Chapter 439
However, at this moment, the Kingsguard Ser Marin Tran, who was standing behind the old knight, drew a dagger from his waist and stabbed it directly into the back of Barristan Selmy's neck from behind.
The tip of the dagger pierced through his throat, then pulled it out again.
puff--
Blood spurted out instantly and splashed onto the face of the rebel soldier in front of him.
The white knight's armor was stained with blood, and the long sword in Barristan Selmy's hand also fell to the ground with a clatter. One hand covered his throat and his face was full of disbelief. He seemed to want to say something but didn't say anything. come out.
"Ho ho ho"
Blood poured into his windpipe, blocking his voice.
The captain of the Royal Guards did not think that the oath brother, whom he could trust with confidence, betrayed himself under such circumstances.
It turned out that Marin Tran had already had a different heart, and he had already moved his mind to run from the moment he saw the unstoppable White Walkers.
However, there was no action between the hesitations, until Viserys came with his dragon, the humans defeated the White Walkers and saved the whole world, but then the contradiction between Viserys and the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms returned is irreconcilable.
Marin Tran thought that Viserys wanted to kill, and he wanted to eradicate more nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, otherwise he would not have come with a group of barbarians who were prepared to kill and set fire.
And as Robert's Kingsguard, Marin Tran considered himself one of Viserys' most wanted people to kill.
But Ser Malin Tran didn't want to die, he didn't live enough, so he had to do something to survive, and the greatest credit was to betray the old king and sacrifice it to the new king , or kill him.
Since the king fell into a coma with an arrow, Marin Tran had made up his mind a long time ago, but the old man, Barristan Selmi, was always by the king's side so that Marin Tran did not start. Opportunity.
But now is the best chance
Malin Tran suddenly turned against the water and killed Barristan Selmy, who was like a god of war just now, from behind. The rebels outside the door were still a little surprised and stunned for a moment.
There was a civil strife in Riverrun, and the number of the rebels was limited, and the soldiers of the Tully family gathered more and more, so they quickly went up the stairs and killed them. Before the rebels caught King Robert, they swarmed up, and the two sides were in Fighting began in the upper floors of the castle.
The Kingsguard, Marin Tran, who had broken his oath, was also a little anxious when he saw this situation. He thought the ending was almost certain, so he suddenly shot and killed Barristan Selmy, but he didn't expect it to appear at this time. A change.
He rushed over to take King Robert as a hostage, but was surrounded by a swarm of Tully soldiers.
clang clang
As a member of the Kingsguard, Malin Tran was naturally not a good person. He roared and wielded his long sword and killed two Tully family soldiers one after another.
But the outnumbered was stabbed in the knee with a sword from behind, and immediately fell to the ground with a scream, and then was captured alive and tied up.
"kill!"
The civil strife in Riverrun was fierce. The white knives went in and the red knives went out, and both of them were red-eyed. It lasted for a total of midnight, but in the end, the Tully family won the victory.
Rivers of blood flowed into the river and corpses spread all over the city. All the rebels were killed and wounded, and some were even forced to jump into the river. In the end, it was unknown whether they swam out of the water gate or died under the arrows of the defenders.
Several corpses of the rebels were floating on the river. The Tully family soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, and finally found the head of Duke Tully who was cut off, but it was difficult to identify at this moment. The head of the old duke was taken by the rebels. The ball was kicked around and finally found under the bed.
Edmure became furious when he saw his father's head and the headless corpse covered in footprints and filth. With red eyes, he ordered all the captured rebel nobles to be sent to the gallows to be hanged. .
The rebellion in Riverrun was crushed, and the bodies of countless rebellious nobles were dragged from the gallows and thrown into the kennel to feed the dogs.
The sworn Kingsguard, Marin Tran, who did not belong to the rebel nobles, narrowly escaped his life. He was temporarily held in the water prison in Riverrun, enduring the pain of having his knees pierced, like digging a stock to cut flesh. .
The body of Sir Barristan Selmy, the legendary knight of the Seven Kingdoms and the captain of the Kingsguard who loyally protected the king until the last moment, has also been properly restrained.
However, the strange thing is that King Robert Baratheon was temporarily placed under house arrest by the soldiers of the Tully family after the war, and he was not even allowed to mourn the body of Barristan Selmy. Although the rebellion was suppressed, everyone The panicked expression on his face could not be concealed.
Now that the time has passed the time of the bat, but the night is still strong. After the turmoil in Riverrun City for half a night, the atmosphere has fallen into a kind of strangeness.
The old duke died and his heir, Edmure Tully, became a new generation of the guardian of the river and the duke of Riverrun. All the vassals of the river who survived took a collective oath in the hall of Riverrun, to Ai Derm Tully showed loyalty.
Afterwards, the main hall door of River River City was closed, and the new Hejian Land Guardian and all the Hejian Land vassals closed their doors, not knowing what to discuss, and discussed the time for half a night in one breath.
And the sky is gradually showing fish belly white, the dawn of a new day is coming.
The gate of Riverrun suddenly opened, and the towering drawbridge was lowered. Edmure Tully, the self-proclaimed guardian of the Riverlands and Duke of Riverrun, led all the Riverlands vassals to the front of Viserys' warhorse, and then kneel in surrender.
He took the initiative to hand over the false king Robert Baratheon, who was recovering in the city, and asked Viserys to forgive his father Horst and the Tullys for their guilt, and to allow him to bury his father.
The turmoil in Riverrun City last night also alarmed Viserys outside the city, but he didn't know what happened in the city, but he didn't expect so many things to happen in the past night of turmoil.
Viserys looked at Edmure Tully kneeling in front of his warhorse, and behind him were Riverland vassals and Tully soldiers who had survived the turmoil.
In the end, he nodded slightly and told Edmure that he could still leave Riverrun with the Tully family, but the title of Guardian of the Riverlands must be taken away from his head.
Edmure's face was a little pale, but he still had no objection. He had long thought of this possibility, but it was difficult to accept it for a while.
The Dothraki then drove their horses into Riverrun and took full control of the castle.
