Dominate the Game of Thrones with Mount and Blade

Different from the ordinary silver plate armor that Arthur wore before, this set of armor is much more refined.

The iron helmet is a standard pig-mouth helmet, but the sharp corners are made to look like a dragon's mouth, and spikes are added to the top and sides. Looking from a distance, the iron helmet actually looks a bit like a dragon's head.

The breastplate, arm guards, hanging legs, iron boots, etc. are embossed with large patterns. In addition to the three dragons that are the logo of the Targaryen family, there are also various dragon patterns.

"I love this golden armor so much." Arthur declared loudly, giving his wife Margaery a deep kiss.

Lord Dondarrion had previously promised to make him a set of golden plate armor to match the golden armor of Arthur's giant red horse, but Lord Beric had died.

The king's mood raised the atmosphere of the wedding banquet, and many people toasted to celebrate.

"My dear, as long as you like it."

The bright and charming Margery smiled coquettishly at her husband, as if they had a deep relationship.

What followed was the normal gift-giving process. River people, northern nobles from the Stormlands, and the Dornish delegation all sent their own gifts, ranging from rare books and gorgeous clothes to aged wine and pure gold ornaments. Among them, the most noteworthy ones were It was a gift from Sunspear, a gold-plated spear.

Prince Oberyn, who was wearing a yellow brocade robe, caught the spear in front of the main seat, "Your Majesty, originally we thought of making all the spears gold, but the gift to the king should not be a decoration, so we made it gold-plated. . This gun can be used as a normal weapon."

The face of this Prince of Dorne is melancholy and affectionate, and he looks like a sentimental person at first glance.

Arianne, the princess of Dorne, followed him and saw Arthur talking to her uncle, so she winked at her lover.

Arthur ignored the plump beauty who came to his room every night for late-night snacks. Instead, he stood up and walked down from the main seat, taking the spear with his own hands.

"The friendship between the Iron Throne and Dorne is like a gift you gave me..."

Arthur just wanted to use this gun to make something, but found that it was unlucky to use weapons as a metaphor for friendship, but he couldn't think of a good word, so he hesitated for a long time and started the conversation with another thing.

"You came at the right time. Most of the seats in the Royal Council have been confirmed. I finally saved a seat for you Dornishmen."

Prince Oberyn, nicknamed the Red Viper, nodded, "I wonder what your Majesty wants me to do for you?"

Since the marriage between the Targaryens and Martell, Dorne has been a loyal supporter of the Iron Throne, and they must have their place among the courtiers.

"Chancellor, I want the prince to settle our accounts."

Arthur's real idea is to make the calculating Tyrion the finance minister. This is also one of the ways to win over the hearts of the nobles in the West.

Therefore, the only position left for the Prince of Dorne is Chief of Intelligence, but this position has a poor reputation, so I can't say it directly.

"As we all know, under the influence of the evil bachelors, the vast majority of nobles are not calm in calculations. The difference between them and the common people is that they can barely count the number of golden dragons. I heard that you have created several bachelor's medals in the school city. Necklace ring, I think it will be qualified for this job."

Arthur explained with a smile.

This is true. The entire aristocratic class is not very willing to settle accounts. They think this is what bachelors and servants should do.

The former finance minister, Littlefinger Petyr Baelish, was appointed as a courtier because of his good accounting and the recommendation of Lord Jon Arryn.

Otherwise, with Uncle Finger's background, it would be difficult to be the customs supervisor of Seagull Town.

"If you want me to settle accounts, why don't you let me be in charge of the King's Landing garrison? At least I am very happy to manage Littlefinger's property. I heard that his accounting institute costs one hundred gold dragon coins at a time. I just want to see if the women there are studded with diamonds. It's still gold-plated on the butt."

The Red Viper took the wine glass handed over by the servant, took a sip and replied.

This man also doesn't drink or have sex, and he hangs around the Institute of Design whenever he has nothing to do. He should have a lot in common with the little devil.

As for Petyr Baelish's estate, it includes most of the planning houses in King's Landing, although only one planning house named Shattaya belongs to the Baelish family.

"But the commander of the King's Landing Guard has already been selected. Lord Tristan Legg of Willow City is happy to manage that group of First Men soldiers. I assume you are not familiar with them?"

Arthur I pretended to be embarrassed.

The Red Viper smiled evilly, "Your Majesty, just tell me what seats are left that don't need to be settled. I think I can do it even for the Grand Bachelor, as long as the cardinal of the city agrees."

Seeing him like this, the king replied: "That is the intelligence chief, although this position does not have a good reputation."

Prince Oberyn nodded, "As the intelligence chief, it's normal for me to go to the Institute of Planning to collect information, right?"

