Chapter 39, Telosi
It was not the First Legion of the Empire that attacked King's Landing, but the Third Regular Army of the Empire!
Seeing the sassy heroic cross-sword coming, listening to the familiar voice, Arthur was so moved that he wanted to cry.
"It's Anne Crowdy?!"
Not his grandfather Francis Arnold's Imperial First Steps, Ryan was a little disappointed.
But...
It's finally safe now.
"Ryan!"
The tense spirit relaxed, and Ryan fell to the ground weakly, and Arthur hurriedly checked the injury when he saw this.
Fortunately, there was a heartbeat, and there was no direct death.
It's just that the body is exhausted to the limit, and the injuries and blood loss can't hold on to fainting.
After Ryan, Heinly Kay couldn't hold it anymore, so she let Anne help her on the horse, and she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
"Sir Barristan don't think they're asleep like this, they won't wake up!" Arthur hurriedly shouted when he saw that the captain of the Kingsguard with his sword also wanted to close his eyes.
"Sir Barristan, it's not time to rest yet. Jack Claudie, the commander of the Third Legion, rode over and said, "We're running out of men and must leave King's Landing." ”
Hearing this, Barristan nodded resolutely, but wanted to stand up, but he didn't have the strength.
Jack hurriedly ordered his subordinates: "Find two carriages at once." ”
"How is Your Majesty?"
Arthur picked Barristan up and replied, "I'm still unconscious, we need treatment." ”
Annie: "Don't worry, we have doctors out of town. ”
Riding in the carriage that Jack Claudie had let his men do, the crowd did not stop for the slightest, and immediately headed out of the city at full speed.
on the carriage.
Tending to the wounds of Emperor Robert, Prime Minister Eddard, Barristan, Ryan, Heinrikay, and the last remaining Stark family guards, Arthur turned his head to look at the street of spears, steel swords, shields, stumps and corpses.
Under the light of the setting sun, the blood was not obvious, and most of the corpses that had fallen and could not move again were seen by the darkening sky, and some could not even see the outline of the human form, as if they had merged into the earth and become a part of it.
As soon as they stepped out of the Dragon Gate on their front feet, the soldiers of the garrison regiment with griffin breastplates and swords at their waists, spears and shields in their hands were led by the hounds.
Jack Claudie had soldiers and siege equipment outside the city.
Seeing the pursuers, he immediately commanded the soldiers to launch an attack, and after a moment of blocking, he led all the people to turn in, and the expensive crossbows, catapults, ladders and other equipment were thrown away.
Jack said that it was not a joke that his men were running out quickly, and that the Third Legion was a full-fledged legion, and even if the troops that brought King Qin were only 1,000 elites, the number of soldiers who remained outside the city to guard the siege equipment was less than fifty.
The Imperial Territory is bordered to the north by the Lannister Territory.
Cersei unleashed ravens, believing that in less than three days, the Lannisters' army would surround the surviving emperor, and then sit down with Prime Minister Ed to kill the king, so that Joffrey would succeed to the throne.
"Anne, it's me, Varian Vishui, is my brother with you?"
After entering the city, there was no news of Ryan, knowing that the Lannisters were going to rebel, as a younger brother, Varian was very worried about his brother's safety, and the city gates were all blocked, and he could only wait anxiously when he could not enter.
After inquiring about the fierce battle that broke out in the Dragon Gate, he immediately brought people over.
At this time, when he saw his acquaintance Anne, as well as Jack Claudius of the Third Legion, he immediately asked loudly.
"Yes, he's hurt. Anne said.
Varian: "Take me there." ”
"Sir Barristan. Greeting the captain of the Royal Guards sitting in the carriage, he saw the fat man and the northern man lying in the carriage: "Your Majesty and the Prime Minister are also injured?"
Barristan was too tired to take care of him, and he could not sleep to keep the emperor and prime minister safe, so he could only lean back in his seat.
Ryan and Arthur were lying in a carriage, and the two of them were not as lucky as Heinly Kay to have a carriage to themselves.
"Maester Eric is still at my house, why don't you stop by my house and ask him to check on the injuries of His Majesty and the Prime Minister?" After seeing the sleeping Ryan's injury, Varian approached Jack Claudius to discuss.
After a moment of silent thought, Jack nodded in agreement.
Maria Arnold and Liana Elizabeth have reservations about the Lannister's rebellion, the queen is not a good person, and the two are not less angry with her, and they have a grudge against Cersei for not a day or two.
Therefore, when they heard the sound of the death knell from the city and the news they had discovered, they immediately sent ravens to deliver messages to their respective families.
Seeing that the Emperor had fallen into a coma with his injuries under control, and none of the Prime Minister, Barristan, Lane, and Arthur were intact, the two immediately released Raven again, and by the way, released the news that Joffrey and Tomman were the illegitimate sons of the Queen and her twin brother Ranlun.
Maria wanted to tell the world the news.
Because in doing so, Ryan and Varian are very likely to get the right to inherit! Even if it's not the first and second in line, it's even better to be legally illegitimate children!
And there is a father who is the commander of the first regiment of the empire, and he rescued the emperor and the prime minister, this matter is handled properly, and it is not impossible to become a legitimate illegitimate child!
Maester Eric quickly checked on everyone's injuries.
However.
Uninvited guests also chased after them.
The garrison regiment, like the Imperial First Regiment, was hoplite.
The speed of movement was not as fast as that of the Third Legion, who were all on horseback, but that didn't mean they couldn't catch up when they stopped.
"It's a hound, and he's coming after him with the garrison. Jack Claudie said in a deep voice.
Maria Arnold said, "I have sent a letter to my father, let's go to the city of three mountains together." ”
"I agree. "To be able to obtain the protection of the first regiment, Barristan is the first to agree.
I didn't even have time for dinner.
The crowd hurried away under the starry night.
Woods, grasses, bushes, unknown paths, smelling fresh air, Arthur in the carriage woke up from a tremble, and opened his eyes to the stars in the night.
"Wake up, do you want to drink some wine to refresh yourself?" said Ryan, who was sitting next to him, as he handed over the wine bag.
Hearing this, Arthur smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, I want to drink water." ”
As soon as the words fell, Heinlikai, who was sitting in the carriage behind, threw a water bladder.
"The choice of. Ryan muttered, and then returned to his senses, "Arthur, we're in a bad situation. ”
"The Hound is in hot pursuit with the garrison corps behind, there is no news from the first and second legions, the Lannisters have sent a thousand men to chase them, at our current speed, even if we go to the agreed rendezvous point, we may not be able to wait for the first legion. ”
"And... They deliberately drove us to the sea. ”
Arthur couldn't quite understand, shook his head and frowned and asked, "I've slept for a few days, have Your Majesty and the Prime Minister woken up?"
Lane said: "I slept for three days, and I woke up today, Your Majesty and the Prime Minister have not woken up, and Sir Barristan has also fallen into a coma. ”
"And do we have a ship?" asked Arthur mused.
Ryan smiled bitterly: "If you have a ship, you don't have to keep looking for a way to escape." ”
"So we're still going to run. ”
"That's right. ”
...... To be continued......
