Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

"Roar--"

However, despite being engulfed in flames, Artis endured the pain and delivered his final punch.

boom--

His final punch slammed into the gate of Highgarden, and the already precarious gate, aided by the battering ram, finally collapsed under the violent impact.

The gates of Highgarden collapsed with a deafening roar, and a deafening cheer erupted from the Imperial legions that were launching a fierce attack on the city walls.

"The city has fallen—"

"kill!"

Immediately, the vast army of the Black Empire surged toward the torn wound and stormed into Highgarden's city in an instant.

"Highgarden has fallen!"

A mournful sound came from somewhere in the wind, eroding the last vestiges of resistance in Yin Meng's army.

"Run away!"

"Run away!"

"His Highness the Crown Prince wants everyone burned!"

A rumor, whose origins are unknown, has spread rapidly, causing alarm.

Upon hearing these words, all the soldiers in Yin Meng's army who had originally intended to lay down their weapons and surrender completely abandoned their plans to surrender and regained their morale.

After all, surrendering would mean being burned alive anyway, so it was better to fight to the death and escape, or to fight the enemy to the death.

Not far away, the giant prince Artis finally blasted open the gates of Highgarden with his last punch, while flames still burned on his body.

The colossal giant, standing over four meters tall, endured the excruciating pain of the flames burning his skin, letting out a final, desperate cry.

He saw that Heros's army had successfully stormed into Highgarden, almost winning the battle for the throne, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

However… he himself could no longer hold on, and might not live to see the moment of Heros' coronation.

His body was so tall that it was impossible to remove his armor in a short time, and now his body was engulfed in flames, making it impossible for ordinary people to get close.

But now the sky above is clear and cloudless, so his final fate is to be burned alive in this fire.

“Heroes…”

"after…"

"To be a good emperor..."

Chapter 1058 The Counterattack Begins Now

boom--

Immediately, the giant prince's massive body could no longer hold on, and like a mountain collapsing and a jade pillar falling, his knees buckled and he collapsed to the ground.

His body then fell headfirst to the ground, sending dust and shockwaves spreading outwards.

The imperial army has now entered Highgarden, and a fierce street battle has broken out between the two sides.

"Lord Artis!"

"Lord Artis!"

What should we do?

The regent ordered that Artis be rescued at all costs, so everyone gathered around the giant prince.

But they were anxious and helpless, because they did not have enough water to extinguish the flames on Artis's body.

"Ok?"

"Why is it dark?"

However, at that moment, someone suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone present looked up and realized that the sky above them had suddenly become overcast.

The world was shrouded in darkness, as if the end of the world had arrived, with rumbling thunder and lightning.

Rumbling--

Then, in the blink of an eye, a heavy rain began to fall.

...

A sudden downpour began.

"rainstorm!"

Meanwhile, atop a tower in the city of Gaoting not far away, Prince Yinmeng, with his long, silver-gold hair disheveled, stood in the pouring rain, his hand resting on a pale crow skull, his chest rising and falling slightly.

He had just seen Artis doused in oil and fall into the fire.

The giant prince, Artis, grew up in the Red Keep. Because of their similar ages and his admiration for his brother Heros, Artis was always inseparable from him.

But as Heros's brother, Artis was also very friendly to Immun.

When Yin Meng was young, he often lifted him up and put him on his shoulders. At Yin Meng's request, he even let him climb onto the roof by stepping on his shoulders. In the end, he was scolded by the palace steward who rushed over.

However, Artis had no complaints, only a simple, honest smile.

Although he is much larger than other human children his age, he is a typical example of someone who looks fierce but is kind at heart.

Artis wasn't originally this fierce person; he didn't really enjoy using his body for fighting and killing.

He was also very gentle, but in order to protect Heros forever, Attis went to practice human swordsmanship and learn combat skills.

"Artis!"

Therefore, when he saw Artis fall into the flames, Yin Meng finally could not control his inner impulse.

