The Mountain of Ice and Fire

Moony Singer smiled, "Alicia, Caesar wants to use your power to eliminate the necromancers."

Alicia looked at Moony Singer coldly, "Dragon, dragon knight, fire warlock, red-robed monk, Red God priest, Shadowbinder, we are all children of R'hllor."

Moony Singer was stunned for a moment, "Alicia, so you've allied with Caesar, are you going to welcome the King of Qarth together?"

"Moony Singer Elder, you can choose to live in seclusion, you can choose to welcome the King of Qarth, you can choose to leave, or you can choose to join us."

"I think I'll keep my distance. I don't like politics." Moony Singer Elder's smile became strained, "I won't allow our Moony Singers to serve the royal family either."

"Then, would Moony Singer prefer the water of the Ash River to be clear and drinkable? Or do they prefer it as it is now, grayish-black and poisonous? When our gold and jade are mined, and no foreign ships bring us food and water, will the long-lived Moony Singers choose to drink seawater or the water of the Ash River? Will the Moony Singers choose to move to another city again?" Fire Warlock Elder Caesar Jielue said indifferently. His head was always held high, and his eyes were always looking at the sky above.

Moony Singer Elder was stunned.

"Moony Singer only wants to enjoy sweet water, but is unwilling to lend a helping hand, is that so?" Caesar Jielue's tone was indifferent, with a hint of threat.

"What? Does the Fire Warlock Guild also want to start a war with Moony Singer?" Moony Singer Elder's calm voice contained vigilance and grimness.

"When Moony Singer brings black death to Asshai like the necromancers, instead of fire-like brilliance, that's when Moony Singer will be in danger. Without eliminating the necromancers, the curse of Asshai will be difficult to remove. Fire burns everything and brings light, while the necromancers' magical power will only bring decay and darkness to Asshai. Their magical power is constantly enhancing Asshai's cursed dark magic," Caesar said indifferently.

"Caesar doesn't need to quote the words in the ancient books to me," Moony Singer Elder sneered.

"Since Moony Singer Elder has read the ancient prophecies, why don't you welcome the King of Qarth? When the six dragons start burning ghost grass, you should know what that means?" Alicia stared at Moony Singer Elder coldly.

"Selfish!" Caesar said, "Moony Singer Elder understands everything, but he is unwilling to contribute. There is no other reason, selfish! When Red God Guta and the Fire Warlock Guild clear everything, the Moony Singers will stand up and express their support."

"Oh, is that so?" Alicia stared at Moony Singer unceremoniously.

Moony Singer was speechless: Not wanting to make enemies is also one of the secrets to Moony Singer's longevity and immortality. Of course, Moony Singer is not truly long-lived and immortal; immortality only describes Moony Singer's longevity to an unbelievable extent.

The Immortal Warlock slowly, slowly said, "Moony Singer also stated a fact: he said the Judicator Elder is in the sea. Then, many of the King of Qarth's generals in the sea will be killed by him. If Quaithe isn't by the King of Qarth's side, he will also be killed by the Judicator Elder, right? If Alicia passes this information on to avoid the deaths of some of the King of Qarth's generals, that can be considered a small contribution from him."

The Immortal Warlock's words gave the feeling that a century had passed.

But the Immortal Warlock's words did not arouse Alicia's interest. As long as the King of Qarth is not in danger, Alicia has no interest in the Judicator Elder killing the King of Qarth's generals. Perhaps all mortals must die. The death of some of the king's soldiers and generals is normal in Alicia's eyes.

"Moony Singer Elder, Immortal Warlock, I want you to join us and drive away the necromancers, dark warlocks, torturers, poisoners, and night stalkers in Asshai. These people's magical power is all dark magic; they can only bring blackness to Asshai and deepen the curse's magic. Black walls, black castles, black long streets, and the black Ash River are all things we do not need. It is time to make a change, Moony Singer, Immortal Warlock."

"What if we don't join?" The Immortal Warlock slowly, slowly said.

"Then you will turn into ashes in the flames," Caesar Jielue said indifferently.

Boom!

Flames blazed on Caesar Jielue's body; he became a burning candle. Flames surrounded him from top to bottom, but his hair and clothes were unharmed.

"Not joining is also making an enemy of Red God Guta," Alicia said indifferently. Four red-robed monks drew their long swords. They not only practiced fire and shadow magic, but they were also proficient in swordsmanship. This is also what makes the Red God Guta extremely dreaded by the warlocks; warlocks are all incompetent in close combat and have no strength to truss a chicken.

