Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord.

Chapter 184 Serenity

Suddenly, a fiery magical power surged in his body, which was the blazing shadow that he had taken into his body.

Gavin focused his mind slightly, used his magic to comfort the other party, and said silently in his heart: "Hey, be patient for a while, I will let you out soon." Feeling Gavin's comfort, Chiying's magic power slowly calmed down.

The route from Lys to Slaver's Bay was very busy, with many merchant ships coming and going. Especially when the route passed the ruins of Valyria, since no one dared to cross the Sea of ​​Smoke, all ships would detour, making the port line outside Valyria the most prosperous.

Gavin knew very well that if he released Scorching Shadow rashly, the news of his coming to Essos would quickly spread far and wide, which would be seriously inconsistent with his plan.

The Sunset Beauty has been sailing on the vast ocean for more than ten days.

The weather was calm during this period and he did not encounter any blind pirates. Gavin gradually regained his leisurely state as he used to when he was on the boat, and sat by the boat fishing every day.

One day, Gavin was sitting by the boat fishing. The fishing rod in his hand was shaking slightly, and the fishing line was flickering faintly in the sunlight.

Suddenly, Gavin's Chiying's magic power began to stir for no reason. Gavin immediately tried to calm him down softly, then he looked up.

The sky in the distance was dark and gloomy, as if a huge gray curtain covered the sea. When Gavin saw this familiar scene, he realized that they had arrived outside the ruins of Valyria.

The helmsman also noticed this situation. He immediately turned the steering wheel, and the Sunset Beauty began to turn slowly, carefully circling the outside of the ruins.

After walking along the Valyrian ruins for half a day, two faint black spots appeared on the sea level ahead.

The experienced Gavin knew at a glance that they were two ships, but he ignored them and calmly went up to the second deck, his eyes cast towards the mysterious and ancient Valyria.

As the distance gradually shortened, the two black spots became clearer and clearer. Finally, Gavin saw that they were two ships engaged in a fierce battle.

One of them was flying the flag of Pentos and was just an ordinary merchant ship.

The merchant ship was shaking violently in the waves, its hull was damaged in many places, and its flag was fluttering weakly in the wind, as if telling the world its helplessness.

The crew members ran around on the deck in panic, some tried hard to control the ship to avoid the attack, while others picked up simple weapons to prepare for resistance.

The other is a unique Triceratops warship, a warship unique to the Ironborn, which is completely different from the common sailing warships.

The three strange poles were distributed in a fan shape, casting strange shadows on the sea, making the warship appear particularly wide.

The fan-shaped overlapping design allows the sail to receive wind over a larger area, making the warship as agile as a cheetah on the sea, extremely fast, even faster than a longship.

However, its disadvantage is that it is not as tall as a sailing ship, which makes it at a disadvantage in boarding battles. At the same time, the number of crossbows that can be installed on the deck is not as many as that of a sailing ship.

The sea monster flag hanging on the ship fluttered in the wind, and the ferocious sea monster pattern seemed to be about to leap out of the flag and pounce on the enemy at any time.

This undoubtedly proved its identity - it was a warship of the Greyjoy family of the Iron Islands.

They continued to fire crossbows and stones at the merchant ships, which were filled with flames and screams.

Gavin stood quietly on the second deck, watching the fierce naval battle with a serious expression.

Under the gloomy sky, the waves were surging, adding a bit of solemnity to the battle. Everyone on the Sunset Beauty was also looking forward nervously. Kairos hurried to the second deck, bowed to Gavin and asked, "Sir, should we bypass them?"

Gavin shook his head slightly and said, "Just avoid it and pass quickly. There's no need to go around it."

After hearing the order, Kairos bowed and walked towards the helmsman beside him and began to command the Sunset Beauty.

The Sunset Beauty sailed past the side of the battlefield. As it slowly got closer, the noise of the battle became increasingly audible.

Gavin frowned slightly, thinking about this strange encounter in his heart. Gavin guessed that the three strange warships of the Iron People were Euron Greyjoy's Tranquility. Gavin had learned about the rebellion in the Iron Islands from Qyburn's intelligence not long ago. After the failure of Euron Greyjoy's rebellion, he was a pirate in the Sunset Sea, but he never expected to meet Gavin today.

At this time, the merchant ship was already in a state of decline under the attack of the three-masted warship, the hull was damaged in many places, and the crew fled in panic.

The sea monster flags on the Iron Men warships fluttered in the wind, and they continuously fired crossbows and stones at the merchant ships, which were filled with flames and screams.

Kyros, who was standing beside Gavin, had a serious expression on his face, with his eyebrows tightly knitted together like two tangled black lines. He whispered, "My lord, this should be Euron Greyjoy who has been active on the Sunset Sea recently. That ship is the Serenity. Should we intervene in this battle?"

Gavin was silent for a moment, his eyes still fixed on the battlefield, like a calm sculpture.

He said slowly: "Observe first, don't act rashly."

As the distance got closer, the battle developed into a fierce boarding battle.

The Ironmen bit their scimitars, and the sharp blades flashed coldly in the sunlight, like the fangs of hungry beasts.

They grabbed the ropes and jumped onto the other ship like nimble monkeys, intending to seize the merchant ship with great momentum.

However, the merchant ship's crew also put up a tenacious resistance, brandishing their weapons with unyielding flames in their eyes. During the fight, the Ironmen ignited the sails on the poles with flames, and the raging fire instantly spread upwards, and the merchant ship was engulfed in a sea of ​​fire.

Seeing this, the Ironborn jumped back onto the Serenity, moving swiftly and decisively.

This is a common tactic used by pirates. If the boarding battle does not go well, they will prioritize the opponent's mobility. The pirates who boarded the ship will then return quickly, and then they can capture the merchant ship intact by long-range harassment.

Gavin looked at this tragic scene, and the Fiery Shadow Magic in his body seemed to sense the chaotic atmosphere and became slightly restless, as if a sleeping giant was disturbed by the noise from the outside world.

Suddenly, the Serenity stretched out its oars, and those oars were like huge tentacles, slowly paddling to distance itself from the merchant ship.

The merchant ship that lost power was forced to dock where it was, and the crew members began to fetch water and put out the fire. The deck, which had just experienced a massacre, became even more chaotic.

Water splashed everywhere, shouts and curses intertwined together, as if it was purgatory on earth.

The Tranquility retreated a certain distance and began to turn, aiming at the Sunset Beauty not far away, obviously not intending to let go of this passing prey.

Seeing the actions of the Serenity, Gavin curled his lips helplessly. In his heart, he just wanted to reach the Slave Bay as quickly as possible and did not want to reveal his identity on the way, otherwise, with a breath of dragon flame, all the warships would be gone.
