Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 330 The Raider's Offensive
At dawn on the fourth day of breaking the offering, the Pyramid of Marek
"Marek, what is the purpose of summoning us so early?" After entering the hall of the Pyramid of Marek, Lord Zac noticed that he was the first to arrive here.

"Anyway, you didn't fall asleep last night. What's the difference between morning and night?" Great Lord Marek sat in front of the brazier. The temperature here is kicked up a notch.

"How do you know I didn't fall asleep last night?" Master Zach asked in surprise.

"The city is in such a mess, who is asleep?"

"Hey," Zach couldn't help sighing softly, "Marek, can you give me an accurate statement? Are the rumors from the outside true?"

"If you ask me this kind of question, who should I ask?" Lord Marek sneered.

"Your family has always been valued by Earl Darry, and your eldest son, Ursain, was named Lord Femor's lieutenant general. Didn't you get some inside information from the front line?"

"That's right," another great master who just walked in at this time immediately echoed, "Marek, didn't you always promise that you would marry your granddaughter to Lord Darry? You really didn't get it." Any news?"

After hearing the words, several people who walked in also looked at Marek.

Lord Marek remained silent, making everyone feel chills even in this hot hall.

The Marek family was the first family in Meereen to offer an olive branch to Ian Darry, and they were also the leaders of the 'royalists' in Meereen. The news that the Lord Marek wanted to marry his granddaughter to Ian was well known. Everyone knows.Because his granddaughter was worthy of the title of "Light of Meereen" in every aspect, many Meereen nobles chose to bet on this girl and gathered around the Marek family.

In the previous series of struggles, these royalists who supported Ian's proclaiming the emperor naturally had serious enemies with the great masters of the Holy Lord led by the "Holy Lord" Hizdalla and the "Green Holy Maiden" Grazdan , and was repeatedly suppressed by the opponent.

Meereen is different from Yunkai and Astapor. Ian didn't have time to manage the city when he made an emergency landing in the city, so he hurried to the Raza area.This makes Ian far more detractors than supporters in the city.

The royalist nobles all hoped that Ian would triumphantly return earlier and reshape the power structure of Meereen, so that they could sweep away the decline and win a round.Unexpectedly, what they waited for was such bad news.

The news of Ian's defeat had spread throughout Meereen, and they knew it was true. It was only out of unwillingness in their hearts that they accepted the appointment of the Marek family with the last sliver of luck, hoping to get a chance from this man. The royalist leader got information contrary to the rumors.

The silence of Great Lord Marek at this moment made everyone fall into despair.

"Damn it! Everything is over!" Master Zach's face turned pale.

"If we go and surrender Hizdahr now, is there still time?" asked a Great Lord.

"You are crazy, have you forgotten how you provoked him before? And ah, if Hizdahr accepts our surrender, what will he give to those marauders at sea?" Another great master He read it quite clearly, "By the way, Marek, since you don't have any news from the front line, why did you ask me here?" He suddenly remembered.

"Yes, we have this time to gather here, we might as well find a way to escape from the city."

"There is no need for that, my friends." A voice suddenly sounded, and the great masters looked up, surprised to find that the executive member Grazdan zo Eraz actually appeared in this hall.

"Lord Eraz." Great Master Marek saluted first, and the other great masters saluted one after another even though they were a little unclear.

Grazdan nodded to them first, then turned to Great Lord Marek: "How many people did you invite come here?"

"That's all, just nine." Marek's voice was a little hoarse, counting himself, there were only four great masters and six lesser noble masters.

Although the royalists of Meerlin were weak, there were usually seven or eight great masters and dozens of inferior nobles. It was really embarrassing for him to come here today.

"That's really a pity." Grazdan sighed in confusion.

Originally, members of these royalists would have received asylum and huge rewards, but those who did not come here today... At this best moment, no matter whether they chose to betray or escape, they all missed this opportunity.

