"Give us a second choice?" The prince of Hersey in Raza City looked at Ian in confusion. He was the representative of the Hersey delegation visiting Meereen.

“Your cities will be able to join the Gith Alliance as subjects of the same level as Meereen, Yunkai, and Astapor and become part of the alliance, and other clans and tribes will also join this alliance as small subjects.

After joining the alliance, everyone here will obtain the status of new alliance nobles. According to the troops, population and land you provide to the alliance, some of you will obtain the status of high nobles and have the power to join the ruling parliament of the alliance.

Your people will all gain the status of free people of the Alliance and enjoy the same rights as the free people of Meereen, Yunkai, and Astapor. "Ian, who was surrounded by a group of envoys, gave his new conditions.

Allowing a large number of 'weatmen' to become freemen of the Alliance means losing a large number of people who should have become slaves after the war. This condition is consistent with Ian's original promise to Meereen, Yunkai and New Gith. Contradictory.

The reason why Ian demanded unconditional surrender from the plainsmen of Lazarin at the beginning was because he needed to take care of the interests of the Gith allies at the time.

After all, at the beginning, Meereen, Yunkai, and New Gith were willing to join Ian's alliance. In addition to the fear of Drogo, the horse king, a large part of the reason was that Ian had promised them that he would bring the entire Lazar region to their aid. Over three million of the people were turned into slaves of the Gith.

But now Meereen, Yunkai and Ian are no longer 'allies', and the only New Ghis that is not controlled by Ian is far away on the other side of the Gulf of Sorrow.

Now that Ian has gained 100% freedom in dealing with the issue of the Lazar area and the Lazarin people, Ian can naturally choose to solve the problem in the least ostracized way.

Another reason for Ian to make this decision is that the force in his hands is basically composed entirely of Gith, which makes Ian have to consider the traditions and overall interests of the Gith people more when doing anything. .

For example, helping Celia complete the missionary mission. According to the alliance function of the system, all the points gained by Celia from completing the mission can be transferred to Ian himself. Therefore, Ian has long wanted to start helping Celia in the slave industry. Bay spread the belief in the Red God with Ian's characteristics.

However, Ian has been unable to make this decision because his entire base is made up of Gith, and the Gith people all believe in the Harpy.

Introducing a large number of the weaker Lazarin population into your own rule, and reusing a group of satyrs into your ruling council, can very well dilute the Gith people's shares in your future empire, and increase your own authority as the chairman of the board. The right to speak.

"I have a question." After many envoys considered it, the envoy from the southern city of Lazarin was the first to speak. "Are all Lazarin people eligible to join the alliance?"

"Of course not." That would harm not the interests of the Gith nobles, but mine. "I only grant this condition to you. All tribes that have not sent envoys to join the alliance this time will be punished. We conquered and became slaves.”

Fortunately, several of the Lazarin envoys who came not to surrender but just to see the situation secretly rejoiced.

If it was the condition of surrendering as a slave that Ian proposed before, they still planned to wait and see for a while on whether to accept it, but as for the condition of joining the alliance and becoming a noble, there was nothing to wait for.

"As far as I know, the 'Ghis Alliance' you are talking about is just a temporary military alliance formed to fight against the invasion of the centaurs." Prince Hersey raised another question, "But the description you just made seems like It’s describing a country.”

"It used to be, but now, I can at least ensure that Astapor, Yunkai and Meereen agree to retain this alliance after the war and let it exist as a political subject." Ian looked around the envoy, "Now, I sincerely invite you to join. We will unite as we did thousands of years ago and restore the territory of the ancient empire. Neither the Dothraki nor the Qarth will ever think of entering the Raza region to hunt slaves again. As noble nobles of the Alliance, , will be protected by me.”

However, Prince Hersi, who existed as slaves of the Gith thousands of years ago, complained in his heart that we Lazarin people existed as slaves of the Gith, but his answer was very honest: "We will join your military alliance and provide you with legions, officially joining the alliance. I need to ask my father for advice. But I believe he will not refuse your generosity. I promise you that I will definitely convince my father."

