Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

"Let's fight to the death!"

"Let's fight to the death!"

Scattered chants echoed through Oberon's army.

He tried to inspire the soldiers around him and ignite their courage to face death.

However, very few people responded; most of them had already given up hope and had no energy left to respond.

Oberyn was exhausted from his escape, but Aemon's army was not in much better shape.

They too were marching dozens of miles a day at breakneck speed, desperately chasing after their pursuers.

However, compared to the remnants of Oberon's army who lacked food and clothing, they were well-fed and clothed, but equally exhausted.

"Prepare to annihilate them!"

Both armies had already formed their battle formations. The tall and imposing Iron-Faced General, sitting on his horse, drew his long sword from his waist, his armor reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight overhead.

He raised his long sword high, just about to order the entire army to attack and annihilate the enemy.

However, at this critical moment, horns suddenly sounded from behind the arrayed formation of the Oberon army.

Ugh

On the battlefield, where a major battle was about to break out, both sides were taken aback by this sudden turn of events.

"what happened?"

Especially on Oberyn's side, the old prince of Dorne was already exhausted and his mind was dizzy. He was only holding on with his last breath to keep from collapsing.

The sudden sound of a bugle call from behind sent a chill down his spine.

He thought he had fallen into another trap, that the enemy had actually attacked from both sides, and the morale of the entire army was shaken.

However, when everyone turned around to look behind them, they discovered that a fully armed army was rushing towards them in a cloud of dust.

The banners they were holding high were those of the King's Landing garrison.

This army was mostly composed of infantry with very few cavalry, because as the garrison of King's Landing, their main duty was to maintain order and they hardly needed warhorses, so there were few cavalry.

They only had a few warhorses and some packhorses, but at this moment they were all brought out to make up the numbers.

Upon seeing the banners of the capital's garrison, the Oberon army, which was on the verge of collapse and about to crumble without a fight, was immediately invigorated.

The soldiers, who had been in despair, had their will to survive rekindled.

"Reinforcements have arrived!"

"Reinforcements have arrived!"

"Long live Prince Heros!"

Suddenly, the enemy on the other side began to cheer and shout that reinforcements were coming.

Damn it!

"Shit!"

Meanwhile, the morale of Aemon Targaryen's army had dropped considerably.

After all, they had gone through countless hardships to finally catch up, but then the enemy's reinforcements arrived.

As for Bessie and Imon, who were the commanders-in-chief of the entire army, they were also taken aback, not expecting that what they feared most would happen.

However, after carefully observing the reinforcements that were arriving from the enemy's rear, Bessie breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"This is not the entire capital garrison; it is only half of them."

"It's not the worst time yet."

Chapter 1070 The Prophecy Fulfilled

The remnants of Oberyn's army fled the Kingsguard and reached the shores of Blackwater Bay. This news naturally reached King's Landing a step ahead of time.

After a fierce internal struggle, Heros finally decided to send half of the capital's garrison to the rescue.

King's Landing is currently beset by internal and external troubles. The external trouble is that Aemon's army is about to besiege the city, while the internal trouble is the conservative forces led by the King's Hand, Velas Tyrell.

Although they did not openly oppose Heros's regent prince, they had been secretly colluding with some underworld forces in King's Landing to sabotage Heros.

They were the ones who did Tyrion's thing.

Although Heros was fully aware of the situation at the time, he didn't have any good solutions.

After all, these people have been operating in King's Landing for a long time and hold high positions of power. Killing them would not be difficult; it would simply be a matter of capturing them and slashing them.

However, the consequences of killing these people were something that a clever man like Heros could not ignore.

But now, his brother Aemon's army is almost at the city gates, and Heros himself is at his last moment.

He's now becoming somewhat reckless, and crazy ideas are gradually taking over.

Upon receiving the devastating news, he immediately wanted Commander Xiaomei to eliminate these people and then dispatch the entire capital garrison.

However, in the end, Heros managed to overcome his inner madness with his willpower.

He ordered increased surveillance of his chief minister, Velas Tyrell, and others, and forbade anyone from the outside world from meeting with Queen Ariane.

At the same time, he ordered the commander-in-chief of the capital's garrison, "Iron Hand" Jeslin Bywatt, to send half of the capital's garrison to reinforce it.

His goal was not to defeat his brother Aemon Targaryen's army, but to successfully bring back the old prince of Dorne.

