Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Diana is in the North, which is her sphere of influence. She has won the support of House Stark and is now riding a dragon south.

When Viserys saw Heros in the Riverlands, he was burning some corpses with a wildfire.

The blazing green flames illuminated the sky, and he was surrounded by many people, some silently wiping away tears, while others cast complicated glances at him, but quickly lowered their heads for fear of being discovered.

After all, not everyone is willing to sacrifice their relatives and friends for the greater good in the face of this natural disaster.

But for this era, there was no more direct and effective method than to gather all the patients infected with the plague together and treat them, otherwise the consequences of allowing the plague to spread would be devastating.

The eldest prince, Herod the Targaryen, was already very merciful; he merely confined the sick together to prevent the plague from spreading, and then all the dead bodies were burned.

However, Heros's actions were seen by many, especially the patients infected with the plague and their relatives and friends, as abandoning their lives. Therefore, they cried out that they did not want to be arrested and imprisoned.

But the brown-haired young man had a cold expression, and the green flames reflected in his dark eyes kept flickering. He remained unmoved by the people's cries and pleas for mercy, and continued to strictly enforce his orders.

"Hurry up!"

"There's one more!"

"Drag him out!"

A commander wearing a Valyrian Empire red and black cloak shouted sternly.

His soldiers were like wolves and tigers. They were fully armed, covered their mouths and noses, and then used locks to drag out all the infected and suspected infected people, dragging them by the neck to the place where patients were concentrated.

“Lord Hendry, you know very well what you have done.”

"Don't put me in a difficult position."

"take away!"

Meanwhile, Hendry Brecken, the governor of the Riverlands, was already in shackles and, without any resistance, was imprisoned.

He now sits in a cage, looking haggard, spending his days with his own excrement and urine, his heart filled with regret or something else, no one knows.

It turns out that the Crown Prince of the Valyrian Empire had also cracked a major case during this period.

In fact, the Earl of Brecken Jr.'s wife and children, Lady Catherine and Rosso Brecken, were among the first to be infected with the plague.

But Hendry Brecken feared that if news of his wife and son's illness got out, he would be arrested and burned alive.

Therefore, even though he knew about it long beforehand, he still chose to hide it from Heros and pretended to know nothing, which directly led to the delay in the best opportunity to stop the spread of the epidemic.

Furthermore, Hendry instructed his men to set fire to the military camp, burning the accompanying medic and the first few patients to be discovered, in order to continue to conceal the spread of the plague.

However, Hendry Brecken's actions to conceal his illness tragically did not save the lives of his wife, Lady Kerrilin, and his eldest son, Rosso Brecken; instead, they led to the rapid spread of the epidemic in the Twins.

Two-thirds of the people in the castle are now sick and dying.

The Earl of Brecken Jr.'s wife and eldest son also succumbed to the ravages of the disease, while his youngest son, Alan, was fortunate enough to escape the plague.

However, once the matter was investigated and everything came to light, although Earl Bleken Jr. suffered a terrible fate, with his wife and son dying of the plague, he still could not escape punishment.

After all, he had committed multiple crimes, including concealing the plague, arson, and murder, and was imprisoned. Once the plague was over, he would be sent to King's Landing to await the final, just punishment of the law.

His Highness the Crown Prince's impartiality has been praised by many, but it has also caused considerable concern among the nobles of the Riverlands.

"Didn't Your Highness go too far?"

After all, as feudal nobles of their own territories, no one can claim to be completely innocent and without any blemishes.

With the governor of the Riverlands imprisoned due to the plague, power in the Riverlands temporarily fell into the hands of the eldest prince, Herod Targaryen.

Meanwhile, supplies of food and other provisions from the valley were being loaded onto trucks and headed towards the river region.

"A brilliant tactic, an impeccable reason."

The fact that the Riverlands fell so easily into the hands of his eldest son was not unexpected for Viserys.

Heros was exceptionally intelligent and showed extraordinary learning ability and talent from a young age.

What most people need to read three or four times to understand and memorize, Heros can usually understand after reading only once, and can even apply what he has learned to other situations. In this respect, even his sister Diana is not as good as him.

It's understandable that Petyr Baelish, the governor of the Vale, sided with Heros. Littlefinger, like Tywin Lannister, never sided with the losers, and he was even more daring than Tywin.

The current situation is that his eldest son, Heros Targaryen, has direct or indirect control and has the support of the Riverlands, the Vale, and Dorne.

Although these regions are insignificant in the grand scheme of the empire, for Westeros they represent half of the Seven Kingdoms.

Robb Stark of the North, whose former squire was also ambitious, believed that the North, due to its geographical location, could naturally defend itself and wait for chaos in the world before seizing the opportunity to move south.

However, it's just that none of the Stark Kings in the North who went south had a good ending, and now the Stark family is firmly on the side of their eldest daughter, Diana.

Apart from the North, the Vale, the Riverlands, and Dorne, the Reach, the Stormlands, and the Iron Islands are currently observing from the sidelines, not participating in the Targaryen succession struggle. Furthermore, the young Prince Immon Targaryen is currently in Summerhall, not yet of age, and does not yet have his own fiefdom.

"It now seems that Heros has already won more than half the battle."

Seeing the current situation of his three children, Viserys seemed somewhat thoughtful.

"Will he eventually be able to pull out the dragon spear?"

Chapter 986 Different Paths

Heros has already won more than half the battle, and even Viserys believes that his eldest son has already secured victory in the succession struggle.

