Chapter 219 The dragon will return to Essos
At night.
Red Castle, somewhere in the attic.
Otto and Larisse sat opposite each other.
“Harwin sets out tomorrow to rush to the Riverlands to put down the rebellion.”
Otto's eyes were like daggers and he said calmly.
Laris smiled shyly: "Harwin the Bonebreaker, my brother's reputation is quite great."
“Are you sure?”
Otto ignored his falsehood and asked directly.
"no problem."
“Seven hells! Look at my memory.”
“Rhaenyra, there has been no news from the Stepstone Islands. Please return to Dragonstone and dispatch the royal navy to patrol the throat.”
Viserys muttered and said: "Harwin is transferred to the Riverlands, and the city guard is temporarily managed by Otto."
Just each other.
“Yes, Aunt Rhaenys and Lannal are watching over her day and night.”
Rhaenyra was startled for a moment and said, "Father, the fleet has been patrolling the throat, and the fleet on Tidal Head Island has also contributed."
Looking at Otto's back with a smile.
Viserys sent the Kingsguard to summon Rhaenyra.
Viserys slapped his forehead and said helplessly: "How is Lord Corliss? I heard he is still on the sickbed?"
The two girls are the children of his brother Damon.
Viserys explained: "There are also royal guards in the Red Castle, with a total of three hundred people."
“When this is done, the Grand Master and I will recommend you as the new Minister of Finance.”
At the mention of the Riverlands, Viserys began to have a headache, and waved his hand: "Go down, and go to Tidal Head Island to visit Lord Corlys when you have time."
the other side.
“Don't be afraid, Otto is Allison's father, we are old friends.”
Representatives of the Three Cities Alliance are meeting.
Rhaenyra answered truthfully.
He felt a little awkward when he said this.
at the same time.
Tylosi.
Halwin is her loyalist and always follows her lead.
Rhaenyra's heart tightened.
Viserys was exhausted physically and mentally from the continuous bad news, and wanted to strengthen the defense of the royal territory.
After a pause, he emphasized: "And your two adopted daughters."
Composed of the original Red Keep guards plus Rhaegar's new Dragon Guard.
The nine cities in the Free Trade City have all received a letter from the Targaryen Dynasty.
Otto temporarily acting as commander of the city garrison was equivalent to reducing her power.
He didn't like the second son of the Strong family in front of him very much.
He felt like a poisonous insect emerging from a dark sewer.
Rhaenyra made a small calculation: "There is still a war on the front line, how many people can the king's army mobilize?"
Rhaenyra smiled and agreed.
The Royal Guard is a new team.
Laris was holding a cane and resting his chin on the back of his hand.
Otto glanced sideways, stood up and walked out.
“It's difficult, I'll leave everything I can to Harwin.”
“Otto!”
Laris lowered his head, his eyes twinkling: "My father and brother are so capable, they will not disappoint anyone."
“The throat is patrolled by a fleet, and the King's Landing must strengthen its manpower.”
The nine letters fell into the hands of the sovereigns of the nine free city-states.
Let's first talk about Dorne's refusal to send troops to sea.
The issue of poisoning was discussed again.
Poisoning is the most straightforward solution.
But it remains to be discussed.
The old man in brocade robes said: "The kid who terrorized Targaryen today has been given a holiday and can prepare for a sneak attack."
“Three thousand Unsullied have been purchased and are waiting at the port.”
Lissandra Royce played with a whip.
There are many similar whips.
Several representatives present each held one.
While talking, an attendant hurriedly came over and handed a letter to the old man in brocade robes.
After this attendant left, two more attendants came.
The same letter was placed on the desks of representatives Lysandra Royce and Mill.
The three of them opened the letter and read it as they pleased.
Soon, their faces changed, showing signs of shock and anger.
“Arrogant! Does he want to start a war between two continents?”
The old man in brocade robe was furious, balled up the letter and threw it out.
Lissandra sat on the chair with a solemn expression.
The letter reads:
“The Three Cities Alliance invaded the Stepstone Islands, plundered the people of the Seven Kingdoms, and poisoned the heir to the Iron Throne…”
“From Rhaegar Targaryen, eldest son of Viserys I and heir to the Iron Throne…”
“Seven days later, the Three Cities Alliance will not withdraw from the Stepstone Islands, but will march to Tyrosh…”
The last line of the letter is written in a thick and colorful stroke.
“If anyone tries to awaken the wrath of the sleeping dragon, Targaryen will respond with blood and fire!”
The letter ends here.
The old man in brocade robes was shocked and angry: "The Targaryen boy wants to invade Tyrosh, where does he have the courage!?"
In the Three Cities Alliance.
Mir is a seaside city, and the city-state is on the seaside.
Tylosi and Lys are island countries separated from the mainland by the sea.
Lys is near Volantis, on the Summer Sea.
Tyrosh is on the edge of the Chaos Lands, closest to the Stepstone Islands.
The war book states that the invasion of Tyrosh is very likely.
Lissandra frowned and said with a headache: "The letter should be spread throughout the Free Trade City. Send people to contact you as soon as possible to win some allies."
“Who will help us!?”
The old man in brocade robes said excitedly: "Braavos is at war with us and is still at war with Pentos."
"Volantis is an invader and wishes we were destroyed by dragons." "Qohor and Norvos are inland city-states that are constantly invaded by the Dothraki."
