Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

Chapter 153 Start the War (7600 chapters)

After accepting Theon's mission, Yara immediately sent letters calling for assembly to other islands in the Iron Islands through the Crow's Nest in Pike City.

Then she rode her horse back to King's Harbor and searched for several taverns in a row. Finally, she found her goal.

"Cole, wake up! It seems that you want to die from drinking too much like Eddie!"

Yara approached a wine table, reached out and patted a handsome drunk man with smooth pink cheeks and no beard, and said.

"Huh? Who... Yara!"

A drunk man named Cole was forcibly awakened by Yara. He shook his dazed head, opened his eyes and saw Yala, stumbled up excitedly, and hugged Yala.

After Yara was hugged by Cole, she raised her head and kissed Cole very directly.

Cole, is Yara Black Wind's second-in-command... Well, also a lover, nicknamed 'Girl'.Among the ironmen with shaggy beards, it is named for its smooth and pink face.

Contrary to Cole's delicate nickname, he is brave and tough in battle. He is one of the bravest warriors in the Iron Islands, and his reputation spreads all over the Iron Islands.

"Okay, wake them up, let's go back to the Black Wind."

After kissing for a while, remembering that there was nothing to do, Yara ordered Cole to wake up the other crew members who were sleeping soundly lying on the nearby wine table, and return to the Black Wind.

"Okay! Hey, let's go back to the Black Wind and taste 'Peaches' together"

After Cole replied, he immediately turned around and punched and kicked, brutally waking up the other crew members of the Black Wind.

When the other crew members saw Yala, they hugged and greeted her very excitedly.It can be seen from here that Yala is indeed popular.

The Black Wind is a standard long ship about one hundred feet (about 30 meters).Due to its size, it does not carry any equipment such as ballistas and trebuchets.It mainly uses shallow draft and high maneuverability to approach the target for boarding battles.

"I haven't been on the island for several months, what's the situation in the Iron Islands now?"

Assign tasks to all the crew members, let them inform Yala, who is assembled by other iron captains, and ask Kordao in his arms one by one.

"After returning from the plundering of the Western Territory, King Theon spent all day looking for all kinds of beauties to have fun. Quinton Greyjoy and Ramsay Bolton basically took over the government affairs, and the strength of the Iron Islands gradually divided into three groups.

Quinton was in charge of several thousand ironborn in Pike City, and took over the job of guarding King's Harbor.He also wooed the Ironborn from Harlow Island, Kuroshio Island, and Oak Island, which was regarded as the most powerful force.

In addition to the troops on Great Wake Island and Salt Cliff Island that His Majesty Robb had asked him to take over, Ramsay also recruited the Ironborn from Old Wake Island.

He is responsible for providing various information to King Theon, and he does not know where he got a large group of mercenaries, and the overall strength is also very strong.

Finally, there are neutral iron longships like our Black Wind.and the Northern Fleet commanded by Sir Willis Manderly of White Harbor.

They gathered on the north side of King's Harbor. They have been training strictly for the past few months and rarely cause trouble.

However, some time ago, there was a melee between them because of the provocation of Quinton's drunken iron clan.In the end, King Theon punished Quinton and suppressed public opinion, forbidding everyone to discuss the matter. "

Although Cole has been dreaming and dreaming in the past few months, he knows all kinds of things about the Iron Islands clearly.Hearing Yara's question, he answered her clearly.

"Now Theon asked me to summon the Iron Fleet and the Northern Fleet. Leaving aside the Northern Fleet, do you think I can take this opportunity to take over the Iron Fleet?"

After listening to Cole's words, Yala spoke to him thoughtfully.

"I don't think so!"

This topic made Cole sit up from Yara's arms immediately. After shaking his head to answer Yara's question, he continued,
"The current Iron Islands are completely different from when King Balon was in power. Except for Pike Island, the Ironborn on the other islands surrender to King Theon on the surface, but in fact, they recognize His Majesty Robb in their hearts.

