Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord.

Chapter 187 Slaver's Bay

The mercenaries who were fighting did not notice the threat behind them and lost two people in succession in Euron Greyjoy's sneak attack.

The Ironborn who were fighting against them quickly widened the gap and took over Euron Greyjoy.

Gavin followed closely behind with Dawn in his hand. Seeing this, several Iron Men rushed towards Gavin frantically to stop his pursuit, but were easily killed by Dawn.

But their deaths still bought time for Euron Greyjoy to escape.

This allowed Euron Greyjoy to successfully return to the Silence.

Then, the remaining Ironmen quickly adjusted the sails of the Tranquility, and the two ships that were closely adjacent to each other began to separate.

The Iron Men who had not yet returned to the Serenity were still madly attacking the Blood Dragon Guards and mercenaries, trying to stop them from pursuing them.

Seeing this, Gavin stopped chasing, put away the Dawnbreaker, and slowly walked back to the second deck.

Gavin focused slightly as he looked at the Serenity not far away. The fiery magic power surged into his hands, and a ball of blazing flames appeared in his hands. Gavin stretched out his arms and aimed his palm at the Serenity. The surging fire snake rushed out and hit the hull of the Serenity fiercely.

The blazing flames ignited the hull of the Serenity, and at the same time, the flames spread rapidly under the surge of magic power, covering nearly half of the deck and igniting the sails of the Serenity. But the impact of the fire snake also pushed the Serenity farther and farther.

It was not until the Serenity was out of the range of the flames that Gavin let go of his arms tiredly and took a deep breath.

Creating fire out of thin air consumes more than ten times the magic power compared to controlling it, especially the magic power required to use it to ignite a warship is even more terrifying.

If it weren't for the help of the blazing shadow in his body, Gavin wouldn't have been able to do it.

At this time, the Serenity was already engulfed in flames. Conventional methods could no longer extinguish the flames, and it was only a matter of time before it was reduced to ashes.

Suddenly, Euron Greyjoy's crazy and incoherent voice was heard from the sea of ​​fire.

"This is the realm of the Drowned God. I am immortal. No one can kill me... immortal."

"I will enter the Palace of Water, and the Drowned God will bless me"

"It's you. This magic, this flame, I know who you are."

"Drowned God. Drowned God, I saw it."

Gavin looked grimly at the Serenity engulfed in flames.

The crazy and incoherent voice seemed particularly abrupt in the sea breeze, but it did not cause much waves in Gavin's heart.

Ignoring the other party, the Serenity, which had lost power, could only helplessly drift along the ocean current towards the ruins of Valyria. In Gavin's opinion, if lucky, the Serenity might be able to reach the land before burning to ashes.

However, he felt that if Euron Greyjoy didn't want to be burned to death, he had no choice but to jump into the sea, and no matter what he chose, death seemed to be waiting for him.

Then, Gavin turned his attention to the battle that had not yet ended. At this time, the battle had already come to an end. Those Ironborn who had not left fought back frantically, like trapped beasts, but the only fate waiting for them was to be slaughtered.

On the deck of the Sunset Beauty, blood and sweat intertwined, forming a tragic picture. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and tension, making people almost suffocate. Although the mercenaries were brave, more than a dozen of them had fallen under the crazy attack of the fearless Ironborn.

The rest of the mercenaries were also injured, their clothes were stained with blood, and their faces showed fatigue.

Even as powerful as the Blood Dragon Guards, they lost three of their men in this brutal battle.

Seeing this, Gavin joined the battle with Dawn in hand, intending to end the battle and leave the sea of ​​smoke as soon as possible. Perhaps because he had just used magic, Blazing Shadow's warning was more urgent.

With the help of Gavin's legendary swordsmanship, the deck was quickly cleared of the Iron Men.

Gavin had no time to greet the mercenaries who were lying limp on the ground. As soon as he thought about it, the Blood Dragon Guards immediately understood his orders and started to control the ship.

They hoisted the sails and tied the ropes with quick and skillful movements.

Gavin walked quickly to the second deck, took the helm himself, and drove the Sunset Beauty quickly toward the sea.

Finally, the Sunset Beauty successfully sailed out of the sea of ​​smoke. The seemingly endless fog disappeared in an instant, and what appeared before our eyes was a clear and vast blue sky and blue sea.

The sun poured down unhindered, casting a warm golden glow over the hull.

Gavin stood on the second deck, the breeze blowing across his face, bringing with it the unique scent of the ocean. He narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling the blazing shadow magic power in his body. The violent magic power had calmed down the moment it rushed out of the sea of ​​smoke.

Gavin looked back at the mysterious sea of ​​smoke he had left behind, a complex emotion welling up in his heart. He had already stepped into the ruins of Valyria twice.

Compared to the last in-depth exploration, this time he only entered the border and did not encounter any monsters, but he felt it was more dangerous than the last time.

If he had encountered a monster that could give a warning to the current Blazing Shadow during his first expedition, he would never have been able to escape with just the Blazing Shadow, which was more than ten meters in size. The mystery of the Valyrian ruins was even more terrifying than Gavin had imagined.

The sails of the Sunset Beauty fluttered in the wind as it continued to sail towards Slaver's Bay.

Slaver's Bay is located in the southern part of Essos. It is named after the bay that extends northward from the Summer Sea into Essos. It is adjacent to the Land of Long Summer in the west and faces the Valyrian Peninsula in the Land of Long Summer across the sea.

To the north is the Dothraki Great Grass Sea, making this land a frequent target of raids by the Dothraki.

There are three slave cities in Slaver's Bay, namely Meereen, Yunkai and Astapor. The locations of the three cities, including the large area of ​​land to the east, were once the glorious ancient Ghis Empire.

More than five thousand years ago, the powerful ancient Ghis Empire continued to expand outward. Relying on the disciplined Ghis Legion, the empire once extended its sphere of influence to the continent of Sothoryos and the Basilisk Islands.

Until the powerful Ghis Empire encountered the rising Freehold of Valyria, the two fought five consecutive wars, but in the end, facing the dragons that breathed dragon flames, the entire Ghis legion was destroyed, and the five wars ended with the defeat of the Ghis Empire.

With the last army of Ghis defeated, the Dragon King of Valyria burned Ghis and its pyramids into dust with dragon flames, and at the same time spread salt, sulfur, and bones every inch of the land here, turning the fertile land into a desert unsuitable for cultivation to prevent the survivors from returning.

After the fall of the ancient Ghis Empire, the surviving Ghis people were unable to survive by farming and had to migrate westward. They established gathering points in the ruins near the sea in the west and continued to survive through sea transportation and the slave trade.

After the Doomsday, the Freehold of Valyria was destroyed by natural disasters. The Gith people, who no longer pose a threat, quickly established three cities here. They gradually rose up relying on the slave trade, forming the three cities of Slaver's Bay today.
