Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

The empire's territory is vast, and apart from the people of the imperial capital, King's Landing, most people in other places have never actually seen one, let alone distinguish which dragon belongs to whom under such conditions.

All they knew was that all the dragons belonged to the Targaryen royal family of the Empire.

"This is the dragon 'Tyrant' Terex—"

"His Highness Herlos Targaryen's dragon."

The expression on Dawn Sword's face was slightly solemn.

He watched as Terex descended from the sky onto the Great Wall. The Red Queen Vaghar issued a warning, and Terex roared back in response.

The two dragons then flew north of the Great Wall and quickly disappeared into the clouds.

"It must be His Highness the First Prince who has come to visit."

The two giant dragons disappeared into the horizon, and everyone who had been startled by their roars finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Not many dragons would suddenly visit on ordinary days, after all, each dragon represents a member of the Targaryen royal family.

These high-ranking dragon knights are now scattered all over the world, across the empire's eighteen provinces, from the western border to Slave Bay, and from the northern border to the Duchy of Summer Islands.

"They're all big shots!"

Not far away, soldiers of the Night's Watch stood watching the spot where the dragon had vanished, sighing in dismay.

Then he turned around and looked at Edric Dane and his group with schadenfreude.

They knew this was an envoy from the second prince, Imon, while the delegation from the first prince, Heros, had arrived a month earlier.

But now that His Highness Heros has arrived in person, how are they supposed to conduct themselves?

Such a question didn't need to be raised by them; the members of the delegation had naturally thought of it long ago when they saw the golden dragon Terex descend.

...

The fire in the fireplace inside the house was crackling and burning, and the door to the room had been boarded up.

The firelight illuminated everyone's faces, making the atmosphere somewhat somber.

What should I do?

Tyrion sat on the edge of the bed, his short fingers stroking his gray beard.

The wrinkles on her forehead were piled up, and she also seemed a little helpless.

The sudden arrival of the eldest prince, Heros, was indeed unexpected, disrupting everyone's plans, and panic was evident in everyone's eyes.

How dare Heros leave the battlefield? Has Prince Aemon already been defeated on the main battlefield?

If Prince Aemon has already been defeated, then what is the point of their mission to the North?

Like a clown, it's better to surrender early and get a lighter sentence.

The morale of the group was somewhat low, except for Edric Dane and Tyrion, who were relatively calm, but even they were not without some worries.

Tyrion did not actually die on the ship; it was just a ruse. Although he was subjected to severe torture, Tyrion was still tough enough to survive.

He survived being tied up in a basement by his father, with countless wildfires and an army of dead overhead.

Later, Tyrion wandered for several months in the North, which was now deserted and completely occupied by the White Walkers, before fleeing to Dragonstone with other surviving Night's Watch soldiers.

Tyrion has weathered all sorts of storms; how could he possibly die at the hands of a petty villain?

Therefore, they were actually faking their deaths, which allowed them to be captured by the men under the First Prince Heros. Then, taking advantage of the situation, the blame was directly placed on their heads.

He had actually been with the delegation the whole time, and because of his unusual physique, he could be hidden in a box.

No one expected Tyrion, who had faked his death, to be so bold as to hide right under their noses.

Because Tyrion, as Aemon's foremost strategist, still needs to be relied upon to continue devising plans behind the scenes.

Tyrion's plan to fake his death was quite successful.

He ignited the anger of many and almost persuaded Diana to send troops.

Unfortunately, Diana managed to calm down at the last moment.

Chapter 1054 Face-to-Face Confrontation

"Let's play along."

"Let's see what Prince Heros can do first."

Tyrion, with a bitter and resentful expression, pondered for a long time before choosing to give up.

He felt that a few more strands of his already sparse black hair had turned white from worry.

He decided to react to each move as it came, since sitting here and guessing wouldn't reveal what Heros's methods were.

The other party's purpose is already clear. If Prince Imon wants to turn the tide, his only chance is to seek help from his sister.

Tyrion was briefly captured by Commander May in Lannister, but was eventually rescued by Edric Dayne, the Sword of the Morning, who secretly followed and protected him.

However, Aemont's strategy of secretly sending envoys north to persuade Diana to send troops to help was confirmed.

Although the resourceful Herosti had already anticipated this, he had sent an envoy to the Wall more than a month before Aemon was ahead of him, hoping to persuade the princess to stay out of it.

But Horos, who grew up in the Red Keep, was familiar with Tyrion Lannister's abilities.

The other party is not only very intelligent, witty and cunning, and good at adapting to change, but also eloquent and has first-class speaking skills.

