Eddard Stark, Duke of Winterfell, personally led an army to break the siege of Storm's End.
After only a brief stop at Storm's End, the Northern Cavalry continued southward across the border of the Reach, heading towards Dorne.
There are only three ways to enter Dorne from the south, the Bone Road closest to Storm's End, the Prince's Pass and the pass in the Crimson Mountains east of Oldtown.
Most of the troops in the northern border were cavalry, so they did not choose to take the difficult bone road, but headed straight for the Prince's Pass in the middle of the road.
The Duke of Winterfell marched his army south, and Dorne was naturally very nervous and fully prepared for war.
However, a raven then flew in to clear up the misunderstanding, and Eddard Stark insisted on his honor and placed the army outside the Prince's Pass.
I just took six people, Ethan Glover, Martin Cassel, Theo Wall, Holland Reed, William Dustin, and Mark Laiswell, and passed through with Donne's consent.
The border goes deep into Dorne, searching for traces of his sister Lyanna Stark.
Eddard and his team then found Lyanna and the three missing Kingsguards at the Tower of Bliss near the Vulture's Nest.
A fierce battle broke out between the two sides, seven against three, but the course of this battle was not known to anyone except the ten people who participated in the battle.
What people know is that the Duke of Winterfell was the victor in the end, but he also suffered heavy losses. Only one of his companions and himself survived.
Ed then went to Starfall City to return Arthur Dayne's divine weapon 'Dawn', the Sword of Dawn, and then left Dorne with his sister's body and the surviving companion Howland Reed.
This Usurper's War, which began in 281 Aegon Calendar and now ends in 283 Aegon Calendar, finally came to an end with the Battle of the Tower of Bliss.
The Targaryen family was completely driven off the Iron Throne. Except for a few members who survived, almost all members of the family were slaughtered.
The leader of the rebel army, Robert finally ascended the Iron Throne and completed the coronation ceremony in St. Baelor's Cathedral, anointed with holy oil and recited the oath. He was crowned the king of the Andals, Rhoynar and the First Men. Seven
Ruler of the realm and protector of the realm, Robert Baratheon I.
The seven kingdoms in Westeros, except Dorne, were finally reunited under the name of the new king.
Boom——
The melodious ringing of bells spread throughout King's Landing.
The new king stood at the top of the towering steps of St. Belle's Cathedral, his tall figure shrouded like a mountain. All the ministers below the steps knelt on one knee to congratulate the new king on his coronation.
"Honored Lord Jon Arryn!"
The young and powerful king with black hair spoke. His voice was not inferior to the melodious bells outside, and it echoed throughout the entire church.
"I will appoint you Hand of the King as Chancellor."
Then the new King Robert personally placed the badge of 'Hand of the King' on his adoptive father, Jon Arryn, Duke of the Eyrie.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I'm not capable enough to take on this position."
The old Duke, who was almost sixty years old and had gray hair, was slightly possessed and wanted to kneel down on one knee to refuse, but King Robert laughed and helped him up.
"Hahahaha, the Seven Gods are on high."
"Lord Aelin!"
The young king's voice is as loud as a bell, and his laughter is bold and contagious.
"If your abilities are not enough to serve as the King's Hand, I'm afraid there will be no more suitable person in these seven countries."
However, although he laughed, the smile on Robert Baratheon's face faded slightly when he mentioned the Seven Kingdoms.
Nowadays, the Seven Kingdoms have not been completely unified, and Dorne has not actively surrendered because of the change of ownership of the Iron Throne. However, Dorne is still an extremely difficult nut to crack.
This has also become a serious problem for Robert Baratheon. If Dorne insists on supporting Targaryen, I am afraid that the entire Westeros will be in constant war in the next few decades.
therefore.
The first task of the new Prime Minister Jon Arryn after taking office is to go to Dorne, the southernmost point of Westeros, for peace talks, trying to extinguish the tension in Dorne caused by the deaths of Prince Lewin and Princess Elia Martel.
anger.
"I will do my best."
St. Belle's Lecture Hall.
Under the gaze of the Seven Gods, the old Duke coughed violently, and then finally nodded and agreed.
At the coronation ceremony of the new king, Robert's brother Stannis naturally appeared at the scene.
The hairline of the young man who is less than thirty years old has gradually begun to make people sad. At this moment, Stannis's face still has the eternal seriousness, and his lips are tight.
His Storm's End fleet has not yet been assembled, and it will take time to build the warships and train the soldiers.
However, Robert had no patience to wait any longer. He was in a good mood at first, but when he saw his brother, who was as smelly and hard as a stone in the toilet, the smile on his face faded.
At the same time, he couldn't stand for a moment that the 'evil dragon's evil seed' was breathing.
So the new king also ordered the newly surrendered Earl of Arbor, Paxter Redwin, to lead the fleet to attack Dragonstone during the coronation ceremony.
...
March of the year 284 of the Conquest Calendar.
Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, Viserys has spent more than six months on Dragonstone.
Queen Layla's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the servants in Dragonstone Castle have begun to guess whether this will be a new prince or a new princess.
During this period, Viserys was practicing swordsmanship with Coach William, while also improving his knowledge with the old maester.
However, accidents always happen so unexpectedly.
Illness comes like a mountain.
Bachelor Daniel, who was already over 80 years old, suddenly fell ill when he was about to spend this winter. In this era of underdeveloped medical standards, being able to live to this age is actually considered an advanced age.
The old maester's body could no longer withstand the torment of this serious illness. His face was as pale as a piece of paper and he was as thin as a stick. He finally made his final instructions on the bed, and then took Viserys's hand and breathed his last breath.
.
The lights in the ward flickered, and it was pitch black outside.
The night is deep.
Queen Leila cried bitterly. This was another blow she suffered after the successive deaths of her eldest son and husband. She was already frail and pregnant, and her inner depression once again accumulated to a higher level.
As the general butler, Sir David Shad was also standing in the ward, his eyes flashing slightly, and next to him was the coach of the Red Fort who had recovered from his injuries.
Although William Darry's injuries have healed, there are still hidden dangers. After all, he was too seriously injured at that time, and he was placed on a horse for a long time while seriously injured. If he could save his life, he would
Already very satisfied.
He had been having a hard time this winter, and the relapse of an old injury left him in excruciating pain.
Viserys, who was being held by the old maester's hand, stood in front of the bed, watching the old maester take his last breath, silent the whole time.
And at this time.
Boom——
Suddenly, a long alarm bell sounded from the direction of the Dragonstone Lighthouse, and it spread far away in the silent night.
