Chapter 0750: Asha Claims the King: The Magic Mountain is an important place
Great Wake Island, Rocky Mountain.
Solid Rock Hill is the private domain of the Gubl family.
At the foot of the rocky mountain, a very majestic megalithic castle was built, Warhammer Point.
The castle had sharp iron battlements, like the spikes of a war hammer. The city walls are clumsy and sturdy, and the huge stones that build the city are quarried from the cliffs on the rocky hill behind the city.
Beneath the walls of the boulder city, countless caves and ancient mines are densely packed, like the black mouths of magical monsters waiting to devour life in the cold glimmer of the night.
On the city wall, there is a bonfire burning, and several soldiers are chatting and drinking around the bonfire. Listening to what they were talking about, they were telling the story about the battle between the Magic Mountain coalition forces in the north and the strange ghosts, and they all said it with their eyebrows, as if they had witnessed everything with their own eyes.
In the sky, three huge black shadows flew over the castle like black clouds. In the interior of the island, not a single sound of the waves can be heard. The night breeze can't blow the smell of the sea.
Solid Stone Mountain is the beginning of a mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles.
In the distance, there was a faint sound of clanging, the sound of iron striking far away in the silence of the night.
The people of lord Gauder Gübl worked in the mines, day and night.
Most of the nobles on the Iron Islands live on the sea. But the Gubler family never relied on the sea, and all their income came from iron ore. In the rocky mountains, in the dark stone caves beneath the surface, many miners have never seen the vast sea water from life to death.
The life of the miners was miserable, and in order to ensure the continuous production of iron ore, the Gubler family often disguised themselves as pirates and went to the villages of the green land to capture other people's people.
The Iron Islands were so poor that people could not support themselves from the land on the islands, so every family of the Iron Breeds became pirates. Despite the fact that the people of the Iron Race are as fierce as savages and have a very low level of civilization, the Iron Breeds have a natural sense of superiority, believing that only the native women of the Iron Islands are worthy of being the wives of the Iron Seeds. As for the women outside, whether they are nobles or commoners, they are only worthy of being the salt concubines of the iron breeds.
The iron breeds of the Iron Islands can only have one wife, they are called rock wives, but there can be countless salt concubines, as long as you can grab them, no matter how many women there are, you can be accepted as salt concubines.
Daenerys Targaryen rode the dragon slowly lowered, and the three dragons hovered low in the air of Warhammer Horn. The soldiers on the walls and the people in the castle were business as usual, the ladies and gentlemen of the noble families were already resting, and no one realized that their fate was about to change.
"Who is the acting lord of Warhammer Horn?" Daenerys's voice suddenly sounded in the air, and the crisp voice was loud and full of sharp blade intent.
On the city wall, several soldiers who were drinking and laughing around the bonfire stopped together. They looked up in horror and saw three giant birds in the sky arranged in a triangle under the blue starry sky, and on the back of the large bird headed by them was a figure.
"All the people of House Gübler, all the people of Warhammer Horn, I am Daenerys Targaryen, born in Dragonstone in the King's realm in an unprecedented storm, the princess of the former King Elise Targaryen, the heir to the Iron Throne of the Red Keep, and in 284 Aegon I crossed the sea from Westeros to Braavos in the free city-state under the protection of the royal warriors. ”
"More than ten years later, I am the Kallihy, Queen Meereen, the Unburner, the Mother of Dragons, the Liberator of the Shackles, and I am the King of the Andals, the Roynars and the Ancestors of Westeros, and the Guardian of the Seven Kingdoms. Otherwise, the warhammer horns will be burned to ashes. ”
Correct!
After the Queen's long title and story were finished, the black dragon let out a dragon groan that pierced the soul of a man!
Inside the castle, the ponies in the stables neighed and shivered.
There are no tall horses in the Iron Islands, only small ponies. Moreover, on small islands such as Kuroshio Island and Old Wake Island, there are not even ponies.
On the city wall, the soldiers surrounding the bonfire looked up at the sky, no one spoke, and they were as stunned as wooden chickens.
In the sky, the evil aura of the three dragons was overwhelming.
Warhammer Point is a castle made of huge boulders, so strong that even trebuchets can't collapse the walls. Under the city walls, the dense old and new mines were natural barriers, making it impossible for the legions to march smoothly to attack the city. The warhammer horn, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, has only a hundred soldiers and two knights to defend the city.
