Chapter 65 Battle of Sulphur River

Emond keenly caught the change in his mother's expression, and immediately stood up and raised his glass. He also raised his glass to Lucrez, who was grabbing roasted pigeon to eat: "Nephew, your battle on the stone road was indeed heroic. , typed." He bit out the next few words with force. "The majesty of House Targaryen, this glass of wine is dedicated to you. And to your brave knight Valarr."

While using his eyes to signal Big Aegon to do something quickly, he would not let his mother do anything bad. When Allison heard that her son was toasting Rhaenyra's bastard in such a polite tone, her eyes flicked back.

On the other hand, Damon next to him beat his leg in annoyance, and looked at Emond with a much more interesting look. Jakaris also looked at his uncles and his knights opposite with a solemn expression.

However, Longzell kept smiling. He just watched the stiff brother in the center of the hall escape from Leila Celtija's arms as if he was being amnestied, and raised a glass of wine from Longzell's table as a response. Received a toast from Prince Aemond.

Big Aegon also stood up with a glass of wine, came to Longzel and Valar, and said quietly: "Cousin, I heard that you are engaged to a girl from the Tully family. How about that girl? I "I'm telling you." Before she could finish her words, Alison, who noticed her eldest son's abnormal smile, turned her attention to her eldest son again, staring at her eldest son with hatred, but it was inconvenient for her in this situation. Just go grab your son's ears.

Before he could finish speaking, Long Zell raised his own wine glass and touched it with the prince. He whispered: "Prince, pay attention to the occasion. I will hold a martial arts competition at the wedding, and you will come too."

"Uh." Great Aegon looked at Long Zell's deep purple eyes and suddenly felt a chill in his back. He swallowed the dirty jokes with a guilty conscience. As for the tournament, even though his swordsmanship was not good under Sir Christon's training, No, but participating in a martial arts tournament is really a bit embarrassing.

"The wine steward is enough." Long Zell added.

Big Aegon's eyes lit up and he took a sip from the wine glass. "It's settled, cousin, I will perform well at your wedding." Then he raised his glass and walked towards Valarr who was forced to return to the dance floor again.

Valar breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly raised his glass to greet him.

"Cousin Valarr, if you don't like that flat-chested little girl, I know where to find something good-looking in King's Landing. I will take you with me next time you come to King's Landing." Seeing the increasingly dangerous look in Valarr's eyes, Aegon immediately stood up He smiled and said, "I'm just kidding. My father is right. If possible, I would very much agree with my daughter getting engaged to Cousin Rey."

Alison finally found an opportunity to interject. "My dear, how can a royal marriage be so hasty."

"This is a matter of the Council." Viserys dismissed Allison's protests coldly. "The marriage of the two dragon king families is an important matter for us descendants of the ancient nation. This is also the promise we made when we welcomed back our cousins. Queen, the king's promise, even the gods can hardly change it."

After saying that, Viserys looked at Rhaenyra: "Daughter, I heard that Ronzel is engaged to Miss Diana Tully and will be married in four months. I hope that your child Aegon can marry Ronzel. What do you think about your future daughter’s engagement?”

"Father, it would be an honor for Aegon and me," Rhaenyra said, raising her glass in a toast to Ronzel. "Cousin, what do you think?"

"This is also part of the promise." Ronzel said with a smile: "I have no reason to refuse."

This time the smile returned to Damon's face. On the contrary, Aemond's expression changed again and again. Finally he sat down with gritted teeth. Alison also sat in her seat angrily, cutting the steak in front of her with some dissatisfaction.

Xiaolu, on the other hand, feels that the atmosphere is not right, but so what, anyway, his knight is the protagonist now. If anything happens, his mother, stepfather, eldest brother, as well as his knight and Long Zell will protect him. All he needs to do is Just consider his brother Joffrey who comes to grab food from time to time.

"Valar, what do you think of Miss Leila?" Longzell coaxed away Asuor, who had been pestering him, and picked up Valar, who had just escaped from the dance floor.

"If you don't dance this awkward dance, Miss Leila is not as wise as Miss Diana, but she is also full of responsibility and patience." The silver-haired girl patiently correcting her movements echoed in Valar's mind. The sight made me laugh. "I don't care who I marry."

