Chapter 409 Bear! Bear!

Stormland.

South of the rain forest, Wulin City.

"Hiss..."

The light silver dragon raised its head and roared, swooping down at low altitude and spitting dragon flames from its mouth.

Outside the city wall made of bluestone, countless Dornish soldiers fled in all directions, screaming and wailing continuously.

"Escape quickly! Hide in the rainforest!"

"Scorpion crossbow...aim at the dragon..."

The battlefield was filled with smoke, broken wheels piled up, and charred corpses lay scattered everywhere.

As a siege weapon, the scorpion crossbow is indispensable as the dragon's first target.

Also destroyed were catapults and siege engines.

Wuwuwu——

The passionate horn sounded, bringing the dawn of victory.

On the road southwest of the rainforest, a group of thousands of storm knights rushed forward, charging like a torrent of steel.

There were thousands of Dornish soldiers, but they were reduced to lambs to be slaughtered after their lines were defeated.

Charge in one round, and those who are killed will lose their armor.

"Open the city gate! Counterattack!"

On the female wall of Wulin City, a large white owl was raised, and a counterattack was launched under loud shouts.

The city gate slowly opened, dozens of knights charged forward, followed by hundreds of infantry.

Led by a tall and strong man with black hair and brown skin, he attacked the Dornish soldiers.

"Hai Yan, don't let them escape!"

Lanino rode on the dragon's back, shouting loudly with his eyes shining.

"Hiss..."

The sea smoke screamed melodiously, the figure swooped repeatedly with dexterity, and the dragon flames like fire pillars slaughtered mercilessly.

"Hahaha, great..."

Lanino laughed, opening his mouth so wide that he almost choked on the wind.

He coughed violently and hurriedly held his shaking helmet.

Hai Yan glanced sideways, deliberately slowing down and intercepting the Dornish soldiers fleeing towards the royal forest.

Thousands of elite cavalry and an adult dragon.

There is no doubt about the outcome of the war.

The Dornishmen fled for their lives and continued until noon, when large armies fled out of the rainforest to hide.

Even so, nearly two thousand dead souls were still left on the battlefield.

After the war, the soldiers cleaned the battlefield and supported the troops entering Wulin City.

The lord family of Mistwood City is the Maitellin family.

Count Meiterin was the dark-haired man who fought back heroically and entertained the reinforcements hospitably.

"Sir Lannino, thank you and your dragon Seasmoke!"

Maetelin took Lagnino's hand with a very enthusiastic attitude.

During the First Battle of Dorne, the Maetellin family was poisoned by the Dornish people, and all their direct members died.

After many years, this hatred still persists.

Lannino drove a dragon and burned a large number of Dornish people to death, which won the envy and admiration of Lord Metailine.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to send a message to the main force first, and then accept your hospitality."

Lanino was smiling broadly, but he was not dazzled by the joy of victory and was always thinking about the situation of the battle.

With the words and deeds of the sea serpent Corliss, Lanino's personal ability cannot be underestimated.

Count Meiterin did not dare to neglect and ordered someone to get paper and pen.

By the way, he ordered his servants to prepare cattle, sheep and fine wine to reward the army.

Lanino looked serious and wrote two letters respectively, passing them to Lord Royce of Crow's Nest City and Aemond of Rainforest Station.

After the rescue of Mistwood City was successful, the Dornish troops besieging Stonehelm City formed a siege.

With just one order, the war can be won.

…

Time flies and it’s noon.

The raven took the lead and flew to the closer Kingswood station, and the letter was handed into Aemond's hand.

"Hiss..."

The ugly mud dragon screamed shrilly and flapped its broad brown wings as it hovered over the camp.

On weekdays, it is the sheep thief's responsibility to patrol the camp.

Strictly supervise every goat in the camp!

In the open space, Aemond looked irritated and held two letters in his hand.

One letter comes from King's Landing, describing a "blind date" held by Aegon and Helena.

