Chapter 503 The Wrath of the Dragon
The room fell into an awkward silence.
After a moment, Wallis said softly:
“Your Majesty, you really misunderstood me. Since I handed over all my intelligence network, why would I hold anything back?”
"Varys, you know what. In fact, I originally planned to spare your life. But now it seems that you really have to die."
"Your Majesty, please listen to me..." Before Varys could finish his words, he suddenly saw Samwell's eyes turn pure gold.
In an instant, he seemed to see the sun falling and a volcano erupting. The terrifying pressure surged like a sea of fire, making his whole body hot and unable to move.
—
Golden flames suddenly exploded in Varys's body, instantly turning him into ashes.
"There's nothing to explain." Samwell looked at the ashes of the other party and said calmly, "Whether this matter is due to the Antarian family's plan, Bruce's ambition, or a temptation that is unwilling to fail, for me It doesn't make any difference. If you should kill, you must kill."
“It really deserves to be killed.” Old Sea King, who was lying on the bed, suddenly said.
He looked delirious and dying just now, but now his eyes were shining with the light of reason.
Samwell glanced at the old man in surprise and said with a smile:
“Good acting, Ferrego.”
Sea King sighed and said:
"I was also forced by them. If I hadn't pretended to be like this, I would have been killed by them long ago."
Samwell asked with interest:
"who are they?"
“My brother Denio Antalion, and the forces of Pentos he colluded with.”
Samwell nodded secretly, not surprised by this.
Pentos is also one of the nine free trade city-states in the Essos continent. It is just south of Braavos. The relationship between the two sides is quite tense.
The root cause is that Braavos was founded by slaves who escaped from the Valyrian Empire. Slavery was abolished by legislation since the city was founded, and Pentos is a colony of the Valyrian Empire, even after the Doomsday Catastrophe. After gaining independence, slavery was still practiced.
The two sides fought six wars in two hundred years. In the end, Braavos won and became the most powerful and wealthy free trade city-state. Pentos was forced to abolish slavery.
But obviously, Pantos was not willing to fail.
It seems that the method of revenge they chose is to recruit the traitors of the current Sea King family and put the Sea King under house arrest, thereby secretly controlling Braavos.
Varys had a close relationship with Illyrio Mopatis, the governor of Pentos, and had originally conspired to support the restoration of the Targaryen family. No wonder this guy hid in the Neptune Palace after disappearing from King's Landing.
Samwell thought about many things in an instant and asked again:
“Then your son Bruce…”
"He is not my son at all!" Neptune said angrily. "Seven years ago, I did have some health problems. In order to recover from illness, I had to temporarily retreat behind the scenes and leave all government affairs to my younger brother. But I didn't Thinking about it, my biological brother actually wants to make me sick forever, and he only has the power of Neptune!
While I was recuperating, Denio transferred all my men and replaced them with his own people. Even my son was replaced by a **** from who knows where! That kid looks almost exactly like Bruce, but how could he hide it from me! "
Samwell asked:
“Then what happened to Tormo Frega?”
"That was the counterattack of the Braavos dignitaries." Sea King explained, "Of course Denio's little move cannot be hidden from everyone. The Braavos dignitaries, including the Iron Bank, naturally cannot tolerate a guy who is close to Pantos. Take charge of the authority of Neptune.
So, Tormo Frega is the agent they introduced, hoping to use the battle of Westeros to gain the support of the army and the popularity of the people, so as to replace me and become the new King of the Sea.
Unfortunately, they made the wrong bet. "
Speaking of this, Poseidon showed a pleasant sneer:
“I don’t know what these people are thinking. They dare to stand on the opposite side of the dragon. It seems that after hundreds of years of escaping from Valyria, many people have forgotten the terror of the dragon.”
Samwell said:
"The dragon egg was also stolen by someone pretending to be your son? It seems that your brother's faction is also facing great pressure in Braavos, otherwise they would not have done such a thing."
