Chapter 11 War begins
After the air raid on Grey Gallows Island, the Kingdom of Dorne sent a total of three fleets to transport supplies in the next half month.
But Earl Collis arranged his fleet like an impenetrable fishing net, firmly blocking the supply route.
Whether it is day or night, once a Dornish supply fleet is discovered, a message will be immediately sent to Mysterious Island using specially raised ravens.
With the dragon's flying speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour, it soon flew over the sea area.
Use the scorching dragon flame to inflict fatal blows on supply ships that do not have large air defense equipment.
Perhaps because these supply ships no longer carried a large number of sealed wine barrels, none of the supply ship explosions seen in previous air raids occurred during these three air raids.
In addition, a large number of Dorne soldiers jumped directly into the sea when they saw the situation was not good, preferring to drown rather than be burned to death by dragon flames.
So Jakaris only harvested 1120 entry points in total.
The current entry point is 4878, and is about to break through the 5000 mark.
He had a hunch that when the entry points exceeded 5000, new changes would appear in the entry panel.
as time flows.
The Dorne commander on Grey Gallows Island could increasingly feel the pressure of the Velaryon fleet and the dragons cutting off their supply lines.
If you fight, you will definitely not be able to defeat him!
Although these Dornishmen are salt people who have lived in the Broken Arm area along the coast of the Sea of Dorne all year round.
Most of them are experienced fishermen and sailors with quite good naval combat capabilities.
But the Dorne fleet was limited by the number of warships and simple weapons and equipment.
Most of the seven medium-sized warships would be lost before they could get close to the Velaryon fleet for boarding.
Not to mention the giant dragon that occasionally flies around the island in demonstration.
Escape? It's impossible to escape!
The Velaryon fleet did not blockade the waters east of Grey Gallows Island, but could have fled to Bloodstone Island or Essos.
But should we just give up this important base that we have operated for several years?
Even if he managed to return to Dorne alive, he would probably be executed by Prince Coelen.
Commander Dorne, who had been relying on sea fish to fill his stomach for days, gritted his teeth and called for his personal guards.
Sent the last raven letter to Bloodstone Island, which had never responded.
The raven flapped its wings without encountering any interception and soon flew from the southwest of the Stone Steps Islands to the northeast.
Bloodstone Island is famous for its blood-red sandstone.
These red sandstones are natural building materials.
The soldiers of the Kingdom of Three Daughters used this material to build solid red fortresses on the Bloodstone Island.
In order to prevent attacks from dragons, the exterior of these fortresses is generally flat and short, but the interior is a different world.
A fortress whose exterior was deliberately camouflaged to look like red sandstone was filled with laughter and joy.
In the spacious underground hall, several soldiers holding different musical instruments were playing Essos's characteristic songs with all their might.
In the middle of the specially cleared space, a figure in a purple striped dress was dancing with her back to the crowd.
The soldiers watching kept clapping and cheering, and occasionally someone would whistle provocatively.
Hearing the cheers and whistles, the purple figure suddenly turned around and flirted with the soldiers who were cheering.
But not everyone can enjoy this kind of scenery!
It turned out that the purple figure dressed in women's clothes was actually a burly man nearly two meters tall with a purple beard on his face.
He wasn't ugly, but the heavy makeup and purple beard made him look extremely weird.
Especially now when he laughs heartily, his mouth full of black and yellow teeth makes people feel nauseous.
But none of the soldiers watching dared to show any strange emotion.
Instead, everyone's face was filled with enthusiasm, as if the other party was really a goddess that everyone loved. There was nothing they could do, because the person dancing was the supreme commander who controlled Bloodstone Island.
Rachelino Raindon, known as the 'Queen of Rachelino'.
This captain, who was well-known in Tyrosh, was hired by the Tyrosh Grand Lord.
He came to the Stepstones and fought against the Velaryon family for many years, and never lost the upper hand.
While the cross-dressing man was dancing, a soldier entered from outside holding a raven letter.
But he didn't dare to disturb Rachelino's interest at all.
After the other party lifted his skirt to salute and thanked him, and enjoyed the warmest applause, he dared to report: "Captain Recharino, the Dornishmen from Grey Gallows Island have sent another letter!"
Seeing that there was something important to be done, Recharino whispered a curse word and waved his hand to let the ordinary soldiers in the hall leave.
The crowd dispersed, and finally only Recharino and two confidants were left.
"Kolman, look at what's written in the letter."
Sitting in the main seat in the hall, Racharino picked up a black and white kitten and petted it, and asked one of his confidants to read the letter.
Westeros uses the common language of the Seven Kingdoms, while the Free Cities of Essos use Low Valyrian.
Not everyone can be proficient in the languages of both continents.
Coleman quickly scanned the letter and reported, "It's the same as the previous letters.
They ask that we either assist them in attacking the Velaryon fleet.
Or send them supplies.”
"Humph, you piece of shit.
You are asking us for help but you still don’t know how to humble yourself.”
Listening to what his confidant had told him, Recharino cursed rudely.
“Uh, Captain.
The Dornishmen concluded their letter by saying they could hold out for five days at most.
If they see no support from us in five days, they will surrender to House Velaryon.
Then... join them in attacking Bloodstone Island!"
"Bah, attacking Bloodstone Island? Are they worthy of that?
If it weren't for the Maharaja's request that we form an alliance with them.
I've already chopped up these Dornish bastards and fed them to the fish. How could they take over Grey Gallows Island?
Shit, son of a bitch, maggots..."
Upon hearing this, Recharino, who was already cursing, became furious.
Another tall and burly confidant waited for him to vent his anger before speaking, “Captain, the Maharajah had already mentioned this in the letter he sent earlier.
Most of the governors in the Tri-City Alliance's High Council have turned against you.
Even if we sit back and watch Grey Gallows Island fall, it will not have any substantial impact on our Bloodstone Island.
But the High Council will certainly use this to attack you, and will most likely remove you as commander and send you back to Tyrosh."
Upon hearing this, Recharino, who originally looked furious, immediately showed his facial expressions.
He just smiled sinisterly and said, "Hehehe. Forrest, remember this.
Only if you change the situation at the most critical moment will you be regarded as a hero!
Well, the brothers on the island have had a good rest for so long, now it’s time for them to work hard! "
That night, the Kingdom of the Three Daughters sent out twelve large warships and dozens of small warships.
Headed straight for the Vadmon fleet stationed in the waters west of Chenbing Bloodstone Island.
There have been minor wars over the years, but no major wars in the Stone Steps Islands.
From this moment on, we officially enter a state of full-scale war!
