Chapter 424 Aemond's little thoughts
“Sheep thieves, first deal with the enemies on top of the city.”
Aemond shouted loudly, giving up on sniping the archers.
The sheep thief's dragon head was upwards, and he turned around and sprayed dragon flames towards the Dornish soldiers who were working hard to defend the city.
Boom—
Brown mud-colored dots of dragon flames scattered, and the fire oil exploded, igniting the fire along with the rolling wood.
The gray-white city wall bloomed with a gorgeous **** spectacle.
"Hahaha…"
In the sky above the blood and fire, the ugly mud dragon soared back and forth, accompanied by a burst of wanton laughter.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, several fine steel spears flew out, trying to save face.
Aemond lay on the dragon's back and shouted at the bottom.
It is noon.
“What are you doing standing around? Attack the city!”
A jet-black dragon shadow suddenly appeared, plunging down into the clouds, carrying billowing green fire.
There was no mercy at all, and dozens of Dornish soldiers were burned to ashes.
Menghuo's well-proportioned body swooped down like a shuttle, and a large mouthful of dragon flames was ready to erupt.
Eamond rode on the Sheep Thief and made air strikes over and over again, causing a lot of damage.
Under the city wall, the Storm Warrior paused and looked up at the women and children.
“What are you doing? Don't run around.” Emond was confused.
Helena's expression was dull and crisp: "Dragon Flame!"
This scene happened so fast that people were caught off guard.
Boom—
The sheep thief dodged nimbly and neighed strangely as if in demonstration.
The aura of ashes swept through the entire Stonehelm City. The sheep thief turned his head in fear and quickly fled away with the driver.
The Dornishmen defended the city without fear of death, and the Storm Warriors attacked the city with enthusiasm.
When they saw the familiar faces, many people yelled mean curses.
“Dragon Flame!”
If you can't beat them, push them out without losing any face.
“Hiss…”
Eamond didn't bother to take a second look.
A stalemate formed over who was stronger, the siege engines or the city gates.
Having said that, a dozen old, weak, women and children were forced towards the city wall with spears.
Suddenly, another loud dragon roar spread, and a giant blue dragon rushed out of the surging clouds.
“Hiss!”
The hellish green flames formed into a giant fireball, hitting the gray-white city wall like a meteorite.
Without waiting for the Dorn people to respond, the stealing sheep thieves passed the dragon wing, and looked back to open the dragon kiss again.
Screams rang out one after another, and a group of archers hiding in the dark was burned to ashes.
As time goes by, casualties on both sides increase.
I want to shoot it, but I can't.
The Dornish officer hid behind the female wall and shouted despicably: "Retreat immediately, or kill all the prisoners!"
In an instant, the city wall seemed to turn into a candle, melting and collapsing in large areas.
There was a loud bang, the smoke exploded into a mushroom shape, and more than a dozen prisoners were submerged in the fireworks.
Rumble —
Suddenly, there was a commotion on the city wall, and more than a dozen old, weak, women and children were pushed around.
A voice as cold as the winter of the twelfth lunar month came.
The Dornishmen held on, delaying the Storm Warriors from breaking through the city.
“Get away, everyone!”
The soldiers on both sides were startled. They did not expect the captives to die so hastily.
The siege war is intensifying.
The sheep thief swooped down, spraying the city with a puff of dragon flame.
Three giant dragons hover in the sky, like three suns of different colors.
Aemond was dumbfounded and looked at the sudden appearance of his brothers and sisters.
Rhaegar glanced at him and lectured him: "What a fart, I'll deal with you later!"
"ah?"
Aemond is afraid.
The dream fire flew past the side of the sheep thief, Helena said with a sullen face: "You're done."
"Don't…"
Aemond looked bitter and stretched out a hand to save him.
Helena shook her head and flew away on Menghuo coldly.
The siege has not been completed yet, so I have no time to deal with my bratty brother.
Aemond turned his head and looked at his elder brother pitifully.
He didn't do anything wrong?
