Chapter 264 The Iron Islands are like loose sand

"Dwarf, why would you want to come to my ship? Don't you know the relationship between the Ironborn and the Westerlands? Although that old guy Tywin doesn't like you, it is undeniable that you are the only heir to the Duke of Casterly Rock. He should I will be willing to pay a large ransom for you." Looking at the little devil in front of him, Asha Greyjoy said with a malicious smile.

Tyrion didn't care at all about Asha's malicious name for him, and said with a smile: "Asha Greyjoy, I still remember your pitiful little look at the banquet in Lannisport that day. Thinking of not seeing each other for a few years..."

Asha interrupted Tyrion and said: "That's enough, Tyrion, explain your purpose, otherwise I will really turn you into a meat ticket and let Tywin take the ransom."

Tyrion raised his eyebrows and said: "If you were Asha Greyjoy on the Iron Islands now, I might believe that you would really turn me into a meathead, but you are now the three sea monsters on the Stepstone Islands. I don’t think Lord Linde will allow you to do this, what do you think?”

"Baelor, throw him into the sea." Asha looked at Tyrion with disdain and said.

After hearing this, Belle directly lifted Tyrion's collar and walked out of the cabin.

Tyrion could see that Asha was not joking, and quickly apologized: "Hey! Wait, wait, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

"Baelor, wait!" Asha stopped Baelor, then looked at Tyrion and said, "Tell me! What is your purpose here?"

Tyrion immediately stated his purpose and said: "I just want to follow you to the Iron Islands and see how you conquer the Iron Islands."

"Is this your purpose?" Asha frowned, as if she didn't believe it.

"Of course, this is my purpose." Tyrion nodded, and then as if he thought of something, he pointed to the top of his head and said, "By the way, take a look at the big bell above your head that can disperse the storm."

Asha couldn't help but laugh, and Tyrion laughed too, feeling that he should have passed the test.

However, Asha's smile suddenly faded and she said coldly: "Throw him down."

When Tyrion was still in a daze, he was carried out by Baelor. Just when he was about to ask for mercy, he flew up and fell into the sea. Fortunately, the ship that brought him here had not left yet, and it happened to be that he He was rescued and returned to Lannisport.

In the cabin of the Black Wind, Asha cursed angrily and said: "How do these nobles have their brains? They came here to see a naval battle in such a big way. Who do we think we are, a palace for his entertainment?" Clown?"

Belle, who returned to the cabin, reminded him calmly: "You shouldn't treat him like this. He is friends with Lord Linde, and Lord Linde seems to think highly of him."

"On my ship, I am the biggest. Even if Lord Linde is here, I will give the same order." Asha raised her head, acting like I am the biggest in my territory, but soon she felt a little lack of confidence. Said: "And Mr. Linde is very generous. He will not punish his capable subordinates for such things, not to mention it was not me who threw him off the ship just now."

Belle looked at his friend and colleague with some speechlessness.

A small episode did not affect the fleet's travel plan. After obtaining sufficient supplies from Lannisport, the fleet slowly left Lannisport Bay and headed towards the Iron Islands.

Not long after the Three Sea Monsters Fleet left, some ships also left Lannisport one after another, following behind the Three Sea Monsters Fleet, heading to the Iron Islands together.

The people on these ships were all bold businessmen. They all guessed that the goal of the Three Sea Monster Fleet was the Iron Islands, and they also guessed that there was likely to be a battle for the throne of the Iron Islands. No matter which side was defeated, They will definitely need to find merchants to trade the spoils, so that they can make a lot of money from it. As for whether they will accidentally get involved in the war, these are not among their considerations for the time being.

When the Three Sea Monsters fleet sailed past Fairy Island, the Iron Islands already knew the news here. Balon Greyjoy immediately summoned the lords of each island to hold a meeting in Pike City.

"Where are the people on Kuroshio Island, Harlaw Island and Great Wyk Island? Are they all dead?" Balon Greyjoy, who was sitting on the sea stone seat, looked at the hall with a gloomy look. The faces of the lords and captains were very ugly.

