Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 80 Corian Susman
"We beat and tortured them, and found out that the rebels had actually broken up at the crossroads, and some remained near there, while those with Valyrian steel swords went south.

So the first mate of the Laughing Lion and I decided to split up. I led the men to wipe out the remaining traitors at the crossroads, while he went to King's Landing to track down the trail of the other group.

Until a week ago, I received news from the first mate that he had found clues to the other party, and those traitors might be hiding in the flea nest in King's Landing. "

"And what about the other mate?" asked Sir Granson.

"I don't know either. It stands to reason that he should be waiting for me here. Maybe something happened, but fortunately, there are some clues in his letter to me."

"Then why don't you go to the Red Castle to ask for help? Isn't Her Majesty the Queen a member of your Lannister family?" Granson asked puzzled.

After breakfast the next day, Ian met the person he wanted to see as he wished.

About six or seven sailors from their group came to Ian's courtyard, and Ian invited the leader and his first and second mates into his hall.

After entering the house, the leader took off his hood, revealing a thin and weather-beaten face. His light blue eyes looked at Ian, revealing a trace of scrutiny.

"Sir Lucian Lannister, son of Sir Jillian Lannister," Ian introduced himself first, and then pointed to Granson next to him, "This is Sir Granson, the captain of my guard .”

"Collian Susman, the captain of the Dance of Shayara, this is my first mate Sudor, and this is second mate Burris, I think you already know him, after all, he is the one who asked me to come to see you Corian looked at Ian, "I heard that you have something to ask us for help?"

"Sit down, friends, I've got some good wine for you, it's a long story."

In the following time, Ian told Corian and the others the story he had told Granson before.

In fact, the reason why Ian told Granson before was to make Granson question and perfect the loopholes in the story.

After all, he and Granson already had a stable employment relationship, even if there were problems with his story, it would not affect his service to him, but the version of the story in front of Corian and the others had to be perfect.

"So." After Ian finished telling the story, "If you can help me with my counter-insurgency activities, I will eventually pay you a reward of 200 gold dragons."

"200 silver deer or not? I'm sorry I didn't hear clearly." Burliss said in shock, this is a number beyond his imagination.

Although he is now engaged in the most profitable high-sea trade in this era, even if they sail from Westeros to Yidi City on the coast of the Jade Sea, a sailor can get two or three golden dragons at most, even if he He was the second officer on the ship, and he only got less than 20 golden dragons at most in a nearly one-year voyage.

"200 golden dragons, if the final contribution you make is large enough, this number can continue to increase." Ian said with certainty.

"How long do we need to serve you?" Burlis continued to ask, if the time is not long, then this can be regarded as a very good deal.

"It depends on how quickly we find those traitors, maybe a week, maybe two weeks, but there is a high probability that it will not exceed two weeks." Ian promised.

In his plan, if he couldn't find a clear clue within three days, he would buy the fourth clue in the mall, because delaying it would affect his next trip to Pentos. "

"But why us?" This time it was Captain Corian who asked the same question as Granson, "Why don't you just go to the Red Keep to borrow troops? Aren't you a Lannister?"

"Because my father died in the previous rebellion, and my father and mother were secretly married. My mother is a commoner and cannot be recognized by the Lannister family. I need that Valyrian steel sword , Only after finding that sword, Uncle Tywin will face up to my value, thus allowing me to have a true Lannister identity.

If I go to the Red Keep like this, I will only get jokes from Jaime, who told me before we set sail that we can't find the sword and if I go to him like this, let him take The House Guard went to retrieve the Valyrian steel sword.Then all this will be nothing to me, the glory will be his, and I will always be an unacknowledged Lannister without a father. "

"You mean Jaime the 'Kingslayer'? Oh, sorry, no doubt I offended."

"Yes, he is my cousin."

"He may have left King's Landing, following the king's team. They set off early this morning, and they are said to be going to Winterfell. Well, of course, that's not important. The important thing is that we accept your request, and we will help you Let's fight, sir, I hope you will not forget the friendship we formed when you were down."

"How many people can you provide?"

"The 22 elite sailors on the Dance of Shayara, and other people who are not good at fighting, probably have this number, if you need it." Corian replied.

"All I need is soldiers. If there are no accidents, I shouldn't need your other people." Ian smiled. These people were a complete surprise to him.

Next, Ian deployed everyone. He divided the newly recruited sailors into two groups. One group was still commanded by Captain Corian himself. He rented a house next to Ian's house, and was ready to cooperate with Ian's needs at any time. action.

The other group was led by the chief mate, under the temporary command of the twenty-fifth boy Sir Grantson, and entered the port together with Grantson's mercenary team.

In view of the fact that the number of remaining players has reached 69, the vast majority of players should have discovered the problem with the opening equipment, so Ian adopted two strategies in the net he cast in King's Landing Port.

The first is naturally the same fishing as at the Crossroads Hotel. He asked a mercenary to hang around the port wearing the conspicuous opening equipment of a mercenary knight. The player's attention can always lure the opponent to make a move.

The second plan is to focus on those ships from Pentos, and if anyone on those ships disembarks into the city and heads to Flea Street, look for opportunities to prey on them.

In order to cooperate with the second plan, Ian asked Denzel's adjutant "Naughty Duanzi" to bring Denzel's mercenary team into the flea nest. Similarly, his people also set up a flea nest in the flea nest. The trap of the 'hedge knight'.

In addition, Ian summoned Dorian the Black Falcon who had completed the task of "sending Simon away" and the 20 masters he brought to King's Landing. Half of these people were scattered by Ian to various parts of King's Landing to inquire about news. , and the other half lived in Ian's house, responsible for Ian's safety.
