Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

Chapter 110 The New King
"Pooh!"

Ramsay struggled with difficulty among the corpses of several war horses, and managed to squeeze out half of his body. He immediately spat out a mouthful of mud mixed with blood.

A group of Winterfell infantry holding torches, who were inspecting the corpse and repairing the knife, saw Ramsay pushing out from the pile of horse corpses, and immediately greeted him with spears.

"I am one of my own, Ramsay Bolton of the Dreadfort!"

Ramsay also saw the Winterfell soldiers, he immediately wiped the blood from his face, and shouted loudly.

A Winterfell soldier recognized Ramsay by the light of the torch. He nodded and confirmed, "It is indeed Earl Ramsay. Brothers, let's help him out together."

When the other Winterfell soldiers heard the news, they immediately moved the pile of horse corpses away, and pulled out Ramsay, who was so covered in thick blood that he couldn't see clearly.

"Earl Ramsay, His Majesty is outside the camp. Some brothers can't recognize you now. Why don't I take you to meet him!"

"Okay, thank you very much. I remember you, and I will definitely thank you in the future."

Looking at the Winterfell soldier who recognized him, Ramsay nodded his thanks.

Under his leadership, Ramsay bypassed the Dreadfort camp covered in blood and corpses, and saw Robb standing outside the camp from a distance.

At this moment, outside the Dreadfort camp, a group of ironmen knelt down in black, surrounded by nearly a thousand cavalry and infantry armed with weapons.

Robb was discussing something with some ironmen who looked like leaders.

After Robb nodded to confirm, Owen, the infantry commander of Winterfell beside him, took the cavalry and infantry and escorted all the ironborn prisoners to King's Harbor.

"Ramus, it's good that you're fine! I was very worried about you just now, and told them to find you out!"

Robb looked up and down, Ramsay, who was extremely embarrassed, smiled and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. With the soldiers of Dreadfort, I bravely fought against twice as many enemies without fear of death. Finally, I succeeded in delaying the time and let you annihilate them!"

Ramsay thanked him, and abruptly said that his position as a tactical bait was the key to victory in this battle.

Robb frowned when he heard this, and immediately replied: "Of course, thanks to Earl Ramsay. Well, there are less than a hundred soldiers in the Dreadfort fighting bravely.

Then... these thousand and five hundred captives will be regarded as rewards and assigned to the Dreadfort, just to supplement your troops. "

This time, the Ironborn were lured to go deep, and then besieged and wiped out. The cavalry and infantry in Winterfell suffered very few casualties.

The besieged ironmen took the enemies in the Dreadfort camp as their main targets. Of the more than 1000 Dreadfort soldiers plus slave labor, less than a hundred survived.

Of course, more than 500 ironmen were killed and injured more. The tough and fearless ironmen, under the disadvantage of being surrounded by groups, died more than [-], nearly half of them, before finally surrendering.

Hearing that Robb gave himself the captured ironborn as a reward.Ramsay forced a smile, thanked him and said, "Thank you Your Majesty, I will tame them well and continue to fight for you!"

"Well, thank you for your hard work, let's go back to King's Harbor first! When you are ready, you can go to Owen to receive the prisoners at any time."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Waiting for the soldiers on the side to lead them horses, the two of them rode towards King's Harbor.

As for the cleaning of the battlefield here, and the defenseless fortress of the Botley family, there will be special personnel to clean up and receive them.

When Robb and others came to King's Harbor, the popular King's Harbor was injected again. The bonfires and lights reflected each other, as if the whole port came alive.

Blood Wind had sensed Rob's approach early on. As soon as he entered the port, this terrifying giant wolf, which made countless people fear, acted like a huge Erha, coquettishly asking for credit for Robb.

Playing with Bloodwind is more strenuous than beheading enemies. Robb played with it for a while, and then began to make the final arrangements for today.

After this battle, the entire Iron Islands has completely lost the possibility of a comeback.The surviving leaders of Great Wake Island and Salt Cliff Island had chosen to surrender just now.

After learning about it, Robb knew that Great Wyk Island was the largest island in the Iron Islands, and their strength was only weaker than King Balon's. The other small islands that had not participated in the war could gather at most [-] Ironborn soldiers.

Robb doesn't need to do anything now, he just needs to stay at King's Harbor for a few days, when the time comes, except for the 2000 people who stayed at Cailin Bay, the remaining 2 soldiers will all come to the Iron Islands.

When nearly [-] troops descended on the border, the remaining small islands of the Iron Islands had to choose to surrender or destroy.

Telling his good men to keep an eye on the forty ironborn longships, Robb asked Clay's dozens of Winterfell soldiers to take the lord of King's Harbor, Savin, and the leader of Salt Cliff Island, Dono's head. , and his autographed letter in a box to take to Pike City.

