Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Who could have imagined that, after the tide had turned, Jon Clinton would stumble in this little ditch?

However, accidents always happen unexpectedly in this world.

Jon Clinton initially suppressed Oberyn and personally led the army into battle, but little did he know that it would be his swan song, and he would never return to King's Landing.

On the other side...

"come over!"

"hurry up!"

The war came to an end, and the royal army completely captured Tianji City, leaving no force to resist within the castle.

The soldiers found the surviving Dornish nobles in the ruins. Most of them had died or been wounded, and only a few were still alive. However, they had all been half-dead by the dragonfire and were on the verge of death when they were found, including Franklin Fuller, the master of Sky City.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

The royal soldiers escorted the prisoners to Viserys and then forced them to kneel down by pressing their shoulders.

"Your Majesty, the murderer is this person!"

The soldiers of the royal army found the culprit behind the arrow attack: a young man whose hair and leather armor were charred, and whose face was covered in red and black marks. He was none other than Gulian Kogel, the heir to Sandstone City.

Gurian Kogel narrowly escaped being hit when the dragonfire blasted down the roof of the castle's main hall, and then saw Jon Clinton, the murderer of his brother.

He was then blinded by hatred and, in order to avenge his brother, secretly drew his bow and shot Jon Clinton with a stray arrow.

However, at this moment he regained his senses and looked at Jon Clinton's body lying on the ground, and he was also overwhelmed by regret and fear.

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

The other Dornish nobles who had been escorted over trembled at the sight of Viserys, as if they had seen a demon, and hurriedly kowtowed repeatedly, begging for their lives.

Many of them had seen Viserys in person at his public trial in King's Landing, but they never expected to see him again just a year later, this time as prisoners awaiting trial below.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to plead guilty!"

"I am willing to plead guilty!"

Among this group of Dornish nobles was the old falcon, whose hair and beard were both white. Franklin Fuller, the Earl of Skye, the protagonist of this incident, was covered in blood. Knowing that he had met Viserys, he knew he could not escape his guilt and now he only wanted to live.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to plead guilty!"

"I am willing to don black clothes and guard the Great Wall!"

Franklin Fuller no longer hopes to escape punishment; he only hopes to gain the right to wear the black coat.

However, that matter is no longer the main point; the real big deal is that the Prime Minister has died on the battlefield.

Gurian Kogel, the murderer, was deathly pale, almost as pale as Jon Clinton lying on the ground.

"I..."

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to beg for mercy or defend his actions, but whether out of fear or for some other reason, he said nothing.

He is now the only remaining member of the Kogel family in Sandstone City. His father, Quentin Kogel, was just burned alive by dragonfire.

If he dies, the Kogel family of Sandstone will be officially extinct and exit the stage of history.

"Kill them all."

However, Viserys merely glanced at them and then casually uttered a sentence that sealed their fate.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

All the captured Dornish nobles were in a panic, but Viserys ignored them and turned away.

However, at that moment, out of sight of others, a black mist emerged from Jon Clinton's body.

It seemed to be drawn to some quality in Viserys and burrowed directly into his body.

"Ok?"

Viserys paused slightly as he walked away, then turned to look at Jon Snow's corpse.

Chapter 672 Jon's Soul

"This is Jon's soul."

In the military camp at the foot of Tianjicheng Mountain.

That night.

To keep vigil for his most loyal Hand of the King, Viserys sent soldiers to cut down several trees and use the finest wood to build a makeshift coffin for Jon Clinton.

At this moment, the body of the Prime Minister lay quietly in this coffin, with Viserys' sword, Twilight, beside him.

Dorne has a hot climate. Although the temperature difference between day and night is extreme, the daytime weather is so hot that corpses will decompose in less than half a day.

Viserys' sword, Twilight, is inspired by the Heart of the Red Comet. It has a burning effect when it cuts enemies, but anyone other than Viserys will feel an icy chill when wielding this divine weapon.

Melisandre, the priestess of the Crimson God, explained that the heart of the red comet was a gift from God Rahlo to Viserys. Therefore, anyone who touches it will feel an icy chill and will find it almost impossible to hold. Only Viserys can use and wield it freely without feeling this coldness.

She claimed that Viserys was the son of the sun, the reincarnation of the hero 'Azor Ahai', but only Viserys knew in his heart that he was not the reincarnation of anyone, much less the 'son of the sun'.

Now, Viserys, taking advantage of the twilight's properties, placed it beside Jon Clinton, using the weapon's chilling nature to suppress the corpse's decay and escort Jon's remains back to his homeland.

Although only midnight has passed, Jon Clinton's body remains unchanged, as if it were truly frozen inside and out.

