Game of Thrones Overlord Conquest

The storm was like a herd of horses that had escaped the reins, galloping amid thunder and lightning, and the sudden rain whipped the ground like waves and tides.

After Meng Ge gave the order, he rushed to the wounded soldier camp and wanted to say his final goodbyes to Corsolo. However, at this time, the other party was already asleep. With his reserved personality, he leaned forward but could not say anything. talk.

The marching horn suddenly sounded, and he quickly turned around and left, mounted his horse and ran out of the camp.

At that moment, Corsoro moved, as if there was no music in the world that could inspire more spiritual energy than the sound of the horn. As long as he could hear this sound, he could charge into battle for Kaa again.

In the distant Free Trade City of Pentos, overlooking the entire Pentos port from the house of Illyrio Mopatis, it was calm, the sun was brilliant, the sky was clear and the ocean was almost integrated, with a few thin clouds. Easygoing breeze floats.

Pentos was originally ruled by a prince, chosen from among forty adult men of noble blood families, to rule for life.

But over the centuries, the power of the prince was gradually surpassed by the governors, and he only performed ceremonial functions. For example, if the Pantos thought that the gods were angry with them and they lost the war or the crops failed, they would slit the throat of the prince. , sacrifices were made to the gods to appease their wrath.

So only during the war between Pentos and Braavos, four princes were sacrificed in one year.

Today's Pentos is actually ruled by governors.

And Illyrio Mopatis is exactly such a wealthy merchant governor of Pentos.

His fat body was lying on his back under the beautiful cherry blossom tree, and his hands covered with gemstones were caressing a pair of severed hands encrusted in amber.

Occasionally, he would look at the table next to him with sad eyes. There was a silver pendant box with a painted portrait inside. The portrait depicts a beautiful woman with blue eyes and light blonde hair dotted with silver threads.

The governor's greasy yellow forked beard trembled slightly, revealing a set of jagged yellow teeth, and said to himself:

"Dear Silla, every time I see that beautiful girl in the house, I will be shocked by her beauty. This will undoubtedly make me miss the happy time with you. However, that girl is too timid. She is shy and looks worried all day long, which may bring some difficulties to our plan. "

It wasn't until an Unsullied guard came to report that the invited guests arrived at the main gatehouse of the house, that the Governor hurriedly came back to his senses. He stared at the waiter beside him seriously, carefully put away these treasures, and then he felt relieved to let the Unsullied Let the guests in.

"Illyrio, your friend received the letter and rushed from the disputed place, but was blocked outside the brick wall with iron spikes, unable to receive proper hospitality, and as the master, you are here alone. Leisurely appreciate the heroic appearance of myself when I was young.”

The person who came was a man dressed as a mercenary, but he hardly looked like a warrior. He was fat, had a big round head, light gray eyes, and his sparse hair was parted to cover his bald head.

He is the current leader of the Golden Company, Harry Strickland, also known as "Homeless Harry". He boasts that he is "loyal to the Golden Company for four generations". This is because his great-grandfather supported Daemon Blackfyre's rebellion. After losing the family fiefdom, the three generations following Harry's grandfather were all born in foreign lands, raised in the Golden Company, and fought for the mercenary group.

Illyrio followed Harry's gaze and glanced at the statue of a naked boy standing in a pool surrounded by six cherry blossom trees. This statue was handsome and elegant, holding an assassin's dagger in a fighting stance. , the Governor was a poor assassin when he was young, with nothing but a strong body and unusually handsome appearance.

After a moment, he greeted him with enthusiasm, smiled and joked:

"Looking at myself in the past and looking at myself now, I can't help but want to cry."

Captain Harry laughed out loud at the funny words. However, he did not come alone. Behind him was a red-haired man wearing a valuable golden armband. This man did not look like a good person. , a look that is difficult to offend.

"Illyrio, let me introduce you. This is Ser Tristan Rivers, a core member of the Golden Company."

The governor's intelligence immediately matched this person: Captain Harry's confidant, who came from the Riverlands in Westeros. River was the surname of his illegitimate son, an outlaw who was exiled by the lord.

Illyrio is rich and good at cultivating human relationships. Thinking of this, he immediately smiled more generously and said:

"Ser Tristan Rivers, welcome to your arrival. Please forgive the stubbornness of the Unsullied. They are just such no fun, but they need to protect the house to prevent the Targaryen brothers and sisters from being assassinated by Westeros. After all, the Golden Company The purpose of uniting people with lofty ideals is to regain our homeland. Of course, please let me entertain you properly."

"Haha, none of this matters, let's talk about your letter." Captain Harry smiled and patted Tristan River's arm, signaling him to stop acting like a mercenary, and then said to Governor Illyrio asked:

"You should know that the Golden Company just signed a contract with Myr. The Tyroshians promised us double the remuneration and more benefits in an attempt to get us to terminate the contract. It may not have been wise for me not to refuse strictly, which made some people begin to doubt the Golden Company. And why do you want us to agree to the employment of the Volantis? Without a reasonable explanation, the brothers in the group will suspect that I am crazy."

Illyrio did not answer in a hurry. He led the two of them to a private room, ordered the Unsullied to guard the door tightly, and then slowly said:

"The widow at the water's edge promised to rent the channels and warehouses in her hands to me for free."

"So you came to convince us to work for the Volantis for your own benefit." Tristan Rivers spoke impatiently.

Illyrio felt a little disgusted with this man's impulsiveness. There was no expression on his face, he just waved his hand like a fly and said:

"This is just my honesty as a friend. Let's talk about something specific. First of all, the Volantis offer the same employment contract as the Tyrosh, but they are also willing to give the Golden Company more benefits. That is as much gold as Captain Harry Strickland, to make up for the loss of credibility caused by your breaking of the treaty."

All mercenary groups and even the Golden Company are the same. This group of people is the ghosts, scavengers, and liars wandering in Essos. All its members have a discredited reputation and are homeless. Their so-called credibility is just that the benefits are not enough. enough.

Harry Strickland and Tristan Rivers didn't speak anymore. They were obviously moved.

Illyrio knows these people very well, because he was once one of them, and he knows that in order for Captain Harry to convince the top brass of the Golden Company, a more crucial reason is needed:

"Harry, do you remember our plan?"
