Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon.

Chapter 210: Battle of the Blood Sea (Part )
The completeness and response speed of the Redwyne fleet clearly exceeded the expectations of this raider fleet.

When they found that the Redwyne fleet was already prepared for the battle, and took advantage of the sudden east wind, using sails and oars to sway and accelerate towards them, they felt uneasy.

Among this surprise attacking ironmen team are many old men who participated in the Greyjoy Rebellion during the reign of King Robert.

Balon also launched several raids at the beginning of the rebellion. Under Euron's plan, Victarion led the Iron Fleet to attack Lannisport and burned the Lannister fleet. But later in the Battle of Fair Isle, Stannis led the Royal Fleet to set up an ambush and defeat the Iron Fleet. With the destruction of the Iron Fleet, King Robert I was able to eliminate the threat at sea and land on the Iron Islands to completely suppress the Greyjoy Rebellion.

Although the Redwyne fleet did not set an ambush, the more than 200 ships were generally intact and had already deployed in battle formation.

This made the Ironborn's raid meaningless, and an east wind suddenly blew on the battlefield, and the Redwyne fleet launched a counterattack.

It was supposed to be in a storm here!
Euron's magic should have paralyzed Redwyne's fleet!
However, none of this happened.

The storm suddenly dissipated, and the east wind became stronger.

It seemed as if the last section of the sea route was turning into a collision between the two sides.

Although Redwyne's fleet had only a mile to accelerate, the easterly wind was already blowing harder and harder.

The Redwyne fleet used sails and oars and quickly gained momentum.

"Reef the sails!" the ironborn captain called out.

The situation seemed to have reversed in an instant. The Ironmen fleet could only furl their sails and use their oars, relying on the momentum they had built up to continue moving forward.

But many experienced captains are already terrified and ready to die.

This surprise attack by the Ironborn fleet consisted of only seventy ships, and most of them were longships. The only five ramming ships were the three hundred-oared ships led by Euron at the front of the array. The two hundred-oared and one hundred-oared warships that followed were much fewer than the Redwyne fleet.

When they met in the sea, the Redwyne fleet had already used its advantage in the number of ships to deploy an array that clearly formed a two-wing encirclement, pushing the Ironmen towards the center.

"The Redwyne fleet is well prepared. This is a trap!"

"Damn it, come on, what about traps? The Iron Men are invincible on the sea!"

"We have Euron's sea monster!"

"Euron! Euron! Euron!"

The sea roared with the sound of thousands of oars rising and falling and striking the water, and was filled with roars, shouts, and the trills of horns, drums, and flutes.

"For the King!"

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

The ramming ships of the first row of Redwyne's fleet were less than three hundred feet away from the first row of large ships of the attackers. Trumpets blew in the fleet, faint but piercing, and then countless shouts and the sound of swords and shields rang out on the sea.

People on both ships could even hear each other's roars and shouts.

"Ballista! Fire!"

Whoosh whoosh.

The ballistae on the warships were similar to giant crossbows and worked by torsion. The projectiles were large arrows or darts made of wood with iron tips. These arrows were fired along a flat trajectory towards the target.

It must be pointed out that the power of the crossbow is far from enough to easily break the hard wooden hull. Even if some large crossbows can damage the hull, their poor accuracy and slow firing speed make it difficult for them to play a key role in naval battles.

However, the reason why warships were equipped with crossbows was to fire two rounds before boarding to deter the enemy. Although the power was not great, the crossbow was more accurate than the catapult. It could also be used to set fire or launch grappling hooks when boarding.

At this time, the firing of the huge crossbow arrows was more of a deterrent. Of course, there was also the possibility that the crossbow arrows would fly along a parabola to the deck and kill the enemy soldiers lined up on the deck.

Dozens or even hundreds of huge crossbow arrows were shot out from the front and back of the decks of both sides, briefly intersecting in the air, and then each shot towards the other's ship with its sharp edge.

"Trebuchet!"

After the storm stopped, both sides reacted quickly by removing the tarpaulins from the ships and setting up the catapults.

Because the distance between the two sides was very close when they discovered each other, the soldiers operating the trebuchets had only a very short time to adjust the adjustments, and then they placed burning asphalt barrels and oil barrels on the trebuchets and threw them at each other.

Flaming oil drums and smoking asphalt barrels flew through the gaps between the fleets, aiming at each other's ship decks.