The knights and centurion soldiers came out of the barracks, weapons in their hands, and looked at the three huge black shadows in the sky in silence. The scout hurried to the inner city and knocked on the gate of the main castle, and the acting lord Joul Gubler, the elder brother of Geud Gubler, was old and weak, and his eyes were dizzy, and after hearing the report, he trembled and went to the top of the castle, and saw three dragons in the sky.
"Dragon Flame!" Daenerys Targaryen commanded to ride the dragon.
The long necks of the three dragons lit up at the same time, the black dragon Zhuo Geng spat black and red flames, Rego was bronze and blue, with bright orange flames with faint green edges, and the white dragon Viserion breathed golden red flames.
The three dragon flames pulled out long tails of flames, lighting up the night sky and the shocked faces of the people of the city.
"Surrender or die!" Daenerys Targaryen shouted in the sky. She saw an old man surrounded by guards with swords on the roof of the main castle, Daenerys squeaked, and the black dragon Zhuo Geng flew down, and the bronze dragon and the white dragon immediately swooped down on the left and right, and both sides were on guard.
The city was large, the castle and towers were high, and both the dragon and Daenerys had extremely keen eyesight, and no soldiers tried to shoot the dragon and Daenerys with bows and arrows. The warriors had no intention of fighting
Daenerys suddenly arrives at the hands of three dragons, and people are shocked to believe that this is true. The people of the entire city lost their claim in the light of the dragon's fire.
The three elephant-sized dragons were terrifying, the hideous dragon head, long neck and tail, and glittering dragon scales that only the warhammer horns of a hundred soldiers could not resist.
Joul Gubler, though he was old and not far from death, clearly did not want to be burned to death by the dragon flames, and when the three dragons flew towards the main fort, he immediately knelt down, trembling and shouting in submission.
Three days later, Big Wick Island, rich in iron ore, Old Wake Island, with its sea stone, Kuroshio Island, which has nothing, Salt Cliff Island, which produces crude mineral salt, Harlow Island, which has slightly better land and the largest population, and Pike Island, where Asha's territory is located—all the nobles and knights of the six islands and their guards gather on Old Wake Island.
Daenerys Targaryen descends from the sky with three dragons, and she sees the Hall of the Grey Sea King for the first time. Surprised by the enormity of the sea dragon killed by the Gray Sea King, inside the skeleton of this sea dragon, a huge council hall can be built. In the council chamber, there is only one seat: the seat of the sea stone made from the skeleton of a sea dragon.
Most of the nobles from the islands were acting city lords, and during the Crow's Eye period, the major families of the Iron Islands were at their peak in strength, and the iron species that were loyal to and followed Crow's Eye to attack the western realm were almost completely wiped out, which severely damaged the living force of the Iron Islands.
After the appointment of Count Gubl as governor, the nobles of the islands elected a new generation of patriarchs, gathered the remnants of the defeated army, and restored some of the Iron Islands. However, the soldiers of the Iron Islands were brought to King's Landing by Earl Gubler after a short time of recuperation, leaving them at home with the old, weak, sick and disabled, which made Asha's king-electing meeting look bleak.
However, Asha's own three hundred and sixty iron breeds and Daenerys, plus three dragons, added a lot of atmosphere to this deserted scene.
A long black ship arrived at last, with a bow full of gray-robed monks, and the ship sailed into the harbor, and the monks disembarked with wooden sticks, and a tall priest was clustered in the center.
When the soldiers, knights, people, and boatmen on the shore saw the priest appear, they all knelt down on one knee, some prostrate on the ground, reached out and grabbed the sleeve of the priest's robe, and some kissed the back of the pastor's hand or the corner of the sleeve.
Asha Greyjoy and Daenerys heard a strange commotion outside in Aquaman's Hall, and a herald ran in and said, "Your Majesty, Pastor Elen is here." ”
Asha Greyjoy, who was standing beside Daenerys, was overjoyed, and laughed with thick lips: "Your Majesty, Iren is my uncle, the most respected priest in the Iron Islands, and having him preside over the king election meeting for me is the best blessing of the sea god to me. ”
Soon, a thin and tall priest with a hooked nose and black eyes walked into the Aquaman Hall, and the nobles and knights standing on both sides of the Aquaman Hall bowed their heads and greeted the priest.
Daenerys saw that the revered priest was barefoot, his eyes were as bright as a knife, he was dressed in a dirty, soaked linen robe, his hair was long and scattered over his shoulders, and his beard was many, long, as if it hadn't been trimmed for ten years. To Daenerys' surprise, the priest's hair and beard were covered in seaweed.
