Chapter 30: Eddard's Death
Sauron, of course, is not looking for death.
The blue number representing the mental power value in the upper left corner is burning rapidly, turning into a temporary attribute bonus on the body value, bringing itself to the peak realm.
The improvement of all-round quality brings faster speed and stronger strength.
Sword light, flickering through the crowd.
The first guard who was facing him, as if he had been hit by a mad horse, flew back at a faster speed than when he came, and brought the two people in the back row to the ground, and their bodies were so broken that they could not die anymore.
At the same time, he seemed to use his sword to hold up the two long swords that had been chopped over, shook open, slashed horizontally, and two human heads rose to the sky.
Withdrawing, he grabbed a spear that stabbed with his left hand, broke the head of the spear with a single force, and threw it out with his backhand, piercing the spearman's chest while castrating unabated, shooting the thigh of a guard behind him through a hole the size of a bowl, and suddenly a terrible howl resounded in the square.
His footsteps touched the ground, his body undulating like a galloping horse, and in an instant, he swept past the four guards who surrounded and outflanked him, and the sword body turned into a shock, and swept lightly over their throats.
The four guards clutched their throats and took their last breath.
One of the guards tried to launch a sneak attack from behind, but as soon as the sword was raised, a bright light flashed in front of him, and then a sharp pain struck, and the whole person was split in half from the middle.
Limbs and organs were scattered all over the ground, the smell of blood gradually spread, and the horrific scene made the surrounding people scream, scrambling to leave the killing battlefield.
On the other side, the battle continued, Sauron was like the most terrifying god of death, killing one step at a time, and the efficiency was even more terrifying, no less than dozens of people died under his sword in a short time, all of them were killed with one blow, and he walked towards the stage at such an unhurried speed.
Whether it was the Lannister family's guards or the civilians who rushed to his side in a panic, they were all slashed by him with his sword and without mercy.
The original team of twenty or thirty guards was lost in an instant, but the murderer did not drop a drop of blood, and there was not a single wound on his body.
"Ahh One of the guards finally couldn't take the atmosphere anymore, and threw down his weapon with a shout and was about to flee, only to see a flash of light, a long sword piercing through the back of his head, the tip of the sword sticking out of his mouth, and Sauron's arm lifted the man's body into the air and threw it out.
"Poof!" The corpse happened to fall beside Joffrey, and he screamed like a woman, and trembled like a poor chick.
"Protect the King!" Cersei hugged Joffrey into her arms like a cub and screamed.
The guards of the capital on the periphery also noticed the abnormality of this place and tried to rush over to protect the king, but unfortunately they were blocked by the fleeing civilians and could not rush for a while.
Sauron finally stepped onto the high platform, and in front of him were four white-robed men with swords.
"Stop, this is the place where the king executes the traitor." One of the white-robed leaders said in a deep voice.
"Four Kingsguards, how long can you hold me back?" Sauron flicked the blade of the sword, and because of the special technique used, this long sword that killed twenty or thirty people in a row was still shiny and shining, and there was no blood on it.
"We'll wait until we die!" Seeing that the negotiation could not be achieved, the two Royal Forest Guards roared and leapt into the air, the steel swords in their hands turning into two huge white arcs of light and slashing towards Sauron, not caring about their own protection at all.
"Bang dang!" The blades collided, and the powerful impact sent Zoro back three steps in a row, the first time he had retreated so far.
At this time, the other two Kingsguard attacked from the side, and the silver blade stabbed at his side like two poisonous snakes.
Raising his hand, the long sword stabbed straight out, obviously it seemed to be slow, like a mountain pressing on the sword's body, but in an instant, the long sword had already appeared on the opponent's offensive line, and the sound of the long sword clashing suddenly rang out.
In the eyes of onlookers, the four white knights pressed madly like a raging storm, and the owner of the steel sword, each of whom was the top master of the Seven Kingdoms, could not help the terrifying man on the other side at all.
Each of his counterattacks was faster than lightning and heavier than a mountain, as if his physical strength would never be exhausted, and he continued to hit their weapons.
The sword's trajectory was crystal clear in Sauron's eyes, and his superior intuition gave him an outstanding sense of battle, and he quickly held down the four Kingsguards.
The four white knights' breathing gradually became rapid, and the speed at which they regained their swords was not as steady as at the beginning.
Suddenly, one of the Kingsguards' counter-attacks slowed down the speed of the sword, revealing a gap.
"Opportunity." Sauron's eyes flashed, and his body slammed forward, his sword piercing straight through the air, and lightning stabbed out.
"Not good!" The other three Kingsguard were experienced in combat, and immediately changed their tactics to save people, but it was still too late, and the long sword plunged straight into the chest of one of the Kingsguards in an unstoppable manner.
This force was so great that the white knight's delicate armor could not stop it, and he directly broke his heart and died.
"Phew!" Blood splattered, and the corpse slammed to the ground with a dull thud. He was the first Kingsguard to die on the battlefield since the fall of the Targaryens.
The price paid for the murder was only a deep wound in the back, the work of Sir Marin Tran, the Kingguard, and Sauron dodged the swords of the other two but did not dodge his.
"He's wounded, kill him!" Sir Marin Tran was hoarse, his rock-rigid face revealing surprise for the first time.
The other two Kingsguard looked at each other, and together raised their swords and slashed at each other.
Zoro was not in a hurry, while the steel sword blocked the opponent's long sword, the whole person took advantage of the situation to bully the opponent's approach, and his right elbow tore through the air and blasted out.
"Bang!" A dull voice sounded, and one of the guards of the Imperial Forest flew out a few meters away without a sound, a piece of the breastplate was sunken in front of it, several ribs were broken, bone slag pierced into the internal organs, and he lay on the ground and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood with pieces of flesh.
