Chapter 611 Sea Battle (middle)
Red Keep On the ocean in the due east, all the navies of the old and new dynasties The decisive battle of power is in full swing, and a little south, a third party who has not yet participated in the war is also closely watching the battle between the first two.

Ironmen temporarily owns the largest fleet in the entire known world, but the foundation is very weak... Even if the victory is already in hand, Euron still wants to continue to wait, waiting for the opportunity to maximize the profit.

The Demon Dragon is still missing, and the Stannis fleet is heading towards the Daenerys Naval Column as expected... The center line and its vanguard are scuffled together, and the flank encirclement is about to take shape. Anyone with a little military knowledge can see that this battle situation is like Daenerys punching into the cloth bag that Stannis has opened. If you can't withdraw from the battlefield or break out forward, the outcome will be no suspense being squeezed into a ball and completely wiped out.

The response of the Queen fleet was: the center line following the vanguard began to spread and maneuver to the north and south sides, changing the shape of the entire fleet from the original long bar to a "cross", and then extending left and right. The twisted and weak wings that came out then dashed forward, and finally pulled the fleet into a somewhat weird "Ψ" shape.

To be honest, Euron doesn't understand what this is doing.

In an attempt to counter-encircle Stannis' fleet with the improvised wings?

But the time and the number of ships are not enough.

It was a hasty response in an emergency. Want to try to rescue a striker who has been trapped?
Seems to be the case, but it would be better if I had known it at first. First put the striker into danger as cannon fodder, and then hurriedly pull the formation to rescue, smashing oneself in the foot with a rock, what are you playing?
Could it be that it is a new special formation designed to deal with enemies from both sides?

Euron can't figure out whether to look horizontally or vertically: how will this Queen fleet, which has already been united with Stannis's navy, deal with the subsequent massive attack by Iron Fleet?
……

"Boom~"

The front line has been fighting. In order to avoid accidental injury, several gunships in the center of the Queen's fleet have ceased fire, but they are quiet It didn't last two minutes before it was broken again by a deafening salvo.

It wasn't until he heard the exclamations of the crew, turned his head and saw the sailors pointing fingers, and followed their eyes to see the big ripples and splashes beside the ship, Euron came back to his senses: the other party turned around, Start your fleet of strikes oneself!
courting death?

A fierce gleam flashed from the blue eyes that had never worn the blindfold, and Evil Thought, who was dormant under the suppression of reason, and the desire to kill suddenly woke up.

I wanted to make the enemy live a little longer, but since they are impatient to seek death, then oneself will fulfill them!
"Send orders, full speed ahead! Whether it's Stannis or Daenerys' ship... no prisoners today!"

The sound of warhorns, more dull than Royal Fleet's, passed from one ship to the other In a blink of an eye, the entire Iron Fleet horn was blown, some of them were made by the islanders, but more were loot looted in the process of looting the Seven Kingdoms, they came from the northern Southern Sea, Therefore, the size and sound are also different. Immediately, the entire Blackwater Bay seemed to be soaked in one after another wu wu or high-pitched sounds... The Ironmen's battleship began to accelerate suddenly, pulling a broad horizontal formation whose length was measured in miles, aggressively facing the north, which had already formed a group. The dragon and deer fleets rushed towards them.

Euron is qualified to be arrogant. Although there are not as many as the so-called thousand, there are indeed more Ironmen ships participating in the war today than Stannis and Daenerys combined... Hundreds!

For the first two kings, who had a lot of support and recognition, this naval battle may have been part of the entire battle for King's Landing, but for the Iron Islands and Euron Crow's Eye, it was not. It is a battle to bet on the "national fortune", truly appear in front of the world and show ambition.

This battle he not only has to win, but also a result that shakes the Seven Kingdoms and even both sides of the Narrow Sea.

And there's no better way to do this than to wipe out Stannis and Daenerys' fleet in World War I!
Euron did not dare to hope to achieve this goal completely, but now the Stannis fleet is attacking the whole army without any effort, while the small Queen's navy is stunned to deal with it, an extremely rare opportunity is in front of him!

