308 Way Out and Sending Troops

After more than ten years, when he met Baron Greyjoy, the king of the Iron Islands who once caused a rebellion, Lanli discovered that the other party was obviously much older.

Wearing a quaint black seal leather jacket, her hair is gray and her rough cheeks are covered with wrinkles, and she looks like she is overworking all day long.

"I apologize for my ignorance, the great Son of God, please forgive me."

He also knelt on the ground, his head hanging deep in front of Renli.

Baron didn't say the specific reason, and seemed to think that Lan Li could know without explanation. Lan Li did guess some, but he didn't understand the specific situation.

But now he has not exposed his thoughts.

"Everyone is ignorant and small in front of God." Lanli replied pretending, "So I won't care about your ignorance and offense. Get up, let's talk about the serious matter."

While sitting in the other party's territory and sitting in the other party's home, he was like a master meeting a slave, which made Lan Li feel a little awkward.

Unlike ten years ago, this Baron was too respectful at this time.

However, there have been many awkward things during this period. He has actually adapted to it. The person in front of him has not shown any abnormality, but has stood up instead.

"When do you want us to send troops?" Baron asked straight to the subject.

"Nature is faster, the better."

When Baron heard this, he pursed his lips and said nothing against him. Instead, he mentioned another thing, "My mortals cannot guess the wisdom of the gods, but I wish I could do it. Son of God, where is the way out for the Iron Islands?"

"I have told you the way out." Lanli replied.

The other party smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Is that really a way out? Our ancient road--"

"The ancient road is just a way to die." Lan Li interrupted him, "The day the chaos will end. Westeros has been unified, and the ancient road's survival soil will become less and less, and eventually completely dissipated."

Baron did not speak, but was silent.

"The Iron Islands have very strong maritime strength, and there are many points you can use."

Lanli patiently said: "For example, there is a lot of wood in the north, but there is a lack of food in winter. The Iron Islands are not far from the North. You can exchange fish for wood, or use reselling to obtain the resources you want in the North. For example, buying food in the old town and selling it to the north can completely double the price. If you can make up your mind to do long-distance voyage trade, then the money you can get is ten or a hundred times. But if you don't seize this opportunity now, when Westeros' maritime power exceeds the Iron Islands, this opportunity will be gone."

Baron sighed when he heard this.

The man in front of him once said similar words ten years ago. At that time, he felt that it made sense, but when it was implemented, it did not have much effect.

Nothing else, the Iron Islands have a very poor "popularity".

Whether it is the northern border, the Hejian land, the western border and the river berth, the territory that is across the sea from the Iron Islands belongs to the Iron Islands' feud. The hatred is accumulated over thousands of years and cannot be resolved in a short period of time.

Tiemin's reputation has become bad. No matter how they say or do it, the first reaction of the people in Westeros when they see Tiemin is robbers, not like them.

I even disbelief of Tiemin's words in doing business.

Baron's father's goal was to integrate into the "big family" of Westeros, and to do so, he hired bachelors and actively responded to the Iron Throne, but the results were not much.

This is also the reason why Baron is thinking about restoring the ancient road all day long, because the Iron Islands have long been excluded by Westeros, and both sides are incompatible.

So when he found that there was no results, he simply stopped doing such useless work, but instead began to accumulate strength and prepared to take the opportunity to act in the next turmoil in Westeros.

However, the appearance of the person in front of him completely disrupted his thoughts. Baron was helpless about this, but he could not have the intention of resisting at all.

Lan Li could feel the other party's complicated mood, but he was very dissatisfied with it.

The man in front of him was actually very smart, but Lan Li found that he had been affected too much by the ancient Taoist seed. He had no other ideas than the ancient Taoist in his mind. He also lacked patience. He wanted to make quick money by robbing, but did not want to do "infrastructure" steadily.

This made Lan Li wonder if she was talking nonsense when she said so much now.

But this doesn't matter. At least, he has completed the mission of coming to the Iron Islands on this trip. The other party is reluctant, but he has no intention of resisting anymore.

"The current conflict between the war is Hejian, and there is Sancha River in the Hejian. If the Iron Islands participate in the war, it is the best choice to use Sancha River to roam the Hejian River." Lanli changed the topic.

"The Lord of Hejian Land will not let us get close." Baron shook his head.

"I will negotiate with them." Lanli replied, "Whether to make the Iron Islands an ally or to wait for the territory to be swallowed by outsiders, I think they will make an informed choice."

Three hundred years ago, the iron people ruled the Hejian land, and their rule relied on the Sancha River in the Hejian land. The Sancha River spread across the entire Hejian. At that time, the iron people's long ships came and went freely, and the knight army on the shore could not do anything to them.

There are two main battlefields now, one is Hejian, and the other is the sea area east of the Westeros. The iron people are in the Westeros Sea. After joining the war, they cannot spend time and effort to bypass the entire continent to fight naval battles, so entering the hinterland and wandering in Hejian is their best choice.

This way of playing will make many people feel scruples. After all, the iron-minded people used to rely on Sancha River to control the entire Hejian. If they dominate the battle after they are restored, it will cause trouble for many people.

However, Lan Li had no worries about this. He didn't care about what happened in the future. The most important thing at the moment was to win this battle. Moreover, even if the Iron Islands are "large-small" after the war, it was just a problem with Hejiandi.

The Tuli family has weak control over Hejian, so why not replace it with the Iron Islands that support him more?

Of course, there are many problems in this, such as the marriage relationship between the Tuli family and the valley and the northern border, such as Tiemin's popularity, etc. If you think deeply, it is impossible for the entire Westeros to allow the Tiemin to occupy the Hejian again.

But obviously Baron was very interested in Renli's proposal. He had thought that this fleet wanted to let the Iron Islands fleet travel long distance to fight a naval battle, but he never thought that Renli would "induce the wolf into the house", which was really a sense of surprise.

However, the matter has only been verbal so far. What will happen is something that no one can say, but Lan Li believes that people in Hejian will choose to accept assistance from the Iron Islands because they have been crippled there.

After chatting for a long time, Baron bowed and left.

After a while, Renlifu talked with the lords of the Iron Islands several times and finally finalized the plan to go to war.
