I guess then that he wanted to prepare, but the powers behind the throne disagreed because CLEARLY they are no threat, and doing so would negatively impact the big families...
Well... kinda...
Lets just say that, like Caeser, he was trying to prevent a mutiny of his army (who had rightfully deserved a pension and payment by the by), wanted the Senate to give the payments that were promised, but the Senate refused...
All the while, he was on his last days of being a dictator legally.
You can see where this is going
Roman RepublicValyrian Freehold Politics! Where the reasonable People are tossed aside and the Morons hailed as Geniuses until it's almost too late!
By the Fourteen Flames, I just hope there won't be a Varro showing up to pull a Cannae...
It's more likely then you think...
If only because idiots, ideolouges and old men are running the show...
And again, they don't take this seriously.
Yeah...well life is like that, and its far too often...that people forget that fact...its a trope as old as time.
Knowing our luck...its going to happen and we are going to have to clean it up.
Or just use the chaos to our advantage.
How well do Harpies fare when compared to Dragons anyways?
Dragons can breath fire, and can fly long distances, and eat pretty much anything meat-related, and are pretty autonomous when it comes to supply gathering because they can get their own. and their scales are pretty much durable to anything except for specical weapons or from a beast with the stregnth of... well dragons
While Harpies are more human-like, can use tools, armor, and weapons made for them, and be trained with them, given enough time. Unfortunately, they need to eat... a lot and that food need to be prepared because raw food makes them ill and less effective.
They are also pretty smart as well.
But no general in the Ghis has thought about using them as Dragon killers, they've been used as army killers first and foremost.
