Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Viserys shook his head.

Meanwhile, the olive-skinned Dorn girl was fast asleep on the soft bed.

After a night of tossing and turning, Arianne was exhausted and didn't even notice how unseemly her sleeping posture was.

Viserys turned his head and glanced at Arianne, who was still fast asleep.

The girl was fast asleep, her legs wrapped around the blanket, just like yesterday when she was wrapped around Viserys, with half of her full breasts exposed. Viserys shook his head slightly when he saw this, and then tidied the blanket for Arianne.

He then leaned down and gently kissed her forehead.

As they kissed, Viserys's long, silver-gold hair fell across the girl's cheek, seemingly disturbing Arianne's sleep, causing her to sniff slightly.

"Get some rest, Arianne."

Viserys then stood up, picked up his coat from the chair, put it on, and strode out of the room.

"His Majesty."

"His Majesty."

The servants passing by in the palace corridors saw Viserys and quickly bowed slightly in greeting.

Inside the bedroom.

As soon as Viserys stepped out of the room, Arianne slowly opened her eyes.

Then she raised her hand and gently touched the spot where her lover had just kissed her.

Arianne had actually woken up while Viserys was getting dressed, but the girl had a little ulterior motive and wanted to see how Viserys would treat her behind her back.

Then a satisfied smile appeared on her face, and her delicate body, wrapped in the soft quilt, curled up together.

...

soon.

Another two weeks have passed in a flash.

News about Westeros gradually reached Pentos.

However, these reports only indicate that a wildling uprising has broken out in the harsh lands north of the Wall.

Viserys sat in his study, deep in thought as he looked at the intelligence report in his hand.

The King of the Frontier organized hundreds of tribes, totaling hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children, from the elderly to the young, and marched in a mighty force toward the Great Wall of Despair, preparing to launch an attack on the Seven Kingdoms.

Meanwhile, King Robert Baratheon I, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, and Warden of Westeros, personally led a coalition of the Deer, the Fish, the Eagle, the Lion, and the Roses to the North.

To help the North defend against the Wildlings, even the Dornish symbolically sent an army in response to the King's call.

This is the stated reason.

The nobles are keeping the news of the White Walkers' resurgence strictly confidential, fearing that it might cause panic and lead to irreversible consequences.

Viserys had been closely monitoring developments in Westeros ever since he received Maester Aemon's letter.

It now appears that before the White Walkers truly arrive, Mance Rayder, the King Beyond the Wall, will face off against the kings of the Seven Kingdoms at the Wall.

However, regarding the outcome of this battle…

Viserys felt there was no suspense.

Although the Free Kingdom claimed to have hundreds of thousands of wildlings, Viserys knew that this number was largely exaggerated, because the wildlings were all soldiers, with families of all ages and genders mixed in.

Furthermore, the weapons and equipment of the savages were extremely scarce. In fact, most of these hundreds of thousands of savages could only use weapons such as wooden clubs and stone axes. As for armor, it was even more out of the question. Only a few able-bodied male savages had the chance to get a helmet or a bracer or other protective gear.

Their disorganized and untrained army, relying solely on sheer courage, struggled even to defeat a Night's Watch legion of less than a thousand men, let alone Robert Baratheon I, who had assembled the armies of the Seven Kingdoms.

If Robert is defeated by the wildlings, he doesn't even need to return to King's Landing; he can simply commit suicide on the way.

Viserys, however, was thinking about a different problem.

"It seems that among the commanders of this coalition are Eddard Stark, Jeor Mormont, Robert Baratheon..."

Viserys heard that Stannis, the Duke of Dragonstone, had nothing better to do and wanted to go to the Wall as well.

“These people aren’t like Jon Snow; they probably won’t let wildlings into the Wall.”

The savages beyond the Great Wall disregarded the law, refused to submit to the king, and did not engage in production, relying instead on burning, killing, and looting to survive.

If they were allowed to enter the Great Wall, it would inevitably cause a great shock to the stable order of the seven kingdoms, and might even bring disaster for thousands of years.

"But if we don't let these savages into the Great Wall..."

"Then when the White Walkers truly arrive, they will become an army of hundreds of thousands of dead."

Viserys sat at his desk, a gentle breeze ruffling the curtains, the bright sunlight streaming in through the window. He thought with great interest that the Night King's army might be even stronger than in the original timeline.

However, correspondingly, the human alliance is also much stronger than in the original trajectory.

This is a group of seven kingdoms that have not yet split apart. King Robert, who once bravely took the Iron Throne from horseback, is still alive. Famous commanders, including Eddard Stark and Stannis, are gathered together.

