Barristan and Stannis attacked Old Wyke Island. Werther and several other warships carrying messages and important prisoners of war set off to join Robert. By the time they met, Robert had already captured Great Wyke Island and was now working on it.
Prepare to attack Pyke Island.
There are Pyke City and King's Harbor on Pyke Island. King's Harbor is the residence of the Portley family and the nearest large port to Pyke City. Pyke City is the residence of the Greyjoy family. The capture of the Rebel King's City means that this
At the end of this rebellion, even if Balon escaped, the morale of the army was gone and there was no possibility of gathering again.
Werther's ship docked next to Robert's flagship. After boarding the ship, he saw Robert discussing the attack plan with everyone. The name of King's Harbor sounded grand, but in fact only a few buildings were built with stone, and most of them were made of wood.
The Turley family's fortress is also made of wood, so a large amount of fire starter materials were prepared for this attack.
Robert saw Werther arriving and asked
"This time we use fire attack. I heard that you burned more than 200 Balon warships in the naval battle on Fairy Island. Has the magic recovered now?"
"I haven't replied yet, so I can only protect myself." Witte saw so many nobles and generals beside him.
[Even if most of the magic power has been restored, I will not say anything. With the current magic power, it is no problem to use fire magic to burn most of the King's Port, but what are these people coming all the way? They just want to make a contribution, I will do it by myself
Wouldn't it be hateful to take all the credit? Robert is probably on top again. He wants to be invincible, not an enemy of the world. Brother, please don't hurt me.]
Robert didn't think much and said to the nobles and generals:
"Then we should proceed according to our original plan. The warships will directly attack the port to hold back the rebels. The landing troops will disembark from outside the city and then attack from the land. Witte, you will go and land the troops."
Werther accepted the order and thought, "This attack on King's Port is planned to be a waste of labor. It will be useful when we attack Pike City. It is best to kill several members of the Greyjoy family directly, and not to allow Robert to develop his style."
Opportunity.】
Robert is not good at naval combat, so he can only go to the landing side. Most of the people from the north are not good at naval combat, and many can't even swim, so they are all heavily armored.
Werther asked Renly to protect Robert personally, and he went to the ship of the landing force. The battle started quickly, and the naval battle held back the rebels guarding the port. The landing went smoothly. Werther ran around with the guards and did not see anyone he knew.
, we can only follow the large troops to attack the port.
Because I wanted to be lazy this time, I ran slower and slower. When I gradually reached the end of the army, the soldiers saw that they were wearing noble robes and holding swords. They were not even wearing armor and were accompanied by guards. They all thought that Werther was the noble son who came to fight for melee.
Cast a look of contempt.
Werther was too lazy to pay attention to these people and just followed the large army slowly. He waited until the entire port was burned into a sea of flames before entering the city.
[Although my own magic is very powerful, in the face of the human sea tactics, I can charge with the corpses of friendly soldiers as shields. Once I get close, I will be hacked to death with random knives.]
The attack went smoothly, mainly because the opponent's defense facilities were too poor. Once the Iron Islands fleet was wiped out, in addition to a few fortresses, there were wooden walls on the land. It was okay to defend against pirates, but when encountering regular troops, they were basically pushed aside. p>
The battle ended quickly. The entire Portley family of King's Harbor was captured, and the entire port was basically abandoned. The soldiers began to tear down the wood from the houses to build siege equipment.
The logistics force also docked and sent several teams of scouts to monitor Pike City. The remaining soldiers began to set up camp and make fires to cook. It will take two or three days to complete the construction of engineering equipment.
Found Robert's camp, this guy was drinking with Eddard Stark and the generals of the North again. Many of the people here were old friends who had raised troops with Robert a few years ago, some of them were several years old.
No, we couldn’t get together on our respective boats before, but now we are chatting happily.
Werther said hello to his acquaintances, filled a wine glass with wine, and found a place to sit down. Robert introduced everyone:
"This is my fourth brother Veidt Baratheon. Some friends have never seen him, and some friends have seen him as a child a few years ago. Now he is old enough to go on the battlefield."
