Chapter 220: Alliances

Myr, one of the most advanced cities in the Free Trade Cities, is famous for its advanced craftsmanship and excellent technology.

Its origin is uncertain. As early as the Dawn Age, a mysterious nation established this town on the west coast of Essos. When the Valyrian Freehold expanded westward, a group of merchant adventurers conquered and enslaved the residents here, making it a vassal of the Empire.

After the fall of Valyria, Myr completely gained independence, but the period of independence did not last long. Volantis proclaimed himself the heir of the Empire and attempted to conquer other free cities. Its army once occupied Myr for about two generations.

Even after this period known as the Bloody Century, Volantis still had ambitions and kept looking for opportunities to invade the disputed land and attack Myr.

It was not until it formed a permanent alliance with Tyrosh and Lys, established the Kingdom of the Three Daughters, and gathered the strength of the three states to jointly fight against Volantis that peace continued to fall on this land.

However, if there is no external trouble in a country, there must be internal troubles.

The Kingdom of the Three Daughters lasted for about thirty years before it collapsed again. The three states returned, and they were hostile to each other, confronting and attacking each other until today.

Today, Tyrosh and Lys are on the verge of war. If it weren't for the fear and pressure from the Dothraki in the east, they would have gone to war long ago.

But this is still a bit far away for them, and they can't completely suppress their hatred. Both sides are trying to form an alliance with Myr, and Myr also has ideas.

At this moment, Governor Myr is meeting an unexpected visitor.

The visitor is fat, has a big round head, and his sparse hair is parted to cover his bald head. Even if he is wearing armor, he doesn't look like a warrior.

This look in the eyes of the Governor undoubtedly makes him look worse.

Because this person is Harry Strickland, the leader of the Golden Group who tore up the employment contract with Myr when the war was about to come.

But due to the strength of the Golden Group and his desire to sign a contract again, the Governor had to meet Harry in person.

This is the world. People are always tolerant of the strong or valuable. Even if they make mistakes or break their promises, they will find good reasons and excuses for them.

When they appear in front of him again, even if he feels disgusted, his attitude and words are respectful.

"It is an honor for Myr that the leader of the Golden Group can come in person. Please sit down!"

Harry listened and sat directly in front of the Governor with a smile on his face. On the contrary, the strong guards were a little nervous and looked serious.

"Excuse me, what is the reason for your request for this meeting?" Governor Myr asked with expectation.

"Of course I want to cooperate with Myr. Essos is not a peaceful place."

What he thought came true, but the Governor was full of confusion. He looked at the leader of the Golden Group in front of him again and again, and saw that he looked serious. He didn't seem to be joking.

"Then...then how should we cooperate?"

"Yes, cooperation, but not our cooperation."

Governor Myr was even more confused now. Didn't you say you wanted to cooperate with us first? They even began to wonder if Harry was crazy.

However, Harry had no intention of explaining for them. He still had a smile on his face and asked himself:

"The Dothraki have occupied the east of the continent. The Gith and Qarth were defeated by them and cried and begged for their forgiveness. Do you think there is any city-state in Essos that can resist their invasion?"

The governor was shocked. Was Harry here on behalf of the Dothraki?

The smile on his face was a little forced. He picked up the wine glass to hide his fear, but still pretended to say:

"The ambition of the Dothraki has aroused the vigilance of all free cities. Braavos is forming an alliance to resist the powerful enemy together. They promised to lend warships and..."

"You think too highly of Braavos and underestimate the Dothraki!"

Governor Myr was interrupted by Harry before he finished speaking. He stopped pretending and his attitude became tough at this moment. He sat sideways on the chair and said:

"I know that you intend to follow the way of the Bleeding Century and join hands to launch a long confrontation with the Dothraki.

But the Dothraki is not Volantis. It does not have the internal disputes of the Tiger Party and the Elephant Party. Internal troubles are an important reason for the failure of Volantis' conquest. The Dothraki people, they all surrender to the great Khal Mungo. Under the banner of the Lord of the Rings, they were willing to obey his orders and were eager to fight for him, even if they shed their last drop of blood.

Braavos, huh! How much did it contribute to calming the chaos of the Bleeding Century? It was just a hundred warships lent to the exiles of Lys.

It was Tyrosh, Pentos and the Storm King of Westeros who fought against Volantis on the west coast of Essos, and it was Norvos and Qohor who defeated Volantis in the upper reaches of the river, and it was Aegon Targaryen and his dragon who completely decided the outcome of the war!

After the war, Braavos became the most powerful and richest city-state in the East Continent.

This is the experience you should learn from the history of the Bleeding Century, and this is the fact you should be vigilant about. "

The sweat on the governor's face flowed down his forehead. He stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open, and stared at Harry.

The guards waiting on the side became nervous. They quickly stepped forward, drew their swords and looked at each other warily.