"Yes." Sea King nodded and said: "You may not know that not long after the news of Tormo's defeat came back, my brother's body appeared in the long ditch. How can they not be afraid.
The guy pretending to be my son slipped away to King's Landing by boat early the next morning, apparently wanting to ask for your help.
But I didn’t expect that this kid would dare to steal the dragon egg. "
Samwell sneered:
“Maybe they thought they could put the blame on the Faceless Men.”
"It's not just the Faceless Men. They want to destroy Braavos!" Sea King said angrily, "Your Majesty, thank you for your wit and not being fooled by them. Please don't be impulsive. The dragon egg matter is Pan's. I can assure you that the people of Braavos have no intention of going against you."
Samwell smiled faintly and said:
“Ferregor, do you really speak for all the people of Braavos?”
Poseidon sighed and said in a helpless tone:
"You're right. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Iron Bank to reach a compromise with you because of the debt. The Faceless Men have also sent people to assassinate you. As for those in Braavos who once sided with Tormo Frega, Nobles, I am afraid they are not willing to bow to you."
"I'm afraid it's not up to them," Samwell said lightly.
At the same time, he came to the window, opened the blackout curtains, looked at the western sky, and said quietly:
“It is rumored that whenever Braavos is in danger, the titan will awaken, his eyes burning with fire, and he will smash his enemies to pieces with his crunching stone limbs.”
“There is indeed such a rumor, but since the founding of Braavos, no Titan has ever awakened...”
Before Neptune finished speaking, he felt a sudden tremor in the earth.
“What’s going on? There’s an earthquake?”
"No," Samwell pointed to the window and said, "It's your Titan who has awakened."
"Huh?" Neptune looked in the direction of the other person's finger and immediately opened his mouth.
Before he could react, he heard a loud dragon roar resounding in the sky of Braavos.
Boom—
The wall exploded, and Samwell strode out, his body moving continuously in the night, and finally landed on the back of the white dragon.
At the same time, the door of the room was also opened, and Naho Demitis walked in with several guards.
He first glanced at Neptune on the bed, and saw that the other person had fallen asleep, with sticky saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he was immediately relieved.
But the guard behind him pointed to a pile of ashes beside the bed and said:
“Sir, what is that?”
"Probably he was regarded as the target of Caesar's anger."
Then, he walked to the wall where a large hole had been knocked, and looked at the white dragon flying westward in the night sky. A strange smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth:
“I really didn’t expect that those guys who talk all day long actually woke up the Titans.”
…
“Four hundred years ago, a group of refugees who could no longer endure the enslavement of the Valyrian Empire met the Moonsinger from the Juggesnai Plains. She predicted that behind the pine-covered hills and sea rocks, there would be a land covered with dense vegetation. Places shrouded in fog can block the dragon's eyes, making them the most suitable refuge for refugees.
There is Braavos.
Now, when the dragon descends on Braavos through the thick fog, the Moonsingers are already prepared to deal with it.
The Titan, made of rock and fire, will surely destroy all enemies in Braavos! "
On the Zigang Pier, an old man in sackcloth looked at the Titan coming over the waves and roared in a feverish tone.
“Titan, destroy all enemies!”
Countless Braavos people looked at the living Titan, and the same thought came to their hearts.
When the dragon's shadow once again envelopes this sanctuary, the awakened Titans will surely become their protectors.
"Roar-"
White Dragon also came to Purple Harbor at this time, hovering and flying in the night sky, staring at the rock giant below with its cold blood-red vertical pupils.
The Titan also raised its head, opened its huge maw of rock, and let out an extremely violent roar.
In an instant, a ferocious aura filled the air, and the calm sea instantly set off a rolling wave, sweeping towards the port pier.
This time, the people of Braavos who were watching the excitement were frightened and fled, but even so, hundreds of people were still submerged by the tide, and the entire Purple Harbor was crumbling in this huge wave.
The white dragon swooped down from the sky, and an orange-red fire spear poured down towards the Titan with terrifying scorching heat.
