Chapter 525 War Elephant

"Seven layers of hell!"

"What the hell is this monster?"

Stannis rode on the warhorse and looked at the cavalry of the Targaryen family who kept coming up from both sides in the distance, but his eyes all fell on the dozens of huge monsters.

Even his face was ashen, and he couldn't help but swear.

He had never seen such a rough gray-skinned monster with a huge body, two giant fangs, and a long nose.

The opponent's body is extremely large, and a monster with a long nose can support almost ten war horses. Especially after wearing armor, it is invulnerable. Accompanied by the cavalry of the Targaryen family, it rushed into the flank of the army of the storm land, tearing like a tear. The formation of the army.

"what--"

The shrill screams continued.

The monster opened the huge mouth of the abyss and let out a melodious roar. With a flick of its thick and powerful nose, it knocked several armored storm soldiers flying, just like driving away a few chickens.

Even rolled up a person and fell to the ground.

"Bam—"

Across the armor storm, the soldiers didn't even let out a scream. They were thrown on the spot and spat out blood, their internal organs were shattered, and then the iron hoofs of the cavalry that rushed up were trampled into flesh.

"It's a grey elephant! Lord Stannis!"

The Onion Knight, who was riding a warhorse beside Stannis, spoke at this moment, solving Stannis' doubts.

Davos recognized at a glance what this 'monster' was that scared the soldiers of the storm.

After all, he once led his smuggling fleet to many city-states in the world, and he was eloquent and knowledgeable.

"It is different from the dwarf elephants of Volantis. The gray elephants are larger in size, tougher in skin, and more grumpy. They live in groups and usually live near the land of Longxia."

Davos spoke quickly.

"Volantis also has a troop of war elephants, they"

"Okay, don't talk nonsense now, Davos, is there any way they can deal with it?"

And the war has entered a white-hot state, Stannis's face no longer has the calmness and composure, his brows are furrowed, and his voice unconsciously becomes anxious.

The infantry of the two armies fought head-on, and then the front line retreated a few steps, but the overall battle situation was acceptable. However, after the cavalry and war elephant troops of the Targaryen family rushed in from the flanks, they completely disrupted the resistance of the Stormland army to resist the attack. Rhythm.

When the soldiers faced such a behemoth they had never seen before, the frightened souls all fled, they put down their weapons and turned around and ran away. Even the people who were hit and trampled to death by elephants did not escape.

The front of the Stormland army became shaken again, and even had a tendency to retreat. Of course, Stannis couldn't sit still.

"This…"

"How to deal with war elephants?"

Hearing the words of Lord Stannis, Davos took a deep breath, and his brain began to operate rapidly.

This is really difficult for the Onion Knight.

You must know that Davos Seaworth doesn't even know two big characters, and he has never read any so-called military books. He was originally just the leader of a smuggling fleet. Articulate and flexible.

But neither fighting nor fighting is his forte.

"How to deal with war elephants"

Davos racked his brains and thought about it, but he didn't expect that it really made him think of one thing.

Once when he was smuggling a batch of goods, there were a few ivory of gray elephants among them. He had a few words with the mercenary who sold the goods.

When they hunted these gray elephants, they first used some loud horns and horns of war drums to disturb the elephants, so that the gray elephants fled in all directions, and then seized the opportunity to ride horses to hunt and kill one of the gray elephants. elephant.

"My lord, I think of a way."

Davos then organized the language and told Stannis the story he had heard.

"Quick! Get all the horn players!"

And Stannis didn't hesitate after hearing it, he waved his hand decisively, and ordered all the trumpeters under his command to come over and blow at the group of gray elephants, trying to scare them away.

However, at this moment, the war elephants of the Golden Corps cooperated with the cavalry to rush into the storm army and created great results. Before the storm army could figure out the correct way to deal with the elephants, a low voice suddenly came from above their heads. growl.

"Ho-"

A huge black shadow covered the sky and the sun, and the two sides who were fighting fell into this shadow.

"what?"

A soldier in the Storm Land Army couldn't help but raised his head, and then saw a terrifying figure above his head, his eyes widened and he was dumbfounded.

"dragon"

"Is this the dragon?"

Immediately, the figure of the giant dragon passed over their heads, but this panic was spreading rapidly.

"Hey, the tyrant's dragon you said just now is not as big as Aegon's, but it is."

In the fierce battle, the storm army was in chaos, and people shouted horses neighing, seeming to be frightened by the size of the giant dragon that had just appeared.

However, in the rear of the Storm Land army, where countless giant crossbows were densely lined up, they had waited too long.

"Dragon!"

"The dragon has appeared!"

"This damn beast!"

Instead of panic, they became excited when they saw the figure of Bellerion, because Stannis had built countless giant crossbows to deal with the dragon, and he had been fully prepared.

And Stannis promised that he would reward one thousand golden dragons for hitting a giant dragon with one arrow. If he could shoot the giant dragon from the sky, he could choose the castles in the seven kingdoms. If he was a noble, he could also reward him with another castle.

One step from a commoner to a nobleman, and a noble can win two castles with the same surname, how can these soldiers and nobles in the storm land not be moved?

So they've waited too long for Balerion to appear.

"Kill this beast for me!"

Immediately, a knight in Stormland pulled out his long sword and roared angrily.

bang bang bang-

The bowstring burst out with thunder, and a long crossbow arrow ripped through the air and made a screeching sound, flying straight into the sky.

Even one of them flew into the air by rubbing Balerion's wings, and then fell.

The dragon, which was descending and breathing flames, was startled, and then fluttered its wings to raise its height.

"Roar--"

Balerion spotted the giant crossbow on the ground and let out a low roar.

Obviously these little things reminded him of bad memories.

Then, instead of running away, he seemed to be provoked. He let out a deafening roar again, and then swung his wings and wrapped the gust of wind, swooping down towards the giant crossbow group on the ground.

At the same time, he opened his mouth wide, and a firelight lit up his throat.
