Chapter 260: Capture the Disputed Land

"Are you sent by Tragg O'Molon?" Lind looked at the woman in front of him. When he heard her words, he already knew that she had left Jorah Mormont and became Tragg O'Molon. Lun's mistress.

"Yes, Lord Linde." Linnis looked at Linde calmly, took out the surrender agreement handed over to her by the dignitaries of Lys, and said: "This is the surrender agreement signed by the governor of Lys and the trade princes. By agreement, they recognize your dominion over Lys and the Disputed Lands."

Lind didn't glance at the agreement, but asked a completely irrelevant question, "Where is Jorah Mormont?"

A trace of sadness flashed across Linis's face and she said, "He has left me and gone to Pentos alone."

"He left you?" Lind seemed to be more interested in Jorah and her affairs at the moment, and asked curiously: "Didn't you abandon him?"

"Did I abandon him?" Linnis smiled disdainfully and said, "I never thought of abandoning him. If I had wanted to abandon him, I would not have come to Reese with him in the first place. I would have gone back to Old Town directly. He could still live a good life. I had proposed taking refuge in the Old Town. After all, no matter how loud the wolf's cry was, it would not have any effect in such a distant place. But his pride did not allow him to live there. In my father's territory, he was willing to come to Reese to work hard and suffer. He thought he could rise again, but in the end, he couldn't even be a mercenary. After that, he couldn't even live a sustainable life. He was kicked out of the hotel and had no food. He has no solution to the problem of not being able to eat. He only knows how to drink. But I have solved our life problems, but he despises me and curses me for ruining him.”

Linde said solemnly: "Your so-called solution to the problem is to become Trigg O'Molen's mistress?"

"Lord Linde, do you also look down on me?" Linnis raised her head, making herself look more arrogant, and said: "I don't know how to weave, I don't know how to forge, and I don't have much knowledge. I can't be a noble of Lys." Tutor, I can't lower my head and go to a brothel to wash clothes for prostitutes. All I can use is my beauty. I want to live and live well, but my husband can't do all this. I can only do it by myself, am I wrong?”

Lind didn't give any comment. He just asked doubtfully: "I met Jorah Mormont in Bello Town and lent him two thousand gold dragons. Logically speaking, no matter how lavish you are, I should spend all the two thousand gold dragons so quickly."

"Didn't I say it? He can't even be a mercenary." Linis said with an obvious expression of contempt on her face: "When he came back, he was attacked and all the money he had was taken away. It was I who sold all the jewelry and found the best pharmacist in Reese to rescue him from the brink of death. It was also me who sold my body and became someone else's mistress to get money so that he could recover, but what about him? ? Just a cowardly man who has no responsibility!"

Lynys didn't say any more, her disgust for Jorah was already palpable.

Linde could not make any judgment on who was right and who was wrong between Jorah and his wife, because neither of them could be trusted. Lynys was definitely not as innocent as she said, at least in terms of her lavish spending. It is the source of all the disasters for this couple, and Jorah is definitely not as obedient to Lynys as he shows. Otherwise, as Lynys said, they went to settle in Oldtown, and Stark The death penalty is unlikely to cause any harm to him, and he can still live a comfortable life, at least much more comfortable than in Reese.

After satisfying his curiosity for a while, Lind returned his attention to the topic, expressing his acceptance of Reese's affiliation, and wrote down several instructions for Trigg and others to execute, and handed them to Linis.

When Linnis left, Lind asked: "After Reese's matter is over, I will send you back to Old Town, or to settle in Summer Hall or Highgarden. I think Mrs. Ellery and Moloa should Glad you could..."

Linnis didn't wait for Lind to finish, then she shook her head and said, "No need! I'm living a good life now. Trigg is very good to me. He buys me everything I want. I'm happy with my current life." very satisfied."

After saying that, he boarded the waiting boat and sailed quickly towards the Lys sailboat he came on.

