Game of Thrones: From King of Elden to Teen Wolf Lord

Chapter 86
Crag City, the base of the coast.

Robb's fleet will set sail today. It is planned to go to Pike City first and then attack Fairy Island.

There are a total of fifty longships parked in Cliff City, with a maximum capacity of 4 or 1 people. Unfortunately, Robb cannot afford such a large navy and can only carry [-] people.

In addition, these soldiers are not full-time marines.

After all, they are just infantry who have been trained at sea. At critical moments, they have to use spears and bows to kill the enemy.

But it's enough.

Robb put on all his armor and set foot on the largest longship with Gray Wind, who was a little uncomfortable and frightened.

Longships are highly maneuverable rowing vessels built for raiding and are a favorite among the ironborn.

So the ships that Robb captured by defeating the Ironborn were all longships.

The longship that Robb was on was originally called the 'Vengeful Ironborn'. It was one of the flagship longships of the Iron Islands. It was larger than the average longship and only slightly smaller than the 'Invincible Ironborn' that escaped. .

When crowded, the ship could carry more than 400 people.

On both sides of the ship, more than 70 ironmen who had been captured by Robb served as oarsmen. They were experienced and of low status, and had no sense of belonging to the Iron Islands.

There were even many people who were not Ironborn at all before, but were just plundered slaves, working for whomever they worked for.

Ser Wendell Manderly came to Robb and said, "Your Majesty, we are ready to go at any time."

Robb nodded: "Let's go."

The moment they set sail, there were shouts and curses from the surrounding longships.

"Don't panic, the boat will rock. Can't you just follow the rocking rhythm and twist your big butts by yourself?"

"Lower your head! Be careful with this moving sail! It can knock you into a fool!"

"Is it strange that the boat tilts a little? You imbeciles can't capsize!"

Sir Wendell Mandler looked a little embarrassed on the sidelines. After a month of training, it was already very difficult for him to do this.

White Harbor is a trading city, and the ships that members of the Mandalay family are familiar with are flat-bottomed boats that transport goods, which are very different from longships that specialize in plundering.

All they can teach are some navigation skills to ensure that the selected soldiers will not suffer from seasickness and vomiting.

Seeing this scene, Robb didn't criticize too much: "Relax, the ironborn are not born to be good at sailing. As long as they practice more and more, they can at least reach an intermediate level."

Sir Wendel lowered his head: "Your Majesty is so magnanimous, we are really ashamed."

"Hoohoo!"

"Hoohoo!"

The sailors at the oars were shouting and sliding the oars, and the ship began to move forward slowly and sailed out of the base of Cliff City.

During this expedition, Robb only brought the red-robed monk Thoros, five wolf cavalry centurions and the best members of the Wendel family. The rest of the ministers stayed in Riverrun to handle government affairs.

After all, this is just a simple operation to attack the Fairy City on the Fairy Islands.

Wendell Mandler on the side asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to name this longship?"

These ships were captured by Robb and have been assigned to the North. It is a bit unpleasant to always bear the name of Ironborn.

And this longship is the flagship, Robb's car, so the name is even more important.

Robb thought about it for a while, and then thought for a while: "Then call it the Winter. Not only the land, but also the sea must understand that winter has arrived.

As for the other ships, let them use their original names. After I appoint the captains, I will let the captains name their own ships. "

Wendel quickly flattered: "Your Majesty is wise! Ever since 'Shipburner' Brandon burned his father 'Shipbuilder' Brandon's fleet, we have not had a navy in the north for hundreds of years. Your Majesty only spent In just a few months, the Northern Fleet reappeared, which is simply a miracle!"

If you want to train a navy, normal shipbuilding and training are impossible to complete within a year and a half. This is why Robb was able to build a navy so quickly.

Or because it’s much faster to rob than to build one yourself.

Robb glanced at Wendel and thought that since the Mandalay family didn't get any key benefits from the last meat sharing, their attitude has taken a 180-degree turn, which is a bit too licky.

But, this feeling is not bad.

"Stop flattering us and let the team set off quickly."

Wendell knew in his heart that Robb meant to increase his strength, so he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has an order, the Winter is moving at full speed!"

"Winter, move forward at full speed!"

-

Highgarden.Olenna, Queen of Thorns, is discussing the Ironborn invasion with her family.

Interestingly, the real Duke of Highgarden, the inflatable fish Mace Tyrell, son of the Queen of Thorns, did not appear at this meeting.

The entire Westeros continent knows that Mace, the inflatable fish, is a greedy person with no talent at all.

He knew nothing about military affairs or politics. Olenna, the Queen of Thorns, was the real talker in Highgarden.

Little Rose Margaery and her brothers, the Knight of Flowers and the brave Garland, gathered around her grandma, chatting while eating, and arranging things in the Reach while talking and laughing.

