Chapter 9 The Suppression of the Dragon
The Kingdom of the Three Daughters and the Kingdom of Dorne support each other, and the many uninhabited islands south of the Mysterious Island must be hiding small enemy reconnaissance ships.
As long as the Velaryon fleet launched a large-scale attack on one side, the other side would immediately provide support.
This put the Velaryon fleet in a difficult situation where it was attacked from both sides.
No wonder the situation in the Stone Steps Islands has remained deadlocked for so many years.
Now the daily material consumption of these seven or eight thousand troops is purely a test of the strength of each party!
After learning about the situation of the Stepstones in detail, Jacaerys sincerely admired Earl Collis's courage to fight against two kingdoms with the strength of one family.
But he had his reasons for joining this war!
The reason why the Velaryon family became the richest noble family in Westeros was entirely due to Earl Corlys.
The first Westerosi to reach Asshai near the Shadow Lands.
Count Collis exchanged the fleet's cargo for a large amount of gold and gems in the mineral-rich country of Ashai.
He then used part of the gold to buy twenty new ships in Qarth, as well as local spices, elephants, and the finest silk.
Although some of it was lost on the way back to Westeros due to storms, pirates and other reasons.
But they brought back the specialties of Essos as well as gold and gems.
This directly made the wealth of House Velaryon surpass that of House Lannister and House Hightower.
With the sailing experience of the nine great adventures, Earl Collis planned several sea trade routes for his family.
Through these sea trade routes, the Velaryon family firmly holds the title of the richest family in the Seven Kingdoms.
The Stepstones are the vital points for these sea routes in and out of Westeros.
"Hey! Didn't you just boast that you could change the situation within a month?
Why aren't you talking now?
Is it that the war situation is different from what is written in the books, and I don’t know what to do?
Hahaha! "
Jacaerys ignored the taunts of a dead man.
His mind was spinning frantically, and he looked up and said to Earl Collis, “The power of the Kingdom of Dorne is far weaker than that of the Kingdom of the Three Daughters.
Grandpa, our goal should be on them."
“Yeah, I thought so before.
But it’s not that simple.
Unless we attack Bloodstone Island with all our might, they won't leave Grey Gallows Island.
And fighting on the island is equivalent to stepping into their trap.
We've been hurt before.
Even now with your dragon joining the fight, the situation would be much the same.
Because the Dornish have extensive experience in fighting dragons, Grey Gallows Island is equipped with many anti-aircraft equipment.
Even the crab feeder's tactics of digging rat holes were learned from the Dornish!"
Lord Collis shook his head when he heard this.
In his opinion, Jacaerys was oversimplifying the war.
“Grandpa, I have thought of a way to deal with them.
I just need your and my uncle's full cooperation!"
As soon as these words came out, Earl Collis and Valmond looked at each other immediately.
The former was skeptical, while the latter did not believe it at all.
Jakaris gave a confident smile and slowly stated his tactical plan.
……
Wow!
Three medium-sized flat-bottomed sailing ships coming from the Sea of Dorne were riding the wind and waves, sailing quickly towards Grey Gallows Island.
Thanks to today's strong tailwind, the three flat-bottomed sailboats arrived at the harbor at the southwest corner of Gray Gallows Island faster than usual.
Many years ago, Grey Gallows Island was a supply stop and a den of wanton enjoyment for pirates in the Narrow Sea.
So there are prosperous towns and ports.
But in the Stone Islands War many years ago, in order to cut off the crab feeders' supply points, Damon and Lanino took turns to wash the ground with dragon flames.
The island's towns and ports have long been reduced to charred ruins.
Those who had fled early now built a new supply town on a medium-sized island in the middle of the Stepstones. The Kingdom of Dorne re-used this town and port after occupying Grey Gallows Island.
It seems that they are planning to turn this place into their important stronghold in the Narrow Sea.
In the ruins of a town where most of the area has been charred and deserted.
A Dornish soldier wearing a turban and bright yellow cotton armor was hiding on the top of a half-melted tower near the port.
woo~~
After seeing clearly the golden spear flags piercing the sun on the three flat-bottomed sailboats on the sea, he blew the horn at his waist.
