Chapter 0457 Iron People Ancient Road, Pay Iron Money
Carter Pike!
Asha knew by hearing the name that this guy was an illegitimate child.
The illegitimate children of the Iron Islands all bear the surname Pike. This has something to do with the fact that the Greyjoy family lives on Pike Island.
The Iron Islands have seven main islands, all of which are under the rule of Pike City on Pike Island.
The bastard is surnamed after the name of a place or the name of the most common local thing, for example, the snow can be seen in the summer when the weather is cold in the north, so the bastard takes snow as his surname.
Carter Peck took Asha and her uncle Rodric to Asha's flagship, the Black Wind, and he first gave Asha and himself a comfortable hot bath, and then carried Asha, who was unable to move but more sober, into the captain's room for a lenient *******, and began to live as a husband and wife with Asha.

At the same time, 100 warships from the western border of Lannith Harbor arrived at the Iron Islands.
The Iron Islands are an area that makes up the Seven Kingdoms, located in the Ironmin Bay of the West Sea of Westeros. Prior to the War of Conquest, the Iron Islands were an independent and sovereign state, and all lands west of Westeros were under the rule of the King of the Iron Islands. From present-day Bear Island of the Mormont family, down to the famous Old Town in the south, including the whole of the present-day Westlands and the Riverlands of the Tully family, and most of the territory of the Tyrells in the south, all under the control of the King of the Iron Islands.
The Iron Islands are also well located, located in the northwest sea on the western edge of Westeros, with the Trident River and Neck River to the east, Bear Island and the frozen shores further afield, and the Old Town to the south, and the Bab Mandeb River next to the Shield Islands to the heart of the Tyrells with ease.
The Iron Islands are made up of seven main islands, Pike Island, where the Greyjoys live, and Salt Bluffs, the closest to Pike Island.
Located southwest of Pike Island, Salt Cliff Island is only half a day's flight from Pike Island, and Salt Cliff Island is the smallest of the seven main islands, only one-third the size of Pike Island.
The only nobles here on Salt Cliff Island are the Sucliffe family and the Sandley family.
Donno Sucliff is the leader of Salt Cliff Island, and he leads 300 Iron Warriors of Salt Cliff Island to join Asha's legion.
Salt Cliff Island is barren and inhospitable, and there is nothing left here but salt and stone. The island's inhabitants do not make a living from salt drying and fishing, and they switch identities freely between pirates and the warriors of King Balon's iron fleet.
Will and Robb Stark sent Great Jon Amber to land on Salt Bluff Island with ten ships and five hundred soldiers, and Great Jon was ordered to do only three things, first, to kill all those who dared to resist, second, to burn all the buildings that could be burned and remove all the houses that could be removed, and third, to accept all of the Iron People who were willing to follow the fleet to settle in the North.
The northern frontier is almost the size of the other six countries combined, but the population is too small, and too much land is uninhabited and uncultivated. On the plains and shallow hills where the ancestors were barren, you can't see a village from afar.
The 500 miles of land in the north and the Great Wall of Desperation can accommodate a large number of people.
It took less than half a day for the Great Jon to burn Salt Cliff Island to the ground, and those who should have resisted were killed, and the lord of Salt Cliff Island, the noble Succliff family, took the lead in the rebellion, and more than 50 people of this bloodline and warrior knights were slaughtered on the spot. Seeing this, the nobleman Sandley immediately succumbed, and the bloodline was preserved.
Will and Robb made a beeline for Pike Island with more than seventy warships.
As soon as the battleship arrived, it immediately blockaded King's Harbor on Pike Island. All the merchant ships from the Narrow Sea, Old Town, and the southernmost Midsummer Islands were all blocked in the harbor, Will and Robb landed with a thousand-man army, and the first thing they did was to set fire to the only two-story hotel in King's Harbor, the hotel owner and the guests inside were all arrested, and the merchants let them return to their ships, and the ironmen had only two options, either to die, or to pack up their belongings and follow the legions.
Robb and his army of five hundred men had not yet begun to attack, and a square stone castle on the hill opened its doors and surrendered by itself.
King's Harbor is the home of the Potterly family. Pale green flags hang from the top of the chunky tower, embroidered with the coat of arms of the Potterley family—schools of silverfish on a light green background.
All the knights and guards of the Potterly family followed Asha out to attack the deep forest, and an old butler and the old lady of Potterly were in charge of the business.
Robb gave the order, hundreds of soldiers worked together to pour fire oil into the small castle, Robb personally dropped the first torch and lit the flames.
Garbert Glover, Lord of Deepwood, and Rickard Carstark, Earl of Cahoe, led thirty warships to besiege Pike City by water, while Robb and Will landed from King's Harbor with a thousand-strong army and entered Pike City by land without hurry.
King's Harbor is only half a day's horseback ride from Pike City.
Pike City is surrounded by cliffs on all sides, and under the cliffs is the rough sea, Pike City is a precipitous location, and there is no harbor for mooring ships, but in case King Baron jumps into the sea, in case he has a path to get into the sea, and there happens to be such a small boat, so the battleship first besieges Pike City to be foolproof.
Will and Robb are not in a hurry at all, the army of thousands of people set off from King's Harbor in a hurry, set fire to the village when they see it all the way, and kill those who dare to resist, this style is the so-called 'ancient way' that the iron people have admired for thousands of years: killing others, robbing other people's money and women, this is paying iron money.
Will and Robb are also paying iron money in this way, but they leave a line for those who surrender to have a way out, which is different from the 'ancient road' of the iron people to kill them all.
All the iron people who succumbed to the sword were taken away by the legion, regardless of men, women, old and young, high and low, and treated equally.
The Iron Miners are poor in wealth, but they have boats and good water, so they don't have to worry about being a burden when they leave the Iron Islands.
Will's Burning Flame Banner, House Stark's Icewolf Banner, House Amber's Roaring Giant, House Kastark's White Sun Blackstar Banner, House DeepLimburg's Iron Fist, House Mandalay's White Mermaid Banner...... Every big flag is fluttering in the wind on Pike Island, and it is unstoppable!
Defenseless Pike Island is like an old and sick bandit facing a group of strong, well-trained young soldiers.
As the sun set, Will and Robb arrived at the gates of Pike City with an army of thousands, and the only thing on the walls was a few cowering soldiers, and the yellow sea monster banner of the Greyjoy family rolled alone in the sea breeze.
The Greyjoy family, a pirate family that prevails over hard work. The Iron People, a brutal and ruthless people who have taken the ancient way of paying iron money, will also be forced to pay iron money today: money and life.
Pike Island, Pike City, will be slaughtered by Will and Robb mercilessly: any Iron Folk who does not give in will be paid the Iron Money!
Pay for iron, this is the ancient road of the iron people. It's just that this last time, it was they who were charged with iron money.
Look up at the sky, who the sky spares!
