Chapter 359: Landing(1/4)

 Viserys Targaryen noticed Jorah at the wedding ceremony of his sister Daenerys Targaryen and Khal Drogo in Pentos and recruited him into his service.

But on the other hand, in order to obtain royal pardon, Jorah secretly reported to Varys every move of the remaining forces of the Targaryen family.

Jorah was present when Viserys was buckled into the "Crown", and it was he who prevented Daenerys from seeing this tragedy.

Jorah begins to fall in love with Dany and prevents a wine seller from assassinating Dany.

Before Khal Drogo's death, Jorah still loyally guarded Dany and killed Khal's bloodrider Corso in a decisive battle.

Jorah finally witnessed the birth of the dragon with his own eyes, and along with everyone else, swore allegiance to Dany and called her queen.

After experiencing a lot together, Jorah began to fall in love with the young and beautiful Daenerys, and at this moment he stopped reporting Dany's situation to the Iron Throne.

His last piece of information came from Qarth.

He was ordered by Dany to go to the dock, hoping to find a ship to take them back to Westeros, where a stranger foiled the assassination attempt on Dany by the Regret Guest.

The stranger called himself Astan the Whitebeard, and claimed that Illyrio had sent him and "Strong Man" Belwas to take Dany and her people back to Pentos. They also brought three ships.

Ser Jorah finally expressed his feelings for Daenerys.

When he was alone with her in the ship's bedroom, he kissed her.

Jorah kept expressing his undying love to Daenerys and suggested that they get married.

But she always refuses.

It was Ser Jorah who suggested to Dany to go to Astapor, where only Dothraki and Common were spoken, showing his thoughtful side, and Dany later succeeded in buying the Unsullied.

Subsequently, he commanded Dany's army to capture Yunkai.

At this time, Gao Bin asked someone to find Jorah, and used threats and inducements to force him to continue passing on information.

Jorah must be reluctant. To put it another way, he is a knight who loves beauty but not country.

But there is one thing he will not refuse, which is the glory of the family.

His family comes from Bear Island, a remote island in the north. Before Aegon landed, this was the territory of the Mormont family. It is located in Ice Bay.

The gate to the Mormont family's courtyard is made of stone, and there are many mud fences surrounding it.

A woman wearing a bearskin is carved on the doorway.

A child drinks milk from one of her arms, while she holds a tomahawk in the other hand. Except for the sharecroppers, the residents of Bear Island all live on the coast.

Before the Ironborn captured the island, it was once ruled by the Woodford family.

Since the green tree appeared on the family crest of the ruling family of the Iron Islands at that time, it indicates that they probably succeeded the Woodford family and occupied Bear Island at that time.

In the era when Rodrik Stark became King in the North, the Stark won Bear Island from the Ironborn through a wrestling match.

Afterwards, Rodrik Stark gave Bear Island to the Mormont family.

In the old days, Ironborn or wildlings from the frozen coast often raided Bear Island.

Because the men on the island will go fishing at this time, the women have to shoulder the mission of fighting against the invaders.

This also formed a unique warrior culture among the women of Bear Island.

Jorah, who was born in the Mormont family, always wants to restore the glory of the family. You must know that the Mormont family cannot raise its head in the north. A large part of the reason is his fault. He also knows that it is because of him that Bear Island is a popular place.

.

Now he was given the opportunity to restore his family's glory, and he couldn't miss it no matter how reluctant he was.

As long as he wins the battle with Dragon Mother, Gao Bin's rule in this world will be completely established.

In other words, as long as he kills Dragon Mother's three giant dragons, Gao Bin can declare his invincibility.

As for the White Walkers, although he values ​​them, he doesn't take them too seriously. People are more terrifying than ghosts.

Thanks to Jorah's help, the Westerosi navy blocked the west coast of the East Road, making it impossible to get in or out.

The Eastern Continent, which relies on trade to survive, has become headless for a while, and they are almost at the end of their rope.

At this time, civil strife will inevitably occur.

Long Ma, who had made adequate preparations and prepared for a decisive battle with Gao Bin, had to change her focus and quell the civil strife first.

To be honest, Dragon Mother doesn't want to take care of it herself, but she can't resist these people who like to backstab. If the civil strife is not calmed down, she can't concentrate on dealing with the continent of Westeros.

The dragon ascended to the sky, and the people of the Eastern Continent once again witnessed the terror of the dragon.

The naval fleets far away at sea also witnessed this horrific scene.

They have slender necks and tails, with many spikes growing along their backs.

When hatched, the young are only about the size of a kitten, but an adult dragon can grow large enough to swallow a whole mammoth in one bite.

The skulls of the Targaryens' dead dragons were extremely beautiful, black as onyx, smooth and bright, shining under the torch, and their teeth were like scimitars made of black diamonds.

Due to the high iron content, the dragon's bones appear black, but the material is extremely light and tough. It can be used to make bows and arrows. The Dothraki, who are good at riding and archery, regard dragon bone bows as rare treasures.

