Chapter 17 Occupation, Hard Skin
On the fifth day after the night raid on Bloodstone Island, in the sea west of Gray Gallows Island.
The burning warships were emitting thick smoke.
These warships were of varying sizes and could not be identified by their flags and charred hulls.
However, judging from the large number of corpses wearing bright yellow leather armor floating on the nearby sea.
Most of the warships belong to the Kingdom of Dorne!
Whoohoo!
Earl Corliss, his entire silver-white armor stained with blood, gasped and took his double-edged battle axe from the Dorne commander's head.
Squeezing the little remaining strength in his body, he swung his axe to chop off Commander Dorn's head, who still had a look of fear on his face.
Count Collis held the head high and shouted: "We have won!"
"Wooah! Long live Lord Sea Snake!"
"Long live House Velaryon!"
"Long live Prince Jacaerys!"
Upon hearing this, the Valerian soldiers on the surrounding warships cheered and echoed loudly.
The Dorne soldiers who knelt down in surrender had bitter expressions on their faces and looked up at the distant sky.
The giant green-scale dragon that caused their total defeat was still ruthlessly chasing the Dornish soldiers who had escaped early.
Yes, this war was indeed proposed by the Dornishmen!
But who could have thought that those whore-born bastards from the Third Daughter Kingdom would be so useless?
When they saw the fleet of the Kingdom of the Three Daughters appear on the sea level as expected, their Dorne fleet took the initiative to attack and entangle the fleet of Earl Collis.
Unexpectedly, their Dorne fleet was attacked from both front and back the next moment.
They didn't react until a giant green-scaled dragon appeared from behind.
That Three Daughters Kingdom fleet is fake!
How could the Dornishmen, whose warships and weapons were outdated and who had never had enough to eat during this period, possibly win?
The entire war was a one-sided massacre by the Velaryon family.
At this time, the importance of battlefield communications is reflected.
Two days ago, Earl Collis learned the news of his side's great victory in the night attack on Bloodstone Island through a raven letter sent by Jacaerys.
And they cooperated very well with his strategy of using captured large warships to disguise themselves as the fleet of the Three Daughters Kingdom to fight the enemy.
The Dornish had no idea that the Kingdom of the Three Daughters had been defeated.
Because Jacaerys surrounded Bloodstone Island with most of his troops and did not allow any birds to fly out of the island.
Lost the main force.
No matter how the remaining one hundred or so Dornishmen on Grey Gallows Island use the terrain and city defense equipment, they will not be able to hold the city!
That afternoon the silver seahorse of House Velaryon floated over the tip of Grey Gallows Island.
Bang!
Womacks landed heavily in a charred ruin on Gray Gallows Island.
The environment carbonized by dragon flames made it so comfortable that its dragon body collapsed directly.
"Ouch! Xiaojie, didn't I tell you to stay on Mijie Island?
How are you? Are you okay? "
As soon as Jacaerys jumped off the dragon's back, Count Collis, who had changed into a new set of armor, immediately came forward to show concern.
This is different from the previous time when he just pretended to be a kind grandfather.
He now sincerely cares about his 'grandson'.
The quagmire-like Stone Steps Archipelago underwent drastic changes due to a series of measures taken by Jacaris.
Although the information obtained through the raven letters is incomplete, it can be fully seen through these two wars.
Jacaerys Velaryon is an absolute military genius!
Earl Collis, who had seen countless big scenes during his nine voyages, certainly knew what he should do.
“Don’t worry, Grandpa.
I would never put myself in any danger.”
Jacaerys smiled and answered with a sincere word,
Then his expression changed, and he continued with a look of self-blame,
“Grandpa, I didn’t tell you before because I was worried that it might affect you.
At the critical moment of the night raid on Bloodstone Island, the Pirate Alliance suddenly attacked us.
My uncle and Queen Rhaenys were hijacked by them!"
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Earl Collis' eyes widened and he shouted angrily,
"Those damn hyenas!
I will lead my troops to sail out now, and I will find them even if I have to search the entire Stone Steps Archipelago!"
Hmm? I'll harvest those reserve points when I have time. Now I have something else to do!
Jacaerys looked at the furious Earl Collis and frowned slightly.
Then he began to guide: "Grandpa, the purpose of those pirates is to make money.
Once they know my great uncle's identity, they will definitely send someone to demand a ransom. We just have to wait quietly.
The most important thing now is to capture Bloodstone Island before the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Three Daughters arrive.
By then, these three large islands will form a triangle to blockade the Stone Steps Islands.
We just need to control the key waterways.
It will prevent the enemies outside from coming in, and the pirates inside from getting out!"
"Xiaojie, you are right.
I was too anxious about this matter.
Those hyenas will definitely not dare to harm Wamond, we will deal with them when we are free."
Seeing that Count Lancolis was so receptive to advice, Jacaerys smiled and nodded.
He then took the initiative to tell the story of how he had falsely transmitted military orders.
After all, this kind of thing cannot be kept secret.
The result was as he expected.
Now Earl Collis had no intention of blaming him at all, instead he spoke up for him.
"Xiaojie, do you know?
When I first saw you grown up more than half a month ago, I felt like I saw Lannino.
You are all born military geniuses!
Before I received the raven letter, I really thought your target was Grey Gallows Island.
But they didn't expect it to be to lure out the Third Daughter Kingdom fleet and defeat them.
Finally, they turned around and attacked Gray Gallows Island."
Jacaerys listened to Earl Collis's praise without saying much.
Naturally, he would not tell Earl Collis that he was using the strategies of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west and throwing a brick to attract jade from among the Thirty-Six Stratagems.
Then, Jacaerys suggested finding a place to sit down and discuss how to attack Bloodstone Island.
Count Collis nodded and was about to turn around, but suddenly stopped.
He carefully looked at Womacks lying flat on the charred ruins, and said uncertainly: "Xiaojie, is Womacks a little different from before?
Its scales seemed to become greener and tighter."
"Really? I look at it every day and I can't tell.
The Dragon Guards of Dragonstone said that Vermax is in a period of rapid growth, so it is normal for him to have some slight changes!"
Jacaerys laughed casually when he heard this.
Then he found a topic about Bloodstone Island, and while discussing it, he stepped forward to help Earl Collis away.
Lord Collis was indeed a man of good observation.
Jakaris had harvested enough entry points from his dragon riding today, and had refreshed the fourth entry and upgraded it to green quality.
[Tough Skin (Green): Defense +20%]
A simple but very practical entry.
Unlike the previous three items, Hard Skin has a greater impact on Womax's appearance.
First, the emerald green dragon scales become richer and deeper, and begin to have the color of emerald imperial green.
Then a lot of new dragon scales grew out, and each dragon scale was tightly connected with the surrounding scales to form a tight and solid protective layer.
This structure allows the dragon scales to support each other and disperse the pressure when impacted by external forces, thereby providing better defense.
Vermax now has multiple attributes including growth, speed, additional damage, defense, etc.
It can be considered a quadrilateral warrior among many dragons.
However, the percentage bonus of the entry is just data, and its actual combat effectiveness still needs to be tested through actual combat.
That afternoon, Jacaerys and Earl Collis worked out a plan to attack Bloodstone Island.
Of course, it was formulated together.
But it was basically Jacaerys who made the plan alone, with Lord Collis just listening quietly.
In fact, Jacaerys had thought of this plan a long time ago, and spent most of his time today trying to convince Earl Collis to agree.
Because this plan is too sinister!
