Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord
Chapter 112 Naval Battle 3
The soldiers on the deck instantly fell into a bloody melee, with swords and knives intersecting and bursting into dazzling sparks, like gorgeous fireworks blooming in the night sky. The figures of the soldiers intertwined in the fire and smoke, and every collision was a contest of life and death. Blood kept splashing, dyeing the wooden boards under his feet red, making the originally hard deck slippery and dangerous.
Gavin rode on the Blazing Shadow and kept circling and diving in the low sky. Every dive was like the arrival of the God of Fire, and he would definitely destroy an enemy ship.
The flaming arrows in his hand shot out again and again, accurately hitting the dragon hunting crossbow, and each arrow carried the power of destruction.
The dragon flames in the Blazing Shadow's mouth were like the fire of doomsday, ruthlessly destroying the warships of the Reese fleet. Under this powerful offensive, the resistance of the Reese Navy gradually collapsed, and the eyes of the soldiers were full of despair and helplessness.
Some burning Reese warships began to lose control, collided with each other in chaos, and set other warships on fire. Broken planks and broken masts fell into the sea like falling stars, splashing huge water.
The setting sun was like blood, like a layer of thick plasma pouring over the entire sea surface, dyeing it shockingly.
This fierce and long naval battle lasted for a whole day and gradually subsided until dusk.
The broken wreckage of the warships was like the torn limbs of a giant beast, scattered on the surging sea. Many of the wreckages were still burning with raging fires, and the billowing black smoke rose up like a ferocious dragon, contrasting with the blood-red sunset in the sky, forming a hellish scene.
The charred planks, broken masts and twisted metal collided violently with each other under the fierce impact of the surging waves, making a dull and heavy sound, as if it was the unwilling wailing of the battlefield.
The blood continued to merge into the sea, dyeing a large area of sea water red, intertwined with the billowing black smoke and burning flames, and exuded a creepy pungent smell.
Corpses were floating in all directions, some were even half-sunken and half-floating, their faces were frozen at the last moment of their lives, some were full of fear, some were full of pain, and some were in despair.
The sea breeze whistled and swept in, carrying a strong and pungent smell of burnt and disgusting blood, as if it was the breath of death, almost suffocating people. Most of the warships that were once indestructible and majestic are now dilapidated, with the sides of the ships torn into pieces and the sails broken like leaves in the wind.
This naval battle was won at the cost of Gavin losing 5 warships, while Rees's fleet suffered a devastating blow. Except for 11 longships that escaped by chance with their speed advantage, the rest of the ships were either captured or ruthlessly sunk. There was a dead silence on the sea, and only the broken wreckage and floating corpses witnessed the deep mark left by this extremely tragic battle.
Governor Reese, Byron Heywood, stood on the high city wall, looking at the sea area in the distance that had just experienced a naval battle. His face was as pale as paper, and his body trembled involuntarily. His eyes were full of fear and despair, as if his soul had been taken away.
The sea surface that was once familiar has now become a purgatory of death, which makes his heart sink into an endless abyss. His hands tightly grasped the edge of the city wall, and his knuckles turned white due to excessive force. The sea breeze blew across his face, but it could not calm the storm in his heart.
He knew that the fleet had suffered such a tragic destruction, which meant that his position and power were in jeopardy. The fate of the future was like the sea area with floating wreckage and corpses, full of unknowns and dangers.
He seemed to see the angry eyes of the people and hear the cheers of the enemy's victory. All of this was like a sharp blade, piercing his heart.
Fear followed him like a shadow, tightly entwining his thoughts. He regretted hiring the Faceless Man and provoking Gavin, and was worried about the other party's reckoning. Cold sweat continued to seep from his forehead, but he was unaware of it. He just stared blankly at the horrible sea, falling into deep fear and regret.
After simply cleaning up the battlefield, Gavin immediately sent out envoys to persuade them to surrender. At the same time, the fleet quickly blocked the sea of Rees Island, completely cutting off Rees's contact with the outside world.
Warships were tightly deployed around the island, like a steel wall, blocking all possible passages. On the sea, the flaming flags rang fiercely in the wind, warning that any attempt to break through the blockade would end in failure.
The next day, as the news of the blockade of the sea surface spread to the city, the people in the city fell into extreme panic. They could already imagine the situation afterwards. The supply line of materials was cut off, trade stagnated, and life instantly fell into trouble.
Some people in the city who had relatives in the navy became more and more anxious. Their eyes were red and swollen, they cried hoarsely, and made hysterical noises, rushing towards the Governor's Mansion like a surging tide. The noisy sound, like a storm, instantly surrounded the Governor's Mansion.
The gate of the Governor's Mansion was closed, but this could not stop the anger of the people. They slammed the gate hard, their fists fell like raindrops, and they kept shouting the names of their relatives, asking the Governor to give them an explanation.
"My husband is on the front line, and his life or death is uncertain. How can you sit back and do nothing!" A woman's face was covered with tears and her voice was hoarse.
"My son is still so young, he can't just disappear like this!" An old man was shaking with a cane.
At this moment, the door to the Governor's Mansion slowly opened and an official came out. He looked solemn and tried to calm the excited people, but his voice was instantly drowned in the crowd's noise. The people pressed forward step by step, and the officials retreated helplessly. The scene fell into chaos for a time.
In the Governor's Mansion, Byron Heywood stood in front of the window, staring blankly at the crowd that surrounded the Governor's Mansion. The despair in his heart was like a heavy boulder, which became heavier and heavier to the point where he could hardly breathe.
One of his confidants walked towards him in a hurry, not even caring about the usual etiquette. He looked flustered and said urgently: "Governor Byron, something serious is going on! How dare Senator Alek hide this from you just now?" You convened the governor's council privately, and he also brought an envoy sent by Gavin to persuade him to surrender. "
Byron Heywood's face turned pale and bloodless in an instant. His eyes widened, and his eyeballs seemed to bulge out of their sockets. He roared in disbelief: "That damn Alek has been coveting my position. I didn't expect it." He actually has the courage to convene a parliament without telling me. I swear, Alek, I will kill you sooner or later!"
