Chapter 310 Collecting Dogs

"Yara, the Iron Islands have never had women rule in the past. The choice of king is up to the Ironborn. You should rest assured and be a captain of the Iron Fleet."

Seeing his niece showing his ambition without hesitation, Victarion couldn't help but show a hint of appreciation on his face, but he still admonished her with some regret.

As he said, there has never been a female ruler in the history of the Iron Islands, so the ironborn will certainly not approve of Yara's ambitions.

Even if Yara can really become a leader by relying on the prestige she has gained by following the ancient path in the Iron Fleet over the years, there will inevitably be other nobles in the Iron Islands who are unwilling to surrender.

(Ancient Path: The Drowned God’s followers’ version of plunder)

In this case, it would be better for him, as the younger brother of King Balon and the commander of the Iron Fleet, to inherit the position of Haishi!

(Sea Stone: Legend has it that it is a giant beast from the Sunset Sea in the west of Westeros. Legend has it that sea dragons and other creatures live in the sea)

Hearing that her uncle did not agree with her ambition, Yara silently shifted her gaze from Pike City to Dario on the black tower, and then said quietly:

"Who said I have to be recognized by the Ironborn before I can become king? There is obviously a more direct path in front of me now, isn't it?"

"You...you want to rely on the power of elves to become king?"

Noticing the strange look his niece was looking at Daario, Victarion immediately realized the other party's intention, and his expression gradually turned ugly.

Indeed, if Yara can really get the recognition and support of these elves, then let alone becoming the Queen of the Iron Islands, she can even seek the Iron Throne!

Anyway, with such a powerful force of elves as the backing, those old-fashioned ironmen can only be obedient no matter how dissatisfied they are.

Thinking of this, Victarion looked unwillingly at Pike City, which was completely in flames, and then reprimanded:

"Have you never thought about the disaster your actions will bring to the family? You only need to be recognized by the elves to become the ruler of the Iron Islands. No ironborn will continue to respect the Greyjoy family!"

"Dignity is achieved by fighting, not by illusory bloodline. As long as I can prove that I can lead the Iron Islands to become strong and prosperous, why should they not respect me?"

In response to her uncle's rebuke, Yara looked indifferent.

She doesn't care about the so-called family reputation. If this thing can really be used to exchange for the position of Haishi, then she will sell the glory without hesitation!

Seeing that her uncle no longer contradicted her, Yara turned her attention to Dario on the black tower again, and began to think about ways to gain the approval of the elves.

"Perhaps I can choose a target as my pledge, such as...the gold-rich Westlands and the fertile Reach?"

The ruler of the West, Tywin Lannister, and the ruler of the Riverlands, Olenna Redwin, who are busy with their own affairs at the moment, do not know that their territory has been targeted as a bargaining chip.

————The North, Winterfell

The news of the king's awakening has spread throughout Winterfell, and those golden robes who indulged in brothels and taverns immediately came to the training ground, waiting to be inspected by the king.

The golden-robed commander Janos Slynt wiped the sweat from his forehead in fear, his eyes filled with despair for the future.

After all, the reason why Robert was hit hard by the Wild Hunt elves, and the golden robes who failed to arrive in time for reinforcements can be said to shoulder a great responsibility, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is one of the culprits!

Not long after, Robert's fat yet robust figure appeared on the castle, and Genos immediately shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Congratulations to His Majesty the King for his recovery!"

"Genos, you bastard, didn't anyone tell you that you still have a prostitute's bra hanging on your chest? Hahaha!"

Hearing this, Genos immediately lowered his head to check with a guilty conscience, only to find that except for the gorgeous armor of the golden robe, there was no mess at all on his body.

Robert laughed at the clumsy look of Janos. As a king, he knew very well that scum like Janos had no sense of propriety and integrity, so he deliberately mocked him like this.

After finishing laughing, Robert reached out and touched the war hammer at his waist, and then asked Ed, who was also fully armed next to him:

"Are you sure that the elven armies will arrive at Winterfell today and then have so-called negotiations with me?"

