The Bizarre Adventure of the Warhammer Elves

Chapter 314 The Battle of Lannisport
"You said that the Iron Fleet of the Greyjoy family has appeared overseas, are you sure?"

In the only castle on Fairy Island, the Earl of Fairy Island, Sebaston Farman, was holding a glass of wine blankly at the moment, looking at the boy who came to report the news, and couldn't believe his ears.

Although Fairy Island is not a rich and powerful island, but because it needs to face the looting from the iron people pirates all the year round, all the men have received military training, and they can be called tough.

In addition, Lannisport is only less than two hours away by boat from Fairy Island, so most of the people who come to Fairy Island are little pirates who grab and run, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

But if the Iron Fleet of the Greyjoy family came to Fairy Island in person, the situation would be completely different!

Thinking of this, Sebaston put down the wine glass in his hand with a heavy face, and shouted to the few knights and bachelors in the castle:
"Immediately find out the identities and strength of those invading fleets, and at the same time send ravens to Lannisport, asking them to send a fleet to assist us in repelling the invading enemies!"

"As ordered!"

The knights also realized the seriousness of the problem, so they returned to their fiefs as quickly as possible, preparing to gather the peasants into the city for refuge as soon as possible, and distribute weapons to them at the same time.

That's right, although Fairy Island is just an ordinary island similar in size to Bear Island, several villages on the island are still granted to meritorious knights in order to show off.

Seeing the backs of the knights gradually going away, Sebaston sat on the seat in the hall with a heavy face, then slammed the wine glass on the ground and cursed:
"Damn it, don't those barbarians want to stage another Greyjoy rebellion in delusion, dare to openly violate the peace treaty, aren't they afraid of being retaliated by the Iron Throne?!"

Since the Greyjoy rebellion decades ago was defeated by the coalition led by Robert, the Iron Islands had to humiliately sign a [Non-Aggression Treaty] with the Western Territory, and the fleet was not allowed to appear in the Western Territory waters.

And now that the treaty is broken, it is very likely that it is a signal of war coming!
Recalling the past when Fairy Island was captured by the ironmen several times in history, and members of the Farman family were raped, humiliated, and plundered, Sebaston couldn't help trembling slightly, and finally turned into a deep sigh :

"Now I can only hope that the Lannisters in Lannisport can take into account their past friendship and send a fleet to support them as soon as possible."

——Two hours later, Lannisport
However, Sebaston, who was having trouble sleeping and eating at this time, probably would never know that the Iron Fleet did not regard his Fairy Island as the main threat to the Eastern Expedition at all, but just a snack that could be eaten in turn.

Although the ravens from Fair Isle might make Lannisport a little wary, Victarion, the commander of the Iron Fleet, didn't care about it.

Their target has always been Lannisport, one of the most important trading ports in Westeros, and the Lannister fleet moored in the port!
ding ding ding...

On the Invincible Ironborn, the crew on the watchtower suddenly began to shake the bell in their hands, and at the same time shouted to the crew below:
"It's Lannisport! The Lannister family's fleet doesn't seem to have left the port yet, and the gates of the city are still open!"

"Great, these bastards from the western region are defenseless now!"

"Commander Victarion, give the order for a full-scale attack. Let us use blood and sharp blades to help these weak lambs remember your heroic appearance in the surprise attack on Lannisport!"

Upon hearing that Lannisport was now undefended, the surrounding crew members excitedly waved their weapons and looked excitedly at the majestic figure standing at the bow.

As the crew of the Invincible Ironborn, a large part of them are actually survivors of the Greyjoy rebellion, and they also witnessed the legendary Lannis Port surprise attack.

But now, the overall strength of the Iron Fleet has been several times that of before, so it is fully capable of launching another epic surprise attack!
Looking at the excited iron warriors around him, Victarion also felt his emotions were mobilized, so he couldn't help raising the battle ax in his hand and shouted:
"The long-awaited moment has finally arrived, and now we are once again standing on this familiar sea, just to prove that those comrades who died here did not die in vain!

