only guard this poor place."

 The Dragonstone Castle built by the eldest brother Rhaegar is still two twin castles in one.

 He is dying of acidity!

  咚咚…

There was a knock on the door, and the urgent voice of Bachelor Fit came from outside the door:

 “Prince, a distress letter from Stonehelm City.”

 Emond's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the carp started to **** and shouted: "Come in quickly."

Crunch—

The door of the room opened, and the young Bachelor Fit came in and handed over the opened letter: "The Dornish people invaded in large numbers, and Stonehelm City was besieged. My lady asked me to call you to discuss it."

Aemond grabbed the letter and looked at it with a frown.

It is nothing more than Lord Sven's request for help, which shows that the Dornish people landed on land at night, hoping that Storm's End Castle would mobilize troops to support them.

 “Hehe~”

A scornful smile appeared on Emond's face: "Sven family, are you afraid at this time?"

 He has not forgotten that Earl Sven supported the illegitimate son to ascend to the throne.

“Prince, you’d better go to the hall to meet the lady first.”

 Maester Fite avoids the important and ignores the easy, giving advice.

"certainly."

Eamond jumped out of bed and walked out struttingly, saying proudly: "Finally I have a place to use myself."
