The composition of the Golden Legion is very complex, or in other words, this legion has been different from other mercenary groups in the Free Trade City from the beginning.

The first leader of the regiment was established by Aegor Rivers, known as "Cold Iron". This guy was the legalized illegitimate son of "Mean King" Aegon IV. In other words, this guy was, in a sense, powerful at the time. Claimed by the Iron Throne.

Unfortunately, he was destined not to take the throne. Later, during the Blackfire Rebellion launched by Daemon Blackfyre, he was on the wrong side and chose to support the guy who used the black dragon flag on a red background.

The outcome of the war was already doomed. After the failure of the Blackfire rebellion, he fled to Essos with his descendants. Later, in order to maintain the status of the Blackfire family, he used the exiled nobles and knights as his skeleton through his own efforts. The organization Golden Group was established.

Even after so many years, this Golden Group has always had a strange and paradoxical sense of mission:

They want to go home. They are not Essos. Their home is across the Channel in Westeros.

In the beginning, when Viserys, the Beggar King, was still alive, he had talked to them. But at that time, Viserys had no soldiers and generals, and he was not very good himself. He showed his timidity at the banquet, but these people laughed at him.

As a result, the matter of proclaiming Viserys Targaryen king and leading the Golden Company back to the country came to an end.

Of course, Illyrio, the governor of Pentos, is indispensable here for matchmaking.

Later, the crown of molten gold was poured on Viserys' head, the last male bloodline of Targaryen disappeared, and the Golden Company gave up their thoughts. They didn't think a girl could do anything.

Until now, they had heard that Daenerys had invaded Astapor without any blood and stabilized the rule there, and seemed to have the support of the Dornish people in Westeros.

Some members of the Golden Company who adhered to their identity as Westeros were interested in contacting Daenerys. They did not want their families to gradually dissipate through the generations and gradually forget their past.

But the current leader, Harry Strickland, has different ideas. Like the previous leader, Mistoyne, he actually doesn't really identify with his Westeros ancestors.

Very early on, Illyrio, the governor of Pentos, contacted him and promised to bring his Golden Company back to Westeros.

In exchange, Illyrio would give them a "true king", a young boy named Aegon Targaryen, said to be the son of Rhaegar Targaryen, who was originally replaced by Varys and escaped.

Deep down in his heart, Harry Strickland actually preferred Governor Pentos and the little king Aegon he created, because he felt that these people had more prospects, and his status would be more important.

If she took the initiative to contact Daenerys, not to mention what happened back then, Daenerys also knew about it, and she didn't know how she would feel about people like her.

Moreover, Daenerys is no longer what she used to be. The Unsullied are guarding her, four dragons are hovering in the sky, and she has the full support of Dorne. It can be said that she has become powerful and does not necessarily need herself.

Governor Illyrio is different here. Although the Governor's Guard of Pentos belongs to him, they also belong to Pentos. In fact, his command power over this army is very limited.

With the ten thousand people he has passed, they are the important team that Aegon Targaryen started. Maybe if he wins the battle in the future, he can become a prime minister or commander-in-chief.

Illyrio promised him that he would try his best to promote the marriage between Aegon Targaryen and Daenerys, but he needed to pay attention to a person who called himself House Belerys. One of Daenerys's four dragons may be of this person.

Harry Strickland doesn't care about this. This is something Illyrio needs to worry about. He just needs to see the results.

After his evaluation, he decided that it would be better for his future if he sided with Aegon Targaryen.

Although this is obviously a risky decision, Harry Strickland is a gambler and believes in his luck, so he can gamble on a bright future for himself.

He felt that after all, he was the leader of a large army with 10,000 soldiers, and everyone was selling him. Why not sell himself at a good price?

Therefore, when Oberon Martell contacted him, he did not refuse, but he vaguely mentioned Illyrio's existence.

