Chapter 133 Arrival at Tyrosh
It was not until Chiying's dragon flame destroyed seven pirate ships that some of the dragon hunting crossbows began to fire.
Accompanied by the piercing sound of breaking through the air, the huge crossbow arrows like long spears whistled and were evaded by Chiying flexibly. Seeing that the enemy had completely reacted, Gavin immediately ordered Chiying to take off, and Chiying then waved his huge wings and flew away from the warship below.
From high in the sky, Gavin looked down at the pirates below who were already on high alert, and knew in his heart that today's sneak attack was over. The result of burning seven pirate ships has exceeded the initial expectations.
He originally planned to sneak attack the Tyroshi fleet directly, but after some reconnaissance, he found that the opponent was extremely well prepared. The opponent docked the fleet neatly at the port, and some warships even had their dragon hunting crossbows strung in advance, and the dragon hunting crossbows on the shore were always aiming at the sky. Gavin, who was seeking stability, could only choose to attack the pirate ships that stayed at sea.
As he expected, without the assistance of the fleet, it is very easy to be concentrated by the enemy with a giant dragon attack alone. Unless there are a large number of dragons, it is difficult to suppress the large number of dragon hunting crossbows. If Chiying uses the fire bath, he can forcibly attack the fleet in the port, but that will consume too much of Chiying, and Gavin must ensure that Chiying can use the fire bath to heal when he is injured, and he cannot use it easily.
Gavin commanded Chiying to circle in the air continuously until he confirmed that there was no chance of attack, and then chose to evacuate.
At this time, Gavin's fleet still had two days to reach Tyroshi. He planned to launch sneak attacks from time to time in these two days to make the enemy tired of dealing with it, so as to achieve the purpose of hitting the enemy's morale. It would be even better if he could scare off the pirates.
Chiying landed on a deserted island not far from Tyroshi. Gavin jumped off the dragon's back, and after a brief observation of the surrounding environment, he let Chiying go to the sea to find food.
He lit a bonfire, took out some food from the package, and planned to eat something to rest and make plans at night.
On the sea ravaged by dragon flames, the surviving pirates fell into deep fear and worry. Their eyes were full of fear, their bodies trembled, as if their souls were burned by the terrifying dragon flames.
A young pirate sat slumped on a burnt deck, his eyes dull and full of despair and helplessness. His pirate ship was burned, and he was the only one who escaped, but no one rescued him because of everyone's nervousness.
Seeing the dragon fly away, a pirate crossbowman tried to loosen the string of the dragon hunting crossbow, but was stopped by other pirates. The huge figure of the dragon and the deadly dragon flame brought them deep fear. They were worried about being attacked by the dragon again, and the two sides argued for a while.
It was not until the captain came here that the crossbow string was loosened under his order. He explained to many pirates: "If the crossbow is wound for a long time, it will be more difficult to deal with the attack of the dragon. Only when we see the dragon can we wind it. Everyone better be alert." Although the pirates understood that the captain was right, they still couldn't help but worry when they saw the crossbow string gradually loosening. The atmosphere of fear began to spread among them.
In the palace of Tyrosh, Lord Theron curled his lips indifferently after learning that the pirate ship was attacked by the dragon. He sat on the luxurious throne, and even a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, secretly congratulating himself for his wise arrangement.
"Humph, those greedy pirates are a group of rabble. Fortunately, I docked the fleet at the port, otherwise it would be my precious fleet that was attacked."
Then Lord Theron ordered his servants: "Send some more money and women to those greedy pirates, which is enough to appease them." His tone was full of contempt, and he showed no pity for the casualties of the pirates.
When the night completely enveloped Tyrosh, Gavin flew into the dark sky with Blazing Shadow. The dark night was like a huge black silk, tightly wrapping the entire city.
With the cover of the night, Blazing Shadow's agile figure quietly approached the port like a ghost. At this time, Tyrosh was covered with dark clouds, and the thick clouds blocked the moonlight, making the earth fall into darkness. But the port was still brightly lit and bustling, with noisy voices and the collision of ships intertwined. Blazing Shadow did not fly high, and the breeze brought by its huge wings did not attract any attention from below. After carefully observing for a while, Gavin decided to take a risk, and his eyes quickly locked on a conspicuous sailing warship.
"Blazing Shadow, dive!" Gavin's calm voice sounded. Blazing Shadow received the order and began to dive at high speed like a black lightning. In just a moment, it flew over the sailing warship, spewing surging dragon flames from its mouth. The blazing flames seemed to come from hell, instantly igniting the sailing warship.
The flames on the warship spread rapidly in the night wind, and the orange-red flames jumped, illuminating a large area of the sea and dispelling the surrounding darkness.
At this time, the soldiers on duty at the port finally reacted, and they hurriedly rang the alarm bell in panic. The rapid bells echoed over the port, but when the Tyrosh fleet reacted, the Blazing Shadow had already waved its huge wings and rushed into the sky with Gavin. The wind whistled in his ears, and Gavin's hair was blown into a mess.
In the air, Gavin turned his target to the pirate ships on the sea. The sea at night was dark and bottomless, and those pirate ships with lights on became the most eye-catching targets at this time. The dragon flames swept down again, and one pirate ship after another was engulfed by the flames. The panicked pirates fled in all directions amid the flames, their cries and cries for help echoing across the sea, their faces filled with fear and despair, as if the end of the world had come.
When the pirates finally prepared the dragon hunting crossbow, they found that it was extremely difficult to lock onto the high-speed flying dragon under the cover of night. The dragon's figure appeared and disappeared in the darkness, as elusive as a ghost. It was not until the fire illuminated half of the sky and the entire sea surface was illuminated as daylight that Gavin took Chiying away to ensure safety.
In a night attack, Gavin was not sure how many pirate ships were burned, but looking at Chiying, who was exhausted from excessive dragon flames, its heavy breathing and slightly trembling wings, Gavin felt that the results of this trip should be very rich.
The dragon's uninterrupted attack lasted for two days, and each time it was a single strike and then left, ruthlessly burning a large number of warships.
The dragon's attack stopped only at noon on the third day when Gavin's fleet was about to arrive in Tyrosh.
At this moment, there were no complete warships on the sea of Tyrosh, only the wreckage of those pirate ships and the tattered flags floating on the sea, which looked messy.
