Chapter 360, the short peace is about to pass
Winter is coming to spring, and the long winter in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire is finally over.
The slanting sun shines on the waves, and the fire burns so that the sea and the sky are connected.
Compared to the Iron Islands warships, the 3rd class sail battleships are very conspicuous because of their large, multi-layered, and bloated hulls, and the sails are painted with griffons of the Holy Loren family wearing crowns, holding swords in one claw, and shields in the other.
Others will know at a glance that this ship is the most important flagship.
On the deck of the griffin battleship, Arthur was holding a telescope and observing the coastline of the island ahead with a blank face.
Once, as a royal family, Saint Lorain fled across the sea in embarrassment because of Cersei's coup d'état.
I finally crossed the Narrow Sea.
Unexpectedly, as one of the nine free trade city-states, Telosi would be moved by Lannister's words and wanted and hunted down the dignified Westeros royal family.
The Lannister's rebellion ends.
The Holy Loran family, who was hunted down in Telosi, must settle old accounts for the sake of future development and royal dignity!
Not wanting to start a war lightly, Arthur didn't ask much for it, just apologize and admit his mistakes.
However, the island city-state of Telosi ignored it.
was cut off from the sea trade with Dorne by Arthur, and he didn't care about the economic blockade, and still went his own way.
The greedy Terosi even took the initiative to raid merchant ships and plunder!
They want war!
The princes of Dorne, who have lost their interests, can't bear it!
The pirates of the Iron Islands who were robbed of their old profession can't bear it even more!
Although Arthur loves peace, he can't fight back, and the plan to let the Iron Fleet blockade the waters of Telosi be directly changed to an attack!
Give them war!
"The coastal line of Telosi seems to have few fortifications. ”
Hearing the prince's words, the white-bearded old wizard on the side guessed: "Your Highness, the warships of the Tylosi Harbor should be dispatched, right?"
Glancing at the harbor where the sails were moving, Arthur handed the telescope to the magic advisor, "Yes." Then he turned his head and shouted to the sailors on the battleship: "All ready for battle!"
"It's time for the Terosi to show the Terosi the power of our Mir battleship!"
Hearing this, Gawain and Lancelot immediately shouted excitedly, causing all the sailors and soldiers on the ship to scream.
Compared to the Gryphon battleships, the iron species of the surrounding iron fleet are much quieter.
Because naval warfare for them is all about eating and sleeping.
Mere Telosi battleship?
With the protection of the drowning gods, the Iron Islanders have never taken them seriously.
On the New Black Wind, Asha Greyjoy, who put away her binoculars, smiled and asked Pastor Eren beside her, "Uncle, can we do a raid?"
Wet hair nodded expressionlessly: "Yes, pray sincerely to the drowning god." ”
Asha immediately knelt down on one knee in the bow of the ship, followed the priest to recite the prayer, and the calm sea instantly had waves surging, and the sea water rose, like the palm of her hand, directly supporting the entire fleet on the huge waves!
“what is dead may never die,but rises again harder and stronger!”
"The deceased does not die, it will rise again, and its momentum will be even stronger!"
The ocean is the joy of the people of the Iron Islands!
Aboard the battleship Mir, Arthur had already foreseen the outcome of this war.
The Talosi will be slaughtered.
With the help of the drowning gods and the sending of the waves, the Iron Fleet and the Mir, where the prince was located, soon appeared outside the port of Telossi.
Look at the 10-meter wave that suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea.
As well as dense warship groups.
The Tylosi warriors, who were preparing to sail out to meet the enemy, were all panicked, and as the alarm bell rang, the entire harbor was in chaos!
"Three gods are above, we can't stop such a huge wave, run!"
"Going to die, going to die......"
"No, we can't run away......"
"Damn, what the hell is going on with these guys, why are their ships on the waves?"
"I recognize the flag of the sea monster on the sails, it is Greyjoy of the Sunset Country, they call themselves the people of the drowning gods, they have the protection of the sea, and we are doomed to die......"
Seen how the Iron Isles would attack Old Town.
Although the sea will protect the warship, Arthur does not want the huge waves to crash into the city and hurt too many innocent civilians: "Pastor Iren, can we stay at sea and not enter the city?"
"We should capture the warships and merchant ships of the Talosi. ”
Hearing the voice of the prince on the battleship next to him, the wet hair who presided over the magic nodding slightly, the sea water changed, and all the warships and merchant ships of the Telosi people in the port were suddenly lifted up by the waves, and they were on a level with the Iron Islands warships.
"Kill!"
