Chapter 172 Talking with the Sea Serpent

The pirates outside the city were shocked and surprised when they received the order from the Supreme Council. Prince Krahas of Myr was even more stunned on the spot.

We were about to fight to the death, why did the Three Cities Alliance pay compensation first?

Not only that... there was another order that made them furious.

The "family members" of the pirates are actually civilians and even noble ladies who were kidnapped and coerced through the Stepstone Islands.

The pirates demanded ransom, but rarely released them, instead taking them as property.

This is actually... normal. The royal family and nobles keep mistresses, there are salt concubines in the Iron Islands, and even in some places, the "right of the first night" is also popular, such as a certain "Blooded Longsword Brandon", the vassals

I am happy for him to bloom for his daughter.

However, Rhaenyra detained all the pirates' families.

Either return to your hometown, or increase the population of the king's territory.

There are endless pirates on the Stepstone Islands. In addition to the influx of pirates from outside, there are also things like "big pirates" giving birth to "little pirates".

Some of the captured women could not return to their families or hometowns - they were not recognized and abandoned by their families or they were far away, so naturally most of them went to the royal territory with the royal fleet.

One can imagine the mood of the pirates. When they woke up, their homes were gone: their residences and military camps in the outer city were used by Rhaenyra to accommodate the former slaves who were now free people.

It is worth mentioning that the Seven Gods are now the mainstream belief in Tyrosh. Rhaenyra demolished many temples and installed seven wooden and dragon statues. The old god belief was also picked up again by the wild people.

"What to do prince, where do we go back now?" The pirates lost the Stepstones and Tyrosh and had nowhere to go.

"How about we go back to the Stepstones and confront the Targaryens? Huh, don't let us leave."

This may be what the High Council wants the pirates to do, to resist to the death and cause trouble to Rhaenyra, or to stay around Tyrosh to support the nobles in the city.

Once Rhaenyra left, the pirates returned, becoming a new version of the "Sons of the Harpy."

"It makes no sense!" Krajas shook his head, "Wherever we go to resupply, the food now is all fish brought by fishermen." The pirates almost vomited after eating pickled fish - sea fish will rot quickly due to high temperatures.

, so the fish needs to be marinated.

"Lis and Myr are too far away from the Stepstone Islands and are not as convenient as Tyrosh, and no matter where we are, we cannot pose a threat to those dragons." They have a full map view and a large-scale AoE.

"Then let's go to Myr?" Help the prince win the throne! The pirates have some ideas. Since Rhaenyra can rob in Tyrosh, why can't they go to Myr?

This idea seemed to open a door to a new world for them.

With their wealth and wife gone, they can continue to rob Myr! This is what they are best at, and the current leader is still Myr's "own man".

"No!" Krahas slammed the door. Although he also wanted to kill Myr and teach his brothers a lesson, he was not stupid either.

"Now that there is a powerful enemy ahead of us, why don't we start a civil war ourselves and make others laugh?"

The pirates looked at each other, and then looked at Kharas, hoping that he would come up with an idea.

"Let's go to the disputed place, to the Supreme Council. This war is not over yet!" Khalas said fiercely. He was taken away from his home before his abilities were shown. In the end, he was still unwilling to accept it!

The pirates left, and Kharas looked at the red and black flags of the three dragons flying at the gate of Tyrosh, and swore that he would return.

——-

Rhaenyra received a letter from King's Landing, and her father Viserys was very happy, because her achievements made all the great nobles unable to say anything bad about her.

Also, he mentioned his dragon dream and saw Rhaenyra become a true saint!

Viserys's excitement was palpable, but Rhaenyra's reaction was flat as she held the letter.

What a saint, she is just a tool of the gods who want to use me!

The Valyrian gods want to get out of trouble, the instinctive consciousness of the Seven Gods wants to give birth, and the Old Gods just want to set up the chessboard and let people save the world...

Could the long night happen? Rhaenyra looked up at the sun in the sky, which was still shining brightly and hot on the earth.

She knew that the White Walkers and the Long Night would come, but how far in the future would it be? There was a sense of urgency and pressure in her heart.

The sea serpent and the Uncrowned Queen came to her side with her son Laninor, which made Rhaenyra frown slightly.

Alas, this princess is very busy and has to save the world! Don't cause trouble!

"Count Corless, we were able to capture Tyrosh this time thanks to the support of the Velaryon fleet." Rhaenyra complimented, "The Stepstone Islands were also captured. Here..."

To divide the interests, Velaryon, Daemon, and even the Western Fleet... all had their dinner plates ready to be fed.

"There's no rush." ​​A smile spread across Cores's face, "Thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess's heroic battle, we can win."

"The victory is the credit of everyone, and Targaryen will not forget it. Velaryon dispatched all fleets and dragon knights..."

"Yes, Lanino is very brave and takes the lead in the battle!" Cores patted his son encouragingly, "He is my pride and the pride of Chaotou Island."

"Without sea smoke, our war would be even more difficult."

"Yes, Lanino is a reliable warrior, and the Seven Gods will bless him."

Seeing that Rhaenyra did not accept the move, Corless could only say tentatively, "I hope Lanino can take care of the royal family's worries."

"Father..." Rhaenyra's head suddenly hurt.

"His Majesty Viserys also supports it!"

"No, it's just that there is no blocking." "No blocking is the greatest support."

Alas, Corleth and Rhaenys put their thoughts on their faces, and she could only tell the truth.

"Lanino is excellent and kind, and he is an outstanding dragon species. He is a good person.

As a member of the royal family, I will be happy to meet and fall in love with such a boy, so that Targaryen and Velaryon can unite."

If it were the original "I".

"Velaryon has been intermarried with Targaryen since ancient times, and their relationship is extraordinary!

The dragon blood of both parties is difficult to escape, making them the best candidates for choosing a spouse.

Not even the extinct Kohoris and Celtigar on Crab Island can compare. Although they are also old vassals who have followed since the Valyrian period, they do not have dragon blood.

(ps: The Koholis family is an extinct riverland noble with Valyrian blood. The family coat of arms is on a black background, with a burning red and yellow X-shaped cross between four white skulls.

Quentin Koholis was once the captain of the Dragonstone Guard. After Aegon the Conqueror destroyed House Hall, Quentin Koholis was named Earl of Harrenhal. After Quentin's death, Harrenhal was hosted by his grandson at his wedding banquet.

Gogan succeeded, and was killed by Heron the Heart for abusing the "right of first night".)

Hearing this, Corleth and Rhaenys both had smiles on their faces, because what Rhaenyra said was true.

Although Viserys was afraid of Velaryon, he also knew that the blood of the two families was very close. They were like twins and had a close relationship.

When the Uncrowned Queen married Koreth, Jaehaerys and Alysanne were actually quite satisfied inside.

"But..." As soon as Rhaenyra opened her mouth, the two of them felt bad. Even Lanino, who was listening to the "sir"'s conversation, was a little cautious.
