  Chapter 121 "The Greatest Emperor in the World"

"No matter how old the dragons are, they will grow up sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. We have to prepare early."

Varys' words made everyone silent. Dragons will grow up sooner or later. Varys was right. They must prepare early.

The Lannisters and Targaryens are mortal enemies.

The Wolf family rebelled because King Aerys II burned the head and heir of House Stark to death.

Rhaegar, the heir of King Aerys II, abducted Lyanna Stark, so the Deer Family had reason to rebel.

Only the sudden attack from the Westerlands came without any warning, and even Jaime Lannister, a member of the King's Guard, killed the king he swore to protect.

The Mountain raped and killed Elia Martell, and even his two children fell victim to his murderous hands.

It was also because of this that the Martell family broke with the Lannister family.

In addition, the one sitting on the throne now is Baratheon, and he also has the support of Lannister, which can be said to be the complete stacking of hatred buffs.

Tywin silently observed the expressions of the crowd. He knew very well that these people were not loyal subjects, especially those with gloomy minds like Varys and Petyr.

After a moment, Tywin spoke, and he first gave everyone a shot of cardiac stimulant.

"Baby dragons are not to be feared. We still have time to prepare. Besides, dragons alone cannot rule the Seven Kingdoms. There have been dragons that have been killed in history."

"Daenerys Targaryen only has 30,000 troops and not enough ships. She doesn't have the strength to land in Westeros on her own. She needs allies."

Tywin continued, "It is very likely that Dorne has formed an alliance with the Targaryens, but we do not have the evidence to attack, which requires Highgarden to strengthen its defenses at the border."

"Secondly, gather the scholars together to study ways to deal with dragons. Dragons are also living creatures, and no matter how powerful they are, they have weaknesses."

"As for Myrcella who was taken away, I will discuss with Olenna and send several warships to search for that huge ship."

Today, the Iron Throne has no navy at all. The navy that Robert spent millions of gold dragons to build was also destroyed by Stannis.

Today, the only naval forces left in Westeros are the Arbor and the Iron Islands, and both have extraordinary navies.

But the navy of the Arbor is a little stronger, because the Iron Fleet of the Iron Islands suffered heavy losses and has yet to recover.

The Qingting Island is also one of the overseas naval bases chosen by Jack in Westeros.

The Arbor is the southwesternmost island in Westeros, ruled by House Redwyne.

It is considered part of the Reach, separated from the landmass of the Reach by the Redwyne Strait.

The Redwyne Fleet, the largest fleet of the Seven Kingdoms, defends the Arbor.

The Arbor is one of the richest areas in all of Westeros.

The wine of the Arbor is the finest in Westeros.

The red wines produced here are extraordinary.

Qingting Island also produces golden wine.

The wine of the Arbor is sweeter than that of Dorne.

The pears produced on Qingting Island are big and sweet.

Merchants from the Arbor often sail to Qarth.

It can be said to be a very good place. When Dany attacked Westeros, he asked Dany to personally order the cession of the island to Atlantis.

In addition to the Qingting Island, there are the Shield Islands, the Iron Islands, the Three Sisters Islands, Pebble Island, Crab Island, Tas Island, etc.

Jack wants to control all these overseas islands. Even if Daenerys disagrees, it will be useless because Jack will make her agree.

The feudal system in Westeros has lasted too long, and Jack does not want to interfere in the political power of Westeros for the time being.

But Jack will not give up his surveillance and suppression of Westeros.

According to Jack's long-term plan, he must first strengthen Atlantis' influence in the world.

Then colonize the major trading city-states of Essos.

Finally, Jack is considering what to do with the two continents of Westeros and Essos.

Because the combined area of ​​the two continents is too large.

Without sufficient talented people, it was too unrealistic to incorporate the two continents into the territory of Atlantis.

According to Jack's estimation, it would take at least fifty years to build an empire spanning two continental plates.

Then it will take a long time for the empire to stabilize.

It was too long ago, too long for Jack to even think about it.

After the royal meeting ended, all the scholars in King's Landing were summoned together. They needed to work together to study ways to deal with the dragon.

Among them, Maester Qyburn, who had healed James's severed hand, proposed the idea of ​​the dragon-shooting crossbow. He had seen similar descriptions in ancient books.

It is a dragon-shooting crossbow developed by the Valyrians. According to legend, there is magic on the steel sword of the dragon-shooting crossbow, which can kill a dragon with one blow.

God knows why the Valyrians would research crossbows to kill dragons.

Perhaps it was because the power of the Valyrians had reached its peak at that time.

They no longer care about anything in the world.

That's why I had nothing better to do than to research the dragon-shooting crossbow.

But this undoubtedly gave great inspiration to the scholars in King's Landing, and they began to study the crossbow in the direction of dragon shooting crossbow.

At the same time, Tywin asked the Citadel to send some information about dragons in the name of the king.

After this, Joffrey also learned the news. Although he was a little worried about the dragon, he felt more angry.

His grandfather Tywin did not inform him of such a big thing, but instead convened a royal meeting in the Tower of the Prime Minister.

Ever since that day when he lost his temper in front of Tywin, scolded Tywin and emphasized that he was the king, he could feel that the ministers were becoming more alienated from him.

Joffrey is cruel and brainless, but in some matters, especially when it comes to his own power, he still has some brains.

For example, now, on the surface, he is sitting on the Iron Throne and giving orders.

But the person who actually holds this position is actually his grandfather Tywin Lannister.

All his ministers obeyed Tywin's orders, followed by his mother, and finally him.

This made him feel ignored, like a mascot.

An uncontrollable feeling of humiliation burst out from the bottom of his heart and quickly consumed his insides.

Joffrey became more and more angry and summoned Tywin directly to the throne room.

Somewhat confused, Tywin came to the throne room with his guards.

"Your Majesty." Tywin bowed slightly.

"Grandfather," Joffrey said back.

"I heard you had something to talk to me about?" Tywin stared at Joffrey.

His look frightened Joffrey, but he said, "I want to hear a report on my council."

Joffrey's meaning is obvious, he is blaming Tywin for not informing him of the king's meeting.

If it were a king with real power, the prime minister would definitely be a little scared.

But therein lies the problem, Joffrey is a king without real power, and the Prime Minister is Tywin Lannister, the most powerful man in the Seven Kingdoms.
