Chapter 116 The Crow's Eye

"The dead don't die!"

The dexterous long boats were cruising among the huge waves, and they kept shouting excitedly and madly.

"The dead don't die!"

"The dead don't die!"

Under the light of lightning, small boats surrounded like a pack of wolves.

And the "Wolf King" just came to the right side of Qingting Island's flagship Purple Grape, walking side by side with it.

Samwell clearly saw the banner of a golden sea monster flying on the Serenity, and the crew members on the deck were brandishing scimitars and roaring silently

In their open mouths, none of them have tongues!

"The dead will not die, but will rise again, and its power will be stronger!"

cried the only man on the Serenity with a tongue.

His skin is as pale as snow, and his appearance is as handsome as a prince in a fairy tale. His blue right eye is smiling, while his left eye is covered by a pitch-black eyepatch.

Euron "Crow's Eye" Greyjoy!

Samwell immediately recognized the person's identity.

The Greyjoy family is the ruling family of the Iron Islands. The people under their rule call themselves "Ironmen". Both are menial jobs, and only plundering is the most honorable career.

Because of this, the ironmen have always been the most fearsome and ferocious pirates in Westeros.

When the Targaryen family conquered Westeros, the Greyjoy family also bowed their heads to the Iron Throne and restrained the iron people under their rule, forcing them to abandon the "ancient road" of plundering and live a life of farming, fishing, Hard and unremarkable life like mining.

However, the ironborn never gave up their pursuit of the glorious and beautiful "ancient road". The looting gene has always existed in their bodies, and forcible suppression will only accumulate dissatisfaction and lead to rebellion.

During the rule of the Targaryen family, the Iron Islands really set off rebellions many times, but they were suppressed again and again.

After the War of the Reavers, the Greyjoy family surrendered to the new king Robert Baratheon, but only six years later, the Iron Islands could not bear the hard and boring life and rebelled again.

However, this rebellion was also suppressed, and the Iron Islands fell silent again.

Samwell didn't expect that he would meet the ironborn pirates in the narrow sea, and the leader was the craziest and most dangerous "Crow's Eye" Euron in the Greyjoy family!

He remembered that Euron should have been exiled by his elder brother, Baron, the current Patriarch of the Greyjoy family, and then led his men to travel and plunder all over the world.

However, I am afraid that this must be "thanks" to Hobber Redwyne's death.

Euron "Crow's Eye" probably didn't want to attract too much attention, so he didn't dare to plunder on the main route. He just hid in this sea area near the Stone Step Islands and robbed some passing small merchant ships.

Unexpectedly, five ships with the flag of Qingting Island were sent in by themselves.

Although the current Iron Islands are still under suppression, Euron the Crow's Eye, a lunatic exiled by his brother, obviously won't abide by the laws of the Seven Kingdoms.

"whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"

Amid the sound of breaking through the air, spears were thrown by the pirates with the help of the wind.

Samwell squatted decisively, hiding himself behind the side of the boat. There is no way, this black light is blind, he can't see the spear on the opposite side at all.

Afterwards, he heard the sound of spears piercing the hull and the screams of the sailors on board.

"Fight back, fight back!"

This is the voice of Horace commanding the battle.

Unfortunately, the pirates cleverly gained the upper hand. If the soldiers on Qingting Island wanted to fight back, they had to throw spears against the wind or shoot bows and arrows.

But in this way, the power will be greatly reduced.

In addition, the pirate ships are small and flexible, making it difficult to target them.

Seeing that the counterattack could not achieve results, Horace simply ordered the soldiers to stop and wait for the pirates to board the ship before counterattacking.

Samwell took advantage of this time to gather several of his guards.

He only brought fifty guards with him this time, but none of them had experience in naval warfare. In such a storm, there were only a few of them who could climb onto the deck and successfully find him.

It was his first vassal, Knight Lucas Dayne, who performed very well. He obviously had sailing experience, and he could walk on the ground even on a violently shaking ship.

"Master Caesar, you'd better go back to the cabin, I'll guard it outside."

"No, I want to fight side by side with you."

Lucas didn't persuade him anymore, but just handed the oak shield in his hand to Samwell.

Samwell didn't refuse. He didn't expect a battle when he came out just now, so he didn't bring a weapon at all.

However, he has already asked his attendant to go to the room to get the giant sword [Dawn].

"The pirates are on board!"

Lucas suddenly reminded.

Samwell shivered slightly, and then saw the first pirate appear on the side of the ship.

Lucas was the first to charge up with his sword, chopping down the pirate, but the pirate still hooked the climbing rope when he fell, shook a few times in the storm, and started climbing again.

The sharp whistle sounded at the same time, and with it, there was the roar of Horace commanding the battle.

After a while, more and more pirates appeared on the side of the ship.

They wore gray leather armor, held half-moon-shaped scimitars, and a few even held battle axes. They jumped nimbly on the side of the ship and on the deck, as if the strong wind and waves had no effect on them at all.

The sounds of fighting became dense all of a sudden.

Samwell also had to carry his shield to join the battle.

But he didn't just rush forward, but first let himself adapt to the violently shaking and slippery deck, and tried to find his balance.

It wasn't until a blind pirate ran up to Samwell that he swung his shield and smashed it into the opponent's chest.

The pirate's scimitar hit the shield, but he was knocked out of his hand. Before he could cry out in pain, the shield smashed against his chest with great force.

Boom!

The pirate's chest was completely sunken, and blood mixed with internal organs spewed out from his mouth crazily, splashing Samwell all over.

Before Samwell could catch his breath, another pirate rushed over with a tomahawk.

This time he controlled his strength well, first dodged the opponent's slash, and then swung the shield to smash the opponent until he vomited blood and collapsed to the ground.

Snatching the tomahawk from the opponent's hand, Samwell took advantage of the opportunity to make another blow.

Clah

A big wave hit, and the turbulent sea overflowed the deck.

Both sides in the battle were overturned by this huge wave.

Samwell slammed his ax into the side of the ship, trying to stabilize his body.

Looking up again, I saw a vigorous figure turning out of the huge waves. That person stood firmly on the narrow side of the ship, his feet seemed to be nailed to it, and no amount of violent shaking could make him lose his balance.

The strong wind blew up the black cloak behind him, revealing the golden sea monster coat of arms on it.

"Sheep of the Green Land, we have come to pay the iron money! Put down your arms, and I will give you a decent death."

"Crow's Eye" Euron Greyjoy actually boarded the ship too.

Samwell looked at this arrogant figure, licked the corner of his mouth, his eyes narrowed into a narrow slit.
