#497 - Chapter 229 Relieved...

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a sense of exhaustion and helplessness. The Mountain was just too difficult to deal with; the battle was too intense, and they almost lost their lives.

Arya took the short sword and pulled 'Needle' out of the Mountain's knee. She and Sandor searched the area, retrieving their weapons, which were all valuable Valyrian steel.

Sandor leaned on his jagged sword, his legs trembling as he walked, searching for kindling. He finally managed to light the Mountain's corpse. Watching the roaring flames, he was filled with emotion. Suddenly, he pointed behind Arya and said, 'Are you injured? It looks like you're bleeding a lot, you should take care of it! I might have some medicine in my pack.'

Arya reached behind her, feeling the wetness on her thigh, which was all blood. She looked down and saw that her pants were soaked. She quickly untied the leather pouch from her waist, opened it, and took a look. Instantly, a strong feeling of nausea surged through her, and she couldn't help but gag.

Sandor limped over, asking with concern, 'What's wrong? What happened?'

Arya slowly shook her head, her tone calm but filled with deep regret, saying, 'Originally, this was Cersei's head, meant to be taken to commemorate my father, but unfortunately, it was crushed during the intense fight just now.' After speaking, she sighed softly and casually threw the broken pouch into the roaring fire.

Sandor Clegane looked at the strong and brave girl before him, and a sense of admiration arose in his heart. He knew his physical condition wasn't good, so he said softly, 'Let me help you.' He reached out and supported Arya's arm, trying to give her some support.

The two supported each other, staggering outwards, each step seeming particularly difficult. However, at that moment, a sudden burst of noise came from afar, the sound gradually increasing as if many people were approaching.

'Damn it! Someone's coming!' Sandor cursed in a low voice, a look of nervousness on his face.

Arya frowned, carefully listening to the noise, and quickly determined that those people were the guards of the Red Keep. She immediately realized the situation was bad and hurriedly said to Sandor, 'We need to find a place to hide quickly, we can't let them find us.'

The two quickened their pace, moving as quickly as possible towards the tower. However, as they were about to reach the tower, they found a group of soldiers running from another direction. These soldiers were the members of the guard who had been separated by the Bronze Gate. They had gone a long way around and finally arrived here.

The soldiers were getting closer and closer, shouting, 'Catch them!'

Arya and Sandor exchanged a glance, a hint of determination and resolution in their eyes. Although their physical condition wasn't ideal, facing more than a dozen guards, they were determined to fight to the death and never give in easily.

Victarion was mixed in with the guards, his heart full of anger. He knew clearly that if anything happened to Cersei, they would all be in trouble because the Ironborn didn't have a good reputation on the mainland, and it would be difficult to find a new master to take them in. Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt a shadow overhead. He looked up, his mouth wide open in surprise.

‘Roar~!’ With a loud roar, scorching flames descended from the sky, instantly engulfing the ranks of guards. In the blink of an eye, everyone had turned into a blazing torch, Victarion included. He tried to dodge, but space was limited, and there was no time to escape.

Arya looked up and saw a white figure flash past: 'It's Viserion! The dragon came here, the Queen must have entered the city.'

Sandor breathed a sigh of relief: 'Looks like we're saved.' After speaking, he prepared to sit on the ground to rest.

Arya quickly pulled him up, anxiously saying, 'Get up quickly! It's not safe here yet, they don't know we're here. What if the other dragons come again with dragonfire and set you on fire too? Wouldn't that be too unfair?'

Sandor thought: 'That makes sense, but where can we go?'

Arya: 'Let's hide in the sewers for a while, preferably find a way to leave the Red Keep first.'

Arya and Sandor traveled along the sewer, and soon they found a small path leading out of the city, so they quietly headed towards the exit, and finally arrived at a relatively safe place. They leaned against the wall, panting heavily.

The exit of the secret passage was the Tower of the Hand. They had left King's Landing, and looking back at the city shrouded in war, their hearts were filled with emotion.

'This war is finally over...' Sandor sighed deeply.

............................

Because the guards of the Dragon Gate and the Iron Gate actively surrendered, the Queen's army attacked King's Landing from the north. This not only caused chaos among the city's guards, but the cavalry also blocked the escape routes of Cersei and other high-ranking officials.

The chaos in the city naturally affected the still-resisting army. Although Cersei had been promoting the Queen's army's brutality, the citizens and guards in the city had a strong resistance to the return of the Targaryens. The army wasn't a place to reason, and it inevitably caused many unwarranted casualties.

Daenerys had ordered in advance that anyone who resisted could be killed directly. After all, she had given the citizens of King's Landing time to escape, and those who remained in the city could be regarded as enemies.

Without the indecisiveness and excessive kindness of the original work, the Queen suppressed the city all the way, naturally doing no harm to the peaceful people, but she wouldn't be soft on the defeated soldiers and looting mobs.

The King's Gate, the Lion Gate, and the Old Gate were successively broken, and the army entered the city. Next, the guards of the River Gate took the initiative to escape. Seeing the Queen's army surrounding them, the guards of the Gate of the Gods killed the city defense commander Adam Marbrand, cut off his head, and surrendered to the Queen.

Daenerys rode a dragon, traveling along the road, with giants guarding her left and right. She was loudly announcing the official return of the Targaryen family, and that she, Daenerys Targaryen, would retake the Iron Throne.

They encountered resistance at the Red Keep. The guards inside the Red Keep refused to surrender and fired giant crossbows. They were all die-hard Lannisters, knowing that surrendering wouldn't do them any good, so they chose to resist to the end.

Daenerys directly ordered the two dragons circling in the air to attack. Rhaegal and Viserion breathed dragonfire, specifically targeting crowded places. She didn't care whether the buildings of King's Landing would be damaged, because there had been a plan to rebuild King's Landing and change the previous unreasonable designs. Even if the entire city was destroyed, she didn't care. All she needed was the Iron Throne.
