264 Fighting
Dragonstone Island is very lively at this time. Because it is located in the narrow import and export of Blackwater Bay, it is naturally an important defense line in the ocean. Therefore, since the war emerged, Dragonstone Island has been "requisitioned" by Stannis' royal fleet. Now, the island is busy laying out maritime defenses inside and outside the island.
However, Lan Li is not the Minister of the Navy, and the defense of the ocean has nothing to do with him. The reason why he returned to Longshi Island was mainly because the "Kans" on the island informed him that there were some new clues about the war.
In other words, someone came to inform the enemy about some preparations for war.
"Bravos' fleet is ready to attack Kalin Bay in the northern border, and Valentis' fleet is targeting Qingting Island. Your main enemy will be the combined fleet of other city-states, as well as the Dothraki, and their destination is to land in the river."
A middle-aged man with a bald head told Ren Li this way.
He is a Kohl native, but claims to be under the leadership of the red-robed woman Melisandra. He will naturally not forget Melisandra Lanli, but he hesitated about it.
Although he had reached a basic oral cooperation agreement with the Red Robe Girl, according to his understanding, the Red Robe Girl was just an ordinary priest in the belief of the King of Light and had no status. How did he know these strategic situations?
Lan Li didn't ask, because he could feel that the person in front of him was just a simple microphone, but this matter was very important. So after thinking about it, he took a speedboat to head outside Westeros on the night he arrived at Longshi Island.
He doesn't need to pay much attention to the things in the king's land for the time being, and there is no particularly important matter to be watched. At the same time, Pantos, among the nine free trade city-states, is not far from Longshi Island, and it will take even ten days to sail for a round trip, so he is going to see it himself and take hostages and interrogate him when necessary.
As a result, when I ran over and saw this, I directly hit the enemy and prepared to set sail and officially start the war!
...
The shallow sea water is warm due to long-term sunlight. When you are in it, a strange coolness flows into your body from all directions.
With his body floating under the sea, staring at the dark bottom of the ship in the distant port area and the rippling people on the land, Lan Li squinted his eyes in the water...
The long-lost feeling around him made him feel happy, but the scene he saw at this moment made the pleasure disappear quietly.
There was no other way, there were too many ships moored at the port, and countless Dothrakis boarded the ship.
The Dothraki are a nomadic people, mostly bronze-colored skin and wearing light leather armor. Aside from past lives, Renli's current impression of the Dothraki is the overlord of the continent of Esthos.
That's right, although the nine free trade city-states are very powerful, the strongest military power in the continent of Essos is not the major city-states, but the war race of Doslak, which is a soldier in the whole nation.
Lanli also learned in advance that the Dothraki had also reached cooperation with Targaryen, but he did not expect that there would be so many of these people - he lurked under the ocean, and from the morning to the evening, the dense crowds of people continued to rush onto the ship, but they were still endless, as if endless.
At this moment, he believed in the news about the woman in red robe. The Dothraki were born with cavalry. So many Dothrakis would be a waste of money if they didn't take them to the hinterland of the mainland to plunder and make trouble, and send them directly to the city to siege, and would have half the result with twice the effort, because the Dothrakis would not attack the city at all.
Lan Li was a little dazzled because of this.
It is Hejian, the northern border, and Qingting Island. The increase in fronts means that the war has become more complicated. If you only decide the outcome in the King's Landing, you don't need to think too much about it. Now you have to make urgent adjustments.
Thinking of it, he did not act rashly.
Although he had not completely believed it before, he did not forget to pass the message to the Iron Throne. At the same time, although the war is about to begin, Lan Li believes that he doesn't have to do anything himself. The Iron Throne will also learn that the enemy is about to set sail, because the Iron Throne has set up an intelligence point outside Westeros - there is a raven to deliver messages, which is much faster than he runs to inform himself.
Lan Li waited quietly—
He is ready to try whether he can trigger the curse effect on his body here.
The feeling of being in the sea for a long time is completely different from that on land. The humidity wraps around the body all the time, but in comparison, Lan Li prefers this situation in the sea at this time.
The endless coolness around him was no longer able to cause any freezing damage to him at this time. Instead, when he entered his body, it turned into the nutrients he needed. The hunger that had been born with time was constantly soothed by this special force, and the spirit of maintaining observation for a long time still did not appear tired.
Lan Li in the sea is like a tireless perpetual motion machine, not eating or drinking but always energetic. At the same time, there are constant groups of fish gathering around him, more and more, which brings serious trouble to his observations and makes Lan Li constantly sink, for fear that this will be discovered by the troops on the sea.
The huge group of fish finally blocked all directions in front, back, left and right. The sight was covered with all kinds of fish heads, ugly, slender, and hideous. At first glance, it looked very scary, but this did not affect Renli's "visit".
At this time, his eyes were closed, but his perspective was not limited to the ocean, but was in the sky.
If someone observes it specifically at this time, he will find that over the surface of the sea where Renli dives, a white seagull is slowly soaring in the sky, observing the dense fleet at the port at the end of the sight under the bright sky, and the Dothraki who are more dense than the fleet.
At the same time, it is also observing the changes in the wind and clouds above the sky.
One day, two days, three days...
Time keeps passing, and the white seagulls are all focused on observing, observing the surrounding environment and the situation in the port, except for normal foraging.
On the fourth day, the situation changed new. The troops at the port finally boarded the ship. Huge merchant ships began to set sail one after another, heading towards Westeros, preparing to start a war that was doomed to be killed or injured.
However, for this reason, Renli's observation suddenly ended.
It was not that he took the initiative to end, but that the seagull that was soaring in the sky suddenly set off from the inside out!
This sudden situation caught Lan Li off guard. The thoughts that existed in the seagull felt the sudden burst of burning together with the bird, and even in the sea he couldn't help but feel pain. In a vague mood, the miserable birds and the subtle sounds of the burning fire came into his ears. When he opened his eyes again, the world was left with only the dark and dull seabed.
Unconsciously pinched his fists, Lan Li looked up at her head. At this time, the top of her head was still closely blocked by the fish, but he seemed to be able to see a red robe standing on the deck with a scepter through the fish and the ocean.
The last scene the bird saw was the figure raising the scepter in his hand and pointing to the sky.
"The magic of the red-robed monk?" Thinking secretly, Lan Li turned his body and swam towards other directions under the sea.
The eyeliner was eliminated, but Lan Li's purpose was achieved-
