Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 266 The Humiliated Upstart

Ian's central army arrived at Yunkai's city three full days later than the vanguard scouts.

It took him about 480 days to travel 15 leagues (32km), and he walked an average of [-] kilometers per day. This was still the case when he was walking along the Guggiskali Coastal Road and the road was unimpeded.

Since the connection between Ian and NPC Koulu had been disconnected anyway, he simply transformed his falcon again, observing his army along the way.

This was Ian's first real command of a large corps, even if it was just a march, it was a valuable experience for him.

He observed the infantry, the cavalry, and the baggage soldiers...observed their speed at different time periods, and observed their fatigue levels when they traveled different distances every day...He used this to summarize the rules of regular marches and think about whether there was room for improvement in the march plan.

He also observed the scouts who were ahead of the army, observed their scouting methods and the time of team change, and thought about whether there were any loopholes in the arrangement and whether there was a better plan.

At the same time, he will also observe the camping situation of the army in the evening, and think about how to launch an attack if he is an enemy from an opposing perspective.

At this time, the advantages of being a skinchanger are perfectly reflected. Entering Falcon is like gaining the perspective of God, making it easier for Ian to control the overall situation.

At the same time, for many basic issues, he often called Unsullied instructors, mercenary captains and guides together to discuss and ask for their experience.

After walking all the way in this way, about three kilometers south of Yunkai City, Ian met his old friend Grazdan Mo Eraz.

"Welcome, Earl Ian Darry." Grazdan Mo Eraz came to Ian on a white steed. As usual, he was wearing a toka with golden tassels robe.

"This is Grazdor zo Ark," he said, introducing another wise lord beside him in a golden fringed tokar robe to Ian, "the general of Yunkai."

Just hearing the name, Ian didn't have any impression, but when Grazdan mentioned that this is Yunkai's general, Ian began to think of this person. He seemed to be ridiculed by the mercenaries in the original book as "shaking his ass" General'.

Uh. Although the title is not very nice, but this person is indeed the top figure in the ranks of General Yunkai.In the original book, after the death of Grand Marshal Yakhaz zo Yazak, this person and two other nobles of Yunkai began to take the position of Grand Marshal.

When the Generalissimo was so old that he could barely walk, Yunkai sent this man three kilometers out of the city to meet him, which was considered a great deal of face for Ian.

Grazdo didn't say much, but nodded to Ian lukewarmly as a greeting.

Obviously, the proud Guise nobles didn't think much of this barbarian who had become an ally, but due to the situation, they had to condescend to go out of the city to meet him.

"Thank you, my old friend, Grazdan zo Eraz." Ian didn't even nod his head at General Shaking Butt, and just ignored him, looking at Grazdan.

As soon as Ian finished speaking, the atmosphere became subtle in an instant.

Grazdan's face darkened slightly, but he didn't know what to do, so he froze in place.

Ian, on the other hand, just looked blankly at this change in Grazdan, as if he didn't know what went wrong.

"Pfft ha ha ha." The first to break the silence was the laughter of General Grazdo zo Ark.

The laughter cut Grazdan's face like a knife, making him almost gnash his teeth.

"I don't understand. What is he laughing at?" Ian was even more confused, and asked Grazdan.

"He's not of the noble blood of Gujis! He's just an upstart!" Grazdo zo Ark mocked Grazdan without hesitation, and then continued to laugh as if he couldn't control it.

Ian noticed that when he laughed he was actually shaking his ass in a very weird way.

Grazdan clenched his fists immediately. As a second-class nobleman and upstart, he had suffered far more humiliation before he made his fortune. However, since he hung golden tassels on his toka robe, it is still better to be publicly ridiculed like this. first.

Grazdan took a deep breath, but forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

"You remember incorrectly, Earl Darry, my middle surname is Mo." Grazdan resumed his usual smile.

"How is this possible?" Ian was quite shocked. He counted the names of the original messengers on the spot, "Reger zo Emud, Mazdahan zo Lorak, Grazdan "Zo" Ian said and stopped suddenly. He looked up at Grazdan, "You are a second-class nobleman? Shouldn't you? You are clearly wearing golden tassels."

"Hahaha!" General Grazdo zo Ark suddenly laughed more cheerfully.

If Ian's status was not high enough and he had no motivation to do such boring things, Grazdan would almost think that Ian was deliberately mocking himself, but Ian then said something that made Grazdan more If you feel sad.

"It doesn't matter if you are a second-class noble," Ian said with a smile, "Fermor and Lexix are also second-class nobles, but they joined our coalition as generals this time. After the war is won, their exploits will be enough Let them be promoted to the ranks of high nobles, just like the generals of the ancient Ghis Empire."

"And you," Ian continued, "you are my friend, and I will look for opportunities for you to gain military exploits enough to be promoted."

War promotion!That's right, for thousands of years, no second-class nobleman has been promoted in Slaver's Bay, because there has been no war here for thousands of years.

But this time, whether it was the decisive battle against the Centaurs or the conquest of Lazarin, the feats that can be obtained here are no less than those made by the promoted ancient Ghis generals.

Ian, as one of the five commanders in this war (even because Astapor and him advance and retreat in the same way, he is still the commander with the most weight, if he is really willing to help him get some military exploits, then It can be said to be effortless.

But Grazdan glanced at Grazdo zo Arke beside him, and his heart sank.

I am not in the command group of Yunkai at all. As a political ally of the richest man in Yunkai, Yazan zo Quagz, I have never dealt with the faction of the generalissimo.

If the Grand Marshal learned of Ian's promise to him at this moment through Grazdo zo Ark, he would do everything possible to prevent him from entering the Yunkai army, and if he couldn't even enter the army, he would be Harpy The demon came to the world, and there was no way to force this feat to himself.
"Count." Grazdan neither agreed nor refused. He looked into the distance and changed the subject, "Yunkai is here."

Ian looked up and looked in the direction of Grazdan's finger, and a huge Harpy statue appeared in his field of vision.

The sculpture is similar to the harpies of Astapor, with the body of a woman, the wings of a bat, the legs of an eagle, and the tail of a scorpion, the only thing that differs is what they hold in their claws.

Astapor is a pair of open manacles, and Yunkai is a whip and a chain.
