MTL - Game of Thrones: I Became a Crown Prince For a Day-Chapter 368 Twin Castles of the Step Islands

Chapter 368 Stone Step Islands—Twin Castles

 July, midsummer is coming.

 Stone Step Islands—Gallows Island.

 “Escape quickly, everyone return to the cave for refuge!”

 “Defend, don’t let the **** of Pentos bite you…”

　　　…”

On the golden beach, the two sides of mercenaries fought together, trebuchets threw flints, and flames and thick smoke rose.

 “Hold them, don’t let go of a Three-Girl Country pirate!”

　　　…”

On the attacking side, a tall knight in silver armor and white robes, wielding a bolas, led the charge.

　　　咒动—

The meteor hammer swung with great force, hitting a pirate from the Three Women Kingdom on the head with one hammer, and it exploded like a silver bottle.

 Criston Cole, re-appointed as a member of the Kingsguard.

Just in time for the Narrow Sea War, he was once again sent to fight on the Stepped Stone Islands where he had suffered humiliation in his life.

Boom—

The fighting between the two sides became more and more intense. Warships attacked each other on the sea. They set up scorpion crossbows and fired at each other, bombing the warships to pieces.

The mercenary fell into the sea with screams. Just as he tried to get up, he was shot by the enemy's crossbow on the deck, and his blood covered a large area of ​​​​the sea.

Time passed bit by bit, and the battle situation became increasingly tense.

Pirates from the Three Women's Kingdom came from all directions, and the pirates from Gray Gallows Island were about to break through the siege, so they retreated into the cave to hide.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

In an instant, a dragon roared like a loud bell, and a huge black thing broke through the clouds.

 “Dragon Flame!”

Rhaegar, with his silver hair flying, gave orders with a cold face.

"Roar…"

The glutton roared angrily, flapped its wings and swooped down, spraying green dragon flames on the beach.

"dragon!…"

 “Help...Run...”

Smoke-like dragon flames fell down and poured on the heads of the three female pirates gathered together, immediately arousing a shrill wail.

Cole looked up and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Retreat and guard the beach!"

Boom—

The glutton made low-altitude detours again and again, blocking the escape route of the pirates from the Three Women Kingdom to escape back to the cave, and the green dragon flames spurted out wantonly.

 “Fire the arrow, fire the arrow quickly!”

On the peak of the island, a group of pirates armed with crossbows stood scattered, trying to sneak attack the giant dragon in mid-air.

Rhaegar glanced at the sound and sneered: "Gluttons, kill them!"

"Roar…"

The glutton's green vertical pupils swept across, giving up on the pirate struggling in the sea of ​​fire, flapping his wings and gliding against the mountain, grinning a ferocious dragon's kiss.

The green dragon flames jetted across the mountain like a ray, burning hundreds of crossbowmen into dregs in one go.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

 “Hiss…”

At the same time, two loud dragon roars came from the sea, and two dragons, one light silver and one light gray, soared over.

Lanino looked excited, wore silver-gray armor, and shouted bravely: "Dragon Flame!"

 “Hiss…”

Haiyan’s vertical pupils are sharp, and her broad, snow-white wings flap, swooping down to strike with dragon flames at the sea fleet.

Gray shadows surround one person and one dragon, staring at the chaotic battlefield below, spraying orange dragon flame fireballs randomly.

Rumble —

With a burst of screams from the friendly troops, Lanino was shocked and shouted: "Grey Shadow, go to the rear and attack!"

He spoke High Valyrian as best he could to the unowned dragon.

 “Hiss?”

The vertical pupils of the gray shadow flashed with confusion, and the well-proportioned light gray body flew away and plunged into the clouds to watch quietly.

It has no driver, so it is no problem to attack alone, but it is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy in war.

 The pirate below saw the light gray dragon flying away, and he took a big breath.

  Gray Shadow's appearance is not very handsome, his figure becomes slightly thinner as he grows up, and his pair of light gray dragon wings are very wide.

The dragon's head has staggered fangs, a pair of narrow vertical pupils, and a pair of gray-white horns and crowns curved backwards.

 I don’t know if I have been in contact with the glutton for too long, and gradually changed into a terrifying appearance.

 At first glance, it looks like a white ghost.

Seeing the gray shadow shyly hiding, Lanino looked embarrassed and rode the sea smoke to join the battle alone.

