Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 275 The Prologue of the Counterattack

"Suppose you came to me today to discuss how to get you into the army for military merit, what will you do after you go back?"

"Try to form a mercenary group?" Grazdan suddenly remembered Ian's suggestion at the beginning, "Then I can rely on the name of commanding this mercenary to join your army and gain military exploits."

"Yes, after returning to Yunkai, you will do this publicly for this reason, because your motive for doing so is open, so they will not doubt that you have learned the truth from me."

"So you've been there a long time ago?" Grazdan realized now that Ian had already thought of this step when he first interviewed him.

"And shall I rely on this mercenary to force open the gates of Yunkai for you?" he asked hastily.

"No, although your act of recruiting mercenaries will not make them realize that you have discovered the truth, but because of your status as a 'bait', they will definitely focus on embanking your mercenaries, and it is absolutely impossible for you to find any A chance to break through Yunkai's inner defenses."

"Then what's the point of me forming this mercenary?"

"The point is to let them focus on you and your mercenaries."

Yunkai Sweet Home Inn
"Are you still free to read at this time?" Daznak walked into Georis' room and poured himself a glass of amber wine from Volantis.

"This wine is good." Daznak raised his glass lightly.

"Many people call the wine of Volantis horse urine, and I thought it was for a while," Georis closed the book in his hand and looked up, "Until I tasted the wine from your Slaver's Bay, I suddenly Find out," he poured himself a glass too, "that this stuff isn't that bad after all."

"Speaking of which, is it really okay for you to come to Yunkai like this without staying in Meereen?" Georis continued to ask.

"My NPC and my eagle are watching over Meereen, and the real confrontation will not happen in Meereen, so I came to Yunkai early."

"Are you still worried about this side?"

"We are dealing with the strongest alliance of players known so far. Although Ian's army has fallen into our trap, what about the red-robed woman? Will she leave any behind?
And that Darren Grafson who stayed in Astapor, he has no news at all now, what is he doing behind the scenes?These are just the three known players in this league. Is there a fourth player for them?So I must come to Yunkai for myself and judge whether to carry out this plan. "

"Hey, we've already made preparations to this point. Could it be that you haven't made up your mind yet?" Georis' tone suddenly became dissatisfied.

"Even if we wipe out Ian and his elite this time, at most we can only compress the power of their alliance back to the same level as ours. In this war, we are just the ones who make the most of the final interests. It can't fall on our heads." Daznak shook his head, "If there are signs of unfavorable conditions."

"Be more resourceful than decisive, you can't do big things."

"Hehe," Daznak sneered twice, "Your base is in Volantis, even if our plan fails, you won't have any losses, maybe you can still make money from slaves and food." One stroke, my base is in Meereen, if this plan fails, not only will I have nothing, but Ian will hunt me down to the ends of the earth.”

"You can come to Volantis and help me, and together we can make Volantis great again." Georis joked.

"In contrast, I am more inclined to make Meereen great again." Daznak spread his hands.

Then both of them laughed tacitly.

"Relax, buddy," Georis stood up, "At this point, Ian is actually in a desperate situation. He can't solve the food problem. Even if he knows our trap, he has to step in."

"I just got a new message," Daznak said without continuing the topic, "Grazdan stayed in Ian's camp until late last night before returning to the city, and this morning the sky just broke , he successively met with the two mercenary captains, Mero, the bastard son of the Titan, and Puranda Na Jisen of the Stormcrows."

"Melo reported to me as soon as he met Grazdan. He had already been bought by me. Melo said that Grazdan came to him to form a mercenary group. Grazdan wanted to He helped provide some contacts."

"Melo is reporting to you?" Daznak's face froze. "Didn't I tell you not to contact anyone in Yunkai in person? That Ian who dared to call himself a dragon caller must not be a skinchanger." Low."

"It's just one of my captains who came into contact with Melo. On the surface, that captain has nothing to do with me." Georis argued.

