Chapter 207 Dragon Arrives on the Battlefield
Gavin sat on Blazing Shadow's back, overlooking the battlefield below. He quickly discovered the commander of the counter-rebellion. Morizdan's equipment that was clearly different from the slave soldiers was particularly conspicuous.
After identifying the target, Gavin decisively ordered Chiying to attack.
Blazing Shadow let out a roar and swooped down like a bolt of lightning.
When the counter-rebel soldiers saw the dragon coming towards them, they ran away in fear. Morizdan did not run away. He couldn't help but throw away his weapon and closed his eyes in despair.
"Dracarys"
Following Gavin's command, Blazing Shadow opened its huge mouth, and a puff of dragon flame spurted out, instantly engulfing Morizdan and the people around him.
The high-temperature dragon flames made the air seem to burn, and Morizdan turned to ashes before he could even let out a scream.
When the counter-rebel soldiers saw their commander being burned to death, they fell into even more confusion. The soldiers panicked, some abandoned their helmets and fled in all directions; some stood still on the spot, not knowing what to do.
The rebels were also shocked by this sudden scene and did not even seize the opportunity to attack.
Kyle reacted quickly after being shocked and shouted the slogan of charge loudly. His voice woke up the soldiers, and the rebels rushed towards Ping's army like a tide.
Facing the sudden attack by the rebel army, the slave soldiers of the counter-rebel army did not offer any resistance. They knelt down and surrendered their weapons. They were soon completely defeated by the rebel army.
With the end of the battle, a brief calm returned to the Worm Riverside.
Gavin rode Blazing Shadow and slowly landed on the edge of the battlefield. The strong wind whipped up by Chiying's huge wings blew the dust around, as if a small storm had just swept through.
Several rebel soldiers here suddenly saw the dragon coming and suddenly panicked. Their eyes widened with extreme horror on their faces, as if they were seeing the end of the world.
One of the soldiers turned around instinctively and wanted to escape, but in his panic, he lost his footing and fell to the ground.
His heart was beating violently, and fear made his body so stiff that he couldn't move. Before he could struggle to get up, Chiying's huge dragon head slowly approached him.
The dragon's eyes are like huge gems burning with fire, shining with mysterious and majestic light. The soldier was so frightened that he did not dare to breathe. He pressed his body tightly to the ground, as if this would make him disappear from the dragon's sight.
Gavin jumped off the dragon's back calmly, with majesty in his eyes.
He walked up to the soldier and said, "Go get Kyle and come see me."
When the soldier heard these words, he felt as if he had been granted amnesty.
His body seemed to regain strength instantly, and he stood up in a hurry. He didn't even have time to dust himself off, and ran towards the rear of the rebel army.
His steps were fast, as if there was some terrible monster chasing him behind him.
Gavin stood on the edge of the battlefield with a calm expression, quietly waiting for Kyle's arrival.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and the breeze blew gently, carrying the smell of gunpowder smoke on the battlefield.
Not long after, Gavin saw Kyle walking quickly in the distance.
Kyle's eyes were full of mixed emotions, both surprise and awe.
When he saw Gavin's face from a distance, he couldn't help but feel a strong shock in his heart.
He immediately recognized Gavin. Apart from his brief visit in the camp that day, he knew nothing about Gavin except that he was the one who was helping them behind the scenes. He was only deeply impressed by Gavin's superior attitude. .
However, today's scene completely overturned his understanding of Gavin.
When Kyle came closer and clearly saw the huge blazing shadow next to Gavin, his heart beat faster involuntarily.
His mind quickly recalled those legends about dragons. A few years ago, he heard that a dragon king brought dragons back from the ruins of Valyria. That dragon king was the lord of the Stepstone Islands.
At that time, he only thought that this might be a ridiculous rumor. After all, the dragon was extinct, how could it appear again in the world.
But what he saw with his own eyes today made him believe that it was all true.
Kyle's steps were slightly heavy, and every step seemed to be filled with endless thoughts. He stared closely at Gavin and Chiying, constantly thinking about the other party's purpose. With that giant dragon, if he wanted to deal with the Good Lord, he didn't need to help them, the escaped slaves, as long as he rode the dragon over Astapor. Just circle around a few times and turn that place into a sea of fire.
Gavin looked at Kyle who was gradually approaching, his expression calm and majestic.
Kyle stopped a few steps away from Gavin and bowed his head slightly in respect.
Kyle was the first to speak, with a hint of nervousness and awe in his voice: "Your Excellency, I didn't expect to see you again today. I didn't have time to thank you for your assistance to the rebels last time we met, and now you are supporting us with your dragon. , On behalf of the rebel army, I would like to thank you for your help. I don’t know your name yet.”
Gavin nodded slightly and said in a calm tone: "My name is Gavin Belleris, and I am the king of the Stepstone Islands and the Narrow Sea. Astapor has been captured by me, and most of the good lords have been executed. From now on, I will rule I'm here to put an end to this chaos. There needs to be a new order in Slaver's Bay."
When Kyle heard this, his eyes widened in shock, his face full of shock and surprise.
He hurriedly asked: "What do you mean by order?"
Gavin narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I know what you want to ask. There are no slaves in the country I rule, but the situation in Slaver Bay is special. I don't plan to abolish slavery in Astapor at present. Now is not the time. Kyle, you are a talent. As long as you pledge allegiance to me and lead them to fight for me, I can grant freedom to all the rebel soldiers."
After hearing Gavin's words, Kyle's heart was instantly entangled.
On the one hand, he was shocked by Gavin's strong strength and decisive actions.
Astapor was captured, most of the good masters were executed, and the man who claimed to be the King of the Stone Archipelago and the Narrow Sea showed a chilling courage.
However, on the other hand, he felt uncomfortable about pledging allegiance to Gavin.
The rebels fought to overthrow oppression and establish a free country of their own.
Now they have to pledge allegiance to a new ruler, which seems to deviate from their original ideals.
Moreover, he was confused and dissatisfied with Gavin's mention that he did not intend to abolish slavery in Astapor at present, and it was difficult for him to accept it.
Although Gavin did not explicitly refuse to pledge allegiance, the result was self-evident given the other party's promise to give the rebel soldiers freedom.
Even if Kyle did not want to accept the other party's conditions, with the dragon's presence, Kyle could not bring up any idea of resistance. This was not a question of courage, but sending the rebel brothers to their deaths.
