The majestic dragon boat stands on the cliff.

It is said that this ship was once the vessel of Tyr, the son of Hemdor, and he had made outstanding military achievements. Unfortunately, due to the erosion of time, it can no longer sail across the sea. However, the Tuersek family still preserved this comrade-in-arms of their ancestors and moved it to the cliff closest to the sea on the island of Little Skellige as a memorial.

Each generation of the Tuersek family chiefs would carefully repair the dragon ship and the land around it to preserve the traces of their meritorious service. The druids of the Oak Ring even planted an oak seed in the cabin of the dragon ship at the request of Chief Tuersek. After thousands of years, the oak tree has grown to the height of a tower, and the dragon ship has completely merged with the oak tree, the cliff, Little Skellige Island, and the Tuersek family.

A high platform was built around the dragon boat, and a series of torches, braziers, and a grand bonfire were lit; above the oak tree were hung the shield emblems of the seven major families, with the indigo beast roar long shield of the Tursek family in the center, guarded by the other six major families.

Easter sat on the dragon boat, with his back against a huge oak tree, the howling wind above his head, and the cliffs connected to the waves under his feet, as if he had turned the entire Skellige into his throne.

The previous coronation banquet was interrupted by the ice giants' sudden attack on the Todaloch family. At this moment, the king of the islands finally had his true coronation moment.

Donaar An Sindar stood before the oak tree. He was the most benevolent elder among the seven families and the lord of the Temple of Freya. He had a transcendent status on the island. He and Easter were also closely related by blood, so he was the most suitable person to preside over the coronation ceremony.

Bran still has to avoid suspicion for many reasons.

Lord Dona opened his arms and spoke loudly to the crowd in front of him, as if he was chanting: "Not long ago, the evil Svalblod followers attacked our banquet, causing many warriors from the seven major families to die in the sea. Easter of the Tursek family led the soldiers to wipe out the enemy for us, making up for the lack of our ancestors' achievements."

A remnant of the Svalblod statue stood on the platform, and the huge bonfire was burning it. As Dona praised Easter's achievements, cheers began to be heard from below the platform.

"Misfortunes never come singly. Not long ago, Svalblod's fallen attacked Udvik again, driving the monsters across the island and almost causing the demise of our brothers and family."

When a statue of the evil god was found on the body of the Frost Giant, the matter was completely determined. The riot of the Frost Giant was attributed to the conspiracy of the Svablod sect.

Lord Harold of the Todaroch family led his people under the platform, his eyes full of gratitude and clarity. After the druid's treatment, he has now recovered his spirit, but occasionally he still has some stress reactions similar to post-traumatic stress disorder.

The patriarchs of the other four major families also stood below, and they witnessed Easter ascending the throne at the front of the team.

"Countless warriors died in the disaster, but fortunately all the suffering was ended by one person." Dona waved his cane, "Today, all the sorrow has come to an end; today, thanks to the grace of the Virgin Mary, our ancestors, and all our families, we welcome our new ruler—"

Everyone's eyes moved towards the direction of Dona's staff - in fact, everyone's eyes never moved away from there. In the focus of everyone's eyes, Easter slowly stood up, wearing an iron crown on his head and holding a bronze sword in his hand.

There was no need to give his name. Dona took a step back and came to the edge of the platform. The others also bent their backs and lowered their heads following the elder's action.

"Let us swear allegiance to the new king. This is the choice of the islands, our ancestors, and the gods—"

Shouts and cheers followed, East's name became an inspiring slogan, the warriors raised their weapons high, and the enthusiastic voices drowned out the wind and waves.

Bran showed a satisfied smile in the audience; the madman Lugo crossed his arms and looked unhappy, but he couldn't take his eyes off Easter.

Jutta, the newly appointed Lord of the Dimen Family, quietly moved to Kratz's side and whispered, "Lanen... Why didn't the Duke of Lannister come? As the nephew of His Majesty, he should be present."

Kratz scratched his beard, and the smile on his face became even more uncontrollable.

"Lane will come...but you have to wait a while."

