Game of Thrones: Roar of the Dragon

Chapter 115: Be prepared for danger in times of peace, a clever way to destroy trees

Hooray, hooray!
On the night of Jacaerys' coronation, a blood-red dragon shadow flew from the direction of Blackwater Bay towards the Red Keep on Aegon's High Hill.

Wormax, who was dozing in the royal gardens of the Red Keep, noticed something was wrong, flapped his wings and flew into the air immediately, sending a message to Jakaris.

After previous events, Jacaerys felt that the Dragon Cave was too far from the Red Keep and that dragons like Silverwing and Seasmoke could live in the Dragon Cave.

But Womax had to stay by his side, so he simply had the royal guards level the entire garden and pile up rocks to build a simple nest.

On the goose down bed in the king's bedroom, Jacaerys sat up suddenly, waking up Benilla beside him.

"Jay, what's wrong?"

"Damon is here!"

After sobering up a little, Jakaris answered directly.

There are three dragons roaming around now, Gray Shadow, Syrax, and Koraxo.

The first two are now wild dragons without dragon riders. They will only stay on Dragonstone or other volcanoes and will never come to King's Landing.

After quickly putting on their clothes, Jakaris and the other man walked out of the palace together.

"His Majesty!"

The four white knights guarding the door immediately bowed and greeted Jakaris and his companion when they saw them open the door.

One of the knights, a sturdy young man with brown hair, greeted her and immediately asked, "Your Majesty, Queen, are we going to the restaurant or..."

The young White Knight who asked the question was named Dario. He was originally one of the personal guards of Team Stone and was just promoted to captain of the White Knights today.

Jacaerys was frowning in thought and didn't answer, but Benilla glanced at Jacaerys and a bright smile appeared on her face.

He answered, "Sir Dario, we are heading to the Royal Gardens. Please arrange for the guards!"

The reason why Benilla was so happy was that she had not yet officially held a wedding with Jacaerys, and logically should not be called the queen.

Dario was able to stand out from the twelve bodyguards except Stone and Rudy, so he naturally has a high emotional intelligence.

"Yes, sir. I'll arrange it right away."

Dario took the order and turned to leave, while the other three white knights protected Jakaris and the other two as they walked towards the royal garden.

In fact, Jacaerys, who is like a humanoid dragon, does not need any guards at all, but just like that long list of titles, this is the basic status of being the king of the Seven Kingdoms.

And he doesn't need it, but his relatives like Benilla, Luthris, Joffrey and others still need it.

When the two of them arrived at the royal garden, nearly a hundred royal guards were already scattered around with nervous looks on their faces.

The scorpion crossbows on the inner city wall were aimed at Korakshuu floating in the sky.

Bang!
Apparently because he had waited for Jakaris and the other man, Korakshu landed heavily in the royal garden.

Da da da!
Three figures, one tall and two short, jumped off the dragon's back.

The two short figures among them ran towards Jakaris at the fastest speed.

puff puff!

Jacaerys held his two sensible and obedient younger brothers in his arms, one in each hand.

Benilla reached out from the outside and hugged the three brothers, then looked at Jakaris questioningly.

Seeing him nod in agreement, Benilla immediately ran towards her father.

For the past three or four days, Jacaerys has been waiting for Damon to send his two younger brothers back.

Now according to this world, they were probably sent to Essos by Daemon.

After briefly asking my two younger brothers, I got the same answer.

During this time, they lived in the luxurious courtyard of a governor of Pentos, with no worries about food and clothing, and a large number of exotic beauties tempted them every day.

After all, Targaryen's true dragon blood is still very popular in this free city-state founded by the Valyrians.

After experiencing the Dance with the Dragons, Lucerys and Joffrey are no longer as innocent as before.

They had already noticed that something was wrong with Rhaenys and Daemon, especially that they didn't allow them to take Araxes with them.

But out of trust in the two of them, and also trust in their brother that he would find them no matter what happened, they did not rashly expose and resist.

The result was good, the three brothers were reunited safely.

On the other side, Benilla conveyed Jakaris's meaning to Damon.

It was particularly emphasized that the one in the dragon's lair was not little Aegon at all.

And gave him clues to go to Braavos to investigate the Faceless Men in the House of Black and White.

Daemon had no objection to Jacaerys' suggestion that they leave the Seven Kingdoms.

Three days ago, when Daemon sent Castor and the other back to Tidehead Island, Rhaenys woke up from her coma.

Her self-confidence had been completely shattered by the almost one-sided dragon battle.

To prevent Tidemark and House Velaryon from disappearing from the Seven Kingdoms like Oldtown.