"I will not join your alliance, but I accept the arrival of the King of Qarth. Moony Singer will act alone and launch attacks on necromancers, dark warlocks, poisoners, and night stalkers. We will not publicly declare them enemies, nor will we publicly attack them; we will do it in the dark," Moony Singer Elder said.

Alicia sneered, "When the King of Qarth's warships enter the port, the king will issue an order, ordering necromancers, dark warlocks, poisoners, and night stalkers to leave Asshai on their own. Those who hide will be jointly hunted down by the Fire Warlock Guild, Red God Guta, Moony Singer, and the Immortal Warlock."

"Haha! Hahahaha!" Moony Singer Elder laughed dryly.

Once this order is issued, it will be impossible for Moony Singer to stay out of it. Even if they do not participate, they will be regarded as enemies by the necromancers and others, and there is no solution.

Moony Singer Elder looked at the Immortal Warlock. The warlock, who was on the verge of death but never died, slowly, slowly said one word: "Okay!"

At sea, Asha was invincible. With Theon's assistance in piloting the small boat, she killed more than a dozen Asshai soldiers in a row. Behind Asha were densely packed naval warriors, all good swimmers, blocking the surface and underwater, preventing Asshai soldiers from approaching the fleet.

Many of the naval warriors who went into the sea to fight were followers of the Drowned God developed by Euron.

The first step for the Drowned God's followers is to be held down in the sea until they faint. When their bodies float up from the seawater, the Euron priest will rescue them.

This ritual has a great benefit: it makes the soldiers believe that they will never drown again. Even if they drown, they will be awakened by the priest and reborn. If they are not reborn, it is not death, but going to the Drowned God's watery palace to enjoy the service of mermaids.

Other people's subjects go to heaven after death, but the Drowned God's followers go to the watery palace after death—and they will be reincarnated: What is dead may never die, but rises again, harder and stronger!

The power of faith is invincible!

The soldiers following Asha were also invincible.

Every Asshai soldier was good at diving, but this time they met their nemesis: Drowned God soldiers!

Priest Euron's prayers, standing on the flagship's bulwark, drifted across the sea and spread far and wide, giving the Drowned God soldiers strong spiritual support.

The soldiers armed with faith boosted the courage and morale of the other soldiers. Soon, the oncoming Asshai soldiers encountered a head-on blow. Their surface and underwater advancing formations were shattered one by one. Asha alone penetrated them several times back and forth. Whether on the surface or underwater, the battle was one-sided. Asshai soldiers were killed one after another, and blood stained the seawater red.

Asha emerged from the seawater again, half of her body standing on the sea. She surveyed the battle situation. The blood of the enemies around her was quickly diluted by the seawater. Some corpses floated on the surface, and more corpses sank to the bottom of the sea.

The Asshai soldiers floating on the surface suffered casualties even faster. The tactics of the Mountain achieved great success: small boats cooperated with soldiers in the seawater to block the entire water area. The soldiers on the small boats were responsible for shooting arrows at the enemies on the surface and the enemies who floated up from underwater to breathe. The soldiers in the water were responsible for intercepting underwater.

The Qarth navy had more numbers and high morale. The Drowned God soldiers were not afraid of death; they firmly believed that the seawater could no longer drown them. The Asshai small boats had retreated after the soldiers went into the water. They had no coordinated surface and underwater tactics, and they did not expect the enemy to dare to jump into the sea to meet them.

The Qarth navy also dared to fight in the water. This was something the Asshai Judicators had never expected before. They had no emergency plan for this.

"Asha!" Theon, standing at the bow of the small boat, pointed to the left side.

On the sea on the left side, the Qarth naval warriors had disappeared at some point. There were no small boats on the water, and no soldiers were floating on the surface. Not a single one. Only a few flags floated on the surface.

The situation was very strange.

The soldiers in the water, no matter how good they were at diving, would float up to breathe. Everyone staggered their breathing times, so at least some warriors could be seen floating at any time.

But on the left side, neither an Asshai soldier nor a Qarth soldier could be seen now.

"Go and take a look!" Asha said.

Before she finished speaking, the soldiers on a small boat on the left side who were cheering for victory suddenly shouted loudly. Some soldiers were desperately stabbing the bottom of the water with long swords and spears. Boom, with a sound, the small boat was overturned by some kind of huge force. A person jumped out of the water like a fish. When he skimmed across the surface of the water, the scimitar in his hand cut open the necks of two soldiers.

