Game of Thrones: I Became a Crown Prince For a Day

Chapter 242 The end of the road

 In the urn city.

Amos hid in the stone chamber, covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and shouted in panic: "Where is the Scarlet Witch?"

“I don’t know, it seems like a sacrifice is being held in the sacred forest.”

The Oath Knight responded and said in fear: "Sir, there are still a lot of wildfires in the Weng City. We have to rush out quickly."

 What just exploded was a wildfire with a few trucks outside.

 If you wait for the fire to get bigger, the high temperature will ignite wildfires in the city.

By then, everyone will have been burned to death by wildfire.

Amos looked dazed for a moment, as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Yes! There are also sacrifices, the King of Light will protect me!"

While shouting, he took out the token in his arms.

 The wooden barrels used to hold wildfires are relatively stable, and the fine sand on them can also provide a cushioning effect.

The team of thousands of people headed straight for the secret passage with noisy footsteps.

"Don't touch me, it's burning..."

 The coarse sand is mixed with stones and mud, and it is bumpy.

 Originally, this kind of jitter is not a problem.

 Leading the army downstairs, the temperature was getting higher and higher, and the air was filled with the stench of wildfires.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　——

No one of the remaining soldiers dared to touch the wildfire, and they all followed the lord and fled.

He firmly believes that after the Scarlet Witch's sacrifice is over, the Lord of Light will give him the power to defeat the evil Targaryen and the dragon.

 On the secret passage separated by a wall, a large number of soldiers were still evacuating closely.

 Soldiers guarding wildfires hurriedly reported.

"my face…"

Amos led more than 300 people to evacuate the Wengcheng, and their location was in a remote corner of the outer city wall.

A banging sound.

 On both sides of the wall, two wooden shelves are placed.

A barrel of wildfire suddenly exploded, detonating the remaining wildfires and bursting into green flames in no particular order.

Then…

 Just to have a day to prepare for unexpected events.

 “Ah…wildfire…”

 Outside the secret passage.

 The secret passage was already narrow, and the moment the wildfire broke out, hundreds of soldiers were swallowed up.

“Follow me, there is a secret passage under the Wengcheng, escape from here!”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　–

The wildfire swayed with the wooden frame and naturally bumped against stones and mud.

 While still waiting for more soldiers to climb out of the secret passage, a wave of heat surged out.

 “My lord, the wildfire is still in the cellar.”

 The space beneath their feet.

However, half of the sand used for wildfire bedding is coarse sand.

The soldiers' fleeing movements became louder and louder, causing the cellar wall to shake slightly.

 For a time, wails and despair filled the night sky.

 A tiny piece of earth shook off and landed on the sandy ground.

　　咚咚…

 “Ah! Save me, save me...”

 Buckets of wildfire were lined with sand and piled neatly on the shelf.

 As soon as a soldier climbed out of his upper body, wildfire spurted out and enveloped him entirely.

 Cellar.

As the soldiers' footsteps increased, the stone walls in the cellar trembled slightly.

 The floor of the secret passage exploded, wildfire spread wildly, and poured into the entire secret passage.

Amos pushed him away and ran to the secret passage next to him, shouting: "I can't care about that much, I have to go back to find the Scarlet Witch first."

Boom—

As a clan of Bracken, our ancestors have dug countless passages in Shili City for generations.

The soldier's body was on fire, he twisted his body wildly, screamed and fell back into the secret passage.

The wildfire is still gushing out, reaching a height of more than ten meters.

The blazing heat wave crashed like a stormy sea, knocking Amos and others to the ground.

 “Run, run!”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Amos panicked and crawled away from the exit of the secret passage.

 Half a sound.

The aftermath of the wildfire spewing out weakened, and the soldiers got up one after another.

Amos turned around and saw that the barbican city had fallen, burning wildfire from the inside out.

Green flames climbed dozens of meters high, burning the barbican like a giant torch.

 In the dark night, it is particularly conspicuous.

 “It’s over, there’s no going back.”

Amos froze on the spot, murmuring in despair.

Wengcheng fell, blocking the road back to the castle.

 They were trapped in the animal enclosure between the inner and outer city.

“Sir, for the present plan, we can only break out.”

 The Oath Knight supported Amos and made suggestions.

The Targaryen dragons are still flying in the night sky, appearing and disappearing.

 If you don’t hurry up and think of a way out, you will definitely be burned to ashes before dawn.

Amos held the token tightly and gritted his teeth and said: "There is an ambush from the Blackwood family in the outer city."

 “I can only give it a try, in case I escape.”

The Oath Knight has no choice but to do anything.

 There is still a chance of survival if you leave the city, which is better than waiting to die in place.

Amos closed his eyes in fear and trembled all over: "Okay, let's break out!"

 “The lord has an order, open the city and break out of the siege!”

The Oath Knight shouted loudly, led the remaining troops to open the city gate, and lowered the drawbridge.

 …

 The godswood.

 The sacrificial wildfire gradually extinguished, leaving only ashes and bones.

