Game of Thrones: Roar of the Dragon

Chapter 82 Night Raid (First Order)

Wow!
A string of lights like a long dragon appeared on the dark surface of Blackwater Bay. It was an unknown fleet sailing under the cover of night.

When the fleet was approaching Dragonstone Island at the mouth of the sea, most of the lights went out, leaving only a few lights in the front.

At the foot of Dragonstone Island, there is a gate that is shaped like a "mountain".

The city walls on the left and right sides of the gate are about ten meters high, and the towers in the middle and on the left and right sides are much higher than the city walls, about twenty-two or twenty-three meters.

Haha~~
On the left wall of Dragonstone's gate, more than twenty soldiers on night duty were yawning one after another.

The dark period before dawn is when they are most likely to feel sleepy, and they can only distract themselves by chatting in low voices.

“Prince Daemon has been keeping everyone on alert all this time.

Hey, who do you think he is guarding against? "

"Of course he's from the Red Castle.

I heard that a few months ago, six dragons were fighting in the sky above King's Landing.

Our dragons of Dragonstone account for half of them."

"If you ask me, Prince Daemon is still too cautious.

What fool would dare to attack Dragonstone, an island with a great geographical location and more than ten dragons?"

"Hey, didn't Prince Jakaris just attack a while ago?"

"Hush, be quiet, Sir Laurent is coming!"

When a burly, bald white knight walked over from the right wall, the chattering on the left wall came to an abrupt end.

Lorent Marbrand, one of the Seven White Knights of King Viserys I.

Since coming to Dragonstone to protect Princess Rhaenyra, he has never returned to King's Landing, and now he can be considered her exclusive White Knight.

Before she and Daemon left Dragonstone, she handed over the command of the Dragonstone soldiers to Ser Lorent.

This noble white knight did not disappoint her trust and actually did such a small task as night patrol personally.

"Keep your attention outside and don't chat while on duty."

"Yes!"

After saying a few words to the soldier on duty, Sir Lorent was about to return to the Stone Drum Tower.

But suddenly he saw a light on the sea.

Huh? Why would a ship come to Dragonstone at this time?
"Everyone, get ready, there's a strange ship approaching!"

Following a loud roar from Sir Laurent.

The fifty or sixty soldiers on duty on the walls to the left and right of the gate and the thirty or forty archers in the three towers immediately became energized.

When the ship came into sight, Sir Laurent's tense nerves relaxed a little.

By the light on the ship, you can see that it is a large warship flying a golden angry lion flag.

Ever since Lord Corliss led the Velaryon fleet into the war at the Stepstones,
Tyrone Lannister took over as Lord High Lord of the Admiralty, and the title of the Royal Fleet naturally fell to the Lannister Fleet.

The ships of the royal fleet were not considered strange vessels.

Da da da!
Ser Tyran, who had the standard Lannister blond hair, came to the gate of Dragonstone with a dozen guards holding lanterns.

"Open the door. I am here to deliver the King's order to Prince Lusiris."

"and many more!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers on the walls of Dragonstone wanted to open the city gate with a capstan, but were stopped by Sir Lorent.

He immediately asked in a loud voice: "Lord Tailan, the king's orders are usually delivered by my white knight brothers.

Why don’t they come to see me?”

“This is an urgent order, and the other White Knights have their own errands.

I was on my way back to Lannisport so I brought it with me."

Upon hearing this, Sir Tyran replied calmly.

While saying this, he reached his right hand behind his back and gave a secret message to a guard behind him.

Upon seeing this, the guard covered his lantern with his hand inconspicuously, making the light flicker.

Sure enough, Sir Laurent is not so easily fooled.

After hearing Sir Tyran’s words, he immediately asked back: “Lord Tyran, since you are so busy that you are not afraid of the many reefs in the Spear of the Mermaid King (an area in Blackwater Bay) and sail at night.

How can you still have time to bring the king's order? Isn't this a bit contradictory?"

"This is because……"

shhhhhh!
As soon as Tailan opened his mouth, Sir Lorent heard a very familiar sharp sound of breaking through the air.

