Game of Thrones Overlord Conquest

Chapter 96 The passing time

Illyrio listened to Harry's heavy voice as he described the involvement among the nobles of the seven kingdoms of Westeros and the process in which they drove the Targaryens from the Iron Throne during the Usurper's War.

The governor certainly knew the whole story, but Illyrio would be astonished when the captain began to analyze the alliance between King Robert's Baratheon family and other houses, as well as the population and fertility of the territories controlled by each other. His eyes turned to Harry.

He was not confused about how the leader knew this information, because the Golden Company was known as the most powerful, famous and expensive among the major mercenary groups in Essos. With the support of its powerful armed forces, It had five hundred knights.

These knights are not ordinary cavalry recruited and trained. They are an important part of the military tradition of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, and their social status is between lords and commoners.

After being canonized as a knight, you can use the title of "Sir" and enter the aristocratic class. Only then can you be eligible to participate in martial arts tournaments, inherit fiefdoms, and participate in aristocratic activities.

Therefore, the five hundred knights not only brought an increase in combat effectiveness, but these knights who continuously fled from Westeros also brought a lot of current news about the Seven Kingdoms to the Golden Company.

What surprised Illyrio was that Harry was able to discover the essence of the problem, and the Governor decided never to underestimate him again.

As for the process of the Usurper's War in history, it is a long story, full of intrigues, betrayals and sacrifices of loyalty.

Although Harry kept his words as short as possible, by the time he finished speaking, the sun was already high in the sky and the morning ended with his words.

At this point in the story, Illyrio was silent for a moment, sighed, and said:

"This can't help but remind people of Prince Rhaegar's high-spirited look. Maybe it was the will of the gods, or maybe it was just luck. In short, so many brave nobles and generals gathered at that time, and nearly 100,000 troops faced off with clear banners. The Gillian family was defeated."

"Now with only ten thousand warriors of the Golden Company, we can start a war, and the door of Westeros will be closed to us from now on."

"We need to wait for an opportunity." Harry said solemnly: "We need more troops and allies, otherwise we will eventually suffer defeat."

Illyrio listened to these words carefully, nodded in agreement, then frowned, thought for a while, and said:

"You are right, but what is very regrettable is that even if Viserys knew this story, he would feel that it was disrespectful and humiliating to him."

"You don't know the king well enough. He is an impatient, delusional man who ignores reality. He has always refused to accept the reality of the decline of House Targaryen after Robert Baratheon seized the Iron Throne."

"We need a champion to destroy Viserys' illusions once and for all. How about Tristan Rivers? The king now favors this man more than anyone else."

Of course Harry understood what Illyrio meant. The more truth someone valued, the more it would sting the king's heart, but there was no doubt that this man would completely offend Viserys.

He looked at the governor again, with an impatient look in his eyes, and asked loudly:

"Sir Illyrio, I told you not to test me again. If you want Sir Tristan to come forward, go and tell him personally."

Illyrio smiled at Harry, then he looked around and took a step forward, as if every tree and plant might overhear what he said.

He leaned close to the leader's ear and whispered:

"Dear Harry, don't be so resentful. We should let go of the misunderstanding. If old grudges are repeated here, then it is better to dissolve this cooperation."

Seeing the other party nodding silently, he continued:

"Please wait patiently for a while. I will give Viserys a reason that cannot be refused. Coupled with your analysis of the situation in the Seven Kingdoms, the king will compromise."

Upon hearing this, Harry glanced at Illyrio meaningfully. He felt that the Governor had no way to solve this unexpected situation, at least not yet.

It should be Varys, the intelligence chief of the seven countries mentioned by Khal Menggo. The governor's partner would play some tricks behind the scenes, but he did not continue to say anything.

Later that day, the Golden Company members held a small meeting in the leader's room. Some of the senior leaders will leave the city and return to Velvet Hills to preside over the daily work of the group. The leader will continue to stay in Pantos, waiting for and The Governor negotiates employment contracts.

During this period of time, Harry would always talk to Viserys about the past glory of the Targaryen family and the current situation of the Seven Kingdoms. Whether it was a good future or a bad future, he would explain it to him.

The power of history and reality slowly came into play, and the king's initial ambitions and delusions subtly melted and subsided, but they were temporarily unable to affect his final decision.

And Princess Daenerys would always appear in front of them on time, listening carefully to every conversation and suggestion.

The days passed like this, with sunny mornings every day and clear skies and cool weather every night.

The governor's maester said that this year is about to end, and the long summer may be coming to an end. The fiery red light will slowly be replaced by silvery white light, and the cold and biting west wind will blow from the Narrow Sea.

The bright moon bloomed brightly in the sky, covering up other stars, but in the north, there was a red star that was getting brighter and brighter, and even the moonlight could not hide its edge.

Harry could see the star every day, like a fiery red sword fresh from the forge, slaying the seasons of the world.

The leader of the Golden Company lived in the governor's mansion for almost half a month, and Illyrio refused to reveal his true plan to Harry.

As the news spread throughout Pentos that Governor Odro, who opposed the employment of the Golden Company, was poisoned by mushrooms at the banquet.

This year also follows the disappearance of the raven's wings and enters 298AC.

Soon after, Illyrio summoned three people for a gathering in the secret room. He looked at Harry with a worried look on his face and said:

"The time has come."

Immediately, he pointed to the other two people and introduced:

"This man is Baian Fortilis, a merchant leader from Norvos. His caravans often travel from Pentos to Vaes Dothraki's market for trade."

"This is Jorah Mormont. He was once the Earl of Bear Island in Westeros and the head of the Mormont family. He is now a hedge knight. He has been active in the Free Trade City and Vaes Dothraki. , understands the Dothraki language and is familiar with their customs.”

Baian Fotilis was short in stature, with skin as old as old leather, and a blue beard that went up to his ears. He bowed deeply to Harry very respectfully.

Jorah Mormont is a middle-aged man with dark skin and thick hair. Although he is a bit bald, he is still strong and strong. His face is not particularly handsome, but more honest, and he does not look too handsome. Love talking to people.

He didn't say hello to the leader, but Harry decided that the other person was not an obedient person.

Happy Dragon Boat Festival to everyone! I got off work late and just got out of work. I can't say enough about the Dragon Boat Festival. After working for such a long time, I had to wait for six days of rest and the Dragon Boat Festival. As a result, I only had one day off on Monday and was called back to work. The Dragon Boat Festival holiday was also wasted and I had to work overtime. You can take a rest after the Dragon Boat Festival.
