Game of Thrones' opening sold the gods

Chapter 28 28. Naval Commander

A week later, King's Landing received a reply, saying that he could provide the Crab Claw Peninsula, but Runestone City and Seagull Town were important ports in the valley, and he could not make the decision.

If Theon is willing to bring a fleet of at least 5,000 men to King's Landing, if not, forget it.

Here Theon looked at the map. He really didn't expect Tyrion to be willing to cede the Crab Claw Peninsula to him. As for Seagull Town, it was purely because Theon was the lion and left some room for bargaining.

The Crab Claw Peninsula belongs to the Crown. Once the Crab Claw Peninsula is occupied, it is equivalent to controlling King's Landing and the outlet of the Trident River. Later, half of the Iron Fleet will be placed on the Trident River to collect protection fees and make a fortune.

To be honest, bringing 5,000 men to King's Landing would be a test of the Iron Islands' mobilization capabilities. Theon currently has about 7,000 soldiers.

Five thousand people are in Riverrun, and five hundred iron guards need to be stationed at Fort Peck to prevent anyone from discovering Apollo in advance. The remaining fifteen hundred people plan to attack Seaside City.

When Theon's father Balon rebelled, he tried to capture Seaside City first, but was defeated by the Earl of Seaside City under the city wall.

The five hundred iron guards must not be moved, and now we can only temporarily abandon Seaside City. Theon called Maester Stan and told him not to send the letter to Tywin yet.

Theon originally planned to attack Robb with Tywin first, but now that Robb's defeat is certain, Frey and the Bolton family will definitely not go all the way to the dark side with Robb.

So his best choice now is to let Yara lead people to garrison Riverrun, while he leads people to King's Landing to fulfill his promise.

Once the Ironborn fleet enters the Trident, the heart of the entire Riverlands will be held by Theon. No matter who wins, they must recognize that the Riverlands belong to the Iron Islands.

Theon then gave Maester Stan three main tasks, which were to re-count the population of the Iron Islands, to re-measure the land, and to count the large and small nobles in all the island chains of the Iron Islands.

"There are not many defenders in the city. We can attack the city alone. We only need strong armor and sharp swords." Xion's words were not modest. He really relied on his armor and the Kraken.

This also means that Bran will become the next Lord Warden of the North, or Roose Bolton will kill Bran and Rickon.

Moreover, there are also natural dangers within it, as well as the most fertile land in the Seven Kingdoms. It is said that the pumpkins in the valley are bigger than those in the river.

There was silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Xion in shock. The Valley was different from the Riverlands. There were natural dangers everywhere. Moreover, the Valley now had an orthodox heir, so there was no way he could take it over no matter what.

Westeros has been in turmoil recently, and Theon has a large number of soldiers from outside the Iron Islands in his hands, just looking for an opportunity to purge the Iron Islands nobles.

Theon wrote a new letter and asked the maester to send it to Tywin three days after he left.

After confirming his identity, the defenders on the city tower immediately marched into the city to greet Xion.

How could this not make Theon salivate?

Then Theon and Yara brought the remaining soldiers to Riverrun. Yara looked at the fortified city in front of her that looked like a natural danger, and couldn't help but ask how Theon had captured it.

There is nothing you can do if you don't admit it. After the victory of the war, neither side will be able to pose a threat to the 7,000-strong Ironborn, and may even be threatened in the opposite direction.

"Princess Myrcella will marry me, and I will also unseat Lysa Tully of the Vale, and then get the appointment letter from the Iron Throne! We only need to clear out the disobedient little nobles in the Vale!"

Xion called a stop to the nobles who were about to fight. After the nobles calmed down, Xion made his decision.

In the hall of Riverrun Castle, all the nobles were sitting one after another. Xion sat at the top with a golden sword, watching the nobles below quarreling.

Their idea is undoubtedly the safest approach. As the heart of Westeros, the Riverlands are adjacent to five of the Seven Kingdoms.

"We not only want the River Land, we also want the Valley. And if we don't want the River Land, we have to find a way to get the Valley. Of course, it would be better to have the River Land."

But Theon has more on his mind. He wants Myrcella and the Vale!

The Valley is a paradise among the Seven Kingdoms, and the Five Fingers Peninsula is full of natural barriers. Coupled with the existence of the Blood Gate, there are natural dangers almost everywhere.

The original plan was to use Sansa to control the North, but now without the guidance of the Three-Eyed Raven, Bran is just a very talented psychic.

Most people believe that we should stick to Riverrun and then use Riverrun as a stronghold to capture the entire Riverlands to restore the peak glory of the ironborn. As for the war between the Lannister family and the Stark family, that is none of their business.

matter.

In the original play, the most fundamental reason why Littlefinger and Lysa were unable to control the valley after their marriage was because Baelish's origin was problematic.

He had no troops or vassals loyal to him, only a lonely letter of appointment.

But Theon is different. He knows how Jon Erin died and has enough troops in his hands, although in the end he will inevitably rule by force.

After hearing Xion's words, the nobles no longer raised any objections. Xion's current prestige is no longer the turn of others to question.