"I think they won't come. They have made it clear that they will not intervene in the internal disputes of the Greyjoy family." The patriarch of the Sandry family on Salt Cliff Island stood up and said.

"Disputes within the family? Haha! What a good excuse, what a good excuse!" King Balon couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but there was no laughter in his laughter, only anger.

"I'll take someone to Great Wyk Island." Victarion Greyjoy said solemnly.

Balon glared at his brother and shouted: "Shut up! Don't you know what time it is now? You took away the Iron Fleet, what will happen to Pyke Island? Are you going to let that girl Asha land on Pyke Island smoothly? ?”

The Gubler family of Warhammer Point on Old Wake Island, Geold Gubler, had a good relationship with Victarion. When he saw Balon scolding his younger brother, he stepped forward and deliberately changed the subject, saying: "I am The people at Lannisport calculated the number of warships brought by Asha and Baelor this time. They found 430 longships, 150 armed sailing ships, 70 two-masted warships, and two three-masted warships. Battleship."

Hearing Earl God's words, the hall instantly became quiet. There are now only more than a hundred ships in the Iron Fleet, and most of them are old ships that were repaired after being damaged in the war. There are only less than forty new ships. Even if all the ships of other island lords are added together, the number of ships is just over 300, which is completely incomparable.

And more importantly, because the losses in that battle were so tragic, and Euron robbed a group of people, even after so many years, the Ironborn have not recovered, and there are not many qualified sailors, and Ah Sha's sailors are all elite warriors who have followed her across the Summer Sea over the years. The gap in strength between the two is really too big.

At this time, Erin Oakwood, the patriarch of the Oakwood family on Oakmont Island, suddenly said: "Don't forget, there is an artifact of the Storm God on Asha's ship. My people said that that artifact can be controlled storm."

In the past, Aelin Oakwood feared and respected Euron Greyjoy. In this mood, he was also Euron's supporter. When Euron fled back to the Iron Islands, he also came from him. Only with human support could they plunder the Iron Islands.

However, as Euron was defeated and chased like prey by Asha, his feelings of awe towards Euron transferred to Asha, who returned this time to vie for the title of King of the Iron Islands. Naturally, he was very supportive, but he deliberately hid it and wanted to be Asha's internal agent.

After hearing Erin Oakwood's words, everyone in the hall began to discuss. Everyone knew how important it would be to control the storm at sea. Originally, Asha's warriors and ships had far surpassed Iron The fleet now also has an artifact that can control the storm. No one present can see that they have a chance to win this battle.

"The Storm God is the mortal enemy of the Drowned God. We will never allow his followers to set foot on our land!" At this time, Aeron the Damphair suddenly stood up and shouted loudly at everyone: "This is not just a This is a war for the Lord of the Iron Islands, and it is also a war between the Drowned God and the Storm God. We..."

Before Aeron the Damphair could finish speaking, someone directly interrupted him and said, "The Storm God can give Asha artifacts to control the storm and help her fight. So Aeron, tell me what help the Drowned God can provide us. Can you send some sea monsters to help us?"

The wet-haired man glared at the person who spoke. The person who said these words was the lord of King's Port, Shavin Botelli. He was not a potential ally of Asha. The reason why he said these words was completely offensive. Aeron came with wet hair.

Because when Robert burned down King's Harbor, he wanted to rebuild it. As a result, all his people were transferred away by Aeron the Damphair in the name of the Drowned God to repair Pyke City. As a result, his King's Harbor is not there yet. After the restoration was completed, most places were still in ruins, and he was ridiculed as the Lord of Ruins.

Therefore, he hates Aeron Damphair very much, and also hates the Greyjoy family. In his opinion, there is no need for them to participate in the internal fighting of the Greyjoy family, and they can just be bystanders.

In fact, the vast majority of people present had similar thoughts. In their opinion, no matter who wins the internal fight within the Greyjoy family, the final result will still be that one Greyjoy becomes the Lord of the Iron Islands. Nothing will change. If they If they get involved, no matter what the result is, they will be the ones who suffer the loss.

"Can't you hear the sound of the waves? It's the roar of the Drowned God, it's..." Aeron Damphair scolded.

