Chapter 97 Red Venomous Snake
Chapter 97 Red Viper (sixth update)
"The Jiao Ling Tali family... demands compensation of ninety-six thousand gold dragons."
Alf was too lazy to resist. He had already seen that the other party was determined to empty Starfall City's treasury.
No, not only Starfall City, but also the treasury of Gaoyin City.
"Finally, it's Eagle's Beak Island." Samwell sighed and said, "I really suffered heavy losses in this war!"
Natalie comforted her thoughtfully: "Don't worry, Sir Caesar, our Starfall City will definitely compensate you for all your losses!"
Samwell pretended to be grateful, and then said:
"First of all, due to Urric Sand's previous invasion of Yingzui Island, my dock was completely destroyed. Therefore, I request the expropriation of Starfall City's dock as compensation for a period of 99 years."
Alf rolled his eyes. What kind of broken dock is Yingzui Island? The dock in Starfall City needs to be expropriated to compensate?
Still 99 years?
Why don't you just grab it!
But he also knew that his opposition would have no effect, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
"Secondly, my territory was burned to the ground in this war, so Starfall City must send 7,000 young men to Yingzui Island to help me rebuild my territory.
Samwell put away the parchment and hid it close to his body. At this time, he was secretly glad that Natalie had signed it. Unless the Martell family broke out and refused to recognize her inheritance rights, the Dane family must pay these compensations.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Horace was dizzy after being bombarded by Samwell. Seeing that there was no one else to support him, he had to give up.
Earl Landao was stunned for a moment and said: "Invite him in."
In fact, it’s not that he has to bully the little girl and trick her into signing so many war compensation, but that he must weaken the Dane family as much as possible, otherwise a powerful Starfall City will not be willing to be controlled by him, Nata
Li's position as city lord is also unstable.
"The conditions are very good." Natalie nodded in a serious manner, "The work there on Yingzui Island pays quite well, and the food is good. I believe the people of the Dane family will like it there."
Samwell thought that the old steward was going to question him again, but when he looked up, he found that it was Horace Redwin who stood up.
But just when everyone was about to go to the Dane family's treasury and turn it inside out, a guard suddenly ran in from the door and reported:
"My lords, His Highness Prince Oberyn has arrived at Starfall City and is outside the castle gate at the moment."
"He's the only one..."
"Haha, I'm afraid you don't know. In this war, I almost used up all the brandy reserves that I brewed for three months. Calculated at ten silver coins per gallon, it's not a small amount. What's more, I mobilized the Eagle this time
Almost all the young people in Zuiyu participated in the war, and territory construction, brandy brewing, silver mining and other work were all suspended. Do you know how much damage was caused? Not to mention that my subjects had to evacuate and fled, and even witnessed it with my own eyes.
Do you know how much psychological trauma it is to see your home being ruined and burned down? And..."
As for whether the Martell family will really break up with each other, Samwell believes that the possibility is very low.
After a while, Earl Landao, who had been silent before, said: "The Red Viper arrived very quickly. How many troops did he bring with him?"
Alf, the butler, was already rolling his eyes.
After all, Prince Oberyn, the "Red Viper", should be the most dangerous man in the Martell family and even the entire Dorne.
Samwell knew that this guy was just jealous.
"Oh." Natalie signed her name on it obediently.
Therefore, although most of the knights of the Seven Kingdoms despised this person, they were also extremely wary of him and even secretly feared him.
After all, after this battle, it will be difficult for Dorne to be able to fight another battle with the Reach in the short term.
"Sir Horace, what do you think?"
In addition, my soldiers and people suffered heavy casualties in this war, plus the loss of property and materials, etc., the Dane family must compensate 80,000 gold dragons."
Horace snorted softly: "I have no problem with the Florentine family and the Tully family taking so much, but how many soldiers did you have in total on Yingzui Island to participate in the war? Do you need so much compensation?"
What's more, Prince Daolang is famous for his tolerance. If his hot-tempered daughter hadn't jumped out to cause trouble this time, the war would not have expanded to this scale.
But in Samwell's eyes, this is probably the most wonderful thing in the world at the moment.
"yes."
With eight thousand golden dragons, I can already explain to Earl Paxter when I go back.
Natalie's handwriting is not pretty. Although Ashara has taught her to read and write, she doesn't have many opportunities to write.
As soon as they heard Prince Oberyn's name, the smiles on everyone's faces in the Reach immediately disappeared.
After speaking, he handed the quill and parchment to Natalie and said:
"Come on, Miss Natalie, if you have no objection to this war compensation list, just sign at the back."
After all, life is your own. As for the things belonging to the Dane family... that young lady doesn't cherish it herself. Why should he, an outsider, care about so much?
The hall suddenly became quiet.
After looking around and seeing no one objecting, Samwell continued:
"Finally, in order to prevent another conflict between the two places in the future, I think the best way is to strengthen cultural, commercial and personnel exchanges. Therefore, Starfall City and Gaoyin City must fully exempt goods from Yingzui Island, and Dane
The family shall not prevent its subjects from voluntarily going to Yingzui Island to work, live, or even settle down.”
Alf wanted to step forward several times to grab the quill and tear up the compensation list, but in the end, he still did not dare to take action.
The Knights of the Reach especially hated this man because he was the one who crippled Willas Tyrell, the eldest son of the Duke of Mace and the heir to Highgarden.
After all, the absolute main forces on the Reach side in this war are the Florentine family and the Tully family. Now that these two families are obviously supporting Samwell, Horace knows that he has no say.
After signing, the faces of the River Bend nobles present showed excitement, because it was finally time to harvest.
As the younger brother of Prince Doran, the ruler of Dorne, Prince Oberyn, although of noble birth, has a violent and violent personality. He often fights with others to the death, and even resorts to poisoning, which seriously damages his reputation.
"Wait a moment."
While thinking about it, Samwell saw a tall figure appearing at the door.
Samwell smiled and patted the girl on the shoulder: "I have always been generous to the people who work for me. Whether they are Riverbend people, Dornish people or wildlings."
It was a middle-aged man wearing an orange, yellow, and red silk robe. He had a high nose bridge, a narrow forehead, short black shiny hair, and very light eyebrows. Below him was a pair of eyes as black as eternal night, always flashing with a dangerous light.
, like a poisonous snake.
"People of the Reach." Prince Oberyn walked into the hall alone, but he seemed to be leading an army.
His cold eyes swept across the faces of the river bend nobles one by one, and he said in a questioning tone:
"Where's my niece?"
