Chapter 396 Airborne Dragonstone Island

The Battle of the Green Fork is over.

The Seven-Nation Allied Forces paid a huge price for this battle, resulting in the heaviest casualties since the war began. Tens of thousands of soldiers died on the spot, and countless others were injured.

The coalition forces launched a desperate charge against the Legion of the Dead, and were once in dire straits, but in the end they stubbornly repelled the White Walkers' attack with the help of the dragons descended from the sky.

The Army of the Dead retreated into the Neck and regained their strength.

And mankind also achieved the most glorious result since the war began, that is, successfully repelled an attack by the White Walkers.

But there is no need to say more about the corresponding price.

At the same time, the Battle of the Green Fork also set a new record for the highest-ranking nobles killed by human troops in the White Walker War.

Lord Walder Frey committed suicide by jumping into the river, successfully breaking the previous records of the Earl of the Golden Teeth and the Earl of Hearth.

It's just that this method of refreshing is not very glorious, but it has also become an interesting piece of trivia in the human war against the White Walkers.

This historic and far-reaching meeting between the two kings between Viserys and Robert Baratheon finally achieved some results.

The two sides have reached a series of verbal consensuses, such as cooperation in fighting the White Walkers, and they naturally know it well after the future war against the White Walkers is over.

After the meeting ended, Viserys boarded the dragon and left the battlefield on the Green Fork, flying across the Neck back to White Harbor.

His large force of 20,000 Dothraki cavalry remained in White Harbor on standby.

The war here is temporarily over, but the turmoil in Westeros is not over yet.

Prince Doran sat firmly in Sunspear City, but the Dornish army began to move intensively at this time. A large number of soldiers arrived at the Prince's Pass, seriously threatening the safety of the nobles in the border areas.

Rose of Highgarden's nerves suddenly became tense, and she also summoned her vassals to discuss countermeasures. At the same time, she asked Storm's End for help, hoping that if there was a war between the Reach and Dorne, she could get assistance from the Stormlands.

However, it is a pity that after the Tyrell family's request for help was sent to Storm's End, it fell silent and did not receive any response.

Mace Tyrell, Duke of Highgarden, was extremely anxious. At this time, he suddenly missed his beloved general Randyll Tarly, Lord of Hornhill.

If Randyll Tarly, the famous general of the South, was here in Dorne, he would not be so impudent. At the same time, he would also have many complaints about Renly, Duke of Storm's End.

The Tyrell family has made an alliance with the Baratheon family. After the "Little Rose of Highgarden", his daughter Margaery Tyrell has her first period, she will be able to marry Prince Joffer of the Baratheon family.

Get married.

The two powerful families were united and should have supported each other in times of crisis, but the Duke of Metz did not expect Renly to be so weak that he was so frightened by Dorne that he could not leave the house.

However, a few days later, news from King's Landing reached Highgarden, and Mace Tyrell understood what had happened, causing Storm's End to be overwhelmed.

It turns out that a fleet traveling between Westeros and Essos brought explosive news.

Viserys Targaryen III, the 'false king' located in Pentos on the other side of the Narrow Sea, has decided to send troops to Westeros.

It was impossible to conceal the fact that tens of thousands of troops had set sail from the port of Pentos, not to mention there were two giant dragons, so the news had spread to King's Landing long before the army arrived in Westeros.

An army from another continent was pressing down on the territory, and everyone in King's Landing was suddenly in panic.

However, at this time, the news of the death of Jon Arryn, the regent and former Prime Minister, could not be concealed for a long time. Now sitting on the Iron Throne as regent is Queen Cersei.

There are even rumors that Queen Cersei sent someone to kill the Hand of the King, and claimed that it was because Lord Jon found evidence of incest between the queen and her brother.

And Cersei ordered that the news of the Targaryen army's crossing the sea be blocked and strictly prohibited from leaking out. At the same time, the city gates were closed tightly and could only be opened at fixed times. They implemented curfews, high-pressure rule, and prohibited the spread of rumors. Anyone who violated the prohibitions was hanged in the city.

The head was burned to death.

Under the orders of the Queen Regent, King's Landing completely became a coward, paying no attention to the source of the information, and did not send a fleet to conduct reconnaissance on the sea.

And the next day, on Dragonstone Island.

It was an ordinary morning, with a gentle breeze and bright sunshine.

Wow——

The rushing waves are constantly beating and washing the rocks on the island, and the magnificent black castle stands on Dragonstone.

This castle is entirely made of black stone, a lost masonry technique in Valyria, which makes it different from the castles in Westeros.

The flag of House Baratheon flutters over the Stone Drum Tower, the main castle of Dragonstone, with a black crowned stag on a gold background.

This is a branch of the Baratheon family, and the fiefdom owned by Stannis Baratheon, who was named Duke of Dragonstone after the Usurper's War.

It has been a long time since Stannis left Dragonstone in response to his brother's call to fight against the White Walkers.

His youngest daughter, Shireen, who is only four years old, has even forgotten what her father looks like.

Now the little girl Shireen Baratheon is having breakfast in the restaurant accompanied by her mother Selyse Florent.

But at this moment.

The melodious and desolate sound of horns suddenly sounded on the sea, followed by the intensive sound of alarms on Dragonstone Castle, with bells and horns ringing at the same time.

Bang——

At the same time, a guard from the Baratheon family hurriedly opened the door of the restaurant and walked in, startling the mother and daughter Selyse who were dining.

"Madam, something serious has happened!"

Selyse Florent's face showed a slight displeasure, but the Duchess of Dragonstone had a very good aristocratic cultivation.

She also heard the warning horn announcing that something had happened, so she did not blame the guard, but put down her spoon and asked patiently.

"What happened outside?"

"Why is it so rough?"

However, he didn't wait for the guard to explain anything.

At this moment.

boom--

There was a sudden loud noise above the restaurant where the mother and daughter were staying in Dragonstone Castle.

As if something huge had landed on the castle, the dust above their heads fell in a rustling sound, startling everyone in the castle.

The four-year-old Miss Shireen Baratheon was immediately frightened and cried, and her mother Selyse Florent was also frightened, her face turned pale, and she became a little panicked.

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

And on the sea.

The entire sea area was densely packed with warships at some point, with no end in sight.

On every ship flew high the banners of House Targaryen and the coat of arms of the Golden Company.

Rhaenys Targaryen, the eldest princess of the new dynasty, personally flew to the castle on Dragonstone on the green dragon Rhaegal.

The giant dragon stepped on the castle and made a deafening roar.

The defenders of Dragonstone Island were so frightened that they trembled, and then they all put down their weapons and knelt down to beg for surrender.
