Chapter 409 Bear! Bear!

Stormland.

In the southern part of the rainforest, the Fog Forest City.

"Hiss..."

The light silver dragon raised its head and roared, swooping down from the sky and spewing dragon flames.

Outside the bluestone walls, countless Dorne soldiers fled in all directions, screaming and wailing.

"Retreat! Hide in the rainforest!"

"Scorpion crossbow... Aim at the dragon..."

The battlefield was filled with smoke, broken wheels piled up, and there were inevitably charred corpses lying all over the place.

As a siege weapon, the scorpion crossbow was inevitably the first target of the dragon.

Along with the destruction, there were also catapults and siege vehicles.

Woo woo woo——

The passionate horn sounded, bringing the dawn of victory.

On the main road in the southwest of the rainforest, a team of storm knights numbering thousands rushed in, charging like a torrent of steel.

There were about thousands of Dorne soldiers, and after the front line collapsed, they became lambs to be slaughtered.

After one round of charge, the enemy was killed and their armor and weapons were abandoned.

"Open the city gate! Counterattack!"

On the parapet of the Mist Forest City, a large banner with a white owl rose, and a counterattack was launched with a loud shout.

The city gate slowly opened, and dozens of knights charged in front, followed by hundreds of infantrymen.

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

"Haiyan, don't let them run away!"

Lannino rode on the back of the dragon, shouting loudly with glowing eyes.

"Hiss..."

Haiyan's hissing was melodious, and his body dived repeatedly with agility, and the dragon flames like pillars of fire slaughtered mercilessly.

"Hahaha, good job..."

Lannino laughed loudly, and his mouth was opened too wide and he was almost choked by the wind.

After a violent cough, he hurriedly held the shaking helmet.

Haiyan glanced at him, deliberately slowed down, and blocked the Dornish soldiers fleeing towards the Royal Forest.

Thousands of elite cavalrymen, an adult dragon.

The outcome of the war was in no doubt.

The Dornishmen fled for their lives until noon, when the main army fled out of the rainforest and hid.

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

After the battle, the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield and the support troops entered the Mistwood City.

The lord family of the Mistwood City was the Mettrin family.

Count Mettrin was the black-haired man who bravely counterattacked and entertained the reinforcements.

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

Metrin held Lannino's hand with a very enthusiastic attitude.

During the First Battle of Dorne, the Mettrin family was poisoned by the Dornishmen, and all the direct members died.

Many years have passed, but this hatred still continues.

Lannino rode a dragon to burn a large number of Dornishmen to death, which won the envy and admiration of Count Mettrin.

"My Lord, let me send a message to the main force first, and then accept your hospitality."

Lannino was smiling, but he was not overwhelmed by the joy of victory, and he was always thinking about the battle situation.

With the sea snake Corliss's words and deeds, Lanino's personal ability should not be underestimated.

Count Metalin did not dare to neglect it and ordered people to bring paper and pen.

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

Lanino looked serious and wrote two letters to Lord Royce in Crow's Nest and Aemond in the Rainforest.

After the rescue of Mist Forest City was successful, they formed an encirclement of the Dorne troops besieging Stonehelm.

With one order, the war could be won.

...

Time flew by and it was noon.

The raven flew to the Royal Forest Station, which was closer, and handed the letter to Aemond.

"Hiss..."

The ugly mud dragon screamed sharply and flapped its wide brown wings to hover over the camp.

On weekdays, patrolling the camp is the sheep thief's responsibility.

Strictly supervise every goat in the camp!

In the open space, Aemond was annoyed, holding two letters in his hands.

One letter came from King's Landing, describing Aegon and Helena holding a "blind date meeting".

Aemond frowned and said unhappily: "Mother is really, why did you marry my sister off."

In the entire Red Castle, my sister is the best to him.

My sister is not yet an adult, but my mother forced her to marry out. It's too much!

Glancing at the content of Aegon in 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 Aegon.

A guy who only knows how to whore.

The second letter was opened, and his little face wrinkled immediately.

Looking around to make sure no one was peeping, Aemond said disgustedly: "How did Lanino win so quickly?"

He still hoped to delay it for a while and wear down the defense of Stonehelm.

He couldn't help but feel sick when he thought of the Sven family's face of promoting a bastard to the throne.

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

He casually threw the shredded paper into the air, called out to the idle sheep thieves, and rode the dragon to hunt down the Dornishmen hiding in the rain forest.

...

Dorne.

Outside Sunspear, the Water Garden.

With the news of defeat coming back one after another, the luxurious garden with carved beams and painted buildings also seemed to be dim.

In a white stone attic, Keoren opened his heart and leaned against the stone pillar to think.

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

A winding stream flows gently, surrounded by rockery and trees with coconuts and palm trees unique to tropical areas.

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

"Hehe..."

A little girl with black hair and dark skin stepped on the water by the stream, splashing water at the maid mischievously.

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

Keoren frowned slightly, and a storm of thoughts was going on in his mind.

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

A tall young knight reported.

Keoren turned his head and looked at the other party.

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

On the young man's armor, there is a family emblem of "a sword crossed with a meteor".

This is a noble family with a long history and good at fighting in Dorne.

The Dayne family, whose fiefdom is Starfall City.

The Dayne family wields a giant sword named "Dawn".

It is said that the blade is forged with the heart of a fallen star, and its power is not inferior to that of Valyrian steel weapons.

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

The tall young man in front of him is the "Sword of the Dawn" of this generation of the Dayne family, Davos Dayne.

Kooren glanced at the giant sword Dawn and said with a little appreciation: "Don't pay attention to it. War is not only based on the number of troops, but also on ravens and intelligence."

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

Unfortunately, the level is really limited.

In the end, only Davos Dayne, who is very skilled, was left as a personal guard.

Davos's purple eyes were solemn, and he said puzzledly: "Prince, the defense of Stonehelm is empty, it should have been broken long ago."

The young guard suspected that Earl Yronwood, who led the army to fight, was playing tricks.

"Haha, you underestimated Lord Olifa."

Kooren laughed and pretended to be mysterious: "To tell you the truth, Stonehelm was not broken because of my instruction."

"Why?"

Davos was stunned for a moment, full of doubts.

Young people are young after all, and they don't understand the old man's scheming.

Kooren crossed his arms and said proudly: "Targaryens have dragons. We broke through Stonehelm in one go, but we were burned to death by dragons in the end."

"Compared to being trapped in the city, it is 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.

Kooren 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 knows, the coalition forces in the Stormlands are not united as one.

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

Davos hurriedly replied: "The Sea King sent three supply ships, all of which are iron and crossbows."

"Tsk tsk, it is worthy of being a free trade city-state, it is rich."

Kooren smacked his lips, very envious.

On second thought, Braavos supported Dorne with weapons, and it seems that it also supported the three women's kingdoms with weapons.

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

Can they hold back Targaryen's Rhaegar, Daemon and Rhaenys?

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

Make the chaos as big as possible.

These three adult dragonborns are busy, and the dragon riders that the Iron Throne can send out are very low in threat.

Davos still didn't understand, and asked in depth: "Prince, what about Mistwood City...?"

"Don't worry, we'll see soon."

Chorren raised a sneer and said, "In order to deal with that Velaryon, I sent people to search Pentos."

"Father!"

As he was speaking, Marisandra ran over and threw herself into her father's arms.

"What's wrong, my little princess?"

Keoren's smile immediately turned from cold to warm, and he doted on his daughter's face with his chin.

Alexandra dodged with a smile and made a request: "Father, I want a dragon."

"Ahem..."

Keoren was almost choked to death and coughed repeatedly.

A dragon?

His good daughter was really brave.

He still wanted a dragon but couldn't find it.

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

"Then catch me a Targaryen."

Alexandra's eyes were bright, as if she was making a wish on a shooting star.

Keolun was helpless. It was really hard to satisfy him to put his daughter down.

After playing with his naughty daughter, he patted her on the butt and told her to go away.

Looking at Davos who was not looking away, Keolun frowned and said seriously: "Notify Earl Uller that the general attack can be launched in the Vulture Mountains."

If you want to win the war, it is obviously not enough to rely on only one battlefield in Cape Wrath.

Prince's Pass and Bone Road are indispensable.

The River Bay has been rich since ancient times, and Keolun has coveted it for a long time.

"Yes, Prince."

Davos retreated in response and looked 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 Mist Forest City.

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

"Hiss..."

Haiyan was lying in the back garden, enjoying the goat brought by the servants.

Also coming was Cole, who was looking for his lover.

Lanino left the banquet alone after drinking halfway through, and his whereabouts were unknown.

Cole circled around the light silver Haiyan, but did not see Lanino's shadow.

"Where did this guy go again?"

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

Since the battlefield moved from the disputed land to the storm land, Lanino could not be caught all day long, and those who didn't know would think he was abandoned.

He grabbed a servant and asked, "Have you seen Sir Lanino?"

The servant trembled and pointed in a direction.

Cole looked in that direction without saying a word.

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

From a distance, a familiar singing voice was heard.

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

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

Cole's face lit up when he recognized the voice of Lanino.

He took two steps and stopped again.

Because he heard another familiar voice.

In addition to Lanino, there was another man singing with him.

Cole's eyes flickered, and he approached quietly, pushing aside the flowers and grass to see the rockery.

He caught his eye.

Lanino's face was flushed, his upper body was bare, and he was holding a bottle of wine in his hand.

A handsome blond man was also shirtless, hugging Lanino's waist tightly.

The two behaved intimately, as if they were old friends for many years.

Cole's face sank, and he turned as black as the bottom of a pot in an instant.

He knew the blond man.

At this time, Lanino was drunk and shouted happily: "Joffrey, celebrate your return to my side."

The blond man had fair skin and began to touch him.

Lanino felt comfortable being touched and continued to sing: "Bear! Bear! People are saying, come and see the beauty!"
