Game of Thrones: The Drogon Voice

After her ministers gathered at the wooden table, Daenerys nodded to Tyrion.

Tyrion understood, took a look at the map of Westeros, and said to Jorah and others, "We will not attack King's Landing immediately, because there are private armies of the Seven Kingdoms and other nobles around King's Landing. When we attack King's Landing, we may face an encirclement by the land army and the navy led by Euron."

"Another main reason for not attacking King's Landing is that the White Walkers are about to invade the Wall. Before we understand the situation of the White Walker army, Her Majesty the Queen does not intend to waste a large number of our and the Seven Kingdoms' troops in internal fighting."

"Now, while we are standing firm, we will focus on winning over the Seven Kingdoms and the major noble allies, and then capture the towns around King's Landing that cannot be won over one by one, so as to isolate King's Landing."

After listening to Tirion's plan, everyone nodded slightly.

After the big plan was out, Tyrion discussed the detailed strategy with everyone.

The next day, Daenerys took a small boat to Tidehead Island, not far from Dragonstone.

Tidehead is the largest island in Blackwater Bay, two or three times the size of Dragonstone.

The residents of the island had already known about Daenerys's arrival, and the dock was already filled with a large crowd of people, probably two or three hundred in number.

When he saw their appearance, Drogon realized the information that Daenerys had learned before she came.

The people at the dock have blonde hair and purple eyes, or silver hair and blue eyes, and their appearance is very similar to that of the Targaryen family.

They were House Velaryon, of Old Valyrian blood, but not of the Dragonlord, and very close to the Targaryens.

During the Conquest Period, members of the clan often served as Kingsguard and Sea Lord, and were staunch supporters of House Targaryen.

After the War of the Usurper, they submitted to Robert and became vassals of Stannis. They participated in the Battle of the Blackwater against King's Landing and suffered heavy losses. After Stannis left Dragonstone, they no longer followed him.

Standing at the front of the queue at this time was a blond boy of six or seven years old, and next to him stood a forty-year-old middle-aged man with the same blond hair.

After seeing Daenerys, their eyes quickly turned to Drogon over her shoulder.

They had already seen the two giant dragons flying over Dragonstone, but they didn't expect that Daenerys had a little dragon on her shoulder.

Although the little dragon is small, it still has the majesty of a dragon, and they dare not underestimate it at all.

The middle-aged man brought the little boy and the crowd to Daenerys. Led by the little boy, they all bowed and shouted, "Tidehead Island welcomes Her Majesty the Queen!"

Seeing the Velaryons with similar facial features to her, Daenerys felt extremely familiar and raised her hand to ask them to stand up.

The middle-aged man brought the little boy to Daenerys and introduced him, "Your Majesty, he is Monterey Velaryon, the current Earl of the Velaryon family, and I am his uncle, Bartner Velaryon."

"Your Majesty!" The little boy Monterey said respectfully to Daenerys.

Daenerys was very satisfied with the performance of the Velaryon family. She was relieved and explained her purpose to them, although she was a little worried about her visit.

The tiny Dragonstone Island could not accommodate an army of 100,000. Moreover, Tidehead Island was the outpost for Dragonstone facing King's Landing, and it was located at the exit of Blackwater Bay, controlling the throat, and its geographical location was very important.

Daenerys plans to deploy part of her forces on Tidemark, where she can house the soldiers while guarding Dragonstone to prevent a surprise attack from King's Landing warships.

After the decline of the Velaryon family, not only did the number of direct descendants decrease, but even the vassal groups on the island became increasingly scarce. There was no problem in accommodating Daenerys's army, and they readily agreed to Daenerys' request.

After visiting Tidehead Island, Daenerys came to the Crab Claw Peninsula in the northwest of Dragonstone, which will be the real landing place of the army.

According to the news sent by Varys, the people of Crab Claw Peninsula are tough and most of them are descendants of the ancestors. The surrounding Crab Island, Duskdale and Maidenpool have all sent troops to try to conquer there, but all have ended in failure.

The good news is that Aegon the Conqueror sent his sister Visenya to conquer the Crab Claw Peninsula, and they became Visenya's vassals from then on.

They also followed Daenerys' brother Prince Rhaegar to participate in the Battle of the Trident, and only returned to the Crabclaw Peninsula after Rhaegar's defeat.

The Seven Kingdoms maintained their own rule in Westeros for thousands of years, and were unified for the first time by Aegon the Conqueror more than three hundred years ago.

The usurper Robert Baratheon overthrew the Targaryen rule in the name of the tyranny of Mad King Aerys and the rape of his fiancée by Prince Rhaegon.

