Game of Thrones: Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Chapter 36: The storm is approaching

   Conquered June 284 in the calendar.

   Three months are fleeting.

   The dull sky is filled with thick clouds, as if a heavy rain is about to come.

   From a distance, the naked eye can see a storm brewing, lightning flashes, thunderstorms, and torrential winds.

   Under this natural disaster, warships were spreading out on the sea, sailing in silence through the waves. Drove into the distance.

   Veselis was standing on the second floor of the Black Reaper's deck, facing the howling sea breeze, her long silver-gold hair fluttering freely in the wind, revealing her white forehead.

   The boy was wearing a clean and tidy leather armor inlaid with metal pieces on the chest and abdomen and other key parts to protect the vitals. He was wearing a dagger around his waist, and he was holding a bow and a quiver in his hand. He looked heroic.

   And there are many soldiers on the deck below him who are busy with what they are doing. They withdraw the sails, fix the things on the deck that cannot be dragged to the warehouse, and make every effort to prepare for the upcoming storm.

   "The storm is approaching."

   "Your Highness."

   And at this moment.

   A somewhat hoarse voice came from behind Veserys, it was Sir Jeffrey, the commander of the Dragon Stone Island fleet.

   The little old man has now changed his casual clothes and put on armor, because they are not far from the destination of this trip.

   "Why did you choose this time to launch an attack?"

As a veteran who has been at sea for most of his life, Sir Jeffrey is no stranger to storms. The sky near Longshi Island was already gloomy and terrifying half a month ago. It seems that a big storm is about to come. .

   Originally, Sir Jeffrey decided to let all the ships of the Dragon Stone Island fleet huddle in the harbor during these few days, waiting for the storm surge to pass.

  According to the old Sir’s half-life experience on the sea, the storm is not terrible. As long as the ship is secured with ropes during the few days when the storm is coming, the loss will not be too great.

   However, I don’t know why, Veserys wants to propose at this time to launch a surprise attack on the Baratheon fleet, which is being built and not yet formed.

   The reason he gave was that the enemy would never have thought that they would launch a surprise attack when the storm was approaching.

   And at this time, you can destroy all the enemy's ships in one go, and deal a heavy blow to the enemy's morale.

   This kind of ‘half-crossing strike’ is more useful than harassing Wind's Breath to prevent them from building a fleet from the beginning.

   and can also lead the fleet to escape the storm surge.

   However, although Veselis is eloquent, the content is a bit dry and doesn't have much weight.

   And this is actually a very risky behavior.

   But what everyone didn't expect was that after careful consideration, the old Sir actually agreed to such a bold adventure as Veserys.

   So the Dragon Stone Island fleet pulled out the anchor and set sail, escaped the vortex center of the approaching storm with the fastest speed, passed the Blackwater Bay and the throat of the approaching storm, bypassed the sharp corners, and sailed into the distance.

   Everything was fine at the beginning. The fleet left Dragon Stone Island very early, and evacuated before the storm.

   However, in the next few days, as the fleet traveled above the sea, the old knight's heart was getting colder and colder, and he was even faintly afraid.

  Because the fleet has sailed for several days in a row, it hasn't gone out of the coverage of this storm, which shows how huge the scale of this storm will be.

   If he didn't listen to Visiris's opinion, he made a stubborn decision to let the fleet dock in the port, hoping that he would be able to withstand the storm.

   Then I am afraid that this royal fleet will be hit hard, almost completely swallowed by the sea.

   So he was very curious about how Wesiris made such a judgment and why he would require the fleet to leave Longshi Island for an expedition during the critical period when the queen is about to give birth.

   Could it be that this boy also predicted that this time the storm will be unprecedentedly huge?

   "Did Your Highness also guessed something?"

   the old Sir asked curiously.

   And at this moment.

   blast—

   The waves above the sea were rough, and the rushing waves slammed on the deck. The storm finally caught up with the fleeing Longshidao fleet after half a month.

   Wow —

   A heavy rain fell instantly, wantonly venting the anger accumulated over the past few days, the soldiers on the lower deck were hurriedly fixing the things on the deck.

   While Viselis was standing on top and grasping the railing tightly, the sea wind roared into his ears, almost drowning the sound of the two people talking.

   The boy heard Sir Jeffrey's words with great effort, then shook his head and responded loudly.

"Do not!"

   "I guessed too!"

   However, the old Sir was not satisfied with the answer. He also grasped the railing hard, and looked up at the dark sky in the distance. The heavy rain above his head was pouring down, the wind was violent, and the rain was pouring.

   "Oh, isn't it?"

   immediately retracted his gaze into the distance, turned his head, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com gave the boy a meaningful look.

   Since three months ago, the old and the young had a face-to-face meeting, Sir Jeffrey felt that the boy seemed to be a little bit magical. Sometimes he was very clever, and sometimes he looked a little stupid.

   And the reason why he would agree to Veserys's risky move and set off before the storm is about to come is because he received a letter from Xuecheng not long ago.

   Xuecheng has a bachelor who specializes in observing astronomical phenomena. In recent days, it has delivered letters to the entire city and port on the east coast of Westeros.

   It all shows that according to the observation of the Bachelor of Astronomy, the narrow sea will have the strongest storm surge in history in the near future.

   The bachelor of astronomy wearing a bronze bachelor’s collar predicted that this time the largest storm surge vortex in the history of Westeros will be near Longshi Island.

   Xuecheng did not change its attitude because of the change of the Iron Throne. The purpose of the bachelors is to serve all mankind. The bachelors are regarded as the servants of Westeros just like the brothers of the night watch.

  Any bachelor is not politically inclined in theory.

   So they also sent a letter to Dragon Stone Island to deliver a warning message.

   However, Sir Jeffrey did not treat it as the same thing at first.

   But as the terrible celestial phenomenon became more and more obvious, the old jazz couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart, but after all he did not make up his mind.

   After all, the queen is about to give birth, the fleet should be guarded on the side of Longshi Island to prevent any accidents from happening again.

   However, Viselis' words were like the last straw that overwhelmed the camel, and finally made the old knight determined and led the fleet to escape from Dragon Stone Island.

  If the fleet is all buried in the storm, then the queen's safety will naturally not be guaranteed.
