Game of Thrones: Roar of the Dragon

Chapter 122: Destroying Three Cities with Effortless Effort

Quick, quick, quick!!!
Inside the gate of Tianji City, groups of soldiers from the Fleur family lined up in the parade ground behind the gate, urged by the battlefield supervisors.
Like a tide, it surged towards the giant steel dragon that broke into the city alone.

Ding Ding Ding!
No matter whether it was a long-range or melee weapon, it could only make a crisp sound when it hit Yangyan's steel armor.

The steel armor it is wearing now was tailor-made by the blacksmiths in King's Landing by melting down weapons and armor damaged in the war.

Both its thickness and hardness were far superior to the iron plate armor that was hastily built at Storm's End.

Hoo ho ho!
Ah!
Yang Yan, who did not need to defend, opened his dragon mouth and spewed orange-red dragon flames at the enemies surrounding him.

The soldiers of the Fleur family were ignited by the dragon flames in large numbers, and turned into struggling human-shaped torches.

Boom boom boom!
Behind Yang Yan, groups of vanguard soldiers carrying siege battering rams were constantly hitting the city gate, which still had most of it remaining.

In fact, when Yangyan broke into the city, some soldiers from the vanguard unit who wanted to grab the credit for entering the city tried to follow behind it.

But they were not dragons, and the high temperature dragon flames that continued to burn on the remaining city gates forced them to stop.

However, the city gate was damaged and there were no enemy soldiers blocking the gate from behind.

The bolt on the upper part of the gate alone could not stop them for long.

Run away!

However, before the vanguard troops could break down the city gate, the soldiers of the Fleur family who were besieging Yangyan in the city began to desert.

What was surprising was that the group of Martell family soldiers behind them who were supervising the battle just watched without taking any action.

One, two, three...

Two minutes later, the soldiers of the Fleur family completely collapsed and fled in all directions towards Tianji City.

Yang Yan, who was in high spirits, saw his prey escaping and immediately spewed dragon flames to chase it.

Rustling!

As Yangyan and the soldiers of House Fleur walked further away, figures rushed out from the buildings around the city gate under the command of Martell's war squad.

Bang!

The soldiers of the vanguard force finally broke open the remaining city gate. Eager to gain military merit and search for spoils, they shouted loudly and swarmed into the city gate passage.

呲呲呲!
As soon as they passed through the city gate and entered Tianji City, they were greeted by long spears shining with cold light.

The soldiers of the vanguard unit who were rushing to the front with excitement on their faces were completely unable to react. They were instantly pierced by the densely packed spears, leaving multiple bloody holes in their bodies, and fell to the ground.

Da da da!
Outside the city gate, a row of Martell family soldiers wearing yellow turbans and leather scale armor inlaid with copper heart plates retracted their blood-stained spears.

At the same time, a group of Hightower family soldiers holding kite shields ran in front of them and raised their shields, using a human shield wall to protect the Martell spearmen behind them.

Everyone in the Seven Kingdoms knows that Dorne's two most famous weapons are on the Martell family's crest, the sun and the spear!
The Martells' spearmen may be no match for the pain-free, fearless Unsullied legions.

But it was far beyond the reach of these vanguard soldiers, who were composed of a mixture of infantrymen from various major families.

Swish swish!
Using the shield soldiers of House Hightower as a barrier, this group of spearmen of House Martell blocked the passage to the city gate like some Spartan warriors in their previous lives.

The sharp spear in his hand continued to reap the lives of the enemies.

However, their number was only about six or seven hundred, while the nearly ten thousand vanguard soldiers outside Tianji City were rushing in like crazy waves.

Everyone will have times when their arms become sore and their physical strength is exhausted, and this war had only begun for less than twenty minutes.

Therefore, they were destined to be drowned in the sea of ​​soldiers of the vanguard troops, and Tianji City was destined to be breached by the ground coalition led by Stone.

In the tower before, Prince Coalen and Sir Hobart had disappeared without a trace.

They didn't know whether he had escaped or had something more important to do.

……

The rulers of Tor City are the Jordain family, who have an extremely glorious past.

Before Nymeria brought the Rhoynar to Dorne with 10,000 ships, they were the royal family of Dorne, and even the Martell family once pledged allegiance to King Jordayne.

Of course, the Qiao Dane family is now in decline, so there is no need to mention the past.

But as the former capital of King Jordan, the city of Thor naturally has strong walls and extraordinary defense capabilities.

And now, the landing battle between the Conqueror Fleet and Tor City has officially begun.

It is worth mentioning that due to the previous Red Keep Incident, the Velaryon Fleet has been incorporated into the Conqueror Fleet.

shhhhhh!
Whoohoo!
A large number of arrows and stones were shot towards the conqueror fleet from the walls of Tor City and the warships in the port area.

The Conqueror's fleet used all small warships for the attack this time, and each small warship was composed of more than twenty Unsullied and more than twenty Velaryon soldiers.

Driven by the sailors' full rowing, more than a hundred small warships were sailing forward at a very fast speed.

