Chapter 313 Invasion

"Ed..."

Looking at Robert next to him who was pleading with him with wide eyes, Ed could only sigh secretly, then took the initiative to take the treaty from Rohan and read it with Ciri next to him.

There is actually not much content written in the treaty. Apart from some words of praise commonly used in diplomacy, a brief summary can be roughly divided into three items:

[Non-aggression Pact], [Treaty of Friendship and Alliance] and [Free Trade Agreement].

Since he was not good at dealing with financial affairs, Ed mainly focused on the first two treaties and began to convey the contents word for word to Robert next to him.

The [Mutual Non-Aggression Treaty], as the name suggests, means that the army of the Druchi elves will never attack the continent of Westeros without authorization, and they cannot be attacked by the Westeros people.

It seemed to be just a simple treaty. Even Ed and Ciri didn't notice anything strange, so Robert readily agreed to this suggestion.

As for those Pendor auxiliary forces who occupied the Iron Islands and supported a puppet ruler, preparing to launch an attack on the West?

What kind of auxiliary army? They are obviously natives of the Iron Islands, how could they be people from the Pendor continent in another world~

Seeing Robert confusedly signing his ugly name on the first treaty with a pen, Ed took out the second treaty and curiously asked Rohan:

"Then on behalf of the Iron Throne, we first agree to the [Mutual Non-Aggression Treaty] proposed by your Excellency, but can you please introduce the general content of the [Treaty of Friendship and Alliance]?"

He had just roughly browsed through the contents and was very confused about the Elf garrison mentioned in it and the various resources that the Iron Throne needs to hand over every year.

According to the treaty, the Iron Throne needs to fund and be responsible for all the consumption and needs of this Elf garrison, in order to obtain part of the command power of this Elf garrison.

But in addition, the Iron Throne also has to pay a large amount of food and minerals to the elves every year, and the amount is so large that even Ed, who is used to living a hard life, is stunned.

Hearing this, Luo Han pointed at the text on the treaty with a very 'friendly' finger, and the crescent moon in the corner of his eye made him look like a cunning silver fox with ulterior motives:

“After all, we will sign a [Free Trade Agreement] in the future, so we must ensure that the rule of the Iron Throne is stable enough, otherwise it will go against our interests.

In this case, in order to ensure that the free trade between us can become stable, the elves are naturally obliged to assist the Iron Throne to suppress those opposing voices... Of course, for a fee."

"In other words, the Iron Throne only needs to provide these basic supplies to the elves every year in exchange for your military support, is that right?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

After listening to Rohan's explanation, Robert's frown gradually relaxed. Then he lowered his head and thought carefully, shook his head with regret and sighed:

"Although this condition sounds very tempting, I'm afraid I can only refuse the luxury you offer."

After hearing this, Rohan couldn't help but raised his eyebrows in surprise. Then, after pouring another glass of wine for Robert, he picked up a bottle of wine again and asked:

"Why refuse? This treaty won't do any harm to you or your family, right?"

"That's true, but it has extremely serious consequences for the people of Westeros!"

Robert put the cup of elven wine to his nose with some emotion and smelled it, then silently drank the sweet wine in one gulp, and said with a blushing face:

"You know, the continent of Westeros is actually a magical place. The summer and winter here are equally long, which allows the people to have good harvests for several years or even more than ten years in a row, bringing a lot of food to the entire continent.

.

However, once the cold winter arrived, which lasted for more than ten years, most common people except the nobles had to choose to migrate south, or rely on the food and prey distributed by the lords to escape the long winter.

But there are some nobles who would rather let the food in their granaries pile up and feed the rats fat with the smelly old grain than give out food to relieve the people."

Speaking of this, Robert's face could not help but show a touch of sadness, because he had experienced those years and witnessed with his own eyes the life and death that happened among ordinary people.

On the contrary, although Eddard's face was also full of sorrow, his feelings were not as painful as Robert's. After all, there was Winterfell in the North with underground heating.