"Well, the elves' army set out with me to rush to Winterfell. Together with the ravens sent from Hearth City, they should be almost there."

Looking at the surrounding Stark soldiers who had stood on guard on the city wall, Ed couldn't help but recall the terrifying army he saw with his own eyes, and he didn't have any confidence in his heart.

Almost every one of those elf warriors who looked noble and gorgeous gave Ed a chilling feeling from the bottom of his heart, not to mention the silver dragon hovering in the sky and the mysterious Rohan.

As a precaution, Robert wrote a letter to Stannis and the 20,000 allied troops he led, who had originally planned to sail to Eastwatch to fight the wildlings, ordering them to divert to the White Blade Bay in White Harbor to directly reinforce Winterfell.

However, Eddard knew that even if Stannis's coalition forces could reach Winterfell, they would still not be able to engage in a large-scale head-on confrontation with the Druchi elves' army.

There is no doubt that the combat effectiveness of such a powerful alien army cannot be measured by common sense!

"Hey, the future of the North..."

Thinking of this, Ed couldn't help but sigh deeply, and then turned his attention to the direwolf flag flying over Winterfell.

After cleaning up his world view at the Great Wall, Ed began to feel that his knowledge was not even as good as that of the old nanny in the castle. After all, the old nanny had knowledge about the Children of the Forest and giants.

And myself...ha~

After lamenting his own powerlessness, Ed turned his attention to the white-haired woman standing next to him who was also wearing armor, and asked worriedly:

"Miss Xili, I wonder if my wife and children have taken refuge in the bunker now, and what about the old, weak, women and children in the city?"

"Don't worry, Duke, Mrs. Caitlin and the children have been sent to the lowest level of the bunker. The women and children have also entered the safe room. Even the dragon flames cannot harm them."

Hearing that this white-haired woman was Ciri, who had saved Ed's life many times, Robert couldn't help but look at her face curiously, and then laughed and sighed:

"It turns out that besides the Targaryen family, there really are other people with white hair. I'm really sorry. If Ed hadn't stopped me at that time, I almost would have made a big mistake."

At the dinner to celebrate the king's awakening last night, the drunken Robert mistakenly saw Ciri who was cooking as a remnant of the Targaryen family, so he grabbed the meat knife and tried to fight Ciri.

If Ed and the newly recovered Robb hadn't tried their best to stop the rampaging boar, Ciri, who was stuck in the corner, might have started teleporting the ancient blood.

Seeing the heroic king who sincerely bowed his head and apologized to himself, Ciri, who had the same straightforward temperament, immediately forgave him, and then said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter. After all, you didn't mean it. What's more, we will have a common enemy in the future, right?"

"Common enemy... Yes, after we finish dealing with the Wild Hunt elves in the Seven Hells, I will hold a grand farewell party for you in King's Landing. Please be sure to come and attend!"

Since Robert already knew that Ciri was a traveler from another world, he naturally respected this gentle but powerful woman.

If it weren't for the huge age difference, he would even want to choose one of his two children as Ciri's husband. It would be even better if he could leave the seeds of ancient blood to the Baratheon family.

Thinking of this, Robert couldn't help but feel a little regretful. After all, as a king, he couldn't really act on his own initiative. He always had to consider the interests of the kingdom and his family.

"coming!"

Just as Robert's mind was filled with random thoughts, Ed next to him keenly noticed the black dragon flag rising on the ice field in the distance, and hurriedly reminded everyone loudly.

Hearing Ed's shouting, everyone hurriedly looked towards the horizon in the distance, and then saw a breathtaking scene:

Empty, empty, empty——

"What's going on? Have reinforcements from King's Landing arrived?"

James, who still didn't know what happened, poked his head out of the city wall out of curiosity, and then his pupils trembled violently subconsciously, and he didn't even notice that his wine bag fell to the ground.

