Chapter 445: Burning Sunspear
Chapter 445 Burning Sunspear City
In the corridor of the old palace, Davos walked in a hurry, looking for the prince's heirs one by one.
at the same time.
The palace was a mess, the attendants were packing up packages, the soldiers were getting ready, and everything was ready to leave the city.
Davos walked in the Tower of the Sun, and then went to the Water Garden outside the city.
While busy, night falls.
Sunspear, east coast.
As a town surrounded by the sea on three sides, you can see a beach surrounded by rocks after passing through a desert road not far away.
The moon has few stars and dark clouds are drifting.
Davos walked on the beach, looking unusually silent.
He held a two- or three-year-old girl in his arms, and followed a five- or six-year-old boy by his legs.
The two children were wrapped tightly in silk, their faces tense.
“Lord Davos, must father send us away?”
Quill Martell asked timidly.
Davos looked calmer and replied: "Don't be afraid, Dorne will win this war sooner or later, and you will come back."
“Why fight?”
Tears filled Quill's eyes, and his childish voice had a cry.
He does not have the precocious wisdom of his sister Alexandra, and instinctively hates wars that destroy a peaceful life.
Davos paused, raised his eyes to look at the crescent moon, and sighed helplessly: "This question is difficult. There is a war every minute and every second in the world. The difference lies in the number of people participating."
He once heard a story told by his grandmother.
A farmer lost a mule and happened to see his neighbor getting an extra mule. The two got into a fight.
The fight between the two sides attracted the whole village to form gangs to help.
Someone was injured in the chaos, and there were relatives and friends of the injured person in the next village, which triggered a war between the two villages.
The war between the two villages affected the harvest and affected the lord's tax collection.
The lord could not collect taxes and went to war with other lords for gold.
In the end, the war was like a plague, spreading to every inch of the continent.
In the final analysis, war is about plunder and capital.
The Iron Throne is powerful, and Dorne will be beaten.
The stronger Dorne becomes, the more likely the Iron Throne's status will be shaken.
The two sides are located on the same continent, and it is inevitable to escape from a war.
Quill was half-aware, his black eyes were filled with tears, and he was immersed in the sadness of separation.
Hurrah, clack, clack!
The evening wind stirred up the waves, which crashed onto the beach.
Outside the reef area, a small canoe was rising and falling, like a child drifting away from home.
“Children, it’s time for us to hit the road.”
Daves took off the white cloak on his back and walked to the canoe with the two children in his arms without any explanation.
Deep in the night, two larger small cargo ships were floating on the sea, waiting to receive their respective "cargoes".
Davos got into the canoe and paddled closer to one of the cargo ships.
Soon, the canoe hit the bottom of the cargo ship.
“Man, I’ll put the rope on the rope and you can bring the child up.”
Standing on the deck was a strong man with a white beard, speaking Valyrian and throwing down a thick hemp rope.
Daves glanced at the sail, and saw the head of a cold tiger.
It was confirmed that it was the connecting ship. Davos was holding Corianne on his chest and Quill was carrying behind him.
boom-
Climbing onto the ship quickly, Davos untied the silk tied to Corianni's chest, lowered his head and reminded: "Take good care of the little princess, the prince will be very grateful to Governor Tesriul."
“Of course, the Governor is the most hospitable.”
The strong man with the white beard smiled brightly and went to pick up the child.
“That’s good, I’ll also send Prince Quill away.”
“Don’t worry, the ship is coming.”
"What?"
Davos was stunned when he heard this and turned back in surprise.
——
Suddenly, a dagger was inserted into the back of his head, and the tip pierced his jaw.
"Feel sorry."
“All men are mortal.”
The strong man with the white beard changed his tone of voice when he spoke, and casually tore off his face, revealing a foreign face.
Fluffy brown curly hair, weathered vicissitudes of life, and a mouth that is always smiling.
"ah!"