They recognized Quinton and Ramsay because of the intertwined interests among them.Therefore, the appointment of King Theon alone is not enough to make them truly submit to you.

unless……"

"In other words, if I want to quickly gain a foothold in the Iron Islands, then I must let Ramsay or Quinton fall, and then take over his power?"

Yara heard the voice behind Cole's words, and she said it very directly.

"Yes. Compared to Quinton, Ramsay, as an outsider from the Green Land, is undoubtedly the best target.

In fact, Quinton had approached me several times secretly, wanting us Black Wind and other neutral iron longships to join his command.

After the recent scuffle, he approached me again and said Ramsay was behind the scuffle.Judging from his tone, he really wanted to attack Ramsay. "

When Cole heard this, he nodded and told Yala the most suitable goal he felt.

"Well, I really hate this Ramsay too. Especially that smirk he always puts on his face!

Cole, you should quietly contact Quinton.Tell him to meet me on the Black Wind. "

"Okay, I'm going to meet Quinton now. However, there are a lot of Ramsay's eyeliners on Pike Island. I will discuss with Quinton and see how you can meet secretly."

When Cole heard this, he immediately picked up his clothes from the ground, quickly put them on, and replied to Yala.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Cole. When I regain the right to speak in the Iron Islands, I will let you have your own longship and become a glorious iron captain."

"I'm very much looking forward to seeing my own longboat, dear Yara!"

Cole, who was dressed, heard Yara's promise, turned his head and answered with a smile, and walked out of the cabin directly.

Time passed quickly, and in the middle of the night when the moon was shining, a scull boat set off from the Black Wind and slowly rowed to a leeward reef far away from King Island.

Behind the reef, Quinton was waiting quietly with a few of his men holding torches.Yara and Cole stepped onto the rocks from the small boat, exchanged pleasantries with Quinton, and then began to discuss business matters.

Yara turned her head and glanced at the subordinates behind Quinton. Quinton immediately understood what she meant, and said, "These brothers are my life-long friendship. I trust them, just like you trust Cole. "

"That's good! Quinton, I want to drive Ramsay, an outsider, back to the green land. You have been fighting with him for so long, you must have thought of many ways?"

Hearing what Quinton said, Yala nodded and pointed out the topic very directly.

"Well, that bastard Ramsay has contacted many smuggling merchant ships and secretly transported goods from the north and the south.

At least tens of thousands of gold dragons have been earned in the past few months.None of the gold dragons had been taxed, which meant that he embezzled at least [-] gold dragons from the Iron Islands.

King Theon valued him before because no one could replace him.Now, you are back.Let's go to King Theon tomorrow and report this matter.

Even if Ramsay is the candidate arranged by His Majesty Robb, this matter alone can make him go back to the green land. "

Seeing that Yala was so direct, Quinton was also very direct, telling the black information about Ramsay that he had inquired about.

"That's enough. His Majesty Robb won't say anything when Theon punishes him for swallowing such a huge amount of golden dragons. Besides, His Majesty Robb doesn't seem to like Ramsay very much."

After listening to Quinton's words, Yara knew that this slander was enough to make Theon, who liked rich women since childhood, punish Ramsay.

"Okay, then we will go to see King Theon at dawn tomorrow.

Let me explain first, after Ramsay gets out of the Iron Islands, I will take over his smuggling business.In addition, the forces of Oak Island should also be assigned to my jurisdiction. "

"Hey, wake up! Quinton, you're dreaming! Without my help, you can't do anything to Ramsay. Otherwise, why didn't you report him sooner, since you've had information on him for so long?"

Seeing that Quinton started to carve up Ramsay's power, and the lion opened his mouth.Ara chuckled and retorted.

"Then how are you going to divide it?"

"First of all, the troops of Mishima belong to me..."

"What? Impossible..."

The sound of bargaining on this reef is like the sound of ocean waves, one wave after another.

The night slowly passed, and the bright red sun jumped out from the sea level.

Early the next morning, Quinton and Yala met at the gate of Pike City on time.

