Iron Islands.

The hall of the Grey Sea King was once again crowded with iron people.

"King Baron is dead! He gave his life to restore the ancient path of glory! He is Baron the Brave, he is the blessed Baron of God! However, now he is dead! Elen Greyjoy shouted. The waves are roaring, and they are responding.

"King Balon is dead!" The Iron Folk shouted in unison, their tones filled with anger.

"The deceased does not die, it will rise again, and its momentum will be even stronger!" Elen shouted, "We will never give in, we will never give up, we need a new king to sit on the throne of the sea stone and continue Baron's business!" ”

"The new king will rise again!" The Iron Folk responded.

"He will!" "But who is he?" Who will take Baron's place? Who can rule this sacred island? Who will reign over the Iron Breed! ”

The Drowning Priest raised his hands in the air with a frantic expression.

But the Hall of the Grey Sea King fell silent.

Everyone looked at each other, testing other people's plans.

Baron Greyjoy is dead, and his only son, Theon, should have succeeded him, but he is still in the north, and his life and death are unknown.

Baron also has a daughter, Asha, but Iron Min is afraid that he will not accept the rule of a woman.

In addition, Baron has three younger brothers, in order of age, namely "Crow-Eye" Euron, "Iron Captain" Victarion, and "Wet-haired" Iren.

It seems that Euron is the first in line of succession, but he was banished by King Balon and is not as famous in the Iron Islands as his younger brother as the commander of the Iron Fleet, Viktarion.

Iren didn't like Euron either, so when everyone was silent, he fixed his eyes on Viktarion and appealed again:

"Who will be our king?"

Victor nodded at his brother's eyes, and stepped up the steps.

"You all know me." Victor Leone raised his steel-armored iron fist towards the crowd, "I have no sweet words, only tomahawks and iron fists!" I have led the longships of the Iron Fleet in countless battles and led you to countless victories! Here, I only want to say one sentence -

What my brother Baron can give you, I can give!

And there will be more! ”

"Victor Leone! King Victalion! The men shouted loudly from the audience, and at the same time opened several chests, scattering countless plundered gold, silver and jewelry.

Captains and chieftains swarmed up, jostling for treasure and chanting Viktalion's name.

The corners of Elen's mouth curled slightly, but he immediately glanced in the direction of Euron with a little nervousness, wondering if he should make a move?

However, it was not Euron who stopped the shouting, but Asha, the daughter of King Balon.

"Uncle!" She stooped down to pick up a golden headband and scurried up the steps.

The cheers of the audience gradually stopped, and everyone wanted to hear what the daughter of the king of Baron had to say.

"My uncle is the most heroic man in the Iron Islands, but he is not the most qualified person to inherit the position of Sea Stone." Asha confidently placed the golden headband on her head, "Balon's brother will be behind Baron's daughter. ”

"That's the inheritance law of the Green Lands." Victor looked at his niece and said, "A woman has never sat on a sea stone. ”

"That was before." Asha turned to face the crowd and said loudly, "Uncle said he would give you more than my father." That's great, but what is that? Is it wealth? Glory? Or freedom?

No, it's not.

Think about it, and don't forget how we were hunted down by the armoured land knights in the Bend, the hordes of widows, and the countless longships that sank in the Mandeb River.

My father brought you failure, and this uncle of mine will bring you even more failures!

And I'm different, I'm not going to go down this path. ”

"And what will you bring us?" One of the leaders asked.

"Peace!" Asha said, "It's time for the Iron Breed to change, we can't fight the Iron Knight of the Green Lands, of course, I will never forget my father's revenge, but there are many ways to get revenge." Iron doesn't just know about raiding, we can also have allies.

The Lannisters have enemies in common with us, so we can unite with the Iron Throne to take revenge and win peace and victory! ”

"Victory!" Someone loudly chimed in.

"Asha! Asha! Asha! More and more iron people are starting to respond.

But more iron people are against:

"Don't be a coward! Don't want a woman! ”

"Victor Leone! Victarion is the King of Iron! ”

The crowd began to push each other, and someone picked up a rock and threw it at Asha, and she scrambled to dodge, causing the golden headband to fall.

The confusion grew worse, but at this moment, suddenly a loud horn sounded.

The sound of a horn as deadly as a blade.

Woo woo woo –

Everyone's eyes turned in the direction from which the horn sounded.

It was one of the crew members of Crow's Eye Euron blowing a trumpet.

Red-gold streaks crawled across the surface of the horn, and countless inscriptions carved in ancient Valyrian began to turn red and white until they erupted with fire.

A terrible voice resounded through the halls of the Grey Sea King, filled with pain and anger that almost scorched people's ears.

The ironmen covered their ears tightly and cursed loudly, but their voices were drowned out by the sound of trumpets.

