Inside the black walls of Volantis, the Consulate Square.
Sixty core elites of the Tiger Robe Army who had just been allowed to enter the Black Wall were surrounding the Dragon Queen and Archon Dofas, separating the curious Black Wall nobles from knowing the content of the conversation between the two.
The Tiger Robes are the guard army of the Free Trade City of Volantis, under the orders of the Volantis Archon.
Their name comes from the radical Tiger Party. Except for senior officers, most of the soldiers are slaves and have green stripes tattooed on their cheeks as a mark. The Tiger Robes are very proud of the tiger stripes. They wear tiger helmets and diamond claw handguards.
, elite troops wore plate chain mail or iron breastplates.
"Actually, the power of our Targaryens is far beyond your imagination. On my way here, an army of Matalis was defeated by my three dragons."
Daenerys announced proudly.
This was one of the reasons she landed in Volantis.
As the largest dragon, Drogon's flying ability is naturally much stronger than the golden and white Viserion and the green Rhaegal.
After setting off from the Pyramid of Meereen, Drogon, who was carrying the Dragon Queen, even flew a little slower in order to take care of the two little brothers.
And Daenerys only knows a little bit about the geography of the Essos continent. She only knows that flying northwest can reach Pentos, and then flying west will lead to the Narrow Sea and King's Landing.
But she also heard that something was wrong with the land to the west and even northwest of Meereen, where the strange Valyrian High Road lay.
In the northern Dothraki Sea, there may not be anyone for hundreds of leagues. If you go from here, the Dragon Queen will probably starve to death.
Therefore, the resourceful Dany chose to walk along the coastline, replenish food in Volantis or the Disputed Lands, and let the dragons eat before setting off again, flying over the Stepstone Islands, and then landing near the Stormlands.
For safety reasons, Dany controlled Drogon and flew some distance to the west and south, but unexpectedly encountered an army of Mataris.
This city-state is a traditional ally of Yunkai, and the army marching eastward is definitely not here to help Dany. After trying to persuade her to surrender to no avail, the Dragon Queen decisively ordered the three dragons to spit out dragon flames.
Then, amidst the screams of the Mataris soldiers and the crackle of the burning military camp, Daenerys rose up on the dragon again, leaving behind the camp burned into a sea of flames and thousands of scattered soldiers.
After that, the Dragon Queen and the three dragons stayed nearby for a day, waiting for the dragons to finish hunting and eat and drink enough. Then they set off again, heading west, flying over the land north of the ruins of Valyria, and then along the Devil's
After walking halfway, they landed in the east city of Volantis.
Drogon could fly for a whole day without eating or drinking, but Dany couldn't do it. The food and water in the package were all gone, and she didn't want to eat half-burnt and half-cooked beast meat, so she could only stop here for some food and water.
"As long as you leave Meereen with the Unsullied Legion and the mercenaries, we in Volantis can live in peace with the Dragon King family."
The rich Dofas raised the wine glass in his hand and took a sip of the wine.
For the past ten minutes, he has been negotiating with the Dragon Queen on behalf of Volantis.
The core demand of the three consuls is that Daenerys give up her dominance of Slaver's Bay and stop freeing slaves and breaking the shackles.
After that, the Dragon Queen can do whatever she wants, and the governor of Volantis even wants to support Daenerys in a fight with the Dragon Holders, so that the Western Continent will not have the power to participate in the battle between the Stepstone Islands and the Disputed Lands.
As a member of the Elephant Party, Dofas has always advocated trade to win, so he does not support the other two colleagues' idea of using force to retake Slaver's Bay.
This time the Dragon Queen's "visit" to Black Wall gave him hope. He made an agreement with the two consuls, Malachor Meguya of the Tiger Party and Nesiso Wisama of the Elephant Party, as long as he reached an agreement with the Dragon Queen.
If he has reached an agreement to withdraw from Meereen, he will not do anything extraordinary to her or the three dragons.
"You also know that what we Blackwall nobles admire most is the blood of the Valyrian Dragon King. Any member of the Targaryen family is our guest. As long as you withdraw your troops, we can even provide hundreds of galleons for free.
, come and send your army to the Western Continent, and let you take back the iron chair yourself."
Daenerys, who also took a sip of wine, smiled softly and said, "Watch your words. The Iron Throne is already in the hands of our Targaryen family. I don't need to take it back to sit on it. I am the owner of the Iron Throne."
."
Dofas looked at this self-righteous and beautiful girl in surprise. He even sat up so that it would be less difficult to speak.
"You don't think that you can become the king by riding a dragon, do you? You don't think that the dragon owner will just give up the king's position, do you?"
He pointed to the west, "That Arthur fought for more than a year just to become the King of the Seven Kingdoms, but you did nothing and just wanted to steal the fruits of victory?"
