The Unsinkable Warship

At the port next to Ten Towers, an island adorned with colorful flags is slowly growing, as if it has come to life.

The island is made up of warships, which are connected by thick chains.

Asha remembered the chains she had seen that day and finally realized that those chains were used to connect the ships together.

"Such a big ship should be able to withstand storms, right?"

A clear voice rang in Asha's ears. Before she could turn her head, a blush crept onto the tips of her ears. Asha turned her head and saw that it was Loras speaking.

"As expected of Jon, to think of such a method!" Loras exclaimed excitedly, looking at the almost black Warship Island. "Ships like these shouldn't be able to withstand any storm."

"Yes, Sir is right, we will definitely be able to defeat Euron," Asha said, but her tone was somewhat cautious, completely unlike the bold female captain she had been before.

The old woman and the young girl beside Asha had a maternal smile on their faces, while the other stared at Loras with his teeth clenched, making a grinding sound.

Ever since they arrived on Harlaw Island, Asha has always found excuses to see Loras.

At first, Loras almost drew his sword against Asha because Euron had once held his mother hostage. However, when he learned that Euron was a demon who did not even spare his own family, he felt some sympathy for him.

The two gradually found common ground, which was discussing how to defeat Euron.

"It's a pity Jon didn't choose me as the vanguard this time, otherwise I would definitely be the first to rush to Pyke!" Loras said, looking at Asha, thinking that riding on such a huge warship and winning would be an unparalleled experience!

"Hmm? Oh! Yes." Asha still had a smile on her face. She was three or four years older than Loras, and she could sense the childishness in Loras, but she was attracted by his clean-cut feeling.

The two of them went on a tour of the "Warship Island," with Asha's entourage following closely behind, afraid that she would leave their sight.

At this time, many soldiers were still carrying ballast stones into the ship's hold, because they did not know how powerful Euron's magic was, so they wanted to increase the ship's stability as much as possible.

Warship Island is not a single, continuous island with all the warships connected together. There are also warships around it for protection and reconnaissance. When a storm comes, they will return to Warship Island, but when Warship Island advances towards Pyke, they will be scattered around Warship Island to increase security.

"Jon has already said that he will not allow any of the old Iron Islands families to continue ruling the island. Have you thought about where you're going after the war ends?" After the initial excitement subsided, Loras asked Asha.

"Is he... concerned about me?" Asha felt her heart beating a little fast, but there was not a trace of lust in the other person's clean brown eyes.

Asha thought for a moment and then said, "I've already spoken with the Duke. After the war, he will allow me to take those who are willing to follow me. I plan to go to Gogossos."

"Gogossos?"

Loras certainly knew about Gogossos; strictly speaking, Gogossos could also be considered Free Cities.

But it is located on the distant southern continent of Sothoryos.

It was a place teeming with poisonous insects and filled with miasma, a complete lawless zone.

On the Sothoryos, there is also a peculiar species called "Brindled Men." Their skin is born with brown and tan stripes. These Brindled Men are very strong, but have low intelligence; they are beings somewhere between beasts and humans.

At the gladiatorial arena in Slaver's Bay, the Brindled Men were trained to fight as gladiators for the public to watch.

"After the war is over, I also want to go see faraway places, even if it's just to see them for Renly." A rare look of melancholy appeared on Loras's face.

"Renly? Renly Baratheon? He... isn't he a man?" Asha instinctively leaned closer, thinking she'd misheard; perhaps Loras was actually referring to Lanlan?

Just then, a knight in a green cloak suddenly appeared beside Loras and told him that Jon was calling everyone together for a pre-battle meeting.

Loras walked ahead, with Asha following behind, her attendants' voices faintly audible.

"Loras doesn't seem interested in women. Who sleeps with whom, him or Renly?"

Hearing the snickers and lewd laughter behind her, Asha whirled around and nonchalantly declared, "What does it matter? It's not like I've never slept with a woman before."

After saying that, he quickly caught up with Loras. Suddenly, an irresistible thought arose in Asha's mind: to take Loras with her to Gogossos.

If she were to have a child with a man in the future, she would hope that her child would have brown hair and beautiful brown eyes.

Soon, they arrived near the port, where there were already hundreds of people. Asha forced her way through them, trying to get as close to Loras as possible.

