Chapter 18: The Plan of Extermination
The day after the Bloodstone Island plan was formulated, Jacaerys escorted more than 300 Dornish prisoners back home.
Earl Collis relied on his family's merchant ships and strong monetary power to prepare the special items needed for Jacaris.
House Velaryon now completely controls Grey Gallows Island and has laid siege to Bloodstone Island.
In fact, they have barely gained control of the waters of the Stone Steps Islands.
With the escort of their own fleet, Velaryon merchant ships can now move freely between the Stepstones and Westeros.
……
Bloodstone Island, in the underground fortress hall.
Recharino has been in a state of anxiety for more than half a month, and has not even touched her favorite purple dress.
He is known in Tyrosh for his cunning and strange habits.
Recharino never expected that he would suffer such a huge setback in the Stone Steps Archipelago.
After reviewing the situation over this period of time, he always felt that he was led by the nose in the previous night attack.
If this is just a coincidence, it would be fine. But if not, the enemy must have an extremely powerful commander.
After years of fighting experience, he knew that the Earl Collis brothers did not have this ability.
Da da da!
Suddenly, the sound of almost jogging footsteps came into Racharino's ears.
He looked up at the person who came and asked in a calm tone, "Kouman, what's wrong?
You came to me, is there any news about reinforcements?"
“No, Captain.
The giant dragon that had disappeared for more than half a month appeared again!
The Velaryon fleet is also approaching the coastline, and it looks like they are preparing to land on the island and attack us."
"very good!
They finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Let the remaining 1,500 or so brothers on the island cheer up and teach these bastards a lesson.
Do you really think we have been dancing and having fun on Bloodstone Island all these years?"
Upon hearing this, Recharino was not angry but happy, and gave orders to Coleman excitedly.
"Yes!"
……
At noon, as the Velaryon fleet approached the coastline of Bloodstone Island, it was attacked by catapults built next to the red fortresses.
Large warships were fine, as rocks as big as heads would at most smash through the deck and leave a big hole.
If those small warships were hit by the rocks, the Valerian soldiers on them would basically sink and fall into the water.
Hooray, hooray!
There was the sound of flapping wings in the sky, and Womax, who had been hiding in the clouds, appeared and dived.
"Dracarys!"
When they flew over a low red fortress, Jacaerys gave the order to breathe dragon fire.
Hey!
The scorching dragon flame instantly ignited the catapult built next to the red fortress, and several soldiers of the Kingdom of the Three Daughters who were operating the catapult were directly turned into charcoal.
The red fortress made of solid red sandstone is basically intact except for its charred exterior.
Several fearless soldiers from the Kingdom of the Three Daughters ran out of the red fortress.
He simply lifted up a layer of camouflage and used the large crossbow that had been strung long ago to shoot at Womax who had just flown past.
Boom boom boom!
Wow!
The thick and long crossbow arrows flew out suddenly with powerful kinetic energy, and there were actually iron chains tied behind them.
It seems that Recharino is planning to capture Womacks alive.
He probably wanted to use a living dragon to make up for his defeat in this battle.
But is this possible?
Wormax already has the flexibility attribute that increases speed, not to mention that these thick and long crossbow arrows become even slower due to the drag of the chains.
There is absolutely no threat at all.
After losing several catapults, Recharino, who was hiding in the fortress watching the battle, finally gave up the idea of capturing him alive.
He opened his mouth and let Coleman convey his new instructions.
shhhhhh!
Boom boom boom!
The covering rain of arrows and the thick and long crossbow arrows at normal speed attacked together, and Jekaris, who was diving on the dragon, immediately felt the pressure.
Although he had the defensive bonus of his hard skin, he was not sure whether he could withstand these thick and long crossbow arrows.
With his agility and speed, Womax dodged the thick and long crossbow arrows, then withstood the rain of arrows and burned three catapults.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Jakaris controlled Womacks to fly back into the clouds.
He just wanted to attract the attention of the enemy on Bloodstone Island today, and now he has delayed long enough.
More than twenty minutes ago, on the deck of the Lannino.
