Game of Thrones: Roar of the Dragon

Chapter 120: Air Magic, Military and Civilians Fight Together

Now that we have made up our minds to attack Dorne, which has never been completely conquered, we must make adequate preparations for the war.

Jacaerys's initial tactical plan was to attack Dorne simultaneously from land, sea and air.

The Lannister army from the Westerly, the Tyrell army from the Reach, and the King's Landing's direct troops fought at the Sky City and Prince's Pass.

The Conqueror's Fleet and the Velaryon Fleet attacked the city of Tor from the northeast Sea of ​​Dorne.

As for Jacaerys, he led the dragons directly from the sky to attack the capital of Dorne, Sunspear.

Since the Conqueror Fleet and the Velaryon Fleet are heading to Dorne, they will inevitably pass through the waters of the Stepstone Islands.

He temporarily left Rudy and the Unsullied Army on the Secret Island.

However, before returning to King's Landing, Jacaerys asked Ella to demonstrate to him how to activate the gem of life.

As for the experimental subjects, they were naturally the more than one thousand prisoners of the Combined Fleet.

Ella spent nearly half a day drawing a huge magic circle in an open space with the life gem as the center.

Then, Womax's huge dragon body appeared above the group of captives.

Since fresh blood is needed, it is naturally impossible to directly spit out black dragon flames with a temperature high enough to melt steel.

So it descended directly from the sky and executed more than a thousand prisoners of the Combined Fleet in close combat.

This process was naturally extremely bloody. The Unsullied, who had no emotional fluctuations, showed no abnormalities, but a considerable number of Velaryon soldiers vomited all over the place.

To Jacaerys's surprise, Ella was not moved at all by the bloody scene and looked as if she was used to it.

It’s unknown how much blood of ordinary people there is on the hands of Master Yunkong, a wizard who uses elemental magic, let alone other extraordinary people.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable that the extraordinary people in this world are feared and hated by ordinary people.

Under the effect of the magic circle, the blood that was spilled all over the open ground flowed towards the life gem in the center like a living thing.

An average adult has about five kilograms of blood in his body, and the total blood of more than a thousand people is close to seven thousand kilograms.

But in less than ten minutes, it was completely absorbed by the thumb-sized life gem.

And this only caused an imperceptible red dot to appear on the surface of the life gem.

So the 100,000 people Ella mentioned before was just the lowest number she estimated.

Trading the lives of hundreds of thousands of people for a few hundred more years of your own life?

This is simply... a great deal!
After this experiment proved that Ella's method was feasible, Jekaris was overjoyed.

Although he is only fourteen years old, the lifespan of an ordinary human is fleeting.

He didn't want to shout to the sky before he died of old age, I really want to live another 500 years!
And Jacaerys was very confident that under his rule, Westeros would enter an unprecedented era of prosperity.

Food, economy and population will all grow rapidly.

A population of 100,000 or 200,000? It would take at least three to five years, or at most more than ten to twenty years to gather them all.

By the way, Jacaerys just suddenly recalled the scene in the original play where Melisandre drank the deadly poison but remained safe and sound.

After asking Ella, she explained that this was also one of the many additional functions of the Life Gem.

That is to say, after reactivating the Life Gem, Jakaris will make up for his last shortcoming.

After Jacaerys arranged some pre-war preparations for Rudy, he set off from Secret Steps Island back to King's Landing, and Ella was naturally brought with him.

Flying at high altitude for a long time was very boring. Since he was free anyway, he began to ask about the magic methods used by Ella in the previous battle.

Ella had nothing to hide from this new boss, who she could neither defeat nor be a super wizard.

She used many magical terms to express her magical abilities, and Jacaerys roughly figured them out based on his own personal experience and some guesswork.

Master Yunkong is a magician who mainly manipulates the element of air. Ella’s magic is very... scientific!
The air shield that blocked the dragon flames and suffocated Jacaerys were both the same application of magic.

That is to use magic power to quickly extract oxygen from the local air.

Of course, what Ella originally said was not oxygen, but a kind of air element that Master Yunkong named himself.

The tornado with exaggerated visual effects draws a large amount of oxygen and gathers it in the air, while rapidly heating it with magic power.

The air affected by Ella's magic will form a huge temperature difference in a short period of time.

The huge temperature difference causes super-fast convection between the upper and lower layers of air, forming many small air vortices in a very short time.

