Dagoshi Manwudi's body stiffened, and his strength and vitality seemed to be leaving him.
He groaned and slowly fell to the ground.
Until this moment, Dagoushi did not think that his actions in Dornish Marches were wrong. Most Dorne masters have that kind of virtue.
But he clearly felt that he was about to die----
This Dorne master who was very sinister in Dornish Marches and allowed his subordinates to do many evil things will eventually die at the hands of the Avenger in the land he invaded.
He slowly pulled out his sword from his opponent's body cavity, and blood slowly dripped down the broad blade.
The illegitimate son lowered his head and glanced at Wangjiacheng Earl, who was moaning and groaning and was about to turn into a corpse.
A happy smile appeared on the face covered with fine scars, and he softly uttered the clan language from Nightsong House Caron: "Sweet as a song----"
After speaking, he smacked his lips, as if he was savoring the wonderful taste of killing the enemy and gaining victory.
Roland Storm defeated Dargoth Manwudi.
Kingsgrave was completely destroyed.
The news of the death of Dagosh Manwudi spread throughout the four walls of the city, and the Dornish Marches soldiers who were about to completely occupy this place burst into deafening cheers.
Kingsgrave people are dying and falling.
Titus rode a black war horse and slowly entered the city. His eyes swept across the devastated streets and the corpses lying on the ground, with no trace of emotion on his face.
I don't know when, but the opportunities for me to go to the battlefield in person became less and less.
He felt that it was necessary to find some fun for himself.
After entering Wangjiacheng, Titus has been observing.
In his opinion, this square castle cannot be called a strong city. What's more terrible is that it is located in the middle of the Prince's Pass passage, seriously hindering the transportation between the north and the south.
Anyway, even if he had to collect toll tax, he would not choose here.
Keeping it is also a hidden danger----
He planned to collect and count all the wealth of House Manwoody, and then burn the entire royal city to the ground to remove this eyesore for Prince's Pass.
Don't people like Dagoshi like to burn, so he will respond with blazing flames.
The act of burning the city was not only a punishment for House Manwoody's previous invasion of Dornish Marches, but also a complete removal of this obstacle and a warning to the Dorne family further south.
When the Starpike soldiers took action, searching for the treasures in the city in an experienced and orderly manner, and collecting Manwudi's gold and silver supplies and past savings, the House Swann soldiers who had not contributed much in the previous siege battle were also preparing for subsequent arson.
Just a moment ago, the captain of the guard who was sent to guard the treasure house of Manwudi came back riding her White Horse.
Wenda got off his horse and walked quickly to Black Earl, who had won another battle.
The female captain, who has always maintained a keen insight, could not hide a hint of excitement while looking solemn at this moment.
She leaned close to Titus, moved her red lips slightly, and whispered a few words in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Titus's originally calm face immediately flashed with a slight hint of joy, and then returned to normal.
He nodded slightly to Ms. Wenda and motioned for her to lead the way, followed only by Earl's personal guard.
Stonehelm Earl, who was calling the soldiers, was curious, but he had a look and did not follow. He stayed where he was and continued to command with his knights.
Titus followed Wenda through the chaotic buildings in the fort and came to a stone house that was tightly controlled by the guards.
After being introduced by Wenda, this is the entrance to the secret room of House Manwoody.
After asking all the guards to stay outside, the two entered the stone chamber. Lady White Eagle, who had vicious eyes, showed Earl her major discovery, a treasure that could shock the entire kingdom, a black crown.
The shape of the crown is a very simple ring shape, and the material used is indeed the Valyrian steel product that is familiar to both Titus and Wenda.
The main body has no unnecessary complicated decorations, but the ring is inlaid with nine large square rubies. Those rubies emit a strange and luxurious light in the dark secret room.
Titus's pupils shrank, and a storm gradually arose in his heart.
He recognized the crown - it was the crown made by "Conqueror" Aegon I out of Valyrian steel.
Throughout the history of the Targaryen Dynasty, only a few kings were lucky enough to wear this crown.
Aegon I, Maegor I, Aegon II, Daeron I----No, Aegon II was sprayed by dragon flames, and the regent "one-eyed" Aemond·Targaryen also briefly possessed it while he was recovering from his injuries.
Only five Targaryen's have ever worn it.
According to historical records, when "Dragonbane" Aegon III died, his heir Daeron I was only fourteen years old. At this age, Daeron·Targaryen became the second youngest among the kings to ascend the throne - the youngest was his father.
Although Daeron was underage at the time, Daeron's uncle and the then Prince Hand of the King Viserys did not seek the title of regent for himself.
Although Daeron is young, he is charming, humane and smart. After taking the throne, Daeron believed that Dorne's independence represented the unfinished work of the "conqueror" and the Targaryen royal family, so after taking the throne, he vowed to make up for the regrets of his ancestors.
At first, his Hand of the King, staff and the nobles with heavy troops were strongly opposed to this matter. The young king only received the support of "Oakfist"Alyn·Velaryon Earl. The ambitious young people worked together to formulate a new conquest plan.
The battle began.
The king personally marched, and his troops were divided into three groups to attack Dorne from all sides.
The army led by him passed through the narrow path, successfully bypassed the rugged and dangerous Boneway and the watchtowers scattered throughout it, and drove straight into the eastern part of Dorne.
In the second year after the war began, he personally captured Sunspear located east of Greenblood, forcing House Martell to surrender and surrender to Iron Throne.