Will the army of the dead prevail this time, or will humanity triumph over evil and drive the White Walkers back to the Land of Everwinter?

Viserys, for the time being, preferred to sit back and watch the two sides fight, quietly waiting to see how things would unfold as he expected.

After all, he is still on the other side of the Narrow Sea, and the Iron Throne has changed hands. The Targaryen family no longer holds the throne. Whoever sits on the throne must bear the responsibility.

Now that House Baratheon, together with Houses Wolf, Fish, Eagle, and Lion, has seized the Iron Throne, no one can claim that saving the Seven Kingdoms and all of humanity is his duty and responsibility.

Viserys could watch with a clear conscience, without any psychological burden.

And... can the army of the dead swim?

However, Viserys did not want Westeros to become a world where humanity was wiped out.

It sounds like a joke now.

But if Westeros were truly conquered by the army of the dead, the cold winds of the land of eternal winter would even reach Dorne.

Who knows if these uncontrollable legions of the dead could swim across the Narrow Sea at that time?

And at this time.

bang——

The door to Viserys's study was pushed open, and a figure hurriedly walked in.

"His Majesty!"

"Urgent intelligence!"

Chapter 254 Fictional Setting

The visitor was Jon Clinton.

Illyrio has been away from Pentos for a long time.

Given the current rise of the Targaryens and the almost inevitable conflict with Braavos, they have already shown signs of turning against each other.

As the leader of the Free Trade Castle, Braavos naturally wanted to suppress aggressive challengers like the Targaryens in order to maintain his position.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Viserys sent Illyrio, who had connections and had traveled to the distant Slaver's Bay and Astapor, to purchase the Unsullied.

Viserys had last seen the Unsullied at Illyrio’s mansion, and during the Red Night, Jon Clinton led a dozen Unsullied men disguised among the Pentos garrison who suddenly drew their swords.

At that time, he became fascinated by this elite force. The Unsullied were absolutely obedient to their master's orders and fearless, which was exactly the elite troops that Viserys needed now.

Whether facing pressure from Braavos, expanding into other territories, or even invading Westeros, the Unsullied will have ample room to maneuver in the future.

Do those who are immaculate have any drawbacks?

some.

The only drawback of the Immaculate One is that it is expensive, but expensive things often only have this one drawback, and it is very likely that this is not its drawback, but yours.

Viserys was exceptionally generous in this regard.

Is he rich?

Viserys is very rich now.

The governor's family of Pentos was plundered, and even without counting the rewards distributed, the remaining money was enough to dazzle Viserys, who had seen the wealth left behind by the Targaryen family.

These governors exploited the people of Pentos to the bone, making unimaginable amounts of money.

That's why Viserys was able to act so generously, letting Illyrio take the money and set off with a wave of his hand, showing great trust and not worrying at all that Illyrio would take the opportunity to run away with the money.

As for Astapo, as long as you bring the money, you don't need to worry about them not delivering the goods after receiving the payment.

Although the philanthropists of Slaver's Bay had long been morally corrupt, they were very trustworthy in business, deeply understanding the importance of integrity in trade.

now.

Viserys sent Illyrio out to purchase Unsullied to expand his military strength.

Jon Clinton became the only person he could trust.

So Jon Snow, who had been quite idle before, began to get busy, running around and diligently handling all sorts of matters.

In fact, Jon Clinton now wields more influence in Pentos than the Prince of Ragnarok, who is now the Prince of Pentos.

The ragged prince once dreamed of returning to his hometown and seizing power, but when he actually sat in that position…

The ragged prince then realized that he seemed to have been... tricked.

Viserys sat in Pentos as if he had no intention of moving, and Pentos neither could nor dared to ask Viserys to leave.

Thus, Viserys remained inside the Nine Towers Palace without ever stepping outside, and all of Pentos' power remained entirely under his control.

The ragged prince was like a balloon, floating in mid-air. He seemed to have a lot of power, but his real power had long been usurped.

Even the brothers who were once part of the Wind Blowing Gang have begun to change their stance after they transformed into the Guard Team.

I used to work for a leader, but now I suddenly realize that there is an even bigger leader above that leader.

At this point, you have an opportunity to work under a higher-level leader. Would you take it?

"go."

As a result, many of the former Wind Blowers brothers gradually changed their stance under Rams's covert coercion and enticement.

They began to give perfunctory replies to the Prince in Ragged Clothes' orders, learning to make empty promises and play the official game.

Even the Prince of Raggedy's most trusted right-hand men, the 'War Poet' Danzo dehan and the Dothraki Khago, began to sway back and forth, and their gazes toward the Prince of Raggedy gradually became somewhat strange.
