Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

Chapter 298 Battle of Kaisai Pass (Prelude)

"It's midnight, where are you going?" Player Fugo stopped the skinchanger ally he made two months ago outside the camp.

"Of course I'm running away. There's no need for me to lie to you." Magharz said frankly, "And I suggest that you'd better leave with me."

"Where to escape?" Fogo asked immediately.

"Anywhere! Change your name and live in seclusion in the mountains." Magharz spread his hands, "Now the number of players has been less than 20. After the assassination mechanism in the standings has been cancelled, we already have the power to give up the game and wait for the survivors. .”

"Are you crazy?"

"I think you are crazy! Marko is dead! We have lost hope of a comeback. As far as the current situation is concerned, no matter whether Khal Drogo wins or loses, we have no means to take over his power. So. , what reason do we have to go against that person?"

Fogo was silent. He knew that Magharz was right. Almost all of his resources were given to Marko. The purpose was to train Marko into a super warrior with enough strength so that he could take over Khal Drogo in the future. of Karasa.

But now that Marko is dead, he has actually lost his foothold among the Dothraki based on his and Magharz's fighting prowess.

Although he currently has a certain status in Drogo's khalasar, this status comes entirely from Drogo's trust in him. If he wants to seize Drogo's power, it is a complete fantasy.

"But..." Fogo still retorted, "I'm really unwilling. Our plan, which we have prepared for so long, was ruined by Ian Darry."

"Look on the bright side, at least we're still alive, right?" Magharz was much more understanding than Fergo, "I should have told you about my old friend Daznak before, right? That's a powerful guy. He played me and our other ally around.

He was obviously the weakest among us, but later he not only set up a trap to induce us to break our alliance with him, but also easily got rid of the strongest gladiator among us, and left me like a lost dog. Escaped from Meereen and successfully took over all of our power. "

"But a guy like Daznak died tragically in Yunkai on the second day of the official battle with that Ian." Magharz said and shook his head, "I will form an alliance with you to deal with Ian... Darry was counting on you to defeat Ian's army head-on with absolute force on the battlefield, but now? The elite that Marco is so proud of actually lost to a group of slaves!"

"The Unsullied are also slaves." Fugo argued.

"But it wasn't the Unsullied who defeated Mako."

"Isn't it possible that Ian disguised them? For example, by disguising the Unsullied as recruiting slaves to lower Marco's vigilance?" Fogo also immediately made the decision to have sex with Marco during the day. The same judgment as before.

"Oh? Who knows? But I can tell you that the equipment of Ian's army stationed at Kesai Pass is more than one level better than that of Ghistaka! If you think he will be better If you waste equipment on recruiting slave soldiers, and then let the most elite Unsullied wear inferior equipment to exchange blood with the enemy, then maybe your suspicion can really be true."

"Didn't you try to get closer and observe? If Ian really consumed about half of the Unsullied in Ghistaka, then Drogo's chances of winning will be greatly increased."

"Ian's black dragon's wingspan has exceeded 5 meters! Do you know the deterrent that such a dragon can cause to nearby birds when it hovers over the Kaisai Pass? I will not take the risk of being attacked for close reconnaissance. And whether Drogo wins or loses is meaningless to me."

"If Drogo wins, at least we get our revenge."

"That's your hatred. I have no personal grudges with that count. If the plan goes well, of course I don't mind helping you defeat him. But your plan is over, and I will never stay here to do anything useless. Struggle." After Magharz finished saying this, he climbed onto a horse and left Drogokrassa's camp.

His character has always been like this. When he realized in Meereen that his chances of winning against Daznak were very low, he directly gave up the remaining power in his hands and escaped from Meereen without any resistance.

His approach was completely beyond Daznak's expectations, so that Daznak focused on how to deal with the power in his hands, and it was not until the end that he discovered that he had already escaped.

After watching Maghaz leave, Fogo hesitated for a moment and then chased after him.

The khalasari left in Drogo could no longer bring him substantial benefits, and he had to think of other ways to develop. Although this will make it difficult to compete with Ian in the future, as Maghaz said, they have already entered the top 20, and at least they have obtained the capital to survive.

As long as you can survive, failure will not be as terrible as before.

Perhaps it was because he had known for a long time that Ian had evacuated the population of Hexi and its surroundings into the Kaisai Pass. Today, Hexi has become an empty city. Drogo's Karasa arrived 50 meters northeast of Hexi. When Li Ge arrived, the forced march was stopped and changed to a regular march to allow the horses to rest.