…

Easter stood up from the throne of the dragon boat and opened his arms. Seeing that the king was about to speak, the cheers suddenly died down, and those bright eyes stared straight up.

Easter's face was full of emotion, and his voice was full of determination: "I experienced this scene once more than ten years ago, and many people witnessed me wearing the crown for the second time. I am very grateful that you can continue to support me now."

"There are no secrets in the archipelago. I believe everyone has heard why I am standing here again."

There are no secrets in the archipelago. Someone immediately shouted loudly from under the platform:

"Revenge for the Queen!"

"Death to the Nilfgaardians!"

Cintra's policy of emphasizing military power and swords is in line with the islanders' values. Ester has many fans in Skellige, which makes Calanthe quite popular in Skellige. After Cintra was destroyed and Calanthe died for his country, the intensity of the attacks by the Skellige pirates against the coast of Nilfgaard had already risen by more than one level.

After Easter ascended the throne, the king's personal hatred naturally turned into a national feud.

In addition to the slogan of revenge for Calanthe, there are other slogans mixed in at this moment:

"Revenge for Lord Blood Red!"

Lord Torgeir, nicknamed "Blood Red", the elder of the Tursek family, was not able to survive and was buried deep in the castle by the Nilfgaardian catapult. When they dug him out, even Lann's system was powerless to save him.

The islanders now had one more reason to start a war.

When thinking of this, East could not hide his grief. To him, Thorgil was a strict but kind elder. Most of his skills in the sea were learned from Thorgil when he was young.

"There are no secrets in the Islands. I believe everyone knows what happened in our territory not long ago."

"I want to say: Nilfgaard is a threat, and he will eventually turn his attention to the islands after sweeping across the north; or: We Skellige and Nilfgaard are sworn enemies, and there will be a war between us."

"Those reasons are honorable enough, but—we don't need any of them right now."

"We have only one reason, and that is - glorious revenge!"

The Skelligers are far away from the mainland, and on the island they don't need to consider any politics or the principle of "the lips and the teeth fall together". They are tough by nature and are more willing to act on their own accord. "Revenge" is a more appropriate reason for them than any greater justice.

Although Thorgeir was not as kind as Donar, he was also a respected elder. Moreover, it was only the islanders who robbed the southerners. Now the islanders were actually penetrated by the southerners, and they assassinated a lord of the seven major families and destroyed a castle?

This is a great shame for all Skellige people and a stain on the honor of all islanders!

"Torgir's courage is like a sturdy ship. He has shared his treasures with his subjects countless times when they were penniless. Even the castle of the Emperor of the South could not escape his fate under his bravery."

"But the Nilfgaardians, they have no honor, they brought catapults from the south! The walls fell, and the islanders were buried in them. The sea of ​​rubble swallowed up the warriors, swallowed up our lord and his loyal guards!"

Even the patriarchs of the other six major families could not control their emotions at this moment. No matter how humble and polite they were in normal times, and how generous they were to their subjects, their blood would boil like waves when faced with what the Nilfgaards had done.

"Send troops to Nilfgaard!"

Madman Lugo and Kratz shouted together, raising their weapons. The two feuding families finally had their first common goal.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound was heard, and there seemed to be a slight earthquake on the cliff. The excited islanders suddenly choked, and the crowd panicked for a while. Some people clenched their weapons, but then they showed expressions of excitement and expectation.

The Islands have no secrets.

The continuous rumbling sound suddenly stopped, and then a bright emerald sun suddenly appeared ten steps away from East. The light was so dazzling that the islanders who were watching could not help but raise their arms to cover their eyes.

But they knew what was about to happen and didn't want to miss the scene, so they tried their best to keep their eyes open and even shed tears.

The bright spot taller than the oak tree slowly went out, and a bluish-white giant like a sculpture appeared before everyone's eyes.

His face was ferocious, but his expression was solemn. Every muscle in his body was as sharp as a rock, and every breath he took was like the sound of waves rolling in everyone's ears.

Lord Harold and the rest of the Todaloch family reflexively took a step back.

But then everyone saw the blond knight standing on the giant's shoulders.

