Game of Thrones Overlord Conquest.

Chapter 220: Combine vertically and horizontally
Myr, one of the most advanced cities in the Free Trade Cities, is famous for its advanced craftsmanship and excellent technology.

Its origins are uncertain. As early as the Dawn Age, a mysterious nation established this town on the west coast of Essos. When the Valyrian Freehold expanded westward, a group of merchant adventurers conquered and enslaved the residents here, making them vassals of the Empire.

After the fall of Valyria, Myr gained complete independence, but its independence did not last long. Volantis proclaimed himself the heir to the empire and attempted to conquer other free cities. His army once occupied Myr for about two generations.

Even after this period known as the Century of Blood, Volantis remained ambitious and constantly sought opportunities to invade the Disputed Lands and attack Myr.

It was not until it formed a permanent alliance with Tyrosh and Lys, established the Kingdom of the Three Daughters, and combined the strength of the three countries to jointly fight against Volantis that peace finally came to this land.

However, if a country has no external troubles, it will inevitably have internal troubles.

The Kingdom of the Three Daughters lasted for about thirty years before it collapsed again. The three states reunited and became hostile to each other, confronting and attacking each other until today.

Now, Tyrosh and Lys were on the brink of war, and would have fought long ago if it had not been for the fear and pressure that the Dothraki were stirring up in the east.

But this is still a bit far away for them, and they cannot completely suppress their hatred. Both sides are trying to form an alliance with Myr, and Myr also has some ideas.

At this moment, Governor Mill was receiving an unexpected visitor.

The visitor was obese, with a large round head and sparse hair that was parted to cover his bald head. Even in his armor, he did not look like a warrior.

The governor's impression of this look was undoubtedly worse.

Because this person was Harry Strickland, the leader of the Golden Company who tore up the mercenary contract with Myr when the war was about to come.

However, due to the strength of the Golden Group and his desire to sign a contract again, the Governor had to meet with Harry in person.

This is how the world is. People are always tolerant of the strong or valuable people. Even if they make mistakes or break their promises, people will find good reasons and excuses for them.

When they appeared in front of him again, even if he felt disgusted in his heart, his attitude and words were respectful.

"It is an honor for Myr that the leader of the Golden Group can come here in person. Please take a seat!"

After hearing this, Harry didn't hesitate and sat down in front of the Governor with a smile on his face. On the contrary, the strong guards were a little nervous and looked serious.

"May I ask why you requested this meeting?" Governor Mill asked expectantly.

"Of course I want to cooperate with Myr. Essos is not a peaceful place."

Although his wish came true, the Governor was filled with confusion. He looked again and again at the leader of the Golden Group in front of him. He looked so serious and it didn't seem like he was joking at all.

"Then...then how should we cooperate?"

“It’s cooperation, but it’s not our cooperation.”

Governor Mill was even more confused now. Didn't you say you wanted to cooperate with us first? They even began to wonder if Harry was crazy.

However, Harry had no intention of explaining for them. He still had a smile on his face and asked:

"The Dothraki have occupied the eastern part of the continent. The Gith and Qarth have all been defeated by them and are crying and begging for their forgiveness. Do you think there is any city-state in Essos that can resist their invasion?"

The governor was shocked. Was Harry here on behalf of the Dothraki?

The smile on his face was a little forced. He picked up the wine glass to hide his fear, but still pretended to say:
"The ambitions of the Dothraki have aroused the vigilance of all the free cities. Braavos is forming an alliance to resist the powerful enemy together. They promised to lend warships and..."

"You think too highly of Braavos and too little of the Dothraki!"

Governor Mill was interrupted by Harry before he finished speaking. He stopped pretending and became tougher. He sat sideways on the chair and said:
"I know that you intend to follow the example of the Century of Bleeding and join forces to wage a long battle against the Dothraki.

But the Dothraki are not Volantis. They do not have the internal strife of the Tiger Party and the Elephant Party. Internal troubles are an important reason for the failure of Volantis' conquest. The Dothraki people all submit to the banner of the great Khal Mongol. They are willing to obey his orders and are eager to fight for him, even if they shed their last drop of blood.

Braavos, oh! How much did it contribute to calming the chaos of the Century of Blood? It only lent a hundred warships to the Lysian exiles.

Those who fought against Volantis on the west coast of Essos were the Storm Kings of Tyrosh, Pentos, and Westeros, those who defeated Volantis in the upper reaches of the river were Norvos and Qohor, and the one who completely decided the outcome of the war was Aegon Targaryen and his dragon!
After the war, Braavos became the most powerful and richest city-state in the eastern continent.

This is the lesson you should learn from the history of the Bloody Century, and this is the fact you should be wary of."

The sweat on the Governor's face flowed down his forehead. He stood up suddenly, widened his eyes, and looked straight at Harry.

The guards standing by became nervous. They quickly stepped forward, drew their swords, and looked at each other warily.

