The Reach, Highgarden, Mander River.
The combined fleets of Asha·Greyjoy and Highgarden were retreating steadily. She couldn't help but go to the commander of Highgarden, "Sir Willas, our fleet has no way to deal with that big sea monster, please retreat first!"
Willas on the deck shook his head, "No, Highgarden is behind us, we can't retreat any further."
Asha scratched his hair, "What should I do? Stay here and wait to die?"
More than a month ago, she followed Gary's order, rested for a few days in Iron Islands, and then rushed over with a patchwork fleet to support Highgarden.
But what people never expected was that Euron·Greyjoy actually had a huge squid.
On the first day she arrived, most of the fleet was destroyed by the squid monster.
Although she finally reunited with the Reach's fleet, both sides suffered heavy losses. Even if they joined together, they would not have the power to fight against Euron's elite fleet and the sea monster.
Asha said angrily, "If His Majesty Luke is here and has his Ice Magic, why should we be afraid of this squid."
Willas also took this opportunity to ask Asha, "When will King in the North send Dragon to support us? Nowadays, the Reach nobles are fighting on their own. If there are no reinforcements, Highgarden will inevitably fall."
Asha didn't know Gary's strategic plan, so he could only casually say, "When your Majesty seizes Iron Throne, he will naturally send troops here..."
"It's too late. If you wait any longer, it will be too late." Willas held his forehead in pain. There was a trace of tiredness on his originally handsome face, and there were thick dark circles under his eyes.
Now Euron's fleet has stopped attacking. They are working day and night to widen the river channel so that the sea monster can pass smoothly and reach Highgarden.
But this short-term peace will not last long. Highgarden is in danger under the threat of Euron.
Asha also understood this, and she advised, "Sir Willas, I think you should be prepared. If His Majesty Luke cannot provide timely support, we must evacuate..."
"We must not evacuate. Highgarden contains more than half of the Reach's wealth and food. I can't leave all of this to Euron!" Willas clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.
"If the city is really destroyed, please take away my fiancée and brother Loras. I... will stay here and live and die with Highgarden."
Asha said nothing more and nodded in agreement with the promise.
Half a month later.
The river channel of the Mander River was dug deeper and wider by Ironborn under Euron. The fleet regrouped and approached Highgarden again.
A huge black shadow was sneaking in the water, moving forward with the fleet.
The scouts of the Highgarden fleet observed the enemy's movements. They sent back the news, and the sound of horns warning of enemy attacks spread throughout the fleet and the castle.
Willas had a look of death on his face, and he sent someone to call Asha, "Miss Asha, it seems that His Majesty Luke's reinforcements will not be able to arrive. You should return to immediately." Highgarden, pick up Sansa, Loras, and Garlan's family. Please escort them to King's Landing, please."
Asha still wants to live and become the duchess of Iron Islands, so of course she doesn't want to die here. "Sir Willas, I leave the fleet to you, so be sure to hold on. Maybe Luke's reinforcements will arrive tomorrow."
Willas thanked him in a low voice, but he knew that facing the sea monster, he might not be able to hold on for even half a day.
"Boom!"
A shell burst through the deck and flew into the next room.
Asha was shocked, "What is that?"
Willas gritted his teeth and said, "That's the new weapon of the Euron fleet, the artillery! Ever since he captured Oldtown, he has been forcing Citadel to develop new weapons for him, and this artillery is the biggest achievement among them."
Asha swallowed, "Then why fight? Sir Willas, please evacuate with us."
Willas shook his head and said, "He only has three artillery pieces, all of which are on the main ship. And as far as I know, there is an extremely rare black stone among the fillings of the artillery pieces. So there are not many cannonballs that Euron can fire. Our real problem is the sea monster."
At this time, Euron's ship was full of cheers. Ironborn had seen the power of artillery, and they were even more convinced that Euron could unify Seven Kingdoms.
Euron pulled out the scimitar from his waist and shouted, "Attack!"
Ironborn's longship fleet quickly approached Highgarden's sailing fleet. The moment the ships came into contact, Ironborn jumped into the enemy's sailing ship and began to engage the enemy hand-to-hand.
"Bang!"
The huge squid rushed out of the water and waved its thick tentacles, shaking up the rear of the Highgarden fleet. More than a dozen large ships were cut off by the squid's tentacles.
Willas was lame and used his sword to chop down a Ironborn who was on the boat. He urged Asha: "Quickly, my guards will send you back to Highgarden. I'll stay here to delay..."
"Bang!"
Before he finished speaking, a huge tentacle suddenly cut off the deck, tearing the main ship where Willas and others were in into two halves.
The violent turbulence made Willas and several people unable to stand, and they all fell into the river along the broken part of the sailboat.
The sinking of the main ship caused the morale of the Highgarden fleet to fall to the bottom.
Facing this god-like sea monster, everyone lost their determination to defeat it. Some soldiers even dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
Willas had difficulty with his legs and feet. After falling into the water, he took several mouthfuls of river water and almost drowned.
Fortunately, Asha has excellent water resistance, and Willas was rescued ashore.
"Ahem, cough... thank you." Willas vomited the river water while not forgetting to say thank you.
Asha looked at the giant sea monster without any fear in her eyes, because she had seen existences more powerful than this sea monster. "Sir Willas, you should come back to King's Landing with me. Luke Your Majesty will take back Highgarden for you in the future! Neither you nor I can deal with this sea monster, but your Majesty Luke can."
Ice Magic? Luke·Stark Can only one person fight against such a big sea monster?
Willas was deeply suspicious, "Miss Asha, Highgarden has too much wealth. If all of it is left to Euron, then he will have the funds to expand the research and development and manufacturing of artillery. By then, it will be a disaster for His Majesty Luke and Seven Kingdoms. I must stay and destroy the money and food with my own hands."
"Pah!"
Asha slapped him in the face, "Wake up, how can you destroy gold? Even if you burn them all, Euron can still recast them into Gold Dragon!"
Willas didn't get angry even after receiving this slap. He was still so polite and polite. "Miss Asha, everything depends on people. I have to do something."
"You..."
Asha was so angry that his face turned red, "Forget it, you want to die, I won't stop you. Let's go back to Highgarden..."
"Huh~"
A strong wind blew across their faces, the woods on the shore rustled, and some slender trees had been bent by the wind.
A huge black shadow enveloped the entire river. When everyone looked up, they saw a White Dragon covering the sky and the sun, flapping its wings and falling slowly.
On the dragon's back.
Margaery lowered his head to the girl behind him who was wearing a white priest uniform and said, "Priest Teresa, I leave my brother to you."
Teresa didn't answer. She was staring at the big squid below in trance, "Heretic, is it Drowned God? If I eat you this time, I will definitely be able to grow again..."
