Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 303 Long Live the Emperor
The afterglow of the setting sun makes the dead shrubs on the top of the mountain red like fire, and the branches of the dead trees cast swaying shadows in the evening wind.Ian looked up, and the Gobi, which was full of desolation and despair, had been shrouded in a faint red glow, showing an indescribable poignancy.

The chaotic battlefield has begun to restore order one after another. The Dothraki who died in the battle and ran out of ammunition cut off their whips in groups, and then handed over their braids, bows and arrows and arakhs to the victors to express their surrender.

So far, Khal Drogo, the largest Kalashar on the Dothraki Sea, except Jakoko, who was deployed by Drogo on the right wing and has not officially participated in the battle. Maybe it should be called Khal Jakoko now. After finding out that the situation is too bad, he took people to escape, and the rest have been almost wiped out.

Of course, Jaco couldn't run far—he had been under the watchful eye of Ian Falcon. Ian had already spared the two mercenary groups Stormcrows and Second Sons to wait behind the Dothraki.

After an afternoon of exposure to the sun, the entire valley outside the Kaiser Pass exuded a disgusting stench of corpses. With the departure of the black dragon Ian, those vultures and crows returned to the battlefield in groups, scrambling for the corpses all over the ground while making creepy screams.

The most pitiful are those dying people who still have a sliver of will. They can only watch their bodies being pecked by those wild birds, or try to drive them away with their last strength.

The battlefield cleaning and statistics work was carried out in an orderly manner. According to Ian's order, the first thing they needed to do was to collect the corpses, separate the wounded, and burn all the corpses.As for the statistics of captured horses and prisoners, they were temporarily put on hold.

Ian is worried about the plague.

In fact, several suspected cases of 'blood plague' were discovered in Ian's army long before the battle. This is an infectious disease that spreads easily and quickly. Its symptoms include high fever, intestinal bleeding, diarrhea, etc. Its mortality rate is very high. It is rumored that the chance of surviving the infected person is only [-]/[-].

For this notorious infectious disease, people in this era have no effective treatment methods, so Ian used the simplest and most effective preventive method at that time-isolation to deal with this problem.

But now, the chances of the outbreak of the blood plague have undoubtedly increased significantly.

The army in his hands had just gone through a major battle, with many wounded, and the east side of the Kaiser Pass lacked water. Whether Ian chose to go east to Hersey or cross the entire mountain road back to the river on the west side of the Kaiser Pass, it would take nearly a week.

For this situation, Ian has already made some plans in advance.

In addition to ordering all the corpses to be immediately collected and burned... Ah bah, besides the cremation, Ian also ordered to separate all the seriously wounded from the team.Of course, the seriously wounded among the Dothraki captives were directly executed and burned together with their bodies, while the seriously wounded on their own side were handed over to the nearby Lazarin mountain clan to take them back to the village to recuperate.

The others, according to their elite level, evacuated to the Lazar city of Hessi and the west side of the Kaiser Mountain Pass respectively. The Unsullied and the New Ghis were the first to leave, and the Astapor slave Iron Legion and mercenaries would evacuate in the second batch with the captives after the battlefield was cleaned. As for the other auxiliary slave soldiers and Lazarines, they were ranked last.

Compared with letting the entire army fall into the plague, this choice made Ian tilt the risk of bearing the plague to an army that would not cause too much loss even if it fell into the plague.

Time passed quickly, and night fell as the last breath of light faded between the Ghiscarli Mountains and the sky.

In the eyes of the Dothraki, the stars are a group of steeds that are made of fire and run in the night sky with great momentum, and those brave warriors who died in battle rode these steeds into the kingdom of night.

If the Dothraki legends were true, it would be a starry night.

Unfortunately, I don't know if it was due to the approaching rainstorm, but the thick clouds covered the sky, making Ian miss this moment when he might witness the miracle.

Withdrawing his gaze, Ian walked into the tent of the Chinese army, and he was greeted by wild cheers.

Ian knew why they were fanatical, whether it was for the Ghis or the Lazarin, this was the first time in thousands of years that they had truly defeated the Dothraki, as if they were freed from some kind of nightmare that had plagued them for generations.

Ian walked to a place, and the general here immediately knelt down.

"Lord Earl." Although they still called my lord, their actions were more like meeting the king.

"Lord Commander-in-Chief."

"Master." Although people called Ian differently, they all knelt down and saluted without exception.

