Chapter 528 The Death of Stannis

The bright moon hangs high tonight, and the cold moonlight shines on the windowsill.

The remnants of the defeated soldiers on the front line returned, causing a brief commotion in Storm's End, and then everything was calm again.

After all, it was getting late today, and everyone went back to sleep, but the bedroom of Stannis, the owner of Storm's End, was still lit.

Of course Stannis couldn't sleep, and the defeat at Copper Gate became his nightmare.

He once thought that the White Walkers were his nightmare, that it was almost impossible for humans to defeat the White Walkers, and then the rage of the Battle of Riverrun had left a great psychological shadow on him.

Stannis was then shot in the knee and escaped after spending months in prison.

He thought he had come out of the original nightmare, but he didn't expect to fall into a new nightmare again.

In this battle, he killed more than 30,000 men in the stormy land, and more than 30,000 fathers, sons, and brothers of families. And counting the old, weak, sick and disabled in charge of logistics, this number will be even more exaggerated.

He made adequate preparations for this battle, but he did not expect that the result of this battle would ruin the future and hope of the entire Stormland.

House Baratheon has ruled this land for almost 300 years, and how many people now hate themselves to the core?

The candle light flickered in the bedroom of the owner of Storm's End. Stannis sat quietly at the desk. He hadn't even taken off his armor. His expression was still the same as before, calm and determined, like a stone in a ditch. Smelly and hard.

Just breathing a little heavy.

Stannis is thinking about a series of recent events, including the death of Renly, the defeat of Bronze Gate, and so on.

However, at this moment, there was a knock on the door of his bedroom.

bang bang

"Davos?"

"Come in."

Stannis woke up slightly while sitting in front of the desk. He subconsciously thought it was the Onion Knight, because the other party was his most trusted aide and had just escaped from the battlefield.

But Stannis's words just blurted out, and the next second he frowned.

He realized that it couldn't be Davos.

Because Davos had been by his side for so long that Stannis had already understood his habits, including speaking, doing things, etc. When Davos knocked on the door, he would definitely say 'Sir' instead of saying "Sir". Will push the door directly or silently.

"William?"

Whether it was because of his excellent sixth sense or his suspicious personality, Stannis suddenly had a warning sign in his heart at this moment.

He subconsciously held the hilt of the sword around his waist. He hadn't taken off the dust-covered armor, nor did he take off his saber, and then he called out to his guard.

Stannis, once Duke of Dragonstone and now Lord of Storm's End, is of high birth and status, and has a loyal guard standing in front of his bedroom door at all times.

And this young man named William is one of Stannis's guards, and his family has served the Baratheon family for three generations.

His father used to accompany Stannis' father, Duke Stephen to Volantis. Later, when he returned to Shipbreaker Bay, he encountered a storm and the ship sank and died. Therefore, William is a real 'red roots', Shi Tanis also trusts him very much.

However, now Stannis suddenly felt a warning in his heart. He held the hilt of the sword and called the guard's name, but he didn't get any response. He completely realized that something was wrong.

bang——

At this moment, the door of Stannis's bedroom was knocked open by a young man with a broad chest, a strong build and strong arms.

He wore the armor of a Baratheon soldier, and he held a long sword with blood on the blade.

The family has been loyal to the Baratheon family for three generations. William, the loyal guard to Stannis, fell into a pool of blood at this moment. It seemed that he died at the hands of someone who was good at fighting. He fell down without responding.

He originally wanted to trick Stannis to open the door by himself, so that the movement would be smaller, and he would be able to escape without killing him. Blade Stannis avenged his brother.

"Come on!"

"There are assassins!"

Stannis, who was in the house, saw this scene and shouted decisively, calling for the guards in the castle to rescue him. At the same time, he also pulled out the long sword from his waist, his cheeks were tight, and his eyes were fixed on each other.

"Who are you?"

He looked at the person who came with a familiar face, but then he remembered that the other party seemed to be somewhat similar to Renly's staff, Donal Swen of Stonehelm, but the other party was stronger. Far beyond Donald

"Are you Balon Swan?"

Stannis suddenly remembered that the Earl of Stonehelm, Gulian Swan, had another son. It is said that he was strong, proficient in martial arts, and brave in battle.

However, the other party didn't answer, just rushed up with a roar, and slashed down with a long sword in hand.

Stannis saw this scene and hurriedly raised his sword to resist.

clang--

Immediately, the two long swords collided heavily, with a harsh metal collision sound, and even sparks burst out.

"Damn!"

Stannis only felt that his mouth was a little hot, and his ears were buzzing. Balon Sven's power was too great, and Stannis was not his opponent at all.

In Storm's End, there was movement outside the bedroom where Stannis lived.

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

It seems that Stannis's cry for help just now played a role, and some guards have already heard the sound and rushed over.

Then he saw the body lying outside Stannis' bedroom door, and even realized something was wrong.

"Oops!"

"Master Stannis has been assassinated!"

"Quick, quick! Come on!"

There was noise outside Stannis' bedroom door.

And in his bedroom, in the cramped space, Stannis was still fighting with Balon Swan.

He is no match for this strong young man at all, and the opponent's martial arts are even more superb. The long sword in Stannis' hand was even knocked into the air, and the tiger's mouth cracked and blood oozes slightly.

click -

Balon Swen slashed the desk in the bedroom with a long sword in his hand, directly splitting the heavy desk in half, and Stannis rolled around to avoid Balon Swan's. A sword.

bang——

Immediately, his head hit the bookcase on the side, and he felt a little dizzy.

But Stannis, gasping for breath, did not dare to neglect, and drew the dagger from his waist.

This dagger was the one that killed his own brother Renly.

Because he knew that this was the most dangerous moment in his life. Once on the battlefield, the enemy would try to catch him alive, but the assassin didn't listen to any explanation from him and just wanted to take his life immediately.

"Lord Stannis!"

bang——

At this moment, the guards of Storm's End finally arrived, and they rushed into Stannis' bedroom.

However, they only saw the final scene.

Balon Sven grabbed Stannis's shoulder with a long sword in his hand, the sword pierced through his chest, then drew the sword, and blood spurted out.

"Ho-"

"cough"

For the first time, there was a violent mood swing on Stannis' stoic, indifferent, never-smiling cheek.

He gasped as he looked at Baron Swan as if he wanted to say something but couldn't say it, blood clogged his windpipe and came out of his mouth.

Then the dagger that had killed Renly fell to the ground with a clang, and the body fell to the ground.
