Chapter 519 The Second Conquest War

Aegon's calendar year 294, the second year of the new calendar.

From the date of Viserys's coronation on the Iron Throne, the almanac changed from the Aegonian to the New Year.

And now is the second year of the new calendar. After less than half a year of recuperation, the Targaryen army has cleared away the exhaustion and embarked on the journey with renewed energy.

However, the nobles in the Western Regions, Valleys, Rivers, and Stormlands, which represent the traditional aristocratic power of the Seven Kingdoms, will naturally not be captured, and they will not be willing to let go of their power and allow them to be slaughtered.

They called on the people in the territory to join the army, publicized the so-called "atrocities" of Viserys, almost portrayed him as the second mad king, and made the people in these places panic.

Indeed, in the eyes of these nobles, Viserys was more mad than his father.

After all, the Mad King is just burning a few people to play, and what Viserys wants to burn is the rules and systems that Westeros has maintained for thousands of years.

How can such a person not be a 'tyrant'?

And so the name of Viserys I the Tyrant spread to other regions besides the Riverlands and King's Landing.

The people of King's Landing and the Riverlands may have heard of such names, but they scoffed.

They didn't know whether His Majesty the King was a tyrant or not, but many of the coalition soldiers who surrendered after the Battle of Riverrun later made great contributions and were truly allocated their own fields, which is obvious to all.

Instead of just renting the land of the lord for free.

There are even quite a few soldiers who have been canonized as knights, plus they have their own land, they can give their shabby thatched huts a resounding name, and then jokingly call themselves the "Lord of the Two-acre Land".

These changes that have not been seen since ancient times were seen by all the villagers.

Therefore, although they have never seen Viserys, let alone whether he is a tyrant, at least he has given people hope, and the land is the hope of ordinary people.

However, in areas other than the Riverlands and King's Landing, it is absolutely forbidden to talk about Viserys' exploits. They are still promoting the name of tyrants, and any voice of Viserys will be caught.

There is even a more sinister claim that Viserys eats a virgin every day, the kind that eats it alive.

And his dragon is also evil, and it also needs a lot of human flesh to feed every day. Otherwise, why is the black dragon so much bigger than the other two dragons?

However, this kind of turbid and clear division in Westeros will eventually be unified, and if it is divided for a long time, it will be united, and if it has been united for a long time, it will be divided.

The leader of the Conservative Noble Party or the rebels was Stannis Baratheon, because he was King Robert's eldest brother, the Duke of Dragonstone, the nominal heir to the Iron Throne, but he was imprisoned in King's Landing. He can never be crowned king without his brother dying for a day.

…

With the ringing of the New Year's bell in King's Landing, there is no time to pass half a month.

The second conquest war was issued in the Red Fort, and the dark cloud of total war loomed over this continent.

The Iron Throne warns for the last time any nobles who are ready to fight back to surrender or die.

They have no third option, there is no possibility of negotiation, or they choose to bow their knees, or they will keep the glory of the old nobles and their castles will be reduced to fly ashes.

The warning from the Iron Throne quickly spread throughout the seven kingdoms. Everyone knew that the final war was coming, and people were talking about it. Some were indifferent, some were worried, some were excited. There were fears and expectations.

Most of the people are numb, they have experienced too many wars and ravages, and businessmen are worried about the instability of the political situation in the Seven Kingdoms, and the risk of business is too high. Although the chaos is an opportunity, it is also a risk.

The lower ranks of the Targaryen army were excited about the coming war.

Because under the current promotion system, only war, and only war, can make them live a better life.

The many commanders of the Golden Corps also expected that the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms should all be hard bones.

This will make it easier for them to break through these people's castles in the future, kill all these nobles, plunder their wealth, and finally take their place.

There are too many nobles in the Seven Kingdoms. If they don't kill the previous batch, how can there be room for them?

Especially their hometown, their hometown has been occupied by other people, how can they regain their hometown without killing them?

On the eve of this war, it seemed that only the traditional aristocrats who were ready to fight stubbornly were terrified.

…

woo-

On the eve of dawn, the horn sounded at the head of King's Landing.

hoo~

A huge figure swept across the sky, made a low roar, vibrated its wings, swept the wind, and flew into the distance.

The gates of King's Landing were wide open, and a Targaryen army was ready to go.

wow wow wow-

With bright armor and sharp spears, they marched out of King's Landing with neat steps, and then ran high into the distance with the banner of the three Targaryen dragons.

rumbling—

The heavy iron hooves of the Dothraki also stepped on the ground, and the warriors on horseback howled excitedly.

Although King's Landing is a big city, the Dothraki are a people on the grasslands. They still prefer their previous life, but they can't disobey the orders of Kao.

Although the steppe knights are wild and unruly, they absolutely carry out Kaa's orders, and their core targets in this battle are Highgarden and Old Town.

The second war of conquest was divided into three armies. The first armies were led by Oberyn, Prince of Dorne, who had set out ahead of schedule and were now trapped in the battle of the Western Territory.

For a month or two, Oberyn had the help of the Dragon Knights, and his niece, Rhaenys, mounted Rhaegal to set fires in the mountains of the Westlands.

It caused a great blow to the Lannister army, and I don't know how many towns and castles in the west were burned, and the people were displaced and miserable.

However, Duke Tywin is wily and prudent in his use of troops. He is naturally not a person who gives up easily.

He used rumors to portray Viserys as a demon, coupled with the incursion of the Targaryen army, dragons flying in the sky, Oberyn burning 20,000 Westland boys in Red Lake, these All kinds of success aroused the fighting spirit of the nobles, soldiers and people in the west.

Tywin led the united army of the West, taking advantage of the complex mountainous terrain, stubbornly sniping at the invasion of the Targaryen army, causing great trouble to Oberyn.

Therefore, the two sides are temporarily deadlocked together, like two clever hunters, both waiting for the opportunity to kill the opponent with one blow.

The second army was the Golden Corps led by Viserys himself.

With tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, he is the main force of House Targaryen.

He led his troops against the remnants of the Baratheon dynasty, the nominal leader of the Conservative Noble Party, Stannis Baratheon, the Duke of Stormlands.

As the famous commander of the Seven Kingdoms, Stannis heard the Targaryen army rushing towards Storm's End. He did not choose to sit still, but actively sent forward troops to face it.

Because Stannis participated in the Battle of Riverrun, he knew that defending the castle was a dead end in the face of dragons.

So the vanguard of both sides broke out in a fierce battle near the Wende River.

Chapter 2 didn't finish T-T yesterday, but today I'm writing it at the unit.