But at this time, no one cares about diluting the treasure. After flying, the dragon covers the sky and gives the fleet soldiers a strong sense of oppression. No one can survive under such terror!

To a certain extent, having a giant dragon is equivalent to a nuclear weapon in the modern world, and it is completely a strategic weapon.

Moreover, it has the ability to fly, has almost unlimited mobility, can spray deadly flames, and can kill buildings and troops on the ground with one strike. The dragon scales around it are extremely hard, and ordinary swords and even bows and arrows have no effect at all.<

/p>

Therefore, a giant dragon can easily destroy an army, burn a castle, or even overwhelm a country.

It is quite difficult to slay a dragon.

But in fact, in the context of low magic, dragons have always been at the top of power. For example, Smaug in "The Hobbit", a single dragon caused the powerful dwarf kingdom to collapse, and the Elf King was defeated.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

You must know that the combined armies of these two countries are more than tens of thousands, but there is still nothing they can do.

It has no magic in itself, it is just thick-skinned, can breathe fire, fly, and is huge and powerful, making it unmatched on the battlefield.

Whether in terms of size, strength or the power of spitting fire, Smaug far exceeds the dragon in Game of Thrones

By the way, Smaug is far behind the dragons of the First Era. The most powerful dragon, Ankara, once defeated the allied forces of the gods. Compared with him, Smaug is almost as small as a sparrow.

, humans cannot compete with this kind of ancient evil.

In Game of Thrones, the Night King's slaying of the dragon is undoubtedly a controversial scene. As the leader of the White Walkers, the Night King only relied on the strength of his arms to throw an ice spear and kill the dragon that breathed fire in the air.

The ice spear triggered the flames in the dragon's body, causing it to self-destruct. This undoubtedly elevated the Night King's power to an almost desperate level.

The three-headed dragon can only be solved by three ice spears. Humans have almost no hope of winning in a fight with him, so the ending of the Night King's assassination once again made the public's glasses shattered...

If humans want to deal with dragons, it is obvious that they cannot rely on personal bravery and must think of various tricks to deal with them.

In the original book, Queen Cersei got an anti-dragon weapon, which looked like a huge crossbow.

They have huge bow arms, rely on winches to pull the bow strings, and fire huge arrows.

It seems that the fantasy world still abides by the laws of physics. It uses a powerful bow arm to fire heavy iron arrows and uses the huge kinetic energy generated at high speed to penetrate the hard dragon scales. The principle is basically the same as that of modern armor-piercing bullets.

This kind of weapon is not actually a setting in fantasy novels, but actually exists in history, but the ancients improved and upgraded it.

Because they found that just relying on enlarging and thickening the bow arms would make the entire device too heavy and inefficient, they came up with a very clever way to use ropes as energy storage devices.

In this way, the energy of the bow and arrow can be significantly increased without a large increase in the overall weight. This is a crossbow.

The ballistae is also an important weapon for capturing a castle. Of course, it can also be used as a defensive weapon. After occupying a favorable terrain, you can give full play to its firepower.

For example, in "The Hobbit", the dwarf kingdom placed iron bows on the city walls and fired powerful black arrows.

This kind of bow has two bow arms, arranged symmetrically. The arrow is shot from the hole at the intersection of the two bow arms. It seems to be quite scientifically designed, but it still relies on the bow arm to store power. It can be regarded as another version of the bed crossbow.

A look.

As can be seen from its name, the bow arm is made of steel. Although steel has extremely high elasticity, its energy storage is quite poor.

In fact, it is not a good material for making crossbows.

Many medieval steel crossbows had a bow power of hundreds or even a thousand pounds. Although the armor-piercing arrows they fired could penetrate armor, they were too heavy and cumbersome to string, so they could only be used as defensive weapons.

Although the weapon of the ballistae is larger than the ordinary crossbow, its biggest advantage is that the upper limit of energy storage is much higher than that of the crossbow. As long as you choose a larger and thicker rope, you can launch larger stone projectiles and heavier long-distance missiles.

Spear.

Its range and accuracy are also very impressive, and there are many amazing records of ballistae in history.

A ballista with good performance can project a 26-kilogram stone projectile 300 yards away.

When the arrogant Alexander the Great was fighting against Persia, a spear fired from a ballista shot down from the city wall, directly piercing his bronze shield and piercing the breastplate. If the angle had been more correct, Alexander would have died.

Guaranteed.

If there is a dense formation, the spear fired by the ballista can even penetrate two to three people and pin them to the ground together. The armor at that time was completely unable to resist.

When a large number of ballistae were gathered together, the ancient fire bombing was formed. The mud bullets or stone bullets they fired were like sledgehammers falling from the sky to the infantry.

No matter it is a shield or armor, it is difficult to withstand it. The Roman ballistae can even blast the enemy to pieces from a distance of 400 meters.

Therefore, to deal with creatures like giant dragons, ballistas are definitely the best choice.

However, it is not easy to achieve success.
