Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

Ian originally thought that there would be a fierce battle next. After he ordered a formal invasion of the city in southwest Volantis, his ambition to seize the city by force was already on paper.

In Ian's view, by this time the Great Council could no longer maintain its previous appeasement strategy. They would have to mobilize all the legions they could muster to launch a general attack on their controlled areas to suppress the rebellion.

However, what Ian didn't expect at all was that the offensive he expected did not come. On the contrary, the spies he deployed on the front line also sent back news of internal strife in the Parliamentary Army.

At the beginning, Ian thought this was a trap set by the opponent's players, so he ordered the entire army to enter the highest alert state. He even shrunk the defense line and gave up all the blocks located in the protrusion.

But after they were on high-intensity alert all night, Ian once again received news from the scouts - the Volantis Parliamentary Army had withdrawn from the defense line south of North Port and headed south. By now it had retreated to Near Long Bridge.

Perhaps because of the players' doubts, Ian still made a conservative choice this time. He did not march south immediately, but only sent a few teams of fanatics led by mercenaries to explore the neighborhoods abandoned by the parliamentary army. .

This time, the news from the front line made Ian completely exhausted - the enemy did not retreat completely, but left more than a thousand corpses, the most conspicuous of which was the one directly belonging to the Malachor Consul. The guards of the first battalion of the Tiger Robe Army wearing Kohor's black goat plate armor.

After repeatedly confirming safety, Ian disguised himself and came to the battlefield where the Volantis Parliamentary Army was fighting for inspection.

This is a relatively safe position behind the parliamentary defense line in the south of Beigang. Judging from the flags that have not been removed from the nearby roofs, this should be the location of the first brigade of the Tiger Pao Army City Guard.

And there are indeed more than a hundred corpses wearing black goat plate armor or lined mail. There are also hundreds of unarmored corpses wearing only armed clothing.

Ian walked around the battlefield twice, and after observing the terrain and the division of corpses, he basically restored the situation at that time - Malachor's first battalion of the Tiger Army was obviously in a state of insecurity when it was attacked. A state of alert relaxation.

Because the weather at the end of the long summer is already outrageously hot, and the location of this camp is safe enough, even if the rebels in Beigang launch an attack, they will have enough time to cover up. Most of the tiger-robed troops here are dressed in relatively "cool" clothes, either just wearing armed uniforms or just lined mail armor. Except for the personnel responsible for guarding, almost no one is fully armed.

At this time, they were attacked by trusted friendly forces - the Wisama family, the Qiheda family and the Panymeen family. The three elephant party families attacked them at the same time, and the unsuspecting first battalion Tiger Robes The army was quickly wiped out.

Then the soldiers and horses of the three major families didn't even have time to clean the battlefield, and they retreated in a hurry, as if they would be caught by something dirty if they walked slowly. So much of the weapons and armor of these war dead, as well as the black goat plate armor in the camp of the first brigade of the Tiger Robe Army, were left behind.

After completing the restoration of the battlefield, Ian immediately ruled out the possibility that this was a trap. The parliamentary army did not have many troops in the city of Volantis, so it was really hard to let them use the most elite battle as bait. It's too absurd.

But what happened inside the black wall that made the Tiger Party and the Elephant Party choose to fight among themselves at this critical moment was something Ian couldn't understand.

He inexplicably remembered an interesting saying recorded by a certain Tsarist Russian general in his notes - if your enemy is a genius, it will be difficult for you to judge his intentions, but if your enemy is a fool, then it will be difficult for you to judge his intentions. It's even harder.

At this moment, Ian felt that he was in such a difficult situation.

But no matter what, it was impossible for Ian to refuse the spoils handed over by the Parliamentary Army. He ordered his tiger robe army to divide the equipment, and then took over the defense line of the Parliamentary Army south of North Port.

In the early morning of the next day, the news that the Parliamentary Army completely abandoned Volantis' city on the west bank of the Rhoyne River, withdrew the army across the Long Bridge and headed to the east bank of the Rhoyne River, was first heard, and then the entire lower city fell into chaos. information.

