On the ocean directly east of the Red Fort, the decisive battle between the entire naval forces of the old and new dynasties was in full swing, and a little south, the third party that had not yet participated in the war was also keeping an eye on the battle between the first two.

The Iron Folk temporarily have the largest fleet in the entire known world, but the foundation is very weak...... Even though he already had the victory in his hands, Euron still wanted to continue to wait, waiting for the time to maximize the benefits of the fish.

The dragon was still nowhere to be seen, and the Stannis fleet was heading for Daenerys' naval column as expected...... The center has been mixed with its strikers, and the flanks are about to take shape. Anyone with a little military common sense can see that this battle situation is like Daenerys punching into Stannis's open cloth bag, and being caught against three enemies on the one hand, will continue to shrink and retreat to the center under the instinct, if you can't evacuate the battlefield or break forward, the end will be squeezed together without suspense, completely annihilated.

The Queen's fleet responded by this: the center of the front began to spread and maneuver to the north and south, changing the shape of the entire fleet from the original long strip to a figure of "ten", and then stretching out the two twisted and weak wings to the left and right and then rushing forward, finally tearing the fleet into a somewhat strange "Ψ" shape.

To be honest, Euron couldn't understand what it was doing.

Is it trying to rely on the two improvised wings to counter-encircle Stannis's fleet?

But the time and the number of ships are completely insufficient.

Was it a hasty response in an emergency, trying to rescue an already trapped striker?

It seems to be so, but it would have been nice to know that this would have been done from the beginning. What are you playing by first sending the striker into danger as cannon fodder, and then pulling the formation in a panic to save it, lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot?

Could it be that it is a special formation designed to deal with the enemy on both sides?

But Ren Yulun couldn't figure it out when he looked at it horizontally or vertically: how would the Queen's fleet, which had already become a mess with Stannis's navy, deal with the next big attack of the Iron Fleet?

......

"Boom~"

The front line had been fought in a group, and in order to avoid accidental damage, several gunboats in the center of the Queen's fleet had ceased fire, but the silence did not last for two minutes before it was broken by the deafening sound of volleys.

It wasn't until he heard the exclamations of the crew, turned his head to see the water fingers pointing, and followed their gaze to see the large ripples and splashes on the side of the ship, that Euron came to his senses: the other party turned around and began to bombard his own fleet!

Looking for death?

A fierce light flashed in the blue eyes that had never been blindfolded, and the evil thoughts and murderous desires that had been suppressed and dormant by Zhi suddenly awakened.

Ben wanted to let the enemy live a little longer, but since they were desperate to die, I would fulfill them!

"Command, full speed ahead! Regardless of whether he Stannis or Daenerys' ship...... Don't take prisoners today!"

The battle horns, which were even more dull than the royal fleet, sounded from one ship to another, and in the blink of an eye, the horns of the entire iron fleet were blown, some of them were self-made by the islanders, but more were the spoils of war snatched in the process of plundering the Seven Kingdoms, they came from all over the world, so the size and timbre were also different. Suddenly, the entire Blackwater Bay seemed to be soaked in whining or high-pitched sounds one after another...... Hearing this, the battleships of the Iron Folk began to accelerate suddenly, pulling a wide horizontal formation that was about to be measured in length, and rushed violently towards the two fleets of dragons and deer that had been fought in the north.

Euren has the qualifications to be arrogant, although there are not as many as the claimed thousand, but there are indeed more Iron Folk ships participating in the war today than Stannis and Daenerys combined...... Hundreds!

For the first two kings, who were both admired and recognized, this naval battle may have been part of the battle for King's Landing, but for the Iron Isles and Raven-Eyed Eulon, it was a battle that gambled on the "fortunes of the country" and truly appeared in front of the world and revealed their ambitions.

Not only did he have to win this battle, but he also had to make a victory that shook the Seven Kingdoms and even the two sides of the Narrow Sea.

And there's no better way to do that than by annihilating Stannis and Daenerys' fleets in a single battle!

