Chapter 155 Storm Calls (5/9)
Chapter 155 Storm Calls (59)
Under the gloomy sky, the huge iron fleet sailing on the gray sea was like a group of black monsters moving slowly forward, with the bows breaking through the sea and scattering in all directions. A large number of white seabirds kept flapping and chirping around the sails with different patterns.
The long ship at the head of the fleet had a sea monster figurehead and several sea monster sails. It was leading the way and looked majestic. On the edge of the deck of this ship, a tall middle-aged man in heavy black armor stood there quietly watching the sea ahead. Next to him was a gray-robed iron man who was as thin as a monkey, and was reporting the news in a low voice.
"Lord Euron has not sent any news. Maybe he still hasn't launched an attack on Seawall."
"Seawall is not easy to fight." The tall middle-aged man hummed and said, "Jason Mallister is an excellent enemy. It will not be easy for Euron to win."
"The usurper Robert is currently in Lannister Harbor, but we have not found out any other useful information, and Lord Aeron has not sent any news."
"We underestimated the appeal of the usurper."
The tall middle-aged man said, "But it doesn't matter. What can a large number of people do? They have too few ships."
"King Balon sent a message, asking you to pay more attention to the drowned people in the fleet and not let them cause new trouble."
"When I defeat Redwyne's fleet, I will pay special attention to them."
As he said, his eyes looked at the hazy shadow of the island at the end of his sight again.
The bay between Fairy Island and the mainland ahead was narrow and difficult to pass through, and according to the spies, the navy of the Reach was preparing to pass through there, which was an opportunity that the Iron Islands could not miss.
So he planned to defeat the fleet of the Reach in one fell swoop, and if this battle went well, the independence of the Iron Islands would basically be declared a victory.
But——
Feeling the cold sea breeze around him, the commander of the Iron Islands Navy named Victarion couldn't help but look up at the gloomy sky. After frowning for a while, he turned his head and ordered.
"Be ready to return at any time."
...
"Lord Aeron, this weather is a bit wrong!" The boat sailing against the wind swayed with the turbulence of the sea surface. The bald iron man paddled hard and shouted loudly, his arms tense and his face full of tension.
"We won't encounter a storm, right?"
"Shut up, Mudd, there is no storm in this season!?" The black-haired iron leader standing behind scolded.
However, his heart had sunk to the bottom.
As a nation that lives by the sea, the Ironmen are naturally very familiar with the signs of storms, and no matter how you look at it, the current environment seems very bad.
However, if they really encounter a storm, these small boats will not be able to escape the fate of being overturned...
"We should be not far from Victarion's fleet." Aeron couldn't help but say: "Speed up, hurry up, don't hold back!"
The people around nodded hurriedly when they heard it.
In this situation, the rough faces of the Ironmen were all tense, and no one had the mind to pay attention to the two captives in the corner, so naturally they couldn't know that the key to the problem was on this ship.
The loud shouting of oars continued, and the bumpy boat sailed hard on the sea, slowly moving towards the hope in the distance.
Unfortunately, before they really saw the shadow of the fleet, the wind around them quietly intensified and intensified, and finally bursts of cold rain came with the wind.
At this time, the sea below the ship was like an angry old horse. After being "ridden" by the Ironmen, it began to shake and struggle violently. The resulting turbulence made the three small boats in front and behind seem unstable and shaky.
This increasingly obvious phenomenon made many Ironmen on the ship shout to cheer each other up, but the sound was difficult to penetrate the fusion of wind and sea. So when the first small boat was suddenly overturned by a huge wave, this encouragement was completely declared over, and all the Ironmen were already filled with despair.
It didn't take too long, but the surrounding environment changed from calm to violent storms. In the chaotic and noisy climate, even standing up seemed particularly laborious, and it was even more difficult to open your eyes.
Squinting at the embarrassed appearance of the Ironmen, the boy tied in the corner of the boat smiled, then turned his head to look at the silver-haired woman who was soaked all over.
"Although we are enemies, I still hope you can survive."
His voice was not loud, but it was still audible because the distance was close enough. The other party glared at him, thinking that this guy was saying something sarcastic, but then she opened her eyes wide, because she suddenly saw that the boy in front of her had broken free from the ropes on his body and stood up with difficulty in the rainstorm.
"Good luck."
After throwing a dagger to the other party, the black-haired boy said the last sentence, and then tilted his head to look at the leading iron man who was bent over and hugged the mast at the bow.
The guy had already discovered the abnormality at the stern, and was now yelling at the boy, but his words were swallowed by the storm, and Renly didn't care much about it.
Originally, his purpose was to wait for these small boats to meet with the main force of the iron men before escaping, so that he might be able to defeat the iron men's fleet in one fell swoop, but the appearance of this storm was beyond his control.
"It's only been two days since we set sail and we've attracted a storm. Is this small probability calculated in seconds?"
Ren Li pondered over this question, but when he saw that the black-haired Ironborn leader was moving towards him, he stopped thinking about it. He ignored everything around him, stepped to the bow and jumped, and the short figure jumped directly into the sea with a splash.
The sea water that hit him was cold and penetrating, but when his body descended below the sea level, the surrounding environment became much warmer, but this warmth soon dissipated under the coldness coming from all directions.
Surrounded by sea water on all sides, the boy's thin mouth was tightly closed, and his strange ice-blue eyes opened quietly at this time. Being soaked in sea water, the feeling was completely different from the initial discomfort, but it seemed that he was not affected too much.
After diving for a while, Ren Li slid his limbs and began to shuttle in this ocean. After a while, he left the vicinity of the small boat. Then he shook his hands and turned to look up. The three small boats floating on the sea had now turned into three hazy shadows dotted in the dim sky.
After watching quietly for a few seconds, a silver cod came from the bottom of the sea. The boy's open fingers swept over it, and a blue light suddenly appeared at the fingertips, and then spread to Renly's whole body.
The boy's body twisted a few times in a trance, and then disappeared like smoke in the sea. Only a silver cod of the same appearance was left, circling for a while, and finally swung its tail into the dark depths of the ocean.
The fish that looked exactly the same also followed closely and left. There were sea fish of different shapes coming from all directions, as if they had smelled something tempting and kept gathering.
All of this was seen by the Ironborn leader who was lying on the boat on the sea. He was horrified to see the boy turn into a fish, and to see countless sea fish flying towards him. Finally, he watched the countless schools of fish gather and blend together, like a vast tornado rising from the deep sea, or like a hideous and terrifying sea snake with black vertical scales, awakened by the Ironborn, wandering in the sea under the boat for a while, and then swung its tail and came!
Under the attack of the two types of storms in the sky and the sea, the boat was completely swallowed up by the sea water without surprise, and everyone on the boat was also swallowed up.
