Chapter 268 Essos in the Shadow of the Gods
Outside Bravos' long coastline, on the vast and calm deep blue sea, a huge three-masted sailing fleet with Mill's black sails scattered everywhere, and the vast fleet broke through the layers of water waves and marched forward quickly, like giant black fish.
On one of the battleships with extremely gorgeous decorations, the governors of Mill, one of the nine free city-states, were gathered together to discuss.
It is worth mentioning that on the main mast rod on this ship, two crows stood respectively, one of which was black all over, with black pupils, while the other had a pair of white claws.
Since going out to sea, the two crows stared at the sky in the west direction of Esos. It had been a day, and they were still moving like statues.
At this moment, the two crows of different colors reflected the same scene in their dark eyes.
It was a strange scene spreading in the sky at Port Bravosmil. A huge but rotating black vortex appeared in the sky, and there were constant dull vibrations in the center of the vortex.
Under the vortex, red lights tear apart the dark vortex, dyeing the heaven and earth brightly red.
The bright red seemed to contain terrifying enthusiasm. In the sun, a trace of white air that could be seen with naked eyes was steaming. Anyone who looked up at the sky seemed to feel the temperature of the bright redness and the redness fell on his cheeks.
On the Black Mill that day after leaving the port, the leader of the Governor General Mill and the Grand Governor Kaia Mill sat quietly at the top of the boardroom in the boat building. His face was full of thick beards and his expression was not clear.
now.
On his left hand, Governor Chopper, former president of the Mill Chamber of Commerce, stood up, looked around, and looked at the people with different faces and said, "Governors, we have one day left to cross the narrow sea and enter the scope of the Eastern Continent. Are you considering which port to land in Westeros?"
I heard someone proactively make a proposal.
Governor Andy, who once monopolized the lens business in Mill City, looked very bad, and his pale face was full of anxiety.
The east coast of Esos changed the day within three days, and strange weather broke out everywhere.
For example, some places lose the sun's exposure, even during the day, the entire city is still in endless darkness, while some places have heavy snow that has not been seen in a thousand years. Hail as big as a stone can smash the buildings of residential buildings, and the strange blizzard seems to never stop, and heavy snow gradually covers the city.
A black vortex that could reflect red light appeared in the sky above Mill City where the people on the ship were. The vortex absorbed heat within a radius of hundreds of miles, making the earth extremely bitter and cold, and countless people were frozen to death.
The bad weather is said to have covered the entire continent from west to east of Esos, and some people call this catastrophe the arrival of the gods.
Because there are strange wizards with unpredictable abilities in many places.
Andy used a limited twenty cargo ships to transfer all his finances and a thousand-man slave army, hurriedly with other great nobles of Mill, preparing to cross the strait and look for a glimmer of life eastward.
A chaotic era is coming.
There was not enough army, so at the Governor's meeting, Andy could not make much noise.
Despite this, Governor Andy frowned and sighed to express his thoughts.
"I heard that the joint fleet formed by Bravos and Rollas City went to the northern border of Westeros. Pantos and Tylosi planned to seize the upper reaches of the east coast of the Westeros Valley by force. These are places with few naval forces. There are not many places where we can choose to land. I heard that the valley navy is strong, just as they refuse us to enter the port, our warships may not be enough..."
"Why go further south of Westeros? I heard that the barbarians in the Golden Field plundered the ships under the giant god arm of the nine free cities, and set out from the flat coast, intending to go to King's Landing to try their luck." Someone suggested.
Governor Andy frowned, "Why do we have to fight? We are fleeing. As governors of the free city-state, we have established a trade friendship with the nobles of Westeros, and we feel that we can spend money to buy territory from the nobles of Westeros and rebuild our homes."
Chopper sneered, "Friendship? Our fleet brings our family's huge wealth that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Faced with these wealth, do you think the nobles of Westeros will talk to us about friendship? I know you know Jon, the bronze earl of Fushishi City, but he probably has no time to take you in."
Andy wondered, "Why? Fury Stone City has a good navy. Is there any Ursos family who intends to try the edge of the bronze warship?"
"Hmph, are there only nine free city-states in the map of your mind?"
"What do you want to express?"
"I tell you, the gods in the inland arrived ten days earlier than our east coast. They discovered the vision ten days ago and set out to the east, the slave owners near the trembling sea in the north, the archipelago masters of Valyria in the south, and even the eastern part of the Summer Sea, and they will sooner or later discover that the entire continent of Esos was in the shadow of the gods, and the nine free city-states are no exception. What do you think they will do at that time?"
Governor Andy absorbed the message in shock.
He swallowed deeply. If it were as Chopper said, then all the free people and slave owners with ships in the Esos continent would eventually gather in the narrow sea for survival. The entire Westeros continent would not only face the refugees from the nine free castles, but also take over almost half of the people of the Esos continent.
Governor Andy dared not guess what terrible things will happen when so many chaotic forces poured into the same continent, but he was sure that a war for land and living space would inevitably break out.
Now, not only Andy's expression was ugly, but all the Governor Mill present had a look of fear. As the nobles of the Free City-State, they knew very well how savages, slave owners and free people in the inland Essos were, and they were afraid even if they thought about it.
Someone retreated and said, "However, we go to Yaxia, it is safe. After all, there is a shadowy place where the old warlocks are in order."
Someone immediately replied disdainfully: "It's too late, Yasha is in the west of the mainland, and the inland people without ships in Esos will flock there. Now I'm afraid there will be no place to live."
Grand Governor Kaia Millan sat in the first place and saw the look of the Governor in front of the conference table.
The air was silent for a moment.
Grand Governor Kaia Mill knocked on the table with a delicately carved mountain wood hammer and stood up.
Kaia Mill looked around and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I have another message to provide to everyone."
The atmosphere of silence was broken, and all the governors' eyes instantly turned to their great governors.
The Grand Governor Kaia Mill paused first, and then continued to speak: "The Targaryen family of the Dragon Tribe in Westeros has a girl who is strayed from Esos. She inherited the blood of the dragon tribe. She first hatched three Yaxia dragon eggs, and then collected an adult dragon that came from somewhere. Now she has more than 100,000 troops, including the famous second son of Slave Bay.
Now, this huge fleet has crossed the narrow sea from the Summer Sea of Esos, reaching her hometown, the sea of Westeros Island."
A fat governor stood up, as a slave trader of Mill, his family had thirty warships filled with slave troops, and had excellent combat power through simple armament. He was already the strongest military in the Governor's Council.
"We have also heard about this. Dragon Stone Island is very close to Junlin, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, so I am not optimistic about the barbarians from the Golden Field going to Junlin to try their luck."
Grand Governor Kaia Mill squinted his eyes and said deeply: "Governor Quetta, you don't understand what I mean. Our Mill City is the city-state with the least army of the nine free city-states. Without other cities joining us, it is difficult for us to gain a foothold in Westeros. Instead of doing so, we might as well seek to join the descendant of the Dragon Clan. In the future, she will inherit Westeros rule. We Mill nobles can still gain a foothold in Westeros."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned. A hint of heart-warming gaze flashed in the eyes of many weak governors.
