Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon

The interrogator asked: "Where are you from?" He spoke the common language which was not very standard.

"Storm's End--"

A finger snapped.

He asked again: "Where are you from?"

"The wind--"

A snap, then the second finger.

"Where are you from?" The interrogator calmly held his third finger.

". King's Landing, King's Landing--"

"Lies." The interrogator finished speaking, and the snapping sound rang again.

The defendant's mouth was full of blood, and many teeth were missing, and the severe pain from his fingers distorted his face: ". It's not a lie, please. It's King's Landing. No, it's Casterly Rock. I'm from Casterly Rock."

"Casterly Rock?"

". Casterly Rock, yes, Casterly Rock."

"Who, sent, you, here?" The interrogator's common language was still very unstandard.

"It's Lord Kevan, Lord Tywin"

Using the Great Memory Restoration Spell to interrogate is not what a knight or a wise king should do, so the king's knights do not need to know about this matter, and the matter was handed over to the Unsullied under Viserys.

These captured criminals slaughtered the elderly, the weak, women and children, destroyed farmland, burned houses, committed murder, treason, and treason. There are countless laws that satisfy the beheading. Viserys has decided to behead all the captured soldiers at the execution ground of Stonehenge, including several officers and even knights from the West.

Only a few people who betrayed Tywin and Kevan were left behind and sentenced to death with a reprieve. They will have to wait until they testify in court with Tywin and Kevan to see if they are allowed to wear black clothes.

Viserys has ordered people to publicly post a notice on Dragonstone to summon the two behind-the-scenes commanders accused of this war, Tywin Lannister and Kevan Lannister, to Dragonstone to testify in court, defend their reputations, and prove their innocence. Of course they will not come, but they must be summoned.

Viserys will deal with them severely this time, and he will clearly declare the canonical punishment, declare the guilt one by one, and decide to write the case into a document and send it to various places, especially King's Landing and Storm's End. With irrefutable evidence, even several knights from the West were not allowed to wear black clothes, but were stripped of their titles and publicly beheaded.

Not only that, in the name of the Dragon King of Dragonstone, he had to declare to people that such behavior was shameless and mean, and that it was a heinous massacre.

Privately, Viserys also decided to fight back.

Of course, it was not to massacre the other side's farmers, but to plant the seeds in people's minds that massacring innocent people was a despicable evil. This kind of thing cannot be stopped by condemnation and violence alone. Viserys must make this behavior notorious.

Every time Viserys passed by the burned villages these days, he saw the surviving villagers who were either in despair and silence or kneeling on the ruins and crying, and he was thinking about this thing.

He had to increase the moral cost of massacring innocent people in this world. Although the war was a confrontation between the two camps, people still had to have justice and morality in their hearts. If his army loses its morale to this extent in the future, Viserys might as well let them all be captured by the White Walkers.

The attacked villages of Stoneyonhold have become ruins. The survivors can only gather in the castle. The crops in the fields have been burned to ashes. A few families are lucky enough that their cellars are not burned, but the rescued food can hardly make them survive the winter.

And Viserys found that the only people left in these villages are the old, weak, women and children - this was the case before the attack, and there are only a few young and strong people left.

Sir Justin Marseille is still with Stannis, and the specific casualties of the army he brought to the Blackwater River are not known, but most of the soldiers on Dragonstone went with the warships, and I am afraid they are in danger.

And it is already autumn, and the reconstruction of the village and the care of the fields. Viserys can only let Juster Marseille, the lord of the Marseille family who was supported by him, do more. The lord originally wanted to show himself in front of Viserys, but was sent to the scene to personally start the reconstruction of several large villages.

"Your Majesty, the troops that went into the mountains to search have all returned, and each team has been fully equipped. The bodies of the villagers brought back from the mountains have also been identified. The monks of the Marseille family and the silent nuns are helping them bury the dead." When old Barristan and Grey Worm came to greet the king to return to the city, Viserys was sitting on a broken chair in the ruins of the Sanchon Village Temple far away from the temporary camp, staring at the broken statue of the Seven Gods.

In this search operation, Barristan was responsible for leading the free riders who came to him. The old knight was familiar with how to command these people, and Grey Worm and his Unsullied were more assisting him. Viserys actually gave Grey Worm a Westeros name called 'Grim', but he was still used to calling him Grey Worm.