After all, Oberon was the backbone of Heros's army no matter what. As long as he was alive, the morale of the army would not be too chaotic.

But a temporary setback is nothing. After recuperating and waiting for the arrival of the armies from the North and the Riverlands, they completely crushed their brother Aemon's resistance.

Heros's plan was excellent and very idealistic, yet he always confused reality with his ideals.

After all, reality is never as perfect as a plan. Humans execute its commands, and since humans are not machines, there will be loopholes and flaws. (The character 牲 is pronounced xi.)

Compared to his brother Heros's intelligence, it is clear that his younger brother Aemon understands "human beings" better.

Therefore, after Heros methodically relayed the orders one by one, the news quickly reached Queen Ariane, who was already imprisoned in the Meg Tower and forbidden from contacting outsiders.

One of the guards in the Red Keep had clearly been bribed long ago, and he handed over all the information to Queen Arianne.

"Well, back off."

After reading the note, Arianne raised her eyebrows slightly.

He then pondered for a moment, nodded, and dismissed the mole.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Without hesitation, the Red Keep guard turned and left immediately, fearing that others would notice.

This information was clearly not something a mere Red Keep guard could gather.

Instead, other informants planted under Herros's command gathered this intelligence, compiled it, and immediately passed it on to Queen Ariane through this person.

Although Arianne appears to be imprisoned in the Mega Tower, she is actually living a pretty good life, spending her days playing with cats, admiring flowers, and basking in the sun.

Moreover, there is still a powerful force under her control outside.

"What is it, Your Majesty?"

After the Red Keep guard left, Brienne Tarth, one of the three Kingsguard who remained in the Red Keep, watched his departing figure, then turned to Queen Arianne and asked her a question.

Because she noticed that there was something subtle about the Empress's expression.

This was the most significant fluctuation in Queen Ariane's mental state since her son usurped power and imprisoned her in the Red Keep.

Although Arianne appeared to have little emotional fluctuation on the surface, the former princess of Dorne had been on the throne for decades and had long since learned to remain calm in the face of both honor and disgrace.

Such a reaction was already a huge emotional shock for Arianne, which is why Brienne asked out of curiosity.

Arianne did not hide anything from her white knight; the loyalty of the maids and Kingsguard who were now imprisoned with her in the Magorium had long been tested.

"Uncle Oberon is back."

The beautiful queen with black hair had a complex expression on her face as she looked at the flickering candlelight on the table and spoke softly.

Time has left no trace on her. Now almost fifty years old, Arianne still maintains the appearance and figure of a twenty-year-old. Her skin is firm and delicate, and her figure is still upright and proud without any sagging.

Viserys' divine power helped his three wives remain forever young.

Prince Oberyn?

"What? Wasn't it said that he suffered a defeat in High Court?"

Brienne, somewhat puzzled by Arianne's words, asked in return.

In fact, news from the outside world had long been no obstacle for Arianne. She had received news long ago that her uncle, Prince Oberyn, had suffered a defeat in Highgarden, and that he had almost lost his entire army. He was now retreating towards King's Landing.

At that time, Arianne was so relieved that she drank an extra glass of wine that night.

After all, much of the credit for his house arrest came from his uncle Oberyn's betrayal.

However, Her Majesty the Empress now clearly showed a look of worry on her face.

The white-clad female knight was puzzled, but Arianne, with a complicated expression, did not offer much explanation. She gently placed the note in her hand on the candle flame and burned it, eventually turning it into ashes.

It's still the prophecy of that man from the East.

Viserys brought back an envoy from the Golden Kingdom from the Eastern Continent. The envoy came to his side with seven prophecies and then stayed forever in Westeros, far from his homeland, where he now serves as the Grand Steward of the Red Keep.

However, after Herlos launched his coup, Xu Ying, an Easterner, was also placed under house arrest.

When Heros staged the coup, Arianne originally intended to resist resolutely, but it was Xu Ying's persuasion that made her change her mind and open the gates of the Red Keep to peacefully transfer power.

Now that she had received the latest intelligence from the outside world, Ariane immediately recalled one of Xu Ying's seven prophecies.

The two armies clashed in a fierce battle on the beach, the fighting fierce and evenly matched.

The two elderly commanders also personally took to the field, and the battle ended with one of them falling from his horse and dying.

Chapter 1071 The War Begins

However, even after Heros's order was given, there was still no movement inside the Mega Tower.

"No matter what"

"Everyone who makes a mistake should be punished."
