Chapter 639: Border Emergency

The border of the Dorne frontier was in an emergency, and the news broke into the city of King's Landing on a fast horse.

Step on.

A river knight in armor, with mottled blood on his body, quickly climbed the steps with the hilt of his sword in his hand, and then walked into the throne room.

At this moment, the throne room was already full of people, crowded with the nobles of King's Landing, and Viserys sat on the iron throne in the middle with the ruby-encrusted Valyrian steel crown on his head, and his face was calm.

A chair was temporarily added to the side seat not far away, which belonged to Queen Arianne. She was holding her daughter Diana Targaryen in her arms, and her face was slightly unsightly.

The important ministers of the Royal Council are divided into left and right, standing first is the former Prime Minister Jon Clinton, followed by the two princesses, Princess Renes, Duchess of Summerhall, and Daenerys Tanger, Duchess of Dragonstone Lean.

Further down are the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Intelligence, the King's Adviser, the Minister of Agriculture, the Minister of Craftsmen, the Great Scholar and others.

The important ministers of the Imperial Council have different expressions, some with sullen faces, some gloating, and some people are silent and can't see their expressions.

The young female dragon knight with long brown hair lowered her head and held the hilt of the Dark Sister at her waist, then exhaled and raised her head again.

In fact, long before the official request for help, Raven had already brought news to King's Landing, and everyone present had more or less heard the news of a rebellion breaking out in the frontier.

"Dorne barbarians never die, they have repeatedly violated my borders!"

"They burned almost everything, our farmland, our grain, our homes."

The one who came for help was the knight of the Mariwes family in the long table hall. He immediately knelt down on one knee before the Iron Throne, and then complained loudly, ignoring the ugly faces of the queen and the Minister of Justice.

"Your Majesty, please send troops to quell the rebellion!"

A month ago, the conflict between the two nobles broke out in the Dorne frontier. Although it was not a large-scale war, it resulted in the death of a knight from the King of the Reach, but it was still within a controllable range. Inside.

However, not long ago, something happened that led to a sudden intensification of the contradiction between the two sides.

One of the most powerful lords of Dorne, Owen Fo, the nephew of Franklin Folle, the only male of the Fowler family in Tianhe City, who was once called the king by his ancestors Le, he was shot and killed by a knight of the Zenford family on the way to the Reach to hunt down the defectors, and was buried in the Reach.

The old falcon eagle was furious when he heard the news, so he gathered 2,000 Dornish soldiers from his family and rushed into the Reach to burn, kill and loot, and broke the Ash Beach Fort. Except for Lord Cenford, the rest of the Cenford family members The female family members, they were all beheaded and killed by the Dornishmen before they could escape.

This move by the Fowler family angered the nobles of the Reach, and then they each assembled their soldiers to fight back.

At this moment, Franklin Fowler, who is the 'guard of the pass', also vented his anger, but the old falcon eagle felt that something was wrong after calming down, and then retreated to the prince's pass, and stayed in this pass and did not go out. .

But the Fowler family retreated, but the Riverland Noble Alliance did not retreat.

Instead, they relied on their own private soldiers, a total of several thousand people, to gather troops in front of the Prince's Pass, and set up a stance not to attack the city but not to retreat, to seek justice for the Cenford family.

At the same time, on the other side, they dispatched knights of the Mariwess to King's Landing to seek help from His Majesty the King, claiming that a rebellion had occurred in Dorne and asking His Majesty to uphold justice.

The voice of Sir Rickon Merriweis fell, and the nobles of King's Landing in the Throne Hall couldn't help chatting one after another. They were discussing the audacity of being the 'King of the Sky', and at the same time, they secretly cast their eyes on Dorne, who was sitting on the side of the Throne Hall. The Queen also has the Chancellor of Justice standing in Chief.

The Dornish man Conglong Gong was the earliest companion of the Targaryen family, and there was a queen who bore a daughter to the king.

As a powerful relative, Dorne has naturally become the target of public criticism. Most of the nobles present are gloating, wanting to see how the 'indomitable' Martell family should deal with this matter.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to personally lead the army to Dorne to suppress the rebellion."

At this moment, after listening to Ser Rickon Merriweis's accusation, the Dornisher who was standing by the side with an ugly face finally couldn't help but stand up.

But he didn't explain anything for his compatriots. He knew that Dorn's reputation in the court was not very good at this moment, because his power had become a target of public criticism.

Therefore, Oberyn stood up and volunteered to fight, and wanted to personally lead his army to break through the Prince's Pass, capture Earl Franklin Fowler and escort him back to King's Landing for trial.

However, Oberon's invitation to fight was opposed by the former Prime Minister Jon Clinton. Although the two have had a good personal relationship since the appointment of Rang Xian, the gray-red-haired man has a straight personality and is not flexible. Public affairs are public affairs, and private affairs are private affairs.

"Lord Oberyn, as the Prince of Dorne, should take the initiative to avoid suspicion."

The former Prime Minister Jon Clinton said with a cold face, then turned his head to look at the silver-haired youth sitting on the Iron Throne.

"His Majesty."

"Lord Franklin Fowler, the guardian of the pass and the lord of the city, flouted the laws of the kingdom and mobilized troops without authorization to attack the villages and castles in the royal territory of the Reach."

"They killed the wife, children and children of the Cenford family, and burned down the people's homes and farmland. They deserve to be punished."

"I would like to bring Franklin Fowler to justice."

Below, Jon Clinton wore the medal of the King's Hand and severely condemned Franklin Fowler's sins, while the silver-haired young man sitting on the icy throne had a calm face from beginning to end, without causing any waves, and he could not see the joy and anger. .

He leaned on the back of the chair and looked at the expressions on the faces of the nobles below. The city lord violated the laws of the kingdom and could be punished according to the law, just like the rebellion in Stonehelm last year.

"Can."

It wasn't until Jon Clinton had said everything that Viserys nodded slightly.

"Lord Jon Clinton."

"His Majesty."

An ordinary man wearing the king's hand walked out from the group of ministers.

"Give you two thousand soldiers to bring him before me."

"Send a letter to Sunspear at the same time, asking Prince Doran to explain this."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Jon Clinton, on the other hand, bowed slightly and saluted, then returned to his original position.
