"Quiet Lizard, are you there?" Tyene asked in a low voice.

The Quai lizard dressed in black seemed to have merged into the darkness, she walked to Tyene: "I've been here all this time."

Tyene grabbed her hand. "Can you use magic to find out where my father is? I'm afraid something will happen to him."

Quail Lizard: "Magic has a range. My tracking technique can barely cover Tylosi Island, and there is no response to using your blood during the day, so Prince Oberon is not in Tylosi."

Tyene lay on the bed, reached out to take off the Quail Lizard's mask, and held her cheeks with both hands: "I still can't believe that you can stay here for an illusory prophecy, and even want to give up your bondage!" The long life of a shadow warrior."

Quai Li: "Longevity is meaningless to me. For him, I can give up everything."

Daisy was at a loss when she heard the words of the two people whispering, and Nymeria took her hand: "I thought about it, and tomorrow I will write a letter to Renly in Storm's End, asking for help from the storm. Send some fleet south to stabilize the situation."

Daisy: "Is it really possible? Lord Renly seems to have been waiting for her wife to give birth in Storm's End recently. Can he send troops now?"

Nymeria: "White didn't directly order to ask for support. This is my idea. I don't know if Renly will agree."

Daisy clenched her hands tightly: "I think we must prepare for the worst. Prince Doran has no heir now, and the most powerful Yronwood family also has no heir. After today's meeting, many officials said that Dorne will die soon. will attack the Stepstone Islands."

Tyene: "Can King Robert mediate?"

Daisy: "It is reasonable to say that the dispute between the two duke-level lords is under the jurisdiction of the king to mediate, but Dorne is not under the jurisdiction of the king, and it is impossible for Robert to hand Werther over to Dorne. This is not something that can be solved by losing money."

"Weir is not here now. I can't let the Stone Step Islands get involved in the flames of war. I can't let Werther's hard work be destroyed!" Nymeria got up, got dressed and walked out of the bedroom: "Soldier, let the bachelor come here!"

Littlefinger and Ramsay led a demon group composed of runaway slaves to plunder the riverlands recently. It stands to reason that hundreds of slaves who have never learned martial arts and whose leaders do not know how to lead soldiers cannot have such a large army However, the two met a "noble man" to help them.

Slave miners don’t have the ability to form a demon group. Hard work is the only advantage. A group of people never take the main road, and they wander in the forest all the way. Under the leadership of the black and white demons, they rob the villagers of small villages along the way. food, rarely kills.

Down the valley's river, Littlefinger soon saw the familiar forest above Riverrun.

A group of rabble didn't dare to do anything to Riverrun. The two discussed going to the east to take a boat. Littlefinger, who was familiar with the riverland, led the way. The demon group went north and bypassed Riverrun. Loot to find something to eat.

No one was killed, and the villagers lost a lot of food and money. After the news spread, it reached Edmure Tully.

"Cut, hundreds of bandits with wooden sticks and hoes are only worth 100 golden dragons as a reward!" said the person who posted the arrest warrant. These were the exact words Edmure said when he was drinking with the king in King's Landing City.

The bounty was small, the bandits didn't kill many people, and the nobles in Hejian all worked hard.But there is a family that has taken a fancy to the demon group.

One afternoon, hundreds of fully armed knights riding war horses suddenly appeared in the Whispering Forest and surrounded the camp of the demon group.

Looking at the opponent's shiny armor and long sword and the wooden stick and hoe in his hand, the members of the demon group immediately chose to throw away their weapons and surrender.

"Who is your leader?" an older knight called.

"It's the two of us!"

Littlefinger and Ramsay took the initiative to come forward and confess.It is wishful thinking to want the slaves to have any loyalty to the two. They will betray the two immediately. The two have already discussed it.

"Which family do they belong to?" Ramsay asked in a low voice.

Littlefinger looked left and right: "These knights didn't wear emblems, and they didn't fly banners, but their behavior must be from a big family. There must be something wrong with it. We will cooperate later. our chance."

The middle-aged knight rode up to the two of them, and looked down at them: "You guys have committed an unforgivable crime by looting everywhere! But we knights are loyal to our oath, and it seems that you are so hungry that you can't stand it." , forgive you this time, you go south.”

Chapter 220 The Brilliant Achievement of the Demon Group

"To the south? Master Knight, we don't have a boat to cross the river!" Littlefinger remembered that going south is the Red Fork River. Not to mention boats, some of them don't even have clothes, and they are still shirtless.

The middle-aged nobleman on the horse smiled and said, "Haha, you are lucky, God is looking after you. When we came, we happened to see a few fishing boats that no one wanted by the river."

How could there be such a coincidence, Littlefinger and Ramsay looked at each other, Ramsay answered and asked, "I don't know what to call this kind gentleman knight?"