He laughed at himself, and the Dornishmen's seats were decided.

Then the Red Viper turned behind him and introduced his beautiful niece to Arthur I. "Although I think you two are already familiar with each other, I still want to introduce you. This is the first heir to the Prince of Dorne, Arianne. ·Nameros Martell."

The Dorne princess cooperated with her uncle and pretended to meet the Lord of the Seven Kingdoms for the first time.

"May you live long, Your Majesty! I am Arianne."

The Red Viper then continued: "As we all know, the Targaryen family has always been closely related to our Martell. Since you have already married two wives, you don't care about marrying another one. If my niece is willing, you still Available for the next wedding."

Arthur glanced back to make sure that the little rose was not too close, and then whispered: "Although I am willing, Arianne once told me that she wanted to inherit Dorne. If Prince Doran is willing to become my wife, If Arianne succeeds you as the Prince of Dorne, I will actively cooperate with you."

Among the three women Arthur has now, Sansa is the most loyal to him, Margaery is because of her status, and Arianne is just together because it feels good.

Moreover, Arianne often drinks the contraceptive moon tea and has a strong sense of self-management, making her much easier to take care of than Sansa and Margaery.

So Arthur still has a deep affection for her.

Arthur wouldn't mind marrying her if the Dornish people would recognize her as their heir.

But if the Martell family feels that the married woman cannot inherit, the king will not delay Arianne's affairs.

At most, they can work together for a few years and then let go. Maybe they can continue to be lovers in the future.

Prince Oberyn looked at his niece and asked, "Is this what you mean?"

The Princess of Dorne, who was wearing a light yellow dress, nodded slightly, "Yes, I am the future female prince of Dorne first, and secondly the marriage tool of the Martell family."

Her interest in becoming Queen came second to becoming the Prince of Dorne.

Red Viper nodded, "I understand, my brother has to make the decision on this matter, just wait for his order."

After preliminary finalizing the seats in the Royal Council and Arianne's marriage, the Red Viper left with his niece.

Of course, Arianne bowed to the king before leaving, and pressed her child tightly against the king's chest.

"Your bride will probably not last long. I will still come to you in the evening to share Queen Margaery's worries."

The Princess of Dorne said.

Next is Melisandre and the representative of the Baratheon family, Ser Axel Florent.

Since the king did not want to deal with Baratheon and Storm's End in a formal occasion like the Royal Council for the time being, he only received the couple during the gift-receiving session at the wedding banquet.

Melisandre is a middle-aged and beautiful woman who still retains her charm. She has a heart-shaped face, red eyes, copper-red hair, and an astonishing heat wave emanating from her body.

This red-robed witch does not need to eat like a mortal, and can meet the energy needs only by relying on the Lord of Light. She claims to have spent "countless" years developing her abilities, so it's possible she's older than she looks.

"I want to know what Lady Selyse thinks of the Iron Throne and House Baratheon. Does she think her late husband Stannis is still the king?"

Arthur I asked the two.

Axel Florent, who represents the Baratheon family, has already expressed the attitude of his force on the flag.

The burqas worn by the soldiers he brought had changed from the flag of the crowned deer with flaming hearts to the flag of the galloping stag.

House Durandon of the Kingdom of Storms once used the banner of the Crowned Stag. Later, Oris Baratheon inherited the coat of arms of Storm's End and the family, that is, the Baratheon family used the banner of the Crowned Stag.

But the crown has a very strong meaning. During the Targaryen Dynasty, the Baratheon family was the most powerful Dragon Party family and was close to the Iron Throne. It was natural to use it in this way. However, after experiencing the Usurper War, the Deer family There will be problems if you use Crowned Stag again.

So Axel, who came on behalf of Storm's End, changed his flag to a galloping stag, and the crown's place became two large antlers.

"Your Majesty, after my persuasion, Lady Selyse no longer thinks that Stannis is the king. The Lord of Light reminded me in the flames that the king with black eyes is the true king, and he will weaken most of the gods. , enhance the power of the King of Light."

R'hllor, the Lord of Light, often bestows prophecies upon his followers in the flames, and the precious prophecies become clearer as the objects burned.

The fire with which the Black-Eyed King put the blood of the gods was made by burning a weirwood.

The weirwoods of Storm's End have survived for more than 8,000 years, and have been planted in the castle's godswood since Brandon the Builder built Storm's End.

The weirwood is the source of power of the old gods. The power that such an eight-thousand-year-old weirwood brings to the Lord of Light may be comparable to burning the blood of a king.