The rest of the army stayed on Dragonstone, with only hundreds of people and a few knights left, but Viserys believed that no one would think this was a good time to attack Dragonstone.

Viserys called the old knight to his side: "Barristan, you must have fought many battles in the Seven Kingdoms. Based on your experience, how long will it take for a village like this to recover?"

"Uh, Your Majesty." The old knight was speechless for a moment. Based on his experience, this village will perish. Perhaps it will take several generations and a long summer for Stone Dance City to have enough people to tidy up this land far away from the castle and continue to build a village. Now the old and weak cannot rebuild here by themselves. They can only be helped by the lord's kindness and assigned to a less dilapidated place to settle down and start over, or they can only wait for the stranger's mercy.

Viserys sighed: "It takes several generations to develop such a village, but it only takes less than half a day and a fire to destroy it."

"Your Majesty, war has always been like this." The old knight didn't know what to say to persuade the king, because although it was disgusting to say, it was a routine operation in war, and whether it was done or not depended on the honor of the commander of the army.

"Is this always the case?"

Barristan didn't know how to answer. But he thought for a while and finally said it: "Your Majesty, Robert was defeated at the Battle of Ashford during the rebellion. When he went north to join the Stark Army, Tully Army and Arryn Army, he was injured and trapped in Stone Hall Town. You His father sent Prime Minister Jon Connington to hunt down Robert who was hiding in the town.

Clinton ordered his soldiers to search from house to house. But nothing was found, and Robert's allies soon arrived at Stonehall and surrounded Clinton and his army. Clinton was defeated and the army retreated. It is said that Shitang Town turned into a chaotic battlefield at that time. All the churches rang bells to warn the people to lock their doors and windows. Therefore, the battle was called the "Battle of the Bells".

Afterwards, it was said that Clinton could have easily surrounded Stonehall and ordered the burning of the town and Robert's hideout to end the rebellion before Stark and Tully could arrive with rebel reinforcements. "

Viserys asked: "If you were leading the army at that time, would you order the burning of the entire town and kill innocent men, women, and children to gain victory on the battlefield?"

Barristan did not answer directly, only said: "King Aerys believed that Clinton was responsible for this failure, deprived him of his official title and fief, and expelled him."

"The defeat on the battlefield is on the battlefield, not because of the lack of massacre of innocent people. Who equates these two things, either one or the other, is it Tywin?"

"No, this is just a statement. People think that if Tywin was the leader, the results would be very different."

“It’s true that Robert started the War of the Reaver, but don’t you think it’s ridiculous to think that killing Robert can end the war?

Because of what the king and crown prince did, Stark, Tully, Arryn, and Baratheon have no choice but to fight. Even if Robert dies, the rebels and royalists will still continue to fight. Do you know that the father who just died, Will brothers and sisters have much appeal on the battlefield? Do you know that the vassals from all over the country have gathered and raised the flag of rebellion, and there is no way out?

Just like Robb Stark, he raised an army and went south to save his father. But after Eddard Stark died, did he retreat? No, he is the king, the king of the north and the river. He is a sixteen-year-old boy. Does he want to be the king? I don't think so. But the troops of the North have already fought several battles with the Lannister in the Riverlands. Let me ask you, if you are a lord of the North and the Rivers, once Robb retreats, everyone will become rebels and can only wait to be captured by the royal court. Break, will you let Robb, the Young Wolf Lord, retreat at this time?

I think burning Stone Hall and massacring innocents will only make the rebels appear more righteous.

It's just that people like to think about what if, they think that Rhaegar might have survived on the Trident without Robert's opposition, and might have won.

But I want to say, Barristan, killing one Robert in Stonehall Town will not save the defeat of the war. There are four large territories in the Seven Kingdoms rebelling together. This cannot be stopped by the death of one person."

"Your Majesty, I can't match your wisdom. To be honest, I never thought about it like this before you said it." The king's words were always sharp. After hearing this, Barristan couldn't refute him. He considered himself not a good debater. People, so they chose to stop. Barristan knew that he had never been a person who could be remonstrated with the king. The only good thing was that he was serving a good king now.

