Chapter 122 Mercenary Group
Less than half an hour after the three leaders of the Storm Crows left, the eunuch Belvos brought three men and one woman from the opposite camp. The men all had rough faces, shoulder-length curly black hair, tall and burly clothes, full beards, and gray-black plate armor on the outside of brown cowhide armor. They were very fierce.
But the three of them were dressed similarly, and Dany was a little blind.
But the woman made Dany's eyes light up. She had a high nose bridge, three-dimensional five-point, beautiful and heroic. She was about 1.75 meters tall and imposing, with slender and powerful limbs. A pair of long legs were wrapped in leather armor, round and solid, and her long red hair was as dazzling as burning flames under the torch.
Unlike the casual clothes of the Storm Crows, there were palm-sized blue rose patterns on the chests of the four people.
"All four are the leaders of the Rose Mercenary Group? The same status?" Dany frowned.
It is definitely easier to persuade one person to surrender than to persuade multiple captains to surrender. Sometimes one or two of them have ideas, but they dare not express them because they are afraid of their companions.
"I am the captain, and they are the captains. They want to come and see the dragon." The man with a centipede scar on the tip of his eyebrow frowned. His eyes swept back and forth on the unsheathed long sword on Dany's knees, and his frown became higher and higher.
Dany nodded, "Hello, I am Daenerys Targaryen. But the dragon is not here, I am afraid you won't see it tonight."
"That's a pity, I am the captain of the Rose Mercenaries, Jon Snow."
"What?" Dany couldn't hold it in and screamed in surprise.
Jon Snow came here?
But he looked good. She remembered that Jon in the TV series also had black hair and a beard, and he didn't look like a 15-year-old boy at all.
Well, Jon Snow is about the same age as Dany, and it seems that they were born in the same month.
Hearing Dany's exclamation, the four people on the opposite side were not surprised at all.
"Your Majesty, you heard me right. I am a Snow. My ancestors are from the North of Westeros. I have always followed the customs of the North." The bearded captain nodded and sighed with a complicated look.
Oh, by the way, his last name is Snow, and he is a bastard from the North.
This is meeting an old friend in a foreign land!
Dany deliberately said "Oh", disguising her previous gaffe as the surprise of meeting a fellow countryman, "It's rare to meet a Westeros person tens of thousands of miles away."
There are a lot of Snows in the North, and just like "Brandon" of the Stark family, "Jon" is too popular. For example, Robb has two younger brothers, one named Big Jon and the other named Little Jon.
In addition to the protagonist, there are probably dozens of Jon Snows in the North.
"Not one, all four of us have Northern blood." The red-haired woman smiled and interrupted, "My name is Lyra Umber, hello, Mother of Dragons."
"My name is Bruce Wayne, hello, Mother of Dragons."
"My name is Heman Talhar."
The two also introduced their names in turn.
Well, after meeting Jon Snow, that Batman can no longer impress Dany.
"Your Majesty, the Order of the Rose was founded during the time of Aegon the Conqueror. After witnessing the power of dragons and the might of His Majesty Aegon's army, King Torrhen Stark of the North decided to give up the crown of the King of the North and surrender to Aegon I.
But at that time, a large number of northerners did not agree with Torrhen's decision and chose to exile themselves.
In order to survive, those northerners who drifted to the other side of the narrow sea formed a mercenary group serving the major city-states, which is now the 'Order of the Rose'.
The emblem is the flower of the North, the blue winter snow rose." Barristan said slowly.
Torrhen Stark actually made a very wise decision. The other five kingdoms of the Seven Kingdoms surrendered. Aegon gathered the forces of the five kingdoms, which was several times that of the northerners, and the other side also had three dragons. There was no chance of winning at all!
But because he was the only king who surrendered without fighting, he was evaluated very badly in history. He was called "the surrendered king". In ancient China, he would probably be called "the obedient marquis" or "the Duke of Anle".
It is no wonder that a group of hard-headed northerners chose to go into exile.
"Is this the legendary 'fearless' Barristan?" Captain Jon carefully looked at the white beard beside Dany for a while, and said in shock: "Why are you here?"
"It is me, I am here to protect the real dragon!" The old man nodded slightly and said proudly.
Jon Snow's face changed again, and his companions around him talked in a low voice.
"Alas, your ancestors did not even want to surrender to Aegon. It seems that today's talks will not have any good results." Dany sighed.
Red-haired Lyra's eyes flashed, put down the wine glass and smiled: "Why is there wine but no meat? I'm still hungry!"
"During the war, I will not provide food and salt to people other than friendly forces." Dany looked at her and said steadily.
"It seems that I understood correctly. You put the unsheathed sword on your knees, which means you refuse to establish a guest relationship." Jon thought thoughtfully.
"Oh, it seems that you have not forgotten your roots." Dany said.
"But what's the point? Others may not understand what you mean." Red-haired Lyra said strangely.
"Etiquette and tradition have never been shackles imposed on others. I learn etiquette and understand traditions only to restrain myself and regulate my behavior." Dany said lightly.
Barristan, Jon Snow, Red-haired Lyra and others were shocked and moved when they heard it.