Middle-aged knight: "Just call me Master Attis."

Ramsay smiled all over his face: "Master Attis, do we have anything to eat when we go to the south?"

Master Attis raised the volume, and the voice was so loud that many slaves squatting on the ground could hear it: "Yes! After you cross the river, go to Shili City. The Bracken family has promised to provide you with clothes, food and shelter!"

This old man!Littlefinger already knew who this man was.

Ramsay shouted to the slaves squatting on the ground around him: "Brothers, Lord Attis didn't come to kill us. He let us cross the river to the south, where we have food, clothing and shelter. He is a good man! The Bracken family He is also a great person!"

"Great benevolent man! Great benevolent man!" The slaves squatted on the ground and shouted after hearing that they had food, clothing and shelter.

Master Attis waved the shiny long sword in his hand: "It's getting late, before it's dark, you set off and cross the river quickly."

"Thanks, Master Attis, let's go, brothers!" Ramsay shouted.

The knights made a gap for the slaves to walk out of the encirclement, and the two led the slaves to the bank of the Red Fork River. Among the ragged slaves behind them, a few knights had already mixed into the team in ragged clothes.

The demon group came to the bank of the river and saw not only a few fishing boats for crossing the river, but also piles of worn-out long swords and spears. Littlefinger and Ramsay had people distribute the weapons, the number was as many as [-] .

"White devil, what do you say?" Ramsay asked while holding it.

Littlefinger trimmed his beard with a slightly sharper sword: "Just now, these people belong to the Blackwood family in Raventree City. They want us to rob the Bracken house."

Ramsay was very angry: "These two families are feuds. Could it be that we are being used like this? If we are going to deal with the knights of the Bracken family, isn't that going to make us die!"

"If you don't cross the river, you will die immediately. If you cross the river, you may die in a few days. Which one do you choose?" Littlefinger washed his face with the river water, and walked towards the fishing boat.

Ramsay followed him: "You are familiar with the riverlands, how about we go east instead of going south after crossing the river?"

Littlefinger: "No, after crossing the river is the River Road, and there are soldiers from Riverrun patrolling along the way. Go south, take one step at a time."

After the demon group crossed the river, they crossed the Hejian Avenue and continued south into the territory of Shili City. People eat when they are hungry. These slaves who have eaten people dare to eat people if they can’t find food for two days. Whether it is looting or not? Littlefinger and Ramsay can control it.

Wherever they passed, villages were plundered, women were raped, and slaves began to kill people and set fire to houses.

The good days of the demon group didn't last long. Earl Janos Bracken assembled the knights and personally led the team to start the siege.

The demon group was no match, so they began to flee. To the north was the Red Fork River, so they could only continue south.All the way through mountains and rivers without taking the main road, bypassing Shitang Town to the bank of the Heishui River.

Earl Janos Bracken captured several members of the demon group, and after a great memory recovery technique, he learned that these people were slaves who escaped from the mines in the western region. Led by demons and white demons.

Selling and using slaves is a serious crime in the Seven Kingdoms. Earl Janos took back his soldiers, escorted a few captives back to Shili City, and counted the loss of the territory.

After that, he wrote to King Robert and Duke Edmure Tully, both in King's Landing, asking them to punish the people in the west and ask for compensation for their losses.

After a week.

Neither Littlefinger nor Ramsay had the knowledge and experience to lead troops, but at this time they also realized that something was wrong. The team was besieged and fled all the way. After arriving here, the number of people increased!

Several confidant slaves had already been killed in the siege, and the two promoted the other slaves who led the team. Before the two could reorganize the team, the demon group had problems again.

The road from Casterly Rock City to King's Landing is called the Golden Road, and it is also a wide dirt road. The sentinel slaves in the forest on both sides found a team of more than 100 Lannister family knights and carriages. The wheels of the carriages were pressed to the ground. Very deep ruts.

Some slaves said that the carriage was a silver deer, and some slaves said it was a golden dragon. Greed spread in the hearts of the slaves. As long as they did this vote, they would have no worries about food and clothing in the next life.

More and more slaves gathered in the bushes on both sides. Unknown who started it, countless stones fell on the Lannister team.The knights had to guard the carriage, and lost the advantage of the cavalry's charge. The two sides quickly fought together. As the shouts of killing sounded, more and more slaves rushed here.

The horses pulling the carriage were injured and struggled so frightened that they dragged the carriage over.

"On the carriage is a golden dragon!"

This yell and the golden coins scattered on the ground completely inspired the blood of the slaves. These slaves who had eaten people could really become demons for money.

After a bloody battle, the demon group emerged victorious.Littlefinger and Ramsay were going to lead a team of more than 200 people along the river to snatch some fishing boats and go out to sea along the Blackwater River.