"What a rare and good king. Please allow me to toast you again."

Looking at Robert who looked like he was serving his country and his people, Rohan seemed very moved and poured another glass of wine for him, but in his heart he was full of disdain.

He recognized the opponent's bravery and love for his people, but a truly good king would not let his treasury run into a deficit of 6 million gold coins!

Obviously, such a forthright king is not in line with the kind of mediocre king Rohan wants, and a good king who serves the country and the people is not in the interest of the elves.

Find an opportunity to replace him!

After secretly condemning Robert to death in his heart, Rohan directly put this [Treaty of Friendship and Alliance] in his arms, then pointed to the last treaty on the table and asked:

"So what are you going to do with the [Free Trade Agreement]? Even if you are unwilling to accept the elves' request for garrisoning, you shouldn't refuse this opportunity to make money, right?"

"this……"

Seeing that Rohan and Robert's eyes were all focused on him, Ed couldn't help but scratch his head in embarrassment, and didn't dare to say anything more for a while.

Although he could understand most of the words in this treaty, after connecting them all into sentences, Ed didn't understand the contents.

"Perhaps we should go to King's Landing to discuss this matter with professionals such as the Hand of the King and the Minister of Finance. I think they can give better opinions, right?"

Seeing the embarrassment on Eddard's face, Robert, who knew Eddard well, could only give up.

"Okay, then I wonder if Sir Rohan is willing to follow me to King's Landing City. I will arrange the most luxurious dinner in the hall of the Red Castle. Can we discuss future cooperation together?"

But then, Robert immediately extended an invitation to Rohan, who was sipping a glass of juice next to him. The gleam in his eyes didn't look like that of a drunkard at all.

Although he rejected the [Treaty of Friendship and Alliance] proposed by Rohan, as a king, Robert obviously did not want to completely turn against this powerful elf force.

One Wild Hunt Elf has already turned the entire Northern Territory upside down. If another Druchi Elf comes, I am afraid that the rule of the Baratheon family will be completely ended!

Looking at Robert's sincere face, Rohan also understood that the other person was trying to please him, so he decisively agreed:

"Okay, let's set off, but I request that we go to King's Landing by land so that we can enjoy the scenery of Westeros along the way."

"Hahaha, that's great. Let me, the king, be your tour guide... Ed, get ready to have a party!"

Hearing that Rohan actually agreed to his invitation, Robert's face immediately showed a look of joy, and then he ignored the hostile looks of the elves around him, took Rohan's wings and entered Winterfell.

When the soldiers in Winterfell saw that King Robert seemed to have a good relationship with Rohan, they also put down their weapons and started cheering. The whole city seemed to be peaceful and happy.

However, they did not know that the reason why Rohan, as the fear lord, chose to join the human banquet was not only to see the banquet of the northerners, but more importantly, to buy time for Daario.

Although he didn't know that Yara was about to launch an attack on the Western Territory, he also knew that it was not the time to expose the existence of Daario and Black Ark.

Looking at the northerners around him who were welcoming him, Rohan also had an amiable smile on his face, but he murmured in his heart:

"Don't disappoint me, Dario, life has been too boring recently, I want to see rivers of blood!"

————Two months later, Iron Islands

"Do you want a total war?"

"think!!!"

The roar filled with anger and greed spread throughout Pyke Island, and even the neighboring islands could vaguely hear the roar coming from the mouths of more than 20,000 soldiers.

Located aboard the largest sailing battleship in the port, the Invincible Ironbred, the commander of the Iron Fleet, Victarion, was standing on the mast with great anticipation, looking at the crowds of warriors below with satisfaction.

In just two months, the elven army mechanics assisted and taught the ironborn shipwrights step by step, barely cramming all the blueprints and materials into the minds of these clumsy humans.

And with this kind of generous support, the Iron Fleet finally experienced an unprecedented surge in strength:

80 giant sail battleships (small elf landing ships) have finally been successfully installed in the iron fleet. Coupled with the iron crews recruited from various archipelagos, this will be an unprecedentedly powerful fleet!

