The fearless Barristan Sermi had a dream lover, and it was this lover who made him break off the love of other women, become the Guardian of the Forest, and never get close to any woman again for the rest of his life.

The woman's name was Ashara Dane.

Ashara Dane is tall, with dark hair, fair skin, and an unforgettable pair of purple eyes. She is recognized for her beauty, and at the Harrenhal tournament before the Usurper War, two girls were recognized for their beauty, one was Lyanna Stark, who fell in love with Rhaegar Targaryen and eventually lost her life and the kingdom, and the other was Ashara Dane.

At that tournament, there were many heroes and beautiful women, and at that time, Cersei Lannister of the Westside was also one of the many beautiful women.

At the Harrenhal Tournament, Barristan Semi met his long-cherished Ashara Dane again. Eddard Stark, who was present at the time, also had a crush on Ashara Dane.

Between Barristan and Eddard's courtesy, Ashara Dane chooses Eddard Stark and dances with him. It is said that Ed and Ashara had a secret date afterwards and impregnated her. And this rumored incident became one of the reasons that led to the suicide of Ashara Dane.

And Barristan Selmy was also insulated from any woman because of the suicide of Ashara Dane, and achieved his reputation for integrity, strength, purity and immaculate for more than ten years.

Ashara Dayne has an older brother known as the Seven Kingdoms: Arthur Dayne, the Dawn Excalibur.

Sir Arthur Dayne, known as the Dawn Excalibur, takes its name from the greatsword he wields, the Dawn, a two-handed greatsword forged from meteoric iron, which Arthur usually carries on his back.

When Eddard Stark ended the Battle of Elysium and sent Arthur's Dawn greatsword to Starfall to be handed over to Ashara Dayne, Ashara Dayne chose to jump from Starfall's White Stone Sword Tower. Afterwards, Eddard Stark learns that Ashara has just given birth to a baby girl, and it is a dead baby. It is rumored that Ashara's baby girl is Eddard Stark's, but Eddard knows that the girl is not his, although the woman Eddard loves deeply has always been Ashara, but when the war broke out, he married Catelyn in order to get the support of Riverland.

Eddard, who sent the Dawn greatsword to Starfall, didn't know that Ashara was in postpartum depression.

After learning that her brother Arthur had been killed in the battle at the Tower of Elysium, Ashara dropped her family greatsword Dawn and jumped off the White Stone Tower.

This incident also made Eddard Stark more reticent and indifferent for the next ten years, making him intimidating from the outside.

Ashara's death also broke Barristan Selmy's heart, and he no longer had any close contact with any woman, and his heart deeply concealed Ashara's shadow.

As for the Dane family, Barristan Selmy has always had a relationship that transcends his family: Ashara is the lover he cannot get in his life, and Ashara's brother Dawn Excalibur is the true great Kingsguard he respects most in his life.

With Arthur's death and Ashara's suicide, the Dane family in Starfall City entered the road of decline, and when Will ordered Mance Rader to lead tens of thousands of troops from the north to the south to sweep away Dorne, at least two people were very touched by it, one was Barristan Selmy, and the other was Jaime Lannister.

Because Starfall is in the territory of Dorne.

Sweep away Dorne, and then Starfall City will inevitably be lost.

As a legend of a generation, Dane has always been highly admired, not only because of his martial arts, but also because of his kindness, integrity and nobility.

When Mance Red's army marched south, openly proclaiming to slaughter Martell in Dorne and wipe out the always independent Martell family from Dorne, two teams had secretly arrived in Dorne by water, one led by Mance Rader and Shanna the Elder of Skaggs, and one led by Prime Minister Will and Jaime Lannister.

The advance force of these two teams was not large, and the number of soldiers under their command did not exceed twenty. Two navies were then followed by each.

Mance Rader's team traveled through the Narrow Sea, targeting Slaftown, the trading capital of Dorne to the east, while Will and Jaime Lannister traveled through the Sunset Sea, aiming for Starfall on the edge of a cliff in the sea.