I saw a huge flag that was constantly burning with flames, surrounded by countless dark dragon flags, with hot sparks constantly flying in the cold wind;

Countless elves in silver armor were swarming under the battle flag, and their uniform steps echoed throughout the snowfield like landslides and earth cracks. No creature dared to appear in the sight of this army.

Even the direwolves hiding in the forest were looking at the sky in fear at this moment, their tails curled between their thighs, and they kept letting out bursts of mournful lows.

As magical creatures, although these giant wolves, which are about the size of horses, do not have as powerful magic as dragons or children of the forest, they are still powerful creatures with keen senses and tenacious vitality.

But now, they can feel the death threat from their souls from above their heads!

What frightens them even more is that the monster in the sky seems to have noticed them too!

"Hey, there are actually such big wolves in this world?"

Shadows like ancient giant eagles covered the trembling direwolves in the forest, which were curled up on the ground. With the desperate low roars of the wolves, Rohan's body slowly landed on the ground.

Looking at the direwolves in front of him, which were even larger than the Norscan Ice Wolves, Rohan couldn't help but touch his chin and began to consider whether he needed to add some cavalry troops.

In fact, some areas of Nagaros do have vehicles similar to wolf chariots due to limited conditions, but there really aren't many that can be used to chase away and bully long-range dogs.

Although the dark knights who control war horses have good maneuverability and good looks, they are still far behind the high elves' Elion raiders, so they can only bully the Skaven and Norska.

Although the Harpy can use its flying advantage to carry out surprise attacks and harassment, its own strength is actually not that strong, and it will even be a little embarrassed when facing some human light-armored infantry.

Although the dragon troops can pose a huge threat to the enemy's backline on the battlefield, the demon armies of the Four Gods of Chaos either have no long-range, or are ridiculously strong at long-range.

In this case, if the Ash Dragon Riders who have not received the blessing of the Mist are used as mobile cannon fodder, even Rohan, who is now wealthy, cannot afford such consumption.

In comparison, these direwolves in front of us seem to be good substitutes!

Thinking of this, Luohan turned his attention to the only alpha wolf in the wolf pack who was baring his teeth at him, then he pulled out the sharp blade from his waist and murmured:

"Although I don't know if [Vampire Dominance] is useful for such a species with slight magic, but it would be great if it can succeed..."

After saying that, he exerted force with his legs, and like a giant eagle descending from the sky, he hit the opponent's wolf head with his knees, and immediately knocked the giant wolf upside down.

Ouch——

The direwolf's shrill wail spread throughout the forest, immediately making Eddard's face on the walls of Winterfell gradually turn ugly.

He recognized the sacred figure that landed in the forest. There was no doubt that it was the leader of the Druchi elves, and also the cruel and bloody elf, Rohan.

The direwolf is the emblem of the Stark family, and it is also regarded as a sacred creature pursued by the Stark family. Every year, some superstitious northerners kill chickens and sheep to sacrifice direwolves in harvest years.

.

Now Rohan is killing the direwolves so unscrupulously before he has even arrived at Winterfell. No matter what the reason is, it is an insult to the Stark family!

"You dare to stain your hands with the blood of the direwolf before we have even met. It seems that the person who came here is evil."

Robert obviously noticed this. He silently looked at the neatly dressed elven troops outside the city wall, and then looked at the golden robes who couldn't even stand in formation on the training ground. He couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.

Although thanks to the annual allocation from the treasury, the weapons and equipment of the Golden Robes are indeed superior to most armies in the north, the people who control the weapons are really a bit frustrated.

Robert had no doubt that as long as the winged elf appeared in the sky above Winterfell, these guys would lose half of their combat effectiveness!

Looking at these golden robes that were of little use, and the golden robe commander Genos who was still fuming, Robert raised his eyebrows and complained to Ed:

"Hey - really, I already feel that I don't have much confidence even before the negotiations have officially started. It seems that Jinpao is in urgent need of a new commander...

What do you think of your son Robb? He is the future heir to Winterfell and the North. Do you want him to follow me to King's Landing for a few years to experience?"
