Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

At that moment, Earl Coster Morrigan suddenly turned to look at Onion Knight and asked a question.

Davos's breath hitched slightly, then he turned and stared intently at Earl Coster Morrigan.

His eyes seemed capable of killing, and Davos finally suppressed his urge to draw his sword on the spot, extended his mutilated hand, and spoke earnestly.

“I long to fight for Lord Stannis, but I know I am not good at fighting and cannot give prisoners a fair trial.”

As Davos finished speaking, several soft chuckles suddenly rang out from some corner of the Windbreak Castle hall, and the Earl of Raven's Nest couldn't help but smile as well.

At that moment, a loud roar from a giant dragon suddenly echoed above Windbreak Fortress.

Chapter 530 Submission to Windbreak Fortress

Viserys arrived alone at Storm's End, riding a black dragon.

The trial taking place in the main hall of Storm's End was naturally interrupted, and everyone walked out of the hall, looking up at the sky.

When the enormous black dragon landed, the silver-haired youth riding it jumped off its back. The Stormland nobles and guards below were all somewhat timid and hesitant, and even dared not step forward.

Is he Viserys?

Few people in Storm's End have actually seen Viserys in person, but his signature silver-gold hair, pale purple eyes, handsome face, and the fact that he rode a huge black dragon are enough to prove his identity.

I reckon there's no one else in the world who could fake his identity.

However, they still couldn't quite believe their eyes.

Viserys... is the enemy leader they've been wanting to devour alive and drink his blood all this time.

How did he have the courage to parachute into Windbreak Castle alone?

How did he have the guts?

How dare he...?

The nobles of Stormland exchanged glances, each seeing the shock and fear in the other's eyes.

Viserys arrived too suddenly, and at the perfect time, as if he had predicted that Stannis would die at this moment. Storm's End is now leaderless, and no one can step forward to take control of the situation.

And his audacity is too great. The nobles of Stormland still can't understand how he dared to do it.

However, the more emboldened Viserys became, the more cautious the nobles of Stormlands grew.

What's more, the enormous dragon was lying there, its head raised high, its scarlet eyes looking down at the little ones on the ground.

If they make any sudden move, they will be burned to ashes by the dragon flames in an instant.

Now, all the leaders of Windbreak Fortress were gathered outside the hall, and the dragon's burst of flame could have wiped them all out.

The nobles of Storm's End were terrified, taken aback by Viserys's daring to come alone.

They exchanged glances. Count Morrigan of Raven's Nest tightened his grip on his sword hilt and looked at Count Alexander Stemon of Long Arch.

The other party subtly shook his head at him, signaling him not to act rashly. Meanwhile, Countess Mary Mettal of Mistwood City was also deathly pale.

Their gazes then fell upon Davos the Onion Knight.

“This… Lord Davos…”

It was only at this point that they remembered Davos's excellent communication skills. He was Stannis's most trusted advisor, so the Stormlands nobles wanted to push Davos to the forefront.

Moreover, Onion Knight was the only one among those present who had personally witnessed Viserys.

He had accompanied Stannis on his expedition and participated in the war council of the Twins' human alliance, where he had seen the Young Dragon Lord in person.

However, they saw Davos's ugly expression at this moment, even uglier than when he had just been humiliated by the Earl of Raven's Nest, because the person in front of them was indeed the real Viserys.

Davos then set aside past grievances and stepped forward to take on the responsibility when the nobles of Stormland cowered and retreated.

He took a deep breath, mustered his courage, stepped forward, bowed slightly, and then spoke.

"His Majesty."

"I wonder what brings you to Storm's End so late at night?"

His words directly confirmed the true identity of the calm-looking silver-haired youth in front of him.

He was the new king who had recently been crowned in King's Landing.

"I heard that Stannis is dead."

Viserys had been surveying the environment inside Storm's End ever since he jumped off the dragon's back.

This place truly deserves its reputation as the most fortified fortress in the Seven Kingdoms. Viserys visited Storm's End when he was a child.

He was urging the fleet to leave Dragonstone to avoid the last remaining Targaryen fleet being destroyed in the storm.

Ultimately, the fleet commander heeded the Little Prince's advice and dispatched a fleet to raid Storm's End, causing the hugely expensive Baratheon royal fleet to be stillborn and sink entirely in the harbor, thus also escaping the largest storm surge in the Narrow Sea.

However, at that time Viserys was on the deck, and from the outside, Storm's End looked like a fist rising into the sky, standing firm in the storm.

Now, Viserys has parachuted directly into the interior of Storm's End. All his enemies are terrified of him, who are all alone and dare not even look him in the eye.

This extreme gap occurred in just about ten years.

A great dynasty rises and falls, eventually collapsing, while a new, great dynasty gradually rises, just like Windbreak Castle standing firm in the storm, enduring all wind and rain.

Viserys, riding his dragon, felt a distinct sense of oppression as soon as he entered the skies above Storm's End, and Belerien felt the same way.

It seems that the rumors of Windbreak Keep being protected by magic are not unfounded; it has never been breached by outsiders in thousands of years.

However, even the strongest fortress will eventually collapse from within, just like the death of Stannis.

Viserys's casual remark made Davos's breath catch in his throat. He glanced at Baron Sven, then suppressed his emotions and tried to ask calmly.

