However, at this moment, Ser Meryn Trant of the Kingsguard, who was standing behind the old knight, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and then stabbed Barristan Selmy directly into the back of the neck from behind.
The tip of the dagger penetrated through the throat, and then was suddenly pulled out.
puff
Blood spurted out instantly and splashed onto the face of the rebel soldier in front of him.
The white knight's armor was stained with blood, and the sword in Barristan Selmy's hand fell to the ground with a clang. He covered his throat with one hand and his face was full of disbelief. He seemed to want to say something but said nothing.
come out.
"Ho ho ho"
Blood poured into his trachea and blocked his voice.
The captain of the Kingsguard had no idea that the sworn brother he could trust his back to would betray him under such circumstances.
It turns out that Marlin Tran had already had alienation intentions. He had already thought about running away since he saw the unstoppable White Walkers.
However, he hesitated and did not take action until Viserys arrived with his dragon. Humans defeated the White Walkers and saved the entire world. However, the conflict between Viserys and the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms continued again.
is irreconcilable.
Merlin Tran believed that Viserys wanted to kill people, and he wanted to eradicate more nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, otherwise he would not have brought a group of barbarians here, and this group of barbarians was prepared to kill people and set fire to them.
As Robert's Kingsguard, Merlin Tran considered himself one of the people Viserys most wanted to kill.
But Sir Merlin Tran didn't want to die yet, he hadn't lived enough, so he had to do something in order to survive, and the greatest contribution was the seller seeking glory, capturing the old king alive and presenting it to the new king
, or kill him.
Ever since the king was hit by an arrow and fell into a coma, Marin Tran had made up his mind a long time ago, but the old man Barristan Selmy was always guarding the king and prevented Marin Tran from making a move.
Opportunity.
But now is the best opportunity
Merlin Tran suddenly rebelled and killed Barristan Selmy from behind, who looked like a god of war just now. The rebels outside the door were still a little surprised and confused, and were slightly stunned.
There was a civil strife in Riverrun City. The number of rebels was limited, but the soldiers of the Tully family gathered more and more, and they quickly came up the stairs to kill. Before the rebels could catch King Robert, they swarmed up, and both sides were fighting.
Fighting broke out among the upper levels of the castle.
The Kingsguard Marlin Tran, who had betrayed his oath, was a little anxious when he saw this situation. He originally thought that the outcome was already certain, so he suddenly took action to kill Barristan Selmy, but he did not expect that he would appear again at this time.
Changed situation.
He rushed forward to capture King Robert as a hostage, but was surrounded by Tully soldiers.
Dangdang
As a member of the Kingsguard, Merlin Tran was naturally not a good person. He roared and waved his sword and killed two soldiers of the Tully family one after another.
However, he was outnumbered and was stabbed in the knee by a sword from behind. He immediately screamed and fell to the ground in pain. He was then captured alive and tied up.
"kill!"
The civil strife in Riverrun City was fierce. Both sides fought with white knives in and out with red knives, making everyone's eyes red. It lasted for half the night, but in the end it ended with the Tully family winning.
Blood flowed into rivers in Riverrun City, and corpses lay everywhere. All the rebels were killed or injured, and some were even forced to jump into the river. In the end, it is not known whether they swam out of the water gate or died under the random arrows of the defenders.
There were several corpses of rebels floating on the river. Soldiers of the Tully family were cleaning the battlefield and finally found the severed head of Duke Tully, but it was difficult to identify at this moment. The old Duke's head was regarded by the rebels as
The ball was kicked around and finally found under the bed.
When Edmure saw his father's head and the headless corpse covered in footprints and filth, he became extremely angry. With red eyes, he ordered that all the captured rebel nobles be sent to the gallows and hanged.
.
The rebellion in Riverrun was suppressed, and the corpses of countless rebel nobles were dragged from the gallows and thrown into kennels to feed the dogs.
Merlin Tran, the sworn Kingsguard who was not a rebel noble, narrowly escaped his life. He was temporarily detained in the water dungeon of Riverrun, enduring the pain of having his knees pierced, just like digging out his thighs and cutting his flesh.
.
The body of Ser Barristan Selmy, the captain of the Kingsguard who loyally protected the king until the last moment and the legendary knight renowned in the Seven Kingdoms, was also properly recovered.
However, the strange thing is that King Robert Baratheon was temporarily placed under house arrest by the soldiers of the Tully family after the war, and he was not even allowed to mourn the body of Barristan Selmy. Although the rebellion was suppressed, everyone
The panic expression on his face could no longer be concealed.
It was now past midnight, but the night was still dark. After Riverrun had experienced half a night of turmoil, the atmosphere had fallen into a strange state.
After the death of the old Duke, his heir Edmure Tully became the new generation of Guardian of the Riverlands, Duke of Riverrun, and all the surviving vassals of Riverrun collectively swore an oath to Edmund in the hall of Riverrun.
Demure Tully expressed his loyalty.
Afterwards, the door of Riverrun's hall was closed tightly, and the new Warden of the Riverlands and all the vassals of the Riverlands closed their doors, not knowing what issue to discuss, and discussed it for half a night.
The sky is gradually turning white, and the dawn of a new day is coming.
The gate of Riverrun suddenly opened, and the towering suspension bridge was lowered. Edmure Tully, who claimed to be the guardian of the Riverlands and the Duke of Riverrun, led all the vassals of the Riverlands to Viserys's war horse, and then
Surrender on your knees.
He took the initiative to hand over the false king Robert Baratheon who was recovering from his injuries in the city, and at the same time asked Viserys to forgive his father Hoster and the Tully family for their sins, and to allow him to bury his father.
The turmoil in Riverrun last night also alarmed Viserys outside the city, but he didn't know what exactly happened in the city. However, he didn't expect that so many things happened after a night of turmoil.
Viserys looked at Edmure Tully who was kneeling in front of his horse. Behind him were the vassals of the Riverlands and the soldiers of House Tully who had survived the turmoil.
Finally, he nodded slightly and told Edmure that he could still leave Riverrun to the Tully family, but the title of Guardian of the Riverlands must be taken away from his head.
Edmure's face turned a little pale, but he still had no objection. He had already thought of this possibility, but it was just difficult to accept it for the moment.
The Dothraki then rode into Riverrun and took complete control of the castle.
