When the nobles of the Stormland saw the 'conqueror' who had opened up a new country, they buried their heads in the soil like ostriches and did not dare to say a word.
Viserys sat in the great hall of Storm's End, with Stannis' body displayed in the center of the great hall.
But the nobles of the Stormland were hiding in the corner of the hall in despair. Later, Viserys remembered them, called them by name, and then walked out tremblingly.
There are too many stories that happened on this night, which are enough to be recorded in the annals of history and become part of the historical wave for future generations to comment on.
Nowadays, in addition to laughing at the three Stormland nobles who served as background, people are more in awe of the young king.
One man surrendering a city is enough to become a great legend. It was only at this time that people truly realized that Viserys's process of unifying the Seven Kingdoms seemed to be unstoppable.
A few days after Viserys surrendered to Storm's End alone, the Targaryen army belatedly arrived and officially unified the land and incorporated the Stormlands into the territory of the kingdom.
And the other side.
Viserys's relatives in the court, Queen Arianne's family, and the Dornish army retreated hundreds of miles back to Star Shuttle City after suffering a defeat in Highgarden.
Starshuttle City is the only way from the Dorne Frontier to Highgarden.
After the Dornish army won the Battle of the Borderlands and occupied Nightsong City, they marched straight to Highgarden and besieged this beautiful garden castle. Naturally, Starshuttle City, which was on the way of the Dornish army, could not escape.
However, Count Titus Peake of Star Shuttle City was very straightforward. When the Dornish army arrived, he immediately surrendered.
It can't be stopped anyway, the Dornish army's goal is Highgarden, and he is just an inconspicuous stumbling block in the way of the Dornish army.
Moreover, Lord Titus Peake also has some distant relatives on the other side of the Iron Throne...
Ryswell Peake is an exiled lord of the Golden Company and a commander of the Golden Company.
But he did not follow Viserys to the Stormlands. Instead, after the Golden Company regained King's Landing, he received a new mission and left here not long after, taking a boat straight to Dorne.
Ryswell Peake accepted the order of Rhaenys, the eldest princess who sat on the Iron Throne at that time, and served as the representative of the relationship between the Targaryen army and Dorne, responsible for the communication and cooperation between the two parties.
Leswell Peake gladly accepted the order and rushed to Dorne with his two brothers, Taoman Peake and Packwood Peake.
Then Dorne launched a war to attack the Marches. The lords of the Marches united to fight against the invaders, and were eventually defeated.
Before this battle, Leswell Peake had contacted his distant relative Titus Peake of Star Shuttle City, hoping that he could raid the frontier army from behind.
However, this proposal was forcefully rejected by Titus. Firstly, he did not take a fancy to his 'poor relative' who was in exile. Secondly, at that time, Titus still had full confidence in his lord, the Tyrell family.
He did not expect that the Border Army would fail so quickly, and he did not expect that after the Dornishmen captured Nightsong City, they did not continue to attack the Border Land, but went straight to Highgarden.
Later, when Titus panicked and approached his "poor relative" Leswell Peck, the scene was reversed, and Leswell became arrogant.
At the same time, Titus's wife Margot Lannister was also in bad luck. Leswell had long been eyeing this beautiful blond sister-in-law, and Toast humiliated his wife and sent him to Leswell.
Weir's room.
The reason is that Ryswell claimed that His Majesty the King does not like people from the Lannister family, even though Margaux Lannister, the Countess of Starshuttle City, is only a sideline of the Lannister family.
The three Leswell Peake brothers played music night after night in their room, while Count Titus endured the humiliation and became the laughing stock of countless people, just in exchange for the hope that he could survive and the family could survive.
However, just when Count Titus thought that he had sacrificed a wife and embraced the arms of Dorne and the Targaryen family, bad news from the front suddenly came.
Lord Anders Yronwood, the famous 'Keeper of Stone Roads', led the Dornish army to besiege Highgarden when he was attacked by the Hightower army.
Reinforcements from Oldtown and the Tyrell armies of Highgarden joined forces to defeat the Dornish army.
Subsequently, the River Bend army did not allow the Dornish army to evacuate safely. The Dornish army retreated all the way to Star Shuttle City and then regained a firm foothold.
When Titus heard the news, he was struck by thunder. He did not expect that when he occupied the side of the Reach, the Reach was defeated, and then he quickly sided with Dorne, and Dorne was also defeated.
However, no matter where in the world, no one will show mercy when facing traitors. When Titus was at a loss, a servant in the castle suddenly came to him.
It turns out that this servant was the spy planted by the Tyrell family in Star Shuttle City.
Vilas the Cripple, the heir to Highgarden and the actual commander of the Reach army, told him through this informant that if Titus did one thing, he would be able to forgive Titus for his betrayal and at the same time give him his life.
My wife was rescued
…
That night, in Xingsuo City.
"Father."
Sir Roger Alyon of the City of Divine Grace sat in front of the table with one hand on the hilt of his sword.
And his father-in-law, Lord Anders Yronwood, the commander of the Dornish army, had a sinking face and was still studying the map at his desk.
Since the defeat in the offensive and defensive battle of Highgarden, Anders has been unable to sleep at night for several days. His son-in-law Roger Alyon saw it and was worried in his heart.
He was not worried about the health of his father-in-law, but he was worried that if such a powerful father-in-law fell, his own interests would be harmed.
Moreover, the current situation of the Dornish army is not very good. The losses in the Battle of Highgarden were greater than everyone imagined. If they really lost the battle and returned to Dorne in despair, Prince Doran would blame him.
"Father, why don't we consider Villas' proposal?"
Roger Alyon looked at his father-in-law's face, and then tentatively spoke.
The armies of the Reach are now surrounding Star Shuttle City.
The commander of the Reach army is nominally Duke Mace Tyrell, the Warden of the South, but in fact everyone knows that the commander of the Reach army is Willas Tyrell, the eldest son of Duke Mace Tyrell.
.
He integrated the armies of the Hightowers and the Tyrells, led his troops to surround Starshuttle City, and assumed a posture of eating all the Dornish armies in one go.
At the same time, he also proposed the idea of peace talks.
As long as Anders Yronwood surrenders, the Tyrell family is willing to help the Yronwood family defeat the Martell family to seize Sunspear and restore the glory of the Yronwood family as the "High King of Dorne".