In order to once again reveal the ideal of the Seastone, and also to achieve the 'Drowned God', Lannisport, we are back again! "

"Oooooooo-"

Hearing Victarion's provocative cry, the surrounding iron warriors raised their weapons and roared excitedly, and even the Pendor soldiers on other battleships also cheered.

Although they couldn't hear Victarion's speech clearly because of the distance, seeing everyone shouting, they naturally need meaning, right~
The cries of the Ironborn covered the sky and the sun, and the whole sea seemed to be pierced with low cries like sea monsters, which immediately frightened many fishing boats in Lannisport.

woo-

The movement of hundreds of warships appearing on the sea naturally attracted the attention of the watchtower in Lannisport. With a bleak siren horn coming from the watchtower, the port guard immediately began to act:

"Quick, quick, the archers immediately boarded the city wall for cover, and at the same time seized the time to push the trebuchet out of the warehouse. We don't have much time to waste!"

"Don't let the fleet hide in the port and wait to die, let the crew board the ship immediately, and prepare for the sea battle under the cover of the coastal defense force!"

Facing the hundreds of Ironborn warships on the sea, Lannisport did not experience any breakdown of order due to panic, and instead started an orderly evacuation operation.

The people and merchants were taking refuge in the city under the cover of the Lannister soldiers in red robes. The crew members also returned to their warships one after another, and Yang Fan set sail to fight against the Iron Fleet in the distance.

On the city wall, thousands of Lannister standing troops in red heavy armor are holding sharp spears and ornate shields, with no fear on their weather-beaten faces.

As the well-trained Lannisport garrison team, the Lannister family equipped them with the best weapons and equipment in the whole continent, even the garrison teams of King's Landing and Old Town couldn't compare.

The fleet of the Lannister family is also famous in the sea for its large number. After the humiliation caused by Victarion's surprise attack decades ago, this fleet finally recovered the terror of nearly two hundred warships. quantity.

Not long after, Kevan Lannister, Lord of Lannisport and younger brother of Tywin Lannister, Duke of the Western Territory, appeared on the city wall wearing armor, and frowned as he watched the Iron Fleet in the distance:
"It turns out that all of them are large warships over [-] meters in size, and the style also uses an unprecedented combination of sail hulls and catapults. Where can the backcountry of the Iron Islands get the money to build such a fleet?"

In order to curb the development of the Iron Islands, merchant ships in the western region have basically never exported any high-quality wood that can be used to build warships to the Iron Islands, so the ironmen usually can only cut down trees from the northern region and the bay.

According to his elder brother Tywin's expectations, the Iron Islands' fleet would soon have to use old and outdated longships due to lack of sufficient wood and excellent blacksmiths, which would eventually lead to a decline in combat effectiveness.

The reason why Tywin has allocated funds to the Lannister fleet in recent years is that he hopes that one day he can fly the red lion battle flag over the Iron Islands, and wash away the shame of the fleet's destruction in a sneak attack.

But now, after witnessing the cutting-edge warships of the Iron Fleet, Kevan immediately realized that his brother's efforts over the years seemed to be in vain.

With such a large and well-equipped fleet, it doesn't look like it lacks wood and blacksmiths at all. Hey...

Looking at the fleet on the sea in the distance, Kevan's eyes inevitably flashed a touch of coldness. It seems that after so many years, the Greyjoy family seems to have forgotten the roar of the lion.

Since these Iron Islands fleets dare to invade the territorial waters of the Western Territory, then prepare to be wiped out by the Lannister fleet!
"The Lannister fleet is not a vegetarian lion. They ordered the entire fleet to dispatch. The family has spent so much money on them. It's time to prove their role."

Following Kevan's order, nearly two hundred warships began to raise their sails one after another, and at the same time speed up the speed of sliding their oars, rushing towards the iron fleet fully powered by sails in the distance.

Although in terms of experience, the sailors of the Lannister family may not be as brave and good at fighting as the ironborn of the Greyjoy family, but this does not mean that their strength is weaker than ordinary sailors.

