The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 109 The Stag Attacks Myr

Myr, one of the nine free trade cities, is considered the most advanced free city and is world-famous for its art and scholarship.

It is located on the west coast of the Essos continent and is protected by a huge and calm bay. This bay is the Myr Sea. It is also a famous and rich fishing ground in Essos. The collision of multiple ocean currents here produces a lot of food. This also allows a large number of fish to gather here all year round.

As the name suggests, this ocean is also monopolized by the Myrs. Only Myr fishing grounds can fish here. Ships from other city-states will be mercilessly sunk when they come here - especially if someone tries and is killed by the Myrs. After the Myers mercilessly sunk it, no one dared to offend Myr's maritime borders.

As a free trade city-state famous for its academics, the Myr fleet is equipped with Myr ballistae. The range and accuracy of this kind of ballistae are far superior to ordinary ballistae, and this is what the Myr people use to defend the sea. Important weapons, countless fishermen, smugglers and pirates were sunk by Myr's ballistae.

The residents of the Nutroth Peninsula in the north once went to the sea to fish, hoping to make a living from it, but the Myr fleet ruthlessly swept through the waters of the peninsula and burned all the settlements they could find. From then on, no one dared to Settlements were established along the coast.

Myr controls this wealthy fishing ground so domineeringly that even Tyrosh and Lys, both of the Three Daughters Kingdoms, have no guts to launch their fleets into it.

But now, an extremely large fleet sailed into the Myr Sea. Even from the sky, the fleet could not see the edge. Countless sails and flags formed a colorful ocean.

There are many warships with three hundred oars in this fleet. Busy sailors and fully armed soldiers can be seen everywhere on each warship. At this time, there is a strong wind on the sea, and everyone on the ship is even busier, and Inside the cabin, the soldiers and servants there were either vomiting or enduring their inner discomfort.

"Hahaha, Stannis, did you see it? Those cheese sellers just ran away in front of us with their butts between their legs, without any courage to fight us."

It has to be said that this scene is very ironic. Hundreds of years have passed since the collapse of the Three Cities Alliance. Myr, Lys and Tyrosh were arguing endlessly to rebuild it, and wars continued. As a result, the pressure from Westeros swept over, The three feuding daughters thus united.

Therefore, after Robert decided to march eastward, the fleets of the Third Daughter Kingdom immediately gathered on the Stepstone Islands, preparing for a tug-of-war with the forces of Westeros in this broken archipelago.

Stannis was as rigid as ever. Even on a stormy sea, he was dressed meticulously, as if he was going to attend some grand banquet.

Stannis's brows did not relax because of Robert's words, but instead became more frowning. Robert's optimistic attitude made Stannis very puzzled. It was clear that the next battle was dangerous and dangerous, why? Can his mentality be so relaxed?
The Kingdom of the Three Daughters has not thought about the possibility of Robert's army landing in Pentos and then moving south, so they deployed their army on the original border between Myr and Pentos, which is the Burning Land.

Facing Stannis's words, Robert's tone contained only confidence, which made the king's brother a little angry. This kind of self-confidence, which was all taken for granted, seemed unreasonable to him - but Stannis also noticed that, His own emotions were also mixed with jealousy.

"Robert, you did this by surprise, but have you ever thought about what will happen if we fail? The army of the Third Daughter Kingdom is gathering in the Burning Land. When they heard the news from Myr, they They will go south immediately, and the combined strength of those troops is no less than ours."

The Three Cities Alliance at its peak once faced the Dragon Dynasty at its peak. This rebuilding of the Alliance was also to boost the morale of the people of the Three Daughters Kingdom - the fall of Pentos brought very bad consequences to the entire Free Trade City. The rulers of the Free Trade City now need to resolve this influence.

Although Robert's words made Stannis frown like an old woman, the always serious Duke must admit that Robert once indeed took a step that no one expected.

In the traditional conflict between Westeros and Essos, the Stepstone Islands, as a natural passage for communication, are naturally a top priority.

The Stepped Islands have always been an important hub for travel between the two continents. This broken archipelago is so suitable for trade and transportation that all parties have not given up the fight for this place. The Three Daughters Kingdom has been arguing over this. , the non-stop war has also caused the breeding of pirates like crucian carp crossing the river. No matter how much encirclement and suppression is done, the pirates cannot be wiped out.

Stannis envied Robert's self-confidence and was a little jealous. He could not have such self-confidence and could only use self-discipline and strictness to strengthen himself. However, when facing Robert, Stannis would feel that his strictness was useless. Like a joke.

On the Lady Lyanna, His Majesty King Robert Baratheon of Westeros was laughing at the collapse of the Easterners, but his brother, Stannis, still had a straight face.

While gathering troops, the Kingdom of the Three Daughters announced that it had reestablished the Three Cities Alliance. Although they were confident of defending their territory, the pressure from Westeros was still huge, so the rebuilding of the Three Cities Alliance was very necessary.

The Kingdom of the Three Daughters did have a good idea and took good measures, but one thing they did not expect was that Robert was an unconventional person. He chose not to go to the Stepstone Islands at all, nor to wait for the Reach. Arriving with the fleet from the Western Territory, he directly led the forces from the Northern Territory, Valley, King's Territory, Stormland and River to cross the sea.

"It's just a battle. These weak Easterners will surely bow under my war hammer. The army composed of cheese sellers and mercenaries has no fighting power at all and will definitely be defeated by the knight's lance."

"Stannis, don't always put on your bitter face. No girl likes to see that. Besides, you don't have to worry so much. These cheesemongers definitely don't think that we will choose to go straight to Myr, their fleet." They must still be waiting for us stupidly on the Stone Steps Islands. Ha, I really want to see the faces of these idiots when they realize the true resemblance."

