Chapter 1018 Finding Allies
And when he first saw Daenerys Targaryen's last words, he actually already had an answer in his heart.
In Bessie's view, the two children Helos and Aemon are very good, but the way of excellence is not the same.
Helos is still too cold-blooded in nature, and he can do anything to achieve his goals, such as suddenly capturing King's Landing, putting Queen Arianne who raised him under house arrest, and becoming the Prince Regent.
Compared with Helos, Aemon has a much gentler personality. He has an optimistic and positive attitude towards life. He can still be indomitable in the face of setbacks. He has a very friendly charm, a straightforward personality, and is good at uniting people around him. Even the extraordinary ability to turn an enemy into a friend.
Heros may indeed have more personal abilities than Aemon, but the last thing you need to be a king and an emperor is personal ability.
To be the best ruler of an empire, you don't have to be the bravest general, the wisest wise man, or the shrewdest businessman.
If it is really like that, it would be too difficult to be an excellent emperor. In fact, the ruler only needs to use the abilities of these people flexibly, and let their abilities become their own abilities, such as arm commands.
Although Bessie already had an answer in her heart when she saw that sentence, not to mention that Bessie and Aemon still have a master-disciple relationship, but he still confirmed it repeatedly for a long time to be cautious, so he fell silent. After a while, he finally raised his head.
He is not a person with a lot of nonsense, so since he already has an idea in his heart, he speaks bluntly.
"His Royal Highness now has a power far beyond yours, Aemon."
And Aemon had been waiting for a long time, and his inner expectations were constantly falling. He thought that his teacher would not agree to participate in the battle for succession.
Because he knows Bessie, the other party is not a person who likes to participate in state affairs, and his character is very low-key and reserved.
But just when Aemon was ready for the teacher to reject him, he didn't expect to hear the other party speak like this.
Aemon was stunned for a moment at first, but then he was overjoyed.
Since the teacher said so, then he agreed.
"So what am I going to do now, teacher."
The silver-blond-haired young man said with some gleaming eyes, the teacher was willing to help him, and this was a good start, declaring war on his brother and competing for the only position.
Now Aemon only feels full of energy, and can't wait to immediately devote himself to the work of resisting his brother's tyranny.
"So what are you going to do now?"
And Bessie, who was wearing an iron mask, raised her head slightly and looked at her former attendant. The eyes under the mask were deep, and there was a touch of clear white hair on her temples.
Oberyn was in his sixties. In fact, Bessie was not too young. He was a few years older than Viserys, and he was now reaching his fateful year.
The two pillars of the empire do not know when they have quietly aged, but the change of the old and the new is always a carriage that never stops. It does not care when its passengers get off. After all, there will always be young faces gradually. replace their shadows.
Just as Viserys disappeared for so many years, so did his three wives, each generation has its own stories and heroes, and each generation also has its own opportunities.
"How do you describe Gaelin in the "History of the Loena War"?"
The History of the Loena War by Bedgar, with a copy in the Red Keep, was considered to be the best description of the Loena War, and was therefore included in the Imperial Military Academy. Listed as key textbooks.
Aemon also graduated from the Imperial Military Academy. Naturally, he is very familiar with this book. After being reminded by his teacher, Aemon immediately thought of it.
"Prince Garin was once the most influential commander-in-chief in the city-state of Goloina, known as 'the great Garin' or even the 'Gerin trembling in Valyria'."
"He led 250,000 men against the invasion of Valyria, and before the dragons got involved in the war, Prince Garin was victorious and repelled the attack of the Freehold."
"But then the angry Fortress of Liberty sent hundreds of dragons to reverse the war, and Prince Gaelin was captured alive."
"He has a wise saying about war."
And Aemon, who is familiar with the road, can recite the life of Prince Gaelin, but then he racked his brains for a while, and then he still wanted to understand what the teacher meant.
"When the enemy's strength is stronger, don't take the risk of choosing to be small and big."
"It is to actively win over allies and balance the gap between the two sides."
Prince Gaelin has never fought any beautiful battles in his life. He fought steadily and steadily. With the comprehensive strength of the number and training of soldiers, logistical supplies, weapons and equipment, etc., he won the wars steadily.
The most glorious moment in his life was when he faced the invaders of Valyria's Free Fortress. The 250,000-strong Roina army crushed Valyria's slave army almost like a broken bamboo in the early stage, and the slaves did not fight much. Desire, when the war comes, it will collapse at the touch of a button.
But this was the most glorious moment in Prince Gaeling's life, and it was also the moment when he fell from the altar.
Because the Valyrians later sent a hundred dragons, the raging dragon flames directly wiped out the Royna army, which was wrapped in a great victory.
And it's not that Prince Gaelin didn't count the Valyrian dragons, of course he did, but the reason why he went against the dogma of his life and took the initiative to attack was because in the face of dragons, he desperately discovered that no matter what No matter how to find allies, the gap cannot be closed.
So in the end Prince Galin was captured alive, locked in a cage and humiliated, and it was later said that the mother River Lorne exploded, drowning the invaders who attacked Chayon, the souls of the fallen conquerors still wandered under the waters, and Prince Galin Climb out of his watery grave and become the Shroud King.
Of course, there are legends behind it.
Now Chayon or Sadling is also under the control of the Valyrian Empire. It is located at the confluence of the Lalulu River and the Lorne River, the southernmost tip of the Golden Field, but it is foggy and infected with gray scales everywhere. The sick stonefolk were wandering, so no matter how many owners changed, the Valyrians ruled here again, but they didn't go in to disturb them.
"You mean that I need to find an ally to fight against my brother together. Even Targaryen shouldn't rely on fighting alone."
Aemon's lavender eyes were bright, but after thinking for a moment, he asked with some distress.
"But in this case, who else can I find? Teacher."
"Mother said no one would want to be on my side in this situation unless it was a lunatic."
