Marquis Walder Frey committed suicide by jumping into the river, successfully breaking the previous records set by the Earl of Goldtooth and the Earl of Hearth.

However, this method of refreshing is not very honorable, but it has become an interesting little-known fact in humanity's war against the White Walkers.

The historic and significant meeting between Viserys and Robert Baratheon ultimately yielded some results.

The two sides reached a series of verbal agreements, such as cooperation in fighting the White Walkers, and they both knew what the future held after the war against the White Walkers would end.

After the talks concluded, Viserys boarded his dragon and left the battlefield of the Green Fork River, flying back to White Harbor through the Neck Marsh.

His main force of 20,000 Dothraki cavalry remained in White Harbor on standby.

The fighting here has temporarily ended, but the turmoil in Westeros is far from over.

Prince Doran remained firmly seated in Sunspear, while the Dornish army began to mobilize in large numbers, deploying troops to Prince's Pass and seriously threatening the safety of the frontier nobles.

Meanwhile, the Rose of Highgarden tensed up and summoned its vassals to discuss countermeasures. At the same time, it sought help from Storm's End, hoping to receive Storm's Lands' aid should war break out between the Reach and Dorne.

Unfortunately, the Tyrell family's plea for help went unanswered after it was sent to Storm's End.

Mace Tyrell, Duke of Highgarden, was extremely anxious. At this moment, he suddenly missed his beloved general, Randyll Tarly, Earl of Hornhill.

If the renowned Southern General Randy Tarly were here, Dorne would likely not be so presumptuous, and he also harbors many grievances against Lord Renly of Storm's End.

House Tyrell has made an alliance with House Baratheon, and once Margaery Tyrell, the daughter of 'Little Rose of Highgarden,' has her first menstruation, she will be able to marry Joffrey, the prince of House Baratheon.

The two powerful families, having joined forces, should have supported each other in times of crisis. However, Duke Mace did not expect Renly to be so weak and cowardly, and to be so frightened by Dorne that he stayed indoors.

However, a few days later, news from King's Landing reached Highgarden, and Mace Tyrell realized what had happened that had left Storm's End preoccupied with its own problems.

It turned out that a fleet traveling between Westeros and Essos had brought explosive news.

Viserys III, the 'false king' of Pentos across the Narrow Sea, has decided to send troops to Westeros.

It was impossible to keep the departure of tens of thousands of troops from the port of Pentos a secret, especially with the presence of two dragons. Therefore, the news had already spread to King's Landing long before the army arrived in Westeros.

With the army of another continent pressing in, the people of Junlin were immediately filled with fear and unease.

However, the news of the death of Jon Arryn, the regent and prime minister, could no longer be concealed, and now Queen Cersei was sitting on the Iron Throne as regent.

There were even rumors that Queen Cersei had sent someone to kill the King's Hand, claiming that it was because Lord Jon Snow had found evidence of incest between the Queen and her brother.

Cersei ordered a complete blockade of news of the Targaryen army crossing the sea, strictly prohibiting any leaks. The city gates were kept closed, only opening at set times, and a curfew was enforced. She maintained a high-pressure regime, forbidding the spread of rumors; those who violated the order were all hung from the city walls and left to rot in the sun.

Under the orders of the Regent Queen, King's Landing became a complete coward, ignoring the source of the information and failing to send out any fleets to investigate at sea.

The following day, on Dragonstone.

It was an ordinary morning, with a gentle breeze and bright sunshine.

wow-

The surging waves constantly crashed and washed against the island's rocks, and the magnificent, all-black castle stood tall on Dragonstone.

This castle is entirely built of black stone, a technique of stonemasonry that has been lost in Valyria, which makes it different from the castles in Westeros.

Above the main tower of Dragonstone, the banner of House Baratheon flies, with a black crowned stag on a gold background.

This is a fiefdom belonging to a branch of House Baratheon, owned by Stannis Baratheon, who was created Duke of Dragonstone after the War of the Usurper.

Stannis has been away from Dragonstone for a long time now, having answered his brother's call to fight the White Walkers.

His youngest daughter, Shirin, who is only four years old, has even forgotten what her father looks like.

Today, little Shireen Baratheon is having breakfast at a restaurant with her mother, Celis Floren.

However, at this very moment...

A melodious and desolate horn sounded suddenly from the sea, followed by a flurry of alarms from Dragonstone Castle, with bells and horns ringing out simultaneously.

bang——

At the same time, a Baratheon guard hurriedly pushed open the dining room door and walked in, startling Celis and her daughter who were having their meal.

"Madam, something terrible has happened!"

Celeste Florence's expression showed slight displeasure, but the Duchess of Dragonstone possessed very good aristocratic manners.

She heard the warning horn and realized something had happened, so instead of blaming the guards, she put down her spoon and patiently asked.

What's happening outside?

Why is it so rough and sloppy?

However, before the guard could even offer an explanation,

Just then.

boom--

A loud bang suddenly came from above the dining room where the mother and daughter were staying at Dragonstone Castle.

It was as if some enormous creature had landed on the castle; dust fell from above, startling everyone inside.

