Chapter 135 Annihilation
"Ding" With a crisp sound of metal and iron intersecting, the crossbow arrow was bounced off by the high-speed moving Chiying, the scales of its injured part were broken, a hideous blood hole appeared on its body, hot dragon blood kept flowing out, and the pain made it roar angrily.
It immediately fell to the ground, spitting dragon flames wildly around, and the nearby buildings were instantly destroyed by the dragon flames. Some soldiers who were closer rolled and crawled to escape from the violent dragon.
Obviously, the Tyroshi side did not expect the dragon to attack them on the ground. Most of the dragon hunting crossbows were blocked by buildings, but some of them still successfully hit Chiying, but they did not hit the vital points.
The pain caused by countless attacks made Chiying angry and irritable. It relied on its strong defense to take off again. As soon as it took off, countless crossbows attacked. Gavin felt the state of Chiying and immediately ordered it to use the fire bath.
The temperature around the Blazing Shadow rose rapidly, and there was a faint glow of fire in the gaps between its scales. Several wounds on its body directly sprayed out blazing flames. Soon, its flesh and blood turned into flames at a speed visible to the naked eye. The crossbow arrows piercing its body were melted by the high temperature, and some of the crossbow arrows that were shot at it also instantly turned into molten iron.
A ball of dragon-shaped flames flew at a high speed towards the warships in the port at a low altitude, and everything along the way was ruthlessly ignited. Some soldiers who saw such a miracle knelt down involuntarily and prayed to the gods, thinking that they had angered the gods, and even the attack of the dragon hunting crossbow had stopped.
The flames formed by the Blazing Shadow kept hitting the warships docked at the port, and after igniting more than ten ships in a row, they stopped because of the intense consumption of magic power. The dragon-shaped flames immediately flew towards Gavin and turned into flesh and blood again on the way. When the Blazing Shadow flew back to the sky above the Belleris, all the injuries it had suffered before had disappeared.
Blazing Shadow staggered to the Belleris, then collapsed on the deck, gasping for breath, his huge wings trembling slightly, obviously no longer able to fly.
Seeing this, Gavin ordered the Belleris to retreat without hesitation to prevent Blazing Shadow from being hit by the boulders thrown by the other side. Even if there were only sporadic boulders thrown at this time, the attack just now was already a bit risky. Gavin knew that even if he lost all his fleets, he would never lose Blazing Shadow, because he knew that only dragons were the foundation of everything he stood on.
The sky was slightly bright, and all the Tyroshi warships staying in the port had been destroyed. Broken planks and charred wreckage floated on the sea, and thick black smoke rushed straight into the sky. The port fell into chaos, with the groans of the wounded and the shouts of panic intertwined.
When Lord Theron arrived at the port, Gavin's fleet had already left, and before leaving, he burned most of the merchant ships in the shipyard and the other two ports. At this time, Tyroshi had completely lost the ability to go out to sea to fight. Fortunately, many merchant ships survived and were not completely cut off from the outside world.
Lord Theron looked at the devastated port, his face so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out. Anger burned in his heart, he clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned white because of the force. The sea breeze blew by, bringing endless bitterness and sadness.
The surviving merchants gathered together, their faces full of fear and despair. They lost a lot of goods and ships, and the loss of property made them feel heartbroken. They ran to the palace of the Lord to petition. In desperation, Theron could only choose to appease. Although he had stored enough food in the city early, other supplies could only be provided by these merchants.
While he was busy discussing compensation plans with those merchants, Jorah Mormont had led an army of 5,000 people to the land of Essos, and quickly seized a dock as soon as he landed.
Then the 5,000-man army was divided into three routes, rushing towards the surrounding towns and villages. Several towns and villages were quickly broken under the surprise attack, and the food and treasures were looted. The slave owners trembled in fear. Their slaves were all taken away to help the invaders carry supplies. The slave owners who lost their guards could not resist the surging wave of invasion and could only watch.
Any slave owner who did not cooperate was slaughtered. The mercenaries, who had poor military discipline, not only looted everything, but also set the slave owners' residences on fire.
Blood flowed freely on the land, gathering into scarlet streams, dyeing the earth red. The mercenaries seemed to be ruthless war machines, driven by desire and ambition, tirelessly killing.
When seizing the shipyard, the scene was even more chaotic. The craftsmen were dragged roughly, surrounded by the swords of the soldiers, their faces full of fear and despair.
Those wood that could not be taken away burned in the raging fire, and the flames soared into the sky, devouring everything madly. The scorching heat made the air distorted, and billowing black smoke filled the sky, as if it was the painful wail of this land. The fire crackled and burned, turning the entire shipyard into a sea of fire.
However, Jorah Mormont's mission was not over yet. After a brief rest, they boarded the warship and headed for the next area.
On the vast sea, the salty sea breeze gently blew, and the fleet moved slowly forward.
As it gradually approached Mill Bay, the sea surface became calmer, like a huge blue satin, with a slight ripple.
Gavin stood at the bow and gently stroked the Blazing Shadow who had just returned from foraging. After experiencing the battle of fire, the Blazing Shadow was exhausted at this moment, and the scales that were originally shining also looked dull. It took a full night of rest before it had the strength to fly again.
Unlike the previous fire-bath state, although its combat capability is very strong in the fire-bath state, the consumption of magic power is huge, and after each fire-bath, it will lose its combat capability in a short time. If it lasts too long, even flying and escaping will become difficult.
Just as the fleet was sailing smoothly, Gavin inadvertently found that a tiny black dot quietly emerged on the sea surface in front of him. Then, more and more black dots appeared, densely connected into a piece, just like a sudden extra ink stain on a thick and colorful painting.
Gavin, who has many sailing experiences, knew at a glance that it was a large fleet. His eyes became solemn instantly. Such a large fleet could not be composed of ordinary merchant ships. It was most likely the fleet of Mill. Unexpectedly, the two sides encountered each other on this sea surface at this moment. The sea breeze seemed to feel the tense atmosphere, blowing more urgently, wantonly stirring the corners of Gavin's clothes, as if eagerly urging him to make a decision to respond.
Gavin took a deep breath, his face stern, and immediately turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Notify the fleet and prepare for battle!" His loud and majestic voice was clearly heard by everyone in the whistling sea breeze.
