Chapter 64 Arrival in Braavos, Aquaman Admits Defeat
Oris and Treni, leading 1500 soldiers, traveled by day and rested by night, arriving at Bono's camp. Oris learned of the situation of the soldiers outside Braavos from Tian Shou's account. The soldiers outside Braavos were still receiving food supplies, but they were visibly growing thinner, and the lizard lions in the swamp had been almost entirely hunted down by the army. When Oris's reply reached Braavos, it initially caused no stir, but in recent days, as more and more literate middle-class people grew tired of the siege and began spreading the letter's contents among the citizens, unrest broke out within Braavos.
However, Aquaman still did not recall his soldiers to the city and remained in a standoff with Skyfall's army. After hearing this series of reports, Oris's plan gradually took shape. That night, Oris released Tiamat by the swamp. The pony-sized Tiamat could not cause any damage to Braavos's army. Oris's plan was to use the Dragon Soul Charm to command Tiamat to use its acidic breath to damage all of Braavos's small boats.
Thanks to the fact that the Braavos army had almost wiped out the lizard lions in the swamp, Tiamat was able to move almost freely inside the swamp. Overnight, the bottoms of all the small boats that the Braavos army needed were corroded, and now the Braavos army was trapped in the swamp and unable to return to Braavos.
The next morning, Oris, who had been brought back to Tiamat, devised a plan in his tent. The enemy, having lost almost all of their small boats, would surely send ships from Braavos. But even if Braavos had the best shipbuilders, it would be difficult to build enough small boats to carry thousands of people in a single day while they were hungry. Nighttime would be Oris's opportunity.
The Braavos army, who had been busy transporting small boats during the day, was exhausted by nightfall due to the lack of meat supplies. Under the cover of night, Oris used the Dragon Soul Charm to give orders to Syracuse and Tiamat. Tiamat destroyed the newly arrived ships, while Syracuse used the cover of night to set fire to the Braavos army's food and supplies camps from high above.
As dawn broke, Syracuse, following Oris's orders, flew to the rear of the enemy camp at night. He found several large tents there, then dropped the fire pot he was holding at his feet. The fire was ignited by dragon flames, and instantly the crimson dragon flames and the pale green wildfires set the camp behind Braavos ablaze. The patrolling soldiers, using the firelight, spotted Syracuse and tried to retaliate, but Syracuse didn't even glance at the soldiers on the ground before flying away.
Seeing the enemy camp ablaze, Auris immediately ordered his troops to charge. Auris and Bono charged ahead, instantly plunging into the enemy tents. Braavos's army, already starving, was further decimated by the fire. Auris had initially considered incorporating these troops, but lacking sufficient food, he abandoned the idea. The battle continued until the afternoon of the following day.
In this battle, Oris and his soldiers slaughtered the remaining Braavos soldiers. Afterwards, Oris ordered all the soldiers' heads to be cut off and built into a mound of heads within the former Braavos camp. Oris then obtained the lizardman egg he had found in the swamp from Tian Shou and used the blood energy of the area to catalyze its growth. Nourished by the rich blood magic, the lizardman egg gradually swelled until it reached the size of a dragon egg, finally absorbing all the blood energy of the area. Oris did not use blood magic to hatch the lizardman; this would be dealt with after Braavos surrendered.
Lizardl is the native name in Westeros, but in Oris's previous life, this creature was actually a crocodile. Oris had inquired and learned that the lizardl in Braavos Swamp was different from the one in Westeros Neck Swamp. This was a lizardl that could enter the sea; in other words, it was a saltwater crocodile. This is why Oris had the idea of hatching lizardl eggs again.
The fire and carnage outside Braavos, though Aquaman intended to conceal them, were still witnessed by the soldiers on the city walls and eventually spread throughout the city. The surging public opinion within the city could no longer be suppressed, and Aquaman Braavos was forced to seriously consider Oris's advice.
The meeting between Aquaman and the various families lasted three days, and they ultimately decided to heed the advice in Oris's letter, despite Aquaman's reluctance. Oris, having received Aquaman's message, arrived at the gates of Braavos aboard a slightly larger ship.
The hunched-over Neptune on the city wall could barely stand. After handing over the surrender document to Oris below the city through a basket, he presented three petrified dragon eggs to Oris through the basket. Oris looked at the golden, pale blue, and pale purple dragon eggs in the basket and reached out to take them. At that moment, Treyne, who was behind Oris, suddenly jumped out from behind him and kicked the basket.
Only then did Oris clearly see the scorpion-tailed beasts bound with ropes beneath the dragon egg. Seeing that Oris was unharmed, Aquaman on the city wall immediately ordered his soldiers to fire arrows. Oris, seeing this, drew his red dragon sword, deflected the arrows, and retreated with Therese. At the same time, he ordered the sailors to return to port immediately. Aquaman, seeing that the archers hadn't killed Oris, wanted to order the city guards to open the gates and pursue him, but was stopped by his officials.
Back in his cabin, Oris was furious. While using the Dragon Soul Charm to direct Tiamat to retrieve the dragon egg, he quickly made a decision: since Aquaman was determined to go all the way, Oris would play along. Oris's ship, braving a hail of arrows from the guards atop the city walls, headed back towards the military camp.
Upon returning to his camp, Oris immediately ordered the mobilization of all wildfires throughout the country, the summoning of artisans to rush towards Braavos, and sent a message to Daeron to hold the port of Braavos at all costs and prevent any ships from leaving, as Oris intended to turn Braavos into a ghost town.
At Oris's command, the war machine of the New Valyrian Empire immediately sprang into action. Wildfire and artisans from Pentos, Myr, Rhys, and Tyrosi were continuously delivered to Oris's camp. On the fifth day after the feigned surrender, Oris's army advanced from the direction of the swamp, with countless catapults on the ships ready to go. Instead of heavy stones, the catapults carried jars of wildfire.
Compared to heavy stones, wildfire was much lighter. Launched directly into the city of Braavos by ships and small catapults, after a volley of wildfires was launched, the soldiers on the ships immediately cleaned the catapults and then threw stones wrapped in burning cotton cloth into the city at the same angle and position. The stones instantly ignited the wildfires that had not yet been extinguished, setting countless fires ablaze in the city's waterways and houses.
