Chapter 237 The dragon has three heads

"Yes, Prince."

Gray Worm looked ahead and spoke briefly.

"Why don't you change your name so that you are no longer slaves?"

Rhaegar was interested.

The Unsullied are all little boys who have been trafficked since childhood.

At the age of 4 or 5, you should remember your real name.

Gray Worm gave the answer with a serious face: "My name once brought me pain and made me a slave."

"The day Lys fell, I longed to seek your refuge."

As he spoke, his chest puffed up unconsciously.

He stared at Rhaegar, who was accompanied by the dragon, with stern eyes, and said with admiration: "From that day on, I no longer rotate my name, and I have always been called Gray Worm."

"This name gives me the reason and courage to fight for freedom!"

Swish…

As soon as the words fell, the Unsullied struck their bucklers with their spears, looking up at each man and the dragon.

Rega's face was gentle, he looked at each other with more than 400 people, and he calmly scanned every Unsullied person.

He felt a pure essence from this group of different Unsullied Ones.

It’s called “Faith.”

They long for freedom and peace and place their hopes on themselves.

Gods old and new will not save this group of castrated slave soldiers.

But Lei Jia, who controls the dragon and burns the city, will!

Rhaegar Targaryen.

Breakers of shackles and builders of ruins; this is their only belief.

Retracting his scrutinizing eyes, Rhaegar lowered his head and chuckled: "An army that can be completely trusted."

"Grey Worm." Rhaegar called the Unsullied officer's name.

"Yes, Prince!"

Gray Worm took a step forward with a deep voice.

Rhaegar returned to his calm expression: "This counterinsurgency does not require too many troops. Harrenhal suffered a fire. You led the army to station here to prevent the mob from counterattack."

"Yes, Prince!"

Gray Worm accepted the mission and led the troops to join the patrol without any hesitation.

Rhaegar looked up at the sky and murmured to himself: "Riverrun, Blackwood..."

…

dusk.

Three dragons flew into the sky from Harrenhal and soared towards Riverrun.

The sun gradually sets, and the red glow falls on the flat and fertile land.

Rivers flow endlessly and farmland is endless.

This is the Riverland, which can be called the "Land of Fish and Rice".

Along the way to Noble Heart, farmland was looted and burned, most likely the work of rioters.

"Hiss-"

As they neared Riverrun, Glutton slowed down and hissed in warning.

Rhaegar lowered his head and looked down, discovering a massive camp.

The camp is not far from Riverrun City and is built on a towering hillside.

Defense fortifications such as watchtowers, arrow towers, and horses are all complete.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a winding stream.

Rhaegar only took one look and knew that the general leading the army was a strategist who was proficient in strategy.

The camp on the hillside is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you prepare enough food and grass, you can hold on for a long time even if you are besieged.

It takes a lot of effort to break off such a hard bone.

On the gatehouse of the camp, there is a noble banner with a weirwood surrounded by crows.

Rhaegar recognized them: "The Blackwoods."

He muttered, his impression of this family greatly deepened.

It must be said that the location of this camp was of great strategic significance.

Crowtree City of the Blackwood family is located west of the Red Fork River and south of Wildstone City.

Riverrun is located at the intersection of the Red Fork and Tumblestone rivers.

The Stonehedge City of House Bracken is located north of the Red Fork River and northeast of Riverrun.

The war between the Blackwoods and Brackens broke out on the north bank of the Red Fork River.

There is a fertile pasture there.

Harwin led Riverrun's army to defeat the vanguard of both houses nearby.

The Stonehedge of House Bracken was closer to the battlefield, and after regrouping, they attacked Harwin's military camp at night.

The route back to Riverrun is blocked by the forces of House Blackwood.

Harwin, Old Tully and others fought and retreated, and fled back to Harrenhal.

Currently, the Blackwood family has established its camp south of Riverrun and west of Stonehedge.

It happened to be stuck on the road that intersected Riverrun, Stonehedge and Harrenhal.

Not only did they not take the initiative to send troops, but they also wanted to become a troublemaker and interfere with the situation in the hinterland of the Riverlands.

The methods are despicable, but very sophisticated.

At this time, a fire was lit in the camp to make food.

"Hiss-"

The glutton roared and swooped past at a low altitude, setting off a gust of wind.

"Dragon! The dragon is coming!"

"Hide in a hole..."

The appearance of the jet-black dragon brought great impact to the soldiers, instantly making the camp boil.

The moment I saw the glutton.

The soldiers had no intention of resisting. They picked up the weapons at hand and dug into the holes dug in advance.

"Hiss!"

"Hiss..."

Before the soldiers could completely retreat, Menghuo and Syrax swooped down one after another, flapping their wings and flying over the camp.

Click——

At Helena's call, Menghuo flicked his tail deftly and cut off the flagpole on the gate tower.

In an instant, the three dragons took off again.

