Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

Chapter 236 Dragon's Horn

Faced with such a surrender negotiation in Westeros, generally speaking, would the winner refuse it!
However, the negotiations between Robb and Davos did not last long and ended.

At the beginning of the negotiations, Davos made a lot of surrender conditions in the sincerity of Stannis's head and the information about the wildfire stored in the Robbstone Drum Tower.

But Robb knew very well in his heart that these many surrender conditions were just smoke bombs that Davos could give up at any time for his real negotiating goals.

No back-and-forth nonsense with Davos,
Robb directly told Davos that he could keep the Stannis family alive, but only if Shireen Baratheon lived alone in the Red Keep.

For this innocent little girl who was infected with greyscale but survived tenaciously, Robb had no idea of ​​killing the grass.

Robb, who has a blood contract and has become a big deal, is not King Robert who drinks all day long. He can even let Tommen and Myrcella go, let alone Shireen.

However, in order to prevent some people from thinking that they shouldn't have, and to protect the king's blood from being used by evil spellcasters.He decided to put Shireen in his field of vision.

Hearing Robb's crisp answer, Davers, who was about to bargain, was taken aback for a moment, hesitating and hawing, not knowing how to speak.

Then after Robb promised to treat Shireen fairly and let her grow up normally like the noble lady, Davos nodded and turned to Roland on the inner city wall, let him take all the defenders of Dragonstone Come out and surrender.

Davos had no doubts about Robb's promise of empty words.For Robb's reputation for keeping his promises had spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms.

This is the benefit of setting up one's own people in Westeros, which values ​​honor!

Roland, usually taciturn but fiercely loyal, didn't really want to surrender, but Stannis gave him final orders before going to see Davos.

Bang, bang, bang!
The defenders of Dragonstone Island came out of the inner city gate in a line. They threw all the weapons in their hands on the ground of the inner city gate, and followed the ironborn's guidance to stand on both sides of the inner city wall.

Roland and his party were the last to come out of the inner city gate. Beside him on the left was Selyse Florent, who looked like an ordinary woman, and Shireen Baratheon, who was hiding behind her mother because of fear. .

On the right are several Dragonstone defenders who are carefully carrying the stored wildfire barrels.

With the war in Westeros for more than a year, methods such as wildfire and golden juice have long been popularized.

However, due to the small amount of wildfire collected by Stannis, he did not use it in the war, but thought of dying with the enemy who attacked the Stone Drum Tower at the last moment.

Although it is not known how he figured it out, it is thankful that the Stone Drum Tower, a castle built with Valyrian masonry techniques, has survived.

After that, it's time to search for loot.Naturally, Robb asked Theon to take his ironmen into the inner city to search for such a good job.

And the rest of the ironborn, except for those who were seriously injured and unable to move, and those who guarded the captives, were all sent out by him to search for the cave where the children of the forest used to collect obsidian together with the soldiers of the Redwyne family. …

After giving all the orders, Robb visited this very distinctive castle with Blood Wind accompanied by Davos.

Finally, Robb came to the map table hall at the top of the Stone Drum Tower to look at the extremely detailed map of Westeros.

It didn't take long for Theon to come to the map table hall to report the search results to him. Unlike previous wars, the spoils of this Dragonstone war were very small, with a total value of no more than [-] golden dragons.

After repeated battles and defeats, Stannis, who finally relied on loans from the Iron Bank, lived in a very distressed life just like the northern border at the beginning.

But the good news after this is that the cave for collecting obsidian was easily found, and the obsidian reserves in it are surprisingly large and very conducive to mining.

Immediately, Robb arranged for Earl Paxter to lead the soldiers of the Redwyne family to take over the obsidian mining of the captives, while Selyse Florent and Roland Storm were the captive foremen to dock with him.

As for Davos and Shireen, Robb is going to take them back to King's Landing.Davos is a talent that is extremely suitable as a diplomat. With Shireen's weakness, he is not afraid that he will not work hard.

During the time returning to King's Landing, Robb taught Theon how to deal with the leaders of the islands after returning to the Iron Islands.

After the Battle of Dragonstone, Yara was greatly weakened.Even with the group of ironmen that Euron had brought in, they were far from being Theon's opponents.

After all, the total population of the Iron Islands is only that large, and most of the ironmen who can fight are in the Iron Fleet.

A few days later, after sending Robb and others back to the Blackwater River Dock in King's Landing, Theon immediately returned to the Iron Islands with the Iron Fleet.

Time passed by for nearly a month, and the Seven Kingdoms after the war began to rebuild and resume production in an orderly manner.

A large number of blacksmiths from Iron Street in Junlin City were sent to Dragonstone Island to make weapons from the mined obsidian on the spot.

At the same time, all kinds of information about Westeros were gathered in King's Landing City, and after screening, they were reported to Robb.

More than a month later, hundreds of Iron Fleet captains covered the entire mouth of King's Harbor.

