Chapter 5: Tournaments

Valyrian Ruins,

Countless abandoned exiles looked at the mountains of grain, and their eyes were full of unconcealed greed,

But even if no one dared to step forward,

Stand in front of the crowd,

Lu Yan spread his hands and said, "Now, those who surrender to me will all be gracious!" This is your reward."

Taking out a large amount of prepared food from the storage space, Lu Yan handed it over to the Gray Scale Leader,

Compared to these worthless foods, what he needs has already been obtained.

There wasn't much Valyrian steel piled up, and only a whole set of armor, spears and broadswords could be made

But even so, this is something that many families dare not expect in this life.

Because it's Valyrian steel!

After staying in the ruins of Valyria for a long time, Lu Yan originally planned to find a dragon egg,

But unfortunately, he didn't find the "confirmed" dragon egg,

There was only one that looked like an oval stone, covered with scales,

Looking at it, Lu Yan once thought that this was a dragon egg,

But no matter what he does, this "dragon egg" is like a fossil, and it can be used as a hidden weapon to smash people.

Leaving the ruins of Valyria in disheartenedness, Lu Yan said that next time, he must find his own dragon egg.

Even if it's a collection!

Through the sea of smoke and dust, the ship returned to the Stormlands a month later,

Flame Castle, Lu Yan asked Lassoka about the territory,

After clearly learning that there was no "prick", Lu Yan couldn't help but feel a heart stop,

He's been out for so long, why didn't two idiots jump out and let him clean up,

Seeing Lu Yan's expression of wanting to clean up people, Lassoka's face was speechless,

What kind of lord is he loyal to? Why do you always want to do something to your courtiers?

However, although Lu Yan does not speak of martial virtues, he is still very considerate of the knights who are loyal to him.

The fiefdom is too small, Lu Yan will take the initiative to help it build, and will also let him join his business plan.

Ti Ze's territorial knights are looking for a "job", and it is estimated that he is alone in the entire Westeros continent.

It is precisely because of this that the Howard family is extremely united,

There is no filth in other realms,

After all, those who want to make trouble and those who are doing things have already been buried.

Lords: Lonely and scared in a corner shivering.

Four years later, in the year 281 of the Westeros calendar,

The tournament that has been continued over the years has begun, and it is precisely because of this tournament that the battle of the snatchers has begun.

Fort of Flames, the lavish halls,

Lu Yan is drinking vodka leisurely,

For so many years, he has never participated in a martial arts competition, not because he is afraid, but because he doesn't want to see a group of rookies pecking at each other.

But this year is different, he needs to go to Robert to "pledge allegiance",

This is a famous scene, and I don't know if Robert will jump three feet high when he sees Lyanna Stark accepting the "Love and Beauty Laurels"!

"Cedro, how are you preparing?"

Handing the wine glass to the maid on the side, Lu Yan looked at the man who was eating steak below,

"It's all ready, Lord Marquis, we can lead the cavalry at any time!"

Hearing Lu Yan's words, Cedro hurriedly wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth,

Nodding indifferently, Lu Yan didn't say anything,

Now the Howard family has prepared a cavalry force of tens of thousands of people under a large number of golden dragons and the people who have been converging over the years.

These are not the civilians who pick up their spears and go to war, but after years of training,

But even so, the Howard family is about to be dragged down by the finances,

Three years ago, Lu Yan borrowed a loan of one million gold dragons from the iron treasury.

As for repayment

What are you kidding, why should I pay back the money I borrowed by someone with my ability?

Defy? Come on, get me!

For Lu Yan, who did not repay his debts and tried to be an old man, the iron vault was not without a response, and sent Braavos's fleet, a mercenary army of about 3,000 people, to collect the arrears.

It's a pity that after the other party went ashore, he was buried by Lu Yan on the bank of the river.

Even the fleet was buried by Lu and sold to Qingting Island,

After this incident, the iron vault was like a slap in the face,

It's not that they've never seen a scoundrel, but it's the first time they've seen such a brazen person,

It is impossible to fight, and Lu Yan is not begging for a living on the sea.

As for finding other mercenaries, such as the Golden Regiment and the Second Son Regiment, they were all refused,

After all, in the continent of Westeros, who doesn't know that the current Marquis Howard is a madman,

A ruthless man who can suppress and deter three thousand mercenary groups on his own,

Although it is more "mythical", the iron vault is obviously out of line, and even the faceless people in the Black and White Courtyard have been sent out in several waves, and now the other party is still sitting in the Flame Castle, alive and well, is he angry?

The black and white courtyard is also angry, but there is no way!

The Faceless One is powerful, and no one can match all kinds of assassination and poisoning methods, but in the face of Lu Yan who has gone through several worlds,

Before he got closer, he smelled the "smell" on his body,

Forget it, destroy it, owe it, you owe it, it's a big deal to ignore this bastard thing in the future.

Since then, the Howard family has officially been blacklisted by the Iron Vault.

Lu Yan also expressed his helplessness about this, he wanted to borrow 30 million, but he only got 1 million, and he beat the rabbit with grass, and it was over.

Although he made a lot of money selling the fleet and grabbed two thousand mercenaries, Lu Yan felt that he should be able to play better.

However, he couldn't afford to play with the iron vault and flipped the table.

Financial constraints are the biggest dilemma facing the Howard family today.

If there is no war next year, Lu Yan will decide to grab a wave of Essos Continent.

After all, he is also messing around in the Westeros continent, and he also wants to give everyone a little face, so let's take the Essos continent first!

When the "scandal" between Lu Yan and the Braavos Iron Vault was in an uproar, the Westeros continent did not stop.

The mad king is getting more and more crazy, and his brain is starting to be abnormal.

But fortunately, Prince Rhaegar Targaryen is normal,

But for Lu Yan, Rhaegar Targaryen is the craziest one,

He angered Robert and angered Stark, whose father burned the Duke and heir of House Stark.

The two fathers and sons went one after the other, annoying the four regions and cutting off all the back roads.

If you don't die, it's Lu Yan's turn to figure it out!

After years of development, the Iron Wall Regiment finally absorbed enough manpower and gathered 800 people.

This time to Harrenhal City, it was escorted by them, a full two hundred people,

Although Lu Yan is very brave and not afraid of death, he can't prevent the mad king!

Imagine that you are a normal person talking to a madman about logic? Are you confused? Is he a normal person?

In order to protect his own safety, Lu Yan decided to take a steady hand,

Half a month later, a neat cavalry team entered the city of Harrenhal,

had already purchased a property near Harrenhal, and Lu Yan and his subordinates lived in a luxury manor.

A military tent is set up in the backyard, and the people of the Iron Wall Regiment are setting up a grill,

Put the cattle and sheep that have been slaughtered long ago,

Sitting in the garden with a vast backyard, Lu Yan looked into the distance, but turned his head and said, "Is your black and white courtyard so persevering?" ”

"Everyone dies!"

didn't answer Lu Yan's words, the other party indifferently pulled out a dagger and stabbed at Lu Yan,

"Huh!"

A breeze blew, and the Faceless One fell to the ground,

Lu Yan indifferently withdrew his hand, and the dagger was put back on his waist,

Standing up, Lu Yan glanced at the faceless one, without the slightest compassion in his eyes.
