Chapter 544

"Ho-"

The roar of the black dragon resounded through the heavens and the earth, whistling its wings and flying into the distance.

And Viserys held on to the white marble stone fence, watching the Dothraki army and Balerion go away, a pair of lavender eyes that seemed to have seen part of what was about to happen.

A breeze gently blew his face, and the young man's long silver-gold hair fluttered slightly.

Then he opened the palm he held, and the shredded letter paper in his palm flew away with the wind, and was carried away by the wind.

In the Dothraki army this time, the target of the expedition pointed to.

old town.

Today, the largest and oldest city in Westeros is in a state of panic, and the results of the Battle of Star Shuttle City have come with the ravens and merchants.

The Dothraki slaughtered tens of thousands of Reach soldiers in Starburst.

The blood of the soldiers in the Reach has stained the land, and the stench can be smelled from dozens of miles away. Area.

And now this frightening group of prairie cavalry is marching in the direction of the old town, which naturally makes the people living in the old town panic, as if the end of the world is coming.

The location of the old town is located in the southwest corner of the Reach, where the Mead River flows into the mouth of Whispering Bay and the Sunset Sea, and is also the southernmost point of the Rose Avenue connecting High Court and King's Landing.

This is the most important port in Westeros. There is no one, even more than King's Landing. The population is not much, but it is not as dense as King's Landing.

The old town is also the trading center of the seven countries' maritime and land routes. Ships from all over the world gather here, and the shipping routes are all over Westeros, the Midsummer Islands, the free trade city-states, and even Pantos and Andalos.

However, the cloud of war is now looming over this great city, and naturally it has also affected the development of local commerce.

In the past, the bustling Sailors' Sanctuary, the Seven Shrines, the port, and even the temples of the foreign gods, etc., suddenly became much deserted.

The merchant's fleet took their goods and left the old town, and the people of the old town who had the conditions also took the ticket and left here by boat.

As for those who didn't leave, most of them had no money, couldn't afford to pay the exorbitant ferry tickets, or thought that the matter was not a big deal, the homeland was hard to leave, and there were lunatics who wanted to find opportunities in the war.

And the people of the old town are all in a panic, the voice of the old town, the lord of the harbor, the earl of the towering tower, the guardian of the school city, and the earl of Leighton Hightower of the lighthouse in the south are naturally more anxious.

The Hightower family has always prided itself on being a beacon leading the progress of mankind. Their family emblem is a stair-like white tower with a smoke-ash background and beacon fires burning at the top. The family motto is "lighting the future".

However, if it wasn't for Visery's 'Sword of Change', and with the attitude that the Hightower family has always stayed out of the way, they should not have participated in this war, and even surrendered to Visery long ago. Reese.

But the power of the Sword of Change was so great that it made the tower lord Count Leighton Hightower hesitate, plus Mace Tyrell was his son-in-law, so he hesitated to send troops to fight .

However, in the subsequent battle, the soldiers of the Hightower family were defeated, and only a few remaining soldiers escaped, and the garrison of the old town shrunk severely.

For the next battle, the Hightower family took out a large number of golden dragons, urgently recruited a large number of mercenaries and wandering knights, and captured many strong men to fill up their numbers, but the combat power is naturally conceivable.

Even the people of Oldtown could not trust their army, believing that such a makeshift army was powerless to resist the barbarian attack, and even complained why House Hightower had not bowed to Viserys until now.

But this is actually wronged the guardian of the old town, Earl Leighton Hightower.

Since he received the results of the Battle of Star Shuttle City, he did not hesitate to surrender to the new conqueror.

However, he did not expect that the letter of surrender he sent did not receive any response, as if the stone was sinking into the sea.

Earl Layton Hightower even thought that his raven was taken away by an eagle.

So the old town old man once again sent two letters of surrender, and even invited the king to visit the Starry Sanctuary in the old town to recreate the story of Aegon's coronation.

However, the last two letters of surrender were also in vain, and no response was received, only the news that the Dothraki army and the Dornish army after recuperation were coming to the old town.

This time, the Hightower family completely gave up their last hope and began to recruit troops, preparing to fight the Targaryen army to the death.

Aegon's calendar year 294, the second year of the new calendar.

The hurried Hightower family fought against the Dothraki army in the Hive City, and Ser Baelor Hightower, the eldest son and heir of Earl Layton Hightower, took the command himself, and even invited Mora, the doctor of war science from the academy. Assisted by S.

The Doctor of Warfare is very knowledgeable about warfare. Although the army in the old town was recruited in a hurry and received simple training, it was still well-disciplined.

However, it was decided by the Dothraki army in one battle.

When the 'Black Death' Balerion appeared from above the clouds, both Old Town army commanders Baelor Hightower and Dr. Morath had expressions of despair on their faces.

The dragon's flames destroyed the formation of the Haitar family's army and defeated the soldiers' fighting spirit to resist. Coupled with the impact of the steppe cavalry, the army's heart disintegrated in an instant, and the army was defeated. It became a lamb to be slaughtered. The sergeant and Dr. Morath of the Citadel were burned to death on the spot by the dragon's breath.

According to legend, the river that could flow with wine and honey now flows with the blood of the Hightower soldiers.

The blood stained the Mead River, and the news of the defeat had not yet come. The soldiers' bodies were densely covered on the river, and they quickly came to the old town along the river.

The people and nobles in the old town were even more panicked, and they all asked to leave the old town by boat.

However, Lord Leighton Hightower, known as the Voice of the Old Town, Lord of the Harbor, Earl of the Tower, Guardian of the Academy, and Earl of the Lighthouse of the South, heard the tragic news and witnessed the blood-stained honey Jiuhe refused to leave as if he had lost his mind.

He led his eldest daughter, Moroya Hightower, nicknamed 'Mad Girl', to the top of the towering tower, comprehend ancient magic books, and tried to find a way to defeat the Dothraki army. Dead Viserys and his dragon.

However, it has not waited until he found the right way.

The Dothraki army defeated Oldtown on the Mead River before the army could reach Oldtown.

The Dorn army came here first, and the troops approached the city.
