Chapter 174 Euron is ready to kill Jack.
Although Euron wants to kill Jack and then control Jack's dragon to reach the peak of his life, it does not mean that he has lost his mind.
Now he didn't know how big Jack's dragon was, nor how powerful Jack's men were, and he had not yet firmly sat on the position of King of the Iron Islands.
So he had to stabilize his throne first, eliminate the threats posed by Victarion Greyjoy and Aeron Greyjoy, and not let Asha Greyjoy go either, she had to be captured and sent to Erie's castle.
Thinking of this, Euron came up with a plan in his mind, and then he asked someone to call his younger brother Victarion Greyjoy over.
When Victarion learned that Euron was calling him, he immediately had a bad feeling, but no matter what, Euron is now the King of the Iron Islands.
So Victarion followed Euron's men to the throne room in Pyke, where Euron had obviously been waiting for a long time.
"Brother, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please take a seat." Youlun said with a smile.
Victarion did not let down his guard because of Euron Greyjoy's smile. Instead, alarm bells rang in his heart, and he felt that his brother was up to something bad again.
To be honest, Victarion felt that the young deaths of the brothers in the family were all caused by Euron Greyjoy, but there was no direct evidence.
"What do you want from me, my lord?" Victarion asked quietly.
Looking at his brother who was as strong as an ox, Youlun felt very sorry that he did not kill him at the beginning, but it was not too late now.
"You knew I was marrying Asha Greyjoy to Eli?"
"I know. What's wrong?"
Victarion became even more unhappy and wary of Euron. After all, Asha was still his eldest brother's daughter. How could it be possible for her to marry an 89-year-old man?
In Victarion's opinion, this was clearly an attempt to force Asha away. If Asha accepted her fate, she would lose the qualification to marry other nobles and take back the Iron Islands.
If Asha does not accept her fate, it would be a violation of the will of the King of the Iron Islands and would constitute rebellion. Euron would then be able to continue to control Asha Greyjoy with justification.
"She ran away. She disobeyed the king's order and took a group of her supporters with her. So I need you to bring people to catch her back."
Victarion suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
As expected, Euron continued, "Asha has about a thousand men, no more than a thousand. She has already fled to Deepwood Motte. You take your men and make sure to capture her."
Victarion's face did not look good. He knew that Euron was draining his power. The nobles who supported him were only a little over a thousand people, not much better than Asha.
But at this time, the smile on Euron's face was gone, and he looked stern. As long as Victarion dared to disobey, he would arrest Victarion for disobeying orders.
Victarion obviously knew Euron's plan, so he could only agree, "Okay, I understand. I will take my men to capture Asha right away."
Euron then revealed a smug smile, obviously very satisfied with Victarion's statement.
Soon, Victarion walked out of Pike with a grim look on his face.
After returning to his residence, Victarion immediately called for the noble lords who supported him.
After Euron Greyjoy's request was made known, the lords who supported him immediately called Euron a beast.
Euron is indeed a beast. In fact, for the lords of the Iron Islands, Euron Greyjoy is indeed not a qualified lord or king.
But in the face of interests, the lords of the Iron Islands made different choices. Some chose to support Victarion or Asha, others chose to accept the benefits and fish in troubled waters, and the last part firmly chose Euron Greyjoy.
After all, the gold and gems that Euron Greyjoy took out were not fake.
There is honor and responsibility only when interests are not involved.
"Victarion, he is trying to drain your strength and kill you all. We can't let him do what he wants." Chico said to Victarion seriously.
Victarion was tall and mighty, with the broad chest of a bull and the flat stomach of a boy.
Although his hair has turned gray, he is still a capable commander.
In battle, he wears heavy armor, wields a giant axe, and wears a sea monster helmet. He fights fiercely, but behaves calmly and respects enemies who show courage in battle.
At the same time, he also has great respect for his brother Baron.
This is also the reason why some lords choose to support Victarion. They believe in Victarion's fighting spirit.
Victarion looked at Chico. "Do you have any good ideas?" He looked at Chico expectantly.
Chico is a captain who supports him. Although he is not a lord, he is brought by Victarion because of his quick mind.
Chico thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you know how many people Miss Asha has?"
"I don't know, but there are at most one thousand people, and at least six hundred people."
Chico nodded, a bit of madness on his face. "We can pretend to capture Lady Asha, and then join forces with her to attack the Iron Islands. As long as we succeed in killing Euron, we can even take over his warships and restore the glory of the Iron Fleet!"
"When Euron dies, you can continue to find a suitable person for Asha to marry, and then become the King of the Iron Islands yourself, killing two birds with one stone."
Victarion was immediately excited. He was confident that he could convince Asha to join forces.
Because if Asha doesn't agree, she will be captured and taken back to the Iron Islands sooner or later to marry old man Ally.
Unless he can find a great noble to marry.
But to be honest, Victarion felt that no noble would like wild Asha.
The nobles on the mainland all like delicate women with long hair.
Moreover, the nobles of the continent have an instinctive resistance to the Iron Race, which comes from the Iron Race's years of plundering.
Only a crazy noble would go to the trouble of forming a marriage alliance with Asha to take back the Iron Islands.
So Victarion was very sure that he could make Asha join forces with him to take back the Salt Throne. As long as Euron Greyjoy was killed, he could use Asha's marriage as an excuse.
By then, I can find a good young man to marry Asha Greyjoy, so that I won't have let my eldest brother down.
Victarion couldn't help but be fascinated by the thought of himself sitting on the Salt Throne, and getting rid of the insidious and cunning thug Euron Greyjoy was simply killing three birds with one stone.
"Okay, let's do this. Go and notify our people immediately and have them assemble quickly."
Victarion is now the commander of the Iron Fleet. Although the Iron Fleet suffered heavy losses in Balon's rebellion, it still has nearly two thousand people.
This is different from ordinary longships. It is a real warship. The largest one, the "Invincible Iron Victory", is forty meters long and its speed is not inferior to that of a thirty-meter sailing ship. It is Victarion's mount.
