Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system
Chapter 209 The Tribulation of Dragonstone Island
The raid took place at night.
There were no lighthouses in this era, and everything on the sea had to be detected by the eyes of the guards.
But unfortunately, there was no moonlight on the night that Earl of Tarth chose to attack.
More than ten years ago, the last princess of the Targaryen dynasty, Daenerys "Stormborn" Targaryen, was born on this island.
And more than ten years later, here, a princess from another dynasty was facing a life-and-death crisis, but she didn't know it at all.
"Quick! Quick! Get closer! Seize the gate of Dragonstone Castle as soon as possible and never let it close!"
The south side of Dragonstone Island is a good deep-water port, where large ships dock, and complete dock equipment has been built on the island.
The fleet that was originally stationed here is now stationed in King's Landing, fighting for the throne for the owner of this island. Therefore, there is no one on the dock, and no one expects that someone will attack them.
The first ship docked steadily, and Earl of Tarth's army had already stepped onto the dock. Above their heads, the light of Dragonstone Castle was extremely conspicuous in the night sky.
No one was raising a flag. If they were not recognized, then this thing was done by pirates for the time being, although the secret would definitely be exposed in the future. After all, so many people were involved, and it was impossible to keep everyone's mouth sealed.
But that will happen in the future. His Majesty Renly has already sat on the Iron Throne, so this matter has become unimportant.
Before Stannis left, he almost emptied the island of troops, leaving only a hundred men to defend the Dragonstone fortress.
Therefore, it was not until Count Tars' army reached the gate that they were discovered by the guards.
After taking a look at the large group of human heads that suddenly appeared in the dark night, the guard immediately realized what was going on.
Just as the two were about to warn them, two sharp crossbow arrows had already shot out from the darkness, piercing the air.
There was a pop sound, and the steel arrows pierced the throats of the two men.
The smell of blood filled the air, and the guard fell down clutching his neck. The arrow was a fatal wound. The bachelor shook his head when he saw it. He even skipped the poppy milk, so he could prepare to recite his eulogy directly.
So, with such ease, the final gate of Dragonstone Castle was captured effortlessly by Count Tarth's army.
The army climbed up the long stone steps connecting the main castle and the gate, and this time, luck no longer favored them.
They were discovered.
A shrill roar resounded through the night sky, and the guards of the main castle yelled the word "enemy attack" at the top of their lungs.
Suddenly, the entire Dragonstone Castle was in chaos, and everyone woke up from their dreams. The men took up weapons and came to the city wall, while the women hid in the room and trembled, praying to the new Red God that the Seven Gods were alive.
Now that they have been discovered, Count Tas's troops are no longer timid and cautious.
The leader of the team drew his sword from his waist, pointed in the direction of Dragonstone Castle, and let out a cry filled with endless blood:
"charge!"
Since the city gate had been lost, the battle entered into a fierce hand-to-hand encounter from the very beginning. The dull and strange sounds of swords piercing human bodies were heard endlessly, and screams could be heard throughout the sky and the earth.
More than ten years ago, this place witnessed another desperate fight. The Royal Fleet betrayed its master and launched an attack here to defeat the outnumbered. The warriors wearing black and red dragon uniforms spilled blood all over the place. Every corner of the fort.
Today, the crowned stag, representing the Baratheon family, also splashed his blood on every lifelike dragon-shaped stone sculpture on Dragonstone Island.
Stones have no emotions, they are just witnesses, witnessing every betrayal, killing, bloodshed, and death in the world.
The maesters on Dragonstone immediately sent a message to Stannis in King's Landing via raven with the news of the attack.
It’s not that he doesn’t know that Stannis is in the most critical stage now, but he also understands the importance of Celine Baratheon to the entire Stannis Group. Is this the future queen?
If something goes wrong with this eldest lady, none of them here will probably survive, because this is the only weakness in Stannis's heart. After all, other than that, he doesn't care about anything.
The guard of more than a hundred people only held on for a short time with the help of the tall Dragonstone Castle walls. After being named by more than ten crossbowmen from Count Tarth's army, they were forced to withdraw into the castle and continue to resist.
As soon as they withdrew, Count Tarth's army immediately seized the inner city gate, and the subsequent troops rushed into the castle and rushed towards the stone drum tower in the center, which was the core of the entire Dragonstone Island.