With the help of the Drowned Priest who accompanied the ship, the fierce Iron Pirate jumped into the gang with the help of the seawater, and in the blink of an eye, boarded the warships and merchant ships of the Tailosi to slaughter.
Arthur sighed at the bandit behavior of the Iron Islanders, and hurriedly blessed his allies with light buffs and protection.
Guarded by the invulnerable Light.
As well as the Blessing of Strength buff, the Iron Warriors are completely tigers into the flock, killing the Tailosi people to the ground.
Looking at the constantly dying Telosi people, Arthur couldn't bear it: "Try to keep your mouth alive, we need a large population in Westeros!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, we have measure. ”
Hearing the prince's shout, the daughter of the sea monster, who jumped off the deck and was sent into the air by the sea, shook her head.
Westeros is indeed short of people everywhere, but the men of Telosi, they can't keep much alive, they will only snatch women back to have children.
The waves did not crash into the city.
In the chaotic Telosi Docks, someone began to organize defenses: "Don't be afraid, their waves are just a bluff!"
"Crossbowmen are here!"
"Send someone to gather the giant crossbow and catapult, and let's fight back immediately!"
Looking at the ant-like Telosi soldiers below, Iren and the other priests sneered, and with a slight wave of their hands, the ten-meter wave began to fall.
Then, the furious waves swooped down, flooding the entire dock in an instant, and the Telosi soldiers who tried to fight back were wiped out in one fell swoop!
With the help of Arthur's Light.
The Iron Folk quickly slaughtered the ships of Talosi, the sailors and soldiers of the merchant ships.
In the city, the soldiers who were mobilized and escaped the angry waves also began to quickly assemble giant crossbows and catapults.
"It's time to expand the victory!" the Queen of the Iron Islands raised her sword, "Let's storm the city of Telossi!"
The Mir didn't have a chance to fire, and everyone on board was watching the Iron Islanders wield, and Gawain and Lancelot, Ranmarok, and Tristan looked at each other, feeling very embarrassed.
Selena bumped two elbows and came back to her senses.
Unwilling to kill more in the city of Telosi, Arthur let out a long sigh and ordered, "Let's go too." ”
"Don't hurt the civilians, our target is the nobles and wealthy merchants of Telosi. ”
"The target is the nobles and wealthy merchants of Telosi!"
"Let's go!"
Ambrosius, who had been ordered by the prince to master the spells of the water system, immediately sent the excited sailors and soldiers to attack.
Looking at the chaotic docks that had been invaded by pirates, Gawain was a little embarrassed and said, "Your Highness, we don't know the location of the nobles and wealthy merchants of Telosi. ”
Arthur was a little speechless: "You won't recognize the mansions of nobles and wealthy merchants?"
Hearing this, the marksman Tristan immediately said: "Your Highness, I can recognize it, but it will take time to find out!"
"It doesn't matter, the last thing we lack is time. Arthur said.
Standing not far away, seeing that the prince was about to rush to the center of the city with a guard of more than 100 people, Asha Greyjoy immediately asked him what to do.
"His Highness Arthur is going to attack the center of Telosi, is there anyone willing to follow him to get a piece of the pie?!"
"Me!" "I!" "We!"
Since the Iron Isles partnered with Arthur, all the Iron Folk have made a fortune.
Following him in battle will give you protection and buffs of the Light, and the pirates know that following the prince will benefit the most.
The greedy Taylosis are mostly arrogant and noisy and flashy.
There are many mercenaries, slaves, and lovers in the city.
Money and women are all trophies that iron pirates like, and as one of the nine free trade city-states, there is no shortage of rich merchants in Telosi, there are slaves and women's branches, and there is no shortage of women.
If it was before.
The people of the Iron Islands would not, and would not dare to cross the Narrow Sea, to plunder Telosi.
But now with the protection of the drowning gods, the priests with divine magic, and the princes who have mastered the Holy Light to end the Winter War, they are willing to listen to the Queen of the Iron Islands and take the city with His Highness Arthur!
"The city hall is ahead!"
Because the prince, Dorne's maritime trade was thriving, and Nemelia's soldiers had come to Telosi to find out the place, and without the need for the volunteer Trista to find the way, the guide pointed out the political center of the city-state.
There's magic, there's light, there's magic.
Even though the mercenaries were everywhere and constantly counterattacked by the Telosi nobles and wealthy merchants, they did not encounter any obstacles.
The dock rushed out and pushed all the way sideways, and everyone captured the city hall in less than two hours!
