Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Benello, the High Priest of the Crimson Cult, originally wanted to escape through the tunnel, but was caught red-handed by soldiers from the Three Sisters Kingdom.

Benello led the temple's guardians, the Hands of the Holy Fire, in a desperate counterattack. However, even the strongest fists cannot fight against overwhelming numbers. Benello's powerful magic was no match for the soldiers' siege.

In the end, all the temple guards were killed, and Bennell himself was captured alive and brought before Daenerys.

The Empire is currently in the era of the Three Queens, and the actual control of the Empire is in the hands of the three Queens: Arianne, Renis, and Daenerys. Therefore, each of the Queens is equivalent to an Empress in the eyes of the public.

Daenerys wore a magnificent black velvet robe, a white fur shawl, and a black cape, fastened at the chest with a silver dragon clasp.

She had long, slightly wavy, silver-gold hair and an exceptionally beautiful face; any ordinary man who saw her would be irresistibly attracted and captivated.

At this moment, Daenerys sat in the city hall of Volantis, accompanied by Unsullied guards who served as the young queen's private army, guarding every corner of the mansion to guard against assassins.

Most of the city of Valantis had been captured by the imperial army. The Valantis people had put up a very strong resistance against the invaders, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too great.

The imperial army blockaded Volantis from land, sea, and air, completely surrounding it. Even three days before the war began, three Valyrian dragons launched a surprise air raid under the cover of night, burning all the ships in the port of Volantis, whether warships or merchant ships, to ashes.

These Valantis nobles and princes were unable to escape by ship or transfer their property; they were all trapped within the city-state until the imperial army began to besiege it on the ground.

Ground battles are the only place where the Valantis army has a chance to turn the tide, because the Valantis Tiger Robe Army is also the most powerful army in the continent of Essos.

However, the Tiger Robe Army ran into the Iron-Faced War God, one of the two pillars of the empire, the commander-in-chief of the First Legion of the empire, and the governor of Pentos.

Just a few years ago, Bessie led the human alliance to victory in the war that saved the world, making her a formidable force on the continent of Essos. Moreover, Bessie now commands the powerful Imperial Army, with some Dothraki also participating in the war.

The two sides fought three battles outside the city. Valantis was defeated in all three battles and eventually retreated into the city, hoping to resist the empire's invaders by adopting a scorched-earth policy and holding out to the death.

However, Marajo Megia, the commander-in-chief of the Valantis army and the Tiger Party's governor, had a good plan. He also knew Bessie, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial army, very well because the two had fought side by side as comrades in the Battle of Kohol.

The commander of the Valantis army believed that Bessi was a cautious strategist and would not launch a strong offensive. If the delay went on, the Imperial army's logistical support would be insufficient, and Bessi might choose to withdraw.

Malajo Megia had a good impression of Bessie. Bessie did tend to be cautious in his military tactics and rarely chose to take risks. However, he misjudged the cost the Empire was investing in this war and its determination to conquer Valantis.

The logistics support for the Imperial expeditionary force to Volantis was directly handled by Dorne, the Three Sisters Kingdom, and Pentos, with a steady stream of fleets laden with supplies arriving at the front lines.

If the Valantis navy were still intact, it might be able to send warships to harass and cut off the Imperial army's supply lines.

However, before the war began, the Empire sent three giant dragons to launch a surprise attack, which directly annihilated the already weak navy of Valantis.

Today, the coast of Valantis and the mouth of the Lorne River are completely surrounded by the Imperial Navy, and Valantis ships have no chance to go to sea and can only be surrounded.

Finally, war broke out. Valantis held out for half a month before its walls were breached. Dophas Panimion, the Elephantist governor of Valantis, became a collaborator, leading to the complete defeat of the Valantis army.

The Tiger Robe Army's street fighting lasted only two days before Daenerys was already seated in the Volantis City Hall, with Dophas Penemin standing by as an accompaniment.

Sporadic fighting is still taking place in the city of Valantis. Another Elephant Party governor, Elios Chijeda, has been killed, while the Tiger Party governor, Malajo Megaya, who is also the commander of the Valantis army, is still missing and has not been captured.

However, the target of this operation, the High Priest Benello of the Cult of the Red God, had already been captured.

Benello was led into the fountain garden, where Daenerys was waiting for him.

"You're the one who sent people to assassinate my son?"

The little queen, with her long silver-gold hair, sat on the chair with a cold expression. She slightly raised her delicate chin and asked in a chilling voice.

Daenerys wanted nothing less than to kill the person responsible for her son's assassination.

"His Majesty."

"The world is going astray."

Benello, who was brought in, had his hands broken because he needed them to cast spells. His legs were also bound with chains, and he was covered in blood and looked utterly wretched.

But this tall, thin priest with milky-white skin and tattoos covering his head and lips did not answer Daenerys's question directly. Instead, he spoke in a sharp voice.

"There can only be one hero in the world. Daenerys should have had three dragons!"

"Your brother and your husband should not exist in this world!"

Ben-Nero spoke in a high-pitched, shrill voice, spouting incomprehensible nonsense. He saw the truth within the flames; it was a revelation from God.

Although those around Bennell, including Daenerys, couldn't understand him, what he was saying was actually the truth.

Viserys should not exist in this world.

This world should be a song of ice and fire, but the two powers of ice and fire cannot be concentrated in one person. This violates the laws of this world, subverts its rules, and disrupts the exchange of day and night and the seasons.

Benello stubbornly believes that the current cycle of seasons and the stable day and night is a mistake.

