Leswell Peake's screams resounded throughout the dragon's lair and echoed back and forth in the cave, forming an echo.
With a wingspan of six to seven meters, Alduin was already a top beast, and the dragon flames he continuously sprayed out were even more frightening, but this did not interrupt the enemy's attack.
On the walls of the dragon's cave that are crooked and supporting each other, nearly a thousand Peck soldiers wearing chain mail, plate armor and other better armor are climbing up. Many of them, after gaining a firm footing, dug out their backs.
He took out his crossbow or life-size curved bow and began to aim at the already huge dragon.
Other enemies brandished weapons and intercepted the Crab Claw Peninsula Ancestor soldiers.
"Which family's soldier is this? How dare you betray the Dragon family?"
Benard Brun held Lannister by the collar like a chicken and climbed up flexibly.
Although the situation was very unfavorable, he believed that as long as the dragon was sent away, the Crab Claw ancestors would have completed the task given to them by the king.
The little devil took a closer look and recognized the orange and three black castle emblems on the enemy, and then reminded Bren:
"This is the Peake family of the Reach. Look, their family's emblem is three castles, symbolizing their past..."
Benard Brun hugged Tyrion with his left hand and waved a half-sword with his right hand. After cutting down an enemy, he saw the coat of arms of the Three Castles on his chest.
"Then they must be a wealthy family among the people in the River Bend, right? Three castles. I never dreamed that the Dragon King would reward me with so many castles."
He whispered to himself.
Although the ancestors of the Crab Claw Peninsula were extremely loyal to the Dragon Family, they still expected something in return.
The reward doesn't need to be much, gold dragons, food and women are all fine. It would be better if there is fertile land and a strong castle.
Tyrion hugged Bennard's neck tightly and said with a trembling tone:
"No, the Peake family has repeatedly supported the Blackfire Rebellion and has been reduced to a Viscount family by the Iron Throne. Most of its territory and castles have also been taken away, leaving only a Star Shuttle City near the Dorne Territory."
After the Dance of the Dragons, the Peake family was once in power. During the war, they joined the Green Party and supported King Aegon II Targaryen. Although the Green Party did not win, after the war, the Star Shuttle at that time
Lord Urwin Peake, Lord of the City, also became a member of King Aegon III's regency.
Later, the courtiers joined forces to drive away the lord of Star Shuttle City, and the Peak family calmed down a bit.
The house became active again in history during the Blackfyre Rebellion. Lord Gormon Peake led an army to join Daemon Blackfyre, and he surrendered to the crown after the Battle of Redgrass Field. At the same time, House Peake lost its territory outside of Starshull City.
Two castles.
During the Second Blackfyre Rebellion, Lord Gormon once again supported the Blackfyre. Lord Bloodraven quickly put down the rebellion and beheaded the earl. At the end of the reign of King Maekar I Targaryen, House Peake rebelled again.
King Maekar, who had no designated heir, was killed during the attack on Star Shuttle City. Hand of the King, Duke Bloodraven, convened a great council to decide on the king's candidate in order to prevent another Dance of Blood Dragons from breaking out.
This was the famous Grand Council of Nobles in history in 233. Aemon Targaryen became a maester of the Night's Watch, and Aegon V, the "king who should not be a king", came to the throne.
This historical knowledge quickly passed through Tyrion's smart mind. He then thought of the rumors of the Golden Company landing in the Stormlands, and suddenly understood why the Peake family took action at this time.
"The Golden Company and Peake will always be supporters of the Blackfire family. It seems that Aegon VI is a descendant of a certain Blackfire."
The little devil came to his own conclusion.
Bennard couldn't tell the difference between Blackfire and Peake, but he knew something was wrong with his side.
In order to ensure that the wedding went without any glitches, the king transferred 2,000 soldiers from the Crab Claw Peninsula ancestors, so Sir Brun only had nearly 800 men under his command.
The enemies who have climbed up have already surpassed our own visually, not to mention those who are still standing guard in the streets outside the dragon's lair.
Although the dragon continued to spit out dragon flames and moved quickly to avoid the arrows fired at it, a large number of enemy soldiers moved towards the area where the dragon was located.
It is definitely not an option to continue like this.
"Kuhei, Huimeba."
Among the soldiers following him, Bennard named two senior Ancestor officers and ordered:
"You two, take people to the Red Fort to report the Peak rebellion. Thousands of soldiers attacked the Dragon's Lair. Leave through that flea house."
It had only been a month since he came to King's Landing, and he only remembered the approximate street names.
Although he was not very familiar with Sir Brun, Tyrion still reminded him:
"Flea Bottom is the only way to get to the Red Keep from here. They must have people guarding it. Why not run from the Silent Sister Street in the southwest to the King's Avenue and then turn to the Red Keep."
