Game of Thrones: Roar of the Dragon

Chapter 151: The Emperor's Personal Expedition, Changes in the Seven Kingdoms

Whether they are nobles from the seven countries, believers of the Dragon God Church, or ordinary civilians.

They were all very excited about the good news brought back by His Majesty the King.

When Dorne fell, many people tasted the sweetness. Now there is an entire alien continent. What a big cake it is!

With the people in this favorable situation, Jacaerys can now mobilize most of Westeros's power with just a wave of his hand.

And he did just that, directly ordering all the noble families that owned or built ocean-going ships to set off for Essos with a large number of civilian laborers who were responsible for doing the hard work.

This second phase of the strategy would be very successful if this ant-like transport fleet successfully landed in Myr.

I believe that within a very short time, all valuable things in the disputed area will be transported back to the seven countries.

But as a result, the military strength of all the noble families in Westeros was less than one-third of what it usually was.

It can be said that this is the time when the defense of the nobles of the seven countries was the weakest in thousands of years.

But it doesn't matter, because Jacaerys had promised the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms who were on the expedition to Essos.

There are no enemies or uncontrolled enemy forces in Westeros now.

And even if there really is an enemy, let's take a step back.

As long as they send a raven letter to King's Landing for help, Queen Benilla will ride Moon Dancer to rescue them.

Of course, Moon Dancer, who was originally small in size, has now grown to the point where she can carry Bernila and fly without the need for auxiliary magic.

But its actual combat capability is far inferior to that of Womacks of the same size.

However, Jacaris left enough explosive fruits for Benilla.

When the time comes, when Benilla goes to support, she won't even need to fight a real dragon, she can just drop explosive fruits from a high altitude.

I believe that there is no army in this world that can withstand the heavy bombing of "high-altitude bombers".

It took nearly a month and a half for Jacaerys to arrive in Myr with the transport fleet escorted by Vermax and the three-headed dragon servant.

He had thought that as soon as he arrived in Myr, he would be able to begin putting the civilian laborers on the transport fleet to work.

But Luciris told him that Duke Forester and Edmund had only occupied half of the disputed land.

"...Your Majesty, the enemy called the Hand of Holy Fire is too cunning.

They only attacked our towns with fewer than 300 men garrisoned, and our logistics units transporting baggage.

Whenever Lord Forrester and Edmund gathered their armies, they disappeared without a trace.

And the other side seemed to know how to avoid the dragon. I rode Araxes out on patrol many times.

As a result, not a single enemy was seen.

The most important thing is, I heard that this Hand of Holy Fire is blessed by the Red God.

Every time their leader, the 'God's Favored One', dies in battle, he is resurrected in public with God's grace.

Brother, I'm not speaking for Duke Forrester.

It is said that hundreds of people have witnessed the resurrection of the God-favored One. "

"Well, well done, I believe you and Lord Forester wouldn't lie.

Next, leave it to me!"

Upon hearing this, Jakaris patted Lusiris on the shoulder and began to praise and encourage him.

When he heard the last few words of Lusiris, he knew the quality of this Holy Fire Hand.

It's nothing more than the Essos version of the Brotherhood Without Banners.

The so-called God-favored One is like the Lightning King more than a hundred years later.
Although he was resurrected by R'hllor's grace, his actual combat power may still be inferior to those Faceless Men.

Humph, I will ride my dragon to burn you to ashes, and then see how you can be resurrected!

The next day, Jacaerys and Luciris rode five giant dragons towards the disputed land.

……

Seareach is located at Eagle Point on the western coast of the Riverlands and is the ancestral home of House Mallister.

Eagle Point is a piece of land that protrudes southwest from the continent of Westeros into the Ironborn Sound, pointing directly to the Iron Islands.

Therefore, the location of Seaforest is exactly where the Ironborn Bay connects with the Westeros continent, and at the same time, it is close to the source of the inland Blue Fork River.

It can be said that if Haijiang City was occupied by the Iron People.

Then the Ironborn could invade the entire Three Forks River basin from the Sunset Sea at any time and plunder the entire riverlands.

The original purpose of building Haijiang City was to resist the looting of the Iron Men.

