Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

This roar, like that of an ancient, primordial beast, sent shivers down everyone's spines. The moment it opened its mouth, it suppressed all the horn sounds from the top of Tianji City, making them pale in comparison.

What is that sound?

Inside the castle hall, the Dornish nobles looked up at the ceiling, not immediately realizing what was happening.

"dragon..."

Immediately, Gulian Kogel, who had been shouting the loudest about avenging his brother, seemed to be the first to react, and he murmured something.

Is it a dragon?

He turned his head uncertainly to look at everyone around him, including his father, and then saw the drastic change in everyone's expression.

"dragon!"

"It's a dragon!"

"Run away!"

However, it was already too late.

The black dragon Bellerion, which blotted out the sky, flapped its wings and swooped down from the sky to the ground, letting out a roar.

Meanwhile, the Fleur family soldiers on the city walls of Tianji City raised their bows and fired, but it was as if they were merely tickling the surface.

clap clap-

The arrow struck the dragon's increasingly thick and rough scales, bounced off, and fell back to the ground.

Then Bellerion opened the gaping maw of the abyss and aimed it at the castle below.

A glint of indigo light emerged from the center of his throat.

Chapter 669 Breaking the City

boom--

The raging dragon flames poured down, instantly collapsing the castle roof, and a large number of flames burst in amidst the bricks and rubble.

"Ahhh-"

The unsuspecting Dornish soldiers let out shrill screams as they were swallowed by the dragonfire.

Some were instantly melted into ashes, while others lay on the ground writhing, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

"Help!"

"Help!"

Some even jumped directly off the city wall, ending their suffering through suicide.

Meanwhile, in the castle of Sky City, the rooftops shattered with a deafening crash, and the many Dornish nobles inside were instantly killed or wounded before they could even react.

heat.

The rolling heat baked people's bodies as if they were in a furnace, and the surrounding air instantly became dry, sweeping away all moisture.

Franklin Fuller, Earl of Skye, was one of the quicker to react, and he was also quite lucky.

When the ceiling of the main hall was suddenly destroyed by the dragon flames, a huge brick fell down and smashed a warrior from the Bramont family into a bloody pulp right before his eyes, while he was unharmed and quickly crawled under the table to escape the disaster.

"Whoo~"

"Whoo~"

At this moment, old Franklin was panting heavily, hiding under the table and looking around in terror.

However, everywhere one looked there were rising flames and broken bricks and tiles.

The city where the 'Sky Kings' House Fowler had lived for generations in Dorne had been ripped open with a huge wound, and looking up, one could see the azure sky and the billowing smoke.

"Ho-"

Bellerion let out a deep, powerful dragon roar, constantly flapping its wings and spewing dragonfire around the human castle below.

It had been a long time since the Second War of Conquest had ended that it had had such an opportunity to wreak havoc.

However, this time Bellerion released all the pent-up energy he had been holding back.

Rumbling--

It flapped its wings with abandon, expending its dragonfire, and surging indigo pillars of fire destroyed buildings in the sky and city. Castle roofs shattered and towering towers collapsed with a deafening roar.

The pigsties, stables, armories, library, and other structures in Tianji City were all set ablaze by the dragon flames, and the entire castle was engulfed in a sea of ​​fire.

"Ho-"

Bellerion let out a low growl, flapped his wings, and took to the sky once more.

Its dragonfire was initially red, but now, with age and size, it is increasingly turning darker.

A giant dragon suddenly descended from the sky, and the Wang army at the foot of the mountain outside the city naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity pass.

Jon Clinton's plea for help had only been sent out a short time, and he hadn't expected the dragon to arrive so quickly, considering the raven might not even have flown over Prince's Pass yet—

Could it be that His Majesty foresaw the situation here when he was in power?

However, such a bold idea only flashed through his mind, and he dared not speculate further.

While it remains a rumor that Viserys possesses mysterious magic, it is an open secret among the Lord Chancellors and high-ranking officials of the Iron Throne.

Then, the middle-aged man with gray-red hair looked at the giant dragon flying in the sky and Tianji City engulfed in a sea of ​​fire. Instead of mounting his horse, he drew his long sword from his waist and pointed it at the distant city wall, roaring angrily.