The King's Road extends from the Gate of the Gods in the northwest into King's Landing and ends at Balerion Square in front of the Red Keep.
Although there must be a sea of people near the Red Keep now, as long as the news is conveyed to the Tarly soldiers patrolling near Aegon's High Hill, it can be spread to the ears of the king and courtiers layer by layer.
"Great, let's do it like this."
Bennard gave orders swiftly and resolutely, instructing Kuhei and Huimiba to lead people away from the north where there were not many enemies. Then he led his subordinates and rushed towards the enemy.
At the same time, he urged repeatedly, asking Gendry, who was familiar with the dragon, to drive away His Highness Alduin.
Gendry, who was above them, tried to get closer to the dragon Alduin, but the dragon became more playful and kept spraying people with dragon flames with its big mouth open.
Tyrion, who was being held, asked in a low voice: "Sir, can you put me down? I'm small and I'll be safe hiding in a corner somewhere."
Anyway, the dragon's lair was big enough, and he believed that hiding in a corner would prevent the enemy from finding him.
"What are you thinking about? You are a walking fifty thousand golden dragon!"
But Bennard remembered the king's instructions to him and did not dare to let the dwarf leave his sight.
A few minutes later, the main forces of the two waves of soldiers met near Alduin's habitat. On the ruins hundreds of meters away, the two sides began to fight.
The advantage of Peck soldiers is that they patrol well, are familiar with their equipment and comrades, and can cooperate in combat.
The ancestor soldiers of the Crab Claw Peninsula were slightly better in terms of morale. Although many of them hated each other, when fighting for the Dragon Family, they were able to temporarily put aside their hatred and join hands to defend against the enemy.
The demon dragon Alduin nimbly disappeared behind a broken wall somewhere, then unexpectedly flew up from behind, spitting viciously.
There were more than 1,800 soldiers on both sides, plus a dragon. The battle was still spectacular and fierce. Due to the abnormality of the battlefield, it was not feasible to fight in formation, so the soldiers began to fight against each other.
The sounds of swords and axes clashing, the screams of people burned by dragon flames, and the groans of injured soldiers increased rapidly.
…
Red Fort, gardens.
Dozens of long tables are placed in the open space, and the tables are piled with fruits, barbecues, and expensive pastries. Of course, wine bottles are a must. Since the Redwyne family is loyal to the Iron Throne, the Qing Pavilion wine is sufficient.
More than 300 invited nobles participated in the wedding banquet. Most of them sat at the table according to the arrangements of the Red Castle. Some nobles with higher status walked back and forth between the banquets and talked loudly and irrelevant gossip.
Queen Sansa, who was wearing a red and blue robe, was surrounded by a group of river nobles, and some of the women were chatting eagerly with the queen.
"Although Ser Brynden did not send anyone to attend this wedding, we believe that the Tully family can see the situation clearly."
A middle-aged woman from the Vance family said.
Queen Sansa has the blood of House Tully, Lord of the Riverlands, and her brother Robb has accepted the allegiance of most of the Houselords of the Riverlands, so this group of people naturally recognized her as their patron.
Queen Stark herself also wore red and blue clothes at the suggestion of her maid.
Her current maids are all commoners of Harrenhal and Harren Town, and are naturally close to the river people. Therefore, it is recommended that the queen wear the typical colors of the Tully family.
After her husband planned to marry another wife, Sansa also felt the crisis, so she began to get close to powerful nobles.
Originally, the North was her biggest supporter, but the Yankees were still fighting among themselves and had no time to support the lord's daughter at the king's wedding, so Sansa set her sights on the river.
Coincidentally, because her husband was born here, the combined power of the Hejian courtiers and the Longdang family was only slightly weaker than the supporters of the Rose family.
"I hope my uncle won't do anything stupid!" She had already heard that her uncle, Lyndon Tully, was preparing to launch the army of Riverrun to recapture Raventree for the Blackwood family.
The castle is currently owned by Roseau of House Frey.
Sansa is also a little conflicted between her natal family on one side and her husband's powerful vassal on the other.
At this moment, Willis Manderly, who was late, finally squeezed into the small circle.
"Slow down, you're so fat!" A knight of Vance complained when he saw Manderly squeezing his wife.
Willis smiled awkwardly, and then opened the section with the topic of the North.
"Winterfell is about to be recovered. Should we find a way to save the castle so that it won't be burned to rubble by soldiers who abandoned the city and fled like last time?"
He suggested to many Hejian family governors.
