Chapter 394
Braavos is made up of hundreds of small islands, surrounded by a group of walled ring islands, which firmly protect the lagoon, except for the narrow mouth of Titan.
This ring of craters shelters the Braavos from storms and tsunamis from the Narrow Sea to the west and the Shivering Sea to the north.
At this time, it was also the ship of the Dragon Queen, blocking the view from the Braavos fleet.
There is no moon tonight. Under the dark night, a 30-meter-long flat-bottomed cargo ship, very quiet, is parked in the northeast of the crater island, separated from Sealord's Palace by a tens of meters of rugged hills and mountains. A lagoon seven or eight kilometers wide.
This place is not remote, and the ships heading for East Ib take this route more.
But very few ships stop here.
"Come on." Dany stood on the bow, his eyes seemed to penetrate the mountains to see Sealord's Palace in the distance.
"At this time of the night, Sealord's Palace has only some government officials, and the guards and Archmaester's family are scattered all over Braavos, and it will not be too traumatized." Gerold Dayne said.
For the past three or four hours, his hair and underwear have been dried by the charcoal fire rising from the deck.
"I'm just imposing fear, no two dragons can destroy Braavos, no matter what." Dany sighed.
"Are the Braavos people afraid and give in?"
"There will be fear, but 80% of them won't give in. Long Night nears, a short period of surrender is enough."
Gerold purple pupil shrink , hesitantly said: "The Braavos people think that the Others are not directly related to Long Night."
"Yes, the Others have existed for an unknown number of years, and even they have been there The Lands of Always Winter, never really disappeared. But this time it's different, the dragons are hatched by me, the Others go south to the Wall, it's a omen, a harbinger of a big change in the world.
And I'm personally in touch with the Others However, they are examining the strength of me and dragon, just like knowing the enemy's intelligence before the war. There is no doubt that this winter will not end easily, it is Long Night."
Gerold sturdy and powerful square jaw muscles Slowly relax, seemingly powerless to accept this cruel reality.
After a while, he said dryly: "Next, what should I do?"
"When Braavos is beaten by me, you will take the fleet to Eastwatch to pick up Wildlings... ...here, see?" Dany stretched out his right hand, pointing to a dim red light spot in the dark sky.
"That...is a shooting star?"
...
"Ahhhh - "The cat is sleepless and throws down the blanket , standing on the bow of the wooden boat, jumping and jumping, shouting excitedly, "Meteor, a meteor has fallen to the pier, hurry up!"
"What flow—" Brusco was moving towards the nearby The fishermen complained when the treasurer paid the promised ten Silver Honors before he could go home.
Seeing the cat stomping the boat up and down, he couldn't help but get angry.
But when he looked up, he also saw the meteor that was getting brighter and brighter.
Red bright, like a Red Sword, piercing the sky, like a thunder, like heavenly punishment!
"Boom-" Gradually, without the cat yelling to remind, there was a thunder bombing sound above the pier, everyone looked up, everyone was shocked, everyone went crazy flee.
"Meteorite, a meteorite is flying over!" Thousands of people shouted in fear, but they still couldn't suppress the meteorite... The sound of the falling meteorite was like a tornado in the ears. .
"Ahhhh, meteorite, smash at Sealord's Palace—" the cat screamed in horror with a contorted face.
But by the end, the cry could not even be heard by her oneself.
The sky quickly flashed a fiery red, and then there was a loud voice, the sky, the earth, the sea, and the wooden boat were shaking violently, but no sound could be heard anymore.
In other words, the ears were filled with huge explosions and could no longer accommodate other sounds.
"BOOOOM!!!"
The majestic Sealord's Palace made of marble, like fresh cow dung hit by stones, sturdy when the bright red giant meteorite fell The stone walls were unobstructed, and large shattered stones were scattered.
Visible to the naked eye, the tall rock stone palace that once overlooked Purple Harbor burst open in red light and smoke, the stone dome and walls burst, the stone foundation burst, and the rocks were like a torrential rain to all. directions smashed.
The boulder is as big as a carriage, as big as a millstone, as big as a human head, but smaller than a fist...
The edge of the square was also affected, and the one closest to the palace Within 30 to 50 meters, there were few people standing, mourning everywhere, and corpses lying on the ground.
One minute passed before the cat regained her hearing again. Looking at the Sealord Hall, which had almost completely disappeared, she looked sluggish and could hardly believe it.
The 20-meter-high circular dome building is built on a hill ten meters higher than the pier. It covers an area of more than 400 square meters and is made of white marble. It faces north and faces Purple Harbor. pier.
This is where Sealord meets.
Now the palace to the east has completely disappeared, leaving a steaming crater of unknown depth, and the remaining walls to the west have collapsed radially outwards.
"Gods, is this the punishment of Spiritual God, the meteor just fell on Sealord's hall?" Brusco knelt on the bow, holding head wailing.
"Punishment..." The cat repeatedly chewed the word in his mouth, suddenly his gray eyes bulged, his body shivered, his horse's face was pale and pale, and he lost his voice: " Demon Dragon, this is Demon Dragon's punishment, Deathwing plucked a star from the sky and threw it on Sealord's Palace."