Become a high-ranking noble of Gith, have the right to enter the ruling council, and be protected by the alliance. It is difficult to say whether this village will still have this shop under such conditions.

During his stay in Meereen, Prince Hersey had already seen what Ian's army was like. He was convinced that as long as Ian wanted to, he could sweep across the entire Lazar in less than half a year and wipe out all the satyrs. All taken as slaves.

If you join earlier and become an alliance noble, maybe those slaves will still have a share of Hersey by then.

"Razashi will fulfill our military obligations, and then we will seriously feedback your proposal to the Council of Elders. Like Prince Hersi, I believe that the Council of Elders will not reject your generosity." Razashi's envoy was also very happy Express your attitude quickly.

Lazar West is located in the south of the Lazar Region, far away from the harassment of the horse people. It has a large area of ​​fertile land. It is the most populous city in the entire Lazar Region, with a population of more than 80,000, and nearly 200,000 people living in the surrounding area.

In fact, like many plains tribes, they just came to watch this time, but the conditions given by Ian were too generous, and they were actually allowed to have the same status as Meereen, Yunkai and other cities, which made them really unable to reject.

"I'm worried that our people may not be interested in this." But then, a discordant voice sounded from the mouth of the Koslak envoy.

Koslak is located in the southeast of the Lazar region, close to the mountains and red wasteland. The total urban population and surrounding population is less than half of Lazar West, but it is the most powerful city in the entire Lazar region.

They are a mixture of goat people and many Red Waste people. They are the only city in the Raza region with a standing army and cavalry, and they often fight against the bandits in the Red Waste and the ogres from Adakar Kilaki. The most powerful Lazarin slave warriors in Meereen's arenas are often those from Kothrak.

But this level of power cannot be used as capital for you to openly oppose me. Ian narrowed his eyes.

Originally, Koslak's delegation was the last to arrive in Meereen, which caused the banquet to be postponed until today, which already made Ian very dissatisfied. I didn't expect that you would dare to push it further?

"So you chose option one, just to join this military alliance?" Ian seemed not to notice the arrogant tone of the Koslak envoy, and asked with a smile, "That's okay, as long as you provide more than five thousand If the human army joins us, I can promise as planned that the Gith Alliance will never attack Kothrak in the future, and our slave-catching teams will not enter your territory."

"We don't have that many soldiers to provide you, sir. The most we can accept is five hundred people."

"It doesn't sound sincere."

"We cannot gamble with the fate of the city, sir. I hope you can forgive us." Koslak's envoy bowed and lowered his posture.

"If every tribe had the same ideas as you, there would be no need for the alliance to exist. I don't need your five hundred people." Ian shook his head and directly rejected Koslak's envoy, "Go back, and Those tribes that did not send messengers pray together that the Dothraki will destroy our army. Otherwise you will know that you are not only gambling, but that you have placed your bet on the wrong side."

"Are you threatening me?" Kothrak envoy was furious. "The Dothraki did not make us surrender, the ogres of Adaka Kilaki did not make us surrender, and the storm of the Red Waste did not make us surrender."

"What about you? What are your choices?" Ian did not wait for the Koslak messenger to finish, but ignored him and looked at the others.

Messenger Koslak wanted to say something else, but was directly picked up by the two Unsullied people beside Ian and thrown out of the hall.

One of the three major cities rejected the proposal, which was a bad example, but Ian's tough response quickly frightened other thoughtful messengers.

Soon, almost all the messengers who arrived in Meereen accepted Ian's terms.

Unlike the two cities of Hexi and Lazhaxi, which only joined the military alliance and formally joined the alliance, 16 mountain clans and 14 plains tribes directly accepted the conditions for joining the alliance and swore an oath to Ian on the spot. Allegiance.

After the oath-taking ceremony, Ian collected a total of 6,500 mountain people and 12,000 plain people.