Ian initially tried to ask the red-robed monks to help maintain order. After finding that it did not work, he gave up his plan to take over the city and only sent troops to occupy some important buildings, such as the church, the armory, the granary and the block with the largest concentration of blacksmith shops. , and armed the mobilized believers with all the weapons he could muster.

That night, 3,000 men from the Fourth Legion of the Tiger Army under Belicio Valeros also successfully arrived in Volantis by boat from the town of Velonces. 500 of these people were heavy cavalry. Originally, they There were also 20 war elephants, but there was no ship that could carry these animals, so they were left in the town of Velonces.

After receiving the support of the Fourth Army, the strength of Ian's men greatly increased. Many people suggested that Ian cross the long bridge and attack the black wall directly, but Ian refused.

In the absence of siege weapons, it would be too crazy to try to attack the Black Wall of Volantis. Even if he finally succeeded in breaking through, what would he use to deal with the upcoming Golden Company after suffering such losses? ?

So another day passed without incident. At this time, Ian collected information from the red-robed monks from various places and estimated that the number of believers who had been armed by them was close to 30,000.

At the same time, the eagle that Ian sent to Volantis from Slaver's Bay after using prophecy magic to improve his mental weakness had also arrived in the Summer Sea and was found two days' voyage south of Volantis. The fleet from Slaver's Bay bound for Volantis.

Without stopping at the fleet, Ian controlled the Falcon and headed north, arriving in Volantis at dusk that day.

At this point, Ian's blind time came to an end.

Before nightfall, Ian quickly surveyed the Volantis Parliamentary Army's defense line on the east bank of the Long Bridge and their defenses on the Black Wall. The small number of troops they had almost shocked Ian.

It wasn't until Ian further investigated the upper city of Volantis within the Black Wall that he discovered that several Tiger Party mansions, including the Malachor Archon's Megoa family mansion, had been looted. .

After wandering around in the sky for two more times and realizing that there would be no new discoveries today, Ian continued to travel north, flew to the woods outside the city and found a big tree to rest for a few hours, and then headed north again. go.

In the early morning of the next day, Ian Falcon arrived at the town of Velonthes, which had indeed been occupied by the Golden Company. It's just that the Golden Company stayed in this city and had no intention of continuing southward - according to the illusion in the flames, they should have arrived in Volantis before the Volantis fleet from Slaver's Bay, but Even if they set out now, they won't be able to arrive in two days.

The future in flames turns out to be changeable. Melisandre failed to succeed in the original work, probably because she failed to accurately interpret the illusion.

After confirming that the Golden Company would not travel south for the time being, Ian was relieved. Although he was not sure what the other party's intention was, it at least gave him enough time to deal with matters in Volantis.

After lunch, Ian originally planned to let the clone rest for a while, and then let the Falcon continue northward to check out the situation near the Heartbreak Territory, but his plan was interrupted by an intruding guard.

"Your Majesty," this person is a powerful Hand of the Holy Fire personally selected by Benero for Ian, as Ian's personal bodyguard, "a delegation from the Volantis Elephant Party asked to see the leader of them. Claims to be the son of Archon Dophas Panymeon.”

"Let them in." Ian yawned.

The last mental injury was more serious than Ian imagined. He was always very tired when he controlled two bodies of Falcon and Kolu at the same time. In order to face the mission in a better condition, Ian could only let Falcon continue to rest for the time being.

After a while, three envoys wearing traditional Volantis aristocratic costumes walked into Ian's study. It was originally the residence of a certain chamber of commerce boss, and is now requisitioned by Ian.

"Gith?" The youngest son of Dofas frowned as soon as he saw Ian Korlu. Before Ian could answer, he angrily shouted at the Hand of the Holy Fire, "I asked you to lead We are meeting your leader, why are you bringing me to meet a Gith?”

"Duke Koru is our leader." The Hand of the Holy Fire didn't understand the twists and turns, and answered the question directly and truthfully.

"Just him?" Dofas' son didn't buy it and sneered immediately, "You still want to pretend to us, right? Call Justice Palachiro and his son Belicio to come out. Don't even think about it. You can get rid of us just by pushing a rotten fish or shrimp!"

"Sir, do you want me to cut out his tongue?" Before the Hand of Holy Fire could answer, 'Bone Crusher' Belakovo, who was standing by the door, took a step forward and pulled out the short knife from his waist.