There is a world-famous two-handed greatsword in Starfall City, forged from meteoric iron, which is none other than Arthur Dayne's greatsword 'Dawn'. The blade is said to be forged from the heart of a fallen star, and is as powerful as a Valyrian steel weapon. The family title "Dawn Excalibur" is only awarded to knights who are deemed qualified to wield the family heirloom sword "Dawn".

"Dawn" was personally sent to Starfall by Eddard Stark sixteen years ago, and has been kept in Starfall City for sixteen years, waiting for the rise of a new generation of "Dawn Excalibur", and the ultimate war will soon sweep through Dorne, Jaime Lannister hopes to save the Dane family lineage and keep "Dawn" from being lost in the war.

The Lannisters also had a clan sword: Whistling

The Lannisters' roar, like many of Westerowang's Valyrian steel weapons, is a story of their family's history. King Kaiyan spent a century before the apocalyptic devastation in Valyria for a lot of gold in exchange for Shimmer. The weight of gold used to buy a greatsword is enough to organize a large army.

This Howl had decapitated the King of the Iron Isles and his heir with a single blow.

More than a hundred years later, Tommen II led a golden fleet to explore Valyria, devastated by the apocalypse, where he believed there were still treasures and mysteries. However, Tomman II and his fleet were gone, and Howling was lost.

Jaime's youngest uncle, Jillian Lannister, set sail in 291 Aegon in search of the family heirloom sword, never returned.

For a peerless sword, its preciousness is a priceless treasure in the hearts of master swordsmen.

Although Will has recreated the legend of the Valyrian steel sword, this light whistle is forged by the heart of meteoric iron, and it is unique among all the famous swords in the world.

"Will you, have you ever been to Starfall City?" Jaime's lazy tone and demeanor in the night sky.

The two men rode on the body of a giant griffon, as smooth as if they were on the ground.

Blaze and Aquamarine are even more huge, already the size of an adult, and their attack power and size have reached their peak.

"Never came. Will said lightly.

"I came once, and I wasn't even fifteen years old. ”

"Pilgrimage here?"

"Yes, I admired Sir Arthur more than my father at that time. ”

"And now?"

"Now I don't want to compare my father to Sir Arthur. Sir Arthur never killed innocents in his life, and my father could kill anyone to achieve his goals. ”

"Sir Arthur must have killed innocents. Will said lightly.

"Why do you say that?"

"The Mad King told him to kill people, and he would do it. ”

"It was forced by mission, and it was forced to do so. If he had a choice, I believe he would never kill innocents. ”

"Even if Arthur kills innocent, his credit can make up for his mistakes. I know that he exterminated many unconquerable bandits and pirates for the sake of his people. ”

"Yes!"

"Shall we go down like this?" Will looked at Starfall City below.

"I'd like to stay a little longer. Jaime looked at Starfall below.

Starfall City has produced many famous generals and swordsmen, generation after generation, and the Seven Kingdoms of Megatron are a spiritual territory of Dorne. And Jaime and Will have descended from the sky and will burn Starfall to the ground tonight.

If the Dornish are to change the dynasty, these spiritual leader buildings and family forts will be destroyed.

It was Mance Raid's plan, and Will agreed.

When Jaime Lannister learns about Mance and Will's true plans, he feels that he doesn't know much about Lord Will, so he has a question in his mind.

"Lord Will, if you were Aerys and I was Arthur, would you order me to kill innocents?"

"No, it won't. I won't let you kill innocents, I'll make you have to kill innocents. ”

"Like tonight?"

"If Dane's people don't resist, they don't have to kill anyone. ”

"Got it!"

"Then go down!"

"Good!"

From the north, the Savage King Mance Rader led an army of savages outside the Great Wall of Desperation to attack Dorne, and sent a message to the Martel family of Dorne to surrender early, which was naturally rejected by the Martell family. As a result, the army of the savage king Mance Rader marched south to Dorne.

The people of Mance Rader have not yet arrived in Dorne, and the two sides have not yet been at war, but all kinds of strange and evil rumors about Mance Rader and the wild people have gone viral in Dorne, and all kinds of rumors are rife about how the wild people are extremely evil.

Martell and his nobles naturally didn't believe in any of these terrible legends about the savage army, but they couldn't stop their people from spreading the word about it.

