Chapter 488
Iron Bank on behalf of Tycho rate fast ship convoy leaving Astapor third day.
New Ghis.
The blue sky is as clear as water, with three or five white clouds dotted in between.
"ahhhh, White Dragon, I see dragon. It's White Dragon, he's hiding in the clouds."
An ordinary clock tower a kilometer east of the Great Pyramid, a The Ghis soldier was pleasantly surprised to find the target, and his fearful guess came true, shouting excitedly to his companions.
After a while, General Ghis, who was standing upright in black and red, got the news and came quickly.
That is a tall and majestic man, with a majestic square-faced, thick thick eyebrows, and big eyes.
He pressed the Dragonslayer Blade around his waist with his left hand, walked like a dragon and stepped like a tiger, his steps were steady and powerful, and he possessed the demeanor of a famous general who had the power to control all human beings.
"Here comes the Allied cavalry Commander General Grazdan!" At the entrance of the tower, the Iron Legion guard loudly shouted.
Well, he is the uncompromising Yunkai's War God, Grazdan.
The tower tiles reveal a window through which the astronomical spectacles can extend their lenses.
On the clock tower, there is a telescope the size of a treadmill.
Three days ago, New Ghis received an alert from Tycho that the Dragon Queen was about to attack New Ghis.
After the Iron Legion's fleet escorts the Iron Bank's deposit ship out of port, the Dragon Queen's fleet will come in and take New Ghis.
New Ghis senior officials have no doubts about this: more than a month ago, not long after the stone men incident broke out in Astapor, the spies sent the news that "Devil's Tail Hattur was promoted to General of the Southern Expedition".
Zhengnan, which South?
Who's south of Slaver's Bay?
New Ghis!
It is clear that the Dragon Queen is going to attack New Ghis in retaliation for the Allied throwing stone men on Slaver's Bay.
Then New Ghis began to evacuate the residents, moving the citizens of the narrow port city to the neighboring Ghaen (New Ghis is less than five square kilometers, while Ghaen is a hundred kilometers).
As for the Great Pyramid...
There are no fools in this world.
New Ghis people broke out in a cold sweat after the news of Deathwing picking up "stars" and throwing them at Sealord's Palace.
For several days, Grazdan's hands were shaking while holding the Dragonslayer Blade: motherfucker, that's how the meteorite came from!
However, although the New Ghis people fled the Great Pyramid and began to work and live in the nearby unremarkable buildings, they never publicized the fact that Dragon Queen had raided New Ghis long ago.
The Dragonslayer Blade is still the Dragonslayer Blade, a good omen for the Allies.
"It sure is White Dragon!" Yunkai's War God sighed.
Under the guidance of the observer, Grazdan soon saw the White Dragon flickering among the white clouds.
The clouds are white, and the dragon is also silver white, which is easy to confuse.
"Sure enough, the Dragonmother is going to attack New Ghis. Get it in advance, you must explore it first, knowing the enemy and yourself will get you unscathed through a hundred battles! Familiar style, familiar taste."
Yunkai's War God's eyes are blurred, as if returning to the Yunkai battlefield where the smoke is full of gunpowder and the battle is in full swing.
Soon, he left the tower, summoned the Allied Commanders who stayed in New Ghis, and told everyone that dragon had begun to follow New Ghis.
"As you see it, do you want to bring the Tolos fleet back?" asked Navy Commander Sanady.
Sanady is the Captain of the Ghis Alliance that day.
His experience in fighting the Dragon Queen is as rich as that of Grazdan, besieging Astapor, leading troops to support Yunkai, transporting Meereen's Ghis yellow silk cloak to Yunkai, sending Yunkai Daxianjin dragon egg, in Yunkai The captain who led the escape of the Yunkai Wise Masters at the end of World War I.
Uh, it's also a lot of defeats and battles, and never compromises.
At this time, Sanady Commander's one third navy of the Allied Forces - the second fleet of the three major fleets of the Allied Forces, is tied with the God of War Grazdan in the New Ghis "Hope Double Star".
The two of them will surely lead a new hope and a new future for the Ghis nation - the hope of all Ghis clansman people.
"No, never!" Grazdan shouted sharply.
"Why?" Another Allied Navy Commander, Qarth Xaro, wondered.
Well, Dragon Queen's first "Queen's Wrath" landed on the outskirts of New Ghis and was forged into one blade one sword.
Dragonslayer Blade belongs to Grazdan, Morn Greatsword is controlled by Xaro.
"'Fighting a deadly battle and building a strong fortress' is the core combat ideology against Dragon Queen. Let her change and use thousands of ways, we just need to ignore it and keep our heads down."
p>
Jade Sea many generals dumbfounded.
"Lord Commander, are you... serious?"
The representative of the Isle of Elephants, who provided 5,000 elephant soldiers for the Allied Forces, suspects that oneself has misheard.
"Certainly, that's my experience."
Are's tough square-faced is full of determination and earnestness.
"No, you can't do nothing."
Tregar Ormollen pounded the table and said angrily: "Anyone with a little military common sense understands that New Ghis is in this war. Meaning - it's the shipping center for the entire Allied army!"
Tregar is a handsome man in his early thirties, with silver hair and blue eyes, typical of Valyria blood.
After the Dragon Queen set fire to the Lys "Multiplayer Sports Center" last time, a large number of Merchant Princes were burned to death, but Tregar succeeded in becoming the Commander of the "Three Sisters" Alliance fleet.