There is a huge bronze bell tower in Haijiang City, which is the Hongzhong Tower which is very famous in the seven countries.

In the past, the guards on the watchtower would only need to spot an Ironborn longship appearing on the surface of the Sunset Sea in the west.

They would quickly ring the alarm bell to notify the villagers and farmers in the fields, asking them to quickly take refuge in the castle.

The Hong Bell Tower also rang today, but the rhythm was very slow.

This is the bell to welcome distinguished guests!
The gate of Seaward was wide open, and the burly Lord of Seaward, Jorah Mallister, who was nearly forty years old, was seen.

He was waiting quietly in line with his family members and soldiers from Haijiang City.

Da da da!
As the sound of horse hooves came closer and closer, a team of cavalrymen wearing black fish-scale armor quickly came to the front of Count Jora.

A young man with the classic short reddish-brown hair of the Tully family and a handsome face jumped off his horse, took a few steps forward and helped Earl Jorah up.

At the same time, he murmured, "Lord Jorah, why are you so polite?
My grandfather was demoted to a marquis by His Majesty, and the Tully family is no longer the guardian family of the Trident."

This young man is the grandson of the current Marquis of Riverrun, Elmon Tully.

"House Mallister adheres to the way of loyalty and will always regard House Tully as their lord!"

Upon hearing this, Lord Jorah immediately answered.

Elmon smiled when he heard this, then he turned his head to look at the soldiers of Haijiang City behind Earl Jorah.

He said in an appreciative tone: "My grandfather also praised the loyalty of the Mallister family. I heard that you were indifferent to His Majesty's call for conscription.

Now it seems to be true.”

"Your Excellency the Duke... Your Excellency the Marquis, you are too kind. We, the Mallister family, are only doing our duty.

In addition to this reason, the Iron Fleet, which had disappeared for more than half a year, returned to the Iron Islands.

I was worried that the damn squids would harass the coast of Haijiang City, so I didn't dare to split my forces."

"Oh? Ironborn?" Hearing this topic, Elmon immediately asked with great interest.

"Lord Jorah, is it impossible for you and the ironborn to coexist peacefully?"

"Live in peace with squids? Sir Elmon, you are kidding!
The entire Riverlands, and even the Seven Kingdoms, should know that the hatred between our Sea Border City and the squids is the accumulation of countless blood feuds over hundreds of years.

We in Haijiang City will never coexist peacefully with those beasts who burn, kill, and plunder!"

When Count Jora heard Elmon's words, a look of hatred suddenly appeared on his face, and he spoke hatefully with gritted teeth.

“Haha, it seems that Earl Jorah doesn’t like my joke.

By the way, I almost forgot the main thing. I am here on behalf of my grandfather to congratulate Earl Jora on marrying his nineteenth wife!
You are amazing.

I am impatient, so I came here first with the cavalry. The gift transport convoy is right behind us and will arrive in a few hours."

Sir Elmon pondered for a moment after hearing this, then said to Earl Jorah with a smile on his face.

Count Jora also smiled when he heard this, but he did not feel embarrassed.

Instead, he answered openly, "Hehe, I'm not that impressive, after all, that Majesty married sixty-nine wives at once.

Thank you, Lord Marquis and Sir Elmon. Let's go into the city first!
There are fine wines and delicious food in the banquet hall. I won’t leave until I’m drunk today!”

Sir Elmon looked up at the sky and replied, "Well, it's getting late, so let's go straight to the banquet hall!"

"Um, Sir Elmon, this way please!"

Under the guidance of Earl Jorah, Sir Elmon and his party entered the city of Seafront.

In the sky, a black raven was circling and moving forward, as if it was following them.

Soon, the banquet hall in Haijiang City was filled with singing and dancing.

Count Jora does value his former feudal family very much, even though it has now lost power and fallen.

He still arranged for his most beautiful daughter to accompany Sir Elmon.

As they drank, Lord Jorah boasted about the advantages of being an old man and trying to get along with young girls, and kept persuading Ser Elmon to marry more wives and have more children.

The male members of the Mallister family and the male officials in the banquet hall began to make a noise.

He wanted Ser Elmon to take in the young lady from the Mallister family who was beside him.

