Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 706 Erlu's Choice

For politicians, anything can be sold, as long as the price is right.

Erlu admitted that he was tempted.

"Dragon horn, dragon eggs, thirty pterosaurs, are Aegon worth it?" he asked in disbelief.

"Alas!" The Ragged Prince raised his head and sighed, his expression extremely complicated, "You should ask—whether the victory or defeat of the battle at Slaver's Bay was worth the price.

After losing the war, all the tens of millions of golden dragons invested by the allied forces in the early stage were all in vain. It is almost impossible to form an allied army next time.

When we hide at home and lick our wounds, the Dragon Queen will come to the door one by one and beat us one by one, just like a nobleman riding a horse to hunt deer. "

Erlu shook his head and said, "What did you plan to do with the thirty pterosaurs? Obviously, no matter where they are placed, their influence on the battle situation is far greater than that of Aegon."

What arrangement?

I planned to lead 30 pterosaurs to blow up the Red Castle into ruins, unfortunately

The Ragged Prince couldn't help but think of Jenny's warning to himself: Never lead a pterosaur to attack the king on the Iron Throne, and it's best not to directly intervene in the Seven Kingdoms War, otherwise the Green Prophet will let you go and never return.

——Westeros is really a place where little goblins and unscrupulous people wait for a long time!

Sighing secretly in his heart, he shook his head and said, "No, three hundred pterosaurs are not as good as Aegon."

"Is there something wrong with your brain?" Erlu stared and said mockingly, "Even if Daenerys treats that fake nephew as her own son, she is not stupid. If she loses the war, she will have nothing."

The Ragged Prince smiled wryly, "The total number of pterosaurs is much higher than the number of pterosaur knights who can fight.

Pterosaurs are also rare in Sothoros, that's right.

Dragon knights who can control pterosaurs are even rarer.

It takes at least half a year to train a qualified dragon knight, and they must be carefully selected.

For example, dynamic vision, three-dimensional sense of space, reaction speed, physical coordination, religious devotion, and mental strength

Not everyone is eligible to become a reserve dragon knight.

Just like there are countless warhorses in Westeros, but there are very few legendary knights like Barristan and Arthur Dayne. "

"Tyrion, Aegon, and Sansa seem to have become dragon knights very easily." Erlu asked doubtfully.

"I've never met Sansa, but she's definitely not qualified. In the event of a dragon battle, any dragon knight in the allied army can kill her! Aegon is also reluctant, but Tyrion"

"That dwarf is very talented and has more than half a year of experience in dragon warfare. In the east of the Summer Sea, 'Little Green Devil Tyrion' is also very famous."

"So, it's useless for us to get the pterosaur?" Sir Justin frowned.

"No, our battlefields are different!" The Prince in Ragged Clothes said helplessly, "We need to deal with the dragon queen who controls the dragon. If the dragon knight doesn't have top-level skills and tactics, besides adding a bell to her braid, what can I do?" It doesn't work either.

Even pterosaurs are rare in Westeros. There is no need for dragon battles at all. If you can ride a dragon and throw kerosene bombs, you are qualified. "

"What are you going to do with Aegon?" Erlu said slowly.

The Ragged Prince frowned, "The deal is completed, Aegon has nothing to do with you anymore, why care about this?"

"I need to know how the allied forces will treat Aegon before I can judge whether to hand him over to you." Erlu insisted.

There was a hint of sarcasm in the blue eyes under the huge bags under the ragged prince's eyes, "You wouldn't be so naive, would you? Think we paid a huge price just to help him change his environment and continue to enjoy the king's treatment?"

"Will he die?" Erlu asked with an ugly expression.

"That depends on Daenerys' cooperation. Aegon's life means nothing to us, but the Allies must win." The Ragged Prince said lightly.

Erlu closed his eyes, not letting anyone see the fierce struggle in his heart.

Silence for a full 10 ​​minutes.

When Er Lu opened his eyelids, there was no more hesitation or struggle in Erlu's deep blue eyes, he stood up slowly and said, "I refuse."

After speaking, he turned and walked towards the hatch.

Aunt Mei smiled faintly and walked side by side with Erlu with graceful steps.

Sir Justin opened and closed his mouth, but in the end he didn't say any words of dissuasion, only sighed with great regret, and followed his lord.

The Iron Bank stands for transfixed.

The tattered prince, who had been holding the wisdom pearl all this time, completely lost his composure, his expression was distorted, his eyes were spitting fire, and he glared at Erlu's back.

After an embarrassing silence, he said quietly, "The Iron Bank treated him too favorably."

"He has a stubborn personality, respects the law, and is strict with himself, and everyone in the Seven Kingdoms knows it." Tai Chu said helplessly.

"Hmph, how did his brother Renly die, isn't it well known? He can persevere only because he still has hope.

Only the choice at the most desperate time can reveal a person's true nature! "The ragged prince said coldly.

Tai Chu heard that there was something in his words, and quickly asked: "What are you going to do? Stannis can't die, and he still has a debt of more than 400 million gold dragons from the Iron Bank!"

The corners of the ragged prince's mouth twitched a few times, and said: "Well, let him understand the determination of the allied forces. If he knows the current affairs, everything will be easy to handle, otherwise

The Allied forces invested more than 4000 million yuan in Slaver's Bay, and an additional 10% of the cost is nothing. "

"Your Majesty Stannis, I think you can reconsider. The final battle of Meereen is about to begin. Even if it is only to increase the odds of winning by 1%, the Allies will do their best and do whatever it takes."

