The Ironborn are actually not much different from the rest of Westeros.
Although they have the blood of the ancestors, most of them are already Andal blood flowing in their bones.
Therefore, in addition to their red and rough cheeks due to the strong sea breeze blowing all year round, their muddy accents, as if they had a mouthful of phlegm, can further distinguish their identities.
However, the most direct thing is the epaulettes and cloaks on the shoulders of these soldiers.
They are the most unique navy in the empire, and all young and old, women and children can join the battle if they pick up a sword. They are a powerful iron fleet that sweeps across the Sunset Sea.
Therefore, although the Iron Islands were emptied of their population due to what happened thirty years ago, the Iron Fleet still maintains a strong combat capability after years of population relocation and transformation.
However, the Iron Islands have always maintained a cautious attitude towards the "War of Gold and Silver" in Westeros.
The current Governor of the Iron Islands, Euron Greyjoy, is also the commander-in-chief of the Iron Fleet.
After taking control of the Imperial Council, Horos issued edicts to all directions in the name of the Prince Regent, requiring governors from various places to come to the imperial capital to meet and report on their duties.
However, Euron, like the governors of many places, chose a cautious attitude. He replied that he was loyal to the Iron Throne without any hesitation, and then found a reason to excuse himself from going.
Generally speaking, under the system of aristocratic election and the emperor's appointment, those who can become governors have no job.
Except for the nobles who are seeking greater interests or preserving their existing foundations, the rest of them try to remain neutral and do not easily get involved in the fight for the throne.
However, now, Euron, who has always been low-key since his sudden change of temper many years ago, has actually joined the side of the eldest princess.
And if the Iron Fleet suddenly joined Her Royal Highness the Princess while she was marching, and then changed ships and sailed towards King's Landing on the Iron Fleet's warship, then all the mysteries would be solved.
"It turns out that Her Royal Highness the Princess has at some point gathered the surrender of the Governor of the Iron Islands."
"If it's the Iron Fleet, then everything makes sense."
The harbormaster of Blackwater Bay felt bitter in his heart. After all, he was a close confidant of Heros. If His Highness Heros fell, his position might not be guaranteed, but it was better than losing his life.
If you can be decisive and surrender, maybe you can keep this position based on your performance.
To be able to make a difference in the court where he is now the king in the peaceful years, everyone is a human being, so he made a calculation in his heart and abandoned his master without hesitation.
However, it was a pity that the soldiers of the Iron Fleet ignored him. At the same time, in addition to the soldiers of the Iron Fleet, a large number of soldiers from the North also stepped off the warship.
thump thump thump
He saw the mighty and domineering Governor of the North, Robb Stark, wearing a wolf fur, walking down the wooden gangway from the deck.
He is also a well-known general in the empire, but he is far behind Basie and Oberyn in terms of seniority and reputation.
Next to Robb Stark is another handsome and handsome Stark general named Brandon Stark.
He smiled implicitly at the harbormaster, but said nothing, and then left.
Then he even saw a female general wearing a black bear crest.
The other party was wearing armor with a long sword hanging on his waist. He was filled with murderous aura, and his face was arrogant and indifferent. He turned a blind eye to the harbor master's gaze and strode away.
Following closely behind him was a man wrapped in a black robe. He slightly raised his head and looked at the prosperous King's Landing with nostalgia, where he once briefly lived.
However, the harbormaster saw in this sudden glance that the other party's face was extremely pale, even like a dead person.
But not until the harbor master of Blackwater Bay opened his mouth in surprise.
Then there was a woman with skin as pale as moonlight, blue eyes like stars, flawless white hair, beautiful cheeks, and a black stone necklace on her chest.
The other party was carrying a transparent ice long bow, but without a quiver. She came up behind the black-robed man just now, then patted his butt and joked with him, asking him what he was looking at.
"This is"
Then this beautiful woman with white hair, exuding a physically cold aura, like a big ice cube, seemed to feel the harbormaster's gaze.
She turned her head to look at the other person, and found that the other person was looking at him as if he had seen a ghost, and his big mouth seemed to be able to stuff an apple.
Then the beautiful white-haired woman smiled slightly at the other party and nodded.
It seems that he has long been accustomed to such shocked looks.
"Hey, Lyanna"
On the other side, the man wrapped in a black robe was slapped on the buttocks by the white-haired woman, and he immediately raised his head in dissatisfaction, as if he was saying something.
But the white-haired woman didn't care and was still smiling.
Then the harbor master of Blackwater Bay saw a maggot falling from the eye socket of the man wrapped in a black robe.
"What kind of gods are these...?"
The harbor master of Blackwater Bay once traveled all over the country and saw a lot of interesting things, big and small.
However, I have never been so shocked, and I feel like the worldview I have lived for decades has collapsed.
Why is there a dead person who can talk and is very talkative?
And next to the dead man, if the stories he has heard throughout his life are not false,
Isn't that a White Walker?!
Haven't the White Walkers been exterminated by His Majesty the Great Emperor?
Why is there still a living female White Walker in this world? And she seems to have nodded and smiled at him?
The north of the empire is the end of the world. Through the Neck, the White Walkers were born and the long night of the North is full of mystery.
However, the Harbor Master had met many people from the North. He was a shipping officer who was personally promoted by Heros when he was in Seagull Town. But at this moment, his world view collapsed.
He stood there blankly, watching the dead pair of ghosts and wights go away, and then a voice came down from the deck.
"Good day, Lord Rod Cowart, long time no see."
The harbormaster from the Cowat family of Coldwater City in the Valley heard someone calling his name. He shuddered and woke up from the shock.
Then he turned his head and saw an even more horrifying scene.
A short dwarf with gray hair and very well-dressed clothes was walking down from the deck on his short legs.
