Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon

Everyone in the entire military camp was looking up into the sky, concentrating on watching the king riding a dragon and falling into the dragon tent behind the central army tent on the hill.

"Mr. Wayne, what does that represent?" A noble knight from the border who was responsible for sending Willas and Marwyn and had just caught up with the frontline troops was shocked by the three heads of the three-headed dragon under the king, which were becoming more and more strange. This man had attended the wedding of the King of Dragonstone and had seen the appearance of the three-headed dragon at that time.

At that time, only the middle head of the three-headed dragon was emitting strange flames, and the flames made people tremble.

But now, the right head of the three-headed dragon is flashing with golden lightning, and the left head is covered with a layer of white frost.

It can be seen with the naked eye that the fire in the middle head of the dragon is the most complete, and the red scales and bone spurs on the neck are emitting a dangerous red luster. The right head is full of lightning, but only half of the dragon scales and bone spurs on the neck are shining yellow, and the left head has only the horns and scales near the head emitting white light.

Everyone noticed that when the three-headed dragon shrank and fell into the tent, a small dragon flew out from the side of the dragon, as if it was carried by the huge three-headed dragon.

Two. Another one did not get off the dragon's back and flapped its wings until the king's dragon shrank.

The black one, Nightfire, was recognizable to everyone who had been to Dragonstone, but there was a new one, smaller than Nightfire, only the size of an eagle, a young dragon with gold and silver stripes, and no one knew its name yet.

But people realized that it was a new dragon hatched by the king.

The "Mr. Wayne" mentioned by the nobles in the borderland was Dr. Marwin, the consultant who was brought along by the king's Summer Hall Guards who had been chasing after the front line. Because his title was "Magic Consultant", many people were very curious about him and often came to him to ask irrelevant things.

Marwin felt very troubled by the curiosity of these nobles. In the past, when he was not taken seriously, he always made people laugh when he talked about magic. Now that more than one powerful person came to him for consultation, he felt very tedious and tired. Because a lot of "magic" is just a trick, which is far from the "magic" expected by these dignitaries, and it is difficult for Marwyn to explain the principles of magic to these dignitaries who have not received systematic training or are even illiterate.

Marwyn only said: "Your Majesty, the power of the dragon is not just fire."

Although Marwyn was evaded by Viserys and didn't know how to hatch a dragon, his eyes did not stay on the three-headed dragon and the new dragon for too long. Instead, he looked at the king himself, who was wearing armor at first glance, but blurry at a closer look.

Marwyn was puzzled as to why the king would perform the trick he provided on the dragon's back to confuse others' vision from a distance when he landed on the camp. It was a kind of Asshai secret technique, which was said to have been passed down by an ancient grassland tribe priest. The principle of this secret technique itself is actually very simple, which is to use powerful mental power to control the water mist to cover oneself so as to blur one's figure in other people's vision from a distance. The ancient grassland tribal priests used this method to "bless" the warriors of their tribe on the battlefield, giving them an advantage in horse archery during grassland battles - but despite this "blessing", the tribe still perished in the history of grassland struggles.

If it was against the enemy, Marwin could still explain that the king was using magic to distort the enemy's vision, making it difficult for people to see the king's specific location. But this is the Targaryen army's camp, and it is difficult for Marwin to understand this behavior that consumes mental energy in vain.

He took a deep look at the top of the hill, frowned, and looked sad.

He was wondering if the dragon's size change was also a trick?

In Midsummer Hall, Marwin was shocked by the magic of the king's three-headed dragon changing size freely, and he still hasn't recovered until today. He just felt that the foundation of mystical knowledge he had built over the past few decades was collapsing.

Ordinary people can quickly accept that the dragon's size change is magic, and think that magic has an extraordinary performance. But in Marwin's eyes, the king's three-headed dragon is full of unreasonable and out of mystical common sense.

After witnessing it with his own eyes, Marwyn found that all his knowledge could not explain this magic. He was so curious and shocked that he was eager to find the king to discuss the secret. However, he also knew that the king would never tell him the secret, just as the king would not tell him the secret of hatching dragons.

Marwyn could only hope that the Citadel had the knowledge he needed, and hoped that the king would abide by the agreement and make the knowledge of the Citadel public to him.

It can be said that at this moment, Dr. Marwyn hoped that the king would take over the Southland as soon as possible, so that he could take him back to Oldtown and obtain the knowledge in the Citadel.

——

The news brought back by the scouts was similar to what Viserys had just taken the time to see. There was an army about three days' journey from the fork in the road. The flag was green with a golden rose on it.

"Based on their campfires, there should be about 20,000 people." Oberyn said.

"Is it your father?" Viserys asked Willas Tyrell, who was sitting with a sad face. The heir to Highgarden was dusty and rushed all the way. He had just caught up with the front-line troops less than half a day ago.

Now Willas can only sigh, fortunately he caught up.

"It should be my brother Garlan." Willas said, "Your Majesty, please give me a horse, I will set off to the camp immediately and lead the entire army out of the camp to swear allegiance to you."