"His Majesty has personally led the expedition! We have captured this city!"

"Kill all the traitors!"

"kill!"

The noble alliance of the River Bend and the soldiers of the Second Legion who had come from King's Landing roared in unison and charged toward Sky City.

Jon Clinton also led from the front, without riding a warhorse, because the terrain of Sky City was harsh, located on a mountaintop, and the roads were broken and full of potholes, so he was forced to charge ahead on foot with a longsword in hand.

"kill!"

The dark mass of Wang's soldiers, carrying ladders aloft, charged towards Tianji City.

Meanwhile, the City of Azure Sky was engulfed in a sea of ​​fire. There was no need for even a siege ladder, because its city gates, including a section of the city wall, had been destroyed by the dragon's breath and turned into ruins.

The air on the battlefield was scorching hot, and flames burned everywhere in sight.

Although the dragon had already taken to the air and stopped breathing dragonfire, most of the Dornish soldiers in the city had lost the will to resist. They kept running and shouting, making desperate cries for help.

"Water, water, water—"

"help me!"

"help me!"

Many soldiers were still engulfed in flames, desperately hoping for rain. However, in Dorne's hot and arid climate, rain was a rare occurrence each year.

In the end, they failed to extinguish the flames on their bodies and could only collapse to the ground in despair during their last run, turning into charred corpses.

"kill!"

Immediately, the Wang army soldiers stormed into the city, sweeping through it like dry leaves, unstoppable.

With the dragons' help, they shattered the morale of the Dornish soldiers, sweeping away the gloom of the previous days' arduous siege. Like gods descending to earth, they killed every enemy that appeared in their sight.

Now the entire city of Sky and City is engulfed in smoke and flames, with only a few Dornish soldiers still putting up a stubborn resistance, but how could they possibly stop the overwhelming momentum of the royal army?

Fearing that it might accidentally injure its own soldiers, the giant dragon in the sky had already increased its altitude and was circling in the sky, constantly letting out low roars as it looked down over the entire battlefield.

Not far away, Viserys stood on a small hill, calmly observing the entire battlefield.

In fact, this was a 'fishing operation'.

Let's lure out all the Dornish nobles who are dissatisfied with the Iron Throne in one go. After all, their discontent will eventually erupt if kept hidden, so it's better to deal with them all now.

The problems of Dorne need to be resolved sooner or later, otherwise Westeros without Dorne will be incomplete.

However, the Dornish people are stubborn and obstinate, and they can unite when faced with invasion, which is the most difficult problem.

Viserys first took a political approach, undermining the relationship between the Dornish nobles and the common people, resulting in the current situation of division and antagonism between the Dornish nobles and commoners.

They then launched a war under some pretext; the Cengford family incident was actually just an accident.

Because if you really want to bring Dorne into the Empire's system, it's simply impossible to do so without the lure of high profits and without going through a war.

Those Dornish people would never willingly submit.

However, at that moment, an unexpected event occurred.

Chapter 670 Jon's Assassination

"kill!"

Jon Clinton led the charge, wielding a longsword and being the first to storm into Skye City.

"help me!"

"Please, save me!"

As soon as he stormed through the city gates, a Dornish soldier wearing a helmet and sand-yellow leather armor, carrying a spear and shield, rushed at him. His body was engulfed in flames, and he was uttering painful howls.

bang——

But instead of saving him, Jon Clinton coldly kicked him to the ground.

puff--

Then he stepped forward and pierced the man's throat with his sword. Blood flowed out instantly, staining the ground beneath him red, ending all his suffering.

"Lord Jon Clinton!"

"You shouldn't be here!"

Ding ding ding—

The battlefield of Tianji City was filled with thick smoke and billowing flames, the sounds of clashing weapons and sporadic screams.

Although the dragons blasted open the gates of Sky City, crushing the Dornish soldiers' will to resist, the battlefield within the city remained turbulent, with battles raging everywhere.

It was indeed a bit too frivolous for Jon Clinton to be in this position as Commander-in-Chief.
