One knows the focus of their power from the fact that the supreme ruler of Braavos is called the Sea King.
The ships forming the 'Purple Coastline' were a motley assortment, including everything from oared warships to ordinary merchant ships, sailboats, flatboats, and more.
A rough visual estimate put the number of warships at nearly two thousand.
Even if Braavos is known for its maritime strength, deploying such a large-scale fleet is probably not an easy feat, and there must be the shadow of certain deities behind this.
The massive Braavosi fleet was seen rapidly advancing towards the rear of the Conqueror Fleet in an inverted 'V' shaped formation.
At the forefront of this inverted triangle formation was, naturally, the unparalleled Sea King Fleet.
They used twenty gargantuan oared warships, clearly several levels higher in size and configuration, as their spearhead.
These giant oared warships, nearly two hundred meters long and with four decks, were quickly approaching the supply ships at the very rear of the Conqueror Fleet, propelled by the strenuous rowing of hundreds of oarsmen.
Bang bang bang!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The ship-mounted trebuchets and improved ballistae on the decks of these giant oared warships began to attack.
Snap crackle!
Thick, long bolts with terrifying whistling sounds accurately struck the supply ships, and the thick, long bolts, carrying immense kinetic energy, directly shattered the supply ships, sending wood flying everywhere.
Some even penetrated the supply warships diagonally with undiminished kinetic energy, and large amounts of seawater rushed into the cabins of the supply ships through the holes.
If the ships suffered such damage from the attacks of those improved ballistae, then human flesh and blood were even more so.
Frey Family soldiers who were hit by the thick, long bolts were either directly pinned inside the cabins or had parts of their bodies instantly disappear, letting out heartbreaking screams.
And the burning barrels thrown by those ship-mounted trebuchets were even more extraordinary!
Those burning barrels were seen arcing in a perfect parabola and landing on the supply ships.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The burning barrels exploded, and the orange-red flames that were burning on the outside immediately reacted with the green liquid inside.
Emerald green flames spread across the deck at an extremely fast speed, and the Frey soldiers who couldn't escape in time were burned to ashes amidst agonizing screams by these emerald green flames.
That's right, these emerald green flames were Wildfire!
In the past year, the rule of Myr has experienced several twists and turns, and was finally jointly divided by Braavos and Pentos.
As for Lanak Island, which Jacaerys valued highly, it naturally could not escape the eyes of those with ulterior motives.
Uld, the mayor of Lanak Island, was a clever and very pragmatic man.
He immediately offered wildfire as his pledge of allegiance to the supreme Commander of the Sea King Fleet.
After testing its power, the Sea King of Braavos immediately ordered the full-scale mining of this wildfire.
It can be said that if it weren't for Jacaerys' side being too familiar with wildfire.
The Braavosi side would have long since ignited this entire sea surface with their stored Wildfire, burying the Conqueror Fleet with it.
However, it's not bad now; the Conqueror Fleet, which had been relying on long-range firepower suppression, is now in the predicament of being attacked from both front and back,
and is also experiencing for the first time the hardship of being suppressed by others with long-range attacks and Wildfire.
Correspondingly, the Joint Fleet on this side also suffered greatly.
The number of warships in the House Lannister Fleet and the Redwyne Fleet was no less than that of the Joint Fleet, and they had been resting and recuperating for a long time.
Although they didn't have Wildfire, various armor-piercing bolts and burning pitch barrels also caused a large number of casualties to the Joint Fleet.
But what was truly terrifying were the four Dragons whose enormous dragon wings obscured the sky.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Black Dracarys, silver-white Dracarys, and gray Dracarys exploded among the Joint Fleet.
The three-colored Dracarys in this small area of the sea reflected each other, and a large number of Joint Fleet ships and soldiers turned to ash in the three-colored Dracarys.
And Sunfyre, with its special Dracarys, was responsible for single-target attacks.
It showed no intention of dodging, simply charging straight towards a large warship of the Joint Fleet.
Ordinary attacks could not penetrate its colorful dragon scales, but the concentrated fire of numerous improved ballistae was different.
Sunfyre, riddled with thick, long bolts, crashed onto that large warship, and a colorful aura permeated from it.
The Joint Fleet soldiers on this large warship were instantly dissolved into skeletons amidst heartbreaking screams.
