Chapter 698 Clouds of Civil War

The navy of Lys, citing the impending war, stopped the Imperial fleet from continuing southward to visit Lys near the Stepstones.

Therefore, the fleet was forced to temporarily stop on the land of the disputed land to seek supplies.

This land was once a prosperous place under the Valyrian Freehold, but then in the four centuries after the fall of the Freehold, frequent wars broke out here, destroying this prosperity, but it still has great potential.

Asha Greyjoy's fleet was temporarily docked in a disputed place, and a war broke out where the two seas converged.

Maharaja Tyrosi hired many large and small mercenary groups. He accused the Lysians of intending to poison the messenger of the Iron Throne and put the blame on Tyrosi. The most important thing is that Maharaja Tyrosi thought that Reese had robbed Myr. , which is the main reason for the outbreak of this war.

The balance of the Three Sisters Kingdom has long been broken, and the price of the broken balance is that the cloud of war is shrouded in war.

The Rhys had captured Myr, and it was time for the Tyrosians to live and die, so they had to strike first.

Even the Tyroxians did not hesitate to bring wolves into the house, inviting Volantis and the Empire to participate in this war over the sovereignty of the disputed land of Myr.

However, the current ruling party of Volantis is a moderate Elephant Party, with an ambiguous attitude.

On the other hand, the invitation of the Empire's navy to intervene was met with a direct rejection, and Asha Greyjoy would not allow her fleet to participate in this local war, which was ignited by the joint detonation of several trading city-states.

Tyrosh's side was aggressive, and Reese's side naturally showed no weakness. Reese's council of governors denied all allegations about Tyrosh's side, including planning an assassination, framing, and conspiring to Mir.

But then on the side of Mir, the great pirate Sarado Sann, who was nominally the governor of Mir but actually became the prince of Mir, also voiced his support for his hometown.

At the same time, he was also actively preparing for the battle, hiring his old friend Bloodbeard and his 3,000 soldiers to prepare for a deadly battle with the Tyrosh.

This is a life-and-death war between the two sides, and the victory of the Tyrosi people can unify the area of ​​the former Three Daughter Kingdom, including the vast disputed land, and become a real Tyrosi Kingdom.

And the victory of the Lysians is probably the same. Lys embezzled Tyrosh. A Myr who has just been rebuilt from destruction is still not qualified to resist the attack of the Lysians.

However, the dark cloud of the war in the Three Daughter Kingdom was looming, both sides were actively preparing for the war, and the war was almost imminent, but the empire's fleet would not stay here forever, waiting for the war to end before leaving.

Otherwise, the war will last for a year and a half, and will they have to wait here for so long?

The Imperial fleet sailed into the Summer Sea and stopped at the disputed land to seek supplies. A few days later, the fleet continued to move southeast along the coast of Essos to their next destination, Volantis.

Volantis is located in the southeastern corner of the free trade city-state, east of the disputed land, and at the mouth of the Lorne River. It is the closest free trade city-state to Valyria, with a long and powerful history.

At the same time, Volantis is also the absolute overlord of the surrounding area. The three trading city-states of Lys, Tyrosh and Myr once had to join hands to fight against Volantis.

However, now that the Imperial Fleet is heading here, Volantis is a little 'shivering'.

Because the Imperial Fleet's visit was like a disaster, and the place they went to was either an accident or a war broke out.

Asha Greyjoy's fleet visited the kingdom of the three daughters, but only two of the three visited, and the remaining one, Rhys, had not had time to visit, and now the three daughters were about to kill each other into a pot of porridge.

Volantis is also a little worried that the arrival of the empire's fleet will bring this "bad luck" with it?

However, based on Volantis' pride and self-confidence as the 'eldest daughter of Valyria', 'Queen of the Lorne River' and 'The Mistress of the Summer Sea', Volantis still did not refuse the entry of the Imperial fleet like Rhys did.

Instead, they prepared some diplomatic activities this time, but for historical reasons, the Volantis were generally hostile to the Targaryen family.

After all, two of the three consuls in the three giants in power of Volantis are from the Elephant Party, and the Elephant Party's governing philosophy is to conquer the world with trade, and communication and cooperation are naturally indispensable.

The two consuls of the Elephant Party are Dorphas Pannimeen and Neciso Visama, while the only one of the Tiger Party consuls has a relationship with Viserys. Malajo Megaya.

During the last riot in the sea of ​​smoke, Malaccio Megya organized a fleet of twenty ships to explore the ruins of Valyria. His nephew, as the commander-in-chief, Viserys, disguised himself and mixed in. into it.

Their expedition went as far as the city of Valyria, the capital of the fortress of freedom. In the end, there was a riot in the ruins, and demonized monsters were rampant. Except for Viserys, and the then-mercenary Mia and Dr. Marwin. No one escaped anymore.

Time flies, the clouds of war in the Stepstone region hang over, and the fleet of the Empire on the sea is about to reach Volantis.

On the other side, there is a remote and unknown area of ​​Westeros, a region that human beings have never set foot in, because cold and terrifying white enemies can be seen everywhere.

Bunyan Stark rode the skeleton horse and followed the White Walkers in front of him. He didn't know how far he had walked, and how long he had walked, the sky above them was gradually darkening.

At the beginning, Bunyan didn't realize it, but as it went deeper and deeper, even the cold-resistant trees and all life had disappeared, and the surroundings were full of dead silence, only the icy cold wind whistled.

Only then did Bunyan notice the obvious change in the time of day and night. The time of day seemed to be getting shorter and shorter, and the time of night was getting longer and longer.

Sometimes even a few hours during the day pass, while the long night often takes several days to pass.

But the long night was not alone, because the skeleton horse never knew how to get tired, and so did Bunyan himself.

Sometimes he could not help but be intoxicated by the splendid psychedelic light of the northern sky in the dark night while riding on horseback.

However, after an unknown amount of time, the White Walker in front of him finally stopped.
