Chapter 377, heads-up team battle
In the face of a powerful invader, the free trade city-state, which everyone was at risk, chose to fight to the death, with hundreds of transcendents and more than half a million elite troops, and the nobility, wealthy merchants and slave owners of the trading city-state gained great confidence.
Each trading city-state has summoned hundreds of giant crossbows to fire thousands of arrows when they converge, believing that the coalition already has the capital to fight the dragons!
He was hired by Stannis, but due to Stannis's failure and lack of funds, Salado Thorn had no choice but to return to the Stonesteps Islands to continue working as a pirate.
However.
It begins with Arthur's alliance with the Iron Isles in Dorne.
The people of the Iron Islands protected the maritime trade south of Westeros.
Face a powerful iron fleet, murderous iron pirates, and a drowned priest who has mastered divine arts.
With Salado Thorn's strength, he robbed the merchant ships of the Iron Islanders once, and he knew how terrible they were, and then he was chased by the Iron Fleet in the Stone Steps Islands, and completely lost his place to live.
If not shrewd and decisive enough.
Upon discovering that the Iron Islands battleship had appeared above the raging waves, he immediately abandoned the entire fleet and ordered the main ship to flee desperately, and was absolutely dead at sea.
Driving out the transcendent prince who invaded Essos?
Dealing with dragons?
Exterminate the slave army?
In the brightly lit tavern, Salado Thorne, who listened to the Rhysian bragging, was full of disdain, and asked the crew to gather immediately and prepare to leave here, not planning to continue to mix in Reese.
Even prepare to stay away from the western part of Essos, all the free trade city-states and Slave Bay.
For he had seen the horrors of the Iron Fleet, inquired about the horrors of the dragons, and how powerful the transcendents were to end the Battle of Winter.
The coalition of the Seven Free Trade City-States and Slave Bay?
They're lost!
however
Salado Thorne, who was about to leave Reece overnight, walked to the docks, and by the faint moonlight, he saw a continuous blurred shadow of a ship on the dark sea!
"Bell~!!"
Soldiers on duty at the port of Resbs sounded the alarm.
Before Salado Thorne could escape, a furious firework burst into the dark night, and the earth-shattering roar resounded throughout the docks, and cannonballs whizzed across the night sky, followed by explosions that seemed to destroy the world!
The huge wave rose to more than 20 meters, and then hit directly into the city of Rees!
The battleship above the waves, protected by the sea, fell unscathed into the streets of the city, allowing the soldiers on deck to land on the ground.
They can't be stopped!
In front of muskets, bows, and artillery, Reese's army came to die.
Reese's Transcendent?
Without the strength of the Golden Tier, they can't stop bullets and grenades, and with Gawain, Lancelot, Ranmarok, Ryan, Varian, and Robert with them, even if they have more force than ordinary people, they still can't pose a threat to the raiding army.
Destroying the withering and decaying!
Reese's alchemist is known for his ability to make poison.
However, in the face of bullets, arrows, grenades and cannonballs on the frontal battlefield, they did not help the Reese army at all.
Successfully broke through Reese Pier and entered the city.
In order to attack Pantos as soon as possible, defeat the Union of Trade City-States.
Arthur sighed and allowed the Iron Isles pirates to kill all the nobles, merchants, slave owners, slave traders, and branch owners he could find in the city of Rees, where slavery and hedonism were rife.
On the island.
The Iron Fleet and the Drowned Priest blockade the seas.
The nobles, merchants, slave owners, slave merchants, and female branch owners of Reese had nowhere to run.
Cut through the mess with a quick knife, wipe out Reese's army, take away all the warships and merchant ships that can be taken away, and destroy them if you can't take them away.
Reese, as an island city-state, is largely in ruins.
Having had experience sacking the islands of Telosi and Stonesteps, the Iron Islanders were very fast.
As the night passed, the pirates looted money, jewels, gold, and all sorts of goods, almost full of warships and empty merchant ships captured in Reese.
The nobles and wealthy merchants who could be caught were put on the ship for people to watch.
The Reese slave owner, the slave trader, and the female branch owner who ran the slave love garden were all directly executed!
Influenced by Cheap Daddy and his two big brothers, Daenerys, as well as Randolph, Robb, and many of the Iron Isles pirates.
Arthur finally completely put away his kindness and kindness, showing a terrifying iron will.
Return to Mill with a lucrative booty.