Rustling!
The camouflaged barriers on the ground of the town ruins were lifted one by one by the Dorne soldiers who heard the horn and climbed out excitedly.
At the same time, a large group of Dorne soldiers emerged from the surrounding mountains.
The ruined town, which had been dead silent, became lively in the blink of an eye.
The reason why these more than a thousand Dorne soldiers were so excited was that these three flat-bottomed sailing ships were supply ships.
The entire Gray Gallows Island has no food source except underground fresh water and a small amount of sea fish caught daily.
They were counting on the supply ship that came once a month to improve their diet.
As soon as the supply ship docked, the Dornish soldiers rushed aboard and began to load supplies.
Hooray, hooray!
Suddenly, the Dorne soldiers on guard at the abandoned tower heard a faint sound of breaking air.
He looked up and immediately noticed something unusual in the clouds in the sky.
woo woo woo woo!
The horn signaling an enemy attack sounded rapidly.
Thousands of Dorne soldiers who found no enemy on the sea subconsciously looked up at the sky.
I saw a giant dragon with a majestic head and horns and covered with green scales suddenly flying through the white clouds and diving at high speed towards the supply ship.
Hey!
The scorching orange flame spewed out from the dragon's mouth, instantly burning several Dorne soldiers who had no time to react into charcoal.
But the power of dragon flame is more than that!
Bang bang bang!
The pillar of dragon flame that fell from the sky was not only terrifyingly high in temperature, but also extremely impactful.
Starting from the charred corpses of the Dornish soldiers, a flame trench several meters wide was plowed out among the Dornish soldiers and headed straight for the supply ship on the beach.
Blah, blah!
A large amount of flaming gravel and mud was splashed everywhere by the impact of the dragon flame, hitting the Dorne soldiers who were fleeing in panic around them.
Ah!
help me!
Run away!
Screams, cries for help, and sounds of people fleeing were heard everywhere.
Boom! ! !
A huge explosion suddenly sounded, covering up all the previous sounds.
Many Dorne soldiers who were fleeing towards the cave entrance turned around and looked when they heard the sound.
I saw a flat-bottomed sailing ship ignited by the scorching dragon flames being blown into two pieces in the middle, and explosions were still occurring one after another.
Some quick-witted Dornish soldiers instantly guessed that the flat-bottomed sailing ship should be loaded with a large number of sealed wine barrels.
With the help of the scorching dragon flame and the help of alcohol, the other two supply ships around were also quickly ignited.
Hooray, hooray!
Jakaris, who was on Womax's back, saw that he could achieve the tactical goal of this trip with just one dive.
He immediately used telepathic communication to ask Womacks to change direction.
Hey!
In the face of the powerful dragon flame, the flesh and blood body is too fragile.
The Dornish soldiers melted instantly like candles falling into lava.
The continuously flashing attribute points in the lower left corner of his field of vision gave Jakaris the same thrill of killing monsters with AOE in an online game.
This should be the correct way to open entry points!
shhhhhh!
As Jakaris prepared to turn back for a third low-altitude dive, a large number of arrows shot in from the surrounding mountains.
He had to force Womax to turn sideways and block with his dragon body.
Dangdang Dangdang!
Ordinary arrows hit the layers of green dragon scales on Womax's body, making a series of crisp sounds but were unable to break through his defense.
However, during this period, Jacaris saw a number of large ballistas specifically designed to target dragons being pushed out.
Groups of Dorne soldiers were surrounding the large crossbows and urgently loading their strings.
Today we will just have some appetizers and save the main course for last!
With an envious look at the large number of Dornish soldiers below, Jacaerys rode his dragon back into the clouds.
The dragon and the dragon rider left in such a cool manner.
Leaving behind were charred corpses all over the ground and three supply ships that had turned into huge fireballs and were burning fiercely.
Terrifying flaming dragon breath, superb aerial maneuverability, and defense that cannot be penetrated by ordinary weapons!
This is the battlefield suppression power of the dragon as a top combat force!