Little Rose looked around: "Isn't brother coming?"

She was talking about another brother, Willas Tyrell, the heir to House Tyrell.

The Queen of Thorns touched the little rose lovingly and sighed: "He is just like your father, he is of no use if he comes. He has a good character and is warm-hearted, but the Ironborn are coming, what use are these qualities of his? Highgarden This generation is really…”

The Queen of Thorns looked at the three grandchildren in front of her and felt helpless.

The real duke and heir have little ability, and the only one with political skills, Little Rose, still has to get married, so it's not that High Court doesn't want to fight for hegemony, but it really doesn't have the confidence.

Even if he establishes himself as the king of the river bend, how long can he hold on under the other kings?

Look at Robb in the North. In less than a year, he won battles and captured several times more supplies than his son won in 30 years plus one!
The gap between people is really huge.

Therefore, the best way out for this generation in the Reach is to find a suitable one among these kings to become their queen.

At the beginning, the Queen of Thorns chose Renly, who had the best relationship with them. The two of them hit it off immediately, and her grandson still had a true relationship with Renly, which was really safe.

Who would have thought that after Renly died, his grandson, the Knight of Flowers, and the second oldest son of the Deer family would have a sworn hatred, and they could only choose between Joffrey and Robb.

In the end, the Queen of Thorns saw that the current situation was leaning towards the north. Caitlin talked about some of Emperor Joe's routine operations and easily convinced her.

The Queen of Thorns drank a glass of Arbor Island wine: "The Ironborn are coming, and the navy of the Shield Islands is no match for them. They have now looted the Shield Islands, and are expected to invade the Reach along the Mander River soon. "

The Knight of Flowers was eager to try: "They dare not attack Highgarden. If they come, I will kill a few ironmen to try my hand."

The brave Garland did not speak, he was an action man.

"Of course they won't attack Highgarden, there are only so many of them!" Queen of Thorns glanced at the Knight of Flowers, "They will plunder the castles and villages along the Mander River, and they will also plunder the vicinity of Highgarden. We must protect ours. Vassal."

Little Rose asked: "Earl Redwin of Qingting Island has already set off. If they dare to come to the Mander River, let Earl Redwin's fleet block the entrance to the sea and catch them all!"

The Queen of Thorns nodded: "I got news that the King of the North has also set out to show off his power in Pike City with his fleet. That boy is very ambitious. He not only wants to repel Euron Greyjoy, but also wants to occupy it. Iron Islands.”

The Knight of Flowers smiled and said: "He wants our food. With those lunatics from the Iron Islands here, how can we transport the food there!"

What the Queen of Thorns said now is the key point: "That Stark is still developing. It is better to send cotton in the summer than to send charcoal in the winter. Since we have decided to choose him, when the Ironborn run away, let the Redwin fleet Help him take the Iron Islands."

In the Rose family's idea, sending the Redwyne fleet to help attack the Iron Islands was a gesture of goodwill to Robb, who was still developing.

If politics is said to be complicated, it must be complicated; if it is said to be simple, it is also very simple.

Many times, throwing a handful of golden dragons at the opponent's face is more effective than any conspiracy.

The Queen of Thorns also understands this truth. In the early stages of Robb's development, she gave him money, food, and sent troops to help. How could the other party refuse her kindness?
When Robb grows stronger, his family will be rewarded.

This is an unspoken rule. If Robb does not repay the Rose family, who else will be willing to help the Stark family in the future?

The Queen of Thorns believes that Robb is not the kind of person who crosses rivers and burns bridges. This is also because Robb has long rewarded him generously in Riverrun: "I heard that he is in the North..."

Little Rose held the wine glass and listened to her grandma talking about Robb's achievements and enfeoffment policy, and she also felt a little curious about her future husband.

The girl didn't care who her husband was, as long as he was a king.

To become a queen is the political appeal of the entire Rose family, and it is also her inner wish.

The Knight of Flowers also told a little gossip: "I heard that this young man is not only handsome, but also very romantic. When he was in the Bracken family in Stonehedge City... and the daughter of Westeros in Cliff City..."

The Queen of Thorns smiled: "It's normal for men to be romantic. That King Robert is going to fuck up the whole city of King's Landing."

Hearing this, Little Rose breathed a sigh of relief.

At least the King of the North likes women and can touch him, so that he can give birth to a son as soon as possible.

Then she glanced at her brother, the Knight of Flowers, and felt helpless in her heart.

Just as the Rose family was preparing to end the small banquet, an attendant walked quickly outside, panting heavily and kneeling on the ground.

His urgent voice broke in through the screen window: "Madam, sir! Lord Redwin's fleet has been surrounded and annihilated by the Iron Islands!"
