Game of Thrones: The Bronze and Fire Lord.

Chapter 341 Occupation - Na Sa Star
half a month later.

Imon rode Vomisol, passing through the ruins of G. Doho, and arrived at Na Sa, where the Lorne and Na'n rivers meet.

Nasa Star is the city of Namelia, the warrior queen of the Loyna people. It is ten times larger than Gordoho, and its docks are large enough to accommodate fifty ships.

At its peak, it was known as the city of fountains, where songs filled the air.

However, during the Rhoynar migration, it was destroyed by the Valyrian Freehold.

Even the ruins of Nymeria's pink and green marble palace became a basking platform for giant turtles in the Lorne River.

At this time, the city was completely surrounded.

"It's Damon."

From his vantage point atop his dragon, Aemon immediately recognized Damon beneath the three-headed red dragon banner.

For the past few centuries, Nasa Star has been occupied by the Norfos people thanks to its vast urban infrastructure.

Norfoss is not the barbarian that people imagine, who only hides in the cold winds of the mountains.

They established themselves on Na Sa Star, increased control over the Na En River and the Lon River, and stole large amounts of fertile land that did not belong to them.

This is actually something that free trade city-states, especially inland city-states, often do.

The three kingdoms of women fought to the death over disputed territory, with Braavos and Pentos vying for land near the Andalus Mountains.

Norfoss, Cohor, and Valantis are also constantly vying for the land of the Golden Plains.

Norfoss controlled the upper reaches of the Nahn and Lorne rivers, while Kohor controlled the Chine River to defend against external enemies, with their sights set on the abundant resources of the Kohor Forest.

Valantis controlled the main stream of the Lorne River, but due to the curse of the Heartbreak Territory, it became a haunt of the Stone People, who were transformed by the Grey Phosphorus Disease, and its control came to an abrupt halt.

In pursuit of greater profits, bandits have been roaming the vast rivers south of Heartbreak Territory and north of Nasa Star, where Norfos is stationed, committing all sorts of heinous crimes.

The three city-states occasionally clashed, but they all exercised restraint, and more often than not, they oppressed the local Rhoynar people.

Because Royna was weak, he could still squeeze a lot of money out of them.

With these benefits, there is no need to incite internal strife between city-states and cause excessive losses.

At this time, Damon led several thousand Doslak cavalry to surround the Norfos garrison in the city of Na'Sastar.

These garrison troops attempted to put up a stubborn resistance, hiding a large number of crossbowmen and several small catapults behind the collapsed city walls, shouting provocative messages at the enemy.

But the situation will not improve as a result.

Damon sneered and ordered the Dothraki cavalry to charge. The low ruins of the city walls could not stop the agile warhorses, who easily bypassed the defenses.

"Ooh-loo-loo!!!!"

The Dothraki wielded their scimitars, performing various difficult maneuvers on their warhorses while uttering ghostly screams.

What followed was a one-sided massacre.

The Norfolk garrison's crossbows reloaded extremely slowly, while the Dothraki recurve bows were practically firing sparks.

Aside from the lucky ones who jump into the stream and climb onto the pre-prepared small boats.

The others, without a doubt, all lost their lives to the Dothraki scimitar, which looted their meager remaining wealth.

"That's really awful."

Imon clicked his tongue in amazement, patted Vormisor's broad back, and said calmly, "Dragonfire!"

boom--

Vormisor swooped down, its massive form disrupting the battlefield, its molten copper-like dragonfire pouring down on the Norfols' ships that were fleeing on the water.

The Dothraki did not go to sea, nor did they know how to fight on water.

If Imon hadn't stopped them, they would have gotten away.

After the capture was completed.

Aemon slid off the dragon's back and found Daemon resting in a place.

Damon had short hair, wore a full suit of black steel armor, and had a red cape draped over his back.

Sitting on a collapsed white marble pillar by the stream, his deep eyes seemed to be in thought as he casually chewed on a piece of dried horse meat.

He combines his innate free spirit with the composure of middle age.

On the contrary, it makes her even more attractive.

When Aemon arrived, he tilted his head and looked at Damon, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Damon saw him too, but only glanced at him before continuing to gnaw on his horse jerky, showing no intention of paying him any attention.

"hehe."

Imon sneered, "What are you pretending to be so aloof for? The veins on your cheeks are bulging from chewing on horse jerky."

The Dothraki's specialty, dried horse meat, is comparable to the rye bread of Westeros, which can be used as a stick, and is quite a workout for one's jaw muscles and digestive system.

He made a meal out of a piece of dry rations meant for military operations and migrations, as if it were a grand feast.

"Your Highness, it's a pleasure to have you here."

At the crucial moment, Lisandro appeared, travel-worn, and entertained Aemon on Damon's behalf.

Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person.

Aemon withdrew his gaze and said kindly, "It won't be long before my men escort Mor Aignon La here. Send someone to meet him."

"Don't worry, leave this to me."

Lisangzhuo patted his chest and assured him.

Just to be on the safe side, I asked who the person was.

Coincidentally, it was Torero and "White Bear" Harold who he recommended to Immen.

Even if they traveled by boat to Mil and set off at top speed, the army would not be able to reach Nasa Star in half a month.

Aemon rode his dragon ahead, while on the ground he only brought a ten-man squad led by two men to escort Mor, who was tied to the horse.

The team is small and highly mobile.

Immont slowed down, soaring over the Velvet Hills, and documented the topography of the Lorne River and its tributaries, and the golden plains.

Torero and his companion rode at full speed, barely managing to keep up.

Lisangzhuo was secretly pleased. He hadn't expected Imon to so readily give important positions to the people he had recommended, and his goodwill towards Imon had increased considerably.

