Chapter 198 - Conspiracy Against a God (VII)
"I don't believe in loyalty and benevolence to control people. Only force can firmly control potential rebels." Queen Rhaenys II of House Targaryen.
--------------
The two armies attacked each other again, this time in daylight, but neither Aenar nor Robert used their full armies in battle. Each wanted to weaken each other's strength at lower cost and save men for the chaos that would ensue after the battle.
These small clashes had been going on for a week and seemed to have no end. Every day, once a day, the infantry of House Baratheon left Harrenhal to face the army of House Targaryen on the battlefield.
Even though Aenar wasn't afraid of losing soldiers, he still wanted to preserve his forces for the confrontation with the Night King. Losing too many soldiers was completely unacceptable to him, especially considering that it had taken this army almost ten years to reach its current level.
(Note: Although he had previously founded the Red Faith).
"Damn seven days of war in a row." Visenya sat tiredly in her chair. Her armor had a few bloodstains on it, but there wasn't even a scratch, showing that the enemies hadn't even managed to hit her armor.
After undergoing the Blood Ritual, Visenya felt her strength increasing with each passing day. The first day was more noticeable, but as time passed, this feeling of growing strength became less, although she could still feel that her strength was still increasing.
In terms of height, Visenya was proud to say that she had managed to grow about ten centimeters in seven days!!!
Although her clothes and armor had to be changed because of her increased height, she didn't mind. As queen, clothes and food were the least she needed. Visenya could still remember the shocked expressions of the Sand Snakes after noticing her growth.
Visenya also discovered that Rhaenys had a similar growth rate, but she wasn't surprised to think that they both went through the Blood Ritual at the same time. However, another thing that made her happy was her powers.
