Damn it! It's not a special entry that provides me with attack power?
Jacaerys looked at the prompt before him with a livid face.
Due to the first special entry, he had always believed that special entries were beneficial entries that pets gave back to their masters.
But now, this Dragon entry completely confused him.
After spending ninety thousand entry points, his current balance was only a little over twenty-one thousand, so he couldn't refresh again.
There was nothing he could do, so Jacaerys could only choose to replace the Waterproof entry with the Dragon entry.
Shaking his head to cast aside the disappointment of not meeting his expectations, he seriously analyzed the Dragon entry.
Dragon attribute attack bonus, this was a decent enhancement attribute.
But Dragon Slayer, which had the same attribute, was a common entry, so there was no reason for this attribute to be a special entry.
Therefore, the key point of the Dragon entry was the second attribute, Dragon Might +20%.
Dragon Might, in the game of his previous life, was generally auras that weakened enemies or strengthened allies.
And the Dragon Might Jacaerys had actually seen was the sheep and Dothraki warhorses that were intimidated by Womax.
Since he couldn't refresh anyway, Jacaerys simply spent another ten thousand entry points to upgrade the Dragon entry to blue quality.
[Dragon (Blue): Dragon creature attack damage +50%, Dragon Might +50%]
Neigh~~
Baa~~ Moo~~
The moment the Dragon entry was upgraded, the horses, cows, and sheep in the East City Workshop District all let out restless cries.
In fact, it wasn't just the animals; everyone's heartbeats, including Stone's, inexplicably accelerated a few times, but they couldn't find the reason.
After noticing the noise in the workshop district, Jacaerys became even more certain of the immense potential of the Dragon entry.
He decided to gather fifty thousand points as soon as possible and prioritize upgrading this special entry.
After the war ended, it was time for the most tedious cleanup work.
Fortunately, the late-arriving Valyrian Fleet helped, which sped up the overall progress significantly.
First to be collected and loaded onto ships were the gold and silver treasures within the city of Myr, as well as all high-value artworks and handicrafts.
These things were hard currency on any continent.
Then there were the weapons and equipment left behind by the soldiers of Myr, as well as the large ballistae that had been disassembled into parts after their surrender.
The weapons and equipment could be used by the cannon fodder legions that would be supplemented later, and the large ballistae could temporarily not be used, but they had to be available.
After all, the reason Jacaerys was desperately getting stronger was to deal with the Blood Dragon Dance in the future.
Large ballistae had little effect on Womax with entry bonuses, but they had a good effect on other dragons.
Finally, there were the vast reserves of food supplies.
Excluding the nearly forty thousand people killed by Jacaerys and his army, as well as those who died in the riot, there were still over seventy thousand people left in Myr.
Most of them were women, elderly, children, and slaves.
However, Myr was originally a city-state with developed handicrafts, and the proportion of craftsmen among these people was not small.
Jacaerys had already plundered sufficient food supplies, so he treated Myr's food supplies as wages distributed to the craftsmen and laborers.
These craftsmen and laborers had only one job: to produce as many aiming scopes and special crossbows as possible and assemble them together.
After the battle of Myr, Jacaerys's army actually grew larger as he fought.
The The Unsullied Legion lost nearly a hundred people, now only having around five hundred and twenty.
But by time, Rudy should have already arrived in Astapor.
It wouldn't be long before he could bring back thousands of new Unsullied.
The Bloodstone Island soldiers numbered nearly a thousand, and these veterans, whose loyalty was gradually increasing, could be considered mid-level combat power.
They were also the main force that would be transferred to the special Crossbow Legion next.
Generally speaking, Jacaerys would not easily expend them.
The cannon fodder legion numbered nearly four thousand, all of whom survived the siege of Tyrosh.
Since they were clearly called cannon fodder, their combat power could only be described as better than nothing.
They belonged to the faction that was used and supplemented as needed.
Then there was the newly incorporated Valyrian Fleet, totaling four thousand people.
Before the new Lord of the Tides, Earl of Driftmark, was crowned.
They all had to follow the commands of Jacaerys according to the last words of Earl Corliss.
And who was the current heir to the Lord of the Tides?
It was Jacaerys's younger brother, Lucerys Valyrian.
Lucerys had always been obedient to him, and his fleet was still equivalent to Jacaerys's.
Of course, if other unexpected situations occurred.
For example, if 'The Uncrowned Queen' Rhaenys wanted to seize power and defect to the Green Party.
Then Jacaerys could only apologize to Earl Corliss, who had protected House Valyrian until his death.
As time passed, Myr and Lanak Island strengthened Jacaerys's power every day.
On one of these days, the King's command, which had gone through many twists and turns, reached Jacaerys, who was stationed on Lanak Island.
