Chapter 0557: Surrender
() The military tent in the eyes of the crow, the golden sea monster banner hunting.
Ge Oude walked straight into the Chinese military tent and was stopped by the guards. G'Oude's face was very ugly: "Soldier, Madame Jeanne has agreed to peace talks, and I have come to report to the king." ”
"The king has just drunk the poppy milk, please wait a moment, the Earl. ”
"Good!" said Count Göod, suddenly drawing the short axe from his waist and slashing it at the soldier's head.
The hatchet was embedded in the guard's head, and the helmet was cut open and into the head, and blood poured out of the helmet.
The soldier screamed and fell.
The other soldiers were so shocked that before they could draw their swords, the four knights of Gaud had already drawn their swords, and with a poof, they stabbed into the soldier's body.
G. Oude strode into the tent, lifted the splendid splendor on the collapsed splendour, and the man sleeping on the couch sat up in a panic, with an eye patch on his face, like a crow's eye, but not really a crow's eye.
"Where's the king?" said Ge Ou Dezheng, drawing his long sword, the tip of which pressed against the double's throat.
"The king left last night. The stand-in's voice was also like a crow's eye.
Gaud was furious in his heart, and with a force in his hand, the long sword stabbed into the throat of the stand-in. The sword was drawn, and blood splattered on the brocade.
"Carry him out!" shouted Göröd.
"Yes, sir!"
The four knights moved together and lifted the body twitch of the stand-in.
"Ge Lan, blow the horn. The Count commanded his third son.
"Yes, Father. ”
Glenn glanced at Aemond, who had a horn around his waist and driftwood on his back, and Aemond blew the horn.
Woooooooooooo
Woooooooooooo
Woooooooooooo
This is a military order for an emergency assembly.
In the camp, pony cavalry, infantry gathered.
There are three major families on the island of Great Wick, the lord is Count Göudgübler, and the rest of the nobles are vassals of his family, among which the Espar family and the Merlin family are the strongest, and both have iron ore.
The remaining 5,000 soldiers who were cannon fodder, except for Croweye's personal guard legion, were all from Grand Wick Island.
The soldiers who remained, first, were ready to live and die with Croweye, and secondly, after the war began, the legion that Croweye had withdrawn first last night ambushed on the way to carry out a surprise rescue, killing one of the Clegane troops by surprise, and then everyone withdrew together.
Lanniport is a big city and a big port, but in fact, there are many small ports in the west and small fishing villages that can go out to sea and leave, as long as they go to the sea, there are soldiers and weapons, and the nobles can easily find large and small ships in the fishing villages to leave.
Crow's eye has the ability to fool people, he can start from scratch after being banished, and pull up the largest pirate army, in addition to personal strength, the level of strategy and flickering is also the key.
Except for Braavos, which has a terrifying existence like the Isle of the Gods, the number of Raven's Eye warships is stronger than that of the other eight free trade city-states, and the overall strength is even more powerful than many island countries in the sea.
Raven's Eye could keep five thousand soldiers until the end, promising them the benefits and perfect escape plans that were indispensable.
Giving hope to those who have no hope is one of the basic qualities of Raven's Eye.
However, with the help of Lady Janine, Gaud has come to see the great deception of Croweye's military plan, not only of the Cleganes, but of the nobles of Great Wick.
Between one's own life and the life of others, Crow's Eye chooses her own life, which is the right choice for most people. Of course, the hidden dangers are also obvious. Once the betrayed come to their senses, once they have not been killed, losing their loyalty is the standard answer.
Crow-Eye himself had left last night, leaving behind only a stand-in for feigning illness, a secret that Count Göud had kept in the dark.
From ancient times to the present, many people are brave and loyal warriors who have been bought by the boss and counted the money for the boss, and Ge Oude is also such a warrior.
The soldiers were neatly arranged in formation.
After the baptism of the Klegane cavalry, the iron breeds and pirates who did not like arrays grew up quickly, and they learned to line up in a very short time and in a neat array, which is very rare.
War is the best way for men to grow into men, and it is also the fastest way for men to become true warriors.
