Game of Thrones: Dragons have three heads, not three-headed dragons.
Chapter 57 High Court's Letter, Braavos's Scheme
Oris sat in his tent and opened the Tyrell family's letter. The rough and rugged Common language was immediately apparent. "Thank you for your letter. On behalf of the Duke of Highgarden, Warden of the South, Warden of the Frontier, High Lord of the Reach, and Lord Mace Tyrell, head of House Tyrell, I send you this reply. House Tyrell, as Warden of the South appointed by King Aegon Targaryen I, has always stood on the front line against aggression, repelling numerous invasions by Dornish bandits and Iron Islands pirates."
They answered the call to fight to the death at Storm's End during the reign of King Aerys II, but now the Targaryen dynasty has ended and the Iron Throne belongs to House Baratheon.
House Tyrell, to prevent their extinction, can only unite around His Majesty Renly Baratheon, the new King of the Seven Kingdoms, and can hardly offer you any effective assistance. If one day House Targaryen returns to Westeros, I, on behalf of Highgarden and my vassals, am willing to offer you all my help.”
Oris was both angry and amused after reading the short letter. He was pretty sure that Old Rose Olenna was unaware that her foolish son had written him such a reply. The letter's message was simple: "I've done everything I can for House Targaryen. If you want to ally with me, fight back first. I've already staked everything on Renly." Oris admired the shortsightedness of the Inflatable Fish Lord. Even if he was going to refuse him, he should at least have sent someone with a gift to express his apology. He thought he could just send Oris away with a letter.
Oris didn't dwell on the Tyrell family matter any longer. Renly was still alive, and not only had he inherited the Stormlands' army, but he had also allied with the Tyrell family, instantly gaining the support of two kingdoms. Once he joined forces with the Starks in the North and the Tully family in the Riverlands, the combined power of the four kingdoms could easily besiege King's Landing and the Westerlands with two armies, directly eliminating Tywin Lannister. The remaining kings, such as Balon and Stannis, would be no threat at all.
Thinking about this, Oris even admired Renly a little. After all, although Renly had inherited Storm's End before Robert's death, he had proposed to quickly take control of King's Landing after Robert's death, but Ned refused. After that, Renly quickly escaped from King's Landing and returned to Storm's End, where he joined forces with Highgarden and then negotiated with Catelyn Tully.
Renly's plan was almost a success, but Stannis unexpectedly used a cheat code, and the Shadow Assassination caused Renly's plan to collapse quickly. His wife also married his enemy. Oris remembered that in the original book, the Tyrell family quickly colluded with Tywin. It seems that while the Tyrell family was allied with Renly, they were also colluding with Tywin.
If he truly wanted to win over House Tyrell, Oris would have to go there in person. Thinking this, Oris put down the letter and left the tent. "After this trip, it's time to go to Westeros again." Just as Oris finished speaking, Tian Shou approached him. "Your Majesty, the Braavos army has already surrounded us. Should we engage them in battle? The brothers can't wait any longer."
After listening to Tian Shou's words, Oris pondered for a while. His soldiers had been advancing all the way without ever engaging in battle with Braavos's army. A prolonged siege could easily affect the army's morale and cause them to become complacent. Oris really did not want Braavos's army to have any chance of breaking out.
Thinking of this, Oris no longer hesitated and immediately whispered in Tian Shou's ear: "At two o'clock tonight, the archers will advance and shoot arrows at the enemy camp. After that, Bono's light cavalry will launch a surprise attack. Tell Bono that he must not linger in battle. After killing a batch, he should retreat quickly."
After Oris learned the sexes of the three young dragons through the Dragon Soul Charm, he named the fire dragon after Syracuse, the Valyrian goddess of abundance. Syracuse, the most lively of the three and the eldest, often flew high in the sky, chasing hurricanes. Oris named the sea dragon after its original name in the movie, coincidentally Tiamat, which is also the name of the evil dragon mother in the dungeon world. Tiamat was rather shy and often went into the water to catch fish, sharing her catch with her eldest and youngest sisters. After the thunder dragon was born, Oris named it after Demeter, the Olympian goddess of the earth. The youngest sister, Demeter, was particularly fond of being pampered and often slept on Oris's lap.
In two months, the three baby dragons had grown to the size of medium-sized dogs. Oris intentionally let the Paralyzed Dragon and the Mosasaurus play with the Brontosaurus and the Sea Dragon frequently so that they could fight together later and improve the three giant dragons' combat power.
That night, Oris's archers infiltrated the vicinity of the swamp and, using the advantage of their composite bows, quickly unleashed a barrage of arrows at the enemy camp. After inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy, they quickly switched to fire arrows and set fire to many of the enemy tents. At this point, the archers withdrew, while Bono's light cavalry, guided by the firelight, swiftly charged towards the enemy camp, stepping on planks. Twenty minutes later, Oris ordered the drums to be beaten quickly to signal Bono to retreat.
The next morning, upon learning of the previous night's losses, Auris immediately ordered, "From now on, change the location of the camps every night, spreading them out as much as possible." While the Braavos army was still resting during the day, Auris dared not be careless. That night, just as Auris was about to send men to attack again, a great deal of noise came from his own army's original camp. At this moment, Auris ordered his troops to assemble urgently, and, with Bono and some archers, charged towards the original camp. Bono led the light cavalry to annihilate the Braavos soldiers from the outside, while the archers unleashed a saturation attack on the Braavos army.
The battle lasted from night until morning. After the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, they found nearly 1500 corpses. It was supposed to be a great victory, but Oris was not happy. The fact that Braavos left 1500 men meant that the enemy had sent at least 3000 men for the attack, and a night raid would certainly not require that many.
The only reason Oris could think of was that the Braavos wanted to reduce their troop strength and food consumption, and there was only one reason why the other side would fight to the death regardless of the lives of their soldiers: the other side must have formed an alliance with other forces, and the Kingdom of the Three Daughters must be under attack.
The next few days passed peacefully. Oris sent Bono to the vicinity of the Andalus Mountains to conscript a large number of able-bodied men. In addition to filling the population of the disputed lands later, Oris planned to lead his troops back to reinforce the area.
Oris planned to use conscripted able-bodied men to fill the army, replacing some veterans who had fought in battles, while he himself would lead the veterans back to reinforce the troops. Braavos wanted to maintain a stalemate, so he gave them this opportunity.
The plan was progressing smoothly. Oris replaced 4000 soldiers, handed over the army besieging Braavos to the commander of the Heavenly Commander, and then led 4000 veterans to bypass Pentos and quietly head back to the disputed territory to provide reinforcements.
