Chapter 146 The Envoys from Three Cities

Volantis, the overlord of southwestern Essos, was much more powerful than Tyrosh and Myr, and the number of towns and villages under its control was significantly greater than theirs.

Even the coastal cleanup by Gavin's fleet was not as easy as before, and the town's garrison was stronger, but with Hassan's actions, countless spoils were still continuously transported to Lys.

At this time, the Port of Lys had become a huge transit station. The warehouses in the port and its vicinity were already full, and countless ships shuttled back and forth between the Stepstones and Lys, transporting a large amount of captured materials and slaves.

Gavin was also very busy during this period, but he still managed to take time out every day to accompany Daenerys and Margaery. As time went on, the two women got used to each other's existence, so that Gavin was not too embarrassed to get along with them.

Two months later, a sailing warship of Gavin's fleet slowly sailed in, bringing envoys from the Three Cities. At this time, the Three Cities had already declined, and they were unable to even send warships to escort the envoys.

Tyrosh, where the situation was the most serious, was in a state of food shortage. The white flag symbolizing surrender was hung high on the top of the city for more than ten days, and the envoys were able to board Gavin's warship in a small boat.

The three envoys, escorted by the soldiers, walked into the hall trembling and uneasy.

When they saw Gavin sitting on the high seat, they immediately lowered their heads humbly, not daring to look up at him, fearing that they would anger the terrifying Dragon King if they were not careful, after all, the envoys who went on the mission last time had already turned into ashes.

Gavin looked calm, looked at the three people below with cold eyes, and then said with a bit of ridicule: "Tell me, what kind of threat have you brought to me this time?" Hearing Gavin's question, the three people were so scared that they dared not breathe, and instantly broke out in cold sweat.

The Tyroshi envoy hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Dragon King Gavin, I sincerely surrender to you on behalf of Tyroshi. The Great King was deceived by the traitor before, which caused some misunderstandings. In fact, Tyroshi has no intention of opposing you. I hope you will be generous and forgive our mistakes." The other two envoys also hurriedly echoed, saying words similar to begging for forgiveness.

After hearing this, Gavin looked at the Tyroshi envoy with sharp eyes and teased: "Messenger, I wonder who deceived the Great King?" After hearing this, the envoy was stunned and panicked in an instant: "Lord Dragon King, this...that..." In a hurry, the envoy's face turned red, and he hesitated for a long time, and couldn't say a complete sentence.

Seeing the other party in such an awkward state, Gavin said coldly: "As far as I know, it was Lord Theron who personally wrote a letter to invite Malachor Megya." Then, he looked at the Myr envoy and said: "And Myr has actively provided a place for the three cities to meet." After hearing this, the Myr envoy trembled involuntarily, lowered his head, and was silent, not daring to speak.

Gavin looked at the Volantis envoy and said, "Volantis not only actively participated in it, but also sent a consul to serve as the commander of the coalition forces, which shows that you attach great importance to this meeting. Malachor even sent envoys to threaten me after becoming the commander of the coalition forces."

The Volantis envoy immediately bowed and said respectfully, "Lord Dragon King, this is all Malachor's personal reckless behavior. Now the Volantis Noble Council has voted to remove his consul status. I come to you with the sincerity of peace to apologize."

After hearing this, Gavin's expression was still as calm as water, and he slowly said, "Three envoys, there is no need to rack your brains to find excuses. You just need to clearly know the fact that you have lost the war." After speaking, he waved his hand gently, and the Blood Dragon Guards on the side handed three parchments filled with dense text to the three of them.

As early as when Gavin just returned to Lis Island, he had carefully considered his request in advance. First, the other party must hand over all the dragon egg fossils and dragon bones. After all, these things are crucial to his strength improvement. Secondly, it is a very generous compensation. Although Gavin has seized enough food and population, it is still far from the money he seized. Most of the wealth of the trading city-states is concentrated in the city. Taking this opportunity, he can make the other party bleed a lot. Finally, it is strictly forbidden for the other party to establish a navy again. All route patrols will be taken over by Gavin's fleet, and the three cities must pay him military expenses every year to completely strangle the other party's trade routes and form an absolute suppression of the three cities at sea.

Gavin said lightly: "This is my request. As long as you can meet it, I can agree to your surrender."

The three took the parchment and read it carefully. Soon, the Volantis envoy put down the parchment first and said, "Lord Gavin, the first two demands for compensation are easy to deal with, but the last one, which is not allowing us to establish a navy, I really can't make the decision. I need to report to the three archons before I can give you a reply." The Myr envoy also said, "I can't make the decision either. I need to go back and let the Governor's Council discuss it."

After listening to this, Gavin nodded slightly, looked at the silent Tyroshi envoy, and said coldly: "What does Tyroshi mean?" After hearing this, the Tyroshi envoy seemed a little hesitant, but at this time Tyroshi had been trapped for two months. Without food, there might be a big chaos in the city. Moreover, Tyroshi was the closest trading city to Gavin, and the island where Tyroshi was located was within the range of the Stone Steps Islands. Even if the fleet could be rebuilt, what would it matter? Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Gavin, Tyroshi agrees to your request."

Hearing that he actually agreed, the envoys of Volantis and Myr opened their eyes in surprise and looked at each other with disbelief.

Gavin looked at the performance of the three people below, and finally showed a satisfied smile on his face. At this moment, the so-called three-city alliance might no longer exist.

Gavin said to the Tyroshi envoy: "In that case, then sign. After Tyroshi sends everything to Lys, I will lift the blockade on the sea."

The Tyroshi envoy nodded hurriedly, picked up the pen with trembling hands, and signed his name on the parchment. After signing, he thanked Gavin again, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead.

Gavin ignored his words of gratitude and glanced coldly at the other two envoys who were still hesitating. The two men looked pale and their lips were tightly closed, as if they were still thinking about countermeasures.

Gavin didn't look at them again, and then stood up, showing his majesty. As he strode away, he ordered the guards beside him: "Arrange a ship for them and send them back."

The guards bowed and accepted the order, and the three envoys left the hall with trepidation under the leadership of the soldiers.
