"Boom —"
It was as if a napalm bomb had been detonated. The 40-meter-long ship was instantly enveloped in a dazzling fireball. A circular airwave that could be seen with the naked eye, mixed with a dozen sailors who could not control themselves, rapidly spread out, directly pushing the nearby ships three to five meters away.
Through the monocular, Danny could even see the warship with the words "Grazidan" painted on the hull slowly disintegrating. Countless sailors were struggling and crying in the flames … Then, their bodies maintained a distorted appearance as they burned with popping sounds.
Fire snakes hissed and spat out tongues of flame from the ballista windows below the deck. Hundreds of sailors were like torches that were ignited, throwing themselves into the sea.
Such an exaggerated explosion of flames, the entire battlefield could not help but be silent for a few seconds. Then, 20,000 soldiers cheered wildly, "Long live the Mother Of Dragons, the True Dragon is invincible!"
"Long live the Mother Of Dragons, long live Danny Rize the First!"
"The True Dragon is invincible, the True Dragon is invincible!"
The soldiers even stopped what they were doing and waved their arms at the Megalosaurus hovering in the sky, shouting loudly. Their commanding officer did not reprimand the soldiers' behavior. Instead, he waved his sword and joined the cheering crowd.
The cheers seemed to have encouraged the Green Dragon and the White Dragon. They followed their elder brother, the Black Dragon, and flew 3,000 meters into the sky. Then, they retracted their wings and free-fell from the sky like a spear.
Below them were two giant warships.
"Huff, huff, huff …"
They kept falling for 1,000 meters. In the process, they kept swinging their tails, fine-tuning the direction of their fall.
In the eyes of the Megalosaurus, there seemed to be a crosshair that kept aiming at the highest building of the warship — the bridge.
They suddenly spat out a small flame at their claws, then spread their wings. Their bodies drew a beautiful arc in the sky, flying in the direction of Danny, who was on the city wall.
But the giant incendiary bombs they threw were still falling vertically at an extremely high speed, with an ear-piercing screech, the speed was getting faster and faster.
Danny asked the bricklayer to make a Molotov cocktail that looked exactly like a missile.
The pointed head made of bronze allowed the center of gravity of the "missile" to be pointed downwards (bronze was denser than clay pots). The round clay pots were filled with white phosphorus, kerosene, and asphalt. There was little white phosphorus, and it was soaked in kerosene, so it did not come into contact with the air.
The missile's tail to ensure that it did not deviate from its course. There was a tail behind its butt — a thick hemp rope tied to the Megalosaurus' claws.
When the three dragons were 1,000 meters above the ground, they used their dragon flames to burn off the ropes on their claws. Then, the dragons flew away and the missiles continued their free fall.
Three thousand meters, a bottle of kerosene weighing eighty pounds, and the "warhead" was made of bronze …
"Boom —" The Molotov cocktail.
"Crash —"
The hard and brittle jar broke, and fuel and white phosphorus sprayed into the cabin. Due to the high-speed fall, a large amount of heat was generated from the friction with the air. The temperature of the fuel and white phosphorus was very high, and the white phosphorus began to burn when it came into contact with the air. Then, the fuel, which had almost turned into a mist in the collision, was ignited.
.... What if the fuel was replaced with wildfire?
An image appeared in her mind. Blackie had finally reached adulthood and could carry a thousand pounds. He then flew 10,000 meters above the King's Landing with a "bomb" ten times larger in his claws.
It was made of iron and filled with green wildfire. It weighed a total of 800 pounds. Then, he threw it at the Red Fort..
. Danny shuddered. Damn it, why do we still need a fire-breathing dragon? We can just change to a bomber.
"Continue, tie a Molotov cocktail to my dragon! Burn the slave owner! "She drew her sword and ordered the soldiers.
"Long live the Mother Of Dragons, burn the slave owner!"
In the square behind the city wall, the three dragons landed on a platform. More than ten militiamen pushed carts to the bottom of the platform.
The carts were filled with soft straw. A two-meter long, bucket-thick "missile" was placed in the center. A rope as thick as chopsticks was woven into a net on the missile. A rope as thick as a thumb was tied to the tail of the missile. The soldier squatting beside the Megalosaurus tied the seven to eight meter long rope to the dragon's claws...
. Blackie was the first to complete the task of throwing the missile. He was the first to come back. He was also the first to flap his wings again and drag the "missile" into the sky.
Because there was a short glide distance, the soldiers below had to follow Blackie's speed and push the carts forward four to five meters. Only then could Blackie bring the missile into the sky.
Looking at the "missile" swaying slightly below Blackie, Danny couldn't help but praise the Megalosaurus's sense of balance and ability to fly steadily.
About ten minutes later, there was another "whoosh whoosh whoosh — boom boom boom!"
Three Molotov cocktails took down three warships.
The cost of a warship started from ten thousand gold royals. Forty to fifty thousand gold royals wasn't considered much.
A molotov cocktail and kerosene only cost one or two silver coins. As for white phosphorus … white phosphorus was a little expensive. Only a few Fire Sorcerers in the city could make it. It cost Dani three gold royals per kilo.
Even so, the cost of a Molotov cocktail didn't exceed five gold royals.
This was a huge profit!
"You really think that just because Astana doesn't have a navy, you have the confidence to fight a naval battle with me? I'm going to beat you slave masters until you go bankrupt. "Dani laughed proudly as she looked at the three mushroom clouds rising from the sea.
However, the enemy's tenacity was beyond imagination. After throwing four waves of Molotov cocktails and destroying twelve of the largest warships, none of the warships retreated.
