Chapter 198 Helena and Dream Fire

Fast forward, a month later.

Stone Steps Islands.

"Hiss..."

One black and one light silver flew across the sea and glided to land on Bloodstone Island.

"The prince is back, get out of the way!"

The soldiers who saw the jet-black dragon retreated quickly, yelling at the new soldiers who came to the island to stay away.

The dragon is no joke.

You can only look at it from a distance, not get close.

After a month, the scenery on Bloodstone Island has changed drastically.

Several towering watchtowers are built on the coastline, keeping a close eye on the movements of the surrounding waters.

Rows of horse-repelling pickets were placed on the beach to prevent enemies from breaking through and landing.

The mountain caves with jagged rocks were explored, and the commanding heights were selected to build a cave fortress.

Camp tents were set up one after another, and the soldiers sat around the fire and wiped their weapons.

Rhaegar looked around at the atmosphere of the military camp on the island and quickly climbed off the dragon's back.

"Cousin, let's go to the big tent first."

Lanino also climbed off the dragon's back and spoke with a smile.

He likes this cousin.

Of course, it's not a love between men.

Rhaegar was handsome, of noble birth, and the glutton he controlled was extremely powerful.

He also has an extraordinary bearing and easy-going personality.

Being with Rhaegar made him feel very relaxed and he couldn't help but want to get closer.

Lei Ga pulled back his long hair and chuckled: "Okay, Master Corliss is healed of his injury. It's time to formulate a plan to counterattack the Three Women's Kingdom."

Talking and laughing, the two brothers walked towards the Chinese army's tent.

Since the last battle to defend Bloodstone Island, the pirates of the Three Women Country have stopped.

Within a month, various fortifications were built around Bloodstone Island.

Fleets from Seagull Town, Old Town, and Qingting Island arrived one after another.

Bloodstone Island now has many soldiers and generals, and its military power is unprecedentedly powerful.

There are more than a dozen patrol ships patrolling the Stepped Stone Islands every day.

Rhaegar and Lannino will also ride dragons to explore the situation further afield.

During this period, the Three Women Kingdom sent a small group of pirates to harass them, but they were all easily eliminated.

The situation is excellent and it is a good opportunity to counterattack.

Walk to the Chinese army's tent.

Several young soldiers wearing fine armor guarded the entrance to the tent.

"prince!"

Seeing Rhaegar arriving, they all said hello.

One of the black-haired young men walked out of the queue and said respectfully: "Prince, Lord Corliss and Tyran are inside."

Rhaegar nodded and said, "Robb, how about being an officer?"

Robb looked serious: "The brothers of the Second Sons are united and ready to fight for you at any time."

"I'm waiting to see how you perform."

Rega patted his shoulder, leaned close to his ear, and said with a smile: "I have sent someone to take your sister back to the Red Castle, don't worry."

Robb looked happy and said gratefully: "Thank you, prince."

"You serve me and I can't let you have any worries."

Rhaegar opened the curtain and walked into the big tent.

Robb hurriedly took over the curtain, waited for Lanino to enter, and then followed.

The Second Sons are a unit directly under Rhaegar and are managed by Robb.

As a mid-level officer, he is qualified to follow Lei Jian to observe.

Entering the big tent, there is only one long table.

There is a sand tray in the middle of the long table.

Sea Snake and Tai Lan sat on opposite sides of the long table, neither of them spoke.

Sarah took the rag and acted as a waiter to wipe the table

When they heard someone coming in, the three of them lowered their heads and none of them spoke.

Rhaegar and Lanino looked at each other, seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

For some unknown reason, Sea Snake and Tailan disliked each other from the first day they arrived on Bloodstone Island.

It's getting worse during this time.

The Sea Snake wants to win steadily, solidify the foundation of Bloodstone Island, and slowly build defenses towards Gray Gallows Island.

In this way, the two largest islands of the Stepped Stone Islands were occupied and became a pre-war fortress to resist the invasion of the Three Women Kingdom.

Tailan had strong objections to this.

A Bloodstone Island costs a lot of money, mobilizing 20% of the national treasury.

Take another Gray Gallows Island.

Including people eating horse chews, half of the treasury will be empty.

However, with such a huge waste of money, the Three Women's Kingdom avoided fighting, and the two sides reached a deadlock.

What Tailan wants is to defeat the Three Women Kingdom, gain military merit, and come to the throne in triumph.

It is not about delaying and depleting the national treasury.

Looking at the two people in a stalemate, Rhaegar shrugged and found a seat to sit down.

He is a prince, but has no military experience.

On the battlefield, naturally you don’t have much say.

Sea Snake and Tailan each hold their own opinions, and both have their own reasons.

Lei Jia just stayed on the sidelines and stabilized the morale of the army.

Furthermore.

Tyran's attraction to the sea serpent's hatred was originally part of his father Viserys' plan.

The sea serpent is the commander of the navy and has great power.

Someone must control him.

After waiting for a while, more people walked into the big tent.

Rhaenys, Weymond, Cole, commanders of fleets from all over the world.

At the beginning of the meeting, Weimond was the first to speak: "The pirate spies of the Three Women Kingdom were discovered near Gray Gallows Island. They may not be able to bear it any longer."

"Send additional patrol ships and be careful."

Sea Snake said in a deep voice.

As the sea snake opened its mouth, Tailan also began to exert strength.

The meeting quickly devolved into a squabble between the two men.

One side is on the defensive and waiting to attack, and the other side is taking the initiative to attack.

The commanders from all over the place looked at each other and remained silent.

Cole sided with Tyran, Waymond remained silent, and Rhaenys remained neutral.

Rhaegar and Lannino just listened.

Rhaegar looked around and read from everyone's expressions.

They all want to end the battlefield as soon as possible.

Sea Serpent's plan is stable, but it is obviously not in line with people's hearts.

The quarrel didn't end until noon.

The meeting ended and everyone left the tent.

Rhaenys stopped Rhaegar and handed him a letter.

Rhaegar opened it and read it, frowning slightly.

"The Dornish want peace!?"

The beginning of the letter states that Dorne sent envoys to King's Landing to discuss peace.

"Yes, I suspect fraud."

Rhaenys guessed.

Continue to look through the letters, there is other news.

Duchess Jeyne Arryn of the Eagle's Nest arrived in King's Landing the day before yesterday and thanked the royal family for helping to put down the rebellion.

the letter concluded.

Let Rhaegar return to King's Landing.

One is to receive the Dornish envoy, and the other is to attend the banquet to welcome Jane.

"The Dornishmen..."

Rega's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.

The war had just begun, and he didn't believe that the Dornish people truly wanted peace.

If Dorne had been so weak, rebellions wouldn't have broken out again and again.

"Your father needs your advice, go back."

Rhaenys said.

Rega nodded and said: "Okay, Glutton and I will leave. You should pay more attention to the movements of the Three Women's Kingdom."

With that, he bid farewell to Rhaenys.

Sara and Robb stayed on Bloodstone to serve as his eyes.