A naked Asshai man with a Judicator mask on his face.

The Judicator mask is the symbol of a knight.

An invincible Judicator Knight. It is very likely that he alone cleared the Qarth soldiers on the outermost left and punctured all those small boats.

Theon was dumbfounded.

He had never seen someone so proficient in swimming and with such invincible combat skills.

Theon turned his head to look at Asha. He wanted Asha to be careful.

Theon turned his head, but Asha's figure was no longer on the water. She had dived underwater.

Theon panicked. Asha was the commander-in-chief of the navy, and Theon believed that Asha might not be that person's opponent. Even if Asha could kill the opponent in the water, she would most likely be severely injured by the opponent, endangering her life.

"Quick, row over there," Theon shouted.

The soldiers on the small boat all saw the terrifying Judicator Knight. The man, floating up and down, had already killed all the soldiers on the capsized boat. He jumped onto the small boat that was floating on the surface with only a little of the bottom showing, and stood on it like a statue.

This made that guy an immediate target for everyone. Many people clamored and rushed towards that guy.

Woo woo woo woo woo!

Theon blew the horn in time, ordering everyone to retreat.

The sound of the horn stopped the soldiers and small boats that were going to encircle the enemy. Theon's small boat stood out from the crowd and sailed towards that guy.

The Judicator Knight was still standing on the bottom of the overturned small boat. He raised the scimitar in his hand and pointed it at Theon from afar. This was obviously a provocation.

Theon had already tightened the bow and arrow, but he lowered it instead of holding it up horizontally. He was a marksman, and had never missed in recent years, but the opponent was too agile and powerful, so Theon lowered the bow and arrow to paralyze the enemy. When the opponent's scimitar pointed at him, Theon's arrow shot out.

This arrow was extremely fast and accurate.

Although on the bumpy small boat, Theon also rose and fell with the boat, this did not affect Theon's archery skills at all. Theon, who had been drowned and resurrected in the Blackwater Bay naval battle, had roamed the sea with his Uncle Euron after meeting him, traveling tens of thousands of miles and lasting several years. Theon's archery, swimming skills, swordsmanship, experience, etc., were all different from what they used to be. The only thing that hadn't changed was his love for beautiful women, his willingness to spend gold on beauties, and never regretting it.

The Judicator Knight paid the price for his arrogance and carelessness. His left calf was pierced by a sharp arrow. At the moment he was shot, he was turning upside down into the sea.

Theon injured the enemy with an arrow, and the generals and soldiers burst into deafening cheers!

In the cheers, the nearest generals and soldiers arrived at the water area where the man was shot before Theon arrived. When Theon's boat arrived, dozens or hundreds of people dived into the water, but the man's shadow was not seen.

After being shot by an arrow, that guy disappeared like this.

Did he escape by swimming, or did he sink to the bottom of the sea because he was shot?

But Theon knew that the man would not sink to the bottom of the sea. Theon's arrow was not poisoned.

What was strange was that Asha had not appeared since diving underwater.

Theon looked around. On the sea, there were only sporadic battles, and everywhere there were cheers of victory from the Qarth soldiers. However, Asha and the Judicator Knight who was shot by an arrow both disappeared.

No matter how powerful they are, they need to float up to breathe.

It would be fine if the enemy did not appear in the water area, because as soon as he appeared, there would be Qarth soldiers everywhere, and he would surely die. But it was strange that Asha did not appear either.

"Asha!" Theon shouted.

Everything on the sea remained the same, without Asha's shadow.

*

Below the Mountain's flagship, a figure swam like a fish from under the intercepting soldiers, and then swam up from the depths of the sea. The black shadow in front of him became more and more obvious. It was the flagship's huge bottom.

A red cloth strip was tied to this figure's left leg. It was the red turban on the head of a Qarth naval warrior he had killed. The red turban was used to distinguish it from the Asshai soldiers.

This figure was the invincible Judicator Elder. After being shot by Theon's arrow, he put away his thoughts of underestimating others, dived down, and attacked the enemy's flagship.

Sinking the flagship was the Judicator Elder's initial tactic. He now put away the killing and returned to the initial tactic.

The sharp cone was held in his hand, and the Judicator Elder thrust it down hard into the wooden planks of the ship's bottom.

The first thrust was extremely deep.
