Extra Story Chapter 48: Battle in Front of the Palace
The decisive battle outside King's Landing lasted for more than a month. During this period, both sides fought to the point of exhaustion and bloodshed. The bodies of battleships were floating everywhere on the Blackwater Bay.
However, in the end, facing a fortified city like King's Landing, internal collapse played a crucial role.
The previous emperor of the empire passed away too suddenly, and there was no heir left. A Targaryen who appeared out of nowhere first took refuge in the princes of the court, and gradually gained access to high positions while helping them.
, and finally ascended the throne by claiming to be the 'illegitimate son' of the previous emperor.
He is none other than the 'Moon Spirit' Theon Targary who once traveled through time with everyone from 10,000 years ago, but now he has restored his Targaryen surname.
His mind magic has been greatly strengthened after coming to this world. Ten thousand years later, he can stand out in an era when magic has completely disappeared. However, with his talent, he came to the Age of Ending Law, relying only on the remaining magic in this world.
They are all perfectly capable of doing it like a fish in water.
However, Theon's accession to the throne was too hasty. After all, a descendant who traveled from the future to the past did not have a deep foundation and did not gain the support of many people.
He was helpless in the face of this dying empire, and the Targaryens missed their last chance to save themselves due to internal strife.
A civil strife helped the rebels outside the city open the city gates. After two generations of ignorant kings' rule, the rebel soldiers who were already full of resentment towards the country rushed into King's Landing.
"Go, go, go!"
Tap tap tap…
General Hank followed the masked knight in silver armor Damon Dragonshield on a horse and led a group of elites, ignoring the street fighting in the city, and went straight to the Red Keep.
It is not an easy task for the rebels to occupy this city. The most important thing at the moment is to kill Emperor Wa.
Otherwise, once the news of the fall of King's Landing spreads, many royalist troops who stayed in the Riverlands to watch due to internal strife will rush here non-stop, and the rebellion's great cause of resistance will also disappear.
As for the rebels, even though they knew it was a big pit, they still had to jump down with their eyes closed.
After all, although the Valyrian Empire was declining, a emaciated camel was bigger than a horse. If it weren't for the split in imperial power, the rebels would not have been able to reach King's Landing.
Therefore, for Daemon and others, time is the most precious thing at the moment. They must wait on the periphery to completely occupy King's Landing before the royalist armies of other factions behind them react, and use King's Landing's solid city defenses to gain a foothold.
This is the key to breaking the situation right now.
In the Red Keep, King's Landing fell, and the will of the royalist soldiers to resist fell to an unprecedented low.
Even the Royal Guards have lost their fighting spirit. The chaos and turmoil at the end of the empire have caused this powerful guard, which was first created by the Unsullied, to have become nothing more than a waste of money and have been drained of its heritage.
…
"You are here."
In the throne room, Theon Targaryen, the last emperor of the empire, faced Daemon and his party who rushed into the hall alone.
We haven't seen each other in just two years. The once high-spirited young man has now become a lot more vicissitudes of life.
Lieutenant Colonel Hank was shocked when he saw this familiar person in front of him. He did not expect that the young man who was the first to get separated from everyone would actually ascend to the throne of the empire.
Xion was slightly surprised when he saw Lieutenant Colonel Hank. He also recognized that the person in front of him was actually a companion who had also traveled from ten thousand years in the future.
"It seems that our arrival is destined."
Some of Theon Targaryen's silver hair has turned white. He sat quietly on the steps, his noble lavender eyes scanning the people rushing into the hall.
Except for Lieutenant Colonel Hank, and even the rebellious Dragon Shield family, everyone breathed a little quickly and held the long sword in their hands tightly.
The Targaryen family has ruled this world for ten thousand years. This kind of nobility and inviolability has long been ingrained. Although they pretended to be rebellious, when they really faced their former masters, they still had a few enemies.
Quite timid.
"I should have killed you in the first place."
"Maybe it will change history."
On the other side, looking at the different reactions on everyone's faces, Theon Targaryen laughed at himself and shook his head.
"But it's not too late."
Immediately, the young last emperor stood up from the steps, and everyone at the bottom of the steps suddenly looked slightly shuddered. They clenched the swords in their hands and increased their vigilance.
"The Dragon Shield family should have been servants of the royal family for generations."
"But you have forgotten the oath of your ancestors!"
However, everyone's vigilance was in vain. Xion, who was dressed in a golden robe, stood on the steps and spoke loudly. He opened his hand and pointed it at Daemon Dragonshield, preparing to kill the so-called leader of the rebel army directly.
Naturally, the Masked Knight, as the leader of the rebels, would not be easily killed by Xion. When the opponent opened his hand and aimed at him, an inexplicable sense of crisis arose in his heart.
"Get away!"
Then he suddenly rolled to avoid Xion's attack, and a guard behind him had his head twisted off by the opponent, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
"What kind of weird magic is this?!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw Xion twist off the head of a personal guard with one move from the air.
However, the warriors who were able to rush in here at the first time were naturally experienced and had gone through hundreds of battles. There was no verbal communication immediately, and everyone dispersed in a hurry, hiding behind various bunkers to prevent being directly pointed by Xion's hand.
"Huh, do you think you can escape this way?"
The last emperor standing on the steps saw a hint of gloom in his eyes when he suddenly failed to kill the enemy chieftain with a single blow.
But he didn't panic. He glanced at the people scattered and hiding around, then reached out and pointed in a random direction. A long sword inserted in the gap in the wall flew directly over. The people hiding behind the bunker were caught off guard and immediately let out a cry.
A scream.
"Damn it!"
"Go together!"
"kill him!"
Seeing Xion kill someone again, Daemon Dragonshield, who was hiding behind a pillar on the other side, gritted his teeth slightly, and bravely took the lead in pulling out the family's Dragon-Slaying Sword, and rushed forward at the head of the army.
The masked knight was certainly not reckless. Based on the fact that Xion had briefly killed two people, he was keenly aware that there were obvious gaps between the opponent's attacks, and he could only target one person at a time.
"superior!"
When they saw the leader, they all rushed out. The remaining guards and Lieutenant Colonel Hank looked at each other and knew that they could no longer hide. They could only grit their teeth and rush out together, rushing towards the last generation of Wa.