"You have to think carefully. Miss Leila's only advantage is that she has the blood of Ancient Valyria." Long Zell changed his serious tone. "Still a nobleman of Westeros with a long history."

If they were concerned about ancient Valyrian blood, a considerable part of the population they brought back from Volantis had Valyrian blood. Residents with silver or light blond hair could be seen everywhere in the current prince's territory. But they are not nobles.

Or at least the purpose of the Varese family's marriage now is to completely integrate into the Westeros aristocratic system.

"Brother, you know me." Valar curled his lips. "I've never been a brainy person. It doesn't matter who I marry. It's up to you to decide."

Ronzel looked at Leila Settiga who had returned to his seat, smiled and shook his head: "Marriage matters still require your decision."

"Then, can we first follow Miss Diana's method and invite Miss Layla to stay in Dragon's Nest City for a while." Valar whispered: "This will also allow us to fully understand each other."

"You tell her yourself." Longzel knew that his brother would definitely make this suggestion, and shook his head helplessly. "If Miss Leila agrees, take her with you when you go back."

"Okay."

The banquet is still going on.

Dorne in the south is still in chaos.

The Sulphur River controlled by the Uller family ushered in three armies after the New Year.

Earl Arion of God's Grace led an army of 400 cavalry, 1,500 infantry and 1,200 mercenaries from the east, vowing to liquidate the "robber false king" of the Uller family. Prince Keolan led an army of 2,000 mercenaries and soldiers from the Martell family stationed in Vance City, ready to meet Earl Arion's army at any time.

Finally, the outer city of Tianji City was conquered, and the Yronwood family, who trapped all the members of the Fowler family in the inner castle on the mountain, also freed up their hands. Earl Jordain led 2,000 soldiers to the south to eliminate this threat from the south. Count Kogel sent 200 cavalrymen to join Count Jodain's team. He still had to guard against the revenge of the Dain family.

The revenge came as expected. Albin "King" led an army of 4,000 people to the city of Sandstone, threw corpses with catapults, and polluted the only well in the city.

Sandstone, which lost its water source, was forced to surrender. Albin "King" personally cut off the heads of Count Kogel and his eldest son, then filled up the wells of Sandstone and marched eastward.

Before him, Obara's cavalry also arrived in the Sulphur River Basin. Wandering around in the Great Desert.

Uller "King" ordered the city gates to be closed, the prison gate fort was defended, and the wells outside the city were filled up, and the corpses were thrown into the lakes and streams of the oasis.

For a while, except for the Uller family and the two parties with abundant supplies, Albin "King" fell into thirst and was forced to retreat with his army. During the retreat, they encountered a sneak attack by the Uller family and withdrew from the Great Desert after losing two hundred people.

Facing the Hellgate, the two families chose to fight each other at the same time.

The process of the battle was not complicated. After the two armies fought for a while, the outnumbered Yronwood family fell into a disadvantage. The bastard of Earl Jordayn and the bastard of Lewyn Yronwood both died under the spears of the Dornishmen. But the situation of the war changed rapidly.

The Hellgate suddenly opened the city gate, and the army of the Uller family came out in full force, changing the situation almost in an instant. The flank of Earl Arrion, who had the advantage in numbers, was broken, and the mercenaries fled in an instant. Earl Arrion was stabbed off his horse by an unknown soldier with a spear, and then torn to pieces by a group of militiamen eager to make achievements.

Martell's army collapsed instantly. The soldiers of the Uller family rushed directly to Earl Jordayn's army, but ran into Obara's cavalry who came out of the camp head-on.

The infantry of the Uller family was broken, and the "King" Uller himself was cut in half by Obara's sword.

Unfortunately, Albin had already retreated, and Obara was forced to gather the cavalry and withdraw from the battlefield.

Lord Jordain won the battle just when he was about to collapse. The prison gate changed hands, and the Uller family disappeared from the stage of Dorne.

The second update is here, and it is getting closer to 3,000 words per chapter. Tomorrow, the Grand Parade plot will end and the "Jousting Competition" plot will begin.