While they were in agony, the trumpeter suddenly deflated, and saw a thin puff of smoke rise from his mouth, and then he shook and collapsed, his mouth covered with blood and burnt red blisters.

"Crow-eyed" Euron slowly walked up the hill.

All eyes were on him.

"Iron people." Euron looked at the crowd with those smiling eyes, "You've all heard my trumpet, now listen to what I have to say."

I am the eldest brother of Baron, and I have the blood of the Golden Kraken in my veins, and among the living Kraken, I am the only one who has not tasted defeat, only I have never bent my knees, and I am the only one who has been to Yasha in the Land of Shadows and witnessed unimaginable miracles and horrors......"

"If you like the shadows so much, go back!" Someone shouted below.

Ignoring him, Euron continued:

"Raveneye, that's the nickname you gave me. Ravens have a talent for seeking death, and I'm seeing all of Westeros on its way to death! Those who will follow me will feast on its end to the fullest!

My brother will complete the Baron Trail, my niece will bring peace to you, and I, I will bring you all of Westeros!

We are born of iron, the ancient overlords, and our decrees have been unhindered wherever the waves go! From Lanniport to Storm's End, from Winterfell to Halberd, from the Bright Moon Mountains to the Shield Islands, I promise, we'll get all of Westeros! ”

"Crow's Eye!" Asha was not deceived by the other party's rhetoric, "Have you lost your sanity in Yasha?" If we can't even defend the High Court, how can we conquer the Seven Kingdoms? ”

"Why not?" Euron chuckled, "Haven't you heard the story of Aegon the Conqueror? He probably didn't have as many troops on Dragonstone as we did at that time. ”

"But he has three dragons."

"yes. And I will have three dragons. "The trumpet you have just heard is what I found in the ruins of Valyria, and no living person dares to set foot in that land cursed by the gods except me.

You have experienced its sound and felt its power. It is the Dragon's Horn, with ancient talismans carved into stripes forged from fiery gold and Valyrian steel, which the dragon kings of the past blew to drive dragons until the apocalypse.

Through it, I can also make dragons obey my call. ”

Euron's gaze slowly swept over everyone's faces, taking their expressions in his eyes, and then revealing a smug smile:

"And this is undoubtedly worthy of a crown of driftwood."

After a brief silence, the Hall of the Grey Sea King was filled with cheers:

"Euron! Euron! Euron! ”

Victarion pursed his lips and turned to stride away.

He knew he didn't have a chance.

The throne is destined to be crow-eyed.

Leaving the hall, the noise was gradually replaced by the sound of the waves.

Victor Talion was full of melancholy and anger, yes, anger.

It was his brother Eulen who took over his wife and forced him to kill her.

He also wanted to kill Euron, but killing his relatives would be cursed by the gods, so Baron stopped Victalion and banished Euron.

Now, Euron has returned, and is the king of the Iron Islands.

Victor Talion could not accept such a reality.

"My dear brother." Euron's voice rang out behind him.

Victor clenched his fists and said without looking back:

"Are you here to show me off?"

"It's just a crown of wood, what's there to show off." Ulun's tone was frivolous.

But this made Victalion even angrier: "If you don't want it, give it back to me!" ”

"I'll give it to you, don't worry." Yolun smiled, "When I sit on the Iron Throne, of course the position of the Sea Stone will be yours." ”

Victor turned his head and looked at his brother suspiciously:

"Do you really think of yourself as a conqueror? Where is your dragon? ”

"Yes." "And besides the dragon, I need a queen." So, dear brother, would you like to go to Slave Bay and bring my queen back? ”

Victor's fists clenched even tighter:

"You took my wife, but you want me to help you find the queen?"

"You're the one who killed her." Euron shrugged, looking unconcerned.

"You killed her when you entered her body! I just smashed her shell! ”

"Okay, isn't it just a woman?" Euron patted his brother on the shoulder, "I'll give you another one, it's even more beautiful than the previous one." But this queen, you must help me bring it back. ”

"Who is she?" Victor asked curiously.

"She is the last true dragon bloodline, and people say that she is the most beautiful woman in the world. Silver-blonde hair, eyes like amethysts. My good brother, go to Slave Bay, see her beauty with your own eyes, and bring her back to me. ”

"Why should I go?"

"For duty, for your king's orders." Yu Lun laughed, "It's also for the position of the sea stone." The promise I just made was serious. When I sit on the Iron Throne, I will canonize you King of the Iron Islands. ”

"Good! I'll go! Victorion let go of his hand, his palms covered in blood, "I'll bring this dragon girl back." ”

But it's not for you to be queen. Victor swore in his heart.

You took my wife, and I'm going to take yours too!"

The most beautiful woman in the world, give it to myself!
