into the main tent of the military camp.
At this moment, it was already packed with vassals from the Southern Territory and the Stormlands.
They were making a great fuss, deciding to give Stannis a crushing defeat tomorrow.
Caitlin listened absentmindedly to their discussion, her mind still preoccupied with how to safely rescue Rickon.
It wasn't until it was completely dark and everyone else had left that she came to her senses.
At this moment, only Renly, Catelyn, and Brienne were in the main tent.
When Renly saw that Caitlyn was depressed, he knew that she was still worried about her young son.
His eyes lit up, and in order to win over Stark, he decided to promise to return Rickon to her after defeating Stannis.
But the moment he opened his mouth, his shadow, illuminated by the candlelight, stood up in a way that defied common sense, holding a sword in his hand.
At that moment, Caitlin and Brienne instantly realized that something was wrong.
"Lord Renly, be careful!"
Just as Caitlyn uttered her warning, Shadow slashed Renly's throat with his sword, and blood gushed out.
"Your Majesty—no!"
Brienne screamed in despair, instinctively catching Renly as he was about to fall.
"It's so cold..."
Lanli murmured in a soft, bewildered tone, the blood still flowing.
The vassals who had just left the Southern Territory and Stormlands rushed back into the military tent upon hearing the screams.
"Your Majesty Renly!"
They watched in horror as Renly gradually lost his breath, and a figure carrying a sword disappeared before their eyes.
"magic!"
"Who used bizarre shadow magic to murder His Majesty Renly?!"
"I'm going to kill him! I absolutely have to kill him!"
Everyone present looked at each other, only Brienne's desperate voice echoed in the military tent.
Soon, the entire military camp began to stir.
Seeing that things were not going well, Caitlin quickly led her men away from the camp and headed towards Riverrun that very night.
Meanwhile, in Stannis's camp, Stannis, having finished his work, coldly gazed at Renly's camp, seemingly already foreseeing their defeat.
"Brother, please forgive me!"
His soft murmur disappeared into the wind.
Stannis then immediately sent Davos to attack Renly's camp.
The Lannister army camp was thrown into chaos instantly.
As the night passed, apart from the army in the south being taken away by Randyll Tarly, the entire Stormlands once again swore allegiance to Stannis.
Immediately afterwards, the flames of war began to spread to King's Landing.
In the North, having completed the cleanup operation, Garon finally decided to return to Winterfell to report back to the Starks.
