Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

They hunted the group of 'traitors' for days and nights, losing their way at one point, but eventually found them again.

"Kill them!"

Then, accompanied by the roar of a Dornish warrior with a falcon emblem pinned to his chest, all the Dornish cavalrymen echoed in unison.

Rumbling--

Heavy hooves thundered on the road. They stared fiercely at their compatriots, then drew their gleaming scimitars and charged toward the young Karen and his companions.

Damn it!

"We're doomed!"

"That's young master Owen Fuller!"

The faces of the fleeing Dornish people were filled with despair, including Karen herself; they all felt they were doomed.

They hadn't expected that Lord Fowler's cavalry would be able to chase them past the Prince's Pass and pursue them all the way to the Reach region.

They thought they were safe, so they lowered their guard and took an easier road, but the enemy caught up with them and they were now in imminent danger. The terrain of the bend was flat and unobstructed, but there were no forests or mountains for them to maneuver. A cavalry charge could wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Moreover, it was Owen Fuller, the nephew of 'Old Falcon' Franklin Fuller, who personally hunted him down. Franklin had two twin daughters, and Owen was the only male heir in the Fuller family, so he was pampered and arrogant all day long without anyone to discipline him.

However, just then, as if by divine intervention, a way out was found. Just as the young Karen and his companions were falling into despair, the rumble of iron hooves echoed from the other side of the road leading to Censhu Beach.

The group of fleeing Dornish quickly turned around and looked behind them, where they saw a group of knights carrying the banners of the Cenford family of Cenford Beach approaching from behind.

They were clad in bright, heavy armor, armed to the teeth, and even their warhorses were covered in heavy horse armor. Their eyes were filled with murderous intent, and the standard-bearer held high the white flag of the Cenford family.

"Our sun shines!"

The leading knight also wore the Cenford family crest on his left arm, and then roared in a low voice.

"Kill all these invaders!"

"drink!"

All the Reach Knights raised their lances and roared in unison in response.

Clearly, the group of Cenford family knights who suddenly appeared at the rear were targeting the Dorn cavalry who were chasing the traitors, and they didn't even glance at Karen and the others.

Because these Dornish cavalrymen had crossed the border into the local lord's territory and intended to kill people at will on this land.

The conflict between the two sides intensified during this period. This was not the first or second time that the Dornish cavalry had done this. They had practically treated the Reach as their backyard, which naturally aroused the anger of the local nobles.

This is the first step in their counterattack.

"quick!"

"Quick! Get to the side of the road!"

"Make way!"

The Dornish men, caught between two groups of cavalry, seemed to be stunned. Only young Karen was the first to react. He realized that the Reach knights were not targeting him, and he quickly shouted to warn his companions.

All the Dornish people recovered and hurriedly fled to both sides of the road to make way for the cavalry.

"Charge! Charge! Charge!"

Meanwhile, Owen Fuller, who was commanding the Dornish cavalry, saw that the Reach knights were not retreating at all, but instead ordered them to accelerate and charge forward.

bang——

But at that moment, a stray arrow suddenly shot out from the ranks of the Zenford family knights, striking Ser Owen Fuller, the leader of the Dornish cavalry, with deadly accuracy.

puff--

Old Fleur's nephew immediately cried out in pain, then fell from his horse after being shot by an arrow, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Chapter 638 Border Crisis

The news of an emergency at the border of Dorne arrived in King's Landing on horseback.

tata tao...

A knight from the Riverlands, clad in armor and stained with blood, quickly ascended the steps, gripping his sword hilt, and entered the throne room.

Meanwhile, the throne room was already packed with local nobles from King's Landing. Viserys sat calmly on the iron throne in the center, wearing a Valyrian steel crown inlaid with rubies.

A chair that had been temporarily added to the side seats not far away belonged to Queen Ariane, who was holding her daughter Diana Targaryen, her expression slightly unpleasant.

The senior members of the Council of Lords stood on either side, with the First Hand, Jon Clinton, at the head of the table, followed by two princesses: Princess Renéece, Duchess of Summerhall, and Daenerys Targaryen, Duchess of Dragonstone.

Following them are the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Intelligence, the King's Advisor, the Minister of Agriculture, the Minister of Crafts, the Grand Secretary, and others...

The senior ministers of the Imperial Council had different expressions; some were ashen-faced, some were gloating, and others remained silent, their expressions unreadable.

The young female dragon knight with long brown hair lowered her head, gripped the hilt of the Dark Sisters' sword at her waist, then exhaled and raised her head again.

In fact, long before the formal request for help, the raven had already sent a message to King's Landing, and everyone present had heard more or less about the rebellion that had broken out on the frontier.

"The Dornish barbarians are still harboring treacherous intentions and have repeatedly violated our borders!"

“They burned almost everything, our farmland, our grain, and our homes.”

The knight who came for help was from the Mariewes family of the Long Table Hall. He immediately knelt on one knee before the Iron Throne and, ignoring the Queen and the Minister of Justice's unpleasant expressions, loudly accused them.

"Your Majesty, we beg you to send troops to quell the rebellion!"

A month ago, a conflict broke out between nobles from two regions on the frontier of Dorne. Although it was not a large-scale war, a knight from the Reach was killed in the conflict, but overall it was still within a controllable range.

However, not long ago, something happened that caused the conflict between the two sides to suddenly escalate.

