"Perhaps, we will no longer care about the death of Sir Ryswell.

But I have a selfish request:

Sir Taoman is still serving Golden Company, and he cannot be in the same situation as Leswell Peake again.

And as I just said, I am a somewhat superstitious person.

If Taoman·Peake has another unfortunate accident?"

Either he died from an assassin's arrow, or he hanged himself in the camp due to inexplicable depression.

Or maybe he was struck by lightning - I'll blame everyone here."

There was silence inside the tavern.

Only accompanied by the vague sound of the sea breeze outside the window, the uncoordinated voice of Davos continued to sound:

----At that time, when I come to Disputed Lands again, I won't bring a dozen ships and more than 600 people----

Golden Company has always been a motto of "his words are like gold." Starpike Earl also believes that Captain Misi will abide by morality and protect his relatives - which is also the consideration of his friends in the regiment."

Several people around the table looked at each other with strange expressions. None of them expected that this "Knight of the Golden Mountain" would be so strong in protecting Essos's Peake, and even issued some unusual threats.

Only Taoman Peake, who thought he had guessed correctly, showed an understanding smile and looked at Davos with a smile, his eyes full of gratitude.

Davos thought to himself that Earl was really kind to his distant relative, actually protecting Taoman like this.

Of course Parkwood is also good.

When he returns to Westeros, Master Titus will make the decision, and the one he will marry will still be a woman from the the Fox family.

Thinking of something funny, Davos, who had also heard the rumors about Storm's End's wedding, smiled mysteriously at Sir Packwood, leaving the delighted counterpart scratching his head.

Tauman, who is even more scheming, has already started plotting against his colleagues.

As long as the cavalry is firmly secured in the follow-up, and the elephant soldiers of brothers Dennis Strong, Duncan·Strong are recruited - Peake will not only occupy a prominent position in Golden Company, but also be so important that it can interfere in the election of the next leader.

As for the cause of brother Leswell's death, it was indeed caused by an internal power struggle.

However, the sergeant major who tried to seize power had already been settled by the two brothers - "even" in the physical sense, but it was not appropriate to publicize the matter. With the protection of Black Earl, his worries were completely solved.

Davos brought a lot of people and ships with him on this eastward trip, which was a bit of a "show off" to Golden Company.

That a "Knight of the Golden Mountain" with a "family history" of just three or four years could have such a pomp, coupled with the sincerity of the Peake family owner who "misses" his relatives overseas, made the Golden Company officers present look at their old colleagues Peake brothers with admiration.

Regardless of whether he has taken the "threat" of the Golden Mountain Knights or not, the way he treats Taoman Peake will definitely be different in the future.

Anyway.

The appearance of the Golden Mountain Knight includes the special "care" given by Starpike Earl to overseas tribesmen who are far away in the Western Continent.

----They all left a very deep impression on Golden Company.

"Do you know Golden Company?"

Titus handed Wenda a glass of Dorne Summer Red after finishing his exercise.

"I only know that they are known as the most powerful of the major mercenary groups?"

Ms. Wenda, whose face was redder than summer red, quickly took the cup. She was eager to replenish her water.

"It is very powerful. Although its history is less than a century, it is completely incomparable with Essos's ancient mercenary groups that are hundreds or thousands of years old." Titus laughed out loud when he saw her appearance.

After drinking some Dorne red wine with a sweet taste and rich fruit aroma, Wenda finally calmed down and his mind slowly recovered from the excitement.

"It is said that the Battle of Red Grassland ended with the defeat of the Blackfyre forces. After the supporters of the Black Dragon Banner fled the battlefield, many were unwilling to surrender. Most of them crossed the ocean and lived on the other side of the Narrow Sea.

Including Bittersteel", there are a total of hundreds of lords and knights who lost their fiefdoms - plus several subsequent rebellions, the number of losers who fell to Essos is even greater.

These people have been passed down for generations, but I don't think they still think they are Westeros people.

Titus shook his head, signaled Wenda to put down the wine glass, hugged her back, gently rubbed her chin against her smooth blond hair, and said with a smile, "My good captain, can you guess this time?" Wrong. Aig Hewen's ideological work "has been done quite well. Neither the fugitives from the new past nor the descendants of Blackfyre supporters have any intention of settling in Essos."

Titus briefly introduced to Wenda the tradition of the regiment's officers "casting golden rings" to facilitate their escape at any time, and added:

----Disputed Lands is not only a place for them to make a living, but also their training ground.

This can be seen from the fact that Golden Company is employed by Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh. They do not choose the source of the task, nor are they loyal to which employer. They will only be loyal to gold and the old rules of their group.

