Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon.
Chapter 205: Eye of the Storm
Chapter 205: Eye of the Storm
Nowadays, knights from various southern families gallop along the Rose Avenue and the Mander River every day, and ravens fly everywhere in the southern sky.
Every day, new family representatives come to Highgarden, bringing gifts and young heirs who will be arranged by the king to serve in the palace, Sunspear City, or Highgarden, and swear allegiance to the king.
When the representative of House Caswell of Bitterbridge came to Highgarden to swear allegiance to Targaryen, they brought news: Duke Mace led his troops south, but did not arrive at Tumblestone as expected; at the same time, the Fudley family in Tumblestone blocked the river and the road into the city for some unknown reason, and some said they saw the Lannister lion flag.
The Caswell family sent out scouts, but they have not yet brought back accurate news. It is still unknown what the southern lords led by Mace Tyrell are planning with the Lannisters, but a group of merchants who were stopped on the road said with certainty that the Lannister army was hunting and shooting the ravens that were roosting around Tengshi Town.
This means that something seems to have happened to the Duke of Mace and the Lannisters in King's Landing, but it is still unknown what exactly happened.
Willas was very anxious. The crows he sent to King's Landing and Tumblestone all fell on deaf ears. Now it seemed that the only way was to send a messenger to find the southern army led by his father Mace, explain the pros and cons, and ask them to return to the south to pledge allegiance to the king.
It's funny to say that the Duke of Mace did an "excellent" job of keeping secrets, and he was always in the army outside King's Landing, so when the ravens he brought with him ran out, Highgarden had no idea what was happening there. Ravens can find castles, but don't expect them to find military camps, which is beyond the ability of ravens.
Viserys was not very concerned about the southern lords of Lord Mace. He was more concerned about the reply from Redwyne and Hightower.
The three important figures of the Redwyne family, Earl Paxter Redwyne of the Arbor and his two sons are not in the Arbor. The acting lord of the castle is Sir Desmond Redwyne, who is also the commander in charge of the Redwyne fleet.
This Desmond was married into the Hightower family and had a good relationship with the Hightower fleet.
The replies from Redwin and Hightower arrived almost at the same time, and it seemed that they had colluded with each other in private.
Desmond Redwyne sent a letter saying that he would obey the king's order and send a fleet to the Shield Islands.
On the Hightower family side, the nominal Earl of Hightower, the old man of Oldtown, Leighton Hightower, wrote back saying that he would obey the king's order and would send his eldest son and heir, Baelor Hightower, to Highgarden to swear allegiance.
But today Viserys took the time to come and see it. It was about 120 leagues from Highgarden to Oldtown and 170 leagues from the Arbor, which would take more than ten days to march, but Viserys could run back and forth in three hours at full speed from high altitude.
Viserys only needed to leave Highgarden under the pretext of riding a dragon to digest his meal, and he could reach the port of Oldtown and the harbor of the Arbor from high altitude, and monitor from above whether the two places really sent troops according to the order.
As a result, by the time the raven brought the reply to Highgarden, Redwyne's fleet had indeed been prepared and formed a marching formation to set off northward, while Hightower's fleet assembled at the port of Oldtown but did not take action. It is not yet clear whether Hightower has other ideas or is waiting in Whispering Bay for the fleet of the Arbor to gather together.
However, as Viserys watched the Redwyne fleet set off, he knew that the attitude of the Redwyne family had at least been made clear, and the loyalty of the largest fleet in the Seven Kingdoms was of great political significance to him.
Viserys had only wanted to take a moment to check and make sure Redwyne and Hightower were not saying one thing and doing another.
However, he had not expected that this trip would bring him other gains. Far up in the sky, Viserys seemed to feel that the power of "Song of the Storm" in his body was inexplicably surging, as if it was being pulled by something and this power was amplified in some way.
Viserys vaguely discovered that near the Redwyne Strait, he actually felt the same feeling as the day he built the statue in the Stormlands. There were many invisible waves in the dark that echoed the power of Viserys' "song", making the power of the storm "song" in Viserys faintly resonate.
Even this time the feelings were stronger and more manic.
Relying on the power of "song" to instinctively establish a mysterious connection between heaven and earth, Viserys tried to use the power of "song" to feel the weather and wind direction of this world.
Viserys realized that someone was controlling the weather with a power similar to the song in him.
The water vapor was gathering somewhere, and the air pressure was slowly forming under some mysterious force. Viserys could feel that a new severe storm was about to form somewhere on the sea.
Viserys felt that the strange power here was comparable to the power contained in the strange storm he encountered outside the Rain House City.