Owen Fowler, one of the most powerful lords in Dorne, the only male descendant of House Fowler of Sky and City, whose ancestors were once kings and known as the 'Kings of the Cliffs and the Sky,' and the nephew of Franklin Fowler, was shot and killed by House Zenford knights while pursuing the fleeing civilians deep in the Reach.

The old falcon was furious upon hearing the news, so he gathered two thousand Dornish soldiers and stormed into the Reach, burning, killing, and looting. They broke through the Fort Chamtree Beach, and apart from Lord Chamford, all the other female members of the Chamford family were killed by the Dornish before they could escape.

The Fowler family's actions angered the Reach nobles, who then rallied their soldiers to retaliate. The two sides fought three fierce battles, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

At this moment, Franklin Fuller, who was guarding the pass, also vented his anger. However, after calming down, the old falcon felt that something was wrong and retreated to the Prince's Pass, where he stayed and refused to go out again.

However, while the Fleur family retreated, the Riverlands Noble Alliance did not back down.

Instead, they relied on their own private armies, totaling several thousand men, to garrison in front of the Prince's Pass, adopting a posture of neither attacking the city nor retreating, aiming to seek justice for the Cenford family.

Meanwhile, on another front, they dispatched knights from House Mariewes to King's Landing to plead with the king, claiming that a rebellion had broken out in Dorne and requesting that he uphold justice.

As Ser Rickon Marives's voice faded, the nobles of King's Landing began to whisper amongst themselves in the throne room. They discussed the audacious 'King of the Sky,' while secretly glancing at Queen Dorne, who sat to the side of the throne room, and the Lord Chancellor of Justice, who stood at the head of the table.

The Dornish were among the earliest Targaryen allies, having served the king faithfully, and also had a queen who bore him a daughter.

As a powerful in-law, Dorne had long been a target of public criticism, and most of the nobles present were gloating, wanting to see how the 'unyielding' Martell family would handle the matter.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to personally lead the army to Dorne to quell the rebellion."

At this moment, after listening to Sir Rickon Mariewes's accusations, the Dornish man, who had been standing aside with a grim expression, finally couldn't help but step forward.

But he did not explain anything for his compatriots. He knew that Dorne's reputation in the court was not very good at the moment, because his power had made him a target of public criticism.

Therefore, Oberyn stepped forward and volunteered to personally lead the army to break through the Prince's Pass, capture Lord Franklin Fowler, and escort him back to King's Landing for trial.

However, Oberyn's request to fight was opposed by the Prime Minister Jon Clinton. Although the two had a good personal relationship since he stepped down to recommend someone else, the gray-red-haired man was straightforward and inflexible, and he believed that public affairs were public affairs and private affairs were private affairs.

"Lord Oberyn, as the Prince of Dorne, should voluntarily avoid any appearance of impropriety."

"Imperial Prime Minister Jon Clinton spoke with an icy expression, then turned to look at the silver-haired youth sitting on the Iron Throne."

"His Majesty."

"The Lord Franklin Fowler, the Guardian of the Pass and Lord of Tianji City, has disregarded the laws of the Kingdom and has arbitrarily mobilized his troops to attack villages and castles in the River Reach Kingdom."

"They murdered the wives, children, and elderly of the Cenford family, and burned down the homes and farmland of the people. They deserve to be punished."

“I am willing to bring Franklin Fuller to justice.”

Below, Jon Clinton, wearing the King's Hand medal, sternly condemned Franklin Fuller's sins, while the silver-haired youth sitting on the cold throne remained calm throughout, showing no emotion whatsoever.

He leaned back in his chair, watching the various expressions on the faces of the nobles below: the knights of the Reach kneeling on one knee, the grim-faced Oberon, and so on... He didn't care much about the matter; a lord of Tianji had violated the kingdom's laws, and he could be punished according to the law, just like the Stonehelm rebellion last year.

"can."

Viserys finally nodded slightly after Jon Clinton had finished speaking.

"Lord Jon Clinton."

"His Majesty."

An ordinary man wearing the King's Hand badge stepped out from among the courtiers.

"I'll give you two thousand soldiers to bring him before me."

"At the same time, send a letter to Yangji City, demanding an explanation from Prince Daolang."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Jon Clinton bowed slightly in greeting and then returned to his original position.

Chapter 639 Name Day

As the monthly meeting of the Throne Hall concluded, Viserys, accompanied by his squire Gendry, prepared to mount his horse and head out to inspect the port's operations.

"my sweetheart."

Just then, Arianne, carrying their daughter Diana, walked hurriedly towards them, followed by her maid Sansa.

"Arianne?"

Viserys saw his wife, knew what she wanted to say, and then jumped off his horse.

"Don't worry, your father, Prince Doran, isn't that short-sighted."

“Prince Doran should not be involved in this matter and should not be implicated, but as the Prince of Dorne, he should provide an explanation for this matter.”

Viserys ran his fingers through his wife's soft hair, then pressed his forehead against hers and spoke words of comfort.

Is that really the case?

Arianne breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing Viserys's assurance. She also felt that her father wasn't so foolish as to start a rebellion under these circumstances, but she couldn't help but feel worried.

"fine."

Viserys shook his head.

At that moment, the silver-haired baby girl who was fast asleep in Arianne's arms seemed to wake up. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she opened her beautiful pale purple eyes, in which her father was reflected.