"Enemy attack! Get down!" Puff puff puff!
About half of the soldiers on the left wall reacted and followed Sir Lorent to squat under the parapet.

The other half of the soldiers who were slow to react were shot directly into hedgehogs.

Hoo ho ho!
Sir Lorent waited until the rain of arrows ended, then secretly looked out from the parapet.

I saw a long row of lights lighting up on the sea. Judging from the scale, it seemed that the entire royal fleet had arrived.

Dangdang Dangdang!
The alarm bell on the gate tower rang, and countless lights lit up in the Stone Drum Tower on Dragonstone Island.

shhhhhh!
The Dragonstone archers returned fire from the slits in the tower.

But when the fleet in the rear launched an attack, Sir Tyran hid in a rocky blind spot on the side under the protection of his personal guards.

Whoohoo!
Bang bang bang!
The catapults loaded on the large warships of the royal fleet threw stones as big as heads, which smashed heavily on the walls of Dragonstone.

The buildings on Dragonstone were built using lost Valyrian stonemasonry techniques, and the stones did not cause much damage to the walls.

But the soldiers on the city wall were all flesh and blood, and several unlucky guys had their heads smashed to pieces.

With the second wave of arrows coming, the soldiers on Dragonstone didn't even dare to raise their heads.

Go!

Taking advantage of the royal fleet's firepower suppression, hundreds of Lannister soldiers landed on Dragonstone.

They carried the siege ladders, battering rams and other siege equipment that they had prepared in advance and headed straight for the gate of Dragonstone.

Da da da!
The reinforcements from Dragonstone gathered and set out from the Stone Drum Tower, but the Dragon Tail Stairs leading to the gate of Dragonstone were too long and narrow.

With the defenders at the gate now huddled under the parapet, it was simply too late.

Wow!
Two golden copper tubes quietly extended from the towers on the left and right sides, and two streams of black viscous liquid gushed out of the copper tubes.

A Lannister soldier who had just rushed to the bottom of the city wall was drenched by the sticky liquid.

They touched the black liquid and put it to their noses, and immediately smelled a stench similar to that of rotten eggs.

Wow!

Two burning torches extended from the tower and moved in front of the copper pipe.

The black, sticky liquid was instantly ignited by the torch and quickly spread toward the bottom of the city wall like two flaming snakes.

what! ! !
The Lannister soldiers who were poured with the black liquid were instantly set on fire.

Human-shaped torches ran wildly under the city wall, igniting their comrades and siege ladders beside them.

The two flaming snakes on the towers on the left and right sides were like the breath of a giant dragon, turning the area below the city wall into a flaming hell.

This is a powerful weapon for defending the city that Damonto bought from Pentos through his connections.

Pentos signed an unequal agreement with Braavos, which prohibited them from owning more than 20 warships and hiring mercenaries or free mercenaries.

Therefore, the Pentos people, who were short of manpower, focused their military development on various military equipment.

These two flamethrowers are new weapons they have developed in recent years.

If Damon didn't have a strong relationship with Pontos, it would have been impossible to buy it.

With the help of the flamethrower, the situation on Dragonstone Island improved instantly.

Sir Lorent and others finally stood up from the parapet to assist in the defense, and reinforcements from the Dragon Tail Stairs were about to arrive.

Hooray, hooray!
The sound of a dragon wing breaking through the air came from above, loud enough to drown out the screams on the battlefield.

Sir Lorent, who had just stood up, suddenly turned pale and curled up his huge body again to hide behind the wall.

Wow!

Bright yellow dragon flame lit up the sky above the gate of Dragonstone, and the scorching hot dragon flame hit the tower on the right in an instant.

Boom! ~
The black liquid storage device in the tower was ignited by the high-temperature dragon flame, and suddenly a violent explosion occurred.

This is why flamethrowers are not popular in Pentos, as they are very lethal to the enemy.

However, after the storage device is detonated by high temperature, it will be more lethal to its own people.

Bang!

The roof of the tower on the right was directly blown off by the explosion, and a black shadow large enough to cover the entire gate of Dragonstone fell on the top of the burning tower.

It opened its dragon mouth wide enough to swallow a mammoth and let out a terrifying dragon roar.

Ang~~~
