Chapter 165 The Rebellion in Pike City

The waves roared.

The air in the long hall of Pike City was dull.

There were more people sitting at the long table than at the grand banquet last night, but all of them had serious faces, silent and gloomy, complete armor and weapons at their sides.

Someone glanced around from the corner of the eye, Pike City soldiers wearing sea monster crests were guarding the inside and outside of the hall.

Some people stared blankly at the sea monster-like sea stone in the deepest part.There is no king on the throne, only a floating wooden crown.

Driftwood Crown.

It was found in King Balon's garret, but its owner was dead.

The violently shaking suspension bridge seems to be the murderer.

is it?

The steep coastal waters of Pike City could not moor longships, and the storm and waves in the dark night became more and more turbulent.Pike City still ordered people to rush to the nearest port to dispatch ships to search.

The result was sad and not unexpected.

The sacrifice of dozens of sailors and two longships was not enough for the Drowned God in the sea to return to King Balon.

The Marauder Chief of the Iron Islands is dead.

His body may have been swallowed by the deep sea and eaten by fish and shrimp.

However, he still has a soul.

The dead don't die.

Drowned ironborn are lucky.Because of his bravery and piety, the Drowned God chose him and invited him to a banquet in the palace of flowing water in the sea.

The mermaid will grant any of his wishes.

The Drowned God chose him.

The Drowned God chose King Balon and summoned him to the palace of Fallingwater.

is it?

Many people looked at the three people on the left and right of the Seastone Seat.

King Balon's second brother, Lord Commander of the Iron Fleet, Victarion Greyjoy.He sat at the head on the right side with a calm face.

King Balon's younger brother and leader of the Drowned, Aeron Greyjoy.He sat beside his brother, muttering something, it must have been a prayer to the Drowned God.

Sitting alone on the left is King Balon's only daughter, the captain of the "Black Wind", Asha Greyjoy.

She wore salt-soaked high boots, woolen breeches, a jacket, and a sleeveless waistcoat.If you don't look at her face and protruding chest, she is a male warrior of the Ironborn.

But after all, she is a woman.How could a woman rule the Iron Islands and drive countless longships?
Maybe that's why.

Many cast suspicious glances at Asha, and some glanced at the other two.

King Balon fell into the sea and passed away on the night when he robbed the banquet and put on the crown.It's too coincidental that it's almost impossible for a coincidence not to be a conspiracy.

Who killed the king?Who was the kinslayer?
as well as.

Who will be the new king?

Iron Captain Victarion with the Iron Fleet, or Asha who is more qualified by law?
Someone else thought of the two sea monsters that were not there.

Euron the Crow's Eye.

In the Green Land, Theon was forgotten by the Iron Islands for nearly ten years.

These two sea monsters are more qualified than the three sea monsters present, but one has been plundering outside all year round, and the other is controlled by the Iron Throne.Maybe that's why.

Who killed King Balon?
An atmosphere of suspicion, calculation, alienation, and panic is gradually brewing.

at last.

Aeron "Damphair" stood up from his seat.

All eyes were on "Damp Hair", and the long hall was even quieter.Only the roar of the waves remains, and no one can stop it.

Aeron "Damphair" opened his bony hands.

"We came from the sea, and we will return to the sea." He deliberately lowered his voice.

One has to pay attention and listen carefully.

"The wrath of the Storm-God rolled Balon out of the castle, and slew him, and now he rejoices beneath the waves in the Drowned God's watery palace."

He looked up.

"Baron is dead! The Iron King is dead!"

Everyone bowed their heads in silence.

"The dead don't die, they will rise again, and the force will be stronger!" Aeron reminded.

"King Balon, my eldest brother, gave his life to restore the ancient road. Everything he owned was paid for by himself."

"He is Balon the brave, the Balon blessed by God, the Balon who wore the crown twice, he won back the favor of freedom and the Drowned God for us! But Balon passed away..."

"We need a new Iron King to sit on the Seastone Seat and continue Baron's career!"

Aeron "Damphair" sounded sonorous.

"A new king will rise again!"

"A new king will rise again!" Asha and Victarion responded immediately.

Everyone followed closely behind, "The new king will rise again!"

"He will rise, he will." Aeron's voice was like the rumbling of the waves.

"But who is he? Who will take Balon's burden? Who will rule this sacred isle? Is he among us?"

The pastor stretched his hands to the extreme, "Who will be our king?"

The long table was crowded and no one made a sound.

Asha kept her expression on her face, throwing a dagger alternately with both hands to conceal her inner anxiety.

Only captains and chiefs are eligible to speak in the long hall.All of her subordinates speak lightly, even the bravest "girl" Cole's words are as small as dust.

Asha needs someone with more weight.

However, her father's death was completely beyond her expectations.

The time was so tight that Asha didn't have time to make much preparations, but she just worked hard to win the support of her uncle and Uncle Victarion.

The question is, who will break the silence?

Asha cast her eyes for help on the uncle at the long table below, the leader of Harlow Island, the patriarch of the Harlow Family, "Rodrik the Scholar".

Roderick Harlow shook his head slightly and sighed, then nodded vaguely.

"Knight" Harras Harlow stood up.

"Do you want to hand over the Iron Islands to the fluffy kid in King's Landing, and kneel down to the green land?"

"Knight" Haras Harlaw drew the sword from his belt, the Valyrian steel sword Nightfall.The sharp black sword stabbed downwards, piercing through the thick long table in an instant.

"no way!"

"Theon Greyjoy was no proud sea monster from the day he left the Iron Islands. He was no free ironborn from the moment he bowed his knee to Joffrey's service."

"There is only one true heir to King Balon! A true warrior, an excellent captain, followers of the Drowned God, our own people!"

"Knight" Harras Harlaw looked at Asha on the high platform.

"I agree!"

"That's right, Theon cannot be the new king."

"King Balon usually dotes on his daughter very much, obviously intending to cultivate his heir."

"Queen Asha!"

"Asha is the real bloodline and successor of King Balon! The ancient way will be restored in her hands!"

Many captains of the Harlows, the Womacks, the Stonetrees, the Kennings, and the Mirays agreed.

The others did not express their opinions in a hurry, but stared at Captain Iron on the right side of the Seastone Seat.

Victarion just looked at Asha silently.

So "Red Laffer" Laffer Stonehouse, Shawn Botley, "Cripple" Laffer, Laffer Kenning and other captains and leaders also began to call "Queen Asha".

Half of the people were shouting, and the other half were joining in. The voices in the long hall gradually became unified, and the gloomy atmosphere began to dissipate.

Asha suppressed a smile on the corner of her mouth.

boom!
"Good niece, am I late?" A gentle and calm voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Everyone looked at the opened door of the long hall.

It's him!

Silence fell again.

Euron "The Crow's Eye" glanced around and said with a smile, "It doesn't seem too late."
