Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord.

Chapter 146 The Envoys from the Three Cities

Volantis, the overlord of southwestern Essos, is far more powerful than Tyrosh and Myr, and controls significantly more towns and villages than them.

Even it was not as easy as before for Gavin's fleet to clear the coast, and the town's garrison was stronger, but with Hassan's actions, countless spoils were still continuously transported to Rees.

At this time, the Port of Lys had become a huge transit station. The warehouses in the port and its vicinity were already filled to the brim. Countless ships shuttled back and forth between the Stone Islands and Lys, transporting large amounts 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 by, the two women got used to each other's presence, making it less awkward for Gavin to get along with them.

Two months later, a sailing warship from Gavin's fleet slowly sailed over, bringing envoys from the Three Cities. At this time, the Three Cities had already fallen into decline and were unable to even send a warship to escort the envoys.

The situation in Tyrosh was the most serious, and the city was in deep trouble due to food shortage. The white flag symbolizing surrender was hung high on the city wall for more than ten days. Only then was the envoy able to board Gavin's warship in a small boat.

Escorted by soldiers, the three messengers entered the hall trembling with fear and trepidation.

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

Gavin had a calm expression, looking at the three people below with cold eyes, and then said with a bit of sarcasm: "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 sweats.

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

After hearing this, Gavin looked at the Tyroshi envoy sharply and teased, "Messenger, I wonder who has deceived the King?" After hearing this, the envoy was stunned and panicked for an instant: "Lord Dragon King, this...that..." In a hurry, the envoy's face turned red, and he stammered for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Seeing the other party in such an embarrassed state, Gavin said coldly: "As far as I know, it was Lord Theron who wrote a letter to invite Malachor Megya himself." Then he looked at the Myr envoy and said: "And Myr was proactive in providing a place for the three cities to meet." After hearing this, the Myr envoy's body trembled involuntarily. He lowered his head, remained silent, and dared not speak.

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

The Volantis envoy immediately bowed and said with great respect: "Lord Dragon King, this is all Malachor's personal reckless behavior. Now the Volantis Noble Council has voted to remove him from his position as archon. I come to you to apologize with the sincerity of peace." 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 been defeated." After that, he waved his hand lightly, and the Blood Dragon Guards on the side handed three parchments covered with dense words to the three of them.

As soon as Gavin returned to Lis Island, he had thought about his demands in advance. First, he wanted the other party to hand over all the dragon egg fossils and dragon bones. After all, these things were crucial to his strength improvement. Secondly, it was a very generous compensation. Although Gavin had seized enough food and population, it was still far from the money he had seized. Most of the wealth of the trading city-states was concentrated in the cities. Taking this opportunity, he could make the other party bleed a lot. Finally, it was strictly forbidden for the other party to establish a navy again. All route patrols would be taken over by Gavin's fleet, and the three cities would have to 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 calmly: "This is my request. As long as you can satisfy 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 Council discuss it."

After listening to this, Gavin nodded slightly, then 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 would 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 from Volantis and Myr opened their eyes wide in surprise and looked at each other in 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 Tyrosh envoy: "In that case, then sign it. After Tyrosh sends everything to Lys, I will lift the blockade on the sea."

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

Gavin ignored his words of gratitude and glanced coldly at the other two messengers who were still hesitating. They looked pale and had their lips tightly closed, as if they were still thinking about a countermeasure.

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

The guards bowed and accepted the order, while the three messengers, led by the soldiers, left the hall with trepidation.
