Compared to the widespread fame of Asha and Dagon, the reputation of the last Sea Dog, Beller Blackteas, was much smaller. In all the stories of the Three Sea Monsters, Sea Dog Beller always appeared as Asha's shadow. He always seemed to appear as a subordinate in various naval battles.
But no one who truly understood the details of these naval battles dared to underestimate Sea Dog Beller, because they knew very well that Sea Dog Beller's naval combat abilities, even if not as good as Asha's, were not far off.
Once, Asha and Beller, in pursuit of a pirate fleet, ventured into the waters of Arbor. The entire Arbor fleet was dispatched to intercept the fleets of the two Sea Monsters.
In this situation, Asha continued to pursue the pirate fleet, while Sea Dog Beller single-handedly blocked the Arbor fleet, suppressing the Arbor fleet, which was far superior in number and scale, in a sea area through entanglement, until Asha finished dealing with the pirates and returned to provide support.
Although most people, when thinking of Summerhall's naval power, first think of the Miracle Fleet that controls the Narrow Sea, those who truly understand naval warfare know that the Three Sea Monsters are Linde Terra's most skilled force in naval combat.
Now, two Sea Monsters, leading hundreds of ships of various sizes, have arrived at the Sunset Sea off the western coast of Westeros, and they have also brought a large bell, like a storm god artifact, sailing while dispelling storms at sea. Such a grand display of power should not only be to show off their strength to the coastal port territories, but probably also for other, greater purposes.
Soon after the Lannisport fishing boat encountered Asha and Beller's fleet, the fleet had already approached Lannisport, and stopped in the outer sea of Lannisport, sending out small boats to enter Lannisport to purchase various supplies.
While anchored, the storm god priest continued to ring the large bell, dispelling the dark clouds in the sky and the storms at sea. This bell sound could not only be heard in Lannisport, but also in Casterly Rock.
Tywin, Kevan, and members of the Tyrell and other families, along with their territorial vassals, all stood on the platform overlooking the entire Lannisport Bay, silently observing the dense array of ships of all sizes covering the sea.
"Wow! It's a good thing these two Sea Monsters don't like plundering ports like their compatriots, otherwise Lannisport would be in trouble." Little Devil Tyrion brought a stool, stood on it, leaned against the wall, looked at the sea, and said in a frivolous tone.
Tywin frowned, turned his head, and said unceremoniously, "You should be inspecting the sewers, not standing here saying these boring things."
Tyrion calmly looked at Tywin and said, "Sorry! Father, you might have forgotten, the matters of the sewers are no longer my responsibility. I am now just an idle person with nothing to do. If I displease you, you can give me some money, and I will disappear from your sight before the money runs out, as if you never had a son like me."
Faced with Tyrion's defiance, Tywin could only snort coldly, not bothering to look at him again.
Kevan, who was standing by, also felt a headache from the relationship between the father and son. To prevent them from arguing in front of their vassals, he immediately interjected, changing the subject, saying, "Why are these two Sea Monsters making such a grand entrance here? Is it Lord Linde's order?"
"Do we even need to guess? A fleet of hundreds of ships sailing here must be for the Iron Islands. Sea Hag Asha Greyjoy should be returning to the Iron Islands to claim the position of Lord of the Iron Islands from her father, Balon Greyjoy." Little Devil Tyrion spoke first, saying, "This is also a good thing for us, after all, under the constraint of the Sea Hag, those pirates of the Iron Islands will behave for a long time."
"Good thing?" Tywin turned to look at his deformed son and said coldly, "You always pride yourself on having a clever mind, but now it seems quite ordinary."
Little Devil Tyrion laughed dismissively, "This isn't a matter of intellect, merely a difference in perspective and mindset between you and me. I don't view Linde Terra as an enemy, so I think this is a good thing, whereas you consistently treat Linde Terra as an enemy, so of course you'll consider this a bad thing."
Tywin sneered, "Foolish, if you don't treat him as an enemy, does that mean he won't treat you as an enemy?"
Little Devil Tyrion calmly said, "My esteemed father, don't forget, the man you consider an enemy, his son will marry your granddaughter in the future. He will become your granddaughter's father, and we will become relatives."
Tywin said nothing more, and had no mood to continue watching there. He turned and left the platform, returning to his study to continue handling the state affairs that had just been interrupted.
And Little Devil Tyrion continued to look at the ships on the sea, a look of envy in his eyes. Then, as if he had made some major decision, he jumped off the stool and scurried with small steps towards the stairs leading down to the ground.
Soon he left Casterly Rock and arrived at Lannisport, then took a small boat and approached Asha's flagship.
On Asha's flagship, the Black Wind, Asha was discussing with Beller how to retake the Iron Islands. In fact, they only needed to deal with four islands: Pyke, Saltcliffe, Old Wyk, and Orkmont.
Harlaw is ruled by the Harlaw family, and Dagmer Cleftjaw is the sole heir of the Harlaw family, the future Lord of Harlaw. Harlaw will not be an enemy of the Three Sea Monsters at all.
Similarly, Blacktyde is also Beller's territory. Although he, as Lord, has not returned to his territory once in all these years, most of the sailors in Beller's fleet come from Blacktyde. Also, because of him, Blacktyde and Bear Island have trade relations and close ties, and will not be hostile to them.
As for the Goodbrother, Sparr, and Merlyn families on Great Wyk, they have, under the influence of Blacktyde, developed a series of trade relations with Bear Island, earning a lot of money using the trade route from Bear Island to White Harbor. They have clearly stated that they will support Asha as Lord of the Iron Islands.
Beller pointed to Orkmont and said, "I can persuade the Orkwood and Tawney families of Orkmont. These two families have had several intermarriages with the Blacktyde family in the past, and have a good relationship with Blacktyde. They can be drawn in as allies."
Asha nodded, and then suddenly thought of something, saying, "I remember that Myra Orkwood, the eldest daughter of the Orkwood family, seems to have a very good relationship with you. You wouldn't be thinking of using marriage to win over the Orkwood family, would you?"
Beller shook his head, reached out and gripped the Sept holy symbol around his neck, and said, "Of course not, I have decided to serve the Seven for life, and will not marry."
Asha was stunned for a moment and asked, "If you don't marry and have children, what about your Blacktyde?"
"Blacktyde?" Beller looked at Asha and said, "Do you think Lord Linde will allow the Iron Islands to continue its current system after it is unified? The Iron Islands will eventually just become another Stepstones. Lord is just a title, and will not have any real power."
Asha fell silent upon hearing this. Although she had already guessed how Lynd would arrange the Iron Islands when he ordered them to go to the Iron Islands and seize the position of Lord of the Iron Islands, and she had no intention of disobeying Lynd's orders, she still felt a bit disheartened.
Just then, a subordinate came to report that a small boat was approaching, and the person on the small boat seemed to be Little Devil Tyrion.
Hearing the subordinate's words, Asha and Beller couldn't help but exchange glances, both with puzzled expressions, wondering why Little Devil Tyrion would come to find them.
