(For the reward of [D], I still owe 3 more, including the reward of [Golden-winged Ancestral Dragon], thank you for your support!)

Raven's Eye waved his spiked wand and shouted, "Roundabout the Tower left and right." ”
The streets and alleys in the city are interconnected with each other, and the main streets are not passable, and the side streets and alleys can be interspersed with detours.
So, Iron Seed and the pirates split up and outflanked the Stone Tower.
Julie and Angai stood tall and saw clearly, and did not like to fight, they dodged behind the stone tower, slipped down the rope, jumped down in the air when the tower was one floor high, jumped on the horse under the tower, and the two of them mounted their horses and went straight to the east gate.
The Raven-Eyed warriors make their way back to the Tower, and Julie and Angel are far away.
Crow-eye led the army to kill Count Odeh's main castle, and no longer encountered any obstacles along the way, the people of the main castle had fled, Crow-eye entered the various rooms of the main castle and rummaged through the cabinets, and Count Ode's belongings were not taken away, so it can be seen that he fled in a hurry, and he really escaped, not retreated.
If it was a retreat, Odd would have taken his belongings with him, there is no doubt about it.
Raven-Eye's vanguard has taken the castle lord's main fort, and the harbor docks of the West Side, as well as a steady stream of pirates and ironseeds, have jumped ashore and poured into the city with shouts.
Since Count Ode did not cooperate with Prime Minister Kevon's orders, Croweye was no longer polite, and he ordered the whole city to be looted.
Combined, Iron and Pirate have more than 100,000 troops, making it the most powerful naval fleet Westeros has ever seen.
Victor led 300 warships to the Bend to loot rations, and Raven's Eye had about 70,000 troops.
Crow's eye gave the order, and the robbery of the whole city began.
*
Outside the east gate, the Demon Mountain rode on the Red Smoke Beast, and behind it was the elite of a thousand horses.
Captain Erin of the Guards led a hundred dead men, Captain Joyce Fouca led the elite Hundred Horsemen of Fuqua, Dunson the Executioner led the Hundred Horsemen, Sweetmouth Raff led the Hundred Horsemen, Polliver the Artist led the Hundred Horsemen, Solo Curtis, the leader of the Crabclaw Peninsula Marshes led two hundred Heavy Horsemen, Captain Moritz Leo led two hundred Heavy Horsemen, Julie Clegane led the army of one hundred Horsemen, and Ange Clegane led one hundred Horsemen.
The magic mountain is in the center, and the generals on the left and right are lined up, and behind the generals is a phalanx of 100 people who maintain absolute silence.
This is the absolute elite of the more than 3,000 cavalry in the Magic Mountain, one person can be used as ten people, and all of them regard death as home.
The whole city was chaotic, shouting, and noisy, and outside the east gate, a quiet cavalry regiment of a thousand people lined up.
In the distance, the major nobles of the Western Frontier were retreating with their own family warriors, and when they reached a far enough position, everyone stopped and looked back.
In the whole of the western frontier, the army in its heyday plus the militia, about 70,000 people. The regular army of 60,000 nobles, of which about 30,000 were professional soldiers, and the navy of Raven's Eye, 70,000 men, and more than 700 warships, were like dark clouds falling from the sky and filling the entire port. Outside the harbor, there were hundreds of warships moored that could not enter the harbor.
The power of Raven's Eye is unbelievable.
But this is the truth, and it is also the confidence of the crow-eye to dare to enter the palace.
Although the 70,000 navy was not good at land warfare, their strength was so strong that the nobles of the western frontier were terrified after learning the truth.
Seven hundred warships!
The total strength is more than 1,000 warships!
When the Royal Navy warships were the most powerful, there were only more than a hundred, and the Crow's Eye was ten times the advantage of the Royal Navy in the most powerful era. One of his strongest iron fleets, led by his brother Viktarion, is attacking the Riverlands.
The first pirates and ironseeds to appear at the East Gate were the vanguard of the big-headed Chiswick.
