Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 161 Raging Sea and Storm

"Don't take it seriously, it's all lies."

After the wildling Osha left, King Balon said so.

"We want to go south, but we definitely don't want to obediently serve the little king. There is only one purpose, to make this war longer."

"Three years, five years, ten years, until they bleed like stranded whales."

Asha understood.

The father didn't choose who, but wanted the weaker side to continue fighting and continue to tear the Seven Kingdoms apart.

The Iron Throne now, and possibly Renly later.

King Balon showed regret, "There are still too few kings in the Green Land, only two."

In the days when the Andal kings ruled Westeros separately, the longships of the Ironmen could ravage and occupy all the coasts.No single kingdom can match the longship fleet.

Aeron stared at his brother's crown, made of driftwood instead of black iron.

Since the Age of Heroes, Gray Sea King, beloved by the Drowned God, chose the "Crown of Driftwood" to show the power given by the sea.Later, the Rock King, the Sea Salt King, and later the High King of the Iron Islands all inherited the tradition of using driftwood as their crown.

However, after "Blood Hand" Uren broke the taboo and slaughtered the captains who participated in the Kingsmoot, the driftwood crown was terminated along with the Kingsmoot.

That was 5000 years ago.

Later kings are no longer jointly elected by all captains and monks, but hereditary to the eldest son of the old king.

The crown was also made of black iron.

Today, the blessed King Balon not only wants to practice the ancient way, but also restore the tradition?

Looking at the magnificent and huge driftwood crown, Aeron's voice trembled, "Your Majesty, where does the driftwood on this crown come from?"

According to tradition, after the death of each king, the driftwood crown worn by him was smashed and thrown back into the sea.His successor should make a new crown of driftwood from his home island that has just washed ashore, not the previous king's crown.

Of course, it is impossible to inherit now, the ancient driftwood crown has long since died.

Balon Greyjoy knew what Aeron was thinking, "The driftwood from Pyke just came over today. Thank you, the Drowned God, for giving me such a magnificent crown."

Aeron raised his hands excitedly, "The holy Drowned God has given a prophecy, and the Iron Island will surely regain its glory!"

The "drowned people" under my uncle love to spread stories of gods and gods.Asha guessed that within a few days, she would be able to hear this "prophecy" from the mouths of the whole island.

"Asha."

Hearing her father's call, Asha immediately raised her head and looked at her father firmly and respectfully.

King Balon began to announce the plan, "You will lead twenty longships into the Mander River, and attract the fleet of the Shield Islands to pursue. Be sure to choose the fastest longship. Then I will send Dagmar the Cleftjaw to you."

Am I a bait?Asha snorted coquettishly, "Well, because of Father's plan, I, a little girl, had no choice but to run away."

King Balon responded lightly, "You are my daughter and my son."

Asha froze for a moment, then tried to calm down the violent heartbeat in her body.Theon is still alive.However, can Sir Theon, who is loyal to the Iron Throne, still be considered the son of King Balon?

Immediately Asha's imagination wandered.

"Victarion." King Balon had already turned to his second brother.

"You are the main force of the battle. Approach the Shield Islands quietly, wait for the fleet to leave the port, and then launch a surprise attack to capture the castle. Then set up an ambush at the mouth of the Mande River and wipe out the fleet of the Shield Islands in one fell swoop."

The commander-in-chief of the Iron Fleet nodded silently, he never refused any battle.

"At that time, the entire northern coast of the Reach will be open to us." King Balon looked at his younger brother.

"Iron, take the longships of the leaders and 'exchange' the goods, slaves, gold, and food, and pay them iron money, so that the people of the Green Land can taste the taste of the ancient road."

"May the holy Drowned God bless our swords," replied the priest.

"There is also the fleet on Qingting Island."

Balon Greyjoy evidently had not forgotten this formidable opponent.

"For the sake of his two sons, Paxter didn't send troops to King's Landing. But for us, Redwyne probably couldn't wait."

"And now, King's Landing's fleet has gone south, heading towards Storm's End."

King Balon smiled coldly.

"Once Redwyne's fleet is dispatched, Asha, Victarion, Aeron, and all the longships stop moving and run south to lure the enemy to pursue them."

"Notify the little king again, let his fleet continue to go south, and destroy the Qingting Island fleet with us."

Asha couldn't help frowning.

The request of the Iron Throne was only to let the Iron Fleet settle down, but my father wanted to wear the crown and let the fleet attack the Reach.

After all, it is an invasion of enemy territory, and my father is willing to accept canonization and appointment.

The Iron Throne will most likely tolerate it.

But let the Iron Throne send a fleet to wage war on the Arbor Island fleet, which is not an enemy.

Hope it's not that big of a deal.

But Lord Balon said, "Either they come and make war on the Redwyne on the Arbor or off the coast of Dorne. Or we go, and the longships sail as far as the Stormlands, and lead the Redwyne fleet there, and see what he will do. "

If Redwyne refuses to leave his lair, then plunder the Reach.

But he knew that Euron must have more ambitions.

"Anyway."

King Baron seriously instructed, "Both sides are not good people. You must preserve your strength and look for opportunities to weaken their strength, especially the fleet."

"Bless the Drowned God."

"Let Redwin and King's Landing's fleet be wiped out after a decisive battle at sea."

How can this be?

Victarion looked into his elder brother's eyes and understood the meaning.

Aeron Greyjoy spread his arms like wings: "The wrath of the ocean will break out, and the great Drowned God will reign in the green lands!"

"The dead never die," groaned Victarion, and Lord Balon and Asha answered almost in unison.

Afterwards, several people left the study.

King Balon sat quietly in front of the brazier, and it took a long time before he said, "Go too, go to sleep with women, go to a banquet, get drunk, do whatever you want, don't be an eyesore here."

Several guards inside and outside the study retreated immediately, leaving the attic to the king alone.

The study is quieter.

The sound of wind and rain outside was incessant, the turbulent waves of the sea below slapped the reef and cliffs, and the swaying and twisting cable bridge made a faint sound.

"Valar morghulis."

King Balon of the Iron Islands speaks a High Valyrian language that originated on the continent of Essos.

then.

He lowered his head, and under the firelight, his face turned into a slave serving Balon.

Balon Greyjoy was taken from the hidden compartment behind his seat.The old man had lost all spirit, his mouth and nose were full of foam, his hands and feet were twisted, his skin was pale, and he hadn't had time to give birth to plaques.

The slave helped Baron out of the room and onto the violently shaking drawbridge.

In the raging sea and the storm.

Balon fell into the sea below, engulfed in a huge wave at once.

There was no disturbance at all.

At last.

The slave changed his face and went to the banquet to perform his duties.
