Dominate the Game of Thrones with Mount and Blade

Chapter 72 Anguy (to make up for the missed update)

It was lunchtime when the archery competition ended, so thousands of people and nobles found ways to eat.

Some ladies and officials had already left. The horse lance competition that attracted their attention the most had ended. The group battle in the afternoon was not what they wanted to watch.

Arthur and others were invited by Loras, who was still in shock, to have lunch with the fans of the Rose Family.

The host Loras was not very interested. After expressing his welcome to Arthur and others, he buried his head in eating silently, so the people at the table did the same.

After eating and drinking, the Lord of the Red Mill suddenly thought of someone.

Anguy, the champion of the archery competition.

Speaking of this mercenary Arthur was a little familiar.

This man came from Dorne. In the morning, he raised the hammer to his chest.

According to the original novel, Anguy followed the red monk Thoros, the Lightning Lord Beric Dondarrion and others to fight the Mountain, and later became a core member of the Brotherhood Without Banners, driving out the burning, killing and looting Western and Northern armies for the farmers in the Riverlands.

He is a righteous and good man.

After glimpsing that Jules behind him had also stopped eating, Arthur stretched out his hand to call him over.

"What's the matter?"

Jules is now in a happy moment.

The set of plate armor promised to him by his nephew has arrived and is now on him.

This makes him look like a brave knight, although he is so cowardly that he doesn't even dare to sign up for a group battle.

In the morning, Jules met some mercenaries who had been with him before, and the beautiful armor on his body made him feel very face-saving in front of these people.

And Jules's entry into the tent of the Duke's family Tyrell for lunch made his fellow mercenaries drop their jaws in shock.

I have said that I am a real noble, this is Jules' farewell to his former partners.

There are still benefits to following the nephew.

Jules now likes Arthur more and more.

"The archery champion, the one called Angue, you go find him now, and remember where he is, I will find him at night."

Arthur said so.

Angue should be the top sharpshooter in Westeros, and it is perfect for him to serve as long-range firepower beside Arthur.

It is right to have an archer behind the tank.

Archery champion, Angue.

Jules instantly grasped the key words.

"I understand."

Angue is equal to 10,000 gold dragons, this is Jules' only thought.

Could it be that the nephew wants to rob these 10,000 gold dragons?

"Oh, and are the mercenaries with you reliable? We have to hire a large number of mercenaries." Arthur asked again.

With the war imminent, it is necessary to have more troops on hand.

Mercenaries are also a good choice, although their loyalty is a little poor.

"Those people are cowards, they only dare to bully civilians and dare not fight with real armies." Jules immediately betrayed the details of his former partners.

Then he thought for a moment, "There is a well-known mercenary group that is now in King's Landing. If you want to hire them, I can try to find their leader."

Arthur asked curiously, "Which mercenary group?"

There are not many mercenary groups on the continent of Westeros, but the form of mercenary groups is extremely popular in the eastern continent of Essos.

Famous mercenary groups include the Golden Group founded by the remnants of the Blackfyre Rebellion, the Second Sons Group founded by the Second Sons, the Windblown Group, the Long Lance Group, etc.

A strong mercenary group can have tens of thousands of troops, with elephants, cavalry, and infantry fighting together.

The ones that are a little worse are all kinds of things, but at least their combat effectiveness is stronger than the newly armed peasants.

"The Warriors Group, also known as the Blood Troupe, is a group of mercenaries composed of people who cannot see the sun. Most of the members are murderous and cruel, love strange clothes, but love money very much." Jules replied.

Arthur remembered this mercenary group. At the beginning of the War of the Five Kings, they responded to the call of Casterly Rock and joined the army of the Westerlands, but then they rebelled and became the subordinates of Roose Bolton the Flayed.

They were the ones who cut off Jaime's right hand.

As for loyalty, it seems that they are only loyal to money.

But they defected from the Lannister side to the poorest North, which Arthur couldn't understand.

Such people can be used as cannon fodder or do some dirty work.

"Go and contact them. I will meet their leader and members tonight or tomorrow. You can also look for other scattered mercenaries. As long as they are qualified in combat effectiveness and loyal enough, you can call them. Now we have enough gold dragons, and it is very cost-effective to hire one or two hundred people to defend the territory."

According to Arthur's idea, between the time when the Mountain finished hoarse along the Red Fork River and Tywin sent troops, he would gather tens of thousands of landless peasants.

At that time, pick out the young and strong ones to form his own real team.

From now until then, these mercenaries and the troops in the original territory will be used for a transition.

Jules nodded, indicating that he understood, and then went out to do business.

"My friend, is the lunch to your taste?" After Loras finished eating, he recovered a little and began to chat with the visitor.

"Not bad." Arthur was full and burped and responded to the Knight of Flowers.

The two brothers Hobber and Horas were also there. Their great aunt was the Queen of Thorns Olenna Tyrell, the grandmother of the Knight of Flowers and the real helmsman of the River Reach.

One of the twins asked, "Lord Arthur, do we really have to go to the River Reach to buy you armor in the next two days? Many of the nobles of the River Reach don't want to leave the prosperous King's Landing, and the armor they promised to give you may not be available."

The two brothers promised to help Arthur buy a batch of armor, so they had to follow Arthur back to the Reach.

"We must leave the day after tomorrow at the latest." This was Arthur's answer.

According to the Mountain's living habits, after losing the lance competition, he returned to the territory of the Westerly, and then responded to Lord Tywin's call after the Imp was captured and went to Casterly Rock to gather.

These events happened so fast that the world could not react, so Arthur had to hurry up.

Otherwise, the Mountain's troubles were over, what would he use to win the hearts of the people?

Arthur turned to Loras, "Speaking of which, there is something I need your help with."

"Please tell me, I will do my best." The Knight of Flowers said.

He had already gone from being kind to Arthur to being grateful, and in his heart he was very impressed with this little lord who was more handsome than him.

"I need to deposit the gold dragons in my hand with you, and then cash them in at High Court in the Reach..."

Since there are no banks on the continent of Westeros, coins such as gold dragons are carried on their own.

But going to the Reach to buy armor must be done quickly, and it is not realistic to carry several large bags of gold dragons, so Arthur thought of using the Rose House to realize the bank's remote deposit and withdrawal function.

That is, he gave the gold dragons in his hand to Loras in King's Landing, and then went to Highgarden to withdraw part of it.

The rest was kept. Highgarden has not been affected by the war and is a good place to save money.

With the financial resources of his family, the second family in the Seven Kingdoms, these tens of thousands of gold dragons are still easy to handle.

Arthur explained for a long time, and finally made this knight who only had how to knock people off their horses understand his intention.

"No problem at all, I will write to my grandmother and father, and the raven will bring this news."

The Knight of Flowers cooperated very well, and Arthur solved another problem of his own.

PS: Some people say that Bran was assassinated by Littlefinger in the series. Let's not talk about how the Deer Family dagger got into Littlefinger's hands. Even the time and place, Littlefinger has no possibility at all. He stayed in King's Landing at the time, and it was two months away.

The last two seasons of the TV series have a lot of logical bugs. Not to mention compared with the book, even compared with the previous seasons, they can't be fixed, so I won't use it as a plot reference.