"Demon Dragon?" "No Demon Dragon."
Well, Demon Dragon doesn't fly as fast as Meteorite.
Big Black is still on its way to the acting cool scene.
Gerold Dayne arrived at Braavos on the day Dany took Dragonstone. He did not immediately go to Sealord's Palace to see Sealord, but did three things in advance as Dany requested.
First, choose a safe negotiation point, a hotel or hotel near the river or the sea; second, renovate the hotel and build a secret that can quickly lead to the bottom of the river passage; third, hire a ship from Dorne and buy a batch of supplies.
A number of round-headed iron pillars of about 500 catties and a barrel of kerosene of 100 catties were transported by cargo ships to the open sea of Braavos.
As the world's first Free Cities, Braavos Commercial Street can easily provide the above goods.
These arrangements are just prepared, if Braavos are willing to negotiate obediently and honestly, then she will not take the initiative to provoke conflict, if...
It turns out that human nature Really can't stand the test.
Dany even truly admired Xiang Yu for the first time.
How many formidable person overlords, politicians and powerful people can abide by the rules and maintain their honor when facing the "Liu Bang" who enters oneself's territory?
As for the coup d'état by Gebanys, sorry, she's not stupid, and she doesn't have the "Blood of Madness", this kind of trick doesn't work for her at all.
——With or without the acquiescence of Iron Bank and officials in Gebanys' coup d'etat, Braavos shot her, it's a fact.
But Dany does feel sorry for Sealord Ferrego and First Sword Qarro.
The two were definitely innocent, they kept their oath and fulfilled their obligations as masters to the guests.
It's a pity that politics is so dirty, no matter how noble the character, no matter how great the glory, encounters politics, it will be defiled.
All she can do is keep the "Meteor Falls" as far away from Sealord's bedroom as possible and away from Ferrego's family.
......
After being blocked by the fishing net, Big Black and Little White then went to the cargo ship at Shivering Sea, Little White put Gerold on deck, Big Black was With the cooperation of Sailor Dorne, he grabbed the chain at the end of the iron pillar and began the second act of the copycat version of Meteorite.
Well, the first act, dedicated to the New Ghis people, failed.
Big Black circled into the sky, flew for more than an hour, and stopped at an altitude of about 35 kilometers above the ground.
This time, there is no Dany as the coordinates for Big Black, but under the 2nd layer Dreki, Big Black and Little White are inductive, Little White locks on the target and dives vertically. At the same time, Big Black is holding a round head iron The column accelerates into a dive.
Big Black - Little White - Menagerie of Sealord, all three on the same line.
Theoretically, the round-headed iron pillar should fall in the Menagerie, killing thousands of exotic animals that Sealord collected from all over the world.
Results...
It was much better than last time at New Ghis, the iron pillar was not broken, and it was only less than 100 meters away from the target. On the east side of the hall of the court.
As soon as the round-headed iron pillar was dropped, Big Black began to hover and dive down, and it took more than a quarter of an hour to reappear over Purple Harbor.
At this time, it has been a while since the "Meteorite", and the Braavos people have come back to his senses from the shock, some people are busy rescuing the injured, and some people enter the crater more than ten meters deep to check , Some people stood in the square and wailed for the families of the victims.
More people left the Cursed Land by boat immediately after came back to his senses.
Then, a familiar horror sounded in the sky.
"This is the Dragon God Forbidden Spell... a meteorite falling from the sky!"
"I picked up the star with my left hand, put my right hand down, and when I put my palms together, Heaven and Earth trembles in my palm!"
"I am the Lightbringer, I am the Herald of Justice, I am the Prophet of Fate, and I am the Deathwing. It is not my intention to bring death and fear. But to make the world more To be clean and holy must be cleansed of filth and corruption."
"oathbreaker, this is just the beginning! Tremble, cry, wailing, repent in pain!"
Big The Black megaphone goes live, and Dany uses his loud voice to rant...well, sowing fear and despair on the heads of the Braavos below.
Then he roared and ran away.
But this time nobody really thinks Demon Dragon is gone.
"Demon Dragon went to the sky to get the stars again!" Everyone screamed in fear as they fled Purple Harbor in a panic.
Sealord's Palace was not affected by the meteorite, and there were also a large number of maids, guards, and officials flocking to the old Sealord's family to flee to the canal, and take a boat to leave the island that was targeted by Demon Dragon.
They were wrong.
The second meteor did fall two hours later, but it didn't land on the deserted Sealord's Palace.
Dany's second target is Arsenal.
Located on the reef at the entrance to the Great Lagoon, the island juts out like a fist in the water.
Although it is small, it is the station of Braavos city fleet and the shipbuilding center of Braavos.
To be honest, the second "meteorite fell from the sky" was far less shocking than the first. It landed at a shipyard and smashed a crater seven or eight meters deep.
A dozen boatmen on duty at night died, and two docks and several ships under construction were destroyed.
But the fear that brings Braavos people is no weaker than the first one.
Death to a hundred Sealords can't shake Braavos' dominance in Free City, but Arsenal is destroyed...
Even if the ships and boatmen leave the port immediately, Braavos The shipbuilding industry will also suffer irreversibly.
