After all, this world has gods and magic, so it's not surprising that it has anything else.
Before things were fully resolved, Viserys could only suppress his curiosity for the time being and focus on managing the vast empire he had built up, lest it be abandoned halfway and all his previous efforts be wasted.
These things can only be accomplished after the enemies from the Land of Eternal Winter are completely defeated, and the secrets of the Valyrian ruins are unraveled.
However, now, the sound of a quill pen scratching on paper fills the room as a woman with short, black hair and a high nose bridge writes this letter.
This is perhaps the least perfect part of Asha's face. She should have been a beauty, and her hands are rougher and stronger than those of an average woman. However, her smile makes up for all of this.
Lars.
"come over."
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, a final civil war is breaking out in the Kingdom of the Three Daughters on the Narrow Sea.
Both sides deployed their forces on both the land and sea. On the ground, Tyros's mercenary group was in formation, facing the combined forces of Myr and Rhys, as well as the Cat Legion hired by the Pirate Prince.
On the sea, the battle-hardened pirates under Salado Sun became the main force of the allied forces, in addition to a large number of ships provided by the Governor's Council of Rhys, many of which were even temporarily converted from merchant ships into warships.
Now both sides are completely bloodthirsty. In the war that has lasted for less than a month, they have deployed tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of warships to fight in the disputed territory and the waters near the Stone Steps Islands.
More than a hundred warships have sunk into the sea, and the number of dead and wounded soldiers is countless.
The Governors Council of Reece had not originally intended to invest so much in this war.
However, for some unknown reason, Lord Tyrothy seemed determined to annihilate Rhys and Myr in one fell swoop, devouring the entire Kingdom of the Three Daughters. As a result, the governors of Rhys had no choice but to grit their teeth and persevere.
And now, in the sky above this battlefield, an eagle that should not be on the sea is soaring.
Its sharp eyes surveyed the battle below, and at the same time, the scene seen through the eagle's eyes was also reflected in Viserys's eyes.
The area where the Stone Steps Islands are located has actually reached the limit of Viserys's power coverage.
If it flies further east, the eagle might escape Viserys's control and be disconnected, as the influence of the Old Gods only applies to the land of Westeros.
Viserys had actually anticipated this world-renowned war.
In fact, he didn't initially focus on this area, but simply handed it over to Rams to do as he pleased. However, he didn't expect Rams to be so good at causing trouble, turning the Three Daughters Kingdom into chaos and eventually leading to a civil war.
However, Ramsay's methods are not complicated. He is good at exploiting people's desires, which is similar to Littlefinger. He also uses the Empire's powerful influence to support proxies and deal with those who are unwilling to cooperate.
Then the final battle finally broke out, with shouts of battle echoing across the land and warships roaring on the sea.
"Everyone!"
"Prepare the catapults!"
"put!"
Boom boom boom—
Giant rocks, doused with kerosene and ablaze with flames, flew into the enemy fleet, leaving behind long tails. The sea was littered with shattered warships and soldiers struggling in the water.
Pirate Prince Salado Sun personally commanded the naval battle on the front lines. This war was the final battle between the two sides, and there was no room for error. Governor Reese and Lord Tyrosi also came to the battlefield, but they both hid at the very back of the battlefield.
"kill!"
The battle lasted all day, with both sides fighting with bloodshot eyes.
But in the end, the Tyrosian army was the first to withdraw from the battle.
However, the combined forces of Rhys and Mill were exhausted and had no strength to pursue, so they could only silently let the defeated army retreat.
Both sides withdrew from the battlefield, leaving behind billowing smoke and countless wrecked ships on the sea, while the number of corpses on the ground was even greater.
The combined forces of Rhys and Myr achieved victory in the final battle, successfully defeating Tyroth and shattering their ambition to unify the Three Daughters Kingdom.
Meanwhile, the victory in the war naturally warranted celebration, especially since they had defeated their number one enemy. The entire Ries military camp was filled with a sea of jubilation.
The governors of Rees, including Humphrey Hightower and Tregue Omeren, were all present.
However, just as the wine was being poured and people were exchanging toasts, an unexpected event occurred: Salado Sunn and his gang of pirates suddenly surrounded all the places where the governors of Ries were feasting.
The young Governor Humphrey Hightower and his brother-in-law Treig Omeren also suddenly drew their swords and stepped forward.
Chapter 728 Coup
The governors of Rees were celebrating their victory with toasts and drinks, and they were all quite drunk.
However, at that moment, a sudden commotion arose outside, and everyone present shivered, instantly sobering up from the alcohol they had just drunk.
Because the young, handsome, blond Governor Rees, who was also the number one hero of this war, suddenly stood up and drew his sword.
"Hey kid!"
What do you want to do?
Meanwhile, another white-haired governor of Rees, trembling, stood up, supporting himself on the table, and reprimanded him without any politeness.
Although Humphrey Hightower was the number one contributor to this war, he was the one who contacted the pirate prince Salado Sun of Myre and personally commanded the battle.
With the help of the Myrs, the combined forces of Rhys and Myrs finally defeated Lord Tyrothy, shattering his ambition to unify the kingdoms of the Three Daughters.
