The group of people led by Davos walked straight in from the door.

Later, the soldiers poured into the tavern one after another, quickly filling the place to the brim.

The mercenaries all looked at him with scrutiny.

There seemed to be a tense atmosphere in the air.

Davos raised his hand and said in a calm voice, "Don't be nervous, I'm here to talk."

After that, he asked the guards behind him to follow the example of the other party's mercenary members and retreat to the surrounding walls to stand.

The soldiers on both sides looked at each other and were secretly on guard.

He straightened out his luxurious brocade robes embroidered with gold threads and walked straight to the center of the empty tavern - the only table placed there.

There were already six or seven people sitting around the long table, and the ugly man at the back of the table, Davos guessed, was the current leader of Golden Company, Mis Toyin.

This man has a rough appearance and is not as handsome as his ancestor Terence Toyne - yes, if he is not handsome and handsome, how can he seduce Aegon IV's seventh mistress, Bethany Bracken, and be caught and raped in bed by the king?

Captain Meese has a crooked chin and an overly large nose, but Davos thinks his smile can still make people forget about his appearance.

Mis Toyin's smile has a strange contagiousness.

Seeing him coming, Mis also stood up and welcomed Davos with a generous smile, "Welcome, Knight of the Golden Mountain! You are such a great warrior!"

Apparently he also had eyes and ears in the alliance port. As soon as he saw Davos ashore, he immediately sent back the news. Everyone in the tavern was already aware of the ships, men and horses brought by Davos.

The battle is indeed huge.

"Sir Davos, listen to the Knights of the Golden Mountain" and Golden Company, no matter how you think about it, this is just like a joke made by a group of people. If in the future - you can't survive in Westeros, I will block your account, and I can reserve a good position for you in Golden Company!"

The two of them had a good understanding and thought of going together.

Davos ignored the other party's joke and sneered secretly in his heart, knowing that this was a clear show of power.

He walked to the front of the table, stopped, nodded slightly to everyone present, and then responded to Mi Si who stood up across the table in an unassuming manner, "Thank you Captain Mi Si for your kindness, but my lord still trusts me, and the foundation of Jinshan Port has just begun. I will be very busy in the next few years, and I am afraid I have no idea of leaving my hometown, flying far away, and coming to Essos to work hard in my career."

He has learned from the information given by Lord Earl that although Mis Toin is called "Black Harren", it is only derived from the coat of arms of the Toin family that has been removed from Stormlands.

On the golden background surrounded by city walls, there is a Black Harren with wings.

The Toyin family's motto is "fly high and fly far away".

As for Meese himself, his heart is not black at all, and his behavior is not cruel. At his core, he is actually a fair and firm warrior.

It's just that this person doesn't reject this nickname, but rather likes it. Because he believes that as the leader of a large mercenary group, he has the responsibility to make his enemies fearful and dare not invade.

If this nickname can make others think that he is a person who is not easy to mess with, then there is nothing wrong with him.

After reviewing the information in his mind, Davos secretly stabbed the survivors of the Toyin family, but that was not enough. He glanced across the long table and accurately focused on a certain red-haired man.

This man has a strong body, but there is nothing under his left elbow. It was his left hand that was cut off by Titus and expelled by Aerys

Jon Currington, the former Earl of Eagle's Nest who has been living in exile in the Eastern Continent.

Davos found him, smiled slightly, and changed the topic. "Although Captain Meese can't wait for the day when I come to serve, but - the lord I am loyal to, the invincible Lord Titus·Peake can send some capable officers to your group."

For example, those nobles who still remember their old kindness to Targaryen----are you right, Jon·Clinton Earl?"

What is an effective general, he is obviously a defeated general.

Of course, the information Titus gave to Davos also contained information about "red-haired" Jon.

After the latter joined Golden Company, he quickly gained the respect and even admiration of Mis Toyin, and has now become his right-hand assistant.

"You!"

Hearing Davos's teasing, especially the appearance of that name, Jon Clinton suddenly clenched his fists and his face darkened.

The broken part of his left hand has long since healed, but he still regards the failure of that day as an unbearable nightmare in his life.

Davos's words undoubtedly revealed his scars accurately and hit his sore spots.

Not only Jon's face darkened, but Golden Company and others present also sat upright.

Originally, when they saw the ordinary and skinny Davos Seaworth, not to mention contempt, they were indeed a little unimpressed. Their eyes lingered on the well-trained guards behind him before they became wary.

But when they heard the names "Titus·Peake", their original indifferent attitude was completely replaced by solemnity. Everyone except Jon was in awe.

