The ironborn who were in chaos gradually came together under the organization of Duke Shavon Botley.
"Ironmen, stop all and organize a counterattack!"
Shavin Botelli is now being roasted on the fire. Although the leader of each family led this robbery, he personally gave the order to attack.
If you succeed in plundering the city of Lys and killing the governor, it will be a great achievement. However, if you lose, the ironmen can say that they will be dealt with according to military law when they arrive at Robert's place. At worst, they will be beheaded, at worst, the whole family will be exiled to the Great Wall.
Be a night watchman.
His two sons, now adults, also fled here with their subordinates. Seeing their father organizing a counterattack, they immediately stabilized their military morale and assisted their father.
Shavon Botley said to his two sons, "It took a lot of effort to become the Duke of the Iron Islands. He will never throw it away so easily. These damn bastards are trying to harm me!"
Helen Botley pointed at the West City, "Now is not the time to think about this. My fleet is fighting with the navy. There are too many of them. Now we have to get on board to break out!"
Shavon Botley "No way! If I leave now, what will the Ironborn think of me?"
The two began to argue about whether to leave or stay.
Asha quietly said to Theon, "There are too many warships on the sea. Without the ships, even if we win the battle, we will be trapped in the city and starve to death."
Xion glanced at Asha, and after the two quietly whispered a few words, Xion stepped forward and said
"Duke Shavon, this attack on Lys City was caused by Heras Harlaw deceiving you. We can prove it to you! The most important thing now is to preserve the strength of the Iron Islands."
Shavon Botelli looked at the son of the former lord and said helplessly, "Don't I want to? But now this battle must be fought."
When his two sons heard Xion's words, they thought it was a good way to help their father out of trouble and pass the responsibility to others. However, this matter was not done openly. The two of them and their cronies dispersed the crowd without leaving a trace, communicating with each other.
He also spoke loudly to cover up the sounds of several people talking.
Shavon Botley saw what his sons were doing and reflected on it. Theon must have something to rely on for what he said, or there might be a specific method. He approached Theon and asked in a low voice, "Theon, what do you think? Old Town Meeting
You were there at the time, and all the lords were there, so what’s the use of your testimony?”
Xion whispered to him the plan he had discussed with his sister.
Shavon Botley has average abilities and is really loyal to the father of his two siblings. During Greyjoy's rebellion, he had no choice but to face Robert's army being captured during the rebellion. No one else could defeat him. Now every family is dissatisfied.
He, the two siblings want to break out and help him.
Shavonne Botelli "Can it be done?"
Theon "Bonehand Drum and Horas Harlaw are mortal enemies. Baelor Blacktys now believes in the Seven Gods and opposes plundering."
Shavon Botelli "They are also considered a relatively powerful family."
Xion "I can't guarantee 100% that the two of them can support you. I am only acting as a lobbyist. You have to promise them benefits. The key is that you, the Duke, have to find more people to support you. I heard that Hera
S. Harlow has offended many people. This time he disobeyed military orders and sacrificed him, one Heras Harlow, so that everyone can live in the same way in the future."
After the Duke organized for a while, he began to lead the people of the Iron Islands here to break out westward, and the messengers began to gather the scattered iron horses in the city.
The troops that Reese returned to defend and landed were fighting in the North City. They didn't know that there were pirates and Iron Islands forces here. They all wore similar clothes and killed them on sight. They had already cleared a large area outside the port.
After the Iron Islands forces were dispersed in the city, they have now reunited to form two forces. One is led by Duke Shavon Portelli and breaks out to the west. It is still unclear who is leading the force, and the other is attacking the port.
Fires were set everywhere in Beicheng.
Theon and Asha followed the crowd, their eyes constantly scanning the flags of each family.

The self-proclaimed Prince of the Narrow Sea, Salladhor Saan, led his pirates into the East City smoothly.
He himself was able to enter the governor's conference hall, so he asked his pirates to wait outside.
Salladhor Sann is a decent man who combines the four identities of transport officer, businessman, banker and mercenary in Lys City, and he gets along like a fish in water here.
The governors looked at this well-known smuggler in the city, a scumbag who was a reseller of supplies, a loan shark, and a pirate. They didn't expect that he would lead people to the rescue at this time.
"My Lord Governors, the mercenary brothers under my leadership have begun fighting with the enemy in the city."
The soldiers on the tower had previously reported to the governors that before the navy returned to defense, there were two forces fighting in the city. The governors had had many dealings with him before, otherwise he would not have been able to enter at this time of uncertainty. The governor looked at him and said, "Thank you very much. I wonder what your next plan is?"
