Chapter 613: Assassination "King"

The King of Iron Island fell into the water with a pop, and disappeared into the sea under the action of inertia, and the cold saltwater seeped into his clothes through every crevice on his body to make intimate contact with his skin, making him relive the biting cold in an instant.

Angry and unable to open his mouth, Euron wanted to laugh.

Unlike the cowards of the Green Lands, the Iron Folk are always as armed as possible in naval battles - in the culture of the archipelago, those who die in the sea can go directly to the drowning palace of the gods to have a feast, so they are more afraid of jumping on an enemy ship and not winning a broadside battle than if they drown after falling into the water due to heavy armor.

Raven's Eye wears Valyrian steel armor.

The density of tile steel is only one-third of that of iron, but the physical properties are far more than the latter, and only half the thickness is needed to achieve the same protective effect, and the combination of two factors leads to the fact that the weight of tile steel armor is usually only four to one-fifth of that of iron armor.

Although this figure is not exaggerated enough to carry the wearer to float on the water, due to the combined effect of the buoyancy of the human body itself and the cavity between the armor and clothing, he will not be like a person who has fallen into the water in iron armor...... Sink straight to the bottom of the sea.

Holding his breath, Euron threw away his tomahawk to lighten his weight, and used his limbs together, swimming like a frog towards the water.

Before his head came out of the water and he didn't have time to take a breath, the "Invincible Iron Grade" behind him exploded.

The incessant shelling had made almost everyone on the battlefield familiar with the sound of "boom", but this one was different: if the sound of artillery was just a muffled thunder far away in the sky, which made the hearts of those who heard it tremble and chrysanthemums tightened, the explosion of the powder kegs piled up in the two cabins was a hammer on the head—the kind that was right in the ear.

On the vast ocean at the mouth of the Blackwater River, thousands of ships of all kinds and tens of thousands of soldiers from the Seven Kingdoms were fighting each other, fighting each other, or rushing towards the enemy in boats...... But even the sailors of the Royal Stannis fleet, who were fighting for their lives against the Unsullied two or three miles away, were tingling in their ears by the terrifying loud noise.

Countless people stopped the work or battle they were doing and looked in the direction of the source of the sound, only to see that at the core of the first battle column of the Iron Fleet, the "Invincible Iron Seed" was surrounded by three huge longships, including the "Tranquility", and two huge fireballs appeared in the middle as if they were leaking from the side - under the action of the huge amount of gas from the rapid combustion and expansion of black powder, the thick and sturdy wooden shell of this sea-making longship was easily cracked, squeezed and exploded like an egg falling to the ground. Blowing away, under the action of the shock wave visible to the naked eye, the whole ship was broken into two sections, the rear section was blown out more than ten meters away before tumbling and capsizing and began to sink, while the front section was embedded in each other's hull because of the collision angle with the Tranquility, so it hung in front of it, so that all the impact force it suffered through the front angle of attack and then acted on the Tranquility, as if the second collision was launched, and the gap was torn open on the latter's blood-red hull with a loud sound.

For the audience in the distance, no matter how loud and deafening the explosion was, no matter how loud and shocking the fireball was, it just made their eardrums hurt, their eyes sour, and they stood still for a moment.

But the people near the explosion point were not so comfortable, Euron felt as if he had been thrown into a rolling barrel filled with water, and the waves of air generated by the explosion blew the surrounding sea in all directions, pushing away and squeezing the surrounding sea in all directions, and the King of Iron Island who was caught in it only felt that the sky was spinning, and the freezing water hit his face fiercely, pouring into his nose and mouth. He struggled and choked, he didn't know where he was, where his head and feet were...... The astonishing physical fitness given to him by the potion seemed so small and vulnerable in the face of the power of large-scale chemical reactions, in the boundless chaos and panic, Euron relied on his years of water, wisely chose to give up resistance and move with his feelings, and finally after suffocating for half a minute, he briefly poked out of the water in the stormy waves that gradually subsided, he spat out the stagnant water, gasped for breath, and danced desperately with his palms to grab a piece of wood that had just flown over and hit his back, and hugged him like the love of his life, looking at the scene in front of him with an unbelievable look。

This is not wildfire.

