Chapter 399 Conquering Tide Head Island
The mother and daughter Celis Florent were still staying in the dining room of the castle, but the Baratheon family soldiers beside them had been escorted out and replaced with soldiers of the Unsullied.
Afterwards, I saw Renice pushing the door and walking in. The mother and daughter were shivering a little. The little girl Shireen was so frightened that she cried, and her mother, Celis Floren, was a bit of a dragon stone. The temperament of the Duchess of the Island.
She saw Renis walk in and suppressed the fear in her heart, then put her daughter in her arms aside, stood up from the chair and bowed slightly.
"your Highness."
Through the unsullied soldiers just now, she also learned that the niece of the 'false king' Viserys, the eldest princess Renes Targaryen, and another member of the Targaryen family, who led the army to attack Dragonstone Island. A dragon knight.
And Renice looked at the crying little girl in front of her, and the woman who pretended to be calm but her body was trembling under her clothes, and sighed slightly.
She did not embarrass the poor mother and daughter, and then briefly said a few words. Instead of throwing the mother and daughter of Celis into prison, she allowed them to continue to live in the castle until they were caught. Stannis or the end of the war.
It is an unspoken rule among the nobles to be guilty of less sin than one's family members. Everything will leave a way back. Otherwise, there will not be so many ancient families that have inherited hundreds of years and thousands of years.
However, the mother and daughter of Celis were not allowed to leave the castle and were restricted to the range of soldiers under surveillance.
And Renis then sat on the throne of Dragonstone Island, and passed down the orders skillfully.
Because Viserys often leaves his post without permission, Renice has experience in guarding the country for him, plus she also has a good teacher, her uncle Oberon is very knowledgeable, and the girl is young. Has been able to handle government and military affairs proficiently.
That's why Viserys would be reassured and bold enough to let Rhaenys lead an army into Dragonstone herself.
However, Dragonstone is not the end of this army, and Rhaenys is ready to go a step further.
Sitting on the stone throne in the Great Hall of Dragonstone, she consulted three commanders, Meath Toyn, commander of the Golden Company, Lord Geoffrey Bracken, commander of the Dragonstone Fleet, and none The Scrubber Commander Black Bug.
And then got a unanimous affirmative opinion.
Immediately, the next day.
The Targaryen army blitzed Dragonstone, and the defenders of Dragonstone fell without a fight. However, the Targaryen army only took a day's rest before pulling anchor and sailing again, and marched to another island not far from Dragonstone. .
Tide Island of House Valerian.
The Dragonstone fleet, led by Lord Seamaster Geoffrey Bracken, and some soldiers of the Golden Corps set out for Tidehead.
The Valerian family was originally a distant relative of the Targaryen family. They were both families that used to be the fortress of freedom, but the Valerian family was not one of the ancient forty families, but an emerging family that rose after the empire.
House Valerian had settled on Tidehead long before Inar Targaryen led his family to Dragonstone.
In the early days of the Targaryen Dynasty, the Valerian family had a pivotal power within the dynasty. The first captain of the Kingsguard in history and the sea minister were from the Valerian family. There was even a period of time when the position of the sea minister was only Wa People of the Valerian family will take the position, and people say that the position has become hereditary by the Valerian family.
However, no matter how close the family is, the years and interests cannot be resisted in the end.
House Targaryens fell in the Usurper's war, and the Valerians began to declare their neutrality, only to secretly embrace the Usurper, backstabbing his distant relatives.
In the end, the Royal Fleet of Stannis and Stannis raided Dragonstone Island, causing the Dragonstone Island fleet to be almost wiped out. The commander-in-chief of the fleet, Earl Geoffrey Bracken, was almost killed by an arrow in the chest, and the Targaryens also lost their lives in Victoria. Stroh's last territory.
Now, however, the Targaryens are making a comeback, and it is time to take revenge on the betrayers one by one.
The mighty Dragonstone Fleet carried the soldiers of the Golden Corps to Chaotou Island, and the Valerian family of Chaotou Island, who called themselves "loyal, brave and sincere", had already turned into a mess.
Because of their close proximity, they realized this morning that Dragonstone had been captured by the Targaryen army.
Monford Valerian, Earl of Tidehead Island hurriedly asked King's Landing for help, hoping to get the support of the Royal Fleet docked in King's Landing. He also knew that he had betrayed House Targaryen on the battlefield, and it was almost impossible to get forgiveness.
Therefore, he also arranged for his wife and newly born child Monterey and other family members to escape.
"Come on!"
"Take our children and escape to King's Landing!"
The handsome count Mumford Valerian stood in armor and kissed his wife, his long golden hair fluttering in the wind.
Then the warship set sail and headed for King's Landing.
Earl Mumford stood on the observation deck and watched the warship carrying his family leave, and finally showed a relaxed smile on his face.
However.
The Earl of Mumford rejoiced too soon, and his plans too late.
The Targaryen army came to attack Tidehead Island faster than Monford imagined. The Dragonstone fleet came overwhelmingly with vengeance and anger, vowing to avenge the backstab of the year, and easily surrounded Tidehead. island.
boom boom-
The boulders flew into the sky one by one, and then fell.
The ship carrying the family of Monford Valerian, Earl of Tidehead Island, had just left the port and had not traveled too far when it encountered heavy shelling from the catapult on the Black Death.
In an instant, the warship of the Valerian family was torn apart and sank into the sea, and Count Monford Valerian, who was standing on the port, witnessed this scene, and his eyes were suddenly split.
However, Chaotou Island was attacked by the Targaryen army. Countless Golden Corps soldiers landed on Chaotou Island. The soldiers of the Valerian family fought desperately to resist, but the difference in strength was too great. They were killed and corpses were scattered everywhere. .
"kill!"
The huge boulders burning with kerosene blasted open the gate of the castle like cannonballs. Earl Monford Valerian was captured in the castle's internal battle, and then escorted to Dragonstone Island in embarrassment.
Blackwater Bay was smashed by the Targaryen army in a short time, and the army was aggressively approaching King's Landing.
And in faraway Pentos.
A good news came suddenly.
It even alerted Oberyn, who was training the army day and night, preparing to land in Westeros.
He rode a fast horse and arrived at Pantos overnight, escorted by his own soldiers.
It turned out that Princess Arianne Martell was pregnant.
After the inference of the local doctor in Pantos, Arianne should have been pregnant for two months.
It was not long after Viserys returned from the ruins of Valyria, when he was newly married, he did not expect to be shot at that time.
