It has been said that power is the art of fighting for dominance.

A wise king will take advantage of the contradictions and disagreements between his subordinates to quietly complete the control of power, and then establish his supremacy in the conduct of government affairs.

But unfortunately, wise kings are often in the minority, especially when it comes to blood ties, and it is good that most of them can barely be called mediocre.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the seizure of power is often accompanied by civil strife and bloodshed, and very few monarchs can regain their rights without bloodshed.

At least with Daenerys Targaryen's intelligence and political sense, she simply can't accomplish this complex project beyond her own capabilities.

Therefore, Zhang Cheng taught her how to use violence and intimidation through a class to make those nobles who were not very obedient learn to be humble and submissive.

With the bodies of the Chancellor and his family hanging on the walls, the Council approved an unprecedented proposal to send troops against the Lannisters who refused to submit to King's Landing.

In less than two days, more than 50,000 troops were gathered, and the number of knights was more than 800, and they were wrapped in solid armor from head to toe.

Of course, these are not the most desperate for the enemy!

What made the Lannisters extremely vassals feel desperate the most was the huge figure that constantly hovered in the sky, and the magic dragon that could not be killed, Kulo Kirba.

"Look at the poor ones, they're all in a state of panic and despair. I can guarantee that as soon as the battle begins, more than half of the soldiers will immediately turn and flee. Oberon put down his nautical binoculars, and his tone was undisguised with contempt.

Remember how brilliant the Lannisters were during Tywin's lifetime, not only did they have a good legion, but they also defeated almost every rival, and they were just one step away from taking full control of the Iron Throne.

But now?

All that remains is a bunch of idiots clinging to the so-called family pride and glory!

Of course, it is also possible that fear drives them to not surrender.

After all, the inhabitants of half the continent know that in order to curry favor with Robert, the Lannisters did something to the Targaryen family, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as frenzy.

God knows if they surrender, they will be greeted by a massacre.

Many times, losers are reluctant to surrender even though they know they are defeating, and this is the reason.

"When can we attack?" Daenerys squinted into the distance, deliberately pretending to be cold.

After a few days of trying, she gradually found that whenever she put on a straight face, those ministers who were originally presumptuous would be extremely cautious, and there was a little more respect and fear in their eyes.

No doubt!

This is the change in the dominance of power!

"Don't worry! Remember, this is not a war, but a public execution. Our goal is for everyone to see for themselves what rebelliousness can be. So killing and destroying is not the whole goal, what is really to do is to imprint fear firmly into the heart of everyone. Zhang Cheng touched his chin and explained meaningfully.

"Oh, what are you going to do?" asked Oberon, slightly curious.

"It's easy! The first is to create panic and make the inhabitants of the city realize that Castle Rock is not as impregnable as they thought it would be......"

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng raised his arm and shot a dazzling red light into the sky.

Next Second......

The dragon, which had been just hovering in the sky, swooped down, opened its bloody jaws, and spewed out deadly dragon breath along the city walls.

Thousands of soldiers who were waiting for the battle were burned to ashes, and even the walls made of hard rock melted into hot magma.

Fortunately!

Kulo Kelba had no intention of continuing the assault on several other walls and fortresses, and after destroying one wall, he quickly climbed back hundreds of meters above the sky.

It took less than fifteen seconds to make the nobles and commoners of Kaiyan City understand that it was impossible for the city to hold it.

After a short silence, the soldiers belonging to Daenerys suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers, and some adrenaline-pumping fellows even rode their horses to the city wall to show off their excitement.

For the army, nothing boosts morale more than a low-hanging victory.

In addition, Castle Rock is the nest of the Lannister family, and it is far more affluent than most towns, and it is rumored that the vault beneath the castle is full of gold mined from the mines.

In short, as long as you grab it once, you will find it in the second half of your life.

In the continent of Westeros, the army is actually no different from bandits, and even many ruthless guys have secretly begun to wonder if they can slaughter the city.

......

Just as Castle Rock was plunged into unprecedented panic and chaos, Warrent had already secretly left the "Den of Joy" through the secret passages to let him linger, and he was still collecting information in the inns and bars of King's Landing.

Whether it's myths and legends of ancient times, lost civilizations, or rumors of supernatural forces around the world, he would rather kill by mistake than let them go.

It took about two or three days to put together a book of notes that were not too thick, and a few of them were marked with a red pen as things that he considered a threat to him.

Among them, Kulo Kerbach is in the first place!

As for the rest, there is the extinct Valyria, the shadows where the supernatural forces are most active, the strange spirits beyond the Great Wall of the Northern Desperate Realm, the children of the forest who have disappeared from people's sight, the Lord of Light, and so on.

I have to say that Warrent's ability to survive until now with not too strong strength basically depends on being cautious.

He is not a fool, he knows not to be fooled by superficial phenomena, and directly explores the most essential parts of the world.

But overall, he was quite satisfied with the place called Westeros, and even if something terrible happened, he was sure that he would be able to escape.

Anyway, so far, there is no sign of the destruction of the world from future fragments for the time being.

Unbeknownst to Warrent, however, the future world he saw did not include the army of the undead that was rapidly growing in the North......
