Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Euron Greyjoy?

What is a governor?

However, after hearing Onion Knight's words, the one-eyed pirate who had remained silent finally spoke.

He had fled overseas when the White Walkers invaded and was unaware of the new changes in the empire, and therefore did not understand the governorship and the new aristocratic system.

“We are indeed a Greyjoy family ship.”

“However, we are not Euron’s men.”

"One-Eyed" Romy Parker said bluntly.

“We are under the command of Lady Asha Greyjoy and come from the Summer Isles.”

"Asha Greyjoy?"

"From the Midsummer Islands?"

The Onion Knight was slightly stunned upon hearing the other party's words.

Chapter 747 A Distant Story

“You have been gone for far too long.”

"Many people even thought you were dead."

The two-masted warship 'Stormstorm' from the Summer Islands is docked at the port of Blackwater Bay in King's Landing, loading and unloading cargo.

Their purpose in coming to King's Landing was twofold: first, to replace Asha Greyjoy in reporting for duty, and second, to escort something special.

This matter cannot be overlooked, and Asha must choose a trustworthy and reliable person to do it.

One-Eyed Romy Parker was nervously directing the soldiers to unload the large crate from the ship's hold. Everyone was very careful, and then it was loaded onto a specially made large carriage.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Imperial Customs Chief, Davos Seaworth, was chatting with First Officer 'Blonde' Jack.

His words represented the thoughts of the vast majority of people. Because the thick fog of the sea of ​​smoke continued to spread, cutting off communication between the East and the West, they could not receive any news about Asha Greyjoy. Everyone thought they were dead, but unexpectedly, after so long, another ship returned.

Davos had already sent word in advance to the throne room that today was His Majesty the Emperor's day of hearing state affairs, and that he would be listening to petitions from nobles across the country in the throne room of the Hall of Five Hundred.

Nobles who have any opinions or suggestions that need to be made public can come to King's Landing, submit an application to attend the court assembly, and then raise them in public. Ordinary people and merchants can also do so.

The Imperial Council usually meets once a week, while the Council Day meetings are held every two weeks, and sometimes once a month.

Romy and Jack's timing today was rather unfortunate. His Majesty the Emperor is currently in the throne room receiving advice, and they need to submit their applications and obtain approval before they can meet with him.

However, not long after, a reply came from the Red Keep, allowing Romy and Jack from the Summer Isles to go and pay homage to His Majesty.

Tyrion Lannister, the Emperor's personal advisor, will personally greet them at the gates of the Red Keep. They should inform Tyrion in advance of anything they wish to say in the throne room, and he will decide what can and cannot be made public, and instruct them on the proper etiquette for meeting the Emperor.

"Farewell, Lord Davos."

"Go."

Davos bid farewell to the captain and first mate of the Stormwind from the Summer Islands, and he was naturally curious and eager to know what had happened at the ends of the earth, thousands of miles away.

Unfortunately, he had official duties to attend to today.

The severed finger hanging around Davos's neck was indeed his talisman, allowing him to quickly find his place whenever his mind wavered or his beliefs began to falter.

Davos continued with his work, while on the other side, soldiers in old-fashioned Imperial Navy armor escorted the enormous wooden crate through the bustling streets of King's Landing, attracting a large crowd of onlookers from the capital.

They hadn't seen such menacing soldiers in a long time, and strange noises were coming from the large crate they were escorting, arousing their curiosity.

Many of the soldiers who went on the expedition to Nath Island had originally set out from King's Landing, and they had not returned to their homeland for many years. Yet, everything they saw was unfamiliar and filled with joy.

The unfamiliarity stems from the dramatic changes that have taken place, while the delight comes from the fact that everything before my eyes is thriving.

However, as they turned the corner, a huge shadow loomed over them. The soldiers escorting the wooden crates, including 'One-Eyed' Romy and Jack, were startled and even drew their swords.

But when they saw it clearly, they realized that it was a giant golden statue standing tall in the city square in the center of King's Landing.

