Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 42: Red Sea
The sunlight sprinkled on the white waves of the sea, flashing a slightly blood-golden light. The thick oars slapped the sea surface, stirring up more waves.

Earl Tolan's brother, Harrien Sand, stood on the deck of the flagship "Desert Dancer", staring at the sky with some uneasiness. Beside him was the captain of the three-hundred-oared warship, the Lysian Hayek Tamas. In this era of coexistence of turmoil and peace, three of the nine free trade cities, Myr on the coast, Lys on the island, and Tyrosh in the north of the Stepstones, came together. Their lords and governors swore an oath with their respective gods. Together, they formed the Three Cities Alliance, known as the "Three Daughters' Kingdoms". Their ships had been hit by the fleet of Varese many times, and even lost their eastern route for a time. In the Narrow Sea, the pirate activities of the Three Daughters' Kingdoms were also hit hard by the Velaryon family.

The Kingdom of the Three Daughters, which had suffered a setback, was in urgent need of reinforcement. At this time, the Tolan family came with a large amount of gold, which was exactly what they wanted. Moreover, they could also disgust their old rivals, so why not? So the Kingdom of the Three Daughters happily gathered 50 large warships to assist the Tolan family in transporting the main infantry.

Earl Sharel Tolan personally led 900 cavalrymen and 200 temporarily hired riders northward by land, and joined forces with 1500 spearmen of the Jordain family, preparing to join forces with Earl Uller and advance towards the frontier army stationed in the Strong Wine Canyon at the border between the territory of Well City and the territory of Yronwood City.

At the same time as Earl Toland was heading north, the Martell family also began to gather troops. A huge team consisting of 6000 spearmen and 1200 cavalrymen slowly gathered towards Sunspear. Although Dorne was in chaos at the moment, many lords of East Dorne and Middle Dorne still chose to send troops for the Martell family, even though they did not have as many troops as those great nobles.

However, Harien Sand was not in the mood to care about the things on the shore at this time, because the leading ship sent a flag signal that they had discovered the fleet of the Varese family. At least 20 large sailing ships and 5 large sailing ships were escorting dozens of giant merchant ships to the east coast of Dorne. After discovering the fleet of the Kingdom of the Three Daughters, the escort fleet left three warships to escort the merchant ships and continued to move forward. The remaining warships turned and headed towards the fleet of the Kingdom of the Three Daughters.

"Lord Gunthor, we don't have as many ships as the three bitches. If they rush over, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on." A skinny old man with a white beard said with some concern. He was wearing an old leather armor with a blue sea snake painted on his chest. He was the captain of the three-hundred-oared warship named "Azure Sea Serpent", Miles Stone, a bastard of the valley. When he was young, he followed the "Sea Serpent" Earl Corliss Velaryon to sail the seas. This "Azure Sea Serpent" came from the wealth accumulated during the voyage. The old Miles was eager to shed the name of a bastard, so he chose to go south to Longzel to try his luck.

After all, Longzel issued a recruitment order in Black Harbor City to expand his group of retainers.

Gunthor Jieyan leaned on the railing of the warship's observation deck and shook his head. "Captain Miles, you are still too cautious." He pointed to the sky. "Your Highness's dragon is nearby and can come to support at any time."

"Your Highness? How does he know?"

"The Silver Dragon is observing everything from the top of the clouds. He and Master Valar have been patrolling the surroundings and protecting the waterway." Gunthor's tone was filled with respect. "Send a signal. Tell His Royal Highness that we have captured the enemy's warship."

A Silver Blood Army soldier immediately lit the smoke signal on board, and a straight black smoke rose into the sky, reaching above the clouds.

At the coast, while biting a half-burned whale, Womisoel suddenly looked up at the thin black smoke in the distance. In this regard, dragons are much more sensitive than humans. Longzel tilted his head to look in the direction of Womisoel's roar and immediately understood what his companion had discovered.

"Good job, Gunthor." Longzel drank the last bit of soup in the helmet, put the pad on the helmet, and put it on his head again. He climbed onto Wormithal's dragon saddle with a grunt and gently patted Wormithal's broad dragon back.

The dragon shook its head and roared towards the sky.

"Roar."

"Vormithor, take off." A command in High Valyrian followed. The dragon spread its wings and leaped down from the cliff. Its huge claws lightly skimmed the water, raising a wave of white waves. The dragon flapped its wings and soared into the sky, disappearing above the clouds in a few breaths.