Four-year-old Shireen Baratheon was immediately frightened and cried, while her mother, Celeste Florence, was also terrified, her face pale and her expression somewhat panicked.

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

On the sea.

The entire sea area was densely covered with warships, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Every ship flew high the Targaryen flag and the emblem of the Golden Company.

Princess Rhaenys Targaryen of the new dynasty personally descended upon Dragonstone Castle on her green dragon Rhaegal.

The dragon stepped on the castle and let out a deafening roar.

The Dragonstone garrison was terrified and trembled, then laid down their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

Chapter 397 Conquest of Dragonstone

"Roar--"

The dragon's roar sent tremors through Dragonstone. The servants in the castle fled in terror, trembling. The mother and daughter on Dragonstone hid in the dining room, too afraid to show themselves.

The defenders of Dragonstone were also somewhat panicked. Then, seeing the overwhelming number of warships heading towards Dragonstone, their faces finally showed despair. They laid down their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

Renes personally led the Golden Company and easily captured Dragonstone. The garrison on Dragonstone surrendered without any resistance.

The Golden Company soldiers then successfully landed and took control of the entire Dragonstone Island.

"Her divine might descended from the heavens, unmatched by anyone."

The commander of the Golden Company, Mistoin, was wearing heavy plate armor and a black cloak draped over his back.

He stepped onto the muddy ground of Dragonstone Island's coast, looked up at the volcano crater overhead billowing white smoke, and couldn't help but sigh.

Dragons soared through the sky, Dragonstone volcano billowed thick smoke, and endless warships stretched as far as the eye could see. Large numbers of heavily armed soldiers were poised for battle. For a moment, Misthorne felt as if he were in the midst of the grand spectacle three hundred years ago, on the eve of Aegon's conquest of Westeros.

Dragon Knight Renis also stood on the shore, wearing custom-made women's armor, with long brown hair, a black and red cloak draped over her shoulders, a dragon head badge, and a longsword at her waist, looking very dashing.

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Mistoin, but I am still far from being as good as my brother."

She heard Misty Toyn's praise, then shook her head and said humbly.

When Mistoin heard the princess's words, she turned her head slightly and glanced at her. She did know that sometimes the princess would address His Majesty as 'elder brother'.

This is not surprising, after all, the eldest princess is a few years older than the other regent princess.

"So, what are Your Highness's next steps...?"

The Unsullied commander, Black Bug, stood beside Renis with his hands behind his back, listening to the two of them talk without saying a word.

In this expedition, Viserys led the Dothraki to the front lines, and the escort fleet was Euron Greyjoy's Iron Fleet.

On Reines' side, she personally led a Golden Company army of over ten thousand men, and also selected two thousand Unsullied as the princess's personal guards to protect her, escorted by the Dragonstone fleet of Lord Geoffrey Brecken, the Minister of the Sea.

Viserys's plan was not without reason; his area, teeming with demons, was a hellish difficulty instance.

Not only were the enemies they faced terrifying, but their own soldiers, whether Dothraki, the Iron Fleet, or Euron Greyjoy, were no pushovers either.

He worried that Reines wouldn't be able to control these people.

Therefore, Viserys himself took charge of everything, and he left Renis with relatively simple beginner-level tasks.

With the dragon Rego, the loyal Unsullied protecting them, and the old man Earl Jeffrey Brecken, the Golden Company is as gentle as a lamb compared to the Dothraki and Euron.

Renis's first major task after conquering Dragonstone was to establish a supply line between Pentos and Dragonstone, ensuring that the army could advance without any worries about its rear.

"Over here!"

"careful!"

The soldiers of the Gold Regiment walked around, busily loading and unloading war supplies.

Then, led by Unsullied soldiers clad in new dragonscale armor and full weaponry, Princess Reyne walked at the head of the procession, followed by Mis Thoin, commander of the Golden Company, as they ascended the long staircase to the Black Castle located on Dragonstone.

Renis spent her childhood here, and she was extremely familiar with every flower, every blade of grass, every tree, and every stone. However, as time passed, her memories of the past became blurred.

"The changes are too great."

Since Stannis arrived at Dragonstone, all items and brocades related to House Targaryen in the castle have been taken down and replaced with the banners of House Baratheon.

"Your Highness."

Outside the castle gates, two fully armed Unsullied soldiers stood ready.

Renis's personal guard, the Unsullied, had taken control of the castle. All the Dragonstone garrison had been disarmed and imprisoned by the Golden Company soldiers.

The Unsullied soldiers bowed slightly in greeting upon seeing Renis and her entourage, then turned and opened the castle gates for the princess.

Rumbling--

The metal castle gates opened slowly with a dull thud.

If the defenders of Dragonstone hadn't immediately surrendered upon seeing the dragon descend, breaching the castle would likely have required considerable effort.

Renes stood outside the city gates but did not rush in. Instead, she paused, looking at the brocade of the Baratheon family's crowned stag fluttering overhead.

He then reached out, took it out, glanced at it in his hand, and threw it on the ground before speaking to the Unsullied soldier.

"Clean all these things up, but don't waste them. Distribute them to the island's residents to make some clothes."

"Compared to the emblems on silk, the common people know better who is truly good to them."
