Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 337 Political Teaming
The heavily armored warrior caught in a fierce battle has not yet realized that Ian (Kolu) has killed his companion and walked out of the room.For Ian, who was hiding next to the pillar, this was an opportunity to sneak up on the opponent.

Thinking of this, Ian raised a short javelin with his left hand and pointed it at the guy, but after aiming several times, he still didn't choose to throw it.

Neither Ian nor Kolu's clone is left-handed. Although his trained left hand can barely use weapons flexibly, the strength of his left hand is never enough if he wants to break armor with a javelin.

Ian looked down at his right hand, which had been tied tightly with a cloth, but still couldn't stop the bleeding, and two plans came to mind.

One is the magic potion called 'Blessing of the Supreme Shepherd' that is sold in the system mall for 20 points. Applying this potion can definitely save your hand or even completely cure it, but it takes time for the potion to take effect.

The second is the magic of the red god with healing power. In the original book, the red-robed monk Marqoro from Volantis used this magic to heal Euron's younger brother Victarion Greyjoy. hand injury.

After the Red God Priest's skills reached the legendary level, Ian also had a lot of memories related to magic in his mind, including this healing magic spell.

But I am not the body now.

In the blink of an eye, Ian noticed that another guard who was besieging the heavily armored knight had been killed. Time was running out, so he decided to give it a try, and chanted the spell to his right hand.

Unfortunately, the spell didn't work.

Obviously, the magic skills of the ontology cannot be used by the shapeshifter.

After realizing that his right hand could not be recovered here, Ian could only decide to use his left hand to join the battle. He hid behind the pillar and observed the several people in the fierce battle, raising his javelin and waiting for the opportunity.

Perhaps it was because of his high mental strength, after Ian fully concentrated his attention, he felt that everyone's movements slowed down inexplicably. Although it was not to the extent of slowing down, all the movements of the heavy armored knight could already be done. He guessed it in advance.

Seizing an opportunity, Ian threw the javelin in his hand, and the spear head flew straight at the heavily armored warrior's face, hitting the observation hole on his visor and hitting the steel bar on the fence. After bending, he stabbed his left eyeball.

The impact caused the heavily armored warrior's head to fall back, and he took two steps back, almost falling down. He struggled to stabilize his body, but unexpectedly, a guard took the opportunity to stab his sword into the gap in the armor under his armpit.The right arm of the heavily armored warrior lost strength, and the battle ax in his hand fell off instantly.

The other two guards who were besieging him immediately seized this opportunity. One of them pierced his crotch with a sword, and the other struck the popliteal socket of his left leg with an axe, although they could not directly destroy his entire knee joint. It cut off, but also caused him to lose his support and fall to the ground.

Without giving the heavily armored warrior any more chances to react, the first guard who attacked him didn't even pull out the sword stuck under his armpit, and directly took out the armor-piercing cone-shaped dagger and stabbed him with all his strength at the breastplate and throat of the connection.

At this point, the super S-rank guy was completely dead.

"Sir," the three guards ignored the warrior's body and all ran towards Ian. "Are you okay?" one of them asked, looking at Ian's injured right hand.

"How's the situation outside?" Ian didn't answer him, but directly asked about the situation outside.

"It's not optimistic," the guard replied truthfully. "Originally, we had repelled the enemy's attack before dusk. We all thought they would rest all night and continue again early tomorrow morning. But we didn't expect that they would replace a new batch after nightfall. More people came up and continued to attack, and the brothers can hardly bear it now."

The mansion that Manius Wisama found for them was quite large, with a thick wall and several towers outside the atrium. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a medium-sized castle with weak defense.It's just that the mansion is in the city of Volantis, and the overall terrain is flat. The enemy can attack from any direction, which inevitably makes the defenders exhausted.

"Where is Daeron?" Ian continued to ask.

"The tower to the east of the mansion is the main direction of the enemy's attack, and the Earl himself is in charge."

"How many enemies are there?"

"We're not very clear about this. Why don't you ask Earl Grafson? The Earl also told me that he hopes you can find him as soon as you wake up." The guard lowered his head as he said.

