Game of Thrones: The Drogon Voice

The next day, Aquaman and Albert came to Daenerys' fleet as promised and formally surrendered.

Of the ten million gold royals, two million will be advanced first, and the remainder will be delivered to King's Landing within a month.

In addition to the 10 million gold dragons, as a vassal city, Braavos also has to pay tribute to King's Landing every year.

On the night the golden dragon was delivered, Drogon had a good sleep among the pile of gold coins and satisfied his desire.

After arranging matters in Braavos, Daenerys asked Jorah to lead the fleet slowly towards Pentos, while she rode Drogon to find the fleet led by Yara first.

Two hours later, when they were about to arrive at Pentos, Daenerys and Drogon saw the dense fleet on the sea off Pentos.

Judging from the number and arrangement, in addition to their own fleet, there is also a fleet of more than 200 warships confronting Yara.

After landing on the warship where Yara was, Daenerys asked and found out that the opposing fleet not only contained warships from Pentos, but also warships from other trading city-states except Braavos. They were all present and ready to fight against Yara sent by Daenerys.

Before Yara reached Pentos, she was stopped by a new coalition of eight cities.

She followed Daenerys's instructions and did not launch an attack immediately, but instead tried to persuade the people to surrender, just like she did with Braavos.

But the reply she got was to give them three days to consider. When she saw Daenerys coming, Yara understood why the eight cities asked for a three-day deadline. They must be waiting for news from Braavos.

Guessing the intentions of the leaders of the eight cities, Daenerys sent someone directly to convey a message to the other side, saying that Braavos had surrendered to her, and asked the leaders of the eight cities to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise she would lead her army to defeat their coalition forces and then attack their cities.

After receiving Daenerys' letter of surrender, the coalition of eight cities did not respond immediately. It was not until half a day later that they collectively replied, expressing their willingness to become a vassal city like Braavos.

Seeing the responses from several cities, Daenerys smiled coldly. They all wanted to learn from Braavos, but unfortunately they couldn't.

So an ultimatum was issued to the coalition fleet, saying that if they only wanted to become a vassal city, they had to pay 10 million gold dragons, otherwise the eight cities would be completely under Daenerys' rule.

Give them half a day to consider. If they don't respond or agree to the surrender terms within half a day, Daenerys's fleet will launch an attack.

After receiving the ultimatum, the leaders of the eight cities immediately fell into chaos.

Not to mention 10 million gold dragons, even Volantis, whose strength and wealth were second only to Braavos, couldn't even come up with 5 million gold dragons.

By comparing them to Braavos, Daenerys is essentially forcing them to completely transform into the Free Cities of the Valyrian Freehold era, and become completely Daenerys' territory.

They also wanted to resist, but when they saw the black dragon's figure covering the sky and the sun when it carried Daenerys back, and thought about the mighty battle with the black dragon outside Dragonstone, they felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.

As the deadline approached, there was still no response from the opposing coalition forces. Just as Daenerys was preparing the fleet for an attack, she suddenly saw two small boats coming towards her fleet.

The coalition forces used Volantis' new Tiger Party governor Fitch as chief representative to discuss the specific details of surrender with Daenerys.

Since none of them can come up with 10 million gold dragons, the only option is to give the city they are in to Daenerys.

Daenerys will also calculate the amount of compensation they should pay based on the previous military deployments of the coalition forces.

The leaders of the Eight Cities Coalition are now like lambs to be slaughtered, waiting to be killed.

Daenerys did not see the Volantis Elephant and Tiger Archons who had greeted her among the representatives from various cities. After asking, she learned that two of them were imprisoned by Fitch, who suddenly launched a coup, and one died in the coup.

Governor Illyrio of Pentos was also imprisoned by other governors who launched a sudden attack.

Daenerys was relieved to learn that Illyrio was not dead.

After Daenerys discussed with her subordinates and bargained with the leaders of the eight cities, they finally paid a total of 8 million gold royals as war reparations, and all their free trade cities came under the jurisdiction of Daenerys.

At this point, almost all of the nine free trade city-states have been recovered.

When the news that the army had recaptured the nine free trade cities without losing a single soldier reached King's Landing, the whole country was excited.

Some even suggested that Daenerys change from king to emperor, emulating the former Eastern Empire of the Dawn.

Because the land Daenerys now rules over far exceeds that of an ordinary king, it is no exaggeration to call it an empire.

After Daenerys returned from the expedition, the calls for her to change her name to emperor grew louder and louder. Daenerys declined three times, but could not resist the enthusiastic support of her ministers and changed her name from queen to empress. The name of the empire was named after the black dragon Drogon, and from then on it was called the Black Dragon Empire.

After officially becoming emperor, Daenerys issued a series of orders.

In addition to expanding the King's Road and rebuilding the sewers of King's Landing, Daenerys also ordered the abolition of the brilliant coins used in Qarth and Dothraki, and replaced them with gold dragons. The old brilliant coins can be exchanged for gold dragons in Slaver's Bay, Volantis and King's Landing.

Several measures were issued to encourage farming and maritime trade, making it easier for Westeros to trade with the nine free trade cities, Slaver's Bay, and New and Old Ghis.

Finally, Daenerys announced that the Westeros Academy will be officially established in Visenya Hills in ten days, and all qualified people from all over the world are welcome to join.

Daenerys secretly issued an order from the Queen, removing Jon from his position as commander of the Night's Watch and his status as a member of the Night's Watch, and immediately returned to King's Landing after he re-elected a commander of the Night's Watch.

A day later, at the Wall, Jon asked the steward to read out the Queen's order in front of his subordinates' surprised gazes, took off his black clothes, and was succeeded by his good brother Pyp as the commander of the Night's Watch.

In Winterfell, Bran told his mother, Robb and Sansa Jon's true identity. They didn't expect that Jon was the son of Lyanna and Rhaegar.

Almost at the same time they received the news that a school was going to be established in King's Landing.

After hearing the news, Sansa resolutely decided to go south and join the school in King's Landing. After Catelyn failed to dissuade her daughter, she could only let her leave her again.

Just as Sansa was about to leave, Jon brought Ygritte to Winterfell.

Catelyn and Robb accepted Jon again because of his new identity, and Catelyn even apologized for her previous attitude towards Jon.

Not only did she wrongly blame her loyal husband Eddard, but she also always treated the innocent Jon coldly. Now that she knew Jon's true identity, she was filled with regret.

They also learned from Jon that Daenerys had removed him from his position as a Night's Watchman and had him settle on Dragonstone in the future. They were all confused by Daenerys's arrangement and began to speculate about Jon's future fate.

With Jon joining Sansa on her journey south, Catelyn felt more at ease and only sent fifty guards to accompany her.
