Game of Thrones: Summoning the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 137 The Advantage Lies With Me!

Taichu and the high-ranking officials of the Three Cities Alliance were clearly unaware that the Golden Legion was preparing to betray them without even seeing the enemy's face.

They were overjoyed, believing that their allied army would easily crush the Beggar King and his army of beggars as easily as crushing an ant.

Regarding the strength of both sides, Taichu simply compared the number of troops. He believed that his own army had a numerical advantage, so they would definitely win this battle.

But regardless of whether Tychu's view of war was too simplistic, in reality, his side was already outnumbered by Viserys.

He and the other high-ranking members of the Three Cities Alliance were simply still dreaming and unaware of this.

It was still the same monotonous march for both sides' soldiers.

Fortunately, today, the two armies finally met on the plains closer to Mil.

At this moment, the soldiers of the army under the Three Cities Alliance began to miss the monotonous days of marching, since they didn't have to worry about losing their lives.

Taichu once again used his orator skills, constantly trying to boost the morale of the soldiers in the camp.

Unfortunately, while his silver tongue worked well with nobles, merchants, and slave traders, the slave soldiers couldn't empathize with the idea of ​​fighting for the three city-states.

The soldiers of the Golden Company listened with great interest as Techu passionately recounted how each soldier would receive a generous reward after capturing Braavos.

Unfortunately, no matter how eloquently he spoke, it couldn't stop the Golden Legion soldiers from chopping his mouth off with swords after receiving orders.

The most compliant were the second- and third-rate mercenaries. These people were penniless and loved to fight to the death. Other established mercenary groups, such as the Mu Girls Group and the Breaking Banner Group, basically shared the same mentality.

If the battle is easy to fight, I'll take the money; if it's hard to fight, I'll run away. The main principle is that one should be aware that if you have money to take, you might not have the life to spend it.

In any case, the army has now reached the Beggar King's face. Even if this rabble is weak, they shouldn't be so bad as to collapse and be finished before even fighting a single battle.

Compared to this rabble of tens of thousands, Viserys' army appeared to be much more elite.

Needless to say, the players are eagerly preparing to open the dungeon and start racking up kills.

Many new players dream of becoming rich overnight, ideally catching the eye of the game's leader, who will grant them a piece of land, a castle, and a few beautiful girls, thus leading them to a life of wealth and luxury in the game.

The local soldiers of the other legions were no less impressive. There was no way around it; they were just too loyal to the Dragon King. The Dragon King was giving them so much money, showering them with gold. These local soldiers were sure to show the enemy what it meant to be invincible with such generous pay.

I'll smash all your teeth into eight pieces.

Even the morale of the conscripted people was not low. Before the battle, Visser promised them that if they won, they would be allowed to take home 30% of the spoils. In this world and this era, this was already a blessing from heaven.

Coupled with Viser's reputation as a conqueror who had won many battles, it was as if His Majesty the King was leading them to get rich for free!

Kindness! An immense kindness!

It can be said that Viserys' side was united and determined, while the opposing side was a rabble with no will to fight and traitors among its members.

You could say the enemy is overwhelming you, and they just want to terminate the deal... They've switched sides and want to run away, but the mole inside their own ranks probably won't allow it.

Golden Team: Taichu, your head smells so good!

On the first day the two armies met, they tacitly set up camp. On the side of the Three Cities Alliance, except for Tai Chu, who was full of confidence and kept shouting like an idiot, "Attack, attack, and attack again."

To put it bluntly, the military commanders of the Three Cities Alliance only need Tai Chu's gold. If they listened to him completely, there would be no need to fight. They might as well just order the entire army to "commit suicide" the next moment.

However, the fact that both sides were tacitly building their camps did not mean that the two sides were at peace.

"I am Barristan Selmy, Kingsguard of His Majesty King Viserys III of House Targaryen. Are there any warriors among you who will fight for the three city-states?"

A lone rider in white armor and robes, carrying a lance, led by seven white-robed guards armed with swords and shields, roared outside the camp.

"I'll offer a hundred gold dragons for this knight's head!" Tychu shouted to the people around him, pointing at Barristan.

A generous reward always attracts brave men, and immediately a mercenary mounted his warhorse, took his lance, charged out of the camp, and rushed towards Barristan.

"My name is Big Henry!"

The mercenary was so excited that his face turned red. He rode his warhorse with his lance in hand, as if he could already see his opponent being stabbed off his horse.

Barristan said nothing, but rode forward to meet them.

The two horses clashed, the wooden shield shattered, and with a bloodcurdling scream, the mercenary Henry fell from his horse, clutching his neck in agony.

In one round, Henry was defeated and killed, while Barristan won unscathed.

"Are there any knights among you?" Barristan threw away his broken lance, took another from the white-robed man beside him, and roared at the enemy camp.

"Damn it, who else is going! One hundred and fifty golden dragons!" Taichu's face flushed red as he turned to look at the mercenaries around him.

No one stepped forward.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the show, while experts see the details. Do you think they can't see how powerful Barristan is?

"Three hundred golden dragons!"

Oh, so you're paying extra!

Upon hearing about the three hundred golden dragons, another person stepped forward—a seasoned mercenary veteran who looked to be about the same age as Barristan.

He took his bow and arrows and went out of the camp. Fifty paces away from Barristan, he picked up the bow and arrows, ready to shoot Barristan.

"Bow and arrows!" A player in white robes had already handed Barristan the bow and arrows he was carrying when the other player came out of the camp.

For a seasoned veteran of the Imperial Guards, this situation was nothing more than a minor matter.

Whoosh!

With a single arrow piercing the throat, Barristan's arrow took the enemy's life first.

The old mercenary didn't even have time to groan before he fell off his horse, broke his neck, and died.

Yes, I'm getting old, I can fall asleep whenever I want, even on the battlefield.

The old mercenary uses a bow and arrow against Barristan; the old mercenary falls into eternal sleep, and Barristan wins.

"He's just an old man! I'll offer five hundred... I'll offer a thousand gold dragons, who will take his head for me!"

Taichu's face was so red it looked like it could bleed, and he raised his arm and waved it to express his anger.

But this time, even a thousand golden dragons seemed unable to move these ordinary soldiers.

Some money, even if you get it, you might not be able to spend it.

Besides, the two short-lived men before them didn't even get to touch the gold before they died.

"I'll give you a thousand gold coins first! If you win, I'll give you another thousand!"

Taichu shouted with great pride.

This time, someone was moved and said that he would send the golden dragon to the address. Then he rode out of the camp, but before Tai Chu could turn around to look, the mercenary had already been carried back to the camp by the warhorse.

An arrow was clearly visible through the eye of the corpse carried on the warhorse, having pierced the back of the mercenary's head.

"what!"

Taichu was shocked by the horrific scene he witnessed and refused to bring up the matter of war again.

Of course, no one mentioned the mercenary's golden dragon...
