Game of Thrones: Roar of the Dragon

Chapter 85: Wind Rises in Broken Ship Bay

On the morning of the fourth day after the fall of Dragonstone, Jacaerys' twenty-two large warships and forty-eight small and medium-sized warships were ready to set sail.

The fact that this army of 10,000 people could set sail so quickly was inseparable from the efforts of all the slaves in Lanark Town.

As a result, even the most important wildfire ointment collection was suspended.

Da da da!
The two fully armed Jakaris brothers boarded the flagship accompanied by Stone, Coleman and others.

This large warship of 100 meters was originally called Governor Myr, but now it has been renamed Conqueror by Jacaerys.

Not only the flagship, but the entire fleet has been named the Conqueror Fleet.

Just by hearing the name, you can know Jakaris' ambition for this Northern Expedition.

Hooray, hooray!
Accompanied by the sound of dragon wings breaking through the air.

Two giant dragons, one large and one small, took off from an open space near the port and circled low around the Conqueror's fleet.

A top-level combat force like a dragon will bring negative emotions such as panic and anxiety to the enemy camp.

But if it is in one's own camp, it will greatly enhance morale and bring a strong sense of security to the soldiers.

Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha!
A legion of Unsullied, numbering 520 men, with a terrifyingly orderly battle formation.

A 1,500-man crossbow corps equipped with new weapons.

There are 5,500 of them, fully armed, and they are a cannon fodder army that looks like a regular army.

The army with a total number of about 7,500 people left Lusris stunned.

He heard little news of the Stepstones while on Dragonstone.

He never imagined that his brother could build such a large and well-equipped army in less than half a year.

You have to know that the soldiers and servants on Dragonstone only number more than a thousand people.

And this does not include the Velaryon fleet, which has nearly four thousand people and is independent of the Conqueror's fleet.

Of course, Luthris did not know that this army of conquerors was built on the countless corpses of Tyrosh and Myr.

Why can even the cannon fodder army be fully armed?

That's because there were too many weapons and armor seized from these two free city-states.

you could put it that way.

Except for Rudy's team, which had not yet returned from Astapor, Jakaris took away all the resources and troops he could.

"All troops set off!"

After all the soldiers boarded the ship one by one, Jacaerys waved his hand suddenly towards the north and gave the order to set sail.

Blah, blah!
The Velaryon fleet was in front and the Conqueror fleet was behind.

Nearly 120 warships of all sizes were moving towards the Stone Steps Islands in a mighty manner.

With a large fleet of this size sailing on the sea, no pirates would be so foolish as to come aboard and seek death.

The Conqueror's fleet smoothly passed through the Stepstones and entered the Sea of ​​Dorne.

From here on, Jakaris became extremely vigilant.

Because to sail from the Sea of ​​Dorne to Cape Wrath, one has to pass through the narrow strait between the rainforest and the Isle of Emons.

If there really is an ambush, there is a high probability that it will be in this section of the strait.

So, Jacaris first reorganized the formation of the entire fleet.

He used the multi-layered goose-step formation, which is most commonly used by large fleets and is also the best defense against dragon air raids.

The small and medium-sized warships carrying the cannon fodder army are in the first three rows.

The Unsullied, Crossbow and flagship Conqueror are in the fourth row in the middle.

The Velaryon fleet was placed in the last fifth and sixth rows.

Jacaerys stayed aboard the Conqueror during this voyage.

Only when the fleet dropped anchor to rest would he and Luciris ride on Vermax and Arax respectively to scout the surrounding waters.

This is so because the command of the entire fleet lies in the hands of Jacaerys alone.

If he were entangled by Aemond or Aegon while riding his dragon, the huge fleet would be paralyzed.

Stone has a poor sense of the overall situation and can only command small-scale battles.

Coleman is capable of commanding the entire fleet, but Jacaerys would never give him command.

As a result, after sailing in this sea area for nearly seven days, no trace of any enemy fleet was found except for some merchant ships that avoided it from a distance. The Conqueror's fleet sailed smoothly and passed the narrow strait and Cape Wrath safely.

Enter the vast Broken Ship Bay with very calm winds and waves.

“Brother, we can reach Dragonstone Island quickly through Shipbreaker Bay.

I told you, Lord Bar-Emond has been very kind to me."

On the third day of sailing in Shipbreaker Bay, Lusiris spoke to Jakaris with a smile on his face.

After all, he was only a twelve-year-old boy and didn't want to doubt too much about people who were kind to him.

Jakaris did not coax Lusiris as usual. He turned his head and said to the messenger beside him: "Pass the order, the warships in the first row maintain normal speed.

The remaining five rows reefed and slowed down."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Looking at the messenger who left after receiving the order, Lusris also realized that something was wrong.

He turned his head and looked at the vast sea which was calm and without any abnormality.
He asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Brother, is there a problem? I don't see anything suspicious!"

“Path, Shipbreaker Bay is an important waterway connecting the east coast of Westeros.

But during the three days we were on the Broken Ship Bay route, we didn't see any ships.

Isn't this suspicious enough?"

After hearing what Jakaris said, Lusiris suddenly felt as if he had suddenly realized something.

Their flagship was surrounded by hundreds of warships, so how could he not notice the details of the merchant ship?

Whoohoo!
When the Conqueror's fleet entered the waters of Storm's End, ripples began to appear on the originally calm sea surface.

Strong gusts of wind blew from the Isle of Tas in the east of Shipbreaker Bay to Storm's End in the west.

Why is Storm's End called this name?
That's because the weather in the sea area of ​​​​Storm's End is unpredictable and very bad.

The first Storm King believed that the castle he built was powerful enough to calm even the worst storms.

Just as the Conqueror's fleet was at a loss as to what to do with the sudden strong wind, a black line appeared on the sea in the direction of Tas Island.

With the help of the strong wind, the black line approached the Conqueror fleet at an extremely fast speed.

Jacaerys immediately used the telescope specially made in Mil's workshop to check.

It turned out that the black line was actually a group of small fishing boats loaded with firewood.

Ang~~
The loud dragon roar resounded through the sky of Broken Ship Bay.

Vhagar's huge dragon body broke through the thick clouds and appeared above the small fishing boats lined up in a line.

Wow! ~~
As it dived in a straight line, the bright yellow dragon flame ignited all the small fishing boats lined up sideways.

The black line that was approaching rapidly with the strong wind turned into an approaching wall of fire on the sea in the blink of an eye.

And this is just the beginning!
woohoo~~
Melodious horn sounds rang out from three other directions.

A fleet as crimson as fire, with sails embroidered with angry golden lions, appeared in the north.

The royal fleet coming from the direction of Dragonstone was led by Tyrone Lannister.

A fleet of lush green ships with sails embroidered with towering white towers appeared in the south of Broken Ship Bay.

The Hightower Fleet, which came from the Sea of ​​Dorne, was led by Mond Hightower.

A fleet with a golden appearance and sails embroidered with crowned stags appeared in the west of Shipbreaker Bay.

The fleet coming from the direction of Storm's End was the Baratheon fleet led by Borros Baratheon.

The situation in Shipwreck Bay changes as rapidly as the weather.

It was calm one second and thundering the next!