In fact, from Junlin City to Pike Island, they should have arrived long ago at the speed of the Iron Fleet captain.But Theon stopped and stopped along the way, wanton enjoyment.Stopped at Sunspear and Oldtown for several days.

It seems that they already knew that Theon would return to Pike City today, and Euron and the leaders of the Iron Islands were already waiting at the pier in King's Harbor.

"Yo yo, my dear nephew and niece, welcome back to Pike Island!"

As soon as he saw Theon and Yara who had landed on the pier, Euron, wearing a blindfold, spoke to them as if he were a master.

"Isn't this my uncle who has been expelled for several years? Just come back, otherwise we thought you died outside!"

Looking at the smiling Euron, Theon taunted him with a twist of his mouth.

"Thank you for your concern, but my life is hard!
In the past few years, I have sailed the entire known world with the Serenity, and even Valyria, who seems to be doomed, will kill me! "

How could Euron be mocked by Theon so simply, he laughed and told loudly about his glorious sailing history.

"Hehe, anyone can tell lies, even if I say that you have spent these years hiding in a broken brothel, no one can prove it, right?"...

"Hey, want to confirm what I said? It's easy!
Just follow me to Essos, from Ibben of the Shivering Sea to Asshai of the Shadowlands, whoever sees my sails will pray! "

Hearing Theon's belittling words, Euron shook his head and said loudly with pride.

"Hmph, thank you uncle and the leaders for coming to welcome us, but I'm a little tired after a long journey, so I'll go back to Pike City first!"

Seeing that Euron didn't seem to be lying, Theon snorted coldly and prepared to return to Pike City.

"Theon Greyjoy, all the leaders and I are here today to question your qualifications to ascend to the Seastone throne! We demand that the king election be held again to choose the real king of the Iron Islands!"

Seeing that Theon wanted to leave, Euron directly stated his real purpose out loud.

"It's ridiculous! You can question my qualifications? Want to hold the king election again? Why don't you tell me first!"

Hearing Euron's words, Theon thought that everything was as expected by Robb. He was not afraid of Euron's and others' forced palace behavior, and asked directly.

"According to the laws of the Iron Islands formulated by the great priest of the Drowned God 'White Rod' Gallon, the results of the kingsmoot affected by special reasons can be declared illegal. There have been similar cases in the history of the Ironborn.

And the last king election will be influenced by Robb Stark, we have the right to declare illegal! "

Hearing Theon's words, next to Euron, one of the most influential leaders on Great Wyk Island, Gerald Gubler stood up and replied loudly.

"That's right, Chief Goold is right!"

"The last Kingsmoot had no other candidates except Theon Greyjoy. It was not legal at all!"

"Re-open the king selection meeting, this time I want to compete!"

As soon as the leader Ge Oud finished speaking, the leaders of other islands also booed one after another, declaring that the last king election meeting was illegal and demanded that it be held again.

Looking at the many leaders who openly defied him, Theon had extremely complicated expressions on his face. He thought he had not treated them badly over the past year, and everyone ate meat together, but he didn't expect that he would not be able to feed them well.

There are always two sides to things, which is true from Theon's point of view, but completely different from the point of view of the leaders.

When Theon successfully ascended to the throne of King of the Iron Islands, in addition to the strong threat from Robb's army, the prospect of plundering the Western Territory he promised was also an important reason.

It can be said that following Robb's army was the option that was most in line with the interests of these ironmen!

But things are different now, Robb has ascended the Iron Throne, and the Seven Kingdoms are gradually returning to their former peace.

And Theon still surrendered to him, so wouldn't the Iron Islands and the Seven Kingdoms become allies?The Ironborn who have gone through continuous plundering are certainly very rich.

But how can the Ironborn who have no place to plunder after their wealth is exhausted survive?

In the eyes of the leaders, Euron's request to reopen the king election would be in line with their current interests.

Moreover, they are still hypnotizing themselves in their hearts, this is also for the future of the iron species!

According to Theon's temper in the past, he would definitely not care about the occasion and call someone to do it.

But with Robb's instructions, facing the well-founded Euron and others, he nodded and agreed directly with great grace, saying that tomorrow the king election will be held again at the 'Naga's Rib' on Old Wake Island. …

The leaders of the isles beamed and celebrated at Theon's words, while Euron pressed his blue lips and looked at Theon with his right eye.

Then Theon returned to Pike City with Ramsay and other confidantes, and the leaders of the islands left one after another, returning to their own islands to prepare for the king selection meeting.

As night fell quietly, Yara, wrapped in a hooded robe, quietly boarded the Serenity.

In the luxurious and comfortable captain's cabin of the Tranquility, two young girls in sheer gauze dresses showing off their attractive figures are pouring wine and peeling fruit for the undressed Euron.

"Yara, my most beloved niece. According to the agreement, you will fully support me at the king election tomorrow!"

Seeing Yala coming in, Euron didn't have the slightest intention to hide it, and said to her directly with a smile.

Yara didn't answer when he heard the words, but set his eyes on the two girls beside him.

