Chapter 146 Bloodstone and Gallows

"Yes, father" Boros lowered his head and responded helplessly.

Beaumond went back to his room to rest, while Bolos was still sitting in the dark hall, saying nothing.

The middle-aged knight clenched his fists, which were covered with deep cocoons left behind after wielding a sword. Day after day of fighting had honed his skills and made him extremely tough and eager for challenges.

However, the letter from King's Landing is sharper than any sword, and it is full of people and property that Storm's End should deliver - it must be handed in within a time limit without delay.

Bolos felt very much like a woman.

That woman was his ancestor, the legal wife of Oris Baratheon, and the last Storm Queen Algina.

If, and he meant if, he rejected Rhaenyra, just as Argina's father, Argilac the Proud, had done.

Rejecting Aegon's proposal, he cut off his messenger's hands and put them in a box and returned them with an enclosed letter:

"You bastard can only get these hands from me."

What will happen?

When Queen Rhaenys rode Meraxes into the city to negotiate, Argina declared that the defenders of Storm's End would fight to the last man. However, her men, unwilling to suffer the fate of Harrenhal, tied her up and left her alone.

surrender.

I'm afraid that Princess Rhaenyra, who rode Syrax to Storm's End, will end up in the same fate...

"Father's decision is right. Baratheon has no confidence to resist, and the dragon knights of the Sea Serpent family will not fall out with the royal family."

Dragons...this kind of creature from the outside world conquered all the people of the Seven Kingdoms and brought fear deep into the soul of Westeros.

Even the crowned stag cannot defeat the dragon unless all the beasts struggle together!

But now, all the beasts have turned into the dragon's claws, clamping down on the stag's neck.

———

Bloodstone Island is different from the violent storms in the Stormlands. The weather here is calm and the sunshine is warm.

"Ah!!" screams could be heard endlessly, and on a beach after low tide, a pirate chained to a wooden shackle groaned in pain.

A group of ferocious seabirds were pecking at his eyes, and crabs were building nests on his rotten wounds that were whitened by the sun.

The "crab feeder" heard the sound coming from the seaside, but he was as fascinated as if he were listening to the most beautiful opera.

However, his mind was quietly drifting away, and he did not even hear the suggestions of a certain man in black robe beside him.

"Prince Krahas!" The man in black robes slightly increased his voice, pulling the distracted Myr people back to the camp on Bloodstone Island.

"Sorry, I was thinking about something." Prince Myr unexpectedly apologized first, showing no trace of his cruel and cruel nature.

"What could attract the prince's attention more than the upcoming war?" the man in black robe asked, not satisfied with his answer.

"I heard that Targaryen kept dragons in the courtyard. When he opened his eyes every morning, he would see a living dragon. Such a wonderful life!" Krahass looked at the coastline and talked about another topic.

"No man can resist a fire-breathing dragon."

"No dragon can refuse the meat on his lips," the man in black robe said coldly, his tone revealing his impatience.

It seems that the man in black robe has seen many such dreamy city-state people.

"If I also have a dragon, no matter whether it is disabled or mentally retarded, whether it is big or small, male or female..."

"You don't have a dragon, prince. On the contrary, the dragon will become your most terrifying enemy!"

"Necromancer, don't be anxious." Prince Krahas Dahar of Myr laughed heartily, "You are a friend of the Supreme Council and a guest of the Third Daughter Kingdom. I need you to help me deal with people from Blackwater Bay.

Enemies flying up."

"We must defeat the knight on the dragon's back." It would be best to defeat one or two weak dragons and keep them as his trophies.

"Prince Krahas, from a positive perspective, there are not many examples of shooting down dragon knights." The man in black robe was not as relaxed as Prince Myr, "The wizard group can only do its best, and there is no guarantee that there will be a dragon.

come down."

"I know." Prince Myr suppressed his ambition and drew out his long sword. "The Stepstone Islands are a paradise for pirates. I mean, here, even the dragons cannot wreak havoc!"

Bloodstone Island and Gray Gallows Island are densely covered with caves, extending in all directions. As long as the pirates hide in their lairs, no matter how the dragon spits fire and wreaks havoc outside, it will not be able to harm them at all.

Once the dragon recedes, pirates and mercenaries wearing elite armor will swarm forward and encroach on the combined forces of Targaryen and Velaryon!

"The dragon cannot get into the narrow and dark cave!" Krahas said to the Necromancer, "If Targaryen becomes angry and makes the dragon breathe fire along the cave..."

The "crab feeder" just laughs because it's exactly what he wants!

"Elite archers are ambushed in every cave, and large crossbows have even been dropped in some places!"

The Scorpion Crossbow and Dragon Shooting Crossbow, secretly crafted by the Three Cities Alliance, were dismantled into parts and sent to the crypt for assembly.

While the Targaryens were gathering their troops, Prince Krahas of Myr was not idle, but was training his pirates day and night.

Those who were dissatisfied and made mistakes have all been fed to crabs.

Bloodstone Island and Gray Gallows Island have become strong fortresses and positions. If Targaryen thinks that with dragons he can soar, soar, and burn pirates to death easily...then they are totally wrong.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time since the Valyrian Free Fortress that the trading city-state has faced the threat of the dragon, and it is also the first time that the disputed land has been jointly ruled by the Kingdom of the Three Daughters.

You know, we were still allies with the Targaryens at that time!"

A corner of the Essos continent between the three city-states of Lys, Myr and Tyrosh. This fertile and open land is called the Disputed Lands. It was once a prosperous place under the rule of the Free Fortress.

The ownership of the disputed land has always been uncertain, and the three cities have fought over it for countless years. In the four centuries after the Doom of Valyria, the Free Cities waged frequent wars here.

Until the Bloody Century, the disputed land was controlled by Volantis, to be precise, by the Tiger Party of Volantis. (Volantis was divided into the Tiger Party and the Elephant Party to rule in turn. The Tiger Party advocated using

War conquers the world, while the Xiang Party advocates using a milder means - finance, to control the world.)

Until its hegemony was overthrown by the alliance of various states.

In Braavos, Pentos and Tyrosh, supported by the Durandon family and the Targaryen family, reduced it to scorched earth and successfully liberated Lys and Myr from Volantis.

Sri Lankan forces withdraw from the disputed area.

At that time, the Targaryens on Dragonstone had not yet shown their fangs, and the Durandon family, the rulers of the Stormlands, had not yet changed into Baratheon.

Ten years ago, Volantis invaded the disputed lands again. Lys, Myr, and Tyrosh formed a permanent alliance against Volantis, and they defeated the invaders.

The three kingdoms formed the Kingdom of the Three Daughters, and the disputed areas came under their rule. There was no war in the disputed areas for many years.

"It is impossible for the Targaryens to remain friends with the Trade Federation, especially since they have already taken root in the Seven Kingdoms..." The necromancer's lips wriggled like caterpillars under his black cloak, interrupting the memory of the Prince of Myr.

"It is normal for the Dragon King to demand their power." Krajas nodded, "Even if they were once just small nobles under the main peak of the Free Fortress, they were still great figures to the lower Valyrians and city-states.

.”

"There are forty such families in total. The Targaryens are weak, but they have perfectly avoided the catastrophe!"

"The former trading city-state, whether it was Third Daughter, Volantis, or Braavos...

They are all terrified, fearing that the Targaryens will expand eastward and take over the remains of the Free Fortress!"