"Yara, look at you. Didn't sleep all night last night?"

Quinton looked at Yala, who had particularly eye-catching dark circles, and asked directly.

"Well, thinking about what happened today, I can't sleep!"

Yara nodded, and replied casually with a blank face.

Hearing her answer, Quinton couldn't help laughing secretly in his heart, the woman really couldn't hold her breath.

The two of them waited for a short while, and the gate of Pike City was opened. Under the leadership of the servants, the two of them were brought to the long hall.

However, what surprised Quinton was that Ramsay was already in the long hall, talking with Theon who was sitting on the Sea Monster Throne.

"King Theon!"

Entering the long hall and coming to the Sea Monster Throne, Quinton and the others saluted Theon and greeted them.

"Um, hah...Yara, Quinton. Is there something important for you to come to me so early in the morning?"

Theon nodded in response to their greetings, and kept yawning while asking.

"King Theon, let's report..."

Upon hearing this, Quinton took a step forward.Open your mouth and recite the speech that you thought of in advance yesterday.

Swish!
Yala behind him suddenly pulled out the dagger from his right waist, stepped forward quickly, pinched the back of Quinton's neck with his left hand, and pressed the dagger to his throat with his right hand.

Clang, Clang, Clang!
Many guards in the long hall saw Yala's movements.They drew out the long swords around their waists one after another, and surrounded her.

"Get out!"

Ramsay looked at the accident in front of him with a smile, waved his right hand to the side, and ordered at the same time.

Hearing Ramsay's order, the guards in the long hall turned their heads to look at Theon, who was frowning but didn't speak, and put away their swords and returned to their positions.

"Yara, what are you doing?"

Feeling the coolness in his throat, Quinton, who was completely defenseless, tried to cast his eyes back, and asked softly.

"How did my father die?"

A cold question came lightly from behind, and Quinton's hairs immediately stood on end.

"King Balon? He hanged himself, and several iron captains saw it with their own eyes."

As soon as Quinton finished speaking, Yala, who was obviously dissatisfied with the answer, exerted a little force with her right hand, and the tip of the dagger instantly cut Quinton's skin, and bright red blood dripped down the dagger.

"Yara, do you suspect that his father's death was related to him?"

Hearing the conversation between Yara and Quinton, Theon, who seemed to understand a little, asked.

"Ramsi, didn't you say you had evidence last night? Where's your evidence?"

Yala didn't answer Theon's question, she looked at Ramsay who was beside Theon, and said loudly.

"Lord Theon, I just found out last night that King Balon was murdered by Quinton. Now, the evidence is right outside the door."

Seeing Theon turning his head to stare at him, Ramsay immediately bowed his head and apologized with a smile.

"Suicide... Murder! Hmph, bring in the evidence."

When Theon heard that, his face became gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said to Ramsay.

"Let them in!"

Ramsay nodded, and immediately called out to the long hall door.

"Meet King Theon!"

The door of the long hall was opened, and the two ironmen came behind Yara and saluted Theon.

"Lord Yala, the witness on the left has a life-long friendship with Quinton. Quinton trusts him, just like you trust Cole.

His words should be used as evidence! "

Ramsay pointed to the Ironborn on the left and spoke to Yara.

Yala heard the words and turned her head to look.The ironman on the left was one of Quinton's confidantes who brought him to the reef last night.

"You are Quinton's confidant, tell me quickly, what happened to my father's death."

"A few months ago, Quinton led us to kill the guards outside the palace of King Balon. Then I stood guard for them outside, and they went in and strangled King Balon to death."

Hearing Yara's question, Quinton's confidant immediately spoke.

"The one on the right is an iron captain who identified the cause of King Balon's death. Tell me about the situation at that time!"

"The four of us iron captains went together to identify the cause of King Balon's death. 'Eagle Eye' John found that the cause of King Balon's death was not right, so he said it directly, but was suddenly stabbed into a hornet's nest by Quinton with a dagger.