"Isn't it the captain who bought more food from Graz?"

"Of course not. It's a Qarth-registered ship under my command. It has nothing to do with the Chamber of Commerce that buys grain."

"Huh," Daznak breathed a sigh of relief, "By the way, you just said that Grazdan was going to form a mercenary group?" He frowned slightly.

"Yes, it is said that Ian Darry gave him an idea, let him build a mercenary army, and then command these mercenaries to cooperate with Ian's army. In the end, Ian will try to get as many as possible Put it on his head." Georis paused, as if remembering that the other party had only arrived in Yunkai today, so he explained,

"Yesterday morning, when Grazdan and Grazdo went out of the city to meet Ian, Ian drew a big cake for Grazdan, saying that he could help him get enough military exploits to change the middle name of the Eraz family, and then at night Grazdan Dan couldn't wait to find Ian."

"So they didn't find out about our plan at all?"

"It looks like this. Ian's spies went to the port of Yunkai yesterday to investigate the transaction between my captain and General Grazdo, and they withdrew after confirming that the transaction was true. Obviously, Ian En used the shape-changing ability to follow Grazdo, and after discovering the transaction, he sent someone to verify it. Everything is as you expected."

"Then what? Didn't the Generalissimo reveal any flaws?"

"Well, the only two people in Yunkai who know about this plan are the Generalissimo and Rabbit, and I made it very clear to them that Ian has the witchcraft of manipulating animals, so they won't talk nonsense." Georis said in his tone Pretty sure.

"But... I still feel that Ian has ulterior motives in letting Grazdan form a mercenary group at this time." Daznak thought for a while and said, "It's a very uneasy feeling."

"Are you a Green Prophet?"

"Impossible? The Green Prophet needs skinchangers to reach the master level before they can learn." Daznak rolled his eyes, "Where can I get so many resources?"

"Then your feeling is not a warning." Georis shrugged, "I still think it is enough to monitor Grazdan normally, and too many movements will easily arouse the enemy. Especially, if your feeling is right, Ian already has If you doubt it, Grazdan's formation of the mercenary group may be his temptation."

"You are right this time," Daznak nodded, and said after thinking for a while, "Like this, let him form it, and at the same time arrange some mercenaries you brought from other places to sign up with Grazdan. Finally... I'll keep an eye on Grazdan myself."

"Do you have that many birds?"

"One in Meereen, one in Ian's barracks, and one here in Grazdan, so this is my limit for the time being, eh?" Daznak suddenly paused, "How did Grazdor get to Ian? In the barracks?"

"Are you sure it's Grazdo? Not Grazdan?"

"It's the one that shakes its butt when it walks." Daznak confirmed to him.

"He should be dealing with the issue of supplying food to Ian's army. Our original plan was to let the rabbit ask him about his reselling food yesterday, but something happened yesterday.
Glazdow made up a story about Ian insulting the generalissimo, and the generalissimo left the scene in anger, and he escaped.Then Rabbit and the others thought that it would not be too late to dismantle Grazdo when Ian and the others formally asked for food, which seemed more natural to Ian. "

"But the problem is, since Grazdo doesn't have any food in his hand, how dare he go to Ian's place?"

"I don't know about that." Georis frowned, because he was worried that Ian's birds or spies would find out that he was related to the wise lords of Yunkai, so Georis could only go through several procedures to communicate with the rabbit. The general and the others were unable to control many things in fact, such as the details of General Rabbit's operation on the issue of Grazdo.

"Or," said Georis, "you'll get down and come closer and hear what they're saying?"

"You want to gain a mentally handicapped ally that much?" Daznak rolled his eyes, "Then there's a big dragon sticking around, I'm afraid I won't be found by flying over?"

"Then we are now?"

"Let's talk about it when Grazdo comes back. I hope he can find out how much food Ian has left."