After that, she only needed to continuously increase her magic power to expand these small whirlpools and drive them to vibrate, thus easily forming an artificial tornado.

Ella, the aerologist, is very useful!
After hearing the narration, Jakaris' eyes immediately lit up, and various ways of using Ella popped up in his mind.

If used to liberate productivity, it is entirely possible to build a large steel furnace, using Ella as a human-shaped oxygenator to allow the flame to reach a higher temperature.

And many other similar areas of life that require increased oxygen and pressure.

If used in combat, it can become a dragon flame enhancer.

As we all know, the higher the oxygen concentration, the faster and more intense the combustion reaction will proceed.

With Ella's full support, a young dragon like Araxes might be able to spit out dragon flames that are as powerful as an adult dragon.

If Womax's black dragon flame were strengthened, its power would probably be beyond everyone's imagination.

And don’t those rats in Dorne like to burrow in the mountains?

When the time comes, we will find the cave where they are hiding and let Ella slowly extract the oxygen from the cave...

The boring journey became interesting in Jakaris's many imaginations, so he felt that the time for the return trip passed unknowingly.

As soon as Silver Wing and Haiyan returned to King's Landing, they took the initiative to fly back to the dragon's lair.

Given the huge size of the three dragons, the guards of the Red Castle discovered them as soon as they entered King's Landing and reported it to the higher authorities.

So when Womax drove Jacaerys and Ella back to the Red Castle, Benilla, Lusiris, Stone and others were already waiting in the royal garden.

Since Ella doesn't have the materials to remake her own mask magic weapon, she now does not hide her extremely high beauty at all.

Benilla rolled her eyes when she saw another beautiful woman just one day after Jakaris had been out.

But she knew her place in Jakaris' heart, so she didn't have too many other thoughts.

But the Lannister sisters behind her were different. When they saw this very beautiful foreign woman, they immediately felt a sense of crisis in their hearts.

As the two golden flowers of the Western Territory, they actually felt that they were not as beautiful as this foreign woman.

But that won’t work!
Before leaving, the two blonde sisters were told by Duke Jason about their mission for this trip to King's Landing... to strive for the position of queen as much as possible.

Jacaerys now has a very bad reputation in the Seven Kingdoms, and the two of them had been somewhat reluctant before.

But after seeing his heroic figure riding a dragon into the sky yesterday, he has made up his mind to complete his father's task as soon as possible.

If Jacaerys really followed Aegon the Conqueror's example and married two queens, one would naturally be Baena, with whom he grew up and was once betrothed, and the other would have to be one of their sisters.

Serela and Tisara looked at each other and knew that they needed to take the initiative to do something next.

After jumping down from the dragon saddle, Jacaerys first chatted with Xiaolu and Benilla who were concerned about him, and then immediately ordered Stone to prepare for a royal meeting.

He originally wanted Benilla to take Ella to familiarize herself with the Red Castle and King's Landing.

But Ella had no interest at all and kept quietly reminding him that she lacked the magical materials to make a new mask magic weapon.

Jacaerys really likes Ella's straightforward personality, which focuses on magic.

He smiled slightly, turned around and told Dario to go to the Red Castle ice storage to get some frozen dragon bones and dragon skins.

These all came from Dreamfire. Vermax had not refreshed the cooldown of the Glutton at that time, so Jacaerys had the Dragon Guards cut up its body and refrigerate it.

Dragon blood and dragon meat contain extremely hot auras and are impossible to refrigerate.

So in order to avoid waste, it was made into feed and fed to the young dragons in the dragon's cave in batches.

As soon as she saw the legendary dragon material, Ella danced with excitement.

She then asked Jacaerys for many alchemical tools, and then went into an empty room in the Red Castle and started studying behind closed doors.

After leaving two royal guards to serve Ella, Jacaerys went to the room where the royal meeting was held.

As for whether Ella would take the opportunity to escape, considering her current fanatical look, the probability is very small.

Besides, with Womacks watching every move of the Red Keep, she couldn't escape even if she wanted to.

As Jacaerys had the final say, the Royal Council quickly passed the resolution to invade Dorne.

What surprised Jacaerys was that his conscription order had not yet been sent out via raven mail.

Celera and Tisara came together and took the initiative to express that the Westerland was willing to send an army of 6,000 people to fight against the traitors in Dorne.