Wherever Ian went, he knelt together.

Daenerys followed behind Ian, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart. Although these people usually saluted and called themselves 'Your Majesty' when they saw her, they were not as sincere as they were in front of Ian at this moment.

This is real surrender, completely different from their perfunctory self, Daenerys's intuition has always been keen, she can feel all of this, and what she feels at the same time...is the looming hostility from some of them.

Those were all Ghis people, all the great nobles of Ghis. Daenerys looked at them, and they immediately lowered their heads or turned to the side.

Daenerys, who has been with Ian for so long and has the experience of ruling Astapor independently for a period of time, is no longer the cowardly little girl she was in Pentos back then.She knew that Ian was creating an empire, and for these Guis nobles, they needed to let Ian have an heir of Guis blood.

From this point of view, I am their enemy.

Thinking of this, Daenerys was no longer one step behind Ian, but directly stepped forward to walk alongside him, and then took the initiative to hold Ian's hand.

Ian didn't refuse, which made Daenerys happy, and looked down at the kneeling Ghis nobles with contempt.

Before that, she had actually been worried that Ian had changed his mind. After all, almost all of his important ministers were Ghistians, and Viserys often told her that marriage was the most important way to consolidate power.

Of course Ian knew what Daenerys was thinking, but he didn't take it to heart.

It's not that he fell into any kind of love brain, and would rather sacrifice his interests to insist on marrying Daenerys, but in his opinion, Daenerys is still the most suitable spouse for him.

Aside from the two advantages that she was raised by herself, the possibility of other players being excluded, and the ability to hatch dragons, Daenerys does not belong to any nation on the Slave Bay side, and her natal family has no influence. In fact, it has become an advantage now. Ian's dynasty does not need foreign relatives.

Soon, Ian led Daenerys to the main seat.

Standing closest to this position is the new Ghis commander Erez zo Emder. With his position as the commander of the left army, he took credit for this battle after the commander-in-chief Ian.And in this big tent where the celebration banquet was held, only their New Ghis identities were—the allies.

Many people's eyes fell on Erez. What kind of attitude he will face Ian is actually the biggest suspense tonight.

Grazdan zo Eraz, the wise lord of Yunkai who was kneeling beside Eres zo Emud, lightly bumped his calf with his elbow, signaling him to stop being dazed and follow the plan.

Seeing this, Eres immediately stopped hesitating and knelt down. This kneeling seemed to represent the surrender of Xin Guisi.

"Your Majesty." Eres blurted out the title even more shockingly.

Some people subconsciously thought he was talking to Daenerys next to Ian, but instinctively felt that it was unreasonable for the New Ghis to abandon Ian to salute a puppet queen.

But the reaction of those Inner Party members who had been informed of Ian's plan in advance was quite the opposite.

Fermor zo Nakroz stood up before everyone could react: "Lord Ian Darry is the reincarnation of the 'great' Grazdan! He has done things that no one else can do! He is leading us back to glory! He has restored the glory of the ancient empire!"

"The harpies have chosen him!" This time it was Urthan zo Marek of Meereen. "I have never seen a greater leader!"

"He shall be Emperor of the Ghisians!" cried Grazdan zo Eraz of Yunkai'i, rising to his feet, frantically.

"Emperor Gith!" A large crowd echoed.

"And the Lazarin! It was the great Ian who saved us! Saved us from the Dothraki nightmare!" Prince Hussey stood up and echoed, "He should be the emperor of Lazarin!"

"He should also rule the Dothraki Sea! He defeated the most powerful Khal Drogo, and killed him with his own hands! He is the khal of khal, the sky khal of the sea grass!" This time it was the 'sensible' Dothraki captive, "We are willing to surrender to the strong!"

"Astapor surrenders to you, the Unsullied and the Iron Slave Legion will open the way to the future for you!" Fermor knelt down again.

"Yunkai surrenders to you and dedicates all our wealth to you. May you lead us to rebuild the glory of the empire." This time it was Grazdan zo Eraz and Yunkai Grand Marshal 'General Ass Shake' in unison.

"Meereen. New Ghis. Hexi Lazashi. Dothraki Sea."

"World Conqueror!"

Just like a rehearsal, the representatives of each region spoke in turn, and then knelt down and surrendered again. Then the generals took the oath of allegiance.

Until the end all the words converged into a unison cry of 'Long Live the Emperor'.
