Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Viserys is considering the next steps. Myr is in a complicated situation, with various forces involved, making it a mixed bag.

The armies of Tyros and Rhys were the first to enter the ruins and take control of a portion of the city. Some minor clashes broke out between the two sides due to the situation, resulting in bloodshed.

Not to be outdone, the governor of Valantis also sent his Tiger Robe Army to garrison the city of Myr. The already tense army of Tyroth and the army of Rhys immediately became united against the Valantis.

Then I heard that the Braavos had also sent a fleet with a large amount of relief supplies and had just entered the city of Mil.

Meanwhile, there were also rumors that a group of black-robed messengers who worshipped the Black Goat God in Kohol seemed to have caught wind of the situation.

They wanted to take this opportunity to hold a bloody ritual in Mil, but their stated reason was to help the dead find peace.

After all, the Black Goat God is also one of the gods of death.

These believers certainly did not intend to take advantage of the situation to harvest the souls of the dead and offer them to their god.

The situation in Myr was too complicated, so Viserys did not intervene.

He was still considering the previous question of whether to target Braavos or Westeros next.

However, it is precisely at this critical juncture.

The messenger from Braavos arrived.

Chapter 284 The Great Wall Collapse

The footsteps outside the main hall were clearly audible.

tata tao...

A man dressed in a simple gray robe and with short hair hurried into the Nine Towers Palace.

Viserys sat quietly on his throne, waiting.

"His Majesty."

When the messenger from Braavos entered the palace, he saw the silver-haired young man on the throne and immediately bowed in respect.

The messenger from Braavos certainly came with the intention of reconciliation.

The Targaryens are now growing increasingly powerful, and a full-scale war with them is not in Braavos's interest.

Therefore, Braavos's messengers brought a ship full of gold and silver treasures, of enormous value, to Viserys in the hope of easing tensions between the two sides.

of course.

The messenger from Braavos did not come to Pentos with the intention of easing tensions.

Although many people are aware of this from an external perspective, no one has directly exposed it.

The people of Braavos bear a great deal of responsibility for the massacre that occurred in Mil.

Because it was the Dothraki hired by Braavos who attacked Pentos.

However, the Dothraki suffered a setback in their attack on Pentos and were defeated. They then launched a surprise attack on Myr, where they carried out a massacre.

But the people of Braavos were unwilling to take on this responsibility, and even less willing to be nailed to the pillar of historical shame, so they shamelessly refused to admit these crimes.

Closing the door is a way to ease tensions.

Braavos opened the door to celebrate His Majesty Viserys Targaryen III's upcoming sixteenth name day.

It was also a gift presented to mark his coming of age.

Viserys' name day is September 24th, when a grand celebration will be held in the city of Pentos.

With the Targaryens' power rapidly increasing on the continent of Essos, Viserys' coming-of-age ceremony will undoubtedly be very grand.

Regardless of whether they were hostile or friendly, all parties seized this opportunity for exchange, sending envoys ahead of time who are now on their way to Pentos.

Despite a minor disagreement, the bearded monks' relationship with the Targaryens was relatively good, thanks to their later assistance in extinguishing the wildfire in Norfolk, and they even sent messengers.

Although Kohor was far from the emperor's reach, he still sent people to join in and discuss trade-related issues.

After the fall of Myr, the triangular stability of the 'Three Sisters Kingdom' collapsed, and Rhys and Tyrosy are now at odds, with war seemingly imminent.

Therefore, both city-states hoped to win over the Targaryens to support their sovereignty over the disputed territory and to guard against the once again restless Valantis. Both city-states were also full of sincerity in doing so.

The arrogant Valantis, on the other hand, also sent an envoy.

Although the two families had a deep conflict in the past.

As someone who calls herself the 'eldest daughter of Valyria,' Volantis once wanted to unite with the Targaryens to conquer Essos and rebuild the Freehold.

However, they were rejected by Aegon the Conqueror, the then Targaryen patriarch, and the army of Volantis then began to attack Tyrosh, and the war officially broke out.

Aegon rode a dragon into the war and defeated the army of Volantis, thus creating enmity between the two sides.

However, Volantis is now in decline, and the Targaryens have fled to the continent of Essos.

The Elephant Party-led Valantis seems to want to put aside past grievances and re-establish contact with the Targaryens.

Therefore, they came with great sincerity and excellent negotiators.

There was even an exiled prince from the distant Summer Islands, Zale Island.