When these dozens of Winterfell soldiers came to Clay's camp in front of Pike City with torches, it was already late at night.

When Clay heard Robb's order from them, he sent a messenger with colorful banners to deliver the wooden box containing the two heads and the letter to the city of Pike.

Quinton in the city gate tower and the other captains of the longships had different expressions and had various thoughts in their hearts when they saw the head and the letter.

However, without King Baron's order, it would be impossible for them to surrender even if they wanted to.

Quinton, who was still young and still had a lot of ambitions in his heart, gritted his teeth and quietly greeted a few crew members of his own longship, and entered the darkness of the gate tower while no one was looking.

……

In the middle of the night when the full moon was in the sky, in front of Kalin Bay, a group of soldiers who shut their mouths tightly and grabbed the collars of their comrades in front with one hand, under the bright moonlight, groped forward very slowly on the only causeway to the north .

Like monsters in the dark night, the three towers standing on the left and right sides of the causeway suddenly lit many bonfires.

The archers on the three towers ignited hundreds of special rockets on the bonfire, and shot at the soldiers on the causeway who wanted to attack at night.

Huh, huh, huh!
These rockets caused great harm to the soldiers who were marching intensively. Those who were directly killed by the rockets were fine, and there was no pain.

Those soldiers who survived the shooting but were ignited by the leather armor on the ground screamed miserably while rolling from side to side trying to extinguish the flames.

There were also some rockets shot into the rotting swamp beside the causeway and extinguished, but there were very few rockets that ignited the swamp gas in the bubbles just before the bubbles bursting from the rotting swamp, and suddenly a big flame ignited.

Although these flames were not supported by the follow-up methane and burned very briefly, this kind of power was very scary.

This group of soldiers who wanted to attack at night were suddenly attacked in this environment, so they didn't care about charging the tower and maintaining their formation.

Immediately, like headless chickens, they ran away in all directions, trying to survive as much as possible.

Pfft!
Since there was still a supervising team behind them, many soldiers who could not retreat jumped into the waist-deep rotten swamp and circled back.

But some unlucky soldiers stepped on the natural trap in the swamp, struggled with fear, and slowly fell into the deep pit of the swamp.

In the darkness of the rotting swamp, there are more than these natural traps. Many look like 'black wood' with eyes and teeth, half-floating and half-sinking in the water.

These black logs are lizard lions that look somewhat like crocodiles, and they prey on sight and smell.

Seeing those soldiers who jumped into the swamp actively, they used their long tails to swim in the water. After approaching, they suddenly used their big mouths full of daggers and long and short teeth to bite the prey that came to them.

They swiftly bit these panic-screaming prey, and then dragged them into the muddy water of the swamp, leaving only balls of bright red blood floating on the surface of the water.

Standing behind the causeway, Stevron saw the three towers lighting a bonfire, and the soldiers dressed in the northern border kept shooting arrows to kill the enemy.
As for the soldiers of his Frey family, they only knew to run for their lives in a hurry, and even the supervisor team in the rear couldn't stop them.

He sighed heavily, gave the subordinates beside him an order to retreat, then turned around and returned to the camp to return to Lord Tywin, who had placed high hopes on him.

In the commander's tent of the Lannister army camp, Tywin quietly listened to Stevron's report.

After listening to it, he nodded and did not blame Stevron. Instead, he gave a few words of encouragement, which made the flattered Stevron walk out of the handsome tent very excitedly.

"Sure enough, something went wrong with that idiot Baron. Cailin Bay is still in the hands of the little wolf cub. If he stays behind closed doors now, our plan will come to nothing."

Seeing Tywin send away the simple-minded Stevron, Kevan said solemnly.

"If it's just Moat Cailin that's the problem, I'm fine with that. I'm worried about the Iron Islands...

Probably not, Baron was able to burn our Lannisport back then, no matter what, he was a seasoned King of Predators. "

There was no expression of joy or anger on Tai Wen's face, he just analyzed rationally, and while talking, he changed the subject and ordered to Kai Feng,

"Kevon, bring your army to continue the siege of Riverrun tomorrow morning. You have been away for so many days. I am worried that something will happen to Riverrun.

As long as you can take Riverrun, we will be invincible in this battle!
At that time, the wolf cubs can only hide in the north, and the wealth of the riverlands will be at our disposal. "

"Yes, I will try my best to take Riverrun City as soon as possible!"

Whether it is Carlin Bay or Pike Island, for them, this long bloody night is gradually passing.

The next day, the sun rose from the sea, driving away the darkness in Westeros.