"Big ship, prepare for collision." Gunthor prepared to prevent impact. "Everyone, prepare for hand-to-hand combat." He drew his long sword. Captain Miles also raised his long-handled axe. "Lord Gunthor, naval battles are still the most exciting." The old captain grinned as he watched the ships of the Kingdom of the Third Daughter approaching.

"Prepare for impact. Archers, archers! Fire! Fire!" Commander Hayek also commanded his own fleet. He placed his own Lys warships at the end of the team, with Myr's warships leading the way. The Tyrosh warships were lined up in a row to encircle Varese's fleet on both sides.

The sea was instantly covered by a rain of arrows and burning stones. The Varese family's galleons were tall and high, and they fired arrows and stones from a high position. The low-slung galleys could not gain much advantage in front of them, but the galleys also had their advantages. The Three Daughters Kingdom had more ships and more flexible turns. They hunted the Varese family's purple-sailed galleons like a pack of wolves.

A large sailing ship was quickly set on fire. But beside the large ship, at least three galleys were also burning, and one or two warships were slowly sinking.

"boom".

The ramming horn of the Azure Sea Serpent smashed a galley in half, and another galley from the Kingdom of the Three Daughters took the opportunity to get close. The black strongman from the Summer Isles swung out his grappling hook, and the Dornish spearmen on the ship threw out their spears one after another.

Then they were all blocked by the large wooden shields arranged by Miles. Taking advantage of the time gained by throwing javelins, the Dornishmen jumped onto the Azure Sea Serpent one after another. Gunthor chopped off the wooden spear of a Dornish spearman with a sword, and slid down to chop off the Dornishman's head. Miles also swung his battle axe, first chopping off the spear, then chopping off the head, all in one go, as smooth as flowing water.

The same was true for the Silver Blood soldiers on the ship. These warriors held up their battle axes and spears and fought fiercely with the Dornish spearmen who jumped aboard. A slightly smaller Varese ship also rushed over and rammed into another warship of the Kingdom of the Three Daughters that was trying to board it. The huge crack directly overturned the warship that was a circle larger than the small boat, but the people on the warship did not sit still and wait for death. They all boarded the small boat and tried to seize the warship.

On the warship, a shirtless young man was wielding a long-handled battle axe. All the Dornishmen who tried to approach him had their spears and body parts chopped off by the whirlwind-like battle axe.

"Hmm?" Gunthor beheaded a Dornishman in scale armor neatly, and when he looked up, he saw a young man who was playing with a long-handled battle axe like a whirlwind. "Is this your grandson?" He looked at Miles Stone, who was panting and pulling the battle axe out of a corpse. "Ah?" The old captain narrowed his eyes and took a look. "This damn kid, is he looking for death by not wearing armor? After the battle, I will beat his ass until it blooms."

"What's your grandson's name?" Gunthor swung his sword and cut off a Dornishman's right hand, before he could even scream. "Your Highness will like it."

"Samwell, huh, this damn kid." Miles said with disgust, but Gunthor could hear the old man's pride. He also looked at Sebastian in the same way when he talked about him to others.

"Dragon! The prince is coming!"

The Silver Blood Army soldier on the watchtower suddenly shouted.

A fireball fell from the sky and landed precisely on the flagship where Harien and Commander Hayek were. The huge ship with 300 oars was torn apart in the heat wave in the blink of an eye, and those who were close could even see the moment when human bodies evaporated in the flames.

Fireballs came one after another, and almost every fireball could blow up a ship of the Three Daughters Kingdom. A huge bronze dragon suddenly swooped down from the clouds, and its huge wings almost darkened the entire naval battlefield.

"Vormithor, Dragon Flame."

There was a dangerous flicker of fire in Vermithor's throat.

Long lines of fire poured out, and ships exploded wherever they passed. People floating on the sea were scalded to death as they wailed.

Even the sea water is boiling.

The giant dragon slowly rose after spitting out a circle of dragon flames around the fleet, and the ships of the Kingdom of Three Daughters were engulfed in flames almost at the same time.

Gunthor ran to the bow excitedly, admiring the giant dragon sending enemy warships into the sea of ​​fire. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and said, "Captain Miles, evacuate all ships to the periphery, quickly!"

Captain Miles looked at the warships being shattered by the flames one by one and the gradually boiling sea, and immediately understood what Gunthor meant. He staggered to the observation deck and fetched a horn.

"Woo woo woo woo woo"

Dull horn sounds rang out from each ship, and almost all the warships with purple sails turned around at the same time and retreated to the periphery at full speed.

At this time, Womisoer also roared to the sky and spewed the most blazing flames into the sea.

The sea boils and the oak burns.

The fleet was burned to the ground.