Well, Lynesse betrayed many noble Lys nobles in exchange for the Dragon Queen to spare her and her lover Tregar.
In fact, Lynesse was in New Ghis at this time, and she also succeeded in becoming Tregar's eldest wife.
"Prince Tregar, what are your thoughts?" Xaro asked.
Tregar flashed bright light in his eyes and said excitedly: "Since she knows she is going to attack New Ghis, why not beat somebody at their own game.
Dragon Queen wants to attack New Ghis, The Slaver's Bay fleet will definitely be brought out - otherwise her dragon will have nowhere to refill.
We can bring Tolos' First Fleet back, quietly hiding in the open sea, and looking for opportunities to intercept the Mother of Dragons The back of the fleet.
At this time, New Ghis has the second and third fleets. The three fleets add up to more than 300 armed warships.
Not to mention Dragon Slayer, at least he can set up an ambush, clean up the fleet in Slaver's Bay, and seize absolute sea dominance in this war!"
"We can better protect New Ghis by not moving." The God of War sighed .
The high-spirited Tregar reminds him of the oneself he used to be, and he is so passionate and full of wit.
But reality is so cruel, it teaches us to escape our naivety and forces us to mature.
"General Grazdan, listen to you oneself, what is this saying? Do nothing, why are we sitting here?" The representative of Isle of Elephants said dissatisfied.
"It's not that you don't do it, it's that you don't change the grand strategy." The God of War said in a complicated tone.
"Vote, since there are differences of opinion, let all colleagues of the Military Council vote together." Tregar suggested.
"oh!" The God of War sighed again, a sad look looming in his eyes.
Unsurprisingly, no one but his fellow Ghis believed in the ever-defeating "God of War".
In the afternoon, several Ravens carrying encrypted letters left New Ghis Island and flew to Tolos, more than a thousand kilometers away.
...
Dany didn't attack Tolos right away, Big Black went to Yi Ti and was on a business trip for at least a week.
Also, her strategic goal this time is not to win a city.
She wants to know the final killing move of the Allies!
So, the tactics of "Peng Yue scratching Chu" were adopted.
But she is not Peng Yue, but Xiang Yu.
Not only can "scratch Chu", but also "sweep Chu".
During this period of waiting, the merchant ships of Meereen, Yunkai and Astapor began to gather in Southern Peace.
They will go with the Dragon Queen to the next city-state to loot.
——New Ghis is the main logistical stronghold, and Tolos is the most important granary on the front line.
From Volantis to Mantarys (two thousand kilometers), the army's food is brought from Volantis; after reaching Mantarys, follow the Valyrian road all the way to Bhorash (one thousand kilometers), and reach the city of Meereen (another thousand kilometers) , the food is shipped by Tolos.
So, if the Dragon Queen really takes Tolos, she will be able to loot a lot of food and weapons.
So, the Allies will never allow her to take Tolos.
So, any killing move, 80% will be revealed in the battle of Tolos.
Dany is waiting for Big Black, waiting for the troops to gather.
At this time, Slaver's Bay has a total of three fleets, the first fleet, 10 galleon warships, 20 oars fast ships, led by Big Crab; the second fleet, 40 oars fast ships, the flagship is Euron's Red Shell "Silence", White Cloak Garth Hightower Commander.
The third fleet consists of the Blackbeard Groleo Commander, 100 fast ships and 400 cargo ships. Incomparably huge, but the quality is relatively complex, the smallest sea vessel has a load of 30 tons.
Probably, Big Crab led the heavy cavalry, Garth the light cavalry, and Groleo the militia and civic roles.
Every day after that, Dany would ride Little Green to Tolos, 200 kilometers away, to observe the enemy in the evening, after the sky darkened.
At night, even the most powerful astronomical glasses cannot capture the Green Dragon at an altitude of 200 meters.
It can be dark again, and the docks are always lit, so Dany can at least see the deployment of the other party's troops and the situation of the fleet branch.
Dany has changed into a military uniform again, originally thought war will not be an accident again.
But suddenly, five days after the Iron Bank deposit fleet left Astapor, she received an urgent summons from Dragonstone Archmaester Marwyn: Little Others had been kidnapped by traffickers.
Archmaester Perestan thought he knew the limits of the Old Partners, so he sent a letter to Randyll Tarly explaining in detail how Others and Sam took Others to Citadel. Archmaester dared not harm him again.
That's right, the Citadel Archmaester didn't dare to use the same methods he did with other people to make Sam disappear before reaching the Citadel.
But they could let the Others that Sam carried, couldn't reach the Citadel.
So, after Perestan told Citadel about Sam's itinerary, the Archmaesters made arrangements immediately.
Sam leaves the Wall in Night's Watch's ship for Braavos before Gerold Dayne leads 80 giant ships to Eastwatch.
one big and one small case for Others, Gilly and Mance Rayder's son, Sam and Wandering Crow Dareon, and a large bag of gold coins enough to hire a fast ship.
Jon also arranged for the seasoned Ulmer to accompany them, at least until Sam had safely boarded the ship to Oldtown before they returned to Wall.
According to the original plot, Old Maester Aemon would travel with them and delay in Braavos due to illness dragging his schedule.
Now that there is no Maester Aemon, and this mission is so important, the Night's Watch brother should immediately hire a fast ship for Sam.
Then Sam will set off soon, not even staying overnight in Braavos.
It was Citadel's mischief, and Night's Watch's flag was so obvious that as soon as they entered the pier, they were stared at.
