Chapter 117

The next day, everyone was ready. But then suddenly he was summoned again. Everyone was a little puzzled, but Su Yuan showed a knowing smile. He had been on the alert last night and knew that a fleet had stopped at port. They even know who is coming. He didn't stop because this person was exactly what he was looking for.

Theon and Byron followed Su Yuan to the council hall. Unexpectedly, the entire hall was already full. Including the various elders of the Iron Islands. Their faces were solemn, and in the middle of the crowd stood an extremely conspicuous figure.

The stubble on his face was full of traces of being destroyed by the sea breeze. He wears a black mask on his left eye. There was always a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth. It's the kind of cheap smile that wants people to hit him when you see it. This man was none other than Euron. Greyjoy, Baron. Greyjoy's younger brother, he also has a code name, Croweye.

He was exiled for adultery with his brother Viktarion's salt concubine. Baron ordered that Euron should not return to the Iron Islands unless he died. Now, however, he was standing on the Iron Islands, and it was clear......

"Uncle Euron, why are you here, my father?" Also raising this question is Theon's enchantment, Asha Greyjoy. It is only at this time that the brother and sister will agree on the same page.

At this time, one of the elders of the Iron Islands spoke.

"Just last night, there was a tragedy in the Iron Islands. Our lord, Balon Greyjoy, stumbled off a cliff and died. So, we're going to make a decision today about the new Iron Isles Lord. ”

"Is that so? Your lord has just died, and you haven't even seen the corpse yet, so you're here to choose a new lord? With a word, Su Yuan directly scolded the unknown elder back. Yu Lun glanced at Su Yuan with some surprise, not knowing what his identity was. Su Yuan's deeds have not yet reached the sea, and he does not know Su Yuan.

"I regret my brother's tragedy very much. But war is imminent, and the Iron Islands cannot be avoided. In order to ensure the interests of the people of the Iron Islands. I think it's better to decide on the lord first. Isn't that right? Euron looked around the hall. At least half of them echoed his claims.

This also shows from the side that Baron is a rookie. Before he knew it, an exiled brother had already had such a huge influence on the island, and he didn't know anything on his side, and he sat all day dreaming of being king.

"Makes sense, but I think it's just a succession ceremony, so let's just keep it simple. At this particular moment, I don't think Theon would care about the tedious etiquette. Am I right, Theon. ”

Theon immediately understood.

"Of course, I am deeply saddened by my father's tragedy. I hope to organize people to recover my father's body. At the same time, my succession ceremony was simple. The war has already begun, and we need to race against time. ”

The two sang and harmonized, and it seemed that the lord's seat had been determined.

"There are three Greyjoys in this hall, why do you inherit the throne of lordship." One of the elders snorted coldly and shouted.

"Really? How many of the three Greyjoy are the sons of Earl Baron? If there are more than two, I didn't say what I said just now. As Su Yuan spoke, he had already stared at the elder who retorted.

"This is the Iron Islands, and we have our laws...... Uh......" Before he could finish speaking, the elder clutched his throat and went down. He had a dagger stuck in his throat. Su Yuan walked slowly to the center of the hall.

"Your law? That's a bit of a bold statement, huh? As far as I know, there is only one law of succession on this continent, and that is the law common to the Seven Kingdoms. Where did your law come from? Your words are complicit in the conspiracy, and I, as a knight of the Stark family, deserve to execute you in accordance with the Law. There's nothing wrong with it. ”

Su Yuan said, looking around. By that time, most of the people of the Iron Islands had already seen who he was. However, they hadn't seen Su Yuan's combat power with their own eyes, so no matter what the rumors were, it was difficult to deter this group of rebellious bandits.

Rubbing, the sound of a dozen sword draws. Around the hall, more than a dozen heavily armed soldiers suddenly gathered around. Obviously, this group of so-called elders of the Iron Islands has never taken the laws of the Seven Kingdoms or the rules of the Stark family to heart.

"Interesting, I'm curious. Your lord has just died, and a new lord has not yet appeared. Whose commands do you obey? As soon as Su Yuan's words came out, the faces of the surrounding soldiers changed for a while. These words are simply heart-wrenching.

"The Iron Islands have stood for thousands of years, and the test is not to obey the laws of the Seven Kingdoms. It's our warships, our swords, our faith. The weak cannot be recognized in the Iron Islands. Even if Theon could sit in that position, he would only lead the Iron Islands to decline in the end. Only those who are as strong in body as they are in heart can lead the Iron Islands to glory. I, Greyjoy, am the man.

I've spent twenty years traveling the world. I have seen the fiercest storms, slain the fiercest Dothraki, and plunder the richest Abyssal merchants. I, Greyjoy, pledge here, as long as I can sit in the lord's seat. I will lead the Iron Islands to become the Eighth Kingdom. ”

Yu Lun was very smart, he couldn't figure out the details of Su Yuan. And he didn't plan to confront Stark head-on, so he chose to canvass for votes. I have to say, although this guy is ruthless and crazy. But the IQ is really not low, and for this kind of political battle, it is much stronger than Theon and Asha.

This round of speeches immediately aroused the passion in the hearts of many iron people. You must know that the vast majority of iron people have a heart to be kings.

Su Yuan slowly took a few steps back and explained a few words in Theon's ear. Theon hesitated, but also stepped forward.

"Leading the Iron People to glory? High-sounding lies. Uncle, if I were you, I would say something practical. If I sat in that seat, I would cut down every tree on the island and melt every piece of iron. Build a fleet like never before. I will lead the Iron Folk in a raid on Kaiyan City. We'll empty all the vaults in Castle Rock and rob all the gold mines in the West. We'll hang that old fellow Tywin on a tree and see if the he pulls is golden. (The joke of the Seven Kingdoms describes the wealth of the West.) The that Duke Tywin pulls is all gold. ）”

Canvassing for votes is all about who promises more benefits. Euron came up with a traditional high-level speech. The gorgeous fake big empty can easily arouse the resonance of the iron people. Theon, on the other hand, directly promised more practical benefits. In contrast, this is the right way to canvass votes.
