Chapter 104 The Battle of the Sea Frontier City

Oberyn's voice fell and everyone present could understand.

Now Andalos does not have enough strength to challenge the powerful alliance formed by the Wolf Deer Osprey.

Targaryen had lost the war with the support of a large number of nobles when he was still sitting on the Iron Throne, let alone now.

The combined forces of the North, Stormlands, Riverlands, and Valleys overthrew Targaryen's rule, and now Robert Baratheon sits on the Iron Throne is only as strong as he was six years ago.

And the Targaryens were far from the beginning of the war.

Therefore, these various reasons are like a mirror in everyone's mind, and now at best they are just taking advantage of the iron archipelago rebellion to find a little trouble for the usurper, so that he can't finish the rebellion so smoothly.

Then, everyone's eyes were focused on Viserys again.

After everyone's opinion was published, it was up to Viserys to make the final call on the matter.

The little king is different from the situation where he was trembling and walking on thin ice. Now he has actually held most of the power in his hands.

"Bring me a map."

After some thought, Viserys asked a guard to bring the map and spread it out on the table.

Then his eyes fell on the direction of the Iron Islands and Lannisport. This was the first battle after the Iron Islands rebellion, and then his eyes fell on the sea border city located in the riverland.

Although the western border is rich, it is mostly fortified cities, and the hills and terrain are complex and not suitable for the ironmen to plunder.

The Haijiang City in the Tiemen Bay has been a castle and town built to resist the ironmen since ancient times. Behind the Haijiang City is the fertile and flat river land.

Like the one-time king of the Iron Islands, House Hall's "Iron Hand" Harwin took the lands of the Riverlands from Alek Durandon, then Lord of the Storms.

What he relied on was to bypass Haijiang City, land at a place forty miles south of Haijiang City, and then lead the Iron Seeds to carry the longboats on their shoulders, walk to the Blue Fork River, and then take a boat to start looting along the river.

Therefore, if the Iron Islands want to quickly open up the situation in this war and restore the former territory of the Iron Kingdom, they must first conquer the sea frontier city.

As long as the Haijiang City can be conquered, then everything will become much smoother.

"The Iron Seeds' goal should be here next."

"As long as the Haijiang City is conquered, the Iron Islands will still have room to deal with this war."

"That's when we have the opportunity to directly intervene in this war."

Viserys bit his finger thoughtfully, and then the finger of the other hand landed on the location of the sea frontier city on the map.

And Prince Oberyn, who was leaning on the chair, glanced at Viserys unexpectedly. He didn't expect Viserys to be the same as what he thought.

"That's it."

In the end Viserys, after some deliberation, resisted the urge to rush into Westeros now to challenge the Iron Throne.

"It's a losing battle, and we don't need to get too involved."

Everyone in the conference room nodded slightly, except for Sir William, no one thought that Greyjoy's rebellion would be successful.

The soil of the Iron Islands is poor and rocky, and the Ironborn have no cattle or horses to farm.

The only mineral resources on the island are cheap iron ore, and the resources are not as rich as those in the Western Region, so the iron people have been relying on looting since ancient times.

Therefore, it is such a place. First, there are not enough resources and supplies, and second, there are not enough soldiers to consume. How can it beat the Iron Throne, which is far superior in material supply and number of soldiers?

While this is indeed a good opportunity, the involvement of the Targaryen fleet can cause a lot of trouble for the usurpers, but that's all, it's not enough to shake Robert's rule.

At the same time, Viserys didn't want to irritate the king too much, lest the other party go crazy and lead his knights to swim across the narrow sea to beat him even if they were swimming.

After all, right now, he still has to focus on development and accumulate his own strength in a low-key manner. Although unlikely, it's better to make Robert Baratheon feel comfortable with the status quo.

Based on information gathered by the Maester, Viserys learned that Prince Joffrey in the Red Keep had passed his third naming day.

And Queen Cersei Lannister is now pregnant again, and her second child may be born next year.

Such a large thunder had long been buried under the Iron Throne's buttocks, and Viserys only had to wait quietly for the thunder to explode, as the Baratheon dynasty fell apart.

So he was not in a hurry to get involved in the rebellion of the Iron Islands, so as not to lose his troops and overly stimulate King Robert, causing the other party to feel threatened and try his best to manage it.

However, the rebellion of the Iron Islands was just right, King Balon directly took away King Robert's hatred, and Viserys had a lot of respite.

"Then, let's seize the opportunity that Balon Greyjoy has created for us."

Viserys fixed his gaze on the map around Andalos, and then his fingers fell on the mountains east of the Upper Lorne River and an ancient road leading to Loras Bay.

This is an ancient settlement of the Loyna people.

The sudden outbreak of the rebel war in the Iron Islands was beyond everyone's expectations.

However, the Iron Throne responded very quickly. When called by the king, the knights began to assemble quickly.

However, before they could gather together, the Iron Islands' attack came like a torrential rain and a gust of wind.

This set of punches directly thumped the brains of the wily Duke of Casterly Rock City. He had no idea that his neighbors on the sea were so ignorant of martial arts.

The fire in Lannis Harbor had not completely dissipated, and then countless small longboats driven by ironmen came from the sea.

Landing from various coasts, they started burning, killing and plundering in the western border without distinction, and the land of the western border was covered with gunpowder for a while.

And the other side.

Because of this victory in Lannisport, there is no other sea power on the seas of Ironman Bay.

The Iron Fleet can freely attack the strategic location of Haijiang City. It is the only port from the Riverland to the Sunset Sea, and it is the only place for the ironmen to enter the rich Riverland to burn, kill and snatch.

And King Balon, as expected by many people, including Viserys, sent troops to attack Haijiang City, and Haijiang City was ready this time.

The ancient bronze bell on the top of the city rang for the first time in three hundred years.

Rodrik Greyjoy, the eldest son of King Baron of the Iron Islands, led the ironmen to attack Sea Frontier City, and Earl Jason Melister, who had already prepared Sea Frontier City, also led his army to resist stubbornly.

A fierce battle broke out between the two sides under the city walls.

In the end, the heroic Earl Jason killed Roderick Greyjoy, the 'Prince' of the Iron Islands, in the melee.

The ironborn were in disarray, and then fled back to the sea.