If those people can survive the turmoil, although Ian will not liquidate them like he liquidated the Holy Lord faction, the matter of dividing the cake basically has nothing to do with them.

"What are you referring to as regrettable?" Zak Weizhu asked inexplicably.

"Nothing," Grazdan shook his head without explaining, "The looters in the port area will launch a general attack on this city at noon today at the latest. You go home and bring your important family members and slaves to Marek. Pyramids to assemble. The reorganized new army is entering the city, they will arrive here with food, and then protect you from this turmoil. Don't begrudge your belongings left in the pyramids, just throw them away. When this turmoil is over, His Majesty the Emperor will Give you multiplied wealth."

"Emperor?" Great Master Zak was at a loss for words all of a sudden, "You mean His Majesty Dai defeated King Ma and is returning?"

"Could it be that you really believe those rumors?" Grazdan's mouth curled up, "His Majesty's fleet is approaching Meereen, and it will arrive by tonight at the latest. Anyone who dares to desecrate this city will be punished." Purified by fire and blade."

"Long live the emperor!" Great Lord Zak shouted first, and then all the core members of the royalist faction in the hall cheered.

On the morning of the fourth day of the suspension, Meereen port area.
"The news has been confirmed. Last night, the reorganized new army did indeed send food convoys to the Great Pyramid through the southern city area many times, but almost all the convoys were robbed by the mob, and there was only a small amount of food. It was successfully transported to the Great Pyramid." The mercenary leader walked into the room and reported to Captain Mataus.

"Many times?" Mataus quickly grasped the key word.

"In the beginning, they only sent a centurion to transport food to the city, but the centurion was attacked by the mob and failed to reach the Great Pyramid and collapsed.

Then the reorganized new army hastily organized four centurions, and after entering the city, they marched towards the Great Pyramid from different directions. Three of the teams broke up after encountering the mob, and only one team left after leaving half of the baggage cart. Kankan broke through the blockade and arrived under the Great Pyramid. "The mercenary leader reported truthfully.

As soon as he finished speaking this time, the whole room became noisy.

This is a tavern in Meereen's Port Street, which became the temporary residence of the leaders of this group of sea raiders after being occupied by mercenaries.There are a total of more than ten people in this room, all of whom are representatives elected by the captains of various forces.

Although the fleets gathered at the port of Meereen came from all over the world, they all had a common goal at the moment, which was to capture and loot this oily city rich in the accumulation of thousands of years of slave trade.Considering that the city still has [-] city guards and [-] new slave troops, the raiders formed a common raider alliance on the basis of their own small alliances.

Although this loose alliance is destined to break due to the unfair distribution of plunder, that is something to come. They cannot fight among themselves until they defeat Meereen's garrison and loot food.

The most powerful of these people is Mataus Megea of ​​Volantis. As the eldest grandson of Malacho Megea, the governor of the Tiger Party, he was unanimously elected by the Volantenes here as the interim The leader has a force of 5000 men in his hands.

Ranked second in power is Xaro Xhoan Daxos of Qarth. Although his power here is not too strong, his status as the thirteen giants of Qarth has also brought him great power. Since he announced that he would lead the Qarth Temporary Alliance, a large number of captains from cities on the east coast of the Summer Sea or cities along the Jade Sea have joined him.

It is these two who are fighting for the main decision-making power of the Marauder Alliance.

Mataus Maegia's opinion is to form an alliance with Meereen's "Holy Lord" Hizdahr, and the other party will withdraw all the city guards to the pyramid of the Holy Lord's Meerlin Great Lord, while the Marauder Alliance can Go straight to the Great Pyramid, first seize the food stored in the Great Pyramid, and then only need to defeat the remaining new slave army, you can plunder the pyramids of all other great masters except the Holy Master Sect, and return with a full load.

Although this plan spared some great masters of the Holy Master Sect, the risk level is the lowest, and it preserves the foundation of the city of Meereen, allowing the future slave trade to proceed normally to a certain extent. The support of the captains of the slave trade.

