The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 119 The Third Daughter Kingdom Conqueror

When Baratheon's banner appeared in that position, everyone knew that victory had belonged to them. Next, when Volantis's banner fled in pursuit of the stag, West The morale of the Luo people was even higher.

The wavering of the flag also wavered the soldiers fighting on the front line. Originally, the Westeros people were forced to retreat, but now it is the Easterners who are constantly retreating.

Finally, when a group of Westeros knights wearing roses bravely broke through the battle formation, the slave owners' combined army completely collapsed. From this moment on, the battle became a "triathlon" and "capture". Pig Contest”.

"After this battle, no one can shake His Majesty Robert's rule in the Kingdom of the Three Daughters. The weak daughters of Valyria will definitely succumb next."

Riding his horse past a group of spearmen who were desperately moving forward with fanaticism, Hugo looked into the distance and said that he did not join the pursuit as eagerly as ordinary soldiers and knights, and his status did not require him to do so.

Like him was Aenys of the Frey family. After Volantis's army collapsed, he rode his horse to Hugo's side.

These two people are the two most laid-back people in the entire Westeros army. Unlike other people who need to fight desperately for military merit, glory and land, they have obtained vast land, even in this They can get a lot of wealth in the war, but it doesn't mean much to them. With such a status, do they still care about the gold and silver?

Therefore, the two of them just watched here, with no intention of joining the pursuit. They even wanted Robert to end the war here quickly and head north to Pentos and Andas. The recognition of the Iron Throne was still of great significance.

So, right here, they looked at this magnificent battlefield leisurely.

Just when Lys and Tyrosh were confused and didn't know what to do next, a man broke into the Stepped Stone Islands and turned the entire Stepped Stone Islands upside down.

However, if Euron was just a robbery, it would be nothing more than that. At most, it would only increase the panic of the two major city-states. But Euron did something here that no one expected.

But this time, Euron accomplished a feat that no one thought possible.

Countless literary and artistic works were produced around this war. On the night of the victory celebration alone, many excellent works were produced and spread rapidly.

The Narrow Sea pirates have also become a force that cannot be ignored in the Narrow Sea. The powerful pirate king has even set up his own pass between the islands. In the continuous wars in the Third Daughter Kingdom, the Narrow Sea pirates are also active in it.

The density of pirates in the Stepped Stone Islands is the highest in the entire Narrow Sea. Some scholars once calculated that if the pirates united, their power could even overthrow the Third Daughter Kingdom. However, these pirates never united, and the pirate kings never united. They didn't like each other, so they always conquered each other after plundering.

Therefore, the Battle of Ten Thousand Riders, as the latest Eastern Expedition epic, has completely overwhelmed all previous Eastern Expedition legends with a speed that is unimaginable to anyone, and this trend has also quickly crossed the Narrow Sea and spread in Westeros. .

That was him who integrated the pirates of the Stepstone Islands.

The bards were almost crazy about this battle, and the reason was simple: tens of thousands of knights fought face to face on a desolate beach. Is there anything more legendary than this? This is something that is rare to see in the history of Westeros. It can be said that it fully satisfies the appetite of the people of Westeros.

But news from the east put the naked facts before them.

After winning the overall victory in the Battle of Ten Thousand Riders, Robert did not march directly towards Volantis and conquer the eldest daughter of Valyria as many people thought. Instead, he faced a series of Opposition chose to withdraw, allowing the victorious Westeros army to return to the Kingdom of the Third Daughter.

Regardless of the impact on literature and propaganda, the greatest impact of this war was the war in the East.

This battle took place on the coastal plain. The total number of cavalry in both armies reached tens of thousands. Therefore, the world has since called this battle the Battle of Ten Thousand Cavalry.

.

When the news of the Battle of Ten Thousand Riders came, Lys and Tyrosh's initial attitude was that they did not believe it at all. They did not believe that the strong eldest daughter could fail so miserably. However, they knew that Volantis had surrendered the city-state of Slaver's Bay. It was pulled on, how could this fail.

