Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 304
With the first light of morning, Ian woke up early in the camp tent. Although he didn't sleep until late last night, he was still full of energy.

In fact, since his mental strength exceeded 40, Ian no longer needed much sleep, and when his main body was resting, even if he continued to manipulate other bodies to continue activities, he would not feel tired at all.

For example, last night, he had been observing the progress of another battle.

According to Ian's vision obtained with the falcon, Jaco Kao, who escaped from the battlefield last night, took his 5000 roaring warriors and fled eastward non-stop, until he fled to a small river 8 miles away from the battlefield before stopping to rest. It was already past three o'clock in the morning.

Ian, who predicted Jaco's escape route through aerial vision, let the Second Sons and Stormcrows, who had already circled behind the enemy, arrive at the predetermined position in advance to ambush.

Because Karasa of Jacocao had just made a quick march and was already exhausted, they did not complete the high-level security as usual after camping by the river.Jaco's scouts were all sent in the direction where Ian's pursuers might appear, ignoring the possible enemies on the other side of the river.

The leader of Stormcrows, Puranda Na Jisen, followed Ian's instructions and brought the already selected estrous mares to the other side of the river. Under the action of progesterone and estradiol, a large number of Dothraki war horses Start crossing the river.

The huge movement gradually awakened the roaring warriors in their sleep. They prevented the horses on the bank from going down the river, and sent many people to jump into the river to control the attracted horses.

But because not every roaring warrior could find his war horse in the chaos, their actions did not achieve good results, and the chaos spread quickly.

Soon after, lightly armed Janissary cavalry also arrived, and the battle became a massacre against the disorganized and horseless Dothraki.

When dawn broke, Jacco's troops, who had lost their courage outside the Keith Pass, finally chose to surrender after experiencing the massacre last night.

Instead of continuing to pay attention to the battle situation there, Ian asked Falcon to find a tree to sleep at random, and then got off the bed lightly to avoid waking the sleeping girl.

After coming to the other side of the table and sitting down, he began to check yesterday's system settlement.

[Successfully kill more than 100 people with your own hands and achieve a special achievement'This is riding and cutting! '

Get 10 attribute points, 5 skill points]

"Fuck?" Ian stood up abruptly.

All the previous settlement emails were within my expectations. The annihilation of [-] enemies and the epic victory were achieved in the daytime battle yesterday. The ruling population and the occupation name were the result of drinking too much last night and being added by the yellow robe. Achieved, the advanced achievement 'Marauder' is to calculate the value of Khal Drogo's property-mainly horses-that he captured in the two battles of Jisdaka and Kaiser Pass.

And the last two emails.
Made!If it weren't for the fierce and long dragon flame from the black dragon Ian controlled by him, which sprayed out dozens of Dothraki at one time, and the enemies he killed by controlling the dragon would also be included in his KDA, I am afraid that he would This special set of achievements will never be discovered in this lifetime.

Who the hell likes to kill with his own hands?

No wonder, from Pentos gladiator player Ender Poole, to those players in Slaver's Bay, to those players in the Dothraki tribe...

No wonder those guys didn't have many opportunities to obtain resources from the system, but they rushed in a batch one by one!
Their development paths are all from the very beginning, they have to keep killing people with their own hands!Especially in the case of one person eating two people's resources, just these two special achievements can provide that person with 30 attribute points!Is it any wonder that this is not fierce?
Ian couldn't help but help his forehead. Fortunately, he always thought that those people had found some way to spawn advanced optional tasks, so they got so many attributes. Thinking about it carefully, even systematically studied the mechanism of spawning optional tasks What can those guys do that they can't even do?
What is this special achievement?A reward for the brave?Isn't Zhimeiliu the real riding and slashing?

Damn it!Well, it’s actually not that bad, anyway, don’t I get it now?Moreover, if he finds a hundred captives and kills them for Celia, he can have another prostitute.
No longer entangled, Ian added all attributes to spiritual power, and then upgraded the two magic skills of Red God Priest and Green Prophet to advanced levels.

The updated information is:
[Ian: Strength 39, Dexterity 32, Mental Power 58
Skills: Ritual Basics, Common Language Basic, High Valyrian Basic, Sword Mastery, Horsemanship Advanced, Lance Intermediate, Skinchanger Legendary, Greenseer Advanced, Priestess of the Red God Advanced
Attribute Points: 0
Skill Points: 1
Points: 1314
Props: basic skill optional scroll*2
Dream dungeon opening scroll*1]

So far, the only thing left in the main task of the three 'map country' is 'a city with a population of more than 50', which Ian has not yet achieved.

Generally speaking, this is indeed the most difficult item. In this era, it is impossible to build a new city with a population of 50 within a few decades.

