Chapter 159 Valyrian Alliance
Hejiandi, Yanchang Town.

This is a small town located on the edge of Crab Bay. There is a trading port where you can take a boat out of Crab Bay.On the high ground slightly north of Xiaogang, there is a towering square fortress and a city wall.The high ground on which the castle stands overlooks the entire port.

At this moment, the barracks of the [-]-strong army were stationed on the high ground and the small castle for a week. The infantry went to have dinner near the military kitchen in groups, and the auxiliary soldiers and attendants were busy feeding the horses of the knights and lords.

The cavalry with the golden tree or the coat of arms of the twin towers on their chests patrolled near the barracks, and the replacement cavalry holding torches gradually replaced their original companions.

In the castle living room, Arthur summoned Janos Bracken and Lyman Darry alone.

During the three or four days of going south, he had already selected the envoy to Slaver's Bay.

These two people and the other person are the messenger team picked out by Arthur.

"Earl Lyman, Sir William Darry is your uncle." The King of the Rivers asked.

Little Lyman nodded, "Yes, my father's three brothers all died fighting for the dragon family in the Ruby Beach War, and Uncle William is one of the few of my close relatives who survived the Usurper War."

The Dai Rui family is the most loyal Dragon Party family, and even the basement of the Farmer's Castle is hung with successive Targaryen kings, which shows their loyalty to the Dragon Family.

During the War of the Usurper, most of the adult males in the main branch of Darry were killed, including the Mad King's Kingsguard Ser Jon Darry, who was also Raymond Darry's brother.

"My old uncle, I remember that there is also a sworn knight named Darry in Shili City, isn't that true?"

Janos Bracken, who was quite stooped, looked curiously at his increasingly incomprehensible nephew, wondering why he asked this.

But he replied obediently: "That's right, Sir Hans Darry, in his 40s. Like his cousins, he is fierce in combat and a good leader."

"He's going with you too." Arthur motioned the two to lean closer to him.

"I have a very important task for you. Daenerys Stormborn is currently in Meereen in Slaver's Bay, you guys go there, find the Mother of Dragons, and explain my dragon and Westeros The situation... tell her that I am also a staunch abolitionist, and we will form the Valyrian Alliance and restore the glory of the Freehold!"

King Hejian explained clearly the purpose of their trip.

During Daenerys's childhood, the person who gave her the most sense of security was Sir William Darry, the head of the Red Castle. At that time, Viserys, Daenerys and the old knight lived in a red gate yard in Braavos. Here, there is no need to worry about food and clothing, and there are several servants to take care of them.

After the old lord died of illness, the servants stole all the belongings, and the Sea King of Braavos did not allow the Targaryens to survive on his territory, so the teenage Viserys took his sister to wander around the Free Trade City , the life of the two went from bad to worse until they were found again by Illyrio.

Because of suffering, Daenerys is very emotional, and the Darry family means a lot to her.

So Arthur picked Lehman Jr. and Hans Derry to go, and as for Janos Bracken, it was out of another consideration.

A person who serves as an envoy must at least be generous and elegant in speech and demeanor, as well as have a good bearing and appearance.

Lehman was still young, and Hans was just a warrior, so it would be best if he was accompanied by an idle earl-level nobleman.

Coincidentally, Arthur really had such a person in his hands.

Jonos Bracken had been Lord of Stonehedge for decades, and when thrown into a crowd, he looked different than the rest.

At least that kind of domineering attitude is not something ordinary people can perform.

"Old uncle, as long as you can bring Daenerys' Unsullied army and her three dragons this time, I will return Stone Hedge City to you, and the territory will not change at all. You are still the original Earl of Bracken. "

In order to ensure that Genos worked hard, Arthur went all out.

"As for Lehman, you have to seriously play the emotional card for the Mother of Dragons. When it's done, the complete territory of Darry City will be yours."

Little Lyman's eyes lit up immediately, and Genos became much more rational.

"Aren't you going to marry Miss Sansa Stark already? If Stormborn asks about marriage, how should I answer? Who will sit on the Iron Throne?"

Although he was very moved to take back Shili City, the former Earl of Bracken still wanted to find out the bottom line of his nephew.

"Valyrian Freehold has a tradition of marrying. If she wants, she can marry me. As for the iron chair, she can sit if she wants, but the king must be me, because by the time she lands in Westeros, I may have already Take King's Landing."

Since the death of her brother, Daenerys has considered herself a real dragon, so Arthur, who also has a dragon, has a lot of temptation for the mother of dragons.

"When Sir Hans arrives here, you should set off immediately, first take a boat to Pentos, then hire another, no, three boats to Volantis, and then go to Slaver's Bay by sea..."

Arthur explained clearly the time of departure and the matters during the journey.

From Crab Bay to Slave Bay, the most common way is the sea route. First arrive at Pentos on the other side of the Narrow Sea, and then take a boat southward, pass through Stone Step Islands, Rees and other places, and transit to Volantis.

Because there is a large amount of trade between Slaver's Bay and Volantis, it is possible to take a boat from there to Slaver's Bay, bypassing the ruins of Valyria on the way, passing the large island of Varos, and after resupply in Astapor, both You can reach Meereen, the northernmost point of Slaver's Bay, by land, or by sea.

There are also roads on land to reach the vicinity of Slaver's Bay. One is to enter the Dothraki prairie, go all the way east, and then go straight south near Wes Dilf, so that you can bypass the Painted Mountains and reach Meereen.

Wes Dilf is the name of the Free Trade City, and in the Dothraki population, the place is called Hazdan Nor.

The tricky thing about this road is that the Dothraki race, the khalasar, run back and forth.

Maybe tens of thousands of roaring warriors will come after him as he walks.

There is also another land route to Meereen, first from Pentos to Volantis by land, passing through Sadland, Lorne River, Sehoru Town, Valisa Town, Veronthus Town and other places on the way, and finally Arrive in Volantis, then follow the Devil's Road to Meereen.

Devil's Road is a section of Valyrian Avenue. From its name, you know how dangerous this road is.

Not to mention the grotesque and crooked aborigines in Mataris and Baharaxi, the custom of pickling people in Mataris is enough to make people frightened.

Moreover, it is rumored that Mataris is a traditional ally of the slave city-state Yunkai. From there, he went to Meereen to find the Shacklebreaker. He was probably beheaded by the aborigines, and then pickled and sent to Daenerys.

So I have to be honest and follow the maritime trade route to find Daenerys.

Because they couldn't communicate in real time, the three of them thought about all possible situations now, and Arthur also explained clearly what the messenger group should do in each situation.

……

The Stormlands, Summerhall.

Under the veil of night, dozens of cavalry holding torches surrounded the ruins, and five important figures were negotiating near the remains of the fire.

The leader of the Golden Company, Sir Harry Strickland, was staring fearfully at someone in black.

It was the only person whose life he felt was in danger after being drawn here by Illyrio Mopatis.

Judging by the cheesemonger's respect for the man, the man was probably someone really big.

The Mad King's former Hand of the King, Jon Connington, and Aegon VI Targaryen surrounded Illyrio, listening to what the fat man had to say.

"...If there is no accident, the dragon bearer hatched the black dragon here, and Joffrey was probably burned by him. Lando Tarly once led people to investigate here, and he and his fellow Matu With the abilities of S Luowan and the others, this should be our destination."

Illyrio speaks his conclusions to his most important ally.

The man in black floated silently around the remains of the fire. If he hadn't been staring at it, it would be easy to think that the man in black was just a shadow.

This made the three people with lower status even more nervous.

The well-informed Jon Connington and Harry Strickland first guessed who the man in black was.

The Faceless of the House of Black and White!
The most powerful group of assassins in the entire world.

Just when the two were shocked by this person's identity, the man in black spoke.

"It sounds similar to the hatching of the mother of dragons we investigated. There must be dragon eggs, there must be kings, and there must be people with Targaryen blood."

His voice was unusually illusory, he was speaking in front of several people, but it sounded like it was coming from all directions.

"If it wasn't for your cleverness, we would have had a few more dragon eggs." The man in black reprimanded Illyrio.

He's talking about Illyrio giving Daenerys three dragon eggs.

According to Governor Pentos, the three dragon eggs came from the land of shadows east of Asshai, and because they existed for thousands of years, they became fossils.

But in fact, those three dragon eggs are still very young. More than 200 years ago, Eliza Farman stole these three big treasures from Dragon Hall on Dragonstone Island.

"I thought Targaryen would be able to hatch dragons near Asshai. After all, there are blood wizards there, and it might really bring back the glory of Valyria. But it doesn't matter, the dragons have finally returned to the world, our plan is still It can be done."

After being overwhelmed by the number of black robes, Illyrio explained embarrassingly.

"Huh! Although there are two cases of hatching dragons, our Targaryen blood is not very pure. The dragons of the Dragon Bearer and the Mother of Dragons have grown very large, so in the next time , we must seize the time to raise dragons. On the one hand, prepare to hatch dragons according to this configuration, and on the other hand, I will send people to the school city to find other methods of raising dragons." The man in black said coldly.

He's talking about the Faceless Man who played Jaqen H'ghar, who's gone to Oldtown in the Reach now.

The voice of the man in black was almost calm, and in an environment like the night, it was easy to get goosebumps all over his body.

"Understood, understood!" Illyrio agreed first, and then explained to others.

"This big man from the House of Black and White is also our ally. In order to restore the glory of Valyria, we decided to incubate giant dragons. For a period of time after that, everyone has to work hard for dragon breeding."

"Captain Harry Strickland, Ser Jon Connington, you two are responsible for capturing Stannis so we can perform the Fire Ritual."

Anyway, Stannis has burned people several times, and Illyrio has no psychological burden for burning him to hatch dragons.

Harry asked curiously, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask, where did the dragon eggs come from, and do we have real dragon eggs?"

The man in black snorted coldly, "For this dragon egg, we have already assassinated one king, and we will assassinate another king next time. Do you think this is a real dragon egg?"

Harry can't offend the Faceless Man, but he can offend the fat man, "It's not easy to capture a king with tens of thousands of soldiers..."

He is the team leader, so he is naturally aware of his own strength.

Although he released the news that the Golden Regiment had a full army of [-], in fact there were only [-] soldiers, including [-] knights with three horses and one man, five hundred attendants with one horse and one man, one thousand archers, and three war elephants. The rest are all infantry and untrained horse mercenaries.

This kind of army can barely compete with the family soldiers of the noble lord of the storm. It is already blessed by the gods to defeat Stannis' army on the frontal battlefield. It is almost impossible to capture the enemy's commander.

"Use your brain." Illyrio stretched out his right hand and slapped around his brain twice. "Stannis abides by the law. In the current Western Continent, he may be the king who loves the common people the most."

Governor Pentos pointed to the north, "So when he heard that you plundered the peasants of Stormland, he must send troops to protect his people. If you operate well, you may not be able to attract him to come in person. Find a suitable place , ambush him, and capture him alive."

After thinking about it for a while, Harry decided that the plan would work.

"We have war elephants, but we can be near the rainforest..."

The Rainforest, another large forest in the southern part of the Stormlands, hides war elephants with ease.

Illyrio clapped his hands, "That's right, anyway, plundering peasant traders to become slaves is an established action, and you captured Stannis by the way."

Hiring this top mercenary group in the Eastern Continent basically spent all the governor's money, so he made a plan early on to plunder farmers and sell them as slaves. Captain Harry also knew about this plan and firmly supported it. .

The man in black was very satisfied with the attitude of his allies, "That's right, we will work together to restore the glory of Valyria."

Jon Connington listened in confusion for a long time, "Isn't our goal to revive the Targaryen dynasty? When did it become great? And the dragon bearer is also of Targaryen blood. Shouldn't we form an alliance with him first?"

His idea is to win over all the forces that support the Long Family, defeat the Lion Family and the Lu Family forces first, and then distribute the Iron Throne internally.

"I have a reliable source. The Dragon Bearer has made it clear that he will not keep slaves. In addition, His Majesty Aegon VI, we are also enemies with him." Illyrio interrupted Jon Connington's thoughts ruthlessly.

Several people discussed for a long time, and another Valyrian alliance was established.