Euron's intrusion and commotion further aggravated Lys and Tyrosh. Previously, the Westeros fleet had actively avoided confrontation with them. The Westeros people were confident in facing the old overlords of the Narrow Sea in maritime warfare. It is not enough, and the leaders of the expedition all use the navy as a tool to project troops and maintain contacts, and do not want to actively engage them in battle.

This man was Euron Greyjoy, who brought a fleet of sixty ships south. Most of the fleet was not made of iron, but freed slaves that Euron collected in the Northern Narrow Sea. , pirates and outlaws, and most of the ships were stolen from the Pentos people.

The problem of pirates on the Stepped Stone Islands has always been unsolvable. There are countless pirates and their ships hidden in the coastal caves of the Islands. The huge profits from plundering in the narrow sea and the hard life under the war have always been intertwined. In order to encourage people to join this "great cause", the pirates in the Narrow Sea can never be wiped out no matter how hard they are wiped out.

As for why this is so, it is because Robert wants to deal with the other two daughters in the kingdom of the three daughters who have not completely crawled under him, Lys and Tyrosh.

After Euron's fleet broke into the Stepstone Islands, it began what can be said to be a frenzied plundering. Euron washed the Stepstone Islands and the coast of the Eastern Continent with blood and fire. With Euron's "art of flesh and blood" His image spread continuously, and in a very short period of time, he made himself known to everyone on both sides of the Narrow Sea.

With such a huge notoriety, Euron immediately took advantage of it. He issued an invitation to the pirate kings from all over the Stepstones, summoning them "in the name of the Iron Throne" to discuss the future of the Stepstones.

Even the Pirate King with a little foresight can see that the Stepstone Islands are in the midst of a major change not seen in a hundred years. Therefore, as a great noble of Westeros, Euron also claims to have the approval of the Iron Throne. Get up, otherwise no one would pay any attention to him. On Bloodstone Island, most of the pirate kings of the Stepstone Islands gathered here. They wanted to see what Euron wanted to say, but whether these people despised or valued them, when these people walked out of the closed venue Finally, they all declared their allegiance to Euron.

In this way, Euron was equivalent to gaining the allegiance of the entire Narrow Sea pirates. Just after that moment, his fleet expanded to hundreds of ships, and the iron fleet that set off from the Iron Islands also saw this. Entered the service of Euron.

Euron, who had such a huge naval power, immediately launched a swift offensive against Lys and Tyrosh. Even these two were very difficult to face the united Narrow Sea pirates. Soon, the fleets of Lys and Tyrosh The losses mounted, and in the end they had to take refuge in the harbor.

But at this moment, Euron did something that no one would have thought of. Everyone thought that as long as they hid on the land, Euron could not do anything to them, but Euron took the initiative to set foot on the land.

On a deep night, hundreds of ships arrived at the port of Tyrosh in the darkness. Following the activities of previously lurking pirates and smugglers, the water gate of Tyrosh opened in front of them.

Next, Tyrosh literally turned into a hell on earth. The pirates massacred crazily and took crazy revenge in this city. Tyrosh has always been the most vigorous in encircling and suppressing pirates, so it has nothing to do with it. Pirates also have the most blood debts, so the next step is to take revenge and complain.

The slaves of Tyrosh also joined this craze for revenge. As a city with a strong military flavor, Tyrosh has always been cruel to slaves. Because Tyrosh can easily suppress slaves, it is enough to use slaves as consumables. ——So, the slaves also want revenge.

However, after everyone had vented their anger and everyone thought the matter was over, Euron did something that terrified everyone.

Euron hung Tyroshi corpses from the spires of every house in Tyrosh, ensuring that Tyrosh became a city of corpses. The great temple of Tyrosh's Triad was filled with flayed corpses. The statues of the three gods were directly covered with human skin. As for Tyrosh's black wall, which was much smaller than Volantis, Euron placed a human head on each battlement.

