Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game
Chapter 329 Acting School
The third day and night after the suspension of offerings, the southern part of Meereen
"Master Jun, please do me a favor and give me some food. Just a little is enough. My son will starve to death soon!"
"Master Jun, please do your best."
"Give us some food."
The cries of the hungry people kept coming. Shortly after entering the city, the centurion led by Centurion Genz, who was reorganizing the new army, to transport supplies to the Great Pyramid, was surrounded by hungry people coming from all directions.
Facing the continuous influx of disaster victims, Genz first ordered them to be expelled, and then pretended to be defeated, and led his people to abandon the grain trucks and start running away. Upon seeing this, the hungry people rushed forward and frantically snatched the food from the grain trucks.
Originally, these civilians should not have starved during this turmoil. When Acting Finance Minister Hominas provided logistical support to Ian, he did not include civilians in the scope of purchasing food. And because these civilians themselves lack food sources, most of them dare not take advantage of the soaring food prices to buy the food stored at home in exchange for money.
In Ian's plan, the turmoil in Meereen will last for at most four to five days, and most civilians' food stores are enough to tide them over during this period. In order to ensure that the Great Lords of Meereen would not plunder civilians on a large scale, Ian also deliberately asked Hominas to store a certain amount of food in the city guard warehouse belonging to the Holy Lord faction, and asked Carlo, who was reorganizing the new army, to The general opened channels for 'smuggling military rations' into the city.
But after all, Ian underestimated the shamelessness of 'Holy Lord' Hizdahr and his gang. Even before their own food was in trouble, they actually lied about the city guard mutiny and ordered the city guard to sack nearly a quarter of Meereen.
Ian's purpose in starting this riot was to deal with the sea raiders in the port and the great masters of the Holy Lords of Meereen. If you just sit back and watch these civilians starve, and eventually reduce the city's population by half, it will be more than worth the gain. .
Therefore, soon after these victims were forced to take to the streets, Ian ordered the reorganized New Army outside the city to organize four hundred-man teams to transport large amounts of food into the city from different directions. They lied that they were delivering supplies to the Great Pyramid, but in fact the food was for the hungry.
Although providing food to the hungry people in this way will still cause them to suffer a lot of casualties in the battle, Ian is now in a state of 'fleeing back after defeat', and he cannot have the leisure to let the army go to the city to set up tents in an orderly manner. Give porridge to hungry people.
Sending supplies to the Great Pyramid was the only reason the New Army could transport food into the city that would not be suspected.
Moreover, after the news spread that the new army was hurriedly transporting food to the Great Pyramid, and the food was robbed halfway, it could also convey to everyone the message that the Great Pyramid was about to run out of food.
In this way, the tens of thousands of mercenaries and sailors in the port will not place their first plunder target on the Great Pyramid, which has "no food left", but will first target the city guards who took away the food. The great masters of the Holy Lord Sect in the granary.
Ian actually didn't want to cut off these great masters with his own hands. Killing nobles would not sound good anywhere in this world.
In Slaver's Bay, everyone may know that it was the Holy Lords who rebelled first, and Ian suppressed them.
But after the story spreads to Volantis, Qarth, and even Westeros, there is no guarantee that it will not become like 'Ian just won the battle and slaughtered the donkeys, slaughtering noble heroes. ’
It would be best for these great masters to die at the hands of those sea raiders, which is why Ian had previously asked Hominas to win over Xaro Xanwan Daxos, the Qarthian merchant.
Late at night on the third day after the supply was cut off, the Great Pyramid
"Your Majesty, Reznak wants to see you." The intelligence chief Mi Da walked up to the top of the Great Pyramid and reported to Ian Hui, who was overlooking the city.
A lot happened tonight, and Ian hasn't slept yet.
"Riznak?" Ian was a little surprised, "Why is he coming to see me at this time?"
Just before midnight, Ian's owl saw Reznak heading to the Lord's Pyramid of Lorak to attend a rebel gathering. At this time, the people of 'Holy Lord' Hizdahr had already found the person in charge of Volantis in the port area.
By dawn tomorrow at the latest, the rebellion of the Holy Lord Sect will no longer be a secret.
And now, Reznak suddenly asked to see him?
"Perhaps he wants to check if you are still alive?" Mida guessed, "There are many rumors saying that you have been murdered by Grazdan or Hominas. The person in charge of Meereen now is They. Maybe Reznak came just to confirm this."
