Chapter 299 Unleashing the Ultimate Hammer!
Yangji City.
Compared to the lively atmosphere of King's Landing, the Tower of the Sun was as cold as an icebox.
Koolen's face was grim, his hands gripping the armrests of the throne tightly.
Anyone with eyes could see that he was suppressing his anger.
"Your Highness, we must make plans as soon as possible."
Count Toran of Soul Hill offered sincere advice.
"What preparations are being made? To go to war with the Iron Throne?"
Count Dan of the Lemon Grove scoffed.
Coolen's sharp eyes fixed on the latter, who was making sarcastic remarks, silently issuing a warning.
Count Dan was startled, his expression shifting as he lowered his head.
He hadn't forgotten that before the fall of the Three Women's Kingdom, Prince Coolen had always been a proponent of war.
He actively participated in anything that could disrupt the Iron Throne.
Only after the Strait of Hormuz was blockaded did they become forced to switch to the pro-peace faction.
His methods were endless and were once terrifying.
After a long silence, Coollen suddenly laughed: "Jon Vance is a complete idiot, so his failure is not hard to predict."
The key lies in how to deal with it next.
Count Toran quickly replied, "I have contacted Jacaron Greyjoy of the Iron Islands and offered to plunder the wealth of the Stone Steps and Stormlands in exchange for his fleet's support."
"In addition, both Valantis and the Terosi mercenaries responded."
Nothing is better than preparing for war.
Who knows if Aemon the Dragon Slayer, after his dragons have burned through Vance's army, will march south?
Coolen's eyes flickered as he asked, "What's the situation with the Ellenwood, Fowler, Uller, and Dane families?"
These were the main vassals of the Martell family.
Earl Dane answered first: "The Ellenwood family has reacted strongly to the news of Earl Vance's military campaign, and some are already discussing joining in."
Count Toran sighed, "The Tali family of Horn Hill and the Karen family of Nightsong City have both sent troops to block the Prince's Pass. Count Baron Fowler is like a frightened bird, mobilizing his troops. The atmosphere is tense."
There were no major changes in the Uller and Dane families.
At most, it was Count Uller's "sand toad" who ran back to his lair, Prison Gate Fortress, and began recruiting vassals and mercenaries, turning Prison Gate Fortress into an impregnable fortress.
It seems they don't want to get involved with either Yangji City or the Vance family.
Upon hearing this, Coolen fell silent for a moment.
Dorne's spirit of rebellion was suppressed, and the people within the organization were scattered.
His authority is crumbling.
Earl Toran secretly observed the prince's expression and cautiously said, "The marriage fleet is about to arrive in King's Landing. If we can ransom Earl Olifer, there might be a turning point."
Should we continue to seek a settlement?
After careful consideration, Coolen shook his head inwardly.
If this continues, his vassals will tear him to pieces.
The Ellenwood family is about to rebel.
"Damn Vance!"
Koollen clenched his fist.
At least Count Vance still controls Bloodstone Island and has not been completely defeated by the dragons.
He needs to provide some assistance.
Coollen made a quick decision and said seriously, "Send a letter to the Iron Islands and recruit more mercenaries, the more the better."
Dorne needs a war.
Regardless of victory or defeat, we must show our vassals our attitude.
The war doesn't need to be large-scale; burning on the Stone Steps Islands is enough.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Count Toran accepted the order and withdrew.
Earl Dan's eyes darted around, and he tentatively asked, "What if the Ellenwood family asks...?"
They have hostages locked up in the dungeons of the Red Fort.
Coolen said coldly, "Inform them to launch an attack on the Stone Steps Islands."
The Ellenwood family preferred conquest by force to paying ransom.
Count Dan was overjoyed and went out in high spirits.
The prince was finally persuaded to send troops.
Coolen remained silent, simply weighing the pros and cons.
An honest marriage alliance, a plan to feign compliance with the Iron Throne, is clearly not going to work out.