With the help of the Drowning Priest, everyone hurriedly counted the proceeds and straightened out the day, and the next morning they screamed and killed Pantos.
In the city of Pantos, there is also a rich merchant governor who is loyal to Daenerys but refuses to leave.
Because the free trade city-state declared war on Arthur and the Dragon Queen.
Illyrio Mopatis lost his position as governor without accident and was imprisoned by the prince.
Knowing the power of the Children of Light, the Magiers, the Dragons, the Iron Fleet, and the muskets and cannons, the nobles and wealthy merchants of Pantos are as dangerous as the rest of the world.
Fear dragon and iron fleet attacks.
Many aristocrats, merchants, and slave owners had left Pantos, but there were still those who chose to stay at the expense of their family business, and many of them contacted Illyrio Morpatis to negotiate the terms of surrender with Arthur and Daenerys through him.
The city's garrison has multiplied fivefold!
But the sun sets, dusk comes, and the sunset burns like fire.
On the dusky and reddish sea, the fleet appeared with a huge wave, and all the soldiers of Pantos were not sure to repel the enemy or hold the line.
The sound of alarm bells is the signal of artillery fire!
No dragons in sight.
However, the terrible scene created by the explosion of cannonballs, and the huge waves that rushed into the city, allowing the murderous pirates on the Iron Isles warships to land, the nobles, wealthy merchants, and slave owners of Pantos packed up their things and fled.
Not island city-states like Telosi and Reese.
Arthur couldn't keep Pantos out completely.
However, he did not need to control the city, as long as he broke through the defenses and wiped out Pantos' army, so that Pantos could not help the coalition forces of the trading city-states.
on the flagship of the USS Mir.
Looking at Lancelot, who rushed left and right to destroy the enemy, Lancelot was full of envy, and took advantage of the opportunity of the prince Arthur by his side, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, this battle is won, can I form a cavalry regiment?"
"Forming a cavalry regiment?"
Arthur, who was only going to develop firearms, scratched his head: "Didn't we have a cavalry regiment?"
"Your Highness, we have captured so many war horses, can't we sell them all....." Ranmarok said depressedly, "I hope to expand the territory for His Highness to command the cavalry......."
Arthur was a little speechless about the knight's obsession with cavalry: "Isn't it good to be a naval commander?"
Ranmarok said depressedly: "But Your Highness... I learned to ride horses and spears since I was a child, just to be a knight, and the military I learned was also cavalry warfare......"
Arthur: "Aren't you doing well now as a naval commander?"
"Moreover, you go to be the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, who will command the navy?"
"I'm ashamed to say it, Your Highness, I think I'm useless as a naval commander, and I can't help at all, if it's the Iron Islanders who command the fleet... I think they'll do better. "Ranmar Rock Road.
There is no doubt that the Iron Islanders fought a great naval battle.
But they were not his henchmen, and Arthur disliked these murderous pirates who often plundered.
After thinking about it, he still decided to let the knight's dream come true: "It's no problem to form the Second Knights, but before you leave office, you must recruit enough 8,000 seamen and find a qualified naval commander for me." ”
Ranmarok immediately thought of the big guys in the shipyard: "The new ship is launched?"
Arthur nodded, "Yes." ”
Hearing this, Ranmarok felt very sorry, because the navy could not intervene in the next battle with the alliance forces of the Trade City State.
However, the prince agreed to form a cavalry regiment, and he was very happy.
"Ranmaroke, tell the sailors not to let their guard down and prevent the remnants of Pantos from counterattacking. With that, Arthur went into the city of Pantos with Selena, LeBlanc, and Ambrosius, and ordered his soldiers to execute slave owners and slave traders.
Pantos abolished slavery.
But many of the nobles and wealthy people here can use their brains to make the nominally free commoners bear heavy debts, and then enslave the poor with debts, without the name of a slave, but no different from a slave.
Counting debts is time-consuming.
Robert, Ryan, Varian, Landau, Robb, and Asha are not in favor of a detailed investigation and interrogation, and want to cut through all the nobles and wealthy merchants they have caught, just like Reese.
Considering the future to rule Pantos.
It's nothing to kill one or two by mistake, but all the nobles and rich people can be slaughtered, and Arthur, who doesn't want to leave hidden dangers, decisively opposes it, and instead captures all of them back to Mill.
Anyway, Mill has built a prison, and the land of strife needs people to build roads and mines.
The captives will be taken more.
The news of Rees's breach had not yet reached Valantis, but Pantos was not far from Braavos.
