The empire's fleet arrived and destroyed the ships of pirates and slave hunters, freeing this quiet and peaceful island from the black hands.
The peace-loving Nas people living on the island were originally frightened by the sudden outbreak of a naval battle on the sea. The war was raging and the smoke was filled. They did not even have the courage to resist in the face of the invasion. Where had they seen such a scene?
However, when Miraz, the messenger of the Nath people on the imperial fleet, disembarked and returned to the tribe to explain the situation clearly to everyone, the shivering people hiding in the dense forest breathed a sigh of relief.
The political structure of Nass Island is similar to that of the Summer Islands. There is no unified country. However, the difference is that many tribes in the Summer Islands have been fighting for years. However, none of the tribes have the ability to unify other tribes. They lack a conqueror like Aegon.
'.
The Nas people are different because they believe in the God of Harmony and advocate peace-loving and non-conflict. Therefore, they have not formed a unified country, but have become good-neighborly and friendly tribes based on ethnic groups.
Therefore, the tribal leader of the Nas people is called the 'chief' instead of the tribesmen of the Midsummer Islands who are also called the 'chief'. Although the meaning is roughly the same, they are both leaders of the tribe, but the essence between the two is different.
There is a huge difference. The chiefs of the Nas people are mostly respected elders who serve all the tribesmen, rather than a powerful person who asks everyone to serve him.
At the same time, because our ancestors once actively participated in the world's trading system, and during the Dawn Era, Nas Island has a trajectory of human activity. Therefore, although the land area of Nas Island is less than one-tenth of the Midsummer Islands,
, but the level of civilization is obviously higher.
Otherwise, they would not face difficulties and actively send envoys to seek self-rescue.
But the hard work paid off, and the peace-loving Nas people finally found reinforcements to protect themselves.
"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor, and thank you, Lord Governor, for saving the fate of Nass Island."
Facing the imperial fleet docked at the port, the Nath tribe held some discussions and finally selected the tribe leader who sent Milaz to seek help from the Iron Throne to greet them.
This is an old man who looks very strong. His skin is a bit brownish-red and dark in color, not as dark as the skin of the tribesmen on the Midsummer Islands.
At this time, after the war ended, the wreckage of ships and the corpses of pirates were floating everywhere on the sea.
Miraz, the envoy of the Nas people, did not know much about the system of the new empire. In his opinion, the person who entrusted a land to a land was the 'Governor'. There were many governors in the empire. Maybe his expression was wrong or maybe he was the patriarch.
There was a problem with their understanding. The Nas thought Asha was a governor, which resulted in a beautiful misunderstanding.
When Asha heard this misunderstanding, her heart moved slightly, but she didn't explain it in detail, she just nodded in agreement.
After all, the army she led was now more than a thousand miles away from King's Landing, literally thousands of miles away, but no one came to criticize her, so she could call herself the emperor's hand to these natives.
And then Asha also learned the reason why these pirates were hiding in the cabin and did not get off the ship. It turned out that there was a terrible virus on Nass Island called "Butterfly Fever".
This virus will only infect non-native residents of the island, so this is the reason why the Nas people, a peace-loving people who are not even willing to take up arms to defend themselves, have not become extinct so far.
Butterfly Fever protected them, repelling the Gurgeth Empire, Valyrian colonists, Volantis adventurers, and pirates.
But as time went by, pirates and slave-catching teams found the weakness of the virus.
Butterfly fever is so called because butterflies are the carriers of the virus, and they will not be infected by the virus as long as they land at night when the butterflies are resting.
"I see."
Asha Greyjoy met with the representative leader of the Nath people on the ship. It was for this reason that Miladz's opposition was encountered when the Imperial soldiers were preparing to land.
But Asha still needs to find a place to stay when she leads the fleet from afar. Not counting the 300 soldiers who stayed in the Midsummer Islands, the fleet currently has less than 2,000 people.
When they stayed at the Midsummer Islands, they replenished some soldiers and recruited local warriors to be organized into the army.
However, since so many people cannot land and station on Nass Island, they naturally cannot float on the water all the time.
But after consulting the respected old patriarch of the Nas people, he also told her that there were 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 Gujith Empire first discovered them.
"How to do?"
However, after sending away the old patriarch of the Nath people, Asha Greyjoy, who was in charge of the Imperial Navy fleet, frowned, holding on to the desk in the Viserion's command room, looking at the map and falling into confusion.
In deep thought.
"Attack the Basilisk Islands, or retreat to the Summer Islands?"
The two methods represent two directions and attitudes respectively, one is extremely radical, and the other is prudent.
There is no doubt that retreating to the Midsummer Islands is a prudent approach. If they retreat to the Midsummer Islands, the pirates entrenched in the Basilisk Islands will naturally pursue them if they want to take revenge. If they do not pursue them, they will give in to each other.
No matter what, it is a sure-win choice without making any mistakes.
As for the other opposite method, Asha directly sends her troops to attack the Basilisk Islands. This tactic will bear great risks, but it can catch the opponent off guard. High risks and high returns coexist.
After all, all the pirates around Nass Island were wiped out in the recent naval battle. Now the pirate base camp of the Basilisk Islands has no defense against the imperial fleet, and there is no way to think that magic troops will suddenly descend from the sky.
And if the Imperial Fleet can really destroy the pirates entrenched in the Basilisk Islands in this war, it will have the foundation to dominate the Summer Sea. In the future, it may continue to absorb and grow and become the foundation of the Summer Sea.
overlord.
"How to do?"
A young female general from the Iron Islands wearing fish scale soft armor stared at the map in front of her with sharp eyes. For the first time, she felt the pressure of holding tens of millions of lives in her hands.
"grown ups?"
However, all the commanders and captains of the fleet present turned their attention to her. Although Asha's face looked cold and unsmiling on the surface, sweat was actually dripping from her palms.
Because until now, she could not understand what Viserys told her before sending her away.
"When you come to the end of the world, every decision you make needs to be carefully considered."
"Asha."
"Because you have no one to rely on except pulling the skin of a tiger."
"I believe you can return safely."
On the other side, the man who had said these words to Asha in the past was riding his horse on the beautiful plains of the Reach, admiring the sunset.
"Viserys."
The convoy was moving slowly in the distance, and Rhaenys Targaryen, the eldest princess of the empire, saw him riding a horse alone on a hill, and then patted his horse and caught up.
