Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 341
Ian Colu was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. He opened his eyes and looked out of the skylight, and found that the sky outside was bright.

Ian, who slept in his clothes, immediately stood up, went to the door, took off the bolt, and opened the door.

"Your Majesty, there are some emergencies outside. Earl Grafson asked me to come and invite you over immediately." The person who came was one of Darren's personal guards. Although he said there was an emergency, the look on his face But not very anxious.

Based on this, Ian could probably guess that this emergency would not be due to the attack on the Great Red Temple, but should be related to the overall situation in Volantis.

Thinking of this, Ian breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "What happened?"

"I can't tell. It seems that who was arrested?" The guard shook his head. "In short, it was General Bericio Valeros who brought back the news. He originally wanted to come to you directly, but He was not qualified to enter the courtyard, so he could only find Earl Grafson instead, and ask the Earl to help him contact you."

"Lead the way." Ian nodded.

"Do you want to wake up 'Bonebreaker' Belakovo?" At this moment, the slave warrior guarding the door of Ian's room asked.

Bonebreaker sleeps in the room next to Ian. If there is any movement, the guards can wake him up at any time to protect Ian.

"Well, no need," Ian thought for a while, then refused, "Let him sleep, I won't leave the central temple"

These slave warriors don't have such strong mental power as their own. Last night, the bonebreaker had been on duty for himself, and he probably just slept not long ago.In the absence of danger, Ian has no reason to overdraw these powerful fighters infinitely.

So, Ian led a team of guards and followed Daeron's personal guards all the way to the gate of the central temple.

Darren Grafson, the red-robed woman Melisandre, the red-robed monk Marquilo, and the tiger-robed army general Belicio Valeros all stood there, as if they had been waiting for a long time.Sixteen Holy Fire Hands stood on both sides holding torches, illuminating the surrounding area brightly.

"What's keeping you awake and calling me over in such a hurry?" Ian asked directly before he approached.

Bericio and Darren glanced at each other, and Darren raised his chin, motioning for the other to speak.

"That's right, Your Excellency the Duke." Bericio pondered for a while, as if he didn't know where to start, "Do you still remember Marnius?" It seemed that he was worried that the other party might not remember such a person, and he Quickly added his full name, "Manius Wisama, the law student who introduced you to my father before"

Besirio was still thinking about how to introduce this person, but Ian interrupted him directly: "What's wrong with him? Have you contacted him yet?"

"Manius." Seeing that Ian took Manius very seriously, Bericio's heart sank, "He has been captured by Bellisa Wisama, that is, his second brother. ...According to the information we got, Belisa Wisama tricked Marnius back to the old house of the Wisama family in the name of his father before raiding the residence of your mission, and took control of him. The latest reports indicate that Belisa intends to accuse Marnius of treason and collusion in parliament tomorrow morning."

"How long will this trial last?" Ian frowned.

"If Lord Visama Archon has no objections, the results will be announced that day. Manius is likely to be executed before the second fleet from Slaver's Bay arrives in Volantis."

"So why did you ask me to come here?" Ian raised his eyelids. He didn't think that General Volantis in front of him seemed to be someone who wanted to save people. Besides, Bericio mentioned that Mani When it came to the name Us, he was not polite.

"I hope you can find a way to stop my father," Bericio clenched his fists, emotionally, "I suspect my father is crazy, and he wants to rescue Marnius."

"Oh?" This is quite interesting.

"Marnius is a student my father likes. He was fostered in our family when he was 14 years old, and he can be regarded as my father's adopted son." Bellisio thought the other party was asking why his father wanted to save the horse. Nius explained quickly,
"My father loved Marnius much more than my younger brother Mous, who was also a law student. He always thought that compared to my brother, Marnius was the one who was more suitable to succeed him. The man of the mantle. Now that Manius is in danger, it is clear that he has lost control of his father."

"So, Lord Justice Parachiro is also here?"

