Game of Thrones: Roar of the Dragon

Chapter 86: Riding a dragon to the sky, a raging sea of ​​fire

On the deck of the Conqueror, Lusris was extremely anxious when he found that his fleet was surrounded on all sides.

After all, Sir Lorent had said before that if Jacaerys' army was ambushed and defeated by the enemy.

Then everyone on Dragonstone would die.

Moreover, he thought quickly and realized that what his brother said before was right.

He was really betrayed by Count Bar-Eamon, otherwise the Green Party would not have been able to design such a large-scale ambush so accurately.

Seeing that Jakaris was holding the golden cylinder and looking at it, he had no intention of giving orders to fight.

Lusris couldn't help but want to ask, but Stone, who was standing behind Jakaris, smiled and shook his head at him.

Yes! My brother is a cunning and vicious good man.

He must have anticipated the ambush and had already figured out how to deal with these villains in advance.

I was too impatient to question my brother.

Ever since seeing Jakaris build a huge fleet with his bare hands, Lusiris began to become a Divine Being.

He was originally extremely anxious, but when he thought of this, he immediately calmed down.

At the same time, Jakaris put down the special telescope in his hand and began to think about the battle plan based on the known information.

The row of sea fireships on the right side of the Conqueror's fleet looks terrifying but is actually very easy to deal with.

The Greens use them as a means of first attack, not for the purpose of killing.

Instead, it was to blockade the eastern sea area and embed these small fire ships into the goose-step formation, turning them into nails that disrupted the formation.

So Jacaris planned to let Coleman, who was well prepared, handle it.

The Baratheon fleet on the left only had about ten large warships and twenty small and medium-sized warships.

The total force is estimated to be around 3,000 people, making them the weakest side in the encirclement.

However, they have the geographical advantage of being backed by Storm's End, so they can fight or retreat.

But it can be seen from the original drama that Duke Boros, who chose to stand on the side based on the benefits of the marriage, is a smart man who is only interested in profit.

A smart person would definitely know how to protect himself, so the Baratheon fleet was probably just pretending in the early stages and observing the situation.

If the Greens have the upper hand, they will fight fiercely.

If the Black Party occupies the upper position, then they must be retreating strategically.

So Jacaris prepared to allocate fifteen small and medium-sized warships to entangle them and play a trick on them.

The royal fleet directly ahead has about twenty large warships and thirty small and medium-sized warships, with a total force estimated to be around five thousand people.

Tyran Lannister was promoted by Queen Alicent and is considered a staunch supporter of the Green Party.

But in the hearts of most nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, family interests are above all else.

As long as the Lannister fleet, which bears the name of the royal fleet, suffers severe damage, there is a high probability that he will withdraw from the battlefield.

After all, this was just an ordinary encirclement, not an important decisive battle concerning the life and death of the Lannister family.

So Jakaris prepared to let the first row of warships and Lusiris deal with them.

And the most important thing is the Hightower fleet located in the rear.

They have about thirty large ships, fifty-two small and medium-sized ships, and a total force estimated to be around eight thousand people.

However, these more than 80 ships are not all warships, there are also some merchant ships and fishing boats among them.

This was probably all the ships the Hightowers could mobilize from Oldtown.

Indeed, for the Hightower family.

This battle can be regarded as a decisive battle to determine the fate of the seven countries, and we must give it our all.

But what Jacaerys found interesting was the large number of Dornish soldiers he saw among the huge Hightower fleet.

No wonder the Martell family has remained silent since they used Alexandra to slap Prince Corran in the face.

It turned out that they had formed an alliance with the Green Party and were preparing to strike a fatal blow against Jakaris.

The Hightower fleet is naturally the main force in this siege, and they will never retreat until the last moment.

So Jacaerys planned to let Stone lead the main force of the Conqueror Fleet to fight a protracted war with the Velaryon Fleet led by Rian.

As for Aemond and Vhagar hovering in the sky, needless to say, they are certainly rivals of Jacaerys and Vermax.

After quickly going over the battle plan in his mind to make sure there were no omissions, Jakaris assigned the combat tasks one by one.