An iron breeder looked out from the gate of the city with the east gate wide open, and saw the cavalry arranged very neatly outside, he was taken aback, and hurriedly told his comrades around him, who were also surprised when they looked at it.
The enemy cavalry did not crowd at the gate of the eastern gate, but was about the distance of an infantry charge...... They saw a strange horse burning like flames, with a sharp red horn the length of a short sword on the top of its head. Riding on the strange horse was a giant, wearing a huge flat-topped iron helmet and shiny black plate armor, and the mask was lowered to reveal a narrow slit.
The giants were imposing, staring at the pirates and ironseeds in the gates. He was empty-handed, and the hilt of a greatsword on his back protruded diagonally from the top of his right shoulder.
Magic Mountain!
The famous Magic Mountain!
The unbeatable Magic Mountain!
By the side of the Magic Mountain, the flag bearer was holding a flag, and the patterns on the flag were the Red Smoke Beast and the Cold Ice Sword!
A centurion got the news and rushed over to see that outside the east gate, the magic mountain and his cavalry phalanx did not move at all.
The centurion was a bandit, and when he saw the power of the magic mountain, his heart fell for it, and he did not dare to come forward to attack, he gave the order to go down, and more centurions heard that the magic mountain outside the east gate was blocking the way, presumably to prevent them from going out of the city to chase and kill Lannis's people and nobles.
Several centurions and warriors poured to the east gate, and the magic mountain and his cavalry remained motionless, as if they were sculptural puppets. Several centurions looked at each other, they had been in a hundred battles, brave and ferocious, but when they saw the horses and men of the Magic Mountain, they were so powerful that everyone was afraid and did not dare to attack.
"Go and tell King Eulon. "A centurion ordered his own guards.

After winning the throne of Sea Stone at the king election meeting, Crow-Eyed Eulen declared the Iron Islands independent as a country and proclaimed himself the king of the Iron Islands. This is somewhat similar to the 'king' of the Martell family of Dorne, who, despite being loyal to the Red Keep and being a vassal of the Red Keep royal family, retains the throne and calls himself 'Prince', with a daughter being a princess and a son being a prince. Tax, military, and economic autonomy are all autonomous.
Raveneye also hopes to be like Prince Martell of Dorne, who is the king of the Iron Isles and can also enter the royal family of the Red Keep, become a royal minister of the Seven Kingdoms, and then plot a bigger goal.
The Iron Islands are made up of five major island groups, and the only thing that can be turned into money on the island is the iron ore on the island of Great Wick. - In fact, the five major island groups of the Iron Islands have iron mines, and the large and small Pike Islands where the Greyjoy family lives are full of bottomless iron ore caves, and in thousands of years of history, the iron ore on the five major island groups has been almost mined, and only the mountains of Big Wick Island are still buried with rich iron ore.
Iron ore is one of the resources that Magic Mountain will never forget.
*
Croweye, who was rummaging through the main castle of Count Odeh, received a report that there was a magic mountain blocking the road outside the east gate to prevent the legions from rushing out to chase and cut down the soldiers and civilians who had escaped from the city. As soon as he heard that the magic mountain personally led the troops to break off, the crow-eyed was overjoyed and issued an order, all the soldiers were there, and they killed the east gate together.
Raveneye knew that his forces were invincible at sea, and on land, his previous might was unmatched. Pirates and ironbreeds are good at naval warfare, but a considerable number of pirates are mercenary backgrounds, whether it is naval or land warfare, they are real veterans who have been trained for thousands of years. And the iron breed is born to be a genius warrior in naval and land warfare, and the robbery does not only happen on the sea, for the iron species, more battles take place on land.
Iron has been robbing and fighting since he was a teenager, and if he can't land and rob coastal castles in peacetime of the Seven Kingdoms, he will sail to rob the island nation in the sea, and go to the coastal towns of the free trade city-states on the other side of the Narrow Sea. Many of the great wars took place on land.
Raven's Eye knows his strengths, and there are many people. His pirates and iron breeds are not a rabble, they are elite divisions.
*
The herald galloped to the harbor on horseback, and gathered the archers on board to hurry to the east gate.
