One was the king's most trusted brother, the designated next Hand of the King, while the other was the king's own brother, who also had considerable support within the coalition.

However, Robert's absence while he was in a coma caused him to miss the best opportunity, allowing Tywin to seize the position of commander-in-chief, making it much more difficult for him to take back power.

And at this time.

Suddenly, horns sounded from the walls of the Twin Rivers.

woo-

The melodious and desolate sound of the horn quickly spread throughout the entire sky.

Soldiers of the allied forces and nobles of the seven kingdoms emerged as the Dothraki army appeared on the horizon, prompting the sounding of the horns.

Rumbling--

The thunderous sound of hooves shook the earth slightly. The seemingly endless Dothraki army appeared in the sight of the allied soldiers like a whirlwind sweeping away flying grass, and then arrived in the blink of an eye.

The Dothraki arrived at the foot of the Twins, separated by the rushing river and a towering drawbridge.

The Twins' stone arch bridge is protected by two castles, towering walls, a deep moat, and heavy oak-inlaid iron gates.

Viserys, still clad in Valyrian steel armor, rode a white horse at the very front of the formation.

He then reined in his horse and looked up at the walls of the Twins. He saw Tywin Lannister, Eddard Stark, and Stannis, but he did not see Robert.

Viserys frowned slightly, then, holding the reins with one hand below the city, he asked.

"Where is Robert?"

"Make him come out and see me."

However, at that moment, the sound of giant crossbows firing suddenly erupted from the walls of the Twins.

bang——

A spear suddenly shot out, moving at great speed and emitting a sharp whistling sound as it pierced the air, heading straight for Viserys, who was riding a white horse below the city wall.

Viserys, standing below the city, raised an eyebrow, a glint of light flashing in his pale purple eyes. He then drew his twilight sword from his waist and slightly turned to face the direction from which the spear was flying.

click -

Then, with a single sword stroke, he cleaved the incoming giant crossbow in two.

However, at that moment, a painful roar suddenly came from the sky above.

Dozens of huge crossbow bolts suddenly shot out from the walls of the Twins, one of which struck Bellerion in the chest, splattering dragon blood onto the ground.

Chapter 423 Excuse

"Roar--"

Bellerion was hit by an arrow, but the wound was not deep. The dragon roared and its huge wings flapped.

Call ~

Then a torrent of dragonfire was spewed at the spot where the crossbow bolt had struck, melting it instantly into ashes.

Then he slightly shook the thick scales on his body, and black mist immediately rose from the wound, beginning to repair his body, just like when he was injured in the last battle with the demonized dragon.

But compared to the last time he fought a dragon much larger than himself, this minor injury was like being pricked by a needle.

Someone in the coalition might have thought that the giant crossbow could snipe the dragon and Viserys, but the result was the opposite.

Instead of killing Balerlain, he enraged the Black Death, and Viserys shattered the crossbow bolt with a single sword strike.

Viserys dared to ride alone to the city walls because he knew that even if the enemy had any tricks up their sleeve, they couldn't harm him.

He even had a slight intention to lure the other party into attacking him, and in fact, he was extremely vigilant.

He needed an excuse to turn against them, and that excuse was presented to him in front of countless allied soldiers, with the intention of attacking them from the shadows. It was only natural and reasonable for Viserys to seek revenge.

"Roar--"

Bellerion's roar sent shivers down the spines of the Twins.

Then the enormous, sky-covering figure swooped down, unleashing a torrent of overwhelming dragon flames.

Rumbling--

Dragonfire raged against the walls of Twin Rivers, and countless allied soldiers were burned to ashes as they screamed in agony.

"Ahhh-"

Some soldiers, their bodies ablaze, jumped from the city walls and fell to their deaths below, while others jumped into the water but drowned in the Green Fork River.

The Allied soldiers survived the nightmare of the White Walker invasion, but unexpectedly perished in dragonfire due to the fickleness of human nature.

Meanwhile, the nobles of the seven kingdoms on the city walls, including Tywin Lannister, who was now acting as the commander of the allied forces, hurriedly fled down the walls under the escort of guards.