If it was that strange liquid, I was afraid that there would be traces of flames everywhere on this sea at this moment, and my lungs would be burned to char the moment I floated up and took the first breath.

The "Invincible Iron Grade" that he jumped out of a moment ago no longer exists, and the second half of the flight out is dozens of meters away, and the tail is turning and simmering downward, but the front half is hanging in front of the "Tranquility" that has withstood the impact of a small semi-explosion, and the weight of thousands of pounds has dragged the latter's hull to the point that its head is sinking and its tail is upturned - this degree of tilt would not have posed a fatal threat to a large ship like the "Tranquility", but the latter has been torn open a crack in the bow of the ship in the previous collision with each other.

The weight of the half bow of the "Invincible Iron Breed" just pressed the large hole in the hull under the water, and the sea water poured into the hull frantically, increasing the draft of the ship while aggravating the water leakage, and the reciprocation constituted a vicious circle of death.

With just one glance, Euron judged that it was a matter of time before the ship sank.

Of the two friendly warships that approached...... the "Nightcrawler" was slightly smaller, and at the time of the explosion, it tried to jump ship on the side of the "Invincible Iron", but unfortunately withstood the air wave and was blown over, while the "Hongyang Troll" survived with its larger size and slightly longer distance, but was also pushed far away, still shaking violently from side to side.

Directly above the explosion point, a hundred-foot-tall column of smoke was still tumbling and rising into the sky, like erecting a huge pale tombstone for Victor Greyjoy and his ship, who had long since died in the dragon's mouth......

Exercise!

Of course, he wasn't dead yet, but the Iron Fleet, which was arrayed for miles wide, didn't know that they would only see the Tranquility take a terrifying blast and sink to the bottom!

Against the undulating waves, he struggled to swim towards the nearest intact ship, the "Hongyang Troll", but only a dozen meters away, the abnormal ripples from the water surface aroused his idea, and Euron turned his head to look around, and found that someone was swimming towards him.

For a moment, he thought that this was his surviving subordinate, but then he reacted, the soldiers of the Tranquility were all dressed in full armor, and it was impossible for them to float on the surface of the water after falling into the water, this was the killer who came at him!

The trapped beast was still fighting, and being surrounded and in danger suddenly activated the fighting intent and killing desire that Euron had just been blown away, and he swam towards the nearest man with angry eyes and roars: "You want to kill me, just try it!"

Probably timid, or perhaps self-defeating, the man he was targeting did not hesitate to turn around and swim in the opposite direction. The surrounding water was covered with debris and debris from the explosion, and Euron chased it so attentively and quickly that when someone approached from under the water and touched his leg, he thought it had hit some half-sinking piece of garbage......

It wasn't until the man grabbed his ankle and tried to pull him down the water that he came to his senses.

He didn't believe that anyone who came here was so watery, and could dive in the icy waters and approach him from below, and it must be his good niece Asha Greyjoy!

"Good time!" he roared and plunged into the water, twisting and throwing himself to the soles of his feet.

Asha's water nature is slightly stronger than herself, coupled with the advantages of her body shape and lack of heavy armor, she is definitely more flexible than herself in the sea, but no matter how good her water nature is, as long as he is caught by himself, he can break her slender neck in half a second!

He reached for the arm that was pulling his leg, but instead of the person he had imagined, he felt a strong rope around his ankle...... There must have been some kind of weight tied to the other end, which looked heavy even in the water, and dragged him to the bottom with great speed.

Bastard!

Uron cursed in the murky waters, but only spat out a few bubbles, his clad hands unable to untie the knots in the water, so he immediately reached for his boot on his right foot, where his spare weapon was attached, a very light but sharp Valyrian steel dagger, just enough to cut the rope and save him from the danger he was in now.

Well?

Where is it?

Did you lose it just after falling into the water?

But it's obviously plugged in tightly!

He snapped back to the foreign object he had kicked in his boots a moment earlier...... It was the little female cousin who pulled out the dagger in the chaos!
