Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord.

Chapter 136 Encounter at Sea

The soldiers acted quickly and blew the horn to start the war. The strong sailors worked together to slowly push the heavy crossbows to the best position on the bow and side of the ship. They carefully adjusted the angles, and their meticulous appearance was only to ensure that the shooting could achieve the greatest accuracy. Their arm muscles were tense, and beads of sweat rolled down their cheeks, but no one had time to wipe them off.

The soldiers in charge of ammunition methodically placed the sharp crossbow arrows neatly next to the bed crossbow so that they could be readily available for use in subsequent battles.

Other soldiers hurriedly put on sturdy leather armor, carefully checked the swords in their hands, tightened the straps again and again, tied the shields firmly to their arms, and made full preparations for close combat.

The Mill fleet had obviously also spotted the oncoming Gavin, and the same sharp and urgent horn sounded, with the battle flags fluttering in the wind, as if venting their desire to fight. The warships of both sides sped up, like two arrows shot from a bow, rushing towards the end of the collision without hesitation.

Gavin held the railing tightly, his eyes sharp as torches, staring intently at the approaching enemy ship. His focused eyes seemed to take in every detail of the enemy ship.

At this moment, Hassan, who received the news, hurried over. After Gavin handed over the command to Hassan, he hurried towards Chiying.

As the two sides got closer and closer, they finally confirmed through the flags that the other side was Mill's fleet. The sea breeze was howling, becoming more and more fierce, as if cheering for the fierce battle that was about to break out.

Just as the Myr warship was about to enter the range of the crossbow, Chiying took Gavin and flew into the sky. Then, Gavin's crossbow was the first to fire, and the sharp arrows shot towards the enemy ship like locusts. The dense rain of arrows was a deadly threat.

The Myr side was obviously aware of the range of the bed crossbow and chose to endure it silently. They did not respond with a dense rain of arrows, but instead aimed the dragon hunting crossbow at the giant dragon hovering in the air to guard against the attack of dragon flame.

After silently enduring a round of arrow rain, the Myr fleet quickly adjusted its formation. Their ships moved closely together to form a solid line of defense.

Gavin was overlooking all this from the air. It was obvious that the commander of the Mill fleet understood that with only more than fifty warships, they could not defeat nearly a hundred warships and a giant dragon in an encounter, so he planned to force his way through Gavin's fleet's formation and escape.

Gavin quickly calculated a countermeasure in his mind. He couldn't let the other party escape with such a good opportunity. The Blazing Shadow roared three times in a rhythmic pattern in the air, and Hassan immediately understood the new instructions.

Hassan decisively commanded the warships in the middle of the fleet to disperse and outflank the enemy from different directions, avoiding the opponent's collision route. The warships on both sides began to slow down and move towards the center, thickening the depth of the formation and forming a death channel. Once Mill's fleet enters this pocket formation, it will face fierce attacks from crossbows on both sides.

At this time, the enemy fleet also began to counterattack. Their crossbow arrows were like violent raindrops, shooting at Gavin's fleet. Some soldiers were caught off guard and were unfortunately hit by arrows. The powerful impact of the crossbow arrows brought them into the sea and instantly engulfed by the surging waves. Not only that, but more crossbow arrows whistled in like a dense swarm of bees, fiercely hitting the ship. The solid planks were ruthlessly pierced by this fierce attack, and wood chips flew everywhere like fireworks.

Finally, the Myr fleet, which had no time to turn around, ran headlong into the formation of Gavin's fleet like a beast out of control. In an instant, the crossbows on both sides opened fire on them crazily, and the Myr warships in the front were instantly targeted. Under this stormy attack, in less than a moment, they were shaky on the sea surface and began to tilt and slow down. Before the warships sank to the bottom of the sea, the warships coming from behind could not avoid it and hit the wreckage of the warships in front. The huge collision sound was deafening, and the subsequent warships forced their way through the wreckage of their own side and accelerated forward.

But this brief deceleration still caused the formation of the Mill fleet to be disrupted, and the chaotic situation caused ships to collide from time to time.

The warships on both sides of the formation were in trouble. Many of them had their masts broken by the dense crossbow arrows. The warships lost their balance and were swaying on the sea. There were even several warships on both sides that were close to each other, and fierce boarding battles took place. Countless soldiers roared and boarded the Mir warships, and a bloody and brutal hand-to-hand fight broke out in an instant.

The soldiers' faces were full of ferocity, and they swung their swords with endless killing intent in every blow. Blood splattered everywhere, staining the deck red, and then flowed down to merge with the sea water.

Soldiers from both sides fought desperately in a small space, with roars and shouts intertwined, like the roar of hell. Soldiers were constantly pierced by sharp swords and fell down in pain; this hand-to-hand combat was extremely cruel, and lives were lost every moment. Then, as more and more soldiers from Gavin's side joined the battle, the soldiers from Mill's side finally chose to surrender, and the warship was captured by Gavin's side.

After suffering heavy losses of nearly half of its fleet, the Myr fleet finally fought desperately to break through the formation of Gavin's fleet. At the moment when the first Myr warship struggled to break through the formation, a black shadow suddenly rushed down from the gloomy sky like a swift lightning.

The sea was turbulent, the wind was howling, and the salty seawater was muddied by the fierce battle. Chiying spread his huge wings and rushed straight towards the warship that had just successfully broken through, spurting out blazing dragon flames from his mouth.
The dragon flames instantly wrapped around the bow of the warship. The wooden structure quickly burned under the high temperature, and the soldiers on the ship immediately shouted in terror.

The Blazing Shadow's attack was incredibly swift, deadly and ferocious, the dragon flames plowing fiercely through the warship's deck, tearing deep, shocking gashes into it.

Under Chiying's fierce and ferocious attack, the warship's fire became more and more fierce, and thick smoke rose into the sky. Some soldiers were instantly devoured by the flames, while others jumped into the sea in panic.

The breakthrough advantage that the Mill fleet had just achieved with great difficulty was instantly suppressed by Chiying's sudden and fierce attack.

When Hassan saw the attack of the Blazing Shadow, he immediately ordered the horn to be blown. The passionate horn sound penetrated the noise of the wind and waves and echoed on the sea.

The warships of Gavin's fleet responded quickly, like a group of brave hunters, and began to gather quickly, surrounding the Mill fleet tightly. The surging waves hit the warships violently, splashing white waves.