He would rather have his head chopped off by his vassals than have Yangji City burned down by the dragon.
It's really come to a critical moment.
He could only emulate the old princess Merella Martell, the "Yellow Toad," by abandoning all cities and lands and leading his army and able-bodied men into the vast desert to fight.
The sacrifices will be great.
It might cost a generation of Dorne.
But they had no other choice.
……
Half a month passed quickly.
Every day, Imon rode Vormisor, wandering through the lower half of the fjord, all the way to the edge of the Summer Sea.
He was looking for the best location.
On this day, he received some good news.
The troops from Mil and Long Lake entered the disputed territory near Tyresh.
It is adjacent to the fjord and is the "Broken Arm" opposite the Broken Arm of Dorn.
At the same time, I received some news that was neither good nor bad.
Sunspear City has assembled a naval fleet of 100 ships from the Iron Islands, Valantis, and Tyrosian mercenaries, with 13,000 men going first and 5,000 men following.
Koolen personally led his troops out of the Greenblood River and approached the Stone Steps Islands along the Summer Sea.
Floating Wood City.
Imon sat on the ground, with a sand table of stone steps and islands arranged in front of him.
"Coollen has sent troops; this is a blatant provocation!"
Corliss spoke coldly and sarcastically.
Imon didn't even look up, completely absorbed in his analysis.
Seeing this, Corliss couldn't help but get angry: "Are you listening? Once Coolen's army enters the Stone Steps Islands, it will be difficult for us to take them back."
Back then, it was only occupied by pirates from the Three Women Kingdom, which wasted several years of hard work by him and Damon.
Dorne is determined to conquer the Stone Steps Isles, and even with a few more dragons, it won't be easy for them.
It requires a lot of manpower, material resources, and time.
"I know, I know."
Imon gave a perfunctory reply.
Kolis laughed in exasperation: "You say there will be an earthquake on the Steps Islands? When will that be? Until the end of time?"
He saw no feedback from the prophetic dream, only that the battle was gradually turning against him.
"Aren't the Unsullied and the Second Sons already here?"
Imon disagreed.
"Not enough, kid."
"Corliss said in a deep voice."
The three thousand Immaculate Ones and the three thousand Second Sons remained stranded on a barren beach without a port, unable to make any real difference to the battle.
Aemon understood his feelings, put down the sand table flag that he had been moving around, looked up and smiled, "Don't worry, they'll do their job."
stomping on...
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came in.
They both turned their heads at the same time.
Then Imond and Helena, dressed in dragon harness suits, came running in.
The former, panting, excitedly said, "They're here! The fleet led by Coollen is almost upon the Stone Steps Islands." Imon and Corliss exchanged a glance.
"The time has come."
Aemon smiled and stood up, finally planting the small flag on the Bloodstone Island location on the sand table—a carefully selected, auspicious spot.
Corliss's expression shifted, but he was captivated by the other person's smile and, inexplicably, chose to trust him.
The Targaryens seem to possess a kind of magic.
You might think they have all sorts of flaws, to the point that you feel contempt and resentment towards them.
But I have to admit.
These guys exude an indescribable charm just by standing there.
Damon was like that, and so was Amon.
……
Stone Steps Islands.
Under Aemon's command, the Myr and Valerian fleets lifted their siege of Bloodstone Isle.
Earl Vance nearly dropped his jaw in astonishment upon hearing the scout's report: "They've retreated?"
Is there some kind of conspiracy?
Is it a preparation for a series of bombardments by dragons, or is there some external force such as a tsunami or storm?
"Investigate again!" Earl Vance said anxiously.
However, it suddenly went dark outside the window of Dragonblood Fortress.
The Dornish soldiers guarding the city looked up and saw a bronze dragon so unforgettable that it haunted their memories.
“Hiss—”
Vormisor roared and circled Bloodstone Island three times, seemingly foreshadowing something big that was about to happen.
