Dominate the Game of Thrones with Mount and Blade

Chapter 7 Hundreds of golden dragons, who are you insulting?

"I don't care who you are, if you're captured you have to be honest."

The steward, gray-robed Amber, was happy about the twelve fine long swords and some armors he had captured. Suddenly he heard that some bandits were so arrogant, so he scolded them without turning his head.

Just as Brynden was about to reveal his identity, he saw Roger, who was also tied up not far away, winking desperately.

But Brynden ignored it.

He is the eldest son of Earl Tytos of the Blackwood family. When had he ever suffered such injustice?

The noble man was defeated by a group of peasants, had his hands tied, and was even scolded by a low-level soldier.

"I am Brynden, the eldest son of Earl Tytos. If you don't want to die, let me go immediately and apologize."

Roger felt deeply speechless for this aristocratic young man who claimed his family status.

Bracken is a hostile family, and they didn't keep a low profile when they fell into their hands. Isn't this a pure fool?

Arthur was surprised that this young bandit actually claimed to be the eldest son of the earl.

It belongs to the Blackwood family not far from here.

Is the world so difficult that even the eldest son of an earl comes out to rob someone?

Then he shook his head, shaking off his unrealistic thoughts.

Suddenly, Arthur had an epiphany.

The 80-year-old was the earl's eldest son.

Because the bandits found standard armor that obviously only a big noble could afford.

The difference between armor and weapons is that a blacksmith who makes wood axes or dung forks can also make swords and other weapons, but armor cannot.

Everywhere, those who play armor are big forces.

And a large number of armors of a unified style can only be obtained by the princes who are divided into one side.

Although the world of Game of Thrones should not have concepts such as assembly line production and tolerances, the weapons workshops of large families can unify details.

Standard armor, in the Riverlands, must at least come from the Tullys of Riverrun, the Freys of Twins, the Blackwoods of Raventree, Lord Bracken of Stonehedge, and Mellis of Seaside City. Only a big family like the Te family can equip it.

Just like the Arthur family, there are three different types of armor. Ten sets were purchased at Lannister Port in the West, five sets were purchased in King's Landing, and the other twenty sets were given by the Bracken family.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for this small territory of the Arthur family to have such a high armor rate and at the same time accumulate such a "huge sum" of seven hundred golden dragons.

After realizing something was wrong, he ordered: "Go check him out."

The two soldiers received the order and walked over to prepare for a body search.

"No need to search, he is from the Blackwood family." Yule reminded him loudly.

"Since you already know my identity, why don't you let me go?" Brynden shouted.

Arthur looked confused. Does this guy know how to live and die?

Being captured is so arrogant!

Although Westeros has a tradition of not killing captured nobles, does he really think that being a noble is a gold medal to avoid death?

Arthur was about to ridicule Brynden, but Amber walked up to the lord with a serious face and whispered:

"Since he is really from the Blackwood family, let's just let him go."

"Are you smart?" Arthur asked, "These are bandits who invaded my home."

Then he shouted to the soldiers who were still cleaning the battlefield: "Hurry up and clean up, we will leave immediately."

Since this place is on Blackwood's territory, it's best to leave as soon as possible.

Amber was a little anxious and advised: "Their family is very powerful and we can't afford to offend them, so we let them go."

"Even if he is really the eldest son of an earl and a serious nobleman, he pretends to be a bandit and comes to rob my village. This is not right. We are reasonable about this matter. If not, I will respectfully let him go. he."

"Then what should we do with him? If he doesn't do anything right, Count Tytos can attack us on the grounds that his son has been captured." Amber looked worried.

Arthur walked to the horse brought by the soldiers, got on the horse, and then said to Amber: "Then let his father, the earl, pay to ransom him."

He rubbed his index finger and thumb, "Without hundreds of golden dragons, this Brynden will just stay in our cellar."

At this time, the soldiers had tied the twelve prisoners in a row and hurried on the road.

Brynden happened to be not far away at this time. After hearing what Arthur said, he said angrily: "You actually insulted me with hundreds of golden dragons. Do you know the meaning of Blackwood's eldest son?"

"The eldest son of Blackwood means the prisoner of my Arthur Bracken. What's wrong, do you still think the price is too low?"

Arthur rode forward, keeping pace with the eldest son.

"It's not just low, you simply don't treat me as a human being. Without a price of several thousand gold dragons, you would never ask my father to redeem me." Brynden said angrily.

Arthur was delighted that there was such a reverse bargainer.

But when I thought about it again, it made sense.

After all, the most important thing for this group of nobles is face.

A powerful Earl like Brynden, the eldest son, might only be captured once in his life.

If I bid too low, I might really lose his face.

Word spread that the eldest son of the earl of the dignified Blackwood family was only worth a few hundred gold dragons. What did others think?

Are the nobles of the Riverlands so poor that they can compare with the nobles of the North?

If things go wrong, this will be the joke of the future Earl Brynden for the rest of his life.

As the group walked a long way, Brynden was still yelling, asking people to let him go, and then asking people to tie him up loosely. He kept saying that 150 soldiers would soon attack, and that he had 3,000 soldiers at home, enough to crush Arthur's family.

In short, he was restless.

Arthur ignored him and quietly opened the panel.

He had already reached level 2, and got one attribute point, two skill points, and ten weapon proficiency points.

The attributes continued to increase strength, two skill points increased iron bones, which could save lives, and ten weapon points continued to increase two-handed weapons.

[Baron: Arthur Bracken]

[Level: 2]

[Experience: 679/1200]

[Strength: 16]

[Agility: 10]

[Intelligence: 7]

[Charm: 9]

[Skills: Iron Bone 2, Power Attack 7, Power Throw 1, Power Bow 1, Weapon Mastery 2, Shield Defense 0, Running 0, Riding 3, Horse Archery 0, Looting 0, Coaching 0, Tracking 0, Tactics 1, Guide 0, Scouting 0, Healing 0, Surgery 0, First Aid 0, Engineering 0, Persuasion 1, Prisoner Management 0, Leadership 3, Trading 0]

[Weapon Proficiency: One-handed Weapons 74, Two-handed Weapons 95, Pole Weapons 77, Bow and Arrow 31, Crossbow 31, Throwing 31]

According to the Mountain's physique, it is estimated that the strength is only 20.

As long as Arthur increases the strength to 20 and the agility to about 18, there will be no problem in protecting himself from the Mountain.

Along the way, Amber always felt unsafe and repeatedly persuaded Arthur to release Brynden and not to provoke the Blackwood family.

Arthur didn't listen, but he also ordered to speed up.

Wait until you get to your own small castle.

As for the ransom, you have to find Jesno, the head of the main family of Bracken, to help.

If Arthur foolishly ran up to ask for the ransom, he might be killed by the soldiers sent by the other party, and even the small castle could not be saved.

Arthur still distinguished between gold dragons and his life.

Given the grudge between the Bracken and Blackwood families, it seems that Earl Jesno would be happy to see Brynden captured.

According to Brynden's suggestion, Arthur felt that he could get two or three thousand gold dragons this time. He would give half of it to Earl Jesno, and he would have more than one thousand in his hands.

Denar is the kingly way.

Arthur was happily thinking about the money he had earned, when he suddenly heard Amber's voice:

"Sir, there are pursuers behind us."
