Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

If anyone else said such things, it might not be convincing, but Viserys could, and only he was qualified to say them.

The group traveled a great distance to King's Landing to request that the Valyrian Empire take responsibility for saving the fate of the human world and send an army and dragons to fight the White Walkers.

Therefore, before the journey even began, everyone had already assumed that the Empire would lead all of humanity in a war of resistance, and only the Empire could do that.

No other city-state in the Eastern Continent, whether it be Braavos, the Dothraki, or the descendants of the Gugis Empire such as Astapor, Yunkai, Meereen, etc., although they are all regional hegemons on their own and have even more ancient histories, were able to shoulder such a heavy responsibility in this disaster.

With heavy responsibilities on their shoulders, Viserys's division of responsibilities and obligations is very simple: powerful nations bear more responsibility, and according to proportion, weaker nations and city-states also have their own responsibilities. They do not rely entirely on powerful city-states and nations while they sit idly by.

This is a battle for the survival of all mankind. If we still harbor illusions or selfish motives at this time, then we are naturally courting death.

Because of Daenerys' pregnancy, Viserys originally did not intend to leave Westeros. He wanted to stay by Daenerys' side. In fact, he did not expect that the timing would be so perfect that night in the cave, hitting her with one shot. Daenerys' child should have been born that night.

However, just as Viserys received the letter from King's Landing and was preparing to return, Daenerys, with her slightly protruding belly, found him along with his other wife, Rhaenys.

Renis and Daenerys didn't want them to be a burden to Viserys, and told him to go if he needed them in the East and not to worry about them.

Reyne and Daenerys each have their own mounts, protected by Rhaegal and Viserion, while their sister Arianne stays in Highgarden, theoretically safer in the heart of the Empire, with her two children, Diana and Heros, and two dragons by her side.

Arianne, Renis, and Daenerys are all capable of protecting themselves, so there is no need to worry. Although their husbands can fly to the other side of the Eastern Continent to save the world, they will also protect their own homes and share the burden with him.

Viserys was moved by what Reyne and Daenerys said, but at the same time, he began to waver in his previous thoughts.

Ultimately, saving the world is a responsibility I should shoulder.

"Romantic love is a major taboo against responsibility!"

Viserys also recalled the advice his great-great-uncle, the Maester Aemon, had given him: the old man was the oldest living person in the world at that time, but was still in good health.

After Viserys reclaimed the Iron Throne, he invited Maester Aemon to stay in King's Landing, but the old man refused and told him what he had just said.

Maester Aemon wasn't referring to himself, but rather reminding Viserys that in the future, whenever love and responsibility clash, he should make the right choice.

Therefore, during the Night's Watch's northward campaign to reclaim the North, Maester Aemon, despite being nearly a hundred years old, insisted on leaving King's Landing and returning to the Wall to complete his watch.

After the responsibilities of each city-state were clearly defined, the next few days were spent discussing the details of forming a coalition army.

First, they dispatched troops, with each city-state contributing according to its assigned responsibilities. For example, Astapor sent three thousand Unsullied and contributed a large amount of food.

The Dothraki of Mengokao did not engage in production but relied on plunder for survival. Their tribe did not have much food and could not provide large quantities of grain. They needed assistance from other countries and city-states, so they had to send more troops to help in the war.

Braavos dispatched an invincible fleet that could roam the entire Trembling Sea without any rivals.

Volantis provided a powerful army to stop the White Walkers from spreading further across the continent.

At this time, the wooden people of the Kingdom of Everviron claimed that their people possessed an ancient spell that allowed all plants to grow in a magical breeze and survive without sunlight.

Although the wooden men weren't very efficient, it was still a big surprise. At least everyone present was at the top of the pyramid in this world. Even if the resistance failed and everyone starved to death, they would definitely be the last ones to die of starvation.

Under the cover of night, King's Landing is holding a high-level meeting of humankind, where world leaders are discussing the specifics of forming a coalition army. Although the situation is extremely urgent, it cannot be taken lightly.

For a war to be won, soldiers must fight bravely on the battlefield, commanders must make correct judgments, and logistical support from the rear must be in place. This is especially true when facing such an enemy, where extra caution is required.

Meanwhile, Viserys was not idle during the time the Supreme Human Council was being held.

He took out several Valyrian steel swords treasured in the warehouse. These were all seized during the conquest war and stored in the national treasury as spoils of war after the war ended.

These Valyrian steel weapons are the Stark family's "Ice", the Tarly family's "Heartbreaker", and the Hightower family's "Vigilance". Although this sword was claimed to be lost, it was found when the Hightower family was raided.