"Lead the way." Ian nodded, agreeing to the guard's proposal.No matter what he wants to do next, he must first find Daelon to understand the situation here.

It's been a long time since Ian has fought such an aggrieved battle. In the past, he used to rely on the ability of the shape changer to fully understand the opponent's number, equipment, location and other information, and then decide whether to fight and how to fight.It can be said that before every battle starts, there is no suspense about the outcome.

But this time, I didn't scout the eagle in the sky, and my Kou Lu body was just a shapeshifter, without magic ability, and I couldn't temporarily occupy a bird to scout.

Fortunately, when I came to Volantis, I brought a lot of intelligence agents, and I only hope that they can detect some valuable information for my reference.

Just as he was thinking, a figure suddenly stood in front of Ian and his party.

"Stop! Who are you?" It was a giant man wearing a blood-colored mask, holding a heavy war hammer in his hand.

Ian recognized this person at a glance——'Bonebreaker' Belakovo, he was as famous as 'Giant' Gruul, the two most powerful gladiators Ian found in the Arena of Meereen, Those who are stronger than them are either dead or past their peak.

Because of the bad relationship between the two, Ian kept the 'Giant' Gruul by his side and acted as a guard under Yada, while the 'Bonebreaker' Belakovo was assigned to the mission , was sent to Volantis.

Seeing this person, Ian felt a little settled.

If the heavily armored warrior who had just touched the inner court for a surprise attack could not lose to Case, the bonebreaker was definitely stronger than Case, and he was regarded as the highest combat power in the mission this time.

"This is Mr. Koru, the Duke of Jisdaka. We are looking for Earl Daeron Grafson." A guard stepped forward and explained.

Holding the torch, the Bonebreaker took two steps forward, saw Ian's face clearly under the light of the fire, then stepped aside, lowered his head, "Please come in, my lord."

"Leave this place to your lieutenant, and you stay with me." Ian was worried that there would be assassins touching his face, so he decided to let the Bonecrusher protect him personally.

"Yes, sir." Bonebreaker had no objection. After nodding to the adjutant, he handed the torch in his hand to the guard beside Ian, then picked up his warhammer from the ground and followed Ian into the tower. .

The last wave of the enemy's offensive had just been repulsed, and the soldiers in the tower were drinking water, eating bread or treating their wounds during the extremely short rest time.

"Lord Koulu?" Earl Daeron Grafson was wearing a full plate armor and was resting against the wall. As soon as he saw Ian and the others enter the tower, he immediately shouted.

Daeron hastily put the lid on the wine jug, got up with his hands on the ground, and strode to Ian.

"Did they tell you about the situation here?" After Daeron walked in, Ian noticed that his face was covered with a mixture of blood, sweat and dust, and he was quite embarrassed. It was obvious that he personally participated in the battle.

Ian still vaguely remembered that when he tricked Daeron into surrendering in the abandoned fishing village in the Riverlands, this guy was still a coward like a mouse, the second son of a nobleman who was trying to gain fame.Unexpectedly, after more than a year, Dai Lun has not only improved his status, but also become a kind person.

"I know a little bit, not too much." Ian glanced at the lookout of the tower, and wanted to go over to observe it, but considering that he had no protection on his head and was worried about cold arrows, he gave up the plan.

"How many enemies are there?" He turned to Daeron and asked.

"The first group, about 600, was the clearest group, as our intelligence agents scattered outside counted these enemies while they were still on the road. But soon after their siege began we quickly I lost contact with the intelligence agents outside, and now all I know is that the other side received at least two batches of reinforcements after the battle began."

"How is their troop deployment?" Ian continued to ask.

"This tower was attacked the most violently, followed by the three towers on the front, northwest and northeast, then the west, and the lightest was the south. The south tower received almost no attack." Darren reported the information he knew, "If you plan to break out, I think the south is a good choice. It is also easier to reach the port from the south."

Isn't this an obvious trap?Ian squeezed the space between his eyebrows, but didn't say much.

The siege of the master's legacy is often regarded as a conspiracy, because even if you don't break through the gap left by the enemy, choosing to stick to it is bound to be a dead end.At the same time, even if you know that the enemy has an ambush outside the gap, you still have a chance to break out from here.

