Chapter 1002 Harry Strickland

Helos returned to the Riverlands, visiting Edmure Tully, Governor of the Riverlands, and Petyr Baelish, Governor of the Valley.

He then visited the commander of the Imperial Legion stationed at the Green Fork.

Immediately, the atmosphere in the two places suddenly became tense. Although the soldiers of the Imperial Legion had not yet moved, the food, grass and armament materials from various places had already begun to be loaded and transported, and they continued to gather.

And this imperial standing army stationed on the Green Fork River is actually the former Golden Corps.

After Viserys conquered the Seven Kingdoms, he fulfilled his promise, restored their former surnames, and rewarded them for meritorious deeds. Some regained their homeland, while others were sealed elsewhere.

In short, abandoning the dark to the bright and choosing to follow Viserys was the most correct decision in their lives for them.

The former Golden Corps was also banned from its original name when it was integrated into the imperial system, and changed its designation to the Imperial Third Corps. However, the Third Corps still maintains some old rules, such as the golden skulls still hanging on their flags. and many more.

The commander-in-chief of the Third Legion was the former Governor of the West, Meath Toyn, and after Meath Toyn became the former Prime Minister, the commander of the Legion fell to his deputy Harry Strickland.

Compared with the previous commander of the Third Legion, Mies Toyne, the current commander, Harry Strickland, is not like a warrior, but a wealthy businessman.

He is a little fat, with a big round head, light gray eyes, and his sparse hair has almost fallen out, leaving only a bald head.

As a broken ship that has traveled through the old times, Harry Strickland has witnessed the end of the Targaryen Dynasty, the Usurper War, the two White Walkers War, and the rise of Viserys in the cracks. The Seven Kingdoms were recaptured and the Valyrian Empire was established.

Therefore, Harry Strickland is already very old, and living to this day is considered a long life in the eyes of the Empire.

Because he was not good at fighting in his early years, but was proficient in paperwork and arithmetic, coupled with his cleverness, he became the financial officer of the Golden Group.

Harry Strickland never left blood for his brothers, never killed anyone with his own hands, and personally charged into battle. , became the last person to live.

"Arbitrary deployment of troops is a crime of losing your head."

"No wonder Your Highness, the old man is already old, and he has nothing to pursue in this life."

"Money, I used to be in charge of the gold group's money bag, and I helped the iron treasury get a few overdue loans. The millions of gold coins were recovered, and the iron treasury would take out 50% of it as a reward."

"The eyes of those who saw the golden gold were drenched, and after that, they didn't think about money anymore."

Stationed on the banks of the Green Fork all the year round, and in front of it is the neck of natural danger. The Third Legion of the Empire is stationed on the battlefield where humans once resisted the White Walkers. There are countless ancestors who have thrown their heads and shed their blood.

However, the shadow of the past is no longer visible here. Instead, it has been repaired very well. It has long since become a semi-fixed military camp with many stone castles.

The resident of the Third Corps serves as the study of the commander-in-chief.

There were only a few sparse hairs on a bald head, but all of them had turned pale. The skin on the person's cheeks had already loosened, the forehead was full of wrinkles, and there were many age spots on his face. Even the voice trembled a little, but those eyes were still bright.

The old man who was talking was Harry Strickland, the commander-in-chief of the Third Army of the Empire, and he was leaning on a walking stick in his hand, staring at the man sitting in his seat, the brown-haired man. A young man with a face very much like His Majesty the Emperor.

Then he saw that the other party didn't speak, just quietly flipping through the booklet in his hand, Harry Strickland's fingers rubbed the crutches slightly, and then added in a hoarse voice.

"Your Highness, the old man has a granddaughter named Jenny."

The young man sitting in front of the candle, half of his cheeks immersed in darkness finally raised his head slightly at this moment.

He looked at Harry Strickland, the old man who had followed his father in the conquest of Westeros, but was now in his old age.

Helos looked at the other and didn't speak, and Harry Strickland supported the crutches in both hands, feeling that cold sweat had oozing out of his palms, and his heart could not help shaking, suspecting that what he saw in front of him was not the man's son, but the The other man himself.

"I took this booklet and a few letters with me."

However, Helos stared at each other for a while, and then suddenly said.

He raised his hand and raised the booklet he had been reading just now. There were also several letters in it. He didn't know where Helos found it.

But it was obvious that Helos had been here for an inexplicable amount of time long before Harry Strickland, Commander-in-Chief of the Third Legion, learned of the arrival of His Royal Highness the First Prince.

There must have been a close friend of His Royal Highness installed by his side!

Harry Strickland's heart was filled with endless regret, but at the same time there was nothing he could do.

Because there are too many suspects, although the military and government have been separated in the Hejian, the DNA of the former Golden Corps has long been diluted and clean, and the army is filled with a large number of nobles and knights of the Hejian.

Today Harry Strickland is still the commander of the Legion, but if he too dies, all the old brothers are gone, and the name of the Golden Company may be completely lost.

And now, although Harry is still the commander in chief, it seems that there is still a shadow of the Golden Corps, but in fact he has long been unable to do it.

The first reason is naturally that he is old and powerless, and the second reason is that the nobles under his hands form gangs, even if he is unable to rectify them.

The reason why the high level of the Empire in King's Landing has not taken down Harry Strickland is precisely because he had followed His Majesty the Emperor to attack the Seven Kingdoms and gave him a decent way to leave.

After Viserys established the Valyrian Empire, except for those who made mistakes later, such as Illyrio Mopatis, there was almost no such thing as sly rabbits and running dogs.

Even the wrathful lackey like Rams was not abandoned, and he has always been recognized and supported by the royal family. Instead, in the end, Rams was accidentally replaced by Marquilla because of his own mistakes.
