Game of Thrones: From Lord Elden to Young Wolf
Chapter 68: Attack and Defense Change Form
Victarion Greyjoy's face was full of despair. He saw his army being slaughtered almost one-sidedly.
Under his chaotic command, many soldiers of the Iron Islands were so tired that they couldn't even pick up their weapons, let alone fight the enemy.
For every soldier from the North who fell, more than a dozen people from the Iron Islands fell.
When people around them fell one after another and the enemy became more and more numerous, morale would naturally collapse.
They put down their weapons and began to flee.
Seeing that things were irreversible, Victarion Greyjoy could only choose to abandon those soldiers who were still fighting and prepare to board the ship to escape.
"There are about sixty ships left. With the ships, the Iron Islands will not be finished." He thought so.
Unfortunately, things will always develop in the worst direction.
He heard a sound similar to thunder again. He looked in the direction of the Northern army and then engraved that picture in his heart forever.
The dragon's head exuded the breath of a biting winter, and the icy mist rushed towards him. Wherever he went, the ice was biting and the river surface was frozen.
"Damn it, what the hell is that?!"
——
"A great achievement, a great achievement, Your Majesty! In the Battle of the Heat Wave, our army beheaded more than 4,000 people, accepted more than 5,000 surrenders, captured 53 ships, and countless weapons and armor!"
"It's a pity that the leader Greyjoy escaped."
In the Barrow Hall, Thoros, one of the few literate red monks, excitedly reported the results of this battle to Robb.
He felt that he had not followed the wrong person. His Majesty Robb was definitely the one chosen by the Lord of Light!
Robb also smiled: "With ships and these captives, my North can finally develop a naval force."
If you want to attack the Iron Islands, forces on the sea are necessary.
But if you want to build your own ships, you have to wait until the end of time, which is far less convenient than the enemy coming to deliver them.
Lady Barbara, a noblewoman of Barrow Hall, showed a flattering smile on her face at this time: "If your majesty wants anything, we at Barrow Hall will fully support you."
Lady Barbara understood that if Robb, who drove away Tywin, was already a king she could not resist, then Robb, who repelled the Iron Islands again, was a king she had to serve actively.
Since leaving Winterfell, Robb has won battle after battle, almost to the point of being unstoppable.
In the hearts of the martial northerners, Robb may be the most outstanding Stark in the past thousand years.
Originally, the Stark family had a deep foundation in the North, and at this time they probably surrendered to Robb wholeheartedly.
Robb glanced at Lady Barbara: "Since the people of the Iron Islands were repelled by me, they are so exhausted that they are definitely unable to plunder again. You and the people of the Streamland will do one thing for me, build a lumberyard in the Wolf Forest, I need wood."
"Yes, your majesty." Lady Barbara saluted respectfully.
Beep, beep--
While Robb was thinking about how to arrange the navy's generals and soldiers, a hurried knock on the door sounded.
"Come in."
Little Jon and Daisy Mormont walked in, their faces full of uncontrollable joy.
Robb smiled and asked, "What good news makes you so happy?"
Little Jon said loudly, "Two war reports, Your Majesty. I have about the Westerlands. My father and the other two earls, led by Sir Blackfish, have already captured Branded City and Crag City, and then used them as bases to rob the coast.
We have seized three gold mines, and Lady Maggie has captured thousands of livestock, which are now being transported to Riverrun!"
The defense of the Westerlands is now very lax, and the main force has basically been taken away by Tywin, which is very similar to the situation in the riverlands before.
So Sir Blackfish's actions were very smooth, and the Westerlands were originally relatively rich, so the supplies looted far exceeded everyone's expectations.
Robb was quite satisfied with the performance of Blackfish and his men: "Write a letter back to Blackfish and your father, telling them that we have almost taken the coast near the two castles, and we can train our troops there."
Because the troops of the North bypassed the heavily guarded Golden Tooth and marched straight in, the connection between them and Riverrun was not smooth.
The castle captured in this way is also an enclave.
Robb wanted more territory, whether it was to be granted to his subordinates or kept for himself, he could not take the enclave out.
So the Golden Tooth must be captured.
When Robb finished his work in the north, the first thing he had to do when he returned to Riverrun was this.
It was also time to expand the territory under his control.
After Little Jon finished his report, Robb looked at Daisy Mormont again: "What about you, what good news do you have?"
Daisy showed a happy expression on her face: "Your Majesty, we caught the traitor!"
When exchanging hostages before, Robb used the Kingslayer Jaime to rescue his sister Sansa from King's Landing.
Earl Lakewood escorted her to White Harbor.
The Manderly family of White Harbor took over and sent soldiers to escort Sansa back to Winterfell.
At this time, a coincidence happened.
In order to prove himself to his father and the people of the Iron Islands, Theon Greyjoy actually took a few people to attack Winterfell.
He happened to run into the soldiers of the Manderly family.
Together with the soldiers left behind in Winterfell and the nearby Seven City, Theon Greyjoy's team was directly defeated and Theon was captured.
Because Theon's identity was quite special, he was a brother who had played with Robb since childhood, so they did not kill Theon directly, but came to ask Robb how to deal with it.
Everyone hates traitors.
They hate traitors even more than their enemies.
And Robb gave Theon a chance, but it was he who chose to go against the North.
In this case, Robb did not plan to keep Theon alive.
Should he just give Theon a quick death, or hand him over to the little skinner and let him be tortured before dying?
Robb thought about it and decided to let Theon play a little bit of his remaining heat, and then kill him directly after he has done something.
It can be regarded as a little affection for him and him who have lived together since childhood.
"Write to Winterfell and ask them to lock Theon in a place where he can be rescued easily, but keep him under strict guard in secret. As long as someone comes to rescue him, they will catch the rescuer. As for Theon, don't worry about his life or death."
Robb knew that Asha of the Iron Islands looked down on his brother on the surface, but valued family affection very much.
She would definitely come to rescue Theon.
This woman is still very useful to him. She is a helper in his counterattack on the Iron Islands, so she can be used.
When she knew her father was killed by her own brother, no matter how unwilling she was, she could only take revenge on her.
By then, her navy could be trained.
Now she was thinking about counterattack and invasion...
Robb was quite emotional. After coming out of Winterfell, he had fought all these battles in the riverlands and the North. The offensive and defensive situation was finally going to change!
