Of course, Viserys had no intention of protecting the Fowlers.
He was not related to the 'Old Falcon', so why should he protect him? However, in the face of the troubles in Tianji City, Viserys was not very angry either.
He had known for a long time that this war would happen, it was just a matter of time. Dorne, the landmine he had planted a year or two in advance, would eventually explode one day.
It's just that Viserys didn't expect that the mine would explode so quickly, and Count Franklin Fowler bumped into the muzzle of his gun, and Viserys just used his head to scare the monkeys.
In fact, before Jon Connington mobilized soldiers from the Second Legion to go south, Viserys and he had an interview in Maegor's study to make the final explanation. The two people had already discussed these clearly.
He wants the head of old Franklin Fowler, and the Fowler family must leave Tianji City.
Although the Fowler family took the initiative and wiped out the entire Ashford family, the Iron Throne's upholding justice does not mean having its hands stained with blood. Those who make mistakes will be punished, and innocent people will not be implicated.
There was no need for Franklin Fowler's twin daughters to be beheaded for their father's sins, of course, but life would be difficult after being deprived of their fiefdom.
At the same time, Viserys also promised in advance that if there were any other Dornish nobles involved in the rebellion, they would be wiped out, leaving no trouble, no mercy, killing the leader of the thieves, and depriving the family of their fiefs and confiscating them.
When necessary, Jon Connington can send a message from the crow and apply for the dragon knight to go south.
However, according to Viserys' prediction, the war should not develop to such an intense level.
The resistance of the Dornish people is not unanimous. First of all, the determination of the Dornish people to resist is not firm, and the nobles of Dorne also have their own ideas. This is different from the current situation when the young queen Rhaenys burned Dorne three hundred years ago.
And Jon Connington took Viserys's order and went south to lead an expedition to Dorne.
"Okay, Lord Cenford."
"I see."
Listening to the victim's cries, the middle-aged man with gray-red hair rubbed his temples with a headache, looked at the map spread out on the table and said.
He now has no idea on how to attack Prince's Pass.
Although His Majesty said that if necessary, you can fly to apply for dragon knights to fight, so that the dragon flames will burn on the land of Dorne again.
But right now, Dorne's door has not even been knocked on, so naturally it cannot be regarded as a 'time of necessity'.
It is not so easy for the dragon knight to dispatch, but it must be done very carefully, and this decision cannot be made lightly.
After all, the arrival of the dragon in Dorne means that the scale of the war has escalated. It is no longer about quelling the rebellion in Tianji City, but the Iron Throne's invasion of Dorne. This can easily arouse the national sentiments and resistance of the people of Dorne.
After all, the Dornish people had a precedent of resisting dragon invasion, and Dorne's harsh environment and climate hindered the advancement of ground troops.
Although Balerion III, the Black Death, is huge now, as his size and tonnage have increased, his growth rate has slowed down a lot, and he is far from reaching the size of the previous Black Death.
Therefore, before the most critical moment, Jon Clinton will not easily ask the Iron Throne to send dragon knights south.
Otherwise, this would not only be a manifestation of his own incompetence, but also lead to an escalation of the scale of the war. He did not want His Majesty the King to feel that he was an incompetent person.
"What's Lord Jon Connington's plan?"
"So that we can break through the Prince's Pass and bring the murderer to justice?"
"I see you've been thinking about it all day."
On the other side of the Chinese army's large tent, a knight wearing a fleur-de-lis pattern with a long-winged dragon in the crest couldn't help but ask.
Because the hot weather in the tent made people upset, the tone of his speech was a little rude, and he was immediately scolded by the guards of the Prime Minister.
"Standing before you is King Viserys's Prime Minister, Lord Governor of the Stormlands, Lord Jon Klyndur of Storm's End!"
"Watch your words!"
"What did I say? I've been here for a day, can't I ask about the result?"
"Besides, when I am talking to Mr. Clinton, when will it be your turn for a servant to interrupt?"
However, the angry rebuke from the guards of the Prime Minister's Tower immediately aroused a fierce rebuttal from the knights of the Levell family.
"you"
The guard of the Prime Minister's Tower on the other side was furious when he heard this, holding the hilt of his sword with one hand and glaring angrily.
He grew up in King's Landing and went to and from the Red Keep on weekdays. Who were the people he met with Lord Jon Connington? The important ministers of the Royal Council and His Majesty the King. What kind of idiots were these people in front of him? He didn't expect that he would dare to reprimand him even after a few words.
refute?
"shut up!"
But before the overmatched Prime Minister's Tower guard could say anything in reply, Jon Clinton, who was standing in the middle of the tent and looking at the map with a frown on his face, raised his head.
He looked at his guard with a somewhat stern look, so frightened that the other person immediately shrank his neck and did not dare to speak any more.
He is not afraid of these bumpkin nobles from other places, but he is afraid of his master, because all his power comes from the King's Hand.
However, although Jon Connington was dissatisfied, he did not punish his bodyguard in front of the nobles of the Reach. Instead, he decided to replace him and replace him with someone else after returning to King's Landing.
After all, when he leads the army south, although he needs to rely on the strength of some local people, he must also grasp a certain limit. It is not suitable to go too far or too far. The impression left by this will be either strong or weak, neither of which is a good result.
Then Jon Clinton's eyes glanced at the Levill family knights who had just had a quarrel.
The other person's face was not good-looking. He was a knighted knight from the kingdom, the former Earl of Rivendell and the captain of the Highgarden Guards, but he was reprimanded by an ordinary guard.
But Aigon Levi pressed the hilt of his sword, and faced Jon Connington's stern gaze without saying anything, choosing to swallow his breath.
"Internal strife before a war is the way to defeat."
"And if you cannot calm down, it is also easy to make wrong judgments and achieve irreversible consequences."
The two people who saw the quarrel closed their mouths, and then Jon Clinton slowly spoke.
What he said was like enlightenment, causing many of the nobles in the Reach who were a little over the top to instantly shiver and wake up a lot.
They had just been unknowingly affected by the hot climate in Dorne, and they had all lost their basic composure. This was also one of the difficulties in attacking Dorne. Many nobles present had a look of shame on their faces.
"I have an idea that we might be able to break through the Prince's Pass. What do you think?"
Then Jon Clinton opened his mouth and revealed the strategy he had just thought of to defeat the enemy.