Benilla, with a deliberately cold face, was shouting to the more than one hundred Dornish surrendered soldiers on the deck: "The hope of survival is in front of you.
How to fight for it is up to you! Of course, you can also choose to escape to those red fortresses.
But believe me, humans can't outrun dragons!
Okay, let’s proceed according to the previous plan!”
"Yes!"
The more than one hundred surrendered soldiers answered and jumped off the Lannino and rushed towards the Bloodstone Island.
Bang bang, bang bang!
As they ran quickly, there was a sound of hard objects hitting each other in the wooden box on their backs.
In addition to the Lannino, there were also some small warships taking action at the same time.
These 310 surrendered soldiers were brought back by Jacaerys from Grey Gallows Island.
After witnessing dozens of his companions become snacks for Womax or be burned to death by it.
They will do anything to survive now!
Such a large group of Dornish surrendered soldiers charging at the same time would naturally attract the attention of the defenders of the Kingdom of the Three Daughters in the red fortresses.
However, most of the fortresses at this time were aiming at the green-scaled dragon in the sky under the order of Commander Recharino.
Only a few fortresses targeted these Dornish surrendered soldiers.
shhhhhh!
The sharp arrows easily pierced through the bodies of these Dornish surrendered soldiers who had no protective gear except for the wooden boxes behind them.
The Dornish surrendered soldiers who were hit by arrows fell heavily to the ground.
The wooden box behind them fell to the ground, and a number of bright yellow columnar objects fell out.
After three or four rounds of arrow rain, there were less than two hundred surrendered soldiers still charging forward.
Huh? Where are they going?
The defenders of the Three Daughters Kingdom in these defensive fortresses are about to continue the attack.
However, they found that the two hundred Dornish surrendered soldiers suddenly turned sharply and ran to the left after crossing the beach and entering the red sandstone terrain.
This confused the defenders of the Third Daughter Kingdom.
After leaving behind more than a hundred corpses, they did not continue to charge and attack the fortress, but ran to an inexplicable place.
Hmm, is there anything important in that direction?
No, but there seems to be a natural cave with nice scenery!
Unlike the confused defenders of the Kingdom of the Three Daughters, these two hundred Dornish surrendered soldiers were very purposeful.
After they rushed into the natural cave, they immediately unloaded the wooden boxes behind them.
Pour out the bright yellow columnar objects and quickly piece them together.
This is the yellow bamboo that grows in river bends. Its biggest features are that it is sturdy and light.
These yellow bamboos have been selected and specially processed, so that each bamboo joint is basically the same thickness and can be reconnected.
Rustling!
Sections of yellow bamboo are spliced together.
They became longer and longer, and soon extended out of this natural cave.
Extending all the way to...the sea.
Although this natural cave is located in the red sandstone area, due to its special topography, the inner layer of the cave is actually below sea level.
The pipes spliced together by yellow bamboo suddenly produced a siphon phenomenon, and a large amount of seawater flowed into the natural cave through the yellow bamboo pipes.
Wow!
The clear, unpolluted sea water flows downward along the natural cave terrain until it merges into the innermost underground river.
The island's fresh water mainly comes from rainfall, which seeps into the island's soil layer and is partially stored underground to form underground rivers.
It would be very difficult to attack the red fortresses on Bloodstone Island head-on!
Jacaerys' plan was to pollute the underground rivers of Bloodstone Island with seawater.
Given the size of Bloodstone Island, this task cannot be completed in a day or two.
However, the Huang Guizhu pipeline has now been successfully connected, and Jacaerys only needs to lead the Velaryon fleet to hold this area.
If the defenders of the Third Daughter Kingdom abandoned the Red Fortress and took the initiative to attack the natural cave, that would be exactly what he wanted.
But if the Bloodstone Island seawater pollution plan is really completed successfully.
In the future, the huge underground river of Bloodstone Island will be diluted again by rainfall alone.
It may take more than ten years, dozens of years, or even hundreds of years.
It can be said that this is an extremely vicious plan to destroy the entire family!