The Scarlet Witch knelt down in front of the ashes, clasped her hands together, and muttered: "Bless the King of Light..."

 As she recited a lot of messy prayers, her beautiful cheeks gradually aged.

 Just a few breaths.

 From a mature beauty in her twenties to an aunt with wrinkles on her face.

The Scarlet Witch didn't know what was going on. She picked up the ashes on the ground with both hands and smeared it on her face that had aged for decades.

While applying it, I was still praying devoutly.

 The ashes were spread evenly on the face and neck.

 A magical scene happened.

 The wrinkles on the plastered face disappear, the skin gradually becomes smooth, and the face returns to a youthful and beautiful appearance.

 She is a few years younger than when she first appeared, like a pretty girl.

 “Haha, it worked.”

 Sensing the change, the Scarlet Witch laughed sharply: "The Priest Fanbang really didn't lie to me!"

 The laughter gradually stopped, and the Scarlet Witch looked cautious: "No, I have to get out of here quickly."

 The goal is achieved and life is important.

As for the mistress Amos Bracken, he is nothing more than a stupid tool.

 After using it, throw it away.

Getting up, holding the red robe hanging at his feet, he ran towards the castle.

  Long time.

The Scarlet Witch took advantage of the night and ran to the horse gallery at the back.

 Sasha…

There was a sound.

The Scarlet Witch hurriedly hid behind the edge of the well and peeked out.

In the dark horse gallery, a tall and fat figure appeared.

 The figure emerged from the haystacks on the horse porch, clumsily removing the straw from his body, looking downcast.

The Scarlet Witch recognized the other party's identity at a glance.

That stupid big guy who was expelled as a bachelor and has a thin lineage of giants.

Turning her eyes, the Scarlet Witch had an idea and shouted: "Who is there?"

Unexpectedly, what responded to her was not a human voice, but a dull dragon roar.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　hurrah—

The huge black dragon flapped its wings, and the strong wind blew over the straw on the horse porch and hovered over the castle.

On the dragon's back, Lei Jia frowned slightly and vaguely heard some noises.

Looking down at the castle, there was no light, and it was as quiet as death.

 “Glutton, land.”

Rhaegar did not act rashly, and the dragon burned the castle to ruins.

 Before doing something, clarify the purpose.     Captured Shili City.

 Eradicate the Bracken family.

 Execution of Amos Bracken.

 Among the three things, attacking the city comes first.

Shili City is a noble territory where a castle and a city have been operating for many years.

 It is more valuable to seize it than to burn it.

Boom—

 The glutton landed on the horse porch and collapsed several flimsy huts with his feet.

As soon as he landed, Rega immediately spotted two figures hidden in the horse gallery.

 “Come out, don’t force my dragon to spit out dragon flames!”

Rhaegar stepped off the saddle, looked down at the two men and shouted in a deep voice.

 “Yes, my dear prince!”

Tol, who was tall and fat, ran out quickly and knelt down on the muddy ground with a thud.

 He is very unlucky.

 The old maester's escape attracted Amos's attention.

  Ordered in advance to seal the secret passage near the castle, blocking Tru's escape route.

As soon as he appeared, the Scarlet Witch also walked out tremblingly.

 Her beautiful eyes stared at the huge glutton, and her legs were weak.

She was even more unlucky. If she had known that it would attract the dragon, she would not have shouted that way.

Looking at this pair, Rhaegar frowned and was greatly surprised.

 A fat man wearing a gray robe, but without a bachelor's necklace around his neck.

 A seductive woman dressed in a red robe and dressed as a witch.

 Especially the Scarlet Witch.

 Let him recall the red-robed woman he killed when he massacred the mountain clan in the valley.

The woman has a shadow lynx as a companion, who is not afraid of fire and has something.

Thinking of this, Rhaegar took out a necklace set with rubies and asked the Scarlet Witch condescendingly: "Do you know her?"

 Speak concisely and concisely, and deceive the other party.

The Scarlet Witch timidly raised her head, her eyes first looking at Rhaegar's handsome face, and then looking at the necklace.

 When he saw the ruby ​​​​on the necklace, his eyes widened immediately and he blurted out: "Fire red heart!"

 “You know him!” Rhaegar raised the corners of his mouth.

　　It will be deceived once it is deceived.

The Scarlet Witch breathed rapidly, her eyes full of longing, and said: "This gem is one of the inherited treasures of the R'hllor Temple. It was lost long ago during the last war when Volantis invaded Lys."

R’hllor is the divine name of the Lord of Light in the human world.

The Free Trade Cities are the gathering places of many religions, and R'hllor has a wide range of beliefs.

One of the largest temples of R'hllor is located in Lys.

Of course, the natives of Lis do not believe in R'hllor, but worship a goddess of **** whose name cannot be revealed.

Rhaegar shook the necklace and realized it was a treasure. He asked, "What's the use of it? Is it immune to fire?"

 “No, no, no! That’s such a waste of resources.”

