Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 290 New Alliance

"Give us a second choice?" The prince of Hessi, the city of Raza, looked at Ian suspiciously. He was the representative of Hessi's mission visiting Meereen this time.

"Your cities will be able to join the Ghis Alliance as subjects of the same level as Meereen, Yunkai, and Astapor and become part of the alliance, while other clans and tribes will also join this alliance as small subjects.

After joining the alliance, all of you here will obtain the status of nobles of the new alliance. According to the troops, population and land you provide to the alliance, some of you will obtain the status of high nobles and have the right to join the ruling council of the alliance.

Your people will all be freedmen of the Alliance, with the same rights as the freedmen of Meereen, Yunkai, and Astapor. "Ian, who was surrounded by a group of envoys, gave his new conditions.

Allowing a large number of 'goatmen' to obtain the status of free citizens of the Alliance means losing a large number of people who should have been enslaved after the war. This condition is the same as Ian's original promise to Meereen, Yunkai and New Ghis. contradictory.

The reason why Ian demanded unconditional surrender from the plainsmen of Lazarin at the beginning was also because he needed to take care of the interests of the allies of Ghis.

After all, at the very beginning, Meereen, Yunkai, and New Ghis were willing to join Ian's alliance. Apart from the fear of the horse king Drogo, a large part of the reason was that Ian had promised them that the entire Raza region would be All of the population of more than 300 million became slaves of the Giss.

But now Meereen, Yunkai, and Ian are no longer "allies". The only new Ghis not controlled by Ian is far away on the other side of the Bay of Sorrows.

Now that Ian has gained [-]% freedom in dealing with the issues of the Lazar area and the Lazarin people, then Ian can naturally choose to solve the problem in the way that receives the least rejection.

Another reason for Ian to make this decision is that the power in his hands is basically composed of Ghis people, which makes Ian have to consider the traditions and overall interests of the Ghis people more when doing anything. .

For example, helping Celia complete missionary tasks. According to the alliance function of the system, all the points obtained by Celia completing tasks can be transferred to Ian himself. Therefore, Ian has long wanted to help Celia in slavery. Wan spread the belief of the Red God with Ian's characteristics.

But suffering from the fact that his entire base is all Ghis people, and the Ghis people all believe in the harpies, which made Ian unable to make this decision for a long time.

Introducing a large number of weaker Lazarin population into your own rule, and reusing a group of goatmen into your ruling parliament, can dilute the shares of the Ghis people in your future empire and increase your own chairmanship. The right to speak.

"I have a question." After many envoys considered it, the envoy from the southern city of Lazhaxi was the first to speak. "Are all Lazarin people eligible to join the alliance?"

"Of course not," that would damage the interests of the nobles of Guise, but mine. "I only give you this condition. All the tribes that did not send envoys to join the alliance this time will be punished in the future." We conquer and become slaves."

Fortunately, they came. Several Lazarin envoys who did not come to surrender but just came to see the situation secretly rejoiced.

If it was the condition of surrender and slavery proposed by Ian before, they still plan to wait and see for a while whether to accept it, but the condition of joining the alliance as a nobleman is nothing to wait and see.

"As far as I know, the 'Ghis Alliance' you mentioned is just a temporary military alliance formed to fight against the centaur invasion." Prince Hussey asked another question, "But what you just described seems to be It's describing a country."

"It used to be, but now, I can at least make sure that Astapor, Yunkai, and Meereen agree to keep this alliance after the war and let it exist as a political entity." Ian looked around the messenger, "Now, I sincerely invite you to join us. We will unite as we did thousands of years ago to restore the territory of the ancient empire. Dothraki and Qarth will never enter the Lazar region to hunt slaves again. As noble alliance nobles , will be protected by me."

However, thousands of years ago, the Lazarin people existed as slaves of the Giss, and Prince Hessy slandered in his heart, but his answer was very honest: "We will join your military alliance and provide you with a legion to formally join the alliance. I need to ask my father the question. However, I believe that he will not refuse your generosity, and I assure you, I will definitely convince my father."