At this time, the demon group began to kill each other because of the golden dragon they had snatched from their hands. The internal killings were even more brutal, and they were deadly moves without leaving a living. The two had completely lost control of the demon group.

The continuous fleeing and killing exhausted Littlefinger and Ramsay. In the end, there were only six people left in the demon group beside them.

"We've been tricked! Hahaha, we've been tricked all over the place! Ahahaha!" Littlefinger felt that he was going crazy, and he sat under a big tree and laughed wildly.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Ramsay had a hideous face on the other side, slashing at the tree with a long sword to vent: "Who is it! Who dares to play us like this!"

The six slaves who were still alive looked at the dozen or so golden dragons that Littlefinger and Ramsay had put on the stone, thinking about what they could eat tonight.

Seeing this, Ramsay rushed over and stabbed the only six followers to death several times. The two sat under the tree, watching the black water river flowing by without saying a word.

King's Landing City, which has not received any news from Werther in the south, is already undercurrents, because Robert is very angry.

In the past, there was a demon group composed of slaves. Not long after the imperial council sent an inquiry to Tywin, another major robbery occurred.

In the court meeting to deal with the quarrels and disputes between several couples, Robert directly sentenced him to beheaded.Many officials didn't understand that the money of the Lannister family was robbed. Why was Robert so angry?Everyone was panicked when they couldn't find the door.

The news brought back by the escaped knights spread quickly. It turns out that this is the time for the delivery of goods in the Western Territory every year, and it has been like this for many years. Someone has already figured out their situation.

Duke Tywin has issued an announcement to the Seven Kingdoms: the demon group did not come from the western region, as evidenced by the demon brand on the foreheads of the two leaders, they came from the city of Yunkai in Slaver's Bay on the eastern continent.This year, the western border went to Junlin City to buy goods and money, and was also robbed by the demon group on the Golden Avenue, with a total of 15 golden dragons!

A nationally sensational robbery happened, and the nobles all marveled at how rich the Lannister family is!The Western Territory issued a reward order, the black devil and the white devil each offered a reward of 5000 golden dragons, and King Robert also issued a reward of 2000 golden dragons each.

Chapter 220 The Edge of War

In Junlin City and Hejian Land, from nobles to civilians, they are all discussing the shocking golden dragon robbery.The merchants were all panicked, fearing that they would be the next one to be robbed, so they temporarily stopped the transportation business in Hejian, and temporarily became lords from all over the place to bring their own people to King's Landing City to pick up the goods.

The goods could not be delivered and the orders were breached. The big merchants affected the small merchants. The foreign merchants and nobles changed from arguing to hands-on, which made all the gold robes arrive at the post. Every day in the city to deal with disputes, it didn’t take long for the foreign merchants to I want to leave King's Landing City as soon as possible.

Littlefinger and Ramsay walked downstream along the banks of the Blackwater River, wrapped their headscarves and pretended to be Dornishmen, and soon found a team of Myr merchants who were about to return, and paid the boat fare with the only golden dragon they had, and finally Get on the boat going east.They now understand that the Westeros Continent is full of dragons and crouching tigers. The two powerless and wanted criminals will be played to death by those wily nobles at any time. They must go to the Eastern Continent as soon as possible to survive.

Now that the time has come, the atmosphere of today's imperial meeting is not as relaxed and happy as in the past. Robert drank one glass after another.

In the nine-member parliamentary group, three seats were vacant.

Renly returned to Storm's End, Little Rose was pregnant and was about to give birth. Renly had already taken a vacation, and transferred his voting rights as Minister of Justice to the King's Hand.

Stannis is away on business.Now in peacetime, the Royal Fleet has absorbed a large number of ironmen. In addition to their own escort missions, there are also extra warships that can undertake private work. Werther is a big patron.Now Stannis took a part of the fleet to the Great Wall of the North to pick up the wildlings going south to the disputed land.The Sea Lord's vote now vests with King Robert.

Werther was also away on business, and the letters just sent back from Tyrosh, as well as the letters from Dorne, were circulated normally by everyone in the Imperial Council.

Daenerys was captured alive by Werther in the city of Meereen, which should have been a great achievement worthy of celebration, but Kunyan Martell and Cletus Yronwood were also killed, plus the demon group and gold Big robbery, several things piled up, Robert's brain power is not enough.

The death of the barbarian Khal Drogo was completely ignored by the Council.

Prime Minister Matus Rowan: "These matters are divided into two sides, and we will deal with them one by one. The arrest warrant of the demon group has been issued, and the money stolen from the western border must be in their hands. As long as they are found, the western border can be restored Loss."

This is my money!Robert wiped his face with his hands, took a long gulp of wine and said nothing.

"Earl Janos Bracken accused the slaves of the Western Territory, and what about compensation?" The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mace Tyrell, was very worried, which could be related to Tywin.

