In mid-air, the bronze messenger, Antros, reluctantly dropped the sea monster's corpse, which was still half-eaten. The large heads of the sea monsters on the surface of the sea were even more enticing to dragons!
With its extreme speed, Antros shot towards another medium-sized sea monster like an arrow released from a bowstring.
The onlookers in the distance only saw a bronze blur quickly sweeping across the sea, and a sea monster with tentacles over forty meters long was once again successfully caught by Antros in mid-air.
Although the bodies of the octopus sea monsters were covered in smooth mucus, the dragon's claws could easily pierce through their bodies, firmly grasping them in its talons.
Antros's orange-yellow, slightly purplish Dragonflame quickly cooked the sea monster's head. Then, in less than a quarter of an hour, it devoured its entire head, throwing the remaining tentacles directly into the sea before beginning its next hunt.
At this time, the Big-Headed Queen, Simoros, had also finished devouring an entire sea monster. The big-headed dragon, having tasted the sweetness, immediately lowered its flight altitude again. However, unlike the timid and cautious Antros, Simoros specifically sought out the enormous ones.
Soon, a large sea monster near the ruins of the watchtower, attempting to extinguish the green Wildfire on its body with mud and sand, attracted Simoros's attention. This large sea monster, including the length of its tentacles, was already eighty to ninety meters long, which was exactly to Simoros's liking.
"Ongga~"
Although it did not have Antros's extreme speed, a dragon was still a dragon, and even at its slowest, its speed could rival that of a modern airplane, so Simoros reached the sea monster in a few charges.
The large sea monster, sensing danger, immediately swung its tentacles towards Simoros. But facing the physically powerful Simoros, it was clear that even with its enormous size, this large sea monster could not inflict any harm on her.
Simoros dodged the sea monster's tentacle attacks while spewing its scorching Dragonflame.
"Sizzle~"
The tentacles hit by the Dragonflame immediately made sizzling sounds like roasting meat, and a meaty aroma spread.
While the large sea monster was in pain, Simoros's sharp dragon claws instantly grabbed its head. It then immediately rose into the air, causing the tentacles of several sea monsters that had come to ambush from behind to miss completely.
"Crack! Bang!~"
This time, Simoros couldn't even wait to cook the sea monster with Dragonflame first; it directly bit off its large head. The bursting, smooth texture seemed not bad either. However, those strong octopus tentacles were still better when cooked.
"Ong~"
Aposos, who had been entangled with the giant sea monster, had already pulled the over hundred-meter-long giant sea monster out of the sea. However, the sea monster's thick tentacles had already wrapped around his neck.
Although the combat power of the sea monsters was far inferior to that of dragons, their strength was considerable. Dozens of hundred-meter tentacles constricted Aposos, causing him to let out painful roars.
Aposos's explosive Dragonflame had almost cooked the entire giant sea monster, but the tenacious giant sea monster still clung to Aposos stubbornly.
However, Aposos's scales were naturally thicker than those of ordinary dragons, and moreover, he was covered in sharp spikes. When the sea monster's tentacles tightened around his body, they were directly pierced by Aposos's spikes.
This made it difficult for the giant sea monster to even move its tentacles. Its head and most of its tentacles had now been almost cooked by Aposos's Dragonflame. That it was still alive was thanks to the drowned god's blessing.
However, no matter how large or tenacious a sea monster was, it was ultimately made of flesh and blood. Under Aposos's continuous Dragonflame attacks, the giant sea monster's large head finally turned into charcoal.
And several of the tentacles wrapped around Aposos's body were torn off by Aposos's sharp dragon claws.
Finally having dealt with the largest of the sea monsters, Aposos let out an excited dragon's roar.
"Ong Ga~"
Aposos carried the giant sea monster's body to a large giant reef near the watchtower and began to feast. His sharp dragon claws could easily tear apart the giant sea monster's body, and since this giant sea monster was now almost entirely charred, Aposos could eat it directly.
However, while eating, Aposos's eyes remained vigilantly fixed on the sea monsters still stirring up the waters.
Because both watchtowers had been destroyed by the sea monsters, the river-locking iron chain was now unguarded. Those sea monsters, with their enormous tentacles, quickly tore off the coils that secured the thick river-locking iron chain.
With the river-locking iron chain no longer obstructing them, the remaining seventy or eighty Iron Islands longships, accompanied by the excited howls of the Ironborn, charged into Old Town Wharf.
"Why are there only a few dozen large ships?"
Earl Zhuo Gu looked at the empty Oldtown, feeling very strange.
"They must have escaped via the Honeywine River."
Gonsol Guble pointed at the Honeywine River, which had clearly become wider and deeper,
"It seems Princess Daniella is indeed capable. She's only been in control of Oldtown for less than half a year, and she's already raised Oldtown's defensive capabilities to this level."
"I'm afraid we'll have to be even more careful now!"
Earl Zhuo Gu and the leaders of several other prominent families all nodded in agreement.
However, Wei He Luosi was quite dismissive,
"Rodrik, have the sea monsters destroy the defenses on Old Town Wharf. No defense is useful in the face of absolute power!"
Rodrik, like a bloated corpse, once again blew the sea monster horn in his hand,
"Woo woo~"
The sea monsters still battling the three dragons outside the wharf immediately swam quickly towards the wharf. Their enormous bodies generated giant waves dozens of meters high.
However, under Rodrik's control, some sea monsters' tentacles firmly stabilized the Iron Islands longships that were about to capsize.
The giant waves mercilessly destroyed most of Old Town Wharf's piers, then, without losing momentum, crashed directly into the newly built Dragonstone defensive wall of Old Town Wharf. But they were directly blocked by the sturdy and thick defensive wall.
At this time, Rogge was already on-site commanding. Facing the arrogant Ironborn and the Sea Monster, Rogge, who was accustomed to being around dragons every day, did not feel fear; instead, his eyes were filled with bloodthirsty excitement.
There were far more giant crossbows on the Oldtown city walls than on the watchtowers, and the reserves of Wildfire were dozens of times greater. The city's garrison had already witnessed the glorious achievements of their colleagues in the watchtowers earlier. At this point, they were very confident in defeating those sea monsters and the Iron Islands fleet.
Once the Iron Islands fleet and the sea monsters finally entered range, Rogge unhesitatingly gave the order to fire the giant crossbows.
Hundreds of giant crossbow bolts, tied with Wildfire, were launched like a deluge towards the sea monsters and the Iron Islands fleet. Instantly, four or five sea monsters were struck in the head, and the green Wildfire immediately engulfed them.
More than a dozen Iron Islands longships were even more unfortunately pierced by the giant crossbows, and the exploding Wildfire, like a green devil, instantly ignited both the longships and the Ironborn on board.
Even the giant crossbows that missed caused green flames to ignite on the sea surface. Neither the sea monsters nor the Iron Islands fleet dared to approach those areas easily.
