Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

"Count Bronn, it's really not easy to meet you." Accompanied by four guards, Grazdan Zo Eraz began to move to the next level. "Obviously he is a member of the ruling committee, but he has never If you don't handle anything and are so lazy, aren't you afraid that Lord Darry will have objections to you?"

"Work? Haha," Bronn laughed, "When I saved Lord Darry's life in the underground temple of King's Landing earlier, I had finished all the work in this life, and maybe I will have done all the work in the next life too. , what I need to do now is another job to make the hens lay eggs."

"Speaking of which, how about those gifts I gave you last time? If you like it, I have more here." Grazdan stepped forward and walked side by side with Bronn, "Yunkai is good at this."

Grazdan liked Bronn very much. This earl, who was chosen by Ian as the representative of the 'Westeros faction' on the ruling council, had no interest in politics. He only used 20 bed slaves to get Bronn in almost all places. Support in things. Moreover, Earl Bronn had many unique insights into the 'art of sex', which made Grazdan regret that he was not a Yunkishite when they met him late.

"Your gift is just for fun. If I really want to lay eggs, I need a woman with nobler blood."

"Yeah." Grazdan was a little confused. This was not the first time Bronn had mentioned this matter to him, but he had not taken any fancy to the daughters of several low-level nobles and even the down-and-out high-ranking nobles he had arranged for Bronn to meet before.

After several times, he summarized Bronn's requirements. First, she must be the daughter of the head of the Great Master/Wise Master family. Secondly, her middle surname must be 'Zuo'. Finally, it would be best if the woman does not have any brothers. Of course, it doesn't matter even if she has brothers, Bronn has a way to make her have no brothers. Based on these conditions, there was no way Grazdan could take on the job of arranging a wife for Bronn.

"If you want to please the high-ranking aristocratic girls, maybe you have to change your nouveau riche clothes first." Grazdan could only talk about it, and in his words, he seemed to have completely forgotten that he was there. Not long ago, he himself was still a 'nouveau riche' in the eyes of everyone.

"Don't I look good in my clothes?" Bronn was wearing a bright golden velvet coat, a bearskin cloak, a large gold chain inlaid with emeralds and agate around his neck, and a ruby ​​gold belt around his waist. Even the scabbard is studded with countless finely crafted black diamonds.

Grazdan's face was a bit dark and he didn't know how to evaluate it.

"The two adults are a little late." Mi Da, the manager of the Meereen Intelligence Station, came forward to greet him. He glanced at the guards behind Grazdan and Bronn and said with a smile, "You don't have to be so vigilant. Although this The city is already in danger, but I can guarantee the safety of the Great Pyramid."

"As long as the earl returns to Meereen, all crises will disappear." Reznak Mo Reznak had already arrived here, and he spoke in the local High Valyrian with a thick guttural voice.

This person was the steward appointed by Daenerys after she captured Meereen in the original book. He has very good abilities. He has high influence among the local nobles and is also a second-class noble. After all considerations, Yi En made him the last member of the ruling committee.

"If the Earl cannot come back, you have made a second-hand plan, right?" Grazdan snorted coldly.

According to Mida's intelligence, many of the local nobles in Meereen secretly contacted the larger forces or temporary alliances in the port during this period, in order to seek help from those fleets to attack Meereen after Ian's defeat. Lin was spared from the plunder and even got a share of the pie.

Based on some clues, Grazdan suspected that Reznak, the oily and bald man covered in perfume, was also involved in those shady conspiracies. If he weren't worried that a direct showdown with Reznak would immediately cause chaos in Meereen, thus affecting Lord Darry's war on the front, Grazdan would really like to deal with this young man immediately.

"This is Meereen, and the Yunkai people want to monopolize power by slandering me. You are dreaming." I don't know whether Reznak is really upright and not afraid of the shadow, or whether he firmly believes that everything he has done is perfect. He responded to Grazdan in a defiant tone.

