Chapter 314 Battle of Lannisport

"You said the Greyjoy family's iron fleet appeared overseas. Are you sure?"

In the only castle on Fairy Island, Sebastian Farman, the Earl of Fairy Island, was holding the wine glass in his hand blankly, looking at the boy in front of him who came to report the news, and he couldn't believe his ears.

Although Fairy Island is not a wealthy and powerful island, due to the need to face plunder from Ironborn pirates all year round, all the men have received military training and are known to be tough and tough.

In addition, Lannisport is only less than two hours away from Fairy Island by boat, so most of the people who come to Fairy Island are little pirates who rob and run away, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

But if the Iron Fleet of the Greyjoy family comes to Fairy Island in person, the situation will be completely different!

Thinking of this, Sebastian put down the wine glass in his hand with a heavy face and shouted to the few knights and bachelors in the castle:

"Immediately find out the identity and strength of the invading fleet. At the same time, send ravens to Lannisport and ask them to send a fleet to help us repel the invading enemy!"

"As you command!"

The knights also realized the seriousness of the problem, so they returned to their fiefdoms as quickly as possible, preparing to seize the time to summon the peasants to take refuge in the city, and at the same time distribute weapons to them.

Yes, although Fairy Island is just an ordinary island similar in size to Bear Island, several villages on the island were still sealed off to meritorious knights in order to increase their appearance.

Seeing the knights retreating away, Sebastian sat on the seat in the hall with a heavy face, then slammed the wine glass to the ground and cursed angrily:

"Damn it, are those barbarians trying to stage another Greyjoy rebellion? How dare they openly violate the peace treaty, aren't they afraid of the Iron Throne's retaliation?!"

Since the Greyjoy Rebellion decades ago was defeated by the coalition led by Robert, the Iron Islands had to sign a "non-aggression treaty" with the West in humiliation, and the fleet was not allowed to appear in the waters of the West.

And now that the treaty has been broken, it is most likely a signal that war is coming!

Recalling the tragic past of Fairy Island being captured by the Ironborn several times in history, and members of the Farman family being raped, raped, and raped in various ways, Sebastian couldn't help but tremble slightly, which eventually turned into a deep sigh.

:

"Now we can only hope that the Lannisters in Lannisport can take into account the friendship of the past and send a fleet to support as soon as possible."

——Two hours later, Lannisport

However, Sebastian, who was having trouble sleeping and eating at this time, probably would not know that the Iron Fleet did not regard his Fairy Island as the main threat to the Eastern Expedition, but just as an appetizer that could be eaten at a glance.

Although the ravens carrying messages from Fairy Island may put Lannisport on guard, Victarion, as the commander of the Iron Fleet, doesn't care.

Their target has always been Lannisport, one of the most important trading ports in Westeros, and the Lannister fleet parked in the port!

Ding ding ding…

On the Invincible Iron Type, the crew on the watchtower suddenly began to shake the bells in their hands, and at the same time shouted to the crew below:

"It's Lannisport! It seems that the Lannister family's fleet has not left the port yet, and the city gates are still open!"

"Great, these bastards from the West are defenseless now!"

"Commander Victarion, give the order for a full-scale attack. Let us use blood and sharp blades to help these weak lambs remember your heroic act in the surprise attack on Lannisport!"

Upon hearing that Lannisport was currently undefended, the surrounding crew members immediately began to wave their weapons excitedly and looked excitedly at the majestic figure standing at the bow of the ship.

As the crew of the Invincible Ironborn, a large part of them were actually survivors of the Greyjoy Rebellion, and they also witnessed the legendary Lannisport surprise attack with their own eyes.

But now, the overall strength of the Iron Fleet has been several times that of before, so it is fully capable of launching an epic surprise attack again!

Looking at the excited iron warriors around him, Victarion also felt that his emotions were aroused, so he couldn't help but raise the battle ax in his hand and shouted:

"The long-awaited moment has finally arrived. Now we stand on this familiar sea again, just to prove that the sacrifices of those comrades who died here were not in vain!

