Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon.
Chapter 75: Current Situation in Seven Countries
Chapter 75: Seven Kingdoms
Because the merchant ship had been at sea for more than two months, there was almost no source of information for the seven countries.
So when Daenerys heard the intelligence Jorah had collected during this period, she couldn't help but be shocked, but she couldn't see any surprise in her brother's three eyes that were like a dragon-like furnace.
She was amazed at her brother's composure.
Viserys had told her, 'No matter how strong the emotions are in your heart, don't let them show on your face,' and she realized she couldn't do that yet.
But it's really not her fault.
Daenerys' last impression of the Seven Kingdoms was when she left Tyrosh, when the usurper's new prime minister was holding a tourney, and the intelligence Jorah collected was that people were discussing who would win.
During the more than two months of loss of contact, many major events that stirred up the continent occurred in the seven countries.
The little devil of the Lannister family was arrested by Catelyn, the wife of the Stark family in the North and the daughter of the Tully family in the Riverlands. The Westerlands attacked the Riverlands and war broke out in the Riverlands.
The usurper king was seriously injured and died by a wild boar while out hunting. It is rumored that his will appointed Prime Minister Eddard Stark as regent.
In King's Landing, Queen Cersei defeated the Prime Minister in a power struggle and arrested Eddard for treason.
The Northern army marched south to join the war, and the young Robb Stark won battle after battle and was called the "Young Wolf".
Renly Baratheon fled King's Landing and married Margaery of the Tyrell family in Highgarden. With the support of the lords of the Reach and the Stormlands, he declared himself king. He is gathering troops in the Bitterbridge area. It is said that countless lords of the Stormlands and the Reach lead their troops to respond to the call every day. He is the first person to claim the throne when there is a king on the Iron Throne.
Then, Eddard Stark confessed to treason in King's Landing and was sentenced to death by beheading on the spot.
Soon after, Robb Stark, the "Young Wolf Lord", proclaimed himself the King of the North in Riverrun and won the support of the lords of the riverlands. He was the second person to claim the title of king.
The third king was Stannis Baratheon, who insisted that he was the legitimate heir to the Iron Throne. He sent many people to various ports in the Seven Kingdoms and even the Free Trade Cities to spread the news that Joffrey, Tommen and Myrcella were the incestuous children of Queen Cersei and her brother Jaime the Kingslayer, and called on loyalists to immediately swear allegiance to him, saying that he was the legitimate king. The people who spread the word in various ports all ended their lines with "Fawning upon the Lord, the Light Shines". It seems that this "legitimate king" has converted to the Lord of Light.
Among the Seven Kingdoms, only the Iron Islands, the Vale, and Dorne have not yet expressed their stance and remain neutral.
This information is so shocking.
Daenerys was originally worried that Viserys might be in danger if he trusted Jorah. But after hearing this, she understood. There was a war in the Seven Kingdoms, and Viserys had an opportunity to gain advantage. He was the only straw that Jorah could grasp. The other straw was far away in King's Landing, and Jorah was out of reach.
But they only have about 200 people now, and they don't let Jorah know that they have dragons. Daenerys is still worried.
She turned to look at Viserys, who lay coiled in the room.
The only eyes on his three heads were closed. He rested his head on his body and was deep in thought.
He had been lying there since he was sent away from Jorah.
The information Jorah obtained came from the public, lacked the correct time node and precise location, and was also vague about the number of troops in the Seven Kingdoms, but Viserys knew.
He frantically recalled the plot of the original novel in his mind, trying to understand the current situation in the seven countries.
A map appeared in his mind, and he was constantly filling it with information.
He carefully thought about the battles that had occurred or might be occurring at this point in time in the original work, as well as the military strength of the princes and the actions of various parties.
The military strength of each king and the current war situation were roughly estimated in his mind. Robb, the King of the North, had about 50,000 men. He might be fighting on the Western Front at this moment, leading nearly 20,000 troops deep into the West, trying to lure Tywin back for help. However, Edmure Tully of Riverrun would block Tywin's return and lead about 10,000 defenders of Riverrun to repel Tywin's 20,000 returning troops. Roose Bolton, who was fighting on the Eastern Front, would only preserve his strength and harm the non-Flayer troops in the Eastern Front led by him.
Tywin is stranded at Harrenhal, perhaps writing letters everywhere, trying to use ravens and intrigue to gain victory.
Renly sits back and watches the infighting between the lions and the wolves, hoping to reap the benefits, but his end is about to come.
Stannis may already be on the move, sailing south to attack Storm's End.
Tyrosh was very close to Westeros, but Viserys knew that most of the intelligence Jorah brought was actually outdated. The movement of the army was never made public, and apart from spies and commanders in the army, few people really knew the exact number of troops in the battle, their location, and their movement targets.
For example, based on the current intelligence, people speculate that Stannis and Renly will attack King's Landing. Because they are brothers, and the Kingsroad is open to King's Landing from Bitterbridge, and King's Landing is under-defended, how can it possibly resist the armies of the Reach and Stormlands? Not to mention that the Dragonstone fleet can easily block the Throat and march to Blackwater Bay, so why wouldn't they attack King's Landing?
God knows how panicked Queen Cersei, Regent of King's Landing, and Acting Prime Minister Tyrion were with only 5,000 garrisons.
Tyrosh is still separated from Westeros by the sea, and it takes at least seven or eight days for news to arrive by sea, and it may take half a month or even a month at the latest, not to mention the possibility of a news blockade. And Stannis's whereabouts have been silent for a while.
Viserys knew that Stannis would definitely head south, and perhaps at this moment he was already besieging Storm's End, forcing Renly to lead an army to rescue it.
Salladhor Saan, a pirate from Lys, is a good friend of Lord Davos Seaworth, who serves under Stannis. He had heard that pirate activities in the Stepstones had decreased, so he must have been summoned by the Onion Knight to fight for Stannis.
There was a knock on the door outside.
Viserys opened his eyes.
It was Grolet, standing outside the door. "Sir, Ser Jorah has sailed for Dorne. I saw him embark, and I did not return to tell you until the ship had left the harbor."
Viserys asked, "Good. Can we leave Tyrosh tomorrow?"
"Sir, it will take time to load the ballistae and trebuchets onto the ship. We also need to purchase barrels of asphalt and tung oil for the trebuchets."
"These are not important. What is important is the supplies. You have an afternoon and an evening to purchase enough food for the merchant ship to survive one to two months at sea."
Grolai gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, we can set off tomorrow." He decided to pay more money and have the craftsmen install as many planes as possible overnight. Finally, the captain asked the question he had been suspicious of for a long time, "Sir, after we leave Tyrosh tomorrow, where will the merchant ship's next destination be?"
"Before leaving the port, tell the crew that we are heading to Braavos next."
"What happens after we leave the port?"
"You can ask me again then."
Before Jorah left, he informed Viserys of the whereabouts of a little bird of Varys who was in contact with him, but Viserys did not intend to deal with it. Because Viserys would soon have to hide his whereabouts and keep silent. And he wanted to keep the merchant ship away from the port so that it would be easier to control and ensure that his whereabouts and secrets would not be leaked.
So Viserys will not stay in Tyrosh for long. He will go to the sea where he can get first-hand information.
He must make sure he is in the right place at the right time.
