Game of Thrones: Dragons have three heads, not three-headed dragons.

After the blueprints were completed, Oris immediately used pine wood and iron to make a composite bow. Although the hand-made composite bow was too heavy compared to the existing recurve bows, its range was still considerable.

Oris immediately sent the blueprints to the workshop in batches to begin small-scale production, in order to equip his personal guards.

While Oris was manufacturing the composite bow, Poch led a thousand soldiers, divided into four teams of 250 men each, to patrol the main roads surrounding the manor in shifts. During this time, they clashed with wandering mercenaries three times. Poch remembered Oris's instructions and advanced slowly in formation against the enemy. Although more than thirty new recruits were killed or wounded, more than five hundred bandits were eliminated. Oris was quite excited when he received the battle report. Such a kill ratio was enough to prove the feasibility of his military theory.

As Poch expanded the area of ​​the mopping-up operation with his new recruits, Oris also began to formulate his own plans.

During the reign of King Ninepenny, Marius Blackfyre conquered Tyrosh with 10,000 Golden Company warriors, and then launched a counterattack on Westeros. Although he was eventually killed by Barristan, he proved the possibility of conquering Westeros based on the Kingdom of the Three Daughters.

Oris's plan was to send troops to clear the land around the manor, then build an armed fortress in the disputed area, recruit a large number of runaway slaves and grant them the status of free men, gradually undermining the slave owners' rule. He would then rely on the fortress to resist the Kingdom of the Three Daughters, while using existing resources to arm suitable slaves, thereby selecting 20,000 to 30,000 fully armored warriors to launch a surprise attack on the Kingdom of the Three Daughters when necessary, thus achieving victory in the war.

Those who venture into the disputed territory in this plan will face enormous dangers, and what Oris lacks most right now is qualified subordinates. Although his subordinates Pochi and Gra have experience in leading troops to suppress bandits, they are still no match for the regular army of the Three Daughters Kingdom.

Just as Oris was racking his brains over who would infiltrate the controversial territory, another matter came his way.

Inside the manor, Oris frowned as he watched the carriage heading towards the manor. A few days ago, while Oris was deep in thought in his study, a servant delivered a letter from Illyrio. Apart from some polite words, the letter conveyed the governor of Pentos's concerns about the excessive military strength of Oris Manor. After all, the matter of Darren's conscription could not be kept secret. The most crucial information in the letter was that Illyrio would be visiting Oris Manor as the representative of the Prince of Pentos.

Pentos is located next to Braavos and has been defeated in several conflicts with Braavos. The treaty signed with Braavos has limited Pentos' military strength. The news that so many troops have suddenly amassed in the manor south of Pentos naturally reached the desk of the Sea King of Braavos.

Prince Pentos and the governors, fearing Braavos's power, naturally sent people to investigate. Illyrio, who had dealings with Oris, seemed the most suitable candidate.

As Illyrio's carriage arrived at the manor gate, a large head popped out of the carriage—it was Illyrio himself. A silver-haired boy and a silver-haired girl followed him down. Oris was slightly taken aback when he saw Viserys and Daenerys; he hadn't expected Illyrio to bring them along. Robert was hunting these two Targaryen remnants all over the world; he wondered what Illyrio's intentions were in bringing them to this military fortress.

Oris's thought was only momentary; he immediately bowed respectfully to Viserys. After all, regardless of his current military strength, there was no need to anger this simpleton, Viserys. "Greetings, Your Majesty Viserys and Her Highness Daenerys."

After performing all the proper courtesies, Oris looked at Illyrio but no longer intended to bow. After all, Illyrio's background wasn't particularly high, and Oris wasn't intimidated by his strength at all.

Illyrio showed no anger at Oris's rudeness. Instead, he stepped forward and began to chat with Oris, saying, "Your Excellency Oris, I heard about the wealth of your Oris Manor in Pentos. How about you show our Majesty around?"

Oris knew Illyrio wanted to speak with him privately, so he immediately summoned Daelen and said to Viserys, "Your Majesty, this is my brother Daelen. Please, Daelen, tour the manor for the time being." Perhaps because Viserys hadn't been treated with such respect in a long time, he adopted a haughty demeanor, simply nodding silently at Oris. Then Oris turned and whispered in Daelen's ear, "Be more courteous." As soon as he finished speaking, Oris looked at Daelen and found that Daelen ignored his whisper, his gaze fixed intently on Daenerys.

After noticing this, Oris remained silent, patted Daren on the shoulder, and repeated his words to reaffirm his earlier statement. This time, Daren quietly agreed and led Viserys and Daenerys on a tour of the manor's interior.

Oris and Illyrio headed towards the main castle, going straight to the study. Upon arriving, Oris didn't stand on ceremony, plopping down in a chair and saying directly to Illyrio, "I didn't know the Governor was here. Please speak quickly about your needs." Illyrio, unperturbed, simply found a stool and sat down, facing Oris, saying, "Lord Oris has recently undertaken a large-scale military expansion, causing the Prince considerable distress, so he specifically sent me to inquire about it."

Upon hearing this, Oris smiled helplessly and immediately said, "When have you governors ever cared about Prince Pentos's opinion? I'm asking why you're here." At this, Illyrio was about to speak.

Darren immediately interrupted, "If it's just those high-sounding excuses again, then there's no need to say them. You and I both know Pentos's situation. Pentos no longer has the strength to wage war against other countries. Besides, if they really wanted to discuss conscription, why bring that brother and sister along?"

Illyrio, unperturbed by Oris's words, simply stared intently into Oris's eyes and said, "I believe Your Excellency Oris understands my meaning. His Majesty Viserys ascended the throne on Dragonstone in his youth, witnessed by Queen Leila, giving him natural legitimacy to the Iron Throne. If you help His Majesty Viserys land in Westeros, the lords of Westeros will surely respond. Once His Majesty Viserys reclaims the Iron Throne, you will naturally reap the benefits you desire."

Oris remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was cursing. This fatso really didn't treat him like a human being. Robert had been the usurper for over a decade, and the situation in Westeros was basically stable. He planned to use his two thousand soldiers as cannon fodder to distract Robert. This fatso certainly had a good plan.