"I didn't expect that Miss Linnis would become someone else's mistress." Jon said with emotion: "I'm afraid those suitors in Old Town would die of grief."

"Suitor? Including you? Does Mrs. Victoria know about this?" Lind asked with a smile.

Jon quickly shook his head in denial and said, "Sir, this is not a joke."

Lind smiled and turned back to the captain's cabin, followed closely by Jon.

A surrender agreement signed by all the governors and trade princes was secretly sent out of Lys and into the hands of Lind. The Volantis occupying forces stationed in Lys still don't know about it at all.

The warships of the Three Sea Monsters Alliance led by Linde advanced to the sea off Lys and were discovered by the Volantis patrol fleet. The fleet of the Volantis occupying forces immediately set off to intercept at sea, and the fleet also took away the occupying forces when it left. Nearly 70% of the troops.

For the Volantis occupying army, Linde was obviously much more dangerous than the Lys nobles who had bowed their heads and surrendered, so all their attention fell on Linde, and the occupying army Construction of fortifications at the docks was also begun to prevent Linde's ships from docking.

However, just as everyone was waiting for news of the interception fleet at sea, those Lis dignitaries who were thought to have given up resistance led their soldiers and servants to suddenly attack the dock, not only defeating the unsuspecting Varan Theis occupied the army and drove them out of the dock. Then they drove all the ships to the seaport and blocked them there to prevent Volantis' defeated fleet from landing at the dock smoothly when it returned.

However, what they thought about the defeat of the Volantis fleet did not happen, because before the Volantis fleet appeared in front of Linde, it was attacked. The Sea Dragon Glutton directly killed several ships of the fleet. The command flagship was swallowed up and burned, and all the people on board were burned to death without exception. The entire Volantis fleet lost its commander, and was surrounded by the fleet of the Three Sea Monsters Alliance and had to surrender.

When Lind's fleet, carrying the captured Volantis ship, appeared in the waters near Lys dock, the Volantis general who was still storming the dock finally knew that the situation was over and had to declare surrender, but he surrendered The object is not Reese, but Linde's Summer Hall.

What happened in Lys soon spread back to Volantis along with the merchant ships that were released after the war.

The entire Volantis was shaken by this, and both the Tiger Party and the Elephant Party were furious. Many people suggested that they immediately send troops north along the river to attack Na Sa and capture Nymeria, giving Linde A lesson, and Nymeria can be used as a bargaining chip in exchange.

However, as soon as this proposal was made, someone poured cold water on it, because now Nymeria has at least 20,000 warriors who can fight. With her current strength, let alone attack her, Wa Lantis still needs to beware of Soti and cooperate with Linde's army to flank Volantis.

Although nearly a thousand years have passed, Volantis still has fresh memories of being besieged by the Rhoynar, and if it is besieged again this time, hundreds of dragons will not appear to help them rescue the siege.

After serious discussions, the Volantis decided to negotiate with Linde to see if the crisis could be resolved through negotiation.

"Lord Linde, you have gone too far!" Elios Chihda, the Tiger Party executive who has a very good relationship with Shengxia Hall, is naturally the first choice for negotiations, so after receiving the order, he went to In a short time, he hurried to Reese and saw Linde who was handling official business at the Governor's Mansion in Reese.

"I have received news that you have blocked the Lorne River, closed the branch of the Miracle Chamber of Commerce, arrested my people, and seized the supplies destined for Na Sa. Lord Elios, is this happening?" Linde ignored Elios' anger, but looked at him calmly and said slowly.

The expression on Elios's face became a little stiff, and he didn't know how to answer Lind's question for a while.

In order to occupy Lys, Volantis has been preparing for a long time, and even in order to convince the Elephant Party, the Tiger Party also gave up a lot of benefits. As a result, they only occupied Lys for less than half a month, and Lys changed hands. This made How could they bear it.

There are many impulsive people in the Tiger Party. They directly attack the Miracle Chamber of Commerce and Na Sa Star before the governors have made a decision, hoping to force Lind to spit out Reese, and wait until the governors find out. , it’s too late, and more importantly they can’t accuse this behavior yet.