Viserys followed the direction of the wind and water vapor that he sensed in the dark, flapping his wings from high altitude and carefully approaching the point where air pressure was concentrated.
Unfortunately, when Viserys arrived at his destination, he found that it was an empty and uninhabited sea area. There was nothing on the gray sea surface. Viserys could look down for dozens of miles from the sky, but he could not find any islands, reefs or fleets.
But here, the power increase that Viserys inexplicably obtained was so strong that Viserys found that if he wanted to, he only needed to consume a little magic and mental power to use the power of "song" that he only knew the reason but not the reason to directly cause a violent storm in the sea area for several miles or directly disperse the eye of the storm that was gradually forming. But Viserys didn't plan to do anything yet.
Looking closely, the eye of the storm that was about to take shape was about fifteen leagues northwest of Qingting Island and twenty leagues due west of Whispering Bay. It was still some distance from the coastline. Considering that Redwyne and Hightower's fleets had no magic, they could only sail as normal ships in this world and move along the coastline.
Viserys felt the wind direction and, relying on the power of "song", unreasonably guessed that the eye of the storm would eventually land on the continental shelf at an angle of fifteen degrees northeast along the sea.
Then there is a high possibility that Redwyne and Hightower's fleets will be hit by the storm wherever the eye of the storm passes.
Viserys had already calculated that location, which was a vast sea area northwest of Blackcrown and southwest of Fort Bandaran.
Viserys was curious, this should be Euron performing a magical ritual to summon the storm.
By what power did Euron perform this magical ritual?
Viserys had some of the "Song of the Storm" on him, but he knew that to summon the same storm by his own strength, the amount of magic and mental energy required would be immeasurable.
Unless he finds some way to amplify it, just like he did in Rain House City, by building statues and actively arousing the latent power of mankind to resonate with his "song".
Viserys would never believe that Euron the Crow's Eye had as much magic and mental strength as himself, so there must be other ways to do the same thing, Viserys realized. Euron certainly couldn't have performed the ritual by prayer, he must have some more sinister method.
Viserys already had a guess in his mind, it was a blood sacrifice.
Although he did not know why, Viserys had realized that the power boost that blood sacrifice brought to his "song" was greater than that of prayer.
Viserys felt a powerful increase just by watching. Viserys knew what this meant, which meant that Euron had performed an evil blood sacrifice somewhere, perhaps a blood sacrifice to the Storm God, otherwise Viserys would not feel the increase in power - he guessed that the reason he felt this was because he had the power of "Storm Song" in him.
Viserys became interested and expanded his search in the nearby waters. After searching for a while, he even searched dozens of miles into the western Sunset Sea, but unfortunately he still could not find any trace of the fleet.
Unable to find the Crow's Eye's fleet or the source of the power increase, Viserys realized that Euron might have some kind of magic that could block or interfere with others or gods from using the power of "song" to find their location.
After searching for a while, Viserys realized that it was futile to look for a fleet in the vast ocean, so he simply gave up.
Viserys turned his attention to other thoughts.
Now that we know where the battlefield chosen by the Crow's Eye is, and this strange power enhancement should be put to good use, Viserys can add some more effects to the battlefield.
The essence of a storm is a low-pressure cyclone. On a plane at the same altitude, a low-pressure center will form in an area where the central pressure is lower than the surrounding pressure. This center will attract air here, just like the water from the surrounding mountains gathers in the center of the basin. The wind from the high-pressure areas will blow into the low-pressure center, eventually forming a vortex. The air that blows in will rise, thus forming an upward airflow. When a cyclone takes shape, it will eventually become what people call a typhoon or hurricane.
The essence of lightning is convection.
Viserys concentrated his mind and used this amplified power to try to guide the air currents on land to artificially create a high-pressure center in a field northwest of Oldtown, northeast of Blackcrown, and southeast of Bandaron.
It is easier to create a high pressure center than a low pressure center. You only need to use magic to create a passive wind to create an area with thinner air at a low altitude. The wind will continuously blow the air in that place outwards, and the air will become thinner and thinner. In order to replenish the air in that area, nature itself will continuously drop air from the sky to form a downdraft.
Viserys decided to rely on this amplification, use the power of "song", consume magic power, and gradually guide the high-pressure center he created to Euron's preset battlefield.
At that time, two unscientific air pressures will meet on the battlefield.
And then, Viserys had seen what happened then, when the two unscientific air masses met.
On the western coast of Westeros, in the storm that lands from the west, there will be easterly winds stronger than anyone could imagine.
