Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord - Chapter 235
Three days later, the sun shone on the sparkling sea, and the breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of salty and bitter smell.
Gavin personally sent Tyrion to the warship bound for the Bay of Dragons.
Then he rode the Blazing Shadow to fly towards Myr, and Balerion followed closely. The huge bodies of the two dragons passed through the air and soon disappeared from the sight of everyone in Lys.
The latest raven brought the news that Daenerys and Hassan were besieging Myr.
Although Myr had lost the Golden Group, it was still difficult to take it down with its strong city defense.
Facing the threat of the dragon hunting crossbow, Viserion could not even get close to the city wall.
In desperation, Hassan could only choose to besiege.
After flying over the disputed land for a long time, Gavin took advantage of the air advantage to observe the disputed land.
This land has experienced the looting of the Dothraki and is now desolate and desolate.
Many villages are vacant, with only broken walls and ruins left, as if telling of the suffering they once had.
Except for some important towns with complete city defenses, most areas appear to be in ruins.
Due to years of war and strife, this land has not been fully developed, and the cultivated land accounts for less than one-third of the total area. Even so, the food produced here feeds four city-states, which shows its great potential.
Gavin in the air kept thinking about how to use this land after seizing it.
He imagined reclaiming more cultivated land to make it a rich granary; building a solid defense system to ensure the safety of this land; developing commercial trade to make the disputed land an important hub connecting the East and the West.
Not long after, the city of Mir gradually came into view. At this moment, this ancient city-state was completely besieged, and dense tents stood outside the city, like a white ocean.
There were countless warships on the sea, and the sails were fluttering in the wind, as if showing the upcoming victory.
“Hiss!” As Gavin approached, a red figure suddenly flew out of the military camp. It was Viserion.
It seemed to feel the breath of the blazing shadow and flew out excitedly to greet it.
Blazing Shadow roared in response, shaking the world, as if telling Viserion the joy of reunion.
Balerion accelerated, curiously circling Viserion, his huge body drawing graceful arcs in the air.
The dragon roar resounded through the sky, and the soldiers in the barracks looked up.
When they saw the huge golden figure in the sky, they shouted, their voices full of excitement and awe.
They knew that with the joining of His Majesty’s dragon, the victory of this battle would belong to them.
On the other hand, the defenders on Myr City were like bereaved. They were pale and their eyes were full of despair. Facing such a powerful enemy, they knew that their fate was doomed.
The three dragons flew towards the open space in the middle of the barracks and landed steadily in it.
As soon as Gavin jumped off the dragon’s back, he saw Daenerys running towards him.
Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and her eyes were full of joy and excitement.
The two hugged each other. For Daenerys, this period of separation seemed like a long time. She hugged Gavin tightly, feeling his warmth and strength, and her heart was full of security.
“Gavin, you are back? What’s the matter with this dragon?” Daenerys looked at Balerion and asked curiously.
“It’s Balerion.” Then, Gavin slowly told his experience during this period.
His words unfolded like a scroll, depicting the thrills in the ruins of Valyria.
“Your Majesty, welcome back, the Stepstones fleet is at your command.” Hassan’s voice suddenly sounded, breaking the brief silence. Gavin turned around and looked at his most trusted subordinate. He smiled slightly, stepped forward and hugged him, saying, “Well done, Hassan. What’s the situation in Myr now?”
Hassan lowered his head slightly, thought for a while and said, “Your Majesty, we have completely controlled the sea and the port, and cut off all Myr’s external channels. We have contacted a governor who is willing to surrender before, but there is news that he was executed by the Governor’s Council, and then it fell into a stalemate.”
After hearing this, Gavin nodded slightly and asked, “Can the soldiers attack the city now?”
“Your Majesty, all the siege equipment has been made, but we are worried about too many casualties and have not taken action.” Hassan straightened up and answered respectfully.
“Then prepare to attack the city now. The Second Legion and the Unsullied Legion have set out from the Bay of Dragons and are marching towards Volantis. I want to quickly deal with Myr and join them.” Gavin said without hesitation.