Aemond frowned and said displeasedly: "Really, mother, why did you marry your sister off?"

In the entire Red Fort, his sister was the best to him.

My sister is not yet an adult, and my mother forces her to marry outside. It’s really too much!

After glancing at Aegon's content on the letter, Aemond curled his lips and threw it away.

If it was about Rhaegar or little Daeron, he could still take a look.

Forget it Aegon.

A guy who only knows whoring.

When I opened the second letter, my face suddenly wrinkled.

Looking around to make sure no one was prying, Imond said in disgust: "Why did Lanino win so quickly?"

He also hoped to delay for a while and wear down the defense of Stonehelm City.

He couldn't help but feel sick when he thought of the Si Wen family's face in recommending an illegitimate son to the top.

He tore the letter into pieces in two strokes. Aemond sneered disdainfully: "A guy who has given up even blood relatives is not worthy of my rescue."

He threw shreds of paper into the sky, called out to idle sheep thieves, and rode a dragon to hunt down the Dornish people hiding in the rainforest.

…

Dorneland.

Outside Sunspear City, Flowing Water Garden.

News of the defeat came back one after another, and the luxurious garden with its intricately carved features became dim.

In a white stone attic, Ke Olun opened his mind and leaned against a stone pillar to think.

As far as the eye can see, it is the center of the garden.

A meandering creek flows, surrounded by rockeries and planted with coconuts and palm trees unique to tropical areas.

Soldiers wearing yellow-brown armor lined up in order, guarding every corner of the garden.

"whee……"

A little girl with black hair and dark skin was treading water at the edge of the stream, causing mischievous splashes of water towards the maid.

As if she was tired from playing, the little girl wiped the sweat from her forehead and ran to the attic.

Ke Olun frowned slightly, thinking in his mind.

"Prince, the war situation in Stormland is in decline, and Lord Yronwood has been asking for support."

A tall young knight reported.

Ke Olun turned his head when he heard the sound and looked at the other party.

He has short light blond hair, violet eyes, a tall body wearing silver armor, and a heavy giant sword hanging on his back.

The young man's armor was branded with the family crest of "a sword crossed with a shooting star".

This is a noble family with a long history and bravery in Dorne.

The fiefdom is the Dane family of Starfall City.

The Dane family owns a great sword named "Dawn".

The blade is said to be forged from the heart of a fallen star, and is as powerful as a Valyrian steel weapon.

The family title "Dawn Sword" is only awarded to knights who are considered qualified to wield the family heirloom sword "Dawn".

The tall young man in front of him is the "Dawn Sword" of the Dane family's generation, Davos Dane.

Ke Olun glanced at the Great Sword Dawn and said with some appreciation: "Don't worry about it, war depends not only on the number of troops, but also on ravens and intelligence."

Well aware of the dangers of war, he imitated the "Kingsguard" system and called on the knights of Dorne to form an exclusive guard.

Unfortunately, the level is really limited.

In the end, only the skilled Davos Dayne was left as the personal bodyguard.

Davos's purple eyes were solemn and he said in confusion: "Prince, Stonehelm City's defense is empty and should have been breached long ago."

The young guard suspected that Lord Yronwood, who was leading the battle, was up to something.

"Haha, you underestimate Lord Olifa."

Ke Olun chuckled and pretended to be mysterious: "To tell you the truth, Stonehelm City was not defeated because of my instructions."

"Why?"

Davos was stunned for a moment, full of doubts.

Young people are young after all and do not understand the sophistication of old people.

Keoren crossed his arms and said proudly: "The Targaryens have dragons. We can attack Stonehelm City in one go, but in the end we will still be burned to death by the dragons."

"Rather than being trapped in the city, it's better to wander in the rainforest and take advantage of mountain warfare."

Davos frowned and asked, "Then when can we win?"

Only fighting guerrilla warfare will waste troops in vain.