Harry pushed the guard in front of him away and continued loudly:
"Braavos once pushed you to the front to resist Volantis rule, and now it is tempting you to resist the iron hoof of the Dothraki. What evil intentions are there.

"Sir Governor, please be alert! You must know that if you face the iron hoof of the Dothraki, your city will be breached and you will be the one who suffers the massacre!"

Listening to Harry's words, Governor Mill came up to him and asked cautiously:
"We understand your kindness. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Harry smiled and said in a gentle and seductive tone:

"In the four centuries after the Doomsday Catastrophe, the Free Cities frequently waged wars in the Disputed Land, causing this prosperous land to become barren. The Great Kaa is preparing to establish a governor here to govern this land and restore its glory.

The Tyrosh Lord is greedy, and Lys Governor is cowardly. Only Myr is the most knowledgeable. You can become a land under the rule of Dothraki. Swear allegiance to the great Khal, and he will personally appoint you as the Governor of Myr of Dothraki and help you gain sovereignty over the disputed lands. "

"Of course, you will obey the Dothraki orders and follow the orders of the great khal. If the Dothraki army and officials need to come, you must also go to the Holy City in person to meet with them. In addition, when necessary, you must send troops for the Dothraki!"

The governor was trembling all over, but he couldn't make up his mind at this moment. The main reason was that he was not sure about the credibility of the Dothraki. This level of vassalage was almost the same as surrender, and his own safety was difficult to guarantee.

Seeing him like this, Harry Strickland instantly showed an unhappy expression and said:

“If you don’t want to, that’s fine. The millions of warriors under my king’s command don’t mind spending a little effort, chopping off a few more heads, and gaining more merits.

Being loyal to the great Khal will only benefit Myr and will not bring any harm. The strength of the Dothraki is beyond your imagination in your lifetime. With the protection and support of the Empire, you can easily take over the entire disputed land.

The Dothraki simply disdain to send troops. The great khal has countless generals, and as the leader of the Golden Company, I am only the most insignificant one among them. If other generals came, it would be no difficulty to immediately break through Myr and massacre the entire disputed land!"

Governor Mill was terrified and said hastily:

"Sir Harry, please don't be angry. How can we not obey your kindness and the mercy of the great khal? We just need to discuss with other members of the parliament how to thank you and when to meet the great khal."

Next, Harry didn't push it too much, and the Governor didn't bring up the subject again, but they just praised each other's achievements.

After Harry and his guards went to rest, the Governor hurriedly summoned all members of the Mill Governor's Council.

"What should I do? Accept it or not?"

"Your Excellency the Governor, you must accept it!"

A member of the parliament dressed as a wealthy businessman stood up quickly and said anxiously:
"The Dothraki control the three exits from the Bone Mountains, and now they have seized the Jade Sea Gate. All trade routes to the Far East are in their hands."

"Promise them that we should go to Dothraki immediately and personally meet the great khal to express our determination."

A local noble with olive skin, black hair and dark eyes stood up and said seriously:
"If we refuse, they will surely contact the Tyrosh and Lys. Then our enemies will use the might of the Dothraki to destroy us."

However, some members of parliament disagreed with their views.

"Sir Governor, we cannot agree to this. The Dothraki are barbaric and the horse king is warlike and cruel. Wherever they go, cities are destroyed and people are killed.

The best way now is to respectfully escort Harry Strickland out of the city, then delay time, send envoys to Braavos for help as soon as possible, and build a fortress to guard against the invasion of the Dothraki.

In short, you must never make friends with the Dothraki. If you stay with them, you will be destroyed by them sooner or later."

"Oh, nonsense! If we give up the friendship of Dothraki to other city-states, we will only bring about our own destruction!"

The members of the parliament disagreed and started arguing. The governor sat in the chaos, frowning and thinking for a long time.

The next morning, Harry Strickland woke up and was about to go out when he saw Governor Mill waiting outside the door. He hurried forward and asked:
"Sir, what are you doing?"

"I have been waiting here for you to wake up. I have made my decision. I am willing to swear allegiance to the Dothraki. I am ready to let my only son go to the holy city in person to meet the great khal and stay by his side.

Myr will absolutely obey all orders of the great Khal, and we are willing to offer the Dothraki army 5,000 specially made crossbows and enough food for 10,000 troops to station."

Harry's hands trembled, and he looked at Governor Mill in front of him and pursed his dry lips:
"Five thousand specially made crossbows? Rations for ten thousand troops?"

Governor Mill seemed to have misunderstood something and said hurriedly:

"This is indeed a little less, but please do not blame me, great khal. After we take back the disputed land, we will definitely contribute more strength to the Dothraki."

Harry was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said:

"Yes, yes, although the gift is not much, it shows your loyalty. The great khal will surely be very happy. You and your son will definitely get the due reward."
