Chapter 138: Sweeping the Seven Kingdoms
After taking Meereen, Li Mu took the two remaining important towns of Slave Bay, Yuankai and Astapor. Soon after, Troros and Elia were also incorporated under Li Mu's rule as subservients. At this point, the entire Slave Bay area was incorporated into Li Mu's control.
After taking control of Slave Bay, Li Mu personally led a team to conquer the free trade city-states, and the rest of the people were stationed in Slave Bay. The first is to take the opportunity to repair up, and the second is to train the troops to adapt to the mode of water combat. The third is to build and train warships.
The Dothraki are herders and almost no swimmers, so it is natural that training them to adapt to life on the water is a top priority. Li Mu didn't want their subordinates to vomit after stepping off the warship, their legs were weak, and they didn't have the slightest combat effectiveness.
And if you want to capture the Seven Kingdoms, then surface warships are naturally indispensable. The Westeros continent, where the Seven Kingdoms are located, is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and there are a large number of islands scattered around, and the Iron Islands among the Seven Kingdoms are even more famous for their warships, in order to deal with them, Li Mu had to train a sufficient surface fleet.
Fortunately, the surface fleet at this time was mainly based on broadside battles to solve the victory, and there was not a very high technical level. Therefore, as long as the problem of swimming among the Dothraki is solved, then Li Mu has a lot of chances of winning.
At this time, the continent of Westeros also set off a vigorous battle of the five kings. However, at this time, the soldiers of various countries are elite soldiers, Li Mu's surface warships have not been trained, and several of his dragons are still in their infancy, only a few feet in size, which is not enough to decide the battle situation, therefore, Li Mu decided to wait and see for a while, waiting for the next opportunity to come and capture the Seven Kingdoms in one fell swoop.
Soon, the opportunity that Li Mu had been waiting for came, and after the Battle of the Five Kings, Joffrey was murdered by Old Rose with poison and blamed on the little demon Tyrion. Prince Oberon, the Red Serpent of Dorne, was also killed by the Mountain for promising to fight for Tyrion. Tyrion killed the old lion Tywin as he fled, and after Joe's younger brother succeeded to the throne, the old sparrow took advantage of the situation and even imprisoned Cersei for a time. At this time, the Seven Kingdoms can be said to have lost a lot of strength, not only the Lannister, which occupies King's Landing, has fallen into an unprecedented crisis, but even the kings of the remaining six countries have died five, and it can be said that the entire Seven Kingdoms have become a mess of sand, all of which are carrying out the transfer of power, and it can be said that they have fallen into an unprecedented period of weakness.
Taking advantage of this excellent opportunity, Li Mu gave an order to lead the three giant dragon soldiers to divide into three routes and directly take the Westeros continent.
The first route was personally led by him, leading the elite sailors to directly take the Iron Islands, the most elite of the navy and the least loss of strength. The second way is led by Daenerys, assisted by Gaga Blanga, leading a dragon to the High Court and seize the continent's wealth of Dorne in one fell swoop. As for the third route, it was jointly commanded by Andugan and Hawugen, who led an army from Pantos and sailed directly into Blackwater Bay, where they marched into King's Landing. Their mission was to kill all the major nobles, prop up the small and medium-sized merchants to the throne, and replicate Meereen's rule in King's Landing.
As for the reason why Andugan and Hauneugen were sent instead of Daenerys, it was mainly because Daenerys was afraid that Daenerys would miss her hometown and stay on Dragonstone Island (where the Targaryens started, located at the mouth of Blackwater Bay) and delay the warplane.
The three armies are progressing very well. With the dragon opening the way, coupled with the absolute numerical superiority of the Dothraki, even the Seven Kingdoms may not have been able to fight when their strength was at their peak, not to mention that the Seven Kingdoms were in civil strife, and most of their elite strength was consumed in the previous Battle of the Five Kings. The rest is simply not enough to compete with the Dothraki.
The battle was very simple, first the dragon opened the way, used the dragon's breath to break through the opponent's defensive positions and gates, and then the Dothraki rode up on their horses to harvest. The only giant crossbow on the Westeros continent that could damage the dragon was also destroyed by Andugan in advance under Li Mu's reminder. And burned the drawings of its manufacture. For a time, in the entire continent of Westeros, except for the leader of the strange ghosts, the Night King, the dragon was invincible. However, the Night King is still hanging outside the Great Wall of Despair, and he can't threaten the south for a while.
In the face of the crushing disparity in strength, the resistance of the Seven Kingdoms was as weak as a baby, and Li Mu swept away all the areas south of Carlin Bay like a devastating one, and established the model of merchant governor rule in every city. Split the original Six Kingdoms into dozens of city-states. When Li Mu was about to lead his troops north to the north, many families in the north united and sent messengers to ask for peace.
Li Mu thought about it and agreed to the other party's conditions, but asked them to unconditionally respond to Li Mu's call, otherwise, they would lead a large army to sweep the northern border.
There are two main reasons why Li Mu agreed to the northern nobles to sue for peace, the first is that the northern territory is mostly a bitter cold land, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the merchant group is not developed here, and the loyalty of the people is much higher than that in the south, and the merchant governor system is not too advantageous to promote here. The second is that the Dothraki people are not adapted to the climate in the north, so they will inevitably encounter a large number of non-combat attrition when they go to the north to fight. So, Li Mu thought about it again and again and decided to accept the other party's conditions. and sent someone to find the wandering Three Fools and Er Ya and return to Winterfell to rule over the entire northern nobles.
At this point, the Seven Kingdoms were completely pacified, and Li Mu famously occupied the two continents of Essos Continent and Westeros Continent, becoming the largest force in the world on this side.
However, at this point, Li Mu was not satisfied, he had not reaped enough benefits in this world. He first sent people to Dragonstone Island to dig up the dragon crystal buried there, and then sent people to the city of scholars to find out all the information about the strange ghosts. Although, in the plot, Sam repeatedly mentioned the strange ghost in the city of bachelors and was laughed at by the bachelors, and the bachelors also thought that the strange ghost was nonsense, but Li Mu was not Sam. In the face of a mighty army and a shining butcher's knife, the Scholars became more diligent than slaves, and soon found all the information about the Strangers in the City of Scholars.
Li Mu created a weapon against the Aliens according to the content of the information, and led the soldiers in the north to kill the Wild Men outside the Great Wall while winter was not yet approaching, completely exterminating the Alien Legion, and even the leader of the Aliens, the Night King, was burned to ashes by Li Mu with lava rays and flame blasts. Li Mu also easily obtained the throwing spear in the Night King's hand that could kill the dragon.
However, in order to prevent the resurgence of the strange spirits, Li Mu reorganized and rebuilt the Night's Watch legion, and the wild people from outside the country also successfully moved into the northern territory to enrich the local population. Embarrassment also succeeded in becoming the leader of the Night's Watch Legion, blowing cold winds on the Great Wall of Desperation all day long.
At this point, Li Mu's title task is officially over, but because it is a title task, Li Mu still has a few years to explore this world, so Li Mu plans to use this time to temper himself.