 The number of pirates in the Three Women Kingdom is huge, and dozens of warships are stationed on the Stepstone Islands. It is not easy for him to deal with it alone.

 Woooooo—

Suddenly, a high-pitched horn sound was heard, and a small fleet with a crowned stag came from a distance.

 “Hiss…”

Over the fleet, an ugly brown mud-colored dragon soared like a show off, carrying a silver-haired boy on its rugged back.

Aemond's eyes flashed, and he shouted urgently: "Sheep thieves, give them dragon flames!"

 “Hiss…”

The sheep thief screamed sharply, his huge body gliding at low altitude, and densely sprayed dragon flames like mud dots.

The ping-ping-pong-pong bang hit the pirate ship, which not only quickly ignited a brown fire, but also made holes in the deck.

 “Haha~, well done!”

 Aemond laughed excitedly and swayed from side to side in the saddle.

After the running-in period, the sheep thief listened to him very much.

 At least he is obedient when fighting.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Glutton raised his head and roared, dove into the clouds, dived again and sprayed green dragon flames at the pirate ship.

Rhaegar lowered his head to observe the battlefield, and used the dragon under his crotch to crush.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

 The gray shadow emerged from the clouds, saw a familiar man and a dragon, and slowly joined the battlefield.

 Four dragons and two fleets merged, and the situation of the battle immediately changed.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment, the pirates of the Three Women Kingdom were unable to escape at sea, and their people and the ship were burned to nothing.

 …

It was getting late and the naval battle came to an end.

 Gray Gallows Island, temporary residence.

Rhaegar's silver hair was spread over his shoulders, and his face was solemn: "There are still some stubborn defenders on Bloodstone Island, and we need to lead the army to clear them out."

Lanino slapped his chest and affirmed: "Leave it to me to capture Bloodstone Island before dawn tomorrow." "Pay attention to safety. There is a secret passage left on the island. Cole will lead his army to cooperate with you."

 Rega's thoughts turned and he confirmed his strategy.

 Bloodstone Island is Aegon's fiefdom. It has been managed by the royal family for three years, and the terrain and secret passages are already familiar.

 Otherwise, he would not have simply handed over the Stone Step Islands to others.

 Lagnino took the order and set off, and a battle broke out all night.

Rhaegar rubbed his tense brows, considered the terrain of Gray Gallows Island, and thought to himself: "It lacks a strong fortress."

 There are only two large islands in the Stone Steps Islands.

 Bloodstone Island and Gray Gallows Island.

  There are only moderate fortifications on the two islands, and the defense is tight during wartime.

 It is still a military fortress that needs internal improvement.

Just as he was thinking about it, Aemond, wearing a green cloak, ran over quickly and said cheerfully: "Brother, there is a letter from King's Landing."

Rhaegar glanced at him, took the letter and said, "Next time you go to the battlefield, you must wear armor."

 Aemond scratched his head and smiled sadly.

 He ran away secretly and did not have any suitable armor at all.

Eldest brother has caught him and gave him a good education.

Rhaegar briefly read the letter and said with a smile: "The fleets from Old Town, Qingting Island and other places will arrive soon, which is good news."

In this battle on the Narrow Sea, what he pursued was a quick decision to avoid a stalemate.

 At present, they have captured Myr, one of the three female kingdoms, and have regained control of the Stepstone Islands that control the central part of the Narrow Sea. The situation is very good.

As soon as reinforcements arrived, Myr and the Stepstone Islands formed a rivalry and took the lead in capturing the second city-state, and the war was won.

Emond looked happy and said quickly: "Brother, when the reinforcements arrive, I will attack the city with you."

Although he is young, it does not prevent him from having a heart to pursue honor.

Snapped!

Rhaegar slapped him on the forehead with his backhand and asked, "What is the crime of leaving one's post without permission during the war?"

 “Hanging...hanging?” Imond covered his head and said with a guilty conscience.

Rhaegar sneered: "You also know that you dare to sneak onto the battlefield against orders!"

 “I have a dragon, and the sheep thief is very strong,” Aemond argued.

Rhaegar narrowed his eyes and raised his hand again.

 “Don’t!” Aemond retreated continuously.

Rhaegar retracted his hand, leaned over and held his shoulders, with a serious expression: "You have your own mission. The Dornish people can sneak attack from behind at any time, and you and your dragons have to guard the Stormland. Do you understand?"

