#491 - Chapter 223 I'm Here to Collect Debts

This action directly exacerbated the collapse of the defending soldiers and disrupted Cersei's plans.

A unit of blue-armored cavalry, led by gold cloaks from the Iron Gate, bypassed the chaotic Flea Bottom. They went straight to Aegon's High Hill, blocking Cersei and the members of the small council who were trying to escape. Only with the desperate resistance of the Lannister guards who accompanied them, Cersei and her party were able to safely escape back to the Red Keep.

Since those who arrived first were cavalry, they couldn't besiege the city, let alone a fortress like the Red Keep. After eliminating the guards who were still resisting outside the city, they immediately split up and searched along the city walls, preventing anyone inside from escaping.

The gates of the Red Keep were tightly closed, and the guards in the castle immediately climbed the city walls, their bows and crossbows pointed at the blue-armored cavalry outside.

Cersei and her party were temporarily out of danger, but Victarion's face was very unsightly. His Ironborn guards were all foot soldiers and too slow, so they were left outside the city.

However, the Red Keep was not a safe place to stay for long. The Queen had already entered the city, and those dragon-hunting crossbows he had set up on the city walls were now useless decorations. As more and more enemy troops entered the city, those fooled miscellaneous troops and rioters would soon be cleared out. Or they would wake up and surrender to the enemy. Those wavering speculative forces were also observing in the dark, waiting for everyone to see that the Red Keep had lost control of King's Landing, and they would definitely side with Daenerys.

Guard Captain Isaac approached Cersei and whispered, "Your Majesty, there is another way to leave. It's in Varys's old room, discovered during a previous search. I've been inside myself. The secret passage leads from the Red Keep to the cliffs overlooking the sea. The narrow handle cannot be seen from the ground, and the small road built into the rocks can take people all the way to the banks of the Blackwater Rush."

Cersei said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Isaac looked around and whispered, "Your Majesty, that secret passage is very narrow and cannot take too many people."

Cersei's eyes became firm. The situation was out of control. She had to take decisive action: "I understand. Only a few people can be taken away… then only take the most loyal." She scanned the people around her, making a decision in her heart.

Cersei ordered, "All guards to the city walls. Ser Aerys, you and Ser Jaime are in command here. Lord Eddard, you allocate the supplies within the Red Keep, we must hold it. Qyburn, you come with me to the council chamber to discuss how to deal with the current situation."

"Isaac, take a small team, the most loyal. Only a few of us, including the Kingsguard, the others I will order to resist the enemy as much as possible to buy us time." Cersei's voice carried a trace of determination.

Isaac nodded, "As you command, Your Majesty."

They seemed to walk into Maegor's Holdfast, but quietly turned a corner halfway, heading to the Maidenvault on the side of the Great Sept.

The Maidenvault was a long, narrow, stone-roofed fortress built next to the Great Sept. A huge and engraved bronze gate was there, where Baelor I imprisoned his sisters. Because he was extremely opposed to the Targaryen family's tradition of incest, believing that as long as he couldn't see his sisters, he wouldn't be tempted and fall into carnal desire. And this bronze gate was to stop himself.

Cersei glanced at the bronze gate with some mockery as she passed the passage. Just as they had just passed the gate, there was a loud "boom!" With the sound of metal rubbing, the huge gate crashed down. Two Lannister guards didn't have time to dodge and were crushed into mincemeat. A member of the Kingsguard was hit in the crotch, and was still wailing on the ground, not quite dead.

Blood and minced meat splattered, and a piece hit Cersei's face. After she reacted, she covered her mouth and vomited. Just now, the Mountain reacted extremely quickly and protected her, otherwise she might have ended up like that Kingsguard.

Isaac quickly drew his sword, vigilantly looking around. The others also drew their weapons, preparing to deal with possible dangers.

"Who did it?" Cersei roared angrily.

No one answered, except for the blood and the Kingsguard who was still wailing, everything around was silent.

Cersei wiped the blood from her face, and calmed down. She realized that this might be a premeditated trap, targeting herself. Another Kingsguard and a dozen other guards were trapped on the other side of the bronze gate, and they were hitting the gate with their weapons.

Despite his trembling legs, Qyburn still reminded her: "Your Majesty, I don't think it's safe here, we must leave as soon as possible!"

Cersei also felt that this place was not suitable to stay for long, she nodded and said: "Okay, let's go. Mountain, you lead the way!"

"You, can't go anywhere!" As the muffled voice sounded, a tall figure walked out from the other end of the passage. He was wearing heavy black armor, but the dog-head helmet exposed his identity, the Hound - Sandor Clegane. He held a delicate hand-and-a-half sword, and walked towards Cersei and others, the pattern on the blade was a Valyrian steel sword.

"Shua ~ Shua ~!" The sword body dragged on the stone slab floor, rubbing out a long spark. The Hound's buzzing voice came from the helmet: "So it's the Queen Mother, and my dear brother. Where do you want to go? We still have some scores to settle!"

Although the Mountain couldn't speak, his eyes turned blood red, and he couldn't help the urge in his heart to step forward.

Isaac pointed with his sword: "Go! Kill him!" Under his order, two guards raised their swords and pounced from the left and right, and the only remaining Kingsguard followed closely behind.

The battle broke out instantly, swords clashed, and sparks flew. The Hound easily avoided the attacks of the two guards, then reached out and pressed one's hand holding the sword, and with a fierce wave of his sword, he chopped off his head, and the headless body knelt on the ground.

In the panicked eyes of the other guard, he grabbed his head and slammed it **** the stone wall, "Bang!" Red and white smeared the wall, and it could be seen that the helmet in his hand had been deformed.

The Kingsguard was a little scared when he saw this, but he still mustered his courage and rushed up, stabbing the Hound's right rib.

At this moment, a shadow appeared above his head. A sharp spear pierced his back neck from top to bottom, and then pierced out of his chest. A petite figure fell from the sky and landed on his body. The Kingsguard only twitched twice before he died.

Arya forcefully pulled out the double-headed spear, shook off the blood on it, pointed at a few people and smiled evilly, and said: "We meet again, I said last time! Cersei, your head will be taken by me!"