Things happened too fast. Blood sprayed on the two children, causing screams.
Colleane was being held in the arms of the murderer, her screams almost tore her throat, and her little body was convulsing like an epilepsy.
Xiliu looked at her with pity and clicked her tongue: "Don't cry, I won't kill the little baby."
Speaking, he kicked off the elevated bamboo legs and stared at the miserable Davos.
The dagger penetrated the back of the head. Davos was bleeding from all his orifices and was as stiff as a corpse.
Blood surged from the mouth, and the silver armor was stained with blood.
“Ho ho…”
Davos's instinctive breathing was as hoarse as a broken blower, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier.
At the last glance of his life, he saw a small cargo ship approaching from the deep sea.
Like a flashback, he retained a trace of thought.
The assassin did not lie to him, the ship really came.
“Prince, encountered betrayal…”
The remaining consciousness was unable to make any sound. Davos was in a trance, and his body leaned back uncontrollably.
boom-
The stiff body fell heavily onto the deck, stirring up a layer of non-existent dust.
The huge sword slung on his back made a crisp sound and broke free from the shackles of the shoulder strap.
The then-Foxiao Shenjian died in the task of protecting the prince's relatives.
“Woo woo woo…”
The two children broke down and cried.
Hiliu sighed sadly, helpless to the two children, bent down and picked up the broad sword.
“The Dawn of the Foxiao Divine Sword, a legendary weapon.”
Picking up the heavy sword, Xiliu looked at it carefully and agreed with the crown prince's foresight.
In a head-to-head battle, he is definitely no match for the Foxiao Divine Sword.
But it doesn’t matter.
Dorn is good at assassination, and he just needs an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Another cargo ship approached, with hundreds of people standing on the deck.
Robb, who was supposed to be in Myr, stood on the edge of the deck with a solemn expression: "Take care of the children, Lord Corlys will lay siege to the city before dawn."
"give it to me."
Xiliu bowed gracefully and said seriously: "Everyone needs to be served." Under the dark night, the two cargo ships parted ways.
The heart-rending wail of a child could be heard faintly.
…
Sunspear City, the old palace.
Keolen lives alone in the palace, sleeping soundly on a soft bed.
Inside the bed curtain surrounded by light gauze, the strong body is fully armed and wears a suit of hard plate armor.
At midnight.
Keolen frowned in his sleep, as if he had a bad dream.
Gradually, a row of sweat broke out on his forehead.
"ah!"
Keolen exclaimed and stood up suddenly.
Handsome face was full of fear, his pupils were trembling, as if he had encountered great terror.
“Daves, why haven’t you come back yet?”
Keolen gasped for breath and muttered to himself.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly remembered that he had ordered the other party to send the two children to Xiaohai, and he should be on the way to take action at this moment.
Ke Olun breathed a sigh of relief and covered his forehead: "The defense of the Stepped Islands is lax, so the cargo ships of Braavos and Volantis will not be intercepted."
As far as he knew, Corlys Velaryon had almost exhausted the defense force of the Stepstone Islands in order to take revenge.
If Braavos can still send a fleet to attack, it will definitely regain control of the Stepstone Islands.
“Foolish King of the Sea, he forgets his righteousness at the sight of small gains.”
Ke Olun felt aggrieved and looked down on Neptune.
Have a second thought.
Ke Olun thought of Weir City and Yronwood City, and thought: "The Black Harbor Army will be stationed in Yronwood City, with an empty rear and the King of the Iron Throne in front. No matter which side they attack, they can turn the tide of the war."
The Dornish people know their castle better than anyone else.
“Before the dragon comes, we must leave the city before dawn and move the battlefield to a favorable terrain.”
Keolen shook his head to wake himself up.
But the more you shake it, the more dizzy your head becomes.
Unknowingly, I fell asleep again.
…
The next day, the morning sun has not yet risen.
It was early in the morning, the sky was in chaos, and a red sun was rising slowly.