The other party did something that they, even their predecessors, had not been able to do for decades. Titus's alliance ended Targaryen Dynasty!

Such a person is naturally worthy of the respect of a group of people who live by fighting.

"Of course we have all heard of Black Earl's name."

A bearded Golden Company officer said in a deep voice, "It's just that Sir Davos's words are too aggressive."

He is complaining about Mistoyne and Jon Clinton.

"Not being pushy, just stating the facts."

Davos spoke calmly.

He believes that what he said is not exaggerated in the slightest. His Starpike Earl is just that awesome.

Even his defeated generals can gain a place in the largest mercenary group across the sea. This is enough to prove something.

Mistoin raised his hand to stop the men who defended him, trying to use laughter to break the pressure brought by someone who was not here.

"Hahahahaha----Sir Davos is just more straightforward!"

It's a pity that it doesn't have much effect.

His laughter seemed a little dry in the silent tavern, and it failed to completely dispel the solemnity here, so he could only say:

----Both parties are here for business, there is no need to offend the peace. Sir Davos, please sit down!"

Davos Seeing that he had reciprocated the opponent's aggressive attack, he stopped being arrogant and sat down on the side of the long table with his back to the door of the tavern, facing Mistoin head-on.

The surface of the long wooden table is covered with various scratches, obviously caused by being hit by various weapons all year round, giving it a rough mercenary-style feel.

Golden Company still has a mission in the near future, so not all members are present here. However, those present at the negotiation are all senior officers of the group, who are also the core figures of Golden Company.

Mistoin introduced Davos one by one, "You have recognized this, Jon Clinton, he is now my staff officer."

He pointed to the black man opposite Jon, "This is Hei Baqu", Summer Islanders, our Golden Company's best archer commander, his bow and arrow can shoot a hundred steps away——"

Hei Baqu proudly raised his chin, his white dreadlocks swaying, his skin as black as coal, showing his big white teeth, and said in Common Tongue with a foreign accent, "Sir's appearance at the dock was very grand, much more presentable than those Free Cities governors who hired us."

Davos, who came here to negotiate on behalf of Hei Earl, also greeted politely, "Commander Hei Baqu has given too much praise."

Hei Baqu smiled and responded with another ethnic minority etiquette that seemed to be Summer Isles.

Davos noticed that this archer commander likes to display all worldly wealth:

It includes a gorgeous cloak woven with green and orange feathers with strong folk custom characteristics, as well as a golden armband worn on the person's arm.

The golden ring is engraved with complex patterns. According to the habits of mercenaries, the thick and thick armband is mostly made of pure gold, and its value is enough to be worth the ransom of a small lord.

Commander Golden Company continued to introduce the other four people on both sides of the long table, "These two are Taoman Peake and Packwood Peake. They are in charge of the cavalry team in the regiment. Their brothers' riding skills are top-notch in the entire Golden Company."

Since Davos came in, the Peake brothers Taoman and Packwood obviously have the best attitude towards the former and are not wary of them.

They are the younger brothers of Leswell Peake. They also have the habit of wearing gold armbands, and the size of the gold rings on their arms is not smaller than that of Hei Baqu.

Upon hearing that the two brothers had inherited the position of their eldest brother, Sir Leswell Peake, who was also the most prestigious among the three brothers, Davos felt certain in his heart.

It seems that the matter is not as difficult as it could be - he doesn't have to lift the table today.

In any case, the Peake brothers successfully inherited their titles, which shows that the transfer of power within Golden Company has been completed. Whether it is for fairness or comfort, the death of Leswell obviously did not fall into the worst situation.

Meese pointed to Peake brother opposite, a fat middle-aged man, his appearance hardly looked like a warrior.

Harry's great-grandfather lost his family fief because he supported the Daemon·Blackfyre rebellion. Therefore, starting from his grandfather, three generations of Strickland were all born in foreign countries.

Harry Strickland himself was raised in Golden Company. He likes to boast that their family has deep qualifications and "four generations have been loyal to Golden Company."

The last one was a crimson-haired ax warrior, the bearded man who had just spoken for the regimental commander and staff officer.

This person has a strong physique, and the muscles on his arms are especially developed.

Before Meese could introduce him, he introduced himself, "Dennis Strong, one of the commanders of the elephant soldiers."

Harrenhal The descendant of the former lord grinned, revealing two rows of yellowed teeth.

"I heard that the black man Earl led his army into King's Landing and defeated Mad King? I would like to see what he is capable of----"

"So strong" Dennis Strong:
