Chapter 263 The sea monster is in action

Nabo shouted loudly to the sailors on the deck, holding the rudder with both hands, controlling the long ship under his feet to sail through the huge waves caused by the storm.

Although as the captain of a fishing boat in Lannisport, Nabob has experienced similar storms and waves countless times, he still dare not take it lightly because he has seen too many of his companions die in the waves because they despised the waves.

Just now, a sailor was swept into the sea by a huge wave. It seemed that it was over. The sailor was not a novice, but a veteran who had been working at sea for more than ten years. Now he was accidentally buried in the sea. It can be seen that in front of the sea, veterans and novices They're all the same.

"Look! Nabot! Look over there, the wrath of the mermaids! Over there the wrath of the mermaids!" At this time, the lookout hand who tied himself to the mast shouted loudly with his loud voice and pointed with his finger. The sea on the left side of the ship.

After hearing this, Nabo looked over in panic and saw a strange white line appearing on the sea level in the distance.

In fact, it is not a white line, but a row of huge waves. This kind of huge waves is called the wrath of the mermaid, because some people say that the huge waves are caused by angry mermaids rolling on the bottom of the sea. Sometimes, you can even see mermaids swimming by.

No matter how absurd this statement is, for any ship sailing on the sea, the appearance of the mermaid's wrath represents death. No one can survive such huge waves.

"Tie yourself up, tie yourself to the mast, and secure it." Nabo shouted loudly. Although he knew it was useless, he had no other way.

After giving the order, he immediately turned the ship around and sailed in the direction of the Wrath of the Mermaid. He needed to get the ship over the wave before it reached its peak and started to roll. Only in this way could he and his ship have a line. vitality.

However, he seemed to have misjudged the intensity of the mermaid's wrath. When he was able to see the full picture of the mermaid's wrath, he found that the height of the mermaid's wrath far exceeded any giant wave he had ever seen. There was no way his ship could climb over this wall of huge waves.

Just when he fell into despair, he suddenly heard a burst of bells coming from the sea. This burst of bells was the most beautiful bells he had ever heard. It was louder and more magnificent than the bells of the Seven Sacred Cathedral. Even the loud noise caused by the storm could not cover up the sound of the bells, which made anyone who heard it feel a sense of calm.

"Is this the stranger's call?" Nabo couldn't help but exclaimed.

The scene that followed made him even more incredible, because the dark clouds above his head dispersed with the sound of the bell, and the storm stopped.

No, not all storms have stopped. There are still storms on the surrounding sea, and huge waves are surging into the sky. Only the sea area where Nabob is located is extremely calm, with only waves of sea breeze blowing, and the sun is never shining. The scattered dark clouds fell down from the cracks and shone on the sea, giving people an inexplicable sense of sacredness.

The huge wave in the distance broke into two sections because it lost the support of the storm, and continued to push in different directions. The place where it broke happened to be on this calm sea area, and the huge wave fell quickly at that point. It turned into waves, pushing under Nabor's ship, lifting Nabob's ship and lowering it again.

At this time, Nabo's sight was no longer in the surrounding environment, because the moment the huge wave fell, the scene behind the huge wave fell into his eyes, and what he saw was densely packed sea ships. On the sea, it was sailing over quickly.

As the fleet approached, Nabo also discovered that the melodious and majestic bells came from one of the three-masted ships. There was also a platform on the helm of the ship, and a large bell hung on the platform. , the big bell is surrounded by more than a dozen monks of the Storm God, and a tall and strong priest of the Storm God is carrying a wooden stake and hitting the big bell. Every time the big bell rings, those mysterious patterns on the surface of the big clock appear. Waves of light will shine out, and the surrounding storm will dissipate as the light spreads. This is why this sea area is so calm in the storm.

"Sea Banshee! Sea Dog!" At this time, an old sailor on the ship suddenly shouted loudly: "It's the fleet of the three sea monsters from the Stepstone Islands! Sea Banshee Asha Greyjoy and sea dog Baelor Blacktyce!"

Following the shouts of the old sailor, Nabo noticed the flag on the ship, and felt shocked and frightened in his heart.

Various rumors about the three sea monsters on the Stepstone Islands have long spread to various ports with the passing merchant ships, and Lannisport is no exception.

Among the three sea monsters, the sea witch Asha Greyjoy is the most famous. This is not only because she is the leader of the three sea monsters, nor because she is a woman, but because her ability is the most powerful among the three sea monsters. Strong.

Her Sea Banshee fleet spans the Summer Sea, reaching Slaver's Bay in the east, Oldtown in the west, and the Summer Islands in the south. This huge sea area has almost become her back garden. Pirates who enter this sea area without authorization are killed in front of her. Like prey waiting to be slaughtered, each of them became her famous battle examples.

One of the most outstanding naval battles was when she sank her uncle Euron's fleet with her flagship Blackwind, and chased her uncle Euron Greyjoy like a man on a hunt. In a panic, she had no choice but to flee to the shore. In the end, she even gave up on the newly purchased boat and secretly escaped from the shore to escape her pursuit.

In addition to the sea monster, the sea monster Dagon is also very famous. However, Dagon's reputation does not only come from his sea monster fleet, but also from his control of a real sea monster. The monster can easily drag a masted sailboat into the bottom of the sea. Its appearance is like the sea monster of the Drowned God, so some people call the sea monster Dagon the son of the Drowned God.

It’s just that the people of the Iron Islands have some objections to this, because if Dagon is the son of the Drowned God, then they are equivalent to being inferior to the Storm God, the Drowned God’s mortal enemy. You must know that the incarnation of the Storm God is the lord of Summer Hall and Narrow Lord who is loyal to Dagon. Sea Prince Lind Terra.

Compared with the fame of Asha and Dagon, the reputation of the last sea dog, Baelor Blacktys, is much smaller. In all the stories of the three sea monsters, Baelor the sea dog appears in the shadow of Asha. He seems He always appears in every naval battle as a deputy.

But no one who truly understands the details of these naval battles dares to look down upon Baylor the Sea Dog, because they know very well that even though Baylor's naval combat capabilities are not as good as Asha's, they are not much different.

Once, Asha and Belle broke into the waters of Qingting Island in pursuit of a group of pirates. The entire Qingting Island fleet was dispatched to intercept the fleet of two sea monsters.

In this case, Asha continued to pursue the pirates, while the sea dog Belle blocked the Qingting Island fleet on his own. Through fighting, he suppressed the Qingting Island fleet, which was far more numerous and larger than his, in a sea area until Until Asha finishes dealing with the pirates and comes back for reinforcements.

Although most people first think of the Miracle Fleet that controls the Narrow Sea when they mention the maritime power of Midsummer Hall, those who truly understand naval warfare know that the Three Sea Monsters are the most adept at naval warfare under Lind Terra. .

Now two sea monsters are leading hundreds of large and small ships to the Sunset Sea on the west coast of Westeros, and they are also carrying a large bell that is like a storm artifact. They are driving away the storm on the sea while sailing. Such a powerful force It should not only be to show off their strength to the coastal port territories, but also for other greater purposes.

Not long after the fishermen's ships in Lannisport encountered Asha and Baelor's fleet, the fleet had already approached Lannisport and stopped outside Lannisport, sending small boats into Lannisport to purchase various supplies.

When docked, the priests of the Storm God still rang the big bell to drive away the dark clouds in the sky and the storm on the sea. This bell could be heard not only in Lannisport, but also in Casterly Rock.

Tywin, Kevan, Tyrell and other family members and territorial vassals all stood on a platform overlooking the entire sea of ​​Lannis Bay, looking at the densely packed large and small ships on the sea, and none of them spoke.

"Wow! Fortunately, these two sea monsters don't like to plunder ports like their compatriots, otherwise Lannisport would be in trouble." Tyrion brought a stool by himself, stepped on it, and propped himself up. He leaned against the wall, looked at the sea, and said in a frivolous tone.

Tywin frowned, turned around and said unceremoniously: "You should go to the sewer to check the situation instead of standing here and saying these boring words."

Tyrion looked at Tywin calmly and said: "Sorry! Father, you may have forgotten that I am no longer responsible for the sewer affairs. I am just an idler now. If you don't like me, you can give me some Money, I will disappear from your eyes before the money is spent, as if you never had my son."

Faced with Tyrion's rebuttal, Tywin could only snort and did not look at him again.

