Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord
Chapter 227 Sea Monster
A month later, Jalal successfully returned to Meereen. His return this time has been fruitful. Not only did he bring back a considerable amount of food, solving the imminent food crisis in Dragon Bay, he also successfully established a solid trade route with Lazarin.
In the magnificent pyramid, Gavin summoned all the generals to discuss the plan to send troops to the disputed land. Gavin glanced at everyone in the venue calmly, and slowly said:
"Everyone, I plan to march into the disputed area in two ways, one from the sea and one from the land. I have ordered the Stepstone Islands Fleet and the Narrow Sea Fleet to work together to capture Tyrosh. With the strength of our fleet, After that, the fleet will continue to try to attack Myr and seize the disputed land. However, Volantis will not sit idly by and our two fleets are essentially. Once the navy lands and fights, it will be difficult to compete with Volantis' tiger-robed army."
"So, we need to contain Volantis from the land aspect. Since the current sea route is cut off, I plan to lead the army to march west around Valyria, taking the route that the Golden Group took before. I estimate that it will take about two months. In time, we will reach the point of dispute.”
"What do you think about this?"
After hearing this, Kairos stood up first. He bowed slightly respectfully, and then said: "Your Majesty, I wonder how many troops you plan to send out this time? How many troops do you plan to leave for defense? Meereen, Yunkai and Astapor. Each city needs sufficient troops to be garrisoned. Currently, there are still secret activities in these three cities and the surrounding towns. I am worried that once the army leaves, there will likely be rebellion in these three cities. The people responsible for city defense are the Second Legion. We have just absorbed a large number of prisoners of war. Those Dothraki have not yet been fully absorbed by the legion. I wonder whether they should be eliminated when arranging the remaining soldiers. "
Everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears when they heard this, obviously they took this issue very seriously.
Kyle also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, all prisoners of war belong to the Second Legion. Now, the number of the Second Legion has reached nearly 20,000 people, most of whom were the city defense troops of the previous three cities, and there are more than 5,000 original soldiers. The mercenaries of the Golden Company, plus those Dothraki, however, are not very loyal and may even rebel, just like the Sons of the Harpy did when we sent troops to Lazarin last time. Some assassinations were carried out, which scared them away from patrolling.”
After hearing this, Gavin nodded slightly, agreed, and said: "I understand what you said. I plan to take away all these unstable factors this time. Kyle, Kairos, as the second legion How many reliable soldiers does the commander think there are currently in the legion?”
When Kyle and Kairos heard this, they looked at each other and then fell into a brief thought. After a moment, Kyle said: "Your Majesty, including Kairos's three thousand cavalry, the total is less than ten thousand."
Gavin heard this, thought for a moment, and then said: "That's enough. Except for the cavalry, these soldiers will stay and be dispersed to the three cities to serve as city defense forces. The cavalry, the Unsullied Legion, and the newly surrendered soldiers will all participate in the expedition."
Jalal stood up, bowed respectfully and asked, "Your Majesty, how will the remaining officials and generals be arranged?"
After hearing this, Gavin stood up and said slowly: "It has been three months since I conquered Slaver's Bay. Today I would like to take this opportunity to explain that from today on, Slaver's Bay will officially be renamed 'Dragon's Bay'. The name of the Three Cities remains unchanged.”
"Dragon's Bay has Meereen as its capital, and its governor will be Tyrion Lannister, the former Governor of Lys. Jalal is the deputy governor of Dragon's Bay and also serves as the intelligence chief of Dragon's Bay; Kyle serves as the garrison of Dragon's Bay Sir; Kairos is promoted to Commander of the Second Legion; Gray Worm remains as Commander of the Unsullied Legion."
"Except for Gray Worm and Kairos, the above personnel are all staying at Dragon Bay. As for the new Governor Tyrion, he is still in Reese. I will ride a dragon to bring him here. During this period, Jalal will temporarily take charge of the dragon. The bay.”
After hearing Gavin's appointment, everyone had different expressions.