She immediately told Daemon that she was willing to take all the responsibility and hand over the power of Velaryon to Lucerys.

The current results are actually better than they expected.

After explaining to Benilla many matters concerning Tidehead Island, Damon went forward and hugged his daughter.

Hooray, hooray!
The dragon wing of Korakshu that had been melted before has begun to recover, and it carried Daemon quickly into the air and left the Red Castle.

Jacaris silently watched the blood-red dragon shadow quickly disappearing into the night sky.

After we say goodbye today, I don’t know if we will have the chance to meet again in the future.

After settling their two younger brothers in Maegor's Holdfast and assigning white knights and royal guards to protect them closely, Jacaerys and Benilla returned to their own bedrooms.

With this interruption, Jecaris lost his sleepiness immediately.

Although he was interested in exploring life, Benila had just lost her virginity not long ago and her body had not recovered yet. Doing it too often would be too much.

And this little girl, Benilla, is very sensible!

After these three days, she had realized that she alone could not handle Jakaris' demands.

So she implied that she didn't mind him building a harem, and of course she was very smart to put herself directly in the position of queen.

Benilla had such thoughts, and Jakaris certainly did the same.

Which Chinese man in the previous life didn't want to build a harem like the ancient emperors, and keep three thousand beauties of all shapes and sizes with different charms?
What's more, he now possesses both the supreme power in Westeros and the physical fitness of a humanoid dragon.

Of course, building a harem is not the most important thing at the moment.

After letting Benilla rest first, Jakaris sat in front of the huge nanmu desk and began to write in Chinese.

In times of peace, he was prepared for danger, and the first thing he did was to sort out the forces that could pose a threat to him.

Currently, there are two supernatural forces that have taken the initiative to attack Jakaris, and he is a man who will avenge himself, so he must settle accounts with them one by one.

The first is the Green Prophet, an enemy who can detect the past and future within a certain range.

'He' or 'they' are definitely the most dangerous.

But their weaknesses are also very obvious. Without obvious power and manpower, they can only disgust people through various weird means.

Moreover, as long as all the heart trees of the seven countries are killed, they will be like hackers whose network cables have been unplugged, and they can only play single-player games outside the Great Wall.

So Jakaris planned to prioritize getting rid of this most dangerous person closest to him.

The second is the religious lunatics in Essos who believe in gods such as R'hllor and the Thousand-Faced God.

Because of the influence of the entry panel, Jakaris now seems to have become the enemy of the gods.

Coupled with his atrocities in Tyrosh and Myr, the religious lunatics in Essos have now put aside their prejudices against each other and want to work together to kill him first.

However, with the Narrow Sea as a barrier, the forces of Essos are temporarily unable to invade Westeros on a large scale.

Small-scale assassinations by the Faceless Men are basically ineffective against Jakaris, but one must be wary of them attacking his loved ones.

Fortunately, all of Jakaris' relatives have dragons, and as long as they can find a way to make them grow up as quickly as possible, their safety can be greatly improved.

As for completely resolving this external threat, that would have to wait until Jacaerys had complete control of the Seven Kingdoms.

The third, slightly more threatening, is the Martell family and Hobart Hightower, who fled to Dorne with a large force.

Judging from the results of the four Dornish Wars, the Dornish have fully understood how to fight dragons in their own territory.

But in Jacaerys's opinion, the reason for the Targaryen royal family's four failures was all due to insufficient firepower!
Jacaerys now has four dragons, waiting for Bael'nilla and Joffrey's dragons to grow up.

Seven giant dragons then carried out a carpet-style baptism of dragon flame on Dorne.

Even though Prince Koolen, Hobart and others hid in the cave,
As long as Jacaerys can determine the approximate location, Wormax can spit out a column of black dragon flame to melt through the mountain and kill it.

Of course, the battle would be easier if they could voluntarily leave Dorne.

So the Dornish are turtles, good at defense but not good at offense.

Once Jakaris has enough firepower, he can take them out in one fell swoop.

The fourth threat is the Night King and the White Walkers, and it is unknown whether they will go south in their lifetime.

Because of its uncertainty, Jakaris only listed it last.

If it really happens, the solution is the same as Dorne, just wash the ground with dragon flame!
After sorting out the dangerous forces, Jakaris then made a simple plan of what to do next.

If he wanted to control the entire Seven Kingdoms, he must first establish his own Imperial Council.

In the past few days, Jacaris has been looking at the information collected by Stone. Combining it with the actual situation, he has almost made up his mind.

All it needs to be announced is tomorrow in the throne room.

The next step is to actually control the six countries. For now, being a king seems to be the easiest.

