5 DAYS LATER:
Arslan was in his office attending to the matters of the Vale.
Lord Jon Egen: "May I enter my Lord"
he heard the sound of Lord Jon Egen from behind the door.
Arslan: "Come in"
and he does.
Arslan: "What is it?"
Lord Jon Egen: "My Lord, I was ordered to report to you when the recruitment is done."
Arslan: "Yes?"
Lord Jon Egen: "It's done, we have 70000 men as estimated, And the mountain clans Also sent their men, 30500 strong men."
Arslan: "Okay, So we have the 30000 men of 'the order of the Falcon', And 70000 newly recruited, And 30500 of the mountain clans, That is about 130500 men, right?"
Lord Jon Egen nodded.
Arslan: "35000 of them will join 'The Falcon Reapers' who will then become 40000 men, Half of them will go to Essos, 10000 will join 'The Falcon Knights' that will become 20000, 15000 men will join 'The Coming Dawn- Falcons' that will reach 30000, And again half of them will join our camp in Essos, 4500 will join 'The Wings of the Falcon' for them to become 5000, And half of that number will go to Essos, For the last 36000, I want them to become the new division, It will be called 'Claws Of The Falcon' these guys will be the main army."
Lord Jon Egen: "Yes, My Lord."
Arslan: "Alright, I want to meet these men, I will meet them 20000 at a time."
Lord Jon Egen: "Yes, My Lord."
Arslan: "What happened with the Khalasar that attacked our camp in Essos?"
Lord Jon Egen: "Our men attacked and exterminated them, They didn't touch the women and children"
Arslan: " How are things going there?"
Lord Jon Egen: "...I'm sorry to say that 'Volon Therys' and 'Sar Mell' and 'Valysar' and 'Sellhorys' and 'The sorrows' were all attacked by 'Basilisks' at the same time, all of them were saved by our men except 'Sellhorys' as it didn't ask for help in time and our men had no one to spare to stay on stand by for when they ask for it as usual, the town was utterly destroyed as there were no survivors."
Arslan: "I see, I hope we don't face such situations in the future, Is there anything else?"
Lord Jon Egen: "No, My Lord"
Arslan: "You are dismissed."
After Arslan met the men and did the usual, He decided that their training is gonna be real, They will join their respective divisions in their duties and will be trained by them, As for 'The Claws Of The Falcon', They will be trained by one of the Protectors.
As Arslan was returning to his office he met with 'Lord Jon Egen' again.
Lord Jon Egen: "My Lord"
Arslan: "What is it?"
Lord Jon Egen: "It's about the sculptor you requested, My Lord"
Arslan: "What about him?"
Lord Jon Egen: "After we didn't find a sculptor here, We sent for one of the companies from Braavos, They came yesterday and are waiting to meet you"
Arslan: "Send them to the meeting room"
Arslan said as he changed his destination.
Arslan was waiting for his guests in the meeting room.
Lord Jon Egen: "May I? My Lord"
Arslan: "Come in"
Lord Jon Egen entered followed by 3 men.
Lord Jon Egen: "These are the sculptors I told you about, My lord"
Arslan: "Sit down"
And the sculptors did.
Arslan nodded at Lord Jon Egen and the latter left.
Arslan turned to the sculptors.
First Sculptor: "What do you want us to make for you, Lord Arslan?"
He asked with a respectful tone.
Arslan: "I want you to sculpt human soldier like statues "
2nd Sculptor: "How many?"
Arslan: "As many as you could manage, How many can your company create a day?"
3rd Sculptor: "We don't know exactly but it will require a lot of money"
Arslan: "Money is not a problem"
2nd Sculptor: "How much will you pay us?"
Arslan: "1 Gold dragon for every 4 statues."
They nodded in satisfaction, It's a fair amount.
After they left, Lord Jon Egen came in.
Lord Jon Egen: "Did everything go as you wanted it, My Lord?"
Arslan: "Yes, send for Lady Anya Waynwood, I will meet her here"
Lord Jon Egen nods and leaves.
After some time Lady Anya finally came.
Lady Anya: "You called for me, My Lord?"
Arslan: "Yes, Tell me how is the bank going?"
he said gesturing for her to sit.
Lady Anya: "It's going very well, My Lord, It seems the Lords of Westeros do it more willingly with someone from their land."
Arslan: "Elaborate..."
Lady Anya: "Well, Dorne took a debt of 300 thousand gold dragons to pay what they owe the iron bank, The Tyrells did the same, The Greyjoys also took a debt to fix what they suffered under the drowners, Same with the Boltons..."
Arslan: "That's good, If the Lannisters or The crown ask for money, Don't give them, Understood?"
Lady Anya: "Yes, My Lord"
Arslan: "You are excused."

{TYWIN LANNISTER POV: }
That Arryn boy became too powerful too quick, And I have no information about him due to the disappearance of all my spies, That boy is smart, He got rid of all my spies in one night, He made the Vale the 3rd richest house and made an army that is now protecting all of Westeros before he went to Valyria and made the Vale number 1 in strength and money, He tamed monsters That I failed to touch, I even heard he is learning magic, But there is no way for me to confirm it, Soon the game would change, This kid is a dangerous player that I have to take for the benefit of house Lannister, Or find a way to kill him, I heard that he is engaged to the daughter of Dorne, I have to find a way to stop the marriage and have Myrcella marry him, Otherwise I will need to hire the Faceless men.
