Game of Thrones: Summoning the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 74: Let's start today by setting a bad precedent for the messenger.

"Ha, please forgive my honesty, it's hard to sit at the same table with such a fake friend!"

The Braavos envoy wore a look of disdain, but inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. He had genuinely feared that the Targaryens had brought even greater benefits than he had brought on this trip, and had persuaded the Loras to stand with them.

But I was overthinking it. And it's true, when it comes to wealth, who can compare to the Iron Treasury? When it comes to trade, who can compare to the Braavos purple-ship trading fleet?

However, it now seems that the other party is either extremely poor or that beggar king living in Pentos, who arrogantly believes that everyone in the world should bow down to him.

Hmph, what an arrogant fellow.

The three sea kings sitting across the long table also looked rather grim, even though their subordinates had told them before the messenger entered that this envoy from Targaryen had brought nothing with him.

But you haven't even made any verbal promises of benefits, so what are you even talking about with us?

Unexpectedly, Jiang Gan's next words made all three of them laugh in anger.

"I have come here to rescue Loras. Do the three princes not know that you are in grave danger?" Jiang Gan said slowly.

"Please send the messenger out!" The fisherman, Sea King, suddenly stood up and ordered the attendants and guards around him.

The messenger from Braavos smiled broadly, having initially thought it was an adversary, only to find it was a clown.

puff!

The envoy's smile froze on his face as Jiang Gan gripped a gleaming bread knife and plunged it into the envoy's neck.

The knife was pulled out, and blood gushed out.

The messenger tried to cover his neck, but Jiang Qianmin stabbed him again and again without expression until the people around him reacted and rushed over to subdue him.

But it was no use now, because the messenger from Braavos was already dead.

In this situation, unless the gods help, it's unlikely that anyone can save this messenger.

"You! You killed him!" The King of Harvest stared in disbelief at the Targaryen emissary who was pinned to the ground, stubbornly raising his face.

"This...isn't this obvious!" Jiang Gan was struggling to breathe, but a smile appeared on his face.

boom!

The door to the inner chamber of the council chamber was violently pushed open, and two tall guards stood on either side, each holding a halberd. Then, a group of richly dressed nobles stormed out.

"Look what you've done, you damned bastard!"

An elderly man dressed as a wealthy merchant pointed angrily at Jiang Gan, who was being pinned to the ground.

"Of course I know that Loras and the Targaryen messengers killed the messengers of Braavos."

"Regardless, the man died in Loras. What do you think the Sea King of Braavos will think?"

Jiang Gan said it without a care.

"Kill him! Give his body to the Braavos!" shouted a nobleman.

"Hand him over to the Braavos! They need us. Even if Aquaman is suspicious, he won't do anything to us!" a priest shouted.

"That's right! But what happens after the Braavos win? You'll be in the wrong, and in the war, the Braavos will put you at the forefront, and you'll suffer countless deaths and injuries."

"When they achieve victory, won't Loras, who fought us to a standstill, become nothing more than a piece of meat in the mouths of the Braavos?"

Jiang Gan spoke fluently and confidently, appearing completely unconcerned.

"On the other hand, we Targaryens do not need the Lorasians' troops. We only require you to remain neutral in the upcoming war, and my king will reward you handsomely!"

Seeing that his words had choked everyone present, Jiang Qian swallowed hard and continued, still clinging to his tiger skin.

"Release the messenger!"

After whispering among themselves, the members of the governor's council had roughly reached an agreement. The wealthy merchant, who was the most prestigious among them, was the first to order the guards to loosen their grip.

His angry expression then softened, and he stepped forward to personally help Jiang Qian to his seat.

I was just joking around!

The group sat down again, but the messenger from Braavos lay in a pool of blood before being dragged away by his servants like a rag doll.

The three sea kings were placed in the main seats and remained silent.

Jiang Gan, who had just been pinned to the ground, was now being treated as an honored guest.

"Envoy, it's not that we don't trust you, but we simply haven't seen His Majesty Viserys's sincerity!"

A pastor slowly spoke, though he hated the other party to the core, but the deed was done, and for his own benefit, he had no choice but to ask.

Upon hearing this, the other members of the governor's council all turned their attention to Jiang Gan. Although you have explained the pros and cons clearly, you came empty-handed, which does not demonstrate your sincerity.

Jiang Gan knew perfectly well that coming empty-handed meant no sincerity, and more importantly, he was an imposter, having received no permission or support from Viserys beforehand.

He came with the intention of getting something for nothing, and his strategy was to use a friendly approach to force Ying Bu to rebel.

Looks like I'll have to make grand promises to fool these guys. Anyway, we beat Braavos, so losing to Loras is no big deal. Who knows, Viagra might be going to beat Loras next.

As for what will happen if the Targaryen envoy and diplomacy become enemies in the future? Jiang Gan said: I am a secret policeman, not a diplomat or envoy. What does the flood have to do with me?

Having made up his mind, Jiang Gan coughed twice. His confident aura made many meeting members who were secretly observing him breathe a sigh of relief. Judging from his appearance, the benefits he offered would be substantial.

No wonder they dared to come empty-handed to solicit allies; it turns out they had a huge pie to rely on.

"The two companies will share everything in Lafors equally!"

The words are not surprising and die endlessly.

Jiang Qian's soft words made everyone present hold their breath and remain speechless for a long time.

For a moment, the hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

After a long silence, the old man sitting next to Jiang Gan finally spoke, tentatively asking:

"Is the envoy joking? Braavos's fleet is unparalleled, and the Iron Treasury's funds can be used to build a mercenary army of tens of thousands of people at any time. Winning battles is easy, but to divide them equally among Braavos, the envoy must be playing around."

Although it was a question, the old man's tone carried a hint of certainty.

Jiang Gan smiled contemptuously upon hearing this:

"Everyone knows of Braavos's invincible fleet, but his fleet can't even reach land. As for the Iron Treasury? Every soldier in my king's army is a warrior capable of taking on ten men. No matter how many mercenary groups they send, my king will break through them one by one!"

The members of the governor's council began whispering again.

"How many years has it been? How many years has Loras been poor? Do you all wish to be endlessly mired in this? This is your only chance! The Braavos people may have an invincible naval fleet!"

But my king also has an invincible army of justice! They are no match for the mercenaries hired by the Braavos. Unless the enemy moves by land and sea, the advantage is on our side!