“Loras is the furthest away, poor and rotten, and doesn't even have a decent army.”
The reason why the Three Women's Kingdom was so rampant that they invaded the Stepped Stone Islands and plundered ships all over the world.
It is because they are already the strongest interest group in Essos.
When something happens to them, others will just applaud.
Won't help.
Lissandra was choked by him and his face turned black. He said coldly: "Dorne refused to send troops to the sea and did not win over other city-states. We have no allies."
The swarthy fat man on behalf of Myr said: "You two, the return of the dragon to Essos is not a matter for our three city-states. Braavos and the others will think about it carefully."
The Free Fortress Empire of Old Valyria fell just over three hundred years ago.
The people on the continent of Essos still have the fear of dragons.
Xiao Zhi is moved by emotion and moved by reason.
Perhaps we can get support.
“Don't expect too much.”
Lissandra thought deeply: "The declaration of war may just be the personal decision of the young prince. The king on the Iron Throne is famously weak. We can send a letter to dissuade him."
The Stepstone Islands are located in the disputed area.
Not of Westeros, nor of Essos.
There is no problem in the war between the two sides on the Stepstone Islands.
If the demonic dragon lands in the Free Trade City, it will be another matter.
“Great idea, it's important, I'll write a letter right away.”
The swarthy fat man immediately agreed, picked up the whip and ran out of the conference room.
The old man in brocade robes acted very angry, but in fact he was uneasy.
Toughly said: "Just in case, the Unsullied must be stationed in Tyrosh, and scorpion crossbows must be installed at the port and every tower."
Lissandra frowned.
After thinking about it, Tyrosh was the one who bore the brunt of the attack.
He had no objection.
Chaotou Island.
In the dark night, a huge object broke through the dark clouds, revealing the obscured crescent moon.
Under the moonlight.
Glutton is as black as coal, with green vertical pupils overlooking the island below.
A familiar open space.
The dark green Vhagar lay on the ground, closing his eyes and falling asleep.
Change direction.
In a piece of Gobi desert next to the beach, a giant scarlet dragon crouched.
Rhaegar glanced over and recognized Coraxio.
After the dragon dance, Colakxiu was seriously injured.
His body was covered in bruises and one wing was torn off.
Colakxiu will not be able to fly until his wings recover.
Seems to feel Rhaegar's gaze.
Colakxiu dragged one wing and twisted his slender body into the depths of the Gobi.
The once majestic blood worms became reptiles.
“Glutton, land.”
Rhaegar ignored it and sent the glutton flying towards Climax City.
Land and enter the castle.
Rhaenys and Lannar were welcomed in person by mother and daughter.
After a few pleasantries, Rega went straight to the topic.
Speaking of the Three Women's Kingdom's declaration of war, he decided to attack Tyrosh.
“I'll go get the child.”
Lannaer suppressed her smile and looked for an excuse to get away.
She has a special status.
She is both the daughter of House Velaryon and the wife of Daemon.
Don't want to get involved in too many wars.
Rhaegar frowned slightly, but he didn't expect Lanner to stay out of the situation.
“Leave her alone and tell her why you're here.”
Rhaenys looked unhappy.
Rhaegar said bluntly: "The most important thing to attack Tyrosh is the dragon. I hope all three dragons of Velaryon will be dispatched."
"impossible!"
Rhaenys refused flatly and said seriously: "The surname Targaryen is sensitive and cannot appear in Essos in the name of an invader."
They are the Dragon King family.
More than three hundred years ago, Old Valyria conquered most of the continent of Essos.
The invasion of the Three Women's Kingdom by the demonic dragon is likely to cause a backlash across the entire Free Trade City.
Anticipating the rejection, Rhaegar patiently explained: "The Three Women's Kingdom has made all efforts. As long as we attack a city-state, they will defeat themselves."
He has investigated the situation in the Free Cities.
Volantis has a feud with the Three Women.
Other castles are either in turmoil or unable to defend themselves.
Three Women's Kingdom cannot win over allies.
“Rhaega, your strategic vision is excellent, I don't deny that.”
Rhaenys said firmly: "But I will not help you, and your father will not approve your decision."
She knows her cousin too well.
The War on the Stepstones had exhausted Viserys's courage and patience.
It is simply a dream to risk the possibility of becoming an enemy of the entire Free Trade City to attack the Three Women Country.
Rhaegar continued to fight: "The Three Women's Kingdom is the great enemy of the Velaryon family. Can't I resist the risk?"
Rhaenys shook her head: "You represent not only yourself, but also the entire Seven Kingdoms. As the prince of the dragon clan, I am opposed to your adventurous move."
Speaking, Rhaenys sighed: "I still have to take care of Corliss, and Lannar has to feed the children. You can do it yourself."
“Auntie, this battle is inevitable!”
Rhaegar's eyes flickered and he left with a puff of sleeves.
He wants to return to King's Landing and ask for his father's permission.
By the way, raise soldiers and armor.
After he left, Rhaenys found Lannal who was breastfeeding the child.
"You should promise him to redeem Daemon."
Rhaenys folded her arms and leaned against the door frame.
“The king still misses the old friendship, and I don't want to waste any more time.”
Lanner shook her head, a shrewd look flashed in her eyes.
