Game of Thrones: The Strongest Guoguang

Chapter 148
"The idea that we have complete control over dragons is an illusion"

You must know that Viserys is the last rider of Balerion, the "Black Death".

In fact, Rhaenyra should also be aware of the uncontrollable and dangerous nature of magic and dragons in her world (the destruction of Valyria).

Rhaenyla and her dragons have a deep bond of feeling and emotion, but this does not mean that the dragon has the rational consciousness that the rider has.

Viserys once hinted to his brother that the dream of Denise the Dreamwalker saved House Targaryen,

Daemon said it was just luck, they said Valyrians created dragons, if dragons are gods, then what are we?
This paragraph of Viserys is alluding to the prophecy of Aegon the Conqueror, and the purpose is to examine whether Daemon can take on the important task.

But Damon's answer disappointed him, so he realized later that "Damon is not king material."

Aria once lost control of Balerion and was carried to the ruins of Valyria.

It is an illusion that can control everything.

When Viserys had placed the responsibility on Rhaenyla, she had never expected her to be so good.

Power and dragons are a double-edged steel sword. Damon can now walk side by side with the royal family, but inside he is still the one who wants to kill his wife, plunder other people's fiefdoms, and easily start a war.

Although Velaryon is also an ally, the power demands in his bones will never disappear, which is determined by their strength.

Lannister seems to be obedient and has contributed a large number of golden dragons, but the arrogance and high-profile they showed at the Kingswood Conference is not a disguise.

Baratheon of the Stormlands, driven by the council, has no objections, but...

Viserys saw that Rhaenyla's pressure was to take advantage of the War of the Archipelago to tear a rift in the alliance between Storm and Sea Serpent.

"Lunetel, you have been sick in bed during this time, and you haven't seen those movements." Viserys sighed
Daemon frequently approached Lannar and the Velaryan family behind him, but Velaryan forced Lannar into the Red Keep. Hightower was quiet for a while, but no one knew when Otto Give him a problem.

The Targaryens are not a race of gods, and will bleed, and even perish.

"Fortunately, there is Rhaenyla to share the pressure." Viserys turned and returned to the Red Keep.

"Thirty to thirty-two main ships, a total of 32 soldiers, including more than 300 formally trained and inspected knights.

Our food consumption is very fast, excluding the food reserves obtained from the sea, we need to implement food preparation orders for war needs. "

Valmond Velaryon's silver-white hair fluttered in the sea breeze. The corners of Sir Corles' younger brother pursed his mouth slightly, as if he was dissatisfied: when he wanted to conceal his strength, family members raised different opinions.

"When all the ships are in battle, you can see them all from the back of the dragon. Are you blind for being a princess?" said Lannino, the son and heir of Corles.

"If you don't want to anger the royal family, it's best not to hide your strength. This time the sea snake is fully invested in the war, and even Chaotou Island has no defenses. It is equivalent to giving all the trust to the Iron Throne."

Either the royal family saw through the background, or they plotted against each other before the battle even started, Lannino sighed helplessly.

It is also a fact that Chaotou Island is unprepared. Renis and Melias usually serve as the last line of defense, guarding the throat, and letting Koles look after the rear.

"The main ship and the knights..." Rhaenyla nodded, knowing what to expect.

Her dragoons and the regular knights in the Royal Forest Army are also about the same ratio, and most of them are commanded by officers and leaders.

Westeros is the country of knights, and they practice chivalry. It is very difficult for servants, guards, and soldiers to become real and recognized knights.

Nobles have a tradition of sending their sons to other nobles' homes as attendants. These noble heirs will follow some knights to fight and hone, and then become regular knights - both Tywin and James have served as attendants.

As for the number of main ships, it is not too small.

You know, a fleet includes: small fishing boats, marauding boats, warships and merchant ships of various sizes, as well as those giant-class frigates that sail on the summer seas and huge swan ships that sail across the ocean.

There is no doubt that the main ship is the latter kind of super-standard luxury ship. It can not only fight, carry goods, but also sail quickly. It is expensive and valuable.

Let's just talk about the golden fleet dispatched by Lannister. Its main ship only looks like 20 to 22 ships, and the rest are mainly frigates and destroyers.

The privateers who pioneered their piracy along the coast were called "frigates."

It is a small fast boat without a forecastle and poop. Although it has good sailing performance, it is too low to be suitable for boarding battles. It is sometimes called a "sail clipper".

But sometimes using sail frigates for flexible close combat can defeat large warships with several decks.

Velaryon, who monopolized maritime trade, set up an escort fleet composed of sail frigates to accompany the merchant fleet for escort.

But in fact, it is the tradition of Qarth and other trading city-states to refer to ships responsible for escorting merchant fleets as frigates.

In addition to escorting merchant fleets, frigates also perform tasks such as patrolling colonies, escorting merchant ships, attacking enemy merchant ships, monitoring and blocking enemy ports, reconnaissance, and troop transport.

In addition to these, there are some common types in the fleet: flat-bottomed ships, galleons, galleys, and large three-masted sailing ships equipped with scorpion tails and catapults on the deck.

A port city like White Harbor, which relies on the mouth of the Baicha River, has no more than ten main ships, and two or three ships are in disrepair and can only be used as decorations. And this, placed in the northern border or some forces in the Seven Kingdoms The weakest fief has the strongest navy.

That's right, Earl Mandalay told Rhaenyla all this knowledge.

"Lord Rickon Stark has completely abandoned the naval power of the North.

Many Mandalays in history have persuaded the Lord of the North to set up a Northern Fleet, but none of them came true. "

Lord Baigang's face seemed to be blocked by something, and he held back for a long time before he said, "The reason, Your Highness, don't ask."

What else could be the reason, the northern border is poor!

If Westeros is all barbarians in the eyes of the trading city-states, the barbarians in the northern border are the bottom of the Seven Kingdoms discrimination chain.

In the rest of the Seven Kingdoms, many coastal lords will support two or three oar warships to strengthen coastal defenses to resist pirate attacks.

But only some big families, such as the Lannister family, may have warships with larger tonnage and more numbers, up to 20 or even 30 ships. This is the background of the Golden Fleet.

But in other places in the world, in Qarth alone, the Thirteen Giants control a total of about 1200 ships, while the Ancient Spice Guild has 1300 to [-] ships.The Tourmaline Brotherhood has [-] ships.

On Braavos, the Aquaman presides over a fleet of warships unparalleled in all other worlds, and his fleet of merchant ships has purple hulls and sails seen throughout the known world.

It is said that the arsenal of Braavos can build a warship in a day.

That's why at the auction, the distinguished guests of the trading city-state will be so arrogant and spend money like water: a cabin of gold coins and a cabin of fur at every turn.

Compared with them, the people of Westeros are indeed barbarians!
The time has come, and the Velaryon family put out a map on the largest main ship for Rhaenyla's reference.

She is the commander and liaison for this coalition operation, and all information must be read by her.

She raised her eyes from the map, "We will send dragons to attack and burn the crabs and pirates!"
