Chapter 318 Blood of the King

"Your Majesty, be careful!" The moment Renly's knight raised his hand, Ser Barristan had actually seen his movements, but Stannis and Renly threw away their respective men when they were talking alone. Dozens of steps, at this distance, no matter what Barristan wanted to do, he was powerless.

Barristan immediately rode towards the place where Stannis fell, followed closely by two Kingsguards, Lord Allister Florent, Stannis's Hand of the King, and Davos.

Seeing the menacing force of their arrival, Renly jumped on his horse and ran away. Loras, the Knight of Flowers, also led several knights to meet Renly. Fortunately, Barristan and the others did not come for Renly, allowing Renly to return safely to his supporters.

"How is the king? Ser." Davos dismounted and asked Ser Barristan, who was examining Stannis's body.

"No," he only saw the other party shaking his head, "The king is dead." The captain of the Kingsguard announced the result.

In an instant, the entire hill fell into deathly silence, and both Renly's camp and Stannis' camp became silent.

"Murder! Renly and the others are treacherous!" The first person to react and shout was Lord Janos Bracken of Stonehedge City. He immediately drew his sword and pointed it at the knight with the fleur-de-lis next to Renly. .

Shortly after Robert announced Tywin's treason, the army of the West attacked the Riverlands. Lord Janos's home castle, Stonehedge, was quickly captured by Gregor Clegane, the Mountain. Although Janos and his son led a few knights to successfully escape, his wife and daughter who were left behind in the castle were both raped and killed by the Mountain, and he also forged a bloody feud with the Lannister family.

In Stannis's camp, Lord Janos is one of the few non-back-partisans who firmly supports Stannis. He would side with anyone to fight the Lannisters.

"Are you blind? Didn't you see that Lord Stannis drew his sword first and planned to assassinate King Renly?" Ser Arthur (a player from the River Bend) who had just shot Stannis put down his hand. Crossbow asked loudly.

This question has stunned everyone.

The special effects produced at the moment when the Lightbringer was unsheathed in Stannis's hand were so dazzling that no one present dared to say that they had just seen clearly whether Stannis was intending to strike at Renly when he drew the sword. .

If so, then the Oathbreaker who attempted to assassinate the other side during the peace talks became Stannis himself, and Renly's bodyguards would not be dishonored by their preemptive attack on Stannis in order to protect Renly.

But if not, then who can explain why Stannis drew his sword?

The nobles in Stannis' camp were immediately embarrassed.

"Surrender, my lords." Renly didn't give them much time to think. He spoke quickly, "Stannis broke his sacred oath and planned to assassinate me during the peace talks. Now he has paid for his actions. The price is that the ownership of the iron chair is no longer in dispute, and as the sole heir of House Baratheon, I am your undisputed king."

"I promise you that as long as you surrender immediately and kneel and swear allegiance to me, I will pardon your crimes and retain your titles, fiefs and property. Of course, for some of you, you will also have to give up Your funny god of fire, return to the embrace of the Seven Gods." Anyone with a discerning eye could hear that his last words were directed at the back party.

"According to the law, Princess Shireen should become our new queen." 'Fearless' Ser Barristan stood up from Stannis's body and shook his head, "Even if Stannis is dead, it will not be his turn. You come to inherit the throne."

"There has never been a queen in Westeros," a knight next to Renly mocked. "Rhaenayla Targaryen failed to become a qualified queen. She at least had a dragon. What does your Princess Shireen have?" Half a face?”

Princess Shireen suffered from greyscale as a child. Although she was later cured, the left side of her face was completely covered with black dead skin. This is no secret.

The nobles whispered that if they were asked to choose a king between Stannis and Renly, they would hesitate because everyone liked Renly and feared Stannis. But if they were asked to choose a king between Renly and the 9-year-old Princess Shireen. Such a choice should not exist at all.

"Stannis has betrayed his oath and betrayed the Seven Gods. He is not worthy of being king." Lord Elton Ysmond, who was forced to swear allegiance to Stannis by the general trend, was the first to express his position. The lord of Greenstone Castle He is almost 70 years old this year. He has experienced the period when the Mad King liked to burn people to death at every turn, so he already deeply hates Stannis.

If Stannis were still alive, he would never dare to say these words, but Stannis is dead, isn't he?

"Long live King Renly!" The old earl drew his sword and raised it high.