Hundreds of bows slashed across the blue waters, and up ahead, the Queen's odd battle formation, which seemed to have guarded Ironmen's hands, was bloated and unresponsive: forward, caught in a battle with Royal Fleet. In the close-knit melee; the middle formation, half in vain attempts to rescue the front formation, and the other half manoeuvring in a panic; the rear formation was barely able to face the south... However, it was difficult for the entire fleet to fight In the case of Iron Fleet, how long can this trifling one third ship continue to fight?

The huge array is like a huge fishing net, wrapping up the "snipe and clams" that are fiercely competing in the field. Because there are too many boats, the Ironmen can not only easily achieve the two-wing outflank— - Simultaneous backstabs against the Stannis and Daenerys fleets, with the fastest light longships left to spare. The battle situation seemed to be without suspense, but the attackers still did not dare to be careless. Whether it is the small and powerful Bingxia Harbor fleet created by North and Night's Watch, or the astonishing rumors that the land-grant army on the Blackwater Rush bank broke hundreds of thousands a few days ago, they all made alarm bells in their hearts.

Iron Islands have been dumbed down a few times on that damn Night's Watch, and this time it must not capsize!
On the decks of fleet ships hiding the sky and covering the earth, there are silhouettes of sailors running around - handing out buckets, damp cloths and shields. The bombs and Wildfires used by Wall's defenders left a deep impression and a huge psychological shadow on the Ironmen. If they meet again this time, at least they have made targeted preparations for these two killers.

The sun gradually began to sink in the west, and the huge shadow of Aegon's High Hill began to change from a small mass on the coast to a long and narrow greatsword, spreading from west to east at an alarming rate, and it was about to cover it. The first battle group in the fierce battle. Under constant artillery strikes, Iron Fleet closed in on the Daenerys fleet. The other party obviously saw the identity of the flagship of "Silence", and the artillery fire also focused on taking care of this terrifying warship with black sails and red shell. The hull had been hit by a shell, but Euron still stood fearlessly At the bow, face doesn't change commanding the fleet's attack.

Euron can't let people see oneself dodging gunfire.

With the morale of the mobs he led, there may be a little trouble and something wrong, and there will be a crisis of collapse in an instant.

The Queen's fleet, whose formation had been disturbed by Stannis, struggled to pull the ships in the rear to the south of the entire fleet, arranging a thin array facing Iron Fleet, which was dozens of ships. The great ships captured from the Volantis invincible fleet, each of which has a tonnage comparable to Silence's, lined up in a row and glanced at it is quite deterrent. If the crew is really replenished, it is said that it cannot withstand the first round attack of oneself, but only waiting for Encircled by two wings...

Euron threw the huge long-handled axe from one hand to the other, relying on this boring repetition to curb the madness and bloodthirsty urge in his heart at the moment, he glanced at the Queen's fleet to welcome The row of warships that came up was going to pick out the most unlucky one to deal with in person.

His pupils dilated suddenly—he suddenly saw a familiar long ship.

The two-hundred-foot-long black streamlined hull, a huge mast the thickness of which one person hugs, hundreds of long oars, a deck enough for two or three hundred people to stand... plus a huge steel without fancy at the bow ram. Although still a longship in shape, it was designed and built with more battle and sea control than raiding in mind.

There are ships of this size everywhere, but a giant longship of this shape, the whole world can be counted on one's fingers.

Even if it turns to ashes, Euron can't recognize it: this is the young brother who was sent away from the Iron Islands to Meereen by oneself, and died under the dragon's flame because of the sound of the Dragon Horn. - Victarion Greyjoy's ship, once Iron Fleet's flagship, the "Invincible Ironborn"!
Is oneself's stupid younger brother resurrected from the dead to fight oneself, or which bastard dares to touch oneself's bad head at this juncture and provoke oneself with this unsightly boat?
