Game of Thrones: The Bronze and Fire Lord.

Chapter 111: The Targaryens Who Died in Mysterious Causes

Seagull Town.

An army of 15,000 men arrived, as mighty as a steel torrent.

The half-meter-high white wall seemed to be shattered if stepped on.

The news of the army's arrival spread early, and the huge city went into a defensive state.

Barkin Grafson put on a suit of armor and walked out of the castle under the protection of the guards.

"Seven Hells!"

Seeing the majestic army that stretched as far as the eye could see, cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

how many years.

Under the rule of the centenarian king, the kingdom maintained a long period of peace.

Since the young king Viserys ascended the throne, he has been adhering to his grandfather's will and governing the kingdom more prosperously.

Even the valley, which is known for its martial arts, has not seen fighting for many years.

"Hiss-"

There was a roar from the sky, and two giant dragons circled in the air, their broad wings like dark clouds covering the sky.

"God bless you!"

Count Bajin closed his eyes and prayed silently that the dragon would not burn indiscriminately.

Outside the white low wall.

Aemon rode a white deer and slowly walked to a location not far away.

The two deputies, William and Adrian, carried the flag of the second division and the flag of the Royce family respectively.

No need to speak, just close your eyes and count silently in your mind.

He wanted to see how long it would take for the other party to come out to greet him.

The last time he came, he brought only one dragon and flew it directly to Graveson Castle.

This time, he brought more people.

"one two Three……"

When the silent count reaches sixteen, the low white city wall opens its gate.

"Your Highness, I'm late!"

Count Bajin took off his armor and ran out at a rapid pace.

Accompanying him were a blonde girl and several attendants.

Aemon opened his eyes and a smile played at the corner of his mouth.

"Your Highness, are you here to help suppress the pirates from the Three Women's Kingdom?"

Count Ba Jin was very shrewd and came closer to ask.

"Aren't you welcome?"

Aemon asked back.

"How dare you?"

Count Bajin took two steps back and raised his head with difficulty.

Bai Lusheng is very tall, and he can't see the other party if he doesn't do this.

Yimon looked down at him and said without question, "Lord Bajin, our army is exhausted. Can we stay in Seagull Town to reorganize?"

"This……"

Count Ba Jin looked at the army of at least 10,000 people and hesitated.

Once you settle in Seagull Town, who has the final say?

"Difficulties?"

Aemon clamped his legs together, and the white deer circled around them leisurely.

Count Ba Jin followed, looking left and right, but ended up getting himself in circles.

Rumble!
The army in the rear suddenly took a step forward, their weapons and horses' hooves hit the ground, and the earth trembled three points.

"If you have any difficulties, just tell me and I will solve them for you."

Aemon stopped the white stag and stood at the gate of the white low wall.

He didn't try to make sense.

If you got hurt last time, you have to pay it back double.

Count Bajin forced a smile and yielded, "No difficulty, Your Highness."

We must go ahead even when there are difficulties; and we must go ahead even when there are no difficulties but by creating them.

Aemon glanced up and said, "River Valley is in urgent need of construction materials. The next batch of materials is about to arrive. Can Seagull Town open the port to let them go?"

"Of course."

Count Ba Jin lowered his head in shame, feeling that he had no bottom line.

"Thank you, generous Master Ba Jin."

Aemon spoke in a country dialect, a triumphant smile on his face.

The white deer jumped out, crossed the white low wall and jumped into Seagull Town.

Rumble!
The army in the rear, with flags flying, bypassed the "generous Master Ba Jin" and entered Seagull Town like a long snake.

Wait until it gets dark.

When the army was halfway in, the light of torches illuminated half of the city.

……

the next day.

Served by the blonde girl, Aemon ate his breakfast at a leisurely pace.

Her long silver-gold hair is naturally scattered, and her every move shows her elegance.

Without that bad woman Lannar, His Royal Highness enjoyed his meal very much.

Eat whatever you want.

"Prince, when will you go to Tidehead Island to discuss the battle?"

Count Ba Jin sat opposite and asked cautiously.

He was glad that he didn't annoy the other party last time.

As a result, after the army entered the city, it did not cause any damage or impact to Seagull Town.

Yimon had almost finished eating and took a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

"I will send a few vassals to go ahead, and then the dragon will follow."

This war was led by House Velaryon.

Chaotou Island is a must-see spot.

"Thank you."

Aemon handed the handkerchief back.

The blonde girl buried her head in her chest and her face was blushing so much that white smoke was about to come out.

Aemon silently moved his chair away.

His Royal Highness is a loyal and honest man.

Without Rainier's identity and background, women with stupid brains would be sold by those bad women and have to count the money for them.

"Yes, Prince."

Count Ba Jin had shrewd eyes and sighed secretly.

My daughter is so innocent.

It seems that His Royal Highness likes mature women who can control people's hearts.

……

King's Landing.

Red Fort, Parliament Hall.

"The pirates from the Three Women's Kingdom are causing chaos, and the Sea Snakes are reviving their forces and planning a showdown."

Viserys listened to the Grand Maester's report with a frown on his face.

"It's not just the sea snake family."

Grand Maester Melos put his hands in his sleeves and said slowly, "There are also the Celtigar family of Crab Island, and the Grafson, Shet, and Arryn families of Seagull Town."

The latter two are called the Shet family of Seagulltown and the Arryn family of Seagulltown respectively.

The Arryn family, who are ostensibly loyal to the Eyrie, are not vassals of the Graveson family. Upon hearing this, Viserys's face turned grim: "Another war launched without notification and without authorization."

Every similar war is a provocation to the royal family.

How long will the sea serpent continue to test?
Leonor lowered his head and advised: "Your Majesty, this war may not be a bad thing."

