Of course, half of the mercenaries' loyalty to Daenerys was due to superstition, but the other half was due to strength.

Daenerys' own personal charm, Pantos' rapid development and wealth in a short period of time, and the strength of the Dragon God Church, all told these mercenaries that Daenerys has a lot to do and is not short of money.

What are you waiting for?

The first batch of mercenary groups such as the Wind Crow Group, the Storm Crow Group, the Second Son Group, and the Pike Group, who worked purely for money, responded to Daenerys’s call. Other small mercenary groups followed suit and are now willing There are so many people who have joined Daenerys to the point where Daenerys has to send someone to the selection.

After all, they are mercenaries. Not only are there uneven staff, but many small mercenary regiments or individuals simply can't adapt to a disciplined army and a large regiment that requires a lot of cooperation.

However, Daenerys's army was greatly inflated by this.

However, among these mercenary groups, the most difficult to subdue is the golden group.

Because, since the creation of the Golden Group, they have always had considerable hostility towards the Targaryen family. How could such a mercenary group join Daenerys' camp?

In the free trade city-states, the Golden Group is regarded as the largest, most famous and most expensive mercenary group. Although mercenaries have always had a reputation for being capricious, the most honorable thing about the Golden Group is that they never break their contracts. Their motto is "Words are like gold."

This mercenary group has more than 10,000 well-trained fighters. Although the number is not as large as Daenerys's Dothraki fighters, it can be regarded as the power that can determine a large-scale battle.

However, Daenerys was quite confident in conquering the Golden Group, because she had obtained secret information about the Golden Group from Ye Ting and learned the origin of the Targaryen hatred of the Golden Group.

The original founder of the Golden Group was "Han Tie" Yi Ge Hewen, who was the legalized illegitimate son of the "Yong King" Aegon IV of the Targaryen Dynasty, that is to say, he was also a Targaryen. In a battle for the throne called the Black Fire Rebellion, Yi Ge Hewen was on the wrong side, and finally had to take his allegiance to the descendants of the Targaryen royal family into exile in Essos and established the Golden Group. Because of this, the Golden Group has been against the Targaryen family for more than 100 years.

However, although the founder of the Golden Group, Yi Ge Hewen and Daenerys’ ancestors are in opposing camps (Daenerys is of course the descendant of the winner in the throne battle), but now the Targaryen family is in the seventh The rule of the country is still overthrown. What is the contradiction between them?

In any case, the dragon is the dragon.

However, in addition to these people, the most powerful force drawn in this sword-drawing ceremony also belongs to the ruler of Dorn, one of the seven nations, the Martell family.

The Martell family, in fact, can be regarded as a helping hand to the door.

Because the hatred between them and Robert, the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, is too deep.

The Martell family can be regarded as a nobleman who attaches great importance to family affection. In Robert's rebellion, the princess of the Martell family and the princess of Prince Rega were completely raped and killed, and even her child was thrown to the ground.

However, the murderer who caused all of this, the Lannister family was immediately reused after Robert became king. The Lannister family itself was the guardian of the West. At the same time, the Lannister family’s daughter Cersei became After the queen, her brother James became the Royal Guard, which means that unless the current king is overthrown, the Martell family will have no chance of revenge.

Daolang Martel, the old and cunning owner of the house, could only forbear his sister's hatred and stayed dormant all the time.

Now they have endured it long enough. Although Prince Regar ignored the existence of his original partner and was jealous with Robert, which led to a later rebellion, the Martell family was quite dissatisfied with Targaryen, but after all, they and Targaryen The family has the friendship of marriage for generations, and now Daenerys is the only power capable and willing to overthrow King Robert's rule.

Joining Daenerys's side is also the best choice for the Martell family to avenge their grievances.

In addition, Daenerys also needed the existence of the Martell family.

After all, if she was going to counterattack Westeros and attack the Seven Nations, she would have to cross a strait from the mainland of Essos.

The existence of the Martell family can give them a suitable place for the army to land.

Of course, when negotiating a secret agreement with "Red Viper" Oberon Martell, the Martell family's request for Daurang's son, Quentin Martell and Daenerys to marry, was strictly rejected.

It was the Dragon God Pope Melisandre who knew about the relationship between Daenerys and their divine envoys, and Daenerys herself was inconvenient to speak—it would be very slapstick for the woman to refuse in person.

However, for an alliance like Martell that has not directly become a subordinate, but only depends on secret agreements, there are no hostages or secret agreements as a link. How can trust be maintained?

Finally, after seeing the divine envoy Ye Ting, Oberon had an idea.