Seeing the looks cast by everyone, they looked familiar as if Eddard Stark was looking at an old friend. Others probably heard rumors that a young man like Veidt was wandering behind the battlefield today, with contempt in his eyes.
People don't like to show off. If Robert hadn't been there, some people would have cursed.
Werther had expected it and explained
"I have been storing magic power during this period in order to attack Pike City. I will use magic to destroy the city wall. Brother Robert, you can order to stop building siege equipment, and we can start attacking the city at dawn tomorrow!"
"I have seen your magic in the Red Keep before. Fire, frost, lightning, I believe no one can bear it when it hits people, but it doesn't seem to have much effect on the walls of the Red Keep?"
Robert was also a little unconvinced and expressed his knowledge of Werther's magic. At the same time, he also wanted Werther to explain to everyone. After all, it was a major military matter. Although he trusted his brother, he gave up building siege equipment and gathered an army to attack the city. When something went wrong, he was shaken.
Morale is in trouble.
"Brother, you have forgotten, I know more than just magic like fire, ice, lightning."
After speaking, Werther used the Magic Light Technique, and a ball of light flew out of his hand and swirled around his body.
Except for Robert, everyone at the scene saw real magic for the first time. Robert had been surrounded by several circles of guards when he visited Great Whicker Island. Renly followed and had no chance to use it, so they all gathered around to observe.
"Okay, send an order to stop building siege equipment, and assemble the entire army at dawn tomorrow to attack Pike City."
The king's official order was issued, and everyone could no longer stay here to drink. They all went to reorganize the army, and soon only the Baratheon brothers were left.
In fact, Robert himself was also curious
"Fourth, you have been studying magic these years, and all kinds of new magic are emerging one after another, but what magic are you going to use to destroy the city wall tomorrow?"
"Probably the most difficult type of magic, High Valyrian magic."
"High Valyrian?" Robert heard the Valyrian word and became alert.
Witte knew what he was worried about. "High Valyrian is completely different from ordinary Valyrian, and the use of magic is a higher level. I think the Targaryen family has lost it when they were in the Eastern Continent."
Magic can only be used as a language. Even the advanced language has been lost by Prince Rhaegar's generation, and he only knows ordinary Valyrian. This language is spoken by many people in the Eastern Continent."
Robert felt relieved
"I really had a dream about the descendants of the Targaryen family returning to King's Landing."
"I have the most say in this world regarding magic. I taught Renly a complete set of advanced Valyrian and magic spells, and he can't even use them, so I don't have to worry, big brother."
Robert turned to look at Renly, and Renly also said
"It's very complicated. I've been researching it for half a year and I haven't made any progress. It feels like it's another magic system."
Witte said in his heart [That's for sure. High Valyrian magic is actually a dragon's roar. It can't be used without a dragon soul in the body]
"In addition, brother, you can also ask your intelligence chief to pay attention to magic-related events in the mainland, including people and objects. If they can't find out, let me investigate."
Robert took a sip of wine, looked at Werther and asked, "Yes?"
"There are too few mages." Witte sighed [The recovery of magic power in this world is irreversible. There will definitely be more and more people with magic power in the future, including the green seers and shapechangers in the mainland, the faceless men in the eastern continent, and the King of Light.
.There are other hidden factions that will take action in the future, and they will each pull potential seeds into their own factions.]
"Magic is a treasure. There are only two of us, Renly and I. Even if we spend our whole lives, we can't see the end, so when I find a suitable candidate, I will recruit an apprentice to teach magic. Renly is now qualified to teach the restoration department, etc.
In a few years, he will be able to accept disciples."
Werther looked at Robert seriously
"Of course, you still have to check the background before accepting an apprentice. I don't mind where you are from, poor or noble. Even if you are a slave, I will accept you as an apprentice. But if you are an enemy, it is better for me to deal with it in advance."
"Our Baratheon family does not have dragons, but our family has magicians." Robert also understood that the enemy's future magicians would be dealt with in advance, and if other magicians were taught by the Baratheon family, they would have no influence on the kingdom.
