Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

  Chapter 97 Red Viper (Sixth)

   "The Horn Hill Tully family... demands compensation of 96,000 golden dragons."

  Alf ​​is too lazy to resist, he has already seen that the other party is determined to evacuate the vault of Starfall City.

   No, not only Starfall City, but also the treasury of Gaoyin City.

   "Finally, it's Yingzui Island." Samwell sighed and said, "I really suffered heavy losses in this war!"

  Natalie comforted her intimately: "Don't worry, Sir Caesar, our Starfall City will definitely compensate you in full for your losses!"

  Samwell pretended to be grateful, and then said:

   "First of all, due to Urik Shad's invasion of Yingzui Island, my dock was completely destroyed. Therefore, I request the expropriation of Starfall City's dock as compensation for a period of 99 years."

   Alf rolled his eyes, what kind of broken pier is Yingzui Island, and the pier of Starfall City needs to be requisitioned for compensation?

   Still 99 years?

  Why don't you grab it directly!

  But he also knew that his objection would have no effect, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

   "Secondly, my territory was burned in this war, so Starfall City must send 7,000 young men to Yingzui Island to help me rebuild my territory.

  In addition, my soldiers and citizens suffered heavy casualties in this war. In addition to the loss of property and materials, the Dane family must compensate 80,000 golden dragons. "

"Wait a moment."

  Samwell thought that the old manager was going to question again, but when he looked up, he found that it was Horace Redwyne who stood up.

   "Sir Horace, what is your opinion?"

  Horace snorted softly: "I have no problem with taking so much from the Florens family and the Tully family, but how many soldiers did you have in Yingzui Island in total? Do you need so much compensation?"

  Samwell knew that this guy was purely jealous.

"Hehe, I'm afraid you don't know. I almost used up all the brandy reserves that I had brewed for three months in this war. Calculated at ten silver coins per gallon, it is not a small amount. What's more, I mobilized the eagles this time. Almost all the young and strong people in Zuiyu participated in the war, and the construction of the territory, the brewing of brandy, and the mining of silver mines all stagnated. You know how traumatic it is to see your home destroyed and burnt down? And…”

   "Stop, stop!" Horace was dizzy from Samwell's continuous bombardment, and seeing that there was no one else to support him, he had to give up.

   After all, the absolute main forces on the Riverbend side of this war are the Florents and the Tullys. Now these two families are obviously supporting Samwell, and Horace knows that he can't get the right to speak.

   There are eight thousand golden dragons, and I can already explain to Earl Paxter when I go back.

  Looking around, seeing that no one objected, Samwell continued:

"Finally, in order to prevent conflicts between the two places in the future, I think the best way is to strengthen cultural, commercial, and personnel exchanges. Therefore, Starfall City and High Hidden City must fully exempt goods from Yingzui Island. At the same time, Dane The family must not prevent its subjects from voluntarily going to work, live, or even settle in Yingzui Island."

   "The conditions are very good." Natalie actually nodded in a serious manner, "The wages at Yingzui Islet are quite high, and the food is also good. I believe the citizens of the Dane family will like it there."

  The manager, Alf, has already started to roll his eyes.

  Samwell patted the **** the shoulder with a smile: "I have always been generous to those who work for me. It doesn't matter if they are people from the River Bend, Dorne or savages."

   After finishing speaking, he handed the quill and parchment to Natalie, saying:

   "Come on, Miss Natalie, if you have any objections to this list of war compensation, please sign it later."

   "Oh." Natalie obediently signed her name on it.

  Alf ​​wanted to grab the quill pen and tear up the compensation list several times, but in the end, he still didn't dare to take action.

   After all, my life is my own. As for the things of the Dane family... that lady doesn't even cherish it herself.

  Natalie's handwriting is not pretty. Although Ashara taught her to read and write, she doesn't have many opportunities to write.

  But in Samwell's eyes, this is probably the most wonderful thing in the world at the moment.

In fact, it’s not that he insists on bullying the little girl and tricking her into signing so many war indemnities, but that he must weaken the Dane family as much as possible, otherwise a powerful Starfall City will not be willing to be controlled by him, Nata Li's position as the city lord is also unstable.

   After signing, the faces of the river bend nobles present showed expressions of excitement, because it was finally the time to harvest.

   But just as everyone was about to go to the Dane family's vault and turn it upside down, a guard suddenly ran in outside the door and reported:

   "My lords, His Royal Highness Prince Oberyn is coming to Starfall City, and he is outside the castle gate at this moment."

   The hall suddenly fell silent.

   After a while, Earl Randall, who had been silent before, said, "The Red Viper came quite quickly. How many soldiers and horses did he bring?"

   "Just him..."

  Earl Randall froze for a moment, and said, "Please come in."

"yes."

  As soon as they heard the name of Prince Oberyn, the smiles on the faces of everyone in the Reach disappeared.

   After all, the shadow of the famous tree, "The Red Viper" Prince Oberyn should be the most dangerous man in the Martell family, and even in the entire Dorne.

  As the younger brother of Prince Doran, the ruler of Dorne, although Prince Oberyn was born noble, he has a violent and staunch personality.

  Thus, although most of the knights of the Seven Kingdoms despise this person, they are also extremely vigilant and even secretly afraid of him.

   And the Knights of the Reach especially hated this man, because he was the one who mutilated the Duke of Mace's eldest son, the heir of Highgarden, Vilas Tyrell.

  Samwell put away the parchment and hid it close to his body. At this time, he was secretly glad that Natalie had signed the signature. Unless the Martell family broke their face and refused to recognize her inheritance, the Dane family had to pay these compensations.

   As for whether the Martell family will really tear their face apart, Samwell thinks the possibility is very low.

   After all, after this battle, Dawn will hardly be able to fight another big battle with Hewan in the short term.

   What's more, that Prince Doran is known to be tolerant. If his hot-tempered daughter hadn't jumped out to make trouble this time, the war would never have expanded to this scale.

   While thinking, Samwell saw a tall figure appearing at the door.

It was a middle-aged man wearing an orange, yellow, and red silk robe, with a high nose bridge, a narrow forehead, short black shiny hair, and very light eyebrows. Below him was a pair of dark eyes like eternal night, shining with dangerous light all the time. , like a poisonous snake.

   "People from the River Bend." Prince Oberyn walked into the hall alone, but he seemed to be carrying thousands of troops.

  His cold eyes swept across the faces of the nobles in the river bay one by one, and said in a questioning tone:

   "Where's my niece?"