His fate was similar to Viserys'; he had dark skin and wore a feathered cloak. He was Prince Jalabah Zor, who came from King's Landing.

There is still one month until His Majesty the King's coming-of-age ceremony.

However, many delegations had already gathered in the city of Pentos in a short period of time, and many more were still on their way.

However, one thing after another happened.

While Viserys was still considering whether or not to fall out with Braavos...

After all, such important decisions require careful consideration and cannot be made on a whim.

Moreover, with wars breaking out one after another, Viserys also had to take into account the soldiers' war-weariness and morale.

Meanwhile, another major event occurred in Westeros, across the Narrow Sea.

...

An urgent intelligence report was rushed into Viserys' hands.

This intelligence came from Westeros, and its contents were very simple.

The negotiations between the Wildlings and the Baratheon dynasty broke down, and the King Beyond the Wall sounded the legendary Horn of Winter.

Then a section of the Wall collapsed, and hundreds of thousands of wildlings poured into the North.

That night, King Robert seemed to be quite drunk. Instead of staying at Castle Black, he became aroused and secretly went to Mole Village to spend the night.

Upon learning the news, Eddard Stark, Duke of Winterfell, led a contingent of his personal guards away from the Wall to search for Robert, leaving only Stannis, the Duke, at Castle Black.

That night, Castle Black collapsed, and wildlings poured in. No one could confirm whether the unfortunate Stannis was alive or dead.

Some say Stannis managed to break through the encirclement under the desperate protection of his soldiers, while others say he was simply crushed to death by stones.

The situation was very chaotic at the time, and even the person who delivered the message had difficulty explaining it clearly; much of it was hearsay.

However, the news that a small section of the Wall had collapsed and that hundreds of thousands of wildlings had poured into the North was absolutely true.

The entire North is now in chaos. Apart from the noble lords who own castles, everyone in the villages and farmers outside the cities lives in fear.

Several villages have already been horrified by the massacre of savages.

However, it is said that King Robert and Duke Eddard are both unharmed.

They were not at the Great Wall that night, so they quickly regrouped their remaining troops and launched a counterattack against the savages.

The so-called hundreds of thousands of savages were actually not very strong, and many of them were quickly defeated by the regular army that had recovered.

However, these victories have done little to alleviate the current chaos in the North.

After all, there were too many savages and too few regular soldiers.

Hundreds of thousands of savages roamed around, burning, killing, looting, and causing destruction everywhere. In fact, let alone people, even if it were hundreds of thousands of pigs, it wouldn't be so easy to capture them so quickly.

Moreover, Robert's allied forces were too small. Even with his soldiers running around and conquering, they couldn't capture all the wildlings. They even encountered several ambushes by the wildlings, resulting in the loss of many soldiers.

Viserys was utterly shocked when he saw the intelligence in his hand.

He had not expected the situation in Westeros to suddenly change so dramatically, even more shocking than the destruction of Myr.

What surprised him even more was that the legendary Horn of Winter actually worked.

In his memory, wasn't this thing broken?

Later, during the Night's Watch expedition, he was found by Ghost, the sickly wolf, along with Jon Snow.

He blew on it a few times but couldn't make a sound, and was then taken to the City of College by Sam Tully.

Chapter 285 Building a Fleet

The Great Wall has collapsed.

The devastating impact it had on Westeros was no less significant than the massacre of Myr on Essos.

After all, the two sides were separated by the sea, and Viserys received the news much later than Viserys himself, while the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms learned of it much earlier than Viserys.

It wasn't until this point that they realized... things were getting complicated.

Limited by outdated intelligence transmission tools, in this era, it took time for an important message to be disseminated.

However, the reality is that important information is often highly time-sensitive.

Viserys held the heavy intelligence document in his hand, his face solemn, revealing neither joy nor anger.

To be honest, he didn't feel much schadenfreude; he just felt that things were a bit troublesome.

The Wall was humanity's only barrier against the White Walkers, and its collapse meant that it would be much more difficult for humanity to stop them.

Viserys wanted to see the Baratheon dynasty and the White Walkers fight to the death so he could reap the benefits, not to see the White Walkers completely destroy the Seven Kingdoms.

In that case, the entire Westeros would likely become a ghost town, with all humans dead and the dead roaming the land, creating an unmanageable situation that could even threaten the safety of the humans on the Narrow Sea.

The issues that Viserys was previously struggling with now seem to be no longer a concern.

Reality made the decision for him.

"How is the fleet construction progressing?"

Viserys finished reading the intelligence in his hand, then raised his head and asked.
