Take the ride to dominate the game

Chapter 155 Euron
Crabpaw Peninsula, Dreadnest Hold.

The non-stop waves beat against the rocky cliffs all day long, and three crooked towers stood on the edge of the high cliffs. The Crows Cave flag of the local lord Brunn family was planted at the highest end of this dilapidated castle.

After landing a little further to the west, King Hejian led his people straight to the destination.

There are not many members of the Brunn family in Dreadnest Castle, and the house governor is Eustace Brune, an elderly nobleman.

Right now, the old nobleman is entertaining distinguished guests with dragons in his hall.

"My old god, it's actually a real dragon."

Lying on the narrow window of the hall, Eustace watched Alduin soaring outside in amazement.

"Aren't you the model subjects of the dragon family that you call yourself? Now I need your soldiers to end this endless war for me."

After looking greedily for a few more times, Baron Eustace turned his head and looked at the tall King of the River, Arthur.

"That's right, we are model subjects of the dragon family. Once the Targaryen family is called, our Brunn family will fight for the dragon kings together with the Boggs family, Cave family, Hardy family, and Paine family." .”

Arthur was satisfied with this statement, "Very well, then go gather your soldiers and fight for me."

Baron Brun walked towards the main seat of the castle, sat down slowly, and said leisurely, "But I heard that your surname is Bracken, not Targaryen."

"I already have a dragon, so does it matter what my surname is? Apart from the blood of the dragon family, who else can win the favor of the dragon?"

Arthur didn't expect this stubborn little nobleman to be entangled in the small issue of his surname. In his past experience, as long as Alduin appeared, the lords who were originally loyal to the Long family bowed down and swore their allegiance on the spot.

"The surname is the most important thing. Joffrey Layton in the western region also changed his surname to inherit the title of King of Casterly Rock from his father-in-law. If you still bear Bracken's surname, you will have a dragon, so that's okay. Not a member of the Dragon King family." Eustace said.

The Joffrey Lydon he was talking about was the son-in-law of Gerald Lannister III.Because Jello III had only one daughter, he changed his surname from his son-in-law and inherited the title of King of Casterly Rock.

"I promise to change my surname back to Targaryen at the right time. You should be satisfied now!" King Hejian said in a tough tone.

Eustace shook his head, "No, promises won't work. We must change our surname before we can send troops."

The two stared wide-eyed, and Princess Dorne hurried forward to make a rescue.

"There is nothing wrong with His Majesty Arthur's lineage, as evidenced by the fire-breathing dragon. Well, Your Majesty swears to the gods that at such and such a point in time, the change of surname will be completed. It is now a time of great war. Once the surname is changed, the coat of arms will be changed. And a large number of flags, and the burqas on the soldiers, it is still quite troublesome."

Arthur himself didn't insist on the surname Bracken, he was still named Lee in his previous life.The reason why Bracken's surname has been dragged on is that apart from changing the coat of arms and changing the flag, it is also necessary to give the vassals an accurate and correct statement.

You must know that the genealogy of all nobles is clear and checkable. Rumors can be made up randomly, but the things recorded in the family tree cannot be messed up.

After discussing back and forth with Eustace for a long time, King Hejian and Eustace finally reached a condition that both of them agreed with.

Now in the 299th year of the conquest, after Arthur swore to restore the Targaryen surname within the first half of the 300th year of the conquest, Eustace swore allegiance on behalf of the Brune family of Dreadnest.

"We can provide you with 150 men who can bear arms."

After kneeling to take the oath, Baron Brune introduced his troops to the king.

Seeing the three dilapidated towers of Brun's house, Arthur didn't have much hope.For a baronial family, 150 soldiers is already a lot.

Eustace himself was old and infirm, and it was his son who led the King round most of the castles in Crab Claw in the next few days.

After meeting the dragon Alduin and hearing the king's oath, more than a dozen small families including Boggs, Kaifer, Hardy, and Paine pledged their allegiance one after another.

They provided Arthur with a total of [-] strong men with weapons. As for armor, most ordinary soldiers only have pot-shaped helmets, and only members of the lord's family have iron armor, and they also wear chain mail that only covers the torso and arms Mainly.

