While Veidt was leisurely wandering around the ruins of Valyria and feeding dragons, the battle on the Stepstone Islands had already begun.
On a coast covered with reefs, a large number of ships of the royal fleet were patrolling the sea. There were no soldiers on the ships that had landed on the shore, and they had all landed to clear out the pirates.
On the top of a raised rock on the shore, the tents of the king and generals were empty. Under the rock, Onion Knight Davos commanded the logistics staff to set up a huge military camp.
The chart contributed by Morford Velaryon has long been copied and distributed to various navies. This chart is a collection of great navigators from the two generations of Velaryon family, "Sea Serpent" and "Oak Fist". It is drawn very accurately. The fleet has no
A ship ran aground.
The various fjords and caves on the island were also marked. After the troops landed, they quickly moved forward and cleared every pirate stronghold.
There are several large islands in the Stone Steps Islands that are about kilometers in length. The Royal Fleet landed on one of them this time. There is also a town built on the island.
No one could dissuade King Robert from "conquering the island himself". Only after almost all the pirates were killed did he dare to let Robert join the large army and attack the remaining pirates on the island with more than ten times the number of people.
Outside a town that was in ruins and on fire, Lukos Zitlin led a few knights and rode on horseback to catch up with a few men in rags.
Several people immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "Sir Knight, don't kill us, we are just farmers here!"
"Are you really peasants?" Lukos Zitlin hesitated with the sword in his hand and did not slash it. Several other knights also stopped when they saw this.
Lukos Zeitlin, it was he who led a group of young marines from Myr to the Red Keep of King's Landing and delivered Werther's secret letter that decided the fate of the Stepstone Islands to Robert.
Later, Stannis made him one of his guards. In this naval battle, he led a small group of knights to clear out the enemy troops around the king.
"Yes, yes, Lord Knight, we have something to prove the identity of the peasant."
Several people took out daggers from their tattered robes and stabbed several knights respectively.
"Ah!" A young knight was pulled off his horse and stabbed into his throat with a knife.
"Kill them! They are pirates!"
Lukos Zitlin was also pulled down by the pirates, but when he fell, he also used force to pull the pirates to the ground. The two of them were fighting on the ground. Their physical fists could not hit the armor, but Lukos' iron gloves could do it in a few blows.
He beat the pirate beyond recognition, grabbed the pirate's throat with one hand, picked up the long sword on the ground and stabbed it into the pirate's chin.
There was no numerical advantage when using daggers against heavily armed knights on horseback. Several pirates were quickly killed, and the young knights also paid the price with one dead and several wounded, each of them breathing heavily with lingering fear.<
/p>
Lukos Zitlin is only 2 years old this year. Like several young knights he leads, he has only participated in tournaments. This is his first time participating in a war.
They were still too young, brave and inexperienced. Stannis asked them to clear out the pirates around them, and they did so honestly. They didn't know that they ran far away and the king couldn't even see them.
The streets of the dilapidated and burning town are full of soldiers in armor chasing pirates. The streets here are narrow, winding and messy, and everyone who enters the city has dismounted.
"Forward!"
"Keep formation!"
Two knights in full armor and wearing silver seahorse blouses with a sea green background were covered in blood as they slashed hard with the long swords in their hands. They led a group of soldiers to open a path more than 20 meters in front of King Robert. p>
The two of them were Morford Velaryon and his illegitimate brother Orion Waterwater. They cooperated tacitly to kill strong pirates. From time to time, a thin pirate would escape from the gap between the two.
Robert's direction behind him.
Robert wore tailor-made ornate armor, a deer-horned helmet on his head and a warhammer in his hand. Seven Kingsguards wearing white armor and white cloaks were guarding him on both sides and behind him, followed by Stannis and a group of men.
A large group of knights.
The pirates ran towards Robert. Kingsguard Lynn Corbray was about to rush forward with the Valyrian steel sword Lady Silence, but suddenly stopped and looked at Captain Barristan. Barristan nodded to him, and the two of them
Everyone retreated without leaving a trace, leaving Robert at the front of the team.
"Chop suey!"
Robert roared, and the handle of the war hammer blocked the pirate's blow. He turned the head of the hammer and swung it hard. The pirate's chest was hit by the war hammer and he collapsed instantly. His back was pressed together and he was killed on the spot. His body was kicked by Robert.
Open.
The thin pirate holding a scimitar finally escaped from a group of knights. He didn't run two steps when he saw a group of heavily armed people with flags. The leader of the group was in gorgeous armor. He decided that this person must be the leader, so he threw away his weapon and thought.
Run over and surrender.
Lao Youbo saw a pirate, and when he ran to him, he suddenly knelt down and slid over, shouting in a language he couldn't understand.
"You want to attack me from three directions, little trick!"
Robert walked sideways, picked up the war hammer and turned in a circle with his body.
Snap~~
There was an explosion of broken bones, and the pirate's head had disappeared, leaving only a headless corpse kneeling on the ground.
"Hahaha!"
Robert laughed loudly.
He also knows what the people around him are doing. As a king, he wants to rush to the front of the battlefield to kill the enemy. Although the nobles will not directly dissuade him, they will use this method to ensure the safety of the king. Now some of them are already very good. p>
The fires in the town are getting bigger and bigger, and the shouts of killing gradually decrease.
"Hoo~~~ho~~~"
Robert, who had hammered another pirate to death, stood there breathing heavily with his warhammer on his shoulder.
Barristan, the captain of the Kingsguard, saw this and walked in front of Robert with his long sword.
Morford Velaryon and Orion Waters, who were still fighting, had been paying attention to Robert's situation. When they saw that Barristan had moved forward, they never let go of any pirates. They were all killed.
They kill.
The battle in the town has ended, and Robert led everyone to retreat outside the city. A large number of bonfires have been lit here, and many soldiers are resting here.
In the distance there were surrendered pirates, men and little boys, who were led by soldiers and beheaded in groups. Now only women are left in the city.
Robert and some knights were sitting on a stone drinking water, while the attendants were wiping the blood on their armor with towels.
"How is the situation now?" Robert asked.
Stannis responded, "Most of the pirates on the island have been wiped out. In the next few weeks, the army will be divided into small groups and continue to wipe out the escaped pirates."
The attendants began to remove Robert's armor. "Where is Renly?"
Stannis "The Stormland fleet attacked Bloodstone Island, and news came that he has already fought against Tyrosh City's fleet at sea. I am not worried about him."
Robert asked again, "How is it over there on the South Road?"
Stannis waved to Morford Velaryon.
Morford Velaryon's armor had been wiped clean, and he saluted Robert and said, "Dorne and the North attacked the small outlying island together, commanded by Prince Oberon, and the River Fleet was commanded by Loras Tyrell.
Attacking Gray Shelf Island, the Western Fleet, commanded by Jaime Lannister, attacks Torture Abyss, and troops from the three islands have begun to land."
Robert felt relieved when he heard Jaime's name.
He has already discussed with Prime Minister Jon Arryn in King's Landing. If Tywin's brother Kevan Lannister is the commander-in-chief this time, Eddard Stark will lead the three northern regions to attack the West. The reason
It had been made up a long time ago. But the risk of a war between the two parties was too great, and Robert did not want to really start a war at this time.
Robert thought for a while, "No, where are those people from the naughty Iron Islands?"
Morford Velaryon "Previously, the Iron Islands sent a message to Dorne, saying that they would arrive late due to a storm. However, the scout ship from the West discovered that a large number of fleets without flags were heading towards Lys City." p>
Robert was furious, "How dare they disobey military orders! Do they want to die?"