After the previous group of royal nobles were hanged, their successors were extremely in awe of Jacaerys.

On the second day of the Dragon's Lair Civil War, they came before him and swore allegiance.

Then came the North, where Lord Creggan kept his promise and oath and stood on Jacaerys' side from beginning to end.

With his heart set on the Wall, he headed north with his personal guards and three hundred direct soldiers of the Stark family as soon as he received the news from Daemon.

The 3,600 Northern soldiers he brought with him this time were originally abandoned by the North. All of them are now stationed outside King's Landing waiting for Jacaerys's dispatch.

In the Vale, due to the fall of the Eyrie, the direct bloodline of the Arryn family was almost cut off.

There are two branches of the Arryn family that Jacaerys can choose from. One is Edric Arryn, an ordinary knight with property.

The other is the Earl of Seagulltown, who owns the richest port in the valley, and is nicknamed "Golden Eagle".

When Esemba offered fifty thousand gold dragons as a coronation gift to Jacaris, he had already decided in his heart to appoint Esemba as the new Guardian of the East.

It has been said before in the Riverlands that Jacaerys will support the Frey family to replace the Tully family as the new guardian family.

I believe that the Frey family will be loyal to him and fight until the last member of the family.

The Tyrells of the Riverlands have also sworn allegiance to him.

Because in this era, the Tyrell family and the Hightower family have always been in a state where the king is weak and the ministers are strong.

Now this vassal who was so powerful that the feudal lord was awed by him was eliminated by Jakaris, and they had a strong liking for Jakaris.

Next was the Stormlands, which Jacaerys was going to take direct control of first.

Then he appointed his third brother Joffrey as the Duke of Storm's End, and when he grew up a little, he was sent out to have his own children.

By then, King's Landing, Tidepoint, and Storm's End will be controlled by the three brothers, forming a triangle of offense and defense.

Finally, there is the Westerly Territory, which has remained silent so far. Sir Lorien Lannister, who had his limbs amputated before, is still recovering in the Red Keep dungeon.

Although the Lannisters replied that they would make compensation according to Jacaerys's request, neither the war reparations nor the second batch of messengers have yet arrived in King's Landing.

After sorting out the situation up to this point, Jacaerys simply circled the name of the Lannister family.

He was ready to issue a final ultimatum if the Lannisters did not make any move.

Then, Casterly Rock will be burned down by three dragons just like the Old Town.

By the time Jacaris had finished sorting all of this out, Benilla had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Still sleepless, he went out alone, accompanied by Daario, through Maegor's Holdfast, to find Stone who lived in the Prime Minister's Tower.

Yes, Jacaerys is ready to appoint Stone as Hand of the King!

As his right-hand man, Stone is definitely capable of doing this position.

Even if he is lacking in some aspects, he has enough ability to train Stone.

The most important thing is that no matter what outrageous orders Jakaris gave, Stone would obey unconditionally.

For example, now, after hearing Dario announce the arrival of the king, Stone, who had hurriedly put on his clothes, immediately saluted and greeted him.

As soon as Jakaris entered the house, he asked Stone to look for something that was ordinary but seemed very strange at the moment.

Without any intention of asking any questions, Stone simply took the order and left the Prime Minister's Tower.

After a while, he came back with some charcoal, iron rack, iron spoon, iron pot and other items.

Jacaerys then told him to light a fire and pour most of the water into the iron pot.

Crackling!

Gulu! Gulu!
Under the blazing flames, the water in the large iron pot quickly boiled.

Seeing that it was almost time, Jacaerys ordered Stone to put out the fire, and then he personally poured a large basin filled with large white particles directly into the boiling water.

The white particles melted immediately when they entered the boiling water. Jacaris thought the melting speed was not fast enough, so he kept stirring it with the iron spoon.

As the night grew colder, the boiled water quickly cooled down.

Because there were so many white particles, some of them sank to the bottom of the water and never melted.

Jacaerys asked Stone to pour the water in the iron pot into the large basin.

After following the order and completing all the procedures, Stone asked, "Your Majesty, what kind of water is this?"

"Try it."

After receiving the order, Stone immediately took a big gulp.

then……

puff! Cough cough cough!
After Stone spat out the water in his mouth, he started coughing continuously.

While coughing, he said, “Ahem, Your Majesty, I’m sorry, ahem, I couldn’t help it.

Salty, ugh, this water is too salty!"

That’s right, the white particles are table salt, and the water is supersaturated, highly concentrated salt water.

This is what Jacaerys had planned, a clever way to quietly get rid of the entire Heart Tree of Westeros!
