When Werther and Odawein rushed to the west coast of the city wall, the Iron Islands were launching a second siege against the Bear Island fleet.
The country has entered a state of war, and attacking other human armies during this period will be considered treason. Seeing Sansa and Geralt on the ship below, they kept using magic to kill the Iron Islanders who boarded the ship, and came with the king's military order.
Werther no longer restrained himself and ordered Audawei Ying to spit dragon fire at the besieging crowd.
The ships on Bear Island were crowded together. Sansa used dragon roar to avoid destroying the ships, so she kept using ice magic and four flying metal arms to attack the enemy. Geralt was guarding her with a sword. Sansa was responsible for the distant enemy.
Lott was in charge of the close quarters, and the two of them, who cooperated tacitly, killed countless enemies, but they also had the largest number of people surrounding them. As long as they captured these two, the other mages would not be afraid.
More and more people were killed. When the two of them were almost exhausted, Aoda Weiying swooped down from the clouds. The dragon flames broke through the ice, leaving a long gap on the frozen sea. There he stood.
The Iron Islanders were either burned to the bone or fell into the icy sea.
Werther fell from the air to Sansa's side, and several red sword energy flew by, creating several strings of half-broken bodies. Seeing the red crescent flying from the ship across their heads, the people of the Iron Islands threw away their weapons and surrendered.
The gap in the wall of Pike City that was collapsed by Veteron's roar still remains there more than twenty years later. Some young people have heard the story of Veteran from their mothers since childhood. He was the executioner who made the people of the Iron Islands lose their independence and dignity.
The Drowned God's old enemy is a demon.
The people still alive on the ship began to cheer, and after a short celebration, they walked down the deck to collect the weapons dropped by the Iron Islanders, and escorted the prisoners to the shore in a line.
Dozens of nobles gathered around Werther, and after Jorah told him, Werther understood the whole story.
This group of people evacuated from the Shadow Tower. The Mormont family from Bear Island moved their entire family, taking their property and all the fleets south with them. On the way, they also included the Glover family from Deepwood Castle and Dustin from Barrowton.
Family joins.
When they arrived on the west coast of Moat Cailin, the Iron Islanders garrisoned here enthusiastically helped to tie the ship to the shore, and launched a sneak attack on them that night. Fortunately, some mages came with the ship, and the battle also took place on
On land, the tall and powerful Northerners repelled the first wave of offensive.
Afterwards, the Iron Islanders used this excuse to say that the Northerners had killed their people, and mobilized almost all the Iron Islanders, leading to the current second battle.
"Duke Werther! I am Dunstan Drogu, and I helped you defeat Tyrosh City back then! This is a misunderstanding!"
Witte ignored the Iron Islands nobles who were kneeling on the ground with their hands tied, and instead grabbed several junior noble officers and took them aside for interrogation.
The young officer faced Werther and the Northerners who wanted to kill him, then turned to look at his companions who were already dead on the side and refused to speak. He truthfully told the reason why the Iron Islanders launched the attack.
The Iron Islands have resentment towards the Seven Kingdoms, and they hate Robert for bringing them to a standstill. Here, Renly issued a national conscription order, and more than a dozen nobles discussed it. Anyway, the White Walkers cannot reach the Iron Islands, which is located on the sea, so this trip must not be in vain.
To participate in the war, the lords had to provide their own food and weapons. The Iron Islands had been suppressed for a long time due to Robert's policies and were not rich in material resources. This time they simply brought only twenty days of food, thinking that the royal family must provide them with it.
Supplies, or find an excuse to retreat to the Iron Islands.
Not long after arriving and stationed on the west coast, a war between the Northmen and the White Walkers took place at the gate of the Cailin Bay Fortress, which completely made the Iron Islanders understand the situation. With the arrival of reinforcements from the dukedoms, the Iron Islanders were even more worried.
They dared to ask for food from the royal family. Fortunately, the cold and hungry Iron Islanders finally waited for the Bear Island fleet with a large amount of supplies.
What happened after that was very simple, a battle started with the purpose of robbing everyone, killing everyone and shifting the responsibility to the White Walkers.
"Sir Jorah! In the name of the contemporary head of the Zhuogu family, I, Dunstan, officially give you the Red Rain Sword. Please forgive the Zhuogu family for their crimes!" Dunstan looked at the northerners who had returned from the interrogation, knowing that Witte was not
He ignored him and kept shouting at Jorah.
Jorah walked up to him, looked down, raised his hand and touched the bear's head on the hilt of the long-clawed sword at his waist: "The Red Rain Sword is already the trophy of Duke Werther, and my family is not short of this money. If my son wants me
Just go to Tyrosh and buy him one!"
Today's Mormont family is not a fringe noble that was extremely poor in its original life. Relying on its business with the Werthers, Eddards, and Hightowers, its wealth in the North is ranked behind that of the Starks, Boltons, and Manns.
Fourth place after Dele.
