Game of Thrones: Roar of the Dragon

Chapter 8 Corruption Situation

"Humph!

Only a kid like you who hasn't even fully grown all his hair can say such things!
Go back to your Dragonstone!
Honorable Prince Jacaerys!"

Lord Collis had not yet spoken.

A middle-aged knight behind him, wearing the silver-white armor of the Velaryon family, responded bluntly.

"Shut up, Valmond!
I am very touched that Xiaojie has this kind of thought. "

After hearing what Count Collis said, Jacaerys knew who this man was.

Lord Corliss's younger brother, Valmond Velaryon.

Knowing his nephew Lanino's sexual orientation well, he has always been very hostile to the three Jakaris brothers.

Although this matter is considered a semi-open secret among the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms.

But with King Viserys, who was extremely protective of his people, around, no one dared to gossip.

Two years after the original play, Earl Collis fell into a coma due to a high fever caused by his injuries.

Valmond wanted to become the Lord of Tides, and openly said in front of the Iron Throne that the three Jacaerys brothers were bastards and Rhaenyra was a whore.

As a result, Damon used the Dark Sister's sword to cut off the head above the mouth.

Jakaris was not angry when he heard this, but smiled and said softly: “It is normal for my uncle to question me.

Grandpa, can you tell me the general situation of the Stone Steps Islands?
If two months, no, nothing was achieved within one month.

Then I will return to Dragonstone immediately."

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Earl Collis fell into hesitation.

What my younger brother Valmond said was true. War is not something a thirteen-year-old child can afford to play with.

No one believed that a child who had never been exposed to war could be a military genius!
Seeing this, Benilla, who had already become a fan girl of Jakaris over the years, immediately spoke up and said, “Grandpa, Jakaris is really amazing.

And he brought Vermax with him!"

Hooray, hooray!
Womax in the sky also flew low over the sky very appropriately when Benila said this.

Although its nearly fourteen-meter-long body is less than one-fifth of the Sea Serpent, it is extremely oppressive to ordinary humans.

In the heyday of House Velaryon, there were three great dragons.

But Vhagar was stolen by Aemond, and Sea Smoke became a wild dragon because of Lannino's fake death.

The only capable fighter, the 'Red Queen' Melias, had to stay with Countess Rhaenys on Tidehead Island.

Yup!

No matter how talented Jakaris is in military affairs, having one more dragon in terms of combat power is always good!

Count Collis changed his mind and planned to keep Jacaris away from danger as much as possible and use him only as a tool to tame the dragon.

"Okay! I agree!

However, the current situation in the Stone Steps Islands is complicated.

This is not the place to talk, let's go into the cabin and talk!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Earl Collis turned and walked towards the cabin.

Ha ha!

With an unhappy look on his face, Valmond glanced at Jakaris, sneered, and followed his brother.

Jakaris didn't care and still had a smile on his face.

He wouldn't bother with a dead person.

I just silently crossed out the remaining two years of this dead man's life in my heart!

The captain's cabin of the Sea Serpent is decorated in an absurdly luxurious style.

Lord Collis poured four glasses of wine from the Arbor.

After a casual greeting, he picked up a glass of wine and tasted it, then slowly spoke: “There are four forces in the Stone Steps Islands now.

We are House Velaryon, the Kingdom of the Three Daughters, the Kingdom of Dorne, and the Viking Alliance.

The strongest force among them is naturally us.

But the Kingdom of the Three Daughters and the Kingdom of Dorne have formed an alliance against us.

The neutral pirate alliance is like a hyena. They often come out to plunder the spoils when the battle between us ends."

"The Kingdom of Dorne?
They are just openly intervening in the Stone Steps Islands War?"

"The Iron Throne nominally rules over seven kingdoms, but it can actually control only six.

The four wars launched in the past hundred years have not conquered the Kingdom of Dorne, but only maintained the perpetual peace treaty signed by Aegon the Conqueror.

When Daemon and I fought the Crab Feeders, Prince Keoren Martell of Dorne secretly sent troops to assist us.

But because King Viserys was too weak...uh, too concerned about the peace and stability of the Seven Kingdoms.

After the war, there was no warning or punishment against the Kingdom of Kodorn.

It is not surprising that the situation in the Stone Steps Islands has become what it is now."

From this passage, it can be seen that Earl Corliss has some complaints about King Viserys.

Jakaris immediately changed the subject after hearing this: “Grandpa, what’s going on with those pirates?

I heard from Daemon that when he was crowned the 'King of the Narrow Sea and the Stepstones', he wiped out all the pirates around here!"

He was a little clever here and did not call Daemon "father" in front of Earl Collis.

Sure enough, Count Collis looked at him with gentle eyes and replied: "Silly boy, there is no way to kill all the pirates!

There are many criminals from the Kingdom of Three Daughters in this pirate alliance, but there are even more privateers from other free city-states.

The greatest of these is Volantis."

"Volantis?
I remember reading in a book that the Kingdom of the Three Daughters was established after the Kingdom gained control of the Disputed Lands from Volantis!
Can the enemy of our enemy become our friend?"

After Jacaris finished speaking, Valmond on the side finally found an opportunity to mock him.

“How ignorant!
The Kingdom of Three Daughters, which gained control of the disputed land, has become more powerful than ever in the past twenty years.

The dozen or so warships they sent to the Stone Steps Islands were less than one-tenth of their total force.

The remaining main fleet did not participate in the war because they were on guard against Volantis!

You want to convince the Archon of Volantis to join the war?

Then let’s destroy the main fleet of the Kingdom of Three Daughters!
But if you can really do it, why would you need to form an alliance with Volantis?

The Stepstones, no, the entire Disputed Lands will fly the silver seahorse banner of our House Velaryon!"

Vamond's words immediately made Benilla unhappy. She waved her fist and said, "Uncle, I think Jacaris can do it!"

Jacaerys scratched the back of his head when he heard that.

Benilla, the fangirl, idolizes him blindly and believes he can do anything.

But he is self-aware.

Relying on the entry panel, he will definitely be able to do this on his own in the future.

But now, we have to rely more or less on strategy and our own military strength.

"Grandpa, what are the specific strength and deployment of the enemy and us?"

Hearing Jacaris's question, Earl Collis immediately pointed to a map on the table and began to introduce it.

The Shijie Archipelago consists of dozens of islands of varying sizes.

The three largest islands surround the smaller and medium-sized islands in a triangle.

Because he and Damon had suffered a great loss when their supplies were cut off by the enemy.

Earl of Collis had ten large warships, twenty medium-sized warships, and thirty small warships.

A total of 5,500 troops firmly occupied the northernmost waters of Mijie Island.

The Kingdom of Three Daughters had twelve large warships and at least forty or fifty small warships.

A force of approximately 3,600 men was stationed on Bloodstone Island, a northeastern island close to the disputed land.

The Kingdom of Dorne occupied Grey Gallows Island, a southwestern island adjacent to the Broken Arm of Dorne, with seven medium-sized warships and a force of 1,200 men.

The Pirate Alliance hides on many islands among the Stepstones.

The exact number of troops these pirates had was unclear, but they deployed no less than thirty or forty small and medium-sized warships for each robbery.

It has to be said that after years of investment and management by several forces.

The fighting power of the Stone Steps Islands, which is in a deteriorating situation, can barely rival that of a US war!

PS: There are only two named islands in the Stone Steps Archipelago, so some of them have been added and modified!
