Game of Thrones' opening sold the gods

Chapter 13 13. Expansion

In the end, Theon extorted 200,000 gold dragons from Baelish.

Of course, these golden dragons will not be used to expand the army, but will go into Theon's own pocket. As for whether Littlefinger will tell the truth, he will definitely not be so stupid as to tell such a deal.

Littlefinger walked on the way back, his heart bleeding all the time. His total wealth was less than 500,000 gold dragons, which he used to build an army in order to obtain fiefs in the future.

Before this fief was even acquired, half of it was extorted by the beast Xion.

After sending Littlefinger away, Theon originally planned to go to Varys, but the arrival of Sansa interrupted Theon's plan.

"Theon, please, help me." Sansa begged Theon as she entered the door.

At this moment, Sansa doesn't know that Theon betrayed her father. Only a very small number of people know about this matter. In fact, this kind of thing is not a big deal or a small matter.

After all, few people would choose to believe an obviously ambitious Proton, but Ned did.

And even if Theon hadn't tipped off, Ned would still have suffered the same fate. The main deal between Theon and Cersei was still the fact that Lysa Tully of the Vale framed the Lannister.

"Sansa, calm down!" Theon quickly hugged the Northern Key, oh no, it's Sansa.

In most cases, Xion still wants to rule a certain place through the second method, because the first method requires a much higher price than the second method.

Joffrey panicked for a moment after hearing Theon's words, and then turned his attention to Janos Slynt, his cruel eyes undisguised at all.

"Your Majesty, I want to accuse Theon Greyjoy of premeditated evil, secretly integrating the golden robes into his own army, and selecting young men from the untouchables to serve as soldiers." As expected, Janos Slynt took the seat first.

Well, I had surgery.

Facing a powerful duke with six thousand soldiers and horses, he would never have been able to do such a thing without Cersei's instructions.

Theon stood up and reprimanded loudly: "Janos Slynt, you accept bribes and buy and sell official positions. A man in a golden robe needs to hand over half of his military salary to you. Is this how you become the commander of the King's Landing garrison?"

This is a rare promotion for them with no background.

"Your Majesty, imagine that your two traitorous uncles brought tens of thousands of people to attack King's Landing, but the soldiers who defended the city for you didn't even get full military pay. I can't imagine how many thoughts those soldiers had for you.

You work hard!"

Theon looked at Pycelle and couldn't help but curl his lips. He could obviously still grow up with women, but he still had to pretend to be so senile.

Cersei's words are still very useful to Joffrey now. As long as they don't touch Emperor Joe's face, there is generally no problem.

Slynt immediately broke out in cold sweat and looked at Cersei for help.

As a result, Xion's army increased to 6,000 people. Although the overall combat effectiveness was not very good, at least there were more people.

It's really impressive.

There are two situations for the rule of Westeros, one is violent conquest, which will be gradually recognized after two or three generations, and the other is legal inheritance.

Xion didn't say anything and silently returned to his seat.

In the next half month, Xion selected a total of 2,000 people from the refugees to join his army. At the same time, 1,500 people in golden robes with clean backgrounds were incorporated into Xion's army and obeyed Xion's instructions.

Order.

Everyone was silent for a while, and then Grand Maester Pycelle tremblingly took out a letter.

In the original book, when he was captured by Tyrion, he was still on a woman's bed, a typical clown.

Especially Cersei's look, as if she wanted to eat him.

In the end, Joffrey glanced at Slynt reluctantly, thinking about how to torture this guy in the future. He felt that Theon was right, and he had even imagined the scene where his two uncles rushed into King's Landing and chopped off his head.

Theon looked at Sansa's back and thought about how to reasonably encourage Joffrey to marry Sansa to him. After all, marrying Sansa would give him a legal reason to control the North.

To put it bluntly, almost 70% of King's Landing's military power is now in Xion's hands.

Theon first noticed him when he first came to King's Landing, not only because he betrayed Ned in the plot, but mainly because of his arrogant attitude towards others.

By the time Theon arrived at the royal meeting, everyone was already seated, including Janos Slynt, the commander of the City Guard.

Relatively speaking, Janos Slynt is too inhumane. He is notoriously greedy for money. He not only sells official positions in the King's Landing Guard, that is, gold robes, but also likes to deduct military pay from civilian gold robes.

"There is news from the Great Wall of the North. The savages have begun to gather for some unknown reason, and they need some supplies and manpower from King's Landing." Pycelle said the contents of the letter in a trembling voice.

Xion is not afraid of anyone now, "Your Majesty, the expansion of the army in King's Landing is with your permission, but those golden robes voluntarily joined my army."

Although Cersei had no choice but to find a way to save Slynt, otherwise once Slynt was killed, all the remaining golden robes would probably be in Theon's hands.

Theon knew that Cersei was definitely instigating this, because Slynt was unlikely to take the initiative to provoke Theon. He was a typical villain who bullied others.

Cersei is here at the same time, and it seems like she doesn't want to be a good thing.

"I also want to save you, but King's Landing is very chaotic right now. I need to get a firm foothold first. You can hold on for a while, okay?"

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

So Cersei immediately advised: "Your Majesty, Slynt helped you put down Ned Stark's rebellion, and the merits were equal to the crime. Now is a special period. It is not appropriate to kill him. We can wait until your uncle has put down the rebellion."

Not too late."

"Lord Xion, Your Majesty has held a royal meeting and invites you to come over."

Half of the military pay for nearly 3,000 men was handed over to him, which shows how greedy he is. At the same time, he also defected to Cersei, and he was considered a member of Cersei's faction.

But it is estimated that Genos will come looking for him soon, because Xion has poached nearly 1,500 people in the golden robes, and the protection fee collected by Genos this month will be reduced by nearly half.

Sansa nodded helplessly in Xion's arms, then wiped away her tears and returned.

Moreover, they all ate food from King's Landing, but the refugee soldiers were grateful to Theon. There were also quite a few elites in the original golden robes who served as squad captains in the army.

"How to support them now? Their king is now trapped in King's Landing, and they rely on the huge Great Wall to dare to come and ask for support and supplies?"

The difference from the original work is that the original Joffrey did not obviously realize that his situation was very poor, but now Joffrey is threatened by Theon almost every day in order to highlight his importance.

It can be said that Joffrey now clearly understands his situation and is deeply troubled by it. He even spends a lot less time torturing people.

But he was also a lot more irritable, and if his servants were not careful, they would be executed by Joffrey. Fortunately, they died very happily, and I don’t know whether he was lucky or unlucky.