Jalal's face was filled with uncontrollable joy, and his eyes shone with excitement. Sure enough, as Maester Qyburn said, His Majesty will never be stingy with rewards as long as he sees talent.
He bowed and saluted again: "Your Majesty, thank you for your trust. I will do my best to live up to your expectations. I will definitely keep the intelligence work of Longzhi Bay in order and help manage this land."
Kairos was also beaming with joy, and he was even more delighted to be promoted to commander of the Second Legion. He straightened his back and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I will lead the Second Army to fight bravely for Dragon's Bay and protect the peace and glory of this land." His heart was full of fighting spirit, eager to take on the new position Build merit.
Kairos felt both the joy of promotion and the worry about going on an expedition. He understood that the Second Army he led would play an important role in this war, but he also knew that the road ahead was full of challenges. He took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, I will live up to your trust and lead the Second Legion to fight for the glory of Dragon Bay."
Kyle's mood is more complicated. On the one hand, he is grateful that he can serve as the garrison commander of Dragon's Bay, which means that he can continue to practice his ideals on this land. However, he still felt a little disappointed when he lost his position as commander of the Second Army.
He lowered his head slightly, raised it again after a moment, and said firmly: "Your Majesty, I will do my best to protect the Bay of Dragons."
Grey Worm still had no expression on his face, as if no appointment could stir up waves in his heart. He sat there quietly, as silent as usual, but his eyes revealed loyalty, and he only knew to obey Gavin's orders.
Gavin looked at the reactions of the crowd, especially Kyle, who had a bottom in his heart. After all, the other party was forced to surrender under his intimidation. Now this position is a relatively ideal result for both parties.
He cleared his throat and said: "I believe that everyone can do their job, for the future of the Bay of Dragons and for your future. Now, let's start discussing the specific details of the troops..."
Two days later, the dawn had just broken through the sky, and the faint golden light was sprinkled on the ancient and solid walls of Meereen. The breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness in the morning.
Gavin, wearing an exquisite and solid riding suit, walked towards the blazing shadow waiting for him in the square. The huge body of the dragon shone in the morning light, and its ruby-like eyes flashed with majestic light. Gavin jumped onto the dragon's back lightly, holding the reins tightly in his hands, as if there was an invisible tacit understanding between him and the dragon.
With Gavin's low command, the dragon spread its extremely broad wings, and the powerful airflow swept around instantly. The dragon suddenly jumped up and rushed into the blue sky. The sound of its wings flapping was like thunder, echoing in every corner of Meereen. The people in the city stopped their work and looked up at the sky with awe in their eyes.
At the same time, the huge and heavy gate of Meereen slowly opened, making a dull and distant sound.
The Second Legion and the Unsullied Legion walked out of the city gate in a neat pace. The army of 22,000 people began to march towards the disputed land in the distance like a surging steel torrent.
The soldiers were dressed in armor that shone with metallic luster, and the weapons in their hands gleamed coldly under the sunlight. The Unsullied Legion was like a silent mountain, their steps were in unison, and their expressionless faces revealed an indestructible majesty.
The sound of horse hooves rang out crisply, as if it was a war song played by the earth. Every step raised a small piece of dust, and countless dust gradually gathered into a hazy dust mist behind the army, which was like a layer of golden gauze under the penetration of the sun.
Gavin rode on the back of the dragon, overlooking the army that was slowly marching like a long dragon below. A heroic emotion surged in his heart. He had conquered the Stone Steps, Rees, and Dragon Bay one after another. Now his army was moving towards the disputed land. Soon he would conquer it, connect all his territories, and completely form a huge empire.
The Blazing Shadow was like a lightning that broke through the sky, galloping across the sky at an amazing speed. Its agile figure shuttled through the wind, as if it was integrated with the wind. The Gulf of Sorrow passed by it quickly, and before the sun rose completely, it had already passed through it, and before noon, it arrived over the Summer Sea.
