Chapter 36

June 284.

Three months passed quickly.

Thick clouds piled up in the dull sky, as if a heavy rain was coming.

What the naked eye can see in the distance is a storm brewing, lightning, rainstorm and wind.

Under this natural disaster, warships spread out their formation on the sea and sailed silently. Driving into the distance.

Wesselis was standing on the second floor of the deck of the black death, facing the roaring sea wind, his long silver blond hair fluttered wantonly with the wind, revealing his white forehead.

The boy wore clean and tidy leather armor, inlaid with metal pieces in key parts such as chest and abdomen to protect the vital points, wore a short sword at his waist, held a bow in his hand and carried an arrow bag on his back, looking heroic and valiant.

On the deck under him, there were many soldiers busy with their own affairs. They pulled down the raised sails, fixed the things that could not be dragged to the warehouse on the deck, and made every effort to prepare for the coming storm.

"A storm is coming."

"Your Highness."

And at this time.

Behind wesselis came a hoarse voice of the vicissitudes of life. It was Sir Jeffrey, commander of the dragonstone fleet.

Now the little old man has changed his casual clothes and armor, because they are not far from the destination of this trip.

"Why did you choose this time to attack?"

As a veteran who has been wandering at sea for most of his life, sir Jeffrey is no stranger to storms. The sky near Longshi island was gloomy and terrible half a month ago. It seems that a big storm is coming.

Sir Jeffrey originally decided to let all the ships of the longstone Island fleet shrink in the port these days, waiting for the passage of the storm surge.

According to the old Sir's experience in the sea during his half life, the storm is not terrible. As long as he doesn't go to sea in the coming days and fix the ship with ropes, the loss from a storm won't be too great.

However, for some reason, wesselis wanted to launch a surprise attack on the belathian fleet being built by Fengxi castle at this time.

The reason he gave was that the enemy would not expect them to launch a surprise attack when the storm was coming.

And at this time, we can work hard to destroy all the enemy's warships and deal a heavy blow to the enemy's morale.

This "half crossing attack" is more useful than harassing Fengxi castle from the beginning to prevent them from building a fleet.

And it can also lead the fleet to successfully avoid the attack of this storm surge.

However, although wesselis is eloquent, the content is a little dry and does not have much weight.

And this is actually a very risky behavior.

But what everyone didn't expect was that after careful consideration, the old Sir actually agreed to wesselis's bold adventure.

So the Longshi Island fleet pulled out its anchor and set sail, escaped from the vortex center of the approaching storm at the fastest speed, crossed the Blackwater Bay and throat, bypassed the sharp corner and drove far away.

Everything was fine at the beginning. The fleet left Longshi Island early and evacuated before the storm.

However, in the next few days, the fleet crossed the sea, and the old Sir's heart became colder and colder, even faintly afraid.

Because the fleet has sailed continuously for several days and has not gone out of the coverage of this storm, we can see how huge the scale of this storm will be.

If he didn't listen to wesselis, he stubbornly decided to let the fleet stop at the port in the hope that he could carry through the storm.

Now I'm afraid this royal fleet will be hit hard and almost completely swallowed up by the sea.

So he wondered how wesselis made such a judgment and why he asked the fleet to leave Longshi island for an expedition at the critical period when the queen was about to give birth.

Did the boy also predict that this storm would be unprecedented?

"Did your highness guess anything?"

The old Sir asked curiously.

And at this time.

Boom——

The sea was rough, and the surging waves hit the deck hard. The storm finally caught up with the fleeing Longshi Island fleet half a month later.

WOW——

A heavy rain fell in an instant, wantonly venting the anger accumulated in recent days. The soldiers on the bottom deck were busy fixing the things on the deck.

Wesselis stood above and grasped the railing. The sea breeze roared into his ears, almost drowning the sound of the two people's conversation.

The boy struggled to hear Sir Jeffrey, then shook his head and responded loudly.

"No!"

"I guess so!"

However, the old jazz was not satisfied with the answer. He also grabbed the railing and looked up at the dark sky in the distance. The crackling rain was pouring down, the wind was fierce and the rain was pouring down.

"Oh, really?"

Then he took back his eyes to the distance, turned around and gave the boy a meaningful look.

Since a face-to-face meeting three months ago, sir Jeffrey felt that the boy seemed to have some magic, sometimes smart and sometimes stupid.

The reason why he promised wesselis such an adventurous move and set out on an expedition before the storm was coming was that he received a letter from Xuecheng not long ago.

The University City has a bachelor who is specially responsible for observing celestial phenomena. In recent years, he has sent letters to the whole city island port on the east coast of Westeros.

All of them show that according to the observation of the Bachelor of astronomy, the narrow sea will produce the most powerful storm surge in history in the near future.

The Bachelor of astronomy wearing a bronze collar predicted that the largest storm surge vortex in Westeros history would be near Longshi island.

Xuecheng did not change its attitude because of the change of the Iron Throne. The purpose of the bachelors is to serve all mankind. The bachelors, like the brothers of the night watchman, are considered to be the servants of Westeros.

Any bachelor has no political inclination in theory.

Therefore, they also sent a letter to Longshi island to send a warning message.

At first, however, sir Jeffrey did not take it seriously.

But as the terrible sky became more and more obvious, the old jazz couldn't help beating the drum, but he didn't make up his mind after all.

After all, the queen is about to give birth. The fleet should guard on the side of Longshi island to prevent any accidents again.

However, wesselis's words were like the last straw to overwhelm the camel. Finally, the old Sir made up his mind and led the fleet out of Longshi island.

If the fleet were all buried in the storm, the Queen's safety could not be guaranteed.
