Chapter 20: The Military Deployment Plan, Oris's Trump Card
Oris frowned and pondered for a long time. It wasn't until the sun set that Oris realized that Aquaman didn't actually care much about the Oris Manor. His previous actions were merely a gesture. He knew that if Oris obediently marched towards the Kingdom of the Third Daughter and stopped heading north, Aquaman's interests wouldn't be affected. Even if the Oris Manor's army marched north, they would be nothing more than insects that Aquaman could crush at any time. Braavos was surrounded by water, and the land forces could play a very limited role. To attack Braavos, they would have to face the Iron Fleet head-on. Oris simply didn't have the strength to negotiate with Aquaman.
After figuring it out, Oris summoned his officers and Daren to discuss the military plan. He wanted to build a fortress in the heart of the Kingdom of Three Daughters. In the early stages, he would definitely need to make arrangements with the people of the Kingdom of Three Daughters. This matter required someone with excellent eloquence to persuade the high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Three Daughters.
Oris had no such talent under his command, and just as Oris was at his wit's end, Pochi said, "Why not send Illyrio?" Upon hearing this, Oris suddenly understood. He could provide both manpower and money, and it was certainly not acceptable for Illyrio to lie on the governor's bed and watch the show. He immediately sent someone to deliver a message to Illyrio, intending to ask him to fund the construction of the fortress, and also to persuade the high-ranking officials of the Three Daughters City.
Having chosen his persuader, Oris immediately outlined his battle plan. The initial construction of the fortress could be carried out under the guise of advancing on Westeros's supply lines. Once completed, the fortress would be used to recruit runaway slaves and enslaved people; anyone entering the fortress's territory would gain their freedom. At this point, they would need to withstand the initial offensive of the Three Daughters. If they could hold out this period, Oris would lead his army to raid Myr and Tyrosh to relieve the pressure on the fortress. Afterward, they would combine their forces to destroy Rhys in one fell swoop, unifying the Three Daughters and the disputed lands.
Oris's battle plan was finally revealed to everyone, surprising them all. They hadn't expected Oris to have such a huge ambition; it was like trying to get rich quick. However, after careful consideration, they found the plan feasible. Once the free slaves entered the castle, they would become cannon fodder on the front lines. As long as they could withstand the initial attack, with the current fighting strength of the manor army, breaking through the poorly defended Mil would be a piece of cake.
While everyone was discussing strategy, Oris was also reviewing the entire plan. If the plan could be executed smoothly, that would be ideal, but there were still many concerns. Besides the Kingdom of the Three Daughters, there were also Volantis and the Dothraki. If Oris and the Kingdom of the Three Daughters were to engage in a major conflict, would the Dothraki seize the opportunity to take advantage? Oris dared not gamble, so he needed to keep a trump card in mind to deal with the potential arrival of the Dothraki.
For the next period of time, Oris Manor was in full swing. While receiving a reply from Illyrio agreeing to the request, Oris was also working hard to manufacture weapons. Even if he intended to use the free slaves as cannon fodder, he still had to equip them with weapons before sending them to the battlefield. While the weapons were being manufactured, Illyrio also brought good news. The high-ranking officials of the Three Daughters Kingdom agreed to build a small castle in the center of the disputed land. However, the castle could only be the size of ten cowhides. Oris was very excited when he heard this. He immediately ordered Daren to lead his troops with ten cowhides and cut them into thin strips to enclose a large area of land.
When the people accompanying the Third Daughter Kingdom returned to report, the soldiers and laborers that Daren had brought had already begun building the castle. Oris sent 1000 swordsmen and 1000 archers, a total of 2,000 soldiers, to protect the construction of the fortress, while he secretly prepared his trump card.
In the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, the most destructive forces are undoubtedly dragonfire and wildfire. However, the world's magic has not yet recovered, and even if Oris forcibly intervenes in the hatching of the dragon eggs with blood magic, the dragons born would hardly survive. Therefore, wildfire is Oris's first choice. To maximize the power of the wildfire, targeted deployment becomes essential. Oris currently only has two flying eagles, Hurricane and Phantom, which can only pull a limited amount of cargo, and they would find it difficult to evade the rain of arrows in the air.
After two days of deliberation, while Oris secretly sent people to recruit fire sorcerers to collect wildfire, he also found two long-winged dragon eggs brought back by Inis in the storage room. These two eggs had been buried in mud and water by Oris for a long time and had not hatched. Now that they were taken out, they were the trump card that Oris planned to use.
The Swamp Wyvern is the largest wyvern in Sothros. Its maximum size has not been recorded by the maester, but it should be over ten meters long and capable of easily carrying people into the air. If the battle is lost, Oris can ride the wyvern and turn the tide of the battle by either dropping wildfire from the sky or launching a surprise attack from the sky.
Oris had made up his mind to use blood magic to hatch the longwing dragon eggs, but the biggest problem was that Oris had used too much blood magic with his own bloodline before. He used himself as a sacrifice material and could not hatch two longwing dragons. Even if he managed to hatch one longwing dragon, its growth rate would still not be fast and it would be difficult to keep up with the progress of the war. Oris had a headache for many days because of this, until Oris saw Daenerys training in the manor.
As fellow members of the Dragonflight family, perhaps using Targaryen blood for a blood sacrifice would work. With this thought in mind, Oris slowly walked towards Daenerys, who was still training. Daenerys saw Oris and turned around timidly to look back. Daenerys had been at Oris Manor for over a year, and she had only seen Oris a handful of times. Apart from Oris being busy with manor affairs, Oris didn't have any special feelings for Daenerys; on the contrary, he felt that the things she would face in the future were somewhat troublesome.
Although 11-year-old Daenerys still had some baby fat, her developing body made her radiant and a true beauty. Oris approached Daenerys and asked, "Your Highness, how long have you been training?" This simple greeting startled Daenerys, who shrank back and timidly replied, "I've been training all morning." Seeing Daenerys's demeanor, Oris immediately lost interest, said goodbye, and walked out of the training area.
Daenerys spent the first half of her life in constant displacement. Her mother died shortly after her birth, and Viserys was a useless man who frequently beat and verbally abused her. It was already difficult enough for her to muster the courage to speak even a few words to Oris.
Oris returned to his study but did not abandon his plan to have Daenerys sacrifice herself. He could not persuade Daenerys, but Daeron could. With this in mind, Oris immediately wrote a letter to Daeron, explaining his plan and emphasizing that this blood magic was not very harmful to the caster. He then sent the letter to Rag. Once Rag arrived at the fortress construction site, he would know that Rag was the person Oris had sent to replace him.
