Dominate the Game of Thrones with Mount and Blade

Chapter 29 News from the Thief

"I don't know how to thank you." Darren said to Arthur while sitting on the cart.

Santaga's death happened yesterday. After burying his wife's body in the river, Darren's mental state was obviously much better.

Since leaving the battlefield, Darren has been expressing his gratitude.

Arthur, who was riding a horse, looked at him, "It's okay, this is what I should do."

At this moment, he was very happy.

It feels good to be needed by others.

This feeling is even more pleasant than when he got three thousand gold dragons.

Because he didn't have a specific concept of gold dragons, but Darren's thanks, but he heard a lot.

Yesterday, under Edmure's mediation, Genos finally made some concessions.

After getting the three thousand gold dragons brought by the Tully family's clipper and oars, the Earl of Stonehedge City happily released Brynden.

Now, Raventree City owes the Tully family more than four thousand gold dragons.

Even a big family with thousands of soldiers has suffered a lot.

After counting the money, the Bracken people left, leaving the Tullys and Blackwoods to settle their accounts.

After traveling for a distance on the road, they boarded dozens of merchant ships waiting there.

While on the water, Earl Janos and Arthur also settled their debts and settled them all at once.

In the end, 370 Bracken soldiers died, and Arthur paid the same amount of gold dragons for this.

And 663 people died on the side of Raventree.

Due to the hot weather and humid climate, many seriously injured soldiers on both sides were not rescued.

Since it was impossible to count how many innocent souls Arthur had killed, the earl determined that Arthur had killed a full 300 enemies according to the impression of his soldiers.

So the gold dragons that had just been sent back returned 300.

As for the compensation for Blackwood, with the thick skin of Janos, it was not carried out at all.

Because Raventree had far more people killed than Stonehedge, if the opposite was the case, Janos would definitely ask Tytos to fully compensate for his losses.

Of course, Arthur also fulfilled his promise to give three silver deer to each of the original five hundred soldiers.

The living were given on the spot, and the dead were given to the earl.

As the lord of Stonehedge City, he would do a good job of providing compensation.

During the time on the ship, the earl uncle showed concern for Arthur in various ways, and the good performance seemed to be a real uncle and nephew.

Of course, Arthur also actively cooperated.

When they parted, Genos also took the initiative to offer Arthur a hundred men to prevent Blackwood's sudden revenge.

Arthur accepted it with peace of mind.

These one hundred men were all elite soldiers wearing iron armor, which was exactly what he needed.

And the price of this was that Arthur had to provide them with accommodation and food, and he didn't even need to pay them wages.

One hundred elite river soldiers, plus the original thirty-five ordinary soldiers, and the peasant soldiers who could be recruited, were enough to guard a few villages.

And the earl said that if Blackwood really retaliated, he would send troops to help.

Now Arthur had no worries at all and could build his own territory with confidence.

Since the soldiers seconded to Arthur were all on the big ship, and the ferry at the riverside village was too small, the two sides separated at a large ferry not far from Arthur's territory.

After landing, Arthur rode a horse and the others walked.

As for Darren's cart, Arthur saw that he had not eaten well in the past few days and was afraid that he would faint after walking for a long time, so he went to a nearby village to "borrow" one.

The conversation just now was Darren expressing his gratitude.

The journey was tiring, and even on a horse, Arthur felt a little tired.

So when he saw the small castle appear in front of him, he actually felt like going home.

When I get home, I have to have a good sleep.

After seeing the Bracken flag with a golden shield and a red horse, Amber, a gray robe, brought people out to greet him.

"You go and find a way to accommodate these people. They are VIPs and will stay here for a long time." Arthur pointed to the 100 elite warriors behind him and gave an order.

"As you command, I will have the villagers camp on the hills to the north."

Arthur nodded, agreed with Amber's opinion, and then rode back to the castle.

Amber will take care of the rest.

He is a competent steward.

...

The castle, the hall.

"Are you sure? Cyril's son dared to show up?"

Arthur asked the villager.

Cyril was the servant who stole Arthur's savings of 700 gold dragons. Arthur had previously guessed that he did this for his gambling-loving son.

"My lord, I am very sure. He grew up with me, even if he turned into ashes, I would recognize him." The villager was very sure.

Arthur was a little unconvinced, "Since you have such a good relationship with him and grew up together, why do you come to tell me again?"

The villager opened his arms, as if he was exposing his heart.

"My lord, ever since we heard that you offended the Tullys and Blackwoods for Darren, my neighbors and I have deeply believed that you are a lord worth following."

"For such a brave and righteous lord, what's the big deal about reporting a childhood playmate who steals and cheats?"

Arthur was very satisfied with this, "Then tell me about his whereabouts in detail?"

The villagers then told him in detail.

It turned out that Cyril's son John did not appear in the village openly, but sneaked back in the middle of the night and was seen by him when he came out to squat.

The villagers guessed that John was here to get something.

Afterwards, under the cover of night, the villagers quietly followed John out of the village, knowing that he was running to the north.

The north was Blackwood's territory.

They had always had a bad relationship with Bracken, and they had a big fight a few days ago, so it was natural for Cyril to hide there.

"Very good, you did a great job." Arthur affirmed the villagers' behavior, "If I find Cyril because of your clues, whether I recover my property or not, you will get a reward of ten silver deer."

Hearing this, the villagers were also very happy, bowed and left the hall.

Amber came in and reported to Arthur: "My lord, it seems that your reward has worked."

The reward he mentioned was issued by Arthur to find Cyril.

After stabilizing, in addition to building the territory, the most urgent thing is to find the seven hundred gold dragons.

After all, it is also a sum of money.

But in order to ensure that others will not take the initiative for the seven hundred gold dragons, Arthur only mentioned that he had lost some property.

Finally, two days later, he got the news he wanted.

[Mission: Find Cyril and his useless son]

Looking at the blue light screen, Arthur felt that it was time to do something.

Sansa Stark introduced her family members to Cersei: "I have four brothers."

"Wouldn't you be so happy?" Cersei said enviously.