And that wasn't the end of it, as Zoro leaped high at the same time, his toes slammed into the head of another Kingsguard like a meteor hammer, causing his head to twist three hundred and sixty degrees.
"Click" There was a creepy bone cracking sound, and the Royal Guard fell to the ground directly.
The Kingsguard was gone, and only Ser Ilyin was left dead because he was one step behind.
"I said leave your head for now, and now I'm here to get it." Zoro said lightly.
"If you want my life, let the horses go!" Sir Marin Tran raised his two-handed greatsword, the icy sword of Lord Eddard, freshly forged by ValΓ©ry, sharper than any razor.
Suddenly, a man slammed into his back, causing his body to stumble involuntarily.
This man is none other than Eddard Stark, as all eyes are drawn to Sauron, ignoring the former prime minister with a broken leg, but this "Icewolf" tells everyone with his actions that even if he is in pain and wants to die, he will not be taken lightly.
He slammed his feet and knocked his executioner, Ser Ealing, to the ground, and then dealt a heavy blow to the Kingsguard Ser Marin Tran from behind.
Of course, Zoro will not let go of such an opportunity, stepping forward, blocking, seizing the sword, and beheading in one go, easily killing the last Royal Guard on the field!
"Guards! Guardsman! The highly-anticipated Kingsguard could not stop the man, and Cersei cried out in horror, and the hound, who had been standing still, drew his sword and stood guard in front of Joffo.
Unfortunately, the nearest capital guard was still fifty paces away, and there was a dense crowd in between.
"Death to those who stand in the way!" The captain of the capital guard was in a hurry, drew his sword and slashed a civilian who was blocking the way, and led his men to frantically rush in the direction of the platform.
Zoro stuck the ice on the ground and half-knelt in front of Eddard, "Can you go by yourself?" β
Ed shook his head and asked him in a astringent voice, "Did you expect this day?" β
Zoro nodded slowly.
Ed showed an extremely ugly smile, took a deep breath, and said, "Arya, she ......"
"She's with me and it's safe." Sauron told him, paused and said, "I can only take one person with me." β
"Daddy!" Sansa ran off the stage, four Kingsguards were killed, and there was no one to guard her, so she ran off the stage and threw herself into Ed's arms while everyone was unprepared, convulsing, "Let's go home!" I'm not going to be a queen anymore! β
Joffrey's lies finally broke the last trace of luck in her heart, allowing her to see the true face of this vicious prince.
Ed patted his daughter on the shoulder lovingly and said softly, "Okay, let's go home." β
Then he pulled out the ice, handed it into Sauron's hands, and said, "I'll give 'her' to you, and take the girls away!" Promise me! Protect them from safety back to Winterfell! β
Zoro looked at him deeply, he already knew the other party's choice.
"No!" Sansa screams, begging the Knight of Sauron to take her father.
Offstage, the garrison of the capital city has already swarmed in, and it is about to form a siege.
"Let's go!" Ed roared like a wolf king about to die.
Sauron took the girl on his shoulders and rushed in the direction of King Joffrey!
The hound roared and fought with him, and although he took a few steps back, it temporarily stopped him in his tracks.
"Humph!" Zoro paused, knowing that he would not be able to clean up the other party before the capital garrison arrived, and he slowly scanned the crowd on the stage, greeted by faces that were extremely distorted by fear.
Without saying a word, he rushed to the side, and the hound secretly breathed a sigh of relief, deliberately avoiding the other party's breakthrough route.
He thinks that he is not this person's opponent, and there is a chance that he will die hard, and the only difference is how long it will take the other party.
As Sauron flashed past the crowd, his palm suddenly raised, and a silver light flashed, and the dagger flew over the head of Little Finger.
The little finger reached out and touched it, and his hands were covered with red blood, and then the sharp pain came slowly, and he suddenly let out a terrible scream.
"Collect some interest first, despicable betrayer." The voice came from afar, and Zoro slashed through the two people who were blocking the road with a single sword, and ran towards the distance at high speed.
The guards of the capital city had not yet been surrounded, and hundreds of people could not stop him, and he finally broke through and left.
The last thing Sansa saw was his father, Duke Eddard, picking up a steel sword from the ground, praying silently in front of the rushing capital guards, and then, with a roar of rage, cut off his own head.
But the body stood upright, and never fell.
Sansa fainted......
In the crowd of people in the audience, Arya's light blue eyes were filled with tears, blocking her vision, she took a deep look at her father's headless but standing body, wiped her eyes fiercely, and resolutely turned around.
She must keep her agreement with her teacher.
"Protect the King!"
On the high platform, the guards of the capital, who had finally arrived, surrounded Joffrey, and although "that man" had left, they were still on guard as if they were facing a great enemy, as if someone had suddenly appeared to assassinate the king.
Joffrey finally relented, and he pushed away his mother, Cersei, who had held him tightly into his arms, his handsome face contorted to the point of hideousness, and he screamed like crazy, "Bastard bastard bastard...... Get him! You bunch of shit, catch him for me! I'm going to cut off his head! No! No, no...... It's not so cheap, burn him! I'm going to burn him alive in front of everyone! β
Everyone was silent, and Joffrey's current image reminded them of another person, the last king of the Targaryen dynasty, Aerys II, known as the "Mad King".
Half an hour later, King's Landing's capital guards searched the city like mad hyenas, vowing to find the killer who had tried to assassinate the king.
However, as they chased after Sauron in an attempt to capture him, the city's flea nest ignited a raging fire, which was extremely difficult to extinguish through the "wildfire", and the filthy environment added countless flammable materials to the fire.
The fire engulfed almost half of King's Landing.
In the midst of the fire, countless people screamed for the burning home, and Sauron rode away from the Lion's Gate with the two girls and set out on the road back to Winterfell.
