Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord.

Chapter 49 The performance begins

Gavin responded calmly, "The Thorn family has been eliminated. As far as I know, their fleet has stopped in Rees. As for how many ships are left, I believe you know better than me. Now that I am in charge of the Stone Steps Archipelago, I will bring about a new order, and it will not affect our cooperation."

The Myr envoy snorted coldly, his fat face full of disdain, and the loose golden brocade robe he wore could hardly hide his bloated figure. "Huh, a new order? But we don't think so."

The Tyrosh envoy tried to smooth things over. He smiled and said in a gentle tone, "Everyone, please don't be so hostile. I believe that Sir Gawain can maintain the trade routes and the interests of all of us. We should all sit down and discuss a proper plan together."

Seeing the Tyroshi envoy come out to smooth things over, the Lys envoy thought to himself, "It's because you, Tyroshi, are extremely dependent on trade routes."

Rees's messenger continued, "Sir Gawain, as far as I know, Grey Gallows Island was originally the territory of the Thorn family. Sir Gawain has been blocking it. Doesn't he plan to return it?"

Gavin had no intention of backing down after hearing this. He said firmly, "The entire Stone Steps Archipelago is now under my control. The ownership of Grey Gallows Island will naturally be decided by me. If the Thorn family has the ability, they can send a ship over."

Rees's messenger had a gloomy expression and his tone became sharper: "So Sir Gavin has completely disregarded Rees's position? Aren't you afraid of causing a conflict?"

Gavin said calmly, "I have no intention of being your enemy, but there is no room for negotiation on the matter of Grey Gallows Island. If Reese wants to get involved in the Stone Steps Islands by supporting the Thorn family, I am willing to accompany him."

At this time, the Tyrosh envoy spoke again, his expression slightly anxious: "Everyone, the severance of trade routes is not good for us. Why don't we put aside our differences and work together to gain benefits from the trade routes? Once trade is blocked, it will not only be us who will suffer losses."

The Myr envoy said sarcastically: "Trade route? Without our support, can this route be stable? Sir Gawain, you must think carefully."

Gavin said in a deep voice, "I am willing to follow the profit sharing that the Thorn family discussed with you. I will only charge half of the toll for any merchant ship flying the flags of Myr, Lys, or Tyrosh. But I advise you not to have any idea of ​​getting your hands on the Stone Steps through the Thorn family."

The Tyrosh envoy quickly agreed: "Lord Gavin is right. They are just a bunch of pirates. Why bother with them?"

Reese's envoy was unmoved and said coldly: "We naturally have no intention of getting involved in the Stone Steps Islands, but what the Sann family plans to do is beyond our control."

After hearing this, Gavin said calmly: "In that case, I look forward to the war with the Sunn family."

As the banquet ended unpleasantly, Gavin returned to the study and immediately ordered Hassan to prepare to assemble a fleet to capture Grey Gallows Island in two days.

Hassan did not take any action after hearing this. Instead, he asked Gavin worriedly, "Sir, it seems that Reese and Mill also want to get their hands on the World Archipelago. Will they send out their navy?"

Gavin poured himself a glass of wine and said calmly, "Not only the two of them, but also Tyrosh. The Kingdom of the Three Daughters has always wanted to gain control of the Stepstone Islands. This is undoubtedly an opportunity for them, but they don't know if I have the Iron Throne behind me, and they are worried that if they personally participate, the scale of the war will be expanded. All we can do now is to support the Thorn family with some ships and money, and seize Grey Gallows Island in advance before these three envoys leave, and put an end to their idea."

Hassan frowned and said, "Sir, will this action of ours completely anger them? What if they go to war with us regardless of the consequences? Then..."

Gavin took a sip of wine. "They are not united internally. Tyrosh may not fully support Lys and Myr. He is too affected by the trade routes. We should take advantage of this. As long as we act quickly and seize the initiative to seize Grey Gallows Island, even if they are angry, they will have to consider the cost of retaking the island."

Hassan took a deep breath and said, "I understand, sir. I'll prepare it right away." After that, Hassan turned and left the study. Gavin stared out the window, lost in thought.

Two days later, Gray Gallows Island.

The sea surface at night is like a huge piece of black silk, smooth and tranquil. The stars are dotted above the sky and reflected in the sparkling sea water, as if the dazzling gems have sunk into an endless abyss. The sea breeze blows gently, carrying a faint salty taste.

Five small boats moved quietly on the silent sea, slowly approaching Grey Gallows Island. On the boats were Gavin and his Blood Dragon Guards.

The boat finally approached the island. Gavin looked up and saw a cliff more than ten meters high in front of him.

A Blood Dragon Guard beside him began to climb nimbly. His movements were light and quick, and he reached the top of the cliff in a short while. Then he threw down the rope, and the other Blood Dragon Guards and Gavin immediately climbed up along the rope.

After quietly landing on the island, they checked their equipment and quickly moved towards the high cliff where the catapult was placed. Along the way, it was quiet and silent, with only the sound of their light footsteps.

Finally, in the early morning, they arrived at their destination.

Several sentries were drowsy when Gavin approached like a ghost. The dagger in his hand flashed a cold light under the moonlight, and he killed one of the sentries in an instant. The Blood Dragon Guards quickly followed and killed the rest of the guards neatly.

At this time, the sky gradually brightened and everyone was ready. Gavin signaled to a Blood Dragon Guard, who lit a torch and waved it in circles toward the sea.

At the same time, on the Belleris, the envoys from the Kingdom of Three Daughters gathered on the deck, all of them with gloomy faces and complaining.

Rees's messenger frowned and said impatiently, "Sir Gawain asked us to come and watch the show in the middle of the night? Is he deliberately trying to make things difficult for us?"

The envoy of Mir also echoed: "That's right, the sea breeze is so cold, do we have to keep blowing in it?"

Although the Tyrosh envoy was not as impatient, he also looked puzzled.

Hassan said politely with a smile: "My Lords, please be patient and wait for a moment. I believe there will be a result soon."

The messengers continued to grumble in low voices.

Suddenly, a flickering signal fire appeared on the Gray Gallows Island in the distance. Hassan's eyes lit up, and then he said respectfully: "Dear messengers, the show is about to begin."

The fleet immediately approached the Grey Gallows Island after receiving the signal. As the fleet approached, the alarm bell was sounded. At this time, the defenders on the Grey Gallows Island discovered that the alarm bell on the cliff had not sounded, and immediately sent people to check, but they were easily dealt with by Gavin and his men.