The commander of this army was Baron Brunn's distant relative, the landed knight of Brown Hole Hill, Bennard Brune.

Under the leadership of this middle-aged knight, the aboriginal soldiers of the Crab Claw Peninsula will gather in Maiden Springs City, and garrison Maiden Springs City with the soldiers of Earl William Mooton until Arthur leads his army south.

As for King Hejian himself, he took a boat with people and headed towards Yanchang Town from the waters of Crab Bay.

He had to take Alduin to set a fire on the south side of the Bright Moon Mountain Range.

……

The waters west of the Reach, Oakshield Island.

Oakshield Isle is the northernmost island of the Shield Islands, located west of Highgarden, and is believed to be a shield against the Iron Islands from harassing the Mander River valley.

The Shield Archipelago is the collective name of four islands: Greenshield Isle under the name of the Chesta family, Grayshield Isle under the rule of the Green family, Oakshield Isle under the name of the Hewitt family, and Southshield Isle under the name of the Siri family.

Along the jagged coastlines of the islands, old greybeards still keep watch in watchtowers, in ancient tradition.Whenever a longship was in sight, they would light the beacons in the lighthouses, and the message would go from hill to hill, and island to island, and nearby villages and castles would be ready.

But now, these cordons have failed, and Lord Hewitt's castle has been taken by the ironmen led by Euron Greyjoy.

In the dim castle hall, many ironmen were having a party, and they didn't even fear the eyes of others, and started doing it in the hall.

Lord Humphrey Hewitt himself was also captured by the ironmen, tied to a bench in a crucifixion posture, and watched helplessly as his daughter and granddaughter were raped by the ironmen.

The most beautiful, Faria Flower, was taken by Euron Greyjoy, Lord of the Ironmen.

Euron, who was still handsome and very strong, was lying on the main seat, and Faria was sitting on his lap, with his hands wrapped around the neck of the ironborn king.

"Listen, have you seen my father's beautiful wives? And my sisters, you can make them take off their clothes and serve your soldiers."

Euron stroked the place he wanted for a while, and then whispered in Faria's ear: "You are such a vicious woman, why do you treat your stepmother and sisters like this?"

From the surname of Buddha, Euron could know that Faria was the illegitimate daughter of Lord Humphrey Hewitt, but he still didn't know why Faria asked for it.

"Because they used me as a maid, let me do the laundry, mop the floor, clean the toilet all day long, live with the servants, and serve my sisters. Although my mother came from a lower family background, I am also the daughter of an earl. You can do this kind of rough work."

"Understood." Euron smiled seductively, turned Faria's head, and kissed her deeply.

After about an dong, Euron was done.He put a piece of clothing on his back, and began to slap the wooden table in front of him vigorously.

"Calm down, we have achieved an unprecedented victory in this battle, and I want to reward those who have made merit."

In the previous naval battle, Euron sent Torvald "Brown Fang" and Red Bruiser to lead his longship along the main channel of the Mander River to lure away the fleet of the Shield Islands.

After the four coalition forces of Hewitt, Green, Chesta, and Desiree sensed something was wrong and led their fleet back to help, the longships of the Iron Islands had already set up an ambush and captured them at the cost of only six ships. 38 longships, and quite a few nobles of the bay.

Of course, the Shield Islands also fell into the hands of the Ironborn.

After the king prepared to confer rewards, the chaos in the hall quickly disappeared, and the ironmen sat or stood, all pricked up their ears, listening carefully to what the leader said.

"...Because of your military exploits, I decided to award Barber Newt the position of leader of Oakshield Island, Adric the leader of Southshield Island, and Marlon Womack as the leader of Greenshield Island. Isle of Greyshield, Ser Haras Harlaw, whose Valyrian sword Nightfall is so sharp!"

Euron was very heroic and awarded all four islands.

Newt was a crew member of his brother Victarion Greyjoy's ship the Invincible Ironborn; Adric was an ironborn captain of his rivals, the Drodrums; Marlon Womack was a Supporter of Victarion.

As for Ser Haras Harlaw, he is a potential supporter of Euron's niece Asha Greyjoy.