Gavin rode on the back of Chiying, feeling the lightning-fast speed. He stared into the distance, and could already see the majestic gray fog of the distant Sea of Smoke, standing like a mysterious giant curtain between heaven and earth. Gavin squinted his eyes slightly, and after a simple identification of the direction, he directed Chiying to start circling the ruins.
In the air, Gavin's sharp eyes noticed that there were many broken wooden boards floating on the sea. Those wooden boards rose and fell under the beating of the waves, as if they were fragments abandoned by the sea. There were also scattered wooden barrels and boxes among them, some of which had been broken, and the items inside were scattered and floated on the sea. These were the wreckage of the ships that had crashed during this period and the goods they transported, and the culprit for all this was the terrifying sea monster hidden in the deep sea.
The wreckage of the wrecked ships seemed to be silently telling the despair and fear they felt when they encountered the sea monster. The side of the ship was torn apart by a huge force, and the traces of broken wooden boards were like hideous wounds. It can be imagined that the sea monster suddenly jumped out of the deep sea and crushed the ship with its huge and terrifying tentacles.
Gavin gently patted Chiying's neck, signaling it to move forward. Chiying made a low cry, as if responding to Gavin, and then accelerated. Under its wings, the broken wooden boards, barrels and boxes gradually went away, and the gray fog in the sea of smoke in the distance was still like a mysterious shadow, shrouding this sea area.
At this moment, Gavin's heart suddenly palpitated, as if an invisible hand was tightly grasping his heart. A strong sixth sense surged into his heart like a tide, making him instantly feel the approach of danger. His eyes scanned the surroundings eagerly, but he could not see anything wrong except the surging sea and the gray fog in the distance.
As if sensing Gavin's nervousness and vigilance, Chiying, who was in tune with him, could not help but let out a roar. The voice was full of vigilance and uneasiness, echoing in the empty sky. Gavin forced himself to suppress the strong throbbing in his heart, stretched out his hand and gently patted Chiying's neck, trying to calm its anxious mood. His eyes revealed caution, signaling Chiying to stay away from the mysterious and dangerous Valyrian ruins.
Feeling Gavin's intention, Chiying spread his broad and powerful wings, began to climb high, and flew in the opposite direction of the smoke. Its wings flapped the air, making a whirring sound, as if racing against the unknown danger.
Suddenly, without any warning, a huge black shadow shot towards Chiying from the sea. The black shadow was extremely fast, accompanied by the whistling wind, instantly breaking the tranquility of the sky. Gavin's eyes were attracted by the sudden black shadow. He looked down and saw that it was a broken and thick strange pole, shooting like a sharp arrow. Under the sunlight, the strange pole still had the luster of sea water, but it was deadly threatening.
Gavin shouted: "Dodge!" However, although the huge body of Chiying tried his best to dodge, he only barely avoided the fragile wings, but he had no time to completely avoid this sudden attack.
The strange pole hit Chiying's abdomen like a cannonball. With the addition of strong kinetic energy, the wooden strange pole actually tore Chiying's tough dragon scales and cut a hideous wound.
In an instant, countless dragon blood gushed out like a spring, and the hot dragon blood fell on the sea, making a "sizzling" sound, and white steam rose up.
Chiying let out a painful roar, and the sound seemed to tear the sky apart.
Its flying movements also became a little unstable because of the sudden pain, and its body swayed in the air, like a leaf swaying in the wind and falling rapidly.
Chiying flapped its wings hard, trying to keep its balance. Finally, Chiying stabilized its body before approaching the sea.
Its breathing became rapid and heavy, and every breath was accompanied by painful tremors. Gavin could feel its pain, and his heart was full of worry and anger.
He held Chiying's reins tightly and looked at the sea again. He saw that the sea surface, which was just calm, was erected with seven or eight tentacles as thick as two adults, covered with suction cups and mucus.
Three of the tentacles were still wrapped with three broken poles, as if ready to attack again at any time.
It was a sea monster, and it looked just as the captains had described, with most of its body hidden underwater, from which it extended its tentacles to attack.