Da da da!
The messenger ran hurriedly on the deck, using flag signals to convey orders to the warships around the Conqueror.

Then, through them, Jakaris' orders were conveyed to the entire fleet.

Blah, blah!
On the right side of the Conqueror's fleet, fifteen small and medium-sized warships, powered by the sailors' hard paddling, sailed out in a flying goose formation against the wind.

Then the fifteen warships quickly turned around and lined up head to tail, facing the sea fire ships coming with the wind with their sides.

Hurrah!

Under Coleman's command, rolls of thick gray cotton cloth were thrown over the sides by the sailors of the fifteen warships.

These thick cotton cloths, with the tops tied to the sides, unfolded as they fell, completely covering the side hulls of the fifteen warships in an instant.

Hey!

Imond, who was hovering over the fire ship, couldn't help but sneer when he saw the operation of the enemy warship.

It was the first time he saw someone taking the initiative to add combustible materials for fear of not being burned to death.

Bang bang bang!
One after another, the small burning fireships slammed heavily into the sides of the fifteen warships commanded by Coleman.

The fifteen warships were rocked left and right by the impact, but they all managed to hold on without any danger.

Hoo ho ho!
The high temperature flame of the small fireboat burned the grayish-white thick cotton cloth at close range, but it was unable to ignite it.

These fifteen warships immediately became like a firebreak on the sea, directly isolating the small fireships from the conqueror fleet.

When Emond in the sky saw this scene, his only remaining right eye suddenly widened.

There was only one question in his mind now.

What kind of cotton cloth is this that can withstand the continuous burning of flames?

On the deck of the Conqueror, Lusris, who saw this magical scene through a special telescope, asked the same question.

Jacaerys explained the gray cotton cloth to him: "This is asbestos cloth, also known as 'fire-proof cloth' in the far east.

It is very heat-resistant and ordinary flames have no way of igniting it.

Even if it is continuously burned by a fire like this, the most it can do is bend it a little bit."

"Oh my god! There is actually a magical cotton cloth in the world that is not afraid of fire.

Brother, you are so amazing, you can find such treasures!"

Feeling the admiration in Lusiris's tone, Jakaris curled up the corners of his mouth into a smile.

In the past month or so, he has not been sitting around enjoying the service of the Myr girls.

This asbestos cloth was what Jacaris came up with after racking his brains to deal with the enemy's dragon flame.

Based on his memories of asbestos mines in his previous life, he mobilized all the surviving civilians in the city of Mill to search for similar things.

After all, Myr was a prosperous port city, and it didn't take long for them to find this 'stone that could produce silk'.

Because this thing can cause cancer, he handed over all matters related to asbestos to Coleman.

The fifteen small and medium-sized warships under his command were actually specifically responsible for extinguishing fires in the Conqueror's fleet.

Closer to home!
While the fire ships at sea were being stopped by the Koman troops, the formation of the Conqueror's fleet had already been changed according to orders.

At the front of the formation is still the first row of goose-shaped formation that has not slowed down before, with a total of eighteen small and medium-sized warships.

They were heading straight towards the royal fleet.

The remaining fifteen small and medium-sized warships in the second row all moved to the left and headed towards the Baratheon fleet.

The twenty-two large warships in the third row had already changed direction and were heading towards the Hightower fleet in coordination with the thirty-eight-ship Velaryon fleet.

As the flagship of the third row, the Conqueror naturally changed direction.

Jacaerys saw that the time was right, so he spoke to his brother and said, “Xiaolu, it’s time for us to go.

You must remember the mission I gave you, which will determine the victory or defeat of this war!"

"Brother, don't worry, I'll remember it."

Lusiris answered seriously at first, then put his hands together in a trumpet shape and placed them next to his mouth.

Shouting to the sky in High Valyrian, "Araxes!"

Hooray, hooray!
Araxes, which had been hovering above the Conqueror, swooped down from the sky.

Boom!
When approaching the Conqueror, it immediately slowed down, then flapped its wings slightly to hover, and landed on the deck. A large warship like the Conqueror, which was only eight meters long including the dragon's tail, could not be affected by Araxes.

