Chapter 455: Old Town, here I come
Chapter 455: Old Town, here I come
Narrow sea, lower part.
The blue sea is calm.
The giant black dragon roared, its body gliding close to the sea surface, its claws hanging down into the water to divide the waves.
Stone Step Islands, outside Gray Gallows Island.
Two small cargo ships were adrift, their decks covered with a conspicuous black cloth.
Boom—
The black dragon soared into the sky, spitting dragon flames above the cargo ship.
The black cloth was immediately ignited, revealing two heavy scorpion crossbows.
Lega was riding on the back of the dragon. He was not surprised at all and said coldly: "Dragon Flame!"
The gluttons were very rude and circled around the two cargo ships. The green dragon flames evenly covered the hulls of the ships.
Not long after, there was a commotion in the cabin, and hundreds of pirates in disheveled armor emerged, wailing and cursing, and burned together with the ship to ashes.
“Glutton, let’s go!”
Looking at the scene of the floating ship planks, Rhaegar felt calm and drove the dragon back to Sunspear City.
The glutton roared softly, turned its huge body flexibly, and soared towards the Broken Arm Horn.
Rhaegar looked relaxed and leaned back on the saddle, lying down lazily and looking at the sky.
A month has passed since the second round of Dragon's Wrath began.
The entire territory of Dorne was baptized by dragon flames several times, and the originally sparse castles and villages were completely destroyed.
With the war in Dorne, the forces outside the narrow sea will inevitably take the opportunity to stir up trouble.
From time to time, a group of pirates appear, harassing the routes of the Stepstone Islands, and sneaking into Dorne to transport supplies.
A series of incidents of stealing and stealing are too numerous to count.
Feeling the sea breeze blowing on his face, Rega gently closed his eyes and thought quietly:
“The rebellion in Dorne continues, and remnants of nobles everywhere call on the common people to organize small-scale rebellions.”
It's all a small fight, and it's not taken seriously.
Rhaenys guards Sunspear, supervising Quill Martell and some of the surrendered Dornish nobles.
Sea Serpent moved Banzhi Town, restored the shipping line extending from the Green Blood River to the Stepstone Islands, connected the entire disputed area, and blocked the waterway in the lower half of the Narrow Sea.
The shortcomings are that there are insufficient naval forces, and the patrol fleet has no problem finding the fleet. Occasionally, pirates will take risks and sneak across.
“The Prince’s Pass was sealed, and the Bone Road rebuilt the fortress.”
The maritime defenses were well arranged, and Rhaegar wanted to garrison the Crimson Mountains.
The blockade plan for Prince's Pass was successfully completed.
There is Yege City in the inner part and Wangzhong City in the middle.
The entire Fowler family in Tianji City was captured. After several months of imprisonment, they finally surrendered.
Earl Fowler has three sons. The eldest son is a typical radical and hates the Iron Throne who conquers Dorne.
Rhaegar did not kill him, nor did he even have time to see him.
Mond Hightower was transferred to Tianji City to take charge of the troops, and he used his mouth to deliver a message to the three Fowler brothers.
Whoever is loyal will inherit the title and territory.
Just as the boss gathered a group of old ministers, he was poisoned and killed by the second brother who coveted the family property.
As soon as the eldest brother died, the third son led Mond into Tianji City to capture his second brother who had stolen stolen goods.
Perform a wonderful show of respect between brothers and sisters.
There is only one of the three brothers left, so naturally the third one will inherit Tianji City.
Mond took over the military power of Tianji City and set aside a territory to accept the defected Dornish civilians.
At the same time, the blockade of the Bone Road is still a long way off.
Helena rushed to the prince's palace to take over the supplies transported from various places, and used the [Dragon Stone] to complete the palace ahead of schedule.
Higang's troops were heavily deployed and could only hold the main road and cooperate with Daemon to search for the resistance forces hidden in the mountains.
