Game of Thrones Overlord Conquest

Chapter 78 Human Heart Betrayal

At the meeting to determine the future direction of the Golden Company, other senior leaders had no feasible proposals at all. In the end, they unanimously decided to adopt the plan of the group leader Harry Strickland and try to find a new way out to the east bank of the Lorne River. ₆₉ₛₕᵤₓ.cₒₘ

Even if the mercenaries didn't know they were in danger of starving to death, they would have welcomed the opportunity to sack Volantis.

Because this can not only make up for their losses in this mission, but also prove that the Golden Regiment is still a powerful armed force after its reputation is discredited. No matter what, this is their army and their biggest support.

The Golden Company was stationed in the forest, waiting for the hope of the future. Harry Strickland took his cronies with him and flew towards the town of Velonthes without stopping, with footsteps like the wind.

Before they started to enter the town, just in time for Volantis to withdraw its troops, the entire open space outside the town was filled by slave soldiers. The dejection and listlessness that could be seen everywhere spread rampantly. Near the river bank, the slaves queuing up to board the ship even Unarmed with weapons and armor.

Harry Strickland didn't like the feeling that the town of Velonthes gave him at all. The Volantis treated slave warriors no differently than they treated defeated prisoners.

He hesitated for a long time before deciding to bribe his way into the town, arriving at the dock just before the last battleship left.

As soon as they entered the pier, they saw the "Taggled Prince" of the Wind Blowing Group, using high Valyrian in a smooth accent, giving an order to his subordinates: "Let's go now."

They were brought to the prince by the guards. Although the "Tattered Prince" had sad eyes and a very embarrassed face, he still couldn't help coughing muffledly after seeing the tired and weathered appearance of Harry and others from the Golden Company. Twice.

Then he pretended to maintain a superficial sense of etiquette, and sincerely asked them about the purpose of their trip and whether they needed his help.

However, Harry did not feel humiliated, and he replied sincerely:

"Your Excellency, we traveled day and night in the sand and the scorching sun, and arrived here hungry and tired. Is this how the Volantis treat guests? The Golden Company and the Wind Blowing Company suffered heavy losses in this mission. Could it be that The governors are all greedy and stingy, and they are not willing to pay even a small amount of compensation? "

Such sincere complaints immediately resonated with the prince, and he whispered softly:

"Have you not seen how the Volantis treat their slaves? If the Windblowers weren't still fighting for them, they would have imprisoned me long ago. You can board this battleship with me and go Volantis, make it clear to the Archon why you are here, but Harry, when did you learn to be reasonable and polite?"

Faced with the suspicion of the "Tattered Prince", Harry remained tight-lipped about his plans. He expressed his gratitude to the prince as if he had been truly trained in etiquette.

"If you don't want to say it, I won't force it. I just hope that your behavior will not cause trouble to me. Also, don't forget that our interests are the same."

After saying this, the prince ordered his men to take Harry and others onto the battleship and give them food and water, but they were strictly prohibited from carrying weapons or walking around on the ship.

Captain Harry stayed in that crowded battleship for a long time, and even though he was getting further and further away from where he really wanted to go, he did not make a sound.

More than once, he almost sneaked off the ship when it docked, but he did not dare to take this risk, because disembarking midway would definitely arouse the suspicion of the "Tabby Prince".

In fact, without this battleship, he didn't know where to find a boat to cross the river, so he could only wait helplessly.

Finally, after the sun completely set behind the horizon, the battleship finally arrived in Volantis. Harry said goodbye to the "Ragged Prince" on the dock on the grounds that he wanted to get in touch with the "Waterside Widow" at the Merchant's House.

The prince immediately became suspicious and sent his men to follow Harry and others. Soon, he overturned this guess. To his surprise, Harry actually went to see the "Waterside Widow" and received a warm welcome. entertain.

The Golden Company has been making a living in the disputed place. They have almost never accepted employment from Volantis, so they lack intelligence here and have no channels to go out of the city to meet the Horse King. Harry is unwilling to confess to the "Waterside Widow" , at the same time, he must also worry about being caught and exposed by the "Prince in Tagging".