If you want to complete this task, you can only conquer a ready-made city - Qarth in the east or Volantis in the west, or be more radical and go directly to Westeros to seize King's Landing
The last item was directly denied by Ian. Westeros is too far away from Slaver's Bay. Although he can complete the expedition and rule the Ghis Empire at the same time through the shapeshifting humans, he recruited reinforcements from Slaver's Bay to Weiss Tello needs half a year, such an action is too risky.

All that remains is to choose between Qarth and Volantis.

From a geographical point of view, Qarth and Volantis are about the same distance from Slaver's Bay, and it is almost impossible to travel by land, so they can only travel by sea.

Thinking about it, Ian began to carefully analyze the two cities.

Qarth is an extremely large and wealthy city in the southeast of the continent of Essos, located by the strait that connects the Summer Sea and the Jade Sea.It is a very spectacular architectural style, magnificent, and has the largest port in the known world.

The city is actually ruled by three organizations, the Thirteen Giants, the Tourmaline Brotherhood, and the Ancient Spice Guild. According to the merchant named Xaro among the Thirteen Giants who received Daenerys in the original book, these three guilds have a total of More than 3000 merchant ships.

They claim to be at the center of the world, a gateway between north and south, and a bridge between east and west.

In a sense, this city can be regarded as a super plus version of Constantinople and Venice. If Qarth is conquered, the wealth obtained from it will be enough for Ian to conquer at least half of the world.

But as described in the previous Constantinople plus version, the defense of Qarth can be called a miracle in this world, and is regarded as a symbol of strength in the entire Essos continent.

It has three thick walls.

The outer wall is made of red sandstone, with a height of thirty feet, and various animal figures are carved on it; the middle wall is made of gray granite, with a height of forty feet, and battle scenes are carved on it; the inner wall is made of black marble, with a height of fifty feet. , and the walls are decorated with a large number of fine Spring/Palace patterns.

Wanting to use force to conquer such a city, before the black dragon Ian grew up to be at least 10 years old, Ian felt that he seemed a little helpless.

Not to mention, there are too many mysterious things hidden in this city, such as wizards and immortals. If possible, Ian doesn't really want to deal with them.

So Ian is more inclined to set the next target as Volantis.

Volantis is located in the southeast corner of the Free Trade City-State, east of the Disputed Lands, at the mouth of the Lorne River, and is the closest Free Trade City-State to Valyria.She has a long history and is powerful, known as 'Varelia's eldest daughter', 'Queen of the Lorne River', 'Mistress of the Summer Sea'.

300 years ago, the Volantis ruled by the Tiger Party were determined to reconquer the world and restore the glory of the Valyrian Empire. They successively captured Lys and Myr, and began to attack Tyrosh.

This caused a great backlash, and Pentos, the Storm King of Westeros, Braavos, and Aegon the Dragon King riding the 'Black Death Balerion' sided with Tyrosh, and they incited Lys and Myr's rebellion, while crushing the Volantenes and ending their old Valyrian dream.

From then until today, Volantis has been governed by an elephant party that favors trade, but the emaciated camels are bigger than horses. It is reported that Volantis still has more than 50 tiger-robed troops. The logistics personnel and even the military households in the fields are counted, but in any case, their strength should not be underestimated.

Now Ian only hopes that the red-cloaked priest of Volantis, Maqiro, who visited Astapor before, can bring him some good news after returning to Volantis to see the Supreme Priest Benero—after all, Rah Luo has now become the number one religion of Volantis, and most of the tiger robe soldiers themselves are followers of the Red God.

As long as he has the full support of Benello, the difficulty of conquering Volantis will be reduced by more than one level.

Thinking of this, Ian suddenly thought of R'hllor. For some reason, he always had the feeling that this ubiquitous god in the original book had hung up.

I don't know if it is because there are too many players that most of the prophecies he made were destroyed, which in turn consumed too much of his power.

But this is a good thing. Ian doesn't want any so-called 'gods' to interfere with his plan. As far as the current state is concerned, he and R'hllor can still be regarded as a happy cooperation.

Ian's ultimate goal is to win this escape game - kill all other players or maximize the points. It is not realistic to kill all players, so Ian's ultimate goal is to score points.

And Celia's main task is to preach. Directly disseminating the Red God teachings, whether it is people's acceptance or the objective support Ian and the others can get, is far better than creating their own religion, and Celia's points can be all by herself take away.

So as long as R'hllor can continue to remain silent, Ian doesn't mind directly preaching in the empire in the name of R'hllor, and bring this belief to every corner of the world.

"I'm going to help you preach, and maybe in the future I will have to help you fight against the power of the Cold God, so I hope you don't know good and bad." Ian whispered to the fire that was boiling water.

I don't know if it was his own illusion, but Ian found that the flame on the wood seemed to be burning a little more suddenly at this moment, as if something was responding in the flame.

Ian took a closer look and saw an illusion in the flames.

It was a [-]-foot-high oval city wall made of molten black stones. Six carriages were galloping on it, as if they were running a race. The surrounding spectators sat on sedan chairs carried by people without touching the ground. .