He suggested that his niece, Arianne Martell, claim to be converted to the Dragon God, and then join the Dragon God Church as a saint serving the gods.

In this way, the alliance is considered strong, after all, the envoy will never deceive mortals (haha).

Item 0175

The Garden of Flowing Water was the private residence of the ruler of Dorn. It is a palace composed of fountains and gardens. It is located by the beach three leagues (a unit of length) west of Yangji City, the capital of Dorn, separated by a coastal road.

Prince Malone Martel built this garden as a gift to his Targaryen bride, marking the union of Dorn and the Iron Throne. The balconies here overlook the numerous pools and fountains, the blood orange trees cast shadows, the pale pink marble floor covers the gardens and courtyards, through a row of carved beams and columns, through elegant arches.

Autumn here is very hearty. The day is hot and the night is cool. There is a salty wind blowing from the sea, and there are fountains and pools. There are also many children here, boys and girls from noble births. Noble families and families from all over Dorn and all walks of life will send their children to the running garden to raise their children. Here, children can play together in the beach, pool, and fountain.

Today, however, the atmosphere in this garden is not very pleasant.

A quarrel is about to occur here.

On both sides of the quarrel, one was the ruler of Donne, Doran Martel, who was a cautious and quiet man who never exposed his emotions. He has severe gout and has difficulty walking. He is nearly fifty years old, but looking at his white hair and wrinkles at the corners of his forehead and eyes, it is not surprising that he is considered to be an old man in his sixties or seventies. Years of illness and the pain and hatred of his sister's tragic death by the enemy's hands have made him old to this day.

The other party who quarreled with her was his eldest daughter, Arianne Martel.

Arianne was plump and beautiful, with olive skin, **** eyes, and black and shiny curly hair. She is as short as her mother, only five feet two inches tall. Arianne is 23 years old. Although she is noble and beautiful, she is still unmarried.

She is the eldest daughter of Prince Doran and his wife Melario. According to Dorn’s tradition, she is the heir of Sunji City and Dorn.

Because of her father, she is still unmarried.

Arianne also hoped to take the initiative to find more suitable people, she also has many suitors, and she herself thinks that she thinks that handsome men are her weakness, especially when they have an adventurous and taboo temperament, they are more attractive. She's gone.

However, his father rejected all such candidates and even prevented her from contacting these people. She always thought that this was a way her father wanted to deprive her of her inheritance rights, which caused her to resent her father very much.

Now, after Pantos's sword drawing ceremony ended, a letter sent by Prince Oberon made her completely desperate. In the letter, she discovered that she was actually arranged to be a saint in the Dragon God Church. This was a naked attempt to deprive her of her inheritance rights.

Arianne is determined to resist. As Dorne’s first heir, although she has no real power, she still has some power. Her childhood playmates in the Water Garden and several illegitimate daughters of her uncle Oberon are with her. The relationship is good, now she is her confidant.

Arianne herself is a calculating, adventurous, and hot-tempered person. She will work hard at all costs to get what she thinks she deserves. Now she contacted these confidants, and some of the guard leaders in Yangji City who had taken refuge in her, looking for an opportunity to rebel against her father, forcing him to pass the throne directly to herself.

However, how can the newborn fox compare to the old fox for many years?

Soon, her conspiracy was seen through by her father.

So Prince Doran locked his daughter in a comfortable cell on the tower.

Because she was cut off from outside communication, even the servant who took care of her was forbidden to talk to her, and Arianne began a hunger strike to protest.

In the end, Prince Doran had to talk to Arianne himself.

Before being taken to see her father, she had thought of acting simple and humble, sincerely repentant, and crawling under her father's feet begging for forgiveness, otherwise she would never hear other human noises.

But when she saw her father again, for some reason, she couldn't kneel down and beg as planned.

She just said, "Father."

He looked at her face for a long time, and then said, "Why? Tell me, Arianne. Tell me why. You are my daughter, Arianne, the little girl who came to me when she scratched her knees before. It’s hard to believe that you will plot a conspiracy against me. I must know the truth."

"Why?" Arianne sneered, she thought it was time to settle the ledger. "Hehe, to the Duke of Tywin and the Lannister family, you always swallow like a saint; but to your own flesh and blood, you are not tolerant at all."

"'Eat hardships, you can only be a master' Arianne, you don't take patience as swallowing your breath. Since the day they told me that Arya and the children had died, I have been working on Tywin Lannister. I am full of hope that I can deprive him of everything he treasures before killing him personally." Father's face twitched, as if saying these words made him feel pain. "Is this what you want?"

"Really?" The princess felt that he was evasive, "I want my rights."

"Your rights?" the prince asked rhetorically.