Hey, poor old John's body was pushed into the sea by Quinton. "

The old iron captain, upon hearing Ramsay's words, immediately told the story of Quinton's murder.

"If their words cannot be used as evidence. You can arrest Quinton's confidantes for questioning, and find the other two iron captains."

Seeing that Theon and Yala were silent after listening, Ramsay immediately spoke.

"Lord Theon! At that time, King Balon refused to surrender and wanted to execute you. I am saving you!

Otherwise, how could you be sitting on the Seastone Seat now, and how could the Iron Islands have developed so prosperously!
Please, for the sake of my life for you, oh, don't kill me, I don't want to die! "

Knowing that this matter must not be concealed, Quinton immediately said to Theon in a crying voice.

"My father... doesn't want to die either!"

Yara, who was behind Quinton, heard the words, leaned into his ear, and said softly.

Oh!

As soon as Yara finished speaking, the short dagger in his right hand suddenly pulled from left to right.She exerted such force that a large piece of flesh and blood on Quinton's neck was scratched and rolled up, and the large white throat bone could be seen.

"Yara, you are in charge of Quinton's work. Speed ​​up the fleet assembly, I want to go to Sea Frontier City earlier.

Ramsay, leave the rest to you! "

Knowing that what Quinton said was right, his father Baron did have the possibility of executing himself at that time.Suddenly, Xi En, who was somewhat dispirited, gave an order lightly, then got up and walked out of the long hall.

"You two are very wise, go and receive the reward! Hey, other people who participated or concealed this matter will die a miserable death.

Come on, clean up here. "

Ramsay walked down the steps of the Sea Monster Throne slowly, and after speaking to the two witnesses with a smile, he called people in to deal with Quinton's body.

"Ramus, you are very good. You can pinpoint the time for me to return to the Black Wind. My crew also has your eyeliner, right?
Although Quinton is dead, don't be too complacent.I know what you do. "

After Yara wiped the dagger off Quinton's body, she said coldly to Ramsay.

"Master Yala, I don't have the guts to embezzle the assets of Pyke Island. I will pay those taxes and fees to that person!"

Of course Ramsay knew what she was talking about, he immediately opened his mouth to explain, and turned his head to gesture to the Sea Monster Throne high above.

"Did you disclose this to Quinton on purpose? If he really wanted to investigate, he would be hated by Theon instead.

Good means!From today onwards, I will try to overestimate you.

Hey, be careful not to be caught by me! "

Yara's head was not slow to turn, and she immediately figured out that smuggling taxes and fees was also Ramsay's plan.With a half-smile expression on her face, she turned and left the long hall directly.

Looking at Yara's slender back, Ramsay still had a smile on his face.

On that day, all the ironmen loyal to Quinton were bloody dealt with, and Yara took over all the troops on Pike Island.

However, of the outer islands, only Great Wyk Island expressed its willingness to follow Yara, and both Old Wyk Island and Salt Cliff Island fell to Ramsay.

No matter how angry Yala was, five days later, the Iron Fleet with nearly 1 people and the Northern Fleet with nearly 5000 people rushed to Haijiang City.

When Theon arrived at Sea Front City with the fleet covering the entire Ironborn Bay, it was about two days later than expected.

Due to the various constraints of this era, although Yala was told to gather in one week, Robb actually expected two weeks in his heart.Therefore, he did not blame Theon for this matter.

In Sea Front City, Theon didn't talk about the changes in the Iron Islands.Robb carefully explained his subsequent strategic thinking to Theon several times.

In the end, from the [-] Winterfell recruits, [-] troops composed entirely of northern citizens were selected.Robb assigned them to Theon's army.

The next day, the two of them split into two groups and set off from Haijiang City with their respective troops.

Robb led two thousand light cavalry and the remaining thirteen thousand recruits, but did not go directly to Riverrun.

Instead, they went from Raven Tree City, Stone Ledge City, and Darry City in turn.Four thousand Winterfell recruits will be used to replace those stationed in the castle with the northern veterans who have experienced the previous round of war.

