A king who stands idly by, watching his people slaughtered by the White Walkers, and who, in the future, leads a large number of foreigners to betray his own country and massacre his soldiers when the living and the dead are both weakened...
How much public trust and support can he gain?
A concentrated explanation of this plot
Actually, I haven't read the chapter comments or reviews lately because I'm in a bad state of mind; reading them makes me lose confidence and give up on myself.
However, the operations officer contacted me yesterday, wanting me to explain the plot. Actually, this thing is... quite easy to understand.
The author is like God in the book; how could I possibly let Viserys miss such a great battle? He will definitely come back.
Moreover, this plot was designed in the outline. Since the choice was made to sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight, it was definitely not the first thing to do.
Otherwise, it's like offering a cold shoulder to someone who hasn't even lost yet, so why are you rushing over there in such a hurry?
If Viserys doesn't immediately join the battle, what has he been doing all this time?
Yes, this period is a vacuum in the main character's storyline.
Because the focus of this plot must be the war between Robert's allied forces and the White Walkers, with a large amount of space devoted to describing the progress of the war, and Viserys has no plot, it would also cause the main and supporting roles to be reversed.
The Valyrian ruins are a very important part of the story, related to the grand finale. They won't be explored in one go; the sixth volume will focus on them.
As for the matter of Drogo (sigh, why did everyone rush to criticize without even watching the whole thing?).
Actually, Melisandre's warning foreshadowed the appearance of some 'magicians'.
When he first appeared, he was described as silent and resembling a vengeful ghost, which terrified everyone.
Finally... well, whether you like this book or not, thank you all for your support now and in the past.
Next, I'll post a map of Valyria and the location of the main character.
Chapter 327 Attack
Viserys certainly possessed formidable military power.
He commanded an army of over 60,000 men and possessed three enormous dragons that would grow ever larger. He had fame, wealth, and military power.
Viserys could have easily conquered the seven kingdoms by force, silencing all dissenting voices.
Therefore, he could disregard the trust of the nobles of the seven kingdoms, and even strip them all of their titles and status, replacing them with foreigners.
Alternatively, one could rule by violence without gaining the trust and support of the people of Westeros.
But if he has neither, what use is the throne to Viserys?
Viserys was well aware that ruling is more difficult than conquering.
That's why he didn't want to get involved in the war too early.
And they didn't want to give others a reason to criticize them, to be accused of refusing to help those in need, or even to betray the Allied forces in a war between the living and the dead that concerns all of humanity.
That's why Viserys chose this moment to leave Pentos.
Since all his men had left Pentos, no one could find fault with him in this regard.
In the future, he could even descend as a savior, winning more public support.
This is Viserys' ideal plan.
However, the problem is also obvious: the distance is too far.
The connection between Bessie, the 'servant' he subdued by injecting black mist, and Viserys had long been severed.
Viserys is currently unable to communicate directly with Bessie, which he suspects is due to the distance, rather than the fact that they are in a special region.
Because Viserys is still able to communicate with the black dragon Balerren.
Although contact has been severed, he doesn't think the two sides will quickly determine a winner.
The chances of the human alliance defeating the undead army are slim, given that the enemy is a cheat that seems to grow stronger the more they fight.
It wouldn't be easy for the allied forces to collapse in a short time, after all, this was the army of seven nations, the Baratheon dynasty's strongest trump card, not to mention the numerous natural defenses behind the allied forces.
The easily defensible Kalin Bay, the perilous Neck Swamp, the Blood Gate in the Vale, the Twins, Casterly Rock, and more...
The possibility that humanity could defend natural defenses to stop the White Walkers still exists.
However, the greatest natural barrier that humanity can rely on is the Wall. With the Wall there, the magic of the White Walkers cannot cross the border.
But who made the Great Wall collapse because of internal strife among humankind?
Viserys was thinking about the outside world, while the expedition exploring the Valyrian ruins continued its journey.
They traveled along this ancient dragon path without encountering any trouble throughout the day, which made everyone feel very fortunate.
The expedition then set up camp for the night in a suitable spot along the main road, and continued their journey to the capital of Valyria the next day.