Harry pushed away the guard in front of him and continued to speak loudly:

"Braavos once pushed you to resist the rule of Volantis, and now it encourages you to resist the iron heel of the Dothraki, with such evil intentions.

Your Excellency, Governor, please be alert!

You know, if you face the Dothraki's iron hoof, the city will be breached, and you will be the one who suffers the massacre! "

After listening to Harry's words, Governor Mill approached him and asked cautiously:

"We understand your kindness. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Harry smiled and said in a soft and seductive tone:

"In the four centuries after the Doomsday Catastrophe, the Free Trade Cities frequently launched wars in disputed lands, causing this prosperous land to become barren. The great Khal prepared to establish a governor here to manage this land and make it important. Now brilliant.

The Lord of Tyrosh is greedy, the Governor of Lys is cowardly, and Myr is the most knowledgeable. You can become a place under the rule of Dothraki and swear allegiance to the great Khal. He will personally ennoble you as Dothraki. The Myr Governor of Rak, helps you gain sovereignty over the disputed lands. "

"Of course, you must obey Dothraki's decrees in the future and follow the instructions of the great Khal. If Dothraki troops and officials need to come, you must also go to the Holy City in person to meet with them. In addition, when necessary, you must serve Dothraki. Send out troops!"

The governor was trembling all over, but he couldn't make up his mind at the moment. The main reason was that he was not sure about the credibility of Dothraki. There was almost no difference between vassalage and surrender at this level, and his own safety was difficult to guarantee.

Seeing his appearance, Harry Strickland instantly showed an unhappy expression and said:

"If you don't want to, that's okay. The millions of warriors under my king's command don't mind expending a little effort to cut off a few more heads and gain more merits.

Loyalty to the great Khal will only bring benefits to Myr, without any harm. The strength of the Dothraki is unimaginable in your life. With the protection and support of the Empire, you can easily take over the entire disputed land.

The Dothraki just disdain to send troops. The great Khal has countless generals. As the leader of the Golden Company, I am only the most inconspicuous among them. If other generals come, they will immediately attack Myr and slaughter the entire dispute. There is no difficulty at all! "

Governor Mill was extremely frightened and said hurriedly:

"Sir Harry, please don't be angry. How can we not comply with your kindness and the kindness of the great Kaa? We just need to discuss with other members of the council how to thank you and when to go to see the great Kaa."

Next, Harry didn't push too hard, and the Governor didn't bring up the topic again. They just praised each other's achievements.

After Harry took his escort to rest, the Governor hurriedly summoned all members of the Myr Governor's Council.

"What should I do? Do you accept it or not?"

"Your Majesty the Governor, you must accept it!"

A member of parliament dressed as a wealthy businessman stood up quickly and said eagerly:

"The Dothraki control the three routes out of the Bone Mountains, and now they have captured the Jade Sea Gate. All trade routes to the Far East are in their hands."

"Promise them that we should immediately go to Dothraki and meet the great Khal in person to express our determination."

A local nobleman with olive skin, black hair and black eyes stood up and said seriously:

"If we don't agree, they will definitely contact Tyrosh and the Lysians. At that time, our enemies will use the power of Dothraki to destroy us."

However, there are some members of the parliament who do not agree with their views.

"Your Excellency, Governor, I cannot agree. The Dothraki are barbaric and the Horselords are warlike and cruel. Everywhere they go, cities are destroyed and people are killed.

The best way now is to send Harry Strickland out of the city respectfully, then delay time, send an envoy to Braavos for help as soon as possible, and at the same time build a fortress to guard against the Dothraki invasion.

In short, you must not be friends with the Dothraki. If you stay with them, you will be destroyed by them sooner or later. "

"Oh, nonsense. If you give up the friendship of Dothraki to other city-states, you will be destroying yourself!"

The members of the parliament had different opinions and quarreled. The governor sat in the chaos, frowning and thinking for a long time.

Early the next morning, Harry Strickland woke up and was about to go out when he saw Governor Mill waiting outside the door. He hurriedly walked forward and asked:

"Sir, what are you doing?"

"I have been here waiting for you to wake up. I have made a decision. I am willing to swear allegiance to the Dothraki. I am ready to let my only son go to the Holy City in person to meet the great Khal and stay by his side.

Myr will absolutely obey all the orders of the great Khal, and we are willing to provide the Dothraki army with five thousand specially crafted crossbows, as well as rations for ten thousand troops. "

Harry's hands trembled, he looked at the Governor of Myr in front of him, and pursed his dry lips:

"Five thousand special crossbows? Food for an army of ten thousand?"

Governor Mill seemed to have misunderstood something and said hurriedly:

"This is indeed a little less, but please don't blame the Great Kaa. After we regain the disputed land, we will definitely contribute more power to Dothraki."

Harry was stunned for a moment, then slowly said with a smile:

"Well, well, although the gifts are not much, they show your loyalty. The great Kaa will surely be very happy, and you and your son will surely get the rewards you deserve."