After the replacement, each of the three castles was guarded by [-] northern soldiers, including [-] veterans and [-] new recruits.

As far as the defense is concerned, such a number is completely sufficient.And in the past few months, the military rations and defense equipment provided by Riverrun City have also been transported to these three castles.

As for the three commanders who led the troops to recover the castle, Earl Tytos, Earl Rickard, and Earl Jason.He was also dispatched by Robb to the troops he led.

More than ten days later, Robb brought this powerful northern army to Riverrun.

When Robb arrived at Riverrun, Edmure was taking Sir Marq outside to continue to attack the stronghold of the Westland Army.

Although he had written a letter to report the matter before, as soon as he met Robb in the meeting hall, Brynden immediately reported to him the abnormality in the exchange of prisoners, and the strangeness that Edmure would win every battle during this period.

"Your Majesty, the situation is like this. With Edmure's successive victories, his reputation in Riverrun and even the riverlands has become higher and higher.

Especially among the newly recruited recruits, most of them admired Edmure very much and longed to be under his command. "

"Uncle, uncle's reputation has been cultivated very high now.

If you forcefully suppress him, not only will uncle have other thoughts in his mind, but other people will also think that you are deliberately suppressing him.

Therefore, I will put all the recruits in the river land under my uncle's command, and let him take command. "

Hearing Brynden's report, Robb looked at the location of Harrenhal on the map and expressed his opinion on this matter.

"Your Majesty, I have known Edmure since I was a child. It is true that he has no problem leading a small army to fight, but on such a major battlefield, he is likely to become the enemy's weak point to attack us!

Just like the [-] cavalry that he lost before, this time it is an army of nearly [-], if he is buried..."

When Brynden heard that Robb was going to hand over the recruits to Edmure, he immediately spoke anxiously.

"Uncle, don't worry! If Tywin really plans something, he won't move uncle in a short time. If uncle really ruins this ten thousand army, I will make Tywin pay double the price."

"Oh, well! Everything is at your command."

"Okay, let me tell you about the general arrangement for the next..."

When Robb explained the recent tactical arrangements to Brynden, Edmure and Sir Marco returned triumphantly with hundreds of prisoners.

The recruits stationed outside Riverrun were all extremely excited, shouting Edmure's name loudly.The veterans of the Northern Territory were silently preparing for the battle, such as wiping their weapons and arranging their armor.

Earl Tytos, who knew well what kind of virtue Edmure was, didn't raise his head, just chatting in low voice with Earl Rickard, Earl Jason, and other familiar earls.

Edmure, who was walking at the forefront on a war horse, also saw this situation, curled his lips, and went straight to Riverrun with some displeasure.

After returning to the castle, Edmure saw Robb and Brynden who had been waiting for a long time.Hearing that Robb was going to hand over all the recruits in Hejian to his command, he hugged Robb excitedly.

Then, on the grounds that Sir Marco had accumulated enough military exploits in the past two months, he asked Robb to let Earl Piper be free. Of course, punishments such as deprivation of titles were still there.

Knowing that he couldn't refuse, Robb readily agreed.Seeing Edmure running towards the prison excitedly, Robb called Clay and told him to focus on the people and things related to Edmure and Earl Piper.

When Robb was handling various government affairs in Riverrun, Tywin, who had already stationed troops in Harrenhal, received a letter from Raven from Casterly Rock in the west.

The Burning King's Tower used to be the tallest and largest tower in Harrenhal, but Aegon the Conqueror brought his giant dragon and melted the Black Hearted Harren and his tower by half.

However, the rest of the castle rooms are as large as the living rooms of other small castles.Therefore, this is still where the castellan's room of Harrenhal is located.

Tywin, Kevan, James and other Lannisters are gathering in the castellan's room at the moment.

"All the squids in the Iron Islands have been dispatched, and two or three hundred warships have occupied the mouth of Lannisport. Tell me what you think."