Not only did the enemy's fleet not retreat, the sailors who fell into the sea swam towards the dock. The twelve ships were destroyed in an hour. At the same time, two to three thousand sailors who lost their ships gathered at the dock.
There was a distance of seventy to eighty meters between the city walls and the coastline. Between the two, there was a wide red brick road, as well as brick buildings like taverns, food stores, and warehouses.
Of course, the residents of the dock area had long evacuated, but the buildings were still there. The sailors who swam ashore didn't attack the city walls that were dozens of meters away. They scattered and hid by the walls.
A black Unsullied glanced at Danny and hesitated for a moment before walking to Mormont who was shouting for soldiers to attack the enemy warships. He asked him for instructions, "Commander Mormont, do you want to send the Unsullied down to clean up those sailors?"
Danny's military regulations clearly stated that in the process of marching and fighting, the subordinate officers only needed to report the military situation to their superiors and ask for orders. They couldn't reveal military secrets to others because of their higher status, and they couldn't listen to the orders of non-subordinate officers before their superiors gave them clear orders.
The military regulations also stated that if their superiors died in battle, or if they couldn't contact their superiors in a short period of time in an emergency, they could listen to the orders of people with higher military ranks than them.
Of course, the above regulations were invalid to the Queen. No matter when and where, the Queen's orders had the highest authority.
So the captain of the Unsullied hesitated when he saw Danny, wondering if he should ask her for instructions.
The Unsullied were 50 people in a squad, ten squads in a squadron, three squadrons in a large group, and a total of 8,600 Unsullied were a regiment.
The commander of the regiment was Grey Worm, and the captain was also an acquaintance of Danny's, Missande, the brother of the clerk Missandei.
Missandei was sold to Astapor with her three brothers. She became the secretary of the Benevolent Lord, and her brothers became "sisters".
One of the brothers did not pass the trial and was killed by the Benevolent Lord, leaving two brothers, Missande and Missandei.
Perhaps Missandei's family had better genes. At the age of ten, Missandei was proficient in more than a dozen languages and could be called a prodigy. Her two brothers were also skilled in martial arts, could read and write, had high military literacy, and had a strong learning ability.
As a result, Missande and Missandei were elected as captains by their Unsullied comrades.
Danny was not angry with Missande's choice, because she had clearly ordered all the officers before leading the team out a few days ago: Jorah Mormont was the commander-in-chief of the Astapor Defense Force, and he had the highest command during the war.
"If they don't come to attack the city, don't worry about it." Jorah said without hesitation.
"Commander, those sailors have learned to be smart. When they saw the Megalosaurus flying over their warships, they immediately jumped into the sea. After that, almost no one on the nine ships died. I'm afraid there will be more people gathering later." Missande said.
"How many people can there be at most? More than a hundred ships, at most forty or fifty thousand sailors, but the people who fell into the sea were not wearing armor, and most of the sailors did not even have weapons. How can an army of fifty thousand without armor, horses, or siege equipment attack the city? "Jorah said contemptuously.
"I see." Missande suddenly understood.
At this time, Danny interjected, "Sir Jorah, don't you think the other side is too brave? In just over an hour, more than ten percent of the ships have been lost. Under normal circumstances, they should have scattered and fled. "
Jorah frowned and sighed, "I really hope they are waiting for nightfall. After nightfall, they can avoid the pursuit of the Megalosaurus. But I'm very worried that the other side has some trump card that we don't know about, so I'll deal with all changes by remaining unchanged and let the Unsullied defend the city, absolutely not taking the initiative to attack. "
Danny looked up to the west. The blazing white sun had turned dark red. It was about four o 'clock in the afternoon, and there was still an hour or two before dusk.
Although it was slow to reload, the three dragons could launch three waves of attacks in an hour. Six waves in two hours, eighteen ships …
It didn't make sense.
Even if they raised their sails and fled at full speed, how many ships could they lose? Could it be that the Gith Navy had guessed that they had "small melons" specially equipped for sailing ships?
Uh, a series of incendiary bombs the size of beer bottles tied together to burn the sails.
A dragon could throw four or five times at a time, and because there was no need to dive from a height of two hundred meters, the back and forth speed was faster.
At the same time, Grolle would lead the fleet in pursuit. The Viserys could be called the fastest ship in Slavers Bay, and could be used as the "aircraft carrier" of the "Megalosaurus" to provide ammunition for the three dragons.
It was possible that they would lose more than eighteen ships.
"Eh —" When her gaze swept across the Great Pyramid behind her, Danny's expression changed. She hurriedly picked up her binoculars and looked again …
Sure enough, her Megalosaurus horn was gone.
"Big Black, don't throw the bombs yet. Go to the top garden of the pyramid and take a look." She immediately sent a message to the black dragon in the sky.
Big Black was extremely fast. The pyramid 500 meters away only needed a flap of its wings to fly over.
With just a glance, Danny frowned. There were two corpses hidden in the flowers to the north of the top garden. Two Unsullied with childish faces. Their faces were facing the sky, and their seven orifices were bleeding.
Half a year ago, she received 8,600 Unsullied who had completed their training, and 5,000 Unsullied trainees.
The 5,000 Unsullied followed her to Poplar Slope, and 3,600 Unsullied guarded the city walls. About 1,000 children under the age of 10 were not counted. Half of the 4,000 trainees went to the countryside to maintain order in the village, and 2,000 served as the guards of Astapor City.
During this time, her Great Pyramid was guarded by the Unsullied trainees.
Now the pyramid was infiltrated by the enemy, and her Dragon's Horn was stolen.