But most of the oil and bitumen drums fell into the sea.

Only a few ships on both sides were hit, and oil and asphalt drums exploded on the hulls, which were then extinguished by the well-prepared sailors using seawater prepared on board.

Two ships were particularly unlucky. Oil barrels fell onto the deck of the ship. The scalding hot oil ignited many soldiers on the deck, and the whole ship was filled with wailing.

Some oil barrels from the Ironborn fell into the sea and were still burning with green flames. They were wildfires. But their wildfires were obviously insufficient, and with hundreds of ships deployed in formation on the sea and warships stretching for two or three miles to engage in battle, the impact of these wildfires was almost negligible.

The second round of crossbows was loaded, and another round of huge arrows attacked each other.

At this time, the ships in the first array of both sides had approached within a hundred feet.

"Prepare!"

"Fire arrows!"

At this distance, the archers lined up on the decks of both sides had already begun to fire the first round of arrows.

Arrows flew like hailstones onto the decks of both sides. Hundreds, thousands, countless in an instant. Many people fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, and their shouts turned into wails.

Soon, the second wave of arrows fell from the sky.

The archers put the third arrow on their bowstrings.

The horn sounded again, woo-woo.

There is no chance for a third round of archery.

The speed of the Ironmen ship was very fast with the help of the previous west wind. Although they had reefed the sails, they still maintained their speed by reefing the sails and replacing the oars with the blades flying.

However, the Redwyne fleet did not set sail fast enough. Despite the increasingly strong easterly wind, the distance to the enemy was not enough to accelerate to the maximum speed, and it was slightly at a disadvantage.

"Get ready to dock!"

On the ramming ship of the Redwyne fleet, a knight swung his sword and shouted an order. The archers on the deck squatted on the spot, and the soldiers who were ready to board the ship shouted in response, grabbing the hull one after another, waiting for the collision. Some people had already prepared the boarding hooks and boarding plates, waiting for the ramming ship to hit the enemy ship!
"There are monsters!"

“Sea Monster!!!”

Suddenly, a terrified scream was heard from a ramming ship of the Redwyne fleet.

Accompanied by the sound of splashing water, several huge sea monster tentacles rose from the sea and slammed heavily onto the deck.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp creaking sound came from the deck, and the sea monster's tentacles directly tore off the mast of the ship that had hit it.

For a moment, wood chips flew everywhere and screams were heard.

The sea monster's tentacles quickly bound the entire ship tightly, and with its terrifying power, it broke the hardwood on the deck one after another, as if it was going to drag the ship into the deep sea.

When the sea monster entangled the Redwyne battleship, the boarding battle had already taken place.

The Redwyne fleet's ramming ships wanted to collide with the Ironmen's ramming ships, but the other side obviously knew that a one-for-one exchange would be a loss, so they tried their best to avoid colliding with the Redwyne fleet and headed straight for the relatively smaller ships in the second array of the Redwyne fleet.

But despite this, two ships still collided. Both ships were huge warships with 300 oars. The speed and force were so strong that all the crew members who were preparing for the boarding battle fell down, and the sailors and crew members in the cabin were all knocked unconscious.

Then, someone shouted first: "Kill!"

The sound of fighting ensued.

The crossbows only had one round of arrows, and then the hooks flew across the two ships that collided. The agile sailors and soldiers used the hooks and mast ropes to start a boarding battle, and blood and flesh flew all over the decks of both sides. The marines collided with each other and let out terrifying shouts.

"dragon!"

"Giant dragon!!!"

Someone from the Ironborn let out a bloodcurdling scream. People followed his gaze and saw a three-headed dragon flying rapidly from the sky over the sea behind the Redwyne fleet.

Viserys did not appear on the battlefield until the two fleets intertwined and the sea monster appeared.

With the joining of the giant dragon, the Redwyne fleet instantly became excited.

"For the King!"

"For the Targaryens!"

On the ship that had already boarded the enemy ship, the knights and soldiers rushed onto the enemy ship with roars and fought bravely.

On the Ironborn side, some captains who had not yet engaged in the battle also reacted and shouted in panic.

"Archers at the ready!"

"Crossbow ready!"

As they watched, the giant dragon flew over the Redwyne fleet and directly over the large ship entangled by the sea monster.

"Suvio!"

