Quanyou: I loaded the Demon Hunter system

Chapter 171 Don't Kneel Me
"It's me, is it a surprise? Your Royal Highness?"

Looking at Clay sitting high on the throne, Oberon Martell suddenly had an extremely unreal feeling. Before coming, he and Ellaria counted countless possibilities of another throne, but But I didn't expect that it would be the current situation.

"As far as I know, the Manderly family probably never intermarried with the Targaryen or Velaryan families. If you are really Clay Manderly, how can you control dragons?"

Oberon stared fixedly at Clay with deep black pupils, trying to find even a little bit of unnaturalness on his face, but he was disappointed because Clay's faint smile didn't change at all.

"A reasonable statement, however, Your Royal Highness."

Clay's back left the throne, his body leaned forward slightly, and said lightly:
"Have you ever considered that there is more than one dragon king's blood in this world?"

A word, fell lightly, but exploded in Oberon's ears, the second blood of the dragon king, how is this possible?

But if Clay Manderly's identity is true, then Oberon really can't think of a second reasonable explanation. The reason why the Targaryens intermarried was to ensure the purity of their own blood. It is also deliberately narrowing the outflow speed of the blood vessels.

Although there are always family members who can't control their crotch and sow seeds everywhere in their own territory, but because most of the blood that flows out are illegitimate children, the probability of intermarriage with nobles is not high.

And once scattered among the people, after several generations and the blood of the common people has been diluted, the so-called blood of the Dragon King will no longer work.

"I'll have time to chat with you about this topic in the future. Now, you just need to know that my next generation's blood can still control dragons, and that's enough."

"I believe you should have seen my Galesos on the pier before you came here. I don't want to hear anything about bloodlines from your mouth."

Clay spoke bluntly, completely putting himself in the position of a monarch speaking to his subjects. This was a necessary blow to Oberon, or the Martell family.

His own joining will inevitably have an impact on the future status of the Martell family, and this is a very serious impact.

It turned out that the Martell family planned to invest in Daenerys Targaryen by themselves. Without the help of others, the husband would not know whether the husband was a king, but the position of a former prime minister could not escape.

In the huge Targaryen group, they are equivalent to the most invested and oldest major shareholders.

Now that Clay is here, he not only becomes the chairman directly, but also speaks for himself in the entire board of directors. More importantly, the Manderly family behind him has now become the most important family in Westeros except for the seven major families. One of the strongest families.

This is going to kill me.

Because, this means that there must be a big difference between what the Martell family wants and what Clay can give. In the future, the Martell family will definitely have the right to speak in the entire imperial meeting, but Never big.

Clay had to beat Oberon, and what he wanted him to understand was this. To put it bluntly, you stand on my team, and I will help you avenge, and then agree with you to bring money into the team, and give you a prominent position in the future.

This important issue of benefit distribution must be made clear at the beginning, otherwise you will say yours and I will say mine, and in the end everyone's understanding will be wrong, and when it comes to dividing the cake, there will be big problems.

Regarding Clay's rudeness, Oberon seemed very carefree. He glanced at Daenerys who was also staring at him, and immediately realized that the two were now completely tied together, standing in the same line.

Then I don't have any advantage. I'm here to talk about cooperation, not to tear down the stage. At this time, it doesn't make any sense to raise an argument.

So, the Prince of Dorne grinned:
"Okay, Clay Mandalay, forgive me for not being mentally prepared to kneel to you now, tsk tsk, Mandalay of the Dragon King family, it's really uncomfortable, don't you think?"

Oberyn Martell, after a brief surprise, returned to his original character. He didn't think that he would anger Clay by saying this. He was invited by him, and he was his guest.

Although this young dragon king is too bizarre, his eyes are not deceiving, and his existence is reasonable. With such a strong dragon king around, Dorne will have fewer casualties on the battlefield in the future.

When Oberon Martell stayed in Dorne, he didn't just make sand snakes with his mistress. For him, women were just spices in life, and only constant new things could bring him excitement.

Just like he once went to the Academy City for advanced studies, and also made several necklaces of different materials for himself, but later, he withdrew from the Academy City. The fundamental reason was that the Prince of Dorne could no longer feel exciting there. up.