He couldn't resist activating the Raven Skull's power a little earlier than planned, unleashing a torrential downpour in the hope of saving Artis from being burned alive.

"I'm sorry, teacher."

When Yin Meng opened his eyes, he looked at his teacher with remorse and apologized.

"fine."

"The current opportunities aren't bad either."

Bessie, wearing a metal mask, was now leaning against the cold battlements. He had changed into a different set of armor, and a sword hung at his waist.

He saw the giant prince Artis doused with a barrel of oil and then fall into the flames, which reminded him of his own near-burnt-to-death experience years ago, though no one had sent a downpour for him beforehand.

Bessie hoped that the giant prince could pull through this ordeal.

"It's time for a desperate battle, Your Highness."

The veteran, who was once the same age as Yin Meng's father, Viserys, but whose hair is now gray, clenched his fist. He seemed to have rediscovered the passion of his youth.

"An arrogant army is bound to be defeated, while a desperate army is bound to win!"

They were once the powerful figures of the previous century, three hundred years ago in the Yin Gengli era. However, in the new era, more and more capable young people are emerging and establishing themselves.

Princess Diana, Herod Targaryen, Prince Immon, Edric Dayne, the Sword of the Morning, the Giant Prince, Little Mei, the Director of the Interior Ministry, Missandei, from the Dean of the Economics Department to the newly appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer, and so on... a series of unfamiliar faces, but in recent years they have gradually become the main theme of this world.

These people are the future of the empire, the protagonists and rulers of this new century.

But this doesn't mean that these old guys are no longer important. Although they have passed their prime, they can still shine in the new century.

And the next battle was the most beautiful dance of his life.

He had been waiting for this opportunity for far too long.

Facing Oberyn, his old friend and now old rival, perhaps due to his age, Oberyn has become much more timid. He has changed his former nature and become cautious and prudent in his dealings with Bessie.

Bessie had always been known for his composure throughout his life, but at this moment he abruptly changed his style, taking a risky and unconventional approach, and bearing enormous risks.

He was luring his old friend into his trap step by step, all for the sake of this final, magnificent dance.

Oberyn seemed to sense something and smell danger, but ultimately, relying on decades of experience, he fell into Oberyn's trap.

Highgarden is strategically located with easy access to all directions, traversed by two main thoroughfares, Rose Avenue and Seaside Avenue. It sits on a small hill overlooking the Mandeb River, a vast river, making it the only high point in this expansive plain.

The Mande is the largest river in the Reach, and even in Westeros, it is one of the largest rivers, with a huge flow and a wide surface.

In ancient times, the Iron Islanders even dared to sail into the river and plunder the banks of the Mandeb River and its tributaries.

Until the King of the Reach in the Greenlands armed the fishermen of the Shield Islands at the mouth of the Mandeb River, appointing them as his shield, and establishing an alarm system along the river known as the Greybeards, using beacon fires and smoke to warn the Ironborn of attacks.

The river still flows swiftly, but a sudden downpour has disrupted its tranquility.

“I have read the hydrological records of the Mandeb River.”

"This time of year is its flood season."

Bessie stood atop the tower of Highgarden, her hand resting on the battlements, watching the Imperial legions gradually pour into Highgarden, with more and more troops waiting to enter the city. She spoke calmly.

At that moment, dark clouds loomed over his head.

Rumbling--

The torrential rain continued to pour down, muffled thunder rumbled, and raging lightning illuminated the dark sky, his cold mask, and his eyes. Rain dripped down the mask.

"And unfortunately, the Mandeb River's water level is now on the verge of the most dangerous point—"

The water level of the Mandeb River is now at its highest point this year.

Any slight disturbance could trigger a massive flood.

However, Oberon, who was not familiar with the local soil and water characteristics, did not notice this, or he did notice it but was careless.

After all, Oberon never expected that Yin Meng would possess a magical artifact capable of instantly changing the weather.

But this is the source of Bessie's confidence in strategizing and turning the tide of this major battle.

"bring it on!"

"The counterattack begins now!"