Since the Magic Mountain is blocked by heavy cavalry at the east gate, then shoot arrows first, and when the enemy's position is loose and morale is leaked, Crow's Eye will launch an infantry cover.
It seems like a simple arrangement, but it is the most direct and effective tactic.
Between two points, the straight line is the shortest, in the dazzling boxing, the straight punch is the simplest and effective, and in the swordsmanship, the straight piercing armor is the most powerful!
Raveneye has not learned any of the art of war, but he will do so in a simple way that children know.
Perhaps, this may be a bit of an allusion to the essence of 'heavy sword without edge, great ingenuity without work'!
The archers on the battleship rushed to the east gate as fast as they could, and Raveneye rode slowly on his horse, and as the archers made their way through the city to the battlefield, Raveneye slowly arrived.
Pirate chieftains, it is not uncommon to have a couple of horses on a battleship. Once landed, the chieftain and centurion also had horses to ride and would not be compared.
After Crow's Eye landed, a horseman brought a horse for him.
Crow's eye gave the order, and the archers all went up to the wall, lined up, drew their bows and arrows, and listened to his orders. He rode his horse slowly to the east gate, and saw the burly Magic Mountain and his famous Red Smoke Beast.
Raveneye and his horse slowly exited the city gates, and the guards on the left and right followed closely. In front of the two armies, facing the Magic Mountain, Crow's Eye and his war horse had no momentum.
Boom Boom!
Boom Boom!
The archers of the Crow's Eyes were hurrying up the wall of the East Gate, row after row, row after column, quickly spreading out over the long wall.
Archers were arranged on the city wall, and this tactic alone made the Magic Mountain look at the crow's eye with admiration. Raveneye is much more savvy than the tribal leaders of the Bright Moon Mountain Range and the Crab Claw Peninsula, and he is also very calm, and does not rely on the strength of the crowd to swarm up and slash indiscriminately.
That kind of active street hooligan-style fighting is actually exactly what Magic Mountain wants.
Raven's military literacy is undoubtedly very high, although this only proves the mediocrity and blindness of the drowning god.
Demon Mountain shouted: "Centurion Julie, Baron Angay, after the two of you lead the bow of the headquarters to break off, the rest of the generals will lead the headquarters to retreat with me!"
Julie and Angai agreed in unison.
Deng Sen really wanted to charge and kill the enemy, which was also the voice of all the soldiers: "Lord Demon Mountain, I apply to lead the hundred cavalry of the headquarters to rush and kill for a while, and frustrate the sharpness of the iron seed." ”
The Demon Mountain snorted coldly, knocked the Red Smoke Beast with his left leg, the Red Smoke Beast turned its head to the right, and the sound of its hooves was good, pulling out an arc and running towards the Coastal Avenue. Deng Sen was reluctant in his heart, but he had no choice but to follow closely.
The archers of the Crow's Eyes had not yet arrived, and the cavalry of the Demon Mountain had already moved away, only two teams of archers were slowly retreating.
It was simply impossible for the infantry to pursue the cavalry. The few horses of Crow's eyes cannot be called cavalry, they are just tools for Crow-eyes and the guards to travel.
The archer of Raven's Eye continued to climb the walls. Julie and Angel slowly retreated with their bows. Raven Eye had seen Julie and Angel's arrows, he was a man of great ambition who would not risk his life, and his spiked wand pointed forward, which was the order to attack.
Iron and the pirates shouted in unison, surging towards Julie and Angel's two hundred horsemen like the waves of the sea.
Crow's Eye used the tactics of crowds to kill these two hundred archers, especially the two Divine Arrow Generals.
Crow's Eye has a special taboo against archers, this kind of archer, take the life of a general in a hundred thousand troops, just one arrow, his own life is very precious, not to be attacked by the archers, the safest strategy is naturally to kill the arrow general.
The iron and pirates charged forward like a tidal wave, unloading their small round shields from their backs, shouting, and lunging forward.
Two hundred bows shot together, poof, and the iron and pirates fell.
The archers are elite, and everyone has no arrows!
