บท 25: The blood lion
After Rhaegar began to regroup the loyalist troops, a smuggler finally forces the maritime blockade: Davos Mervault slips under the galleys Redwyne, bringing salted fish and onions to the besieged, which allow them to hold out until the end of the war ...
Mace Tyrell who heard the news passed out in anger.
Mace Tyrell became the laughing stock among the nobles. His army had spent a year monitoring Storm's End to no avail.
Mace Tyrell later became one of the reasons for the Targaryens' defeat.
To the south, in the Red Mountains of Dorne, along the Prince's Pass, between Nightsong and the Kingsgrave, a tower stood.
Aslan, Ulmer, and Oswyn watched the tower.
Bottle in hand, Oswyn asked.
"My lord, why are we here?"
With an enigmatic smile, Aslan replied.
"To recruit the best men from Westeros."
Ulmer and Oswyn made a questioning face.
"Follow me."
Aslan steered his horse followed by his two subordinates towards the tower.
The trio climbed a path with their horses on the hill. While advancing they could see 3 knights wearing the armor of the royal guard, a large knight wearing heavy armor and a long red cape and a child with a sword.
The 3 royal guards seeing 3 horsemen coming armed themselves with their swords, the other two got up but just looked.
Aslan was at the front when he saw the 3 royal guards.
"Ser Arthur, Ser Gerold, and Ser Oswell."
"Ser Aslan, why are you here?"
"Arthur, I'm here to help you and get her back."
"I can't let you do this."
"As if you could stop me. I'm not your enemy, I wouldn't do anything to Rhaegar's child but Lyanna will come with me."
Arthur took out his sword.
"I won't do that. If you raise your sword and something happens to me then my agents will spread the word about Lyanna's location all over Westeros."
Arthur, Gerols, and Oswell lowered their swords.
"Looks like you've made up your mind. Take me to Lyanna."
Arthur looked at Aslan before turning around and leading him to the top of the tower.
On the way, Aslan nodded to Axel and Sandor.
Going up the tower stairs, Arthur asked Aslan.
"How did you find us?"
"You want to know?" with a sly smile.
"Yes, the prince was secret in his movements, so how did you find us?"
"He, you will know soon enough."
Arthur displayed a curious expression.
Entering the tower, Aslan saw a single room with two maids, a master and Lyanna in a bed with a bulging belly.
"My lord welcome." The master bowed to Aslan. Aslan had sent the master to treat Lyanna and prevent her from dying, but the next thing surprised everyone.
"My lord." One of the maids also bowed, surprising Arthur and Lyanna. The servant was known to be a faithful servant of Rhaegar but today she showed that she was a spy.
"Good job Anna. Your rewards will be waiting for you when you meet Delia. Then you can live in peace and start your family."
"Thank you my liege."
Under the gaze of Arthur and Lyanna, the servant thanked Aslan and positioned herself behind him showing her position. Aslan then looked at Lyanna and spoke with a thin smile.
"Hello Lyanna, how are you?"
"Aslan ... what are you doing here?"
"I came to get you."
"What? Are you going to take me?"
"That's right if you stay here Ned will come soon and then you will have to marry Robert. Besides, I don't think Robert will like your Targaryen child."
Lyanna put her hand on her belly protectively.
"No! No one will hurt my child!"
"This is why you have to follow me because Robert is going to massacre all Targaryens."
"..."
Aslan then looked at Arthur and Lyanna before speaking.
"Listen to me carefully when the child is born, you will have to head immediately to Lannisport, my men will meet you and take you in. Currently, you can't move because of your pregnancy?"
Arthur and Lyanna nodded.
"I must also tell you something, my father is hunting down all the Targaryens. He will massacre King's Landing and will kill Rhaella and Viserys. Rhaella is also expecting a child who will be born in a few months."
(In the series, Daenerys was born in the year 284, but in the books, she was born in the year 282.)
Arthur and Lyanna were horrified.
"I am going to save the queen and her children but it will draw all the forces against me at this time it will be necessary to leave Westeros. For that, your child will have to stay here, in Westeros."
"He will never come with me."
"It is impossible, the trip will be dangerous and do you think Robert will give up knowing that he has not found you. He will not give up, for that, you must announce your death by someone Robert will take his word for and Robert's most loyal friend is Ned, your brother. "
Lyanna stared at Aslan for a moment before nodding. Aslan kept a calm face but he sighed in his heart.
"The timeline will at least follow part of its original timeline."
"Well then, I will wait for you at Lannisport in the next few months, for now, you will have to let Ned pass and talk with his sister. After that, you will join me."
Aslan nodded and left the tower.
"Uff ... it's tiring to manipulate everyone."
Aslan was tired and wanted to rest.
Aslan instructed Axel and Sandor to help Arthur, Gerold, and Oswell and he let the master take care of Lyanna after Jon's birth.
Aslan then left the south the same day. Aslan will soon enter the battle, the bloodthirsty lion will soon return to the battlefield.
At King's Landing, at the request of his son, Aerys resolves to ask for his help from Lord Tywin Lannister and prepares the destruction of Port-Réal with the Guild of Alchemists. Lord Chelsted opposes it and is executed then is replaced by the alchemist Rossart as hand of the king.
King's Landing is dotted with Greek fire, awaiting Aerys' order.
Rhaegar was responsible for assembling the Loyalist army. The loyalist army was made up of loyal lords, survivors of the bells and recruits. The loyalist army was weak because it had no experience in battles.
All forces combined, the royal army included 40,000 men, including 4,000 knights and 5,000 Dorne men. The royal army has already lost many men unnecessarily in previous battles for lack of capable leaders.