Besides these swords, there were also some daggers, knives, rings, and other small items. Viserys had intentionally collected quite a few Valyrian steel items, and today they finally came in handy.

Viserys found the Minister of Crafts, Tob Moso, and asked him to remelt all the Valyrian steel weapons and forge them into a new dragon spear, which he would carry to the Eastern Continent to fight the Night King.

The master craftsman Tob Moso, who had once forged swords for Viserys, excitedly accepted the emperor's order.

While the meeting was still in progress, he had already remelted these Valyrian steel weapons and was working on creating the largest Valyrian steel weapon in the current historical records.

Chapter 801 The Rebels

clang--

clang--

Inside the forge in King's Landing, a bustling scene unfolded. Tob Mosso, the master craftsman who had forged swords for Viserys, removed his shirt, revealing his muscular physique. Despite his advanced age, he maintained a remarkably good physique thanks to his frequent physical labor.

After Viserys lifted the ban and allowed the former queen Cersei to leave the Red Keep, he wanted to marry her and have a child to join the ranks of the nobility.

Unfortunately, Cersei is only thirty-four years old now, and time has not left too many marks on her. Her appearance is still bright and beautiful, attracting Euron Greyjoy, the governor of the Iron Islands.

Euron insisted on marrying Cersei, disregarding her past misdeeds and the scandalous history that had been talked about for years among the people of King's Landing. Given that there were better options, Cersei naturally looked down on him, a lowly old man who had risen to power by chance, and ultimately chose to marry Euron.

Meanwhile, the master craftsman Tob Mosso and his apprentices were working hard to forge divine weapons, sending one after another once-renowned weapon into the furnace to be reforged.

These divine weapons were once symbols of royal power, such as the Ice of House Stark. This greatsword stands taller than Robb Stark, is wider than a palm, and has a blade forged from Valyrian steel as dark as black smoke.

This sword is too big to be used in battle. Eddard once wielded it to kill a White Walker, but he would soon be out of breath. King Robert, known for his strength and bravery, also wielded this sword to kill the first White Walker in eight thousand years.

However, this sword has now been sent into the furnace to be reforged. Its history and past, as well as the authority of the successive kings of the North, have all been melted into a pool of molten iron in the furnace, and finally added to the new divine weapon, becoming the 'Rebel' Godslayer Spear.

This was a name Viserys himself had chosen, and when High Craftsman Tob Moso heard it, his body trembled slightly, and an endless sense of dread rose within him.

Limited by his limited perspective, he didn't know why His Majesty the Emperor had given such a name to this unfinished dragon spear, but he dared not voice his opposition, so he could only comply.

Outside the foundry, Viserys stood on the second floor, quietly overlooking the bustling scene below, with a woman beside him.

The woman, dressed in loose robes and wearing a red lacquered wooden mask, was a Dothraki messenger who called herself a Shadowbinder from Asshal, named Quetzalcoatl.

She had taken the initiative to speak privately with Viserys a few days earlier, after a meeting to discuss the details.

The lizard bluntly told Viserys that the current 'Khal of Khals,' the Dothraki 'King' Khal Mengo, was actually the same Khal Drogo he had burned to death.

Viserys was just a young boy leading an army for the first time, and Drogo, who had recently succeeded his father as Khal Karak and become Khal, was also young and inexperienced. However, Drogo was tall and had a full beard, making him look older.

The arrogant young Drogo led his tribe westward, preparing to plunder and conquer the newly established Andal city of Andalus.

Viserys, under pressure, led his army to personally confront the Dothraki raids. Thus, the two boys engaged in a fierce battle in Gordor, the former homeland of the Rhoynar, on the eastern border of the Empire.

Ultimately, Drogo, who had not yet matured, suffered a Waterloo on western soil. He underestimated his enemy and recklessly advanced, falling right into Viserys's ambush, where he was burned alive by a great fire.

After the war ended, Viserys found Drogo's body, confirmed his death, and gave him a proper burial.

But he didn't expect that three Shadowbinders from the East, including the Kui Lizard, would find Drogo's body and use necromancy to 'resurrect' him.

Then, the Shadowbinders from the East, including the Kui Lizard, used shadow magic to manipulate Drogo's corpse, regrouping some of the remaining forces and returning them to the Great Grass Sea. They also changed their name to Khal Mengo, the same name as the first Khal to unify the Dothraki.