"No," Ian shook his head slightly, "If they really think that I will pose a threat to them as long as I live, then he should come to me this afternoon. Since they have contacted the Volantis, that means To them, it makes no difference whether I live or die."
"Then..." Mi Da thought for a moment, "Then I can't think of any other possibilities."
"It doesn't matter, can't you just let him say it himself?" Ian shrugged, "Let him come up."
"Yes." Mi Da lowered his head slightly and retreated from the large terrace.
Looking at the intelligence chief leaving, Ian sighed softly.
Mi Da's loyalty was enough. This man was a fugitive and had experienced various hardships in his early years. Everything he had now was given by Ian, and he was very grateful for it. Ian can be sure that Mi Da's loyalty to him is higher than that of Grazdan Zo Eraz, or even Fermor, which is almost the same level as the Onion Knight Davos' loyalty to Stannis.
But in terms of ability, if he only managed a Meereen intelligence station, it would be okay. To be the intelligence manager of the entire empire, Mi Da, who was not highly educated, was somewhat lacking.
Thinking of this, the image of a bald eunuch could not help but appear in Ian's mind.
Wallis.
"What a pity." Ian then shook his head. He had killed Illyrio, and he might also kill Bronn Aegon and the old gryphon in Volantis. That eunuch was destined to be impossible for him to use. .
"Lord Darry!" Reznak's crying voice interrupted Ian's thinking.
Ian turned to look at the door of the terrace, and saw Reznak kneeling on the ground as soon as he rushed in, and then quickly crawled towards him on his hands and knees.
Reznak wanted to hug Ian's thigh, but Ian kicked him out subconsciously. Reznak rolled on the ground several times, and after stopping, he quickly got up and knelt down.
"Lord Darry! I am guilty!" Reznak bowed his head and burst into tears.
"Oh? What's your crime?" Ian couldn't help but become interested.
"It's like this. In fact, two months ago, I discovered a big thing. 'Holy Lord' Hizdahr and 'Green Saint' Grazdan were actually conspiring against you," Reznak said. As he said that, he climbed forward two steps.
"Then why didn't you report it to me?" Ian didn't understand why the other party suddenly came to talk about this at this time, so he asked cooperatively.
"Hizdahr and Grazdan are my old friends for many years. I was so soft-hearted that I didn't report it immediately. Of course!" Reznak raised his hand and said, "At that time, they just had this I had this idea but did not take any substantive actions, so I felt compassion and wanted to persuade them to come back before they really went astray."
"Oh? So you attended their secret meetings many times after that just to persuade them?" Ian hadn't heard such an interesting quibble for a long time, and he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Reznak's heart skipped a beat, as he had indeed been under Ian's surveillance!
"Of course, I have been trying to persuade them to calm down." Reznak said bravely. He had already decided before coming here that no matter what Ian said, he would never admit that he participated in the rebellion. Secret things.
Others don't know what Ian's 'God's Vision' is, but Reznak knows it. When they and Daznak (player) plotted to annihilate Ian's Astapor army in Yunkai , Daznak once showed them the ability to gain vision through animals.
So every one of their plots was carried out in the secret basement of Lorak's pyramid, where not even an insect could fly in. Reznak firmly believed that Ian had not heard the specific content of their plots.
In addition, all the preparations for the rebellion were done by the people of the Holy Lord and the Green Saint, and he was only responsible for coming up with ideas, so Reznak now insisted that he did not participate in the rebellion, and left the rest to God's will. .
“I have been trying to tell them that remaining loyal to you will allow them to gain greater benefits,” Reznak continued to quibble. “When a complete Empire of Gith is rebuilt, as a Gith noble with the noblest blood, They are sure to hold important positions in your empire.
But Hizdahr is somehow so short-sighted. He can't let go of his greed for the power of Meereen. The Green Saint also criticizes your move to establish the Red God as the state religion. This resulted in every meeting I had with them ending in an argument. "
"Until tonight, I suddenly received an invitation from Hizdahr," Reznak observed Ian's expression while vividly telling the lies he had already made up. "Considering the current situation in Meereen, I was nervous and worried that he would do something to aggravate the chaos, so I went to his appointment.