Camp outside the city
"Earl Darry, please help me." General Grazdo zo Arke just walked into Ian's military tent, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, "The man who suddenly appeared in my room last night You gave me that letter, right? You said you were willing to save me?"

"Get up and talk, General," Ian stepped forward to help General Shake his butt up, "You are not my slave, how can you kneel like this?"

General Butt Shake's face became even uglier for a moment, but he could only stand up tremblingly, and then forced a smile.

"My lord, about the thing you said could save me."

"Save you? You've ruined my business, General Grazdo," Ian said suddenly, "Do you know how many times your actions have delayed my military plane? If you belonged to me, I'd kill you right now." you!"

Before he could stand still, General Shaking Butt was suddenly scolded by Ian. He was frightened and knelt down again in an instant, slumping to the ground.

"My lord," General Shaking Butt stammered, "Ke Ke, that's not what you said in your letter. You said that you were willing to save me."

"Yes, I said so."

In the eyes of the butt shake general, this young man who is not as old as his own son is a perfect interpretation of what it means to turn your face faster than a book. One second, he is still a pair of knives that will cut you on the neck the next second. The angry face turned into a nonchalant smiling face at this moment.

"Do you know why?" Ian asked
"No, I don't know."

"Because after my investigation, I found out that this matter is not your fault."

"Ah, no. Ah, ah?" General Shake Butt felt that he hadn't realized it at all. He resold Yunkai's grain stockpiles privately and made it impossible to provide supplies to Ian's army. How could it not be his fault?
"Before I tell you everything, let me ask you a few questions," Ian smiled. "First, do you have any conflicts with General Fazaha zo Faza (rabbit)?"

"What does that have to do with this matter?"

"If you want me to save you, first you have to trust me and tell me everything, otherwise, even if I save you this time, it's hard to keep you from being tricked again."

"No, you. What do you mean?" General Ass Shake's eyes widened suddenly, "that bastard Fazaha has something to do with this matter?"

"Now you are begging me for help, so... put your position first, okay?"

"Yes, yes, it's my lord," General Shaking Butt nodded hastily, "Fazhata, he and I do have deep conflicts, because we are both candidates for the next Grand Marshal. And between us The time has been evenly matched, so we've been competing most of our lives."

Can you be on par with him at your level?Ian was skeptical.

Although Ian has never been in contact with Fazaha, just because that guy is the only collaborator selected by the players of Volantis among the sages below the Grand Marshal of Yunkai, it can be imagined that he has nothing to say. Two brushes.

"Hey," General Butt Shake seemed to see Ian's suspicion, so he added, "His ability is much stronger than mine, but the power of the Faza family is much lower than that of our Arke family. Family, therefore, until that incident, my odds of winning have always been higher than Fazaha."

"What's the matter?"

"Another mistake I made," Grazdo shook his butt unnaturally, lowered his head and said, "That's when I offended the Generalissimo, so the Generalissimo has been looking for opportunities to deal with me."

"So." General Ass Shake hugged Ian's leg again, "You must save me, if what I did this time is exposed, the Generalissimo will be able to bypass the sage in accordance with the law of wartime Parliament condemns me to death!"

"From what you said, it sounds like if the Generalissimo passes the procedure of the Council of the Sage Lords, he won't be able to kill you?"

"That's right, in the Council of the Sage Lords, apart from our Ark family and our allies, Lord Yazan, who has always been at odds with the Generalissimo, they will definitely vote against it! It has always been before, what does the Generalissimo support, Lord Yazan He and his cronies objected to nothing, so the Generalissimo tried to try me twice, but failed."

Then how dare you commit crimes against the wind?Ian didn't know what to say.

This kind of greedy and stupid thing has become the most favorable candidate for the next Generalissimo. Well, the current Generalissimo may not be much better than him. I can only say that Slave Bay only looks at bloodlines and not abilities. Cities are really lucky, but if a conqueror came, they would have sent it long ago.
