Game of Thrones: I became a crown prince for a day.

Chapter 455: Old Town, Here I Come
Narrow Sea, lower part.

The sea is blue and calm.

"Hiss-"

The black dragon roared, gliding close to the sea surface, with its claws dipping into the water to split the waves.

Stone Steps Archipelago, outside Grey Gallows Island.

Two small cargo ships were adrift, their decks covered with a conspicuous black sheet.

boom--

A huge black dragon soared into the sky, spewing dragon flames onto the cargo ship.

The black cloth immediately ignited, revealing two heavy scorpion crossbows.

Rhaegar, riding on the dragon's back, was not surprised at all and said coldly, "Dragon flame!"

The Glutton was very rude. He circled around the two cargo ships, and the dark green dragon flames evenly spread over the ships.

Soon, there was a commotion in the cabin. Hundreds of pirates in disheveled clothes and armor came out, wailing and cursing, and were burned to ashes along with the ship.

"Glutton, let's go!"

Looking at the scene of the floating ship's planks, Rhaegar remained calm and rode his dragon back to Yangji City.

"Hiss-"

The Glutton roared softly, and turned its huge body flexibly, soaring towards the Broken Arm Horn.

Rhaegar looked relaxed. He leaned back in the saddle, lay lazily and looked at the sky.

A month has passed since the second round of Dragon's Wrath began.

The entire Dorne was baptized by dragon flames several times, and the already scarce castles and villages were completely destroyed.

The war situation is in Dorne, and the forces outside the Narrow Sea will inevitably take the opportunity to stir up trouble.

From time to time, a group of pirates would appear, harassing the shipping routes of the Stepstone Islands and secretly entering Dorne to transport supplies.

There were countless incidents of theft and sneakiness.

Feeling the sea breeze blowing on his face, Rhaegar gently closed his eyes and thought quietly:
"The rebellion in Dorne continues. There are remnants of nobles in various places calling on the common people to organize small-scale rebellions."

They are all minor fights and are not taken seriously.

Rhaenys guards Sunspear, overseeing Quell Martell and some of the surrendered Dornish nobles.

The Sea Serpent moved Plank Town, restored the shipping line extending from the Greenblood River to the Stone Steps Islands, connected the entire disputed land, and blocked the waterway in the lower half of the Narrow Sea.

If there is a disadvantage, it is that there are not enough naval forces. It is not a problem for the patrol fleet to detect the fleet, but occasionally pirates will risk sneaking across the border.

"Prince's Pass is sealed, and the fortress is rebuilt on the Bone Road."

After the sea defenses were arranged, Rhaegar thought of garrisoning in the Red Mountains.

The blockade of Prince's Pass was completed properly.

There is Yege City inside and Wangzhong City in the middle.

All members of the Fowler family in Tianji City were captured, and after several months of imprisonment, they finally surrendered.

Lord Fowler has three sons. The eldest son is a typical radical who hates conquering the Iron Throne of Dorne.

Rhaegar didn't kill him, or even take the time to see him.

Mond Hightower was transferred to Tianji City to command the troops and used him to convey a message to the three Fowler brothers.

Whoever is loyal will inherit the title and territory.

The eldest brother had just won over a group of old ministers when he was poisoned by the second brother who coveted the family business.

As soon as the eldest brother died, the third brother led Mond into Tianji City to capture his second brother who was caught red-handed.

Put on a wonderful performance of brotherly love and respect.

There is only one brother left among the three, so naturally the third brother will inherit Tianji City.

Mond took over the military power of Tianji City and set aside an area to accept the Dornish civilians who came to seek refuge.

At the same time, the blockade of the Bone Road was very difficult.

Helena rushed to the prince's palace and was responsible for taking over the materials transported from various places. She also used the [Dragon Stone] to complete the construction of the palace ahead of schedule.

Black Harbor's military forces were severely depleted and they could only defend the Bone Road and cooperate with Damon to search for the resistance forces hiding in the mountains.

