Chapter 217 Aegon’s Resistance

half a month later.

King's Landing, Old City Gate.

Rhaegar stood at the city gate, watching a carriage drive away.

Behind the carriage was a group of well-equipped guards.

"Alas, the Riverlands are in constant chaos, and mediation is of little use!"

Rhaegar sighed lightly, turned and left.

Riding in the carriage was Prime Minister Leonor Strong.

The stalemate between Blackwood and the Brackens continues and intensifies.

Several armed fights involving more than a thousand people broke out in succession, affecting the tranquility of half of the Riverlands.

Old Tully of Riverrun could not bear the pressure and once again asked the royal family for mediation.

The Huanlong people usually put a shackle on one of its hind legs to prevent it from flying around and spitting fire.

Jenny turned around when she heard the sound and smiled happily: "Rhaega, this baby dragon is very cute."

"Hiss..."

It's the height of summer in July, and the feces and urine are roasted at high temperatures, so the taste is extremely spicy.

Rhaegar's facial features were sensitive and he couldn't breathe due to the smell, so he passed by quickly.

The dragon's lair was built on the hills of Rhaenys.

Viserys had no choice but to send Leonor away.

Jenny smiled brightly and wanted to touch the baby dragon, but she couldn't catch it.

Rhaegar's mind changed and he guessed that Otto was being hindered from implementing his policies.

Looking up, he saw Jenny holding the baby dragon Blizzard.

Since it was still too young, it flew unsteadily onto Rhaegar's shoulder.

"Yeah, it's amazing."

Occasionally, he noticed the differences on the streets.

With a murmur, Rega quickly left Silk Street.

Blizzard is a young dragon with a bad temper.

"hold on……"

Rhaegar spoke in confusion, his eyes wandering around the man and the dragon.

Silk Street is the busiest downtown in King's Landing, bustling with people.

Seeing Rhaegar appear, Blizzard neighed and flapped his wings away from Jenny.

Except Rhaegar, not even Rhaenyra could come near.

He's going to the dragon's lair.

As soon as the front foot left, the shouts of the golden robe came from behind.

Inside the dragon's lair.

At noon, the sun is hot.

Rhaegar finished handling the matter and walked downstairs.

Rhaegar walked alone through the Silk Street.

"Hiss..."

Depart from the Old City Gate leading to the Riverlands, passing through Silk Street.

Rhaegar came closer and said in surprise: "Blizzard does not reject you."

"Jenny?"

Jenny tilted her head and thought: "It's okay, it won't attack me, but I'm not allowed to touch it."

When I saw it today, the streets and alleys were full of feces and urine.

……

Blizzard was still the size of a cat, with its bright silver body crawling around on Jenny's body, stretching out its small dragon head and neighing.

The response was the people's curses, which were a mess.

Rhaegar strolled through the streets of King's Landing.

"It is forbidden to excret dirt on the street, and violators will be punished with heavy fines!"

"..."

Walking on the street, the stench hits your face.

In the past, Silk Street was smelly, but at least the street was still clean.

……

He stretched out his head and rubbed Rhaegar's cheek, then stepped on it happily with his hind feet.

Rhaegar patted Blizzard on the head and smiled at Jenny: "The little guy is very picky and a bit dangerous."

That is what is said.

Jeyne is not a Targaryen, and it is indeed unusual to be exposed to Blizzard.

The Targaryen and Arryn families have been married for generations.

Rhaegar's maternal grandmother was Daena Targaryen, the eighth child of her great-grandfather Jaehaerys.

Daena Targaryen married the then Lord Rodrik Arryn.

The two gave birth to a daughter, Emma Ayling.

Shortly after giving birth, Daniela died of puerperal fever at the age of 18.

Emma Arryn married Viserys and gave birth to Rhaenyra and Rhaegar.

Dystocia and death by caesarean section.

Rhaegar and Jeyne were cousins, but their blood relationship was shallow.

Grandfather Dondrik had a wife before marrying Daena Targaryen.

The two had three children together.

His wife died young, and he married Daena Targaryen.

Jeyne's father was Rhaegar's grandfather's eldest son from his first marriage.

From this generation onwards, the bloodlines of the two families were separated.

There is no Dragon King blood in Jenny's body.

"Blizzard is a beautiful baby dragon. I visit him often."

Jenny's eyes flickered as she stared at the person she liked and the dragon.

Rhaegar avoided her eyes, a shiver running down his spine.

"Prince, message from the Stepped Stone Islands!"

At this time.

Eric hurried from outside the dragon's lair.

Rega's thoughts suddenly cleared up, and he asked, "What's going on?"

For half a month, he rode the Glutton between King's Landing and the Stepstone Islands without making any mistakes.

Eric handed over the unopened letter and said seriously: "Three Women's Kingdom hired a group of mercenaries to invade Gray Gallows Island at night."

The letter passed through the maester and the king, and reached Rhaegar.

Rhaegar read ten lines at a glance, scribbling.

The kingdom still has more than 4,000 troops on the Stepped Stone Islands.

The main defense is on Bloodstone Island.

Gray Gallows Island was poorly defended and was recaptured by the Three Women Kingdom again.

Aegon and Llaninor attacked on dragons, but the enemy troops hid in caves to avoid fighting.

Send a message asking how to respond.

Rega slapped the letter on Ilic's chest and walked out without looking back: "I will go to Bloodstone Island first to find out the situation."

Feel his changing momentum.

Blizzard hurriedly jumped off his shoulders, flapped his wings and flew away.

