Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 78 Jillian's Son

"Bringing us captives, Salado's ship set out from the Summer Sea and sailed towards King's Landing, but unexpectedly, when we passed through the Stepstone Islands, we were attacked by another group of pirates, and there were seven ships on the opposite side. , and even with our Laughing Lion on Salado’s side, there are only four ships, and they will be outnumbered.”

Following Ian's narration, the hearts of the pirates rose.

"At this time, Salado suddenly told us that the other party was the Ironborn, and he asked us if we could take up arms and fight.

As we all know, the Ironborn and the Westlands are mortal enemies and feuds, so my father and his sailors agreed to Salado's request without hesitation. After my father swore to the Seven Gods with the honor of the family, Uncle Salado Arms were assigned to us and we all returned to the deck of the Laughing Lion. ’ Ian quickly made up his own story.

"Soon, the battle broke out. The ironmen blew their attack horns and let out a terrible howl. Their longships relied on their flexibility to penetrate the middle of our fleet and split our ships. surrounded.

And because they approached too quickly, the ballista on our ship basically became a decoration. Soon, the ironmen threw their hooks and began to board the ship to fight. "

"I" Ian paused for a while, and found that the story was a bit difficult to write, because he was still relatively unfamiliar with naval warfare in this era. Although he had planned another game about naval warfare in his previous life, it was in the era of sailing warships. , which played with naval guns.

But now that Ian has compiled it here, he can only continue to bite the bullet and say: "I was only 12 years old at the time, and I can't remember the battle process of the entire fleet. I only remember that I was assigned a hand crossbow at that time. , Hiding in the pile of groceries at the stern.

One of the ironborn threw the hookline over the side of the ship not far in front of me, so I aimed there, waiting for him to come aboard.

Soon, he showed his head.

Many ironmen don't know how to wear a helmet, but this guy is different, he wears an iron horn helmet, probably a captain, so I waited for a second, waiting for his head to pop out completely , and then a precise arrow nailed the steel crossbow into his eyes. "

"Okay!" As soon as Ian finished speaking, the surrounding sailors applauded, as if they were the ones who overthrew the iron captain in the naval battle.

"Subsequently, the iron species at the stern fell into chaos and were knocked down one by one by our brave sailors, but the frightening thing was that a guy found me who was hiding behind me and stabbed in the back, and he threw a throwing ax at me. Throw it over.

I hurriedly lowered my head to dodge, but unexpectedly, the throwing ax hit the boxes behind me. The boxes piled up messily lost their balance and buried me underneath. I couldn't participate in the subsequent battles.

Later, Uncle Salado's sailors opened the box and rescued me, and it was at that time that I knew we had won.In that battle, we were outnumbered and beat those filthy ironborn hard, causing them to flee, leaving behind four ships and more than half of the sailors. "

"Good!" The sailors cheered again.

"My father fulfilled his oath, and Uncle Salado also waived our ransom and released us on the spot. After that, we gave up our plan to go to King's Landing. Uncle Salado escorted us all the way. Lu returned to the Sea of ​​Smoke, and during that journey, he and my father became brothers."

"May I ask, who is your father?"

"Jillian Lannister, the younger brother of Duke Tywin Lannister." Ian replied, "I am his son Lucian Lannister. Seven years ago, I boarded the Laughing Lion and my father Let's go to sea together."

When Ian first named himself Lucian, he wanted to pretend to be the son of the offshoot Sir Damion, but fortunately Jillian and Damian were not of the same generation, so his new identity was also called Lucian Totally makes sense.

When did Sir Jillian get married?Sir Granson, who was sitting next to Ian, subconsciously wanted to ask, but the moment before he said it, he suddenly came to his senses.

I worked for Sir Lucian for his money, not for Lannister or Hisham's surname, so what difference does it make to me whether the employer is Sir Jillian's illegitimate son or legitimate son?
After thinking this through, Sir Granson turned his gaze to the other side, and wisely kept silent.

"Jillian Lannister? Is that the lord who went to the ruins of Valyria to find the Lannister family's sword 'Light Howl'?" A sailor under Burliss asked a question. He had heard of this The story, when Jillian set off, was so high profile that it became a joke among sailors after he was never heard from, "But, I heard he wasn't already"

"Do you believe me in real life, or do you believe the rumors spread by those guys who don't even know what Jillian Lannister looks like?" Ian asked rhetorically.

"Of course it is you, my lord, we have absolutely no intention of questioning the honor of a great nobleman," Burliss hurriedly replied with a smile, and then slapped the sailor on the forehead, cursing in a low voice, "My lord What reason does he have to lie to us? Just one word from him will make our heads move!"

"It's normal for you to have doubts," Ian said to help the sailor, and then shrugged helplessly, "After all, we have not heard from us for many years, and we did go to a very dangerous place, but anyway, we are back."

We are back, just a short sentence, but it seems to contain infinite magic power, which made all the sailors present excited.

In this era when every time you go to sea, you have to risk your life, in the hearts of these sailors who are almost in danger of dying, the short sentence "I'm back" has already represented all their hopes. Contains all their courage, tells all their stories.

"Cheers to Prince Narrow Sea and Lord Jillian!" A sailor finally couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart. He raised his glass and said loudly.

Jilian does not have the title of lord, but for these sailors, it is always right that all members of the Lannister family are called lords.

"Cheers to the sea and its brave sailors!" Ian raised his glass and responded to the sailors.

He knows that he has gained the trust of these people, so next, he will include these people in his plan.

Later, he only needs to verify that there are no new sailors on board, and he can rule out the possibility that there are other players on board.

And these sailors whom he recruited under the name of the son of Salado Sann's good brother will intuitively strengthen his combat effectiveness and intelligence capabilities in the port.
