A Western fantasy journey that began with Game of Thrones [Latest Chapters]

No one can know the conversation in the palace of the Sea King of Braavos, but it is destined to have far-reaching impact.

Even though there is already a clue of the result, the decision made far away on another land cannot be immediately fed back to the battlefield in Westeros. At least, in the next month, the situation in Seafront City is not much different from before.

The siege continues, and the morale of the enemy is always low. However, under the pressure of numbers, the Ironmen can only be trapped in the castle. The most effective guerrilla tactics cannot be implemented. They can only defend the city unwillingly, occasionally hoping that the son of the Drowned God can make another move, but there is no movement.

But in fact, not all the Ironmen are trapped in the castle. Before being besieged, a large part of the Ironmen were still active in the Sancha River. Now this army is wandering around the river, constantly cooperating with friendly forces to fight guerrilla warfare.

Not to mention the number of casualties, it has caused a lot of trouble to the enemy.

The Riverlands are large, but the Sancha River, which the Ironmen rely on, happens to run through the Riverlands. At the same time, the river is wide and deep. Even if large warships in the sea cannot sail, ordinary ships can sail.

However, the enemy did not expect that the Riverlands would have such a geographical environment, or rather, they knew the geography of the Riverlands, but they did not expect the Ironmen to suddenly send troops, nor did they expect that they would so easily occupy the Sea Border City and launch such a strange way of fighting, so that they were very troubled by this.

Even the overall situation that was originally fought back and forth has become passive everywhere due to the continuous harassment of the Ironmen.

This situation also exacerbated the birth of a certain result, which lasted until the middle of the 295th year of the Conquest Calendar, when some obvious changes finally appeared.

First, most of the troops besieging the Sea Border City withdrew, seemingly to support other places, so the soldiers in the castle took the opportunity to counterattack and broke the siege in one fell swoop.

Secondly, the Valley Cavalry that betrayed the Iron Throne withdrew from the battlefield in large numbers, retreated to the Valley and was no longer active.

Soon after, the enemies on the battlefields in the riverlands evacuated one after another and rushed towards the east coast. The reason for the evacuation also reached Renly’s ears-

The Targaryen army’s sea supply line was interrupted!

The war lasted for nearly a year, and most of the supplies the enemy relied on came from the nine free trade cities across the ocean, followed by local plunder.

Because the enemy fleet was large, and the strongest Qingting Island fleet on the Westeros side was tied up in the South China Sea, it was difficult for the royal fleet led by Stannis to effectively attack the enemy, so the enemy’s supply had never been interrupted, and there was no sign of interruption.

As a result, the impossible became a reality. When Renly heard this information, he felt very strange. Later, he heard that it seemed that Stannis contacted the pirates of the Stone Islands to act together, and there was a traitor among the enemy who reported the news, and took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

How could the war go on without supplies?

So the overall situation changed dramatically.

Unable to break through the blockade of the riverlands and repeatedly frustrated, the enemy’s morale was not high. Due to the lack of supplies, they finally fell apart. After fighting on their own, they retreated in the direction they came from, ready to completely abandon this large-scale invasion.

However, their evacuation was not smooth. The Iron Throne army pursued them and killed countless enemies. The royal fleet led by Stannis and the pirate fleet he hired also launched blockades on the sea, making the situation even more difficult for the enemies who were already lacking ships due to the destruction of the supply line.

It is said that the Vale people who retreated to their nests suddenly intervened, which surprised many people.

Later, Renly heard that this Vale army was not the same group as the one who betrayed Baratheon before. The reason for this situation was that when the Vale lords gathered together for a meeting, they were besieged by the Golden Group that landed from the sea, resulting in no way to stop the rebels from attacking without a leader, and no message could be passed on, so they could only let the Vale traitors collude with Targaryen.

Now that the enemy has retreated in large numbers, the Golden Group can no longer stay where they are, so they naturally regain control of the Vale.

That’s what the intelligence says, and the people of the Vale also claim. It’s hard to say whether it’s true or not, but Renly believes that this matter will become true even if it’s not true. After all, his cheap brother would not risk offending all the lords of the Vale to ask for punishment, let alone the ability to destroy the Vale in one fell swoop.

At most, there will be more scapegoats afterwards.

In short, after the enemy’s maritime supply was interrupted, everything that was still deadlocked basically disappeared, and the Riverlands, which had been in war for nearly a year, finally ushered in the arrival of peace.

But looking around, the environment that was beaten into a thousand holes is not happy.

According to preliminary calculations, the number of ordinary civilians who died in this war may not be less than 200,000.

Looking at the seven kingdoms, the Riverlands is considered a relatively wealthy area. However, there is no good place here now. Dead bodies are everywhere and blood is flowing like a river. The plague has also caused an outbreak in this disaster-stricken area.

Fortunately, due to the war, the Riverlands have been deserted, and the plague has not caused too much trouble, but it has also had a serious impact on the few people hiding in their homes.

In this situation, an organization called the Holy Light Knights gradually emerged. The organization aims to rescue and escort refugees, and also plays an important role in the governance and isolation of the plague.

What surprised many people was that many members of the organization had supernatural powers. They could make all kinds of objects glow, including weapons, clothes, food, and even all parts of their bodies…

This light could illuminate the way, which was particularly useful when traveling at night. It also seemed to have a slight healing effect, which was very magical. As a result, the reputation of the Holy Light Knights in the Hejian area rose rapidly, and everyone knew about it.

The monks spread the news that the Holy Light Knights were founded by saints sent by the gods in the sky to see the suffering of the world. People firmly believed in this, so they became more devout in their faith in the gods, and there was an endless stream of donations to the Knights.

Under the guidance of the Seven Gods Church, nobles or wealthy businessmen in areas of the Seven Kingdoms that were not affected by the war also donated a lot of money to the organization to contribute to the relief of this cruel war disaster –

Of course, they hoped that their dedication would be known by the gods in the sky, so that they might go to heaven after death – that’s what the monks spread.

In short, the war attracted everyone’s attention when it lasted, and the ending after the war was even more eye-catching and made some people eager to make a move, but all this had nothing to do with Renly for the time being.

After the siege of Seagate faded, he was originally planning to take a rest and then return to King’s Landing to deal with some things.

But before he returned, a letter from King’s Landing forced Renly to shift his target and look to the North.

The letter claimed that Robert’s good brother, the Duke of the North, Eddard Stark, was ambushed by the enemy and was now unconscious and his life was seriously threatened.