At the exit of Bone Road, on the east side of the Dragon King Altar, a new town is built to accommodate disaster victims.
Donald Tarly led 10,000 troops from the Reach to be stationed, not only to supervise the construction of the town, but also to take in the victims.
The victims of the disaster built shelters according to the number of people, provided them with dry food every day to survive starvation, and recruited young people to serve as corvees.
At this point, the three-line blockade plan in parallel at Prince's Pass, Bone Road, and Green Blood River was successfully implemented.
The resistance forces are active in the hinterland of Dorne and the desert. They cannot get out of the Crimson Mountains, and there is no dock in the narrow sea. It is comparable to a prison in disguise.
Rhaegar thought relaxedly and muttered: "Dorne has no farmland or wells. The remaining forces will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry, and then they will launch the third round of dragon's wrath."
Within half a year, the common people will give up the rebellion when they cannot bear the hunger.
The nobles lost the support of the general public, but they were no more than a grain of sand in the vast desert, no longer a threat.
"Roar…"
Suddenly, the glutton let out a low roar, and the dragon's head stared in one direction.
Rhaegar heard a hint of suspicion and propped himself up on his elbows.
Gluttony was extremely fast. In a short time, he flew away from the Stone Step Islands and could already see the coastline of Broken Arm Point to the west.
Looking along its line of sight, it seems to be Iska Island.
The island is across the sea from the Stormlands, adjacent to the Misty Forest City in the south of the rainforest. It is the fiefdom of the Ismon family of Greenstone Castle.
At this time, the blue sky was filled with floating clouds, and the weather was sunny and muggy.
…
A sharp roar sounded, filled with deep sadness.
——
A light silver dragon shadow rushed out of the island and plunged into the clouds to hide.
Rhaegar could see it clearly and frowned: "Hai Yan?"
The smoke from the sea seemed to be flying away, and waves of whining faintly echoed in the mid-air.
He had heard from Sea Serpent before that the fishermen of Sunspear discovered a giant dragon wandering near the Summer Sea from Broken Arm.
It seems that Haiyan still hasn’t given up.
“Well, Cousin Lannino has let down a good companion.”
Rhaegar sighed and stopped paying too much attention.
Looking across the battlefield of Dorne, a total of eight giant dragons appeared.
Six heads unleashed the dragon's wrath and participated in the conquest of Dorne.
Wormithor returned to Dragonstone, leaving only Haiyan who had not yet emerged from the shadow of his deceased master.
Sunspear City.
One man and one dragon returned and landed in the vestibule of the old palace.
“咩咩~~”
The sheep thief was prostrate in the corner of the vestibule, enjoying the attendants feeding the goats and listening to the lamentations of the "prey".
The glutton lowered the dragon's head and glanced at it with green vertical pupils.
…
The sheep thief screamed in surprise, swallowed the whole goat in one gulp, and moved to a further corner.
Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend.
Rhaegar climbed off the dragon's back and entered the old palace.
When I took the time to look up, I caught a glimpse of the golden sun standing on the top of the Sun Tower, and a pair of pale pink dragon wings spread out.
Rhaegar shook his head and said to himself: "The dragon is the same as the master."
Fortunately, Sunspear City is relatively safe. The two dragons roam freely in the open air, so there is no fear of anyone having evil intentions.
Old Palace, Prince's Study Room.
Rhaegar was alone, taking off his loose black robe, sitting at the table and taking out a engraved knife with an inscription on the surface.
The war is coming to an end, and there is still a lot of time left.
Take a break from your busy schedule and develop your skills.
Shuashuashua…
With the small movements of the small carving knife, the grapefruit-sized stone shed stone chips, gradually forming the shape of a fire peak.
On the solid wood table, there are many stone sculptures, most of which are giant dragons and various buildings.
Lega took the fire peak and looked at it for a few times, then continued polishing it unsatisfied.
