Game of Thrones: The Bronze and Fire Lord.

Chapter 166: Sea Serpents Conquer Tyrosh

Time flies and it is early December.

King's Landing.

Harold and others landed at the Mud Gate and rushed back to the Red Castle to report.

unfortunately.

A few days ago, the Red Keep received three letters from the Valley.

The content of the letter is compared with the oral accounts of Harold and others.

It cannot be said that they are exactly the same, it can only be said that they are completely unrelated.

Viserys was furious!
……

Red Fort.

In the banquet hall, princes and nobles gathered.

Today is the naming day of the second prince Emond, and a banquet is held to celebrate.

A long table was placed in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, on which were placed various delicacies, as well as a crispy roast suckling pig that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Emond held a bowl of fragrant pork and sat in a corner, chewing it slowly.

Helena was beside him, sitting in a chair and swinging her legs in white canvas socks.

"The prince's eyes resemble yours, your majesty."

"Yes."

"The prince is strong and will be a brave warrior in the future."

"Thanks for the compliment."

A group of people surrounded Allison, flattering her in various ways.

Allison responded with a smile and gentle but polite manner.

Rhaenyra was not there.

These are all forces that the Green Party can win over.

The children grew up, especially the two sons Aegon and Aemond.

Her status rose rapidly and her power grew day by day.

The other side of the table.

Viserys had a gloomy face. He picked up a few dishes and threw them on the plate, then ate them with relish without any image.

The force with which he bit the object was as if he was tearing his nephew's flesh.

Use this opportunity to vent my anger.

"Your Majesty, if it is absolutely necessary, we can use force."

Harold advised from the side.

"force?"

Viserys glanced at him and said indignantly, "Can you or anyone else go to deal with a dragon?"

That is the "Bronze Fury" Wormisol left by my grandfather.

Maybe you will have to face a silver wing flying with you.

Who can capture the person in this iron-clad valley while bearing the wrath of two dragons?

Harold bowed his head in shame.

"Don't bother me."

Viserys waved his hand, turning his anger into appetite.

The nephew was sure that he would not go to war, so he acted recklessly.

Imprisoned Otto and killed one of the Kingsguard.

It's simply outrageous.

Damn Damon!
A good son was born.

Viserys's eyes darkened as he stabbed the crispy dessert with his knife and fork.

"Your Majesty, you must give me an explanation."

A figure came hurriedly.

Viserys looked up in surprise.

The man was wearing green clothes, had golden curly hair, and had a dignified middle-aged face.

The most distinctive features are the sharp eyes and the big nose.

Count Hobart Hightower, Otto's elder brother.

"Your subjects have been captured. This is the greatest provocation to you. Are you still going to tolerate it?"

Hobart was furious.

He came all the way from Old Town to attend his nephew's grandson's naming day.

As soon as I arrived in King's Landing, I heard the news that my brother had been captured.

"Calm down first."

Viserys forced a smile.

"How do you ask me to calm down?"

Hobart was very excited and asked, "Aemon Targaryen invaded the Vale and blatantly rebelled. Are you going to sit idly by and watch?"

He has repeatedly submitted petitions.

The problem should be solved by force and the rebels who have been following the same lineage should be punished.

Seeing his aggressive posture, Viserys' smile disappeared.

Hobart was proud of his status and promised: "As long as you give the order, Old Town will be at your disposal at any time."

"Oh?"

Viserys couldn't help but sneered: "The towering tower is not afraid of dragon flames, but the soldiers of Oldtown have the ability to slay dragons."

"This……"

Hobart was speechless.

"Since you can't do it, please go back and think about it instead of coming here and talking nonsense."

Viserys was unceremonious.

Hobart's face turned pale and blue.

That's a dragon!
Who would dare to act rashly except the Dornishmen?

"I want some quiet time, understand?"

Viserys followed and cursed.

The clay figurine still has some anger.