After many twists and turns, he fell into an extremely discouraged situation, and his temper became much worse. Before he met Maguro, he even began to consider giving up all plans for the horse king.

At that time, he could hardly believe his ears. Finally he convinced himself that this was not an illusion. He went to a remote corner of the hall and had a long conversation with the red-robed monk.

With the help of Magiro, Harry was brought to Khal Menggo. The other party looked at him seriously and asked him many questions.

"Why did you and your Golden Company accept Volantis' employment? Didn't you reject Malachor before?" Kaa asked.

"We do not want to fight for Volantis, nor do we want to be your enemy." Harry replied: "This is all because of Illyrio Mopatis, the governor of Pentos, who promised to take us back Home."

Then, Harry told the story of the Golden Company's history and Illyrio's plans without reservation.

"Tell me this, what do you want to do now?"

"You defeated Drogo, who was feared by Illyrio. He only had fifty thousand warriors, but you had one hundred thousand. I can't think of anyone more powerful than you in this world. Only you can do so much for the Golden Company." What neither iron nor black fire can do, bring us home."

"But this doesn't fully protect your interests. Do I need more reasons to trust you?"

Harry closed his mouth, thought for a long time, then gritted his teeth and replied:

"I dare not believe Illyrio because I accidentally learned that he had a secret agreement with the former captain, Mistoin, but no one ever told me about this agreement after I took over as the captain."

"Are you suspecting that they have reached an agreement with other high-level officials of the Legion and are manipulating the Golden Company behind their backs?"

"Yes, the top brass, headed by intelligence officer Ransono Mar, have been deliberately targeting my reputation. Moreover, Griffin, the right-hand man of the former regiment leader Mis Toin, was exiled before Mis was about to die. If he hadn't left, I wouldn't have become the new leader. Many of the reasons are ridiculous. Griffin was a man who pursued honor, but he was expelled for stealing and died drunk in Reese."

"Your guess is correct. Stealing is a lie, and death is also a lie. Those who died heroically will be remembered, but those who are thieves, drunkards and cowards will be avoided by everyone and will soon be forgotten, Gerry. Fen's dishonorable death deceived everyone."

Having said this, Meng Ge, who came from another world, immediately encountered a lot of secret information.

When Illyrio was young, he and Varys made a living together. Now, Illyrio is the wealthy merchant governor of Pentos.

And Varys is even more amazing, nicknamed "Spider". He currently sits on the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros and is the Intelligence Director of the Royal Council. He is a well-known spy leader. He relies on countless secrets and intelligence to secretly manipulate and maintain Order and balance among the various forces in the Seven Kingdoms.

Griffin, this is a pseudonym, his real name is Jon Currington, he is the elder brother of the Targaryen brothers and a close friend and follower of Prince Rhaegar.

When the Iron Throne fell, he fled to Essos with the baby switched by Varys, Prince Rhaegar's son Aegon Targaryen. He dyed his and the child's hair blue, pretending to be Aegon's father, waiting for Varys and Illyrio's plan to restore the kingdom.

The plan that Harry confessed to was part of a conspiracy between Varys and Illyrio to allow the Targaryen bloodline to regain the Iron Throne.

Although Mongo doesn't know whether the Targaryen they support is Daenerys or Aegon, after all, they have not admitted it personally, but he knows that if Harry does not come to see him, the Golden Company will be part of Illyrio's plan After suffering many setbacks, he finally chose to swear allegiance to Aegon.

"great!"

Mongo stood up, walked to Harry Strickland with a smile, and said:

"If you agree, I am willing to accept your allegiance. Of course, this refers to you alone. If you can fully control the Golden Company and lead them to swear to me, there will always be a place for the Strickland family by my campfire. "

"I do."

Harry became much more relaxed. He kept playing with his thinning hair and looked very happy. Moreover, he seemed to regard himself as a member of the horse herd. He hesitated and suggested:

"Great Khal Mungol, please allow me to offer you a precious gift. I wonder if you will marry Daenerys Targaryen. She will make your claim to Westeros more legitimate." Sex, of course, you may not need, but I assure you, she is very beautiful."