"Yes, after ordering me to lead troops to support you, father immediately moved the important members of his family to the Great Red Temple"

"So what is he going to do?" Ian asked immediately. In fact, this was the question he wanted to ask just now. "How is he going to save Marnius?"

Ian couldn't figure it out, what action could a judge take to save people in the black wall under the current situation?
"He plans to return to the Black Wall alone to attend the trial of Manius by the Great Council and defend him personally. As a senior senator and candidate consul of the Great Council, his father has deep connections in the Council. As long as he appears in person, Manius' death sentence cannot be passed."

Isn't this a gift?Ian twitched his lips and returned to the black wall. Can you decide what will happen next?
"Although the Great Council will not really do anything to my father, as long as he returns to the Black Wall, he will actually become a hostage, and our actions will become constrained." Belicio looked angry.

The Great Council will not do anything to him, but that player may not be sure. Ian narrowed his eyes, no, the King of Sadness will definitely try to assassinate him. The conflict between the two parties has made the conflict between us and the Great Council of Volantis irreconcilable.

Although he thought so, Ian didn't say it out, he just asked, "Can't you keep the judge?"

No matter what Justice Palachiro is saying, as long as Bellicio is tougher and leaves the old man in the Red Temple, won't there be no trouble behind him?

"I can't keep him," Bellicio explained in a low voice. "He has already arrived at the Sixth and Ninth Brigades of the Tiger Robes stationed under the outer wall of the temple. He is a close confidant of my father. I have not been in Volantis city all year round. As soon as my father opened his mouth, he deprived me of the command of the two groups of tiger robes." Belicio said, and continued to explain the situation outside. ,
"In the middle of the night last night, the consuls who got the news had mobilized four brigades of Tiger Robe Army overnight and stationed on the four streets outside the Great Red Temple, blocking it. Father, he planned to use the strength of these two brigades for his Clear the way and send him into the black wall."

"So, what exactly are you looking for me for?" Ian's mood sank completely.Originally, in the city of Volantis, I only had 1000 Holy Fire Hands, the four tiger-robed army brigades, and the remaining 100 people under Daeron's men.Among them, the two brigades of tiger-robed troops mobilized by Ma Qiluo were completely rabble-rous. If the Chief Justice really took the troops of the two relatively good brigades to send them out, then the defense of the Red Temple would be destroyed. to a great weakening.

Even if the consuls don't use the main force of the Tiger Robe Army, they can easily break into the Red God Temple by relying on mercenaries and the most elite three or four brigades of the Tiger Robe Army who rarely have followers of the Red God.

"What are you hesitating about? You went around in a big circle, but in the end you refused to tell your intention?" Seeing Bellicio being silent again, Ian finally couldn't help but angrily reprimanded.

"I assured my father that I would find other ways to help him rescue Marnius before I succeeded in persuading him." Seeing Ian getting angry, Bericio didn't dare to procrastinate any longer, and immediately said, "But He only gave me two hours, and asked me to tell him the full plan of action before early morning, otherwise he will insist on going to the Great Council."

"So." Without waiting for Ian to speak again, he continued, "I would like to ask you to help find a way to save Marnius."

Ian was about to answer, but suddenly remembered something, "I vaguely remember that just a few hours ago, you asked me for command of the entire army. Why did you suddenly think of asking me for it?"

"Um..." Bellisio looked up at the red-robed woman who had been standing beside her, and admitted, "In fact, I was looking for Ms. Melisandre at first, hoping that she could use some kind of weapon that I hadn't seen before. Magic came to help, but Ms. Melisandre said that in order to use magic with sufficient power, it must be sacrificed with the blood of the king.

Volantis can't find any king's blood at all, which means I can't get help from her, but Lady Melisandre recommended you to me, and she said that only you can do it. After Bericio finished speaking, he lowered his head.

Hey, hey, don't agree to this kind of thing for me casually, you bastard!Ian suppressed the desire to complain. In order to maintain his composure, he had to maintain a calm and calm expression on his face. At the same time, he quickly analyzed the pros and cons of this matter in his mind.