As streams of bloody liquid were recovered, the thick, long bolts on Sunfyre broke, and its injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In a moment, Sunfyre, fully recovered, flapped its wings and flew towards the next target.
And the large warship it left behind appeared to have no significant damage, but only white skeletons remained on board, with no living person in sight.
This large warship, uncontrolled, drifted away quietly with the ocean current.
Perhaps one day, someone who accidentally sees this warship will mistake it for a ghost ship.
This naval battle was still ongoing, with both sides' reinforcements focusing their attention on the enemy fleet closest to them.
It was as if they were competing to see who could devour the bait released by the other side faster.
The Braavosi Purple Fleet thus approached the Conqueror Fleet under long-range firepower suppression.
Suddenly, their flagship sounded a horn call of unknown meaning.
This Purple Fleet not only did not slow down, but instead rowed their oars even faster to increase their momentum.
If one looked closely, they would notice that the hulls of the medium and small warships closely following the giant warships were undergoing certain changes as they advanced.
Bang bang bang!
Clang crash, clang crash!
One after another, the giant warships that had reached full speed directly crashed into the rear of the Conqueror Fleet's formation.
Their thick, long ramming prows directly pierced the stern of a supply ship.
Due to the strong inertia, the giant warships actually smashed the supply ships apart, starting from the stern.
After successively smashing two supply ships apart, they gradually slowed down due to the recoil from the violent collisions.
Finally, upon colliding with the stern of the third supply ship, they could no longer continue to advance.
At this time, the medium and small warships that had been closely following them began to show their power.
These ships were seen extending special mounts resembling wings outwards from their hulls during the previous voyage.
These special mounts were not important; what was important were the thick iron plates with sharp serrated edges fixed onto the special mounts.
The medium and small warships had been hiding behind the giant warships before, and were still maintaining a very high speed.
At this speed, they rapidly approached the supply warships that had been penetrated by the giant warships' ramming prows.
Creak, creak!
The serrated thick iron plates acted like iron saws, directly cutting open the hull of the supply ships from below.
These supply warships were large ships, and the position of the serrated iron plates on these medium and small warships was precisely at the location of their cabins.
Rip, rip!
The serrated iron plates that penetrated the cabins directly decapitated the unsuspecting Frey soldiers inside the ship from their necks with ease, and warm blood splattered all over the faces of the other Frey soldiers.
As these Braavosi medium and small ships sailed past the supply ships, the supply ship that was hit by the giant warship and could not escape was like an onion being cut open, slowly peeling away layer by layer.
One after another, the supply warships thus turned into pieces, sinking into the deep, dark bottom of the Narrow Sea.
The Braavosi side, with twenty giant warships as the tip of the knife, deeply pierced into the Conqueror Fleet.
The supply ships at the rear were almost completely annihilated, and the twenty giant warships began to attack the other Conqueror warships in front in the same manner.
But the combat power of these official warships, filled with Frey Family soldiers, was completely different from that of the supply ships.
When they were controlled by the giant warships' ramming prows, and the medium and small warships began to cut the ships at close range.
They actually used the ropes on the masts and gangplanks to board and engage in close-quarters melee combat with the numerous enemies.
"Frey Family soldiers, today we will fight for the Seven Kingdoms, for King Jaehaerys!
Your Majesty personally issued a bounty: kill one enemy, be rewarded with ten Silver Stags; kill ten enemies, be rewarded with ten Golden Dragons.
Kill a hundred enemies, be granted a knight's head and a family fief that can be inherited!"
Seeing the final desperate struggle, the captain of this Conqueror warship immediately used Jacaerys' battle merit bounty to boost morale.
One by one, the Frey soldiers with red eyes immediately roared loudly: "For the Seven Kingdoms, for King Jaehaerys!
Let these foreign barbarians see our courage!"
The Conqueror Fleet, which had been ambushed, suddenly had its morale greatly boosted, and these Frey Family soldiers immediately fought valiantly and fearlessly.
The Frey Family recruits among them were not strong in combat, but the veterans leading them were worth five.
Even if seriously wounded, these Frey Family veterans would try to bite off a piece of flesh from the enemy's body with their mouths.
In such a situation, the Conqueror Fleet actually withstood the attack of the Braavosi side.
The battlefield on the other side was similar at first, completely unable to withstand Jacaerys' attack.