"Could it be that Baron Sven is an assassin sent by His Majesty?"

Since Viserys knew that Stannis would die tonight, wouldn't Baron Swin, the murderer, be connected to Viserys?

However, Baron Sven, whose hands were still bound, looked bewildered when he heard his words.

He was straightforward and single-minded, solely focused on avenging his brother; he was definitely not sent by Viserys to assassinate Stannis.

"Do not."

"Baron Sven was not an assassin I sent out."

"Do you think I need to resort to such petty tricks to deal with Stannis now?"

The silver-haired youth surveyed the scenery within Windbreak Fortress before speaking calmly.

“If I wanted to kill him this way, he would already be dead.”

He noticed the various timid expressions on the faces of the people emerging from the main hall of Storm's End not far away, and then his gaze returned to Onion Knight.

He never imagined that such a large place as Storm's End would require the Onion Knight, a smuggler by trade and even a man with a hand disability, to step forward.

"I saw it with my own eyes."

Viserys then pointed to his eyes and spoke seriously, before patting him on the shoulder and walking alone into the hall of Storm's End. He wanted to see Stannis.

Surprisingly, none of the nobles and soldiers of Stormland dared to stop him; they all hurriedly made way, leaving only the Onion Knight standing there dumbfounded.

Chapter 531 Star Shuttle City

Viserys surrendered Storm's End alone.

When the nobles of the Stormlands met His Majesty the King, the 'Conqueror' who had established a new nation, they buried their heads in the ground like ostriches, not daring to utter a sound.

Viserys sat in the Great Hall of Storm's End, Stannis's body displayed in the center.

The nobles of Stormlands slunk away in the corner of the hall. It was only when Viserys remembered them and called their names that they finally came out, trembling.

So many things happened that night that they are worthy of being recorded in history and become part of the historical tide for future generations to comment on.

Nowadays, besides mocking the three Stormland nobles who were used as a backdrop, people also have a great deal of awe for this young king.

The submission of one man to a city is enough to become a great legend, and it was only then that people truly realized that Viserys's process of unifying the seven kingdoms seemed to be unstoppable.

A few days after Viserys conquered Storm's End alone, the Targaryen army finally arrived, officially unifying the land and incorporating Stormlands into the kingdom's territory.

...

On the other side...

Viserys's powerful family, Queen Arianne's maternal relatives, and the Dornish army, after suffering a defeat at Highgarden, retreated over a hundred miles back to Starshuttle.

Starstalk is the only route from the Dornish frontier to Highgarden.

After winning the Battle of the Frontier and capturing Nightsong, the Dornish army marched straight for Highgarden, besieging the beautiful garden castle. Starshuttle, a city on the Dornish army's route, was naturally not spared.

However, Count Titus Baker of Starshort was quite decisive; when the Dornish army arrived, he immediately knelt and surrendered.

Anyway, there's no way to stop them. The Dornish army's goal is Highgarden, and they are just an insignificant stumbling block in the Dornish army's path.

Moreover, Count Titus Back had some distant relatives on the Iron Throne side…

Lesville Baker is an exiled lord of the Golden Company and also a commander of the Golden Company.

However, he did not follow Viserys to the Stormlands. Instead, after the Golden Company recaptured King's Landing, he soon took on a new mission and left, sailing straight to Dorne.

Leswell Back accepted orders from Princess Rhaenys, who was then sitting on the Iron Throne, to act as the representative between the Targaryen army and Dorne, responsible for communication and coordination between the two sides.

Leswell Baker gladly accepted the order and led his two brothers, Tauman Baker and Parkwood Baker, to Dorn.

Dorne then launched a war to attack the frontier, but the frontier lords united to fight against the invaders and were eventually defeated.

Before this battle, Lesville Peck had contacted his distant relative Titus Peck of Starshort City, hoping that he could launch a surprise attack on the frontier army from the rear.

However, Titus firmly rejected this proposal. Firstly, he had not initially favored his exiled "poor relative," and secondly, Titus still had great confidence in his lord, the Tyrell family.

He had not expected the Frontier army to be defeated so quickly, and he had not expected that after the Dornish conquered Nightsong, they would not continue their attack on the Frontier, but instead head straight for Highgarden.

Then, when Titus panicked and went to his 'poor relative' Leswell Baker, the situation reversed, and Leswell became arrogant and haughty.

Meanwhile, Titus's wife, Margot Lannister, also suffered a terrible fate. Leswell had long coveted this beautiful blonde-haired woman, and Titus humiliatingly handed his wife over to Leswell's room.

The reason is that Lesville claims His Majesty the King dislikes the Lannisters, even though Margot Lannister, Countess of Starshort, is only a collateral member of the Lannister family.

The Lesville and Pecker brothers lived a life of revelry every night, while Count Titus endured humiliation and became the laughingstock of countless people, all for the sake of his own survival and the continuation of his family's legacy.

However, just when Lord Titus thought he had secured the support of Dorne and the Targaryen family by sacrificing one of his wives, devastating news suddenly arrived from the front lines.

The renowned 'Guardian of the Stone Road', Lord Anders Erenwood, was attacked by the Hightower army while leading the Dornish army in its siege of Highgarden.
