Chapter 70, The Fall of Frey, Identity
As the short-haired mercenary knelt down, the robbery came to a complete end.
Arthur said that the captured mercenaries and guards would be spared, because of Eddard's existence, they could not object to Robert, who had robbed the merchant.
It's just a trip to Slaver's Bay, with a few more guests.
With so many soldiers watching, what danger can they pose?
Losing the greatsword, the mercenary rode to Arthur's side, who promised her safety and would not be sold as a slave for safety.
Hearing the young man explain their origins, he was immediately surprised and asked, "You are the Westeros who defeated thousands of Dothraki cavalry in the Dothrak Sea?"
Arthur shrugged and said, "If there is no one else, then you are talking about us." ”
There were no guards and mercenaries, and the fat merchant followed with the same dead face, and when he heard this, his eyes rolled when he heard this, and he didn't know what he thought, and asked, "So, the real Emperor of Westeros, and the one next to him is the Prime Minister?"
"Yes, are you going to dismount now?" Hainrikai smiled.
Hearing this, the thoughtful fat merchant hurriedly said: "You seem to be very rich, by the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Ionia Parr, from the Pal family of Meereen." ”
"I'm Anne Claudie, what about you?" asked Anne, ignoring the fat merchant and looking at the mercenary.
The mercenary hesitated for a moment, then looked at Anne, who had released her kindness, and said, "Selena Revane, a native of the Riverlands. ”
Heinli Kai said: "Your sword skills are good. ”
Seeing that Arthur and the others ignored him, the fat merchant Ionia took the initiative to say, "I can fund your return to Westeros!"
With a smug smile on her face, Heinlikai shook her head and said, "We have money, we have boats, and we don't lack your little funding." ”
Ionia did not believe it: "You must need it, otherwise the emperor and the prime minister will not rob." ”
Hearing this, Hainlikai raised her eyebrows, looked at Arthur, asked him to go to the emperor, and asked nonchalantly, "Okay, then what do you want?"
"I've heard that a civil war broke out in Westeros and that the Emperor and Prime Minister were forced to flee to Essos, and I guess what you need most is an army. Ionia said confidently.
Robert and Ed came over at this time, and when they heard his words, the big fat emperor did not deny it: "That's right, we need an army, can you provide us with it?"
The emperor was willing to come to talk in person, and Ionia was very happy: "Your Majesty, I am willing to pay for the hiring of soldiers for you. ”
Robert groaned, "Tell me how much you can hire?"
Ionia: "I will provide Your Majesty with a thousand warlike mercenaries!"
"Well, get the mercenary and you'll get a knighthood. Robert nodded.
Ionia was actually not satisfied with hearing only the title, but he was not in a hurry, and being able to climb the line of the Emperor of Westeros meant more.
After negotiating with the fat merchants, through the hills and sandstone mountains, Meereen was already in sight, and the city was made of multi-colored bricks, with a bronze statue of the Harpy at the top of the pyramid.
Since Ionia promised to provide mercenaries.
The Emperor, persuaded by the Prime Minister, also returned the goods that had been stolen from him, and then Ed apologized for his dead men.
The fat merchant didn't care about the dead guards and mercenaries at all, and contacted the members of the Pal family in Meereen City to greet them.
Receive hospitality from the Parr family.
Since escaping from King's Landing, the emperor, who has been suffering from the hardships he has endured, and who is full of materialism and likes to enjoy himself, can't help but lament that this time has been too hard.
Looking at the crowd enjoying the wine and food at the banquet held by the Parr family, Arthur was a little uncomfortable.
Arthur was seen sitting in the corner with Anne, Heinlikay, Gianna, and the two priestesses, not enjoying the lively banquet very much, and next to Prime Minister Eddard, Francis, and Varian, who were quietly drinking a little wine.
Selena, a female mercenary, decides to follow the Emperor back to Westeros.
Not accustomed to this kind of occasion, she came over, joined the chatter of Arthur, Anne, and Heinlikai, who had already become acquainted, and asked Arthur, "If Your Majesty takes back the throne, will you become a prince?"
Heinrikai shook her head and said, "It's a bit too far to say that now, but he will get a fief and become an earl, or a duke in the future." ”
Arthur shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "The process is not easy, and I feel that managing the fief is troublesome. ”
"So are you going to do it?" Gianna felt a little funny, there were still people who were afraid of the trouble of managing a fiefdom.
Arthur: "If you can, it's better. ”
"And what do you want?" Anne poured him a glass of wine.
Arthur took a sip of wine and muttered, "I want an army of tens of thousands of men and hundreds of scholars. ”
Annie: "Why?"
"For what I said in Norvers. Arthur tugged at the corners of his mouth as he spoke, smiling a little strangely.
Anne began to think back to what he had said in Norforth, but Heinly knew what stupid thing he was going to do: "Save those slaves?"
"I have to say that you are so great that you are ready to fight against the whole of Essos. ”
"Enemies of all Essos? Arthur still didn't care.
A long-lost banquet.
Robert and they drank very happily.
He even promised to give Ionia a fief after quelling the rebellion.
With the help of the Parr family, without much bothering everyone, a thousand mercenaries completed the recruitment in less than half a month, contacted the bald red-robed monk by letter, and three ships also came to the dock of Meereen from Valantis.
Although Robert was a little sorry that he didn't buy the Unsullied, and the number of mercenaries was not large, the money he stole was too small, and the ships were not enough to carry people, and the remaining two-thirds of the soldiers had to rely on the Pal family to provide ships for transportation.
Anyway.
This is the end of this trip to Essos!
The red-haired priestess tried to persuade Arthur to go to Asha, but eventually watched him board the ship back to Westeros.
The Emperor and Prime Minister are about to return to Westeros, where civil strife has erupted.
Sitting on an army of 100,000.
With the support of the Tyrells and the allegiance of most of the nobles of the Stormlands, the high-spirited King of the South, Lanli, is about to sweep Stannis and take King's Landing!
However, on the eve of the decisive battle with Stannis, he was assassinated by Melisandre's blood magic in the camp.
Die before you get out of school!
Lan Li's lover, Loras, the Knight of the Hundred Flowers, avenges him and convinces the family to turn to Lannister and marry Joffrey the Great with his sister, who is already married to Lan Li.
The Battle of the Blackwater River.
After the death of his younger brother, Lan Li, the king of the South, and his army without a leader, Stannis took the opportunity to annex part of his army and take control of his hometown of Wind's Rest, and marched together by land and water to besiege King's Landing!
With victory in sight, reinforcements from the Lannisters and Tyrells suddenly arrived, shattering Stannis's dreams of King's Landing.
The young wolf lord with outstanding military talent in the north led his army into Lannister Territory.
Win streak!
Moreover, he negotiated with the Lannisters, asked his mother to form an alliance with the Blue Rites, and sent Theon Greyjoy back to the Iron Islands.
However, Ranley is accidentally killed, and Theon, a friend and adoptive brother who grew up together, betrays and leads the people of the Iron Isles to capture Winterfell.
Lost the big rear!
The alliance with the Blue Rite has failed!
Negotiations with the Lannisters have made no progress!
Robb's plan has failed.
Later, it was reported that Theon Greyjoy had killed Bran and Rickon, and the young wolf lord in pain was once again stupid and announced that he was marrying Jenny Westerling.
Enraged, the Frey, with whom they had agreed a marriage contract, withdrew all their troops.
After the alliance failed, Lady Catelyn, who witnessed the killing of Lan Li, returned from the South with Brienne, and then secretly released Jaime Lannister, the 'Regre' who had been caught with great difficulty, in order to bring back her two daughters.
