Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

The dancers in the center of the hall shimmered under the light of the torches, and if you looked closely, you could see that their bodies were all smeared with some kind of bright oil.

Jugglers tossed burning torches to the rhythm of drums and flutes. Every time two torches were thrown through the air, an L-shaped girl would spin and jump through the middle.

Many senior officers who attended the banquet with Ian and the two senior sergeants of the mercenary group who defected to Ian's side instantly had their eyes lit up. If it were not for such an occasion, they would probably directly Pounce forward.

That's right, the grand banquet originally prepared to welcome Ian in the pyramid of Yazan, the Great Sage of Yunkai, still welcomed its destined guest after being postponed for two days, well... probably still a guest.

In the entire hall, the Yunkai dignitaries attending the banquet were in two completely different states. The wise masters of the Yazan faction exchanged cups one by one, laughing and singing.

Among them, the happiest ones were Grazdan Mo Eraz and Butt-Shaking General Grazdo Zo Alc. The two of them didn't interact much on weekdays, and the only interactions they had were due to confrontations between factions. However, at this moment, the two of them were drinking together and their faces were red.

The sages belonging to the Grand Marshal's faction were not so happy. These people were on pins and needles and couldn't even squeeze out a fake smile.

Before going to the banquet, they learned that General Fazaha (Rabbit), the second-in-command of their faction, had been arrested by the Great Sage Yazan and handed over to the new conqueror who entered the city. The Grand Marshal himself No news at all.

They didn't know what the Grand Marshal and General Rabbit were planning. They just heard that the Astapor army outside the city was attacked by Yunkai, so the other party angrily attacked Yunkai.

And this process was also very fast. The guards of the Alk family opened the west gate of Yunkai to Ian, and then Ian's elite cavalry swarmed in and went straight to the pyramid where the meeting of the wise masters was taking place.

At this time, the vast majority of Yunkai's troops were still deployed on the southeastern wall, and the wise masters announced their surrender with almost no meaningful resistance.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ian's action was completely prepared, but the actual situation is no longer important. The only thing they care about at the moment is whether Ian's liquidation will fall on them. .

The banquet was still going on, and Ian's men and the wise masters of the Yazan faction entered the carnival one after another, but no one came to announce their fate. This made the military nobles of the generalissimo faction extremely tormented.

"My respected lord" Mero, the illegitimate son of the Titans, came to Ian and raised his wine glass to him, "I didn't know about your previous promise."

"I have asked people to prepare double the gold. You can get it after the banquet. Of course, if you can't wait, you can go out and receive your reward now." Ian made a gesture of invitation.

"It's a commission, not a reward, sir," Mero corrected, "We work for you, and this is the money we should get."

"Except from me, you can't get so much money from anywhere in the world, so for you, this is a reward, a reward from me." Ian shook his head slightly.

Mero didn't refute, and he couldn't refute, even though Ian's price was only double that of Yunkai and Volantis Chamber of Commerce. But the Yunkishites paid this commission to fight Ian's elite legions, and even fight the Horselord's roaring warriors.

Ian only paid them to kill the Volantis and help him control the port and seize the merchant ships. These two tasks are completely different in terms of time and risk.

"Fight for me, and the rewards will only be greater in the future." Ian continued.

"No, this is different from what we agreed." Mero shook his head subconsciously. He knew that Ian's next goal must be to beat the horse king. "We made an agreement to only work on Yunkai for this matter. You serve.”

"Of course, the next fight is at another price."

"How much do you plan to pay?" No matter how much it is, he has no intention of confronting Ma Wang head-on. The contract he agreed to with Yunkai before was purely to defraud money. When the war comes, he will definitely run away. Anyway, the Second Son Regiment is a cavalry, so he can run whenever he wants.

But when it came to Ian, Mero was a little hesitant. It wasn't because his conscience found out that someone as generous as Ian shouldn't be deceived, but because of Ian's confident eyes and his ability to capture Yunkai in two days. Scared, he was worried that the money he deceived from Ian might be spent without his life.

"Hahahaha," Ian laughed, "Don't be so unideal, my friend, from Westeros to Slaver's Bay, there are all kinds of people around me, including nobles, knights, and sailors. , there are many mercenaries like you. They followed me at first because of my gold, but after following me for a while, they will never talk about money again. Do you know why?"

"Why?" Mero was a little confused. What would a mercenary talk about if he didn't talk about money?

"Because they will soon discover that money is the easiest thing in the world. Only people who are short of money will often talk about money. When they are not short at all, they will still see gold like you do now. Can’t you move?”

Mero swallowed his saliva, and the leader of the Stormcrows, Pulanda Na Gison, who happened to come to Ian's side, also heard what Ian said, so his ears perked up.

"Let me tell you the truth, I have never touched money. I am not interested in money. The only thing I am interested in is regaining the Iron Throne, leaving a name in history, and letting my name be passed down forever with the highest status." Yi End paused, "And the same goes for those who follow me. Maybe you can find out how many of my mercenaries became knights, how many of them became earls, how much wealth, how much land and how much they got. honor."

"The second son group is almost composed of the second sons who have no right to inherit the title. Haven't you ever thought that one day, you will be able to get a castle that is much older than your father and brother, and repay all the cold looks you have received at home? go back?"

This is actually one of the reasons why Ian must win over the Second Sons. Most of these people are the second sons of Westeros nobles. With the support of these 'traitors', he can march into Westeros in the future. This may reduce some rejection and resistance.

"And you, Mr. Puranda," Ian looked at the leader of the Stormcrows, Prenda Na Gison, "haven't you ever thought about changing the Gison family's middle surname from Na, which represents a commoner background, to Mo? Or even Zo?"

