Martin was taken down and tied up, and the Magic Mountain said, "Martin, which is the first castle in the West that Croweye is going to attack? What is his specific attack plan? Will the attack be during the day or at night?

“...... Lord Duke, I don't know...... I don't know anything...... I don't have any connection to Crow's Eye either......"

Magic Mountain looked at Count Odeh: "Lord Earl, maybe we need to use punishment. ”

*

The Earl of Ode refused to punish Martin, and he knew that Martin was innocent. Since the beginning of the Crab Claw Peninsula, Count Ode has lost his freedom and has been controlled by the Magic Mountain. The first time he realized his 'weakness' was in the Foqua tribe of the Crab Claw Peninsula. After returning to the West, this feeling was even stronger after seeing the increasingly powerful Klegon Legion in the Magic Mountain.

In the port, there is a Clegane mixed mercenary group of 2,000 people, which is the same number as the former Seagull mercenary group, and this mercenary group has become the most active mercenary group in the port. The commander of the mercenary regiment is none other than the big-headed Chiswick. The other person was not in the port barracks of the Knife Regiment, but in the village of Klegane, and this team was not his direct warrior, but it did not affect the prestige of this mercenary group.

The name of the War Knife Regiment originated from the history of the big head. The street hooligans are all children of poor families, many of them are orphans and vagabonds, because they are poor, they can't afford to buy good swords, let alone armor, and they come out to mix kitchen knives, wood knives, short knives, daggers and other knives, hence the name war knife.

In fact, the Knife Regiment took control of the harbor and became brothers to Lannis's naval soldiers. A considerable number of them are naval warriors, former brothers of the big-headed Chiswick. This group of people used to be the main force of the Seagull Mercenary Corps, and after being conquered by dozens of people led by the big head Chiswick, they were all commanded by the big head, and later the big head was taken into custody by Earl Odd and beaten into death row, and the Knife Regiment disintegrated, and a considerable part of the Seagull brothers joined Count Ode's naval fleet and became a naval soldier.

For this part of the brothers, the big head is their former boss, the commander. When the big-headed Chiswick returned to Lannisport, he quickly became the uncrowned king of Lannisport, and the commander of the naval fleet, the centurion, was all close to him.

Count Odd saw very clearly that the big head controlled the port of Lannisport visibly and invisibly, and he did not dare to reveal any dissatisfaction, and he still had to maintain his mask of authority in front of Master Bancrof, and did not dare to say the 'contradiction' and 'control' between him and the Magic Mountain.

The dilemma for Count Ode stems from the fact that the Mountain is too powerful, and Kevon Lannister has to rely on outside forces to deal with the Mountain.

Westside, it's the Lannisters, not the Cleganes!

Kai Feng wants to kill the magic mountain with the help of Crow's Eye, and Crow's Eye wants to use Kai Feng to enter the palace, and the two sides hit it off. And Kaivon told this secret to Count Oder, who couldn't tell it in the face of the Magic Mountain, because he was also a Lannister.

However, the Blood Wizard's prophetic abilities kept Count Ode awake, and he had to follow the plan of the Magic Mountain, which was already wary of killing him with just one punch.

In addition, Count Ode also knew that Jaime had taken Princess Messira Baratheon back to King's Landing from Dorne by ship, and for the sake of Lannisport, for his daughter Rosamon, for himself, and for the sake of Lannister, Earl Ode had to conform to the Magic Mountain before trying to get a chance.

It's just that what did the magic mountain's prophecy see, and if the magic mountain didn't say it, Aode would never dare to ask. From the fragments of the prophecy, did you see the prophecy of Kaivon Mi ordering Odd to cooperate with Crow's Eye to kill the Magic Mountain? Odd didn't know that this made him suffer from gains and losses, and his heart was frightened and frightened, and he was in a dilemma.

Conform to the Magic Mountain, he is a Lannister, and the control of the palace is also in the hands of the Lannister, and the Magic Mountain is powerful and invincible, and can get rid of his life at any time, and seize Lannisterport.

The Mountain's offer to torture Martin is a deliberate attempt to get Count Ode to harm the Lannisters in order to sabotage his future path back to the Lannisters. However, Count Odd did not hesitate, because he knew that he had no choice, and the nobles of the whole western realm were witnesses: he Odd was forced to the power of the Magic Mountain, not intentionally.