In order to once again unveil the ideal of Sea Stone, and to achieve the 'Drowned God', Lannisport, we are back!"

"Ouch-ouch——"

Hearing Victarion's sensational shouts, the surrounding iron warriors raised their weapons and roared excitedly, and even the Pendor soldiers on other battleships also cheered.

Although they couldn't hear Victarion's speech due to the distance problem, seeing everyone roaring, they naturally needed to understand it, right?

The screams of the Ironborn covered the sky and the sun, and the whole sea seemed to be penetrated by a low roar like a sea monster, which immediately frightened many fishing boats in Lannisport.

Woo——

The movement of hundreds of warships appearing on the sea naturally attracted the attention of the Lannisport watchtower. As a shrill alarm horn came from the watchtower, the port guard immediately began to take action:

"Quick, quick, the archers immediately climbed up the city wall to cover, and at the same time, we seized the time to push the trebuchet out of the warehouse. We don't have much time to waste!"

"Let the fleet not huddle in the port and wait for death. Let the crew board the ship immediately and prepare for a naval battle under the cover of the coastal defense forces!"

Facing hundreds of Ironborn warships on the sea, Lannisport did not experience any breakdown in order due to panic, but instead began an orderly evacuation operation.

The people and merchants were taking refuge in the city under the cover of the red-robed Lannister soldiers. The crew members also returned to their respective warships, and Yang Fan set sail to prepare for battle with the iron fleet in the distance.

On the city wall, thousands of Lannister standing troops wearing red heavy armor were holding sharp spears and gorgeous shields, with no fear on their weather-beaten faces.

As the Lannisport garrison, which is world-famous for its well-trained training, the Lannister family has equipped them with the best weapons and equipment in the continent. Even the garrison of King's Landing and Old Town cannot compare.

The fleet of the Lannister family is also famous for its large number in the sea. After the humiliation caused by Victarion's sneak attack decades ago, this fleet finally recovered its terror of nearly two hundred warships.

quantity.

Not long after, Kevan Lannister, the lord of Lannisport and the younger brother of Tywin Lannister, Duke of the West, appeared on the city wall wearing armor, looked at the iron fleet in the distance and frowned:

"They are all large warships with a size of more than 100 meters, and the style also adopts an unprecedented combination of sailboat hull and trebuchet. Where can the backwaters of the Iron Islands get the money to build such a fleet?"

In order to suppress the development of the Iron Islands, the merchant ships of the Westerlands have basically never exported any high-quality wood that can be used to build warships to the Iron Islands, so the Ironborn usually can only cut down trees from the North and the Reach.

According to his brother Tywin's expectations, the Iron Islands' fleet would soon have to use outdated and outdated longships due to a lack of enough wood and good blacksmiths, eventually leading to a decline in combat effectiveness.

The reason why Tywin has allocated funds to the Lannister fleet over the years is because he hopes that one day he can fly the red lion battle flag over the Iron Islands and wash away the shame of the fleet being wiped out in a sneak attack.

However, now, after Kevan witnessed the cutting-edge battleships of the Iron Fleet with his own eyes, he immediately realized that his brother's efforts over the years seemed to be in vain.

Such a large and sophisticated fleet does not look like it lacks wood and blacksmiths at all...

Looking at the fleet on the sea in the distance, a coldness flashed across Kevan's eyes. It seemed that after so many years, the Greyjoy family had forgotten the roar of the lion.

Since these Iron Islands fleets dare to invade the territorial waters of the West, then be prepared to be destroyed by the Lannister fleet!

"The Lannister fleet is not a vegetarian lion. It ordered all the fleets to be dispatched. The family has spent so much money on them. It is time to prove their role."

Following Kevan's order, nearly two hundred warships began to raise their sails, and at the same time accelerated their sliding oars, rushing towards the iron fleet in the distance that was completely powered by sails.

Although in terms of experience, the sailors of the Lannister family may not be as brave and skilled as the ironborn of the Greyjoy family, this does not mean that their strength is weaker than that of ordinary sailors.

