Chapter 139 Donne
Dorne, Sunspear.

Similar to the Red Castle, the family castle of the Namelos Martell family is also surrounded by the sea on three sides. It is located at the easternmost end of a small sandstone peninsula, and its overall color is yellowish brown.

Earl Jason Mallister and his attendants, who had been drifting at sea for a month, passed through the triple gates and entered the innermost Old Palace, led by Martell spearmen in cloth armor.

After the guides were replaced by old palace guards with scimitars on their waists, Earl Jason and the others were taken to the throne room in the Tower of the Sun.

Even though it was late autumn, the weather in Dorne was still hot, and after only walking under the sun for more than ten minutes, the strong Haijiang City lord was already sweating finely on his forehead.

But Jason noticed that whether it was the Dornish civilians in Shadow City to the east or the soldiers in yellow cloth armor, their foreheads and the back of their heads were all wrapped in turbans.

"Aren't you hot with this turban and robe?" Earl Jason asked the waiter who was moving the chair for him.

The waiter put the chair on the ground and did not answer.

"Heat is second, and exposure to the sun is what kills people." A hearty voice sounded from outside the door, and then a tall, thin man with brown hair and black eyes walked in with a melancholy expression.

So Jason, whose buttocks had just touched the chair, stood up again, bowed and saluted, and said, "I've seen Prince Oberon."

The lord of Dorne, Prince Doran, could not stand for a long time because of gout, and his health was not good. Now he was recuperating in the water garden three leagues from Sunspear City. Dorne's daily work was handed over to his brother Oberon the Red Viper.

"Sit down, the journey must have worn you out, Lord Mallister."

The brisk Red Viper walked up to the high platform and dropped its butt into the chair with the golden gun logo on the back.

There are two chairs on the high platform. The backs of the chairs are golden guns and sunburst patterns, representing the Martell family and the Rhoynar people.

Jason, who sat down again, said bluntly, "The situation is very pessimistic, so I won't be polite. Arthur Bracken, King of the Rivers, thinks..."

He stated Arthur's requirements and conditions in one go, and asked the attendant to open the box containing the two heads, and handed it to the attendant in Sunspear City.

The Red Viper did not respond to the Hejian people's request to send troops. He was attracted by the foul-smelling head of the Mountain.

Since the pickling time was too late, Greg Clegane's big head was already completely rotted, but Amory Lodge's head was well preserved, and his facial features could be clearly identified.

"I've seen the portrait of Wild Dog Rocky, there is nothing wrong with this head, but how to prove that the other one is the head of the Devil's Mountain?" Red Viper asked.

Jason wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Is there a head as big as this in the world?"

The size of the Magic Mountain is the largest in the entire Western Continent. Among normal humans, it is really difficult to find such a giant.

"What's more, Clegane's body is at Mummer's Beach in the Red Fork River. Although it may have been pecked by crows, the skeleton is still there. The Prince can wait until the situation is peaceful and go check it out."

The Red Venomous Snake ordered the two heads to be put away, "I like your gift very much, and I think my brother will do the same. It's still early, so I'll let someone arrange a residence for the Earl, and I'll have an in-depth exchange with you after dinner. "

After the Red Viper finished speaking, regardless of the guest's reaction, he asked an attendant to take the box containing the head, and led the guest away.

Jason guessed that Prince Oberon should have gone to the Garden of Flowing Water to find Prince Doran, so he politely accepted the arrangement of the Dornish people.

……

After more than half an hour of galloping, the red poisonous snake came to this summer resort.

The Water Gardens were built by Prince Maron Martell, and the palace itself was a gift from Dorne to Prince Marlon's wife, Daenerys I, marking their union with the Iron Throne.

There are numerous pools, fountains and blood orange trees throughout the palace, and pale pink marble buildings are scattered among them.

In addition to Prince Doran, there are also a large number of children living here. They come from all walks of life, and their status and status vary greatly, but they can get along relatively equally. Maybe this is the reason why the Dornish people are united!
"The people in the river sent the heads of the two dogs, the Magic Mountain and Amory Lodge, and asked us to send troops to the River Bend to lure the Rose family and its vassals back south."

Oberon spoke briefly, explaining the purpose of the riverside guest, and asked the attendant to deliver the box to Areo Hotah, the captain of Prince Doran's guard.

In fact, he didn't need to explain. Although Prince Doran never left the Garden of Flowing Water, he had very strong control over Sunspear City and Dorne. He might know everything within half an hour after Jason and the others disembarked. .

"The two heads have nothing to do with the overall situation, and Nightsong City is not in the hands of the dragon bearers. It's just meat promised to us with empty promises. What do you think of the situation in Riverland and King's Landing City?"

Doran, with olive skin and rich facial features, just glanced at the two heads before turning his head, continued to stare at the children playing in the pool, and asked his younger brother.

"Since the death of Viserys, we have someone to ally with again. But the status quo of the Dragonbearers is very dangerous. The legal line of Tommen and Stannis supported by the old lion came from Robert, so whether the two families Whoever wins must get rid of him. At present, Stannis' intention should be to quickly annihilate his nephew, and then let the nobles of other lands recognize him as king, and then quell the small rebellion in the riverland."

The Red Viper went to Braavos secretly, and reached a secret agreement with Illyrio, Jon Connington and others. After Viserys became an adult, he joined forces with Khal Drogo's Roaring Warrior and the Golden Group to counterattack the continent of Westeros.

The plan fell apart when Viserys and Khal Drogo the Horseman ascended to heaven, but Dorne's hatred for the Lannisters persisted.

"And the Lannisters desperately wanted to keep Tommen, so the two deer kings fought first, and then they couldn't take care of the self-reliant river king."

The lions and wolves fighting in Hejian had severely damaged the vitality of the nobles in Hejian, and the territory of one territory may not be able to gather 1 people.So even if another king came and had a young dragon, the forces to which the two deer kings belonged did not take it seriously.

After the Red Viper finished his analysis, he stood aside, waiting for his brother's order.

Doran let out a long breath, "So the crux of the situation is here. If Cersei and Tommen die in Duskendale, the Reach is likely to fall to the dragon bearers. It doesn't matter whether we send troops or not. If Tommen If they are not dead, the Lion and Flower Alliance can still be maintained, even if we add Hejian and gather troops from the two realms, we may not be able to defeat the Lions."

If Tommen dies, Stannis is the only deer king. According to his nature, it is impossible to forgive the nobles of the Reach who supported Renly and Tommen, the two false kings, and the Rose family fought for the Dragon family before. , so it is very likely to change the camp again and fall to the dragon owner.

Tommen is not dead, it depends on the result of the battle in King's Landing.

"No, there is still a turning point." Oberon folded his arms and rested his chin, "Even if Tommen is alive, Stannis has 2 people, plus a strong city, it can delay for a while. During this period, if we attack In Gaoting, the Hewan Army will definitely return to aid, but the Lions now only have [-] main force plus [-] to [-] recruits, the three kings are fighting each other, and it is not certain whether they will win or lose."

Prince Doran looked back at his younger brother, "Your idea is too risky. The fate of all the Dornishmen depends on you and me, and every step of the way must not be wrong. I heard that the dragon was born not long ago, and it may not last long. Youth, we don’t need to end now, let’s wait.”

It is rumored that Daenerys, Stormborn, has entered Slaver's Bay, and Doran wants to cooperate with this Targaryen with a clear spectrum.

"If you wait any longer, the old lion will die of old age in his Casterly Rock City. My sister, will you take revenge on your sister Ilya?"

Oberon's voice was very deep, but it had a power that pierced people's hearts, as if he would explode in the next second.

"I'm just putting off sending troops, not forgetting to take revenge." Prince Doran motioned his younger brother to come closer, "The origin of the dragon bearer is too outrageous, I don't believe what Rhaegar's illegitimate son said. We still have to fight with Daenerys." side cooperation."

The red poisonous snake stared at his brother, and said after a while: "Okay, listen to you, the Dornish people temporarily forget the hatred with the lion, and enjoy this last long summer."

He believed in his brother's control over the current situation, and believed that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to control his hatred. He had a big fight with his brother on sending troops, so he turned and left.

The Devil Mountain and other direct enemies are dead, but Tai Wen, the enemy, is still alive, and his descendants are still alive and well. The Red Viper has another revenge plan.

……

The Riverlands, the upper reaches of the Blackwater River.

【King of the River: Arthur Bracken】

【Level: 9】

[Experience value: 20671/30000]

[Agility: 12]

Since the level has become higher, the experience value required for upgrading has increased significantly. Several battles and the upgrade of new army soldiers brought more than 6000 experience points. The two missions in Golden Tooth City gave [-] experience points. Only after completing two missions to help the villagers catch "bandits" did they reach level nine.

Attribute points are added to intelligence, two skill points are added to the riding skills required to ride a dragon, and weapon points are added to two-handed weapons.

After adding points, Arthur skillfully put away the panel, and then ordered his soldiers to continue to move towards the destination, Shitang Town.

The composition of this army of more than 500 people is a bit complicated. 100 people are from Tully's house, more than 200 people are Arthur's new army, he brought them to Riverrun City to fill the scene, 500 people come from the territory of Pink City, Claremont Pai Earl Bai gathered 200 people in his own territory, but only half of them had weapons and chain mail, so [-] people followed Arthur to stop the Lion Army, and the rest followed Earl Piper to reorganize the pink collar.

There are also [-] or [-] surrendered soldiers and captives. These people are the "bandits" in the mouth of the nearby villagers. They are actually defeated skirmishers. host.

The mercenaries could easily switch positions, so when Arthur offered to surrender without being tied up and walking on foot, 33 mercenaries joined the army on the spot.

The rest of the northern stragglers are much more stinky. They don't even recognize Robb, the young wolf lord. How could they submit to Arthur, the self-reliant king of the river?

So 52 Yankees had their hands tied and marched with the army.

Half a day later, the spies at the front of the team reported that there was an inn and several farmhouses, and about a dozen farmers were working there.

Arthur thought about it, and asked Desmond, who led the team, to lead the army forward. He took Podrick and a few others there to hear what the nearby farmers had to say about the River King.

"Is there any danger?" Big Boy Lyman Darry asked.

Since Arthur resumed the title of earl of his family, he took him to fill the scene, because the other earls basically had tasks, and the king of the river could not go anywhere and was alone.

"It's okay, don't you worry about my combat power? Wait, more than a dozen people are not allowed to get close, let alone Pod and others."

Arthur was still wearing a coat of mail and a suit of plate armor. The plate armor was Jules's suit, which was quite new and would last a lot of time.

While he was resting in Harrenhal and busy contacting nobles at all levels, the big bull Gendry also took the time to recast the golden Guan knife, so Arthur's current equipment is still very complete.

"Then I'll go with you too." The 14-year-old Lehman was still very active and wanted to follow along to watch the excitement.

Pod, who was the same age as him, was much more mature. Ever since Sir Rorimer, the big belly, was buried dignifiedly outside the Golden Tooth City, he had been Arthur's personal guard and the officer in charge of armor and weapons.

Arthur ordered five third-level mail armor sword and shield soldiers, took Lyman, his two guards, and Podrick, and headed to the inn.

In the woods about 100 meters away from the inn, the King of the River asked Pod to stay here with five sword and shield soldiers with his golden Guan Dao.

If there is an accident, they are the backup.

"There are people again, which king are you fighting for?" Someone asked before the four of Arthur entered the door of the inn.

"We only fight for ourselves, and we just pass by here, hoping to have a good meal." Lyman Darry replied.

This was agreed in advance, and a big boy's answer could reduce the vigilance of the farmers.

Arthur pretended to be Lyman's senior guard and followed him.

"Give me the money first, let me think about it, four people get twelve silver stags, three for each person, it's already very cheap." said the owner of the inn.

Even taking into account that the prices of wheat and potatoes have almost quintupled, and the price of meat has increased by nearly ten times, this price is still very expensive.

Leman, who has been living in the castle, has no concept of cheap and expensive. He took out his wallet, picked out twelve silver stags and threw them in front of the door.

A short, fat middle-aged man ran out to pick up the silver deer, and motioned for the guests to come in.

"Forgive me for being unreasonable, my lords, now is a troubled time, we have to collect money before we can open the door for business."

After getting the money, the middle-aged boss's tone softened a lot.

The four of them entered the inn, and as expected, there were seven or eight people inside.

Of course, these people didn't look like guests, because they were a bit shabby and couldn't afford such an expensive meal.

Arthur didn't waste time, and bought another half barrel of ale with two silver stags. After giving these people a few glasses, he started to talk.

"Which king or lord do you think is better?"

Their vigilance exceeded Arthur's expectations. After drinking, they talked nonsense, except for their own evaluation.

But the King of Hejian still had a way, and after sending several glasses of beer, someone finally got drunk and said what was in his heart: "I think the king in King's Landing is better."