In this regard, they were completely confident that they would drag Robert to death on the islands. In the hundreds of years of war, each island in the Stepstone Islands has been highly fortified - it is precisely because of the existence of these fortresses that the Stepstone Islands are The chaos lasted for only that long.

"They brought back the news of our arrival. Your Majesty, if possible, I would rather sink or capture these ships."

Stannis couldn't accept Robert's attitude. Just when he was about to continue talking to Robert, a sharp voice came from the mast.

"Land, land, we're here! We're in Essos."

"Essos, here I come!" Robert said happily at the sound, and then he immediately ran to the bow of the ship, wanting to see what Essos looked like and what the land he had conquered looked like. .

Landing is not an easy task. It requires the mobilization of a large number of personnel and materials, as well as the coordination of countless ships.

As the de facto manager of this huge fleet, Stannis was naturally able to withstand this heavy burden. The Duke of Dragonstone was busy running around the entire beach. He was like a low-level official, busy when he was busy. Things were over, but with his efforts, everything finally became orderly.

However, even though Stannis has made such a contribution, he is still very disliked by many people. After all, it is really inappropriate for him to be caught up in these mundane things like those "lower people". And he yelled at himself.

Stannis is used to this. Anyway, as long as he looks at these gossips with stern eyes, they will consciously look away and disappear from him. Stannis never cares what these people think of him. He does his best. Just take your own responsibility.

However, thinking of responsibility, Stannis became angry again. Damn it, Robert, you took people inland as soon as you landed. Are you not afraid of being attacked at all?
Moreover, Robert's burden on him was too heavy. He not only had to organize the landing, but also had to stop these nobles from running around. Robert would not allow others to do their own thing, and the army could not just disperse like this.

In this regard, Stannis could only grit his teeth. Who made him Robert's brother? These are all his responsibilities... Fortunately, he was actually controlling the fleet along the way, and Duke Eddard and Howl Duke Sturt was willing to obey his instructions.

When Stannis landed in the Horde, King Robert was galloping in the plains of Myr. The plains of Myr were an extremely wealthy land. It was not directly under the threat of the Dothraki like the plains. Flat land is much more stable, and the location is further south, with a warmer climate.

The Myr Plains are so important to Mir that they actively participate in the war in the disputed land. Their precious plains need a vast buffer zone.

At this moment, in front of Robert, there is an endless vast field, with countless wheat ears hanging slightly, and when the breeze blows, the wheat waves continue to roll. This scene is quite magnificent for the people of Westeros.

To be honest, Robert was dumbfounded by this. Even in the river bend, he had never seen such a magnificent field. After the shock, what appeared in Robert's heart was ecstasy. He was so excited about coming to a new world. Ecstasy, the ecstasy of conquering a new world.

Robert was extremely happy about his choice of expedition at this moment. This is the world he wants, this is the life he really wants to live, not to indulge himself day by day in wine and women, but to sweat on the battlefield. With blood, sleeping in the desolate wilderness with the soldiers, conquering fortresses and cities.

"Your Majesty the King, are we going to attack the slave manor in front?" someone in Robert's entourage asked. They were about to move, but still waiting for the king's order.

"No, let's retreat first." Robert gave them a mischievous smile. This was something no one expected. His Majesty the King actually said to retreat?

.

Next, Robert returned to the coast, while Stannis successfully completed the mission of the king brother, completed the landing with painstaking efforts, and restrained them in place. Stannis felt that he was so busy that he was about to fall apart.

He was now thinking about how troublesome it would be to get this army to move, but then, a scene that dealt him a major blow appeared. Robert convened a meeting where all nobles and soldiers had the power to participate.

At the meeting, Robert and the soldiers recalled the past and showed the future. Then, under Robert's order, the army moved and rushed towards the Mill Plains.

In this way, Robert relied on his words and charisma to move the army that Stannis thought would be fatal. Looking at this scene, Stannis didn't know what to say. In the end, everything came to an end. For a sigh, Robert was Robert, and he was him.

Under Robert's order, the Westerosi army crossing the sea spread out in an orderly manner on the plains of Myr. They had already heard a lot about what they needed to do next in their poems.

The plains of Myr are mainly distributed with a large number of intensive farms, which are different from slave manors like Pentos, because these farms are under the high control of the Privy Council of Myr, and their scale is larger than that of slave manors. Much larger, the huge amount of food produced by these farms makes Myr more prosperous day by day.

But this also means that if a farm is broken, the attackers can obtain a lot of materials and manpower. Although there are many guards on these farms, the guards who have been nesting in the Mill Plains for a long time have long been dead.

In this way, as one farm after another was broken, countless slaves were liberated, and the post-landing supply problem that troubled Stannis was quickly solved.

News always travels faster than a horse, and often the news arrives before the people of Westeros arrive, and then the slaves revolt, killing the overseers and their guards.

The plains of Mir are like a fire burning. News from the north has made this area ready to be ignited at any time, and now the fire is completely burning.

For many people in Westeros, this is an unprecedented experience. In their eyes, war once meant them bringing fire and swords, bringing disaster to the villages, and then fighting the enemy to the death on the battlefield. , this feeling of receiving countless cheers and support in the war is really great.

When the people of Westeros were massacred in all directions, the Kingdom of the Three Daughters naturally realized the fact that the enemy had crossed the Narrow Sea. This caught the current Three Cities Alliance by surprise and directly mobilized its forces. It took a long time to finally succeed. Order the armies of the Burnt Lands to move south.

However, what they didn't expect was that Robert Baratheon had already gone to find their army first...
