Chapter 498

Oberyn unleashed a fire large enough to be seen all over the Western Front in this ancient and mysterious forest.

There was a raging fire, mixed with green flames, Oberyn had borrowed a few things from Viserys before he left King's Landing, and with the help of these few things, he was confident that he could conquer the entire Western Frontier.

The first was the fleet of the Iron Islands, led by Euron Greyjoy, who had taken refuge with Viserys.

Now that the Iron Islands have fallen, the Iron Fleet carried by Euron is the last iron species. Viserys allows Euron to return to the Iron Islands after this battle and rebuild his homeland.

The second is the wildfire hidden in King's Landing. As soon as the Golden Corps arrived in King's Landing, they found a large number of wildfires in many cellars. It is said that it was left by Viserys' father, "Mad King" Aerys II.

Although these wildfires were carried outside the city, they were of no use outside of King's Landing, and were very dangerous, so they were taken away by Oberyn and used in this battle.

Wildfires are very lively in nature and are first-class combustibles.

Targaryen soldiers only need to throw wildfire jars on the ground and smash them to burn after the army in the West has fled into the woods in a panic.

And the explosion of a can of wildfire will soon burn with the rest of the wildfire, plus this ancient and vast forest is all excellent fuel for combustion.

In an instant, a world-wide fire that could be seen in the entire western region was formed.

The smoke billowed straight into the sky, and the flames illuminated the sky overhead, as bright as day.

"what--"

The shrill screams of the soldiers in the west made people feel chills down their spines, like the sound of high-temperature fried food, and even gave off the smell of fat.

Oberyn wore a sand-yellow shirt with a dazzling golden gun emblem on his chest.

He rode his horse on a small hill not far away, his weather-beaten cheeks were illuminated by the firelight, and a pair of dark and deep eyes quietly overlooked the fire.

"Prince."

And the guard standing next to him couldn't even bear to look at it with his eyes, especially the terrifying picture of people dying in the sea of ​​​​fire, but only Oberyn was still hard-hearted.

"This fire burned half of the living force of the Western Army."

Sitting on the back of a horse, he said abruptly.

"More than 20,000 young lives, fathers, sons and brothers of more than 20,000 families."

"What will people in the West think of me? Or... how will they think of our Duke Tywin?"

Oberyn muttered to himself, and seemed to be asking the guards beside him, and then an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.

"Let's go."

Then he turned his horse's head and walked down the hill with the guard, he didn't want to look any further.

"Go away!"

Not far away, a tall knight in the west escaped from the sea of ​​fire. He panicked and slashed and killed several Lannister soldiers all the way because the other party blocked his way.

However, after he escaped from the fire, there were also Targaryen soldiers waiting for him. The mad knight was like a mad dog. Four or five people could not help, but after all, they were outnumbered and captured alive and tied up.

But this is only a small episode in the war.

The Targaryen army's attack on the battalion took place in the middle of the night, and the fire burned until the third night before it slowly came to an end in a heavy rain.

The fire devoured this ancient forest that recorded the battle between the ancestors and the children of the forest, and also devoured the fresh lives of more than 10,000 soldiers in the west.

Most of the soldiers and nobles of the West were buried in the sea of ​​fire, and some were captured by the Targaryen army, such as Sandor Clegane and others, but only a few soldiers and nobles escaped. birthday.

They fled to the Crane Hall in one breath, but Oberyn followed with a large army.

The Earl of the Crane Hall, Roland Kreich, and his eldest son were all buried in the sea of ​​​​fire.

Aegon's calendar year 293, August.

A world-renowned fire accompanied the fall of the Crane Hall, and the Targaryen army finally won the game against time and occupied the place first.

One of Oberyn's soldiers rushed to the top of the city and was canonized as a knight, while the belated Duke Tywin could only "watch the city and sigh" when he arrived at the city.

At the same time, he has also received the news that more than 20,000 western troops have been wiped out.

The 'Red Viper' was smart and cunning. He cheated and seduced the Lannister army to return. Then, like a best hunter, he waited for an opportunity and seized the opportunity to eat this army. It is said that Duke Tywin heard that When the news arrived, he almost didn't vomit blood on the spot.

And his cousin and brother-in-law, the rising general of Westeros, Ser Stevor Lannister, is either lucky or the Targaryen army deliberately released water, but it is under the desperate protection of the guards. Luckily escaped from the fire.

"Cousin, spare your life!"

Now Stefan knelt down in front of his cousin Tywin and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, but he couldn't impress Duke Tywin who was furious.

Tai Wen's face was sinking like water, and he looked at the relative in front of him coldly.

Even for the sake of his deceased wife, Tywin couldn't forgive Stevo, because many of the soldiers and nobles who died in the fire were relatives of the nobles around the West.

"I will take care of Dafeng."

Then Tywin waved his big hand, and the guards on both sides stepped forward and pushed the gray-faced Stavor down, and sent him to the gallows, leaving a whole body.

All of the many western nobles and knights on both sides of Tywin were silent, and the atmosphere was suppressed to the extreme. This tragic defeat greatly damaged the confidence of the western army to resist Targaryen.

And a young Lannister with blond hair and brown eyes has red eyes, he is the son of Stevo Lannister, Davon Lannister, but he can only watch his father being pushed to the gallows, Can't do anything.

News of Oberyn's burning of the Westerlands at the Battle of Red Lake soon reached King's Landing.

It was an epic battle destined to go down in history, and Oberyn led his army to lightning strike the Lannister army in two days.

When King's Landing received the good news, there was an immediate celebration, celebrating the victory of the Targaryen army in the war. After all, most of the people in King's Landing hated the Golden Lion family.

Tyrion had mixed feelings when he heard the news, and for Cersei it was like a thunderclap, and her last reliance collapsed.

But Viserys had no time to think about these things at the moment, not even the good news.

Because of the rush of time, in ten months of pregnancy, his queen, Princess Arianne of Dorne, was about to give birth.