There is also a contingent of survivors of the Battle of the Bells, numbering 10,000 men.
In total, the royal army has 55,000 men.
Facing it, the rebel army massed 35,000 men, who had better combat experience than their adversaries. With the addition of 5000 men who survived at the Battle of Ashford and the 7,500 horsemen of the Vale.
In total, the rebel army has 47,500 men.
If the North has massively rallied to its suzerain, certain houses in the Vale and the Riverlands (Mouton, Ryger and Lychester houses) remain loyal to the Targaryens, while the Frey house of the Twins remains ostensibly neutral.
The rebel army descends to the south and the royal army enters the Riverlands. The two armies met at the Trident. The Trident is the name of the river formed by the confluence of the three rivers of the Green Fork, the Red Fork and the Blue Fork, and which flows into the Bay of Crabs.
Aslan who had returned to Lannisport sent a letter to his father telling him that it was time to move. Aerys asked for Tywin's help and after the royal army had left the capital, Aslan and Tywin could take advantage of it to accomplish their goals.
The next day, Tywin agreed and the two rushed to Riverspring. On a restless day, the two arrived in the city and were given the command to move.
However in the night, there are goodbyes, Aslan gathered his lieutenants.
"Albert, Johan, in two days we will invade King's Landing. During the battle, you must move away from my father's army and prepare to leave the city in an emergency."
"Why my lord?" asked one of the lieutenants.
Hearing the question from the lieutenant, Aslan looked at him coldly.
"Do you dare question my orders?"
The lieutenant shivered before waving his head.
"No! Of course not. Your orders are supreme."
The other lieutenant felt sorry for his friend. Everyone knew the ruthless Aslan. Aslan had reformed the army with blood, he killed many officers who were corrupt and useless. Some were even their friends.
"Good then. During the battle, you will have to discreetly separate from my father's army and you will wait for me at the King's gate."
Aslan ordered them to wait for him at the door of the king because Tywin and he will enter through the door the old door, the largest and most important.
Looking at King's Landing which will soon be a sea of blood, Aslan could only shake his head having pity on innocent civilians who will be victims of malicious soldiers.
Aslan was not afraid. His elites were strictly trained and to calm their heat they were recomposed after the battles and for the recruits, Aslan would not hesitate to kill them.
Under the door of King's Landing, Tywin stepped forward and proclaimed his loyalty to the crown. Pycell advised the king to open the door and Varys advised the king to open the doors, but unfortunately, Aerys was silly and desperate.
Aerys ordered the doors and their entrances to be opened, Tywin turned and shouted.
"Kill! Lannister soldiers, kill the men of the Targaryens!"
Tywin waved his sword and beheaded a soldier wearing the colors of the Targaryens.
The civilians seeing the Lannisters surge towards them, cries filled the streets.
Seeing Lannister soldiers kill civilians, Aslan felt something in his heart.
Aslan waved his sword and killed a soldier running towards him.
Blood colored his view as he advanced towards the Red Keep. The men behind him were in a bloody frenzy.
In a battle, man becomes only an animal and loses his intelligence. It only looks at the next target to be shot.
Aslan's mind was filled with anger, he was killing the soldiers in front of him but he could see and hear the pleas of the civilians.
"BEASTS! You must all die!"
At that time, Aslan was also killing the Lannisters soldiers who were killing and raping civilians, it made no difference. His golden armor had long since turned blood red. His red waist cape was soaked in blood.
His long steel sword was dripping with blood.
The Lannister soldiers seeing this scene began to flee and the men with the pants down could not flee had already lost their heads.
Before him, he soon saw the Red Keep.
"Soldiers! Kill everyone who stops us."
In the Red Keep Aerys orders Ser Jaime Lannister, last brother-juror of the Royal Guard to bring him the head of his father Lord Tywin Lannister and his brother Aslan Lannister. While he orders his Hand, Lord Rossart, to proceed to the destruction of Port-Réal, by burning the deposits of Greek fire scattered all over the city.
Jamie hearing this order was stunned. Jamie left the throne room but waited at the door.
Finally, Rossart left the throne room and when he saw Ser Jamie, Rossart was afraid for a moment before calming down.
"Ser Jamie, what are you still doing here, the king gave you an order."
"... Is it true that the king ordered you to blow up the city?"
Rossart felt something wrong and when he wanted to turn around and run, a sword crossed his body.
"Sorry, I can't let the king do this."
Rossart had a shocked face, he fell to the ground when Jamie withdrew his sword.
Jamie removed his white coat representing his status as a royal guard.
As he looked up at the sky, Jamie clasped his sword and made a decision.
Jamie turned around and pushed open the doors to the throne room. Aerys was in the delirious throne room.
"Kill them! All traitors! Traitors!"
"Burn them! Everyone! Burn them!"
Aerys looked at Jamie in shock but when he saw his bloodstained sword Aerys seemed to go crazy.
"Is it the traitor's blood?"
"No, Rossart's."
"... Huhu ... Hahaha! Burn them all! Burn them all! Hehaha!"
Jemie approached Aerys and he clasped his sword with both hands and he was about to transpire Aerys, the door to the throne room opened.
"Stop Jamie, you should never defile your honor, let me do the dirty work."
Jamie's sword stopped. This voice he could recognize. Turning around, Jamie says.
"Brother. What are you doing here?"
"Kill and save certain people."
Aslan entered the throne room with regular steps echoing through the empty throne room.
Jamie didn't understand why Aslan was in the Red Keep, let alone in the throne room.