Finally, Luciris nodded to Jakaris, then nimbly climbed onto Araxes's dragon saddle and sat firmly.

Hooray, hooray!
Arax flapped its dragon wings and flew four or five meters into the air, then hovered in the air.

Lusris turned his head to look at the deck of the Conqueror. He wanted to see how his brother would ride the dragon into the sky.

After all, the current size of Womax is about four times larger than that of Araxes.

It could not have landed on the deck of the Conqueror as Araxes had.

When he saw Luciris stop riding his dragon, Jacaerys knew what he was thinking.

A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a thought was transmitted to Womacks through the mental connection.

Womax, hovering in the sky, suddenly folded his wings and fell freely towards the sea like a sharp arrow.

Pfft!
Wow!
The huge dragon body of Womax sank straight into the sea from the left side of the Conqueror.

The huge splashes of water immediately caused heavy rain to pour down on the deck of the Conqueror.

Hmm? What is Wolmax doing?
Lusris in the sky frowned, his face full of confusion.

But the next second, he showed a facial expression ranging from confusion to dullness to admiration.

boom!
The sea surface on the right side of the Conqueror suddenly exploded, and the dark green dragon head of Womacks protruded from the sea surface with its back facing the right side of the ship.

Da da da!
Jakaris sensed it in advance through mental connection and stepped forward at the right time.

Snapped!
He stepped on the right side of the ship and jumped, and at this time, Womax's dragon body flew out of the sea.

Jacaerys reached out and grabbed the dragon saddle from bottom to top, and was immediately lifted into the sky by Womax.

My God, the dragon knight and the dragon must have such good cooperation to achieve this level!
And this way of controlling a dragon... is so cool!

Luciris, who watched the whole process of Jakaris riding the dragon into the sky from close range, had a dazed look on his face.

After he realized what was happening, he shouted to Jakaris who was already high in the air with a look of admiration on his face:
"Brother, you have to teach me this later!"

Jacaerys, who was already seated in the dragon saddle and ready for battle, did not hear his shout.

After flying high into the sky, Vermax headed straight for Vhagar that was hovering in the eastern sky.

Hoo ho ho!
When the enemies met, they were extremely jealous of each other. The two giant dragons flew up and down in the sky and breathed dragon flames at each other.

A ball of bright yellow flame lit up in the eastern sky, and then a black-gray flame exploded.

But whether intentionally or unintentionally, they seemed to be flying higher and higher, and farther and farther away from the battlefield.

Looking at the eastern sky, Lusris suddenly remembered his mission and immediately piloted Araxes to fly north.

If the fire ship attack just now was just an appetizer, then now is the main course.

shhhhhh!
The first to start the battle were naturally the royal fleet and the eighteen small and medium-sized warships that had never slowed down.

Arrows flew across the sky as if they were free, shooting out from dozens of warships on both sides.

But after just a few rounds of arrow fire, the gap between the royal fleet and the cannon fodder army was clearly visible.

Whether in terms of arrow power or accuracy, the royal fleet far surpasses the cannon fodder army.

As if realizing the enemy's weak combat power, the Wang family fleet's formation immediately split into two.

Half of the warships continued to suppress with rain of arrows, while the other half accelerated forward to engage in boarding battle.

Click, click, click!
As soon as the royal fleet's ten large warships and fifteen small and medium-sized warships approached.

Hundreds of Lannister soldiers couldn't wait to throw out the springboard with grappling hooks.

Kill!
Bang, bang, bang!
When this group of aggressive Lannister soldiers rushed onto the first few small and medium-sized warships through the gangway.

There was no decent resistance at all, and batches of cannon fodder soldiers simply dropped their weapons and knelt down in surrender.

After all, the current situation is different from the siege of Tyrosh. They don't have the Unsullied Legion behind them to act as a supervisor.

He had tried hard to climb up Tyrosh before in order to survive, and now he was kneeling down and surrendering, also for the sake of survival.

This immediately confused the Lannister soldiers.

