The Battle of the Camps was a huge success and Jaime Lannisters army was completely destroyed. The 2000 spearmen and bowmen who tried fleeing were all slaughtered without mercy. The Riverlords were all aided in reclaiming their lands and seats and Lannister men were butchered without mercy. Stone Hedge was magically repaired by Harry, who was magically restoring a lot of places and winning good will within the Riverlands.

Robb had also made a huge mistake in trusting Theon to convince his father Balon into aiding them. The Iron Fleet wasn't needed, they could make common cause with Renly or Stannis and take King's Landing or they could take it alone with superior strategy. Robb refused to listen and Harry activated his contingencies to compensate for his brothers stupidity. Added to that, Joffrey ordered King Robert's bastards be killed and destroyed even more of his support.

But it was the Greyjoy's that they were spying upon, to Robb's disapproval.

"No man gives me a crown. I pay the iron price. I will take my crown." Balon threw the letter in the fire. "That is who I am. That is who we have always been."

"You won't stand a chance against the Lannisters on your own." Theon said.

"Who said anything about the Lannisters?" Balon replied, and the Northerners spying on them looked to Robb in concern. Robb was feeling extremely stupid right now. Trusting Theon had proven to be a mistake.

"The good news is that the Iron Fleet will be burned by my contingencies and then I'll pay the Greyjoy's a visit and absorb the Iron Islands into the Kingdom of the North... by marriage if I have too. Yara isn't that bad looking after all. The bad news is that I'll be revealing a secret weapon of mine." Everyone looked relieved about that.

Robb was later heartbroken when Theon joined the Ironborns attack.

Before Harry could kill some Ironborn, he had to participate in the Battle of Oxcross.

The green boys were unaware and there were no sentries posted due to Stafford Lannister's arrogance.

It was a massacre of epic proportions and Harry left soon afterward to deal with the Ironborn.

When the Ironborn arrived, they were met by seven dragons and a floating Hadrian Stark with storms brewing behind him. The ironborn ships were quickly set upon by Harry's dragons, lightning, fire, and blasting curses, but Theon and Yara were spared as planned.

Once the ironborn ships were burned and destroyed and all ironborn except Yara and Theon were killed, Harry teleported them into Balon Greyjoy's throne room.

"Balon Greyjoy, I've come to accept your surrender," Harry said coldly.

"Kill him!" Balon said to his guards.

Harry calmly killed them all with lightning and then lifted Balon from his throne and forced him to kneel. Harry placed Balon under the Cruciatus Curse for several seconds. "Still refuse?" Harry disintegrated a stubborn Balon, forcing his children to watch his death.

"Yara Greyjoy," Harry began. "You just took your fathers place, with Theon being unworthy. Swear oaths of fealty to House Stark... now." Yara quickly did so, but she was unaware of Harry enforcing it with his magic. "Good, I've used magic to make the oath unbreakable. Now, summon your vassals. I'll be binding the commoners until they all arrive." Yara had no choice but to obey.
