The journey of film and television world is endless

Then a soldier came to report that Ser Grover Yronwood of the Kingsguard, whom Robert had sent out earlier, had his head smashed by a stone thrown from a trebuchet while attacking Ironwood, another castle. Robert cursed incessantly in anger, "What a waste! How could Cersei recommend such a useless fellow to serve in the Kingsguard?"

Just then, countless burning stones and pieces of wood rained down on the nearby fortresses. A burning log landed right near the main keep's tower. Sparks flew directly towards Balon, but his brother Urgon reacted quickly and pushed him down. Even so, both of their hair and beards were singed.

While the Royal army was clearing out the remaining soldiers and looting the city, Liu Yuan had been silently directing his men to reassemble the trebuchets. The area here was open, with a clear view of almost all the keeps and towers within Pyke. The father and sons each took charge of four trebuchets, casually picking their targets. As for ammunition, they just took it from the side; there were plenty of rubble stones from the walls.

The trebuchets positioned on the fortresses couldn't reach this far due to the angle, infuriating Balon. Robert, seeing this, wasn't worried and found a relatively safe place to watch the show. He said to the Kingsguard beside him, "Ser Boros Blount, go tell Lord Adrian that I am very pleased with House Celtigar's performance. I'll credit him with the greatest contribution in this battle. Tell him to smash them hard and burn these Greyjoy rats to death!"

Although the twelve heavy trebuchets weren't numerous, they maintained a continuous barrage by firing in batches. Soon, a tower in front of the Bloody Keep finally collapsed under the constant bombardment of stones. The towering structure, which had stood against wind and rain for countless years, crashed heavily onto the rocks. The field of fire became even more open, and boulders continued to strike other buildings. Accompanied by waves of tremors, it struck fear into the hearts of the Greyjoy family.

Finally, a stone brick that was clearly a battlement section heavily slammed into the windows of the main keep's hall. Countless dust and rubble fell into the hall, even covering the Seastone Chair. Balon Greyjoy said helplessly and dejectedly, "It's over, all is over. The Greyjoy family's hope of rising and the Iron Islands' glory, all are finished! Euron, go! Raise the white flag, we surrender."

Soon, white flags were raised on all three fortresses, signaling that the Greyjoy family had given up resistance and surrendered to Robert. The King's army occupied Pyke, symbolizing the victory of this punitive war!

Balon Greyjoy and his brothers, stripped to the waist and holding their swords in both hands, slowly walked across the stone bridge. Behind him were all the Greyjoy family's male members, including his young brothers Aeron and Robin; and his only living son, Theon Greyjoy, who was only nine years old; and his daughter Asha Greyjoy.

A lot of people came, and soon they arrived not far from Robert. Liu Yuan raised his hand, and the soldiers in the front row raised their crossbows and aimed at them. Balon was also a smart man, and immediately ordered his clansmen to kneel on the spot. Only he himself lowered his head, holding his sword, and slowly walked forward, then knelt before Robert. He lowered his head and said, "Balon Greyjoy, Lord of the Iron Islands, on behalf of all Ironborn, pledges allegiance to His Majesty Robert Baratheon, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms. The entire Iron Islands will be your loyal subjects, and I hope His Majesty the King can forgive the ignorance of those who offended you before. I am willing to accept your punishment!" After saying that, he offered his sword and driftwood crown.

The war was over, and the submission of the Iron Islands satisfied Robert's vanity of conquest. He accepted the sword representing Balon's surrender, but crushed the driftwood crown under his foot. He announced loudly, "From now on, the Iron Islands have no king! Only a governor, Balon Greyjoy, your family will continue to guard the Iron Islands for me." This battle was called the Greyjoy Rebellion, and the consequence was that Balon was forced to swear allegiance to the Iron Throne again. After this battle, the Iron Islands lost their longship fleet. They also lost tens of thousands of young adults, and the prosperous towns on the islands were basically looted. Without a major opportunity, in the next twenty years, the Ironborn have lost their threat to the mainland.

Next was the discussion of how to deal with the Iron Islands. Although the lords on each island had been looted, they were still responsible for bearing the military expenses of this expedition as compensation.

As for the Lannister family, who suffered the most losses, they really couldn't squeeze much oil from the Iron Islands. So, an agreement was signed to provide iron ore to the Westerlands at 30% of the market price for 20 years. Kevan Lannister signed the agreement as the representative of the Westerlands.

At the same time, the great lords on each island would send hostages to various places, including Theon Greyjoy, who was less than ten years old. He would be sent to Winterfell as a ward of House Stark.

King Robert, who was in high spirits, rewarded those who had made meritorious contributions in this battle on the ruins of Pyke. House Celtigar was credited with the greatest contribution in this battle, and both Baelor and Liu Yuan were personally knighted by King Robert.

Also knighted were Jorah Mormont of Bear Island and Jory Cassel, whose right hand was cut off. Thoros of Myr refused the knighthood due to his faith and identity (a missionary who came across the sea to make the Mad King Aerys II believe in the Lord of Light). Robert appointed him as a royal advisor to serve by his side.

King Robert Baratheon prepared to hold a tournament in Lannisport to celebrate the victory. However, this one was held in a hurry and was scheduled for half a month later. Most of the participants were generals from the Royal army.

Some families close to here sent their female relatives to Lannisport as quickly as possible. Among them, Earl Leyton Hightower was the most active. He took his children by boat, including his youngest daughter, Lynesse Hightower.

Liu Yuan kept staring at her, not for anything else, but because Lynesse looked so much like Eva Green, a female star he knew in his previous life, especially her smooth golden hair. (The same age as the author, the author likes her very much) Baelor bumped him with his shoulder and teased, "Oh! What is our little Garon looking at? Which beautiful lady is it? Tsk tsk, what a beautiful girl! The white tower sigil is the Hightower family's, do you know them?"

Liu Yuan pushed him away, and said in disgust, "Didn't I tell you before, don't get so close to me if you haven't showered. I've never seen that girl before, she should be Earl Leyton's daughter."

Baelor sniffed his clothes and joked, "There's no strange smell! Let's talk about you, are you interested in that girl? What about I go back and ask my father to propose marriage to the Hightower family?"

Liu Yuan rolled his eyes at him: "Not at all, I don't have any interest in this regard right now. I found that your topic lately can't be separated from women, how is it, do you miss your newlywed wife?"

Baelor's old face turned red: "Why are you dragging me into this, even if you are not old enough, you can set up a marriage contract first!" He was told by Liu Yuan, everyone understands the little things between newlyweds.

Liu Yuan said: "I am not interested in these things in the short term, I am thinking about going to the fief to take a look."