"Protect the adults!"

"quick!"

"Get out!"

In fact, when the crossbow bolt hit Bellerion but failed to kill the dragon, they knew something was wrong.

If we had been even a fraction later, we would probably have been burned to ashes by the dragon flames.

"Who gave the order?!"

Why attack a dragon?

The man with dark brown hair and the Ice Wolf Clan crest on his chest was also enraged.

Escorted by soldiers from the North, he hurried down the city wall and ran into Tywin Lannister, the acting commander of the Allied Forces.

Immediately, Eddard Stark, the Duke of Winterfell, strode forward, grabbed Tywin by the collar, and angrily questioned him.

Clang——

Clang——

When the Lannister soldiers behind Tywin saw their master being threatened by being grabbed by the collar, they immediately drew their swords and shouted.

"stop!"

"Release Lord Tywin!"

The soldiers of the West drew their swords, and the soldiers of the North who followed Eddard Stark were naturally fearless as well.

"What are you doing!"

Although their armor was not as luxurious as that of the Western Frontier soldiers, their fiery tempers and bravery were even greater, so they all drew their longswords.

The scene instantly became tense, with swords flashing and weapons clashing.

Tywin, whose collar had been grabbed by Eddard Stark, also looked rather displeased. Such an action was extremely rude and could even provoke a duel.

Ed is usually arrogant and aloof, but he rarely behaves so rudely. He seems extremely angry now.

Tywin, unaware of Eddard's background, but recalling Eddard's past feat of slaying Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning, immediately backed down.

He's too old to fight against young people.

Tywin was thus deeply humiliated, but for the time being he could only swallow his anger and try to speak calmly with the enraged Eddard Stark.

"Lord Ed, could you please let go of me?"

Tywin Lannister looked at the Duke of Winterfell and then spoke.

The man with dark brown hair also looked at the other person, took a deep breath, and finally reason prevailed over impulse.

He didn't want to start an internal conflict while he was away from home.

Then Eddard suddenly released Tywin's collar, giving the Duke of Casterly Rock a moment to catch his breath.

"grown ups."

"grown ups."

The guards quickly helped the somewhat disheveled Duke Tywin.

Tywin Lannister waved his hand slightly, took a few deep breaths, straightened his collar which had just been grabbed, and then spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Lord Ed."

"Do you think Viserys will let us go if we don't take action against him?"

Tywin's words instantly calmed Eddard, who was still furious.

"You, Jon Arryn, Hoster Tully, and His Majesty, along with the combined forces of the North, the Vale, the Riverlands, and the Stormlands, overthrew his father's dynasty and drove the Targaryens from the Iron Throne..."

"My hands are also stained with the blood of the Targaryen family."

Tywin Lannister's eyes gleamed as he once again took the initiative to walk up to Eddard Stark.

This made the Northern soldiers standing behind the Duke of Winterfell tense up, and Tywin continued to press for answers.

"And now he's back."

The slightly balding blond man pointed outside.

Do you think he'll let us go?

Ed fell completely silent; he had only come over impulsively.

He even harbored a faint hope that he could avoid conflict with Viserys and resolve the issue through negotiation.

He was even willing to wear black as the ringleader in exchange for Viserys not attacking Westeros.

However, it now seems that this path was blocked from the very beginning, and was even somewhat naive.

"so what?"

"Lord Tywin, you attempted to harm someone through dishonorable means, and what did you ultimately achieve?"

After calming down, Ed asked in return, "Although I don't approve of attacking someone from behind, I've done it anyway. But the fact that I didn't kill the person I attacked from behind is a bit too awkward."

boom--

Flames shot into the sky overhead, and dragon flames spewed onto the walls of the Twins. A large number of allied soldiers screamed in agony, while the two below also paled.

“This was my oversight, Lord Ed.”

“I thought the giant crossbow could snipe the dragon, since the Dornish had shot Miracis at the Gates of Hell, and that was the only way to deal with the dragon.”