But there are still some nobles in the Seven Kingdoms who only recognize Targaryen and do not recognize anyone else sitting on the Iron Throne.

Robert had to reveal that his grandmother was a Targaryen princess, and that he himself also had Targaryen blood and had the right to inherit the Iron Throne.

Only then did the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, both big and small, who recognized Targaryen as their supreme ruler, reluctantly submit to Robert.

But some stubborn areas still do not accept that the Baratheon family occupies the Iron Throne from the bottom of their hearts, and Crabclaw Peninsula is one of them.

After Daenerys arrived at the Crab Claw Peninsula, it didn't take much effort to make them surrender. They were welcome to land Daenerys' army on the Crab Claw Peninsula at any time.

After the negotiation, Daenerys ordered more than 400 warships carrying the Dothraki to dock at the port of Crab Claw Peninsula, allowing them to disembark in an orderly manner.

Although Tidehead Island can also accommodate the Dothraki, having them face the sea all day long will surely make them restless over time, which is not conducive to stabilizing the morale of the army.

There is some land to the west of the Crab Claw Peninsula that can be used by the Dothraki for temporary stationing.

Even though this would pose a huge threat to the nearby Duskendale and Maidenpool, Daenerys no longer cared about that.

However, she had warned Jaco and other khals that it was strictly forbidden to plunder the surrounding lands and cities. She did not want to be called the Queen of Plunder.

The Dothraki were very upset to watch the fertile land around them being unable to plunder, but they had to endure it out of fear of Drogon's might.

Daenerys also knew that even with Drogon's suppression, the Dothraki would not be able to stay quiet for too long, so she secretly discussed with Tyrion which city to start with.

...

In King's Landing, Cersei, accompanied by Meryn the Kingsguard, came to Qyburn's workshop again.

"Mr. Koben, how long will it take to manufacture the scorpion crossbow?" As she entered the messy workshop, she anxiously asked Koben who was busy.

"Your Majesty, I promise that in three days at most you will be able to see a scorpion crossbow capable of killing a dragon." Qyburn put down a part in his hand and assured Cersei.

"Okay, I'll give you another three days, and you must create as many giant scorpions as possible." Cersei said, with a hint of viciousness in her eyes.

She didn't believe that Daenerys's black dragon could withstand the combined attack of dozens of giant crossbows, and she wanted to let Daenerys know the price of invading King's Landing.

...

In a magnificent manor in Dorne, Prince Oberyn was holding the letter in his hand, deep in thought.

The content of the letter was simple, with only one name - Daenerys Targaryen.

Oberyn knew that this was a letter sent by Varys the Octopus Spider. He also knew that Queen Daenerys led an army of 100,000 and three dragons across the Narrow Sea and landed on Dragonstone.

"Is this the advice she asked Varys to give you?" asked Ellaria, Oberyn's mistress, as she snuggled up to him, looking at the contents of the letter.

"I didn't expect it would be her. She was far away in Slaver's Bay, but she had already started to meddle in the affairs of King's Landing." Oberyn said, holding the letter and looking at the courtyard.

"What are you going to do? Help that queen seize the Iron Throne?" Ellaria asked again.

"I'm going to find Doran!" Oberyn did not answer his mistress. He put away the letter and went to the water garden where his brother Prince Doran was.

In the Water Gardens, Prince Doran, the ruler of Dorne who has been confined to a wheelchair for many years due to severe gout, met his younger brother Oberyn.

He had already heard the reason why Oberyn defeated the Mountain in Tyrion's trial by combat. Knowing that the Mountain was dead, Doran secretly shed tears of revenge for his sister Elia and her children.

When he learned that Elia was killed by the Mountain and his child was thrown to death on the wall of King's Landing, he held back his grief and stopped Oberyn who wanted to send troops to avenge Elia.

Because of this, he almost fell out with Oberyn. In order to avoid seeing him, Oberyn traveled to Slaver's Bay and joined the Second Sons, where he stayed for five years.

From then on, Doran lived in the Water Gardens, watching the children play every day and rarely appeared in front of the residents and ministers of Dorne.

Many people thought that he just didn't want to show his weak side to others, but who knew that he was too ashamed to face the residents and ministers of Dorne because he couldn't avenge his sister Elia.

After Oberyn avenged Elia, he now wants to return the favor and continue to take revenge on the Lannisters, the real enemy who killed Elia. How could Doran stop him? If he stops him again, he will no longer have a brother like Oberyn.

With the permission of his brother Prince Doran, Oberyn set out from the Sea of ​​Dorne to Dragonstone with most of the Dornish soldiers, his mistress and the little Sand Snakes.