Become a high-ranking nobleman of Guise, have the right to enter the ruling council, and be protected by the alliance. With such conditions, it is hard to say whether there is such a shop in this village.

During the time he stayed in Meereen, Prince Hussey had already seen what Ian's army was like. He was sure that as long as Ian thought about it, he would be able to sweep the entire Lazar within half a year and wipe out all the goatmen. All captured as slaves.

If you join earlier now and become an alliance noble, maybe those slaves will still have a share of Hersey by then.

"Lazashi will fulfill our military obligations, and we will earnestly report your proposal to the Council of Elders. Like Prince Hersey, I believe the Council of Elders will not reject your generosity." Razhashi's emissary was also very pleased Quickly expressed his attitude.

Lazhaxi is located in the south of the Lazha area, away from the harassment of the Ma people, and has a large area of ​​fertile land. It is the most populous city in the entire Lazha area, with a population of more than 8, and nearly 20 people live in the surrounding area.

In fact, like many Plainsmen tribes, they just came to wait and see this time, but the conditions given by Ian were too generous, and they were allowed to have the same status as Meereen, Yunkai and other cities, which made them really helpless. reject.

"I'm worried that our people may not be interested in this." But then, a discordant voice sounded from the mouth of the Kosrak envoy.

Kosrak is located in the southeast of the Raza region, close to the mountains and the red wasteland. The population of the city and the surrounding population are less than half of that of Razaxi, but it is the most powerful city in the entire Raza region.

They are a mixture of goatmen and many red wasteland peoples. They are the only city in the Lazar area that has a standing army and cavalry, and they often fight the bandits of the red wasteland and the ogres from Adaka Kiraki.In the arenas of Meereen, the mightiest Lazarene slave warriors are usually those of Korthrak.

But this level of strength cannot become the capital for you to blatantly contradict me, Ian narrowed his eyes.

The original Bethrakik mission arrived in Meereen last, which made Ian very dissatisfied that the banquet was postponed until today. I didn't expect you to go further?

"So you chose option one, just to join the military alliance this time?" Ian asked with a smile as if he didn't notice the arrogant tone of the Kosrak messenger, "That's fine, as long as you provide more than 5000 people If your army joins us, I can promise that the Ghis Alliance will never attack Kosrak in the future according to the plan, and our slave hunting team will not enter your territory for action."

"We don't have so many soldiers to offer you, my lord. We can accept up to 500 soldiers."

"It sounds disingenuous."

"We can't gamble with the fate of the city, my lord, I hope you can forgive us." The messenger of Kosrak bowed and lowered his stance.

"If every tribe has the same thoughts as you, there is no need for the alliance to exist. I don't need 500 of you," Ian shook his head, and directly rejected the messenger of Kosrak, "Go back, and those The tribes that have not sent emissaries pray together that the Dothraki will destroy our army. Otherwise you will know that you are not only betting, but placing your bet on the wrong side."

"Are you threatening me?" the messenger of Kosraki was furious. "The Dothraki did not make us submit, the ogres of Adaka Kiraki did not make us submit, and the storms of the Red Wasteland did not make us submit."

"So what about you? What is your choice?" Ian didn't wait for the Kosrak messenger to finish speaking, and ignored him, looking at the others.

The messenger of Kosrak wanted to say something, but he was caught by two Unsullied men beside Ian and thrown out of the hall.

One of the three major cities rejected the proposal, which was a bad example, but Ian's tough response quickly deterred other small-minded envoys.

Soon, almost all the envoys who arrived in Meereen accepted Ian's conditions.

Different from the two cities of Hexi and Lazasi who only joined the military alliance, formally joining the alliance needs to ask for instructions. The 16 mountain clans and 14 plain tribes directly accepted the conditions of joining the alliance and swore an oath to Ian on the spot allegiance.

After the swearing-in ceremony, Ian harvested a total of 6500 mountain people and 12000 plain people.

