Game of Thrones: I'm flying a dragon on your face, how do you respond? - Chapter 85
c85 Fortelleland City
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. It is said that the horse king and Khaleesi never shy away from their subordinates’ prying.
But Jaehaerys and his men are not barbarians after all. They just found a few secluded places in the wild. On the nights with bright moon and sparse stars, they studied the road of life with their newlywed wives and sowed the seeds of love and peace.
Above the head is the starry sky, below is the soft grass… leaning on it, it seems to return to the embrace of the earth.
Jaehaerys turned into a naughty boy, graffiti in this soft and tender land, and splashed different colors in this endless green land, purple grapes and red peaches.
“Is it time to go to war?” Rhaenys asked softly.
“Well” Jaehaerys buried his face in her slender neck and hair, and ordinary people did not feel anything unusual.
But the high-level officials of Dragonstone Island knew that the Targaryen family was ready to send troops at any time!
Ten years of sharpening a sword, where is the sword pointing? It is not surprising whether it is east or west.
“Let me lead the troops too!” Rhaenys’s eyes flashed coldly, filled with deep hatred.
She has studied hard over the years, and her swordsmanship, horsemanship, spear, and bow and arrow are all far superior to Viserys. She can be said to be the strongest person in the Targaryen family after Jaehaerys.
Queen Rhaella asked her to learn needlework, but she asked if needlework could allow her to avenge her enemies. The nuns shook their heads, so she swept them all to the ground and said frankly that she would rather be a female warrior like Visenya or Nymeria.
Although she did not witness the death of her father and mother with her own eyes, she dreamed of their death scenes countless times in her dreams!
Robert’s huge hammer embedded in Rhaegar’s chest, blood and the ruby on his chest flew everywhere, and the wild wolves rushed to tear his body apart and eat it…
The mother was lying on the bed, and a huge black shadow crushed her glory and body… Then smashed her head alive…
Compared to Rhaenys, Jaehaerys has never been a real Targaryen. He has no feelings for Aerys II, and he has never thought of avenging his “father” with his own hands after becoming powerful…
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed, and gently stroked his wife’s back and hair.
Her hair was silver-gold, soft and tough, with the smell of grass and sweat.
“Good!” Jaehaerys thought about it. He knew Rhaenys’s skills. In terms of skills, she was impeccable.
The only shortcoming was strength. Women’s strength can never be compared with men. Even at the same weight, men’s strength and explosive power are far superior to women.
He didn’t want his woman to become a King Kong Barbie, nor did he want to hinder her from taking revenge personally.
“Promise me, it’s not shameful to pray to the Dragon God when facing an invincible opponent!” Jaehaerys said, staring into her eyes.
“Well, don’t worry, my husband… Oh! But your spear is doing bad things again…” Rhaenys smiled foolishly, turning into a weird and wild little wild horse, or a little female dragon?
After the two of them were intimate for a long time, they packed up and returned to the barracks.
The city of Foltelland is also undergoing large-scale construction. There is no defense here. If you want to build a source of soldiers and horses for Dragonstone, you must build a city. This is a strategy that was set long ago.
On the top of a small hill, a stone castle and a large wall are rising slowly, and the moat is a natural river channel that has been improved…
In terms of city construction, Jaehaerys believes that the experienced stonemasons of Dragonstone have more say. He only needs to put forward the requirements, and naturally someone will improve it.
According to the construction plan, Fortelland City can accommodate up to 100,000 residents, divided into the inner city and the outer city. The inner city is the main project of the castle, and the outer city is surrounded by a large area of city walls.
The city wall is not made of stone, but brick and earth walls. In this way, it can be quickly formed through layer-by-layer ramming. The disadvantage is also obvious. There is no way to form a three-dimensional protection system for the inner and outer city walls. It can only be compensated by building horse-faced walls and urn cities.
Residential areas, commercial areas, dragon temples and other areas are set up in the outer city. Several wide urban roads connect the various functional areas of the city. The inner city is in the middle. The huge barns and cellars can ensure the grain storage of 100,000 soldiers and civilians for 3 months…
At the same time, the inner city will also become the residence of the Governor of Fortelland. The position of Governor is not uncommon for people in Westeros. As early as the time of Aegon the Conqueror, the Governor of the Trident River was established, which is an honorary title.
In Fortelland, the governor is a temporary official, but he holds the military and political power of a place, and is far away from the Dragonstone Island. He deserves the title of a frontier official.
After much consideration, Queen Rhaella decided that the governor’s power was so great that he must ensure his loyalty, otherwise he would become a serious problem after he became too powerful.
After repeated consideration, Sir William Darry was appointed as the first Governor of Fortelland. The old Sir was the second son of the Darry family, and he had no heirs in his life. In addition, he was old and loyal to Targaryen. Who should he abandon?
At the same time, in terms of titles, the original lord system was reformed. On the continent of Westeros, there are only two types of nobles: lords and knights. Titles including dukes, marquises, and earls are all lords. It is just a translation for easy understanding to distinguish their strength, whether there are subordinate lords loyal to them, etc.
Queen Layla, based on Jaehaerys’s suggestion, further divided the lord’s title into five levels: duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron. Of course, these were only honorary titles, linked to treatment, but no fiefdom would be granted.
Dragonstone will not divide the newly expanded land now, which has been unanimously agreed by the Royal Conference. Although some lords are envious of the richness of the newly expanded land, they already have fiefs. In addition, the queen has promised many royal industry shares, so the attractiveness of land has actually been greatly reduced.
Those who really want land are the grassroots non-commissioned officers who have become new nobles by virtue of military merit. They are allowed to buy land with military merit, but the land they buy still belongs to the royal family. In fact, they buy the right to use the land. The term of this right of use is determined by the code issued by the kingdom, and transfers and transactions need to be strictly approved.
In the process of building the city, Hela played a huge role…
It’s not a coolie who moves bricks. To be precise, it’s almost the same.
It can heat the stone in a moment with a mouthful of dragon flame, and then the stonemasons will take the time to pour cold water and dismember the big stones using the principle of thermal expansion and contraction.
It can also quickly turn the adobe in the sealed brick kiln into red bricks…
Hela felt wronged. I am a great dragon, but I have become a flamethrower…
But there is no way. I can’t beat my master. Thinking back to the days on Dragon Mountain… Oh, it’s all tears!
For Jaehaerys, no means of production can be wasted. Everyone can become a gear to drive the huge factory on Dragonstone Island. Besides, this is also a kind of training for Hela!
You see, the temperature of Hela’s dragon flame used to be as high as 1500 degrees Celsius. Now the temperature of the golden flame has doubled. It is no problem to melt gold and forge iron.