The sea surface is undulating, the rising sun is level with the sea level, and the red glow reflects the same color of the sea and sky.
“Hiss…”
Suddenly, a loud dragon roar broke the silence of the sunrise.
Over the Shadow City, Yang Yan soared, and a mouthful of dragon flame was sprayed out without hesitation.
Just in time, the rising sun is halfway up.
Yangyan's body is golden, with brilliant golden scales and pale pink wing membranes, like a sun that has escaped from its orbit.
Boom! boom!
A large army marched from the Green Blood River and surrounded the gates of the Shadow City, using catapults to throw rolling stones.
Sunspear City, the sleeping palace.
Keolen opened his eyes suddenly and was awakened by the commotion.
“What’s going on, what happened!?”
Tearing off the curtains on the bed, Keolun hurried out of the palace.
He grabbed a guard and shouted, "Is the sea snake coming?"
The guard was trembling and said in a panic: "The army is blocking the shadow city, and a giant dragon is attacking the city buildings."
"asshole!"
Ke Olun felt uneasy, pushed the guard away, and staggered out.
While walking, he muttered: "There is a tunnel under Shadow City, and Sunspear cannot defend it."
While talking, I felt dizzy, and suddenly I felt so weak that I almost fell to the ground.
Keolun braced himself and raised an army.
He understood something at this moment.
No wonder the continent of Essos hates the dragon king and the dragon.
Before the appearance of dragons, the strength of Westeros was reflected in its thick armor, highly mobile cavalry, and indestructible castles.
After the appearance of the dragon, no matter how thick the armor was, it was burned through, and the cavalry became a toy to be played with at will.
Even the most important castle of a nobleman has lost the benefits of natural protection and solidity, and cannot stop the giant dragon with air supremacy.
Shadow City, outside the city wall.
A king's army of 3,000 men marched vigorously, manipulating siege engines to attack the city.
The sea snake had a stern expression on his face and shouted: "Let go!"
Boom! boom!
The catapult threw rolling stones and hit the brown city head.
The defenders only had a few hundred people, and they were unable to withstand the dragon's attack, and were quickly crushed.
The sea snake waved his hand: "Destroy the city!"
The soldiers pushed the siege vehicle forward and easily knocked open the unblocked city gate.
At this time, the morning sun rose slowly, and the sky was filled with burning clouds.
The sea snake looked up at the sky, its stiff face moved slightly, and there was indescribable excitement in its eyes.
…
"run!"
“Enter one by one, the exit is in the desert.”
In a corner of the Shadow City, Dornish soldiers surged wildly, scrambling to get into the secret passage.
One mile outside the city.
boom!
There was a muffled sound from the sand, and then it exploded with a pop, pushing out a wooden door.
Keolen’s head was covered with gravel, and he crawled out of the hole on his hands and feet.
"Hurry up, there is the Flowing Water Garden in front of you, go around it and take the path to Hunqiu."
A large number of soldiers crawled out, and Keolun led the troops into the desert.
There is no way to go on the main road, so it is safer to go through the desert.
Hunqiu is the closest to Sunspear City. We can get supplies there, so we can make long-term plans.
——
Stepping **** the sand, a strong wind roared overhead.
Keolen's whole body froze, the joy of escape disappeared, and he raised his head with difficulty.
The sky suddenly darkened, and shadows enveloped the earth, blocking the bright morning sun.
Overhead, the blue sky disappeared, replaced by a huge black dragon.
The dragon's vertical pupils are dark green, flashing with dangerous light, and it is at the top of the food chain.
“Dragon Flame!”
Suddenly, a clear voice came out.
The next second, green dragon flames poured down.
Keolun's teeth were chattering, and he only had time to see a silver-haired figure on the dragon's back, looking down at him with contempt.
The hot air rushed towards his face, and like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, Keolun burst into a desperate cry:
"No!"
