Game of Thrones: Kings in the North

Chapter 36

Ed and his illegitimate son Jon Snow, adopted son Domilik Burton, and adopted son Theon Greyjoy stood together by the sea, overlooking Seal Bay.

Theon Greyjoy has never seen the sea since he arrived in Winterfell when he was ten years old. When he came to the seaside again, Theon was very excited. He took off his boots and walked around on the beach. In front of Ed.

"Lord Ed, once again I can smell the sea salt and hear the sound of the waves, I feel my blood is boiling again."

The ironborn are born warriors of the sea. Most of the people in the north are descendants of the ancestors. The ancestors have never had the desire to conquer the sea. It is precisely because of this that Skagos Island, opposite Seal Bay, can free Outside the rule of House Stark in Winterfell.

Domeric Bolton looked to the east, "Lord Ed, Skagos Island is somewhere east of Seal Bay, and we will enter a strange island where the ancient books of the Academy City and the ancient books of the Winterfell Library Tower are unfamiliar. I must The book on rock species "The Forgotten Corner - The Complete Record of Skagos Island and Rock Species" can be completed."

Theon looked bored, "Who would read books about rock species? A group of cannibalistic savages. Also, Domilik, I suggest you change the title of the book to a short one. Who would read such a cumbersome name?" Would you be interested?"

Domilik said indifferently: "I will consider it. I have a hunch that this will be a great adventure. When the White Harbor Fleet arrives, the northern army will destroy the rock species like a battered bamboo, forcing the rebellious rock king Samro Klauer bows down and hides the evil queen of Skagos, whether she be the iron bitch or Helen Pike, she will be wiped out by the army of the North along with her machinations."

Jon Snow said: "I think so too. The young dragon lord Daeron I conquered Dorne without bloodshed, and we can certainly conquer Skagos Island."

Ed sighed, "Daeron I failed to defend Dorne, and tens of thousands of people died for his conquest. Jon, do you think if the Northern Army defeats the King of Rocks on the island and the species of rocks, etc. The army from the north is returning home, can we hold this island?"

"Yes!" Jon said in an unquestionable tone, "We will keep the best soldiers, and whoever rebels will be executed, and they will surely surrender."

Ed disagreed, "This is a very dangerous idea. Killing cannot win the love of the people. Back then, Aegon the Conqueror and his sisters held the dragon in their hands. If they burned every king or lord who had resisted them, then Aegon rules over nothing but bones and ashes."

Domilik said: "Master Ed, no matter what, the army of the north will definitely be able to crush the rock species. They will only be guerrilla fighters, and they will run away when they see the army of the north."

Young people are always so confident, if only Ed could be as confident as Domilik.Theon, Domeric, and Jon Snow, who was not on the battlefield, were all boasting about the encounter along the coast of Seal Bay, but how did these young people know that the real battle would start on Skagos Island after crossing the sea.

Although it has only been two days since the northern army set up camp in Seal Bay, Ed feels that two years have passed, and the no-name fleet in White Harbor has never appeared.Where exactly did Willis Mandalay take the fleet?
In the fleet of White Harbor, there is a Pentos mercenary fleet, as well as the "Sister Boy" longship hired by the Three Sisters Islands, and the Reese galleon commanded by Earl Wyman Manderly in White Harbor, the Pentos merchant ship , the Iban whaling ship, the swan ship of the Midsummer Isles, and merchant ships of various sizes from all over the Seven Kingdoms, as well as some fishing boats from the old city, Widow's Watch.

Sir Herman Tallhart, who was in charge of the supplies, counted the food and grass. He told Ed that the food was enough for the northern army to last for two months, and if it was saved, it could last for three months. Greatjon Amber was also willing to take it home The winter reserves of the fort are for the northern army to eat, and there is sufficient food and grass.

But Ed is still very distressed, there is no way, Winterfell is heavily in debt.Ever since he borrowed 50 gold dragons from the Iron Bank and another [-] gold dragons from Wyman Manderly, Ed has become the poorest Duke of the North in history. Debt.

If Willis Mandalay's White Harbor Fleet encountered an accident at sea and the White Harbor Fleet could not arrive, then Ed would have lost the war before it even started.

Unable to cross the sea, Ed had to let the vassals return home with their own horses.In this way, the army was summoned, and all the money spent on the march was wasted.And once the northern army leaves, the pirates of Skagos Island will continue to rush out of the ocean and wreak havoc in the territories of the Amber House, the Karstark House, and the Bolton House.

Once Winterfell's expedition to Skagos Island fails, the rockborn and ironborn pirates will wreak havoc on the east coast of the North for many years, Ed has no doubts about this.With a smithy and shipyard on the island, the Kings of the Rock will only continue to grow in power.It is also difficult for Ed to organize such a large-scale conquest against Skagos Island again.

This time Ed was recruiting an army, Maester Luwin of Winterfell, and Ed's wife Caitlin strongly opposed it, and the next time they opposed Ed would be the vassals in the north.Winterfell is unable to wipe out Skaggs Island, and the mysterious Iron Bitch, Helen Pike and the King of the Rock will continue to stay on the mysterious Skaggs Island as a secret.

Without a fleet, it is impossible to cross the sea. Ed can only lead the army on the land next to Seal Bay, helpless.The northern army's assault on the coast of Seal Bay caught the pirates by surprise and captured several longships, but the number was so small that they were not even qualified to enter the sea to challenge the pirates, let alone carry an army across the sea.Ed became more anxious as he thought about it, and turned to Domilik. Maester Luwin was staying at Winterfell this time when the army from the north was on an expedition, so Domilik was in charge of managing the ravens and delivering letters.

"When I was in Winterfell, I asked your father, Roose Bolton, to meet the White Harbor fleet at all costs and escort the White Harbor fleet to the north. Counting the time, the White Harbor fleet should have passed the Dreadfort. The territory is on the coast, why hasn't your father replied?"

Domilik pondered for a while, "Lord Ed, we have been marching for most of the past few days. Even if the Dreadfort released the ravens, it would be very difficult for the ravens to find us while marching in the field. Even if my father sent the ravens, Who knows if the hawk on the road, the hunter will shoot down the raven?"

"I speculate that if the White Harbor fleet arrives, the fleet and the soldiers of the Dreadfort will be flanked, and the pirates will flee. My father may have boarded the ship with the soldiers of the Dreadfort and is marching towards Seal Bay. I suggest that you can send light cavalry. Go to the territory of Kahuo City to see if there is a fleet of White Harbor along the coast of the Karstarks' territory."

Ed sighed, "That's the only way to go. Tell Jory Cassel, let him send Winterfell's guards to Cahoe City on fast horses, and ask Lord Rickard Karstark, White Harbor Has the fleet passed by?"

"Woo——" the horn of the North tore through the sky, and Ed saw a ship approaching Seal Bay in the distance. The flag flying on the ship was a male mermaid holding a trident. coat of arms.

The White Harbor Fleet that Ed thought of had finally arrived.