Kevan on the side also felt a headache about the relationship between father and son. In order to prevent the two from arguing in front of their subordinates, he immediately intervened, changed the subject, and said: "Why are these two sea monsters coming here with so much fanfare? Are they Linde?" ·Tera’s order?”

"Is there any need to guess? A fleet of hundreds of ships has set off, definitely for the Iron Islands. The Sea Banshee Asha Greyjoy should be returning to the Iron Islands to snatch her father Balon Greyjoy from the Iron Islands. "The position of the Lord." Tyrion spoke first: "This is also a good thing for us. After all, under the restraint of the Sea Banshee, the pirates on the Iron Islands will be honest for a long time."

"A good thing?" Tywin turned to look at his deformed son and said indifferently: "You have always thought of yourself as having a smart mind, but now you seem to be average."

Tyrion smiled indifferently and said: "This is not a problem of the mind, it is just a difference in vision and mentality between you and me. I will not regard Lind Terra as an enemy, so I think this is a problem." It's a good thing, and you always think of Lind Terra as your enemy, so of course you think it's a bad thing."

Tywin sneered: "Stupid, if you don't regard him as an enemy, won't he regard you as an enemy?"

Tyrion said calmly: "My respected father, don't forget that the person you regard as your enemy will have his son marry your granddaughter in the future, and he will become your granddaughter's father, and we will become relatives. ”

Tywin said nothing more, and was not in the mood to continue reading here. He turned and left the platform, returned to his study, and continued to deal with the government affairs he had just interrupted.

Tyrion continued to look at the ship on the sea, with an envious look in his eyes. Then, as if he had made a major decision, he jumped off the stool, took small steps, and ran towards the stairs to the ground.

Soon he left Casterly Rock City and arrived at Lannisport, then took a small boat and headed towards Asha's flagship.

On Asha's flagship Black Wind, Asha is discussing with Baelor how to regain the Iron Islands. In fact, the only four islands they have to deal with now are Pyke Island, Salt Cliff Island, Old Wyk Island and Oakmont Island.

Harluo Island is ruled by the Harluo family. Dagon Harluo is the sole heir of the Harluo family. The future lord of Harluo Island will not have three sea monsters as its enemies.

The same Kuroshio Island is also Baylor's territory. Although he, the lord, has never returned to the territory in these years, most of the sailors in Baylor's fleet are from Kuroshio Island. It is also because of his relationship between Kuroshio Island and Bear The island has trade exchanges and close relations, and it will not be an enemy.

As for the Gubler family, the Spa family and the Merlin family on Great Wake Island, they all started a series of trade with Bear Island under the influence of Kuroshio Island, using the trade from Bear Island to White Harbor. The line is making a lot of money, and they have made it clear that they will support Asha as Lord of the Iron Islands.

Belle pointed to Oakmont Island and said: "I can convince the Oakwood family and the Tawny family on Oakmont Island. These two families and the Blacktails family have had several marriages in the past, and they have been married to the Black Tide Island family. The relationship is very good and we can win over as allies.”

Asha nodded, and then suddenly thought of something, and said: "I remember that Mira Oakwood, the eldest daughter of the Oakwood family, seems to have a very good relationship with you. Could it be that you want to use marriage? Come and win over the Oakwood family?"

Belle shook his head, stretched out his hand to hold the Seven Gods emblem around his neck, and said, "Of course not. I have planned to serve the Seven Gods for the rest of my life and will not marry a wife."

Asha was stunned and asked: "If you don't marry and have children, what will happen to your Kuroshio Island?"

"Black Tide Island?" Baelor looked at Asha and said, "Do you think Lord Lynd will let the Iron Islands continue with the current system after unifying the Iron Islands? The Iron Islands will eventually become just another stone staircase. In the archipelago, the lord is just an identity and will not have any real power. "

Asha fell silent after hearing this. Although when Lind ordered them to go to the Iron Islands and seize the position of Lord of the Iron Islands, she had already guessed how Lind would arrange the Iron Islands, and she had no intention of disobeying Lind's order. But she still felt a little frustrated.

At this moment, a man came to report that a small boat was approaching, and the person on the small boat seemed to be the little devil Tyrion.

After hearing what their men said, Asha and Baelor couldn't help but look at each other, with doubtful looks on their faces, wondering why Tyrion came to them.