Seeing that the Lannisters were so sensible, Jacaerys' hostility towards them was immediately weakened.

He immediately praised Duke Jason's loyalty, and then made a rather special request.

After the business was done, the blonde sisters began to seduce with words and body language.

But they chose the wrong timing.

Jacaerys was currently obsessed with obtaining a long life and was not in the mood to discuss life with the two blonde sisters.

The two blonde sisters who were asked to leave the bedroom by Jacaerys felt that their self-confidence had been severely hit.

After calming down and thinking carefully, they decided to persuade their father to increase the number of westerly troops to attack Dorne and to double the effort to fulfill that special request.

Since the temptation failed, I will use my family's background to increase my bargaining chips.

Ravens carrying the king's orders quickly flew from King's Landing to Casterly Rock and Highgarden.

The Lannister and Tyrell families immediately summoned their vassal states and began to prepare to send troops.

After all, if they dared to be perfunctory, the evil dragon Jacaerys might visit Casterly Rock and Highgarden before attacking Dorne.

After seven days of intensive preparations, the Conqueror Fleet, which was heading to Secret Steps Island to pick up Rudy and the Unsullied Legion, set out from Blackwater Bay first.

On the morning of the eighth day, Aegon Square in King's Landing.

The news of the new king's expedition to Dorne had already spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms, and many civilians had gathered at this place where the king had to pass before the expedition, waiting to watch the excitement.

Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha!
Teams of infantry legions, equipped with worn-out armor and arranged in relatively neat rows, entered Aegon Square in high spirits.

This infantry regiment of 5,500 men is composed of the Frey family, the Blackwood family, and the royal family who show their loyalty.

The commander was Lord High Admiral, Earl Samwell, who was riding beside the army with a beaming smile on his face, listening attentively to the exclamations and praises of the common people of King's Landing.

After the infantry was the cavalry corps of about four thousand people.

A large part of the cavalry corps were valley cavalrymen who had lost the Eyrie and were rewarded handsomely by Jacaerys.

The remaining small half were second-generation cavalry squads sent by many nobles of the seven countries to gild their reputations and make themselves known.

In their opinion, the new king had several dragons after all. He might not be able to completely conquer Dorne, but he would definitely not lose on a frontal battlefield.

Not only were the marching formations of these second-generation noble cavalry teams messy, but they were also chatting loudly and in a very noisy manner.

Seeing this, Marquis Forester, who was in charge of commanding the cavalry corps, rubbed his head in pain.

He didn't understand why His Majesty Jacaerys had specifically stuffed these guys into this expeditionary army.

blah blah blah!
Behind the noisy cavalry corps were Jakaris's own troops.

This army is a mix of various arms, including a mixture of Unsullied and Baratheon melee infantry.

There are also long-range crossbow corps and logistical troops that transport Yangyan and baggage.

This direct line of troops is worthy of being trained by Jakaris himself.

They were seen marching forward in silence and in unison, in stark contrast to the noble second-generation cavalry squad that had been chatting recklessly before.

A solemn and murderous aura rose up amid the orderly footsteps and the clash of mail armor, instantly making the common people of King's Landing who were pointing and talking around them shut up.

Especially Yang Yan on the giant special carriage. Anyone who is swept by its emotionless golden dragon eyes will feel a tremor in their hearts.

Many timid civilians in King's Landing even secretly wet their pants.

Hooray, hooray!
Three huge adult dragons, led by Vermax, flew in from the direction of the Red Castle. The huge shadows they cast from the sky instantly dimmed the light in Aegon Square.

This is not the end yet. Three young dragons, Araxes, Tyrexu and Moondancer, also flew out of the dragon's lair.

It can also be clearly seen that there are dragon knights sitting on the backs of these three young dragons.

Ordinary civilians in King's Landing may not understand what is wrong with this, but the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms know what this means.

With seven giant dragons joining the battle, Dorne has no chance of winning this war at all!

Wheel, wheel!
After the army from King's Landing left, horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts filled with ordinary civilians arrived.

Their number was at least five times that of the previous army.

Many of the King's Landing civilians who were watching immediately greeted them with tears in their eyes and urged them to be careful.

Yes, these ordinary civilians will also participate in this Dorne war.

This scene happened not only in King's Landing, but also in Casterly Rock and Highgarden.

The military and civilians fight together. This is the special requirement that Jacaerys puts forward to the Westland and the River Reach!
