"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The gates of the Red Fort are lost! Monsters are in! ”

The messenger stumbled into the throne room, and the panicked voice made every nobleman's face turn pale in an instant.

"Lord Sterling, please send troops to help!"

"Where did I get reinforcements?" Queen Cersei sat lazily in her chair, her voice indifferent, as if it was none of her business.

"What about Caesar? Didn't he have an army of more than 100,000? A noble lady asked.

"They're still fighting outside the city, there are too many monsters, we can't contact them at all, and we don't know what's going on outside......"

"Close the Megga Tower and ascend the suspension bridge." Cersei calmly ordered.

As the centerpiece of the Red Keep, Megar Tower is a castle within a castle, guarded by a separate wall and a dry moat covered with iron thorns.

Of course, no one knows how long such a castle can hold out in the face of endless ghouls.

The messenger asked, "What about the defenders outside......

"What can they do?" Cersei asked rhetorically, "Of course, to fulfill your oath and fight to the death." ”

"Your Majesty," another questioned, "but there are still many distinguished lords and ladies who have gone to the temple to pray, and what will they do if the Maegar Tower is closed?" ”

"The gods will protect them." Cersei said lightly, "Close the door!" ”

"Can't be turned off!" A valley woman blushed, pointed at Cersei and said angrily, "You are no longer the Queen Mother of the Seven Kingdoms, what qualifications do you have to give orders!" ”

It was like stabbing a hornet's nest with these words, and suddenly one after another the old men and ladies of the north vented their fears and anger in their hearts, cursing, roaring, and crying, as if the Lannisters were the source of this disaster.

Cersei was surprisingly calm in the face of such accusations and criticism.

"Good, good, good." She suddenly laughed, "Caesar hasn't entered the Red Keep yet, so you can't wait." Okay, I don't care. ”

With that, she flicked her long sleeves and strode out of the throne hall.

The hall was even more chaotic.

Some ran out, some prayed, some wept helplessly, and some begged the waiter for more wine to drink before they died......

Sansa Stark watched this scene with a surprisingly lack of fear in her heart.

"Don't be afraid!" She stood up and exclaimed, "This is a test given to us by the gods, and we should face it bravely!" ”

Sansa felt that she spoke like her father:

"The warriors of the Seven Kingdoms are still fighting monsters to the death outside, the battle continues, they fight bravely, and we can't give up hope. Everyone, let us pray to the gods for them! ”

"Let's pray!" People responded.

Order had finally returned to the throne room, but Sansa could still smell fear and despair.

After the prayer, the crying began again.

Sansa asks the waiter to bring more wine and walks out of the hall herself.

The sound of the fierce fighting and the thick smell of blood almost made her unsteady on her feet.

Sansa now only wants to know where her sister Arya has gone, and she asks the guard next to her, but the guard shakes his head and says he doesn't know.

She had to find it herself.

As soon as she reached the stairs, she was hit by a soldier.

Jingle Bell –

Jeweled wine glasses and a pair of silver candlesticks fell out of the soldier's arms and rolled down the stairs.

When he was sure that Sansa was not stealing the loot from him, he ignored her and hurried to collect his treasure.

Sansa didn't dare to stop her, and kept going.

The sky was dark, but there seemed to be a faint light in the east.

Is the storm finally coming to an end?

Sansa prayed to herself.

At this moment, a rough voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"Stark girl, are you lost?"

Sansa was startled, and turned back to see a white-robed knight covered in blood sitting in the corner, his face as black as asphalt, and his eyes glinting with a pale red.

"Sir Sandor ......"

"Sir bullshit!" Sandor Clegane spat out thick phlegm, "I'm not a knight!" I'm a hound! ”

"But you are dressed in a white robe...... Sansa knew that the loyal Lannister Hound had been canonized as a White Knight by King Tommen, and was now a member of the Kingsguard.

"So what." Sandor laughed, "Knights are all rubbish! I kill knights! ”

Sansa forced herself to compose:

"You're supposed to kill the monsters out there......"

"I can't finish killing monsters." Sandor said dejectedly, "This city is finished. Little wolf girl, if you still want to live, come with me, I can escort you away. ”

The coagulated blood covered the most horrific scars on Sandor's face, but the corners of his mouth twitched.

Sansa could smell the fear he was exuding:

"You're scared."

"Fart!" Sandor suddenly became excited, "I'm going to be afraid?" ”

"If you want to escape, you can run by yourself." Sansa said, "I'm not leaving. ”

"You're going to die." Sandor stood up suddenly, and the tall figure completely enveloped the girl, "Follow me!" I'll protect you! I swear! ”

"You're not even a knight, how can I believe your oath."

Thornton was stunned by this.

But the next moment, he became furious and grabbed the girl's hand violently.

Sansa only felt that her right hand was about to be broken by the other party.

The other party was too strong, and she knew that she could not resist, so she could only close her eyes and pray that everything would pass quickly.

But the next moment, Sandor suddenly let go of the girl and sat back in the corner.

Sansa opened her eyes, only to see Sandor burying her head between her arms, motionless, as if she had become a sculpture.

"Sing me a song." He said suddenly.

Sansa wanted to refuse, but she still agreed to the down-and-out white knight's request:

"Our Lady of Tenderness, source of mercy, bless your son through the battle.

Stop the arrows, resist the sword, and let them see a better tomorrow......"

The light singing echoed in the dimly lit corridor, as if to drown out the fierce fighting outside.

After a long time, the light suddenly tore through the heavy black curtain and sprinkled beams of light towards the castle.

The storm also stopped.

The bells of the Red Keep rang one after the other, as did the bells of the Great Basil of Baylor, and the bells of King's Landing rang in unison.

This reminds Sansa of the bell when Robert Baratheon died, but this time it was different.

This is not a mournful death knell, but a triumphant movement.

She heard cheers from outside.

"Victory! We've won! ”

Sansa heard shouts coming from the walls of the Red Keep.

She leaned against the railing and looked into the distance, and although the ghouls had not yet been completely cleared, they had been swept away and flooded by the torrent of human armies.

She saw countless waving flags pouring towards the Red Keep from all directions, the Golden Roses of House Tyrell, the Walking Hunters of House Tully, and the Oak Leaves of House Oakhet...... And, of course, the double-headed eagles of House Caesar!

The steel forest composed of countless swords, guns, swords, and halberds is stepping through the sea of corpses and blood, and surging up the high hills of Aegon!

"We are saved!" Sansa cheered, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Roar—"

She heard a dragon groan, and when she looked up, she saw the white dragon piercing through the clouds and hovering over the Red Keep.

"Caesar! Caesar's dragon is coming! We are saved! ”

Sansa turned back and shared her joy with the white knight in the corner.

Sandor looked up, but there was no surprise on his face for the rest of his life.

"Really, little wolf girl? Do you think you're saved? ”

Sansa was stunned for a moment, and just as she wanted to speak, she heard Sandor say again:

"Do you know what's in the basement of the Meggor Building?"

"What's there?"

"Wildfire." Sandor tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a sinister smile, "Cersei is filling the wildfire underneath, she's going to burn down Megar." ”
