Chapter 121
"No matter how old the dragons are, they will grow up sooner or later. It's a matter of time. We have to prepare early."
Varys' words made everyone silent. Dragons will grow up sooner or later. Varys is right. They must prepare early.
Lannister and Targaryen are mortal enemies.
The Wolf family rebelled because Aerys II burned the head and heir of the Stark family to death.
Rhaegar, the heir of Aerys II, abducted Lyanna Stark, so the Deer family had reason to rebel.
Only the sudden attack of the Westerlands was without warning, and even Jaime Lannister, who was the front guard, killed the king he swore to protect.
The Mountain raped and killed Elia Martell, and even the two children suffered from the Mountain's murderous hands.
It was because of this that the Martell family broke with the Lannister family.
In addition, Baratheon is now sitting on the throne, and there is also the support of Lannister, which can be said to be directly stacked with hatred buffs.
Tywin silently observed the faces of the people. He knew very well that none of them were loyal subjects, especially those with gloomy minds like Varys and Petyr.
After a moment, Tywin spoke up, and he first gave everyone a shot of adrenaline.
"Young dragons are not scary. We still have time to prepare. Besides, dragons alone cannot rule the Seven Kingdoms. There have been dragons killed in history."
"Daenerys Targaryen only has 30,000 troops and not enough ships. She doesn't have the strength to land in Westeros by herself. She needs allies."
Tywin continued, "Dorne is likely to have formed an alliance with Targaryen, but we have no evidence to take the initiative to attack. This requires Highgarden to strengthen its defenses at the border."
"Secondly, gather the maesters and study how to deal with dragons. Dragons are also living creatures. Even the most powerful ones will have weaknesses."
"As for Myrcella who was taken away, I will discuss with Olenna and send several warships to find the huge ship."
Now the Iron Throne has no navy at all. The navy that Robert spent millions of gold dragons to build was also destroyed by Stannis.
Now the only naval forces in Westeros are the Arbor and the Iron Islands. Both navies are extraordinary.
But the Arbor's navy is a little stronger, because the Iron Fleet of the Iron Islands suffered a heavy blow and has not yet recovered.
And this Arbor is also one of the overseas naval bases chosen by Jack in Westeros.
The Arbor is an island in the southwest of Westeros, ruled by the Redwyne family.
It is considered part of the Reach, separated from the land part of the Reach by the Redwyne Strait.
The Redwyne Fleet, the largest fleet of the Seven Kingdoms, defends the Arbor.
The Arbor is one of the richest areas in Westeros.
The wine of the Arbor is the best in Westeros.
The red wine produced here is extraordinary.
The Arbor also produces golden wine.
The wine of the Arbor is sweeter than that of Dorne.
The pears produced in the Arbor are big and sweet.
Merchants from the Arbor often sail to Qarth.
It can be said to be a very good place. When Dany attacked Westeros, he asked Dany to personally order the island to be ceded to Atlantis.
In addition to the Arbor, there are the Shield Islands, the Iron Islands, the Three Sisters Islands, Pebble Island, Crab Island, Tarth Island, etc.
Jack wants to control all these overseas islands. Even if Daenerys disagrees, it will be useless. Jack will make her agree.
The feudal system of Westeros has lasted for too long, and Jack does not want to interfere in the political power of Westeros for the time being.
But Jack will not give up monitoring and suppressing Westeros.
From Jack's long-term plan, Atlantis' influence in the world must be strengthened first.
Then colonize the major trading cities in Essos.
Finally, Jack is considering how to deal with the two continents of Westeros and Essos.
Because the area of the two continents combined is too large.
It is too unrealistic to incorporate the two continents into the territory of Atlantis before there are enough talents.
According to Jack's estimation, it will take at least fifty years to build an empire spanning two continental plates.
Then it will take a long time to stabilize the empire.
This is too long, so long that Jack is too lazy to think about it.
After the end of this imperial meeting, all the scholars in King's Landing were summoned. They need to unite to study ways to deal with dragons.
Among them, Maester Qyburn, who had treated Jaime's broken hand, proposed the idea of a dragon-shooting crossbow. He had seen similar descriptions in ancient books.
It was the dragon-shooting crossbow developed by the Valyrians, and it is said that there is magic on the steel sword of the dragon-shooting crossbow, which can kill a dragon with one blow.
God knows why the Valyrians want to study the crossbow to shoot dragons.
Perhaps it is because the strength of the Valyrians at that time had reached its peak.
Everything in the world was no longer in their eyes.
So they were full and went to study the dragon-shooting crossbow.
But this undoubtedly gave great inspiration to the maesters of King's Landing, and they began to study the crossbow in the direction of the dragon-shooting crossbow.
At the same time, Tywin also asked the Citadel to send some information about dragons in the name of the king.
After that, Joffrey also learned the news. Although he was a little worried about the dragon, he felt more angry.
For such a big thing, his grandfather Tywin did not inform him, but held a royal meeting in the Prime Minister's Tower.
Ever since he lost his temper in front of Tywin that day, scolded Tywin and emphasized that he was the king, he could feel that the ministers were more distant from him.
Joffrey was cruel and brainless, but in some things, especially when it came to his own power, he still had some brains.
For example, now, on the surface, he was sitting on the Iron Throne and giving orders.
But the one who was actually in this position was actually his grandfather Tywin Lannister.
All the ministers under him obeyed Tywin's orders, followed by his mother, and finally him.
This made him feel ignored, like a mascot.
An uncontrollable sense of humiliation burst out from the bottom of his heart and soon devoured his heart.
Joffrey, who was getting angrier and angrier, summoned Tywin directly to the throne room.
Tywin, who was a little confused, came to the throne room with his guards.
"Your Majesty." Tywin bowed slightly and saluted.
"Grandfather." Joffrey also greeted him.
"I heard you have something to do with me?" Tywin stared at Joffrey.
His gaze frightened Joffrey, but he still said, "I want to hear a report on my private council."
Joffrey's meaning was obvious, he was blaming Tywin for calling the private council without informing him.
If it were a powerful king, the Prime Minister would definitely be a little terrified.
But the problem lies here, Joffrey is a king without real power, and the Prime Minister is Tywin Lannister, the most powerful man in the Seven Kingdoms.