The battle first broke out in the hall. When the Targaryen family built Dragonstone Castle, they designed it to look like a giant dragon lying on the ground, and the door was the dragon's huge mouth.
The guards overturned the long table and took out longbows and hand crossbows to fight back. In an instant, more than ten people in Count Tars's army were shot dead one after another. The blood stained the floor of the hall, just like the bloody mouth of a giant dragon. .
But this kind of resistance is actually impossible to last. Their manpower is too few. When the iron can soldiers wearing heavy armor rushed in carrying a hail of arrows, the defense line of the hall was declared lost.
The guard who had no time to escape was stabbed to death by the rushing Earl of Tars' army, and he was not even given a chance to beg for mercy.
The soldiers rushed into the kitchen connected to the hall, where vegetables were still simmering on the stove.
Of course they wouldn't miss this opportunity, took everything that could be eaten directly, and started to feast on it.
Some soldiers found several trembling cooks in the lockers. They were of different ages and different appearances, but they didn't care. No one would hold them accountable for doing something at this time.
As a result, the female's shrill screams echoed in the kitchen, interspersed with intermittent low moans, but soon, these sounds disappeared.
"I told you to be gentle. It's better now. If you die so quickly, what will happen to the brothers behind you?"
"Forget it, continue searching in other places, you can always find it again. We are not some Stormland army tonight, we are pirates who do all kinds of evil. It will be fine."
"You're such a bastard, go away!"
The sound faded away, leaving only a bloody ground and dead bodies. They deserved mercy, but unfortunately, there was no one to pity them here.
There was originally a temple of the Seven Gods on Dragonstone, but as Stannis fell to the Red God, the statues of the Seven Gods in this temple were demolished, and the statue of R'hllor occupied the original place of the Seven Gods.
The Earl of Tarth's army blocked more than 20 Stannis's defenders inside the church. Due to terrain and construction problems, they suffered more than 20 casualties and were unable to rush in.
Just when these ordinary soldiers were helpless, the officer leading the team came here, took a look at the situation, and then looked at the gods enshrined in this temple, with a sneer on his blood-covered face:
"Since Stannis believes in the heresy of the Red God, well, let's use a fire and let these soldiers serve as sacrifices to this alien god. It will be worthy of their resistance. Come on!"
The found flammable materials were quickly piled up in various places in the church. After sealing the door, the officer snatched the torch from the soldier and threw it into the ruins composed of hay and wood.
As a result, the fire light illuminated half of Dragonstone Island, like a lighthouse in the dark night sky. The thick smoke column snaked upward, bringing up the flying ashes.
The garden named after Aegon Targaryen was filled with corpses and fire. In the Sea Dragon Tower, the helpless maester was stabbed through the heart by an enemy from the sea.
Before that, he had let all the ravens fly. He would never allow anyone to use the name of Dragonstone to spread the news.
The soldiers came to the huge stone throne where Aegon Targaryen once sat before conquering the Seven Kingdoms. They all smiled strangely, and their dirty boot soles left footprints on the dark throne.
This was a complete massacre. Except for Celine Baratheon, whom Earl of Tarth wanted, no one was left alive on Dragonstone!
Finally, Selwyn Tarth entered the chamber where Celine Baratheon was.
This is a typical female boudoir, with three people in the room.
A shivering maid, a dignified and luxuriously dressed woman, and a little girl with the left side of her face and neck covered in black skin.
"Selwyn, I didn't expect it to be you. Aren't you afraid of being punished for doing this?"
The speaker was Selyse Florent, now Stannis's queen and the mother of Celine Baratheon.
"No, ma'am, I will not be punished because I am the winner. The so-called punishment is just the loser's desperate curse for the winner's occasional mistakes."
Selwyn Tas shrugged and came to the mother and daughter.
As for the maid, she had been dragged out long ago, and he didn't care about her fate.
"Renly sent you here. I really didn't expect that he would be such a person."
Celis Florent sighed. From the moment she saw Selwyn, she knew that she would definitely not survive.
Earl Selwyn Tarth was silent. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to see the scene in front of him.
But he was Renly's vassal, and he had to do some things.
"Please...Ms. Celis, and Miss Celine, you need to leave here."
After saying this, Count Tas left without looking back.
He walked outside the door, and the blood of Death Maid flowed all over the floor and wet the soles of his shoes.
The bloody footprints extend forward with no end in sight.
