Chapter 0498: Naval Battle: Night Attack

The sea is not calm at any time.

This is still true late at night.

When the heavens and the earth slept, neither did the sea sleep.

Waves, sea breezes, and sprays are surging all the time.

But for the mercenaries who are blown by the wind, they are accustomed to falling asleep to the surging of the waves.

Especially on the night after the celebration.

The new Wind Blowing Regiment is very powerful, so powerful that apart from the Golden Knights, there is no second mercenary group that can match their numbers.

Prince Ragged, like his brothers, quickly recovered from the frustration of defeat, and they were unable to storm Dragonstone, but Dragonstone did not have a ship to go to sea.

When they got the news of the attack on King's Landing and set off, the defenders of Dragonstone without ships could not attack them from behind.

Although they failed to take Dragonstone, they also achieved a good record because they robbed all the boats on Dragonstone, including the fishing boats from the fishing villages on the nearby islands.

The Ragged Prince and his brothers believe that the contract is still valid.

It is very difficult for any mercenary group to continue to receive business as long as it breaks the contract once, although the most powerful Golden Knights often do things that break the contract.

The Ragged Prince valued the honor of the wind-blown contract above all else.

He had received definite information that King's Landing's royal fleet consisted of no more than sixty warships, and that the largest flagship, the Warhammer, was not in the harbor, but had sailed out of Blackwater Bay to the bay of the East Sea of the Great Wall.

So after a few days of celebration, both the Ragged Prince and his brothers relaxed.

They had three hundred ships.

Three hundred to sixty, anyone can figure out who is superior and who is inferior.

As long as the legions of the Golden Knights move north from Storm's End, their fleets will move west at the same time, all targeting King's Landing.

The Ragged Prince slept soundly, and his guards, the new breezy brethren, the old brethren, were drunk and fell into a deep sleep.

The only Dragonstone defenders who could threaten them would not be able to attack them across the water, so the brethren of the vigilance ship joined in the carnival celebrations.

Alcoholism is a common trait among mercenaries.

As soon as they relax, there are only two things they like most: wine and women. If there are no women on the sea, there is only one thing left: wine.

When two fleets appeared at the same time in the north and west, on the sea of night, no one noticed this.

The two fleets came to a cautious halt in the distance, and then numerous small boats were lowered from their ships, laden with soldiers with shining swords.

The soldiers were lightly armoured, without armor, which made them as light as swallows, and they jumped into the water to save their lives if necessary, protected only by a small shield.

Several other warships sailed into the port of Dragonstone, and the defenders of Dragonstone Island, who had been waiting here for a long time, under the leadership of Bolong, Timei, Qila, Xia Ga and others, boarded the battleships one after another and rushed towards the Fengshui warships in the open sea.

The fleet to the west is the royal fleet that has poured out of the nest, and the supreme commander is Eddard Stark, and by his side stands the fearless Barristan Selmy, who has risen from the dead and suffered heavy losses, but his swordsmanship is still not comparable to that of ordinary knights.

Bran Stark and Icewolf Summer were also eyeing Eddard's side, as well as Brienne of Tarth and Hale Hunter, the Knight of Riverlands, a fleet of sixty royal ships that brought four thousand black-armored troops without black armor.

The garrison of King's Landing was almost overwhelming, and the leader of the legion was Jory Kesso, who had just been promoted to knighthood. - Former Eddard Stark's captain of the guard.

However, the fleet from the north is only thirty, this is a small fleet, and most of the warships are large merchant ships, and there is no naval army in the north, which is a shortcoming.

Thirty warships, led by Carter Pike, the commander of the East Sea Lookout, a guy who has been swimming in the sea since he was a few years old and became a member of the pirate team before he was ten years old, and the deputy leader is Jon Snow. Two thousand five hundred warriors, two thousand of whom were the most elite mixed legions in the North—including the elite knights and soldiers of almost every lord—and the other five hundred were from the Great Wall and the mixed ranks of the surrendered Iron People, including twelve of the guards of Victor Leon, the commander-in-chief of the Iron Fleet, who had been subdued by Jon Snow.

The night raid legion sent from Dragonstone Island was only a thousand people, and Tyrion, the commander of Dragonstone's legion, had no intention of sending all his legions out, he was not a person who liked to be greedy for merit, and sent a thousand warriors to the naval battle, he thought that the number was enough.

Dragon crystal mining on Dragonstone had resumed just as the Ragged Prince ordered the fleet to stay away from Dragonstone.

Countless black crystals are mined in a steady stream and crafted into sharp arrows and short daggers in the weapons workshop.

Mining dragon crystals and crafting them into weapons is Tyrion's main task.

A thousand professional miners were only responsible for the underground mining, and the work of making it was given to the soldiers of the Legion.

Without war, they are workers in the arms workshop.

It is not easy to make arrowheads and daggers from Dragon Crystal, but once you master the method passed down by the Children of the Forest, it is too simple.

And Clenn the Green and Fred the Gold know how to make these methods that have been passed down from generation to generation.

The Native warriors of the Vale were split into shifts by Tyrion, working around the clock to craft Dragoncrystal weapons. Even at the critical moment of tonight's naval battle, the weapons workshop at Dragonstone Castle was still busy.

Tyrion just took the green-clothed Clen and the gold-clothed Fred to look out from the seaside.

He wasn't interested in going to naval battles, and although it was exciting, and while both Cren Green and Fred Goldenfold were eager to try it, Tyrion would try to avoid fighting.

Unlike Tyrion, Carter Pike and Jon Snow were the first to climb onto the enemy's flagship.

The four flagship ships stood out in the shimmering waters of the sea, and the lights on board indicated the direction of the attack.

Small boats can freely navigate the gaps of hundreds of large ships, silently in the shadow of large ships.

Carter Pike and Jon Snow each climbed aboard a flagship.

Thus began the massacre.

Carter Pike's two-handed sword, leading the rangers from the Great Wall of Desperation and a group of surrendered iron people, raised the sword that harvested life, which is the scythe of death.

The pop of a sword stabbing into the heart and slicing the throat kept ringing out.

The bloody gas suddenly drifted into the air.

This made the eyes of Carter Pike and his men shine even brighter, like sharpened blades.

On the other side, Barristan and Bran Stark and Stark's guards also touched a flagship, followed by Brienne and Hale Hunt, while the commander of the garrison, Jory Kesso, led a hundred-man black-clad army to the flagship of the Ragged Prince.

The rest of the warriors chose their own ships and climbed up one after another.

There was no fire attack in this naval battle, because Carter Pike wanted more ships, and Eddard Stark agreed, and the North should have its own naval fleet.

Tyrion sent a thousand men for a piece of the pie: the warship!

In addition to retrieving the ships that were robbed of them, Dragonstone also needs more warships to arm itself.

Looting enemy ships is faster than building them yourself.