"Are you worried about them revealing our secrets? Open your mouth and let her see!"

Of course Euron understood what he meant, and said directly to the two girls.

The two beautiful girls opened their mouths when they heard the words, only to see that the tongues in their mouths were broken at the same root, and they looked a little bit perverted.

"They are illiterate, and I cut off their tongues long ago. You can speak with confidence!"

"Of course I will abide by the agreement, but Theon's reaction today is a bit abnormal.

And, after the battle of Dragonstone, my ironborn have suffered heavy losses.But his troops were well preserved.

If the result of tomorrow's king election meeting does not meet Theon's wishes, he will forcefully act, and all the forces on our side combined are not their opponents. "

Seeing the miserable condition of the two girls, Yara frowned slightly, and then answered Euron.

"Hey, you don't need to worry too much about these things. Trust me, everything will go according to plan tomorrow!"

Euron tilted his head and took a sip of the blue drink brought to his mouth by a girl, and replied to Yara with a confident expression.

"Well, I hope you can fulfill your promise in the future, uncle!"

"Of course, my goal is the position of King of the Seven Kingdoms, and the position of King of the Iron Islands will soon be yours!

But before that, I will take the ironborn to restore the ancient road!After all our language is 'Strong is better than hard work'

Hmph, Theon is now living with the Ironborn on Robb Stark's charity! "

"Yes, this is also an important reason why I firmly oppose him!"

"Don't worry, everything will be back to normal after tomorrow!"

In the dark night of Pike Island, not only Euron and Yara are plotting, but many people are also plotting various things.

Pike City, the main castle hall.

"Lord Theon, although Euron has the support of the veteran leaders of the islands. But the king election will determine the seat of Seastone according to the iron captain's vote.

Most of the captains in the Iron Fleet are loyal to you, so you don't have to worry about tomorrow's result! "

Theon was sitting on the Seastone Seat, and Ramsay was standing below with an iconic smile on his face, reporting the current situation to him.

"Very well, Ramsay. But don't forget the captain on Yara's side!"

After listening to Ramsay's words, Theon nodded and praised him and then reminded him. …

"You are right in reminding me, but of course it is impossible for me to forget them.

After the last battle of Dragonstone Island, many iron captains who were loyal to her died.Even if the two of them put together, it is impossible to beat us! "

Ramsay nodded upon hearing this, and then replied immediately.

"Well, Ramsay, you are doing well. After tomorrow, you will be the most powerful person in the Iron Islands besides me!"

"Hey, thank you King Theon for your cultivation, by the way. You and I have found a new pattern this time, do you want to try it?"

"Forget it. Tomorrow's business is very important. I need to rest early to recharge my spirits. Go down first!"

"As ordered!"

The night of intrigue gradually passed, and the next day the sun rose from the sea.

'Naga's Rib', also known as Naga Hill, Naga is the world's first sea dragon. After being killed by Gray Sea King, its body became a fossil.

Standing on Naga Hill, you can see that 44 huge rib fossils emerge from the ground, like huge white tree trunks. They are as thick as the mast of a galleon, and twice as high as the mast.

Early in the morning, hundreds of iron captains came to the Gray Sea King Hall in Naga Hills, where the king selection meeting was officially held, and it was also the place where the new king was crowned and baptized.

The last time Robb held a coronation and baptism for Theon near Port King in order to save time, it was actually very unruly.

The sun was gradually rising, and all the important people, including Theon and Euron, were present.

This is the beginning of the second Iron Islands king election. At the beginning, several veteran leaders brought some more valuable gifts and delivered competitive speeches.

When Euron came into battle he was clad in scales, as black as smoke, but as light as silk.

The scales, a remarkable-looking piece of armor, were edged in red gold and shone brightly as Euron moved.The scales are also engraved with threads, runes and mysterious symbols.

Once at the top of Naga Hill, Euron, glowing in the sun, cried out:
"All Ironborn of the Iron Islands, I am wearing the last piece of Valyrian steel scale armor in this world. I brought it from the pyrotechnic ruins of Valyria.

In addition to it, I also brought out many precious gifts today.Little ones, bring the box up and open it! "

As Euron finished speaking, the silent crew of the Serenity brought up huge chests and opened them.

The chest is full of rare treasures, among other things are some Valyrian steel daggers, and the most peculiar is a strange horn with a twisted shape.

The howl was six feet long from head to toe, gleaming in black light, streaked with red gold and Valyrian black steel, and looked extraordinary.

"Ironborn, have you seen it? Except for me, no living person dares to set foot on the land there. This is the best proof of my exploration of the world.

This horn is the legendary Dragon's Horn, and the stripes on its surface are inscribed with ancient talismans.The dragonlords of old in Valyria blew the same horn until the end came.

Through it, ironborn, I can make the dragon obey my call!
And now, I already know the location of the three giant dragons with wings that can cover the sky.When I ascend the Seastone Seat, I will sound the horn to control them, to drive them.

Conquer the whole world for us Ironborn! "