Unlike other red monks with prophecy, Melisandre completely believed in her interpretation of the prophecy. She had always firmly believed that the picture R'hllor showed her was about to happen.

Among the recent kings, only Arthur I had black eyes, so the red robe witch took it for granted that the King of Light was reminding her that Arthur was the reincarnation of the savior.

Coincidentally, the owner of the Iron Throne happens to have a dragon, which corresponds to the dragon in Azor Ahai's awakening stone.

Axel Florent on the side echoed: "That's right, our duchess has realized her late husband's mistake and sent us to surrender to the Iron Throne."

Arthur, who had returned to the main seat, shook his right index finger, "Sending people to express surrender is not enough. The Baratheon family and the Lannister family were the worst behaved as usurpers. You must accept the punishment of the Iron Throne. "

The king pondered for a moment. He had not yet decided how to punish Storm's End, but he did want to make a statement now.

The sudden news eased Arthur I's embarrassment.

Lord Randyll Tarly and Lord Tristan Legg, commander of the King's Landing garrison, quickly walked to the main seat, and the latter reported to the king in a low voice:

"The Peake family launched a rebellion. In view of your wise decision, they cannot take action near the Red Keep. They can only attack the Dragon Lair. It seems that they are preparing to capture or kill His Highness Alduin."

Arthur I stood up and said loudly: "I knew something would happen at the wedding. Gather the soldiers and go and overthrow the rebellious family."

What was coming had to come. As long as nothing happened in the Red Castle, the king would be satisfied.

The Peake family had only 1,500 soldiers and could not make any big waves.

Although the nobles who participated in the wedding banquet were surprised by the explosive news, a large number of adult men expressed their willingness to put on armor and fight for the king.

Whether they were willing to fight or not was one thing, and expressing their opinions in front of the king and courtiers was another.

The nobles who were good at acting would naturally not miss the opportunity to make the superiors remember them by just talking.

So the nobles present and the soldiers inside and outside the Red Castle began to act.

Arthur also put on the golden plate armor given by Margaery on the spot. He ordered his personal servant Medan to fetch the golden cloak that Sansa had given him, and with the golden sword, they formed a set of imperial costumes, ready to quell the rebellion.

…

South of Essos, East City of Volantis.

East City is surrounded by a two-hundred-foot-high elliptical wall. When Volantis was just an outpost of the Freehold, the Black Wall was built by the Valyrians and is also a type of Valyrian black stone architecture.

The wall is so thick that six carriages pulled by four horses can move side by side.

The residents of the Black Wall call themselves "ancient blood" because their ancestors can be traced back to the ancient Valyria era. Unless invited by the residents living inside, no outsiders, free men or foreigners are allowed to enter the Black Wall.

At this moment, hundreds of white-haired Volantis nobles are gathering in the square in front of the Council House, and at least three times as many slaves are carrying the nobles. The tradition of Volantis is that the nobles cannot touch the ground.

In the sky above the group of people, three dragons are circling.

"Gods, the glory of Valyria can finally be restored."

"The giant dragons that have not been seen for more than a hundred years have been born again, which means that our free fortress will rise again."

"These should be the three dragons of Daenerys, the mother of dragons? I heard that she abolishes slavery, but she is not the same as us."

"As long as the dragons are in hand, no matter what her position is, besides, isn't a beautiful female dragon king better? She is an excellent marriage partner."

After hearing that a giant dragon appeared in the sky, this group of people took various cars to watch and exchanged views with each other.

Finally, in the expectant eyes of this group of inexperienced harbor nobles, three dragons began to land on the ground one by one, and then a beautiful woman with purple eyes and silver hair climbed down from the back of the largest dragon.

The face of this woman was so beautiful that the nobles of Volantis ignored her slightly dusty face and the bag in her hands.

"I am Daenerys Targaryen, Stormborn, the Unburnt, Queen of Meereen, Breaker of Fetters... Freed of Slaves, King of the Andals, the First Men, and the Rhoynar."

Without a maid, Dany had to say the long list of names herself.

Then she saw the slaves carrying the nobles, and ordered: "I command you to provide me with some food and fresh water as soon as possible."

She wanted to order the nobles to release the slaves now, but then she thought of the few soldiers around her, so she held back.

A few minutes later, a noble carried by ten slaves stood out and introduced himself to Dany:

"I am Dophas Panemion, one of the archons here, and I welcome the Dragon Queen to the greatest city in the world, Volantis."

He waved his hand gently, and the four slaves following him presented large bags of food and cowhide water bags.

"Although we don't know why the Dragon Queen came here, we have generously met your request. I wonder if the Dragon Queen can give me a favor and go to our Consulate to meet the ruler of Volantis?"