But Jorah is still reluctant to buy a new Valyrian steel sword. One is enough for a family, and more is a curse. The example of the Lannister family is there.
Jorah's eldest son has reached the age of 16 and his name is Caleb Mormont. He is a strong, tall black-haired boy. He supports his mother, Lynys Hightower, who is still in her forties and still has charm.
come over.
"Duke Werther, Dunstan openly clamored for me to sleep with all their lords in front of us before. This not only insulted me and Mormont, but also insulted the Hightower family." Lyness used her family's charm.
Pressure, suddenly implicated Dunstan's crime in the Reach.
"That's not what I said!" Dunstan raised his head and looked at Linnis to deny it.
Keller raised his kick and kicked him in the mouth, causing Dunstan's mouth to be filled with blood: "We all heard it coming from your mouth!"
Werther stood with his hands on his chest and looked at them. Regardless of whether this matter was true or not, it seemed that the Mormont family wanted to put Dunstan to death.
"Jorah, are all the nobles here?" Veidt counted the number of people kneeling here again. There were only more than a hundred nobles, less than half of the list of nobles in the Iron Islands.
Looking at the surrounding northern soldiers who were still counting the prisoners, Jorah was not sure where those people had gone: "They may have fallen into the sea."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this time, Sansa brought Geralt to Werther's side. Sansa's sleeves were empty, and her metal arm was being held in Geralt's arms.
The cloth wiped the blood stains on it.
"They're all dead! I tore Shavon Botley, Duke of the Iron Islands, into five pieces, and the head of Horas Harlaw is still on the ship. We are outnumbered, and the two of us are very dedicated in the battle.
Find the richly dressed leader to kill." Sansa, who was wearing a white mask, said in a calm tone, as if she had killed a few chickens.
"I also killed some nobles, but I don't recognize their flags." Geralt also answered from behind.
No matter how the battle begins, after so many Iron Island nobles died, someone will definitely take responsibility. He killed the person himself, Sansa wanted to stand up and take the responsibility, and Geralt didn't want Sansa to suffer alone and take it on himself.
"There are also me, and many people have died at my hands!" After Anna Mormont stepped forward, the other northerners also spoke one by one.
Witte looked at Jorah: "Didn't you send out the messenger crows, and didn't you receive the messenger crows from Cailin Bay?"
Jorah: "When we were on Bear Island, we released all the messenger crows from all over the north, and not a single messenger crow came back from our voyage!"
Witte recalled the terrain in his mind. The messenger crows flying out from Bear Island could only go east. If none of them could return, it meant that the White Walkers had occupied most of the northern region and killed everyone they could see along the way.
Living thing.
They did not receive the message while sailing on the ice sea, and they did not know that the Iron Islanders had committed the most serious treason by acting like this. No noble in the Seven Kingdoms dared to plead for their lives.
Witte looked at the nervous people and said with a smile: "The king has already ordered the seven nations to enter a state of war. Any attack on humans in Westeros is considered treason. Only death awaits the people of the Iron Islands."
"Very good!"
The nobles maintained their demeanor, while the soldiers below began to cheer and celebrate collecting the spoils.
"The Vale Cavalry will come in two days. Just hand over the prisoners to them. I'll leave this place to you for defense. The official document will be sent after Robb signs it." The Iron Islanders were taken away, and Witte asked them to come.
Organize defense.
"Signed by Robb Stark?" Sansa's heartbeat began to quicken as she noticed the name Veidt mentioned.
After hearing what Sansa said, Jorah and others also looked at Werther.
Witte nodded slowly: "Edd died in the Battle of Cailin Bay, and the current Duke of the North is Robb Stark."
Sansa didn't cry loudly, but tears kept dripping from under the mask. Sansa's metal arm was still in Geralt's hand, and he quickly took off Sansa's mask and used his sleeve to wipe her tears.
A few days later, the Knights of the Vale picked up the prisoners of the Iron Islands, and Sansa also told Wit of the Green Seer's prophecy. Wit decided not to return to Moat Moir for the time being, and went north to Wolfwood with the two of them to look for Tyene.

Trees that have lasted for hundreds of years have been cut down and hauled away. Every few hundred meters along the long city wall, a large number of craftsmen are using firewood to boil water. Buckets of hot water are lifted up the city wall and poured into long troughs made of wooden boards to wait for the result.
ice.
Craftsmen and soldiers were busy making the walls wider and taller, and nobles gathered to watch the king execute the Iron Islanders.
"Dragon Flame!"
As Renly finished reading out the crime, Petwaha sprayed dragon fire on a bunch of living people, and quickly stuck out his tongue to roll the fresh roast into his mouth.
"Ah~~~" Katcha Katcha, the screams were accompanied by the sound of broken bones. The dragon ate the meat and bones with relish. The nobles of the North, the Riverlands and the West have been plagued by pirates for thousands of years.
He raised his sword and shouted excitedly.
"Baratheon!"
"The king is mighty!"