*

The Earl of Odd ordered Martin to be whipped, the first lash distorted Martin's features, the second whip, Martin screamed, and the third whip, Martin began to curse...... Flogging, the professional skill of the most professional executioner, has never been able to carry ten lashes.

The tortured people were all dressed in thin trousers! Every time they were whipped, they were stained with blood, and the force of the whip penetrated into their bodies and cracked their skin.

Martin was hanged in the hall and flogged for a long time.

Martin's face was bloodless, and he did not dare to come forward to stop it, or argue with reason. His attendants dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. The power of the Magic Mountain, there used to be a Duke of Tywin, and now that the Duke of Tywin is dead, who would dare to restrain the Magic Mountain? At least among the nobles of the Western Realm in the hall, no one would dare!

The presence of the magic mountain silenced all the nobles who felt inappropriate and held their breath.

After the fifth lash, Martin fainted.

Magic Mountain said: "Martin is really a good young hero, tough guy, and would rather die to protect his father." I've always admired Martin and Prime Minister Kevon, but they shouldn't have colluded with Crow's Eye to invade our western borders. Although there is no longer a Western Army in the West, there is still a Klegane Army. To protect Castle Rock from being ransacked, Cayvon shouldn't have sacrificed our castle to Raveneye. Earl Ode, Martin is loyal to his father and Castle Rock, we can't get any effective information from him, since he would rather die than obey, let him go, he's still a child. “

Let Martin go, this is in line with the minds of many nobles.

Martin is indeed still a child, and whether Croweye will come to attack the West, the nobles also have doubts in their hearts. Kaifeng is the prime minister, if Croweye wants to enter the palace as an official, shouldn't he curry favor with Prime Minister Kaifeng? Why dare to invade the western frontier? Prime Minister Kaifeng has no reason for him to come and rob the western frontier.

It doesn't make sense!

But everyone was forced by the prestige and notoriety of the Magic Mountain, no one dared to stand up against it, and no one dared to stand up and express their doubts. The Magic Mountain kills, maybe it's just an unfriendly look.

There are no more capable people in the West!

Count Odd was thinking about how to save Martin, and when he heard the magic mountain say that he would be released, it was exactly what he wanted: "Lord Duke, since Martin didn't say it, maybe he didn't know the exact time when Crow's Eye would attack, so it was better to take Martin in prison first, and we had to sit down and discuss carefully how to fight Crow's Eye." ”

The aristocrats chimed in!

The nobles who were echoed by the Demon Mountain were all loyal ministers of Tywin before, and it seemed that there were many people, but in fact, there were not many nobles, and the silent ones were the majority.

West, the sea of the setting sun.

Three hundred warships lined up like black ghosts in the black night.

The sea crashed against the shore, and the warships took advantage of the waves to enclose a group of islands on all sides—the baylands, not far from the mouth of the Mandeb River, the territory of the bays: the Shield Islands.

The Shield Islands are a collective term for four islands: Green Shield Island ruled by the Chesta family, Grey Shield Island ruled by the Green family, Oak Shield Island ruled by the Hewitt family, and South Shield Island ruled by the Cyri family.

The Iron Folk attacked the High Court by water, crossed the Shield Islands into the Mandalay River, and went up the river to the Kuqiao. The four islands were the first line of coastal defense of the High Court and were considered to serve as four shields against the Iron Islands from attacking the Mandalay River Valley.

On the coastline of the island, a watchtower was built around the island, and the watchtower had a beacon tower on the top, and the watchtower had a shield in the watchtower, and the warriors of the four major families followed the ancient tradition and kept on guard day and night. As soon as they saw the longship, they lit the beacon fire on the watchtower and sent the message from one hill to another, from island to island. Get ready for the island's four great families and the towns and castles along the coast.

At the mouth of the Mandalay River, the Tyrells of the High Court sent their bravest warriors and best navy to the banks of the estuary, and built harbors for warships to protect the mouth of the Mandeb River.

In the past seventeen years, the four great families at the mouth of the Mandalay River and outside the estuary have never been attacked by the Iron Min, the four major families on the island and the high court navy in the port have all slackened and forgotten the battle, and the high court navy and the noble soldiers on the shield island have forgotten the history of fighting against the iron people.

The 300 Iron Ships are the most powerful naval fleet of the Greyjoy family: the Iron Fleet, led by Victarion Greyjoy, the second brother of Lord Baron, who has been murdered by Raveneye.

