Chapter 739 Lizard Head Base

"what should I do now?"

"Will you become that monster too? Uncle."

Asha Greyjoy saw the fish scales growing on Victarion's back. Although it was only a small piece, it was almost foreseeable that if some means were not used to intervene, it would inevitably grow into that monster in the future.

And Asha's words also silenced Victarion. In fact, he thought of this possibility when he felt the itch on his back and touched the fish scale, but he was still a little reluctant to face it, but His niece's words shattered his fantasy very realistically.

Would you turn into such a monster?

Victarion thought of the scene when the half-human, half-fish monster rushed towards him that night, then clenched his fists slightly, closed his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice.

"no, I can not."

"If there is such a day, I will choose to leave on my own or kill myself."

Although Victarion does not abide by the honor like Eddard Stark and Jon Clinton, he also has his own inner persistence.

On the battlefield he is a calm commander and a valiant warrior, but off the battlefield he often evaluates his enemies with respect.

If he is going to turn into a monster one day, Victarion's favorite way is to jump into the sea and let the Drowned God take him away, but based on what he knows about the monster, this method may not work. .

"It's slowly eating away and changing my body."

And then Victarion said, Asha's cheek showed sadness and he saw it, and then the commander-in-chief of the Iron Fleet frowned.

"You don't have to mourn for me now!"

"I won't die so easily..."

Victarion clenched his fists, feeling that he was fine except for the sudden fainting he had not long ago.

"The great Drowned God will protect me, and I can control this feeling."

The feeling of this change is not very strong. Victarion believes that he can restrain this change in a short time, and maybe he can find a way to cure it and survive.

And if there is no cure, the worst result is nothing more than death.

As a soldier, he was already ready to die at any time, but he did not expect that a person like himself would not die on the battlefield, but instead died of an unknown virus or curse.

And the woman with short black hair calmed down a lot after hearing her uncle's words. Now this change is just the beginning. Victarion should still have a lot of time. If so, the monster that attacked him once Isn't he also a human being?

Reminiscing that the other party had indeed uttered words, Asha shivered slightly. She couldn't accept the departure of her few trusted relatives, nor could she accept that Victarion's final result would change. into this look.

Then Asha opened her mouth. She wanted to say whether there would be any treatment for the group of red-robed monks? After all, the other party has the means to deal with monsters.

But thinking of the scene where the monster was captured and burned alive, Asha immediately backed off, and Victarion also thought of this scene, he shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice.

"If I got into their hands, I might not be able to escape the fate of being burned to death."

"I don't want to be burned alive like that monster. This is not the way an iron species should choose to die."

This group of red-robed monks are extremely paranoid. The world in their eyes is black and white. As long as they can achieve their goals, they will do whatever they can, even without legal and moral constraints. As long as they are crowned with the will of the gods, everything is just.

A cursed person like Victarion might be burned to death without a word in their hands, and he didn't want to throw himself into the trap.

"I still have a few years left, just wait and see."

Then Victarion added in a low voice.

Asha Greyjoy did not find any trace of gold mines on the Golden Head Peninsula, but she did not give up easily.

She decided that her guess was correct.

Therefore, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Fleet ordered the establishment of a small stronghold on the small archipelago called Lizard Head, north of the Jinshou Peninsula, leaving behind two hundred soldiers and ships.

Anyway, Zale Island is only a few days' voyage away from Nas Island. If there are no islands suitable for troops to station near Nas Island, maybe they will come back.

The freshwater resources on Zal Island are scarce, and they mainly rely on the freshwater rivers in the Safflower Valley and Sweet Lotus Valley. The reason why there are no tribes on the Jinshou Peninsula is that there are no freshwater resources.

But this problem is not difficult to solve, because many of the Imperial Fleet are ironmen who used to follow Asha's father, King Balon. The Iron Islands, like the Midsummer Islands, do not have any fresh water resources, so the ironmen are all Groundwater is found by drilling wells.

In the end, with the help of a few experienced old ironmen in the fleet, they found a few places suitable for drilling wells, and then tapped the groundwater. Although the amount of well water was not very large, it was still more than enough to feed the 200 people in this temporary stronghold. of.

Therefore, the fleet of the Empire established a temporary stronghold on the Lizard Head Islands north of the Jinshou Peninsula, cut down trees to make a wall, and also made some wooden houses and tents.

Then, the three-headed fire dragon flag of the royal family of the Valyrian Empire was planted, which was equivalent to declaring temporary sovereignty.

Although the Lizard Head Islands are not on Zal Island, they are very close to the Jinshou Peninsula, even across the sea.

People can see the other side from standing on the coast, but the area of ​​the Lizard Head Islands is very small, and there are no other tribes on the island, so there is only a temporary stronghold for the Imperial fleet.

The chief of the Safflower Valley tribe was still a little concerned when he heard about this. He was worried that this group of foreigners would be plotting evil, but later heard that they only left 200 people, and they settled in Lizard Head. On the archipelago, only then did I feel relieved.

After all, 200 people will not pose a threat to them. At the same time, he also intends to use the name of the imperial fleet to deter the sworn enemy Sweet Lotus Valley tribe on the other side of the same island, so that the other party can be restrained and not so reckless. After all, Sweet Lotus is now The Valley tribe had the upper hand.

Therefore, the chief of the Safflower Valley tribe chose to ignore it in the face of the imperial fleet to set up camp.

Then, a few days later, a thousand golden heart wooden bows were delivered in exchange for some of the supplies on the fleet. Asha left his uncle Victarion as the commander in the stronghold of the Lizardhead Islands, while she herself led the charge. The army rushed to Nas Island.
