Chapter 203 Shocking news
The next day.
The early morning sunlight shines on the bedroom, reflecting dappled light spots.
Rhaenyra was wearing a loose nightgown and sitting on the balcony by the window.
She was holding a cup of steaming hot tea and looking out the window at the scenery.
A heavy rain has passed, and the weather in King's Landing is exceptionally sunny.
The weirwood trees in the back garden were swaying and the birds were chirping.
Looking back, Rhaegar was lying on the carpet and fast asleep.
There is a small white ball lying on the chest.
Rhaenyra took a sip of hot tea and watched this scene with tender eyes.
A sharp dragon roar sounded, and a young dragon with green scales flew out of the rain.
At this moment, Rhaegar fell into a dream.
A deep dragon roar came, and a giant green dragon rushed out from under the clouds.
That was a little boy, about 7 or 8 years old.
This boy's appearance was too familiar to him.
“Hiss…”
Seeing that familiar yet unfamiliar face, Rega's spirits perked up.
His short hair was messy in the wind, his clothes were wet, and the rain slapped on his face, making him unable to open his eyes.
Rumble —
Short silver-gold hair, light purple pupils, and a handsome yet cute face.
Suddenly, a sea reef appeared in front of us.
Rhaegar wanted to see the boy's face clearly, and his vision narrowed in accordance with his thoughts.
In other words, this boy is simply a replica of Rhaegar when he was a child.
The boy breathed a sigh of relief and raised a smile as if he had survived the disaster.
Riding on the back of a dragon, the boy faced the violent storm.
He seemed to have called the baby dragon's name, but Rhaegar didn't hear it clearly.
The body without the dragon's head fell down from the clouds and quickly fell into the sea.
“Hiss…”
The boy had a chain tied around his waist and fell with the young dragon.
The sky has become clearer, it is no longer windy and rainy, and thin clouds and mist are drifting.
However, she didn't notice Rhaegar's eyebrows furrowed in his deep sleep.
The giant dragon bit the young dragon's neck, biting it into pieces with a crunching sound.
next moment.
If not for some differences in expression, he would be almost exactly the same as Rhaegar when he was a child.
The young dragon let out a final sharp neigh and died tragically on the spot.
In the dream, dark clouds were rolling and there was a strong wind and rain.
“Hiss!”
The young dragon screamed in panic and struggled to soar in the heavy rain.
The young dragon flew fearfully in the heavy rain, flapping its wings all the time.
The boy noticed the huge thing above his head, his expression became frightened, and he kept urging the young dragon to speed up.
A burst of lightning and thunder passed by, and a huge shadow appeared in the sky above one person and one dragon.
After a while, the young dragon flew out of the reef community.
The boy wiped the rain off his face and shouted loudly to the young dragon beneath him.
On a vast expanse of sea, clouds cover the sun, and there is chaos between heaven and earth.
The shadow was several times the size of the young dragon, completely covering it.
Rhaegar was deeply shocked by the boy's appearance, and he couldn't help but want to find out what happened to him.
There is a saddle on the dragon's back, and a small figure is sitting on it.
The appearance of a boy appears before his eyes.
“…Run!”
The boy drove the young dragon into the reef community to avoid being tracked by the giant beast.
The young dragon rushed above the clouds in one breath, completely escaping the pursuit.
"No!"
Seeing this scene, Rega's heart seemed to stop beating, and he subconsciously yelled.
As soon as the voice came out, the dream began to collapse.
Rhaegar wanted to maintain the dream, but couldn't.
[Dream Vision] was triggered, and his perspective fell on the green dragon.
The body is strong and powerful, and the scales are thick and hard.
On the back of the dragon, there is a silver-haired man sitting.
Rhaegar couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but he could hear his wild laughter.
Suddenly, the dream shattered.
The outside world.
Rhaegar woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes suddenly.
“Rhaegar, are you awake?”
Rhaenyra's voice came immediately.
“Rhaenaela…”
Rhaegar turned his head when he heard the sound, with a hint of panic in his eyes.
He clearly remembered the scene in the dream.
A boy who looked 90% similar to him met with something unexpected.
“Shh! She's still sleeping, don't wake her up.”
Rhaenyra walked around the end of the bed and pointed at his chest.
Rhaegar looked down.
Helena lay on his chest, curled up into a small ball.
“I had a dream again, it was very bad!”
Rhaegar whispered, holding his body with one hand and sitting up, while supporting the sleeping Helena with the other.
Helena rubbed her head, her little face turned red, and she muttered.
Rhaenyra knelt down beside him and asked with concern: "What dream did you have? You're even sweating."
"yes…"
Rhaegar was about to speak, but the words stuck in his throat and he held them back.
He glanced at Rhaenyra.
Her eyes were full of warmth, and she wiped his sweat carefully.
"Nothing, a dream similar to Maegor's parricide."
Rhaegar spoke vaguely, then stood up slowly while holding Helena in his arms. He did not want to tell Rhaenyra such a cruel dream.
“Forget it, tell me when you want to say it.”
Rhaenyra curled her lips without worrying too much.
Rhaegar always has all kinds of nightmares, many of which are buried deep in his heart.
Rhaegar smiled apologetically, but his heart was still beating violently.
Place Helena on the bed and cover her with a quilt.
“Let's go out, we have to meet the Dornish envoy today.”
Rhaenyra opened the wardrobe and took out a piece of Rhaegar's usual clothes.