There are only two ways to enter Dorne's realm from land, one is the Bone Road and the other is the Prince's Pass.

The Bone Road is the only official route connecting Dorne to the Stormlands. "Bone Road" is a more popular saying, and the official name of this road is "Stone Road".

The Dorne side of the bone road is guarded by the Hellenwood Fortress, the home of the Ellenwood family.

The Prince's Pass is the only official road from Riverlands to Dorne through the Crimson Mountains. The Tower of Bliss where Eddard Stark killed Arthur Dayne is located at the Prince's Pass, and it is a circular stone tower. Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark once spent time together in the Tower of Elysium, and their 'elopement' eventually began with the tragedy of the two families and ended with the change of dynasty.

Mance Red's army went all the way south in a high-profile manner, approaching Dorne, all of them came from the army, the savage army has no water army, and is not good at water warfare, and Mance Red boasted before that he wanted to truly conquer Dorne, changing the history of thousands of years that Dorne was never conquered by foreign tribes and could only rely on marriage and alliance, and the bloodline of the Martell family who killed Dorne became the slogan of Mance Rader all the way to propaganda.

In view of the overwhelming force of the army, Prince Doro Martell gathered his vassals and led the army to gather in the dangerous places of the two mountain roads. Although the two only mountain roads into Dorne are official roads, they have been repaired by the Targaryen royal family many times, but because they have to cross hundreds of miles of red mountains, the two mountain roads are more steep, and the Dorne people are good at climbing mountains and wading through waters, so they arranged their troops early to firmly guard the dangerous places of the two mountain roads, only waiting for the enemy to appear and fall into the encirclement, and break out of the mountains before and after, and strangle all the enemies.

During the Targaryen dynasty, Aegon the Conqueror possessed a dragon, and it took more than ten years to conquer Dorne. Generations of Targaryen kings personally led troops into Dorne, and for many years they strangled the Martell family and their nobles in Dorne, but all failed. And this time, in view of the arrogant tone of the Savage King, he wanted to wipe out the Martell family and its nobles, which aroused the anger of Prince Daolang and Oberon the Red Viper, and the two brothers gathered their vassals to discuss the result of the destruction of Mance Red's wild army in the Crimson Mountains for hundreds of miles, and completely denied them the opportunity to enter the territory of Dorne.

So, all the noble forces in Dorne, the fierce generals, the brave centurion, the red viper Oberon, his mistress Elalia Shad, his eight Shad daughters, the prince's martial princess Arrene Martell, the prince Tristan Martell, and others gathered in the Crimson Mountains, nervously preparing all kinds of rolling stones, trenches, poisonous arrows, giant trees, etc., waiting to bury all the enemies who dared to attack.

And all the cities in Dorne are empty.

For example, Dorne's capital Halberd City, such as the more empty waterway trading city of Slatty Town, such as the westernmost Starfall City, when the teenage boy Count Edric Dayne led all the three hundred warriors of Starfall City to rush to the Prince's Pass, the cliff city of Starfall standing high on the seaside, only the old, weak, sick and disabled and the servants who raised horses and swept the floor and cooked.

When Will and Jaime jumped off the griffon's back, walked into the main castle as if walking, and swaggered over to open the castle gates, the only reaction of the servants and several elderly guards was to be stunned.

Will walked into the main castle of Starfall City, it was very easy, it was no different from his own home, several old women could only tremble when they saw him, they were really powerless.

And after Jaime swaggered over and opened the gate of the main castle, Arya, the sharpshooter Angay, and more than a dozen gray-clad swordsmen who blinded their faces—they were all men and women, all dressed in the same way, and their faces were very close, each with a Valyrian narrow sword, and these people entered Starfall City as if they had entered their own home.

The door was re-closed and locked. All of them were gathered in the castle's school grounds, guarded by Arya, the archer Angay, and a dozen swordsmen.

Jaime arrived at the main castle hall, and as soon as he entered, he saw portraits of the Dawn Excalibur, the last of which was that of his idol Arthur Dayne.

Underneath these portraits, there is a god case in the center, where a unique giant sword is placed - Howling Light!
