Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 58 Red Dragon and Black Dragon
"Of course, that's why we are still recruiting people. Sir Simon has calculated that it takes 12 to 16 days for the caravan to travel from the fishing village to the vicinity of Whitewall City. It has only been ten days since the caravan left the fishing village. During the time, Martha can still recruit people for us.

Moreover, if the other party still has not finished transporting the treasure this trip, we will have the next 12 to 16 days to prepare. "

"Ser Simon of Darry? You didn't mention him before."

"Oh, that's because he's not on standby under my command now, he's already returned to Darry City, he asked me to inform him before the action, and he can mobilize about 30 people to join the battle.

Although his people are mainly infantry, they are all elite standing army, which is very important for our infantry line to form combat effectiveness. However, correspondingly, he asked for [-]% of the price for the treasure of Blackfyre. "Wilder said this, and decided to take this opportunity to tell 'Sir Lucian' the entire distribution of benefits.
"As for the rest, I promised [-]% to the three hedge knights, and let them distribute it themselves."

"So you reserved [-]% for yourself before I came?" Ian looked at Sir Wilder with interest.

"No, according to the original plan, Viri and I will each get [-]%, and the remaining [-]% ​​will be shared equally by other members of the Cavaliers League."

"Those people get paid for not taking part in the action?"

"They participated in most of the previous operations. And this last time, I didn't inform them. It wasn't their fault. At least it wasn't the fault of anyone other than the ghost." Sir Wilde took the responsibility to himself body.

"What a just leader," Ian sighed, "and you gave me [-]% of theirs?"

"No, my plan is to remove the share for you, and we will distribute the rest according to the original proportion. After all, according to the distribution plan when we cooperated with the Black Falcon mercenaries, we only had You can get [-]%."

"This is why you insist on waiting for the ghosts of Whitewall City to gather all the treasures before you act? After all, if you directly raid the abandoned fishing village, what you can get according to this ratio is really a little sorry for your six months. I paid for it." Ian just finished his evaluation, and suddenly froze there.

"What did you think of?"

"That's not right, I think it's not right several times!" Ian's face changed several times in an instant.

"What is it?"

"Gather the treasure" Ian whispered, then raised his head suddenly and looked at Wilder, "If it's you, if you found the treasure of Blackflame, after confirming that you want to transfer the treasure to the abandoned fishing village, and there is a boat to pick it up situation, what would you do?"

Sir Wilde looked at Ian in a daze.

"I said something is wrong." Ian took a deep breath and gave up his plan to guide Sir Wilder, "If I found the treasure, I would definitely transport the treasure to the fishing village as quickly as possible.

Of course, the amount of treasures is too large. It would be too conspicuous if we set up a caravan with thirty or forty carts at a time, but we can obviously divide it into several caravans for transportation. After all, it takes time for this kind of thing to happen. The shorter the less exposed.

In other words, when you monitor that fishing village, you should see caravans coming in and out all the time. "

"No, apart from the caravan at the beginning, no one else entered that fishing village." Sir Wilde shook his head.

"What does this mean?"

Sir Wilder looked bewildered.

"This means that this is all their hands!" Ian raised his voice.

"Isn't this just right? There are more than 20 people in the caravan, and there are 7 people in the abandoned fishing village. If the other party puts more than ten people guarding the place where the treasure is, isn't it just the camp we discovered?" Is the scale close to 50 people?" Wilder still didn't understand what Ian wanted to say.

"Then how do they deal with the supplies they plundered in the past few months? A bandit cavalry without a fixed camp, a bandit cavalry that you can't even find the shadow of each other, how do they deal with what they plundered? supplies?"

"Well, I haven't thought about this issue." Sir Wilder was a little embarrassed. He looked back at his good brother Sir Willy, and found that the other party was also in a daze, and his mood inexplicably improved a lot.

"However, what does this have to do with the Blackfyre Treasure?" Wilder turned back to look at Ian, hoping to get an explanation from him.

"If the ghosts of White Wall City manage to dispose of the stolen goods every time, then there is only one possibility, that is, they still have several companions pretending to be caravans. Every time they make a vote, they will The goods are provided to those fake caravans, so that they can transport things away and sell them.

And in the presence of such caravans, would they not use them when they found the Blackfyre treasure and were about to transfer the treasure?Impossible, they will devote all their manpower to the transfer of the treasure.

In other words, after they have deployed corresponding defenses in the fishing village and the original treasure location, at least they can form several caravans of the size you have seen. "

"But there is no second caravan in the abandoned fishing village." Sir Wilde laughed.

"That means that these caravans don't exist at all! The ghosts of White Wall City are only those cavalry who are fighting against you! They have no other helpers, and those people are all their staff!"

"Then how did they deal with the looted goods?" Sir Wilde felt a mess in his mind.

"It takes so long for them to transport even such a small amount of treasure, how can they handle the goods that are much larger than the treasure?" Ian asked, "And if they can't deal with the goods that they robbed, then they will You can only hoard the goods."

"Impossible! There are no deep mountains and old forests near White Wall City. There are only a few sparse forests in that area, and the surrounding area is a flat river. It is absolutely impossible for them to have a camp that we can't find!" Sir Wilde said firmly.

Ian glanced at Sir Wilder: "If you hadn't described the details of the abandoned fishing village so clearly, I would almost suspect that the whole thing was a farce directed and performed by you!"

"Self-directed and self-acted?" Wilder froze for a moment, and then asked loudly, "You suspect that the ghost of White Wall City is mine?" Where has he suffered such humiliation in his life?At this moment, he even wondered why he was so restrained and didn't directly challenge Ian to a duel.

"No," Ian shook his head, "I said almost, which means... I believe in your innocence and honor, Sir Wilder." Ian said in a more pleasing way of saying it.

Sir Wilder's expression improved slightly.

"Besides," Ian showed his signature smile, "After eliminating your suspicion, I think the truth has surfaced."