However, his loud voice did not attract Daenerys's attention; instead, he was met with a look of disgust from the little queen.

"So, it really was the Crimson God who wanted to assassinate my son?"

"What kind of good thing is a god that would harm children?"

"It seems that Rahlo is also an evil god."

Daenerys spoke with disgust, then waved her hand, ordering her soldiers to take Benello away to await public execution.

Daenerys then ordered the eradication of everything in Volantis that was associated with R'hllor, and that anyone who resisted be killed without mercy.

Chapter 934 Massacre of the City

Because of the change in fate, Daenerys's personality also changed drastically from the original trajectory.

In the original Trails series, young Daenerys was a timid and insecure little girl whose life consisted only of exile, and who was very dependent on her cruel and irritable older brother.

Therefore, after Daenerys grew up independently, she never forgot her tragic childhood, which made her more compassionate and kind compared to other potential conquerors.

Later in her reign, she consistently upheld her principles of 'fairness' and 'justice' throughout her rule.

However, Daenerys's compassion and morality are relative; she can also be ruthless and cold-blooded when facing enemies.

In this life, Daenerys' life did not follow the original path because the man who had the greatest influence on her, Viserys, underwent a fundamental change.

Viserys was no longer cruel, irritable, and easily angered; instead, he became a brave, calm, and resourceful young man. Thus, he led his sister and niece down a different path, leading House Targaryen to begin its revival.

On this path, Daenerys did not suffer much of the pain of exile, because those most difficult times happened before Daenerys could remember. Relatively speaking, it was Rhaenys who was the one who started the business with Viserys.

Therefore, Daenerys never experienced setbacks. From the time she could remember, she was the high and mighty little princess of Andalus. Compared to the original timeline, she had much less sympathy for the poor because she no longer felt their pain.

However, there is a saying in Westeros: 'Targians are either mad or great.'

Daenerys lost much of her empathy for the lower classes in this life, but seems to have inherited more of the innate great leadership qualities of the Targaryen family.

She was more like a born empress, even more ruthless and cold-blooded than in her previous life.

Her words, once spoken, brought great calamity to Valantis, the city-state that had been conquered by the imperial army.

The Valantis' last resistance was quickly crushed. The Tiger-Robed Army's commander, Malacho Megaya, committed suicide by sword. Only one body was brought back, and its head was cut off and hung high on the city wall to intimidate the enemy.

"Open the door!"

"Open the door!"

Swish swish swish—

On the streets of Valantis, shouts and cheers filled the air, the sound of boots hitting the ground echoing in unison as rows and columns of Imperial soldiers in black and red armor began to charge out in all directions.

Smash it!

"Burn all of this stuff, leave nothing behind!"

"Leave no one alive!"

They relentlessly attacked, smashed, looted, and burned, destroying everything in the city of Valantis that was related to the Red God Rahlo.

During this process, some followers of the Crimson God Church could no longer endure it and began to fight back, but they were met with ruthless suppression and massacre by imperial soldiers.

"What do you heretics want to do!"

Imperial soldiers stormed into civilian homes and smashed the statue of the Red God Rahlo. A hot-blooded young man stood up and tried to stop them, fighting with the fully armed soldiers for the statue.

"court death!"

However, he was stabbed through the chest by the opponent's sword and immediately fell into a pool of blood.

"God will punish you!"

"You evil heretics!"

"The Lord of Light's Assembly..."

On the other side, the young believer's father, with gray hair, pointed trembling fingers at the murderer who killed his son.

However, his neck was mercilessly slit by the imperial soldiers, and blood spurted out.

"Ho ho-"

The old man clutched his neck, his face still filled with resentment, but the Imperial soldier, clad in black and red armor and wearing a Targaryen cloak, stared coldly at him and spoke in an icy voice.

"Rahlo sent assassins to try and kill our prince."

"Isn't such a god an evil god?"

"Moreover, the gods in heaven have killed far more people. If there is to be punishment, He should punish Himself first."

Snapped--

"go!"

The imperial soldier then sheathed his blood-stained sword and strode away.

The Red God cult follower lay motionless in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open, and soon fell silent.

However, after the imperial soldiers had gone far away, the old man lying in the pool of blood blinked again, his eyes glowing with a blue light. He got up from the ground and touched his neck.

Then his gaze turned to the distance, but there was no resentment, only scrutiny, as if a different person had entered this body, before he quickly disappeared from the spot.

This was just a small episode in the war. In reality, at Daenerys's command, Volantis, which had been occupied by the Imperial army, was plunged into a catastrophe.

All the temples, statues and other structures associated with Lahllo were destroyed. Those who surrendered without resistance were unharmed, while those who resisted were executed in the street as a warning to others.

"The war between gods is more brutal and naked than the war between mortals."

"There is no room for sentimentality in a battle of beliefs."

"Therefore, we must strike our enemy regardless of the consequences."

These were actually the words Viserys gave to his three wives before he went into seclusion.

In the War of the Gods, the gods of Westeros unsurprisingly fell into a disadvantageous position. Viserys's killing of the Trinity only slightly alleviated the situation, but he himself withdrew from the battle, which meant he did not help at all. Therefore, Viserys had to make use of his advantage in the mortal world.

Since we can't defeat them in the sky, let's crush the foundations of these gods of the Raholo faction on the ground, eradicate their faith, and cut off the source of their power.

Therefore, Daenerys's cold-heartedness in Volantis was not without reason, and was not entirely for the purpose of avenging her son. Even though her own flesh and blood had almost been killed, it did indeed enrage the young queen.
