The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 697: Seizing Pike Island, Baron’s dream is shattered!

After two days of rest in Winterfell, Zhang Cheng was pestered by the children to tell him about Middle-earth.
Zhang Cheng didn't want to get too involved in the future of the Stark family. After all, the demise of the Zellingen family had a lot to do with them!

And don’t ever think that because the Stark family is the protagonist, Zhang Cheng must help them. This is impossible!
After all, for a "chaotic neutral", no one is the protagonist, only how much is the value of being alive!
He either has to stir up trouble or have fun. If he chooses neither, then Zhang Cheng can only "be a human being"!

From the perspective of the Zähringen family, their family has gone from being once glorious to being trampled in the mud and almost unable to stand up. Who do they want to take revenge on the most? Without a doubt, it is the Stark family!
Zhang Cheng is now waiting for an opportunity. He wants to tell all the people in Westeros that it was not their family that betrayed Stark, but that Stark himself could not stand up!
The widow looked, and the bright red bricks told everyone what had happened here.

On the Dawn, Jon Snow, as a bastard, also went with the army. After all, it was Eddard who ordered it himself, and Catelyn could not stop it.
Standing on the towering bow, Robb looked around excitedly, unable to imagine that there was such a powerful fleet in the North.

Standing next to Robb, Eddard told the story of how the Zähringen family defeated the Arbor Fleet.

"Father, will the Zähringen family also be loyal to me in the future?"

Looking at Eddard in front of him, Robb was obviously very happy to have such a large fleet.
Hearing Robb's words, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Of course, Robb, when you become the Duke of the Stark family, the Zerlingen family will certainly be loyal to you!"

But looking at Robb, Zhang Cheng had the second half of his sentence to say, which is that Zelingen is loyal to you, and it has nothing to do with me!
Krieg's Death Legion: It doesn't matter if he doesn't kill you or I want to kill you!

Zhang Cheng: See, you can draw inferences from one example!
While the Stark family was visiting the Aurora, Roose Bolton approached Zhang Cheng.

Seeing the other person's serious face, Zhang Cheng asked suspiciously, "What's with your expression? Are you hiding something recently?"

"You still ask me why you sent out your fleet when Balon rebelled. Wouldn't it be better to let more people of the Stark family die?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng suspiciously, Roose Bolton couldn't help but become serious, but he still tried his best to lower his voice.

Hearing Roose Bolton's words, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, "You have a narrow mind. The dead people of the Stark family were all from the North. And do you think that idiot Balon can really defeat the Seven Kingdoms? Even if the Dornish don't send troops, don't we still have Tywin and Stark?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng curiously, Roose Bolton fell silent, because it seemed that it was really impossible to defeat the Seven Kingdoms with just Balon.

Moreover, if Baron had been smart, he should have declared himself king six years ago. Why is he trying to stir up trouble now?
We asked you to rebel back then, but you refused. Now the Targaryens are gone, the Dornish are no longer fighting, and the Tyrells have become obedient, but you jump out again. Aren't you just like Fang Tangjing, jumping back and forth while saying "Hit me, idiot"!
But when Zhang Cheng thought of this scene, he was dumbfounded.

Because this is exactly the same as what Baron did!

Fortunately, he proclaimed himself king. If he had done so in the name of the Targaryen family, it would have been like he was using the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the officials of this dynasty!

Shivering, Zhang Cheng didn't dare to think about how outrageous this scene was.
"So what should we do now? Are we going to just sit there and watch the Stark family grow stronger? You know, he has a pretty good relationship with Robert!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng seriously, Roose Bolton couldn't help but speak.

"Tywin will not watch the Stark family enter the center of power! So, wait and see, there will be more fun to come!"

Looking at Roose Bolton with a smile on his face, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but joke, because the Bolton family and Zerlingen had the same goal, they both wanted to see the Stark family fall.

But the difference is that Zhang Cheng plans to sit aside and eat melon seeds to watch the fun, while the Bolton family plans to roll up their sleeves and join the fun.
Compared with the conflicts between the two families, the Bolton family is the real expert in holding grudges.

You know, the Bolton family was the family with the greatest hope of becoming the guardian of the North back then, but there was no way, the Stark family built the Great Wall in the North and created an 8,000-year-old family in one fell swoop!
This is already a blow to the Bolton family from all aspects.

But the Bolton family refused to admit defeat. Even after thousands of years, they still wanted to regain their position as the guardian of the North.

What is honesty? This is honesty!

Because no matter what the Bolton family's methods are, they really want to be the Guardian of the North!

But the only drawback is that in the past 8,000 years, no one with "brains" has appeared in the Bolton family.
If Zhang Cheng were to come to the Bolton family, it would be a question whether the Targaryen family could attack Westeros from Dragonstone, let alone the Starks!
The fleet led more than 20 galleons and more than 30 clippers all the way to King's Landing.
Arriving at King's Landing after a long absence, Zhang Cheng's first reaction was that he would not leave the ship even if he was beaten to death.
Because no matter who is the king, the environment in Junlin is always capable of "killing" Zhang Cheng.

After a long wait, the heroic Robert who used to hold a war hammer appeared, but now he is a fat man who can't even wear armor.
Looking at Robert in front of him, Zhang Cheng smiled and opened his arms and said, "Zerlingen greets you, Your Majesty!"

"Oh, that's enough, old friend, this is just too disgusting!"

Robert walked forward with a big laugh and patted Zhang Cheng on the shoulder. The two of them looked very happy.
After all, they hadn't seen each other for many years, so Robert asked him where he was going.

And when he heard about the existence of a place like Middle-earth, Robert was also shocked and asked, "Are those warlocks you mentioned beautiful?"

"Never get involved with a warlock, they are not to be trifled with, they are roses with thorns!"

Zhang Cheng smiled as he explained to Robert, but there was a gleam in his eyes because he was wondering, should he send Robert away in advance?
But when he thought of Robert, such an honest fat man, who loved to squander as a king and liked to stay overnight in brothels, and would kill himself sooner or later, Zhang Cheng gave up. After all, he didn't have to do it himself, so why bother!
Robert: Good brother, thank you!
Zhang Cheng: You’re welcome, brother!

The Iron Islands are made up of seven islands, of which Pyke is the main city.

But if they want to capture Pike Island, they must block the reinforcements from other islands.
Even though the belief in the Drowned God is so heroic, the character of the Iron Men is just like that of bandits. They can fight a battle when the wind is favorable, but it is impossible for them to fight to the death!

As the Guardian of the West, Tywin was the first to confront Balon, but due to the lack of warships in the West, the battle was always tepid, and he was even plundered by the Ironborn.
This made Tywin a little angry, but now it's okay, the reinforcements have arrived.
When the fleet that covered the sky and the sun appeared, Baron's good days were over.

"woo woo woo woo!"

The horn sounded, and the sound of gunfire instantly resounded through the sky.
When the fleet in front was blown to pieces, the Ironmen on the Iron Islands were dumbfounded, because is this still a war? Isn't it that everyone approaches first and then shoots arrows at each other? Now you are so far away, how can you shoot me into the sea with one shot?
Looking at the endless stream of troops landing on Pyke Island, Balon felt his scalp tingling at this moment, because his dream of becoming the King of the Iron Islands was about to be gone!