Considering that even if these people set out now, it will be one to two months before they arrive in Meereen. By that time, Khal Drogo may have already arrived in Meereen, so Ian chose to let them They went to Hexi, a city in Lhasa, to assemble, and at the same time, instructors and officers were sent to Hexi.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Ian's mind.

[Complete main mission three ‘Acquire 30,000 soldiers whose system quality evaluation exceeds B level’ and obtain 100 points]

After the points are updated, they will be

[Ian:

Points: 506]

Thirty thousand B-class soldiers? Ian then remembered that there was such a sub-task in the main mission three. The original task of obtaining 10,000 B-class soldiers was completed when all the Unsullied who had reached the age of training were incorporated into the regular army.

And now this number exceeds 30,000. Ian thought for a while, and the 12,000 Unsullied in his hands must be more than B-level, and then there are the 2,000 Guards Cavalry who have followed him on the expedition.

The thousand Dothraki slave cavalry still waiting in Astapor should also be up to standard, and then there are the first and second legions of the New Gith Iron Legion. These two are veterans of the standing army, with a total of 6,000 people.

As for the quality of other troops, the quality varied greatly. Ian could not judge by number the quality of those troops exceeded the B level judged by the system.

But no matter what, since I completed this task today because I accepted the command of these troops provided by the Lazarin people, it shows that the overall quality of my other armies is really not good.

In addition, only the task of "obtaining 30,000 B-class soldiers" was judged to be completed. The main task of ruling a population of more than 300,000 and the occupation of Meereen in bounty task 3 were not judged to be completed. This means that in In the system, a clear declaration must be made to truly exercise control.

In other words, Ian must be officially crowned King of Meereen in order to complete the task of occupying Meereen.

To complete the task of ruling the population, one needs to be formally installed as the Supreme Archon of the Gith Alliance or crowned Emperor of Gith.

Of course, Ian is not anxious about this issue for the time being.

Let’s talk about it after beating the horse king.

After checking the system information, the entire banquet was basically coming to an end.

Just when Ian was about to go to the area where the Meereen nobles were to explore their situation, a spy who was arranged to eavesdrop on everyone's conversation at the banquet (the entire waiters in the banquet hall were Ian's spies) secretly Came to Ian and reported a very exciting news to him.

The great lord of House Marek of Meereen is preparing to propose marriage to Ian for his granddaughter Enz Zo Marek later.

After receiving this news, Ian gave up his plan to go to the Meereen nobles, pretended to have drunk too much, and left early, without giving the great Lord Marik a chance to speak.

After all, if this matter is really brought up, it will be a trouble for Ian no matter what.

Accept it. Firstly, you have broken your previous promise to Daenerys. Secondly, a small family of the Great Master of Meereen is really not worthy of marrying you.

Even if he really wanted to get married, the other party would have to be the daughter of the Sea King of Braavos or the princess of the Emperor Yi Earth, right?

If it really doesn't work, if the former Prince Hazan really had a sister, it wouldn't be impossible to consider it. After all, the richest keykeeper in the Iron Bank is really rich.

But the Great Lord of Meereen?

What it is?

But it's not easy to refuse, because refusing is equivalent to saying publicly that you are unworthy.

It's easy to reject Marek, but once he sets a precedent.

Then the Gith nobles requesting marriage will come one after another.

What should Ian do then?

Ian knows very well that now that he has become the de facto supreme leader of the Gith people, there are countless Gith nobles who are thinking about giving him several sons with Gith blood. Including people like Femor of Astapor and Grazdan of Yunkai, who had sworn allegiance to him very early and have become his important ministers, may have this idea.

If they also proposed marriage to me, would I reject them all?

What does this make the Gith think?

If all these noble Gith families with high positions and noble blood are not worthy of marrying Ian, does he, Ian, not take us Gith seriously? Does he not regard us as one of his own?

This is very dangerous.

So Ian decided to put it off for the time being, waiting to discuss his marriage after defeating Horse King Drogo, raising his reputation to its peak, and incorporating the defeated Dothraki and Lazarin people into his empire. You can regain the initiative.
