Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 189
Ser Cortnay Penrose looked indifferent, and had completely given up hope for the melee in the city.

It's all over...

The gates of the city have been completely lost, the passages have been occupied, the barracks, warehouses, and arsenals have all fallen into the enemy's hands, and the battle in the hall is about to end.

Fortunately, the city wall is still stable for the time being, so that he still has the last time to think about the review.

This is the only thing we can do now, isn't it?

Cortnay Penrose smiled miserably.

At this time, his brain was more awake than ever before.My mind was running fast, and I quickly figured out a lot of things.

The facts are in front of us.

Joffrey's army is so powerful, unimaginably powerful.

Since when?

At least not today, nor after the siege, but before that.

How terrifying.

What critical information.

Cortnay Penrose didn't know whether to hate himself, hated himself for not discovering it earlier, being deceived by the enemy's disguise, and even misleading His Majesty Renly.

Damn it.

By the way, the ravens in Rain House City and Griffin's Nest Castle also brought wrong news.

Deadly news.

These castles are by no means as safe and sound as they themselves say.Even Storm's End couldn't resist that kind of terrifying power, what other castle could?
Cape Wrath is over, it's over.

Cortanay Penrose realized this just now, but it was too late.

Were those castles voluntarily writing letters to lie, or were they threatened?Have the earl and maesters defected to King Joffrey, or are they being severely punished?

Cortnay Penrose lamented deeply.

None of this makes sense now.The reality is irreversible.

These castles have sent messages.

And Storm's End was by no means the only place to receive these messages.Bronzegate, Greenvale, Fallenwood, those castles closer to His Majesty Renly must have been blinded as well.

Coupled with the one sent by Storm's End, it seems to be a more trustworthy one.

Then.

Where is Lord Renly?
A terrible guess flashed through his mind, causing Cortanay Penrose to feel an inexplicable pain.

I have killed Lord Renly! ?

Recalling the letter written by himself more than ten days ago, it was so clear that Cortanay Penrose knew that he had committed a serious crime.

He couldn't believe it.

But all signs today are telling him the cruel truth.His doubts just now were also answered in this unacceptable way.

Why did you choose to attack today?

Cortnay Penrose looked to the north, eyes beseeching the sovereign beyond his sight.Lord Renly, are you coming?Did you come with an army because of my letter?
If this is the case, before it's too late, let's leave quickly...

Cortnay Penrose closed his eyes sadly, and left Storm's End, the Seven Kingdoms, and all regions that sea ships could reach while he still had the chance.

Out of range of the Royal Fleet.

Yes.Although I haven't seen the true strength of the Royal Fleet yet.But he had already guessed a lot.

violent explosion.

Wouldn't the weapon that destroyed the gates of Storm's End be more suitable for a battleship?
The swaying sea, the flying iron balls, what fortress on the coast can resist such forces?Presumably that's how the castles of Cape Wrath were conquered.

Cortnay Penrose felt no resentment.

Lord Renly is determined to become king and seize the Iron Throne. He can't oppose it, and he will do his best to be loyal.But ask him to judge right from wrong?

Cortanay Penrose didn't think he had this qualification or ability.

Of course it's good to win the war, but if you lose, you should face it calmly and welcome any ending.After all, it was a rebellion, and the losers should not cry out for injustice.

He only hoped that Lord Renly would leave safely.

But his wish obviously had no real effect.

Before the sun sets, Storm's End will be completely captured, and no one can restore it, and no one can escape.Lord Renly knew nothing of the disaster here.

Until Lord Renly appeared outside Storm's End.

What will happen then?
Boom boom~
The explosive sound of the terrifying weapon seemed to resound, and Cortanay Penrose's thinking was occupied by it, and then he outlined the future disaster.

Lord Renly must have brought a large army, though.Maybe it can consume the iron ball.

Cortanay Penrose wanted to believe that.

But he also knew in his heart that he could not speculate on unknown things with a narrow mind.

Just like Aegon the Conqueror 300 years ago.At that time, the Andal kings did not see clearly the power of the flames of the three giant dragons, so they gathered their troops and left the castle to fight the dragons in the wild.The results of it?

Anger ignited.

Now this battle seems even more desperate than "Raging Fire".

After all, Aegon back then had only three dragons, and now.Cortanay Penrose looked back into the castle, and there were countless terrifying warriors wearing hexagram white robes.

Hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands.

No one can maintain the original courage in the face of such power.

Even for the part of the city wall where Cortanay Penrose was, the guards had already given up resistance and did not dare to use the crossbow again, lest they be liquidated later.

How many people have died so far?
He wondered if he should guess a higher number to prove the soldier's bravery.If the truth is calculated, there will be a maximum of 100 people.

He felt both relief and regret.

There are soldiers who have given up their weapons everywhere in the city, but there are very few corpses.

The invisible passage connected by the city gate should be the place with the most casualties.But most of them probably died not of bravery, but of ignorance.

They used their lives to fight for the safety of the city wall for a period of time, but it was in vain.

Count the time, it's time to come.

Cortanay Penrose seemed to have stayed out of the matter, quietly watching the entrance of the stairs inside the city wall, waiting for his end.

The adjutant seemed to have seen the mayor's death intention.

"My lord, Edric is still in the bedroom right now, shall we go over and have a look. The city is so chaotic, what if..."

Cortanay Penrose was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes widened.

Edric Storm!

Little Edric, King Robert's own blood, blood of the Baratheon family.

How could I forget this little guy!
Lord Renly also told him to take good care of little Ed and ensure his safety!
Cortanay Penrose finally ignited some fighting spirit, "Call for a reliable man, and we will go to Little Ed immediately!"

The adjutant breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes!"

……

"Iron Bull" Gendry was unhappy: "Hmph! Where are you going? Surrender immediately! Come with me to see His Majesty!"

The target ran all the way from the city wall back to the tower, which made it much more troublesome for him to chase.

Cortanay Penrose protected little Ed behind him.

"Right on my mind."

After all, they are connected by blood.I hope Joffrey will spare little Eddie.

Is this a luxury?
Reminded by the light curtain, Gendry looked at the eleven or twelve-year-old boy again.

Black hair, blue eyes, just like myself.But he has a pair of big ears.This is King Robert's bastard son, Edric Storm?
King Robert.Oh, what an incompetent father.

"Let's go."

Gendry said. "Follow me to see His Majesty, the two of you together."