It's a seller's market anyway, and it just depends on the battle between the two buyers. Whoever wins will fight with whom. Anyway, if you give the money, you can return to Westeros. You may even get a large fiefdom, and you can live the corrupt life of a noble lord from now on. .

As the representative of Clay and Daenerys' forces in Essos, Oberyn Martell naturally knew who Illyrio was, but he was not afraid of the Governor of Pentos.

He had endured it for so many years in order to avenge his sister Illya. Watching the Lannister show off his power in King's Landing, the anger in his heart grew stronger day by day. Now he finally saw hope. Those who stood in front of him were all enemies!

So, a messenger went directly to Pentos and brought the words of the Prince of Dorne:

"Tell Illyrio of Pentos that he has touched what I like. If you want it, come to Astapor. If you dare to do it, it will be regarded as a war against the Targaryens and the Martells."

"Whether your Aegon Targaryen is of Rhaegar's blood is still debatable. Think clearly, his identity still needs the approval of the true dragon. If he has the ability, you can let him fly over my head on a dragon. Say it again."

Regarding Little Aegon, Clay and Daenerys have long discussed this issue. For those who are interested in exploring this matter, Little Aegon's existence cannot be concealed at all.

Daenerys is naturally wary of little Aegon, because she is very aware of the power her bloodline claims over the entire Westeros. It is impossible for her to easily admit this nephew who appears out of nowhere.

Although Clay knew the true identity of this boy, he could not state it directly, but he knew very well that little Aegon did not have the blood of the dragon. The easiest way was to pull him over to see if the dragon recognized him.

But at that point, if the appraisal fails, it will really break down. Clay is not afraid of confronting this guy, but it is just inappropriate. The meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the enemies have to be dealt with one by one.

So, what he and Daenerys had discussed was to drag things out first, to strike a blow without completely irritating the other party.

After all, Governor Illyrio has been planning for so many years, and he has arranged many things overtly and covertly.

Clay would rather he put all his chips on the table, and then let young Aegon return to Westeros with his troops. In this case, Clay would chop these people into pieces and solve the problem in one package.

Governor Illyrio, who was far away in Pentos, received Oberon's threat, hesitated for a long time, and did not launch any counterattack.

Because Varys is now trapped in King's Landing and has nothing to do with himself, and the city is in constant war, he is hiding in the tunnels of the Red Keep, ready to escape at any time.

He knows the identity of little Aegon very well. In this matter, he must get Daenerys's support. Even if he wants to find a way to cause Daenerys to die unexpectedly in the future, he can only coax her at this stage. With.

The reason is simple. Because of the existence of the dragon, Daenerys' identity as a descendant of the dragon family is as hard as a steel plate.

There are a lot of Valyrian-looking Essos with silver hair and purple eyes, but little Aegon's appearance does not explain the problem.

Moreover, Illyrio still hasn't figured out what the dragon king he once met beside Daenerys is doing now, and his attitude is crucial.

The Dragon King had told him that he didn't care about Westeros' problems, but Illyrio wasn't sure whether that was still the case now.

The Dragon King can be killed, but only if you know where he is, right?

He and Varys launched all their spies, but no trace of the dragon king was found in Sunspear, as if he never existed.

But in the sky above Sunspear City, the blue-gold dragon that was obviously much larger than the other three clearly showed the existence of the Dragon King.

The Dragon King was in the dark, they were also in the dark, and they had not even reached the stage yet. Therefore, at this juncture, Illyrio could only test the situation bit by bit and did not dare to act rashly.

Regarding Oberon's threat, Illyrio hesitated for a long time and could only choose to delay, not daring to say a harsh word.

He didn't want to give up. After all, this was the team that young Aegon founded. How could he regain the throne without an army?

"Reply to the Prince of Dorne and say that I will go to Astapor in person to talk to him about this matter and tell him not to worry."

In the Governor's Palace of Pentos, Governor Illyrio said helplessly to Oberon's envoy.