Glutton didn't give him a chance at all. After flying high into the sky, he turned head down, spread his wings and fell straight down.
Rhaegar's face was indifferent, and his hair was flying around as if he was thinking independently.
Boom—
The black dragon flew into the air and raised its head. It was less than ten meters away from the ground and landed firmly on its hind legs.
Dust is flying and filling the battlefield.
The storm warrior trembled all over, facing the approaching dragon and forgetting to even attack the city.
Rhaegar raised his chin and said calmly: "Get out of the way!"
The Storm Warriors dispersed quickly, leaving no siege engines behind.
Rhaegar was secretly satisfied and patted the black dragon on its back.
The glutton roared, and its majestic figure suddenly turned around, its thick dragon tail like a thorn in the front.
Suddenly, the city gate that had been unbreakable for so long was reduced to rubbish.
The storm warriors widened their eyes and subconsciously swallowed their saliva to calm down.
The solid wood door panels were broken into pieces, and holes were poked out of the iron sheet. The city gate turned into tatters in an instant.
Rhaegar gave an order: "The city is broken, charge me!"
“Long live the Young Dragon King!”
“Long live the prince…”
The storm warriors cheered and rushed into the city with their giant shields in hand.
Fighting for the Targaryens was awesome.
The dragon saves 70% of the trouble.
Rhaegar watched quietly and directed the gluttons to launch an air strike.
"Roar…"
Gluttony roared, and the dragon's tail swung wildly behind his back.
Fortunately, the city gate was not strong due to the impact, otherwise the tip of its tail would have been broken off.
Rhaegar twitched the corners of his mouth and gave it a look of understanding.
His original intention was that the dragon flame would open the way, but who would have thought that the glutton would not take the ordinary path.
After dawdling for a while, the black dragon took to the air again.
The cooperation between Menghuo and the sheep-thief Shuanglong has brought a devastating blow to the soldiers defending the city.
As soon as the green dragon flame came out, the battle ended faster than pouring beans. “Run quickly, the dragon is coming.”
“The secret passage, get in...”
The city turned into a sea of flames, and the Dornish soldiers howled miserably, each one on fire.
At night.
Rhaegar was dressed in black robes and walked quickly across the gray-white city wall.
Helena and Eamond are like two followers, hanging on behind each step.
The two siblings are wearing black clothes and a green cloak, and the other is wearing green clothes and a green cloak.
Helena's face was expressionless, and she muttered something from time to time.
Aemond drooped his head like a defeated little **** and did not dare to speak.
As we walked along, there were Storm Warriors cleaning up the battlefield everywhere.
Under the moonlight, a large green bonfire was lit outside the city.
A mountain of unrecognizable soldiers piled up, and a black dragon breathed out dragon flames.
“Prince, the head count is complete.”
A tall military officer came to report.
Rhaegar stopped and asked, "How many people are there?"
The officer hesitated: "More than 2,300 people were killed in Dorne and 3,500 were captured, including dozens of nobles and knights."
Rhaegar frowned: "At least ten thousand people must besiege Stonehelm City."
“It is said that hundreds of people escaped from the secret passage and are still being traced.”
The officer lowered his head in guilt and whispered: "There is also a group of people who looted the property near Stonehelm City and smuggled it away in advance."
The Dornishmen are like locusts, sweeping away everything in their path.
With Stonehelm City as the center point, a large number of villages were looted as far as Crow's Nest City in the north and as far as Misty Forest City in the east.
Rhaegar sighed secretly when he heard this.
The Dornishmen are coming in a menacing manner, but they are actually determined to die, and they are here to steal food and die.
Similar decisions have been made during the cold winters in the north.
“Keolen is so cruel.”
Rhaegar's eyes dimmed and he looked high at the Dornish prince.
The officer asked: "Prince, the dungeon is full, do you still need to build a temporary prison?"
“Are they worthy?”
Rhaegar looked directly at him and said coldly: "The nobles and knights will seize him, and ordinary prisoners of war will be executed."