"Okay, since everyone is here, let's go upstairs to have an audience." Mida stopped the next quarrel among the ministers in time, snapped his fingers, and then the guard guarding the last step moved out of the way.

"What do you mean?" Bronn asked blankly, "Isn't there a terrace above?"

"Who are the people who will appear directly on the terrace at the top of the Great Pyramid and can make the three of us use the word "visit"? Grazdan laughed and quickly stepped up the stairs.

"Lord Darry is back?" Bronn reacted immediately, followed Grazdan's pace, and then asked, "It's true that he needs us to see him, but what does this have to do with appearing directly on the terrace? relation?"

"How long was Ion's wingspan when you last saw him?" Grazdan reminded.

"Four meters? Five meters?" Bronn didn't care about this.

"Now two months have passed, carrying people is no longer a problem for it." Grazdan said, disappearing around the corner with Bronn.

"Lord Reznak, what are you waiting for?" Only then did Mi Da speak out to remind the last ruling member who was still in a daze.

"No, it's nothing." Reznak touched his shiny head and quickly walked up the stairs.

"Sir, you are really back!" As soon as Grazdan stepped onto the top terrace, he saw the familiar figure of Ian, and the black dragon Ion was crawling behind him. The top terrace of the Great Pyramid was large enough for Ion to lie on it without being noticed by people below.

After sighing, Grazdan immediately knelt down, and Bronn and Reznak who came up from behind immediately followed suit.

Ian gave a slight 'hmm', and then the three of them stood up.

"Report on the situation in Meereen." Ian said casually, sitting at a stone table and drinking tea.

This made the three oh no, two ruling committee members who were eager to ask a bunch of questions hold back their words.

They are very eager to know what it means for Ian to come back at this time. Is he taking time to come back to deal with work before the decisive battle? The decisive battle has been won. Return to Meereen early to prepare for the triumphal ceremony? Or did he abandon the army and run away in despair after losing the decisive battle?

Ian seemed to have no intention of taking the initiative and asked them to report on their work first, and they did not dare to ask any more questions.

Grazdan and Reznak looked at each other, and neither of them was willing to be the reporter. After all, the overall situation in Meereen is very bad now, and whoever reports it may bear Ian's wrath.

But the two people did not stand in a stalemate for long. After only a few seconds, Grazdan stood up.

Reznak was promoted by Ian in order to give the Meereen nobles a sense of balance. He and Ian had not even met a few times.

Bronn is a mercenary who followed Ian from Westeros and knows nothing but killing. And everyone knows that he once saved Ian's life. Now Ian rewards him with a castle, status and title, but doesn't let him work at all, just to set up a flag for everyone and tell them, risk your life for me today. Work hard, Bronn's today is your tomorrow.

Compared with them, Grazdan Zo Eraz believes that he is the only person whom Ian focuses on cultivating. Not only the ruling committee of Meereen, but also the imperial council of the empire will have his own seat in the future, so this time In the end, everything in Lin's affairs must be borne by himself.

"The overall situation in Meereen is not optimistic," Grazdan reported truthfully. "Since you left, many things have been messed up. Those conspirators who did not dare to make small moves when you were still there have started to act again. You All the elites of the coalition forces were taken away, leaving only a few untrained rabble in Meereen. These people are useless even if they take to the streets to maintain order."

"Law and order is chaotic?" Ian summed it up concisely.

"Yes," Grazdan nodded and continued, "Then there is the food crisis. Although after you issued the decree to purchase unlimited food from all over the world, a large number of Volantis food ships did come to Slaver's Bay, but They never left after arriving. In addition, a large number of slave ships and various merchant ships swarmed into the three cities of Slaver's Bay, mainly the port of Meereen. Even after the port of Meereen was full, the people on the nearby coast The natural haven is also full of boats.