"Quiet, Vomisol!"
Aemon patted the dragon's back with a smile on his face.
Why aren't you smiling?
Soon all the enemies will be dead.
Broken arm angle.
Koolen sailed in a large ship, surrounded by the Iron Islands and mercenary warships, heading towards the Stone Steps Islands.
In the distance, it looks like two clouds are fighting.
"Hiss!"
"Hiss..."
It was Silver Wings and Gray Shadow, two light-colored giant dragons weaving through the clouds, playfully pouncing and frolicking.
"Stop!"
Koolen was startled and ordered the large ship beneath him to stop sailing.
"Your Highness, we will arrive in about fifteen hours."
"Count Dane said anxiously."
Coolen stared blankly at the two increasingly indistinct dragons in the distance and said, "Let the Iron Islands and the mercenaries' ships go first. We'll go after the war is over."
"Your Highness..."
Count Dann, unable to dissuade him, sighed in frustration and went to relay the orders.
Koolen ignored this, still preoccupied with the two dragons he had just seen.
Suddenly, an ominous feeling welled up inside me.
……
Bloodstone Island.
Earl Vance lay at the cave entrance, gazing down at the bronze dragon.
Riding on Vormisor, Imon gazed across the sea as warships drew ever closer.
The canvas on the ship was painted with intricate patterns.
There's the Martell family's Sun-Piercing Spear, the Greyjoy family's Golden Sea Monster, the Erenwood family's Black Gate, and the Three Women's Kingdom's Lustful Goddess...
There are even a large number of Iron Islands flags.
For example, a bright red background with white bone hand, a black background with silver scythe, a red background with gold trim and a black horn...
Imon found it amusing.
The Iron Islands seemed to have come out in full force, like sharks that had smelled blood and pounced on it without regard for the consequences.
"Then let's all stay."
Imon murmured softly.
A dragon-shaped ring flashed on his fingertip, and a jet-black hammer appeared in his hand.
The Iron Islands fleet was the fastest, and the large ships with their golden sea monster sails were almost at the shore.
"Hiss!"
Suddenly, a graceful, light blue dragon flew across the sky, skimming over the sea and rapidly ascending into the air.
It's like it's sending a signal.
Aemon tilted his head slightly, patted the dragon's back with one hand, and gripped his hammer tightly with the other: "Fly, Vormisor!"
“Hiss—”
As if sensing the surging emotions of its pilot, Vomisol rose wildly with a roar, its two wings suddenly taking off as it pushed off the ground.
The bronze behemoth was extremely fast.
Count Vance only saw the bronze color break through the leisurely white clouds, and in an instant, he was already thousands of meters above the sky.
Suddenly, a flash of red light appeared in the sky.
"What the hell?"
Earl Vance leaned out, wanting to see more clearly.
The red light resembled a shooting star, getting closer and closer to the ground.
Until they were almost landing on the island.
Earl Vance finally saw it clearly and was instantly dumbfounded: "A... hammer!?"
More accurately, it is a hammer surrounded by flames.
Above, Imon brought up the control panel.

Evaluation: "Young man, you have accomplished something great."
The panel flips over, revealing a foggy card panel.
Three illusory cards, one gray and two white, floated by without having any effect.
Below the panel, a golden hourglass was spinning wildly.
The original [Essence Quantity: 10310] dropped at an extremely rapid pace.
The panel notification sounded at the appropriate time.
"[Flame Hammer] Charged with 10000 points of mana essence, activated!"
Aemon remained calm as he watched the [Essence Quantity: 310] fall of the [Fire Hammer].
This moment seems to be moving very slowly.
But to Earl Vance, the strange hammer seemed to be falling rapidly.
An indescribable sense of horror filled his body, making him instinctively want to run away and scream wildly.
But he remained motionless, and when he opened his mouth, he couldn't make a sound.
Until the hammer hit the ground.
boom--! !
