Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

Ian's ploy worked.

Oberyn Martell was completely angered after receiving the news of the death of his brother Doran's youngest son, Prince Trystane. In order to prevent the puppet Prince Quentin supported by Lord Anders Yronwood from inheriting Dorne, Oberyn had to sit on his own. Climb up to the Throne of Dorne on the Tower of the Sun.

After Oberyn succeeded to the throne as Prince of Dorne, he immediately declared Lord Anders Yronwood to be treason and identified him as the mastermind behind the murders of Doran, Arianne and Trystane, and began to summon vassals to prepare to pacify Yronwood. Family rebellion, revenge for relatives.

In order to achieve this goal, Prince Oberyn visited the Valyrian Empire's envoy Duke Kolu for the second time, preparing to surrender in exchange for the empire's support.

But unfortunately, he missed it.

Long before Oberyn Martell held the ceremony to succeed the Prince of Dorne, Ian Korlu had already escaped from Sunspear City overnight and headed west.

After Oberyn's visit to Duke Kolu failed, he visited Kolu's residence for two consecutive days, but each time he received a response that the Duke was not at home.

Although Oberyn was originally impatient because he had not been able to see the imperial envoy for a long time, he did not have much doubt. But as rumors spread in Sunspear that he had killed his brother, his nephew, and sought power to usurp the throne, Oberyn suddenly had a terrible suspicion, which made him feel cold all over.

"I need revenge, Lord Anders," Ian Koru looked at Lord Anders Yronwood sitting opposite him, "Oberyn murdered Arianne, and I want him to pay the price."

This is a parlor in the nursery city of the Jordan family. Count Turbat Jordan is a close ally of Count Anders Yronwood. Anders was attacked by the 'Dark Star' hero. After Sir Luo's assassination, he led the survivors to escape here to recuperate.

Because the assassination of Count Anders was arranged by Ian, Count Anders' whereabouts have always been under Ian's control. After completing the assassination of several heirs of the Martell family and successfully forcing Oberyn to the throne of Dorne, Ian Koru rushed here immediately to meet Count Anders.

"Arianne," Count Anders said the name with a trace of hatred, "that vicious woman sent people to attack me and killed my attendants and close friends." He knew that Princess Arianne was This imperial envoy's 'mistress' still cursed unceremoniously.

"Maybe I should help her explain that she was deceived by Oberyn. But I won't," Ian shrugged. "I know what kind of person she is. Maybe Oberyn tricked her, but for Your attack must have been her intention and I cannot defend her.”

Anders was stunned for a moment. Ian Colu's honesty made him not know how to answer the conversation for a moment. He paused for a while, carefully studied Ian's words and then asked: "So, you yourself were not involved in this incident." conspiracy?"

"No." Ian's answer was simple but unquestionable.

Anders frowned and believed it in his heart. After all, the imperial envoy had been extremely arrogant since he appeared in Dorne. In addition, his refusal to defend Arianne just now made Anders Subconsciously I feel that this is a person who doesn't bother to lie.

"If she informs me of her plan in advance, I will definitely stop her, because as long as she has my support, she can sit firmly on the throne of Dorne without relying on any underhanded means." Ian continued .

After hearing this, Count Anders nodded subconsciously. This time he believed it at least 70%, because Ian was telling the truth. For Dorne, no matter which prince/princess the empire supports, the others No one is likely to object.

"So why did you come to me?" After confirming that Duke Koru had nothing to do with the plan to murder him, Count Anders' attitude suddenly became enthusiastic.

"The prince of Dorne cannot be Oberyn, he must pay the price for his actions." Ian said lightly.

"Of course!" Count Anders was instantly ecstatic. What he was most afraid of now was that the empire's fleet was on Oberyn's side. Ian's words spoke to his heart, "Prince Doran is still alive. The next son, Quentin Martell, should be the legitimate heir of Dorne! Oberyn is nothing but a usurper! A parricide!"

As Count Anders spoke, he observed Duke Kolu's expression, trying to find out whether the other party wanted to support Prince Quentin or had other plans.

"Arianne told me about her brother. He is your adopted son, right?"

"Yeah." Count Anders looked a little embarrassed, but he admitted directly.

"The empire respects the laws of Dorne, and Quentin will become the new prince," Ian nodded, and then changed the subject, "But."

"But what?"

"As far as I know, Prince Quentin is not in Dorne now, is he?"

"Yes, he went to Slaver's Bay half a year ago. Perhaps he has met His Majesty the Emperor and received his appreciation." Of course Anders didn't know Quentin's current situation, but this did not prevent him from That's for the best.

"It's also possible that we encountered a storm on the way and sank into the sea, or were caught or killed by pirates." Ian immediately proposed other 'possibilities'

"This" Count Anders' face turned pale. His adopted son Quentin is his biggest trump card now. If something goes wrong with Quentin, there will no longer be any legal doubts in the land of Prince Oberyn.

Moreover, there has been no news from Quentin for so long. Could something really happen to him? Anders couldn't help but think. In fact, he had already had such suspicions, but he didn't dare to think about it carefully.

"So, we have to have a plan for what if Prince Quentin is unable to return to Dorne."

"What do you mean?" Anders had some guesses for a moment.

"I hate Oberyn Martell, so he can't be the Prince of Dorne, besides..." Ian took a long breath, "Is Dorne's surname Martell or something else? , neither I nor His Majesty Emperor Ian care, as long as Dorne serves the empire."

"Seven Gods above." Count Anders' breath stagnated. Ian's words were no longer a hint, but a naked statement. If he couldn't understand it, wouldn't he be a fool? For a moment, he found that deep down in his heart, he suddenly began not to hope that Quentin would come back alive.

"Anyway, we'll talk about the future later. What we have to do now is to announce Oberyn's crime of parricide and usurping the throne, appoint Prince Quentin Martell as the new prince, and summon the Dorne princes to attack Oberyn."

"What about the Empire's fleet?" Anders asked the question he was most concerned about. Without the help of the Empire, he did not have much confidence in defeating Oberyn, the number one general in Dorne.

"The empire's fleet will land in Sunspear and surround the city." Ian's plan was to capture Sunspear directly, but he did not rush to make this promise because he had carefully scouted Sunspear. structure, knowing that this city is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack. If possible, he will first try to find a way to capture the city other than siege. "And you need to be responsible for defeating all the other Austrians standing in Dorne." The nobles on Bolun’s side.”

Ian did not plan to attack any Dornish castle other than Sunspear, as he did not want his army to be dragged here. After taking Sunspear, Ian was ready to directly join the incoming Redwin fleet carrying Dornish reinforcements and attack King's Landing. As for the resistance of the Dornish nobles, he was ready to leave it all to Count Anders to resolve. .

"I'll do it right away." Count Anders agreed with Ian's plan, and placed his own position under Ian Colu.

His reaction made Ian very satisfied. After all, one of the purposes of his choice to change the ruler of Dorne from Martell to Yronwood was to weaken the authority of the 'Prince'. Although the Yronwood family is powerful, they have no legal basis to inherit Dorne. If they want to rule Dorne for a long time, remaining loyal to the emperor is the only way out.