At the exit of the Bone Road, on the east side of the Dragon King Altar, a new town was built to accommodate the victims.

Donald Tully led 10,000 River Bay troops to be stationed there to supervise the construction of the town and to accommodate the victims.

Shelters were built for the victims according to their number, dry food was provided every day to keep them from starving, and young and strong people were drafted to perform corvée labor.

At this point, the blockade plan with three parallel lines, Prince's Pass, Bone Road, and Green Blood River, was successfully implemented.

The resistance forces are active in the heart of Dorne and the desert. They cannot get out of the Red Mountains and have no docks or narrow seas, which is tantamount to a disguised confinement.

Rhaegar thought relaxedly and muttered, "There are no farmlands or wells in Dorne. The remaining forces will surely become desperate and launch the third round of Dragon's Wrath."

Within half a year, the civilians will be unable to bear the hunger and will give up their rebellion.

The nobles lost the support of the general public and were no more than a grain of sand in the desert, no longer posing any threat.

"Roar……"

Suddenly, the Glutton let out a low roar, and the dragon head stared straight in one direction.

Rhaegar heard a hint of suspicion and leaned on his elbows.

The Glutton was extremely fast. It flew away from the Stone Steps Islands in a short while and could already see the coastline of Cape Broken Arm to the west.

Following its line of sight, it seems to be Iska Island.

The island is across the sea from the Stormlands and adjacent to the Mist Forest City in the south of the rainforest. It is the fief of the Eismon family of Greenstone Castle.

At this time, there were clouds floating in the blue sky and the weather was clear and sultry.

"Hiss..."

A sharp roar sounded, mixed with deep sorrow.

call--

A light silver dragon shadow rushed out of the island and dived into the clouds to hide.

Rhaegar saw it clearly and frowned, "Haiyan?"

The sea smoke flew away as if fleeing, and bursts of wailing were faintly echoing in the air.

He had heard from the sea serpent before that the fishermen in Sunspear City discovered a giant dragon wandering around the Summer Sea near Broken Arm Cape.

It seems that Haiyan still hasn't given up.

"Alas, cousin Lanino has really failed a good companion."

Rhaegar sighed and stopped paying too much attention.

Looking across the battlefield of Dorne, there were a total of eight dragons.

The six heads unleashed the wrath of the dragon and participated in the conquest of Dorne.

Wormithor returned to Dragonstone, leaving only Haiyan who had not yet gotten over the shadow of the Lord of Death.

...Sunspear City.

The man and the dragon returned and landed in the front yard of the old palace.

"Baa baa~~"

The sheep thief was crouching in the corner of the front yard, enjoying the servants feeding the goat and listening to the cries of his "prey".

The Glutton lowered his dragon head and glanced at it with his green vertical pupils.

"Hiss..."

The sheep thief screamed, swallowed the whole goat in one gulp, and moved to a further corner.

Can't be bothered, can't be bothered.

Rhaegar climbed down from the dragon's back and entered the Old Palace.

I took the time to look up and caught a glimpse of the golden Yangyan standing on the top of the Sun Tower, with a pair of dragon wings with light pink wing membranes spread out.

Rhaegar shook his head and thought to himself, "Like a master is like a dragon."

Fortunately, Yangji City is relatively safe, and the two dragons are free in the open air, so there is no need to worry about anyone having bad intentions.

Old Palace, Prince's study.

Rhaegar was alone. He took off his loose black robe, sat down at the table and took out a carving knife with an inscription on the surface.

The war is coming to an end, and all that's left is time to polish it.

Take some time out from your busy schedule to develop your skills.

shhhhhh...

As the small carving knife moved slightly, stones as big as grapefruits fell off and gradually formed the shape of a fire peak.

There are many stone carvings on the solid wood table, most of which are giant dragons and various buildings.

Rega took a few glances at the Fire Peak and continued polishing it with dissatisfaction.

[Carving Knife] requires exquisite skills to simulate engraving and carving.