While the two were talking, the impatient black dragon Drogon had already fluttered his wings and left the black wall.
This unfilial son must have gone to look for food, but Dany glanced at the black dragon and ignored him.
Anyway, just the green dragon Rhaegal and the golden dragon Viserion are here.
These two little guys are much more obedient.
Daenerys touched Viserion's faucet with her gloved right hand and responded softly:
"What you say makes sense, but as far as I know, the Dragon Bearer is the illegitimate son of my brother Rhaegar, and according to the inheritance laws of Westeros, illegitimate children have no inheritance rights, so I am the real owner of the Iron Throne.
"
"As for the king's position you mentioned, I will convene a grand council of nobles in Harrenhal and let the lords choose the king themselves."
Dany's experience in Qarth and Slaver's Bay made her a lot smarter, and she talked some random nonsense.
Her real idea was to see if she could marry her grown-up nephew. Anyway, intermarriage within the Targaryen family was a tradition, so it didn't matter even if they were a generation apart.
Two hundred years ago in the Kingdom of Light, Princess Rhaenyra married her own uncle Daemon Targaryen.
Dofas thought that was what Daenerys thought, and he began to explain the Targaryen inheritance law to the Dragon Queen.
"I must remind you that the 101st Noble Council convened by Jaehaerys I has determined the order of succession in the Western Continent, that is, sons will always be ranked in front of daughters, and the eldest daughter will be ranked in front of uncles. You can't win with the Grand Council.
Yes, the lords will only choose adult men to be kings."
The origins and consequences of the Dance of Blood Dragons period have clearly and undoubtedly proven the succession of Westeros. Except for the bastard son, who is a dragon supporter, there is no advantage. In other points, the dragon queen is really no match for the adult nephew.
Dofas became very tired from talking for a long time. After he ordered the female slave next to him to wipe his sweat, he continued:
"So I still recommend that you bring your army to the Western Continent. As long as you have tens of thousands of troops in hand, any dragon supporter, Aegon VI, will obediently surrender at your feet, kiss your feet, and honor you as queen.
"
"We in Volantis and several city-states in the west are even willing to provide combat funds for you, the orthodox Targaryen. We also have enough troop transport galleons and military rations, as well as soldiers and military supplies."
Dofas was still trying to induce the Dragon Queen to leave Meereen with her army, but the other consul, Malachor Maegor, could no longer bear it.
As a member of the Tiger Party, he advocates violence.
In a secret room in the Consulate, he was having a heated discussion with Nesiso, another Elephant Party consul.
"The Mother of Dragons has brought the dragon to us, and the lamb meat has been delivered to our mouths. Why haven't we started yet? Have we had such a good opportunity in hundreds of years?"
Malachor stared at his colleague, as if this would make him make up his mind.
Within the black walls, the old nobles with ancient bloodline are now unable to eat and sleep restlessly. They are even afraid of the sound of slaves sharpening knives in the kitchen.
He continued to convince his colleagues: "Looking at the entire Volantis, it is slaves who produce food for us, clean the streets, and educate children. It is slaves who guard the city walls, drive battleships, and charge into battle for us."
"Now these slaves are all turning their eyes to the east, eagerly awaiting the glorious savior queen, the so-called liberator. Not only the old nobles cannot tolerate this situation, but also the poor people in the city cannot tolerate it. According to the law, even the humblest in the country
The status of beggars is also higher than that of slaves. Now the Dragon Queen wants to take away their last bit of comfort. Can it not make people angry?"
Nesis, who was born in the Elephant Party, was already dissatisfied with Daenerys, "You are right, capturing Slaver's Bay can only be considered a childish act, but freeing the slaves will touch our bottom line, which is the sea overlord Bra
Foss doesn’t dare to come over and ask us to ban the slave trade.”
The city-state of Braavos was founded by the escaped slaves of Valyria and slave-keeping is absolutely not allowed, but the Sea King of this city-state will not reach out to Slaver's Bay and Volantis.
The words he spoke made Nesis's thoughts clearer, and his eyes gradually became firmer.
"The two of us have been able to veto Dofas' proposal. Now let's gather the soldiers and leave the Dragon Queen and the three giant dragons behind first."
According to the known information, people with a drop of the Dragon King's blood in their bodies can get close to the dragon. Many nobles within the Black Wall have a drop of dragon blood.
Worse still, there are a large number of dragon-blooded people in Lys to the west. During the five thousand years of Valyria's history, dragon kings often flew to Lys on dragons to visit the Academy of Design, so the blood of the dragon-blooded people there may be more
pure.
So the two of them were not worried about the dragon's feeding.
Malachor nodded happily, "This is a wise choice. Catch the dragon first, and then think about how to ride the dragon."