There is a raven subpoena.
Braavos didn't learn about the attack on Pantos in a few days!
And then.
The Union of Trade City-States has become panicked again.
With the dragon and the Drowned Priest, the Prince of Westeros who occupies Mill and the Land of Discord, and the Dragon Queen will have no problem fighting wherever they want.
They were all afraid that before they could drive the two away, their hometown would be stolen......
"I heard that none of the Dothraki who followed the Dragon Queen to the Sunset Country have returned. "Maybe we can win over some more allies." ”
"Those Dothraki barbarians?"
Braavos thought: "That's a good idea, but I don't think it's enough. ”
The well-informed Norphes general said with a gloomy face: "The father of that prince, the emperor of the Sunset Country, also led people to participate in the attack on Pantos, and we may also have to face the elite generals from the other side of the Narrow Sea......"
"These situations are terrible. ”
The Loras frowned, "Did the men of Slave Bay and the forces of Valantis converge?"
Braavos: "No news yet, it should be soon." ”
"I heard... The knights of the Sunset Realm value honor, can we arrange a few plans in this regard?" a Norfoss nobleman muttered, "After all, the prince has a good reputation, which means that he is a person who will be credited. ”
The candlelight flickered in the tent of the coalition army's council camp, and the representatives of the cities who heard this fell silent, their faces full of thought, and their eyes were full of defensiveness for the people around them.
They were guarding against traitors.
Because of the strength of Arthur and Daenerys, they are afraid that someone will secretly contact them and reach a deal that will turn against them.
The nobleman of Norfoss was a little stunned, and then with a look of realizing that he had said the wrong thing, he said, "I mean to send a war letter to that prince, and agree to a decisive battle in the Golden Field. ”
"The Golden Fields?"
This place is a good decisive point.
However, the coalition did not forget that the enemy possessed a dragon.
Once the two dragons appear on the battlefield, they cannot shoot them with a crossbow, and the army is only lambs to the slaughter, no matter how large they are.
"It's still not enough. ”
The Golden Fields belonged to the plains, and the general of Kohor muttered, "But... If we contact the Dothraki, we have a better chance of winning. ”
"Actually......"
The Norfoss nobleman shook his head, "I mean while the enemy is about to cross the Lalulu River into the Golden Fields... Launch an attack. ”
Everyone's eyes lit up: "Is there anything else?"
"What if it fails?"
"It can also attract the stone people to attack the enemy's army, after all, they will definitely bring a lot of food and logistics supplies, which are lacking in the gray scale patients. ”
"We have recruited more than 30 new Cloud Sky Masters, and the weather will be in our favor. ”
"Even if it's a wildfire, I'm sure those mages from Asha will help minimize the damage. ”
......
Back to Mill.
The two expeditions were successfully won, and the spoils of war were abundant, and the whole city was filled with joy.
For the arrival of the alliance of the trade city-states, Arthur, who received the war letter, did not take it seriously, and continued to recruit troops, expand military training, and increase the production of ammunition and ordnance.
There is no superiority in troops.
It would be foolish to abandon the defense and go to the Golden Fields for a decisive battle.
Who knows if the coalition forces of the trading city-states will have any conspiracy?
Even if Daenerys agrees to go to the decisive battle, Robert, Ryan, Varian, and Randolph advise Arthur to seize this opportunity that can be determined.
And.
With two mighty dragons, and many transcendents of extraordinary strength.
Even Robb chose not to return to Winterfell for the time being, leaving his younger brother and sister Bran to join the war, and with the help of the Three-Eyed Raven, they definitely won.
What caution is still needed?
The resolute Daenerys can't wait to dominate the free trade city-state, then retake Slave Bay and free all the suffering people.
All are eager to continue to win.
Going to the Golden Field for a decisive battle became a matter of course.
As for whether the enemy will have any intrigues?
There are the Iron Isles and Dorne as allies.
There is no threat at sea.
Mill had 5,000 men and 15,000 men stationed in the Land of Dissention, and muskets and artillery would destroy all invading enemies.
That's it.
Without worries, everyone who has the chance to win follows Daenerys, who rides a dragon and a dragon, and sets out with the army to conquer the Golden Field.
Arthur, accustomed to caution, personally acted as a scout from time to time.
Ride on Rego to spy on the enemy, and every few days he takes time to fly to the rear of Mill and the Lands of Discord.
...... To be continued......