Ke Olun shook his head and said with deep eyes: "It is useless to capture a castle. What I want is for them to collapse internally and create opportunities for us."

As far as he knew, the coalition forces in Stormland were not united as a monolith.

After a short pause, he asked again: "Is there any news from Braavos?"

Davos quickly replied: "Sea King has sent three supply ships, all of which are iron weapons and crossbow bolts."

"Tsk tsk, it is indeed a free trade city. It is just rich."

Ke Olun clicked his tongue, feeling envious.

Then I thought about it, Braavos supported the weapons of Dorne, and it seemed that it also supported the weapons of the Three Women Kingdom.

I just don’t know how chaotic the three city-states can be.

Can Rhaegar, Daemon and Rhaenys hold back the Targaryens?

If that doesn't work, have Braavos mercenaries attack the ports of Pentos or Westeros.

The bigger the mess, the better.

These three adult dragonborn are unable to escape, and the threat from the dragon masters sent by the Iron Throne is very low.

Davos still didn't know why, and asked more carefully: "Prince, where is the fogwood city...?"

"Don't worry about it, we'll find out soon."

Ke Oran raised a sneer and said: "In order to deal with that Velaryon, I specially sent people to search in Pentos."

"Father!"

Just as he was talking, Malisandra ran over quickly and threw herself into her father's arms.

"What's wrong, my little princess?"

Ke Olun's smile immediately turned from cold to warm, and he nudged his daughter's face with his chin lovingly.

Alexandra laughed and ducked, appealing: "Father, I want a dragon."

"Ahem..."

Keolen almost choked to death and coughed repeatedly.

A dragon?

My good daughter really dares to speak.

He also wanted a dragon but couldn't find it anywhere.

Keoren coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment and educated him: "The dragon is in the hands of Targaryen, Martell only has a spear and wisdom."

"Then you catch me a Targaryen."

Alexandra's eyes were bright, as if she were wishing on a shooting star.

Ke Olun was helpless and put his daughter down, feeling a little unsatisfied.

After having a bit of fun with his little brat daughter, he slapped her butt and told her to get out.

Looking back at Davos, who was staring intently, Keoulun said solemnly: "Inform Earl Uller that the Vulture Mountains can launch a general attack."

If you want to win the war, it is obviously difficult to rely on only one battlefield in Cape Wrath.

Prince's Pass and Bone Road are essential.

The Reach has always been rich and prosperous, and Koolen has coveted it for a long time.

"Yes, Prince."

Davos retreated in response, looking for the maester to release the raven.

…

Stormland.

That night.

In order to thank the reinforcements for the rescue, Earl Metalin held a celebration banquet in Wulin City.

Except for the standing army guarding the city gate, the castle was in chaos.

"Hiss..."

Haiyan crawled in the back garden, enjoying the goat sent by the attendant.

Coming together, there is also Cole who is looking for a lover.

Lanino left the banquet alone in the middle of the drink and disappeared without a trace.

Cole circled around the light silver sea smoke, but did not see the shadow of Lanino.

"Where did this guy go?"

Cole sighed deeply, dissatisfied with his lover's avoidance.

Ever since the battlefield moved from the Disputed Land to the Storm Land, Lanino could not be caught day and night, and those who didn't know thought he had been abandoned.

He grabbed an attendant and asked, "Have you seen Sir Lanino?"

The attendant trembled and pointed in one direction.

Without saying a word, Cole looked in that direction.

It was an artificial lake, surrounded by lawns surrounded by several rockeries.

From a distance, I heard a familiar singing voice.

"Bear, bear, bear! All black and brown, covered with plush..."

This is a ballad that is popular among both nobles and common people, "The Bear and the Beautiful Girl".

Cole's face lit up, and he recognized that this was Lanino's voice.

Before taking two steps, he stopped again.

Because he heard another familiar voice.

Besides Lanino, there was another man singing with him.

Cole's eyes flashed, he came closer and moved the flowers and grass to look at the rockery.