Considering that even if these people set off now, it will be one to two months before they arrive in Meereen. Khal Drogo might have already arrived in Meereen by then, so Ian chose to let them They went to Hexi, a city of Raza, to assemble, and at the same time sent instructors and military officers to Hexi.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Ian's mind.

[Complete the main task 100 'acquire [-] soldiers whose system quality evaluation exceeds B-level', get [-] points]

Points are updated to
[Ian:
Points: 506]

Thirty thousand B-rank soldiers?It was only then that Ian remembered that there was such a sub-quest in the third main mission. The mission of obtaining [-] B-level soldiers was completed when all the unsullied people who had reached the age of training were incorporated into the regular army.

But now the number exceeds 1. Ian thought about it, the 2000 Unsullied in his hands must be more than B-level, and then the [-] cavalry of the Imperial Guard who have already followed him.

The 1000 Dothraki slave cavalry who are still waiting for equipment in Astapor should also meet the standard, and then the first and second legions of the new Gistiron Legion. These two are veterans of the standing army, a total of 6000 thousand people.

As for the quality of other troops, the quality varies greatly, and Ian can't judge that the quality of those people exceeds the B-level judged by the system based on the number.

But in any case, since I completed this task today because I received the command of these troops provided by the Lazarin, it means that the overall quality of my other troops is really not good.

In addition, only the task of 'obtaining 30 B-level soldiers' was judged to be completed. Neither the rule of the population of more than [-] in the main mission nor the capture of Meereen in the third bounty mission were judged to be completed. In the system, a clear declaration must be made to truly rule.

In other words, Ian must be officially crowned King of Meereen in order to complete the task of occupying Meereen.

To complete the task of ruling the population, one needs to be formally appointed as the highest consul of the Guiss Alliance or be crowned the Emperor of Guiss.

Of course, Ian is not in a hurry for this question.

Let's wait until the horse king is finished.

After checking the system information, the whole banquet was basically coming to an end.

Just when Ian was about to go to the area where the nobles of Meereen lived to find out about their situation, a spy who was arranged to eavesdrop on everyone's conversations at the banquet (the waiters in the entire banquet hall were all Ian's spies) secretly Came to Ian and reported a very exciting news to him.

The great lord of House Marek of Meereen is going to help his granddaughter Enz zo Marek propose marriage to Ian later.

After receiving the news, Ian gave up his plan to go to the nobles of Meereen, pretended to drink too much, and left the venue early, without giving Lord Marek a chance to speak.

After all, if this matter is really brought up, it will be a trouble for Ian no matter what.

Accept it, firstly, you have broken your previous promise to Daenerys, and secondly, a small family of Great Lord Meereen is really unworthy to marry you
Even if he really wants to get married, the other party must be the daughter of the Sea King of Braavos or the princess of the Emperor Yidi, right?
It's really not possible, if the former Prince Hazan really has a younger sister, it's not impossible to consider it.After all, the richest keeper of the Iron Bank is really rich.

But Lord Meereen?
What it is?
But it's not easy to refuse, because refusing is tantamount to publicly saying that you are not worthy.

It is easy to reject a Marek, but once this precedent is set by him.

Then the Ghis nobles who requested marriage will follow one after another.

What will Ian do then?
Ian is very clear that now that he has become the de facto supreme leader of the Gis people, he does not know how many nobles of Gis are thinking of having a few sons of Gis blood.People like Femor of Astapor and Grazdan of Yunkai, who have sworn allegiance to themselves and become their important ministers, may have this idea.

If they also propose marriage to him, will he reject them all?

What do the Ghisians think of this?
If all these high-ranking, noble-blooded noble families of Gis are not worthy of marrying Ian, then does Ian not take us Gis people seriously?Did he not treat us as his own?

This is very dangerous.

So Ian decided to hold off for the time being, and after defeating the horse king Drogo, he pulled his reputation to the peak, and at the same time brought the defeated Dothraki and Lazarin into his empire, and then discussed his marriage. You can regain the initiative.
