Chapter 107 Half a Year

"Then... Does Your Majesty have an answer to the question just now?"

The maester was silent for a moment, watching the body of the captive who had attacked Viserys being dragged away by the guards, then raised his head.

Viserys was speechless for a moment, then nodded, knowing what the maester meant.

The steps of a war of conquest are actually very similar, first the use of force and then the policy of carrots and sticks.

And both sides of the Upper Lorne River radiating from Andalos as the center are actually the territory that Viserys is developing.

The land in this place is flat and fertile, suitable for planting crops, but unfortunately there are no mineral resources, so we can only do the most primitive agricultural economy.

Moreover, the ethnic groups in this place are mixed, there are Andal people and Royna people, and the Dothraki people occasionally come here to graze, burn, kill and loot.

It is for these various reasons that the three free trade city-states surrounding this place have not done anything here.

Because for merchants and governors, the benefits that can be obtained here are not large, and it is likely to arouse the vigilance of other free trade city-states.

"I understand."

Time turns and flies by.

Aegon's calendar year 290.

Since a rebellion broke out in the Iron Islands across the Narrow Sea, Balon Greyjoy has been crowned king, first setting fire to Lannisport, and then setbacks in Seafront, damaging his heir Roderick.

Immediately afterwards, the Iron Throne side assembled a large number of troops, and the newly invested royal fleet also participated in the war.

In the Battle of Fairy Isle, the Royal Fleet led by Stannis Baratheon collided with the Iron Fleet, which was once invincible on the Sunset Sea.

A fierce naval battle broke out between the two sides. In the end, Stannis defeated the prestigious Iron Fleet by setting an ambush, giving Balon Greyjoy's third brother Victarion the first taste of defeat.

Balon's younger brother, Ellen Greyjoy, also fell into the sea during this naval battle, and was captured and held captive in Casterly Rock until the end of the rebellion.

The Iron Fleet has collapsed, and the form is already in jeopardy for the Iron Islands.

Then Stannis, as Admiralty, conquered Great Wyk in the name of his brother, while Sir Barristan Selmy the Fearless, captain of the Kingsguard, attacked Old Wyk.

in the final battle.

King Robert and Lord Eddard Stark personally commanded the battle, and Portley Castle and Kingsport on Pike Island have been destroyed by the fighting.

The trebuchets bombarded Pike City one after another, eventually smashing the main watchtower and part of the southern city wall, and Baron's second son, Maren Greyjoy, was killed when the city was broken.

The red-robed monk Soros, who believed in the Lord of Light, once again rekindled the sword of fire and entered the city first, followed by Jorah Mormont.

Then the royal army occupied the city of Pike, and the crowned King Balon Greyjoy only took the crown for no more than a year before taking it off again, and bowed his knees to King Robert.

His only son, Theon Greyjoy, who was nine years old, was also taken hostage by Lord Eddard Stark as his adopted son.

The Iron Islands Rebellion has finally come to an end.

While Westeros was playing lively, Andalos, who was far away on the Essos continent, was also not idle either.

This is the most precious development opportunity. When the Iron Throne has no time to notice the situation here, it decisively dispatched troops and seized the opportunity to swept the Royna settlements on both sides of the Upper Lorne River.

Viserys personally led the army to expedition, and the front of the soldiers pointed at Norvos as far east as possible, and came to the Norne River, even alarming the monks and soldiers of Norvos.

The bearded monks in the temple did not seem to expect that the Andalos people would suddenly appear here, and they were all in shock. They faced off with the Andalos army for a few days with axes in hand.

Andalus went as far as the Upper Lorne River to the Velvet Mountain region when it was pioneering westward.

It touched the ancient Valyrian road from Pentos to Norvos and then to Kohor. The caravans along the way were shocked and thought they were about to encounter an accident, but the army of Andalos did not commit any crime and then took the initiative to retreat. .

"His Majesty."

"It used to be the city of the Roina, a beautiful place, a city of green spaces and flowers, of canals and fountains."

Viserys was still riding his white warhorse.

Riding with him was a Royna guide named Evan, with olive skin and unkempt black hair.

He was one of the first Loyna people to bow down and surrender. He witnessed the assassination half a year ago. At that time, Evan thought he was dead, but he never thought that the king did not implicate everyone but let him go. took them.

And Evan was driven to charge as a prisoner of war in the subsequent battle, and was finally canonized as a knight by Viserys himself.

This kind of honor is rare. Viserys has only been canonized to a few people, and one of them includes his personal bodyguard Bessie Knight, so Evan has always been grateful to Viserys.

"Is it?"

Viserys sat on the back of the horse and turned his head slightly to look at the surroundings when he heard Evan's words beside him.

Step on.

The sound of the horse's hooves treading lightly on the stone pavement, the surrounding soldiers shuttled endlessly.

However, the surrounding area that Viserys can see is full of ruins and ruins, and the color of history is strong, but there is no trace of what it used to be.

It has been more than half a year since the start of sending troops to develop the territory, and Andalos has almost restored the territory of the ancient Andas Kingdom.

Except for the area south of the Velvet Mountain, the 'Plain Land' now controlled by the Pantos, which used to be the southern border of the ancient Andas Kingdom, has not yet been captured.

Now Viserys leads the Andalus expedition to develop these uninhabited lands, not only the Andal people who once migrated to Andalos, but the Andal villages that did not migrate back then are now completely swallowed by Viserys, also including a large number of Loyna village.

"This way..."

"Hurry up! Don't fall behind!"

The soldiers of the labor expedition are now walking through this ancient abandoned city-state of the Loyna people, checking everything in the city.

Now, Targaryen's soldiers are not only composed of Andals, and a large number of Royna have been recovered during the six-month expansion war.

Many of these Royna have joined the Targaryen banner, and now the number of people who have gone out to fight for half a year has not decreased, but has grown like a snowball.

At this moment, a horse came running from a distance.

A Loyna warrior was sitting on horseback, with mottled blood on his body, as if several arrows had been inserted.

Then the body swayed and fell off the horse.