The Commander on the flagship of the Joint Fleet, seeing the critical situation, no longer cared about hiding his location and began to frequently issue orders to deploy troops.
Jacaerys, sitting on Womax's dragon saddle, had been observing with a special telescope.
After confirming the Joint Fleet flagship that was issuing the orders, he immediately dove towards it at high speed.
The Joint Fleet Commander, seeing this, immediately turned pale with fright and ordered the surrounding escort ships to protect him as he fled.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Clang clang clang!
The thick, long arrows shot by the improved ballistae of the Joint Fleet warships could not penetrate Womax at all, only producing a series of crisp clanging sounds.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
But the next moment, they shot a round of emerald green rockets towards Womax in the sky.
These rockets, which seemed to dye the entire sky green, naturally aroused Jacaerys' vigilance.
He no longer resisted head-on, but instead commanded Womax to hover in the air, then flap its huge dragon wings at a relatively fast frequency.
The gale stirred up by Womax's dragon wings, with a wingspan of over two hundred meters, directly blew these emerald green rockets scattering in all directions.
Whoosh!
After blowing away the emerald green rockets suspected to be Wildfire, Jacaerys immediately transmitted his thoughts to Womax to spew a pillar of Dracarys.
The black Dracarys pillar, with a diameter of five or six meters, was like a black laser beam, going straight towards the Joint Fleet flagship that had already turned to flee in the distance.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
The black Dracarys pillar, with irresistible force, directly melted the outer shell of the Joint Fleet flagship.
As Womax's dragon head, with its gaping maw, swung down fiercely.
The highly condensed and extremely hot black Dracarys pillar was now like a giant black divine sword.
Starting from the Joint Fleet flagship, it successively melted and cut through seven or eight Joint Fleet warships that were escorting the flagship.
The hot, high-impact black Dracarys pillar even evaporated a large amount of seawater.
Looking from the sky, it was as if a black divine sword held by a deity had cut open the sea surface in this area.
With the destruction of the Joint Fleet's flagship, the remaining Joint Fleet warships were suddenly like headless flies.
Some warships still adhered to the flagship's previous orders, continuing to fight against the warships at the forefront of the Conqueror Fleet.
Another portion of the warships were so terrified by Womax's black Dracarys pillar, which was like a sword opening the sea, that they lost all will to fight and tried to turn around and flee.
Seeing that the enemy had collapsed, Jacaerys immediately commanded Womax, Silverwing, Seasmoke, and the other three Dragons to spew Dracarys at the enemy warships that were stubbornly resisting.
The situation on the battlefield was now very clear; it was obvious that Jacaerys' side would definitely devour the bait faster than the Braavosi side.
But the battlefield is never without surprises.
Especially this kind of super battlefield where deities are hidden behind the scenes, the first collision between two continents.
On the large number of purple ships behind the Braavosi 'V' formation, sailors were seen carrying living animals such as cattle and sheep from the cabins onto the deck.
Then, after slitting their throats, they threw them, still dripping with blood, into the surging seawater.
At the same time, in the cabins of the warships that were throwing living animals into the sea,
there were mysterious individuals wearing scarlet hooded robes, sitting in spiral magic circles drawn with blood, chanting in high valyrian.
Accompanied by their chanting, the blood flowing from the cattle and sheep wriggled on the sea surface like living creatures.
And the blood of these living cattle and sheep was like a catalyst; the countless bodies of soldiers from both sides that had previously fallen into the sea began to melt, and then turned into streams of blood.
A portion of the blood began to cover the hulls of the surrounding warships and the bodies of the sailors who had sacrificed the cattle and sheep.
But the vast majority of the blood went downwards, like a giant crimson hand reaching towards the dark, deep seabed.
Hmm?
Ela, who had been sitting quietly behind Jacaerys, suddenly felt an unusual energy fluctuation.
She frowned and thought for a moment, then her expression changed drastically as she said to Jacaerys: "Something is wrong, a large number of Blood Wizards are jointly performing a ritual magic ahead.
I don't know what effect this ritual magic has, but the energy it contains is very powerful.
It must be stopped as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Although Jacaerys had enough confidence, he was never arrogant or conceited, and was of a receptive nature.
So he didn't say a word and directly rode Womax towards the direction Ela was pointing!