He temporarily specialized in stone carving, imitating his father's plan to carve a complete empire of free fortresses.

dong dong...

There was a quick knock on the door and someone kicked it open.

Rhaegar's hand trembled, and a gap appeared at the base of the fire peak.

His face darkened and he raised his head stiffly.

At first glance, Aegon had a sour face, as if everyone owed him a bag of gold dragons.

boom!
Rhaegar slammed the table and nearly threw the carving knife as if it were a hidden weapon. He said with a fake smile: "Aegon, you'd better get hurt if you kick my door."

Otherwise, something will happen to you.

Aegon was stunned for a moment, then noticed the Fire Peak stone sculpture that was crushed by his eldest brother, and instantly restrained his arrogant expression.

Rhaegar said kindly, "Tell me now, don't force me to slap you when I'm in a good mood."

He was thinking, and it seemed like he hadn't beaten his brother for a while.

He glanced at the carving knife and shook his head secretly.

The man was killed with one knife. Not only could Allison, who was trying to protect his son, not even his father could be explained.

"Gulu~"

Aegon felt a chill down his spine and swallowed. "Well, Otto sent me a letter, urging me to go to Oldtown to guard against the Dornish attack."

Fearing that the other party would be angry, he hurriedly added: "Brother, you know me well. I hate Oldtown and Hightower the most, but my mother is also pushing me. It's really annoying."

"So what?" Rhaegar looked strange.

Is this guy showing his loyalty to him?

Aegon's eyes turned and he asked tentatively, "How about you go to Oldtown and help me sort it out?"

"Me?" Rega's eyes changed completely.

Do you want to listen to what you are saying.

Guess why Otto and others insisted that you go, repeatedly bypassing you, the person in charge of the overall situation.

Aegon pretended to be profound and raised his chin: "It's just right that you go. Aemond and I will continue to attack Dorne without hindering each other."

He had heard about the situation in Junling, and his father was bedridden.

His mother and Otto were urging him to go to Oldtown at this time and instigating Aemond to return to King's Landing. It was obvious that they were not holding back.

He is just playing badly, he is not a fool.

I put my brain, which had been dormant for many years, into action and decided to continue to mess around.

Rhaegar laughed and asked, "Do you know what's going on in Oldtown?"

"Dain and the Bremont family gathered a thousand men and went around the mountain road to approach Old Town."

Aegon spoke without hesitation, "Half of Hightower's troops have been moved to the Stepstones, and thirty percent are in the Prince's Pass, with only a few hundred left to garrison."

"The acting city lord ordered that Oldtown be sealed off and no one should be allowed to leave. The Dornishmen are now looting the crops in the fiefdom."

Understand it very clearly.

Rhaegar was implying: "Mond is making a fuss out of nothing, and Otto is meddling in this."

"That's right."

Aegon agreed very much and complained: "Mund kept urging me to go back to Oldtown. He also said that if I didn't go back to Oldtown, he would go back himself."

Rega said calmly: "He has gone back. He might be in the Tower of Heaven now."

"Ah?" Aegon was confused.

Rhaegar smiled but didn't tell the truth.

The Dornish were able to enter the Reach and accurately choose Oldtown because he opened a back door.

Hightower has done so many bad things, and as the lord, Mond will not feel at ease regardless of whether Aegon goes to support him or not.

He was even more afraid that the crown prince would use other people to destroy the old town.

The shadow in Nightsong City sent a message saying that Mond sneaked away half a month ago.

Prince's Pass is now ruled by the acting lord of Nightsong.

Yigeng was confused, his gradually plump face froze, and his eyes revealed clear stupidity.

Rhaegar put away his carving knife, left his chair and walked out.

When he reached Aegon, he patted his shoulder and said, "Call Aemond, and let's go to Oldtown tomorrow. The three of us will go together."

After saying that, they passed by each other.

"???"

Aegon almost dropped his jaw, pointed at his face, and protested: "I'm still going."