"The killing of innocent people is not a just act and should not be advocated. I will never allow such behavior to exist under my rule. I would rather my army be defeated on the battlefield because of the enemy's bravery and strategy than to use innocent people to kill innocent people. Viserys can say this because this is actually the surplus of the strong. With that said, Viserys changed the subject and called to Gray Worm, "Grey Worm, when you get back, you go to Sir Grole and ask him to find a way for me to find some Pentos performance troupes to come to Dragonstone. No circus." Troupe, if you want a theater troupe, I can use it.”

Barristan didn't know why Viserys suddenly mentioned this. He asked: "Your Majesty, are you preparing for the 300th anniversary of Aegon's Conquest?"

"No, Barristan. I want to promote Lord Tywin's achievements. I have a play that needs a troupe to tour for free in all major port cities in the Seven Kingdoms - except King's Landing. The last scene of the play will be ' "The Rains of Castamere" concludes. May the fame of the Lannister army be known throughout the Seven Kingdoms, from Oldtown to White Harbor."

"." The old knight didn't know why, but he felt that His Majesty the King's words were as cold as ice.

——

Daenerys' brother Viserys hasn't returned to Stone Castle yet, but someone has sent back a script first. When the script came back, the guard said it was His Majesty the King - His Majesty the King's unknown jester. He read it on the way. What I wrote hurriedly after seeing the tragic situation in each village is still a draft and outline, waiting to be revised by professionals in the future.

The script is divided into four acts. It is an opera performance that people in Essos love to see. It has the usual fixed rhythm of the play. You only need to fill in the words to perform according to the script. The troupe's performances often include dialogue.

The first act opens with a song about praying for summer, which tells the story of a farmer hoping that summer will last forever.

After a practical prayer, the farmer began to complain about his troubles. His neighbor lived with an old enemy, and they had many conflicts over the issue of water and fertilizer for the farmland.

As the farmer complained, another person he complained about appeared. He was a farmer who looked honest, serious, silent and hardworking in the script.

The farmer who started to complain began to sing about how bad his neighbor was. And every time the nagging farmer said something bad about his neighbor, the neighbor would show the opposite content on the other side.

The script creator hoped that the dislocation brought by the contrast would produce a comedic effect.

This scene is a comedy. The script sets the daily life of the people to end with darkness, and the first scene ends with laughter.

The second scene is a love drama.

Two contradictory sons and daughters love each other.

After the two families finished their dinner, the boy and the girl had a secret tryst at night. The girl is the daughter of the nagging farmer. She is eloquent and urges the boy to propose marriage quickly, but the boy is troubled by the parents of both parties. After a long conversation of love, the young man made up his mind to propose marriage at the harvest party.

The second act is a farewell kiss between the young man and the girl.

The third act is a story of innocence. The nagging farmer has a little son who gets up early to herd cattle. He is responsible for showing the pastoral scenery. The script sets this act to fully show the beauty of the farmhouse, the countryside, the small bridge and the flowing water.

The fourth act is a massacre.

The script has not been finished yet, but it is set that there will be a tall massacrer. And these massacrers will never reveal who they are from beginning to end.

Until the end, when all the beautiful things are stained with blood and flames, the man in black will take off his coat, and the story will end here when the half-exposed golden emblem on the red background is revealed at the end.

At the end, the ending song will be "The Rainy Season in Castamere".

The playwright explained when creating the play that the first three acts must create extreme humor, fun, beauty, and daily life to attract the audience, and in the fourth act, all the beauty must be destroyed in front of the audience in an extremely cruel way.

This thing is not intended for the nobles to watch, but for the common people to watch, so it must be easy to understand. The first three acts must make the common people feel the same, and feel that they are the people and things around them. And the reason why the massacre was revealed half-revealed. Because only in this way, people who don’t know will ask, and people who know will say it.

The road has always been with eyes, and the people dare not speak, which can best arouse people’s endless resentment.

The playwright has not finished writing the script, but Daenerys can already see the general direction of the plot.

Daenerys can see that Viserys is very angry about the massacre of farmers in the territory this time.

Including the disposal of the captured Westland Knights, he first announced the deprivation of the title and then the trial of guilt, just because he didn’t want these people to initiate a trial by combat. Because the evidence of the massacre was irrefutable, even if the knights asked for a duel, they would be rejected. At that time, they no longer had titles, so even if it was controversial, Viserys had sufficient reasons.

Viserys was determined to use the law to chop off all the heads of these people and make them an example for publicity.

Even if they were knights and nobles, they would die if they committed such a crime, and no one could save them.