“As you command, Your Majesty.” Hassan took the order and left, his voice firm and decisive, as if carrying endless power.
Gavin took Daenerys’s hand, his eyes full of tenderness. He said, “After we take over Volantis, I will take back the Iron Throne for you and then build an empire spanning two continents.”
“You are far better than Aegon the Conqueror, Gavin.” Daenerys leaned her head on Gavin’s arms, her voice soft and trusting, and then she seemed to remember something and looked up and said, “There is news that Illyrio took a ship to Slaver’s Bay some time ago, and then the Golden Group left Myr.”
Gavin was stunned after hearing this. He understood that Illyrio was probably buried in the belly of the fish, and said, “I didn’t see him in the Bay of Dragons. I think he probably encountered a sea monster. But the Golden Group did come to Meereen. I did meet your father’s former Prime Minister Jon Krington and the fake Aegon. Although I don’t know what their plans are, I have executed them all.”
Daenerys nodded and was about to say something when an exciting horn sounded from the barracks. The horn sounded like a call to battle, resounding throughout the camp. With the sound of the horn, countless soldiers began to gather, and their figures quickly shuttled through the barracks, ready for the upcoming battle.
Gavin looked at Daenerys and said, “You are not allowed to get close to the city wall unless I destroy all the dragon hunting crossbows.”
Daenerys opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but seeing Gavin’s serious eyes, she finally said “um”.
Gavin gently rubbed her head and turned to walk towards Chiying. The tall figure looked particularly firm under the sunlight.
It didn’t take long from Gavin’s appearance to the start of the siege. The Myr defenders, who were still immersed in fear, had just reported the situation to the Governor’s Council, and even at this moment many governors had not yet arrived at the council hall. This ancient city is about to usher in a battle that will determine its fate.
Gavin jumped onto Chiying’s back lightly. The huge golden dragon seemed to sense the battle that its master was about to start. It raised its head slightly and roared. This roar was like a battle horn, majestic and passionate, echoing between heaven and earth. The other two dragons also roared excitedly, and their roars intertwined to form a powerful sound wave, as if to shake the whole world.
Accompanied by the huge gusts of wind brought by takeoff, the three dragons have already flown into the air.
Below, countless soldiers have quickly assembled. They are wearing solid armor, holding sharp weapons, and the flames of battle are burning in their eyes. It is a firm belief and confidence in victory, as if no force can stop their pace.
Hassan stood at the forefront of the team, holding the long sword in his hand high, and the long sword shines brightly in the sun, as if it is a symbol of victory.
He shouted loudly: “Soldiers, the king has come here in person to lead us to supreme honor and victory! For His Majesty! For victory! Attack!” The soldiers responded in unison, and the sound was like thunder, echoing in the air.
Gavin rode on the back of Blazing Shadow and slowly rose into the sky. Balerion and Viserion followed closely behind, and three dragons circled in the air, like three invincible gods of war.
Their figures covered the sky and brought great pressure to the Myr defenders. Seeing this scene, the defenders on the Myr wall felt more and more fearful. Especially when they saw the huge Blazing Shadow, their hearts were full of worries, wondering whether their dragon hunting crossbows could withstand the attack of this behemoth.
Gavin looked down at the city of Myr, and this ancient city seemed so small at the moment. He could see the panicked expressions of the defenders on the city wall, and their eyes were full of fear and despair. He could see the fearful eyes of the people in the city, who trembled under the pressure of the dragon, as if waiting for the judgment of fate.
Gavin gently patted Blazing Shadow’s back, and Blazing Shadow immediately understood what his master meant. It flapped its huge wings and flew towards the wall of Myr City. Balerion and Viserion did not follow, but still hovered in the air, forming a strong pressure.
When the dragon approached the wall, the dragon hunting crossbows on the wall fired one after another, and the crossbow arrows shot at Blazing Shadow like raindrops, trying to stop it from approaching.
