Game of Thrones: Roar of the Dragon

Chapter 45: Dragon-killing Poison Arrow (Please read it today)

To the west of the waters of Lanark Island, a large warship flying the flag of a naked goddess of lust was sailing quickly against the wind and waves.

Closely behind it followed warships flying three different flags.

These warships vary in size, but there are so many of them that they seem to occupy the entire sea surface in sight.

Deng Deng Deng!
On the flagship in the front, a Lys soldier quickly ran up to Governor Aloma, who was holding a wine glass.

He saluted and reported: "Governor, there is news from the reconnaissance ship.

Governor Bartos's Myrish fleet is under attack by a dragon."

"Finally they took the bait! Besides the dragon, how many ships does the other side have?"

Governor Aloma perked up upon hearing this and immediately asked.

"Three large warships, five medium-sized warships, and ten small warships."

“According to normal standards, there are no more than 1,500 people.

As long as we can get rid of the dragon, they won't be a threat at all!"

Governor Aloma had confidence in what he said, except for Maharaja Pachek who was stationed on Bandi Island with a small number of slave soldiers.

One third of the Three Daughters Kingdom's combined fleet is here.

Twenty-six large warships and fifty-eight small and medium-sized warships.

A huge force of nearly 11,000 people.

In the Kingdom of Three Daughters, maritime hard power statistics generally only count large warships.

It’s just like calculating each country’s aircraft carrier battle groups in the previous life.

With twenty-six to three in this wave, the military advantage of the Three Daughters Kingdom is simply too great.

As for the enemy dragon...

How could Governor Aloma implement this bait tactic if he had no countermeasures?

After all, according to Lys's historical records, their ancestors had killed the dragons and dragon kings who survived the Doom of Valyria.

So they know a lot of detailed information about dragons.

"Order, the fleet adjusts its formation and prepares for battle!"

As the order was given, the speed of the flagship suddenly dropped.

Governor Aloma was leading the voyage in order to obtain intelligence from the reconnaissance ship ahead as soon as possible, not to face the terrifying dragon head-on.

Da da da!
There were footsteps on the deck behind him, and Governor Aloma turned around to look.

I saw a group of slave soldiers holding pottery jars running towards the large crossbow mounted on the flagship.

The slave soldiers opened the lid of the pottery jar and placed the arrowheads of the specially made crossbow into it.

This specially made crossbow arrow is different from the ordinary thick and long crossbow arrows. Its entire crossbow body is more slender.

The front end is not a triangular arrowhead with a barbed hook, but a conical arrowhead with a very small angle.

From its appearance, it can be seen that this special crossbow arrow has given up maximizing damage and pursued speed and penetration.

Tick, tick!
After the special arrows had been soaked in the pottery jar for several minutes, the slave soldiers took them out.

Drops of blue liquid flowed down the conical arrowhead of the special crossbow.

Rees' most famous specialties are three: bed slaves, poison, and banks.

Two of the poisons are well known, Tears of Rees and Strangler.

The former poisoned Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King of Robert I, and started the story of the entire War of the Five Kings era.

The latter poisoned Joffrey I, the "greatest emperor of all time", and countless people applauded.

However, the special crossbow arrows would not use these poisons developed for humans. The blue liquid poison was specially developed for large beasts and would take effect when it came into contact with blood!

After the failure of his plan on Bandi Island, Governor Aloma had given up the idea of ​​capturing the dragon alive.

Now, he is going to use these specially made poison arrows to slay the dragon!
The combined fleet completed the formation change while riding the wind and waves.

If you look down from the sky at this moment, you can find that the combined fleet has roughly formed five parallel V-shaped military formations.

This is a multi-layered goose-step formation!
Leaving enough distance between warships can effectively reduce the losses caused by dragon air raids and burning.

They can also use their numerical advantage to surround enemy warships and attack from the front, back, left and right at the same time.

Governor Aloma's flagship should be in the safest position of the formation, which is the middle of the third V-shape.

With layers of protection, he can give orders and command operations at will, and evacuate in time if he sees that the situation is not right.

With favorable winds and full-speed sailing, the combined fleet quickly arrived at the battlefield.

The reconnaissance ship at the front immediately reported the real-time battle situation to Governor Aloma.

The Bloodstone Island fleet was chasing the fleeing Myr fleet, while the enemy's emerald dragon was dismantling Governor Bartos's flagship.

Judging from the reports from the front, now is definitely the best time to enter.

But Governor Aloma carefully confirmed that there were no warships visible on the surrounding sea surface before he issued the order for the entire army to attack.

dong dong dong~~
The inspiring drums of attack spread throughout the entire combined fleet.

The Bloodstone Island fleet in front also discovered this huge enemy fleet. They immediately gave up chasing the fleeing Mill fleet and wanted to turn around and escape.

Not to mention these ancient wooden warships, even modern ships cannot change direction in the waves in a short time.

The fleeing ships of the Mill fleet took this opportunity to escape to the Allied Fleet.

The intelligence from the front was reported to the flagship in real time. Governor Aloma hesitated for a moment and then gave the order to ignore it.

If it were in the past, he would definitely force these fleeing Myr warships to rush to the front and use them as cannon fodder.

But he had just used the Mill fleet as bait.

Even though the greedy Governor Bartos has been killed by the dragon, the other governors of Mill City will not let it go after the battle.

There are already signs of betrayal in Tyrosh. If Lys does not strengthen its alliance with Myr now, the Kingdom of the Three Daughters may really fall apart.

Each formation of the combined fleet consisted of five large warships and eleven or twelve small and medium-sized warships.

Leave enough distance between large warships and small and medium-sized warships.

The fleeing Myr fleet was mostly small and medium-sized warships, and there were even quite a few sampans.

Therefore, it can easily pass through the gaps between multiple layers of the goose-step formation.

shhhhhh!
Sharp arrows that blocked out the sun shot into the sky from the combined fleet.

After drawing a perfect parabola, it continued to fall like raindrops towards the side of the Bloodstone Island fleet which had just turned halfway.

Puff, puff!
Doo doo doo!
A blanket rain of arrows fell on the sides of the Bloodstone Island fleet.

The very few Bloodstone Island soldiers who did not have time to find cover were instantly turned into hedgehogs and died on the spot.

Most of the remaining arrows were shot at the side hull and deck, and the densely packed arrows seemed to be like borrowing arrows from a straw boat.

Ang~~
Hooray, hooray!
As if it had sensed that its fleet was under attack, the Emerald Dragon, which was concentrating on dismantling Mel's flagship, let out a melodious dragon roar, then flapped its wings and flew high.

Gulu!

coming!

Governor Aloma watched the Emerald Dragon quickly disappear into the clouds in the sky and swallowed nervously.

The large crossbows on the twenty-six large warships were all pointed at the sky, ready for battle.

The battle to slay the dragon is about to begin!
