#65 - Chapter 28: Pike Island Attack and Defense (I)
Over there, Robert's loud voice rang out again: "Everyone, please be quiet! Today, we gather here to celebrate the victory of the Fair Isle naval battle! In the valiant battle of the combined fleet, the longship fleet of the Iron Islands was completely annihilated. Let us raise our glasses to the fearless naval soldiers!" The generals present raised their glasses and cheered!
Robert drained his cup, and then said: "The scum on the Iron Islands have lost their precious fleet. Like a woman lifting her skirt, they are at your mercy."
"Haha! Hahahaha..." Everyone present burst into laughter. Robert's words were crude, but they were very effective in boosting morale.
He continued: "The navy has proven their bravery, so now it's time for my fearless knights and powerful warriors to show their stuff! Starting tomorrow, everyone boards the ships and takes the Iron Islands for me! Kill all those who dare to rebel, and make them pay for their actions!"
"Roar! Roar!"
"Kill!"
"Long live the King!"

The victory celebration last night was very successful, and everyone's emotions were high. However, the army did not set off as the king said. The Royal Navy had sailed around most of Westeros and then immediately engaged in a fierce naval battle, so they needed to rest.
At this time, the Iron Islands had lost more than 80% of their ships, so solving them was only a matter of time and there was no need to rush. Therefore, Robert sent the well-rested Hightower fleet and the Reach fleet to Seagard to pick up the Northern and Riverlands armies.
Earl Adrian was riding high at this time. He had been praised by the king again. Robert had him lead the Seaworth warriors to accompany the expedition and attack Pyke Island with Eddard Stark. This was an honor and also a recognition of the Seaworth family's strength.
Liu Yuan accompanied him all the way to the allied forces camp outside Casterly Rock, and walked into the independent camp of the Morningstar Guard. Adrian was attracted by the sight in the camp: neat and uniform tents, fully armed guards, and those soldiers who were working hard to train. The Earl had experienced many large and small wars, and he could see that these were extremely excellent soldiers. He asked, "Garon, your soldiers are very good! Your armed force was only formed two years ago, right! How did you train them in such a short period of time?"
In order to divert his attention, Liu Yuan asked, "It's nothing, just hired with money. You seem to be in a good mood today! Did something good happen?"
Adrian was indeed drawn over by him, and he said with a smile: "His Majesty has spoken to me. After this war is judged, he intends to let me take a position in King's Landing. I should join the Small Council, but the specific position has not been said yet."
So he's going to be an official! Of course, Liu Yuan had to support him: "Then congratulations to you. The family hasn't held a position in the Small Council for more than a hundred years. The current vacancies in the kingdom are the Master of Laws and the Master of Coin." The two chatted and came to Liu Yuan's tent. Liu Yuan dragged out two large metal boxes from under the bed.
Then, in Adrian's suspicious gaze, he opened it. Inside were two large crabs full of metallic texture. One was dark red and the other was azure blue. Adrian was confused and didn't understand what he was going to do.
Liu Yuan smiled and walked forward, putting a crab claw on his arm, and then showed it to him. It turned out to be a bracer. This was modified by Liu Yuan according to the Cancer Gold Cloth, but it was much more refined than the one sold to Tywin. Some parts used the craftsmanship of Chinese armor, such as the mountain pattern armor leaves and the breastplate design of the Ming Guang armor.
Adrian couldn't take his eyes off it immediately. Liu Yuan also discovered that the lords on the continent of Westeros were a bit of a show-off. They simply couldn't refuse this kind of thing that could represent family characteristics and highlight individuality. Liu Yuan put it on while explaining and demonstrating to Adrian.
After putting it on, Adrian walked back and forth in the tent, and the smile on his face never faded. Liu Yuan had taken off the azure armor and quickly pieced it into the shape of a crab. Adrian asked: "This one is for Barristan? You are really considerate. Garon, I have neglected you these years, but you must understand that I am the head of the family, and it is my mission to maintain the family's heritage."
Liu Yuan nodded: "I can understand. According to the current development, I will soon create a new family. I will maintain a good relationship with Barristan."
Adrian showed a gratified smile, and suddenly he thought: "Barristan and I both have armor, so what about you? Why don't you leave one set behind!" He said with some reluctance.
Liu Yuan spread his hands and said: "No need, I'm already prepared." After speaking, he came to the cabinet in front of the window. After opening it, a dazzling golden light flashed. A golden crab was inside, even more gorgeous than the two crab armors outside.

A few days later, Robert's army, without any worries, began to land on the Iron Islands.
The Northern and Riverlands allied forces, in cooperation with the Reach fleet, captured Harlaw Island. Although it was not the largest island in the Iron Islands, it was the richest and most densely populated.
At the same time, Harlaw Island is also the only horse-producing area in the Iron Islands, producing hairy Harlaw ponies. This is also the fief of the Harlaw family. It is only a day's voyage from Harlaw Island to Pyke Island. Lord Rodrik Harlaw of the Harlaw family surrendered to Eddard Stark after only a symbolic resistance.
Stannis, in the name of the king, led his troops to conquer Great Wyk. At the same time, Ser Barristan Selmy led the Westerlands and Reach lords' armed forces to attack Old Wyk. In just five days, Saltcliffe, Blacktyde, and Oakenshield fell one after another, and most families chose to surrender. As for those who dared to resist, their families were all raided and exterminated by the punitive expedition. At this time, except for Lonely Light Island, which was isolated overseas, only Balon Greyjoy's lair, Pyke Island, remained.
Of course, Robert would not let the final battle go to others. He invited his good buddy, Eddard Stark, and his 1,500 Northern warriors. He personally led 2,000 Royal Guards and 800 Seaworth warriors.
The long-range weapons on the Royal Navy ships were mainly trebuchets. They bombarded Lordsport, smashing the port's defense facilities to pieces. Lordsport was the residence of the Botley family and the largest town on Pyke Island, located near a cliff covered with pine trees. The small castle of the Botley family in Lordsport became the main target of the fleet, and more than half of the attacks were directed there. The main body of Botley Castle was built of wood and fences, and it was already burning with raging fire before the punitive expedition landed.