Actually, I think they are a bit too strict about the rules----"

As Titus said, when Sir Aegor took the lead in painting his skull with gold as part of Golden Company's military flag, and subsequent captains followed suit, it was already destined that the temperament of this mercenary group was definitely different from their peers.

"Gold above, Bittersteel below" not only means "plating gold on hard bones", but also represents the group's core spirit of "the collective is greater than the individual" - all the male descendants of Blackfyre are in trouble, especially since no one can take charge alone.

As the current leader of the group, Mis Toyin did not make the entire Golden Company decision alone.

Aegor Rivers's original move was very wise.

Those nobles and knights who fled to foreign lands had to become mercenaries in order to survive. Some joined Second Sons, some joined the Flag-Breaking Group, and some joined the Mu Girl Group.

The power of Blackfyre was torn apart and was about to collapse. At that critical time point, Yi Ge closely united the exiles and created Golden Company.

"Since they respect traditions and rules so much, you still judge that your distant relative died due to internal booking? By the way - Sir Davos must have arrived at Disputed Lands in the past few days, right?

He is a knight who is not skilled in martial arts, but you dare to give him trust and trust."

It's not that Wenda doesn't trust Davos Seaworth's ability, but this matter is really difficult, and it's also on the other side of the Narrow Sea. This is why she took the initiative to go there in the first place.

Titus rubbed the smooth and elastic skin under his palm, and vindicated the name of the Knight of the Golden Mountain: "Believe me, my judgment may be biased, but I rarely look at the wrong person. Maybe Davos's sword-wielding skills are a bit lacking, but he can handle this matter well."

I even arranged such a ridiculous escort lineup for him----

Those exiles who are always fighting endless wars and dreaming of returning to Westeros and regaining their ancestral homeland will not dare to offend him easily as long as they see the warships of the Star Shuttle Fleet."

Titus thought to himself, Golden Company's "homesickness" is beyond doubt.

They will try to seize every opportunity to "go home" - the only troublesome thing is that this group has been against House Targaryen for nearly a hundred years.

Among this group of people, a few are "ghosts" and some are "liars", and the main force are Westeros losers who have survived failed rebellions, failed struggles, and failed careers.

As a team composed of losers, its members are disgraced and homeless, but they are also very good at fighting and have strong hard power. If you want them to obey orders, you have to do things for these losers that neither "Bittersteel" nor "Blackfyre" can do----

While thinking, Titus's palms subconsciously exerted slight force.

Wenda was a little itchy by him and started to take the initiative, drawing circles from the chest and attacking all the way down------

Titus looked down, is this okay?

Just pick up the extremely white captain White Eagle and enter the rhythm of the next game----

East.

After showing off their horses, reading the letter, putting down harsh words, and negotiating a good deal, the Davos knight who was about to leave the Alliance Port did not directly return home.

With such a large force being dispatched this time, his mission was not just to come to Disputed Lands, meet with Mistoin and others, and then take Packwood Peake home to "reach the peak of life".

It's rare to come across the Narrow Sea. Among the tasks assigned by Master Titus this time, negotiating with Golden Company is just one of them.

The second is to visit the Lys island not far from the Alliance Port and south of Stepstones, and meet the Lys Trade Prince Trigg O'Molon there.

Starpike Earl intends to reach a secret cooperation with Prince Trigg O'Molon - a complex cooperation in both business and military aspects.

The middleman who facilitated this cooperation was none other than Salado Sann, the "Thousand Colored Bird", a descendant of a pirate family who had become very close to the Knights of the Golden Mountain in the past two years.

This Lysian with the ambition of being the "Prince of the Narrow Sea" is not only a Lysian pirate, mercenary captain, and smuggler, he is also a local banker in Lisbon.

Under the recommendation of this old friend, Davos will meet with Trigg O'Molan on behalf of Lord Earl.

Wait until this is done.

The third mission, which is the last mission of his "mission" this time, is to go to the north side of Stepstones and follow

Lys, the city-state of Tyrosh, which is also an island country, visits Earl's uncle Johnny Adrys.

It is said that Titus Earl's uncle just participated in the election of Tyrosh Maharaja a few years ago, and the result was a complete defeat.

It can be said that all three "daughter" colonies of Valyrian Freehold, except Myr, have been almost finished by Davos.

Just like what Titus and Wenda said, the former has always had great trust in Davos Seaworth.

When Sir Davos Seaworth comes back to Jinshan Port from the "Three Daughters Kingdom", he will definitely bring back some good news.

Ever since four years ago, Captain Davos, who had turned on the "lobbyist mode", quickly took down Captain Renafer Weiweishui under the nose of Titus.

Titus seems to be very superstitious about Davos's "diplomatic" talent----

Yes, he is also a somewhat "superstitious" person.