Euron didn't dare to hope that he could fully achieve this goal, but now that Stannis's fleet was sparing no effort to attack, and the little queen's navy was in a daze, a golden opportunity was in front of him!

Hundreds of bows cleaved the blue water, and directly in front of them, the queen's strange battle formation, which seemed to be defending against the Iron People, was bloated and unresponsive: the front formation, caught in a close melee with the royal fleet, the middle formation, half trying in vain to rescue the front formation, half maneuvering in a panic, and the rear formation was barely in a state of engagement facing the south...... However, with the entire fleet unable to fight against the Iron Fleet, how long could this one-third of the ships hold on?

The huge array enveloped the fiercely contested Sandpiper in the field like a giant fishing net, because there were so many boats that the Iron Folk could not only easily outflank them on both wings - but also the Stannis and Daenerys fleets, and the fastest light longship to backstab them in the back. The battle seemed to be unsuspenseful, but the attackers still did not dare to be careless. Whether it was the small but powerful fleet of Icefjord Harbor created by the cooperation between the North and the Night's Watch, or the astonishing rumors that the land grant army on the banks of the Blackwater River had broken hundreds and thousands a few days ago, it made them feel a big alarm in their hearts.

The Iron Isles have suffered several dumb losses from that damn Night's Watch, and this time the ship must not capsize again!

The decks of the fleet's ships were filled with sailors running around - handing out buckets, wet cloths and shields. The explosive bombs and wildfires used by the defenders of the Great Wall have left a deep impression and a huge psychological shadow on the Iron People, and if they encounter them again this time, at least they have made targeted preparations for these two killing weapons.

As the sun began to sink in the west, the great shadow of the high hills of Aegon began to change from a small mass on the shore to a long, narrow greatsword, spreading from west to east at an astonishing speed, threatening to overwhelm the first warband in the fierce battle. Under constant artillery fire, the Iron Fleet approached Daenerys' fleet. The other party obviously also saw the identity of the flagship of the "Tranquility", and also focused on taking care of this terrifying warship with black sails and red shells in the indiscriminate artillery fire, the hull of the ship had already been hit by a shell, but Euron still stood in the bow without fear, directing the fleet's attack without changing his face.

Euron couldn't let people see how embarrassed he was hiding from the shelling.

With the morale and heat of this rabble led by him, there is probably a little wind and grass and something wrong, and there will be a crisis of collapse in an instant.

The Queen's fleet, whose formation had been stirred up by Stannis, pulled the ships in the rear to the south of the entire fleet with great difficulty, and arranged a thin array against the Iron Fleet, which was dozens of large ships captured from the Valantis Armada, each of which had a tonnage not inferior to the Serenity, and it was quite deterrent at a glance in a horizontal formation, and if the crew was really replenished, it would not be able to withstand its first attack, but only to wait for the two wings to be encircled......

Throwing the huge axe from one hand to the other, relying on this boring repetition to curb the manic and bloodthirsty impulses in his heart at the moment, he scanned the row of ships that the Queen's fleet had met and prepared to pick out the most unlucky one to deal with himself.

His pupils dilated—and he suddenly saw a longship that looked familiar.

The two hundred feet long black streamlined hull, the huge mast of one person hugging each other, the hundreds of long oars, and the deck large enough for two or three hundred people to stand...... Plus a huge steel ram at the bow of the ship without any fancy fancy. Although it is still a longship in shape, it is designed and built with more in mind about combat and sea domination than plunder.

There are such large ships everywhere, but there are only a handful of giant longships in the whole world in this shape.

Even if it turned to ashes, it was impossible for Euron not to recognize it: this was the ship of his younger brother Victor Leon Greyjoy who had been sent out of the Iron Islands for Meereen by himself, and died at the Dragon's Flame for blowing the dragon's horn.

Will his stupid brother come back from the dead to be his enemy, or will any bastard dare to touch his own head at this juncture and provoke himself with this obnoxious ship?