This led to the fact that it was not until seven days after the end of the Battle of Ghistaka that Drogo's khalasar slowly arrived at Hesi.

This was both good news and bad news for Ian.

The good thing is that this gives Ian a longer dispatch time, allowing Ian to wait until the fleets of Astapor and Yunkai arrive at the Kesai Pass with the remaining legions urgently transferred from Astapor, and This allowed Ian to evacuate Hussey and the nearby Lazarins to a safer location.

The bad thing is that Drogo's khalasar's physical strength consumed by the long forced march will be restored during this time, making Ian lose the opportunity to fight with a tired army.

Ian even has a question mark on whether the next decisive battle will break out.

After all, the outcome of the Battle of Ghistaka is likely to shake the courage of the player who is still in Drogo Kalasari to have a decisive battle with him, allowing him to persuade Drogo to change his plan and attack other cities in the Lazar region first. Carry out plunder.

If Drogo makes such a choice, it will undoubtedly cause damage to Ian's reputation and future development potential.

Fortunately, Ian's concerns were quickly dispelled.

Khal Drogo did not raise his troops to go south to attack the southern city of Razashi. Instead, he started to collect supplies nearby with Hersey as the center.

Because Ian had already cleared the area near Hesi, the Dothraki's search operation that lasted for several days came to nothing.

Their supplies were further strained, and some Cass had even begun to slaughter some medium-sized marching horses for food.

This unusual situation quickly caught Ian's attention.

It stands to reason that if there are skinchanger players around Drogo, they should quickly figure out the situation near Hersi and make an early decision whether to go to the Kaisai Pass to find Ian for a decisive battle or go south to attack Lazashi and beyond. The decision to get food supplies was the right one.

However, they have been wasting time searching for villages near Hersi, and even now they have sent a large number of cavalry teams to wander nearby.

These situations all seem to be conveying a message - the shapechanger next to Drogo not only lost the courage to fight him decisively after the Battle of Ghistaka, but also simply lost the courage to continue to fight against him. .

Khal Drogo apparently became the headless fly he is now because he suddenly lost the aerial vision provided by the skinchanger.

Of course, this may also be a trap set by the other party in order to paralyze him and lure him to take the initiative.

Therefore, Ian is not in a hurry to take action. Anyway, it is completely beneficial to him to continue to waste time on Hersey.

after one day.

After clearing the battlefield of Ghistaka, the Meereen fleet led by General Fermor Mo Nakroz successfully arrived at the mouth of the river west of the Kesai Pass.

They brought a large number of crossbow bolts that Ian had prepared for Drogo, recovered from the battlefield of Ghistaka, and...

Ian named what Fermor brought, what he captured from Drogo's khalasa, Khal Drogo and his most beloved female slaves, their heirs and children who did not join the army because they were under age. They left prisoners such as the old mother in the camp.

Ian believed that, with the Dothraki's impulsiveness and recklessness, this would be enough to drive them insane.

As for the victors of the Battle of Ghistaka, Ian divided them into two categories. One category was the crossbowmen and sailors who participated in the battle on the battleship. They will then be organized into other legions by Ian to participate in the battle. Down to the war against Drogo.

As for the surviving New Gith Iron Legion infantry and Ian's Astapon slave soldiers, Ian does not intend to let them continue fighting.

The reason why he transferred these people to Kaisai Pass was just to give them honor and status in person, so that the slave soldiers here could open their eyes and see clearly what kind of reward the real brave people would receive. reward.

Then Ian will send them back to Meereen to rest, and use them as the core to reorganize the 1st and 2nd Iron Legions with the slave soldiers he trained in Meereen and Yunkai, forming them into two 6,000-man soldiers. level legion.

Of course, that's a story later.

Looking at Fermor who had arrived outside the camp, Ian personally led the team to greet him. Fermor and the legion he brought received the warmest welcome.

The morale of the Iron Legion slaves who won the Battle of Ghistaka was quite high at this time. They lined up neatly and held their heads high. Although at first glance they were not much different from before, but if you feel carefully, you can find them. The whole momentum has been completely transformed

Outside the camp gate, Ian selected the elite of the slave army and the allies from New Gith to line up to greet them. When the triumphant team approached, the slave soldiers of Astapor raised their arms and shouted, celebrating the victory.