Unfamiliar Valyrian words rang out.

Under everyone's horrified gaze, a breath of frost with a chilling aura spurted out from the dragon's mouth and swept towards the sea surface where the sea monster extended its tentacles.

In just a short moment, the sea surface and the bottom of the huge ramming ship were frozen by white solid ice.

The sea monster was unable to react and it was too late to pull its arm back.

"Dracarys!"

The scorching flame ray swept directly across the sea monster's temporarily frozen arm.

Crackling.

The sea monster's tentacles felt pain and flapped wildly, trying desperately to retract them but unable to do so.

Viserys knew that it was better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten, so he just burned the tentacle of the sea monster that stretched out from the sea.

With a creepy hissing sound, a huge tentacle was burned through and broken by the flame rays.

Wow!
In an instant, huge waves rose on the sea.

Several more tentacles rushed out of the water, bringing with them huge waves and slapping towards Viserys.

Viserys lifted himself up a little. The arm was too far to reach.

Instead, Viserys spit out ice again: "Suvio!" and froze the sea water where the sea monster was again.

Suddenly, with a splash, a ball of dark, thick liquid shot out from underwater.

The ink exploded in the air, and a foul-smelling black rain fell.

Viserys flapped his wings and dodged.

The sea monster's tentacles retracted back to the surface of the water without a care in the world, even bringing the ice that Viserys had condensed into the water. One of the tentacles that had been frozen along with the ship was burned off by Viserys, while the others shed their skin and were also pulled back under the sea.

Viserys was still watching the monster's underwater entry.

Several crossbow arrows flew past his body.

The Ironborn ships thought they had found a great opportunity and shot crossbows at the dragon in the sky.

Watch the sea monster disappear.

Viserys simply slowly climbed into the air and flew over the small warships and longships behind the Ironborn fleet.

"Dracarys! Suvio! Vāedar!"

With a loud sound, three rays of light of different colors shot out from the three heads of the dragon at the same time, sweeping towards the Iron Men's longships and small warships from high altitude in an instant.

The Ironborn ships were widely scattered, with the distance between each ship at least forty or fifty yards. Normally, Viserys would be most efficient in attacking with ordinary fireballs in this situation.

But on the battlefield, sometimes ray breath is more deterrent than fireball.

White rays are ice, yellow rays are thunder, and red rays are fire.

Viserys flapped his wings, wantonly spraying different rays at the same ship, or spraying each ray at different ships. For a while, the rear of the Ironborn fleet was hit by rays one after another, and several warships were damaged.

Longships and small warships often cannot withstand a few hits from the terrifying ray breath.

Frost and lightning breaths were okay, but the most deadly was fire breath. The rays of fire breath were extremely powerful, and could tear small ships and long ships apart like a knife through butter, causing great damage, breaking sails, and even cutting the ship into multiple sections, penetrating directly into the cabin, causing damage to the cabin wall, leaks, and sinking the ship. It was a pity that the enemy ships were too scattered.

"Spread out! Prepare the ballistae! Use the Iron Scorpion arrows!"

"Prepare the ballista! Use the iron scorpion arrows!"

beep - beep - beep -

The iron fleet blew a strange lama sound.

Three sounds represent dealing with the dragon!
Although Viserys took the initiative and caused great shock to the enemy, the fleet was in chaos in the melee, and many iron raiders knew they had no way to retreat and could not surrender, so they fell into a frenzy of stress. Euron seemed to have been prepared to deal with the dragon, and equipped the ship accompanying him with iron scorpion arrows.

The longboats that were originally planning to cut through the enemy were paddling in all directions. Some even frantically lowered their sails, trying to use the easterly wind to stop the ship and turn back. The longboats had no front or back distinction, so as long as they could slow down, they could quickly sail westward with the wind.

They tried to keep their distance and shoot with Iron Scorpion crossbows.

However, Viserys is not a dragon from this world, and he also has medium and long-range means.

Since they wanted to fight from a distance, Viserys was happy to join them.

He flew to a certain height: "Dracarys! Suvio! Vāedar!" Still shouting this unnecessary spell, Viserys' three heads accumulated different lights.

The next moment, Viserys turned into a turret, and red fireballs with high temperature, white ice balls with cold air, and golden lightning balls with terrifying aura flew towards the ships that were reacting to the stress like cannonballs.