Franklyn Fowler, the Earl of Sky City and the Guardian of Prince's Pass, nicknamed "Old Falcon", said: "As far as I know, the Duke of Highgarden is your father Mace Tyrell, right?"

Vilas responded with a dry smile: "I am the heir of Highgarden. My father entrusted me with Highgarden and asked me to serve the true king."

Count Fowler smiled: "I heard that the Duke of Metz served the false king Tommen in King's Landing. Does it mean that the Duke of Metz has two real kings in his heart?"

"..." Willas forced a smile, "Now that I am here, it is enough to show that I only have His Majesty Viserys as the king in my heart."

"Your Excellency Willas, let's make it clear first." Prince Oberon said, "We can't wait for you long. His Majesty's letter has spread throughout the Southern Territory. We, the vassals, must send His Majesty to High Court as soon as possible to accept the surrender of the Southern Territory princes. I don’t want any southern vassals who have received the letter to arrive at Highgarden only to find that the king is still outside the city.”

Willas is now only glad that he asked Garland to strictly guard against the direction of Dorne, otherwise he might have surrendered under Highgarden City. Although both are surrenders, there are different terms for surrender outside the city and surrender under the city.

Viserys concluded: "Vilas, you only have one chance."

Viserys had no time to argue with Highgarden. Although the opponent had 20,000 men and he only had 10,000 men, Viserys chose to attack with all his troops after consulting Oberon and did not intend to confront Highgarden.

Now that the distance between the two sides is only three days, the scouts from both sides have discovered each other, so there is no need to hide and march openly.

There is a great plain outside Highgarden, and there are only some forests where troops can hide. The scouts sent by Oberon checked all the locations nearby where ambush might be buried. After confirming that the defenders of Highgarden did not hide any ambushes to cut off the retreat, Viserys ordered the march to be accelerated, in order to reach within a day's journey of the enemy as soon as possible, maximize the pressure, and force a surrender as soon as possible.

——

"We have 20,000 people, and the Dornish army is only 10,000. The master of the house is still in King's Landing, and there is no order from the lord. How can we surrender without a fight? The 20,000 men from the Reach surrendered to the 10,000 Dornishmen. This is the greatest humiliation the Reach has ever suffered. If we surrender today, how will we be able to hold our heads up when facing these Dornish people in the future?"

Willas did not expect that there were still some people in the army who were unwilling to surrender. They were mainly some sworn enemies of Dorne and families with hatred, such as Oakheart in the Ancient Oak City and Fossoway in the Cider Hall. There were also some who had other agendas. family.

"We surrender to the Targaryen king, not Dorne."

"King Targaryen brought more than ten thousand benefactors with him. Isn't this contempt?"

"And dragons."

"I'm sorry, Lord Willas, but I have to wait for Ser Baelor to make up his mind. I believe Oldtown has received King Targaryen's letter, and Ser Baelor will definitely bring news."

A knight from the Kuy family said: "Lord Villas, if you don't want us to fight, please allow me to take the Kuy family's army back. I can't make a decision for the family leader until I get the order from the family leader."

A Bisbury family hesitantly followed: "Please also allow the Bisbury family's army to go back."

"Cotoine Family"

"The Bulwer Family"

These families are all vassals of the Hightower family. Although these knights who were summoned made excuses that they could not represent their families, Vilas felt that his authority was being challenged.

Garlan Tyrell stood up for his brother: "Are you going to refuse to obey the orders of the heir to the Southward Ward?"

"No, Sir Garland, we just can't make this choice without our master. I believe you and Lord Willas can understand us. The Duke of Mace has not returned yet, and our master is not here. We are called to serve Tyrell. But since the two adults don’t want to fight, why not allow us to lead our troops back? "

Regardless of what they said, Willas only looked at the knights of the Hightower family. The attitude of these families actually lies in the summoned Sir Hightower.

Sir Calvin, named Sir Hightower, said sadly: "Lord Willas, can you ask King Targaryen to give us a few more days until we receive the letter from the family master and then decide how to deal with it?"

"His Majesty Viserys's army will arrive tomorrow. You don't intend to be loyal to the real king. Are you determined to fight for the false king?"

As soon as these words came out, the military meeting was in an uproar. Vilas did not expect that Sir Tanton Fossoway of the Cider Hall would side with him at this time. But it makes sense when you think about it. The Cider Hall and Highgarden are very close. If an accident occurs, the Cider Hall and Highgarden will be the first places in the South to bear the brunt. Fossoway just didn't want to surrender to Dorne, but he didn't really want to go against the dragon king.

"Sir Tanton, where do you start with this? We just want to wait for a letter from the family master. To be honest, I myself also want to be loyal to His Majesty Viserys, but now I am bringing the army that the family master trusts me to give me. If the family master is different, "Why should I call myself an honorary 'knight'?" Calvin Hightower responded.

Vilas narrowed his eyes and looked at his brother Garland. I saw the same doubt in his eyes.

"Sir Calvin, do you think so?"

"Please allow me to take the Hightower army back and wait for Ser Baelor to make a decision."

The corners of Vilas' eyes twitched, in disbelief. The Hightower family seemed to have other ideas.