But he only glanced at it before tearing this piece of waste paper into shreds.
Commanding me to go to King's Landing and confront some damn Lord Boggs on the spot?
Heh heh, what right does she, Alicent, have?
...
The last day of 127 AC, King's Landing.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Two massive dragons descended from the sky, landing steadily in the open space of the Dragonpit.
Rhaenyra and Daemon successively jumped off their dragons, and the Dragon Guard waiting nearby immediately led Syrax and Caraxes back into the Dragonpit.
"Rhaenyra, we really didn't need to come to King's Landing.
Jacaerys can keep his cool, how can you be provoked by Alicent?"
Daemon glanced at the departing Dragon Guard and softly advised Rhaenyra, who was walking ahead.
"I came here just to tell them.
My son is not an inhuman butcher!"
Rhaenyra didn't turn her head at the words, leaving behind this sentence before continuing to walk with determined steps towards the Red Keep.
More than twenty days had passed since the Boggs Family castle was burned down by a dragon.
Since the Stepstones and Dragonstone had not responded, Queen Alicent sent two more King's commands through the Hand of the King.
The tone of reprimand and blame in these three King's commands became more severe each time.
Especially this last one.
As the news of Jacaerys destroying Tyrosh had recently spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms, this King's command, in addition to addressing the matter of the Boggs Family.
Also directly pointed out Jacaerys's inhuman butchery behavior, stating that it was blackening the names of the Targaryen royal family and House Valyrian.
He was commanded to go to King's Landing to explain everything in detail.
Otherwise, all his titles and honors, and even his surname, would be stripped.
Rhaenyra finally couldn't sit still this time, and despite Daemon's persuasion, she insisted on riding a dragon to King's Landing.
Queen Alicent and Ser Otto, who had been plotting for so long and finally saw their prey take the bait, naturally treated them with the highest level of attention.
In the Throne Room of the Red Keep, the Hand of the King, Ser Otto, stood before the Iron Throne.
Queen Alicent, with her two sons, and several lords of the Small Council stood below the steps covered with iron swords.
Lords of the Seven Kingdoms, big and small, stood on either side of the hall, waiting quietly.
When Rhaenyra and Daemon appeared, this play, which had been rehearsed countless times, began.
First, Lord Boggs and Nate tearfully recounted Jacaerys's atrocities on the Crab Claw Peninsula.
Then came the numerous physical and human evidence brought back by the cavalry sent by Ser Otto to investigate the scene.
There were drawings of dragon claw prints, old scales left behind by Womax's metamorphosis from his cocoon, farmers who had witnessed the Boggs Family castle being burned by Womax, and so on.
After that, there were even survivors from Tyrosh who described the cruel scenes they had witnessed, such as Jacaerys dissecting civilians alive for fun and eating human hearts raw.
Rhaenyra and Daemon listened quietly from beginning to end, without saying a word.
"Since Jacaerys Valyrian did not comply with the King's command to come to King's Landing.
After hearing the testimony of the witnesses and seeing the numerous pieces of evidence.
Princess Rhaenyra, do you have anything to say on behalf of your eldest son?"
After the preceding acts were finished, Ser Otto, from the Iron Throne, asked Rhaenyra from his elevated position.
Rhaenyra looked around at the many faces in the Throne Room, her final gaze meeting the cold eyes of Alicent.
Then she turned to Ser Otto, stepped forward, and said in a clear voice: "My eldest son, Jacaerys Valyrian, is King of the Narrow Sea and the Stepstones.
Even the King's command can only request him to condescend to come to King's Landing, not a so-called command.
Then there are the so-called Crab Claw Peninsula atrocities.
Human and physical evidence?
Heh heh, when these things happened, my eldest son was always in the Stone Drum Tower.
I, the Crown Princess of the Seven Kingdoms, the Light of the Kingdom, the eldest daughter of Viserys I, Rhaenyra Targaryen, can testify.
Prince Daemon and the thousands of people on Dragonstone can all testify."
"As for the destruction of Tyrosh mentioned at the end...
I won't discuss how pure this survivor's Westerosi accent is, or how false the content he fabricated is for now.
Even if Jacaerys really did it, so what?
Yes, he is a destroyer, but also a conqueror.
In the past hundred years, no king or lord of the Seven Kingdoms has been able to cross the Narrow Sea and conquer a Free City.
Jacaerys did it!
What he is doing now is simply what 'Aegon the Conqueror' once did.
You say his actions are blackening the royal family, that is equivalent to denying 'Aegon the Conqueror'!"
Rhaenyra's words echoed throughout the Throne Room, fully demonstrating her dominance as Crown Princess and as a Targaryen princess.
Unfortunately, it didn't have much effect!