He was initially hostile to Aemon, believing that as Daemon's eldest son, he was a natural threat to his grandson, Young Aegon.

After the Battle of Changhu, they were plunged into despair.

But when a hypothetical enemy becomes too powerful, to the point of being on a completely different level, that hostility and despair also subside.

What else can I do?
Of course, they should settle down in Ries, curry favor with their future successor, Imon, and prepare to make the Rogar family the first noble family in Ries.

With his grandsons Aegon Jr. and Viserion as his backers, he can be guaranteed decades of wealth. He should know when to quit while he's ahead to avoid disaster.

Lisangzhuo was keen to make friends, and Imon, of course, understood this and chose to reciprocate.

Soon, he learned about the events of the past two weeks from Lisangzhuo.

After Damon led his army to annihilate Corhol's army, he besieged the gate for several days. After receiving a letter from his brother Viserys, he chose to withdraw his troops.

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't intentional, I wasn't trying to pick a fight with Viserys.

Kohor is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the city has ample food supplies, so it cannot be breached in a short time.

Damon opted for a more ruthless approach, clearing out the enemy's defenses for Korhal.

They swept through the towns and villages under Kohor's rule, burned the half-cultivated farmland, and drove the disaster victims to the outskirts of Kohor.

After that, continue advancing into the Golden Plains.

Meanwhile, Norfos and Valantis, upon learning of the Cohort incident, immediately dispatched troops to harass Damon's forces and block the key passages of the river basin.

Na Saxing is one of them.

In addition, Damon also captured A. Noy ​​on the banks of the Geun.

That was also the ruins of a Rhoynar city-state, historically controlled by Kohol.

A. Noybina Sassa is small in area, but larger than G. Doho, and is surrounded by villages of the Loyna people.

Aemon nodded slightly and asked Damon, "What are your plans next? To take over Kohol?"

Damon looked up, glanced at him, and said nothing.

"You've changed your mind. You don't want to leave a free trade city-state to little Aegon anymore?"

A single glance at his eyes revealed what the other was thinking, which puzzled him.

"You're right."

Damon chewed the last bite of horse jerky, saying with a strain, "Kohol is not a good place. It's too far from the nest and not suitable for young dragons to grow up."

"Then why are you still hitting me?"

Imon used a cliché.

Damon seemed to have a clearer understanding of the situation and bluntly stated, "Korhol has what the family needs, while the city-states on Essos are like lowly people who never see the fangs of a true dragon and will never learn their lesson."

As arrogant as ever.

Imon frowned slightly, not quite believing it.

Damon scoffed, letting him think what he wanted.

To be honest, he did it for the sake of demonstration, to wipe out all the city-states on the continent of Essos.

The deeper purpose is to provoke war, accelerate war, and hasten the outcome.

Viserys, the older brother, was too weak.

If they relied on him, the Targaryen dragons would forever remain in the Kingdom of the Three Women, unable to fly over the Andalus Mountains.

But Damon wanted to conquer more land and leave more land for his descendants to be distributed among.

It just so happens that Kohol has produced a complete idiot who actually wants to go out and challenge him to a fight.

That's absolutely hilarious.

With such a good excuse to retaliate, how could he let it go?

Kohor is now acting as bait, luring Norfos and Valantis to provide support and weaken the strength of these free trade city-states.

A classic strategy of besieging a point and attacking reinforcements.

Speaking of territory…

The small town he established was sufficient for the time being, and there were also prosperous towns on the golden plains.

Aemon and the sea serpent are the same kind of people as him, and sooner or later they will take action against several free trade city-states. The current war is all preparation for the future.

"Norfoss and Valantis will also send troops."

Aemon vaguely understood his thoughts and analyzed them.

“I can leave you an army to defend against Norfos’s counterattack.”

Knowing that the Iron Throne army was still on its way, Damon drew a simple map on the ground and said, "I will continue to sweep south, capture Dagger Lake, and stop the army of Valanthi."

The attack routes of Norfos and Valantis were essentially the same: one went south and the other went north against the current.

The two split up and managed to wipe out Kohol's reinforcements.

Kohol, having been terrified by Damon, dared not leave the city and spent money everywhere to hire mercenaries for protection.

Imon approved of his plan and said directly, "Eight hundred people will suffice. Afterwards, Nasastar will be mine."

Damon hesitated for a moment, then agreed: "Okay."

His trading town was the real treasure; the ruins of the Loyna cities he had conquered along the way were nothing to him.

It is a pity that it is tasteless.

He gave it to Aemon and it was given to him.

"make a deal."

Imon grinned, secretly delighted at having so easily acquired Nasa Star City.

The most important city-states of the Rhoynar are Heartbreak Territory and Na'Sastar.

Heartbreak Territory, originally called "Chayorn," is the site of the decisive battle between the Rhoynar and the Valyrian Freehold.

Three hundred dragons burned the Rhoon River dry, and hundreds of thousands of Rhoynar warriors were slaughtered. History records that this angered the Rhoon River Goddess, who then cast a curse on the ancient Valyrian dragon kings.

This is also known as "gray phosphorus disease".

In short, Chayon is completely finished.

A complete ruin, with absolutely nothing of value left.

Na'Sa is relatively well-preserved, with numerous architectural remains in its ruins and numerous streams facilitating transportation, making it a suitable first colony for the Targaryens.

"Your Highness, please come with me."

Lisandro stepped forward and took Imon to select an army.

The Dothraki were all brave and fierce warriors, so there was really no problem choosing them.

With a scare from Vomisor and a proper reward from Imon, one can win people's hearts.

However, Aemon's attention was drawn to the Dothraki squad before him, or rather, to the commander of that squad.