But the citizen soldiers of Xingis seemed a little dull.

The story of the war has spread throughout Ian's camp at Kais Pass. The elite of the New Gith Second Iron Legion were pierced by the enemy in one blow and then quickly defeated, making the New Gith people here a laughing stock.

How could the soldiers at the bottom care that the chief general of Ghistaka, Femor, had placed the New Gith Army in the most dangerous position? What the New Gith people received was the enemy's heavy armor, led by the most well-equipped black goat armor cavalry of Qohor. The main force attacks these 'inconsequential' trivial matters.

All they knew was that the slaves from Astapor became the heroes of the northern battlefields, while the proud citizens of New Gith became the cowards and clowns.

Such humiliation made the commander-in-chief of the New Ghis Expeditionary Force, Eres Zo Emde, find Ian no less than three times in the past few days, asking for his legion to take the lead in the future.

For this request, Ian neither agreed nor refused, but said that he would consider it.

After all, where the final battle will take place and in what situation it will unfold, Ian can't say yet, and naturally he can't make a decision so early on which legion he wants to do what.

But the stimulation that should be given to the New Gith is indispensable, so Ian arranged for so many New Gith to welcome the victors.

Ian was riding at the front of the welcoming team. He was wearing the set of black scales made of Valyrian steel that he had captured from Euron. The sun shone on his body, and the edges of the dragon-like scales showed. Red golden light.

The two great guards, Keith and the water dancer Yada, followed him on the left and right. The former is wearing a new custom-made armor and looks like a steel giant, which is intimidating. The latter is alert to its surroundings like a snake, to be prepared for assassins who may appear at any time.

Of course, for Ian, his most important defense is actually in the sky.

The two falcons observed everything around Ian from different directions, while the half-year-old black dragon Ion was hovering above the valley. Whenever it flew low over the heads of the soldiers below, it would cause bursts of cheers.

"You are a hero, Fermor," Ian dismounted and hugged Fermor himself, "You have defeated an invincible enemy, and no one will be able to cover up your merits in this war. "

"Victory belongs to you, my lord." Fermor half-knelt on the ground. This was the first time he knelt down to Ian in public, so his move was equivalent to officially revealing Astapor to the outside world. Not Ian's ally, but a servant.

"This is the weapon of the barbarian Kaa I captured in Ghistaka," Fermor said, and the attendant standing next to him handed a black double-arc dragon bone bow to his hand. Then he held up the bow with both hands and presented it to Ian, "This bow is made of dragon bone. It is incredibly powerful and unparalleled in the world."

"As a certificate of victory in the Battle of Ghistaka, I present this bow to you. May Slaver's Bay be equally unparalleled under your rule and restore the glory of the ancient empire."

"I accept your gift." Ian reached out and took the dragon bone bow presented by Feimoer. He was about to offer a reward to Feimoer, but the other party spoke again.

"In addition, I must also apologize to you." Fermor continued.

"Excuse me? Why did you say that?" Ian asked knowingly. Of course, he had already known about Fermor's promise to the slave soldiers, and he had no intention of holding Fermor accountable.

But he wanted to know whether Fermor would take the initiative to admit this to him, which would determine Ian's subsequent appointment choice for Fermor.

If Fermor chooses to admit that he would rather bear his own anger than fulfill his promise to the soldiers, then Ian will further reuse him in future military operations.

Although a general who would be universally loved by soldiers would be a greater threat to the monarch, Ian knew that as long as he was alive, no one of his generals would dare to think wrong.

On the contrary, if Fermor had not admitted this matter, although Ian would not have killed the donkey, Fermor would probably have to live in the fiefdom for the rest of his life.

"I, I." Fermor really wanted to tell him about the excessive promises he had made to those slaves without authorization, but when the words came to his lips, he still did not dare to say them out.

Although he fought to the end in Ghistaka, even though he defeated a powerful Khalasa and plundered the horses and tribes that Khal Drogo left in Ghistaka. But when he actually came to Ian, Fermor couldn't help but feel a little scared.

The young man in front of him was almost the same as a god in Fermor's eyes, but he acted on the god's authority on the banks of the Gistaka river and modified the military rules set by Ian.

At this moment, Fermor suddenly began to worry about whether his achievements were enough to compensate for this transgression.

"You handed over an entire fleet and four legions to me, but I only brought back these people. This makes me feel deeply panicked." In the end, Fermor just lowered his head and changed his reason.

