There is a visible wince on the face of the Myrman, "That is not nearly as easy a request as you would think. And to my thinking it is quite a difficult thing to expect us to accomplish. I am not sure we can acheive that."

"Our army is small, and our Navy is barely adequate for protecting our interests." He replied.

"That would be the only way we could help. Yet if we begger ourselves then we not be a city worth anything. We can help.... but do not expect an army we hire being capable of the kind of damage you wish us to induce." He frowned apologetically.

"There be a way ye can increase the number o sellswords yer can buy." Gamlin gave a small smirk. "Offer dem pillaging. Every company alive does a little bit. But if ya offer dem da chance to sack King's Landing and Lannisport of everything they got, people will be crawling over demselves ta get to ya."

"If it were that simple.... what would you need us for?" the Myrmen asked.

"Trade." Gamlin said simply. "After Westeros be crushed we would need a steady tradin partner ter bring da economy up. And we'd need the standard money ter pays for shipping of the soldiers. Which I believe you have."

"Let us say that we worry about a destroyed King's Landing being able to live up to your promises." Replied Curzen.

Gamlin looked a little confused. "Why? King's Landing makes no crops worth sayin bout. It don't have any gold er silver mines. All it is be a port. Which Westeros got plenty of."

The Myrmen looked at Gamlin, "Do you plan for us to pay the mercenaries with cabbages or oxen? King's Landing holds most of the realms coins. And with the coins being seized by the mercenaries already; we will have nothing to pay with."

"Da coins bein seized is how ya pay dem." Gamlin looked at the man in front of him to see if he understood. Ok this could be more difficult then expected. "Ya offer da mercenaries da chance ta take anything they can burn, steal, and rape. Any sellsword leader should realize that it gives dem a chance to make more money than a solid pay ever could. You pay dem a base fee at a bit smaller price that is in yer price range. Hell ye can pay off Dothraki Raiders whenever they come ye can pay for some sellswords shipping and a few pennies a head."

"I am worried you do not comprehend the magnitude of the task you have elected for us to acheive. Mercenaries do not come cheap even when promised a stake of the rewards, and by giving them all the riches their will be no immediate recompence for me and mine." Curzen countered.

"Yes. There be no immediate recompensation. Except fer the stores o money Walder has been storin up. It's grown ta be large sum. Not quite as large to get the armies unfortunately. But large and once the free trade begins ye will have the entirety of Westeros to pay yerselves back."

"Allow an agent access to verify the exsistance of said wealth and our arangement can moved forward at a catious pace." Curzen replied.