Tie Jinku of course hoped that the Dragon Queen would be gameover, so as soon as the Prince in Ragged Cloths left, Tai Chu went into Snakewood City to lobby Erlu.

"Why are you trying your best?" Er Lu said coldly.

Tai Chu lowered his eyes, and said in a soft voice: "You know, the Ragged Prince has a lot of things to do in Slaver's Bay, and he only came to Westeros for one purpose.

For that purpose, he may do whatever it takes.

For example, offer higher conditions until you are satisfied, or "

His voice became softer and softer, "The 30 pterosaurs controlled by the dragonbinder's horn have not found their master, that's right.

But it is very easy to control the pterosaurs for simple aerial bombing. "

A stern look flashed in Erlu's eyes, and he said forcefully, "Let him try."

"Your Majesty, why bother? More friends, more pterosaurs; less friends, more enemies." Tai Chu persuaded.

"This is a matter of principle." Erlu looked firm, shaking his head and refusing.

"Oh, you can think about it again." Tai Chu reluctantly said goodbye.

"You're right, he's still hypocritical before reaching a desperate situation. He should be taught a lesson!" After leaving Snakewood City, Tai Chu sneered and handed the Prince in Ragged Clothes a chart.

Two days later, Erlu's fleet was attacked by a group of pterosaurs while crossing the Narrow Sea. Ten large-tonnage ships loaded with food sank to the bottom of the sea, and the five accompanying troop carriers were not spared either.

Nearly 4000 tons of supplies and [-] mercenaries were lost.

Word reached Braavos that no more mercenaries were going to Erlu's conscription points, and no more merchants were willing to risk going to sea.

"The route from Braavos to Snakewood City is too simple, just a straight line, and the pterodactyl knights can easily find the fleet." Tai Chu said to Erlu with a sad face.

Erlu's face was livid, and his teeth were gritting.

The 15 ships of the fleet sank into the sea, and there was too much movement. Everyone in Shemu City finally knew that the Allied Forces had negotiated with Erlu.

The meeting room of the flaming hearts nobles.

"Your Majesty, hand over the false king to the Allies, 30 pterosaurs!" Gaudi Falin blushed with excitement.

—— 30 pterosaurs, he will definitely get one of the giant killers, Dragon Knight!Perhaps, he should choose a black scale pterosaur and name it "Black Death Balerion".

"Your Majesty, we have no choice," Richard with a pockmarked face said helplessly, looking at the hesitant Erlu, "Our soldiers and rations are all stuck in the hands of the Braavosi, and Aegon's ransom—— really Dragon Alliance Command

Alas, Sir Davos lost contact, probably in an accident during the war.

Now the Iron Throne has a strong army, not counting Euron's sea monsters, there are more than 4 troops.

and you?

There are only 2000 soldiers under his command, of which [-] northerners are available, but they cannot be trusted.

8000 mercenaries should not be relied on.

Everyone understands that the credibility of mercenaries is directly proportional to the golden dragon in our hands and the superiority of the battle situation.

And the iron bank controls our source of income, Tai Chu's meaning is actually very obvious, you must accept the conditions of the tattered prince.

Perhaps, the conditions can be negotiated more generously.

If you refuse, the bombing of the sea ship will soon be repeated again. "

"I can't hand over Aegon, it's against the law"

Erlu struggled, and seemed to be murmuring unconsciously: "I judged Aegon as a king, and he is now the Duke of Harrenhal, legally my subject.

Because of his crimes, he will go into self-imposed exile.

If I hand him over to the Allies again, I will violate the laws of the Seven Kingdoms and betray my promise. "

The faces of the flaming and red-hearted jazz were distorted, and they really wanted to say loudly: "Fuck the law of the Seven Kingdoms, you are now against the king, and we are rebels!"

But they can't say it, and they dare not say it.

Suddenly, Gordy Falling had an idea, and said: "Exile Aegon immediately, and throw him on the other side of Braavos.

If he was captured by the Allies, he could only be counted as bad luck. "

"good idea!"

The pockmarked knight clapped his hands and laughed, and said, "Aegon has already paid the ransom, we should exile him immediately.

No need to send him to Braavos, just give him a ship and let him choose the place of exile. "

"Yes, arrange a boat for him."

Everyone agreed, and then looked at Erlu expectantly.

The room was quiet, Erlu's expression kept changing, and everyone's eyes were on him.

After struggling for nearly a quarter of an hour, Er Lu bent his back straight and slumped in the high-back chair. He waved his hands and said weakly, "Let me think about it."

The giant killer hesitated to speak, and finally left with a sigh. The rest of the knights and lords also followed his pace with complicated expressions.

In the middle of the night, the cold wind is howling outside, and the fireplace inside the house is burning, warm like spring.

After completing the magic routine as usual, Erlu stroked Aunt Mei's red hair and murmured, "I don't want to break my promise to Aegon and Sansa Stark, but the allies are so persuasive."

"What should I do? Can the Lord of Light enlighten me?"

——If the great R'hllor thinks this is Aegon's fate, then he can only grit his teeth and bear the guilt imposed on him by fate.

"Let's take a look together." Aunt Mei got up, took Erlu's big hand with distinct bones, and walked to the fireplace in a bare-faced manner.

Then, the two stared closely at the flickering red flame in the hearth.

Gradually, pictures began to appear on the opposite side of the flame.

If Erlu has realized something.
