Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 57 Wilder's Plan
"Humans have many shortcomings, and greed is the most dangerous among them." Ian commented that he knew the reason why Sir Willy Ward was still impoverished half a year later in the original book.

If Sir Wilder had chosen to directly raid the remaining people in the fishing village, then they would have at least obtained this batch of treasures, but unfortunately he did not.

In the end, judging from the results shown in the original book, no matter what plan Sir Wilde chose in the end, it must have failed.

"That's what I said at the time," Sir Willie Ward expressed his support for Ian in a rare way. "After the other party's caravan leaves, we only need to launch an attack immediately, and the treasures they hoarded in the fishing village at that time are already within easy reach. , but Wilder was adamant that he refused to take immediate action."

"And it turned out that I was right, didn't I?" Wilde argued, "They are still stationed there until now, and there has been no boat to pick them up, which means that they will wait until the treasure is completely transferred to the fishing village. The opponent's ship will arrive!"

Willie Ward didn't seem to agree with Wilder's statement, but he still didn't contradict Wilder again.

"So your plan is to wait for the other party to transfer all the treasures to the fishing village and catch them all at once?" Ian heard his plan from Wilder's words.

"It's almost like that." Sir Wilder nodded.

"Okay, so what is your complete plan?" Ian asked, and he planned to analyze Wilder's plan carefully.

Since I already know that the opponent's plan will fail, as long as I can find out the reason for Wilder's failure in advance, I can turn defeat into victory.

"First of all, we keep monitoring the abandoned fishing village to make sure there are no abnormalities there."

"Can you be sure that the other party didn't find you?"

"Yes, because we occupy a hidden high point outside the fishing village, and the team of the other party who stayed behind in the fishing village has never sent anyone out."

"How many people did you deploy? I mean, if you want to wipe out the opponent, then you need to call up the troops of your entire knight alliance, and if you do that, I am very puzzled, then you don't need it at all." Let Martha help you recruit foreign knights to help?"

"No, Sir Lucian, this time I didn't summon the members of the Knights Alliance. Firstly, this action is too big, and it is easy to arouse the other party's vigilance. Secondly," Sir Wilde paused, seemingly hesitant, but looked at the Ian's deep eyes, he still gave up his plan to hide them,
"Secondly, I feel that there is something wrong with us internally. Although we always like to push the matter of the inner ghost to the Black Falcon Mercenary Group every time we gather, I know that the inner ghost is on our side." Wilder After the Jazz finished speaking, his face darkened significantly.

The inner ghost is on your side?Then how did 'Black Falcon' Morgan discover the ghost? "Do you have any evidence for that?" Ian asked.

"I thought you would ask about the Black Falcon mercenary. You have been digging into every detail before." Wilder was a little surprised by Ian's reaction.

"Return" Ian wanted to ask Wilder to answer his question directly, but just as he spoke, he realized that the other party was not the 'adopted son' Dorian and the others.

Wilder is an old knight with great power in the local area rather than his subordinates. Although he is very respectful to himself in his posture, if he bosses him around again and again, it may not be conducive to unity.

"I have other sources of information, sir. I recruited a few mercenaries from the Black Falcon Mercenary Group before, and they told me some information." Ian explained.

"You recruited the Black Falcon mercenaries?" Sir Wilder suddenly became interested, "Then do you know what's going on with the Black Falcon mercenaries? I heard that Morgan died, and their There was also internal strife in the garrison? Have you heard anything?"

Then I know too well, I got the first-hand information on the death of the black falcon, and I got the first-hand information on the infighting of the black falcon mercenaries.
"I heard something, it seems that Sir Harrison did everything to compete for the position of grand master," Ian casually gave a conclusion that the other party was most likely to find out, and then quickly exposed the topic.

"Let's talk about our own problems first." Ian skillfully brought himself into Sir Wilder's knight alliance, "What is the basis for your thinking that the inner ghost comes from within us?"

Sure enough, after hearing Ian's question, Wilder didn't bother with the Black Falcon mercenary anymore, but began to answer Ian's question.

"After we separated from the Black Falcon Mercenary Group, our operation was leaked again. At that time, Sir Willy's younger brother, Sir Kahn, discovered the other party's clues, so we organized an operation, and only our own people participated in that operation. But it still fell through.”

"So, how many people participated in your operation?" Ian frowned. He doubted Sir Wilder's strength. Although there were not many ghosts in Whitewall City, they were all cavalry!
As far as the lightly armed guards Ian just saw in this manor, without the opponent's three or five times, they are basically delivering food, and even if they have the opponent's three or five times, they also need good tactical deployment and favorable terrain Have the power to fight.

"My son and I, our attendants, our family's 12 cavalry and 40 infantry, Sir Willie and his younger brother Sir Kahn, and their family's 4 cavalry and 15 infantry." Wilder began to introduce,

"As well as some knights I recruited through Martha before, I told Martha to make sure that the opponents are from the riverlands and those famous families outside the generation of the king's land."

"But you forgot to tell him not to bring in knights from families that are too powerful." Ian laughed.

"Oh," Wilder was a little embarrassed, "Sir Lucian, don't mention that again, okay?"

"Of course, we are allies now." Ian said very generously.

"Martha helped me to recruit some men, including Ser Beric Erol, the second son of Lady Sheila Erol from the Stormlands, and his six companions who were all cavalry.

Two sworn knights from House 'Green Apple' Fossoway of the New Barrel City of the Reach and their squires and a hedge knight and his band of mercenaries from House Bulwey also from the Reach - Four Freedoms rider.

And, you and your two reloaded attendants. "Wilder couldn't call Rolle and Case knights, but it's definitely inappropriate to count them as attendants to calculate their combat effectiveness. After all, all the knights in Wilder's team are not as well equipped as the two of them.

"And where are the others now? I didn't see them at the estate."

"We deployed most of the people in an abandoned village north of the manor, which is closer to the abandoned fishing village."

"So these are all your deployments? I'm afraid it's not safe enough?"