Rumble——

The trebuchets began to roar continuously, and huge rocks flew out from the Lannister fleet, shooting towards the Iron Fleet in the distance that had not yet entered the range.

Regardless of their actual combat experience, at least in terms of momentum, the large Lannister fleet can easily crush the entire iron fleet.

Viewed from a high altitude, the Lannister family's fleet looks like a lion with its jaws wide open, trying to swallow the Greyjoy family's fleet into its mouth!

"Are you going to use the number of trebuchets to suppress us with firepower? You are actually preparing to bring the land battle style into the naval battle. It is really expected and naive."

However, faced with this situation, Victarion did not look panicked at all. Instead, he looked with interest at the Lannister fleet that was rapidly approaching the Iron Fleet, and taunted:

"Hey, do you still dare to come here? Instead of cowering in the port, do you actively come towards me? Then come closer!"

"Commander, what tactics should we use next?"

"Tactics? Who do you think I am? Move all the ships closer to me!"

"Huh?!"

"Since they want to take advantage of the numerical advantage of the trebuchets, then let all the ships join the gang battle. I want to see if they dare to smash their own warships together!"

Looking at the Lannister fleet in the distance, which was gradually approaching within shooting range, Victarion's face was filled with a bloodthirsty smile, and then he raised his battle ax high and shouted to the crew behind him:

"Launch the trebuchet, let me open the sails to the maximum, let us take the lead, and all the warships will come alongside me!"

"Ouch!"

After receiving Victarion's order, all the iron fleets rushed towards the Lannister fleet at the fastest speed, and all the irons' eyes were filled with dark red murderous intent.

Looking at the Invincible Ironborn leading the charge, every Ironborn captain felt as if there was a churning sea monster in their hearts that was stirring their heartstrings.

However, as the speed of the ship increased and the waves caused by the boulders falling into the water, even the hundred-meter-long sailing warship began to fall into bumps, which was a pain for those Pendor soldiers who were not good at naval battles:

"vomit……"

"Damn it, why are you so panicked? Is this broken ship going to fall apart?"

"I originally thought that I could make some military exploits on the battlefield, but I didn't expect that I would be caught in such a bumpy situation. I knew I wouldn't be here, vomit..."

In the cabin, the panic-stricken Pandor soldiers heard the sound of water splashing in their ears, felt the wooden hull of the ship constantly shaking, and couldn't help but tremble with fear.

After all, since the continent of Pendor has basically been unified, and the only resistance force of the Noldor elves is hiding in the Black Forest and refusing to come out, there is no need to train a large navy.

In this case, most of these Pendor soldiers were natives of the inland. Although they learned to swim due to Rohan's mandatory requirements, they were of little use in such a fierce naval battle!

Faced with this situation, many Pendor soldiers touched their hands to the silver cross pendants that emitted a faint light around their waists, and began to close their eyes and pray devoutly to Lady Misty.

They are willing to sacrifice their lives and souls for Lady Mist, but it would be too frustrating if they were buried in the belly of a fish just because of poor water quality!

A soldier who couldn't swim couldn't help but cautiously came to another Pendor warrior wearing dark silver full-body plate armor, and asked in a low voice:

"Dear Brother Roland, can Lady Mist really protect us from the fate of sinking to the bottom of the sea?"

Hearing the uneasiness in the soldier's words, the battle monk known as Roland couldn't help but look up at the soldier, and then comforted him in a gentle voice:

"The fact that you are sitting safely in the cabin now is a symbol of Lady Mist's protection."

"But monk, I just heard someone say that several battleships seemed to have been sunk. They were buried in the sea without even seeing the enemy. Isn't this too sad?"

"Sad? They sacrificed themselves for Lady Mist's great expedition. Isn't it a handsome thing for a man to sacrifice himself for the things he believes in?"

Looking at the Pende soldiers around him who were gradually settling down, Roland silently took out a "Holy Book of Mists" from his waist, and then continued to introduce in a soft voice:

"Since you are all so scared, let me explain to you some details about the Holy Scripture..."