After Tywin received the letter from Casterly Rock City, he did not hold a military meeting.Instead, they called James and Kevan to hold a family meeting.

"Father, together with the recently recruited cannon fodder, we have a total strength of 5000. I don't understand. What are we waiting for at Harrenhal? Now, let the other party attack first."

James, who knew that his own troops had a huge advantage, had been asking for tassels to fight for more than ten days, but he was directly suppressed by Tywin.

"Jaime, that wolf cub is good at avoiding attacks and attacking elsewhere. We suffered from this in the war a few months ago, and he made us run around.

Therefore, this time we waited for them to act first, and then planned a tactical plan to deal with it! "

Seeing that Tywin didn't speak, Kaifeng immediately explained to James.

"Hey, it seems that Ed's eldest son is really capable if you can treat him with such caution.

Okay, back to the point, the squids attacking Lannisport was exactly what we expected.

In the past few months, Dafeng has been leading people to increase obstacles and set up blocks near the sea of ​​the port.Many defensive equipment such as trebuchets and ballistas were also erected in the port area.

The squid really want to land in Lannisport, maybe they just have to swim!So, I don't think we need to worry about them at all. Let's send troops directly to attack Riverrun. "

After hearing this, James praised him, and then spoke out his thoughts.

"No, the squids' long boats have a very shallow draft. Their big boats can't enter the port area, but if they take advantage of their numbers and use many small boats to force their way ashore, the two to 3000 people of Davon can't stop them at all."

Kevan heard James' words and directly pointed out his mistakes.

"Since this is the case, then mobilize Adam's troops and go to support from Golden Tooth City. With the assistance of his troops, Lannis Port will definitely not have any problems."

As soon as Kevan finished speaking, James immediately spoke up.

"But after Adam's troops leave, what will happen to Riverrun's northern troops attacking Golden Tooth City?"

"Golden Tooth City's walls are so high and strong, how could it be captured by them."

"That can't be said for sure, Casterly Rock City is more difficult to be captured, and the result..."

"Okay, everyone stop!"

Seeing James and Kevan quarrel directly, Tywin immediately stopped their quarrel.

When both of James looked at him, Tywin directly issued an order: "Send a message to Adam to take 1000 cavalry and 6000 infantry to Lannisport. [-] Stormland infantry plus the original [-] defenders , a total of [-] people stayed in Golden Tooth City.

Even if the northern army attacked together, it would not be able to capture Golden Tooth City in a short time.Moreover, Golden Tooth City is not far from Lannisport, and Adam's [-] cavalry can provide support at any time. "

"Kevon led an army of [-] troops from the west to guard the crossroads to prevent the army from the north from taking the opportunity to go straight to the king's territory. James, since you like to attack, then lead an army of [-] from the west to take down the castles in the other riverlands except Riverrun.

This time, we don't need to divide our troops to occupy.After taking down the castle, the captives who were willing to surrender were taken directly, and those who were unwilling were all killed.

Finally, demolish or burn these castles. "

"As ordered!"

After listening to the order, James and Davon looked at each other, nodded and saluted, and took over their respective tasks.

Following Tywin's order, the army of the Western Territory, which had been rusting away in Harrenhal for the past few months, immediately prepared and entered a state of war.

The next day, Kevan and James left Harrenhal with their respective troops.Tai Wen stood on the Burning King Tower, quietly watching the two Western Territory troops going away.

At the same time, the northern army stationed in Riverrun also divided into two teams.

Edmure led a troop of nearly [-] new recruits from the Riverland, heading east along the River Avenue. His goal was to tear apart the western defense line near Acorn Hall, and then turned to the king's territory.

And Robb led an army of 3000 men from the north, heading west along the River Road, and his goal was the Golden Tooth City.

After receiving Tywin's order, Adam, who was stationed in Golden Tooth City, immediately acted and gathered troops to support Lannisport.

As the official starting point of the first round of war between the west and the north, Lannisport once again became the clarion call for the second round of war between the two sides.