The turbulent sea surface boiled instantly, countless fish, shrimps and crabs were cooked almost in the blink of an eye, and countless steam rose up, making Zigang become smoky and like a fairyland.
As for the Titan who bore the brunt, the pine forest weeds on his body instantly ignited with blazing flames, and even his body made of hard rock continued to crack under the terrifying flames.
Today's Cleopatra, with Samwell's continuous use of the dragon's skull to ripen her, has been able to exert the power of the mature dragon, and the dragon's flames have naturally become extremely terrifying.
Even if it is as hard as rock, it cannot withstand its scorching heat.
But the Titan still braved the invasion of the dragon flames and rushed forward with heavy steps like a moving hill.
That high momentum seems to be indifferent to the dragon flames.
"Roar-"
With the Titan roaring, a huge boulder was thrown from his left hand.
With the ear-piercing sound of breaking through the air, the boulder exploded out like a cannonball, instantly hitting the white dragon's abdomen and exploding into countless fragments.
“Ouch!!”
Cleopatra let out a terrifying scream, obviously being really fired up by this.
I saw its huge wings suddenly fluttering, and instantly turned into a white light and rushed towards the Titan.
Boom!
The Titan was knocked over by the white dragon and fell into the sea with a crash.
The huge rock body slammed into the sea, instantly rolling up huge waves. The turbulent water rushed into the dock and poured into the streets of Braavos. Countless houses collapsed and people were washed away by the water.
Cryings, screams, and curses merged into one, becoming the accompaniment of this unprecedented battle.
The Titan roared in anger in the water, and at its center, a terrifying power suddenly erupted.
In an instant, the sea surface within a few hundred meters suddenly sank.
White Dragon's feet were tightly held by a giant rock arm, and his whole body fell suddenly under the huge force.
Samwell, who was standing on the dragon's back, couldn't help but staggered. Before he could regain his balance, he saw another giant arm of rock protruding from the sea.
The broken bronze sword held in his hand shone with a strange blue light under the starlight, piercing the white dragon's neck like lightning.
Without any time to think about it, Samwell quickly drew out the giant sword [Dawn] from his back.
But at this moment, he suddenly discovered that this giant sword seemed to be resisting him.
A series of red and gold lines are densely covered with the milky white sword body, forming mysterious and complicated incantations.
For Samwell, these red and gold spells are no stranger.
He had seen it on the sword of Dawn before, but that was before Blood Reef Island and before he completely fell out with R'hllor, the Lord of Light.
Samwell suddenly raised his head and looked at the Island of the Gods in the center of Braavos, looking at the red temple built of red rock.
The top of the square tower of the huge temple was burning with blazing flames, like a huge eye.
Looking at Samwell.
"R'hllor." Samwell raised the corners of his mouth in a contemptuous sneer, "Get out of my sword!"
The next second, his hair gradually turned golden, and his originally gray pupils also turned golden. Golden lines spread from his eyes and gradually covered his entire face.
And along the neck and arms, directly to the giant sword [Dawn].
A powerful and sacred force burst out in this golden flame, instantly intertwining into a field of several hundred meters around it.
In this area, the red and gold lines completely disappear.
But the broken bronze sword in the Titan's hand still penetrated with a bang.
哧—
A golden sword light suddenly exploded, like a golden sun suddenly appearing in the night sky.
The sword light flashed by, and the Titan's arm was broken at the wrist. The rocky palm and broken bronze sword smashed into the sea, causing a huge wave.
It seemed that he finally felt the fear, and the Titan turned around and was about to run away.
But the white dragon had already opened its huge mouth and bit the giant's neck.
"Roar-"
Dragon flames surged out from the depths of the white dragon's throat and flowed down from the Titan's neck, as if it was covered with a flame armor.
But under this fire armor, countless hard rocks continued to crack and break, and even turned into puddles of black liquid, which continued to fall into the sea.
More mist is rising.
哧!
Another golden sword light flashed, and the Titan's huge head crashed down, falling into the sea, causing thousands of waves.
