Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

"Mercenaries," Haruy suddenly shouted, "your captain refused to kill the bastard in front of you for the sake of his honor, because he did not dare to offend the Lannister family, and he wanted to revive his family. Take back his grandfather's castle and he will live in Westeros."

Harui knew that he could not prove that Ian was a fake, so he simply admitted that he was the illegitimate son of the Lannister family.

"But you don't have to. I'm offering a bounty of 80 gold dragons on his head. With this money, you can fly far away, leave the days of licking blood on the edge of a knife, and go to Essos to live a prosperous life." Harui Holding his money bag high, this is considered a complete stud.

In an instant, the mercenaries who had been quiet due to Sir Carmel's order became restless again.

80 gold dragons is a huge amount of money that these mercenaries have never seen in their lives. In the face of such temptation, what is the honor of a captain? No matter what the threat of the Lannister family is, go to see the White Walkers on horseback!

"He is a piece of meat on the chopping board now. Don't look at your companions. Just do it. The fewer people who do it, the more money you will get." Haruy encouraged again, and then looked at Ian proudly, but Ian's expression made Harui freeze.

Because of Ian he was laughing too.

Harui turned around in surprise and found Kamel glaring at him angrily. Only then did Harui realize that he had crossed the line by directly trading with Kamel's mercenaries.

But so what? With Kammer's dedication to honor, could he still kill his employer?

"You will still protect me, right? You swore to me." Harui smiled confidently, with a hint of madness on his face, "You won't become an oathbreaker, right?"

Kammer turned his face and did not answer but acquiesced to Harui's words.

"Hahahaha!" After getting the satisfactory answer, Harui's laughter became even louder, and he looked at Ian again.

You. You. You bastard! You are still laughing! Why are you?

Why are you laughing? Why do you have such a mocking expression on your face? You are richer than me, but what's the use?

I can use money to incite these mercenaries to kill you because they can kill you, but you can't let them kill me, let alone double it, so what if you offer ten times or a hundred times the price? With Kammer and his soldiers protecting me, those instigated mercenaries did not hurt my capital at all!

In front of them, there is no option to kill me!

I'm invincible! And you have been killed by me, and the victory or defeat has been decided!

"Protect me and wait for my attendant to arrive later. I will pay you the same reward as him." Ian said lightly to the mercenaries surrounding him, then looked at Harui and responded with a joking expression. smile.

Then, Harui's smile froze directly on his face. It took him about half a minute to understand the meaning of Ian's words, and then he suddenly felt that he had not lost unfairly.

Because if it were him, he would definitely not be able to respond so perfectly.

There are at least two shrewdnesses in the counterfeit illegitimate son's response. First, he just wanted to save his life, but did not want to instigate these mercenaries to kill him.

If the condition for the fake illegitimate son to the mercenaries was to kill him, then the mercenaries would not dare to take it even if he offered ten times the price due to Kammer's strength and long-term prestige.

It's a pity that the fake bastard took retreat to advance and gave up killing himself, thereby avoiding a direct conflict with his biggest supporter-Sir Carmel. Carmel had planned to let that guy go, as long as he didn't If he embarrasses himself, Kammer will definitely not embarrass him.

The second shrewdness of the fake illegitimate son is that he clearly wanted to pay a 'ransom' to save his life, but he did not directly offer to take money in exchange for his life, but instead offered to pay these people who 'protected' him. The mercenary pays his ransom in the form of 'remuneration'.

From 'ransom' to 'reward', a small change in the name completely changed the nature of the event.

If he offered to pay a ransom in exchange for his life after being threatened by the mercenaries, then the relationship between the two parties is hostile, and the mercenaries need to worry about retaliation from the Lannister family even if they get the money.

And by paying the ransom in the form of 'remuneration', he defined his relationship with the mercenaries as 'employment cooperation', which was equivalent to giving up the reason for revenge.

In this era where everyone pursues 'claim rights' and 'famous teachers', the actions of the fake illegitimate son of a 'noble' are tantamount to giving the mercenaries a reassurance.

"It's an honor to serve you." Sure enough, a mercenary who originally planned to attack Ian began to bow and swear an oath.

"My sword belongs to you." The mercenaries surrounding Ian turned their sides one after another. Even the mercenaries who were originally hesitant and did not participate in the siege of Ian also came to Ian's side to swear an oath.

For the mercenaries, this is a choice that does not need to be considered, because taking Ian's money not only complies with Captain Kammer's previous decision to 'let Ian go', but there is no need to worry about the Lannister family. Taking revenge and traveling away from home without even having to do anything is almost tantamount to having sex for nothing.

But taking Haruy's money would involve risking revenge from the Lannister family and making a judgment.

So soon, only five personal guards were left around Kammer, and everyone else gathered around Ian.

"The form has been reversed." Ian snapped his fingers and looked at Harui with a smile.

"I thought this move was a sure win, but there's no such thing as a reversal of the situation, right?" Harui had already admitted defeat in his heart, but he still tried to regain some face for himself, "For me, Say, the worst result is just a draw, right?"

Ian didn't answer, just looked at Haruy quietly.

"What, do you still want to kill me?" Harui was immediately angered by Ian's obvious contemptuous attitude, and he looked back at Kammer beside him.