In the line of defense against the invasion of the Ironborn, the Shield Islands are the first position of the people of the Reach, and it is also the most unlikely place to lose.

Therefore, in the next few months, High Court will definitely organize a large-scale counterattack, which will greatly deplete the ironmen who stayed here.

Victarion, who was slightly drunk, regained consciousness after hearing his brother's award.

He is wooing my crew!

"Newt, you are not the captain yet, and you cannot accept this level of reward. I order you to refuse the title of leader of Oakshield Island."

Newt, a barber with a short body but extremely long arms, shook his head and said, "I think even you, the captain, would not refuse such a canonization, let alone me, an ordinary person? Since the king rewarded me with Oakshield Island, I have to accept it."

He ignored the orders of his own captain and accepted the canonization of the king frankly.

Victarion looked at Newt helplessly, then at the jealous crew members around him, and became more wary of his brother Euron.

King Ironborn was very satisfied with Newt's attitude, and after a few casual compliments, he said loudly:
"Although these small islands have been conquered, we can't be complacent. The rich bay land is right in front of us. Those stupid lords are taking their soldiers to the king's land to grab the iron chair. Even Red The Wen fleet is all in the distant Blackwater Bay. This is a big change that hasn’t happened in hundreds of years, we have to seize the opportunity and go to the river bay to grab a fortune.”

The ironmen who were encouraged by the king were furious, and they wished to drive the longboat to the green land to rob on the spot.

But Euron obviously had his own ideas, he pressed his hands together, and arranged another battle plan.

Lord Humphrey Hewitt and his wife and daughter had heard of the plan, too, but Euron paid no heed. They would not survive today anyway.

……

high court.

Willas Tyrell stared at the note grimly in his wheelchair.

Beside him, his uncle, Highgarden Lord Garth Tyrell, and his bastard son Garriot Flowers are quietly waiting for the order of the deputy castellan.

"The Shield Islands were captured by the ironmen. Many lords of the four families were captured, and there were not many longships left."

Vilas first explained to his uncle.

"You can send a letter to Old Town to ask Morin to send the longship of the Hightower family to recover the Shield Islands." Galth suggested.

Oldtown's garrison commander Maureen Tyrell was his brother and one of Vilas' uncles.

Vilas sighed and vetoed the proposal.

"The ironborn are coming fiercely. The ships of Hightower's house alone are not enough. I am going to send a letter to King's Landing to ask my uncle to send more longships to fight the ironborn."

He closed his eyes and thought for a while, "But that's not enough. Coastal castles such as Ancient Oak City, Red Lake, Bandarenburg, Three Towers Castle, and Black Crown City are all within the attack range of the Ironborn. The lords of these places and Most of the soldiers followed to the king's territory, and they basically couldn't hold it."

Vilas said as he came up with an idea, "Go send ravens to Old Town, let them send troops and longships to patrol the coastline. Send ravens to King's Landing, let uncle send more longships, At the same time, let Garland lead a large army back to help."

Gals took note of his nephew's instructions and went out to find the maester to deliver the letter.

……

Junlin City, the residence of the Rose family.

Garland, who was missed by Vilas, was reporting his investigation to his grandmother.

"Because Stannis occupied the Red Keep for a period of time, Cersei became very suspicious when she came back, and changed all the servants and handymen. Our foundation in King's Landing is a bit shallow and we can't intervene at all, so I don't know what the lions are doing in the Red Keep."

After Cersei's visit, the cautious Queen of Thorns secretly asked her most reliable grandson to send someone to investigate the Red Castle.

"Incompetent work!"

Olenna scolded her grandson first, and then asked: "Have all the lords who went to the throne room been notified? What about the estate knights? How many people are going?"

Garland reported in a low voice: "Everyone has been notified. We went there wearing iron armor that day. Including property knights, we have more than 400 warriors in the throne room, and Cersei also agreed to let some soldiers line up here to go to the throne room." On the way to the hall, it’s not a big deal.”

After careful consideration, the Queen of Thorns said, "I'm still a little worried. How about this? You won't go to the Throne Hall that day, but stay in the barracks outside the city. If something happens, lead the army to rush in from the Mud Gate."
