Game of Thrones: Kings in the North

Chapter 66

On the sea outside Abyss Fort, "Iron Bitch" Helen Pike stood on the bow of the longship "Queen", observing Abyss Fort in the distance with a Myr lens.The Myr lens is a kind of telescope made of glass and bronze long tube. It is exquisitely made and sold at a high price. When Helen Parker robbed the Stone Step Islands, she got this Myr lens, and she has always been fond of it.

The Myr lens can always help Helen Pike discover the prey at sea and bring her hope, but today, the Myr lens allows Helen Pike to see the direwolf flag flying outside the castle gate, which breaks Helen Pike's heart.

Helen Pike once fantasized that she could join hands with the Rock King to build her own pirate kingdom on Skagos Island. Now that Abyss Castle has fallen, her pirate kingdom is also shattered under the shadow of the direwolf.

Helen Parker was wearing black breeches, black leather armor over a chain mail, and a sea green cloak hanging over her shoulders. She was still a wild, plump and noble beauty in military uniform. "The wolf cub actually captured the Abyss Fort. What is the Rock King doing?"

Terrence Pike said disdainfully: "The rock king? Samuro Crow lost even the castle, what kind of king is he? The gravel king is almost the same. Helen, I told you a long time ago that the rock species cannot defeat the North border army."

The fair-faced, brown-haired Terrence Pike is from Port King. He is the illegitimate son of the head of Botley in Port King and a confidant of "Iron Bitch" Helen Pike.When Helen Pike left the Iron Islands with the longship, Terrence had already served on Helen Pike's "Queen" longship.Since then, Terrence Pike has been fighting side by side with Helen Pike no matter in the Stone Step Islands, Skagos Island, the east coast of the North, or Seal Bay.

The fall of Abyss Fort made it difficult for Helen Pike to accept.Helen Pike received the Myr Lens, "Abyss Castle has fallen, ironmen blacksmiths, shipbuilders, all my brothers, are they still alive? If Ed Stark kills them, I swear to avenge them .”

Terrence Pike said: "How can we control this? Helen, run quickly! The northern army has occupied Abyss Fort, and the grain in the granary in Abyss Fort has given the northern army a large amount of food and grass supplies. The rock king is probably dead, and the major tribes of the rock species will submit to the northern border, so we have to escape quickly!"

Helen Pike was a little angry, "You want me to abandon the blacksmith and the shipbuilders to flee? Many of these Ironmen brothers began to follow me in the Iron Islands. They followed me and left their homes to the Stone Step Islands and Skagos Island. They Get caught and I run away? No, I can't do anything to abandon my brothers. They have to be rescued."

Terrence Pike said excitedly: "Are you crazy? The shipbuilder and blacksmith don't know whether they are dead or alive. Even if they are alive, they will be imprisoned in the dungeon of Abyss Fort. With more than 300 people under our command, how can we save them? More ironborn brethren will die in vain."

Helen Pike touched the sapphire necklace around her neck, "For me, the blacksmith Walter gave up the opportunity to forge iron for Lannister in Lannisport and earn a high salary. The shipbuilder Mogul, he could have Warm Arbor Island, drinking Arbor Island wine, building ships for the Redwyne fleet, he came to the barren and cold Skagos Island for me, and built ships for me and the rock species. I will never abandon them. "

Terence Pike put his hand on Helen Pike's shoulder, "I completely understand your feelings, but impulsiveness can't solve any problems. Helen, after Ed Stark takes down Abyss Castle, the next step is to call the sisters The male fleet, the Pentos mercenary ships, and the northern fleet are coming to attack us, and it is wise to flee and leave Skagos Island."

"After we leave, we can go to the Stone Step Islands and continue to be pirates. When we save enough money, we can spend it to redeem the ironmen brothers like Walter the blacksmith and Mogul the shipbuilder. We haven't abandoned them!"

The Stone Steps is the place where Helen Pike started her pirate career and also her sad place.Helen Pike said: "Do you think Ed Stark will accept the ransom and let him go? That's a good feeling. I am willing to take out a few pots of golden dragons on the longship to redeem my ironborn brothers. I am afraid that Ed Stark Ke doesn't even bother to let people go."

Terrence Pike said: "We don't have enough money on the longship. As long as we go to the Stone Step Islands, we will plunder as pirates and accumulate enough wealth. Naturally, we can spend enough money to persuade the Duke of the North to release people. "

Helen Pike shook her head, "I will not abandon my brothers and go to the Stone Step Islands. I must rescue my brothers. When night fell, we hid the longboat by the sea, followed the Abyss River to the bottom of the Abyss Fort, and attacked from the side door , into the castle. When we get the ironborn brothers, we can hop on the longships and leave Skagos Island to the Yankees, and the seas for our ironborn!"

The dozen or so iron warriors on the side applauded harshly.Terrence wanted to say more, but Helen Pike waved his hand, "Terrence, I am the captain, and you are my subordinate. This concludes the discussion!"

Terrence was obviously not happy, he turned around sullenly, Helen Pike couldn't help but wonder if his tone was too aggressive?

After night fell, the sky began to rain heavily. Helen Pike landed the remaining sixteen longships of the Ironborn pirates in a forest outside Abyss Castle. Under the cover of the forest, they reached the Abyss River and followed Walk along the Abyss River towards Abyss Fort.

The cable bridge outside the Abyss Fort appeared hundreds of meters above the Abyss River. The northern soldiers at the head of the bridge could not see the situation below in the heavy rain.

Ed, Jon Snow, Domeric Bolton, Theon Greyjoy and others are patrolling the Abyss Castle.

The northern army and the surrendered Rock Race clan all moved into the Abyss Fort. People built night fires and lit torches. Hundreds of halls were brightly lit by the torches.

Jon Snow said: "Lord Stark, I didn't expect Rock Seed to have such a majestic castle."

Ed said: "The northern border is full of treasures. With such a majestic and strong castle, it's no wonder that Samrow Claure wants to become king." After the fall of Abyss Castle, the northern army did not find rock species and iron. Hundreds of women and children abducted by the people from the east coast of the northern border.Ed can't help but wonder if they've been turned into rock-seed pies.

Ed came to the blacksmith's shop. Winterfell's soldiers were removing the bellows, blacksmith's furnace, and anvil for blacksmithing.After the Rock King's smithy was destroyed, it was difficult for the Rockborn to forge the ironmen's steel weapons and armor.

"Where is the shipyard?" Ed was concerned about the ironborn's shipyard. "Could it be that the ironborn shipbuilders built longships in the castle?"

Jory Cassel, Captain of the Winterfell Guards, said: "Lord Ed, the shipyard is at the bottom of Abyss Castle, a cave near the Far River. Ironborn shipbuilders built longships there, and went directly to sea along the river. "

"Let's go and have a look." Ed took his adopted son, his illegitimate son, and a group of Winterfell soldiers, all the way down the stone steps to the vicinity of the shipyard cave, when he suddenly heard shouts of killing.