But their efforts were in vain. Although Blazing Shadow was huge, it was very flexible. It hovered and rolled in the air, avoiding the attack of crossbow arrows. The crossbow arrows that could not be avoided were forcibly taken by it with the dragon scales on its chest. The hard dragon scales seemed to be an indestructible shield, which bounced the crossbow arrows one after another. In just a moment, Blazing Shadow flew to the top of the city.
“Dracarys!” Gavin gave an order, and Blazing Shadow opened his mouth and spewed out a hot dragon flame.
The dragon flame was like a huge fire snake, instantly devouring everything on the wall. The flames burned fiercely, burning the defenders, defense facilities and all obstacles on the city wall to ashes.
Then, Chiying continued to fly, and the dragon flame in his mouth continued to plow the entire city wall. The defenders on the city wall fell down screaming under the attack of the dragon flame. Their armor and weapons melted instantly under the high temperature of the dragon flame, and their bodies were burned to ashes. Defensive facilities such as catapults and dragon hunting crossbows were also destroyed.
After just one circle, the defense facilities on the city wall had been completely destroyed.
Gavin ordered Chiying to spray a section of the city wall with dragon flames. Seeing this, Balerion and Viserion were not to be outdone, and they all sprayed dragon flames. The dragon flames of the three dragons plus the powerful impact force caused the city wall to begin to crack and collapse. The huge impact force was like an earthquake, causing the city wall to tremble violently. In just a moment, this section of the city wall collapsed completely, raising a cloud of dust.
Gavin immediately ordered Blazing Shadow to fly into the city, followed by Balerion and Viserion. The three dragons formed an unstoppable momentum in the air. When the dragons flew into the city, the residents in the city fled in fear. Facing these three dragons, they had no ability to resist. Gavin did not let the dragons attack the residents, he just let them hover in the city, creating a strong pressure.
Outside the city, Hassan saw that the city wall had been destroyed and immediately ordered the soldiers to charge. The soldiers rushed to Myr City like a tide, and their shouts were deafening. The surviving defenders on the wall had lost the will to resist under the attack of the dragons. Without any resistance, they laid down their weapons and surrendered to the soldiers.
The soldiers rushed into the city quickly and occupied various important locations. They seized the weapons of the defenders and controlled nearly half of the streets in Myr.
Hassan led an army to rush to the council hall quickly. Without encountering any resistance, they surrounded the council hall.
After experiencing chaos, Myr City gradually returned to peace until the evening.
Gavin rode on the back of Chiying, looking at the scene in the city, his heart full of emotion.
In the Governor’s Council Hall in the city, the officials and governors were in despair at this moment.
They knew that their fate was doomed when the council hall was surrounded.
Gavin took Daenerys and Hassan into the council hall.
When the governors saw Gavin and Daenerys, they bowed their heads and expressed their submission.
Gavin looked at these governors without any mercy in his heart. He knew that these people were once their enemies. But now, they have no choice.
Gavin sat in the main seat of the council hall, and Daenerys sat beside him. Hassan stood behind them, holding a long sword in his hand, looking at the governors around him vigilantly.
“You once chose to be my enemy. Do you have anything to say now?” Gavin’s voice was cold and majestic.
The governors looked at each other, and no one dared to speak. They knew that any resistance at this moment would be futile.
“I can give you a chance. As long as you are willing to kneel, I can spare his life. But if you continue to resist, I will not hesitate to execute you.” Gavin’s eyes were full of murderous intent.
The governors hesitated for a moment, and finally expressed their willingness to surrender. At this time, saving their lives is the most important thing.
Gavin looked at these governors, and there was no joy in his heart. He knew that these people only chose to surrender under the circumstances, and they might still have the idea of resistance in their hearts. But he didn’t care, because he had enough power to control these people.
“From now on, Mill City will become my territory. You serve me. If there is any disloyalty, I will not hesitate to execute you.” Gavin’s voice was cold and majestic.
The governors nodded one after another, indicating their willingness to obey. At this time, they had no choice.