Someone has to pacify the pirates of the Three Women's Kingdom.

When the sea snake mobilizes its army to go to war, it is bound to suffer casualties.

“That’s also coercion against me.”

Viserys stood firm.

Leonor immediately shut up and continued to remain silent.

The king was sometimes shrewd and sometimes capricious.

A bit difficult to please.

Viserys glanced at him and asked the ministers, "Any more news?"

Justice Minister Jasper hesitated to speak and secretly exchanged glances with Navy Minister Tailan.

Tailan's expression changed, and he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I received news the night before that Prince Aemon had gathered his vassals in Runestone City and was involved in this war."

"Aemon?"

Viserys was stunned and asked in confusion, "How many vassals can he summon?"

Tailan touched his nose and stammered, "One or two thousand troops."

This is an understatement.

There are so many valley knights, including the war horses, there are more than 30,000 of them.

"How much? Twenty thousand?"

Viserys's face turned pale and he almost jumped up from his chair.

What is he doing?
Flatten the valley?
Finance Minister Lin Man raised his eyelids and exclaimed: "As expected of Prince Daemon's son, the population of the valley is sparse, and even Lady Jenny of the Eagle's Nest may not be able to gather more than 10,000 troops in a short period of time."

The flattery came at the wrong time.

Viserys was furious, and asked angrily: "Aemon has gathered 20,000 men and formed an alliance with the sea snakes?"

"I'm afraid so."

Seeing that the king looked like he wanted to eat someone, Tailan was a little scared.

"Bastard thing!"

Viserys was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He cursed without caring about his image: "He is as much of a bastard as his father, damn Daemon!!"

The last half of the sentence was almost shouted out.

The Sea Serpents are the greatest challengers to the Iron Throne.

The father and son successively allied themselves with the sea serpents and regarded him as nothing.

"Your Majesty, please don't be impatient."

Leonor took action again and comforted him: "Prince Aemon may have no choice. The newly developed prince's territory has a great demand for sea transportation."

As a qualified prime minister, it is essential to be familiar with all the affairs of the kingdom.

And being able to quench the anger of an angry king at a critical moment is an indispensable skill.

Sure enough, Viserys felt much better after hearing this.

He had heard his daughter mention it.

The nephew opened up a river valley and invested a lot of manpower and resources in it, even going so far as to capture strong men from the mountain clans.

This is all slavery.

If he wasn't his nephew, he would have been arrested and interrogated in the Red Castle dungeon.

"What do you think we should do now?"

Viserys rested his hands on the table, carefully observing the expressions of each minister.

Some people say behind his back that he is weak and incompetent.

Some people mocked that his imperial court was filled with good-for-nothings and ambitious people.

But who knew that after his uncle and father passed away one after another, his grandfather would leave him such a big mess in his later years.

Don't think it's impossible.

The wisdom and ability of any king in his youth cannot negate his weakness in old age.

Even a powerful man like Aegon the Conqueror died of depression.

Maegor the Cruel, stabbed to death on the Iron Throne.

It was grandfather Jaehaerys' turn. In his later years, he was suppressed by the Church of the Seven and the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms. From then on, the Red Keep became like a rat's nest with leaks on all sides.

The most straightforward example.

Did his father, "Brave Belron", really die of simple abdominal bloating?

As far as he knew, Reese had a poison that caused a similar death.

And his youngest aunt, Gary Targaryen, the Winterchild.

Gailui is simple-minded by nature, or in simple terms, she has an intellectual disability.

An 18-year-old mentally retarded girl was raped by a court musician and the fact was kept secret for nine months without any flaws.

Finally, she gave birth to a stillborn baby alone, and out of fear and sorrow, she jumped into the Black Water River and committed suicide.

Is this reasonable?

Why did my grandfather choose Otto Hightower as Prime Minister in the last few years before his death, and take his daughter Alicent as his companion?

Isn’t it because the Hightower family is very powerful and is the top family second only to the Velaryon family.

Since he ascended the throne, he has been exercising checks and balances at all times.

Daemon is a threat, drive him out of King's Landing.

The sea snake is still determined to be a thief and is kicked out of the center of power.

Otto had selfish motives and had been sent back to Old Town for many years.

"I will never allow the next threat to occur."

Viserys remained expressionless, but his hands clenched quietly.

quiet!
The conference hall was quiet.

Led by Grand Secretary Melos, the three ministers Jaspi and Tailan all bowed their heads and pretended to be dead.

No one dared to offend the king at this time.

Lin Man frowned, thinking about the solution.

In the end, the problem fell on Prime Minister Leonor.

"What do you think, Prime Minister?"

Viserys zeroes in on the taciturn Lyonor.

He still had an ally in his Conclave after all.

Lionel took a deep breath and said carefully, "You sent soldiers to help Prince Daemon before. You should also send soldiers this time to show your majesty and your love for your nephew."

"Very good, I'll do as you say."

Viserys's smile widened.

He is worthy of being the prime minister he chose, and they have a perfect understanding with each other.

Last time, I gritted my teeth and supported Damon, but I didn't expect that the damn bastard would be so rebellious and break into the enemy camp alone to kill the crab feeder.

He also almost beat to death the messenger he sent.

This time when his nephew Aemon sent troops, he couldn't offend his uncle.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Leonor stood up, marking the end of the meeting.

He tried to figure out the king's thoughts and then made his own subjective judgment.

From the royal family's perspective.

If a vassal starts a war on his own, the only way to deal with it is to stop him.

Prince Aemon is also a member of the royal family.

As long as three red dragon flags are displayed, the king will send reinforcements.

If they win this war, it will be a sign of the royal family's power; if they lose, it will be bad luck for the Sea Snakes and Chaotou Island.