"I will never let a little girl become my king," Matus Rowan, another great nobleman who was also forced to swear an oath to Stannis, immediately agreed. His fiefdom is in the Riverlands and is completely controlled by blue. Surrounded by Renly's supporters, he feared from the beginning that civil war would threaten the safety of his family. "Long live King Renly!" he shouted, raising his sword.

For a moment, a large number of noble knights who were not queens drew their swords, but before they shouted the slogan symbolizing defection in unison, they first heard the cry of King Renly's new favorite Ser Arthur: "Don't let that witch Encountered Stannis' body!"

"Kill Renly, the false king! Kill the regicide! Revenge for your king! The night is long and dangerous everywhere. Lord of Light, protect us!" Roland, the newly appointed Earl of Harrenhal, spoke out almost at the same time.

What responded to them was a brilliant fire.

The moment Melisandre touched Stannis's blood, a bright arc of fire was drawn on the hill.

The flames first popped out of the eyes of Arthur, a player from the River Bend, and then exploded his entire head and ignited his entire body together with the white horse under his crotch. Then came Garlan Tyrell and Lord Randyll beside him, followed closely by King Renly himself. The flames swept through the knights, then passed between the two armies, and ignited the eagle who had just shouted long live King Renly. Lord Don Ismond, Lord Matus Rowan, and several traitors.

In just the blink of an eye, more than twenty nobles, knights and attendants turned into flying smoke amidst the wails.

Is that the power of the King's Blood in Melisandre's hands? Even Luo Lan, who had been mentally prepared for this, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

At the same time, down below on the hill, there was the sound of hoofbeats and roaring.

"Rearguard cavalry!" Lord Cavron, who had fallen to Renly just now, but escaped because he stood far enough away from the main traitors, immediately warned. He recognized the sudden appearance at a glance. The nearby cavalryman held a flag with a flaming red heart.

It was an elite force of 300 men formed by Count Lorraine under the orders of Stannis, who selected forwards from all the cavalry who had converted to the Red God.

"Take back the king's body and annihilate the rebels!" Roland ordered the knights of the rear party who had regained their confidence. The tone of his words seemed to be superior to the leader of the rear party, Count Alister Florent. .

Lorraine had been waiting for this moment for a long time. The reason why he remained silent after Stannis was attacked was not to wait for Renly to complete the surrender of Stannis's men. First, he was waiting for Melisandre's fire magic to complete the extremely long reading, and second, he was waiting for the arrival of an elite cavalry that he had hidden near the peace negotiation location in advance.

This cavalry was commanded by his ally Odis, a skinchanger who immediately ran to Harrenhal to join him after being wanted by Tywin.

Loland had a major plan for today's peace talks. From the beginning, he had the idea of ​​killing the player who had repeatedly ruined his good fortune in the Reach. At the same time, he also knew that if the other party did not use all his strength to prevent Renli from coming, If you participate in this peace talk, then the other party must have the same purpose as yourself.

So Roland asked Odis to send falcons to closely monitor the area, trying to find the troops deployed in advance, but he failed to find them, which puzzled him for a while.

But soon Lorraine thought of the answer. If the other party did not plan to use troops at the peace negotiation location, then the best way the other party could choose was to directly assassinate Stannis. As soon as Stannis dies, most of his nobles will fall directly to Renly. As long as they make good use of these people, players in Renly's camp can easily annihilate the rear party and Lorraine himself.

So Lorraine chose to use the trick and let the other party attack Stannis first and let them anger Melisandre.

He didn't care about Stannis' life or death. If the red-robed woman could successfully resurrect Stannis afterwards, it would mean that Stannis was really the fighter chosen by the Lord of Light, and it would not be a loss to hold his thigh tightly. And after completely eliminating the forces of the false king Renly, he will definitely be able to get Casterly Rock City or Highgarden.

If the red-robed woman cannot resurrect Stannis, that would be even better. She has now gained great authority in the rear party. As long as she takes Princess Shireen, she can become the new king of the Seven Kings. And maybe Melisandre will be regarded as the new champion of the Lord of Light, gaining a great mage with various uses.

After receiving Lorraine's order, the knights of the rear party immediately took action, cooperating with the newly arrived reinforcements to kill Renly's troops, who were in chaos because of the loss of the king. Those who had just hesitated a little more and were not in a hurry The noble knights who surrendered to Renly also transformed at this moment and became Stannis's most loyal supporters. They drew their swords one by one and joined the battle.
