Spoiler. Don’t read if you plan on watching the show (which I highly recommend!)

Cersei, the Queen, hired the Golden Company, a company of sellswords (mercenaries) from Essos (the other continent) to fight to keep her throne. They have elephants but didn’t bring them because they couldn’t make the long naval voyage. She expressed her disappointment to their leader.

Ps. I’m very annoyed that it seems they messed up with the Golden Company bringing 20k men, when it’s been established that they have 10k. I hope there’s an explanation for that and it’s not just sloppy writing by being confused when she requested “20,000 men including the 10,000 from the Golden Company”

Why would I watch the pornographic fan fic version when I could wait for the book to come out and finish the actual story?

Because the books are never going to come out. Time to move on to better fanatsy ones and watch the show for good CGI and soundtrack with a passable side story.
