Take the ride to dominate the game

Chapter 135 United Dorne
In the middle of the night, on the fourth floor of the Burning King Pagoda.

Arthur, Tristan Legge, William Mutton, and Lyman Darry gathered around a small table to discuss matters concerning these companies.

The daytime aristocratic council came to an end. Under the strong advocacy of Claremont Piper and others, some lords agreed to support a Bracken as the king of the river.

Another part of the nobles claimed that the title of "Dragon Bearer" was the guardian of the seven realms and the king of the Andals, the First Men and the Rhoynar, and then marched into King's Landing to regain the Iron Throne.

In this regard, Arthur said that it is better to stabilize first and try to reorganize the river army, and wait until the dragon Alduin grows up.

Since the ancestors invaded the Western Continent, there have been six Hejian Kingdoms established by the Hejian people themselves, namely: Fisher Dynasty, Blackwood Dynasty, Bracken Dynasty, Mudd Dynasty, Fairman Dynasty, Teague Dynasty Wait
Among them, although Blackwood came from the wolf forest area in the north, he became king only after he gained a firm foothold in the riverland, so he was also considered the riverman's own dynasty.

It was Alan Durandon III, the Storm King, who ended the last riverman dynasty. He married the daughter of the lord of Raventree City at the time, and then defeated the last five of the Teague Dynasty at Shuangmou Peak on the north bank of the Red Fork River. king.

The battle is also known as the War of the Six Kings in honor of the end of the Teague dynasty, although several Teague kings only ruled for a few minutes.

Since then, the Riverland has been ruled by others, first the Stormlanders, then the Ironmen of the Iron Islands, and then the Targaryen Dynasty established by Aegon I.

The Stark family in the north also surrendered to the Dragon family, but Robb chose to restore the ancient title of King of the North after Riverrun became independent.

Therefore, Arthur's title of King of the River did not come out of thin air, and there is history to test.

With the support of several Earls including Vance, Piper, and Mallister, as well as the most powerful Marquis Aenys Frey, there is no objection to this point.

It's just that several Dragon Party families had more in-depth ideas, so after the Great Council ended, Arthur personally discussed their demands with these few.

"If you can restore your surname to Targaryen and prepare to take back the Iron Throne, Maidenpool can provide more support." William Mooton's point has always been clear.

According to him, if Arthur's title had always been King of the Rivers, his support for the House of New Bracken was equal to his support for Tully, the King of the North and the Three Rivers.

In the early days of the War of the Five Kings, Maiden Spring City only provided [-] soldiers to help guard the small town ferry on the Trident River. After that, it did not provide any soldiers, money and food to the Fish and Wolves Alliance Army.

"I already have dragons, and Earl William is too stingy." Arthur looked at the timid lord of Maiden Springs.

According to his vision, the Mooton family will have to make a big effort.

Although the territory of Maiden Springs was slashed by Robert, it did not weaken its position as a trading hub in Crab Bay. The taxes the Mootons collected at the port and Maiden Springs were enough to support an Earl's card. up.

Therefore, the number of off-duty soldiers in Maiden Spring City has not decreased with the reduction of the territory, and has remained at around 2000.

Moreover, until now, the war has basically not been affected there, and it is rare for the leaders to flee for refuge.

The current Mooton family, with its financial resources, military strength and potential strength, can squeeze into the top three in the entire riverland.

"If I promise to attack King's Landing City within two years and restore the long string of king numbers guarded by the seven realms, can you all preside over me from now on?"

Arthur gave a more illusory goal.

First of all, after defrauding the soldiers and money and food, who knows what the situation in the mainland will be like in two years?

Looking at this handsome face like the Targaryens, William Mooton nodded in agreement.

"In this case, you will gain the full loyalty of Maidenquan City and the Mooton family."

Lyman Darry, Raymond's son, followed suit with his request:

"Our Darry City and the original territory are also absolute supporters of Targaryen. As long as you restore our territory, a steady stream of Darry City soldiers will join your army."

Arthur thought for a while, and said: "I will restore your title of earl at most. The original territory of Darry City is temporarily owned by the group of small nobles awarded by Robert."

The fiefs of families like Root near the Trident River Ferry were the original territory of Darry City.

This group of people also supported the new Hejian King. If Arthur reduced the fiefdom for no reason, he might slip through his fingers before he could get hold of people's hearts.

Moreover, although the Hejian people's combat effectiveness is stretched, they have extremely high requirements for the monarch.

The Fair Man dynasty in the history of the Riverlands, because the founder Benedick was fair and just, and the world called him "Just" Dick, won the Bracken, Blackwood, two Vances and other families With his support, the Hejian land was unified and the territory of the Hejian Kingdom was expanded to the largest extent, extending to Ningze in the north, Nuquan Town in the east, Golden Tooth City in the west, and Blackwater River in the south.

It is worth mentioning that Duskendale City, Rosby City, Blackwater Estuary and other places in the royal realm were incorporated into the territory of the River Kingdom during the Fairman Dynasty.

With such a role model first, if Arthur did something unfair, a group of families might rebel.

Anyway, there are plenty of kings now, and the nobles have enough allegiance objects.

Lyman Darry was obviously unhappy. He was still a 14-year-old child, and he couldn't hide his anger very well.

Under Arthur's gesture, William Mooton, who had a milder personality, comforted little Darry a few words.

Tristan solved it easily, and he promised that everything in his territory could be handed over to King Hejian.

As long as Arthur helps him take back the castle and territory from the remaining Western soldiers.

At present, most of the Western Territory Army has withdrawn from Xihejian, but there are still 200 soldiers stationed in some of the more important castles.

Luxi City was close to Riverrun City, so it was taken back by the fish and wolf coalition forces, and Liumu City was still in the hands of the Westerners.

"That's not a problem. With the soldiers of the Freys and the Mootons, all the castles across the South River will be taken."

After the decisive battle outside Casterly Rock City, the lion family's main force is only about [-]. They still have to deal with Stannis in King's Landing City, and they are temporarily unable to launch a new round of attack on Hejian.

Although Erlu won the Stormlands, Dragonstone Island, King's Landing City and other sites, but the Riverbend Army also attacked under Storm's End, and Dragonstone Island did not have many resources. The dispute between the party and the queen party made Stannis even more anxious.

Therefore, he has no intention of conquering other "false kings", not to mention that Duskvale City is closer to King's Landing City, and the second deer will attack Cersei and Tommen first if they want to attack.

The problems of the Dragon Party family were largely resolved, and after Arthur let them go, he recruited Aenis Frey, Simon Frey, Merri Frey and others.

He has to deal with this greedy family.

As soon as Innis walked in swaggeringly, he returned to his original honest look when he saw Arthur. After paying a salute, he sat down properly.

The reason why the new Marquess Frey did this was simple. The King of the River was wearing plate armor, and the giant hammer was also at hand.

After asking Podrick to close the door, Arthur was the first to ask, "What's the deal with Rosso and the City of the Golden Tooth?"

According to the news from the raven, the lame Rosso brought a thousand Frey soldiers into the Golden Tooth City with a high profile, and was about to reopen the gold mine.

Olifa, the acting city lord left behind by Arthur, was tied up by his brothers again.

The last time he was kidnapped was because he still wanted to follow the Young Wolf Lord after Robb regretted his marriage.

The bald head stared at the small table without speaking, and Arthur could tell that his peripheral vision was always staring at the giant hammer.

Merry, the old Nine of the Freys, was more honest, and he answered this question.

"Rosso said that the Golden Tooth City has also entered the rule of the Riverlands, and Earl Leo Leford has died, and the members of the Leford family are basically wiped out. Only Lady Alysanne is left in the enemy camp, so according to Inheritance law, his wife Leona Lyford has the right to inherit the Golden Tooth, so..."

Arthur flicked Ennis's bald head hard with his right index finger, causing the place where he was flicked to become red and swollen immediately.

"What is our agreement?"

The Marquis Frey covered his bald head and nervously argued: "Your Majesty, our oath does not include the City of the Golden Tooth, and Rosso's behavior is also in line with the law..."

"According to the law? Don't think that with the oath of protection, you will be completely safe. Gold can be produced in Golden Tooth City, and gold can buy food. Now the Riverland is short of food, and I need food to win the hearts of the people. You If I don't understand the truth of this, I will give all the wealth in the Twins to feed the starving peasants."

Arthur pointed to Innis' nose and shouted.

Stonewall City is his largest direct territory now, but his loyalty is not very high. The territory of Moulin Rouge is too small. Harrenhal belongs to Mrs. He'an in name, and it will belong to Sansa in the future, so he has to consider the direct territory thing.

Coincidentally, Golden Tooth City has no owner now.

So King Hejian wanted to turn the fortress and the nearby gold mines into his own direct territory.

Simon Frey hurriedly smoothed things over, "Your Majesty, we understand the rules. Rosso just helps you garrison the castle and resist the attacks of the Westerners. He has no other ideas."

This was old Walder's seventh son, and his mother was Alyssa of Crakehall, Westland.

Like many people with the blood of Creher, Simon is extremely tall and strong, even compared with his mother's sixth son, Hosting, he is not much different.

Arthur changed his tone in a more soothing tone: "Golden Tooth City will be one of my direct territories in the future. You should give up the idea of ​​taking it there as soon as possible. I will send another person to take over Golden Tooth City. Rosso's men will go east Lines to fight. And you didn't wipe your asses clean, but Black Walder got out."

Black Walder was the great-grandson of Walder the Elder, the grandson of Stevron, and the second son of Ryman Frey.

This is an unmarriageist who likes to applaud his cousins. When the incident happened in the North Castle of Twin Rivers, he was fooling around with his cousins ​​in a certain mill, so he escaped.

After realizing that something was wrong, Black Wald fled on the spot, and now he is roughly in the area between the Green Fork River and the Blue Fork River, and has pulled up a mini army of dozens of people, and is preparing to counterattack the Twins City.

According to the law of succession, he is indeed the legal lord of the Twins, the only remaining eldest son.

"That's a clown. Aegon Bloody has gone after him. To the outside world, we will say that Aegon is a bandit. In fact, he is the killer of His Majesty and our Frey family. Anyway, he loves killing people the most."

This is how Simon introduced his nephew.

Arthur nodded, "He'd better be able to clean it up."

Both parties knew that "Aegon Blood" had another mission to wipe out Blackwood from Raventree City.

The bald-headed Innis said flatteringly: "There is no problem at all, because I offended you on the Golden Tooth City issue, so I will give you a small gift."

"Little gift, what is that?" Arthur asked curiously.

"You will know in two days, and it will be beneficial to your rule anyway." Simon replied.

This Hosting half-brother had his brother's brashness, but not the stupidity.

Also a Foyle to watch out for, Arthur marked secretly.

After thinking for a while, Arthur said the last problem that the Freys need to deal with:
"The food you sell to the people in the north must be at the same market price as usual, and the river crossing fee should also be charged at the usual price, and the extra money you earned before will be refunded."

Robert Glover, Herman Tallhar and others once led [-] soldiers from the north to recover Moat Calim, but because White Harbor was fighting for Hornwood City with Little Skinner, so there were no soldiers from the north. reinforcements.

The three towers of Kalin Bay defend against attacks from the south, west and east.

Although the Ironborn were few in number, the Northern Army had no choice but to station at the south of Calim Bay, waiting for the White Harbor cavalry to come south.

The army was extremely depleted of food, so Herman Tauha and others bought food from the nearest Twin River City.

At that time, Old Wade was still in charge, so he sold grain to northerners at five times the usual price.

Although Greatjon, Maggie Mormont, Owen Norey and others brought a group of northern soldiers home again, and they still had a few carts of gold in their hands, but if the Frey family charged a higher price to cross the river Fees, and to settle the money for high-priced food, the Yankees probably don't have much money left.

"Your Majesty, this is beyond the scope of our agreement." Innis did not explicitly refuse, but he did not want to implement it either.

Arthur thought for a while, and said: "You execute it first, I know that the strength of the Frey family is far more than 6000 soldiers, take some time, let's discuss a new agreement, and then you will provide an army of no less than [-] soldiers , and I will give you the rewards you deserve.”

The City of the Twin Rivers has not been affected by the slightest fluctuation of war, and the territory at the crossing of the river is also fertile, and the Frey family can still squeeze out some soldiers.

"Here, do you want to make it clear first before doing anything?" Inis is very conflicted now. He wants to refuse the request of King Hejian, but he is also afraid that the giant hammer will hit him.

"I will give you an undeniable condition. The military rations and river crossing fees will be dealt with first. I also need to deal with the affairs of King's Landing and Dusken Valley. You should leave first!"

Arthur waved his hand and told these people to leave.

Then Jason Mallister and his son Patrick were called.

The latter got [-] carts of food from the Reach, and took out [-] golden dragons that Arthur kept in High Court.

Although the Rose family has now invested in Tommen and the Lion family, Arthur does not want to take all the remaining Golden Dragons.

If the Duke of Mace refuses to give these golden dragon coins in the future, this is an excellent reason for Gaoting to change its owner.

Many families in the Reach have blood from the original Reach King's gardener family, but the Tyrell family of stewards does not.

Therefore, some nobles in the River Bend have always had ideas about High Court, such as the Florent family in Brightwater City. A certain family governor of his family married the daughter of the last King of the River Bend, so the inheritance of High Court is the highest among all the nobles in the River Bend. Front.

But Aegon I gave the great white castle to the Rose family who gave Highgarden.

This is the factor of instability within the Reach.

If you can dig a few holes in here, maybe you can really dig out the entire corner of the wall.

Strong Earl Jason and his nympho son walked in.

Arthur motioned them both to sit down.

The count observed the etiquette, but his son sat down without hesitation.

This made Jason scold his son, but Arthur waved his hand to show it was okay.

"I called Earl Jason to come because of Dorne."

The owner of Haijiang City stroked his beard and asked puzzledly, "Is there any relationship between our Mallister and Dorne?"

Indeed, these two places are incompatible, one is on the northerly west coast of Westeros, and the other is on the southernmost side.

"It's because it doesn't matter that I send you to Sunspear City and the Garden of Flowing Water."

Arthur thought for a while, and added: "You bring the head of Amory Lodge and the rotten head of the Mountain. These two are the main culprits who killed Princess Elia. This will allow us to obtain Ober Prince Lun's friendship."

The difference between Dorn and the other six realms is that their leader is honored as prince or princess, and the brothers and sisters of the leader share the same title.

Therefore, the younger brother of Prince Doran, the actual leader of Dorne, Oberon the Red Viper also has the title of Prince.

"You brag about my dragon again, just say how fast Alduin has grown. Now he is one meter long and has a wingspan of four or five meters. This will make Prince Doran support us."

Although Dorne has the smallest population in the Seven Kingdoms, the Martell family is also a big help because the people of Dorne are extremely united.

What's more, Targaryen has been in business for hundreds of years, and the relationship with the Martell family is quite good.

These two points alone were not enough for Dorne to send troops to contain the Reach, so Arthur threw out his trump card: "You tell the two princes, if Dorne sends troops to the Reach, I will permanently cede Nightsong City to Dorne." Grace."

The [-] troops from the Reach are outside Storm's End. If there are no accidents, the [-] troops from the Reach will go north in the next period of time. After joining forces with the Lions' army, they will attack Stannis and the Riverside successively. local "rebel" forces.

This gave the Dornish people an opportunity.

And the meaning of Yege City is equivalent to the meaning of Golden Tooth City to Hejian people.

With the Golden Tooth City, the Hejian Land can guard the exit of the mountains, slowing down the attacks of the Westerners in the valley trail.

With Nightsong City, the Dornish people don't have to stick to the Prince's Pass, and they have a geographical advantage. They can attack and retreat against the river bend and the storm.

Earl Jason nodded in agreement after reading the conditions silently.

Patrick's task was much easier. He was sent to take over the Golden Tooth City and let the greedy lame Rosso come to the Eastern Front.

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket and ask for a monthly ticket.