As for the daytime battlefield, Sky City, once known as the "City of the Sky," has now been reduced to ruins. Jon Clinton's assassination has provoked Viserys's unusually fierce rage.

He ordered all troops to withdraw from Skyreach, and all the captured Dornish nobles, as well as Gullion Corger, the murderer of Jon Clinton, were bound hand and foot in the center of the castle.

Viserys then ordered his companion, the black dragon Belerien, to use dragonfire to destroy the ancient castle that had stood on the land for thousands of years, razing it to the ground and leaving only some ruins.

The cities of Tianji, the Fowler family, the Kogel family of Sandstone City, and the Uller family of Prison Gate have all vanished into the annals of history.

The Fowler twins were spared because they were girls, while all the other male heirs were burned alive.

The same fate befell the Kogel family of Sandstone; one of their male heirs was beheaded by Jon Clinton, and the other was burned alive.

Earl Haman Uller of House Uller of Prison Gate was killed by a boulder falling from the ceiling, while his heir and brother, Sir Ulrik Uller, was burned to death by dragonfire.

House Uller has only one illegitimate daughter left behind, who is currently in King's Landing. She is Oberyn's mistress, named Ellaria Shad, and has borne Oberyn four daughters.

Furthermore, the Fuller twins, as well as Ellaria Shad and others, were all stripped of their inheritance rights and reduced to commoners.

...

But now, the night is deep.

The silver-haired young man sat alone in the makeshift mourning hall, his hand resting on Jon Clinton's coffin.

There was silence all around.

The wind rustled the white curtains of the mourning hall, and there were no guards outside; Viserys had driven them all away.

At this moment, a hazy black mist appeared in his palm. This black mist looked extremely thin and kept changing into various shapes, as if it had its own consciousness.

Viserys knew that this was the soul of Jon Clinton.

Since Viserys absorbed the power of the Old Gods and the Three-Eyed Raven Brynden Rivers, his mental strength has reached the final half-step point of nearing its peak.

He no longer needs to collect lives and souls by hand. He only needs to stay in the Red Keep of King's Landing, and all the dead souls within a radius of dozens of miles will be attracted to him and gather there. This is why he has rarely left King's Landing in recent years.

The fact that Jon Clinton's soul left his body meant that he was completely dead and could not be revived. If his body were to be freed from the oppression of twilight, it might begin to show signs of decay within a few hours.

However, Viserys is now pondering whether there are other opportunities for Jon Clinton's soul to awaken.

"Is it possible to communicate with the souls of the dead?"

"Perhaps there will be other opportunities?"

Viserys looked at the thin wisp of black mist in his palm, a thoughtful expression on his face.

However, he didn't know what to do right now.

After all, the path before him was completely unfamiliar to him, and there was no one to refer to. He could only continue to feel his way across the river.

However, Viserys does have someone else he can consult.

That would be the lingering regret of Miracis, the Valyrian sea goddess. She knows a lot and might be able to offer Viserys some help.

Unfortunately, she wasn't with him at the moment; he would have to wait until Viserys returned to King's Landing to ask her about it.

The matter of that giant white crow skull should also be addressed promptly.

The nameless statue, imbued with a weaker divine power, harbored the lingering resentment of Miracis, and he was somewhat anticipating what the white skull held.

But right now, the most important thing is the soul of Jon Clinton.

Viserys carefully stored it away to prevent it from getting mixed up with the other absorbed black mist; otherwise, without any means of communication, even Viserys wouldn't be able to tell who each of them was.

This was an opportunity. Viserys had never thought of developing in this direction before, but Jon Clinton's unexpected death made him turn his attention to the issue of human life and death for the first time.

Is he able to communicate with the deceased?

Viserys didn't know either, but it was the only thing he could do at the moment.

The next morning.

A hazy new sun slowly rose from the east, and on the ruins of Tianji City, there were still scattered flames that had not been extinguished, and the black smoke had not yet dissipated.

The hearts of everyone in the royal army were heavy, including the nobles of the Reach. The entire army dismantled their tents and escorted the coffin of the Prime Minister, Jon Clinton, back to the Reach.

However, they seemed preoccupied as they rode on their warhorses.

"Let's go."

They defeated their old rivals and nemesis, but the result was not what they wanted.

The castle was razed to the ground, and all the heirs were killed, leaving only the girl who was stripped of the castle.

Their fate was predictable: no nobleman would dare to risk marrying them, even if they were of noble blood. In the end, they could only marry commoners or become prostitutes.

Chapter 673 Flying Letter to Yangji City

The Sky City rebellion was finally brought to an end by the raging dragonfire, and a castle and three ancient Dorne houses officially exited the stage of history.