"This was not my idea." Elios could only explain for himself.

"I know this can't be your idea." Lind said solemnly: "But have you thought about the consequences of this matter? Does Volantis want to go to war with me?"

Elios felt strong pressure from Lind, but he still held on, took a deep breath, and said seriously: "It is you who want to start a war with Volantis and the Free Trade City."

Linde smiled, took out three parliamentary proposals from the box on the side, put them on the table, and said: "I occupied the disputed places such as Lys, Tyrosh, and Myr and obtained the parliaments of the three major city-states. The formal proposal allowed, and the three major city-states handed over the rule to me in a formal way. But what about Volantis? When you occupied Lys, did you get permission from Lys? Without you, there is nothing. In this case, why do you say that I want to start a war with Volantis? "

Elios looked at the parliamentary proposals of the three major city-states in front of him, and couldn't help but have the urge to tear them all up, but he could only think about it in his mind. If he made any changes, he would not If he needs to take action, the Redemption Sisters and Silent Monks next to him will kill him on the spot.

When Nymeria passed through Volantis not long ago, she showed the Volantis the power of the Sisters of Redemption and the Silent Monks, and he was still deeply impressed.

"Another point is that you made a mistake accidentally or deliberately. Volantis is Volantis, and the Free Trade City is a Free Trade City. They cannot be confused." Linde continued: "Do you think the Free Trade City will Will you stand up for Volantis? No, not to mention Qohor and Norvos. Braavos wants to destroy Volantis, which promotes the slave trade. Only Pentos can send troops, but it dares to do so now. Send troops? If it sends troops, then I will have an excuse to attack Pentos, and the governors of Pentos cannot give me such an excuse."

Although Elios didn't like what Linde said, he knew that what Linde said was true. The entire Free Trade City and Volantis had some grudges, including Pentos. Seeing Volantis' misfortune, he wanted to step on him, so how could he help him?

"It is impossible for them to allow a Westeros man to annex the disputed land." Elios said solemnly.

"Yes, they are indeed not willing to let me rule the disputed land, but what can they do?" Linde sighed and said: "You and I have a very good relationship, and there is no need for me to lie to you. It’s impossible to give up, and Volantis doesn’t have the ability to take away the disputed land from my hands, so instead of having these useless arguments with me here, you might as well discuss something more practical with me.”

"What real thing?" Elios asked.

"For example, the gem mine in the disputed area." Linde said calmly.

Elios breathed heavily and said, "Are you willing to give up the mining rights to the gem mine?"

Linde nodded and said: "Not only the gem mines, but also other mineral deposits in the disputed areas, I can hand them over to the people of the Free Trade City for mining, but only if they are mined according to my rules."

"What are your rules?" Elios looked questioning.

Linde, who was well prepared, took out a mining agreement and placed it in front of Elios.

Elios took it over and looked through it quickly, then immediately shook his head and said: "Such conditions are too harsh, and we cannot agree to it."

"No, it's not harsh at all!" Linde shook his head and said: "My people have made detailed calculations. If you mine according to my agreement, you can still make money, just not that much. But every year Everyone has a stable income, and you don’t need to send someone to take care of it. You save a commission, and what ends up falling into your pockets are real gold coins.”

After listening to Linde's words, Elios was silent for a moment, then picked up the agreement he had just put down and read it again. This time he read it more seriously. After reading it again, he emphatically Find the part that interests him and read it again.

Elios said solemnly: "I will bring this agreement to them, but I cannot guarantee whether I will agree to it in the end."

Lind nodded and said: "To show sincerity, I will let you take Volantis' fleet back with you. However, you have lost a few flagships and some people. I hope you don't mind."

A smile also appeared on Elios's face. Although he failed to bring back Lys this time, it was already a success if he could bring back the fleet. This would also have a great impact on his reputation in Volantis. A little help.
