Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord.

Chapter 124 Volantis Action

Stannis bowed expressionlessly and said, "Good day, your majesty, and welcome to Dragonstone."

Robert sneered, "I don't want to come at all, Stannis. It's not easy to see you if you come to King's Landing."

Stannis remained expressionless. Robert sat in his chair helplessly and angrily and said, "I want to conquer the Stepstones. Is the royal fleet confident that it can defeat their navy?"

Stannis said, "I'm not sure. The royal fleet has cooperated with Gawen Bellerys's warships to chase pirates before. Unlike the pirates of the Iron Islands, their warships are very powerful and are all tall sailing warships. Most of our fleet is composed of low longships. In a normal naval battle, it may take the cooperation of four or five longships to sink a sailing warship. Longships are not as powerful as sailing warships in terms of impact and defense."

Robert said angrily: "I spent so much money on the Royal Fleet, and this is the combat effectiveness? So weak!"

Stannis retorted: "You have spent most of your money on entertainment, banquets, and tournaments. Since the rebellion of the Iron Islands, the Council has allocated no money for the repair or replacement of ships in the royal fleet."

Robert knew he was in the wrong and said, "I'll let Littlefinger figure out the money."

Stannis scoffed, "Where do you want to borrow it from?"

Robert looked at Stannis coldly and said, "Be careful what you say, Stannis. You are speaking to your king now."

The hall was filled with a tense atmosphere. After a moment, Robert suppressed his anger and said calmly, "I want you to send a ship to monitor the Stepstone Islands and recruit sailors for training. The money will be allocated soon."

Stannis said, "That's no problem." He paused and then said, "The King's Hand Jon Arryn has passed away. The King's Council cannot be without a Prime Minister. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks of the new King's Hand?"

Robert knew what Stannis meant. He stood up and sneered, "I want Ned Stark to be the new Prime Minister."

Stannis was furious when he heard this. His brother would rather believe outsiders than his own brother. Stannis quickly suppressed his anger and said sincerely: "I recommend myself as the Prime Minister. I believe I can do better than Jon Arryn and more suitable than Eddard Stark."

Robert waved his hand and said perfunctorily, "There are more important things for you to do now. You should serve as the Minister of the Navy and manage the royal fleet first." Then he stood up and was about to walk out of the hall, but suddenly stopped and turned around: "Where is my niece Shireen? I want to see her."

Stannis responded, "In the gardens at the back. I'll have a servant take you there."

Robert nodded, and strode out under the guidance of the waiter.

Stannis looked at Robert's receding figure, his lips tightly pursed, wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, he just lowered his head silently and said nothing.

A few months ago, a mysterious letter was delivered to him.

When he opened the envelope, the contents of the letter were like a thunder in his mind. The letter said that Jon Arryn discovered that none of the three children born to Robert Baratheon by Queen Cersei was Robert's biological child. After this secret was revealed, Jon Arryn was poisoned by the Lannister family. Now, the Lannisters have pointed their spearheads at him, Stannis.

Upon learning of this, he hurriedly conducted a brief investigation, then anxiously left King's Landing, which was rife with danger, and rushed all the way to Dragonstone.

He knew very well that Robert, who was prejudiced against him, would not believe his words and might even suspect him of plotting to seize the Iron Throne.

Stannis just learned that the position of Prime Minister had been given to Ned Stark. Stannis decided to suppress his inner turmoil for the time being and wait for Ned to arrive in King's Landing before discussing the matter with him.

In the fiery dragon cave, with a series of crisp cracking sounds, cracks began to appear on the three dragon eggs. The first dragon that emerged from the shell was covered with dazzling golden scales, shining as brightly as the sun under the firelight; then, a dragon with deep blue scales poked its head out, its eyes like the mysterious deep sea; the last dragon born had bright red scales like a raging fire, as if burning with endless passion.

With the birth of the baby dragon, Gavin felt something and opened his panel to look at it.

Looking at the three baby dragons that appeared on Domination, Gavin became more and more excited about controlling the dragons. Then he and Daenerys took care of the baby dragons together.

At this moment, Coben hurried in. The hot dragon cave made him sweat profusely, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. He raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead vigorously.

Coben walked quickly to Gavin, handed him a letter that was slightly soaked with sweat, and said, "Sir, there is a new situation in the disputed land."

Daenerys and Gavin's gaze instantly shifted from the newborn dragon to the letter, and their expressions became solemn.

After receiving the letter, Gavin opened it and read it immediately. His brows were furrowed, and his face became more solemn. He thought that Myr would be the first to take action, but he did not expect that Volantis' Tiger Cloak Army had already deployed troops at the border of the disputed land.

Gavin took a deep breath, handed the letter to Qyburn beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Daenerys and I will fly to Lys tomorrow. You must keep a close eye on the actions of the Iron Throne and speed up the construction of warships here."

Coben bowed and accepted the order, and said respectfully, "Please rest assured, sir."

Afterwards, Gavin carefully handed the three baby dragons to the Blood Dragon Guards and instructed them to be fed regularly, then he hurriedly left the dragon's lair with Daenerys.
