Game of Thrones: The Bronze and Fire Lord.

Chapter 192: King's Landing Reaction, Breaking into Sunspear
Not to mention making life difficult for the Iron Throne.

The blockade of the shipping routes alone would cut off Sunspear City's maritime trade with the Strait of Mir, and most necessities such as salt, iron, and cloth would be in short supply.

It’s like having your life held in someone’s hands.

Prince Kooren is no fool and will definitely intervene.

Aemon clicked his tongue, his eyes slightly cold.

Attacking Dorne is the politically correct thing for the Targaryen family.

"Recently, the Dorne fleet has been constantly probing the Stepstone Islands, posing a great threat to the rear."

Lannar was quite helpless.

This behavior is just like a toad lying on your feet. It doesn't bite you, but it's annoying.

"I'll take care of this."

Aemon understood that if he wanted to capture Myr, he must first eliminate Dorne's surveillance.

According to his plan.

He was not afraid of Dorne's attack, which resulted in him being attacked from both sides.

But he didn't want to lose the Stone Steps Archipelago, so he should minimize the losses.

After the discussion, everyone went back to their rooms.

Lanino, who was left out: ...

Doesn't anyone care about him?

……

King's Landing.

"Quack quack..."

A flock of white seabirds flew by. The weather in King's Landing in August was pleasant.

Viserys looked out the window and smiled:
"Winter is over, and it's another good year of harvest."

The doctors at the Citadel have predicted that there will be short winters in the next few years.

As long as they prepare in advance, the people can spend the winter safely.

After winter comes a summer that is hotter than in previous years.

The land can produce more food.

"so good!"

Viserys looked happy.

His grandfather's throne was passed to him, and he lived up to his grandfather's expectations.

dong dong!

There was a knock on the hall door and the ministers came in one after another.

News came from the Shijie Islands, and an impromptu imperial meeting was convened.

"Everyone, take a seat."

Viserys greeted and sat down in the main seat first.

"Father."

Rainier smiled, walked around to the main seat and kissed her father's cheek affectionately.

"You stink of dragons. Are you riding a dragon again?"

Viserys sniffed and spoke harshly.

"Teach Helena and the others dragon taming techniques. They will need them in the future."

Rhaenyra smiled and returned to her seat.

"You always have an excuse."

Viserys was doting in his heart and acquiesced to this.

How long.

My daughter has never been close to him like this.

When did it recover?

It seemed like this was a time when Allison was a little silent.

The ministers took their seats, and Prime Minister Leonor was the first to speak:
"Your Majesty, Prince Aemon has returned from Slaver's Bay, bringing back fifty ships of silk, spices and other valuables, which are of considerable value."

Rhaenyra interjected. "Aemon has brought eight shiploads of cargo to Mudgate. I have sent men to take possession of them and bring them to the treasury for entry."

"I can attest to that."

Old man Lin Man raised his hand and finally caught up.

Rhaenyra smiled sweetly at him.

This is fair teammate matching.

"Are there so many?"

Viserys was confused and dazed.

Fifty ships of cargo, what does that mean?
Let's say that.

Sea Snake made nine voyages, and made a small profit or even broke even in the first few.

Only one last voyage was made to Asshai, during which twenty new ships were purchased from Qarth and loaded with local spices, elephants, and the finest silks.

Some of them were lost on the way back, but the rare treasures brought back alone made the Velaryon family's wealth rank first in Westeros.

Even richer than the Lannisters and Hightowers.

Viserys's head was buzzing. He covered his forehead and muttered to himself, "Gods! This kid must have plundered the Slaver's Bay to bring back so many goods."

Leonor was speechless and whispered, "Your Majesty, you guessed right."

Not only did they plunder the Slave Bay, but they also turned Astapor upside down.

An entire slave trading city-state enriches one man.

It's no surprise that Prince Aemon was able to bring back so many ships' worth of cargo.

"According to reliable information, there are fifty ships carrying five thousand Unsullied and three thousand strong slaves."

Otto's eyes were deep as he turned the stone ball on the table.