Now he was somewhat concerned about whether Heros could complete the test he had set; otherwise, no matter how much of an advantage Heros gained, he could easily take it away.

Arianne was right. The power struggles among mortals might catch Viserys' eye for a moment, like Heros's brilliant maneuvers, but ultimately, it was other things that determined who Viserys chose.

What they are doing now is like a child's game.

When the level rises to that of the gods, sitting in their divine realm overlooking the human world, they are no longer confined to the struggles of a single place or city, but rather look out over the entire world, as well as past and future time and space.

Besides Heros, who had already gained a significant advantage, Viserys also paid close attention to his second son, Immon.

"Yin Meng".

Yin Meng possessed a portion of Viserys' divine power, which helped the boy grow up smoothly, cured his congenital deficiency, and gave him a healthy body.

Yin Meng is much stronger than the average person; he can at least beat a hunting dog in an arm wrestling match. However, his swordsmanship is not particularly outstanding.

However, apart from this, Yin Meng did not exhibit any other extraordinary abilities, and the divine power of Viserys remained dormant within him.

He had almost forgotten what happened when he met his father when he was four years old, but he remembered his father's face and the warm and friendly smile on his face, which were deeply imprinted in his mind.

For some reason, Yin Meng had a very deep impression of his father's smile. Perhaps it was because he had only seen his father once in his fifteen years of life, but he grew up listening to his stories, so the memory was vivid and unforgettable.

Yin Meng once tried to learn her father's smile, but she didn't quite get it right. Sometimes, when she tried to pose, her smile looked worse than a cry, making people feel awkward.

Although Yin Meng failed to imitate his father's smile, he successfully learned the sincerity and warmth in it.

Yin Meng learned to treat each of his friends with sincerity and warmth, just as... his father treated him.

For example, Yin Meng secretly regarded his "friends" as his sons.

And he was their father, seeing his son whom he hadn't seen for many years, and then he showed the most infectious smile.

Therefore, Yin Meng did not learn Viserys' smile, but he unexpectedly learned to treat others with sincerity, exchanging sincerity for sincerity, and winning many friendships.

Even though many of Immon Targaryen's friends were seen by his three mothers, sisters, and brothers, as well as by the high-ranking officials of the Imperial Council, as idle, dissolute noble scions who rode hawks and dogs, many of whom had no right to inheritance, and some were illegitimate children or commoners.

But Immon didn't think so. He seemed to possess a magical power that united them together, helping each other out. If one of them was in trouble, the others would use their connections to help, making them comparable to the Westeros version of the 'Second Sons'.

Moreover, due to Prince Immon Targaryen's status, this knightly order is one of the few legal and compliant knightly orders within the Empire, and even the capital's garrison has to give it some respect.

Unity is their greatest weapon, including Yin Meng himself, who is the second son.

According to the doctrines of the Seven and the common practice on the continent of Westeros, primogeniture should be the system of succession, and the crown prince should be Horos Targaryen.

Any second son, illegitimate child, or commoner would be looked down upon on their own.

But when these neglected second sons banded together and formed a united force, coupled with the personal connections each of them could leverage within their respective families, they became a formidable force that could not be ignored.

But their rise is fueled by loyalty and unity, which is also their greatest weakness.

A group formed on the basis of unity also has the greatest weakness in unity itself. If one day unity, affection, and trust are no longer present, then this group will collapse directly.

"The path Yin Meng chose..."

"interesting."

Viserys looked at the boy in the Summer Hall, whose broken wrist had fully healed and who was now enjoying himself with his friends, and suddenly felt a surge of anticipation.

Compared to the brilliant maneuvers and political skills displayed by his eldest son, Herlos, Viserys was more eager to see how Immon would perform next.

Because the path Yin Meng chose was one that Viserys had never even considered.

Make friends from all over the world, gain more support, and eventually climb higher step by step.

In fact, Heros is very similar to his father Viserys, not only in appearance but also in personality.

Although Heros did not inherit his father's bloodline and had a very Valyrian appearance with silver hair and purple eyes, Heros was the person who most resembled Viserys in terms of facial features.

The same is true of the paths they choose; their decisions at crucial moments are remarkably similar. They truly are father and son, practically cut from the same mold.

Because Heros had been learning from his father since childhood, he regarded his father as his goal and idol, but unlike Immon, he learned Viserys's methods.

Yin Meng chose to unite more people, while Heros was naturally solitary. He had few friends, but he did his best to strike his enemies, leaving them no chance to recover once he made a move.

Heros is very much like his father, while Immon has taken a different path. Therefore, it is only natural that he is more looking forward to Immon's future than to the path that Viserys has already taken, which Heros is following.

Many people worry that their offspring are not good enough, but Viserys is worried that his children are all more outstanding than the last.

However, this is just a happy problem. Even if only one person can inherit the throne of the Valyrian Empire in the end, Viserys has already made proper arrangements for the other two children.

"It's time."

After Viserys emerged from the pass and finished all his tasks, he looked up at the sky.

Next, he must return to Asgard to save the fate of the Seven, the Drowned, the Old Gods, and the Westeros and Valyrian gods, including Balerion, and confront the ambitious Red God R'hllor, who seeks to unify Asgard.

"set off!"

Then Viserys spread his wings, the silver light gradually faded and turned into gold, and then he soared into the sky.

Chapter 987 Return to the Divine Realm

next second.

"Whoo~"

Viserys spread his enormous golden wings and flew straight towards the realm of the gods.

"Viserys".