He can't be the only one who has to swallow his anger in silence.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hobart took a deep look and stepped back wisely.

It seems that the king was really forced into a corner.

He doesn't even care about his dignity.

The quarrel between the two inevitably attracted the prying eyes of others.

Prime Minister Leonor came over and whispered a few words of comfort.

"That bastard has caused me so much trouble."

Viserys gnashed his teeth.

Yet, he even sent him an apology letter, completely shirking all responsibility.

It’s best not to go back to King’s Landing, otherwise he will suffer the consequences.

"His Majesty!"

At this moment, Tailan came hurriedly.

"what happened?"

Viserys had a bad feeling.

Tailan took a breath and saluted, saying, "I have urgent military information about the Stone Steps Islands."

Viserys's face fell.

Seeing the gazes of people around me, I have to force a smile.

Tailan didn't want to say it, but there was no choice.

"The Stepstones fell, the Velaryon fleet suffered heavy losses, and Ser Laenor escaped on his dragon Seasmoke."

"Escape from battle?"

Viserys was stunned when he heard this.

"Not really."

Tailan hesitated for a moment before finally summoning up the courage to say, "The sea serpent persuaded Duke Beaumond of Storm's End to send troops to attack Tyrosh at night and successfully capture the city."

Viserys's face suddenly changed.

"Notify Rhaenyra and convene an emergency imperial meeting."

After saying that, he walked out of the hall.

Leonor looked heavy-hearted as he followed the king.

Tailan gritted his teeth and went to find Her Royal Highness the Princess.

It's almost time for people to leave.

Allison got away from the crowd, wondering: "Isn't the sea snake seriously injured?"...

At noon, the sun is shining brightly.

The windows of the parliament hall were open, and outside was the sunny King's Landing, with the magnificent dome dragon's lair visible in the distance.

however.

No matter how good the weather is, the members of the Imperial Conference will not pay attention to it.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Viserys broke the silence.

This time, he was really anxious.

It was still acceptable for Aemon to occupy the valley.

After all, it was expected, it was just a little more excessive.

There is a family bond and an engagement with his daughter, Rainiera.

Sooner or later, the two sides will reach a relaxation of tensions.

But the sea snake Corliss is different.

He is an out-and-out ambitious man, the person who covets the Iron Throne the most in the Seven Kingdoms.

Even across Blackwater Bay, he could feel the jealous looks coming from Tidehead Island.

If the sea snakes were allowed to capture a free trade city-state.

That would be a real disaster.

Rainier sat next to Prime Minister Leonor, watching in a daze.

She had the same doubts as Allison.

Wasn’t the sea snake seriously injured?

"Your Majesty, the one seriously injured was not the sea snake, but his brother, Sir Weimond."

Taylan stood up and explained.

The internal strife among the three daughters began, and the three free trade cities attacked each other.

After Lys was defeated by Tyrosh, the eleven governors within the city fell into infighting and concentrated the war within the city-state.

Tyrosh was powerful and defeated the invading Myr again.

The Sea Serpents and Daemon died too early and became Tyrosh's primary targets of attack.

The Stone Steps Archipelago is so important!
In a melee, Weymond Velaryon was seriously injured.

Because the twin brothers looked alike, it was announced that they were seriously injured by a sea snake.

The enemy commander was bedridden, and Tyrosh's offensive became more and more fierce.

So much so that the Grand Lord of Tyrosh personally led his army into battle.

Damon is missing.

Lannir took command and led the remnants of the Velaryon fleet into battle.

In private, the sea serpents quietly visited Storm's End.

Lord Bermond Baratheon is Rhaenys's uncle.

Since the 101st meeting, she has been the number one supporter of the title of "Uncrowned Queen".

It was easy for the two sides to collude.

The Stepstones guarded by Laenor served as bait to draw the main force of Tyrosh.