More than twenty years of long-term sanctions finally came to fruition, and the Iron Islanders themselves gave an impeccable reason for Renly to execute all the Iron Islands nobles.
Not only the nobles, but also some titled knights entered the dragon's belly this time. The remaining ordinary soldiers were not allowed to pick up weapons anymore, and they were assigned to become craftsmen to build the fortress.
Renly then shouted: "I declare that all the territory of the Iron Islands will be returned to the royal family! Old Wicker Island was given to the Mormont family to compensate for the losses. The remaining islands were used to reward those who fought bravely in this war.
!”
There was another burst of cheers from the audience. It was always the Ironborn who snatched their own territory, and now they can justifiably occupy the Ironborn's territory. Only the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, women and children are left on the island. Those who get the fief only need to send
A few teams of soldiers can take over if they go up there.
Jorah and his wife Lynyce were very happy in the audience. The king solved the serious problem of their own shipping and also received compensation for Old Wyke Island. This small island is located in the middle of the archipelago. It has no products but no big winds and waves, so it is very suitable for sailing.
Stopping and sheltering from the wind can also be used as a transfer point for long-distance cargo. When the war is over, the Bear Island fleet can grow again.
"Thank you, His Majesty the King!" Jorah knelt down on one knee and took the official document scroll from the Old Wyke Island from Renly.
"On behalf of House Hightower, I would like to thank His Majesty the King!" When Renly helped Lynyth stand up out of etiquette, she gently stroked Renly's palm with her soft fingertips.
But this trick was useless on Renly. Loras, the captain of the Kingsguard who followed Renly behind him, remained expressionless and motionless. He and Renly had been together for many years without even needing to make eye contact. To outsiders, he looked ordinary.
You can know each other's intentions with just a few movements, and now others can't tell that there is any close relationship between the two of them.
Renly smiled: "Lady Lynys, as the link between the Hightower and Mormont families, I hope you can assist Jorah in developing the western sea transport after the war."
"I will definitely live up to the king's grace." When Lynyth spoke, she deliberately blew her fragrant breath into Renly's face.
Renly sent the two of them back to the queue with a gentle and friendly smile, but he was thinking about other things.
Witte and Renly have discussed the cancer within the Seven Kingdoms many times. Now that the Iron Islands have destroyed themselves under the high-pressure policy, the next person to be cut with a soft knife is the Hightower family.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I have to admire Hightower’s excellent family education. Outstanding talents are born in every generation. The trade in the North, West and Tyrosh each time
They can let their family infiltrate it, and it is getting bigger and bigger, and the territory is getting wider and wider.
The Hightowers are not as stupid as the Ironborn, and they rarely get caught if they act cautiously. Werther and Renly cannot ride a dragon and burn his house down so recklessly, they plan to praise them and put the Hightowers in the spotlight.
Trade was held up to the sky, and then they fell hard.
Woo~~
A reconnaissance team rode into the Cailin Bay Fortress from the northern city gate.
In a military stronghold like Carlin Bay, everyone is accustomed to the sound of the horn, which is blown several times a day during this period.
Loras took out a long sword with a blood-red blade and gave it to Renly. Renly raised the sword high and said, "This Valyrian steel sword is called Red Rain. It originally belonged to Dunstan Drum, but now it belongs to Duke Werther."
Spoils of War. Jon!"
After Robb became the Duke of the North, he grew a mustache on his lips. Looking at Jon who was still wandering beside him, he slapped him on the back.
Jon staggered and looked back at Robb: "What are you doing?"
"The king calls you!" Robb kept winking at Jon.
The nobles around him all looked at him with smiles. Jon came back to his senses, adjusted his armor, straightened the golden one-shoulder cloak behind his back and walked to Renly.
Renly: "Jon single-handedly stopped the charging beasts and protected the safety of Sauron and the prince. Werther asked me to give this sword to you on his behalf."
Everyone present later heard about that battle. Without Jon's stoppage, no one would have survived after the herd of hidden White Walkers rushed into the battle. No one had any objections to giving the sword to Jon, only regrets. The sword is
With Werther's trophies, he could make Valyrian steel weapons himself. Everyone regretted that when Werther gave him one too.
After killing the nobles of the Iron Islands and giving them the Red Rain Sword, Renly and the nobles walked to the conference room talking and laughing, preparing to discuss the selection of the commander-in-chief.
Woo~~
There was another horn blast. Renly, who was still joking with the nobles, looked up at the top of the fortress. The two horn blasts meant that the wildlings were coming. Now all the wildlings outside the Great Wall had been killed by the White Walkers. Where did the wildlings come from? Everyone stood.
On the spot, anxiously waiting for the last trumpet to sound.
"No way, the White Walkers are coming at this time?"
"It's so early in the morning and I haven't eaten yet."
"The White Walkers don't eat breakfast!"
Woo~~
"Fuck him! Everyone is ready to fight!" Renly yelled regardless of his status as king.