Doo doo doo!
Arrows fell from the sky like raindrops, covering the entire sea surface outside the port area of ​​​​Tor City.

Small warships have certain defensive capabilities, and most of the saturation arrow rain attacks hit the relatively solid hulls.

However, they were powerless to stop the huge stones thrown down from the city walls.

Whoohoo!
Pieces of stone as big as millstones came towards us with dull sounds of breaking through the air.

In fact, with the accuracy of the catapult, it is impossible to hit a warship sailing on the choppy sea with such precision.

But the Conqueror's fleet had too many small warships!

Clang, clang!
Stones carrying huge kinetic energy fell from the sky, directly smashing millstone-sized holes into the small warships of the Conqueror's fleet.

The boulders, with their kinetic energy weakened, even penetrated into the cabin, smashing the rowing Unsullied and Velaryon soldiers into bloody paste.

Ah!
When a Velaryon soldier turned around and saw his comrade beside him with only half of his body left after being smashed by a huge rock, he was so frightened that he collapsed and screamed.

But he continued to move his eyes forward, and on the other side, an Unsullied, his body splattered with blood, was paddling the boat without changing his expression.

Yup!

Instead of panicking uselessly, it is better to paddle as hard as you can to land early, so you will be more likely to survive!
The Velaryon soldier gradually calmed down and rowed hard again.

In this way, except for a very few small warships that were very unlucky and had their keels hit by huge rocks, the rest of the small warships still maintained a relatively fast sailing speed.

The attention of the defense forces of Tor City was immediately attracted to the group of small warships, and the firepower on the city walls and the port area began to concentrate on attacking them.

woohoo~~
The sound of a horn representing the entire army's attack came from the flagship of the Conqueror's fleet.

The large warships, which had no crossbows but were equipped with catapults, took this opportunity to advance into the attack range and began to show their fangs.

Whoohoo!
Dozens of specially made large wooden barrels on fire were thrown into the sky by ship-borne catapults, and then drew a parabola and smashed into the walls and interior of the city of Tor.

Bang bang bang!
Blah, blah!
One by one, specially made large wooden barrels hit the walls of Thor City or inside the city, and were immediately shattered by the force, splashing out a large amount of thick green liquid.

They were attracted by the burning fragments of the special wooden barrel and suddenly burned violently.

These were naturally the wildfire ointment produced on Lanark Island. When Jakaris left Midge Island, he specifically ordered Rudy to lead the fleet to retrieve them.

After several months, Mayor Urd had accumulated a considerable amount of wildfire ointment.

Now it is basically used here.

what! ! !
On the walls of Thor City and inside the city, green flames were burning one after another.

The soldiers of the Jordan family had never seen wildfire ointment, so they had no idea how terrifying it was.

Those soldiers of the Jordain family who tried to put out the fire were burned themselves, and then their flesh and blood were melted away by the horrific wildfire amid shrill screams.

"Ah! Save me, save me!"

"Ouch, it hurts so much, kill me, kill me!" "Ah!..."

As the Conqueror's fleet continued to drop those specially made large wooden barrels, riots caused by wildfires on the walls of Tor and within the city continued to rise and fall.

This directly reduced the pressure on the small warships that were advancing towards the port area.

However, as the distance got closer, the warships that were not affected by the wildfire and the soldiers of the Jordain family stationed in the port area began to attack fiercely.

Puff, puff!
At the stern of many of the Conqueror's small warships, a Velaryon soldier with a dagger in his mouth was taking off his armor.

When the order came, they immediately jumped into the sea like dumplings.

Hundreds of Valerian soldiers gathered together like a school of sardines, swimming forward in unison.

These people grew up by the sea and are all incredibly good at swimming.

Basically, they swim 20 to 30 meters in one breath before floating their heads above the water to take a short breath.

Soon, this group of Valerian water ghosts had sneaked near many enemy ships in the port area.

Bang, whoosh!
Wow!

A soldier from the Jordain family was pulling the bowstring to shoot arrows at the enemy's small warship, but he suddenly heard a sound of water coming out from behind him.

Tear!

When he turned his head and looked behind him, a wet Valerian water ghost had already pounced on him with a ferocious look on his face.

The soldier from the Jordain family didn't even have time to draw his bow and sword, and was directly slashed in the throat by the opponent's dagger.

This assassination scene not only took place on the warship, but many Valerian water ghosts also quietly sneaked into the port area.

Of course, where there is success there is also failure.

But they also succeeded in causing chaos, allowing their own small warships to land in the port area more smoothly.

Bang bang bang!
When the small warship, which was riddled with arrows and looked tattered, entered the port.

Fully armed Unsullied either boarded enemy warships or landed on the port area of ​​​​Tor City via the springboard.

When there were enough Unsullied to form a spear formation, the battle in the entire port area became a one-sided massacre.

The main warships of the Conqueror Fleet followed closely into the port area, and the Unsullied Legion, which had gained a foothold, advanced towards the gate of the city of Tor.

boom!
When several Unsullied who were not afraid of death blew up the gate of Tor City by self-destructing while holding barrels of wildfire ointment.

The landing battle in Tor City came to an end.