Tryni, who didn't make much of a move, was a little depressed: "This kind of battle is too smooth. ”
Hearing her sister's words, Nemelia rolled her eyes.
Having participated in the Battle of Winter, seen magical creatures of great power, and powerless evil gods, she thought that such a smooth battle was the best.
"What else do you want?"
Tremier put away the dagger with reluctance: "I thought it would be a little difficult. ”
Arthur: "Don't be careless. ”
"Taking down the hall is the beginning, bringing in our captives, it's time to free the slaves of Telosi and judge the slave owners and slave traders. ”
The Queen of the Iron Islands smiled and asked the pirates to bring the two slave girls with them.
"Your Highness, please continue to bring us to fortune. ”
Arthur knew very well that his cooperation with the Iron Islands needed to be maintained, so he nodded helplessly and asked the two captured slave girls in Valyrian.
Soap, snow salt, cheap paper, printing, glassware, and other items were researched, and Arthur, the God of Wealth, was called the Prince of Fortune by Dorne for his generosity, and the Iron Islanders as the Iron Islanders as the Iron Islanders who should have taken home the Iron Islands.
In the nine free trade city-states that value commerce.
His name is just as loud.
Even the slave girls, who had heard the promise of freedom and money from the prince who had made the fortune of Dorne and the Iron Isles, immediately told them everything they knew as if they were pouring beans.
Giving a bag of golden dragons to the slave girl, Gawain immediately said, "Your Highness, let me go and get the damned slave owner and slave trader." ”
Asha shook her head: "Your Highness, slave owners and slave traders have a lot of guards, so let's deal with it." ”
Arthur: "No, there are a lot of mercenaries here, the Maharaja of Telosi has run away, he will definitely contact the nobles and wealthy merchants of Telosi to hatch a counterattack, I need iron warriors to maintain order." ”
"As for catching slave owners and slave traders. ”
"Can you leave this work to Gawain, Lancelot, Ranmarlock, and Tristan?"
"No problem, let's do it right away. ”
Scattered and looting civilians are easy to find the Telosis to attack, and the Iron Pirates are restrained by the queen and priests for their own benefit, but they are robbers who can easily maintain order in the city, but they can't do this job very well.
At night, blood flowed all over the noisy city.
"Damn, the city is blocked, the sea is also blocked by those Iron Isles pirates, we can't leave Telosi at all!"
Escaping from the center of the city, the Lord of Telosi did not dare to return to his mansion, and only took more than 200 guards to hide in the civilian area.
A nobleman who had quietly come to look for the Maharaja heard the words and said in a deep voice: "That Arthur Saint Laurain is sending people to hunt down slave owners and slave traders. ”
"Telosi belongs to us, and as the Maharaja, he should not run away. ”
"Everybody thinks so!"
Hearing what the nobleman said, the face of the Lord of Telosi became even more ugly, which was to make him fight Arthur and Asha to the death.
"But... That Arthur Holy Loren is a child of light, a transcendent, and those Drowned priests of the Iron Isles can control the seas... Ordinary people are not their opponents at all......"
The nobleman said, "We also have transcendentals!"
The Maharaja was immediately overjoyed: "Really?"
However, he calmed down in a blink of an eye: "It's not enough to have transcendentals, but also to recruit mercenaries to deal with those pirates." ”
The nobleman said, "We will pay." ”
When the Maharaja heard this, he immediately thought that his family was mainly engaged in the slave business, and Arthur was the fiancé of the Dragon Queen who freed slaves in Slave Bay, and he captured slave owners and slave traders, and he must learn from his fiancée and free the slaves in Telosi.
"How much can you give?"
The nobleman said in a deep voice: "Until they are driven away!"
"Mercenaries and transcendents are not enough. The Maharaja smiled and said meaningfully, "I don't have much confidence in fighting head-to-head with the Child of Light who is like that legendary hero, and the Priest who controls the flooding of the sea. ”
The nobleman frowned suddenly: "What more do you want? Don't go too far!"
"I took a big risk after all. ”
The Maharaja, who rose to the throne by means of threats and bribery, said in a deep voice, "After driving them out, you must continue to support me as the Maharaja, and if you fail, you must swear to ensure the safety and prosperity of my family and wife!"
"And, to be on the safe side, we should also hire a killer to assassinate Arthur Divine Laurain. ”
The nobleman frowned: "Assassination?"
"Yours are very thoughtful, as long as you repel all the enemies, you will always be the Monarch of Telosi, as for defeat, we may not be spared, so you must succeed!"
..... To be continued......
A new volume, March to Essos, is about to start the Wars of Religion.