Five thousand iron-seeded and pirates determined to fight to the death lined up, and then they saw Count Gaud and his family guards coming out of the tent of the Chinese army, their swords unsheathed, and their swords still stained with blood, and the king's crow's eyes were carried by them, covered in blood.
The soldiers were all shocked!
"Brothers," said Ge Oude, "the king has abandoned us, and it is not the king who commands us in the Chinese military tent, but his substitute, one of his dead soldiers. ”
The body of the stand-in was thrown to the ground, and the generals and centurions in the front saw their king, familiar with the blindfold, familiar hair and attire, familiar eyebrows, but the man was not the king himself.
"We have all been betrayed by the king, he is no longer here, and on the way we retreated, the king did not arrange an ambush to meet us. To deal with the trap pit pursued by the cavalry, no one dug it in advance. "The king has abandoned us and let us stay and fight, in fact, he wants us to die." He coveted the iron ore of Grand Wick Island. This is a trick to kill people with a knife, and when the Gübers, Merlins, and Paz families on the island of Big Wick are killed by the Cleganes, the iron ore will naturally be crow's eye. ”
The 5,000 soldiers all looked at each other, and at the same time anger rose in their hearts. Most of the Crow-Eyed guards had already been killed by Gyode, and those who had not been killed chose to surrender.
"Brothers, I have surrendered to the Magic Mountain and Lady Janine. "If any of you have a different opinion, stand up. ”
No one came forward, and everyone was shocked. They still need time to digest it. If you betray Croweye, you will die a miserable death, there is no doubt about it.
The iron breeds are afraid of raven's eyes.
King Baron is crazy, and Archpriest Iren is even crazier, but the two of them are not as crazy as Croweye alone. This is a rumor that circulates in the Iron Islands, and even children know it.
The leaders of the Merlin and Spa families were silent. They are the two most powerful families in the Legion. The current situation is very serious, and the slightest carelessness will lead to the destruction of the army. Openly betray Crow-Eye to guard against his bloody revenge in the future, but if they don't surrender to Magic Mountain and Jenny now, they will be dead.
The nobles could understand G'Ord's position and situation, but all the news that G-Od got was only known because he had gone to the peace talks, and it was obvious that it was the Kleganes who told him the truth of the matter.
It's hard to believe!
How could the Cleganes know more about the deployment and plans of the Crow's Eye than they did?
The iron breeders also learned the style of acting of the crow-eyed who returned after a long absence, and he became the queen, whether it was politics, military, trade, wealth distribution, rewards and punishments, he alone had the final say. In the military operation of Raven's Eye, there was more time to issue orders, and there was less time for everyone to sit down and discuss plans.
Raven-Eye likes to be assertive and will not explain the reasons to his vassals.
Subordinates and soldiers are accustomed to 'do as they are told'.
Göod's eyes swept the field, his clan legion was the strongest here, and at the same time, his foreign support also included the Cregan cavalry, infantry, and archers.
Ge Oude decided to name him: "Leader Spa, are you willing to follow me and submit to Lord Magic Mountain?"
Rodrixpar had always been a vassal of Geraud, the closest of the two families, a serious old man with watery eyes.
His son, Sta Spa Spa, stood beside him, tall and burly, with a deep scar on his face.
Rodric contributed thirty longships to this expedition, and his flagship, the Sorrow, had been burned to ashes by the fire of the Magic Mountain.
"Lord Gourder, the Spa family will always follow your lord, from the time of the ancient road to the present, from now to the future. The old man spoke.
The two great families are tied together, and even if the rest of the families are united, they are no match for the two families.
Whether it's here or back on the island, the two families join forces, and any family will be afraid of it.
Goud has the support of his old friends. He cast a look of appreciation and gratitude at Rodric, and although it was only a glance, Rodric knew it.
In fact, those who do not surrender now, and those who are unwilling to follow Ge Oude and surrender to the Magic Mountain and Janie, are all dead.
The invincible Raven-Eye King, whom they believed in, had abandoned them.
Gyord's gaze looked at the Merlin family.
