Chapter 490: The Death of Renly

puff--

The black-haired boy with the antler helmet on his head widened his eyes.

He watched helplessly as his brother stabbed the dagger into his chest, his face full of disbelief.

Then, along with Renly's rapid breathing, blood rushed up instantly, flowing from his nose, mouth, ears, and eyes.

"Brother, you."

At this moment, Renly felt as if his lungs had become a broken bellows, and it was extremely difficult to breathe, but he still had to breathe hard.

He stared at his brother, as if trying to say something, but the constant gushing of blood filled his windpipe, preventing him from saying anything.

"I told you, Renly."

"You are not my opponent."

Stannis, on the other hand, was covering his injured thigh with one hand, and his body was also dripping with blood, and he staggered and stood upright with difficulty.

He gasped slightly, then looked at his young younger brother and said, his eyes full of determination.

"This is the real battlefield!"

"It's not a fight with children, nor is it a battle of spears. Only those who persevere to the end can win. Don't let your guard down before twisting the enemy's neck."

Stannis gasped, his voice hoarse.

"Renly, you're too young to understand anything."

Stannis turned against the wind in a desperate situation, and suddenly killed Renly, a move that shocked everyone present.

All the nobles and guards present were stunned, as if they did not expect the young Duke of Storm's End, Renly Baratheon, to die here like this.

When Maester Cressen, an old minister of Storm's End, arrived in a hurry, he witnessed the scene where Stannis stabbed the dagger into Renly's chest.

"stop!"

He had just shouted but it was too late. Maester Cressen did not expect that Stannis had actually killed his own brother. The old maester barely fainted, he knew he had made a big mistake.

On the chaotic battlefield, Stannis suddenly rebelled and killed Renly, making the entire battlefield quiet in an instant, and then a gray-haired old earl yelled at Stannis.

"Stannis! What are you doing!"

"You killed your own brother?!"

The kinslayer will become a lifelong stain on the honor, violating the dogma of the Seven Gods and being tolerated by the world, Stannis's actions are indeed shocking.

Stannis ignored him, holding Renly's body, which had gradually lost its temperature, and slowly lowered him to the ground.

Stannis looked at his brother's cheek with a pair of eyes, then raised his hand to help Renly close his eyes, and then raised his head to look at the old man who had just spoken, and said in a low voice.

"Old Earl Ismond, Renly wants to kill me, why can't I kill him?"

"You are talking nonsense! Renly has already shown mercy to you!"

Earl Ismond's gray beard trembled, still scolding.

"Lord Earl Ismond!"

At this moment, Stannis suddenly raised his voice, interrupted the other party's words, looked at the Earl of Greenstone Castle with bright eyes, and then said loudly.

"Renly colluded with Viserys in private, and he wanted to kill me, and all the lords present, and then sacrifice the Stormlands."

Stannis's eyes looked around, all the guards and nobles who were touched by his eyes lowered their heads involuntarily, and then Stannis's eyes fell on Earl Elton Ismond again.

"I saw Ser Aemon on the battlefields of Riverrun."

Stannis's words completely deflated the gray-haired old earl, like a deflated ball.

Aemon Ismond was Elton's son and heir to Greenstone, but he was killed in the battle of Riverrun.

He wanted to be a hero and single-handedly killed Viserys, but was easily counter-killed by Viserys.

Because of this hatred alone, Elton could not surrender to Viserys, and Renly colluded with Viserys and stabbed the pain in the old earl's heart.

"Hmph, even so, I won't take refuge in the kinslayer!"

Elton Ismond, wearing blood-stained armor, strode out with a long sword in hand, and the guard who had joined Stannis wanted to stop him, but was frightened by Elton's stare. .

"What? 'Kinister', you dare not let me go?"

And Stannis looked at the back of Elton leaving, his face was slightly blue, but he didn't dare to stop him, he could only clench his fist tightly.

After all, there are still a lot of nobles present, and each of them carries a lot of guards. If Stannis kills Elton, it will inevitably lead to an uncontrollable ending.

However, after Stannis killed Renly, he actively wooed the nobles of the rest of the Stormlands, but the effect was not satisfactory. Many nobles who witnessed Stannis killing Renly could not accept it, and even secretly called him a 'kinslayer' '.

"Gods, old and new, will curse the kinslayer forever!"

Stannis led the Duke of Storm's End by himself, the position of the monarch of Stormland, but no one was there to support him. That night, most of the nobles in Storm's End left and took their respective armies, leaving only a few left. A knight who followed Stannis with all his might.

And Storm's End Fort is not far from King's Landing. A road passes through the Royal Forest and leads directly to King's Landing. What happened in Storm's End Fort is also quickly spread to King's Landing.

Viserys just presided over a trial and sentenced a nobleman who kidnapped a young girl to death. He was beheaded in the morning, and the family wanted to defect in the afternoon, but Jinpao caught them and threw them all into the prison.

At this moment in the evening, he was looking through the latest information in the study in the Red Fort.

The freshest information provided by the Minister of Intelligence Varys, at this moment, the eunuch known as the 'Eight-claw Spider' is standing in front of Viserys respectfully.

Viserys used to be a little wary of this man, but now he can trust him with confidence.

Because he has tampered with Varys' memory, although he can't see what happened, Viserys has added loyalty to Varys's memory, and it is impossible for the octopus to betray him, at least for a while.

"The army of Dorne broke through Nightsong City and besieged the High Court. The Tyrell family asked the Hightower family for help. The army of the Southern Lighthouse was already on its way to the High Court."

"Oberron's army has arrived at Red Lake and confronted the Lannister family's army. A small-scale conflict broke out. The outcome and details of the battle between the two sides are unknown."

"The brothers of the Baratheon family in Storm's End had an infighting. Stannis killed Renly himself and made himself the Duke of Storm's End, but he was not recognized by the nobles of Stormland."

At this moment, Viserys saw the next piece of information, with a strange expression on his face.

"Is this news from the valley?"