Despite Humphrey Hightower's great achievements, the other governors of Rees did not actually think much of him.
Firstly, the other party was too young, and secondly, the Hightower family had lost its foundation and was destroyed by the Iron Throne, and was now a wandering fugitive struggling to survive in Rhys.
If one day the Emperor of Valyria were to demand that the Reiss hand over Humphrey, they would probably not hesitate to bind him and hand him over.
Therefore, the other governors of Rees had bullied Humphrey to varying degrees in business before, after all, he was the youngest governor and had no powerful backers.
However, the blond young man, who was usually patient and restrained, did not choose to continue to endure this time. Humphrey Hightower held his longsword and a cold smile appeared on his face.
"When marginal figures rise to power, someone in the core of power must step down."
"This is common."
"Whether voluntary or not."
Although Humphrey Hightower was the newly appointed governor of Rhys, his life in Rhys was not pleasant. The main reason was that the power among the governors was not equal. There were relatively strong governors, as well as relatively weak ones.
Unfortunately, as an outsider, Humphrey faced a lot of ostracism in the Governor's Council of Reece, and his brother-in-law, Treig O'Morren, couldn't help him either.
In fact, all the governors of Ries present were well aware of these matters, so upon hearing what the other party said, everyone understood immediately.
"So you colluded with that treacherous robber?"
"Seeking to rise above you, a marginal figure?"
The white-haired Governor Rees, leaning on the table, spoke with a sarcastic expression.
"Hmph, I told you long ago that these kinds of robbers are not to be trusted."
Another governor of Rees also chimed in.
"Without these pirates, we couldn't have won this war."
Humphrey Hightower's brother-in-law, Treig Omeren, shook his head upon hearing this, and spoke with a smile.
At this moment, there was a great commotion outside, with shouts of battle everywhere. Guards had just come in to report that the pirate Salado Sun was besieging Reese's camp with his men.
The obese merchant governor, who struggled to even sit in a chair, looked harmless. Who would suspect this fat guy who had trouble walking?
And actually, what Trigger said wasn't wrong. Without these pirates, the Ries wouldn't have won this war, and the Three Daughters Kingdom might have already been unified by the Tyrothians.
However, there were still other governors of Reese who couldn't stand the fact that Treig Omeren could still wear a smile on his face.
Keep in mind that a battle is raging outside. Although these pirates may not be able to break through, there is a traitor among them, Humphrey Hightower, who is so ignorant of his own limitations.
"Treig, how can you still laugh at a time like this?"
Meanwhile, some people spoke with unease, saying that they had a bad feeling. Their eyes kept falling on Humphrey Hightower, who had just drawn his sword, and on Trey Omeren, who was sitting in his chair with a strange smile on his face.
Their relationship was kept very secret; no one knew that Treig Omeren was Humphrey Hightower's brother-in-law.
"You know, we're all right here now. What if that pirate wipes us all out..."
Because this decisive battle was of paramount importance, everyone gathered at the rear to oversee the battle at Tregoon's request, while Highlord Tyrosh also personally led the charge. This was a war that neither side could afford to lose.
If the Tyrosi side loses the war, they will lose the best opportunity in hundreds of years to unify the Three Daughters Kingdom region, and will be severely weakened and unable to recover, because they have invested too much in this war and cannot afford to fail.
On the other hand, Reese and the rebuilding Mill both had reasons not to lose.
Myr had been ravaged by the Dothraki and was now a city rebuilt from ruins. High Lord Tyrothy had been planning this for a long time, and the Rhys were unprepared and ill-prepared for the war, so they were caught off guard. If the Rhys and Myr's allied forces lost the war, they would be destroyed and unified by the Tyrothy.
Therefore, the governors of Rees gathered together, never expecting that there was a traitor among them.
Furthermore, the traitor and the pirate prince they despised conspired to wipe out everyone present after winning the war.
"Your ambition is truly exhilarating, kid."
"You want to be the King of Ries?"
“But you can’t rule Ries with a bandit and a fallen nobleman from out of town.”
After his sarcastic remark, the white-haired Governor of Rees waved his hand dismissively and spoke.
“The noble-blooded Rhys are not Westeros; they won’t believe your tricks about lords and nobles.”
"And your bandit friends haven't broken in yet. Even if they do, you'll probably die here first."
However, Humphrey Hightower, who was being ridiculed by the governors of Rees, was not angry.
The young governor with blond hair gripped his longsword, and the guards around him tensely held their weapons as well, but he himself appeared calm and showed no awareness of being surrounded.
“Yes, I would probably be dead before Salado Sun even gets through.”
Humphrey remained fearless and chuckled coldly before speaking.
“But I will not be the king of Rhys, nor do I want to be the king of Rhys.”
"Oh?"
On the other side, the elderly Governor of Rees was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
He didn't understand why Humphrey Hightower went to such great lengths and paid such a high price, even giving up his position as governor of Rhys to collude with the great pirate Salado Sunn, if not to further his ambition of becoming the king of Rhys.
Chapter 729 Prince Rees
"Because I am the one who will be Prince of Ries."
At that moment, Treig Omeren, who was sitting next to the white-haired Governor of Reese, suddenly spoke up.
