Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

The reinforcements from Oldtown, working together with the Tyrell army of Highgarden, defeated the Dornish forces.

Subsequently, the Reach army did not allow the Dornish army to withdraw safely. The Dornish army retreated all the way to Starshort before regaining its footing.

Titus was thunderstruck when he heard the news. He hadn't expected that when he was on the Reach's side, the Reach would suffer a defeat. He then quickly sided with Dorne, and Dorne also suffered a defeat.

However, no matter where in the world, no one will show mercy when facing a traitor. Just when Titus was at his wit's end, a servant from the castle suddenly approached him.

It turns out that this servant was actually a spy planted by the Tyrell family in Starshort.

Vilas the Lame, the de facto commander of the Reach army and heir to Highgarden, tells Titus through this informant that if Titus does one thing, he will forgive Titus's betrayal and rescue his wife...

...

That night, in Star Shuttle City.

"Father."

Sir Roger Elion of Divine Grace City sat at the table, one hand resting on the hilt of his sword.

Meanwhile, his father-in-law, Lord Anders Erenwood, commander of the Dornish army, remained engrossed in studying the map.

Since the defeat in the Battle of Highgarden, Anders had been unable to sleep for several nights, a fact that his son-in-law, Roger Elion, found worrying.

He wasn't worried about his father-in-law's health, but rather that if his powerful father-in-law fell from grace, his own interests would be harmed.

Moreover, the Dornish army is not in good shape right now. The losses at the Battle of Highgarden were greater than anyone imagined. If they were to suffer a defeat and return to Dornish in disgrace, Prince Doran would be furious...

“Father, perhaps we should consider Velas’s suggestion…”

Rogé Elion looked at his father-in-law's expression and then tentatively spoke.

The army of the River Bend has now completely surrounded Star Shuttle City.

While the nominal commander of the Reach army was Lord Mace Tyrell, Warden of the South, everyone knew that the commander of the Reach army was actually Lord Mace Tyrell's eldest son, Velas Tyrell.

He combined the armies of House Hightower and House Tyrell, and led his troops to besiege Starshort, presenting himself as if he intended to devour the entire Dornish army in one fell swoop.

He also proposed the idea of ​​peace talks.

If Anders Elenwood were to surrender, the Tyrell family would be willing to help the Elenwood family defeat the Martell family, seize Sunspear, and restore the Elenwood family's former glory as the 'High Kings of Dorne'.

Chapter 532 Siege of Star Shuttle City

Lord Anders Erenwood, commander of the Dornish army, was sitting in his wheelchair, studying a map and pondering a way to defeat the enemy. Hearing his son-in-law's words, he immediately looked up.

"shut up!"

Anders Erenwood, his hair slightly graying, his brows furrowed, stared intently at his son-in-law, Roger Elion, before speaking sternly.

"Roger, you're not allowed to say things like that again!"

Although twenty years ago, Anders' grandfather, Edgar Erenwood, had a duel with sixteen-year-old Oberon because of his mistress's infidelity.

Both men sustained minor injuries, but Edgar Ellenwood died a few days later from a festering wound. It was suspected that Oberyn had poisoned the sword, hence the name "Red Viper." This incident severely damaged the relationship between the Martell and Ellenwood families.

However, the family relationship was strained, while Prince Doran had a very close personal relationship with Anders Erenwood. The two were close in age and were close friends who could talk about anything.

After the incident involving Oberyn, in an effort to mend relations with the Erenwood family, Prince Doran gave his young eldest son, Quentin Martell, to Lord Anders Erenwood to raise as his adopted son, as a form of compensation and assurance.

Therefore, the Martell and Ellenwood families are still on relatively good terms. Prince Doran values ​​his friend, and Anders knows Prince Doran very well.

Doran Namelos Martell was an extremely cautious and quiet man. He was meticulous in his actions, strategizing and never revealed his emotions.

Although Prince Doran has now handed over the reins of Dorne to Anders Erenwood, appointing him as commander-in-chief to lead the attack on the Reach.

But Anders knew very well that there were countless spies of Prince Doran in the army, and he would not completely trust anyone.

His son-in-law, Roger Elieion, said those words, which might eventually reach the ears of Prince Doran.

While restoring the glory of House Elenwood as the 'High Kings of Dorne' is indeed tempting...

However, Anders calmly resisted the temptation, knowing that behind the irresistible benefits offered to him often lay a deadly trap.

When Roger Elion saw that his father-in-law was angry, his expression became slightly awkward, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

However, at that moment, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

"The city gates are open!"

"The city gates are open!"

"kill!"