"Sir Ian, you swore an oath." Kammer failed to understand the conversation between his employer and the Lannister bastard, but he still reminded Ian aloud.

"Yes, I swore an oath, on the honor of the Lannister family." Ian nodded, looking coldly at the end of the dirt road leading from the salt well to the town.

The setting sun gradually cast a thin shadow on the ground through the treetops. Two knights riding side by side appeared in people's sight. They were both wearing full plate armor, one was light green and the other was pure black. .

The knight in light green plate armor wore a closed helmet, and the visor was lifted above his head, revealing a bearded face, which looked particularly intimidating with his strong physique. He was riding a horse with a red hood. The tall war horse in robes carries a thick iron-clad round shield on its back.

The other knight is a bit stronger than the knight in light green plate armor. He is more than seven feet tall and carries a five-and-a-half-foot-long two-handed giant sword on his back. He has no helmet on his head and has a light brown head. He has long hair hanging down his head, sharp eyes, and his overall facial features are very handsome for a person of his size.

"My attendant is here." Ian smiled and said to the mercenaries around him, and the mercenaries followed his gaze and looked towards the end of the road.

No one noticed that Ian clenched his fist slightly, retracted his fingers into his palm, and even his breathing gradually became faster.

"Servant?" After hearing Ian's words, the old mercenary Adam, who had been pretending to be the foreman just now, looked at the two approaching knights in full armor and was shocked from ear to ear. "Seven levels of hell! Your servants are all wearing Full plate armor?"

I heard that a set of that thing costs at least ten golden dragons.

"There is no way. I am an illegitimate child. If I don't be more generous to my subordinates, how can anyone be willing to follow me?" Ian quickly adjusted back to his state. He shook his head pretending to be bitter, "After all, I am poor. There is only money left.”

"The money is good."

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing." The old mercenary shook his head quickly.

Soon, as the two knights approached, the mercenary team entered a state of alert.

They originally thought that the attendants Ian was talking about were two ordinary half-year-old children, so the sudden appearance of these two heavily armored knights gave them a deep sense of oppression.

"Relax, I said those are my attendants, they brought everyone's commission." Ian said loudly while looking at the old mercenary Adam.

"Put down your weapons!" the old mercenary said quickly to the people around him, "Sir Ian is our employer, what are you talking about?"

Obviously, Adam's reputation among these young mercenaries was not low. After what he said, the mercenaries were still wary, but at least they took back their weapons.

Upon seeing this, Ian nodded to the old mercenary, then raised one hand above his head and made a stop gesture. He shouted to the knight five meters away: "Just stop there."

As expected, the two knights stopped where they were.

"That old dog, throw 80 gold dragons over here, pay attention, it's throwing." Ian ordered, he knew that the two knights now carried more than 80 gold dragons.

The two knights looked at each other for seven seconds before finally deciding who was the old dog. Then the 'old dog' wearing light green plate armor untied the bag hanging by his leg and began to count the golden dragons.

"That knight?" The old mercenary wanted to say knight. After all, the knight counting the gold coins looked a bit too majestic, but he quickly stopped and changed his words, "That attendant's name is... old dog?"

"The son of a kitchen cook, he comes from a humble background. He followed me before my father took me back to the castle. This is his nickname," Ian explained. "I mean, he's a little stupid, but he's very loyal. Wait until I get it back." If he has a surname, I will look for an opportunity to canonize him."

"Canonize the son of a cook?" The old mercenary couldn't believe his ears.

"Loyal service will be generously rewarded. This is my principle, and illegitimate children will never despise others because of their origins, because from the beginning, we are not nobler than anyone else." Ian smiled self-deprecatingly. .

"He is so lucky to meet a gentleman like you."

"Haha, actually I'm just thinking about it now. After all, it might take more than half a year for my father to recover from his injury and marry my mother. After that, I can become a real Lannister." Ian waved his hand.

Then, Ian turned to the green-armored knight who had already counted the gold coins, nodded to him, and motioned for him to throw the gold coins over.

The green-armored knight grabbed the gold coins and divided them three times before throwing them all out. The golden dragons scattered on the ground immediately attracted a rush of mercenaries.

"Lannister has paid off his debt, farewell to you all." Ian took the opportunity to mount his horse, and then ran in the direction of the two knights.

Ian glanced back at Harui halfway through, and that look made Harui feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Haruy didn't know why, he just felt an unknown premonition rising from his heart.

"Captain Kammer, I want to leave, take me away now! Now!" Harui said hurriedly.

"Be of good cheer, Sir Ian has sworn that he"

"He's not a Lannister at all!" Harui roared.

"You're here again." Kammer was a little helpless. He didn't understand why his employer kept struggling with this issue.

"Anyway, I'm leaving now," Harui gave up the plan to continue explaining and climbed onto an old horse in a hurry. Due to his poor riding skills, he tightly held the horse's neck with both hands and urged again. , "Let's go quickly, let's go quickly!"

Upon seeing this, Kammer did not insist anymore, but gave the order to the guards around him to set off.

But to his surprise, none of the cronies around him moved. They all stood there, staring blankly at the direction of the setting sun.

Kammer was suspicious and followed the gazes of the mercenaries. He saw Ian, who had already come to the side of the two knights, holding a gold bar above his head. The red gold was particularly dazzling in the setting sun. , exuding the intoxicating halo like a fairy tale.