"What a huge dragon!"

This was a ferocious dragon, its claws pressed against the stone platform, its half-open wings almost touching the distant building called 'Imperial Bank'.

It raised its enormous dragon head, its eyes filled with ferocity, as if it were roaring to the sky. On the back of this giant dragon sat a handsome young human who was drawing his sword and pointing it straight at the northern sky.

"This is His Majesty the Emperor and his comrade-in-arms, Bellerion."

Upon seeing this group, they were startled and even drew their swords. A wealthy merchant with elegant clothes, a neatly trimmed mustache, and a portly figure passed by and spoke arrogantly.

"You bumpkin!"

Beside him was a beautiful woman with heavy makeup and a charming smile, her arm linked with his.

The two then casually passed by the pirate captain and went to the Imperial Bank across the square to withdraw money to buy some luxury goods for the beauty beside them.

The buildings there were magnificent and splendid, and people came and went in an endless stream. Whether rich or poor, the port workers loading and unloading cargo and the wealthy merchants walked in side by side.

"Fuck me!"

"I'm going to kill him!"

It wasn't until the two men had walked away that Pirate Captain "One-Eyed" Romy realized what had happened. He was furious; someone had actually pointed a finger at him and insulted him.

However, Jack quickly pulled back his reckless companion.

He hadn't been to King's Landing for many years. The last time he came was when he was a child, accompanying his father. He could clearly sense that the city was different from what it had been twenty years ago.

It's not just that the buildings have been completely renovated and the air no longer smells of the old stench; it's also that people's spirits and energy have changed.

He heard the wealthy-looking man speak of his pride in the city.

That's why he 'reminds' them that what's in front of them is a statue of the imperial emperor.

"Are they proud of this country and this city?"

"Twenty years...can so much change really happen?"

Jack murmured softly, then glanced at the young man's figure on the giant statue before turning his gaze to the distant Red Keep.

He was increasingly looking forward to meeting the legendary man who had single-handedly created this empire, the man whom Lady Asha Greyjoy couldn't help but speak of with awe whenever she mentioned him.

"go!"

...

Four or five years ago, Asha Greyjoy led two thousand Imperial soldiers and a fleet on a long expedition to the distant island of Nath, spending more than half a year to protect the vassal states that were subservient to the Empire.

However, after defeating some pirates and slave hunters on Nas Island, Asha finally faced a difficult choice: whether to retreat to the Summer Islands or press her advantage and catch the Lizard Islands off guard.

In the end, the sea monster's daughter did not back down or show any fear on the high seas, and chose that risky path.

She led her fleet in a surprise attack on the Basilisk Islands.

However, the war ended in defeat. The pirates of the Serpent Islands had received intelligence and laid an ambush in advance. The Imperial fleet suffered heavy losses and then fled back to the Summer Islands.

The islanders of Nas even suffered retaliatory attacks and massacres by pirates.

On the other hand, the pirates did not stop after repelling the Imperial fleet. They were greedy for the fleet's ships, equipment, wealth, and the fame they could gain from defeating it.

Therefore, they joined forces with the Red Flower Valley tribe, which was not far from the Imperial fleet camp.

The old chief of the Redflower Valley tribe is dead, and his son has become the new chief. However, the new chief is treacherous and lustful for Asha Greyjoy. He has therefore made a pact with the pirates to launch an attack on the Lizard Hair, and he only needs a portion of the spoils, including Asha herself.

The throne room was teeming with people whispering amongst themselves, astonished by the story unfolding at the ends of the earth.

"What's next?"

However, upon hearing this, people couldn't help but hold their breath.

Chapter 748 Queen of the Summer Islands

"What's next?"

"In fact, Lady Asha Greyjoy had already discovered the betrayal of the Red Flower Valley tribe, so she contacted the Sweet Lotus Valley tribe in advance."