Rumbling--

The trebuchet began to roar continuously, and huge rocks flew out of the Lannister fleet, shooting towards the iron fleet that was not within range in the distance.

Regardless of their actual combat experience, at least in terms of momentum, the huge Lannister fleet can easily crush the entire Iron Fleet.

Seen from a high altitude, the fleet of the Lannister family looked like a lion with its jaws wide open, wanting to swallow the fleet of the Greyjoy family!
"Are you going to use the number of trebuchets to suppress our firepower? It's really naive as expected to bring the land battle style into the sea battle."

However, in the face of this situation, Victarion did not show any signs of panic. Instead, he looked at the Lannister fleet that was rapidly approaching the Iron Fleet with great interest, and taunted:

"Hey, do you still dare to come here? Instead of hiding in the port, instead of taking the initiative to come over to my side, then come a little closer!"

"Commander, what tactics shall we adopt next?"

"Tactics? Who do you think I am, put all the boats over there!"

"Huh?!"

"Since they want to take advantage of the number of trebuchets, they will directly let all the ships enter the gang battle. I want to see if they dare to smash together with their own warships!"

Seeing the Lannister fleet gradually approaching within range in the distance, Victarion had a bloodthirsty smile on his face, and then he raised his battle ax and shouted to the crew behind him:
"Launch the trebuchet, let me open the sails to the maximum, let us lead the battle, and all the warships will come alongside me!"

"Ouch!"

After receiving Victarion's order, all the fleets of the Iron Fleet rushed towards the Lannister fleet at the fastest speed, and the eyes of all the Ironborn were full of dark red murderous intent.

Seeing the Invincible Ironborn rushing forward, every ironborn captain felt as if there was a sea monster churning in their hearts stirring their heartstrings.

However, with the increase of the speed of the ship and the waves caused by the boulder falling into the water, even a sailing warship with a length of [-] meters will inevitably start to bump into bumps.

"vomit……"

"Damn it, why are you in such a panic, isn't this broken ship about to fall apart?"

"At first I thought I could make some achievements on the battlefield, but I didn't expect to fall into this kind of turmoil. I knew I wouldn't come, vomit..."

In the cabin, the panicked Pande soldiers heard the sound of splashing water and felt the constant shaking of the wooden hull, and couldn't help shivering with fear.

After all, since the continent of Pendor had basically been unified, and the only resistance force of the Noldor was huddled in the Black Forest and refused to come out, there was no need to train a large number of navies.

Under such circumstances, most of these Pendor soldiers were native-born inlanders. Although they learned to swim due to Rohan's mandatory requirements, they were of no use in such a fierce naval battle!
Faced with this situation, many Pendor soldiers touched the silver cross pendant with a faint light on their waists, and began to close their eyes and pray devoutly to Lady Misty.

They are willing to sacrifice their lives and souls for Ms. Misty, but if they are buried in the belly of fish just because of poor water quality, that would be too embarrassing!

A soldier who couldn't swim couldn't help but cautiously came to another Pendor warrior wearing dark silver full-body plate armor, and asked in a low voice:
"Dear Brother Roland, can Lady Misty really protect us from sinking into the bottom of the sea?"

Hearing the uneasiness in the soldier's words, the combat monk known as Roland couldn't help but look up at the soldier, and then comforted in a gentle voice:

"You can sit safely in the cabin now, isn't it a symbol of Lady Misty's blessings for you?"

"But monk, I just heard someone say that several warships seem to have been sunk, and they were buried in the sea without even seeing the enemy's face. Wouldn't that be a little too sad?"

"Sad? They sacrificed themselves for the great expedition of the Mist Lady. Isn't it a handsome thing for a man to sacrifice himself for something he believes in?"

Seeing the Pendor soldiers who were gradually calming down around them, Roland silently took out a "Sacred Book of Mists" from his waist, and then continued to introduce in a soft voice:
"Since you are all so scared, let me explain to you some details about the holy scriptures..."
