Chapter 705
In Wolfswood that day, after Stannis reached an agreement with Iron Bank representative Tycho, he immediately arranged for Ser Justin Massey to escort Tycho away and employ no less than 20,000 mercenaries across the Narrow Sea.
He also told Ser Justin that even if he heard of his death, he must lead his troops to support Princess Shireen as Queen.
In this respect, Ser Justin is almost equal to the minister of life.
Therefore, if the Allies want to find the Second Stag Alliance, the best option is to have the Braavos lead the way to Ser Justin.
Justin has been busy recruiting mercenaries.
The first batch of 3,000 cavalry helped Second Stag stabilize the situation and captured Winterfell. When Second Stag decided to go south, he prepared a second batch of 5,000 mercenaries.
Of course, the fleets transporting mercenaries, the rations, weapons, armors and other military supplies to support the soldiers were all purchased at Braavos and sent there together.
When Second Stag left White Harbor, he announced that he was going back to Storm's End. In fact, his real goal was Vale!
As a result, Old Jon, who sent Maege back to Westeros, searched for the Second Stag at sea for almost a week and found no trace of the huge fleet.
Old Jon went the wrong way.
Second Stag went to Fingers in Vale, and the second batch of mercenaries recruited by Ser Justin and the second batch of supplies were also shipped to Fingers.
Fingers is very close to Braavos, separated only by a 500km wide Narrow Sea.
Second Stag intends to land from Fingers and take Vale in its pocket.
Since ancient times, no army has ever invaded Vale along the Bloody Gate, but there is a long and complex coastline east of Vale.
When the Andals invaded Westeros, the first target to conquer was Vale. Just cross the narrow Narrow Sea and get a foothold on the Vale coast, and the First Men will never be able to drive them away.
Second Stag adopted almost the same strategy, first concealing the goal of oneself, so that everyone thought he was going back to Storm's End, but turned into Fingers halfway, and landed in the coastal town with lightning speed. —Snakewood!
Snakewood is very special. It is located at the end of the Vale Plain, only 500 kilometers away from Eyrie!
If Eyrie is compared to Suzhou City, then Snakewood is hi.
It's also facing Braavos, which is very convenient for Justin to transport troops and supplies.
Finally, Snakewood Earl Lynderly led the clan to answer King Aegon's call, cross the Bloody Gate, and head south to attack King's Landing.
Snakewood just happens to be empty now.
In fact, there was no war. The army was placed under the city, King Aegon was brought out to show, and then he vowed to guarantee the rights and interests of Earl Lynderly, and Snakewood opened the city gate.
At Snakewood, Second Stag met with Ser Justin's representative of the Allied Forces - Captain Windblown, Tattered Prince.
Well, kidnapping Aegon is what Tattered Prince suggested to Jaen.
Jaen agreed and the project was handed over to him.
originally thought that with Iron Throne, the five Wyverns could easily ambush Aegon, who knows...
Alas, the chaos of Westeros, the shameless of King of the Seven Kingdoms , all refreshed Tattered Prince's bottom line.
He just wants to hurry up and finish the mission and escape the world-class cesspool of Westeros forever.
......
Snakewood Outer Bay, a huge 500-ton cargo ship, accompanied by Aunt Mel and Ser Justin, by Iron Bank on behalf of Tycho The go-between, Second Stag, quietly meets the Tattered Prince.
"I know you, you're just a mercenary," Second Stag said coldly, staring at the tall, grey-white old man opposite, "What qualifications do you have to represent the Allies and the King of the Seven Kingdoms negotiation?"
Tattered Prince's huge eye bags rolled up, and a sharp look flashed in his blue eyes.
“First of all, there are 20,000 people in my mercenary group, which is twice your current strength. In a head-to-head battle, Windblown can beat four of you now.”
Second Stag Grit your jaw and start grinding your teeth.
The tall old man whispered softly and continued: "Secondly, I am the Alliance Leader of the Allied Mercenary Group Alliance.
Now in Meereen City, almost 100,000 mercenaries are all mine. Subordinate.
I'm short on time and my mission is heavy, so you don't have to worry about me chatting with you here."
Second Stag gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "What do you want? ? To state in advance that, in any case, Seven Kingdoms and I will not be involved in the war at Slaver's Bay."
Tattered Prince grinned laughter, "If we can win the war with the help of Westeros, there is no need for the Allies to exist. It's over."
Then, the tall old man's expression became serious, and he said seriously: "But you do have the key elements that will determine the outcome of the Slaver's Bay war, Aegon Targaryen!"
"You want Aegon?"
Second Stag's clenched upper and lower jaws also loosened in surprise, revealing a rare set of flat white teeth.
"You're trying to threaten Daenerys with Aegon? Are you dizzy?" he said contemptuously.
Tattered Prince glanced warily at the Red Woman beside him, and said: "Daenerys values family affection, Aegon is her only close relative, her love for him... You may not understand. "
"Unintelligible?" Second Stag creaked his teeth.
He remembered that dwarf had said the same thing.
—why, why, why even the crooked nuts thought he killed Renly?
"We hired the Sorrowful Men of Qarth to assassinate Aegon, do you know how Daenerys responded to this?
She rode a dragon that night to attack several thousands li, killing the Sorrowful who inherited the millennium The Men's organization was taken down - the whole street was turned into fire sea.
