Game of Thrones' opening sold the gods

Chapter 81. The Battle of the Dreadfort
The Dreadfort is located on the east side of Winterfell, almost in a straight line.

By the time Theon came under the Dreadfort, the Dreadfort was already surrounded.

The nobles who had sworn allegiance to the Bolton family before were all silent at the moment, as if they didn't know that the Dreadfort had been surrounded.

Originally, they were unwilling to be loyal to the Bolton family, but they were too close to the Bolton family's Dreadfort, so they had to swear allegiance to the Bolton family.

As for those little nobility who want to become "Dragon Contributors", the Bolton family doesn't need to count on them.

When we arrived at the military account, several generals had been waiting for a long time.

"Your Majesty, Roose Bolton seems to be planning to defend the Dreadfort. Are we going to attack the city?" Grutan asked.

Dreadfort is the second largest city in the north, second only to Winterfell, and coupled with the severe cold climate in the north, this is also the confidence that Roose Bolton dared to fight to the death.

As long as he persisted until Ramsay succeeded, Theon might withdraw his army, and Roose Bolton was betting on that possibility.

It's not that Luce wants to gamble. As a wise and calculating nobleman, he rarely does things that he is not sure of, such as now.

Luce knew that Theon would kill him, and killing him had too many benefits, such as negotiating with the Stark family, or giving Theon himself a proof, so that the northern nobles would more likely accept Theon.

Regardless of the point, Theon killed him, the man who had betrayed his monarch, and it would be beneficial and harmless.

Therefore, Luce had to resist, and had to gamble on the plan with a low success rate. As long as Ramsay could hijack Selena, he would have bargaining chips and give himself a chance to breathe.

And Theon has already begun to prepare for the siege. For this trip to the north, the tools have developed a giant cannon, which uses solid granular wildfire.

The energy released by wildfire explosions is no worse than gunpowder. As early as the establishment of tools, Theon began to let people study gunpowder.

However, the energy released by the explosion of gunpowder has always been very low, failing to achieve the desired result by Theon, and the research on the whole gunpowder is also very slow.

On the contrary, wildfires are progressing rapidly. Because of an accident, a method for making solid wildfires was discovered. Unlike liquid wildfires, solid wildfires are relatively more stable. Under the same amount, solid wildfires are more explosive.

Later, after continuous research and attempts, Gongqi Bureau finally produced granular wildfire, and the siege gun was the first attempt to apply granular wildfire.

In the astonishment of the defenders of the Dreadfort, three strangely shaped objects were quickly assembled by the Hejian army.

The scattered bombs were put into the barrel, and as the soldier pulled the fuse, there was a violent roar.

In the expectant eyes of everyone, a scattered bomb and two solid bullets bombarded the wooden gate of the Dreadfort.

The city gate was torn apart in an instant, and even many soldiers who hadn't reacted were pierced by scattered bullets.

Seeing this scene, Theon showed surprise on his face. The siege cannon was similar to the ancient earthen cannon. The firing interval was too long and the life of the barrel was too short, but there was no doubt that it was very powerful.

It is a pity that limited by the current level of technology, it is easy to make this kind of giant earth cannon, but it is still impossible to make such finer weapons as matchlock guns and flintlock guns.

Theon himself remembered the general structure of flintlock guns and matchlock guns, but after countless bombings, he found that such small weapons and backward steel technology could not produce metal parts that met the requirements.

Even this kind of giant cannon called "Tsunami" is at risk of exploding after 20 times of use. In order to verify the service life of the tsunami cannon, the condemned prisoners in the river land were all killed. a little better.

However, it is not that the chamber will definitely explode after more than 20 times, but after more than [-] times, there will be a risk of explosion.

Therefore, Theon set an internal rule that all tsunami cannons that have been used more than 20 times will be sold to the free city-state of Essos at a high price.

The cost of a tsunami is about 600 gold dragons, and a tsunami sold to the free city-state of Essos is [-] gold dragons, and the shells are not included.

The so-called cannon fire, ten thousand taels of gold, the arms trade has always been one of the most profitable businesses.

Unlike Thushien's elation, the Dreadfort, whose city gate was smashed in an instant, showed panic. They didn't understand what the loud weapon was, but they saw the tragedy of the city gate.

As Theon gave the order to attack, the soldiers formed an army and began to move towards the gate, while only a sparse rain of arrows shot from the walls of the Dreadfort.

Apparently most of the soldiers had already started sneaking away. Anyway, the gate of the city had been broken. Facing tens of thousands of well-equipped soldiers, it was obvious that the defeat was doomed.

Nobody wants to die!
As the soldiers dispersed, the defenses of the Dreadfort were quickly disintegrated, and a large number of soldiers poured into the city.

However, the civilians of the Dreadfort discovered that the soldiers in the Riverlands had strict military discipline, and no one burned, killed, looted, and there were no strong women in the soldiers.

Even many bold civilians dared to poke their heads out and carefully observe this "strange" army.

In fact, for the soldiers in Hejian Land, the things they snatched from civilians might not be as high as their daily salary, and they would be sent to military courts.

As for strong women, it is even more impossible, let alone what the women look like, just in Xueyue City in the Riverland, they will pick and choose the girls there, and the women in the northern border are really good at it. to mouth.

Many young soldiers had no family and had nothing to spend with such a high salary, so they basically went to Xueyue City to wash their feet.

Sean bought the brothel in Riverland a long time ago, renamed it Xueyue City, and added some modern business models, completely renovating the brothel.

Many soldiers and nobles are members of Xueyue City.

In Dreadfort, as the gate of the castle was knocked open, Theon walked into the cold and damp castle.

"Marquis Bolton, oh~ no, Duke Bolton, uh, not right, ah, I remembered, His Majesty Bolton, haha."

"Honorable King of the North, Your Majesty Bolton, may I ask why the fireplace is not lit in your castle? No firewood?"

"Come on, light the castle, and don't freeze Lord Bolton to death!"

Theon's voice was very serious, as if he was really worried about Roose Bolton's body.

"Theon Greyjoy, I heard that your wife is pregnant?" Roose Bolton was not affected by Theon's strange aura.

Hearing Luce's words, Theon was taken aback. Theon didn't hide the fact that Selena was pregnant, and almost everyone knew about it.

But why did Roose Bolton bring it up, to celebrate himself?
Theon really didn't think about assassination and kidnapping, because Selena lived in the
"Um, my wife is indeed pregnant, do you want to send your blessing, Lord Bolton?" Theon said indifferently.

Luce got himself a glass of wine, and then pretended to be confident and said: "My son Ramsay has already taken the most elite killers of the Dreadfort to the Iron Islands.

I know this approach is as disgraceful as your taking Moat Cailin, but your wife and unborn child are in my hands, and I've got a letter from Ramsay, and he's succeeded. "

Theon's complexion changed drastically, and he shouted angrily, "You despicable villain, you don't deserve to be called a nobleman!"

When Luce saw Theon being bluffed by him, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and then counterattacked: "Sir Theon, your method of taking Calim Bay and White Harbor is also disgraceful."

Theon suddenly "calmed down" at this time, and then calmly said: "Fort Pike is guarded by elite iron guards, your stupid son can't sneak in!"

Seeing Theon start to "doubt", Roose Bolton suddenly raised his heart again, secretly thinking that this little sea monster is really not easy to fool.

Afterwards, Luce turned on his mouth skills again, frantically telling how cruel and cunning Ramsay is, and easily sneaked into the castles of several nobles who disobeyed him, and cut off the heads of the disobedient nobles .

There was an "uneasy" look on Theon's face, and then he said, "What do you want?"

Hearing Theon's words, Roose Bolton knew that he had saved his life, and at the same time secretly rejoiced that Theon was still too young.

So Luce began to express his conditions symbolically, asking for 200 million golden dragons, 2 armors and weapons, and a lot of food.

And after Theon gave up Kalin Bay and White Harbor, he promised not to invade the North in any form in the future.

"When you withdraw to the riverlands and give up Calim Bay and White Harbor, I will write to Ramsay and ask him to send your wife back." Roose Bolton finally said.

"Okay, I agree to your terms."

Hearing Theon's promise, Roose Bolton immediately took out the banknotes and asked Theon to sign and press his fingerprints.

Theon picked up the quill, and a friendly smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Then he said, "Come here, tie Roose Bolton to me and send him to Winterfell!"

Hearing Theon's voice, Luce's face changed greatly, "Theon, do you want to disregard your wife's life? If your vassals know about this, do you know how it will affect you?"

Theon smiled and said, "Luce, if you say that the illegitimate son of Ramsay sneaked into the Red Keep and raped Cersei, I will consider the authenticity."

Afterwards, Theon ignored Roose Bolton's threat. Theon knew how well-guarded Fort Pike was, not to mention that both Selena and Myrcella lived in Sun Garden.

Not to mention the Apollo in the cave, even the free-range Heixi in the garden can't deal with it now!

You must know that Hei Xi is already two meters tall at the shoulders, what is the concept?
Standing on all fours, his shoulders are 2.2 meters high, taller than Yao Ming including his head.

And the development of the matter is almost the same as Theon speculated.

Ramsay and his party rode fast, traveling day and night.

As a result, the first step encountered a huge setback!
