Chapter 207: Site Selection

The war really started ahead of time. This was the unanimous thought of both of them.

Looking around while riding on his horse, Jaime discovered that not only was there a large army in the direction of Harrenhal in the north, but a large number of troops were also gathering from King's Landing and the east and west, surrounding his own army.

Only then did Jaime understand why they had passed the Twins so smoothly. It gave him a strange feeling that the siege of his army must have begun at that time.

Da Ma circled around the army and found himself surrounded, with almost no chance of breaking out.

What on earth was King's Landing doing? Why would Daenerys spare so many soldiers to surround herself a hundred miles away from King's Landing? Jaime was extremely puzzled.

Five minutes later, the two groups gradually stopped making noise and maintained a safe distance.

A short man with a scar on his face and a beard slowly walked out from the southern army.

Seeing Tyrion coming out of the army, Jaime rode to meet him.

"I haven't returned to King's Landing yet, why are you..." Jaime was about to question Tyrion, but when he saw his expression, he suddenly couldn't ask any more.

"Cersei... unilaterally broke the armistice agreement, and now King's Landing is in the hands of Queen Daenerys."

"Where's Cersei? How is she?"

When Jaime knew that they were surrounded, he had already guessed that King's Landing was in danger. He was not too surprised by Tyrion's words. He was only concerned about Cersei's safety now.

"She...she drank the poison." Tyrion knew Jaime's feelings for Cersei, and said after a moment of hesitation.

His body swayed twice and James almost fell off the horse.

"What's going on?" With red eyes, Jaime jumped off his horse, walked up to Tyrion and asked.

"The High Sparrow finds Cersei..."

Listening to Tyrion's story, Jaime realized that so many things had happened while he was still trekking through the Neck. They unilaterally tore up the agreement and took the initiative to attack the army on Dragonstone. No wonder Cersei took the poison without even waiting for herself.

After digesting the new information, Jaime saw Tyrion observing the nearly 20,000 soldiers behind him and knew what he meant.

King's Landing has changed its master, and Highgarden and Casterly Rock have probably followed in the footsteps of King's Landing. There is no need for his isolated army to persist any longer, and he naturally will not let them die.

Turning around and walking back to the army, Jaime shouted, "King's Landing has fallen. I order everyone to lay down their weapons and surrender!" After that, Jaime was the first to throw away the sword in his hand.

The besieged generals and soldiers also felt something unusual about being surrounded, but they never expected that their homes would be raided just after they came back from fighting the White Walkers!

But didn't King's Landing sign a truce with the Dragon Queen? Why did the fight start so soon?

He looked around at his companions blankly, and stood there for a while without reacting to what Jaime said.

James had to repeat what he had just said.

Looking at the soldiers around him laying down their weapons one after another, Little Flayed Rammus found it difficult to accept the surrender.

He was forced to leave the clan castle and go to King's Landing, but he was captured before he even arrived, making all his efforts in vain.

Gritting his teeth in hatred, Ramsay had no choice but to follow the army and throw away his weapons.

These 20,000 prisoners were not treated rudely, after all, they had fought alongside the Dragonstone army.

The captives were slowly brought back, and from then on there was no major opposition to Daenerys in Westeros.

The Red Castle announced that Daenerys's official coronation ceremony would be held in ten days.

After the coronation date was officially confirmed, Varys spread the news, allowing those lords and nobles who were still hesitant or even had other ideas to make the decision to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise they would not be blamed for being rude.

When the Red Keep was preparing for the coronation ceremony, the academy was also included in the plan.

The school in Slaver's Bay declined significantly after Tyrion and other department heads left.

Daenerys was too busy trying to seize the Iron Throne to pay much attention there.

Now that things have finally settled down, of course we have to reorganize the school, and we must also establish the largest school on West Road. However, the problem of the location of the school has stumped everyone present.

Of course, it would be best to locate the capital in King's Landing. However, although King's Landing is large, its population is also not small, reaching one million, making it one of the most crowded cities in the world.

If you want to establish a school here, you must occupy a large area to reflect the scale of the school, but Junlin simply cannot spare such a large place.

The Red Keep is the royal castle and the political center of King's Landing. It is obviously not suitable for building an academy, and there is not enough space.

[The Great Sept of Baelor would be a good place to study!] Just when everyone was at a loss, Drogon suddenly said to Daenerys.

The Great Sept of Baelor? Daenerys was stunned when she heard Drogon's suggestion.

But that was where the Church of the Seven was, how could it be a place to build a school?

Then she remembered what Varys had told her about why Cersei tore up the truce, and vaguely understood what Drogon had said during the battle outside Dragonstone - that battle was all because of him.

When she heard Varys's detailed account, she felt both scared and relieved.

Varys was completely certain that all the miracles shown by the Seven Gods in King's Landing were true, including the oracle that instructed other gods to deal with Drogon and his fleet.

In that battle, Daenerys saw an octopus monster that was not much smaller than Drogon and was almost as powerful as Drogon.

There were other groups of sea monsters, weapons enchanted with fire, and the King's Landing fleet's extraordinarily brave soldiers.

All these show that the ambush was unusual.

Only after meeting Varys did she truly understand what kind of attack her fleet had encountered.

Ever since she met the immortals, Daenerys has been very wary of mysterious and strange events.

Although she called herself the Mother of Dragons and a descendant of the Targaryen Dragon King, she knew in her heart that she was ultimately just a mortal and was powerless against those priests, wizards, and sorcerers with strange methods.

When she went to the Dothraki Sea with Drogon, she saw that the Dothraki people revered Drogon as a dragon god. At that time, she just thought that the Dothraki people admired the strong and admired the huge Drogon very much, so they called him that.

As for whether Drogon is a dragon god, as the person who hatched the dragon eggs, he knows better than anyone else. However, all this changed after he learned that the gods had really launched an attack.

Thinking of the series of events that started from hearing drogon's voice in the red wasteland.

Drogon's ability to foresee the future, a body several times stronger than those of Rhaego and Viserion, the ability to change size, and the transformation into the four-legged dragon in the Fourteen Fire Peaks mural.

All these show the extraordinary qualities of Drogon and other dragons.

She didn't know how powerful the gods were, but Drogon had single-handedly subdued a giant octopus and defeated the joint attack of the gods. Even if he was not a god now, he was already almost as powerful as a god.

Regardless of whether Drogon becomes a god or not, he is still her dragon. Daenerys only needs to know that it is enough for Drogon to be good to her and she doesn't need to worry about anything else.