Syrax approached the glutton, and Rhaenyra, dressed in black dragon-riding clothes, shouted: "Rhaegar, are you leaving like this?"

When the gluttons swooped down the camp just now, she thought they were about to launch an attack.

Rhaegar looked down at the chaotic camp and laughed: "Let's go, don't use force today."

Three dragons flew over the military camp, trusting that the Blackwood family would make the right choice.

"Hiss..."

The glutton roared, fluttering its wings and flying towards Riverrun in the fast-flowing river.

Dreamfire and Syrax surrounded both sides of the glutton and moved forward together.

…

Riverrun.

A solid triangular castle built at the intersection of the Tengshi River and the Red Fork River.

The castle occupies a small area, facing the river on two sides, and there is a large man-made ditch on the third side to the west.

When the sluice is opened, the trench will be filled with river water, turning the castle into an island surrounded by water on three sides, making it indestructible.

At this point, the floodgates of Riverrun were apparently opened.

Water surrounds the castle on three sides, and the only drawbridge has been raised.

"Hiss-"

A dragon roar came, and the glutton flapped its wings and slowly landed in front of the water-filled trench.

Rhaegar sat on the saddle, looked straight at the garrison on the battlements of Riverrun, and said loudly: "The Targaryen prince and princess are coming, call Old Tully's two sons to come out to greet them!"

"Hiss..."

Syracuse and Dreamfire followed closely, landing one on the left and one on the right behind the glutton.

The three dragons raised their heads and stared at the triangular Riverrun City.

The garrison had never seen such a scene before. I almost peed my pants on the spot.

He ran down the battlement in a panic and informed the two young masters in charge.

Rhaegar watched this scene calmly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The Tully family is the Duke family of the Riverlands.

If you want to put down the rebellion, a trip to Riverrun is indispensable.

…

At night.

Stone Step Islands, Bloodstone Island.

The patrol ship patrolled the waters around the island as usual and arrested a small smuggling sailboat.

There were three people on the sailboat, all of them native Stormlanders from Westeros.

The three smugglers were caught. In addition to leather and barley, there were dozens of bottles of red wine brewed by Reese on the ship.

A smuggler knelt down and begged for mercy: "Sir, spare your life, we just want to make more money."

"Cut the nonsense, smuggler!"

The soldier kicked him down and spat in contempt.

Smugglers and poachers are at the bottom of the despised chain in Westeros.

"Okay, let me see what's there."

Two silver-haired and dark-skinned figures walked out of the patrol ship, and a middle-aged man's voice sounded.

The soldier looked back and saw Commander Weimond and his nephew Lanino.

Weimond glanced at the cargo on the sailboat, his expression as usual.

When I saw bottles of red wine, my eyes suddenly lit up.

The war lasted for a long time, and supplies were complete, but there was too little drink.

He couldn't get used to the low-quality ale of ordinary soldiers, and these high-end red wines were barely palatable to him.

"Take the wine away and throw the people into the sea to feed the fish."

Weimund raised his chin and waved.

As a Velaryon family that started out as a shipping company, the big fish eating the small fish is a special skill.

When the smuggler heard this, he begged again and again: "Sir, I have a pregnant wife to support at home. Please be merciful and spare my life. The old and new gods will bless you."

Weimond turned a blind eye and shouted at the soldiers: "Throw it down to feed the fish, are you deaf?"

"Yes, sir."

The soldier shuddered, picked up the smuggler, and was about to throw him into the sea.

The smuggler looked horrified and suddenly said: "Sir, I still have two bottles of Dornish Summer Red, a top-notch wine from ten years!"

"etc."

Weimond waved his hand to stop him and asked with interest: "Aged Summer Red?"

Dorne produces fine wine.

A strong wine, a rich summer red.

Once these two kinds of wine are sold, the warehouses are always emptied.

Very little aging is present.

The smuggler nodded repeatedly: "It's on my boat. Please accept my reward."

"Okay, bring it over."

Weimund was looking forward to it.

The smuggler broke free from the restraints of the soldiers, ran back to the canopy, took out a wooden box, and opened it to reveal two bottles of red wine as red as blood.

His eyes showed heartache, and he offered his help with trembling hands.

Weimond opened one of the bottles and took a sniff. The fruity aroma was tangy, an authentic summer red.

After closing the lid, Weimond handed the other bottle to Lanino and said with a smile: "Take it and drink it, it's an old wine."

Lanino held it in his arms and said happily: "Thank you, uncle."

He also hasn't had a good drink in a long time.

Weimond smiled proudly and said to the soldiers: "Move the wine, and you can handle the rest."

"Yes, sir."

The soldiers were so excited that they killed three smugglers with their swords and emptied a shipload of goods.

Before leaving, a fire burned the sailboat.

After getting a bottle of wine, Lanino was very happy.

Riding Haiyan, return to Bloodstone Island and find Aegon hiding in the tent.

"Cousin, look what good stuff I found."