They didn't expect that these fully armed and seemingly elite enemies would be so vulnerable.

In the end, with only dozens of casualties, this half of the royal fleet captured all eighteen small and medium-sized warships.

This kind of record can be considered a brilliant victory no matter where it is placed.

On the last medium-sized warship captured by Lannister soldiers, a Lannister officer was inspecting his spoils.

"Eh? What's in these boxes? Food supplies?"

He looked at the many wooden boxes stacked on the deck and asked the cannon fodder legionnaires kneeling on the deck.

A captain of the cannon fodder army immediately replied in a flattering manner: "We don't know either!
These were piled on our ship by the men of His Majesty, no, the evil dragon had them.

But it couldn't be food supplies.

Because the entire fleet's food supplies are loaded onto the rearmost Velaryon fleet."

"Oh? Now that you mention it, it piques my interest.

Someone, open these boxes."

When the Lannister officer heard this, he immediately called two soldiers to open the box with great interest.

Click!

The lid of the wooden box was pried open, revealing neatly arranged sealed pottery jars.

"Um, is it wine?"

The Lannister officer muttered to himself before reaching out and tearing open the mud seal on the pottery jar.

"Damn, what the hell is this? It smells so bad!"

As soon as the pottery jar was opened, a pungent smell spread across the deck.

The captain who answered the question earlier also smelled a pungent smell.

He was slightly stunned, then his face changed drastically, and he immediately shouted, "That's wildfire ointment, quickly, seal it up.

Keep it away from any source of fire."

Seeing that the captain was so nervous, the Lannister officer was about to continue asking questions, but a rapid sound of dragon wings breaking through the air suddenly sounded above his head.

He looked up subconsciously and saw the last scene of his life.

Wow!

A long, thin orange-red dragon flame directly ignited the officer and the wooden box beside him.

Green flames rose from the opened pottery jar and quickly merged with the orange-red dragon flames into a black-gray flame.

Boom boom boom!
The black and gray flames quickly covered the other pottery jars in the wooden box, but because these pottery jars were still sealed, a series of explosions occurred due to the high temperature.

what! ! !
Black and gray flames of varying sizes splashed everywhere in the explosion.

Whether it's a Lannister soldier or a cannon fodder legionnaire, getting a little bit of it on you is equivalent to death.

These black-grey flames burned directly using their flesh and blood as fuel, burning them into a skeleton in a very short time.

Puff, puff!
Some Lannister soldiers who were farther away from the wooden boxes were so frightened by the horrifying scene that they immediately jumped into the sea.

But they seemed to have forgotten that they were still wearing heavy armor, and as soon as they entered the water, they sank straight to the dark seabed.

After the terrifying black-gray flames engulfed the entire medium-sized warship, they actually spread to the surrounding areas along the sea water.

The nearest warship of the royal fleet had no time to leave, and soon turned into a huge black and gray ball of fire.

Hoo ho ho!
In the sky, Lusris was carrying out his mission strictly according to his brother's instructions.

He piloted Araxes and specifically targeted the cargo boxes on the deck of his own warships to spit dragon flames.

shhhhhh!
The royal fleet in the distance tried to attack Lusris with a rain of arrows, but the petite Araxes dodged them flexibly.

Instead, the many Lannister soldiers below him kept falling to the ground under the rain of arrows shot by these friendly forces.

Lusris continued to carry out his mission while dodging the rain of arrows.

But when he set fire to the sixth warship of his own side, he found that his mission had been completed ahead of schedule.

Because these black and gray flames mixed from dragon flames and wildfire ointment are really terrifying.

Even if the wildfire ointment had not been spread all over the sea surface in advance, the powerful fire could still spread on the surface of the sea after devouring the flesh and blood of a large number of soldiers and ships of both sides.

Wow!

This area of ​​sea has turned into a raging sea of ​​fire. A large amount of sea water has been evaporated by the high temperature of the black and gray flames and turned into water vapor, rising towards the sky.

Forty-three ships of all sizes and nearly four thousand soldiers from both sides were burned to ashes!