The support of the Stormcrows is also very important, because this mercenary group has been operating in the Lazar area for a long time, and its members also include many Lazarins. As Ian's primary target of conquest after defeating the Horse King, Ian also needs An elite puppet army.

"The class of the Gith comes from blood." The leader of the Stormcrows was a little tempted, but still retorted.

"Don't rush to give me an answer. Wait patiently and see what happens next." Ian pointed at the eyes of the leader of the Stormcrows.

"Don't worry, I won't use your two mercenary groups in a head-on confrontation with the Horse King," Ian said, turning to Mero again, "I will give you tasks with lower risks and higher returns. "

"May your rule last long!" After hearing this, Mero suddenly raised his glass and shouted to Ian.

This is a rather presumptuous toast. Normally, this sentence can only be addressed to the king.

Ian glanced at the drunk Mero. If he hadn't been sure that he was really drunk and had been staying by his side since just now, he would have almost thought that this guy was being used by someone to test him. .

Test whether Ian Darry's current title is Earl and Hand of the Queen, or 'King of Astapor and Yunkai'.

"On behalf of Her Majesty Queen Daenerys, I accept your blessing, Captain Mero." Ian first motioned to his men to stop the performance in the hall, and then raised a glass in response. Whether Mero did it intentionally or not, this is true. It’s an opportunity to express one’s position.

Becoming king is inevitable, but it cannot be now. Ian must hide his ambitions for a while in order to bring Meereen and New Gith back into his alliance. Without their support, the war between himself and the Horse King could easily turn into a protracted siege.

"And you, Captain Puranda." After Ian drank the wine in the glass, he refilled a glass for himself and raised it to Captain Stormcrow. His voice was very loud, making everyone present. Can hear clearly, "It was the loyalty and bravery of the two of you that allowed us to defeat the conspiracy of Farzahar Zo Farza (Rabbit) and the Volantis so quickly!"

Suddenly, the wise masters and nobles in the entire banquet hall who were still unaware of the situation suddenly concentrated their attention.

"Fazahar, as the chief deputy commander of Yunkai, actually united with the Slave Chamber of Commerce in Volantis to destroy the Gith Alliance at this moment when the war was approaching! They first stole the warehouse guarded by General Grazdo Zo Alc I want Yunkai to break the treaty that provides me with food and frame General Grazdor, thereby monopolizing the Yunkai army's say.

Then, after General Grazdo gathered enough food to fill the vacancy in Yunkai in order to maintain unity, Fazahar sent the Bloody Hand mercenary group he hired from the Volantis to pursue Grazdo. The general's grain ships are trying to bring me to war with Yunkai. ” Ian continued.

"What is the purpose of Fazaha (Rabbit)? Why did he do this?" A sage under the great sage Yazan who has a good relationship with Grazdan cooperated.

"He hopes that the Gith Alliance will fail when facing the centaurs, so that the entire Slaver's Bay will become a prisoner of Khal Drogo. The Volantis Chamber of Commerce has sent the largest number of ships to Slaver's Bay. At that time, they will be able to obtain an extremely large number of slaves at the cheapest price, and General Fazaha will flee to Volantis after the war and share the income equally with them." Grazdan Mo Eraz Station He stood up and said loudly.

As soon as Grazdan finished speaking, there was an uproar in the entire banquet hall. Even the sages of the Generalissimo faction began to despise Fazaha.

"In order to further expand interests, Fazaha found Lord Grazdan who has the most ships in Yunkai," Ian took over again, "Sir, the great sage Yazan has more ships, but everyone knows that Yazan The Lord has been withdrawn from worldly affairs in recent years, and Lord Grazdan is helping to take care of many of his businesses. So Fazaha approached Lord Grazdan, hoping to invite him to join his plan so that they could run away More slaves.”

"But he underestimated Lord Grazdan's loyalty to Yunkai and his insistence on the glory of the Gith!" Ian suddenly raised his voice, "Lord Grazdan informed him as soon as he learned of Fazaha's conspiracy. He killed me, Lord Yazan, General Grazdo (shaking his butt), and the Grand Marshal, just to thwart Fazahar’s conspiracy as soon as possible.”

"And we started taking action immediately," Ian said after a pause, and said with a hint of sadness, "Unfortunately, when we successfully captured Fazahar and the Volantis businessman, Your Majesty the Grand Marshal, we Dear Lord Yakhaz Zo Yazzak, he was killed by Fazaha, who took advantage of the Generalissimo’s trust in him and stole the Generalissimo’s military talisman.”

"Traitor! Traitor of Yunkai! Hang him!" I don't know who shouted this first, and then all the Yunkai nobles became angry.

There seemed to be one or two people who were relatively sober during this period, but when they found that everyone around them was shouting, and Ian's eyes were sweeping over them, they all started shouting together from the bottom of their hearts.

No matter how true or false what the new conqueror said, his remarks that put all the blame on Fazaha alone are undoubtedly good news for everyone here. .

For the sages of the Grand Marshal faction, this means that all settlements only end with Fazaha and the Faza family. The Grand Marshal is not guilty, and neither are they. If you don't follow the flag and shout at this time, do you want to be treated as an accomplice of that dead rabbit?

As for the wise master of the Yazan faction, Ian characterized his entry into the city as helping Yunkai quell the rebellion rather than attacking the hostile Yunkai, which meant that Ian did not come as a conqueror and had no intention of attacking Yunkai. Yunkai makes the claim.

Yunkai is still the Yunkai of the Yunkai people. After the Grand Marshal faction was severely damaged, they, the wise masters of the Yazan faction, became the new masters of the city as the winners of the internal fighting.

"I understand your anger. I also want to kill Fazaha (the rabbit) quickly, but I can't overstep it," Ian said, turning to Grazdan. "According to the laws of Yunkai, Fazaha How should the crime be dealt with?”