It took another year to pacify all parts of Dorne, and Daeron I returned to the court in triumph with his trophies and fourteen hostages from different Dorne noble families.
After conquering Dorne, Daeron received the honorific title "Young Dragon". He also wrote a book "Dorne Conquest Notes"
, to brag about their achievements.
This is a great achievement that even the "conquerors" have not achieved. The young man is very proud, so proud that he is a little bit carried away.
Daeron is both civil and military.
The book is elegantly written, but its author exaggerates the number of enemies in the book to boast of his superior performance on the battlefield.
Moreover, this book also overemphasizes its role in bypassing Boneway and ignores the military operation of "Oakfist" to capture Planky Town, control the entire Greenblood, and directly cut off the connection between the east and west of Dorne, which is actually more strategic.
That battle lasted a whole Summer.
In order to capture Dorne, 10,000 people died in Iron Throne, and later in order to defend it, another 50,000 people died.
Even so, Daeron I's "conquest" did not last long enough.
He brought back the hostages of King's Landing, but was unable to force the nobles and people of Dorne to stop resisting. Dornish caused a lot of losses in three years.
Lord of Highgarden Lyonel·Tyrell, who governs Dorne on behalf of Daeron, can only run around everywhere to suppress the seemingly never-ending rebellion, and are constantly harassed back and forth by Dornish's guerrilla troops.
In the end, Duke Lyonel was suspected of being killed by Qorgyle Earl in the vicinity of Sandstone. Within half a month, the whole territory of Dorne rioted, Iron Throne's army retreated northward in defeat, and Daeron's achievements were finally in vain.
After hearing the news, "Young Dragon" immediately launched troops to counterattack Dorne. He won several battles and once again broke through the stone road. "Oakfist", who attacked from the sea, once again led the Velaryon family's fleet and broke through Greenblood's defense line.
Dornish was defeated again, and in the year 161 of the Conquest Calendar, he agreed to peace and expressed his willingness to swear allegiance again.
Unexpectedly, this was a trap. Dornish betrayed his trust and attacked them.
"Young Dragon" had just passed his eighteenth Name Day, and ended up fighting to the death with "Blackfyre" in hand.
Daeron loved fighting all his life. He never married and had no descendants. After his death, his younger brother Baelor inherited the throne--
The crown that Wenda handed over to Titus was lost when the eighth king of Iron Throne - "Young Dragon" Daeron I died and Dorne passed away. Its whereabouts have been unknown since then.
Unexpectedly, it was secretly hidden by Manwu Di from Wangjiacheng and became their family's private treasure.
The scene at this moment made Titus feel a little dazed, and a strong sense of déjà vu came to his mind. Isn't this the same as when Sun Jian dug up the imperial seal in the ruins of the burning Luoyang City?
Could it be that I, Titus·Peake, are really "destined"?
Thinking of the endless fun ending between "Jiangdong Tiger" and his son "Little Overlord", Titus shook his head.
A crown, of course, is nothing—even if it is made of corrugated steel.
But in this continent, once it is "used" properly, its significance is equally important.
A certain Hightower Hand of the King once said, "Whoever wears the crown of "conqueror" and holds the Blackfyre of "conqueror" in his hand is the king of Westeros."
After letting these words linger in his mind for a moment, Titus quickly returned to normal.
"Keep this crown properly. It will be carried and kept by you personally until we return to Starpike."
Titus lowered his voice and told Ms. Wenda beside him. "In addition, I would like to warn all the members of the guard who are involved in guarding this stone room that this matter is kept secret and must be kept strictly confidential without any publicity."
Wenda knew the importance, nodded solemnly, carefully wrapped the crown and put it away close to the body.
Kingsgrave, the fire is soaring into the sky.
House Manwoody's rule inside the pass has completely come to an end.
After the battle, rewards will be given based on merit.
Titus A grand award ceremony was held in the large Chinese army tent that was set up.
He took part of the property collected from House Manwoody and used it as trophies for the border army, and generously distributed it to the Earl who came to participate in the war.
All nobles, knights, and even ordinary soldiers who made meritorious deeds in siege battles received extremely generous rewards. Gold, armor, and even some Dorne specialties and scarce supplies in the north were distributed.
There was great joy in the Chinese army tent.
The first victory in this battle fell without any doubt on the head of "Nightsong illegitimate son" Roland Storm.
Not only was he the first warrior to climb the Wangjiacheng wall, he also personally killed the culprit of the rebellion in the border area, Dargos Manwudi, Earl of Wangjiacheng.
Starpike Earl's eyes fell on Roland. He looked at this young man who was similar to himself in age and was full of admiration and admiration. He slowly said, "Roland Storm, you made the greatest contribution in this battle. You conquered the city first and beheaded the enemy. You have made outstanding achievements.
Today, in the name of Dornish Marches guardian, I make you a knight."
Earl-sama did not miss any practical work and carried out the ceremony neatly.
The young illegitimate son was so excited that he knelt down on one knee and did not get up for a long time.
Nightsong Earl Bryce·Caron also watched the whole ceremony with proud smiles on their faces.
Baylan·Caron's two sons were both canonized as knights by his former attendants. This is also a kind of inheritance.
Titus is still thinking:
Bliss Knight, does it sound a little weird?
"Young Dragon" Daeron·Targaryen wearing the "Conqueror" crown:
