Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 264 Gold is on the top, cold iron is on the bottom

"Okay," Intelligence Officer Lansono finally nodded, "Since you have said so, let's assume that Ian is credible, then when he escaped from Pentos with Daenerys, they Why don't you come to the disputed place to find us immediately?"

"Unfortunately," Jon shook his head, "Illyrio only told Ian about me and little Aegon, but didn't tell him that the Golden Group had joined our plan, but Illyrio praised him Not wrong, is it? Even without us, he still found an army."

"A slave army of eunuchs."

"The Unsullied are famous. They defeated Mort Khal at Qohor," Jon tried to argue.

"Of course we know what the Unsullied is," said an old sergeant who hadn't spoken. "After Kohor broke the contract and refused to pay the commission of the Golden Corps, it took the Golden Corps less than a week to take down that building." A city guarded by the Unsullied, in front of the Golden Group, the Unsullied are vulnerable!"

"Hahaha!" The audience burst into laughter.

That was the Battle of Fame for the Golden Team.

After the failure of the first Blackfyre Rebellion jointly launched by the two illegitimate sons of King Aegon IV, Daemon Blackfyre and Aegor River "Cold Iron", a large number of Westeros knights and The lord fled to Essos with Aegor Rivers 'Cold Iron'.

With these nobles, Aegor River created the Golden Company and put forward the slogan of 'gold above, cold iron below', but at that time, the free trade city-states did not take this group of bereaved dogs seriously.

After hiring the Golden Group once, Cohor even broke the contract afterwards and refused to pay the Golden Group.

The Golden Company then taught the arrogant city a lesson in defeating the Centaur army, and they quickly captured Qohor and sacked it.And the record of beating the Unsullied, the strongest infantry of Essos, also made the Golden Group famous throughout the Eastern Continent.

"Now we are not discussing whether we can defeat the Unsullied, but whether we can turn these ten thousand spears into our allies." Jon knew that the Golden Group was also proud of the capital, so he could only remind him like this.

"For us, adding another [-] spears is still not enough." Golis Aidouin, the treasurer, said after thinking for a while.

"But we can marry Daenerys to Quentin Martell so we can get Dorne," Tristan Rivers immediately suggested.

"Dorne the hell! If Daenerys marries a Dorne, what about Prince Aegon? Now Daenerys has claimed the throne! The only way we can ally her is to marry her to Prince Aegon , they are about the same age, and if the War of the Usurper hadn't broken out, they would have married." Jon rejected Tristan's proposal outright.

"So should we go to Slaver's Bay to meet them now?" Tristan River didn't dare to get angry in front of Jon Connington, he could only accept the other party's decision in a muffled voice.

"How could they stay in Slaver's Bay?" intelligence officer Lansono retorted immediately, "Once Khal Drogo gets news of them in Slaver's Bay, he will definitely respond to the humiliation he received in Pentos without stopping. If I were Forget it, Daenerys, a little girl doesn't understand this.

If I'm Lord Darry, since Magister Illyrio thinks highly of him, I'll let him be as smart as I am.After I bought the Unsullied, I must take people to Volantis by borrowing a boat as soon as possible.

The centaurs dare not enter the lower reaches of the Lorne River at will. Volantis has an extremely large number of tiger-robed cavalry. Even a strong man like Khal Drogo is provoking the Queen of the Lorne River (the title of Volantis) You also need to think twice before. "

"Then what? What can you get in Volantis? The Second Sons? The Windblown? It is impossible for these mercenaries to join a war that seems to have no chance of winning. It is meaningless to stay in Volantis." A sergeant pointed out.

"This" intelligence officer Lansono stuck, "I will rest in Volantis for a while, and then" Lansono blinked, "You are right, I can't get help in Volantis , and [-] Unsullied cannot conquer Westeros, no matter where I land in Westeros, it is only a matter of time before I am annihilated." As he said, Lansono suddenly looked at Tristan River .
"Except for Dorne!" Ranthorno suddenly thought, "No northern monarch has ever conquered the deserts of Dorne by force. As long as they have the support of Prince Doran, they can log in at Sunspear and erect the tang Lian's royal banner, and then began to lobby the mainland princes. To achieve this, Earl Darry's only choice is to marry the Queen to Prince Doran's eldest son, Quentin Martell!"

"We can't just sit back and watch this happen."

"We have to stop him!"

"We must find them before Daenerys goes to Dorne, and convince her to agree to form an alliance with us." The senior sergeants expressed their opinions one after another.

Lansono's analysis is correct. If Ian Darry only has 1 troops in his hands, then marrying the queen and the Dornish people will be his only choice.

But this decision was unacceptable to the Golden Group. Prince Rhaegar did not become king, and Prince Aegon, as the grandson of the mad king Aerys II, had lower succession rights than Daenerys.

Although according to the tradition of the Long family, when the king has no son to succeed, the throne is passed to the king's grandson rather than to his daughter, but Daenerys is going to Dorne. According to the law, women enjoy the same inheritance rights as male heirs in order of seniority.

Once the marriage between Daenerys and Dorne is achieved, little Aegon will either give up his claim to the throne, or he can only be an enemy of his aunt.

Now it's not a question of what they can get from allying with Daenerys, but if they don't ally with Daenerys before Dorne, little Aegon's claims will be threatened.

"Send an envoy to Volantis immediately, and propose to Queen Daenerys and Earl Darry our alliance as quickly as possible!" Jon Connington ordered immediately after seeing the attitude of the sergeants.

"Forget it," Jon immediately took off his gloves and slapped it on the table, "If you let you go, you may not be able to explain the matter clearly, so I'll go there myself."

"Where's Prince Aegon? Will he go with you?" Harry Strickland asked hastily. take this responsibility.

"Little Aegon is staying, of course," Jon said, slowing down.

He originally thought that of course Prince Aegon should be kept in the golden group, otherwise he would take Aegon to find his cheap aunt. Is it folded there?
But Jon thought about it, if he fell with Daenerys, with the character of these mercenaries in the Golden Group, would they really stand by Little Aegon?

The Golden Company has been away from home for too long, and they are too eager to return to their hometown and take back their ancestors' castle.

After fleeing to Essos, they still launched many Blackfyre Rebellions, and they never gave up until the last descendant of Blackfyre, Maris Blackfyre, the "violent" was killed by the fearless Barristan. Efforts to get home.

And now, the descendants of the Blackfyre are extinct, and the Targaryen dynasty has also been destroyed.

The remaining members of the Golden Group as the black dragon no longer care about relying on a red dragon to lead them home. Do they still care whether the red dragon is called Aegon or Daenerys?
No, the only reason for the Golden Group to support Aegon is themselves. If they are gone, they will send little Aegon to Daenerys non-stop as their vote.

"Yes, Prince Aegon will walk with me." Jon made a decision.

Compared with the mercenaries of the Golden Company, Jon Connington was more willing to believe in the loyalty of the young earl whom Illyrio had praised so highly.