"For me, victory is the best explanation." Ian responded, feeling a little disappointed with Fermor's choice.

But this did not affect Ian's decision to reward Fermor. He drew out his sword and put it on Fermor's shoulder. "Because of your outstanding military exploits, I officially promoted you to a high noble. Get up, Fermor." Zo Nakroz.”

This was yet another attempt at tyranny by Ian.

The promotion mechanism of the Gith nobles has been lost for hundreds of years. In fact, the current Gith nobles have no idea what the specific procedures are for the promotion of high nobles.

So Ian simply established this rule himself.

The first time was during the fall of Yunkai, when he promoted Grazdan Zor Eraz to high nobility. Setting a precedent can be regarded as announcing to the entire Slaver's Bay that the door to promotion of high-ranking nobles has been reopened.

But because he did not gain absolute authority in the Alliance of Gith at that time, and the armies of Meereen and New Gith had not yet surrendered, he chose a method that no one else could find fault with - let the Council of the Wise Lords of Yunkai vote unanimously Through, this purpose was achieved.

But this time, Ian has completely controlled the entire Slaver's Bay military force, and with the power of defeating the centaurs this time, he directly changed the promotion process to be directly granted by himself.

Such a change is tantamount to declaring his absolute power among the Gith.

"I will fight for you until the last breath of my life, Your Majesty." Fermor obviously realized what Ian meant and responded quickly.

"I'm not your Majesty." Ian temporarily rejected the new title Fermor gave him, "Not yet."

He decided to formally claim this title only after defeating Drogo.

After saying that, Ian reached out to help Fermor, but Fermor did not move.

"Is there anything else you can do?" This is your last chance.

"I" Fermor hesitated again, but still said, "I have also committed other crimes."

"oh?"

"Before I faced the Dothraki army, in order to boost the morale of the Slave Iron Legion, I made an exaggerated promise to them. According to the rules I set, all the soldiers I brought will be promoted to A first-class slave, even a royal slave, this far exceeds the military merit rules you set, so..."

"So you expect me to keep your promise?"

"No, no, I don't dare." Fermor shook his head quickly, "I just don't dare to deceive you, so I apologize to you."

oh? Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the third situation? Ian smiled.

Fermor neither fought for the rights of his soldiers nor chose to conceal it, but simply apologized to me for his transgression.

Well, at least your loyalty is not in question.

"No, that is not a promise you made without permission, but an order I gave you before the war." This is the way Ian has long decided to deal with it. Regardless of whether Fermor admits it or not, he will give these slave soldiers this A standard reward.

"This?" Fermor suddenly raised his head.

"So, they will get everything they deserve," Ian continued, "but the same thing should not happen twice."

"Sir," Fermor murmured, "Thank you."

"You are fighting for me, and so are they." Ian glanced at the soldiers behind Fermor, and then looked at Fermor again, "After that, remember to ask your adjutant to cooperate with Celia in doing those soldiers' military exploits. settlement and their level promotion work.”

"what about me?"

"How did you make your soldiers in Gistaka jealous of those who followed me to Kaisai Pass? Now you are going to make the soldiers here jealous of those of you." Ian waved his hand and signaled. Fermor began to work.

Three more days passed like this.

Khal Drogo, who was stationed in Hersey, didn't know whether he finally recognized the reality that he could no longer collect food near Hersey, or whether he lost his mind after receiving the gift from Ian and finally led the entire Kara. Caesar began to march towards the Kaiser Pass.

According to his marching speed, Ian estimated that it would only take him two days at most to reach here.

And Drogo made this decision, which meant that the decisive battle was coming soon.

At the same time, the reinforcements that Ian mobilized from Astapo finally arrived at the Kesai Pass.

These people include the 3rd and 4th Unsullied Legions, the 3rd, 4th and 5th Slave Iron Legions, 6,000 crossbowmen who boarded the ship in Meereen, and old subordinates brought from Westeros by Ian. There are only 1,200 Praetorian Guards led by 'Black Falcon' Dorian.

That's right, with all his troops summoned to the front line, since Ian doesn't feel confident leaving Daenerys in Astapor, he naturally doesn't feel confident leaving her in Meereen either.

In contrast, it is safer to directly bring Daenerys to the front line.

Okay, it’s not a big chapter. I just looked at it and felt it would be more appropriate to break it here, so I left some of it here.

There will be another chapter next Wednesday