Earl William Mouton, who had arrived at King's Landing temporarily, was standing in the crowd. He cleared his throat and said, "I heard that a Lord Umber has taken refuge in Old Flay. I believe that after the people of the Valley and the Reach sent troops, this Amber
Warrior Kashiwa will switch to us."
The higher-ranking governors of the Hejian family gathered around the king, so Earl William Mouton here became the leader.
Willis thought for a while and agreed: "The Earl is talking about the 'Whore Nightmare' Hose Umber! He is indeed Stark's loyal minister."
"Why is it called Ji Night?" a noble lady asked.
Just as northerners don't care much about southern affairs, river people are not familiar with Yankee stories.
Mandalay had no choice but to tell the story of Amber to the southerners.
Horser Umber was the youngest son of Frost Umber, the former lord of the Last Hearth. His father believed that he had the potential to become a maester, so he sent him to study in the academy in Old Town around 250 AD.
While in Oldtown, a prostitute tried to steal from him. As a result, Hose removed the man's entrails, earning him the nickname "The Whore's Nightmare."
People never discussed this scary story out loud because the prostitute was a man.
The noble lady who asked the question blushed with embarrassment, but Sansa remembered something else.
"Lord Mouton is right. I remember my father once mentioned that the Amber family is indeed one of Stark's most loyal vassal families. We should and must contact Lord Hose Amber."
If nothing unexpected happens, Winterfell will become her private property independent of the royal family, so Queen Sansa is very concerned about this matter.
"Hother Amber's brother Lord Crowfood is in our White Harbor. I will ask him to send people to contact the prostitutes. In addition, there are quite a few civilians in Winterfell who are loyal to the Stark family. Please ask Miss Sansa for help.
Leave some token so that those servants can work for us?"
Although his force was not good, Willis's mind was still smart enough, and he came up with a small detail.
And this detail is one of the sources of the Burton School.
On the main seat far away from the people of Hejian, the king who was sitting upright was accepting gifts from his vassals in turn.
Of course, the people of the Riverbend were the first to give gifts.
Since he paid most of the wedding expenses, the Duke of Metz only gave him a golden wine glass.
Arthur remembered that at the Purple Wedding, Mace gave Joffrey a seven-sided gold cup, and the pure gold wine cup in front of him was made into three sides, which was a triangular cup.
"Thank you. It looks very beautiful. I will definitely not use it to drink wine. Pod, remember to remind me to build a closet in the king's bedroom. I will keep this golden cup in it."
Arthur's expression was exaggerated, as if Mace had given him some unique gift.
In fact, the little rose that loves to spray water is indeed a rare gift in the world.
Mr. Inflatable Fish shrugged, he couldn't care less about what his son-in-law did in his room.
Next came Lord Paxter Redwyne, who gave the king a model of a longship.
"Your Majesty, construction of a large ship a thousand times larger is being stepped up on Qingting Island. Perhaps in a few months, you will be able to see it in Blackwater Bay."
Arthur picked up the long ship model and looked at it for a moment, "This looks like it is a foot long. If it is a thousand times longer, the ship you gave to the royal family would have to be a thousand feet long, which is more than three hundred meters. The wooden ship cannot reach it.
This is the length!”
He remembered that the 10,000-ton ship in his previous life was only a few hundred meters long. The longships that traveled around the world should not be that long.
It's only a few dozen meters at most.
Earl Paxter said in a smooth tone: "Your Majesty, the value of a longship ranges from a thousand gold dragons to tens of thousands of gold dragons. A considerable part of the millions spent by Robert was spent on rebuilding the royal fleet.
.Judging from the length alone, my ship may be one of the longest warships in the entire world, and it can be sold for a good price of 20,000 to 30,000 gold dragons in any Free Trade City."
He did not mention the length, but emphasized the value again.
Arthur nodded, did not embarrass Mace's cousin and brother-in-law anymore, and waved him away.
The gifts from the next few families were very ordinary, but the Mariweis family in the Long Table Hall gave interesting gifts.
The family's emblem is a golden horn of plenty on a white background filled with apples, carrots, plums, onions, leeks, turnips and fruits of various colors. The family motto is "Look at my gifts."
In conjunction with this, Orton Mareweiss sent a hundred carts of fruits and vegetables to the royal family.
"Your Majesty, these things are being collected in my territory and will be delivered to King's Landing soon."
Arthur smiled and thanked him: "This is indeed the simplest but most practical gift. I accepted it."
Some of the Riverbend house governors were still imprisoned by the people of the West, so some families did not send gifts. As an apology, Margaery sent a large gift to her husband in the name of these families.
This is also the gift that attracts the most attention from both host and guest at the beginning of the entire wedding banquet.
A set of golden plate armor made with dyed steel.