"You said he traded in slaves?"

Viserys was startled at this.

"Everyone believes that this is not a groundless rumor."

Otto answered in the affirmative.

Viserys frowned deeply, weighing the pros and cons of the matter.

He had already learned from Leonor about the "big things" that Aemon had done in Slaver's Bay!
He liberated the two city-states of Astapor and New Ghis and was hailed as the "Breaker of Shackles" by the local residents.

"Father, those are not slaves, they are free men he has liberated."

Rhaenyra frowned.

She knew that her father was getting stuck in an unimportant issue again.

"Uh……"

Viserys thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "You are right. Aemon did nothing wrong."

Although liberating the slave city-states might bring retaliation from Meereen and Yunkai, who are also in the Slave Bay.

But the continent of Westeros is tens of millions of miles away from the Slaver's Bay.

He didn't panic at all.

Seeing this, Otto shut up silently.

At some point, the Imperial Council split into two factions.

It is better to say less about some things, so as not to anger the king.

Viserys was delighted with the goods his nephew had sent, which must be worth many gold royals.

Banquets and tournaments could be held again.

"Cough cough."

He coughed twice and talked about business: "The three women are in a state of domestic unrest and weakness, and the Dornishmen are interfering. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, my advice is to wait and see."

Leonor answered.

The kingdom has no reason to attack the free trade city-states, nor can it afford such a high price.

Instead of worrying about the losses in war, it is better to play it safe.

Viserys nodded slightly in approval.

He doesn't want war unless it's absolutely necessary.

Rhaenyra pursed her lips and said nothing.

She is a radical who believes that passive defense is inferior to active offense.

The Three Kingdoms can attack the Iron Throne, and the Iron Throne can also attack the Three Kingdoms.

Unfortunately, she knew her father would not agree.

"Your Majesty, Prince Oberyn of Dorne has been very active recently."

Tailan took the opportunity to speak.

"Oh?"

Viserys was amazed.

Tyran said: "Prince Aemon has occupied the Stepstones. The geographical location of the desolate islands is too important. The Dornish will not sit idly by."

Leonor frowned and said, "The kingdom cannot abandon the Stepstone Islands, otherwise the situation will only worsen."

In the past, the king was cautious, and the three women's kingdoms were watching closely. The kingdom never recovered the Stone Steps Islands.

With Prince Aemon rising strongly at home and the infighting among the three daughters abroad, it is a golden opportunity to completely occupy the Stone Steps Archipelago.

"Yes, it was I who asked Aemon to conquer the Stepstones."

Viserys patted his chest and defended his nephew.

Tyran hesitated: "Everyone knows the situation in the Disputed Lands. Prince Aemon is sharpening his sword, and the Dornish will inevitably fight hard, which will lead to a bigger war."

The Dornish have always sought peace through struggle.

Once the war breaks out, the kingdom will be plunged into chaos again.

Hearing this, Viserys silently twirled the emerald ring.

Occupying the Stone Steps Islands is to ensure the stability of the lower half of the strait.

But if Dorne invades, both the Reach and the Stormlands will be plunged into war.

No profit!
"Father, we can't back down."

Rhaenyra hastened to remind.

Viserys nodded. "You are right. It is not right to spit out what you put into your mouth."

The Dornish want to fight, and no concessions can stop them.

Concessions will only make the other party more aggressive.

The Stone Steps Islands cannot be given up!
Grand Maester Meros said, "Your Majesty, Prince Aemon has gathered too many troops in the Stepstones. It is obvious that he is planning the same thing as the Sea Serpent."

"Attack the Free Trade City?"

Viserys had guessed.

Meros lowered his brows and said, "Prince Aemon's own army has nearly 7,000 men, including 5,000 Unsullied, which makes a great army of more than 10,000."

"Joining forces with the sea snake and the powerful dragon, it is very likely that we can capture a free trade city-state."

What he said is true.

However, Viserys frowned as he listened.

Ignore the rest and only hear one sentence.

"Aemon and the sea serpents have joined forces."

Viserys felt mixed emotions.