"Ah! Come on, someone..."

In the main castle of Pike, a scream of a slave worker broke the tranquility of the dark and damp main castle.

Since most of the ironmen in the city were at the gate tower, after a while, Quinton brought five longship captains to the castellan's bedroom in the main castle.

I saw half of the rope hanging above a beam in the middle of this magnificent bedroom, and under the rope, Baron, who was put down by a few slave laborers, was lying quietly on the ground, and beside him was a half cut off rope.

At this time, Baron was very quiet except for his protruding eyes and ferocious face.It was completely gone from the crazy and fierce appearance before.

"King Balon couldn't bear the pressure of the army besieging the city, and committed suicide by hanging himself!"

Quinton looked at Baron's body and came to a conclusion with certainty.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other four ironborn captains looked at each other and chose to remain silent.

In the end, the older captain walked forward with a frown, carefully inspected Baron's body, and said to Quinton, "Quinton, it's too much for you to say that King Balon committed suicide. Hasty.

For those who commit suicide by hanging from a beam, the strangulation mark will be directly below the jaw, showing a figure-eight shape.

King Balon's strangle marks were in the middle of his neck and formed a straight line. It was obvious that he was strangled to death! "

Hearing the captain's analysis, Quinton immediately limped forward, inspected Baron's body, and then came to the captain's side, and said softly, "It's true, it seems..."

呲!
Before Quinton could finish his sentence, he took out the dagger he had prepared with his right hand, and stabbed the captain in the abdomen.

"Ah You……"

The captain who was attacked by Quinton only had time to scream, and then lost his life under the attack of the opponent's storm.

Quinton picked up the captain's body and threw him from the window sill facing the sea in the castellan's bedroom into the sea that can contain everything.

After all this was done, Quinton, covered in blood, turned to the other four captains and said, "You should have seen the result of the battle last night through the wooden box sent by the King of the North.

The leaders of the other islands have already surrendered. Instead of being boxed in the same way, we might as well surrender to the King of the North and follow him to plunder the south of the Green Land.

Now, I say that King Balon committed suicide by hanging himself, does anyone have any opinions? "

"No, no!"

The four captains who participated in the defense of the city gate and had seen the might of the soldiers of Winterfell and the wooden boxes with their heads swallowed nervously and answered in unison.

In the prison of Blood Castle, Theon, who had been disheartened by his father, sat blankly in the prison.

He now regrets very much that he was not the commander of Winterfell, so he must worry about this cold and heartless father, and he is still in prison.

Yesterday he was in command of thousands of soldiers, and his status was higher than that of some northern earls. Now he is a prisoner. This sense of gap really makes him have various thoughts.

Da, da!
There was a sound of footsteps of varying severity, and Quinton, who had changed into a leather armor again, came to the prison with a sad face.

He opened the door of the cell with the key, walked into the cell, knelt down on one knee and said to Theon who was puzzled, "Your father couldn't bear the pressure and committed suicide by hanging himself. Euron was exiled, Victaly On, Aeron died in battle, and Yara was imprisoned in Deepwood Motte.

Now, as the sole legal heir to the Seastone Throne, Theon Greyjoy, I, Quinton Greyjoy, pledge my allegiance to you. Please ascend the Seastone Throne and conclude an alliance with the King in the North. "

father died?I shall be King of the Iron Islands?

The news from Quinton's mouth made Theon both sad and happy for a while, but for him who was imprisoned by his father himself, waiting to exchange Yara, the joy must be more than the sadness.

After a little relief, Theon, who is about to win the throne he has dreamed of all these years,
Straightening out his chest, he nodded to Quinton and replied, "I accept your allegiance! From now on, we will be brothers who share salt and iron together!
Now let me out, I'm going to meet the King in the North! "

……

Robb had no idea that Theon would come to him early in the morning with such a big surprise.

In the hotel in King's Harbor, Robb quietly listened to his slightly sad talk about how his father put him in prison, and then very excitedly said that he would become the king of the Iron Islands.

Looking at Theon who kept sharing his sorrows and joys with him, Robb nodded secretly in his heart, aside from other things, Theon really regarded him as a brother.

"Xion, don't worry, I will help you remove all obstacles and let you ascend to the seastone seat. Then, together, we brothers will conquer the western region and enter King's Landing City!"

Robb showed a smile on his face, stretched out his right hand, and said sincerely to Theon.

Hearing this, Theon nodded heavily, grabbed Robb's hand with his right hand, and said very excitedly: "Robb, even if I become the king of the Iron Islands, you are still my brother and my king!
I will fight with you and help you sit on the Iron Throne in King's Landing! "

"Okay, then we will advance and retreat together."