【Graving Knife】requires exquisite skills to simulate engraving.
He temporarily specialized in stone carving, imitating his father to carve a complete empire of free fortresses.
咚咚…
There was a quick knock on the door, and someone kicked it open.
Rega's hand trembled, and a gap was made in the base of the fire peak.
His face turned dark and he raised his head stiffly.
At first sight, Aegon had a stinky face, as if everyone owed him a bag of golden dragons.
boom!
Rhaegar slapped the table and almost used the carving knife as a hidden weapon. He said with a smile, "Aegon, you'd better get away with kicking my door."
Otherwise, something will happen to you.
Aegon was stunned for a moment. He noticed the Fire Peak stone sculpture that was crushed by his elder brother, and instantly calmed down his arrogant expression.
Rhaegar said in a calm tone: "Speak quickly and don't force me to slap you when I'm in a good mood."
He was thinking, and it seemed that he had not beaten his brother for a while.
He glanced at the carving knife and shook his head secretly.
With one strike, everyone was gone, not to mention Allison who was protecting the calf, and his father had no way to explain.
Aegon felt a chill go down his spine and swallowed: "Well, Otto sent me a letter, urging me to go to Oldtown to guard against Dornish attacks."
Afraid that the other party would be angry, he hastily added: "Brother, you know that I hate Oldtown and Hightower the most, but my mother is also urging me. It's really annoying."
“So?” Rhaegar’s eyes looked strange.
Is this guy showing his loyalty to him?
Aegon rolled his eyes and asked tentatively: "How about you go to Old Town and settle the matter for me?"
“Shall I go?” Rega’s eyes changed completely.
You need to listen to what you are saying.
guess why Otto and others insist on you going, they have repeatedly passed you, the person in charge of the overall situation.
Aegon pretended to be profound and raised his chin: "It's just in time for you to go. Aemond and I will continue to attack Dorne without delaying each other."
He had heard about the situation in King's Landing, and his father was ill.
At this time, his mother and Otto urged him to go to Oldtown and persuaded Aemond to return to King's Landing.
He is just showing off, not a fool.
I have been working on my brain that has been idle for many years, and I decided to continue to mess it up.
Rhaegar laughed and asked without haste, "Do you know what's going on in Old Town?"
“The Houses Dane and Bremont gathered a thousand men and approached Oldtown around the mountain road.”
Aegon opened his mouth and spoke eloquently: "Half of Hightower's troops are deployed on the Stepstone Islands, and 30% are on the Prince's Pass, leaving only a few hundred to defend."
“The acting city lord ordered that the old town be sealed off, so the Dornishmen plundered the crops in the fiefdom.”
Understand very clearly.
Rega meant something: "Mond made a fuss out of a molehill, and Otto was meddling in it."
"That's right."
Aegon agreed very much and complained: "Mond keeps urging me and said that if I don't return to Oldtown, he will go back himself."
Rhaegar said calmly: "He has gone back, maybe he is in the Tower now."
“Huh?” Ae Geng was confused.
Rhaegar smiled but did not tell the truth.
The Dornish people were able to enter the Reach and accurately target Oldtown because they specifically opened the back door.
Hightower has done so many things. Regardless of whether Aegon goes to support him or not, Mondstadt, as a lord, will not rest assured.
Even more afraid that his crown prince fake borrowers destroyed the old town.
The shadow message from Nightsong City revealed that Mondstadt had sneaked away half a month ago.
Prince's Pass is now controlled by the acting city lord of Nightsong City.
Aegon didn't understand why. His pretty face, which was getting plumper, was stunned, with clear stupidity in his eyes.
Rhaegar put away the carving knife, left the chair and walked out.
When he arrived in front of Aegon, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Call Aemond. We will go to Old Town tomorrow. The three of us will go together."
After saying that, we passed each other by.
???”
Aegon almost dropped his jaw in shock. He pointed at his face and resisted: "I'm still going."