Salladhor Sang touched his gorgeous buttons and said, "I have lived here for almost twenty years. I spent all my property on this rescue and contacted all the mercenary brothers I knew. But the navy of Lys City took us away."
The ship was burned."
Several governors discussed it. Now is not the time to be stingy. After the discussion, the governor said to him, "We will order the navy not to burn the mercenary warships parked in North Port. Those ships belong to you, and your mercenaries
We will pay you ten gold coins each."
"Thank you Governors for your generosity!"
Salladhor Saan stood aside honestly, waiting for the clerks to write the paperwork.
The clerk gave the signed and sealed document to Salladhor Sann. After he got it, he looked at it and stood there with a smile.
Even after the price was agreed upon and the documents were obtained, the governors shouted out the door that it would be unacceptable to increase the price.
"Guards!"
Several guards opened the door and came in.
"Please get this mercenary out."
The guard drew his weapon from his waist and walked over.
Salladhor Sann raised his hands, smiled, turned around and walked towards the door. When he reached the door, he turned sideways and looked at the Governor with the corner of his eyes
"Kill them!"
The guards rushed over quickly, but the governors shouted loudly to no avail. The guards raised their swords and quickly ended the battle.
The floor of the conference hall was covered with blood, and several guards were still removing the stripped bodies.
Most of the soldiers in the east city went to the city wall to defend themselves. Some pirates had changed into soldiers' armor in the city before, and by surprise, dozens of guards outside the conference hall were killed by the pirates. Now there are dozens more who have changed into guards' armor.
Armor,
Salladhor Saan "You, come here, take this document to the tower, and ask the soldiers to send a signal to the navy. All the pirate ships in the port now belong to us, and ask the navy to stop attacking."
When the pirates in the hall came out with more than a dozen heads, Salladhor Sahn led the "guards" towards North Port.
One of his subordinates asked, "Chief, do you want the money?"
Salladhor Saan "This money can only be obtained after Lys wins. After today, we will never come here again. The armor and weapons you wear today do not need to be turned in, they all belong to you!"<

The Volantis fleet and the Lys city fleet have been enemies for hundreds of years. The two sides often have small-scale conflicts at sea, and their hatred has become irreconcilable.
When the city of Lys was attacked by unknown forces and had to return to defense after being ordered to do so, the Volantis fleet also followed up from a distance. As a result, they encountered a God-given opportunity. The navy of Lys was fighting two forces, and several naval admirals discussed
Finally, it was decided that this time all the navy in Reese would be wiped out in one fell swoop.
The horn from the tower issued an order to Lys's navy. The ships parked in North Island Port are our own, and we are now attacking the enemy forces outside Volantis and Westport with all our strength.
The two regular armies who were life-and-death enemies fought extremely fiercely at sea. The sea was full of burning warships and the cries of people boarding battles. Blood and corpses dyed the seawater outside Beigang red, attracting countless sharks and
All kinds of carnivorous fish, if caught at this time, the people on the boat will die if they fall into the water, and the bodies will not be found.
The powerful offensive of the Volantis fleet gave the Iron Islands and pirates an opportunity.
Salladhor Saan had a document signed by the governor, and his men were wearing soldiers' armor. He quickly passed through the defense line of Leis ground troops and reached the North Island port.
When the pirates came to the North Island port, there were more than a hundred ships of various sizes. Now many of them have been caught on fire and damaged, and there are still more than thirty ships intact.
Salladhor Sann is now worried that he, with more than a hundred people, cannot drive these more than thirty ships.
A group of people walked through the port, and every time they passed a intact ship, Salladhor Saan spoke
"You are now the captain of this ship. Take your brothers and set up the ship to go west. Try your best to break out of the encirclement without fighting."
When only the last crew members were left, Salladhor Saan did the math
"A dozen ships turned into more than 20, no one was lost, and a profit was made! Brothers boarded the ship to break out!"
Asha found Baelor Blacktys, the patriarch of the family. After listening to Asha's advice, she said that she had never wanted the Iron Horses to make a living by looting like this again. This time, she could help bring down the leader of the raiding faction.
One of them pulled him into the water.
Xion found the flag of the Drum family in the chaotic crowd, and they were fighting the city defense army.
"There is a military order!"
"There is a military order!"
Theon yelled and finally saw "Bonehand" Dunstan Drum from the crowd.
Upon hearing the military order, Dunstan Zhuogu also withdrew from the front line of the battle, letting the rest of the family take over.