After the two confirmed the offensive and defensive alliance, Robb asked Owen to bring up the nobles from Great Wake Island who were captured yesterday.

Regarding the news that King Balon committed suicide and that Theon would be on the Seastone Seat, the leaders headed by Goold had no objection. According to their explanation, it was winner and loser.

Now that Baron is dead, it proves that he has lost the ability to lead the Ironborn.Theon, as the sole legal heir to the current position of Seastone, should be on the throne.

However, in Robb's view, Goold and the others know how to assess the situation, knowing that after the Iron Fleet changed hands, the current Iron Islands are simply unable to resist the forces of the entire Northern Territory.

After receiving the support of Gorold, Theon immediately sent letters to all the noble families on several other islands in the Iron Islands, asking them to come and witness his coronation and baptism within three days.

Otherwise, after he is crowned, he will personally lead an army to destroy their family in the name of a traitor.

On the second day after the letter was sent, the Iron Fleet brought tens of thousands of soldiers from the northern border to King's Harbor again. I don't know if the nobles from other islands saw the strength of the northern border.

On the third day, all the nobles of the Iron Islands gathered in King's Harbor.After they landed in King's Harbor and saw Robb's strength and mighty bloody wind, most of the Ironborn nobles chose to remain silent.

Even if some nobles have objections in their hearts, they will not show it now.

At noon that day, Theon's coronation was held in a bay filled with squid flags on Pike Island.

"We are here today to witness the flooded baptism of Theon Greyjoy X. Do any Ironborn object?"

A priest of the Drowned God who was decorated with iron ore and salt blocks pointed at Theon beside him and said.

When Priest of the Drowned God finished speaking, a stout old man with snow-white hair and a bushy beard who was sitting on a chair finally waited for this opportunity to speak: "I, 'Anvilbreaker' Airi, Airi Emme There is a difference..."

Ahhh!

Airi had just said the words, and after receiving the blood wind from Robb, he quickly jumped back and forth on the reef a few times.

Coming to the chair he was sitting on, he bit off the head of the 'Anvilbreaker' Airi with his sawtoothed wolf's mouth, killing his remaining words.

"Ask again what you just said!"

Robb, who was smiling all over his face, looked around at the iron people nobles with livid faces, and said loudly to the priest of the Drowned God.

"Oh, oh, today..."

Seeing the Anvilbreaker's head chewed in Bloodwind's mouth, Priest Drowned God nodded and repeated what he had just said aloud.

As soon as Priest Drowned God finished speaking, there was only the sea breeze and the sound of waves in the entire bay, and there was no voice of opposition.

"Theon Greyjoy, please come for the flood baptism!"

Seeing that there was no objection, the priest of the Drowned God will speak to Theon.

Theon turned his head and gave Robb a grateful look, and came to the priest of the Drowned God.

The Priest of the Drowned God pushed Theon down into the water, and at the same time chanted loudly: "Let your servant, Theon Greyjoy, be born again from the sea like you!

Give him the blessing of sea salt, give him the blessing of rock, give him the blessing of steel...

The dead are not dead, they will rise again, and the momentum will be even stronger! "

This ceremony is a test from the Drowned God. The drowned person must drown in the sea water. If you cannot survive the drowning, you are not qualified, and the Drowned God did not recognize you.

Only those who can make it through can be regarded as officially inheriting the position of Haishi.However, the difficulty of this ritual actually depends on the speed of the Drowned God Priest's chanting.

The priest of the Drowned God, whom Robb had specially explained, finished his chanting at a very fast speed, and pulled Theon, who had just choked on a mouthful of seawater and kept coughing, up.

Seeing that Theon was fine, Priest of the Drowned God put a wooden crown called 'Crown of Sea Salt and Rock' on his head, and said loudly: "The dead never die!"

"The dead don't die!"

The surrounding iron people nobles echoed loudly at the same time.

So far, the Iron Islands ushered in the tenth generation king of the Greyjoy family, a new king who was influenced by Robb and had a different thinking from the traditional iron race.

The day Theon sat on the Seastone Seastone, he ordered the remaining longships and ironborn warriors of the houses to be called up.And promised that this time they would lead them to plunder wealth that they could not have imagined before.

These iron people nobles, seeing the mighty northern army, also took the opportunity to follow the idea of ​​eating meat, and donated their family's longships and troops.

A few days later, more than 310 ironborn longships, plus 25 large combat longships, carrying more than 3000 northern soldiers and ironborn allied forces, headed for the west.

At the same time, Tywin's army was still near the Neck, Kevan's army besieged Riverrun again, and the Magic Mountain's cavalry continued to burn, kill and loot in the riverland.