Just as food and wine were being consumed in the banquet hall, a transport convoy flying the Tully family's trout flag arrived at the gate of Seaside City.

The officer in charge of guarding the city gate had a few words with the leader of the transport team, checked the other party's documents for carrying trout wax, and then ordered his men to open the city gate.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the Tully family immediately commanded the transport team to enter Haijiang City, but was stopped by the gatekeepers of Haijiang City.

"Sir, what do you mean by this? Haven't you checked my documents?

These are the gifts from the Marquis to Lord Mallister. Do you want to open them all and check them?"

The leader looked up at the city guard officers who were still standing on the city wall, frowned and shouted.

"I don't have the guts to check. But the Earl has ordered that if there is any unusual movement of the squids in the Iron Islands, no team with more than a hundred people can enter the city.

Sorry, we will deliver the things, but you will have to camp outside the city and rest.

Someone will bring you wine and food later."

"Okay then, we'll leave the stuff at the city gate, and you'll have to carry it yourself later."

Upon hearing this, the leader stopped arguing and nodded and replied to the city guard officer above.

Soon, groups of Haijiang City defenders came out of the city gate and pulled transport carriages filled with wooden barrels and boxes into Haijiang City.

Squeak! Bang!

Looking at the gate that closed again after the transport convoy was pulled into the city, the leader smiled.
He whispered to himself, "What a cautious family! No wonder we haven't been able to take them down in hundreds of years.

However, many strong cities in history collapsed from within!"

As night gradually fell, not only the Tully family soldiers responsible for transportation outside the city, but also the defenders of Haijiang City received many delicious foods and wines sent out from the banquet hall.

Humans tend to feel sleepy after eating and drinking enough, and most of the defenders in Haijiang City fell into a drowsy state.

Ha...tch!

A Haijiang City garrison soldier who was in charge of guarding the transport convoy was awakened by a gust of night wind. He sneezed loudly and then shook his body.

However, this gust of cold wind also made him more awake, so that he could hear some sounds that he shouldn't have heard.

Click, click, click!
Hearing a slight sound in his ear, the Haijiang City defender wiped his nose with the back of his hand, then turned to look towards the source of the sound.

I saw that on the transport carriage next to me, the lid of a wooden barrel that should have been sealed was slowly opening a gap.

The drunken Haijiang City defender subconsciously walked forward, opened his eyes wide, and leaned his head forward to take a closer look at the barrel.

puff!

A sharp sword pierced out from the gap in the wooden barrel and went straight into the eyes of the defenders of Haijiang City.

tick tock!
A stream of blood gushed out from the eyes of the Haijiang City defender, but he was unable to shout due to the fatal injury and could only tremble all over.

Click, click, click!
At the end of his life, this defender of Haijiang City saw figures wearing either Tully family armor or Ironborn leather armor quietly crawling out of wooden barrels and boxes.

These figures were like predators walking in the dark night, and began to kill other sleepy Haijiang City defenders.

But like at the beginning, the Haijiang City defender was not the only one who was sober, when the killing spread to the gate of Haijiang City.

Several Haijiang City defenders who gathered together to chat because they didn't like drinking discovered the predators killing in the dark.

Without any hesitation, they rang the alarm bell on the city gate.

Dangdang Dangdang!
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

This alarm immediately caused a chain reaction. The sentry on the Hongzhong Tower was awakened and quickly began to ring the huge bronze bell.

The rapid and loud bell rang, and in an instant it spread throughout the entire Haijiang City.

Not only that, even people outside Haijiang City could hear the huge bell.

Outside Haijiang City, the leader heard the bell and cursed, “You can mess up such a simple thing, you are such a bunch of rubbish.

Well, it definitely wasn't us Ironborn who messed up, but those trout!
Send the signal and attack from both sides at the same time!"

shhhhhh!
As soon as the leader finished speaking, three burning rockets shot into the sky and exploded at the highest point.

Wow!
As soon as the signal was given, the guards on the sea side of Haijiang City immediately noticed torches burning like a long dragon on the Sunset Sea.

And there is only one kind of people who can come from this direction, the squids from the Iron Islands.

The seven kingdoms, which had enjoyed peace for more than half a year because of Jacaerys and his dragons, began to undergo drastic changes again from tonight!