Not long after, Jon appeared before the group, accompanied by Robert and Sandor. Jon was still wearing the Valyrian steel armor he had taken from Euron, a black cloak, and two longswords at his waist. When he appeared, all the sounds of conversation ceased, and only the crashing of the waves could be heard.

"My lords, this will be our final battle. The Iron Islands' raids on the Sunset Sea will be a thing of the past. The ocean will no longer be a barrier between us, but a bond that connects us! Slay the Drowned God! Eliminate this threat forever!"

"Exterminate the Drowned God! Eliminate this threat forever!"

"Exterminate the Drowned God! Eliminate this threat forever!"

The voices of the crowd were carried by the sea breeze to Pyke; the slogan of slaying gods excited everyone.

Even Asha shouted loudly, though she didn't really believe in the Drowned God; she simply preferred the feeling of being unrestrained.

Therefore, when she echoed Jon's chant, the people around her glanced at her slightly.

After boosting morale, Jon began to arrange the specific battle formation.

Rickard, being experienced and having previously stormed Pyke, will serve as the vanguard when they weather Euron's storm and land on the Iron Islands.

After landing, Randyll Tarly and the brothers Garlan and Loras will be in charge of the left and right flanks of the army, respectively. Once the army on the Iron Islands has been wiped out, they will begin the siege.

They will also be in charge of the siege battles.

All of the above are arrangements made on land; Jon will not forget that his greatest ambition is actually to kill Euron.

Therefore, Paxter will command the fleet to blockade Pyke, and he will be in charge of Martin, the Westerling, Brynden, and Black Walder.

Jon would also personally lead a reserve force and a fleet at the rear of the main army.

He believed that Iron-Linked Ships would be enough to break Euron's storm, and that Pyke was now filled with the old, weak, and disabled, while the 60,000-strong allied army that had gathered at Casterly Rock remained intact.

Just keep a close eye on Euron's movements; leave the rest to others.

Moreover, her current appearance can be described as luxurious, so she doesn't need to worry too much.

After making these arrangements, the colossal beast slowly left the port and moved slowly but steadily toward Pyke.

At this moment in Pyke, Euron sat on Balon's throne in the Kingsmoot Hall, while the hall was empty except for Balon, who stood beside him with a blank and pained expression.

Where exactly did the problem occur?

Euron couldn't understand it. He clearly roamed the seas freely, and every ship that saw his sails fled in panic.

He had even seen Daenerys's dragon, which was only the size of the Hound, but a dragon is a dragon, and it would grow bigger sooner or later.

When he returned to Westeros, he was still dreaming of hatching dragons and ruling the Seven Kingdoms.

"Jon!"

Euron's mind was once again filled with those grey eyes; it could be said that he had been defeated all the way from Highgarden onwards.

"My brother, why is this?" Euron asked Balon. "I clearly possess this power, and since the gods granted me this power, why must they bestow the same gift upon him? Am I merely His plaything?!"

"Euron," Balon, looking at Euron with a pained expression, "Stop now. For the sake of the Greyjoy blood still flowing in your veins, surrender to Jon. At least that will leave some hope for the family. Pick the fastest ship and leave. You have magic; at least we can still be like the Targaryen."

Balon was in the Iron Islands, naturally knew about Daenerys Daenerys, and he believed that Euron, who possessed magic, was no less capable than Dany.

"Escape? Where can I escape to?! How can I escape!" Euron suddenly stood up, grabbed Balon's collar, his face contorted with rage, and his blindfold suddenly fell off, revealing a malevolent red pupil.

For some unknown reason, Euron's black eye suddenly turned blue, his grip loosened, and he suddenly knelt down, pleading repeatedly towards the north.

"I can do it, I can do it, please, please, please give me more time, please give me more time."

Balon looked at his younger brother with a puzzled expression, wondering what was wrong with him. Ever since his brother returned to his side, he had always had that confident look on his face, as if nothing in the world could escape his notice.

Just then, a guard's voice came from outside the door. "Your Majesty, we have spotted the enemy fleet!"

Although Balon had decided to submit to Stannis, those around him still addressed him as His Majesty.

Euron was still pleading, quickly returned to normal. If it weren't for the dust on his clothes, it would have seemed as if nothing had happened.

"They've finally arrived!" He turned to Balon and said, "Come on, let's brothers fight back against the enemy!"