Victor Tarion is the most powerful naval force among the hundreds of warships of King Baron, when Crow's Eye did not return, Victarion was the core force of the Iron Marine, and after Crow's Eye returned, Victarion once competed with his brother Raven's Eye for the position of Sea Stone. Victor Leon's power is the strongest among the Iron People, and his prestige is extremely high, but he still loses to his second brother, Raven-Eye.

Victor Talion had the bravest warriors, the most powerful warships, the strictest discipline, and the support of his fourth brother, Iren.

The fourth brother, Ellen Greyjoy, is the archpriest of the Iron People, the great priest who believes in the drowning gods, and his prestige is second only to King Balon among the Iron People. Baron gave the best of the Iron Folk fleet to Victor Talion for control, he was the most powerful, and he also had the support of the Iron Folk as a god-like Archpriest, but he still lost to Crow-Eyed Eulon, and most of the nobles of the five island groups voted for Crow-Eye Eulon.

At the king-electing meeting, Crow-Eyed Eulun poured gold and silver, as well as all kinds of jade and pearls, on the stone steps, blinding the eyes of all the iron people.

Whoever is willing to vote for Croweye will get boxes of gold, silver and jade and get rich in one fell swoop.

There are three people involved in the Seastone's position, the first being Crow-Eyed Eulon, the second being Victor Talion, the Commander-in-Chief of the Iron Fleet, and the third being Asha Greyjoy, the eldest daughter of Baron.

When Crow-Eye kicked the boxes of money in front of Viktarion, Victarion gave up his participation in the election, knowing that he could not defeat Crow-Eye's wealth, and the famous Commander-in-Chief of the Iron Fleet chose to follow Crow-Eye Eulen and voted for Crow-Eye Eulon.

Victalion's sudden 'defection' left Asha in the middle of the election and fled with her brother, Theon Greyjoy, the true heir to the throne.

With the character of Raven's Eye, after obtaining the position of Sea Stone, the first ones to be eradicated are Asha and Theon.

Asha and Theon fled quickly, and when the queen was over and Raven-Eyed Eulun had been given the position of Sea Stone, he ordered the Iron Folk to arrest Asha only to learn that Asha had fled by boat.

Euron ordered a pursuit, but Asha's ship had already fled far away and could no longer catch up.

After his allegiance to Crow-Eyed Eulen, Victor became rich and his warriors followed him. When Victor became rich, he bought the best weapons and armor for his warriors and installed new crash heads on his ships.

The first few meters long, made of pure steel, like the fangs of a giant beast, once it hits the enemy's warship, the ship is basically destroyed.

Armed with 300 warships, Victor was ordered by Raveneye to lead a fleet to attack the Shield Islands in the darkness of night, then take the port of the Bab el-Mandeb River, destroy the navy of the High Court, and then march eastward along the Bab el-Mandeb River, plundering all the way into the belly of the river.

Victor Leon's combat power is amazing, and the iron fleet he leads is the only legion that dares to be fully armed in naval battles, and in naval battles, it is most taboo to be fully armed, because once you fall into the water, it is a dead end.

Dare to be fully armed and wear neat armor, not only courage, but also because of the confidence to win. Victor himself was equally armed, wearing a helmet with double horns and carrying heavy axes, most of his soldiers were extremely brave.

On the four major islands of the shield archipelago, none of the beacon towers were lit, and the iron people surrounded on all sides landed and slaughtered the castles of the four major families under the cover of night and the sound of the sea, slaughtering all the way. Many people were hacked to death with heavy axes in their sleep.

The Chesta family of Green Shield Island, the Grimm family of Grey Shield Island, the Hewitt family of Oak Shield Island, and the Celestial family of South Shield Island were slaughtered by the Iron Fleet led by Victor, and the commander-in-chief of the Iron Fleet ordered that all men be killed except for the women of the four major families.

When the castles of the four islands burned on fires, the naval barracks on the coastline of the Mandalay estuary were alarmed, dozens of warships in the harbor were alarmed, the officers and men on the shore were arrayed, the navy officers and men boarded the ships one after another, and dozens of warships lined up in battle formations, and did not go to recapture the four major islands, but lined up at the mouth of the sea, blocking the waterway of the Iron People's Navy into the Mandalay River.

In the castle of the Chesta family on Green Shield Island, Victor and his soldiers gathered the noblewomen of the four major families to drink and party all night, not paying any attention to the high court navy of the port.

Their laughter resounded through Green Shield Island and reached the shore.

At the same time, Raveneye personally led more than 700 warships to attack Lannisport in the west.