Even without the dragons involved, the battle didn't take long from start to finish.

……

Dorne, Sunspear.

Sunspear is located at the easternmost tip of a small sandy peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides.

The city is distinctive, built entirely of tan mud and straw.

When ordinary people look at it, the first thing they see is definitely the sand ship fort, which looks like a large stone sailing ship washed ashore.

Then there is the Spear Tower, built at the top of Sunspear City, which is two hundred feet (about 60 meters) high and has a gilded iron spike pointing straight into the sky.

This spear tower represents the Martell family emblem of the sun-pierced spear.

The last is the triple curved wall that encircles the entire Sunspear City and winds through its affiliated Shadow City, serving as both a partition wall and a maze.

Da da da!
As an old rival who has been fighting with the Targaryen family, which owns dragons, for more than a hundred years.

The triple curved walls of Sunspear were densely packed with anti-aircraft equipment, most of which were large ballistae, with a few being scorpion crossbows.

At this time, the soldiers of the Martell family gathered around these anti-aircraft equipment with vigilant faces.

Prince Keoren did use Sunspear as bait to attract Jacaerys' dragon, and he is now in Skyrim with most of the Martell soldiers.

But this does not mean that he will give up Yangji City so easily.

Two thousand Martell soldiers who remained behind, plus eight thousand temporary militia forcibly recruited from Shadow Town.

Even if Jacaerys came with all the dragons, he would still be able to fight.

In Prince Keoren's expectation, it would be best if the defenders of Sunspear City could shoot and kill a dragon just like they did in the First Dorne War.

Even if that doesn't work, nearly 10,000 soldiers plus so many anti-aircraft equipment can at least delay Jakaris for several days.

But will the actual situation really develop as he expected?

Hooray, hooray!
A huge inky dragon shadow that seemed to cover the sky of Sunspear City pierced through the clouds and headed straight for the Spear Tower, which represented the emblem of the Martell family.

Boom boom boom!
The large crossbow on the first curved wall closest to the inky dragon fired, and long crossbow arrows as thick as spears shot straight towards it.

But it's no use!
Ding Ding Ding!
Not to mention these ordinary thick and long crossbow arrows, even the armor-piercing crossbow arrows of the scorpion crossbow, which have greater lethality, can only make a louder impact sound.

Wow!

The inky black dragon spewed out a column of black dragon flame without any hesitation, directly cutting the spear tower into two parts from the middle.

Bang bang bang!
Wow!
The upper half of the Spear Tower, along with countless rock fragments of varying sizes, fell obliquely onto the front half of the Sand Ship Fort below.

This peculiarly shaped sand ship fort had already gone through countless years, and the front part suddenly collapsed.

Seeing that a column of dragon flame destroyed two standard buildings in Yangji City, Jacaerys nodded with satisfaction.

But there was no one to be seen in either the Spear Tower or the Sandship Keep. It seemed that, as he had expected, the Martell family and most of the civilians of Sunspear had already evacuated.

And that's exactly what he wants!

In this way, they will have no scruples and can fire at full speed!

Ang~~
Womax let out a loud dragon roar towards the sky, and then flew straight towards the first layer of curved wall that was still firing.

Hoo ho ho!
Horrifying black dragon flames spewed out from the huge dragon's mouth, and the large crossbows on the first layer of curved walls and the Yangji City defenders suffered heavy damage in an instant.

Hooray, hooray!
When the Sunspear defenders of the Triple Curved Wall were attacking Vermax, Silver Wing, Sea Smoke and three young dragons received the signal and descended from the sky.

They swooped down from the left and right sides towards the middle of the first layer of curved wall and spewed dragon flames.

what! ! !
The anti-aircraft equipment on the first curved wall, along with the defenders of Yangji City, were all ignited by various colors of dragon flames.

Prince Kooren expected to delay for a few days, but the first layer of defense was burned down in just a few minutes.

A large number of anti-aircraft equipment fragments burning with dragon flames and the Yangji City defenders who turned into human-shaped torches fell from the top of the first curved wall to the second curved wall.

This unexpected disaster immediately caused the defenders of the second curved wall to scream in fear and flee in all directions.

The fighting spirit of the defenders of the second curved wall has largely dissipated, but for the giant dragon in the sky, the attack has just officially begun!
Hoo ho ho!
The five giant dragons in the sky spewed out dragon flames of various colors, and the second and third curved walls were ignited one after another.

The blazing dragon flames spread rapidly in all directions, and the Shadow City under the triple curved walls was suddenly engulfed in flames.

The remaining Yangji City defenders fled in all directions, and the five giant dragons continued to breathe dragon flames at them mercilessly.

The castle, which originally had a brown appearance, was now reflected in gorgeous colorful colors by the colorful dragon flames that were blazing into the sky.

Jacaerys did not participate in the final slaughter; he rode Vermax around Sunspear, searching for something.

The entire Sunspear City was indeed deserted, but leaving with tens of thousands of civilians would always leave traces.

These three wars in Dorne can be said to be a crushing victory for Jacaerys's side. In less than half a day, three cities were successively captured!