These tens of thousands of sailors and oarsmen put great pressure on Meereen's food supply, and food prices continued to soar. On the front line, due to the evacuation of Hersi civilians and the victory of the Battle of Gistaka, a large number of prisoners were taken The captives captured by Drogo khalasa once again opened tens of thousands of mouths, further increasing the pressure on Meereen's food supply.

Fortunately, Miss Celia obtained a huge amount of funds from Hominus, which allowed us to purchase all the grain stored in the city by the major Meereen families and their granaries near the Skarhazaban Valley. The supply of food and grass to the front line was basically guaranteed.

But even this situation can't last long. If we can't sell a large number of prisoners to the fleets in the port as soon as possible and let them sail away from Slaver's Bay, even if we give away all the remaining gold coins Those Meereen nobles have no food to sell. The current agricultural level of Slaver's Bay cannot support this population. "

War is an extension of politics, and politics is the concentrated expression of economy. Fighting a war means burning money and resources.

In their reports to themselves, Celia and Hominas briefly touched on these various economic and logistical aspects. So much so that although Ian knew that the logistics would be troublesome, he didn't expect it to be so troublesome.

Of course, Ian would not blame them. After all, with all their efforts, the entire logistics system did not collapse until he defeated Drogo. Since what they have done has completely met Ian's expectations, what reason do they have to report worries to Ian?

Trouble that employees can solve is not the boss's trouble. As Robert said, I am only responsible for spending money, finding money is the responsibility of your little finger.

"What do you think of Hominas?" Ian suddenly changed the subject.

Grazdan was stunned for a moment, and then realized from Ian's confident expression that Ian already had a solution to the problems he just reported, and even the problems had actually been solved.

"Hominas." Grazdan breathed a sigh of relief and began to answer Ian's question, "I must admit that he is a talent. After Miss Celia left, he accepted him from Celia. Everything is handled in an orderly manner, and he is in charge of the entire food dispatching matter." It would be great if Hominas could replace that damn Reznak as the ruling committee member, he added in his heart.

"What about you? What do you think of Hominus?" Ian turned to Bronn and asked.

"Ah, he is a talent." Bronn touched the large gold chain inlaid with various gemstones on his chest and gave a positive evaluation.

Ian then turned to Reznak.

"I don't have many working contacts with that Braavos man, and I'm not familiar with him, but Meereen is in today's crisis, and I think this person needs to bear the primary responsibility." Reznak's evaluation was consistent with The first two are completely different and even have a certain degree of aggression.

"Okay, I understand." Ian nodded, "You go down first. Isn't there a grand banquet for the captains in the hall on the third floor? It would be rude if you don't attend."

"How do you know?" Grazdan wanted to ask subconsciously, but then he remembered that Lord Darry is a person with 'God's Vision', so he should know everything.

"Okay." The three of Grazdan bowed immediately and prepared to leave.

"By the way, Grazdan, when you go down, announce to them that the supply of food and grass in Meereen City will be cut off. Starting from tomorrow, not a single grain of food from the Skahazaban Valley will enter the Meereen market." Ian said at the end Then he issued his order.

"How can this be done?!" Reznak exploded instantly, "The nobles of Meereen have sold most of the food stored in the Great Pyramid, and now they rely on the food transported from the river valley every day. If If Meereen runs out of food, all the nobles will be affected!"

"The war ahead is tight," Ian spread his hands. In fact, the fight has already been completed, and he has received a very generous supplement from the Lazarin people. "All the food in the river valley must be sent to the front line. I assure you that this will not last long. Soon, I will defeat Drogo soon. Before the food supply in Meereen is restored, you can think of a solution for yourself first."

"Sir!" Reznak still wanted to argue.

"Back off." Ian said softly.

Reznak was shocked, immediately shut his mouth, and then exited the terrace tremblingly.

It was not until the three ruling members left that the intelligence chief Mi Da brought Hominas to Ian again.

"Lord Darry." Hominus bowed.
