Chapter 151 Preparation for War

The Royal Fleet has just extinguished the rebellion in the Iron Islands, and morale is in full swing.

Moreover, the country has also recovered from the heavy blows suffered in the usurper war, and gradually entered the right track.

"Must be vigilant"

During this time, the old Sir was lying on the hospital bed, but his thoughts were still clear, and he was making the final explanation for Viserys.

Regardless of whether he can survive this disaster, he is destined to be unable to participate in this battle.

And Viserys' face was also very solemn, and he nodded slightly.

"I know."

He and Robert Baratheon were destined for a fight, something Viserys had known long ago.

Previously, the other party was forced to let Targaryen develop on the Essos continent for various reasons, but he knew that these were not indefinite.

As Targaryen's power expanded, the fat man sitting on the Iron Throne on the other side of the narrow sea became more and more uneasy.

From what Viserys knew about Robert Baratheon, he was a fiery man with a fiery temper. If he knew that Targaryen now has dragons, he would not be able to sit on the Iron Throne and wait until he was killed. dead.

He will definitely choose to take the initiative and strangle the threat to the cradle.

"This battle is already doomed, isn't it?"

Viserys sat at Sir Geoffrey's sickbed, one hand holding the old man's dry palm.

The sunlight from outside the window shone in and shone on the side face of the Targaryen boy, with long eyelashes and well-defined cheeks.

Then he shook the old man's hand firmly, then stood up, turned and left the ward.

"His Majesty."

The maester, who was standing quietly outside the door, saw Viserys come out, put his hands in front of him, and bowed slightly.

"You must heal him."

Viserys' eyes were fixed on the maester in front of him, and he rarely used a commanding tone.

The bachelor's body trembled slightly, then bowed again.

"Although Mr. Jeffrey is old, his body is still tough."

"It should be fine."

"That's good."

"If that's the case, then I'll leave it to you."

Then Viserys nodded, passed the maester's side, and stumbled down the steps.

When such a thing happened, Andalos must actively prepare for the battle, and beware of Baratheon's recurrence of the battle of the nine-copper king of the year, suddenly attacking across the narrow sea.

The figure of Viserys hurried away, and the maester exhaled slightly, watching Viserys gradually disappear from his field of vision, then tidied up his clothes and returned to the ward.

…

Andalos is making every effort to prepare for the battle, guarding against all accidents.

And in the distant King's Landing.

His Majesty the King couldn't help but greedy for a few more cups. A tall fat man was shaking at the moment, and then accidentally spilled the jug on the table, and the wine was scattered all over the floor.

A beautiful woman with long blond hair and graceful and luxurious looked at everything in front of her coldly. It was obvious that her eyes were not looking at her husband, but at a wild boar.

But it all came to an abrupt end when the drunk, topless man turned around with a glass of wine.

The woman's face reappeared with the right smile, neither appearing too cold nor making herself feel sick and want to vomit.

And with a big belly showing thick chest hair, Robert held up a wine glass, his face was flushed with red, and then he laughed and said.

"The seven gods are above!"

"This guy Stannis finally lived up to my expectations again."

The reason why His Majesty the King is so happy now is naturally that he won the battle. The naval battle on Dragonstone Island was extremely beautiful, and he had the help of the Valerian family, plus he bought the internal response, and then cooperated with the inside and outside.

If the commander-in-chief of the Dragonstone Fleet was not experienced in naval warfare and decisively ordered to leave the battle and then evacuate, there would even be the risk of annihilation of the entire army.

It was a revenge for the entire fleet that was burned by a fire that year, and Robert let out a sigh of relief.

As a reward, when Robert received this good news, he directly conferred the canonization of Dragonstone to Stannis.

However, Stannis, who had just returned from the victory last night, did not look very happy when he received the news.

Stannis had never been to Dragonstone before, and he had some expectations for Dragonstone.

After all, this is the starting point of Aegon's conquest of Westeros, and it is rumored that Dragonstone has an unimaginable amount of wealth, which he believes is dragon eggs.

But Stannis's miserable beauty dreamed well, but it wasn't until he landed on Dragonstone that he realized it was cleaner than his trouser pockets.

As the king's brother, Stannis doesn't even have a fief now. The powerful royal fleet under his command is only commanded in the name of the king's brother. In fact, it has nothing to do with him. He even There is no need to ask for military salaries, it is entirely the burden of King's Landing.

However, Stannis, who has no fief, still needs to support the vassals and soldiers who are determined to follow him.

When the three brothers of the Lu family in Storm's End were separated, as a punishment for defeating the entire army, Storm's End was bypassed as the first-in-line heir and fell directly on the head of his younger brother Renly.

However, a group of soldiers who once followed Stannis to defend Storm's End chose to continue to follow Stannis to leave.

This includes Maester Crescen of Storm's End.

"Lord Stannis."

"When I saw your brother today, remember not to quarrel with him."

The two of them hurriedly walked in the garden in the Red Fort, one after the other, and Maester Cressen persuaded them.

As a servant of Storm's End, Maester Cressen watched the three brothers grow up. The eldest, Robert, had a hot temper, and the second, Stannis, was also stubborn.

The tempers of these two people are not compatible, so every time they see each other, they will quarrel.

"This time we are only discussing the possibility of attacking the Targaryen remnants on the other side of the Narrow Sea."

Having said that, Maester Cressen shook his head slightly.

"If I knew the current situation, I would kill the mother and son who escaped to Longshi Island no matter what."

Hearing the bachelor's words, Stannis' face was slightly ugly, but he didn't say much.

Now the power of Targaryen is resurgent, and it is no longer a fleet that can be wiped out.

According to the information we have now, in order to defeat Andalos, at least His Majesty the King needs to organize an army of 30,000 people, hundreds of warships, and supply transportation along the route. It was unrealistic to transport materials from the mainland. Good to get the support of a free trade city-state.

And as a homeland to fight against invasion, Andalus' peasants may take up arms and join the war at any time.

The difficulty of conquering Andalus has skyrocketed. After all, the territory of Andalos can now rival one of the seven kingdoms.

If this war does break out, the burden on the entire country is no less than a re-fighting of the usurper war.

"It's hard..."