The entire Small Council, except for the Master of Coin Lyman Beesbury (Chapter 21) who supported Rhaenyra.
The rest of the lords, including the Hand of the King, all supported Lord Boggs.
Finally, Ser Otto announced the stripping of all of Jacaerys's titles and honors, as well as the Valyrian surname.
Rhaenyra was naturally not satisfied with this judgment.
She left the Throne Room on the spot and went to the King's chambers in Maegor's Holdfast.
Daemon sneered at the Hand of the King on the Iron Throne, then turned and followed his wife.
With the protagonists gone, the play naturally dispersed.
The lords of the Seven Kingdoms discussed everything that had just happened in groups of three or five.
Ser Otto rose from the Iron Throne and walked to Queen Alicent's side.
He said something unknown, and Queen Alicent's eyes grew colder.
When Rhaenyra and Daemon saw Viserys I in the King's chambers, they were directly shocked by his appearance.
During the assassination at the Red Keep a few months ago, he could still walk independently and preside over that royal family meeting.
But now, the right side of Viserys I's face was completely ulcerated, and he was lying on a goose down bed in a near-comatose state.
If it weren't for the faint moans and constantly rising and falling chest, anyone would think it was a decaying corpse.
"Father, Father! It's Rhaenyra."
Whether Rhaenyra was lucky or if fatherly love was truly like a mountain.
Viserys I, who had taken a large amount of milk of the poppy, actually woke up when he heard the call.
Seeing this, Daemon also came closer with a look of concern.
After a conversation filled with father-daughter affection, Viserys I said in a very weak voice.
He would go to the Throne Room tomorrow to preside over justice for Rhaenyra.
Rhaenyra was overjoyed at the news and immediately cried heartbrokenly in the arms of her beloved father.
Daemon, worried about Viserys I's physical condition, persuaded him for a while and took Rhaenyra, who was reluctant to leave, out of the King's chambers.
Creak!
After Rhaenyra and the two left, a black wardrobe in the corner of the King's chambers slowly opened.
Queen Alicent, with a frosty face, walked out from inside.
This secret passage in the King's chambers was built by Maegor I to ensure he could quickly escape if enemies surrounded him.
When Ser Otto entrusted 'Lame' Larys Strong to thoroughly investigate the Red Keep, he found all these secret passages.
Queen Alicent quietly walked to the side of the goose down bed and softly asked: "They killed our grandson, Maelor.
They took one eye and one ear from our son Aemond.
But you always favor them.
Why? Why are you doing this to me and my children?"
The conversation with Rhaenyra just now had exhausted too much of Viserys I's energy, and he had fallen back into a coma, completely unable to hear his wife's words.
Heh heh!
Feeling the differential treatment, Queen Alicent sneered, and her father's words in the Throne Room echoed in her ears.
"Alicent, we and they are enemies!
If we fail, Aegon, Aemond, Helaena, Jaehaerys, Jaehaera, and the entire House Hightower.
Will all be dissected alive and have their hearts eaten raw like the people of Tyrosh.
Is this what you want to see?
The dosage of milk of the poppy we gave Viserys I is too large, he won't last for many days.
So, cast aside your weakness and strike while the opportunity is perfect!"
Alicent, who was imagining the scenes described by Ser Otto in her mind, felt the hatred in her eyes intensify.
Finally, she drew a dagger from her sleeve.
This dagger was exactly the same as the one Daemon used to stab Helaena.
Thump!
Queen Alicent covered Viserys I's mouth with one hand and plunged the dagger into his chest with the other.
Drip, drip!
Tears dripped from Queen Alicent's face; after all, they had been husband and wife for 21 years, it was impossible to have no feelings at all.
Mmm~~
As if in a final burst of energy, Viserys I let out a muffled groan and finally opened his eyes.
Seeing some terrifying sights before he died, he wanted to speak, but his mouth was tightly covered, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Queen Alicent glanced at Viserys I, who had tears in his eyes, and turned to disappear into the black wardrobe.
Late that night, Queen Alicent and Ser Otto urgently convened the Small Council.
The topic was, Princess Rhaenyra and Prince Daemon committed regicide and kinslaying!
When the Master of Coin Lyman heard this, he immediately stated that it was absolutely impossible.
But Ser Harold Westerling, the captain of the White Knights guarding the door of the King's chambers, testified that,
Before Viserys I's death was discovered, only Rhaenyra and Daemon had entered the King's chambers.
Lyman was about to argue further, but he was directly slit in the throat by Ser Criston Cole, who had quietly walked behind him.
Seeing this, Harold was about to draw his sword and fight Criston, but he seemed to remember something and finally held back.
Soon, the Small Council unanimously passed the King's command to secretly arrest 'regicide' and 'kinslayer' Rhaenyra Targaryen and Daemon Targaryen!