"Our leader led us in a surprise attack in the dead of night, catching the enemy off guard. We attacked from both sides and wiped out the Red Flower Valley tribe in one fell swoop, before turning our attention to the pirates."

In the throne room of the Red Keep, where most of the Empire's upper class, along with some wealthy merchants and commoners, gathered, stood the Iron Islands bastard wearing a black eyepatch, looking arrogant.

This is certainly something he should be proud of.

It goes without saying how dangerous the war that broke out on Zale Island in the Summer Islands was. Both sides were already bloodthirsty in the dark night, and it was also a typical case of a desperate counterattack and a victory of the few over the many.

"Lady Asha Greyjoy also killed Harlow, who proclaimed himself the 'Pirate King,' in a one-on-one battle on the ship."

Having received advance intelligence that the Imperial fleet was preparing to attack the Lizard Islands, the Bone Brotherhood, based on Fly Island, led the pirates to set up an ambush in advance to counter the Imperial fleet's encirclement and suppression.

The Bone Brotherhood became the leader of many pirates, and Jack, the leader of the Bone Brotherhood, and Harold, the former elder brother of "One-Eyed" Romy, became the leader of all pirates in the entire Basilisk Islands.

He even proclaimed himself the 'Pirate King' after successfully defeating the Imperial Fleet's attack.

The title and tradition of Pirate King did not actually originate from Harlow, but was a self-proclaimed title by the pirates who wiped out the native inhabitants of the Basilisk Islands since the Dawn Era. It referred to the pirate leader who unified the Basilisk Islands and could be respectfully called Pirate King.

Harlow, the self-proclaimed 'Pirate King,' later faced off one-on-one against Asha Greyjoy, the commander of the Imperial Fleet, in the boarding action of the Battle of Lizardhead.

The ferocious Harlow had the upper hand with his tall and strong body, but at the last moment he underestimated his opponent because Asha was a woman, and the daughter of the sea monster seized the opportunity to exploit his weakness.

Asha Greyjoy, sitting on the ground, suddenly rose up and plunged a dagger directly into the chest of Pirate King Harlow.

Then, holding his body, they fell from the deck into the turbulent sea, and were not found by other crew members until dawn the next day, clinging to a piece of wood.

However, Asha Greyjoy's one-on-one duel that killed Pirate King Harlow played a crucial role in this great war.

The death of their leader caused the pirates, who were already poorly trained and disunited, to scatter instantly, each sailing away in their own ships.

The Imperial fleet launched a desperate counterattack at Lizard Head and defeated the pirates, but it also lost the ability to press its advantage. Meanwhile, the Sweet Lotus Valley tribe, which came as reinforcements, had a big appetite and seemed to want to take all the spoils.

Immediately, a conflict broke out between the Imperial army and the Sweet Lotus Valley tribe. However, the tribal soldiers, who were not wearing armor and were only dressed in feathers and grass skirts, naturally had no way to fight against the fully armed Imperial soldiers.

Although the Imperial soldiers were exhausted, the war was one-sided from the start, and they could only fight back with their gold-hearted wood longbows and spears.

Then a stray arrow took away the chief of the Sweet Lotus Valley tribe, and the war came to an end.

All the tribal warriors knelt down in fear and surrendered. Asha Greyjoy thus dramatically seized control of the Sweet Lotus Valley and Red Flower Valley tribes in one fell swoop, conquered Zale Island, the largest island in the Summer Isles, and gained thousands of tribal warriors.

However, Asha Greyjoy's occupation of Zale Island as an invading force naturally alerted the tribes of the other two main islands of the Summer Isles.

For once, they put aside their differences and united against a common enemy, demanding that Asha relinquish her rule over Zhal Island and hand over the freshwater resources of Sweet Lotus Valley and Red Flower Valley.

Zalle Island is the largest island in the Summer Islands, but its population and level of prosperity are not the highest. Zalle Island is more prosperous than Obenlu Island in the middle, but far less prosperous than Varano Island, which is the 'capital' of the Summer Islands.