But now, in the Seven Kingdoms War, only Dorne has not been involved in this bloody war for the time being, and all the families who participated are worried that they are trying to win them over.

All kinds of letters with rich promises flew like snowflakes into the flowing water garden where Prince Doran lived. Even the Lannister family, under the instigation of the shameless Cersei, wrote an explicit and incomprehensible letter for help .

Prince Doran accepted all goodwill or malice from all sides with a smile, but Dorne still stood still. He just moved a large number of troops to the border according to Prince Doran's order, directly threatening the southern castles in the Reach and Stormland.

This is a very interesting arrangement. Now, the elite of the whole country are in King's Landing, and each family is basically in a state of emptiness of troops. Dawn's move made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

If the Dornishmen only sent soldiers in one direction, they would stand in line with a clear banner. On the contrary, if they sent troops to both sides, it would make people think that the Dornishmen did not want the flames of war to ignite within their own territory.

Otherwise, it would be better to send troops on both sides and fight them all with one spoonful. In that case, Renly's army, who was stolen from his home, would surely return to help, and Dorne would have to bear the double anger of the Reach and the Stormlands. They couldn't bear it. of.

Oberyn Martell didn't understand the significance of his brother's deployment of troops, but he had been paying close attention to the war situation in the Seven Kingdoms. At that time, the surprise attack on the Lannister army on the West Road by the northern border made him remember The name Clay Mandalay lived.

He summoned his men to replay Clay's entire action process. After the replay, the nobles of Dorne looked at each other and felt a sense of dignity in their hearts. The reason was simple. Putting them in that position, They can't.

It was at that time that Oberon Martell found his new excitement. He hoped that one day, he could personally command an army to meet this Clay Manderly on the battlefield and have a good chat with him. The experience of leading an army.

But he never expected that his wish would come true in this alliance with Targaryen.

Although he still can't accept the fact that Clay is on the throne and he becomes his vassal, but he can't wait to let Clay and Daenerys return to Westeros immediately, Clay will raise troops from White Harbor and go south, he Command the Dorne army to the north.

One south and one north, they rushed directly into King's Landing, pulled those stinky golden lions out of the Red Castle, put them in front of his sister's grave, and let the little things he raised bite them to death!
"It's okay, you don't have to kneel to me, if kneeling can represent loyalty, then there won't be so many disputes in this world, Prince Oberon, I invite you to come, you should understand what I mean, now, you can let go and say Say what you think."

Clay stood up and took Daenerys down from the throne. The two walked in front of Oberon and his mistress. Clay said:
"Walk with me here. The good lord has made a nice garden here. There are many good places for chatting. It happens that men talk about men, and women talk about women."

Daenerys understood what Clay meant, so she stepped forward and grabbed Ellaria who had stood up, smiled at Clay, and then pulled her away.

Oberon watched the backs of the two women leave, whistled, raised his eyebrows, pointed to the wine glasses on the table, and said with a grin:
"This is good wine, is there any more in the garden?"

……

Clay took Oberon to the height of the pyramid. Don't think that the garden must be built on the ground. As long as the money is sufficient, the luxury of the slave owner's life is beyond anyone's imagination.

"Hey, this place is really exciting, it's a good place, Mandalay, did you make this?"

Oberon looked at the unobstructed view of Astapor outside the garden, then at the lush garden behind him, clicked his lips, and said with some exclamation:
"What do you think, Your Highness, if I have this money, I still need to borrow money from the Iron Bank?"

After finding a cool wicker chair and sitting down, Clay glanced at him and said with a faint smile.

"That's right. I also feel that this is not your style. How could a person who slaughtered more than 1 Lannister troops on the battlefield care about these things?"

"Don't say that, I still care. Who doesn't love beautiful scenery? It's just that it's not now."

Oberyn Martell sat down opposite Clay, took a sip of wine for himself, tasted what Pinkley said just now, nodded, and finally decided to draw the point, so he asked:

"I can tell you clearly that the Martell family doesn't care who sits on that thorny iron chair. Anyway, the Dornish people are used to our home, and they can't deal with you northerners."

The northerner here does not refer to Clay, a northerner, but everyone else except Dorne.

This is the same reason that northerners call all people south of the neck as southerners.

"Your Highness, this is wrong. If you don't care, why did you come here? Just stay in Sunspear City, wait for who wins the final battle, and send someone to King's Landing to swear allegiance."

