Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 243 The Purpose of the Three Cities

"The messengers from the three cities of Meereen are lobbying Queen Daenerys' important ministers. If they succeed, Earl Darry will take the army to Lazarin." Fermor found him in his study.

"Is there any question?" Fermor was still writing on the paper without looking up.

"If Earl Darry spent his army in the war with the horse king, what will he use to conquer Slaver's Bay? What will he use to fulfill his promise to us?" Lexix asked strangely.

"Haha," Femor chuckled, and instead of answering the question, asked rhetorically, "Have you ever thought that if Earl Darry hadn't thrown his army into the war with the horse king, what would have happened to Slaver's Bay? What did it look like?"

"This..." Lesix was taken aback.

"Do you also think like others that the Earl decided to unite the three cities of Ghis and seek a war against the Dothraki in order to preserve his so-called honor?"

"Are you trying to say that he is actually protecting Slaver's Bay by doing this? So." Lesix thought thoughtfully.

"Only when he has regarded Slaver's Bay as his own, will he try to protect the entire Slave's Bay from the destruction of the war." Fermor explained.

"But... if it's just to fulfill his promise to us, he doesn't need to do this level, right? Aren't they only going to stay in Slaver's Bay for two years? It doesn't matter to him whether the Skahazaban River Basin has been destroyed or not. What?" Lesix suddenly discovered a bigger problem.

"Patience, my friend, patience." Fermor unknowingly caught Ian's speaking style, "To be honest, I'm not sure how long Earl Darry and the others plan to stay in Slaver's Bay.

But well. We still don't need to worry too much, because we are of sufficient use value to him. As long as his military expansion plan continues, he needs us, and needs nearly a hundred outstanding Unsullied under our hands. Instructor.When he doesn't need us, he should leave.

I'm still saying, they don't belong here, the king of Westeros will return to Westeros sooner or later, as long as we do our due diligence before they leave.When he's gone, he won't find anyone better suited to help him run Slaver's Bay than me.The Giss are a proud nation, and only the Giss is suitable to rule the Giss. "

"He already talked to you?" Lysix suddenly thought of a certain possibility after listening.

"Yes, he told me about his plan in detail," Fermor admitted.

"You choose to believe him?"

"Only before the deal with the Unsullied was concluded, I had the right to choose whether to believe him or not. At that time... I admitted that I was emotionally aroused by the words of the red-robed woman and made an impulsive decision." Fei Moulton paused, "As for now, we have no choice. We can only take his boat and sail all the way, either to recover the glory of Gujis, or to die in the storm."

"Okay," Lexix nodded, and then asked, "I have another question. Why are the envoys from Meereen and their cities so enthusiastic about Ian's participation in the war? I heard that Daenerys The conditions given to them by Queen Silk's finance minister Celia were completely blackmailed, but they continued to visit other important ministers.

Sometimes I wonder, do they really have no other choice?If this alliance is not reached, and in the end Meereen and Yunkai choose to help the Mawang to deal with Astapor, even if the Skahazaban River Valley will be destroyed, will the Worm River Valley be happy?Queen Daenerys will suffer no less than Meereen and Yunkai. "

"However, if the coalition forces can defeat the most powerful card LS on the Dothraki sea in the field, for Meereen and Yunkai, it means that in the future they can take the Lazarin region with a population of more than 400 million into their pockets. .” Femor explained that Ian told him these words when he was talking with Ian, but this did not affect him from pretending to be sophisticated.

"The Lazarin area is densely populated and the land is fertile. Meereen has coveted that land for thousands of years. It's just that Lazarin is the main target of looting by the Dothraki, and Meereen has never dared to occupy that land. They need to keep a large buffer zone with the Dothraki Sea so that the Dothraki don't see the Ghis as targets for raiding.

But if Khal Drogo's army falls before the Gith, according to Dothraki custom, they will never challenge the Gith again. For Meereen and Yunkai, this is the time they will Chances of expanding territory to more than triple what it is now.

Perhaps at first they hoped that Lord Darry would go to fight in Lazarin just to hope that his army would be wiped out by Khal Drogo, so as to survive this crisis.But as Queen Daenerys's important ministers continue to squeeze the war potential of Meereen, Yunkai and New Ghis, they are forced to take out their old bosses to fight this battle. They have actually seen the hope of victory.

Under the condition that the people of Westeros will leave Slaver's Bay in two years, the real purpose of the three cities of Meereen has changed from preventing the horse king Drogo from destroying Slaver's Bay to taking over the entire Lazarin after the people of Westeros leave , thus restoring the glory of the ancient Ghis empire. "

After the three Ghis messengers visited Celia, Daeron and Dorian respectively, they came to Ian's study to complain to him again.

"Earl Darry, I'm sorry to disturb you again, but the conditions put forward by Queen Daenerys' three important ministers are really too harsh. We haven't seen the Queen herself yet, and their demands have already exceeded ours. Tolerable range." It was still Reg who spoke on behalf of the envoys, with a helpless expression on his face.

"The conditions are too harsh? Do you remember the conditions?" Although Ian watched the three tortures of the Ghis messengers through the eyes of the Falcon, he still pretended to be stupid.

"Of course, my lord, we made a list for it." Reg said and took out a thick parchment.

"Show me," Ian took the list from Reg and read it one by one, "First of all, Celia's request:

First, all the food and supplies of Her Majesty's army after crossing the Skahazaban River must be provided by Yunkai and Meereen. Ian raised his head and looked at Meereen envoy Mazdahan, "Is this reasonable?"It is impossible for us to mobilize food and grass from Astapor after entering Lazarin. "

"Yes, this one is reasonable." Mazdahan nodded and expressed no objection, "The unreasonable ones come later."

"Second, Her Majesty the Queen will increase the import of food and the following basic materials to Meereen and Yunkai in the next two years. The relevant resources of the two cities should be given priority to Her Majesty, and their prices and taxes should be the same as those of the Queen's Chancellor of the Exchequer. Agreed." Ian said as he glanced down at Celia's list of resources and suggested prices.