Damon and the sea serpent joined forces. Although he was angry, he was at most a little afraid.

He has high hopes for his nephew.

He would be sad if Aemon joined forces with the sea serpents.

Viserys felt a headache coming on and rubbed his temples.

Aemon was having an affair with Laena, and he couldn't sever Aemon's connection with the sea serpent.

This is a huge destabilizing factor.

Seeing the king's embarrassment.

Melos glanced slightly to the side, and happened to meet Otto's gaze.

The latter nodded and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the sea snakes have occupied a free trade city-state. If Prince Aemon follows suit, it will surely drive the Dornish people crazy."

They knew that the king's Achilles' heel was the sea serpent and Daemon.

I become suspicious whenever I mention these two people.

As expected, Viserys was in a dilemma.

On the one hand, the nephew should be honest and maintain peace.

On the one hand, I know that my nephew is not an obedient child and will disobey even if I discipline him.

The consequence of disobeying orders is estrangement between uncle and nephew.

"That's all for today, let's adjourn the meeting!"

Viserys was distressed and wanted to be alone.

"Yes!"

The ministers left the room.

"Father."

Rhaenyra's eyes were filled with worry.

"It's okay, go down and rest first."

Viserys did not even look up.

Rainier had no choice but to go out, looking back every few steps.

I made up my mind.

Send a message to Aemon the Raven later, reminding him that his father might betray the revolution.

……

Soon, Aemon, who was in the Stepstones, received the letter.

With a quick look, I immediately understood my uncle's concerns and my own situation.

“If you encounter a problem, solve it.”

Aemon was clear-headed.

Everything was going fine, but the Dornishmen insisted on creating problems.

Since you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who created the problem.

"Roar!"

Womisoer stood on the cliff, lowered his head and growled at the driver.

It senses the will of its driver.

boom--

It spread its wings and leaped from the top of the mountain, crashing onto the beach.

Aemon raised his hands to block the flying sand.

When the dust settled, Womisol crouched on the ground with one shoulder resting on the ground.

Aemon said nothing and mounted the dragon's back.

"Hiss-"

With a roar, Womisol spread his wings and flew high into the sky.

……

At noon, the sun is shining brightly.

A man and a dragon flew out of the Stone Islands and discovered a small Dorne fleet in the waters of Broken Arm Cape.

Aemon glanced at it and ignored it.

boom--

With a flap of his wings, Womithor rushed to the deserted Broken Arm Corner.

Entering Dorne, the ground is covered with yellow sand and golden.

Imon took out his fixed compass and confirmed the direction.

Just a quarter of an hour later.

North of the Greenblood River, southeast coast.

A tan city is located here.

To its west is a small sandy peninsula, surrounded on three sides by the sea and surrounded by three layers of curved walls.

The capital of Dorne and the home of House Martell.

—Sunspear
"Forward, Vermithor!"

Aemon took a look and gave an order.

Although Yangji City is called a city, it is actually only the size of a small town.

To the west, Shadow City lies in the shadow of the tall, curved walls of Sunspear. Its streets are dirty and shabby, with irregular shops and taverns scattered around.

"Hiss-"

With his cold copper-colored pupils, Wormisol flew over the triple gates of Shadow City and headed straight for the brown-colored Sunspear City.

at the same time.

Prince Kooren had just finished a meeting and walked into the corridor of the Spear Tower.

boom--

Suddenly, the glass windows of the entire tower shook, and the sky was blocked by a pair of brown wings.

next moment.

"Hiss-"

A gigantic bronze dragon descended from the sky and landed directly on the leafy forecourt of Sunspear City, its huge, ferocious head resting on the corridor of the Spear Tower.

Koolen's pupils trembled as he stared at the giant beast that appeared before him.

"Gulu~~"

His throat rolled up and down, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The whole body stiffens and enters the self-protection mechanism.

At this moment, the giant beast slowly lowered its head, revealing the dragon saddle on its broad back.

Yimon looked him up and down, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he smiled warmly: "Prince Ke'olun, what a coincidence."