And it is such a fleet that is now under his command!

Even if this fleet isn't entirely made up of ironborn...

Looking at the Pendor soldiers below who had changed into ironmen's light plate armor, and the silver cross pendants and maces on their waists that were different from ordinary ironmen, Victarion's heart was filled with emotion.

.

In order to avoid exposing his identity, he once persuaded the legion commanders of these Pendor soldiers one by one, hoping that they could use throwing axes and hook locks that were more characteristic of the Iron Ming Road, instead of the gorgeous pirate hand crossbows and rapiers.

After all, he also has a little selfishness, and he hopes that this powerful fleet that is destined to become world-famous will only appear with the Drowned God's sea monster symbol, so that the whole world will know about the existence of the Greyjoy family.

Therefore, it is better to keep as few pagan symbols as possible.

However, these Pendor soldiers who were fortunate enough to be equipped with the same weapons as the Black Ark pirates were proud of it. After all, this was the weapon they had obtained in exchange for their military exploits, and it was a symbol of their identity and glory.

As for the mace and silver cross pendant, they are the eternal faith in the eyes of the Pendor people, and they also represent the gaze of the Misty Lady.

Maybe one day, their heroic figures fighting on the battlefield will be seen by Lady Mist through these pendants and decorations, and then they might even be blessed!

Even in the eyes of some extreme believers, the Four Gods of Chaos, known as the 'Enemies of the Lady of the Mist', are not to be feared and cannot be the Lady's opponent at all.

In their subspace projection, the Misty Lady is a powerful goddess holding a mace in one hand and the "Mist Codex" in the other. Isn't it easy to kill a Chaos Evil God easily?

And Victarion now actually persuades them to put down the sacred objects of the Lady of the Mist. What a sacrilege!

Faced with the persistence of the Pendor soldiers, Victarion had no choice but to find Daario and tell him about the matter. After all, the other party certainly did not want the elf to be exposed to everyone so soon.

However, after Dario learned about this, after a brief hesitation, he gave the craftsmen on the Black Ark an order that stunned him, that is...

"It's really dazzling. I'm afraid that after installing this thing, my flagship will become the enemy's top priority target, right?"

Looking at the giant sterling silver cross standing at the stern of the ship, which was emitting dazzling light at the moment, several black lines flashed across Victarion's face. This was completely different from what he expected!

Now, I guess when the Black Ark incident is exposed in the future, the whole world will know that the Iron Islands are just vassals of the elves, right?

Pa~

Thinking of this, Victarion slapped himself hard, and then shouted to the uninformed soldiers below:

"Come aboard, boys, it's time to set sail, let's conquer the entire Lannisport!"

"Oh!"

Countless sailors wearing dark blue cloth robes and brown leather armor began to scramble to board the warship. Thanks to the excellent design of the landing craft, the soldiers who could easily jump from the stern to the bow of the other quickly completed their preparations.

Work.

On the coast, Queen Yara of the Iron Islands was holding a long black horn. Looking at the warships all over the port, she blew the horn excitedly:

Wuwuwu——

A low roar like a sea monster in the abyss came from the howl, and the sea wind in the air seemed to be controlled by some mysterious force, and began to use the wind direction to assist these warships in sailing away from the port.

The disaster on the ancient road has officially begun!

————Western Realm, Fairy Island

As the western island closest to the Iron Islands and rich in high-quality iron ore, Fairy Island has been in the process of sustainable fishing almost from the moment there were residents.

The ironmen's frequent raids caused them heavy losses, so much so that they had to resort to abduction to capture young men from beggars on the mainland.

Fortunately, since the Greyjoy Rebellion decades ago, the Iron Islands wine has never raided the Fairy Isle on a large scale, so the island has been able to spend a good time in peace and development.

But peace doesn’t always come:

Ding ding ding——

"Enemy attack! It's the Greyjoy family's fleet!"