Raven's eye laughed, and the death of his men had no effect on him.
He was a very generous chieftain, a king, very generous with money, and very generous with the lives of his warriors.
Those who rushed to the front, they can only blame them for their bad luck, this is the battle damage.
Raveneye ordered the herald to urge the warriors to move on.
There is a lot of money and a lot of people in the crow's eyes, and now is not the time to give out a bounty, but the time for the warriors to pile up and kill the enemy.
Woohoo!
Bows and arrows rained down, and the screams of iron and pirates rang out one after another.
"Attack, attack, attack!" Croweye urged desperately, waving his spiked stick.
He must kill them all. As for how many of their own fighters died, Crow's Eye didn't matter at all. After he sat on the throne of the seastone, he used a lot of money to integrate all the iron seeds, and now it was time for the iron seeds and pirates to return them.
The Irons and Pirates who are not afraid of death are battered as they charge, which suffocates their momentum!
"Shields, shields, all shieldmen, charge me!" raven-eyed was furious, and rode on his horse with a hoarse voice.
If it weren't for the other party's Divine Arrow General, Crow-Eyed Ullun would definitely have rushed out. He was very desperate for his life, but he was also very brave in battle. His bravery, generosity, cruelty, and cunning have made him the largest group of pirates on the Sunset Sea, the Narrow Sea, the Summer Sea, and many other seas. Strong enough to easily destroy a large number of island nations.
Threatening hundreds of small island nations in the sea to pay tribute is the secret of Raven's Eye's fortune.
With the roar of the raven's eyes, more iron pirates rushed forward, and the rain of arrows was still there, but the effect was quickly weakening, because more and more iron and pirates were charging with shields, effectively neutralizing the threat of arrows.
The Iron Breed and the pirates quickly approached Julie and Angel's archers.
"Retreat! retreat!" shouted Angai.
He and Julie took the lead in beating horses and galloping.
The two hundred archers shouted and fled with all their might.
The honor of the knight and the glory of the warrior have all turned into the motivation to escape, and they are as anxious as a lost dog, and they are as busy as a fish that has slipped through the net. The sound of the horsewhip exploded in the air, the spurs kicked the horse's belly and blood, and in the blink of an eye, two hundred archers roared away, chasing the Magic Mountain cavalry legion that fled first.
Crow's eyes were dumbfounded!
Although he was cruel and ruthless, on the battlefield, he had a slight disadvantage, so he fled shamelessly, he had never done this before, and it was the first time he had seen it.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded like a torrential rain, and in the blink of an eye, the archers roared away, leaving behind two dusty tailfires.
The speed of the iron and pirates was extremely fast, but due to the natural disadvantage of two legs compared to four legs, they had to slowly stop, and the sound of foul language curses rang out deafeningly.
In the distance, the Western Army infantry and the Cregan infantry fled frantically.
In front of the powerful forces of Crow's Eyes, Lord Demon Mountain ran away before they could fight, and if the Crow-Eye army took the opportunity to cover up and chase after them, they would probably be caught up after a long time.
The sword and shield men of the big-headed Chiswick, the pikemen of the Clegane and the West, the infantry of Earl Ode, the infantry of the Chicken Hall, the infantry and cavalry of Corn City, and the mixed cavalry of Castle Rock...... Not to be left behind, everyone took out the strength to eat milk powder and fled in all directions...... As long as you run ahead of others, you don't have to worry about being bitten by the tail of the Raven-Eyed army.
The number of warriors in Crow's Eyes and the strength of the army were the first time that the legion soldiers of the Westlands and the Magic Mountain had seen it.
After the Demon Mountain was broken, they wanted the nobles in the western realm to retreat safely first, but after these people ran out of a distance, in order to see the Demon Mountain War Crow's Eyes, they actually relaxed and stopped to look, instead of fleeing first as respect!
Until they saw the magic mountain fleeing without killing a single person, the western army who wanted to see the battle was frightened, and the soldiers turned around and fled desperately. With this force, the speed was really like a rabbit, and he ran out of the shameless temperament of the lost dog.