They saw the ice giant bend down towards his king, lower his head, and kneel on one knee. Then the blond knight jumped down from the ice giant's shoulder. The shoulder was still a floor high from the ground, but judging by the blond knight's movements, it seemed like just a small step.

There are no secrets in the archipelago. Everyone knows that after the new king, Easter, wiped out the Svalblod sect, he led a team of less than 100 people into the mountains to fight against the ice giants in order to save the Todaloch family. The new king's nephew, Duke Lannister, led his demon hunters and played a crucial role.

Not only did they defeat the Frost Giant, they even tamed it!

What an honor! Throughout the history of the archipelago, no ancestor has ever accomplished such a feat!

Although it was the Duke of Lannister who tamed the Frost Giant, the Duke of Lannister was the nephew of the King of Eastbourne, and the glory of the Duke of Lannister was also the honor of the King of Eastbourne.

Look, the monster that has wreaked havoc in the poetry of the archipelago for thousands of years is now bowing its head, bending its knees, and saluting the new king of the archipelago!

"My King, Easter!"

Even a tsunami could not suppress the islanders' enthusiastic atmosphere at this moment.

Lann jumped off the ice giant's shoulder, saluted slightly to Easter, then turned around and signaled the ice giant to open his palm, and pulled out a Nilfgaard officer wearing high-ranking officer black armor.

He was cleaned up and his armor was polished to a shine, but his face was terrified and his spirit was broken, and he could no longer utter a word.

Seeing the Nilfgaardians appear, the islanders' shouts began to be filled with anger. If they hadn't taken into account that Easter and Lann were above them, they would have started spitting and throwing axes at them.

Lane held the officer in front of East in an executioner's pose, facing the islander, then stepped back to create some distance.

"In the name of the King of Skellige, I sentence the criminal to be beheaded. His head will be thrown into the mountains, his body will be thrown into the sea, and his soul will never be able to return to the mainland. The criminal will forever wander in this dead place that cannot be reached by the black sun until the arrival of the Last Age." Easter raised his weapon high, "And the war between Skellige and Nilfgaard begins from now on!"

Without saying a single word to the prisoner, the knife flashed and blood gushed out.

The head split from the body, and the islanders watched the scene with wide eyes, shouting out their most passionate response from the depths of their blood: "My King, Easter!"

Easter held the head high up: "Hang him on the bow of our ship, strip off his armor and tie it to our shield. When we attack Nilfgaard, I will let all the southerners see their mutilated black sun symbol!"

"My King, Easter!!!"

…

There are not many reasons to mobilize soldiers across the country to send troops, let alone two at once.

In order to support Udvik Island, soldiers from other families gathered together. There was no need to disband at this moment. They continued to train on the spot, while increasing logistics and food supplies, preparing to sail to support Cintra.

In this heated atmosphere, Lann even suspected that even without Cintra, the Skellige people would sharpen their knives and attack Nilfgaard directly.

"The crowd is excited, morale is high, and the military spirit is mobilized." Looking at the tattered Black Sun Armor hanging above East's car, Lann couldn't help but sigh.

But before leaving Skellige, Lann still had a few things to finish.

Fetov opened the portal, stepped into it, and when he came out he had returned to the Oak Land.

Then, bright emerald spots appeared around him.

Fetov watched with admiration as Lann's figure emerged. No matter how many times he saw this novel magic, he would never get tired of it. He even wanted to discuss with Lann about an academic analysis of this magical ability.

Unfortunately, he understood that the young man now had more important things to do.

After Lann got used to the surrounding environment, Fetov pointed to a wooden house nearby and said, "He is inside. He is a respectable warrior, but unfortunately he has fallen into a deep sleep. Go wake him up - Lann."

"Thank you and excuse me for your trouble." Lan nodded gratefully to Fetov, turned around and opened the door.

A man with a body as big as a bear lay on the oak bed, his upper body covered with various knife wounds, burns, claw marks, and teeth marks, with large scars within small scars and small scars within large scars.

He was breathing deeply and powerfully, and when he heard someone coming in, he opened his amber vertical pupils vigilantly.

"Ged." Lan asked with concern, "How do you feel now?"