The two giants immediately recruited military officers and began to secretly implement the plan.
Half an hour later.
In the square of the Consulate, thousands of heavily armed tiger-robed troops rushed in. The soldiers were armed with various bows and crossbows and large fishing nets, preparing to capture the dragon alive.
The actions of a large number of soldiers could not be hidden from the Dragon Queen. She noticed them as soon as they rushed in.
"I knew you were causing trouble."
The witty Dany immediately jumped on the back of the platinum dragon Viserion, holding her own small bundle in her hand and a cowhide water bag under her arm.
The enemy that just rushed in was still hundreds of steps away from the dragon, which was enough for the two dragons to take off.
At the mother of dragon's signal, the two obedient dragons kicked off their hind legs on the spot, flapped their wings rapidly, and flew towards the sky.
Of course, before leaving, the Dragon Queen did not forget the most important line of High Valyrian.
"Dracarys!"
Two dragon flames spurted out from the demon dragon's mouth and instantly covered the body of the unlucky Dofas.
The consul's carriage was not spared either. The slaves carrying the carriage fled in all directions. The sixty slave soldiers around did not receive the order to attack, so they only protected the nobles for a week and did not stop the Dragon Queen.
of leaving.
"She killed the Archon!"
"Leave her dragon behind."
Several black wall nobles shouted, and all the tiger-robed troops took action.
Although Viserion and Rhaegal had already taken off, they were not far away from the crowd, and hundreds of crossbow arrows immediately hit the dragon.
Most bows and arrows cannot damage the scales and thick skin of the demon dragon, but a few pairs of special Myr crossbows can still break through the abdominal scales of the two young dragons, and they only break through a layer of skin.
Daenerys glanced at the state of the green dragon and knew that this crossbow could not break her dragon son's defense.
It's just that although the harm is small, the insult is extremely high.
"Is it reasonable that a group of demons who enslave others, separate mothers from their children, separate husbands from their wives, and castrate innocent children can occupy such a majestic city?"
After seeing a lot of slaves in the square, Dany made sure that the arrows on the ground could not hurt the dragon, and then started to talk.
"...Under my rule, slaves will never be allowed to exist, mothers will never be allowed to be separated from their children, and innocent children will never be allowed to be castrated..."
After instilling some ideas into the slaves, Dany became more and more enthusiastic as she talked and even controlled the dragon to fly to the West City. Then she shouted in the sky for a long time and waited until Drogon, who had telepathy with her, flew back before leaving.
Xicheng, a hotel.
Janos Bracken, Lyman Darry and others looked at the Dragon Queen riding a dragon to the west, and whispered whether they should also pursue the west.
The big bear Jorah Mormont, who was three streets away from them, was much more determined. He ordered the mercenaries following him to pack their luggage on the spot.
"Our queen has gone to the west, we must find her and serve her."
…
King's Landing, Dragon's Lair.
Starting in the afternoon, the fighting lasted for nearly half an hour.
Wearing golden armor, golden swords, and a golden cloak, Arthur's spiritual connection with the dragon Alduin was restored not far after he came out of the Red Keep.
From this Bluetooth-like connection method, Arthur I learned that Alduin was not only not afraid, but also extremely excited.
I'm afraid that if Arthur came out later, Alduin would even prepare to light a fire somewhere other than the dragon's lair to burn the enemy to death.
But the king, who already regarded King's Landing as his own, naturally stopped this idea on the spot and ordered him to fly to the safer Red Keep.
Now that Alduin is not wearing dragon armor, there is no way to ensure that secular crossbow arrows cannot penetrate dragon scales.
The Peck soldiers who lost their target only persisted for a short time and then fled in all directions.
Anyway, it seemed like there was no west wall. After some of the leading soldiers fled westward, all the Peak soldiers scrambled to leave.
This made the king and his army spend a long time capturing the rebels, and it was not until evening that the situation in King's Landing was settled.
In front of the Red Castle, in the small square called Balerion, King Arthur I announced the punishment of the Peake family.
"The six hundred and thirty-four soldiers who have been captured are sent to the Great Wall to serve as night watchmen, and are escorted by soldiers from the Fossoway family."
"The Peake family deprived them of their title of viscount and all their territories. Their governor, Titus Peake, also served as a night watchman. He was executed immediately after he was caught in the Western Territory."
Titus Peake is still in the hands of the Lannister family, and the implementation of this article will be delayed.
"As for Star Shuttle City and its territory, rewards will be given to Count Randyll Tarly for his merits in suppressing the rebellion."
Brightwater City was originally inherited by Lord Tully, but the Rose Family interfered, so Arthur used Star Shuttle City to supply Horn Hill.
It just so happened that the two castles were not far apart, so Tully didn't have to separate his family.