Both of them were covered in blood, Theon's blood had dried and stuck to the armor, and Dunstan Drum's blood was still dripping.
"Duke Shavon Porter ordered a retreat."
Dunstan Drum was furious, "What? Retreating now without grabbing anything? He is a coward, and he is still a bastard Duke of the Iron Islands. Go to King's Landing and farm for Robert!"
The spittle sprayed onto Xion's face, and Xion wiped it with his hand: "There are two unknown fleets at sea now fighting. Each one is stronger than ours. If we don't leave, it will be too late!"
"Get out!"
Dunstan Zhuogu turned around, holding his sword and going to kill someone again.
"Lord Dunstan, wait a moment."
Theon walked up to him and whispered a few words to him.
Dunstan Drum put a hand on Theon's shoulder. "Are you sure?"
Theon "This is Duke Shavon Porter's idea. I am only responsible for delivering the message."
Dunstan Drum looked at Theon and thought, this time Shavin was judged by Robert and lost his position as Duke. The two most powerful families in the Iron Islands are his Drum and Harlaw families.
The two families will fight to the death for the position of duke.
If Horas Harlaw is dealt with now, the remaining leader of the Harlaw family is just a scholar, and there is nothing to fear. In the future, my family will have the opportunity to become the most powerful family in the Iron Islands, and even the Duke.
.
Dunstan Zhuogu "I don't believe you, I want to talk to Duke Chaweng personally."
Theon shrugged.
Dunstan Drum deliberately wiped the blood off the Red Rain Sword with his robe in front of Theon, walked towards the West City, put the sword on his shoulder and shouted, "Warriors of the Drum family, Duke Shavon Porter
Ordered to retreat, let's go! Head to the West City!"
The ironborn gradually retreated, but the city defense army did not pursue them, because there was another crisis outside the port, the mortal enemy Volantis, and they had to deploy defenses at the port.
Information about the battlefields in the city was collected by the governor's herald. The herald quickly compiled it into words and ran to the governor's palace on the mountain.
"The governors were assassinated!"
The herald ran down the mountain in panic and into the office of the city defense commander on the city wall. After hearing this, the surrounding soldiers gathered around him.
The city defense commander was furious, "What's going on?"
The herald was frightened by the situation on the mountain and spoke nervously, "The governors have all had their heads chopped off and are all dead!"
The city defense commander handed him a glass of water and said, "Tell me slowly, what's going on."
The herald picked up the water cup with trembling hands and drank water. The city defense commander walked behind him, drew his sword and pierced the herald's throat.
"The news of the murder of the governors cannot be spread for the time being. Our brothers at sea are still fighting. Once the news spreads, the entire fleet will collapse!"
The herald is not his subordinate, the soldiers present are all his confidants.
"I am the Acting Governor now! I take over all affairs in Lys City and pass on the orders. Now all the information is reported to me!"
"As you command!"
The soldiers all felt that he was right, and everyone began to take over various affairs as planned, and some smart soldiers began to offer various strategies to the new acting governor. As long as the war is won, the agent will become the real governor.
All the Iron Islands families on the island have received orders to retreat. Some people are unwilling to do so, but most of the troops have left, and it will definitely not end well if they stay here.
But you can't come in vain. Anything of value that you see along the way will be taken away. Weapons, armor, food, iron hoes, and a few Lis women who are still alive. Even cats and dogs are not spared. They have to catch them.
Eat on the go.
The Ironborn burned, killed, and looted, leaving everything in shambles, which deeply shocked Theon, Asha, and Baelor Blacktail.
It's already dawn, and the war that has been going on all night is not over yet.
The Iron Islands fleet abandoned some of the broken ships and quickly fled north. On the way, they encountered Salladhor Saan's pirates. The pirates were still wearing the armor of the Lys City army. The Ironborn did not grab anything in their trip.
Nearly one-fifth of the people died, more than a hundred warships were destroyed, and they fled in a hurry. They were holding back their anger. Now they see Liz's fleet and they dare to pursue them. If they rush forward, they will start a fight. p>
The pirates also went north to join Stannis. They only had about twenty ships, so how could they dare to fight this pirate fleet that appeared out of nowhere? They all rowed northward desperately to escape.
Both sides chase me and head north towards the Stone Steps Islands.
Outside the city of Lys, the Volantis fleet is chasing the few Lysian warships. At the port, the Volantis have already landed and are fighting with the city defense army. Lys's defeat in this war has been determined.
