After defeating the Dothraki, Targaryen had clearly proven that he was the second most powerful among the trading city-states.
Surpassing the distant Volantis, and possessing the strength to challenge Big Brother.
Dragons are the source of the Targaryen power. Dragons can create many miracles that other forces cannot possess.
However, it is satisfying to take revenge overnight, but Viserys also needs to consider the cost of falling out with Braavos now.
His dragon may be difficult for Braavos to exert its full effect, and Braavos has strong military manufacturing capabilities, not a traditional nomadic tribe like the Dothraki.
They really have a lot of giant crossbows that can threaten the dragon. If Baleraine faces hundreds of giant crossbows pointing straight into the sky, even if the crossbows of this kind of thing are not good and the aim is very crooked, they will not be able to withstand the blindness.
A cat meets a dead mouse.
If fighting the Dothraki is a human-machine difficulty where there is no threat to the dragon, facing the terrifying giant crossbow array in Braavos is probably a hell difficulty that requires top-notch operation.
And Braavos didn't just make these preparations to fight the dragon.
Because the founders of Braavos were a group of slaves who escaped from Valyria, they had actually been prepared to fight against the dragons when they were founded.
The entire Braavos is a stone city with hundreds of islands connected together.
But there isn't a single tree in the whole city, it's all bare stone houses.
They are connected to each other by stone bridges, and perhaps only in the port are there densely packed wooden ships.
Therefore, Braavos can straighten its back and maintain its composure when facing the threat of the dragon, because the dragon's dragon flames will hardly ignite the city, and the threat will naturally be greatly reduced.
And now it's not just the continent of Essos that's in turmoil because of the rise of Targaryen.
Westeros is also facing a severe winter. Hundreds of thousands of wildling troops are approaching the city. The coalition of nobles from the seven countries refuses to give in and prevents the wildlings from escaping to the south across the Great Wall.
Several negotiations have been held between the two sides, but to no avail. It seems that the issue will ultimately be resolved through war.
Now that we are accumulating strength and waiting for the Baratheon dynasty to fight with the wildlings and the White Walkers, it is the best time for Viserys to send troops to regain Westeros.
If you fall out with Braavos now, you may miss this opportunity and give the Iron Throne a chance to breathe.
The night outside the window was thick, and crows were making unpleasant cries at the top of the city.
Viserys sat quietly in the castle room alone, with his fingers crossed, looking out the window at the night without saying a word for a long time, thinking about the general direction of the future.
Regarding the upcoming war, there is actually nothing to think about.
Although the Dothraki coalition's 80,000-strong army only lost 30,000, this was not the main battlefield. However, these 30,000 people lost 20,000 Targaryen soldiers at the same time.
One goes down and the other goes up.
The balance of strength between the two sides is no longer the imbalance it was before. Instead, it has taken a U-turn and reached a point where the Targaryen army has the dominant advantage.
The two armies of Pentos and Heroic Soul Castle showed a divisive momentum, which could just enough to sandwich the remaining 50,000 Dothraki in the middle, like a big net slowly opening.
After a night's rest tonight, we can lead the army to set off tomorrow. If the Dothraki are not well-informed enough, they may be able to seize the opportunity to complete the finishing touches.
Not a single one of these 50,000 Dothraki can escape.
Then, I don’t know how long passed.
The thick fog slowly arrived the next morning
at the same time.
Not too far away in Pentos.
Jon Connington got up very early and was busy in his room, dealing with Pentos' military and government affairs.
Although he has commanded a great war and has ample experience in command and dispatch as the Kingdom's Prime Minister, Jon Clinton still feels that he has been a little too busy recently.
He is now equivalent to taking over the responsibilities of the Prime Minister of the new dynasty. Pantos has been dealing with many affairs, big and small, all of which are on his shoulders.
He needs to consider both defending the city and internal affairs, and even more needs to be concerned about the situation of material reserves.
Because their King is not in the city now, but has gone out on a dragon ride.
The Dothraki army outside surrounded Pentos so tightly that it was almost impossible to say even a fly could get in.
However, Viserys seemed to be fine and just wanted to ride on the dragon and fly around in circles.
He could even hover over the heads of the Dothraki as if patrolling their territory, scaring the three khaos into hiding in the tents of ordinary tribesmen.
They did not dare to sleep in their big tents, for fear that as soon as they fell asleep, a pillar of fire would fall from the sky and burn them to death.
Even the three khals in Pentos have already given up, but they are too embarrassed to be the first to bring it up.
After such an aggressive Western expedition, he gained nothing, so he fled back in despair with his tail between his legs.
I'm afraid this will become the 'shame of Kaa' in the future, and he will be looked down upon by other colleagues, and even his own people will gradually become alienated.
The Dothraki admire warriors and look down on cowards. A timid Kaa is not qualified to ride the strongest war horse.
However, what the three Khals have been overthinking is that Viserys has not been paying attention to them recently, but has been looking for trouble elsewhere.
Some time ago at night.
The 'pirates' blocking the Gulf of Pentos suddenly suffered a heavy blow.
It took two days for this news to reach Pentos, and it was heard that a dozen ships had been burned and destroyed by the dragon.
These 'pirates' suffered extremely heavy losses and were forced to give up blocking the bay of Pentos.
And everyone knows who these 'pirates' are.
There is nothing wrong with Viserys going out to sneak attack these naval forces who had taken down their flags. The opponent suffered a big loss but could only endure it.
What else to do?
Admit to being a pirate?
But Viserys went out two nights ago and never came back.
However, Jon Connington knew the truth and knew that Viserys flew to the Castle of Heroes.
Since the garrison of Pentos could not go out of the city to fight and defeat the Dothraki, delaying was not an option. He would first resolve the war on the other side, and then rush over with the people there to cooperate inside and outside to break the siege of Pantos.
.
And at this time.
A man knocked on the door, then opened the door and walked in.
"grown ups."
"I pried open the mouths of those prisoners caught two days ago."
Ramsay, who had black hair and a gloomy face, sat on the chair opposite Jon Connington and spoke.
