Game of Thrones: The Strongest Guoguang

Chapter 159 Under the Lemon Tree
The visitor was naturally Rhaenyla who was flying high in the sky, searching for traces of the fleet along the sea.

Her usual way of resting is to enter the green dreamland, and she can even fall asleep peacefully on the dragon saddle, and she will wake up immediately when there is any movement. Wander below, looking for signs of Daemon and the Westland Fleet.

Sure enough, the timing was just right.

Syracuse and Gray Shadow joined the battlefield, and the Dart family's ocean-going ship was set on fire first, and the soldiers on it jumped into the water like ants whose nest had been scorched, or put down the small ship to escape in a hurry.

"My lord, please paddle away, there are people over there to respond." Misai Dart happened to be on the ship that was ignited by the dragon fire, so the fleet soldiers hurried out to rescue.

Misai scrambled to pull the big rope that was lowered from another main ship, and the family soldiers on it pulled with all their strength, and Dart's bloated body made them exert their strength.

Misai Dart, who had climbed onto the ship, let out a long breath, but another main ship that was burning nearby came into his sight in a hurry.

"Fire! Fight the fire!" The ship was not brought by the strong wind, and Mi Sai only felt distressed.

"It can't be saved!" said the disheveled family member, "The fire is too strong, we will be burned as soon as we get close! Even if there is sea water nearby, it can't stop it..."

"Then what should we do?" No matter how slow Dart was, he understood the identity of this group of enemies, and they were the dragons of the Targaryen family.

"They should be the Lannister fleet coming from the sea of ​​the setting sun. We have encountered a hard stubble."

...The Dart family still hasn't stopped being burned by the dragon, and the sinking or burning ships one after another hurt Lord Misai's heart.

"Retreat, retreat quickly." Before Misai finished speaking, the Dorn crew, who had wanted to escape for a long time, had already changed direction, and quickly turned back along the way they came.

"It really comes and goes quickly." Damon sat on the bloodworm and laughed, "If only all Dornish people were like this!"

"After all, they are one of the territories closest to the trading city-state, and their income depends entirely on the maintenance of the fleet. The reason why the Dornishmen never retreat is because their land is barren, and it's okay to be burned by dragon fire.

But the Darts are different. "

Rhaenyra had already learned the origins of this group from the family banners hoisted by the enemy fleet.

The lemons evenly arranged on the purple background are the symbols of the Dart family. They are property knights under Martell, and they come from the lemon grove on the south side of the mouth of the Greenblood River.

Although it is only a knight family, its wealth is comparable to that of some big and small fief nobles.

Of course it is because of the fruit produced in the lemon grove!

Dorne produces many products and foods that are rarely found in other parts of the Seven Kingdoms, especially citrus fruits and Dorne's unique wine.Lemons, olives and pomegranates are also mainly grown in Dorne.

The price of lemons remains high in the Seven Kingdoms!Even more expensive in winter.

To give an example, Old Bear, the commander of the Night’s Watch in the original story, is very particular about his favorite mulled wine: cinnamon, cardamom, and honey are added in specific doses, no more, no less, and raisins are also added. , Nuts And Dried Berries.

But no lemon—because that was a luxury from the far south, so rare that Mr. Xiong only used it with his breakfast beer.

In fact, it's not that Xiong Lao doesn't like lemons, it's just that lemons are not easy to obtain in the north of Dorne, so the price is expensive.

There is another example, which is reflected in the POV of Alian in the sixth volume. The twelve-foot-high lemon cake almost used up all the lemons in the valley, and Petyr promised Sansa that he would continue to purchase from Dorne.

Rhaenila sat on the back of the dragon and looked at the verdant fruit forest. "Speaking of which, lemons are one of the must-have foods for sailors who go to sea. They can get rid of the disease of blood plague." That is, sepsis.

"Why, what's so special about this?" Damon Targaryen was puzzled, "You are a royal princess, lemon tea and cake can be eaten every day, and Targaryen is not short of money."

"Why don't you eat minced meat!" Rhaenila glanced at Uncle Wang angrily, "Forget it, you don't know what that means."

...

Misai Dart, who escaped, was very panicked. If the fleet was burned clean, their family's lemons would either rot in their hands, or be severely slashed by the trading city-state, and most of the profits would fall into the hands of the city-state.

So they are different from other Dornishmen!
Ordinary Dornishmen hide when dragons come, like the pirates in the crypts of Bloodstone Isle.

The Dart family can hide, but their fleet cannot hide, nor can the magnificent fruit forest in the lower reaches of the river.

"We can only pray that the dragon will fly back to the Stone Step Islands, and never come to the Lemon Grove." Don't bother them, Miseda is anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

When I arrived at the family castle, I was still out of my mind.

"What's the matter?" The old lady of the Dart family sat on the main seat and looked at her messy son.

"Mother!" Misai Dart, an adult, suddenly fell in front of the old woman, "No, it's okay, it's just a group of pirates making trouble at the door."

Mi Sai thought for a while and still didn't say it, which would make Jiabao's people confused and in an uproar.

However, Misai stood there in a daze in the next second, motionless. At the same time, there were ups and downs of screams in the clan castle...

That's because the dragon roared near the lemon grove, announcing their arrival!
"Squeezing!!" "Squealing!!"

The old lady of the Dart family, the delicate teacup in her hand fell to the ground, but there was no servant to comfort her at this moment.

"Giant dragon..." The old lady once heard from the elders in the clan that during the First Dorne War, Lemon Grove was captured by Rhaenys Targaryen.

And after the Dornishmen attacked Cape Wrath, her sister Visenya Targaryen unleashed Vaghar's dragonfire in the Lemon Grove.

That is the tragic history that made the family once devastated!

"Mother!" Misai Dart supported the old lady, "Don't worry, don't worry!"

How can there be no rush, the family castle has become a mess, the servants are trembling and want to escape, the family private soldiers are trembling with swords and arrows, this place is no longer calm, but the chaos before the disaster.

"Don't let the magic dragon burn our fruit trees!" The old lady's lips trembled, and she stood upright.

"Let's go, let's meet the Dragon King." The old lady firmly walked out of the clan castle step by step, holding Misai Dart's hand.

"Sigh!" The unknown fleet stayed at the mouth of the Green Fork River, and the huge figure of the magic dragon hovered above it.

"Three!" The old lady's palms turned white and she was sweating nervously.

"They're coming towards the woods..." Misai Dart swallowed the saliva in his mouth.

The figures of giant dragons covering the sky covered the sky of the family castle, but the flames in their mouths made the members of the Dart family feel their scalps go numb.

Even though the weather is so hot, it seems like a bucket of cold water has been poured on everyone.

"Surrender!" The old lady said resolutely, "Although the Dornish people would rather bend than bend, the sacrifice of the Dart family is meaningless to Martell. We are just a family of knights and must protect ourselves."

The old lady held Misai Dart's hand tightly, for fear that he would make any unwise decision.

"Yes, mother." Misai's words let the old lady breathe a sigh of relief
Soon, the servants in the family who hadn't escaped brought a white cloth and waved it in front of the clan castle.

"Hey, we want to surrender, but the Dragon King doesn't allow it, so what should we do?" The old lady thought sadly, but she was still worried.