"Your Majesty, I'm very sorry, we can't break the contract. As you said, since we understand the tradition, no matter what others do, we must abide by it ourselves." After a long while, the bearded Jon said slowly.
His tone was much softer than before, and his attitude towards Dany was more respectful, and even the title changed.
Dany saw the regret and confusion on the faces of the other three people. After thinking for a while, she said, "I promised the 'Gis Alliance' in the afternoon that I would never attack your camp tonight. So at least we are not enemies tonight. Since we are all from Westeros, I will send you."
"How many people are there in the Rose Corps?" She turned her head and asked Belwas.
"300 cavalry, 500 infantry."
"Send Captain Jon 160 barrels of 'Great Wall Dry Red' so that all the northerners can have a drink." She said proudly.
"Great Wall Dry Red" is naturally a name made up for the northerners. The most famous thing in the North is the Great Wall!
According to its real effect, it should be called "Three bowls and you can't get through the post.
" The barrels containing "high-concentration white wine + sweet grape juice" are small-sized barrels of five liters each. 160 barrels are enough to keep 800 aliens who are seeing distilled white wine for the first time "staying up at noon."
"Great Wall. Red wine?" Red-haired Leila was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily: "We have the blood of our ancestors. Both men and women can drink a lot. I'm afraid 160 barrels are not enough!"
"It doesn't matter. Then add another 80 barrels. I hope you will be satisfied."
After the four members of the Rose Corps left, Barristan asked in confusion, "You planned to send wine to the Gis people before."
"Don't worry, we have enough wine."
About an hour later, the fat eunuch led the captain of the Second Sons into the wooden palace.
This time, it was finally a person who came.
The captain of the Second Sons, Mero, was a tall Braavosi who nicknamed himself "Titan Bastard". He had a pair of light green eyes and a long and thick red-gold beard.
Well, it was longer than Dany's braids, and the end of the beard almost reached his waist.
The Braavosi man with braids on his lips was very arrogant. After sitting on the chair, he drank the wine on the wooden table in front of him without saying a word. He burped disgustingly and smiled obscenely at Dany: "Silver Queen? Hehe, I remember fucking your sister in the brothel in my hometown, or was it you?
Show me your face, silver-gold hair, purple eyes, and plump... Damn, you can't be bigger than her even if you put on a thick iron shell. I recognized the wrong person. Sorry. But let's try now, hahaha."
In the wooden tent, whether it was Barristan, Belwas, or the Unsullied guards and centaurs, they were all full of anger, wishing they could rush up and kill the "Titan" with swords.
But Dany looked calm and smiled lightly: "Did I remember it wrong?"
"Uh, what?" Dany's attitude surprised the long-bearded man.
"In the story of the three thousand warriors defending Qohor, your Second Sons were very sensible and ran away. Why are you so stupid today?" Dany said coldly.
"Huh, that's an old story from many years ago? Now the Titan's bastard is leading the Second Sons!" Mero roared.
"So, you decided to lead 500 members to fight my 100,000 troops to the end?"
Well, as a Chinese, how can I not abide by the traditions of the ancient Chinese?
During the Battle of Red Cliffs, 70,000 people dared to shout "I have 800,000 troops", and Dany didn't even raise the banner of "200,000 troops", which was already humble enough.
Hearing Dany's threatening words, the big bearded man laughed.
"Little sister, do you want to surrender me?" He waved to Dany, who was sitting on a wooden chair opposite, and patted his thigh, grinning obscenely: "Take off the armor that's in the way, come and sit on my thigh, please me, satisfy me, and maybe I will consider bringing the Second Sons here."
"I will castrate you." Dany said coldly.
"Leader of the White Flag." Dany shouted.
"Here!" Grey Worm stepped out and knelt on one knee in response.
The flag used by the Unsullied is white with a few light gray strokes drawn on it, roughly in the shape of a dragon, symbolizing the pure and flawless dragon soldiers.
They are also qualified to use pure white because they will not rob or be strong, and can be called the most "honest" army in this world.
It should be explained here that in the world of ice and fire, the white flag does not represent surrender. Instead, the striped flag is a symbol of peace, and the defeated army can also raise the flag to surrender.
Well, it seems a bit difficult for the people of this world. They can't surrender with their underwear in a critical moment!
After all, white underwear is more hygienic and cheaper, and the most common.
But who would wear colorful striped underwear?
"Grey Worm, before launching the attack tomorrow afternoon, be sure to send a message to the entire army," Dany pointed at the big Braavosi man, her voice as cold as a cold spring, "regardless of enemy or friend, any soldier who kills a person with a beard longer than my braid will be made an earl and rewarded with ten thousand gold!"
"Yes!" Grey Worm was confused for a moment, but immediately responded expressionlessly.
"Hiss..." The Titan bastard took a breath of cold air, and the teasing and lewd look on his face instantly disappeared, and his expression became extremely solemn.
"This... Many people in the camp have long beards!" He forced a smile.
"It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go," Dany said with murderous intent, "I am the queen, I have plenty of money and vacant titles."
