Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web.

Night had completely fallen. Beyond the glow of the fleet was only thick darkness, bottomless and profound.

There was no need to wait for an answer anymore.

Joffrey stretched languidly, embracing Lady Desmera of House Redwyne as he returned to his cabin.

Knowing his true identity as the "Dragonborn Knight" had only made the naive girl more enthusiastic, worthy of careful appreciation.

Theon respectfully watched the King depart, then turned back towards the battlefield.

He knew that King Joffrey's departure did not signify a mid-game break, but rather the true beginning, the final hunt.

Ding~

The signal on the light screen was so timely and clear that everyone could understand the change in the situation.

No more orders were needed.

The massive fleet was already in full motion.

Quickly.

Hundreds of warships formed six concentric ring formations, three layers inside and three layers outside, circling around like a great whirlpool on the sea.

This was not just for show.

Theon's attention remained focused on the combat map on the light screen. The latest and most critical information could always be seen there.

The deep blue background had not changed.

But now, the center of a large cluster of white arrows was a constantly pulsating black sea monster icon, with no direction indicated.

This was reasonable.

The sea monster underwater was naturally much more agile than the ships on the surface. Even if its head was facing you, it wouldn't prevent it from darting up, down, left, or right in the next instant, or even spraying water at you and moving away.

The reality was such. Sea monsters in the ocean indeed had unparalleled natural advantages.

Legendary sea monsters were always terrifying beasts.

The ships floating on the sea were nothing more than stationary targets to it, at its mercy.

It could launch surprise attacks from the bottom of the ship;

Suddenly appear from the front, back, left, or right of the ship, dragging the entire vessel straight into the seabed, drowning everyone on board, and adding the ship to its "treasure trove";

Or leisurely play a hunting game, gleefully teasing the weak humans until they died in despair.

If the ships were too dangerous, possessing weapons that could pose a threat to the sea monster, it could also disregard everything, dive into the deep sea to hibernate or move away, leaving the ships on the sea to wander around unwillingly for some days, only to retreat in frustration in the end.

Euron, my uncle, probably thought the same way.

Relying on the deep sea.

But Theon knew even better that King Joffrey's fleet was definitely not just going to stand by and watch.

Right now.

The map was showing the fleet's response—depth charges.

The fleet's circling was precisely for this.

Theon stared at the map.

The sea monster's position had not changed at all, but its surroundings had been laid with densely packed orange-red dots. Those were heavy and ferocious bombs.

Theon had witnessed their power.

A single one could tear apart flesh and steel within a dozen meters of water, creating violent air pockets, whirlpools, and waves.

Even if the sea monster took a hit from one, it certainly wouldn't feel good.

And these bombs had filled all the waters around the sea monster. The number was so great that it could piece together several large warships.

Want to escape from the seabed?

That was already impossible.

The seabed was indeed very deep, but not so deep that depth charges were helpless.

Just set up a few more bombs in the same direction to successfully seal the underwater gap. After considering the depth, the extra bombs consumed were still acceptable.

It was also because of this that Theon finally knew the depth of the Shield Islands.

The deepest point was only fifty meters.

King Joffrey said that the Shield Islands waters were located within the continental shelf of Westeros.

The water depth of the continental shelf generally does not exceed 200 meters. The Shield Islands are closer to land, and the water depth is shallower.

"Continental shelf," a strange term that seemed like only scholars would know.

But Theon already understood:

Even the deepest fifty meters only required the deployment of three depth charges to seal it off.

The result was clear. Once the "fishing net" was successfully cast, the prey trapped in the middle would really no longer be able to escape.

But the sea monster remained motionless, allowing the warships to swim around it.

It really looked like an ignorant deer being targeted by a hunter.

Theon sighed silently, resolving that he would never allow himself to fall into such a pitiful and pathetic situation in the future.

Information!

Theon had never felt the importance of information so clearly.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

Theon had personally witnessed the opposite example of this teaching.

Euron Crow's Eye, uncle, did he know his own strength? Did he know the King's strength? What exactly were his expectations?

No wonder it turned out like this now.

Ding~

Another crisp notification sound rang out. The fleet's first round of deployment was complete.

There were no more gaps around the sea monster, and the orange-red dots formed a continuous patch, presenting a dense ring.

The "fishing net" formed by the bombs was very tight.

The heaviest depth charges were sunk among the sand and rocks on the deeper seabed, with lighter bombs tied a dozen meters above, continuously upwards, all the way to the hollow buoys floating on the surface.

The sea monster's aura had been marked on the bombs, and the explosion would be triggered as soon as it approached. With surveillance, the commanders and the Security Bureau could also trigger it proactively.

The fishing net had been woven. Theon knew. Next, it was time to drive the fish.

A fleet broke away from the encirclement and sailed inward.

Woo—

A piercing whistle entered the sky and the ocean, awakening the tranquil sea monster.

Crow's Eye immediately opened the sea monster's huge eyes.

He had been resting just now.

Controlling such a huge and intelligent sea monster was by no means simple. If it weren't for the help of a god in the dark, it would probably be impossible.

Fortunately, Crow's Eye still had a black pupil blood eye with magic, which barely suppressed the sea monster's resistance. With other methods, he finally turned the sea monster into his own power.

Even so, Crow's Eye could often feel the tearing and collapse of the blood eye and the mental confusion.

The sea monster's pain was even transmitted to him in double.

Therefore, unless necessary, he would not let the sea monster move too violently.

Especially now.

Crow's Eye had begun to doubt whether he had truly tamed the sea monster.

Divine assistance.

The god's prophecy had failed, so could this kind of assistance also be taken back?

There was still no answer.

Crow's Eye could only control the sea monster more carefully, trying his best not to let it resist.

Fortunately, the sea monster was still obedient now.

Crow's Eye controlled the huge head, looking around. In the next instant, it spat out violent streams of water!

So many iron balls!

Is it the kind of flame on the surface of the water?!

Crow's Eye's heart sank, realizing that his prediction had completely failed.

The deep sea could not protect the sea monster!

It must leave immediately! Crow's Eye made a decisive decision.

Then.

It turned around.

But it still stayed in place on the seabed.

Crow's Eye's anger and astonishment were clearly reflected in the sea monster's eyes.

There were iron balls in all directions!

It was like a big net!

Crow's Eye looked upwards. A fleet was sailing on the surface of the sea above, with strings of iron balls hanging from the bottom of the ships, constantly dropping them!

Obviously, the sea monster would no longer be safe here either.

Which way to go?

Crow's Eye quickly turned his thoughts. From above the iron net? No. The iron balls on the ships were more ferocious and numerous, and their power near the surface of the sea was still huge.

Moreover, it would take even longer.

Only try to break through the iron net! At the fastest speed!

Crow's Eye aimed in a direction.

But in the next moment, a cold and rough will squeezed into his soul!

Woo~~~

The sea monster cried out long, with obvious excitement and joy.

Crow's Eye struggled desperately!

Pa!

The sea monster's hundred-meter-long tentacles broke out of the sea, releasing Crow's Eye from the suction cups back into the water.

Then.

It looked at the most conspicuous steel warship.
