Chapter 540
In this battle, the Dorne army encountered the rebellion of Titus Peake, the Earl of Star Shuttle City, and the city gate was opened, resulting in heavy losses and almost annihilation of the entire army.
This naturally requires someone to take the blame and bear the wrath of the Dornish army.
But now that Titus Peake was pushed off the city wall and fell to his death in the battle to rescue his wife, naturally he could no longer be held accountable.
As representatives of the Targaryen army, the three brothers Leswell Peake, Taurman Peake and Pikewood Peake of the Golden Company became the targets of hostility of the Dorne army.
In the name of Viserys' hatred of the Lannisters, they deceived Margot Lannister, the wife of the Earl of Star Shuttle City, and locked her in her room to sing every night, which angered her husband Titus. ·Peke, which led to the rebellion of the Earl of Star Shuttle City.
Therefore, the Dornish army naturally vented its anger on the three of Leswell Peake.
But these three people are very special. They are representatives of the Targaryen army from the Golden Company.
Naturally, the Dornishmen did not have the guts to operate on these three without the permission of House Targaryen.
Therefore, Viserys happened to come to Star Shuttle City, so the Dornish army came to the king to file a 'Imperial Order', hoping that His Majesty the King could enforce the law impartially and punish the criminals who caused major war crimes.
The Dornishmen came to the Iron Throne to sue the 'Imperial'?
This was the first time Viserys had heard that they usually punish criminals on their own initiative. When did they cross the Iron Throne?
The Dothraki, who seemed more savage than them, frightened them.
However, Viserys did not appease the officers on his side after hearing the cause and effect.
After all, there are all kinds of forests with big birds, and Viserys certainly cannot guarantee that all the people in his army will be without problems.
What's more, they also robbed a noble lady in their own name, how can this be tolerated?
Solve the problem as soon as it is discovered, and Viserys interrogates the three of Leswell Peake, who confessed to the rape of Lady Margot Lannister.
However, they shouted grievances and did not believe that their actions caused Titus Peak to rebel.
But in the end, after witnesses including Mrs. Margaux Lannister and the servants of Star Shuttle City, Viserys sentenced the three to death and sent them to the gallows to be hanged.
And the small matter of the Dornish people's protest to the king is over, and the next is the ruling on the Tyrell family.
After Viserys flew to Star Shuttle City, he already knew that Velas was captured alive, Duke Mace Tyrell and his youngest son Loras had been executed, and the second son of the Tyrell family, Garland, died in battle.
His impression of this Duke Mace Tyrell was not very deep, and he did not have many roles. Knowing that he has a beautiful little daughter, for Viserys, he is not very capable. Strong, even a little mediocre Duke.
And that future Knight of Hundred Flowers 'Xiang Xiaoyu Died' made Viserys feel a little emotional.
Fate is impermanent.
He didn't seem to have met Renly yet, so he didn't know what he liked. He hoped that the two of them could meet when they went underground.
Then, with the sound of heavy chains, the only captured captive of the Tyrell family, Vilas Tyrell, was escorted up.
One of his feet was disabled for life in a fight with Oberyn, and he has since become 'Cripple' Vilas.
The Tyrell family and the Martell family also had a bad relationship, and Oberyn was indeed a full-fledged 'disturbing spirit' when he was young.
But Velas never seemed to blame Oberyn. After all, it was indeed his own incompetence. He fell off his horse and broke his leg, and the two still exchange letters.
"His Majesty."
Velas' hands and feet were shackled, his hair was disheveled, and he looked a little embarrassed, but his eyes were still full of energy, and his mental state was much better than yesterday.
Yesterday, Vilas witnessed his father and two younger brothers being killed and his emotions almost collapsed, and he even wanted to commit suicide, but in the end he persuaded himself to survive, everything was for the continuation of the Tyrell family.
And Viserys frowned slightly when he saw the disheveled, lame, and shackled heir of High Court in front of him.
"Open his shackles."
"He's already like this, are you still afraid of him running away?"
A crippled man with a crippled leg, unable to walk without a cane, and in heavy shackles, Viserys felt that he was going too far.

Then the two Dorne soldiers who were escorting Velas untied the heavy chains for him.
And pushed a chair for him to sit down, Vilas was relieved when he sat on the chair.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
These shackles really made him, a physically disabled person, suffer a lot.
Then the unkempt heir of High Court looked at Viserys with bright eyes and said.
"Actually... Oberyn persuaded me through letters a long time ago, leading the Tyrell family to surrender to the Iron Throne."
"Your Majesty has the orthodox right of succession to the Iron Throne, supported by nobles, and loved by the people."
"And with the support of dragons, the Golden Company, and the Dothraki."
"No one can withstand the attack of the Targaryen army, no one."
Velas didn't even blink when he spoke of the support of the nobles.
Viserys can be said to have almost no support from any nobles except Dorne, all of which are played bit by bit.
And his words mentioned the murderer of his father and two younger brothers, and Velas's expression remained unchanged.
"Oh?"
"Then why didn't you lead the Tyrell family to submit to the orthodoxy of the Iron Throne?"
Viserys sat on the main seat of Star Shuttle City and looked down at the heir to Highgarden, the prisoner who was now behind bars.
The other party had just witnessed the killing of his father and younger brother, and he was able to cheer up and talk freely today, which really made him a little impressed.
Mace Tyrell had a good son.
"Because of profit, Your Majesty."
And Vilas heard Viserys' question and answered without hesitation.
"Oberron and I have discussed in our correspondence what His Majesty wants to do in the future."
"I personally agree with His Majesty's actions. The unity of the country and the concentration of power in the king can avoid the outbreak of civil war to the greatest extent."
"But I'm the eldest son of Mace Tyrell, the eldest grandson of Olena Redwyn the 'Queen of Thorns' and I can't just speak for myself."
"What Your Majesty has done harms the interests of all nobles."
In fact, the friendship between Oberon and Vilas can be traced back to the school city period. The two teenagers studied together in the school city, which is regarded as a classmate relationship.
Oberyn won six maester links, while Velas, the eldest son, was equally good at learning, but was unable to obtain maester links.
Because becoming a maester requires giving up his surname, and the Tyrell family would not allow the eldest son in the family to become a maester, Velas once hated his identity.
However, when Vilas grew up, he had calmed down this emotion and understood what he should do.
"what about now?"
"What would you choose?"
Viserys looked at the Highgarden heir with interest.
"I am willing to persuade my grandmother to surrender and surrender the wealth of High Court and the Tyrell family completely in exchange for the continuation of the family."
Velas said seriously.