However, the expedition's joy was short-lived, as the perilous environment naturally did not offer smooth sailing.
Viserys was in the middle of the group, and he had already keenly noticed that more and more figures were lurking in the woods beside the road.
Their eyes were bloodshot, and saliva was dripping from their mouths. If it weren't for the sheer number of the expedition team making these monsters hesitate, they might have already pounced on them.
Be careful.
"Stay vigilant—"
Viserys was the first to become alert, gripping the hilt of his sword with one hand.
The mercenaries and slaves around them were clearly unaware of the impending danger.
"Ah."
Upon hearing Viserys's warning, Mia tensed up and softly hummed in agreement.
bass--
She drew a dagger from her thigh, skillfully performed a 'dagger dance,' and then gripped it tightly in her hand. 'Iron Fist' Guts and his henchmen became alert.
And at this time.
A crisis suddenly struck.
The number of monsters hiding in the woods and spying on humans had been increasing, and finally one of them couldn't resist and pounced first.
Roar--
They hadn't seen so much blood and goat food in a long time. Saliva dripped from their sharp fangs as they let out a terrifying roar and suddenly burst out of the woods, biting down on the neck of an unsuspecting slave.
The slave had a short sword at his waist and was using a stick to beat the grass to keep snakes away.
But he never expected that such a black and white furry monster was hidden in the forest.
The monster ran at incredible speed on all fours, then opened its sharp fangs and bit into his throat, crushing his trachea.
Blood gushed out instantly and flowed back into the trachea. He couldn't even cry for help before being dragged and bitten by the monster into the forest.
"Enemy attack!!"
The monster suddenly launched an attack. The team reacted quickly. The slaves were not good at fighting and scattered and fled, while the mercenaries drew their weapons and rushed forward.
"Quickly, form a battle formation and kill all these monsters!"
Upon seeing the trouble, the expedition's commander, Wilde, mounted on his warhorse, spurred his horse forward and shouted orders.
Unfortunately, the mercenaries were not the soldiers he usually trained.
These mercenaries may be stronger than ordinary soldiers when fighting alone, but they lack teamwork skills and do not know how to form formations, easily falling into a state of fighting alone.
The commander's orders did not affect many people; only a few dozen people formed a circular formation in an attempt to resist the monsters.
Most mercenaries, however, choose to fight individually.
"kill!"
puff--
A mercenary pierced a monster's throat with a longsword, but before he could get up, another monster smashed his head with its claws.
Viserys also joined the melee; his swordsmanship was superb, and his speed, strength, and reaction time far surpassed those of ordinary people.
The monster's face was ferocious, resembling a werewolf, with sharp, blood-stained fangs and a pair of scarlet eyes.
Its powerful hind limbs give it a great jumping ability, and its dark claws easily rip open a mercenary's stomach.
"Roar--"
The monster killed a mercenary with a terrifying roar, and then pounced on Viserys in an instant.
"careful!"
Mia saw the monster fixate on Viserys and her heart tightened slightly. She exclaimed in surprise.
Viserys was focused on the monster's attack and ignored Mia's voice. He calmly watched the monster pounce on him, holding his blood-stained longsword in one hand.
Then, just as the werewolf was about to pounce on him, he quickly dodged the monster's attack.
Then, the longsword in his hand easily pierced through the werewolf's belly.
puff--
His movements were extremely swift.
It looked like a highly skilled butcher, his longsword tearing through the monster's belly and shredding its internal organs.
Chapter 328 Plague
The monster let out a painful howl, but it did not collapse immediately; instead, it became even more ferocious.
With a roar, it pounced again, its black claws lashing out, trying to tear Viserys to shreds.
However, Viserys's body had been enhanced, and his speed and strength in all aspects far surpassed those of ordinary people.
Although the monster was fast, it was like it was moving in slow motion in front of Viserys.
The silver-haired youth's pale purple eyes gleamed slightly as he rapidly analyzed the monster's dying struggle and lunge, his hand gripping his longsword tightly.
"too slow."
He then easily dodged it once again, appearing completely at ease.