Sea Snake and Duke Beaumond led the Stormland Fleet, bypassed Tyrosh's patrol fleet, and attacked the city-state at night.

When Lannino received the news, he voluntarily gave up the Stone Steps Islands.

This way.

This created a situation where the Sea Serpent and the Lord of Tyroshi were trying to steal each other's territory.

Viserys looked incredulous and asked excitedly, "Is it possible that the Lord of Tyrosh will just bite his tongue and accept the defeat, while Myr and Lys sit back and watch the fight?"

"That's the other bad news I came down to tell you."

Taelan whispered, "The reason why Tyrosh fell so easily was because of Princess Rhaenys and Lady Lanaar's actions."

Two adult dragons.

Any ground defense is useless.

Upon hearing this, Viserys's face turned extremely ugly.

House Velaryon has finally shown its fangs.

Her cousin, Melias the "Red Queen" of Rhaenys, and Laenare's founding dragon, Vhagar.

There is also Lanino's giant dragon Haiyan.

Every dragon can take part in the battle, and the lineup is as gorgeous as the three siblings of Aegon the Conqueror.

Lionel was surprised and asked, "Doesn't Princess Renis never fight against foreign enemies?"

Rhaenyra's eyes flickered.

Since the death of Queen Visenya, the Targaryens have not had a female warrior.

From the "Black Bride" Rhaena to grandmother Alessa.

Even though he tamed a dragon, he never participated in the war.

By Princess Rhaenys' generation, it was almost an unwritten rule.

"With a sharp weapon in mind, the desire to kill arises naturally."

Old man Lin Man kept shaking his head.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the meeting became more serious.

Viserys' brows were furrowed, and he exuded an aura that said, "Keep Away from Me."

Not having a dragon and having a dragon but not using it are two different things.

Cousin Rhaenys was worried about her husband, so she rode a dragon into battle for the family.

There is nothing wrong with this.

but,

Viserys glanced at his grown daughter, his mind racing with thoughts.

Syracuse is now of age and ready to go to war.

But Rainiera was just a girl.

Moreover, he was his designated successor.

"Rhaenyra, how is the progress of the royal fleet I asked you to train?"

Viserys suppressed his fear and smiled.

"I recruited 1,500 men from the Crownlands, the Riverlands, and the Stormlands. I built ships on Dragonstone and gave them some preliminary training."

Rhaenyra looked worried and added, "It may be winter this year. The recruitment orders for the Reach, Westerland, and Northerly Territory have been delayed. Otherwise, there should be more people."

"very good."

Viserys encouraged him. "Recruit more soldiers from the crown. Gather three... five thousand men first."

Since the nephew ignored the advice and started the Ashes War.

He realized that the defense of King's Landing was too weak.

An army directly under the royal control.

Must be expanded.

"Yes, father."

Rhaenyra responded sensibly.

Viserys nodded.

"Where's Damon? Why is there no news about him in the intelligence?"

The Stepstone Islands are Damon's territory.

"It's unclear for now. I heard that Prince Daemon had a quarrel with the sea snake and disappeared."

Tailan said helplessly.

If the situation in the Stone Steps Islands was previously chaotic.

Now the situation is very turbulent.

There are pitfalls everywhere, making it impossible to see clearly.

Viserys clenched his fist, rubbed his index finger against the emerald ring, and took a deep breath. "Write to Lord Bermond at Storm's End and tell him what's going on."

A duke of a territory disobeyed the king's order.

He could not punish him immediately, lest he should be completely overthrown into the Velaryon camp.

"Father, do you want to summon the vassals?"

Rhaenyra's expression was serious.

"No!"

Viserys shook his head.

That would be the equivalent of going to war, and the kingdom is not ready.

"Your Majesty, we must prepare early."

Leonor advised softly.

Viserys rubbed the emerald ring on his finger, as if he had made up his mind. "Send a letter to the Vale as well, and urge Aemon to return to King's Landing as soon as possible."