"It was just the sound of the waves, nothing else." Seeing Aeron the Damphair's furious look, Shavon Botley felt even happier in his heart and said, "And what qualifications do you have to represent the Drowned God!"

The hall fell silent for an instant, and everyone looked at Shavin Botelli in surprise, wondering why he said that, because Aeron the Damphair was a recognized priest of the Drowned God.

"What did you say?" The look in the eyes of the wet-haired Aeron became crazy. He rushed to Shavin Botelli and pressed his forehead and said: "You dare to question me..."

"I have never questioned your belief in the Drowned God," Shavon Botley interrupted Aeron the Damphair for the third time, and pushed back without fear, "But I know there are people better than you. Dagon Harlaw is even more qualified to represent the Drowned God's will. Don't forget, he has a pet of the Drowned God beside him, which was given to him by the Drowned God. He is truly the one blessed by the Drowned God. And you? Just a self-righteous lunatic."

"No! I am the priest of the Drowned God, and I am the favored one of the Drowned God!" Aeron the Damphair completely lost his mind, stretched out his hand and strangled Shavin Botelli's neck, trying to kill Shavin. ·Portelli was strangled to death.

Naturally, the people around him would not watch Aeron Damp-Hair do this, and immediately stepped forward to pull him away, but no matter how hard they pulled, it had no effect. In the end, Balon Greyjoy knocked him unconscious directly. , broke off his fingers, and rescued Shavin Botelli from his hands. However, at this time, Shavin Botelli had already begun to roll his eyes, and was hit hard on the chest several times before he relaxed. Come on.

Now this meeting has become a farce. Although Aeron Damphair has converted to the Drowned God, he is still a member of the Greyjoy family. Now the Greyjoy family is planning to kill him in full public view. Killing a lord is no longer as simple as a quarrel.

The Greyjoy family must give an explanation to the lords present, otherwise, if Aeron Greyjoy can kill Shavon Botley this time, then anyone present may be killed by him next time.

It's just that it's impossible for Balon to punish his brother, not only because Aeron the Damphair is a priest of the Drowned God, but more importantly, Shavin Botley was clearly provoking Aeron just now, which made him feel like he was targeting Gray. The Joey family's trap, if Aeron is punished at this time, it will only make people think that King Balon is weak.

Thinking of this, Baron did not give everyone a chance to continue thinking and discussing, and said in a deep voice, "You all go back, prepare the ships, and gather in the Iron Fleet tomorrow. We will have a decisive battle with Asha at sea."

Everyone was stunned when they heard Balon's decision. They were summoned to attend the meeting, but they hadn't discussed a result yet. They didn't even say how to gather and distribute the battle. They just asked them to row the boat over. This was completely Confused them.

"What? Do you have any objections?" Baron looked at everyone present unceremoniously.

Without saying anything more, everyone said they would summon their warships immediately, and then left the hall one after another.

After the lords left, Victarion couldn't wait to say: "They will not follow us to fight honestly. Joining them will only cause trouble for our iron fleet."

"I know." Baron shook his head and said with an extremely tired look, "Do you think we have a chance of winning?"

Victarion looked at Balon and suddenly felt that Balon seemed much older at this moment, like an ordinary old man, not like the strong man on the sea who could face the storm in his impression.

Victarion gathered his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "Although Asha's fleet is large, we are not without opportunities. We only need to directly sink Asha's flagship. Those ships have no command and are in chaos. We'll be able to reverse the occupation."

Balon was silent for a moment and then asked: "Do all Asha's fleets obey Asha's orders?"

Victarion was stunned and quickly realized why Balon would ask this. Obviously, although Asha is the commander-in-chief of her own fleet, these fleets do not belong to Asha. She is just a commander and is in control of the real fleet. The first person is Lind Terra, who is regarded as the incarnation of the Storm God. He is the core of the fleet. Even if Asha's flagship is sunk, a new commander will take over and take over Asha's command of the fleet. There will be no confusion as Victarion hoped.

Balon obviously already had the answer in his mind. He stood up from the throne with an astonishing look in his eyes and said, "I also want to see how strong the Sea Banshee is after chasing Euron around!"