"Your Majesty, Duke Tywin said that the demon group did not come from the western region, and his caravan suffered losses." Prime Minister Matus Rowan said this, but several people in the imperial meeting knew in their hearts that there were too many of them. Many doubts, but no evidence.

Robert looked up. "Varys?"

Varys has gained a lot of weight recently, and said with a smile: "Combined with the results of the interrogation of the captured demon groups in various places, they are indeed from the western region, but these people are illiterate, and they don't even know where the escaped mines are. There are so many mines in the western region. .Your Majesty! If you can’t find the right owner, you can’t be convicted.”

Robert: "Then follow the Prime Minister's method, say that they are from the Eastern Continent, and reject Earl Bracken's claim for compensation."

The Earl of Bracken gave himself five daughters, and Robert was a little worried that this "prospective father-in-law" would do something drastic, so he was going to invite him to King's Landing for a drink after he was ready.

"Everyone, now Dorne and the Stepstone Islands are on the brink of war, what should we do?" Duke Mace spoke quickly and became very nervous. Once Dorne goes to war, the Reach will be the first to be affected.

Letters from Lord Anders Yronwood were sent not only to King's Landing, but to other nobles as well.He was already gathering soldiers and vassals for Tyrosh.Prince Doran wrote that he had a handicap, so he could only persuade him reluctantly, but Werther Baratheon must go to Sunspear to apologize and give Dorne an explanation.

Prime Minister Rowan: "All-out war, the current strength of the Stepstone Islands will definitely not be able to withstand the Dornish people. Earl Yronwood is going to make a scene, and Prince Doran can't control him. Varys, do you have any news about the other nobles in Dorne?" Rees: "The Arion family in Divine Favor City, the Bremond family in Bremont City, and the Vail family in Bone Road, these three powerful families have clearly supported Earl Yronwood. There is no news about the others. But with Yronwood and Martell's prestige, it's only a matter of time."

Prime Minister Rowan: "Your Majesty, now that Dorne's letter has reached you, you must make a decision. Either convict the Martell family of collaborating with the enemy and restore it, and we will go to war with Dorne again. Or delay the time until Werther comes back and let him Solve it yourself."

It was another headache, and Robert didn't know how to choose, so everyone in the imperial council voted to decide.The result of the vote was to let Werther figure it out for himself.

Robert had a momentary headache and gave no final order.The Dornish people may not be very strong in frontal battles, but they just refuse to admit defeat. The giant dragon has burned all the cities in Dorne three times and is still resisting. It is not likely that they will gain any benefits by going to war with Dorne now. "If Werther comes back with a dragon, can we beat Dorne?"

Varys: "Your Majesty, isn't this the proposal we voted for, and it's the same as waiting for Werther to come back?"

After thinking for a while, Robert finally gave the order: "Okay, Grand Maester Pyle, write back to Prince Doran in my name, delaying time, let him wait for Werther to come back and solve it."

Now except for Robert, everyone present at the imperial meeting does not want to go to war. The long-term peace and the one-sided Stone Step Islands War have made many people greedy for enjoyment, and they all want to work hard to maintain this situation.

Prime Minister Rowan: "Duke of Mace, the lords of the southern reaches of the Reach must gather their troops and prepare to resist the Dornish people."

Once the army is called, production and commerce will be affected.The former vassal gained power, and now he ordered himself in turn. The Duke of Metz was very upset, but he couldn't think of a reason to refute: "Got it!"

Prime Minister Rowan smiled: "The last thing, Daenerys in the hands of Duke Witt, I suggest killing it, what do you think?"

Varys immediately objected: "My lord, now we high-level people know that Aegon, the son of Prince Rhaegar, is still alive. Wouldn't killing Daenerys just give him an excuse to counterattack Westeros? I suggest that Daenerys Ribbon back to King's Landing as a hostage."

Prime Minister Rowan: "Master Varys, Duke Werther's letter said that Daenerys has two dragons, can she bring them back so easily?"

"If Lord Werther can capture her alive, he can bring her back to King's Landing. You have to trust the ability of the Chief Archmage!" Varys wanted to save Daenerys' life, so he began to confront him, moving Werther out to attack Rowan.

Robert was very relieved when Werther handled the matter, and finally made a decisive decision: "It's just a girl, let Werther take her back to King's Landing. Let's do this for today, I'm a little tired."

"Yes, Your Majesty the King!"

~~~

"War between Dorn and the Stone Step Islands? Dorn and Westeros? No, there is a third possibility!"

At the port of Rhys City, Oberon was preparing to board the ship. He was in good spirits, but his face was a little thinner.

"Oberon, are you going back to Sunspear alone?" Ellaria Shadra grabbed Oberon's arm.