"Did you contact Marnius after the enemy's operation started?" Ian thought for a while and continued to ask.

"No, we don't know what's going on with him yet." Daeron shook his head, and then said hastily, "What should we do now? It's not an option to hold on like this, what do you think?"

Looking at Daeron's hopeful eyes, Ian was completely convinced that the other party had already guessed that he was Ian himself.

Because he is Ian, the moment he appeared here, Darren's hanging heart was relieved. Perhaps in his view, as long as he took over the command here, this battle would be considered a win. Come on.

Not only Daeron, but the generals of the entire empire now probably also have this kind of mythical personality worship for themselves. This is also the result of their own fueling.

But here is a dead end.

Up to now, Ian has hardly started to play chess in Volantis, and there are not many chess pieces on this chessboard that belong to him at all.Under such circumstances, it is somewhat idiotic to want him to confront the players who have been running Volantis from the very beginning and the most powerful family in Volantis.

"Wait first, hold here first." Ian could only reply to Daeron in this way, and then sat by the wall and began to think.

He was thinking about what would happen if he directly withdrew his mental power and gave up here.

Losing an S-class NPC clone is actually nothing. With his current mental strength, he can transform into another one at any time. The S-class combat power is no longer precious to Ian now.

And the remaining hundreds of people including Daeron Grafson and the loss of a ship, for the new Valyrian Empire, it is not even a skin trauma...sent to the hospital a few seconds later It kind of heals itself.Moreover, he could use the attack on the mission to make a big fuss about Volantis and gain a greater moral high ground.

Even if they lost Marnius Wisama and his master justice teacher, Volantene still had someone willing to take their place and become the Volantene hero.Coupled with the support of Mataus Megia, who had completed brainwashing in Meereen, and the Red Temple of Volantis, his plan to win Volantis would not be greatly affected.

But I always feel unwilling to give in, and there is a feeling of anger in my stomach.

Ian has never suffered such a big loss since his debut. Even when he was slapped by the golden robe player in King's Landing and almost collapsed in Stranger's Sanctuary, he used the wildfire trap to kill him backhand and found the place. back.

And if I give up here now, I have to wait at least three months before I can settle accounts with those grandchildren.
"Master Kou Lu, someone has attacked the enemies outside!" Darren Grafson suddenly ran to Ian and interrupted his thinking by shouting.

Someone attacked the enemy outside?who is it?Ian was a little surprised. Who would help him at this time?
"There are quite a few of them, and the enemy's encirclement has been broken. Shall we take this opportunity to break out?" Daeron exclaimed excitedly, "This is the moment you made us wait for, right?"

Judging by Darren's appearance, he probably regarded the outsiders as his own arrangements, but Ian instinctively felt that this was another trap, but on second thought, so what if it was a trap?
Anyway, staying behind is a dead end. Even if you don't rush out, you are probably ready to give up this mission.And his intuition told Ian that the people who came would be friends.

"Call everyone together and break through." Ian gave this order without hesitation.

"Father, will we bet too much in this wave?" Mous Valeros stood in the study of Palachiro Valeros, the justice of Volantis, and asked worriedly, " Since the Wisama family dared to openly attack the residence of the Ghis Mission in the city, it meant that his actions had obtained the permission of the three consuls in advance.

You used the power of the chancellor to mobilize the Tiger Robes in the city who are close to our faction to suppress the 'riot'. This is not only a war against the Wisama family, but also a blatant slap in the face of the consuls. Maybe Our entire Valeros family will pay for it this time. "

"Political side, do you think it's a dinner treat? Don't bet on the fate of the family in times of crisis. When Ian Darry descends on Volantis on a dragon, he will take a high look at our Valeros family?" The judge chuckled.

"You mean?" Mauwes was a little confused, "But didn't the sailors returning from Slaver's Bay say..."

"No, that's not the truth." The justice shook his head and glanced at the fire in the fireplace, "The lady has shown me everything, and we are destined not to lose this bet.

This is our best chance to win the Emperor's trust. After tonight, House Valeros will stand at the top of Volantis. "