There is no doubt that the public trial of Marnius's second brother and the player who occupies the heartbreak area is actually quite insidious.

The whole of Volantis knows that Marnius is the closest one among all the Black Wall nobles to the Ghis mission. If Marnius is publicly executed by the Grand Council, when he officially declares Volantis in the future, the Grand Council will Some nobles would probably think of Marnius' fate at the first moment, and thus refuse to stand on their side.

At the same time, the other party probably has already found out about the feelings of Justice Parachiro Valeros for Marnius, and is sure that the judge will return to the black wall to save Marnius.If Judge Parachiro, who had publicly stood on his side last night, died on the way to the Grand Council, it would not only shake the trust between himself and the Valeros family, but also further destroy his own in Valeros. Lantis' reputation.

If this kind of thing really happened, it would be better if there was no support last night, and let this clone and the mission be killed by the other party.After all, it would not be a scandal at all if only one mission was taken away.

No matter from which perspective, this Manius himself must be saved.

But what help?
"How many manpower do we have available now?" Ian asked Belicio, Darren and Magiro at the same time. "I mean, all the manpower and positions we can mobilize now, and details of those resources that may be available to us.”

Originally, he only thought about defending the Great Red Temple, and didn't think about formally attacking Volantis within half a year, so he didn't really summarize the information in detail.

"Let's start with the important," Ian added. "Our time is limited." Parachiro only gave Bellicio two hours, and now it's almost halfway through.

"Actually, I don't know much about it." Daeron froze for a moment, and quickly asked for instructions, "Should I go find our intelligence chief in Volantis?"

Ian nodded, then looked at the remaining two.

"The forces of the Red Temple have all shrunk into the temple," Maqiro said first, "including the Hand of the Thousand Holy Flames you already know, and the Tiger Robe Army from the Tenth and No.11 Brigades. The outer walls of the temple are stationed.

The leader of the Tiger Robe Army of the No.12 Brigade is also a believer of our Lord. If I go to him personally, I should be able to persuade him to join our operation, but they are stationed in the northernmost part of the city, which is too far away from here, so it may not be able to play a role. What effect.

In addition, there are hundreds of small churches of the Lord of Light in the entire lower city of Volantis. If we activate them all, we can organize at least [-] fanatic believers to come, but this cannot be completed before noon. , whether it is to pass the order to the red-robed monks below, or to let them mobilize the believers, it will take time.Moreover, they had no weapons, so the only way to face the Tiger Pao Army was to be massacred. "After Magiro finished speaking, he looked at Bellicio again.

"I have almost no power in the city of Volantis. I came back in a hurry this time and only brought a group of followers. Those two groups of tiger-robed troops should already be the main power of the Valeros family." Berry Theo took the words with an awkward expression. It was obvious that everyone was helping him with things, but he could hardly help.

"Not in the city, what about outside the city? Are there people from you in the eight brigades outside the city?" Ian continued to ask, "Tomorrow the consuls will definitely order the transfer of troops from the barracks outside the city, if..."

"No." Bellicio shook his head and interrupted Ian, "I do have people in the upper reaches of the Lorne River, but they are not in the barracks outside the city of Volantis."

"Where is that?"

"In" Belisio thought for a while, felt that although it was meaningless, he continued, "I single-handedly selected the commander of the garrison in Vilonses Town. He has six brigades of Tiger Robe Army, half of them These are veterans who fought with me against the Qohor and the Dothraki.

But we can't count on them now. Even taking a boat from Velonthes Town to Volantis will take nearly three days. Even if they arrive at the port of Volantis's northern city, they will not have siege weapons. The inner city wall behind the port cannot be broken even under such circumstances. "

"Find me a detailed map of Volantis, act quickly, we don't have much time." Ian did not comment on Bericio's judgment, and directly issued a new order.

"Do it." Maqiro immediately said to a Holy Fire Hand who was standing guard next to him.