The Scarlet Witch's eyes were full of rubies, and her lips trembled as she said, "According to the high priest, the flaming red heart is a treasure given by R'hllor. The holder can communicate with God and make all wishes come true."

Rhaegar threw the necklace directly in front of her and said calmly: "Try it and see if it works."

 The glutton and the driver have a spiritual connection, their backs are raised high, and the dragon's kiss is aimed at the Scarlet Witch.

 If there is any abnormality, dragon flames will be at your service immediately.

The Scarlet Witch hasn't discovered this yet.

She only saw the ruby ​​​​that fell on the ground. Regardless of the appearance, she crawled forward quickly and picked up the ruby ​​​​with both hands.

 In the night, it is not surprising that the ruby ​​glows dimly.

"Great R'hllor, your faithful servant..."

The Scarlet Witch holds the ruby ​​in her hand, closes her eyes, and prays nervously.

 But, it has no effect.

 The ruby ​​was held coldly in the palm of the hand, and no miracle appeared.

"how so?"

The Scarlet Witch looked over and over, her eyes full of disbelief.

Seeing that the Scarlet Witch failed, Rhaegar lost his patience and warned: "Is it useful?"

 The glutton lowered the dragon's head, and his hot breath hit it.

 “If there is, there will definitely be.”

Scarlet Witch felt a chill running down her spine, and said hurriedly: "Perhaps she has not sacrificed for too long, and has lost the spirituality of the treasure, so she needs a sacrifice."

 She thought about sacrifice again.

Rhaegar looked into her eyes and said in a dangerous tone: "What is the sacrifice?"

 The Church of the Seven Gods and the Old Gods do not need sacrifices or sacrifices.

 He was a little unsure about R'hllor's foreign faith.

The Scarlet Witch's eyes flickered, and she had the idea of ​​seducing a crown prince, and raised her smile: "The sacrifice is..."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　——

  Halfway through her words, a sharp knife penetrated her chest from the back.

 Blood flowed loudly.

The Scarlet Witch stiffened and turned around with difficulty.

The last look before he died was the fearful and angry fat face of the expelled bachelor.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　—

 The corpse fell to the ground, twitched twice, and lost its breath.

Rhaegar watched quietly, with great interest.

 He saw the tall fat man's movements, but did not say anything to stop him.

 When the ruby ​​​​does not respond, the Scarlet Witch loses its value.

 When you die, you die.

　　After killing a man with his own hands, Tru dropped the dagger in fear, his big belly trembling with deep breaths.

Taking two deep breaths, he picked up the fallen ruby, raised his hands above his head, and his voice even sounded like crying:

"Dear prince, this woman is a liar. She has killed many people."

 He was forced to kill the Scarlet Witch.

The Scarlet Witch has tricked an earl of the Riverlands into thinking she is capable of rebellion.

 The Scarlet Witch cannot be allowed to contact the crown prince again and commit greater and more terrible sins.

His idea was correct, but he underestimated Rhaegar and overestimated Amos.

Rhaegar just wanted to ask about Ruby's ability and whether it hides some fire magic.

 Targaryen did not need sacrifices to tame the dragon.

Rhaegar looked down at the fat man below, amused by the contrast between his size and personality.

　　asked: “Who are you, dressed like a maester?”

 “Reporting to Prince, my name is Tru…”

Tohru lowered his head and introduced respectfully.

 He was born in the Reach and was born as a commoner without a surname.

Joined the city for further study before and achieved certain achievements.

 Later, I was attracted by information about wildfires and secretly developed it.

 An experiment failed and the room was blown up.

 Henceforth, he was expelled from the academy and driven out of the old town.

 Going around in circles, he fell into the Bracken family and became a tool for creating wildfires.

 Asked about the origin, Rega was a little confused.

Looking at Tohru carefully, he didn't realize that he could actually develop wildfire under such a burly physique.

 It’s a talent!

　　After pondering for a moment, Rhaegar stopped worrying about the background and asked about the business: "Where are the members of the Bracken family hiding?"

 “I know, in the cellar of the castle.”

True was full of grievances and not only wanted to report it, but also helped make suggestions.

"There are many civilians in the city who were driven into the city by Lord Amos. I can call some people to tie up the Bracken family."

Rhaegar glanced at the castle. He wanted to keep the castle intact and was unwilling to burn it with dragon flames.

 So he agreed to Tru's method.

 “You go ahead and do it.”

 “Yes, Prince.”

 …

 Outside Shili City.

 The suspension bridge was lowered, and Amos fled quickly surrounded by soldiers.

It's impossible to run away, and the outer city wall is also burning with dragon flames and wildfires, and even the slightest spark will kill anyone.

In the dark night, more than three hundred soldiers stepped onto the muddy grass.

　　Can't see the way forward clearly and run away in embarrassment.

 Woooooo—

A horn sounded, echoing in the open grassland.

Two thousand soldiers of the Blackwood family poured out of the night, murderous.

 “Kill them, leave no one behind!”