"Hiss-"

The door to the dragon's cave opened, and a roar as dull as a bell came from the depths of the cave.

Rhaegar strode outside the dragon's lair.

The glutton rushed out of the crypt and passed over Rhaegar's head like a black meteor.

boom--

The dark body fell to the ground. Rhaegar quickly climbed up the ladder and rode the dragon across the Blackwater Bay.

... Bloodstone Island.

On the vast sea, the dark dragon shadow flashed past and landed on a desert island strewn with gravel.

"Cousin!"

"prince……"

Rhaegar stepped off the dragon's back.

Led by Lanino, a group of commanders rushed up.

Rhaegar glanced around and went straight to the topic: "Gallows Island is lost. Are there any other developments in the Three Women's Kingdom?"

Lanino shook his head: "Not yet, I have been hiding in the cave and never come out."

"Haha, this is trying to adopt the tactics of a crab feeder."

Rhaegar sneered, showing a dismissive attitude.

This tactic is not clever.

But during the island war, it was surprisingly effective.

Rhaegar didn't have a good idea, but he had to show confidence and stabilize the morale of the army.

"Cousin, let's go to the big tent first."

Lanino said something and leaned into his ear: "Aegon has been in a very low mood recently, and the Manderly family in White Harbor also sent people to inquire."

"The Manderlys?"

Rhaegar frowned.

Aegon didn't care.

This kid has always been lazy. He has been patrolling on a dragon all day long on Bloodstone Island. He must have been bored to death long ago.

The Mandalay family is the key.

This family owns one of the five major ports in Westeros.

He is also one of the important vassals of Stark in the north.

At the beginning of the Stepstone Islands War, Lanino asked for help from the Mandalay family and brought back more than a dozen warships and more than 1,400 soldiers.

During the Battle of Bloodstone Island, the heir to the Mandalay family conspired with Tailan and others.

Died in the rebellion.

"Let's go and have a look."

Rhaegar knew in his heart that most of the people who came were evil.

Entered the big tent.

Rhaegar saw three people with different expressions at a glance.

Aegon looked indignant, squatting in the corner and sulking.

A half-white old man with a fat body and needle-like hair.

The old man kept talking and spit flying everywhere.

Weimond, whose face was dark, sat opposite each other with a stiff face.

The sound of Rhaegar entering the tent attracted the attention of the three people.

"Rega..."

Aegon's eyes lit up, and joy appeared on his face, but then quickly faded away.

He wants to return to King's Landing.

Today I have to reason with my eldest brother Rhaegar.

"Prince Rhaegar, you are finally here!"

The fat old man stared straight at Rhaegar, approaching menacingly.

"Sir Wilson, keep your distance!"

Lanino stopped in front of him and put a hand on his chest.

This old thing is like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard.

Rhaegar bypassed the two of them, walked to the conference table and sat down with a golden sword, and asked: "Sir Wilson, what is your purpose here?"

Lanino introduced him to him on the way.

Wilson is the younger brother of the Earl of White Harbor and is seeking justice for his dead nephew.

"Prince, my nephew died for his country. Where is his murderer?"

Wilson's voice was particularly loud, and he asked with bared teeth and claws.

Look at that look, she looks like a yelling shrew in the countryside.

Rega's expression changed, he slapped the table with one hand, and shouted: "Whoever sacrifices his life for the country is the murderer!!"

Wilson didn't expect that his face would change as soon as he came up, and his voice would be restrained: "My nephew is dead..."

"I know your nephew is dead!"

Rhaegar shouted loudly again and angrily said: "He went out to fight with others privately, which is tantamount to treason. He deserves to die."

Bullshit, die for your country.

It will really put your face on the line.

Wilson's momentum weakened and he said: "But he died on the battlefield."

"Nonsense, if it weren't for the fact that he died in battle, do you think I would have easily offended him!"

Rhaegar was unceremonious: "Remember, his death was his own fault. There was no glory and no murderer."

He saw clearly what the other party was trying to do.

The heir to White Harbor is dead.

The three Tailan people who conspired together are living well.

So come to make things difficult.

Rhaegar refused to obey him and called the guards at the tent door, reprimanding him: "Drag Sir Wilson out and drive him out of Bloodstone Island."

"Prince, I come on behalf of House Manderly of White Harbor."

Wilson didn't expect the other party to be so unkind, and his beard trembled with anger.

Rhaegar said coldly: "If you want to question me, call your brother. Targaryen will give him an explanation."

"Now, get out!"

The guards were all members of the Second Sons, rushing to pledge their allegiance to Rhaegar.

He twisted Wilson's arms and legs, captured him, and carried him out of the tent like a pig.

A storm ended in a hurry.

All the commanders were stunned and silent.

Rega glanced sharply and said, "Let's get over the small episode and let's discuss the business!"

"Yes, Prince..."

The commanders woke up from a dream and hurriedly took their seats.

After months of fighting, Rhaegar's behavior became more decisive.

He is the crown prince and acting commander of the navy.

All over the world.

Apart from his father Viserys, he was the most noble person.

No one can give him a shit.

……

into the night.

Negotiation ended.

Commanders have always believed that the strategy of encirclement rather than attack should be adopted.

Patrol ships and dragons were sent to surround Gray Gallows Island, cutting off logistical supplies.

No matter how much food the pirates have, fresh water resources still need to be replenished.

There are always times when you can't help it.

Whenever troops are sent out, it is an opportunity for one's own side to attack.

Get out of the big tent.

The night is filled with stars.

"Rhaega, I have something to talk to you about!"

Rhaegar walked in front, and Aegon's voice came from behind.
