Chapter 741: Difficult choice
The imperial fleet came to destroy the ships of the pirates and slave traps, freeing this quiet and peaceful island from black hands.
The peace-loving Nas people living on the island were frightened by the sudden naval battle on the sea. The war was full of flames and the gunpowder was full of smoke. They didn't even have the courage to resist aggression. How did they ever see such a scene?
However, it was only when Miraz, the Nath messenger on the Imperial Fleet, got off the ship and returned to the tribe to explain the situation to everyone. The shivering people hiding in the dense forest breathed a sigh of relief.
The political structure of Nas Island is similar to that of the Midsummer Islands. There is no unified country, but the difference is that many tribes in the Midsummer Islands have fought year after year, but none of the tribes has the ability to unify other tribes and lacks a conqueror like Aegon. '.
The Nas people are different. Because the Nas people believe in the **** of harmony, they advocate peace-loving and no conflict, so they did not form a unified country, but became a good-neighborly and friendly tribe according to the division of ethnic groups.
Therefore, the tribal leaders of the Nas people are called "patriarchs" instead of the tribal people of the Midsummer Islands, which are called "chiefs". Although they have the same general meaning, they are leaders of the leading ethnic groups, but the essence between the two is It's a big difference. The patriarchs of the Nas people are mostly respected elders, who serve all the people, rather than a powerful person who allows everyone to serve him.
At the same time, because the ancestors had actively participated in the world’s trading system, coupled with the Dawn Era period, Nas Island had a trajectory of human activities. Therefore, although the land area of Nas Island is less than one-tenth of that of the Midsummer Islands. , But the level of civilization is obviously higher.
Otherwise, they will not face difficulties, and actively send envoys to seek self-help.
And the hard work paid off, the peace-loving Nas people finally found rescuers to protect themselves.
"Thank your Majesty the Emperor, and thank the Governor-General for saving the destiny of Nas Island."
Facing the imperial fleet docked in the harbor, the Nathite tribe had some discussions and finally selected the tribal chief who sent Miraz to ask the Iron Throne for help.
This is an old man who seems to have a very strong body. His skin is a bit brownish-red and dark in color. It is not as dark as the tribal people on the Midsummer Islands.
At this time, after the war ended, the wreckage of ships and pirate bodies were floating everywhere on the sea.
Mirazi, the messenger of the Nath people, did not understand the system of the new empire very well. In his opinion, the person who canonized a piece of land was the “governor”. There were many governors in the empire. Perhaps his expression was incorrect or the patriarch. There was a problem with the understanding of, the Nas people regarded Asha as a governor, so they had a beautiful misunderstanding.
While Asha heard this misunderstanding, her heart moved slightly, but she didn't explain it clearly, she just nodded and agreed.
After all, now she is leading the army more than thousands of miles away from King's Landing, which is almost tens of thousands of miles away. Instead, no one comes to stab them. She can deal with the hands of these indigenous people who claim to be emperors.
Then Asha also learned why these pirates hid in the cabin and did not disembark. It turned out that there was a terrible virus on Nas Island called ‘butterfly fever’.
This virus will only infect non-local residents of the island. Therefore, this is the reason why the Nas people, a peace-loving nation that does not even want to take up arms for self-defense, has not gone extinct.
Butterfly fever protected them and repelled people including the Gughis Empire, the colonists of Valyria, the adventurers of Valantis, and the pirates.
But later with the passage of time, the pirates and slavery teams still found the weakness of this virus.
Butterfly fever is called this name because butterflies are the carriers of this virus, and they will not be infected with this virus as long as they land at night when the butterflies are resting.
"I see."
Asha Greyjoy met with the Nath’s representative patriarch on the ship. It was for this reason that the soldiers of the Empire met with opposition from Mirazi when they were preparing to land.
But Asha led the fleet from afar and still needed to find a place to shelter. Excluding the three hundred soldiers who remained in the Midsummer Islands, the fleet now has about less than two thousand people.
When they stayed in the Midsummer Islands, they supplemented some soldiers, recruited local fighters, dispersed them and arranged them in the army.
However, since so many people can't land on Nas Island and stay stationed, it is naturally impossible to float on the water all the time.
But after consulting the respected old patriarch of the Nas people, the other party also told her that there are no islands around Nas Island.
This beautiful island has been floating alone on the sea, so the Nas people have been isolated from the world for a long time, until the Gughis Empire first discovered them.
"How to do?"
However, after sending away the old patriarch of the Nass, Asha Greyjoy, who was in charge of the Imperial Navy fleet, frowned, holding the table in the Vesselion command room, looking at the map and fell into it. In contemplation.
"Attack the Snake Lizard Islands, or retreat to the Midsummer Islands?"
The two methods represent two directions and attitudes, one is extremely radical, the other is steady.
And in this, there is no doubt that retreating to the Midsummer Islands is a prudent way. If you retreat to the Midsummer Islands, the group of pirates entrenched in the Snake Lizard Islands will naturally chase them if they want revenge. No matter how it is a stable choice, no mistakes will be made.
As for the other opposite method, Asha directly attacked the Snake Lizard Islands. This tactic will take great risks, but it can hit the opponent by surprise. High risks and high returns coexist.
After all, the pirates around Nas Island have been wiped out in a recent naval battle. Now the Snake Lizard Islands, the stronghold of pirates, does not have any defense against the imperial fleet~www.NovelMTL.com~ I would never have thought that it would be a sudden warrior. Heaven falls.
And if the imperial fleet can really destroy the pirates entrenched in the snake lizard islands in this war, it will have the foundation to dominate the summer sea, and it may become the summer sea if it continues to absorb and grow in the future. overlord.
"How to do?"
The young female player from the Iron Islands wearing fish scales and soft armor stared at the map in front of her with piercing eyes. For the first time, she felt the pressure of holding the lives of thousands of people in her hands.
"grown ups?"
However, all the commanders and captains of the fleet at the scene turned their eyes to her. Although Asha's face was cold and unsmiling on the surface, sweat was already oozing out of the palms of her hands.
Because until now, she could not understand what Visiris told her before sending her away.
"When you come to the end of the world, any decision you make requires careful consideration."
"Asha."
"Because there is no backing behind you other than a tiger's skin."
"I believe you can return safely."
...
On the other side, the person who had seen Asha say these words at the beginning, is riding his horse on the beautiful river plains, enjoying the beauty of the setting sun.
"Weselis."
The convoy moved slowly in the distance, and the eldest princess of the empire, Renis Targaryen, saw him riding a horse alone on the hill, and then patted his horse to catch up.
