Regarding the dispatch of troops to Nass Island, the significance of the mission is greater than war or protection, and the development of the kingdom naturally does not only develop in one direction.
For example, when launching a war, you need to take care of the economy, and when reforming the economy, you also need to consider diplomacy.
The country cannot rest on its laurels; it must also show its strength to the outside world and send out signals.
Of course, although this time sending troops is more like sending a mission to travel around the world, it does not mean that there will not be a war.
After all, the world is too big, and the roads are thousands of miles long. Everything depends on the soldiers to be self-sufficient. There will always be people who are not smart enough to try to attack the kingdom's fleet to achieve some purpose.
Moreover, as a fleet of a huge kingdom to demonstrate its strength to the outside world, the configuration must not be too bad.
Therefore, it is necessary to choose a general who is familiar with water warfare and has quick thinking to lead the army on a long voyage to explore the route.
This trip is not something you can come back to in half a year, it may take several years.
It is best to be a person who is not married, has no family fortune in Westeros, and has the courage to take risks and win a lot of merit.
With so many stringent conditions, Viserys didn't have much choice left.
"How about Asha Greyjoy, the kraken's daughter?"
"She should be fine now."
Ever since Asha led the Ironborn who were loyal to her father and surrendered to the Iron Throne, they came to King's Landing. However, during the peaceful years, there was no job suitable for someone like Asha in King's Landing.
The Iron Islands were occupied by her uncle Euron Greyjoy, who was worried that the two heirs of his brother had not been eliminated. Therefore, Asha now had a home and could not return. She could only stay idle in King's Landing and help train when she had nothing to do.
navy.
The daughter of the sea monster is proficient in naval warfare and was once the captain of the Black Wind. She has commanded large fleets in battle. She is rich in experience and astute. She has no one in the Seven Kingdoms except her brother Theon.
Therefore, when Viserys proposed the choice of Asha, the important ministers of the Royal Council who were present looked at each other, but they had no other opinions.
And in the gardens of the Red Fort.
Missandei was playing with her two brothers, and their cousin Miraz was sitting in the reception room, waiting for His Majesty the King to receive them when he was free.
A boy with blond hair, fair face, and green eyes also came to the garden. He was none other than Joffrey, who had been deprived of his surname, deprived of his prince title, and turned into an illegitimate son.
Although Joffrey has been deprived of everything, he has not yet been given the opportunity to leave the Red Keep. He is too young and is still under house arrest in the Red Keep to prevent him from being used by people with ulterior motives.
Joffrey's mother, the former Queen Cersei, now works as a laundry maid in the Red Keep.
The three of them, mother and son, still live in the Virgin House, drawing a small circle as their scope of activities.
You are not allowed to leave this garden as far as possible, so the small garden in the corner of the corridor is the place where Joffrey comes most often, and it is also his only spiritual sustenance.
Because of the special geographical location of Maiden House, no one would pass by on weekdays. Therefore, when Joffrey came here alone, he would still imagine that he was still a prince. He would give orders to the grass and trees, imagining directing them to capture the bird.
The old black cat that once scratched his face.
However, today, there were a few uninvited guests in Joffrey's secret little garden. At least in Joffrey's view, they were intruders in his territory.
Because they were still children just like him, the two boys in the lead looked to be only a few years younger than him.
But Joffrey was much taller and stronger than them. The three children on Nas Island seemed to be malnourished. Even though they couldn't be said to be skinny, they were not much different. They were black and thin, just like three little monkeys.
.
"Are they foreigners?"
Joffrey stuck out his butt and hid in the dark watching the three dark-skinned children from Nass Island playing. Because of the heavy blows he suffered one after another, Joffrey's character used to be arrogant and cruel, but now he has such low self-esteem.
His father was kicked off the throne, and he was reduced from a prince to an illegitimate son. He was a hybrid born from an affair between his mother and his uncle.
These heavy blows made Joffrey's heart distorted and he became extremely inferior, so he would often hide and play with himself in this small garden that no one passed by. If he saw someone passing by, he would quickly hide as he did now, for fear of being caught.
be seen.
Because that look of sarcasm, ridicule, and even pity pierced his soul like a knife. He was afraid of being looked at by such eyes, so he became extremely inferior.
However, now Joffrey was also hiding in the shadows, but he saw several foreigners who were younger than him, dark-skinned, thin and weak, occupying his territory and playing with the flowers and plants that belonged to him.
That’s his ‘Dagger General Ye’
stop!
asshole!
The blond boy couldn't help roaring in his heart, his handsome cheeks became a little twisted, and he clenched his fists.
"Damn barbarians!"
Although he doesn't dare to provoke other people, can he still not afford to provoke a few barbarians?
The grievance and anger that had been suppressed in Joffrey's heart for the past few years suddenly burst out at this moment for no apparent reason without any hindrance.
Maybe everyone has their own moments of anger, but Joffrey is a little different from ordinary people.
It is difficult for him to control his emotions, and he even seems to be sick. He will become emotional when he is slightly stimulated, and he tends to be violent towards the weak, and becomes even more weak towards the strong.
This is an extremely abnormal state, either crazy and cruel, or crazy and weak.
But when his anger is ignited, no one can stop him.
"Stop it! You bastard of shit!"
Joffrey roared angrily and rushed out from behind the tree, like an angry young bull, his fair cheeks flushed red, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.
The three children from Nass Island who were playing in the garden were completely frightened. They did not expect that someone would suddenly attack them in the king's palace.
Missandei's brother Missandei was punched in the cheek by Joffrey before she could react, and fell to the ground.
When her eldest brother Misanroh saw his younger brother fall, he reacted quickly. He opened his arms to protect his sister behind him, and spoke loudly in Valyrian to tell his sister to run away.
But Missandei seemed to be frightened to the spot, with tears in her eyes, and she didn't even know how to escape. In desperation, Missandei could only fight Joffrey, who was much taller than herself.
"Go to hell!"
Joffrey punched Missandro again, but the dark-skinned little man nimbly dodged it. Then Joffrey pounced on him again...