While the messenger sent by Herlos, Petyr Baelish, the governor of the Vale known as "Littlefinger," was also a master of sophistry.

But given Tyrion's example, Heros was still somewhat uneasy.

He wasn't worried that Petyr Baelish would relapse.

Rather, like a mistake that every intelligent person makes, he was extremely arrogant, and therefore he would spend his energy doing many things himself and was unwilling to trust his subordinates.

However, it's not that Heros doesn't trust his subordinates; rather, many of them are indeed incompetent and have messed up a lot of things.

It even caused this high-ranking prince to exhaust himself, running around cleaning up the messes of his subordinates.

These things have left Heros feeling quite exhausted lately, and his dark circles have gotten much deeper.

Who can he complain to?

In fact, if it weren't for the mistakes made by his subordinates, according to the original plan that Heros had laid out, he should have already crushed the resistance of his second brother, Imon.

Then he brought his younger brother and sister to King's Landing, and frankly persuaded them to help him pull out the dragon spear.

However, Heros's plan was good, but it was ruined by the execution by his subordinates.

For example, Aemon's greatest asset right now is the Empire's iron-faced war god, Bessie Joyce.

Heros had long ago thought of his father's Kingsguard captain, a renowned general in the Empire who had led the human alliance to victory against the White Walkers.

Heros had anticipated this step and was worried that Bessie would intervene in the war, thus preventing its expansion.

It would be best to limit this to Westeros, rather than dragging the entire Empire into the quagmire of civil war.

The eldest prince himself was worried about the escalation of the civil war, which is why he devised the plan to seize the throne, hoping to achieve his goal at the lowest possible cost.

But Herlos had anticipated Bessie's involvement and sent the eloquent Tyrion Lannister as an envoy to Pentos.

He also anticipated that Tyrion might harbor resentment towards him.

After all, ever since he seized King's Landing and imprisoned Queen Arianne, the Imperial Council of the Empire has fallen into the control of the First Prince and has become a puppet.

Most of the senior members of the Council of Kings were dissatisfied with Herlos, including the King's Hand, Velas Tyrell, and Tyrion.

Of course, some people with weak minds have already sided with Heros, but Tyrion and the others are clearly not among them.

Therefore, Herod sent Tyrion, the emperor's advisor, as an envoy, but instead detained his wife and son.

This was to prevent Tyrion from rebelling after being released and instead joining his brother Aemon's side.

However, Heros never expected that the guards holding Tyrion's family members as hostages would ruin everything.

Having served in the upper echelons of the empire for many years during the reigns of the three queens, the Council of Kingsland possesses a profound foundation.

Taking advantage of the moment when Herlos's soldiers were off guard, they rescued Tyrion's family.

Now that the mother and son have vanished without a trace, Tyrion has become unscrupulous and has directly joined Aemon's camp to take revenge on Herlos.

But these weren't the only things Heros's men messed up.

For example, Harry Strickland, commander of the Third Reich Army.

His plan was to help Heros seize the western border and cut off Imon's reinforcements.

But even after leading tens of thousands of soldiers in a fierce attack on the western border for so long, he still hadn't managed to open the gateway to the west, Golden Tooth City.

This infuriated Heros, who smashed countless things and even considered killing the old man and replacing him with a different commander.

Besides these, there are many other things.

The Ministry of the Interior had captured Tyrion in Lannister, but he managed to get away with what he thought was his.

Instead, rumors later circulated that Tyrion had been tortured to death, further damaging Horos's already tarnished reputation since taking King's Landing.

Therefore, after all these blood pressure-raising events, it's perfectly normal for Heros to worry that Petyr would mess things up.

So, unable to rest easy, he personally rode a dragon to the Wall to meet his sister Diana.

After the First Prince Heros's dragon king Tyrex parachuted into the Wall, some time had passed.

Just as everyone in the delegation was feeling uneasy, news finally arrived.

"Gentlemen, Her Highness the Eldest Princess invites you in."

Her Highness the Eldest Princess invited them to Longxiao Palace for another meeting.

...

Tyrion, in a state of suspended animation, hid in the box as usual, since no one expected a dead man to still be alive.

Moreover, unless ordered by the eldest princess, no one dared to search the rooms of Prince Imon's delegation.

Therefore, this place is both the most dangerous and the safest place.

Edric Dane and his group once again ascended to the top of the Great Wall aboard a crane consisting of chained carriages and pulleys.

Here stands a palace that, while not very large, is built to be extremely majestic and imposing, the Dragon Palace that pierces the clouds.

They had just been here, but unexpectedly they came back again, and then Edric and his group walked in.