In the end, the Holy City was stained with blood, a tragedy for the grassland knights. After a fierce battle with Vis Dothraki, Khal Mengo completely unified the Great Grass Sea and became the undisputed King of Kings among the Dothraki.

Viserys never imagined that this 'Mengol Khal', whose name he had never heard of in the original timeline but who suddenly rose to prominence in this era and swept across the Great Grass Sea to unify the Dothraki tribes, was actually Drogo, whom he had burned to death. At that time, he was somewhat curious about who this person was.

Unfortunately, he is gone, and what is now being controlled by the lizards and others is nothing more than Drogo's corpse. Otherwise, Viserys would really like to have a chat with Drogo.

Because the world has changed so much, the world he once knew has become unrecognizable under his influence.

Drogo led his tribe westward and nearly killed young Viserys in his cradle; it was the most perilous moment of Viserys' life.

Drogo was definitely one of Viserys' most respected rivals. Viserys hadn't fully matured at that time, and Drogo was also just beginning to show his talent. Unfortunately, the two rivals, who should have been vying for supremacy in the East, engaged in a life-or-death battle prematurely.

However, the past is the past, and the dead cannot be brought back to life. The fear they once faced is now nothing more than a laugh. Even if more than 100,000 Slarks were to march westward now, they would only be ashes under the dragon's flames. Viserys only sighed slightly.

After openly revealing his identity, Kui Lizard explained his purpose and objective.

She came to the Western world and used necromancy to resurrect Drogo's body, but only to use it to lead the Dothraki to save her homeland.

Because the Shadowbinders of the East had long ago foreseen the impending doom of the world.

Unfortunately, the Dothraki army encountered the Golden Empire in the east, and the two major powers spanning the east and west clashed fiercely, ultimately resulting in mutual destruction.

The Dothraki suffered a crushing defeat and fled back to the Western World in disarray, failing to reach Asshal in the shadows.

The fact that the entire world has now fallen into a long night is also beyond the expectations of Kui Lizard and the others.

Because she only foresaw that a world-destroying crisis was brewing in the East.

She had expected a monster uprising in the Gray Wasteland that would destroy Asshal, but she never imagined it would be the arrival of a long night, a catastrophe for the entire world.

Chapter 802 Glass Candle

"Valirian steel is a type of steel infused with magic."

"Valirian craftsmen used repeated forging to balance and remove impurities from the steel, and then applied spells to imbue the steel with extraordinary properties."

Looking at the bustling scene of people working below, the Kui Lizard, standing beside Viserys, wearing a robe and a mask, spoke in a cool voice.

"This person is quite skilled, but unfortunately he only has the skill to recast Valyrian steel, not the ability to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary and transform ordinary steel into Valyrian steel."

"The world's best craftsmen are all in Kohor. Now that Kohor has been occupied by the Cult of the Red God, many craftsmen have escaped. Your Majesty might as well recruit some of them."

Viserys turned to look at her after hearing what the lizard said. He hadn't expected this woman to even know a little about Valyrian steel.

However, the lizard seemed to understand the meaning in Viserys' eyes and nodded.

"In Char, there are no secrets."

Quetzal told Viserys that her homeland Asher was a great city, bigger than Volantis, Qarth, King's Landing, and Oldtown combined.

Furthermore, the Asshai people do not know who created it. There has always been a local belief that Asshai has been standing here since the beginning of creation and will continue to exist here until the day the world is destroyed.

This is a city steeped in magic, where many secrets that cannot be made public can be discussed.

"If you have any doubts, you might as well come to Assassin in the future."

"It should be understood that sometimes, to move forward, one must retreat; to see the light, one must pass through the shadows."

The lizard sensed the doubts in Viserys's heart, so she suggested that Viserys could go to Assassin's Island someday to find the answers.

If we were to ask where the place in this world has the fewest secrets, then...

Perhaps it is Asahi.

Even Viserys Reynolds and Daenerys's three dragons, Balerion, Viserion, and Rego, were bought by Illyrio from Asher when they were still dragon eggs.

However, by then dragons had disappeared from the world, and no one could hatch dragon eggs. The dragon eggs were nothing more than pretty stones, so the price Illyrio paid was not too great.

The world now shows signs of dragon activity, and a single dragon egg is quite valuable, yet it's practically priceless.

"Hmm, maybe there's a chance."

Viserys turned to look at her after hearing the lizard's suggestion, and then nodded slightly.

However, at this moment, Viserys looked at the mask on the woman's face and suddenly became curious about what was under the mask of the lizard.

Why do you always wear a mask?
