Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon

In fact, Stannis's actions were faster than Viserys expected.

The merchant ship set out from the port of Tyrosh and headed north. After sailing on the sea for several hours, Viserys ordered the ship to turn west and gave the merchant ship's next destination.

Rainhouse.

Rainhouse is the home of the Wilder family in the Stormlands. It is located on a peninsula protruding on the north shore of Cape Wrath. It is a small town facing Shipbreaker Bay.

Viserys originally planned to stop here for a short time to "buy fresh water", and then venture into Shipbreaker Bay, go to Duskfall Hall on the island of Tarth, stay there for a few days as a merchant ship pretending to buy and sell goods, and inquire about the situation.

Because Brienne the Beauty, the only daughter of Lord Tarth of Duskfall Hall and the legal heir of Duskfall Hall, might be accused of murdering Renly.

When Renly became king in Highgarden, Brienne of Tarth joined Renly in his expedition to King's Landing. In Renly's army, Brienne won a group tourney held near Bitterbridge with 116 knights participating. She used a meteor hammer to defeat many people who laughed at her, and finally defeated the favorite to win the championship, the Knight of Flowers. Renly asked Brienne what reward she wanted, and Brienne asked Renly without hesitation to allow her to join Renly's Rainbow Guard.

When Stannis's shadow broke into Renly's tent and killed Renly, Brienne was putting on armor for Renly. Renly's other guards believed that Brienne killed Renly. Catelyn, who was present, persuaded the horrified Brienne, and the two fled Renly's tent together.

Viserys thought that if the news of Renly's assassination spread, there must be something wrong on Tarth.

Viserys wanted to understand the situation as quickly as possible, but he would not take the initiative to enter the range of Storm's End. It was extremely dangerous to approach the battlefield and the army too blatantly, even if it was a real merchant ship.

Although wandering around the periphery of Shipbreaker Bay can be considered very dangerous.

There are many reefs in the waters of Shipbreaker Bay, and storms often blow, and it has not been peaceful recently.

This time, the merchant ship encountered a storm on its way to Rain House.

When the merchant ship was forced to stop by the fleet at the small port of Rain House and driven to the deep water outside the nearby fishing village to anchor, Viserys knew they were right.

In the port and fishing village of Rain House, many merchant ships that were originally planned to go to Storm's End, Griffin's Roost, Crow's Nest, and Tarth were stranded.

Even without asking, several small fleets consisting of several small, slow Myr boats and Lys warships with distinctive painted hulls would naturally force the merchant ship to stop and warn that Shipwreck Bay could not sail at this moment. In addition to their own colorful flags, the common feature of these ships is that each ship is flying the flaming red heart flag of the King of Light at the stern - a red heart surrounded by orange flames in the center of the light yellow background, and the black crowned stag of the Baratheon family is embroidered in the center of the heart.

The red, orange and yellow tricolor flag is very eye-catching.

The commander in charge of the blockade of this area is a hundred-oared ship called "Jenna". She only has a flaming red heart flag hanging high on her, indicating that she is directly under the king. Next to her is a huge three-hundred-oared warship called "Valyrian". Grole knows this ship. Its owner is Salladhor Saan, a Lys pirate who has been rampant in the Stepstones for many years and calls himself the Prince of the Narrow Sea.

Captain Grole told Viserys that except for the Jenna, the others responsible for the blockade of the periphery are probably all pirates.

Fortunately, the pirates recruited by Stannis did not rob the passing merchant ships after they were reorganized into the team, but only drove the merchant ships to find a place to anchor.

After forcing the merchant ships to stop, the fleet will not board the ship for inspection or force them to pay fees. It will only drive the merchant ships of the Free Cities to the deep waters of the nearby fishing village and concentrate the merchant ships of the Seven Kingdoms near the port.

The fleet that forced Viserys' merchant ship to stop warned them that all ships could not leave without a confirmed order, but could land in the fishing village.

When Viserys' three ships arrived here, the fishing village they were near had already established a small market for merchant ships from all over the world to trade goods on board. It was said that there were even tax collectors working there.

For the sake of caution, Viserys still strictly ordered the sailors not to disembark, but in order to get information, he still asked Grolai to bring the trustworthy people he had recruited in the past two days - after leaving Tyrosh, Viserys asked Grolai to try to recruit trustworthy men - and two more clever Unsullied to bring some food and drive the boat to the shore to inquire about the situation.

It turned out that this area had been blocked for almost two weeks, and the market was slowly established about a week ago.

The fleet responsible for the blockade only allowed individual merchant ships to pass, and other ships could not leave once they came in.

However, this situation was already considered good. You know, the merchant ships of the Seven Kingdoms, whether owned by individuals or nobles, were requisitioned by the king at the port and transformed into warships or cargo ships.

This king was very reasonable to foreign merchant ships.

There was basically no useful information to be found from the foreigners in the fishing village market. They couldn't even explain where the war was that caused the blockade.

On the third day of being forcibly stranded here. Grolai finally couldn't help but report to Viserys: "The crew are very uneasy, sir. They haven't landed for a long time. Some people are asking about the purpose of your voyage and want to know whether the previously agreed agreement is still valid and whether it is true that they will be allowed to go home after the voyage?"

Viserys's first fleet commander sat stiffly on a small stool at the door and reported carefully. He has been under a lot of pressure these days and seems to have not slept well. He has several dark circles under his eyes.

Viserys had expected that the sailors on the ship were not regular troops, and they would be very nervous in the past when they encountered such a situation. Moreover, there was a three-headed dragon hidden in the fleet, and there was also a "big man" whose plans were unknown. If anyone went on board to check, it might bring disaster to the fleet.

"What about you, are you worried too?"

The experience of the past few days made Grolai calm down a little. Three large ships are already large for a caravan, but for a fleet, the power at sea is still too weak.

Grolai has been watching the fleets converted from small pirate ships coming and going these days, and from time to time he would wonder if Viserys could ride on his three-headed dragon to destroy them in one breath, while he himself would be unscathed.

And this is just a fleet of pirates converted from small ships, while the fleet of large regular ships is often hundreds, with large warships and small warships, rowing warships, longships and other combat ships. And they only have three ships, two hundred regular troops, hundreds of panicked sailors, and a three-headed dragon.

Grolai still didn't know what the lord was planning, but he knew that they were dancing on the edge of a knife.

"I have never doubted your power, lord." Although Grolai didn't dare to look over there, he still wondered in his heart, is this three-headed dragon lying in the room a little small?

"How much of the three thousand mire gold coins I gave you before is left?"

Viserys paid for his round trip to Astapor before, and he refunded the money he spent along the way, but the round trip was smooth, and he should have a lot left after the basic expenses.

"Sir, there was no toll on the trip to Astapor, and no casualties. The cost was not high, but the ship damage and ocean-going labor costs were included."

"Just tell me how much is left."

"I'm afraid I need to calculate with the financial managers of each ship. We haven't had time to do this on the way back - uh, sir, now these three ships are all under your command!"

"Do you think half of them can be saved?"

"That's for sure. I promise!"

"Then go with someone you trust to give each of the crew a gold coin, saying it's from me, and then tell them that I keep my word. I said I'd let them go home, and I'll let them go home. In addition, these three ships belong to you, and the wages of the crew who don't want to join me will be calculated as usual. You are my fleet commander, but that doesn't mean your private property is mine."

Grolai left in a huff.

After sending the captain away, Viserys couldn't help but ask Daenerys, who had been calm and composed and had no doubts about him at all: "Dana, aren't you worried?"

Daenerys was still the best: "If you're not worried, I'm not worried either."
