Chapter 185: Luring the Enemy

But now the battle is inevitable. Facing the three warships unique to the Ironborn, the slow-moving Sunset Beauty can't escape at all.

Gavin, who brought fifty blood dragon guards, was not worried about the outbreak of a battle with the opponent. It was just that it was difficult to keep the opponent with the blood dragon guards and conventional means. The speed of the three warships was too fast, unless the Blazing Shadow was used.

Gavin was hesitating whether to summon the Blazing Shadow. After all, he met Euron Greyjoy. This guy may have a record of shooting down a dragon in the future, and he is undoubtedly a troublemaker for the situation in Westeros.

After thinking for a while, Gavin resisted the urge to summon the Blazing Shadow.

Looking at the smoke sea not far away, Gavin gradually had a plan in his mind.

Gavin, who had made up his mind, immediately ordered loudly: "Raise the sail and speed up, target the smoke sea, the Tranquility can't catch up with us in a short time."

Hearing Gavin's order, the helmsman was a little confused for a while, his eyes full of confusion and uneasiness.

Does this lord want to cross the smoke sea? But compared with pirates, entering the smoke sea seems to be more dangerous.

According to legend, there is still a curse of the doomsday catastrophe there. Anyone who often sails on the sea will automatically avoid the Smoke Sea. Only those explorers who are willing to risk their lives will step into the Smoke Sea in order to enter the ruins of Valyria.

Just as the helmsman hesitated, Kairos pushed him away, grabbed the rudder and controlled it himself, and shouted: "Didn't you hear the order clearly? Target Smoke Sea."

The mercenaries who knew Gavin's identity took action one after another. They were like a group of well-trained warriors, snatching the crew's work and controlling the Sunset Beauty.

With His Majesty on the ship, they would not be afraid of the Smoke Sea. His Majesty brought back the existence of the dragon from there.

As the Dragon King of Ancient Valyria, it is a cursed place that others avoid, but it is like going home for the Dragon King.

Facing the ferocious mercenaries, the crew did not dare to stop them. They were forced to step aside and stand nervously, with fear and uneasiness in their hearts.

The Blood Dragon Guards who sensed Gavin's order walked out of the cabin one after another, ready to meet the next battle.

Euron Greyjoy stood on the deck of Serenity, looking at the Sunset Belle that was escaping at an accelerated speed, with a sneer on his face, and then he quickly ordered the crew to chase.

The crew who received the order strangely did not respond, but just silently executed his orders.

The reason why this ship was named "Tranquility" was that all the crew members had their tongues cut off by the crazy Euron Greyjoy.

In this way, there was no noise from the crew on the ship, and there was silence except for the sound of the waves. At the same time, cutting off the crew's tongue can also prevent someone from leaking his secrets.

The silent Serenity had just completed the turn, and the two sides of the ship could not wait to extend the oars and chase the Sunset Belle.

With the blessing of the three strange sails and the oars, the Serenity quickly closed the distance between the two ships, and at the same time it was getting closer and closer to the fog of the sea of ​​smoke.

The Sunset Belle, which took the lead, was slightly better after all, and entered the fog of the sea of ​​smoke first, and the huge hull disappeared from the sight of the Serenity.

Seeing the prey escape, Euron Greyjoy couldn't help but start to go crazy, and anger filled his heart uncontrollably. He stared at the direction where the Sunset Belle disappeared, and his eyes gradually became crazy, like a trapped beast.

The crew of the Serenity, who did not hear the order to slow down, could only helplessly control the Serenity to sail towards the fog, and no one dared to slow down.

Following the direction where the Sunset Belle disappeared, the Serenity slowly sailed into the sea of ​​smoke, tightly wrapped by thick gray fog.

The fog seemed to have life, entwined around the Serenity, making it difficult to see even an inch ahead.

The vision of the people on the ship was compressed to within a few feet, and the crew couldn't help but feel uneasy.

In this suffocating silence, suddenly, a black shadow broke through the fog like lightning.

Before everyone could react, a crossbow arrow with a rope had accurately shot at the Serenity.

The crossbow arrow shot into the side with great impact, instantly causing the hull to shake slightly.

The rope was stretched straight in the fog, and the taut rope hummed, as if arrogantly informing the enemy of its position. This scene brought endless astonishment to the crew of the Serenity.

After being astonished, the crew of the Serenity quickly came to their senses.

They looked in the direction where the crossbow arrows came from, their eyes full of vigilance and alertness, and quickly turned the crossbow cannon to the direction where the crossbow arrows came from.

At this time, Euron Greyjoy walked forward with a gloomy face.

His crazy eyes scanned the surrounding fog, as if he wanted to penetrate the heavy fog and find the enemy's traces.

Looking at the provocative rope, he showed an excited smile on his face and said, "Haha... Hahaha, dare to provoke me, I will make you all pay a heavy price."

He immediately ordered the Serenity to sail in the direction of the rope.

On the other side, the Sunset Beauty slowly slowed down, and did not sail into the depths of the sea of ​​smoke, but waited for the appearance of the Serenity.

On the deck, everyone was also preparing hurriedly.

The mercenaries held their weapons tightly, their muscles tensed, ready to fight at any time.

The crew members who were nervous before also found their weapons. Although they were still afraid, they also mustered up their courage.

Only the Blood Dragon Guards stood quietly on the deck, like sculptures, motionless. Their calmness gave others a glimmer of confidence.

Gavin stood at the bow, looking deeply at the fog ahead. He knew that this battle was inevitable, and they had to go all out.

After a while, the Serenity slowly emerged from the fog and appeared in Gavin's sight.

Because the fog blocked the view, the distance between the two ships was too far to use catapults, and at most they could use crossbows to shoot at each other.

Kairos, who was commanding on the deck, noticed the appearance of the Serenity, his eyes were stern, and he decisively ordered.

The two crossbows of the Sunset Beauty were fired instantly, and the crossbow arrows shot towards the bow of the Serenity like a meteor. With a loud bang, one of the crossbows on the bow of the Serenity was successfully destroyed.

The crew on the Serenity was angered by this sudden attack, and they immediately fought back.

More crossbows with powerful impact instantly lifted off the two crossbows of the Sunset Beauty, and the crew members who were operating the crossbows were also affected by the crossbows. The powerful kinetic energy instantly penetrated their bodies, and they screamed for a while, making some crew members more panicked.

In the initial battle between the two sides, Gavin was slightly inferior.

But Gavin had expected this, and he still stood calmly on the second deck, his face very calm.

The Sunset Beauty was just an armed merchant ship, and faced with the long-range attack of the three strange warships, it was bound to suffer a disadvantage in terms of the number of crossbows and the range.

After firing a round of crossbows, the Serenity did not reload, but drew out their weapons and waited for battle. They were experienced in naval battles and knew that at the current distance between the two sides, the two ships would collide before the crossbows were reloaded, and the only way to decide the outcome of the battle was to board the ship.