 The main battlefield of the Narrow Sea War is in the disputed area, while the upper half of the Narrow Sea and Dorne are two side battlefields.

He sent Aegon and Helena to Seagull Town and Crab Island, and asked Jenny to take charge of the overall situation. He was relieved in the upper half of the Narrow Sea.

 Only for the Stormlands, Dorne, and even the Reach, he felt that the arrangement was not certain.

Keolen Martell should know the truth of the coldness of lips and teeth, and will not sit back and watch the destruction of the three female allies.

 Prince's Pass, Bone Road, and Cape Wrath will all become the key attack directions for the Dornishmen.

Aemond's role is to assist Kassandra in suppressing the vassals of Stormland, and to control the dragon to fight a blocking battle at critical moments.

As long as he delays for a while, he can ride back from the sea on a glutton.

Perhaps the father drove Vermisor from King's Landing and led the king's army to block the fortresses along the way.

Hence, Eamond's absence from duty is a serious matter.

Emond's eyes dodge and he lowers his head: "I know."

 “Are you sure?” Rhaegar stared deeply.

Aemond pursed his lips and nodded vigorously.

Rhaegar patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Forget it this time, return to Storm's End early tomorrow morning and watch over Dorne for me."

 “Hmm.” Aemond said gloomily.

Rhaegar smiled and called Robb, who was arranging the garrison, and said: "I plan to build a fortress on Bloodstone Island and Gray Gallows Island respectively, and they will be filled with black dragonstone."

Robb was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you going back to Dragonstone to recruit people?"

 “That’s right.”

Rhaegar thought clearly and arranged: "Daemon and the Sea Serpent will lead an army to harass Lys and Tyrosh. I will bring the Sea Serpent back, and you will assist him with all your strength."

Once Myr is defeated, Lys and Tyrosh will definitely stick together and will not be able to break through it in the short term.

As a base, unbreakable fortifications must be built on the Stone Step Islands.

Black dragon stone is easy to obtain, and the dragon dung and the stones on the island can be poured and built quickly.

Robb nodded and excused himself.

Rhaegar glanced at Aemond, who was bowing his head in silence, touched his head, and murmured to himself: "It's time to build a castle for Aegon."

 Bloodstone Island is Aegon's fiefdom, but there is no decent castle on the island, which is a joke.

Some people may be concerned about the territory of the Three Women Kingdom, so it would be better to nail Aegon to Bloodstone Island.

 …

 Braavos.

 Poseidon Palace, underground secret room.

  In the dim environment, several figures surrounded the high platform, and the shadows were hidden under the huge dragon bones.

　　Ferrego stood with his hands behind his hands, silently staring at the three dragon eggs in the straw nest.

 The surface of the dragon egg is covered with scales and has some old wear marks, as if it has accumulated over time.

 Fortunately, the eggshell is not hardened by stone and still retains the activity of hatching.

“Sea King, these three dragon eggs may not all hatch successfully.”

A middle-aged man wearing a bright red robe spoke.

 The man is tall, with a pair of light purple eyes, a shaved head, and an unusually handsome pale face.

Ferrege looked arrogant and scolded: "No matter what the cost, one of the three dragon eggs must be hatched!"

The red-robed man's eyes darkened slightly and he said: "Then a blood sacrifice is needed. Not only the dragon's relics, but also the blood of the true dragon."

 “Where to find it?” Ferrego asked in surprise.

　　The man in red robe shook his head: "I am proficient in a lost blood witchcraft. I just need to select three children with pure blood from the Valyrians you have prepared."

As he spoke, he glanced at the other people and pointedly said: "To pray for the dragon eggs to hatch, it is best to provide magic power. You have to pay more attention."

Felege's eyes narrowed and he glanced at the other people vaguely.

Shadowbinder wearing black robes and a green ghost mask.

 Wearing academic robes, an alchemist with a withered face.

Wearing a red robe, a red-robed priestess who believes in the God of Light.

Even, there is an old pyromancer who is nearly fifty years old and has silver hair.

The last Sea King of Braavos couldn't get the dragon eggs to hatch despite all his efforts.

He learned his lesson, paid a large sum of money to buy these beings who knew witchcraft, and worked together to discuss a perfect plan.