There were even faint sounds of shouting and killing, but Anders Ellenwood's room was far away, so he couldn't hear them very clearly.

"listen!"

Commander Dorne, who was in a wheelchair, and his son-in-law were both battle-hardened warriors, so they were naturally very sensitive to any slight disturbance.

"Father!"

Sir Roger's expression changed slightly, then he exchanged a glance with his father-in-law, and suddenly stood up, one hand on the hilt of his sword.

"Roger, go out and see what happened?"

Be careful in everything.

Anders Erenwood remained calm and composed, then calmly gave the order.

"Yes, Father!"

Then his son-in-law, Sir Roger Elion, with his hand on the hilt of his sword, pushed open the door and went out to check the situation outside.

At the same time, he ordered the guards to strengthen their defenses and protect his father-in-law's safety.

...

But outside the home...

puff--

Lord Titus Back of Starshort, holding a blood-stained longsword, pulled a Dornish soldier from the chest and then pushed his body off the city wall.

thump--

The body fell to the dust.

Titus Peck was, after all, the lord of Starshuttle City.

The Baker family was once a prominent and powerful family in the Reach, and their ancestors were also descendants of 'Bluehand' Garth.

They even ruled over three castles at one time, and the coat of arms of the Peck family still resembles three castles today.

They briefly held immense power in the post-Dance of the Blood Dragon era, but their influence rapidly declined in modern times.

Because the Peck family sided with the wrong side in several Blackfire Rebellions, they were punished by being stripped of their other two castles, leaving only Starshuttle Castle.

There are even jokes about the Peck family in the Reach, that is, even a blind man is better at choosing sides than the adults of the Peck family. They are truly geniuses at choosing sides, and they also have a curse attribute, that side will be unlucky no matter which side they join.

However, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.

Titus Baker still rallied a group of soldiers loyal to the Baker family, and tonight, without any warning, they suddenly launched a riot.

They launched a surprise attack, slaughtering the garrison, quickly seizing one of the city gates of Star Shuttle City, and setting a fire on the city walls to let the River Bend army outside the city into the city.

Perhaps it was because Count Titus had been too docile recently, even offering up his wife, that he became a laughingstock.

The Dornish army never expected this pushover to have the courage to suddenly launch an attack, and was caught off guard, losing the city gate.

"Kill all these Dornish barbarians!"

"Hold the city gates!"

Titus Peck roared angrily, holding his blood-stained longsword.

"kill!"

The Pecker soldiers, too, harbored resentment. Living in the wealthy Reach, they looked down on their poor neighbors, especially the Dornish, whom they privately referred to as barbarians.

However, ever since Count Titus surrendered, the soldiers of Starshort have long resented the Dornish people who used to look down on them and have been acting arrogantly. Now, they are united in their determination to defend the city gates they have just captured.

A raging fire burned above Starshuttle City, and internal strife broke out in the Dornish army. The Reach army, which had surrounded Starshuttle City, naturally wouldn't let go of this golden opportunity.

"The time for revenge has come, Father."

Mace Tyrell, the nominal commander-in-chief of the army, looked at his son, and Velas, without hesitation, decisively ordered an attack.

"They invaded our land, burned our homes, killed our children, and defiled our wives..."

"We have suffered too much humiliation during this period, and we will repay them all in this battle!"

The usually gentle and refined High Court heir, dragging his crippled leg, stood up, drew his longsword from his waist, and roared angrily.

"Kill all these barbarians!"

"Ohhh!!!"

Upon hearing Velas's pre-battle mobilization speech, all the Reach knights in the central command tent, fully armed and ready for battle, felt their blood boil.

bang bang bang-

They then slapped the table in unison, stood up, drew their long swords, and raised their arms in a shout.

"revenge!"

"A blood debt must be paid in blood!"

Chapter 533 The Battle of the Cripples

Earl Titus Peck of Starshort City wavered between surrendering and rebelling, and successfully captured a city gate in a surprise attack, holding out until reinforcements from the Reach arrived.

The Dornish army, caught off guard, fought back fiercely, and the battlefields clashed both inside and outside Starshuttle City, with shouts of battle rising everywhere.

"kill!"

Titus Baek, covered in blood and wielding a longsword, slashed left and right, repelling wave after wave of Dornish attacks before finally having time to catch his breath.

Rumbling--

The influx of knights from the Reach into the city greatly relieved the pressure he was under.

It was late at night, but fires were raging in Star Shuttle City. It was unclear who had lit the oil, but thick smoke was billowing into the sky.

Count Titus Baker watched as his homeland was engulfed in flames, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