Clay gave Oberon a strange look, and said in his heart that you are still here to play with me, and your desire for revenge is so strong that it is estimated that the entire Seven Kingdoms ranks first.

"Okay, since you understand, I'll tell you our conditions directly. I like your character, Mandalay."

Oberon smiled on his stubbled face, then stretched out four fingers:

"First, Lannister's atrocities must be punished. This is a necessary condition and cannot be negotiated."

"Secondly, the Dornish people can fight for you and your Daenerys, but after victory, the imperial council must have our place."

"Third, the descendants of you and Daenerys, no matter who they are, male or female, must marry into my Martell family."

"Fourth, the territory of Dorne, including some castles bordering the Stormlands and the Reach, must be placed under our rule."

Clay patiently listened to Oberon's words, and nodded four times in total. Then, finding that Oberon was silent, he asked:

"End?"

"It's over, this is my brother's condition, I'm just a sounding board."

Oberon shrugged. Now in Dorne, on major matters, Prince Doran's words still have the effect of finalizing the decision.

"Then what about your conditions? Oberon Martell, it's my master's fault to ask you to make this trip in vain."

Hearing what Clay said, Oberon gave him a surprised look, and said directly without being polite.

"Lannister! My brother's purpose is to make them leave King's Landing completely, and I want them to pay for my sister."

"The head of the magic mountain Gataiwin, is it enough?"

Clay laughed, but there was a reassuring seriousness in his voice.

"Very good! Hope you keep your word, Mandalay!"

Oberon slammed his fist on the table, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, let out a long breath, and then leaned back in the chair relaxedly.

"Now, let's talk about the conditions of Prince Doran just now."

Clay threw him a bottle of wine. This guy's drinking speed was at the same level as his own. It must be uncomfortable to drink from a small cup, anyway, that's how he was.

"Let's talk about the first one first. In addition to what I promised you just now, Lannister will be weakened to the greatest extent, but to what extent, you have to speak on the battlefield. If they are too weak, I don't mind changing the Western Region. Owner."

"And the second point, regarding the imperial meeting, I can't promise you the position of prime minister for the time being, because I want to use this position to fool other people. If my court is full of Martell, wouldn't it be bad?"

"That's right, so what?"

"So, the Minister of Finance, you think no one can do it. The Minister of Justice can give it to you. As for the Minister of the Sea and the Chief of Intelligence, you can fight for it yourself."

"Okay, you continue."

"Third article, I agree with this in principle, but I have to tell Daenerys, after all, I can't do this alone, as long as she agrees, it's perfectly fine to give you a child, but you must guarantee the child's status."

"Of course, let me tell you something, we don't think about the dragon's affairs, and the Dragon King's affairs are handled by the Dragon King."

"Very well, let's talk about the last one. I don't have a map of Westeros right now, but it doesn't matter. I mean, of course your territory can be expanded, but from my personal point of view, your expansion should have a limit."

"Our generation is comrades-in-arms who cooperated to return to the Iron Throne. It is unlikely that soldiers will meet each other, but this is not the case with your descendants. One grew up in King's Landing and the other was born in Sunspear City. Who knows who?"

"If my child feels that your power is too large and is a threat to his throne, then I don't want to repeat what happened to the Dragon King."

"Besides, everyone knows the terrain of Dorne. You have expanded too much to the north, and you are really going to fight... Are you sure you can hold it?"

Clay is not talking nonsense. In fact, in his opinion, it is completely reasonable for people to want to get more after winning the game. But the problem is that taking too much land here is a big problem.

The border between Dorne and the Stormland Reach is full of mountains, and the transportation is extremely underdeveloped. They just expanded a little in the north. When the war comes, what will they do with these castles?
Donne's base is in the south of the mountain, and the battlefield is in the north of the mountain. Just a logistical problem can drag Donne, who is not rich in production, to death.

If you just put it badly and rely on the Dorne Mountains to stick to it, then the question will go back, why did you want these castles in the first place?

A few castles can't change the actual strength comparison between the two sides, and they will plant a big trouble in the future. Only a greedy fool will do such a thing.

After pondering for a long time, Oberon raised his head, grinning, showing his white teeth:
"Makes sense."
