Chapter 219 The dragon will return to Essos

at night.

The Red Keep, an attic somewhere.

Otto and Larisse sat opposite each other.

"Halwin 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: "Bonecrusher Harwin, my brother has quite a reputation."

"Are you sure?"

Otto ignored his falsehood and asked directly.

"no problem."

Laris lowered his head and his eyes flickered: "My father and brother are so capable, they will not disappoint anyone."

"When the matter is completed, the Grand Master and I will recommend you as the new Minister of Finance."

Otto glanced sideways, stood up and walked out.

He didn't like the second son of the Strong family in front of him very much.

It made him feel like a poisonous insect emerging from a dark sewer.

Larisse held the cane and rested his chin on the back of his hand.

He looked at Otto's back with a smile.

Just each other.

…

the other side.

Viserys sent the Kingsguard to summon Rhaenyra.

"Rhaenyra, there has been no news from the Stepstone Islands. Please return to Dragonstone and dispatch the royal navy to patrol the throat."

The continuous bad news made Viserys exhausted physically and mentally, and he wanted to strengthen the defense of the king's territory.

Rhaenyra was stunned for a moment and said, "Father, the fleet has been patrolling the throat, and the fleet on Tidehead Island has also contributed."

"Seven Hells! Look at my memory."

Viserys slapped his forehead and said helplessly: "How is Lord Corliss? I heard he is still on the sickbed?"

"Yes, Aunt Rhaenys and Lannal will take care of it day and night."

Rhaenyra answered truthfully.

"The throat is patrolled by a fleet, and King's Landing also needs to strengthen its manpower."

Viserys muttered and said: "Harwin will be transferred to the Riverlands, and the City Guard will be temporarily managed by Otto."

"Otto!"

Rhaenyra's heart tightened.

Harwin is her loyalist and always follows her lead.

Otto temporarily acting as the commander of the City Guard is equivalent to reducing her power.

"Don't be afraid, Otto is Allison's father, we are old friends."

Viserys explained: "The Red Castle also has the Royal Guards, a total of three hundred people."

The Royal Guard is a new team.

It consists of the original Red Keep guards plus Rhaegar's new dragon guards.

Rhaenyra made a small calculation: "There is still a war on the front line. How many people can the king's army mobilize?"

"It's difficult, I'll leave everything I can to Harwin."

At the mention of the Riverlands, Viserys began to have a headache, and waved his hand: "Go down, and go to Tidehead Island to visit Lord Corliss when you have time."

After a pause, he emphasized: "And your two adopted daughters."

Saying this, he felt a little awkward.

Those two girls are the children of his brother Damon.

Rhaenyra smiled and agreed.

…

at the same time.

All nine cities in the Free Trade City have received a letter from the Targaryen Dynasty.

The nine letters fell into the hands of the sovereigns of the nine free city-states.

Tyroshi.

Representatives of the Tri-City League are meeting.

Let’s talk about Dorne’s refusal to send troops to sea first.

There was also a discussion about poisoning.

Poisoning is the simplest solution.

But that remains to be debated.

The old man in brocade robes said: "The kid who terrorized Targaryen today has been given a leave of absence 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 they were talking, an attendant hurriedly came over and handed the old man in brocade a letter.

After the attendant left, two more attendants came.

The same letter was placed on the desks of Lysandra Royce and Representative 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 the 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..."

"The eldest son of Viserys I and heir to the Iron Throne, Rhaegar Targaryen hereby writes this letter..."

"Seven days later, the Three Cities Alliance will not withdraw from the Stepstone Islands and 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!?"

Among the Three Cities Confederacy.

Myr is a city near the sea, and the city-state is on the seaside.

Tyrosh and Lys are island nations across the sea from the mainland.

Lys is located near Volantis, on the Summer Sea.

Tyrosh is on the edge of the Chaos Lands, closest to the Stepstone Islands.

The gauntlet states that an invasion of Tyrosh is very possible.

Lissandra frowned and said with a headache: "The letter should be spread throughout the Free Trade City. Send people to contact us 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 the dragon."

"Qohor and Norvos are inland city-states that are constantly invaded by the Dothraki."

"Loras is the furthest away. It's poor and rotten. It doesn't even have a decent army."

The reason why the Three Women Kingdom is so rampant is that it invaded the Stepped Stone Islands and plundered ships all over the world.

It's because they are already the strongest interest group in Essos.

If something happens to them, others will just applaud.

Won't help.

Lissandra was choked by him and his face turned black, and he said coldly: "Dorne refuses to send troops to the sea and does not win over other city-states. We have no allies."

The representative of Myr, the swarthy fat man, said: "You two, the return of the dragon to Essos is not a matter for our three city-states. Braavos and others will consider it carefully."

The Freehold Empire of Old Valyria fell just over three hundred years ago.

The people on the continent of Essos still have the fear of dragons.

Xiaozhi is moved by emotion and moved by reason.

Maybe we can get some 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 disputed territory.

Not of Westeros, not of Essos.

There is no problem in the war between the two sides on the Stepstone Islands.

If the demon dragon lands in the Free Trade City, it will be another matter.

"Good 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 angry, but in fact he was uneasy.

He said forcefully: "Just in case, the Unsullied must be stationed in Tyrosh, and scorpion crossbows must be installed at the port and every tower."

Lissandra frowned.

On second thought, it was Tyrosh who bore the brunt of the attack.

He had no objection.

…

Chaotou Island.

Under the dark night, a huge object broke through the dark clouds, revealing the obscured crescent moon.

Under the moonlight.

The glutton is as black as coal, and its green vertical pupils overlook the island below.

A familiar clearing.

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 curled up.

Rhaegar glanced over and recognized Coraxio.

After the dragons danced wildly, Colakxiu was seriously injured.

His body was covered in bruises and one wing was torn off.

Before his wings recover, Colakxiu won't be able to fly.

He seemed 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.

Mother and daughter Rhaenys and Lannar greeted them in person.

After a few pleasantries, Rega went straight to the topic.

Telling about the Three Women's Kingdom's declaration of war, he decided to attack Tyrosh.

"I'll go get the baby."

Lanner 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.

I don't want to get involved in too many wars.

Rhaegar frowned slightly, but he didn't expect Lanner to directly stay out of the matter.

"Ignore her 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 Essos.

The invasion of the Three Women's Kingdom by the 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 destroy themselves."

He has investigated the situation in the Free Cities.

Volantis has a grudge against the Three Daughters.

The other castles are either in chaos or unable to protect themselves.

The Three Women's Kingdom can't 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 knew her cousin too well.

The War on the Stepstones had exhausted all of Viserys' courage and patience.

Risking the possibility of becoming an enemy of the entire Free Trade City and attacking the Three Women's Kingdom is simply a fantasy.

Rhaegar continued to fight: "The Three Women's Kingdom is the great enemy of the Velaryon family. I can't resist the risk, can't I?"

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 risky move."

Saying that, Rhaenys sighed: "I still have to take care of Corliss, and Lannal has to feed the children. You can do whatever you want."

"Auntie, this battle is inevitable!"

Rega'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 Lannar nursing 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.