The priest was surrounded by dozens of monks armed with wooden sticks, all of whom looked fierce, and Daenerys felt that these monks were not like monks, they were more like bandits who stood in the way.
High Priest Ellen Greyjoy disappeared after Crow's Eye won the King's Election, and no one knows where he went. When the news of Asha Greyjoy's return spread throughout the Iron Islands, he miraculously appeared again, bringing with him a large group of disciples.
After Baron's death, Euron proposed the 'Elective Council' as a high priest, with the intention of supporting Victarion on the throne of the sea stone, but Raveneye came prepared and gave a speech and poured piles of gold coins and jewels on the ground for the nobles who submitted to him to take them, so the nobles of the Iron Islands turned to Raveneye.
Euron's plan failed completely, and the divine power was defeated by the Golden Dragon.
Euron asked Asha Greyjoy to give up the election in favor of Victalion before the election, but Asha flatly refused.
Eren doesn't approve of a woman sitting on the sea stone! But between Gubl and Asha, he chooses to support Asha!
Ellen strode in front of Daenerys and glared at Daenerys with blazing eyes: "Your Majesty, the deceased will not die, and it will rise again, and its momentum will be even stronger." Allow me to baptize Your Majesty as the god of the sea. ”
Daenerys looked at this priest like an iron spear, and said with a cold expressionless face: "Pastor, I am the Mother of Dragons, the Unburner, the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and the guardian of the whole territory, you baptize Asha." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
At the beginning of the second month of Aegon 301 Calendar, Asha Greyjoy, with the help of Daenerys, easily regained control of the Iron Islands, and became the king of the Iron Islands in the presence of the nobles of the island. Then, outside the Hall of the Grey Sea King, Asha, as the king of the Iron Islands, led the people of the Iron Islands to kneel before Daenerys and swore allegiance. The news soon spread in the Seven Kingdoms, and the Seven Kingdoms shook!
When the news reached King's Landing, the officers and men of the Iron Islands fleet in Port Royal immediately panicked. The families of the officers and men of the fleet all fell into the hands of Asha Greyjoy, and the officers and men of more than 200 warships had no intention of sticking to the port of the Blackwater River, and they only wanted to fight back to the Iron Islands and regain their territory and family.
However, with the help of Daenerys' three dragons, Asha has to rely on warships to retake the Iron Islands and rescue her family from Pike City on Pike Island.
The morale of the Iron Islands fleet also affected the entire Royal Navy fleet, and the ominous atmosphere spread from the navy to the garrison corps and the defending coalition, seriously shaking the morale of the whole army.
King's Landing on the Red Keep, Queen Cersei, King Tomman, Queen Margaery Tyrellle, Prime Minister Mace, Commander-in-Chief of the Coalition Guard, Baron Swain, Commander-in-Chief of the Garrison, Bron Commander-in-Chief of the Garrison, Jenny Westerling, Minister of Justice, Bernie Clegane, Secretary of Intelligence, Wagner Gall, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, and Corben, ...... The Imperial Ministers gathered in the Imperial Council of the Iron Throne for an emergency response meeting.
Prime Minister Mace Tyrell was the first to say, "Lady Janie, how many dragon hunting crossbows have been built by the weaponmaster Tob Mott, and can they deal with Daenerys' three dragons?"
"In my humble opinion, it's enough to deal with Daenerys' three dragons. Jenny said, her gaze slowly scanning over the crowd before finally landing on Queen Cersei's face.
Cersei was expressionless: "We need the War Secretary Moshan to come back and take command of the coalition forces and defeat Daenerys Targaryen." I'm worried about those three dragons right now. ”
"We already have enough dragon hunting crossbows, Your Majesty the Queen Mother. Prime Minister Metz said.
"I'm still not at ease, National Teacher, please release the raven and immediately spread the Demon Mountain to King's Landing. ”
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, the dragon who accompanies him in the Bright Moon Mountain Range, I'm afraid the raven won't be able to deliver the letter. ”
"Send it to the Valley Blood Gate first, and then let the knights of the Valley Blood Gate send the letter into the Bright Moon Mountain Range. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Ten days later, the Queen Mother Cersei received a reply from the Magic Mountain, and the letter was very brief: Your Majesty the Queen Mother, give me the West, and I will gather the North, the Riverlands, the Valleys, the West, the King's Lands, and the Six Lands of Dorne to eradicate Daenerys Targaryen.