Rhaegar hugged her from behind and asked, "Aren't you coming with me?"
"where to?"
Rhaenyra rolled her eyes at him angrily and picked up the torn red off-shoulder skirt from the bedside.
Rhaegar smiled awkwardly and politely.
The sun is gradually rising.
Rhaegar had just finished dressing when there was an urgent knock on the door.
“Prince, something big has happened!”
Ilic's voice came and said urgently: "The raven sent news that the Stone Step Islands have been captured!"
"What!?"
Rhaegar shouted loudly and quickly opened the door.
Ilic stood at the door and reported: "There is chaos on the Stone Steps Islands. Lord Corliss is seriously injured. The king asks you to attend the royal meeting as soon as possible."
“Let's go!”
Lega clenched her fists and went out immediately.
He can't figure it out!
Does sea snakes have **** in their heads?
He had only been away for a day and a night when he caused a big mess.
Hurry quickly and arrive at the conference hall.
Elic opened the door and Rega walked in quickly.
The conference table was full of people.
Viserys, Leonor, Linman…
And Janey Ayling sitting dignifiedly.
One night passed, Jenny changed into a plain skirt, her long chestnut hair was tied into braids, and her face was still beautiful.
Only the eyes are a little red and swollen.
Rega didn't care about others and said solemnly: "My lords, what happened!?"
The Stone Step Islands War lasted for a long time and remained stable for a month.
You should not lose just because you lose.
“Rhaega, please sit down first, we are discussing.”
Viserys looked heavy and held the cup tightly in his hand.
Rega glanced around, sat in his seat, took the stone ball from the tray and placed it in front of him.
Jenny's seat was right next to him, and she smiled at him, her expression as normal.
After everyone was in their places, Leonor was the first to stand up, holding a letter and telling:
“Just last night, Lord Tyran teamed up with Weimund Velaryon, Will Manderly, and Christon Cole to plot a sneak attack on the gathering place of the Three Women Kingdom pirates.”
"This is exactly the conspiracy set by the pirates of the Three Women Kingdom, who ambushed Lord Tailan and his group."
“Lord Corliss heard the news and was unable to stop him, so he led his army to support.”
"finally…"
Speaking of this, Leonor's face turned ugly, as if there was a lump in his throat: "More than half of our warships were lost, seven thousand soldiers were killed, Will Manderly died tragically, and Lord Corliss was seriously injured and fell into coma."
In addition, the Bloodstone Island front collapsed and was plundered by the pirates of the Three Women Kingdom.
Our army can only move to Gray Gallows Island and barely resist.
After finishing his speech, the conference hall fell silent.
The losses of warships and soldiers were already a huge drain.
The most serious thing is that the life and death of Sea Snake, the commander of the navy, is uncertain, and the remaining troops of our own side are leaderless.
Viserys slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Where are the dragons? Aren't there two dragons on the Stepstone Islands?"
“Your Majesty, please don't get excited.”
Leonor compared the letter and gave the answer: "It's too dark, and the pirates of the Three Women Kingdom have prepared a large number of scorpion crossbows. Princess Rhaenys and her son Ser Laninor are severely constrained, and the dragon can't play its role."
From the letter paper, it seems that if there were not two dragons destroying more than a dozen pirate ships, opening the encirclement for the army.
Tailan, including Sea Snake and others, will be in bad luck.
“Bullshit! That's so stupid!”
Viserys was furious and cursed: "How dare Tyran mobilize the army without permission? This is a capital crime against military regulations!"
Inciting the army to march out without authorization is no different from rebellion.
What's even more annoying is that Weimond and others followed Tailan and acted recklessly.
Turn the originally good situation into a complete mess.
Maester Melos said slowly: "Your Majesty, the war on the Stepstone Islands is at stake. We should think about a response strategy."
"I know!"
Viserys was hysterical and shouted at Leonor: "Remove the title of Tyrann's Sea Lord and **** him back to King's Landing for trial soon!"
He hated this Lannister fool.
I thought Tailan would be wiser than his arrogant compatriot brother.
Unexpectedly, the kingdom's fortune was almost destroyed.
“Father, please calm down first.”
Rhaegar rubbed his face and sighed: "Lord Leonor, how many troops do we have left?"
The error has occurred and cannot be changed.
There is no rush to judge the sinner. We must first solve the dilemma.
Leonor replied: "According to reports, there are only a few remnants of the fleets of the Crown, Velaryon and House Mandela of White Harbor."
“The fleets in Jiuzhen, Qingting Island, and Haiou Town retain a certain military strength, with a total of fifty warships and 3,800 soldiers.”
Rhaegar asked: "How many supplies are left?"
“After the pirates plundered the Three Women Kingdom...there is not much left.”
Leonor sighed.
Not only is there not much left, it should be said that there is nothing left.
The pirates of the Three Women Kingdom are like locusts passing through the border, leaving no grass growing.
Hearing this, Rega closed his eyes and his brain was working rapidly.
The remaining troops still have combat strength, insufficient supplies, and the pirates of the Three Women Kingdom are eyeing...
After a moment, Rhaegar opened his eyes and said: "My lords, if the troops are insufficient, we must mobilize troops and transport supplies. The war on the Stone Step Islands cannot be defeated!"
Speaking, he looked at Leonor and asked, "How many more soldiers can be mobilized from the King's Territory and the Riverlands?"
These two places are closest to King's Landing, and the transportation of troops and supplies is faster.