Qarth palace moaned in Dragonflame, merchant's wharf, warehouse, mansion was burned to white ground.
This is just the beginning, and then she...oh!"
Seeing the disapproving expression on Second Stag's face, Tattered Prince sighed then said, stopped, and said, "Forget it, We only need Aegon, whether we can make it or not has nothing to do with you."
"Aegon is my captive and cannot be handed over to you." Second Stag shook his head and refused.
Tycho stroked the slender goatee that hung down to his belly and said with a smile: "Stannis Your Majesty, you keep Aegon because he has a reserved value.
Maybe, Tattered Prince can offer a higher price."
Speaking, he turned his eyes to the tall old man, "Isn't it?"
Tattered Prince looked at Second Stag said: "The ransom you paid to Aegon was for the command of the True Dragon Alliance. Not to mention whether it got what you wanted, but before your men could take over those two armies, Iron Throne crippled them first.
Aegon's ransom is of little value to you, other than knocking him out of the King of the Seven Kingdoms campaign.
Why don't you return the ransom and sell Aegon to me , I'll pay you more realistically."
"You even know Aegon's ransom?" Second Stag asked with a frown.
"The Wyvern squad hired by Iron Throne is mine, so I know you have a tacit understanding with Iron Throne on Aegon."
"Theomore Lannister . ....." Second Stag gnashing teeth.
"You should have understood that Iron Throne's tacit understanding with you will be lost the moment Aegon is captured." Tattered Prince indifferently said.
"I can't give you Aegon."
"Why?"
"That would be against the law of Seven Kingdoms and would break my promise As a prisoner of war, Aegon has been cooperating with me in paying the ransom, and I must guarantee his safety and noble treatment."
Second Stag's expression was firm, without any hesitation.
Tattered Prince, with drooping bags under his eyes, said softly: "A fleet of 100 ships, an army of 20,000 people."
Second Stag frowned: "I will not put Aegon handed it over."
Tattered Prince thought of the infinite money buff that Iron Bank gave him, smiled lightly, gave up the idea of simply bribing him with money, and said: "You know that Cersei hired my Wyvern squad. The price?"
"What does that have to do with me?" Second Stag coldly said.
He doesn't like the serene of the other party very much, as if everything is under control.
It's like a wealthy old whore client looking at a stubborn, stubborn, purr who insists on performing arts and not selling herself, with experience and confidence. He spread his thighs.
He is the rightful heir to Iron Throne, the King of the Seven Kingdoms.
His life is arrogant, like a flawless white jade, and he will not tarnish the glory of oneself because of any interests! ! ! ! !
"Dragon Horn and a dragon egg!" The old client looked at the Second Stag with great interest and explained: "You are no stranger to dragon egg, the key is that Dragon Horn, named 'Dragonbinder', The Fourteen Flames family controls the Magic horn forged by dragon, and it is even easier to deal with Wyvern."
Second Stag's eyes widened, and he said incredulously: "Is there really such a strong horn?"
"One-handed delivery, one-handed delivery, and inspection on the spot." The old client's smile grew stronger.
"Euron is stupid? He has the Dragon Horn why not control the dragon in Daenerys, and control the Wyvern in Aegon and Tyrion?
With the Dragon Horn, why not hire the Wyvern squad?" Ser Justin looked suspicious.
"You think Euron doesn't want to? He's been dreaming of taking away the Daenerys dragon!
It's a pity that the horn is broken long ago, but we can fix it, and it's done." Old The client laughed said.
"Why didn't you use Dragonbinder to snatch Daenerys' dragon?" Second Stag wondered.
"How do you think Horn is so bad?" Tattered Prince shook his head with a wry smile, "That woman is a true dragon blood, and her innate talent is rare in ancient times, otherwise why would we have to pay so much to deal with her? "
"Dragonbinder can't control dragon..." Second Stag's thin face showed obvious disappointment.
"It's not that you can't control the dragon, it's that you can't control the dragon of Daenerys."
—what's the difference? Isn't she the only one in the world with dragons?
Second Stag's thin face clinging to his skull crumpled into a ball. After thinking for a while, he shook his head stubbornly and said, "The law is the law, the rules are the rules, I can't give Aegon to you— oh!"
At the end, he couldn't help but close his eyes and sigh, full of regret.
Tattered Prince remained calm and whispered, "After I got the horn, I went back to Slaver's Bay that day, asked High Priest Jaen to fix it, and went to Sothoryos Rainwood on the third day. One trip."
Speaking of this, he raised three fingers and waved in front of the Second Stag, "The number of Wyverns that each Dragon Horn can control is limited, we originally only had more than fifty Wyverns.
Now there are more Dragonbinders and thirty more Wyverns. At this time, those Wyverns are on the other side of the Narrow Sea. I was going to... alas, forget it.
They It's just over 800 kilometers away from you, complete the deal and you can add 30 Wyrmriders tomorrow!"
"Gods!" Ser Justin's eyes widened.
"Hi!"
Even Aunt Mel, who had been unperturbed all the time, couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air at this time.
"Ho ho ho..." Second Stag's face was thin and flushed, his throat was dry, and his mouth made inexplicable noises.
"Hehe, how's it going?" The old client smiled smugly.