The people in the sedan chair were cheering and shouting, as if celebrating a festival, but something happened suddenly. These people threw away their restraint, left the carriage one after another, and fled in all directions.

The phantom first followed the crowd, but quickly left the crowd behind, and was left far behind along with the entire black wall.

Immediately afterwards, Ian saw a building that seemed to be hollowed out of a huge boulder. Its beams, steps, walls, vaults, high towers and air corridors between the towers were perfectly connected together.

On the walls of the temple, countless hues such as red, yellow, gold, and orange are intertwined to form a gorgeous picture scroll. The slender spiers are entangled with each other, spinning upwards, and the cold flames seem to touch the sky.

In the hall in front of the temple, there were two groups of soldiers fighting, one of them was wearing gorgeous armor, wearing an orange cloak, and holding a spear whose tip was shaped like a burning flame, while the number on the other side was many times their number. Wearing scale armor, wearing a tiger helmet and diamond claw gauntlets.

The two sides fought in a fire, and the flames were everywhere, and they burned more and more until they swallowed everything.

And at this time, Ian escaped from the illusion, he found the reason why everything was swallowed by the flames, didn't he just stare at the fire from the beginning?
Feeling a hand holding a handkerchief stretched out to the top of his head, helping himself to wipe off the sweat that kept coming out, Ian raised his head, "Are you awake? It's still early, why don't you go to sleep for a while?"

"It's getting late, isn't it?" Daenerys blinked, "Look," she said as she opened the curtain of the tent.

Ian looked down and found that the sun had risen to mid-air.

It's been so long?And he didn't feel the passage of time at all?
"After I woke up, I saw you staring at the fire in a daze. I thought you were thinking about something, so I didn't bother you." Daenerys explained in a low voice.

"Did you see anything in the flames just now?" Ian asked subconsciously.

"Ah? In the flames? Could there be anything?"

"It's nothing, I'm too tired." Ian shook his head.

Is it because I just ordered the Red God Priest to be advanced?Now R'hllor can show me the illusion directly?Was that his reply to me just now?

What kind of answer is that?
What Ian was sure of was that the huge city wall that allowed six carriages to run side by side was the famous 'Black Wall' of Volantis.Judging from the fact that the phantom was shot to the end and there was no screen switching, the huge temple I saw next should be the Red Temple of Volantis.

Then there is the army fighting under the temple. On one side is the 'Hand of the Holy Fire' who is responsible for guarding the temple, and on the other side should be the 'Tiger Robe Army', the slave army of Volantis.

So does that picture refer to the Volantenes sending troops to attack the temple of R'hllor in the city of Volantis?Is that what is happening now, or is it going to happen in the future?
What is R'hllor's purpose in showing me this vision?
Ian couldn't sort out all the information for a while, so he could only record all the phantom details he remembered into the memo he carried with him, and then had breakfast with Daenerys.

After breakfast, there was a large-scale cremation ceremony. All the corpses collected by the sergeants from this battlefield were gathered and cremated together, including the dead horses of the Ghis, Lazarin, Dothraki and both sides.

Ian doesn't have time to slowly sort this out, he needs to end it all before the plague happens.

Moreover, his new empire claimed the old land of the Ghis Empire including the slaver's bay and the Raza area, as well as the entire Dothraki Sea, so it was justified to cremate the soldiers of the three nations together.

Ian did not let the army participate in this ceremony, but only arranged for some fire starters, and they quickly left the scene after lighting the fires everywhere.

After the flames ignited, Ian looked at Daenerys, and she stepped into it with three eggs in her hands—one light green, one milky white, and the last one was shiny gold.

"Go, I'll wait for you here." Ian said softly.

"Hmm." Daenerys had already experienced a similar thing, so this time she didn't have any fear, and walked straight into the flames.

Khal Drogo's body was unrecognizable, and Ian couldn't retrieve it from a pile of carbonized wreckage, but many powerful men died in this battle, and perhaps their souls could also be exchanged for dragon lives.

In addition, Ian ordered to kill many witches and witches, including Mirri Maz Duur, captured by the Prime Minister from Raza, and put them into this ceremony to ensure that there will be at least one dragon this time born.

The flames burned until noon before they were completely extinguished.

Ian hurried to Daenerys' side, and to his surprise, all three dragons hatched.

One of them has milky yellow scales with two rows of sharp teeth like shining black blades, and its eyes are like molten gold.

The second scale was green and bronze, like moss in a deep forest at dusk.These scales reflect luster like jade.It had black teeth and claws, and eyes like polished bronze mirrors.

The last dragon had golden scales all over its body, and its wing membrane was pale pink, as bright as the dawn.

The black dragon Ian, who was not under Ian's control at the moment, suddenly appeared above the fire, roaring sharply, and the young dragons below spewed white smoke from their mouths and noses, responding to the huge brother in the air, sending out Neighing.