Xaro Xhoan Daxos was of the opposite opinion, distrusting Hizdahr, the 'Lord' of Meereen, calling him a liar, and claiming to have received it from Meereen's acting Chancellor of the Exchequer Obtained internal information. There is no food in the Great Pyramid of Meereen at all. The place where there is really a lot of food in Meereen is the Pyramid of Lorak of the 'Holy Lord' Hizdahr, and he advocates attacking the Mirin of the Holy Lord's sect first. Master Lin Wei.

Mataus and Xaro accused the other party of being deceived, and the two sides insisted on their own opinions. As a result, the Raider Alliance failed to reach an agreement after half a night of discussions last night.

until the news arrives.

There is only one reason for the reorganized new army to send grain transportation teams to break through the mob blockade twice at any cost, and there is only one reason for wanting to deliver food to the Great Pyramid—there is really no food left in the Great Pyramid.

In other words, telling Mataus that the Great Pyramid is the place with the most food in Meereen, and suggesting that Mataus give priority to attacking the Great Pyramid, Meereen's "Holy Lord" Hizdalah, made a fuss and sent Mataus put together.

Facing the questioning gazes cast by everyone, Mataus, who has always been proud, lost face for a moment, "I will make that bastard Hizdahr pay the price!" He swore loudly.

"If you had listened to me earlier, we would have captured the Pyramid of Lorak by now!" Xaro said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Now I agree with your plan, let's start to act, we have delayed too long." Mataus heard Xaro's ridicule, but he knew the person first, so he was wrong, so he didn't argue.

After the two big bosses, Mataus and Xaro, reached an agreement, nearly ten thousand people crowded in the port area of ​​Meereen quickly took action and rushed to the south.

At noon on the fourth day of the cutoff, the Pyramid of Lorak
"My lord, I don't think this situation is right." The city guard general of the Lorak family came to Hizdahr's side.

"What's wrong?" Hizdahr asked violently. In fact, he is very good at disguising, and he can always put on a polite look, but the current tense situation in Meereen and Reznak mo · The disappearance of Reznak made him a little distraught, and a sense of foreboding lingered in his heart.

"According to your order, I shrank the City Guards to our Lorak Pyramid and the pyramids of the two nearby allies, and made way for the Volantenes to attack the Great Pyramid and those royalist strongholds," he directly said All the looters are called Volantenes, "But from what I have observed from the top of the pyramid, they are not taking the road to the Great Pyramid or the Zak Pyramid at all, but they seem to be heading towards us." here."

"Impossible!" Hizdahr roared immediately, "Mataus Megea is my old friend." Perhaps realizing that his remarks were exaggerated, he changed his words, "We have cooperated before, and His reputation is very good, how could he betray me?"

While talking, Hizdahr led a group of Holy Lords who had taken refuge in the Pyramid of Lorak and sent the Great Lord to the large terrace at the top of the pyramid. The view from the top of the pyramid was good. He wanted to see those Volantenes with his own eyes. action.

"Is it possible that it has something to do with the new slave army transporting grain to the Great Pyramid last night?" the city guard general guessed, "The new slave army hurriedly transported grain to the Great Pyramid, making Mataus mistakenly believe that In fact, there is no food, so we wonder if we are cheating him?"

"Ridiculous! How could there be no food in the Great Pyramid? It's impossible!" Hizdahr scolded angrily.

"Then how do you explain the actions of the new slave army last night?"

"This..." Hizdahr was immediately stopped by the question. He knew that there must be a problem, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

While talking, the two came to the top of the Great Pyramid of Marek.

Hizdahr came to the edge of the terrace, leaned on the railing and looked down, only to see a large number of mercenaries and sailors coming from all directions. The spears and axes in their hands easily caused damage to the city guards lined up on the street. A large amount of damage was done.

In less than 10 minutes, the city guards in six directions were breached successively, and the looters attacked the pyramid in the blink of an eye.

Hizdahr's legs went limp, and he sat down on the ground.