"How dare you?!" Dofas' son wanted to taunt, but unexpectedly, the Bonebreaker grabbed his neck with one hand, first raised it into the air and then pressed it on the table.

The strength in the Bone Crusher's hand made the son of Dofas open his mouth. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Bone Crusher let go of the opponent's neck, stretched out his hand to pull out his tongue, and then cut it quickly and hard with a short knife. .

"Stop." The moment Ian shouted stop, the bone crusher's arrival stopped at the edge of Dofas' son's tongue.

The descendant of the Panimion family had already broken out in a cold sweat. He knew very well that the slave warrior just now meant it. If the Gith man he had ridiculed just now hadn't told him to stop, he would never be able to do anything else for the rest of his life. Want to talk.

Although he didn't mean to thank the Gith man in his heart. He knew that the other party called to stop because he was afraid of the Volantis Elephant Party, but the bonecrusher's knife just now did kill his arrogance.

"Your Excellency, Duke, please tell His Excellency Justice Palachiro," He no longer dares to clamor for the justice to come out to see him. He just wants to convey his father's meaning as soon as possible, and then leave this ghost place as soon as possible. " We have seen through the conspiracy between you and Lord Consul Malachor Meguirre, and now that Malachor has been arrested by the Great Council, you have lost the informant in the Black Wall."

After saying that, the son of Dofas looked up and saw that Ian had no reaction, so he added: "If the Lord Chancellor hopes that Archon Malachor and his student Manius will be safe and sound, we advise him Give up the rebellion immediately and surrender to the Grand Council, and we will deal with his treason as appropriate."

"I will tell the justice the truth." It took Ian a long time to hold back these words. He was professionally trained and would not laugh no matter how funny things were, but it was really hard to endure it.

"Then let's say goodbye first." Dofas' son was very satisfied with Ian's performance, thinking that the other person was at a loss because the secret was suddenly revealed.

After the Xiang Party delegation left, Ian, who had been holding back his smile for a long time, no longer wanted to laugh.

He just remembered that sentence again - if your enemy is a genius, then it will be difficult for you to judge his intentions, and if your enemy is a fool, it will be even harder.

What kind of brain circuit makes you think that you and the Malachor Archon are in the same group? He served Malachor without even asking for confirmation? Ian's first reaction was absurd, too absurd.

But when he really calmed down and reviewed the matter, he felt that it was reasonable for the Elephant Party to think so. After all, from the Elephant Party’s perspective, the Gith had already been defeated, so they never used Gith from the beginning to the end. If the regiment is treated as a dish, they will only think that this rebellion is the work of the chief justice.

And it is impossible for the justice to do things for no reason, and combined with the two clues that the justice is a member of the Tiger Party, and the Tiger Party army mobilized by the Malachor Consul did not actually suppress the rebellion, they will naturally doubt this. The whole thing was directed and staged by the Tiger Party.

If you combine this with the hundreds of years of conflicts and conflicts between the Tiger and Elephant parties, as well as the fear of the Tiger Party that is engraved in the bones of the Elephant Party members, it is not surprising that they would do this.

In addition, it seems that it is not unusual for the enemy to be busy fighting among himself. If you open a history book, you will find such a story within a few pages.

For a moment, Ian suddenly felt a little disappointed. He had made so many plans in advance to capture Volantis, but in the end, most of his plans were not used, and Volantis became his own. things. It was as if he had hit the cotton with a punch he had gathered all his strength, which really made it difficult for him to feel a sense of accomplishment.

However, this disappointment was swept away in just a few seconds. In the final analysis, he came to seek victory, not excitement.

"Belakovo," Ian called out the Bonecrusher's name, "inform His Excellency Justice Palachiro and ask him to submit an invitation to the Volantis Grand Council to formally negotiate in three days."

The Volantis fleet from Slaver's Bay will arrive at Volantis port tomorrow, and Ian decides to allow two days for 'the news of the defeat of the Horselord and the news that hundreds of Volantis ships have been detained by Meereen' Leave to ferment within the Black Wall, then watch the Volantis nobles perform the third act during the meeting.