Unexpectedly, he told me that he had contacted the Volantis and planned to use the Volantis and other sea raiders to attack the Great Pyramid and reorganize the new army's camp, and then use the city guards to retake the building. control of the city. He invited me to join him and serve as his Grand Steward when he became successful."
"You refused?" Ian continued to cooperate.
"I agreed." Reznak shook his head, and then quickly explained, "If I refused, he would lock me up immediately. How could I have the opportunity to inform you about this?
I can only pretend to agree and win his trust before I can come to you secretly! They will start taking action tomorrow morning at the latest! I must tell you the news immediately. "
"Action tomorrow? What should I do now? The Great Pyramid does not have enough troops. It will definitely be impossible to defend it." Ian suddenly became panicked.
"Mobilize and reorganize new troops into the city! Abandon all other urban areas, concentrate the troops on the Harpy Square outside the Great Pyramid, control the four avenues, and hold on until reinforcements arrive!" Reznak said subconsciously.
"Reinforcements?" Ian sneered in his heart, but did not show it. "Where did the reinforcements come from? All my armies have been wiped out by Drogo, and the reorganization of the new army has been out of control. The only ones left who still obey my command are Several centurions were attacked while transporting food to the Great Pyramid and suffered heavy losses."
"Now I don't have any troops at all! What should I do? What should I do now?" Ian took Reznak's hand and asked.
"This" Seeing Ian's reaction, Reznak was completely stunned.
The fear in Ian's eyes did not seem to be fake, which made Reznak have to wonder if he had really made a wrong bet this time.
He has no doubt that Ian is acting. Ian's image in Slaver's Bay has always been arrogant, indifferent, confident, and sure of victory. This is the image of a natural emperor. How can people who don't know Ian's past know this Giese? Is he the supreme leader of mankind or is he an actor?
"We." Reznak opened his mouth, but no sound came out. The fear of being in the wrong team made him feel cold all over.
"Okay, tell me, how do you know that I have won the war?" Ian's cold voice sounded again, interrupting Reznak's thinking, and he quickly looked up at Ian.
Arrogant, indifferent, confident, and confident of victory, he became the same person again.
All this made Reznak wonder whether the scene he just saw was an hallucination, an hallucination caused by him being too afraid of choosing the wrong team.
Ian was standing in front of him, and Reznak didn't dare to ask. He could only answer Ian's questions honestly and tell his previous speculation. This time he didn't dare to lie anymore, his intuition told him that all lies in front of Ian were in vain.
He can only pray now, praying that the young emperor can open his eyes and let him escape.
"Is it really about the lack of food?" Ian frowned after hearing this, but Reznak buried his head very low and didn't see it.
It is normal for the plan to have omissions, because this plan was originally thought up by Ian after arriving in Meereen.
At the beginning, Ian's idea was not so radical. What he wanted at that time was to truly convey the victory back to Meereen. At the same time, he started to raise the price of food in Meereen for various reasons, and used the time to transport the prisoners back to Meereen to hold back the captains and consume their food reserves. Finally, Let them exchange ships for sky-high prices for food.
But after he heard that the great masters of the Holy Lord Sect were using food to make huge war profits and colluding with the captains in the port to secretly rebel, he changed his mind.
"Okay, stand up," Ian raised his hand, "I forgive your crime."
"Your Majesty? You?" Reznak looked up in disbelief.
"No matter what your considerations are, if you choose loyalty at the last moment, I will not let you down," Ian said, "but remember clearly, you only have one chance like this."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Reznak suddenly trembled with excitement. Just a moment ago, he thought that he was certain to die.
"I plan to establish a formal intelligence station in Volantis. There is a lack of a person in charge. Do you have any good people to recommend?"
"I'll go! Your Majesty, please give me this opportunity to atone for my sins!" Reznak couldn't tell that the purpose of Ian's question was to move him away from Slaver's Bay. In Volantis, I no longer have such deep connections and roots as here in Slaver's Bay. If I want to maintain my status, I can only work for Ian wholeheartedly.
But Reznak was not dissatisfied. He knew very well that Ian had shown mercy by not directly ordering him to be thrown off the large terrace. Moreover, the upper limit of the position of head of the intelligence station is very high. He is directly responsible to Ian. If he does well enough, it will not be difficult to gain a status like Mi Da next to Ian in the future.
"I want to rest. Now go find Mida and Hominas and help them arrange this operation." Ian walked towards the stairs and said to Reznak. "Before I get up, purify this place." City."