After completing all this, Euron's fleet left Tyrosh, leaving a wandering land. Before leaving, Euron did not forget to set a fire in Tyrosh. The slaves who thought they could own this city had to be embarrassed. They escaped, but many people were burned to death.

This battle allowed Euron to subdue everyone in the fleet, victory established his authority, and those horrific scenes succeeded in making everyone afraid.

As for Euron's notoriety, it has gone to the next level. Now he has a new nickname "Master of the City of Corpses", which refers to his various horrific acts in Tyrosh, and he himself calls himself "The Lord of the Dead". "Sea Nightmare", Euron declared that he would spread his horror story to every coast and make everyone tremble with his story.

Many people think that Euron is a madman. With this idea, what else can he be if he is not a madman? But the scary thing is that this is a sane madman, a smart madman.

The fall of Tyrosh gave Lys a great impact, and the milder fall of Myr gave them a lot of illusions, but Euron's current behavior directly made that illusion no longer exist.

As a city known for its service industry, Lys has never been considered tough and strong. Now faced with Euron's behavior, they were frightened. Euron didn't care about the common people and nobles, they were all going to be affected by him. Massacre, and those who are unlucky enough have to face the "arts" that Euron uses to intimidate people.

Therefore, Rhys quickly sent a letter of surrender to Robert. It was better to surrender to the monarch of the Iron Throne than to face that murderous madman. And just like that, Lys opened the door to the Iron Throne, and the city known as a bitch now became the bitch of Westeros.

Everything developed exactly as Robert had expected. After defeating Volantis, it was only a matter of time before the Kingdom of the Three Daughters was in his hands. Therefore, the king who had always been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai in Myr added to his title "Conqueror of the Kingdom of the Three Daughters" - yes, Robert stayed in Myr after returning to the army, because he understood that to solve the other two city-states, it was better to use pressure than the army.

After Robert was declared the conqueror of the Kingdom of the Three Daughters, Euron Greyjoy brought his large fleet to Myr. Euron's arrival frightened many people, but Robert defied all odds. , greeted this terrifying pirate admiral.

When the king met with Euron, everyone was extremely nervous, especially the Kingsguard. Everyone was ready for battle. When the free and easy figure of the Nightmare of the Sea appeared, the atmosphere reached a peak.

But His Majesty the King was not afraid at all. He just watched Euron stride forward in front of him. The two looked at each other for a while. Then, when everyone present was so nervous that they did not dare to breathe, Euron knelt down to Robert. , uttered his pledge of allegiance.

At this point, the tense atmosphere finally eased. Robert helped Euron up and accepted his oath. Both of them were smiling, looking like a harmonious king and minister.

Among the people nearby, Hu Ge had been looking at this guy. Looking at this madman who had been blessed by the so-called Storm God in the original work, Hu Ge felt a strange emotion, and the appearance of this emotion , Hu Ge was sure of one thing.

That is that there is a god behind Euron.

He was not surprised by this. At most, he was concerned about why the Storm God began to "take care of" Euron so early. However, considering Euron's experience in the original work, maybe the God's Family also started during this period, but due to the environment, Euron Lun cannot do such a big thing now.

Hugo tried hard to recall more information about the Storm God, but unfortunately he thought for a long time but couldn't think of anything, because there was too little information about the purpose of Euron and the Storm God in the original book. , impossible to analyze at all.

Therefore, Hugo doesn't plan to do anything with Euron. Although he doesn't know who is behind him, but as long as he doesn't stand in front of him and touches his own interests, Hugo doesn't plan to do anything with him or behind him. The gods are enemies.

Just as Hugo was looking at Euron, Euron suddenly looked at Hugo. When he met those strange-colored eyes, Hugo felt very uncomfortable, but he still looked at Euron without showing any weakness.

In the end, it was Euron who diverted his attention first. He did not forget to smile and nod to Hu Ge. Although Hu Ge had won, his heart was still in a mess and his thoughts were diverted.