Nobles cannot be killed and are usually kept in exchange for captured prisoners of war.
He does not have the patience to manage ordinary soldiers.
Since you want to die, then all of you will die.
The officer's scalp was numb from being stared at, and he quickly resigned: "Yes, Prince."
Rhaegar withdrew his gaze, glanced at his younger brothers and sisters behind him, and said, "Follow me."
Inside the castle.
The three brothers and sisters returned to the reception hall together.
Emond was scared all the way and said nervously: "Brother, why are you here suddenly?"
Moved to Helena's side again and said: "Sister."
Trying to awaken the blood and family ties with the words of brother and sister.
Helena glanced sideways and moved silently.
She was afraid that blood would be splattered on her body.
…Eamond.
So scared~
Rhaegar suddenly turned around, stared at him with sharp eyes, and said: "Earl Sven died in battle, Olifa Yronwood escaped, and you burned all the prisoners of the Sven family."
Speak calmly and state the facts.
"I did not do it on purpose…"
Aemond shrank his neck like a restless ostrich.
“It's not intentional? Then what else is intentional?”
Rhaegar looked unkind and raised his hands high.
“I'm sorry, I didn't expect the Dornish general to run away.”
Aemond was frightened and quickly closed his eyes.
boom-
The breeze brushed past my ears, and a big hand landed on my shoulder, neither light nor heavy.
Eamond shivered, not feeling pain for a long time, and he opened his eyes timidly.
After blinking, Rega's expression returned to calm, and his eyes were as deep as water.
“Big brother~”
Aemond pursed his lips.
“Aemond, I have rarely beaten you, and Aegon knows more about this.”
Rhaegar stared and said: "In my opinion, you should be a smart boy. You can tell it from your formation of troops and your command of the siege."
Without the help of a commander, Aemond leads an army alone to defend the rainforest.
Today's siege was also vigorous.
Even if the casualties will be huge, the city will not be broken sooner or later.
In terms of war alone, this boy is extremely talented, far surpassing Aegon who has neglected his homework.
Aemond was speechless.
Rhaegar gritted his teeth and said, "Earl Sven died in the battle, and your reputation is stinky. The prisoners of the Sven family were killed, and the reputation of the royal family will be implicated."
No matter how powerful a ruler is, the loyalty of his subjects is indispensable.
Eamond deliberately delayed the war and ignored the lives of the prisoners of war, which was a very discreditable move.
Let me ask you, who would be loyal to a tyrant who is narrow-minded and causes death to people and families?
Aemond's selfish desires not only ruined his future reputation in the Stormlands.
Targeted the Targaryen even more.
Hearing this, Aemond's eyes dodge and he is speechless.
Looking at her sister for help, Helena ignored her.
Rhaegar held his face and said coldly: "Aemond, do you know what you are doing?"
Eamond trembled all over and his lips wriggled: "I..."
He knew he was wrong.
But he just couldn't control his desire for revenge.
If a young count dared to disrespect him, he would always hold a grudge in his heart.
Of course, there is also a subtle selfishness.
Rhaenyra and Rhaegar each had their own fiefdoms and enjoyed the support of princes and ministers.
Forget it.
He is not as good as his eldest brother, and he has no experience of resigning as crown prince.
But they were all conceived by the same parents. Why did Aegon have a fiefdom and a castle built by his eldest brother himself.
He dare not think of free city-states like Myr and Lys.
The royal family also did not have suitable land enfeoffment.
After much thought, Aemond set his sights on Stonehelm City.
Dorne is rebelling together, and with the temperament of the eldest brother, Dorne will be defeated sooner or later.
He occupied Stonehelm City and was naturally on the front line of gaining military exploits.
Dorne was pacified, and the port of Stonehelm City was just in line with the Stepstone Islands and the Three Women's Kingdom. It controlled the sea control of Cape Wrath, the lower half of the Narrow Sea, and the disputed areas.
There will be no shortage of seafaring trade in the future.