The coat of arms of the Merlin family is painted in white primer with two intertwined green drains. This drain pipe has a deep meaning and is related to the mine. Underground iron ore mining sometimes excavates groundwater and encounters heavy rainfall, which affects the lives of miners and also affects the production of iron ore. The Merlin family worked to solve the problem of underground drainage, and they achieved success, so the family coat of arms reflects this achievement of the Merlin family.
Count Medred Merlin, a fierce man who did not wear leather or armor, he was known as "Merlin".
His son, Manfrily Merlin, had married a rock wife and was the captain of the Iron Fleet Kite. Not here at the moment, but following Victalion on the attack on the rich Riverlands.
The Merlin family is a bit more complicated, with the main bloodline allegiance to the Gerudgoblers, but the smaller branch families are not, and are directly loyal to Balon Greyjoy of Pike Island. After Baron's death, the group pledged direct allegiance to Asha Greyjoy.
After Asha escaped, they chose to be loyal to Croweye. Raveneye was also Greyjoy, and although banished, he took the position of Sea Stone in the Hall of the Grey Sea King, becoming the rightful king of the Iron Islands.
These branches are headed by Sandermelin.
Sandmelin attended the king election on Old Wake Island. At the convention, he made it clear that he was a supporter of Asha Greyjoy.
Gaud's gaze swept back and forth between Medred and Sander, and he simply called them together: "Lord Count Medred, Sir Sander, are you willing to follow me and submit to Lord Magic Mountain." ”
Count Medred said, "Lord Count Gourder, the Medred family will always be your vassals. ”
"Thank you, Lord Earl, for believing in me. G. Oude said, looking at Sander, "What about you, my lord, I need your statement." ”
"Lord Gaud, our family is a branch of the Merlin family, and has never submitted to any nobles other than the King of the Iron Islands. If we have to surrender to the Magic Mountain in order to survive, we will also surrender directly to the Magic Mountain. ”
"Madame Jane said that whoever wants to surrender for his life must first surrender to me. ”
"What if we don't?"
"Then you will have to leave our legions, and the Cleganes will not accept your surrender. ”
Sir Sander was silent.
He looked back at the warriors behind him, and he saw the warriors' eyes eager to live. Sander sighed in his heart, his family, starting from his generation, would be subject to the Gubl family, and they would prefer to submit directly to the Magic Mountain or the new King of the Iron Islands.
"Lord Earl Gourder, the Sander family is willing to submit to your lordship. ”
"Lord Sander, I need you to get down on your knees and swear allegiance to me. Gaud saw Sander's reluctance. It doesn't matter, after a long time, the family will naturally surrender sincerely. Until then, an oath is required to ensure Sander's loyalty.
In order to ensure Greod's loyalty, Lady Jeanne also made Gerod kneel and take an oath, and the lady named Dorty made it clear that she was a blood witch, she pierced Count Geraud's finger with a silver knife, took Count Geraud's blood and applied dark magic, if Count Geraud's loyalty changed, the blood witch would kill Geraud through the blood spell and the oath of Geraud himself.
Although Gaud was skeptical of the Blood Witch's abilities, he knew it best not to break his oath! Some wizards were terrifying, and the wizards themselves were vulnerable, but their magic was terrifying.
Gaud asked Sir Sander to kneel and take the oath.
Sir Sander decided to do so!
In full view of the public, Sir Sander drew his axe from his waist and raised it above his head, knelt down before Gaud and swore an oath of allegiance in the name of the Drowning God and the Sander family, to whom he offered his short axe, to which he would be slain if he violated his oath in the future.
Gaud accepted Sir Sander's hatchet.
After taking care of the Merlin family, the few remaining minor nobles had little effort, and everyone knelt down to Gyode and swore allegiance.
"Thanks to your lords for choosing me as your lord in a life-or-death situation, Raveneye betrayed us and abandoned us here, but his guards did not leave, and most of them remained here. We've already killed some of them, and I'm going to need everyone to kill them all together. ”
This is equivalent to a complete break with Raven's Eye, and from now on, Grand Wick Island will no longer be under Raven's Eye's orders.
A crow-eyed dead soldier who had chosen to surrender was furious, and drew his sword at his waist to assassinate Gaud, but a black shadow flashed, and a throwing axe spun and flew out, hitting him in the face.
