Chapter 611 Stone Helm City Rebellion
thump—
thump—
thump—
On time and on time, the bell of King's Landing rang, and the melodious horn sounded.
The endless army of night watchmen began to set off for their hometown under the attention of all the people. They were seen off by countless people, most of whom were exiled northerners in King's Landing, with tears in their eyes. Hope they can recover their homes from the dead as soon as possible.
The local people in King's Landing are not interested. They have no interest in knowing what is going on in the far north. For most people, they may never leave the land under their feet in this lifetime, let alone care about activities. The dead at the end of the world.
When the Legion of the Dead invaded massively, they might have been in a state of panic, feeling that the end of the world was imminent, but the Legion of the Dead was finally blocked in the Twin Rivers City.
The Night's Watch marched straight north along the King's Road, and Eddard broke away as they passed the hill outside the city where Robert Baratheon was buried.
"Robert."
He rode the warhorse to the hillside, paid tribute to his friend, talked to Robert for a while, poured a pot of good wine, and then caught up with the team against the sunset.
The Night's Watch Legion's expedition to the north is a major event in the new dynasty. Now the kingdom is stable but it has not completely come out of the haze. There are still many things going up and down.
Viserys is not too worried about the expedition of the Night's Watch. The power of the old gods is mainly to travel through the past, but occasionally he can glimpse a little bit of the future, but unfortunately he can't see it completely, just some clues.
Because of this, Viserys could not be familiar with the past, present and future, and became a complete prophet. He could only look at the surface and speculate on the direction and development of future things through the only details.
From the current point of view, the Night's Watch Legion's expedition to the North has not been hindered much.
There are only some scattered ghouls left on the land of the north. Without the command of the White Walkers, they can deal with scattered mercenaries only with savagery and ferocity, but they cannot fight against the established army, the fifth legion of the kingdom in name. But in fact, the more independent Night's Watch only needs to spread out and push past enough to reclaim their homeland.
The night outside the window was fading.
The Red Fort stands on Aegon's High Hill and is the commanding height of the entire King's Landing. Among the Red Fort, the Maegor Tower, which is the king's bedroom, is the tallest. The king's bedroom is extremely spacious, with elegant and delicate furniture, and a huge soft feather bed. , The precious porcelain vases placed on the table, the gorgeous curtains and window screens hang down, fluttering slightly in the wind.
Viserys was sitting at the desk at the moment, facing the sea breeze blowing from the extended balcony, stretched out a finger and was silently in a daze.
"What are you thinking?"
"my sweetheart."
And his wife, the beautiful Queen Dorne, was lying on their big soft bed, naked with only a thin layer of transparent gauze covering her body, with her legs crossed and her feet intertwined, turning her head to look holding her husband, and then asked.
She had been looking at Viserys for a long time, and he had been in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Are you thinking about Stonehelm?"
Not long ago, there was a turmoil in Stonehelm, Earl of Stonehelm, Gulian Swan, was dissatisfied with his last heir, Balon Swan, who was killed by Robert in a trial by combat. He believed that the Iron Throne should give his son a high hand. , and thus launched a rebellion.
Gullian Shiwen first convened a grand banquet to invite many nobles of Stormland to participate, but unfortunately few people came, only a few families not far from Stonehelm City, the profits of Crow's Nest Castle. Earl of Sturt Morrigan, Lady Marie Metelling of Mistwood City, Earl Alexander Stemon of Longarch and some nobles of Stormlands.
At the banquet, Gulian Swen suddenly cursed Viserys loudly, believing that he was a tyrant who violated the sacred power of the nobles, and called on the nobles of the storm land at the banquet to join the ranks of resisting Viserys.
However, the rest of the nobles of the storm land were taken aback when they saw that Gulian Swen suddenly went crazy. Now the secret agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are everywhere. They have already experienced it when they were in King's Landing, and even what color underwear they are wearing. All spies can know.
They were afraid of being implicated by Gulian Swen, so they got up in a hurry and wanted to leave the banquet, but were directly detained by the mad Earl Swen.
Then Gurion Swan issued an ultimatum to the nobles who had been detained by him, asking all the nobles of the Stormlands to join his rebel army and fight against the rule of Viserys.
He even madly declared that the rainforest had become independent. If that kid Viserys wanted to take his head, he would personally ride a giant dragon and burn up this vast forest.
Unless all the trees are burned, any soldiers who break in will be killed by the soldiers of Stonehelm.
However, the turmoil in Stone Helmed City actually happened three months ago, but the news was just introduced to King's Landing two months ago. The reason is naturally that the news of the rainforest is too blocked, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is currently only limited. In the range of the king's collar, it is not stretched too long.
What was embarrassing then was that this farce stopped before the Iron Throne personally sent troops to suppress the rebellion.
It turned out that the onion knight Davos Seaworth, who was in charge of investigating the customs of the kingdom, happened to be leading dozens of border soldiers by boat to Stone Helm City not long ago.
They found that there was turmoil in Stone Helm City, and the Shiwen family began to gather soldiers, with soldiers exceeding his private army limit, sweeping around in the rainforest.
The Onion Knight was trapped in the rainforest and could not walk, so he was forced to hide in XZ. However, he eventually led dozens of his subordinates to ambush in the rainforest, and seized an opportunity to break into Stone Helm City and kill him. The rebellion was quelled by Earl Gurion Swan.
Because of the New Deal, the nobles' army was cut down and incorporated, so the soldiers hurriedly recruited in the turmoil in Stone Helm City were also farmers nearby, and they had no fighting power. Only then was the Onion Knight seized the opportunity to quell the rebellion.
However, it is worth mentioning that the Onion Knight also killed several prisoners detained by Gulian Swan after rushing into Stone Helm City, the Earl of Crow's Nest Castle, the Countess of Mistwood City and others.
Davos claimed that they had surrendered to the Swan family, thus killing them.
And these people happened to be the three nobles who occupied Storm's End when Stannis was assassinated a year ago, and Davos also took revenge for his former monarch.
