Aro had a smile and proudly began to explain about the new military might of House Targaryen.
"There are about 10,000 Spartans. The Spartan army is a very formidable group of soldiers. Boys at the age of seven would attend the training camp to prepare to one day be a Spartan soldier and defeat their future enemies in battle. They are trained to fight multiple enemies at once, thus giving them a chance of victory even when heavily outnumbered."
Ellia was stunned.
"Did all 10,000 start their training at such a young age!"
Aro smiled
"Yes, your grace."
"They must be a force to reckon with."
Ser Arthur commented that all people agreed to this.
Aro nodded at that.
"Yes, they are.Then there are about 30,000 sardaukar.Sardaukar are brutal and will show no mercy to their enemies.
They focus on strength. Before going to battle, they offer sacrifice, preferably of their enemy if captured. They call themselves the blade's of house Targaryen. Most of them would start training at their 8th name day."
Aro raised his voice
"Then there are Atreides with their discipline. Atreides is an exceptionally well trained and doggedly loyal army, with troops that are expensive but tough. They are symbols of courage, loyalty and determination .There are 40,000 of them.They are both skilled and are used to fight in various war formation. They might give a tough competition to unsullied in terms of discipline. Atreides call themselves swords of house Targaryen ."
Ser Oswell Whent was awestruck by the numbers and the strength of these armies.
"So we have about 80,000 men "
Aro merely laughed at that
"No, Ser there are more."
All the people in room except volturi and priestess were stunned and said together in high tone.
" There are more !!"
Aro shrugged his shoulders
" Well a lot more"
All the people in the cabin become excited especially the kingsguard's who were eager for revenge. Aro started speaking again.
" There are about 18 legions of Roman army. Each legions consists of about 6000 men so about 108,000 men.They are like your normal army but more trained and members are known as legionary . They preferred age of a legionary recruit is 14-yrs old. They considered this to be the perfect age for a boy to grow into a soldier as he had no bad habits yet and are young enough to be trained and and easily learn Roman discipline . "
All the people sat on their respective seats and had a satisfied looked on their face as they knew the injustice during the rebellion will be paid.
Aro noticed it but and was quiet proud about mentioning his Prince army.
" Then there are about 1000 ships and 600 more are being constructed and we have 30,000 experienced sailors who are also trained warriors known as marine's"
Elia was the most eager to know about the dragon's and wanted the Lannister and the mountain be burned by the dragon flames.
She inquired with palpable excitement.
"How many dragon's are there?"
Aro said with a serious face .
" Your Grace There are 14 dragon's along with 3 eggs, excluding the two we brought here, and 8 will become adults in almost 10 year's but there is one more who would be adults in 13 year's . She is the dragon of late princess Rhaenyra. The other 3 would be hatched soon and will be big enough to ride when we start the conquest, but I would advise not to use them as they are still young . Young dragon's are the easy target for the Scorpions . Even though scorpion's have one in a hundred thousand chances to just hit the dragon, not to mention the eye, a dragon is a precious partner.We can't risk them."
Aro started explaining what the size of dragon's could be at the beginning of conquest.
" There would be two dragon size of balerion had at his peak . Two would be the size of vhagar and one more would reach the size of vermithor had at the time of their death and one size of silverwing . While the rest three would be as big as caraxes."
There was nothing but shock on the face of all the people and fear in their heart . Aegon the conqueror only needs three dragons to set fear in the hearts of Nobel's of Westeros, not to mention the number of dragons has almost reached the time when House Targaryen was at its peak . They all knew that a new era is about to start.
Ser Arthur got up and said in an exciting tone .
" All that is left is to wait and the usurper and his friends will pay for there crime's "
