Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

"I have some other requirements. If you agree, I can accept this deal." Ian continued.

"You mention it."

"I want the 8,600 Unsullied in stock now. In the next two years, I will borrow Astapor's military camp to station my Unsullied. Their food and grass will be provided by Astapor. Of course, I’ll pay for the grain.”

"This is against the rules." Krazny hesitated.

"The rules are not important. If you keep the Unsullied until two years later and sell them to me, you will still be responsible for their food and accommodation for the past two years, right? According to my plan, you will at least have enough money left over for food. .”

"Uh" Krazny was startled, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed like this was the case, "But... why are you in a hurry to get these Unsullied now? If you plan to station them in Astapor, then Wouldn’t it be more convenient to get the goods together after two years?”

"I don't plan to wait here for two years in vain," Ian shook his head. "During this time, I will go to the Lazarin area in the north from time to time to train troops and capture slaves there."

"Why are you catching slaves?"

"This involves my second request. I want to build a shipyard and other factories on the east bank of the Worm River. I need to recruit migrant workers from the villages on the river bank and the power to log in the southern mountains." Ian stretched out two Pointing a finger, "I will build my own fleet... Of course, they will dock at the port of Astapor."

Yesterday, after the fleet arrived in Astapor, Ian immediately used the falcon to survey the city of Astapor and the surrounding terrain and population distribution.

Astapó is located on the estuary on the west bank of the Worm River, facing the sea to the north, facing a small plain across the Worm River to the east, and the primitive Ghiscari Mountains to the southwest.

The city's population is about 60,000 to 80,000, and I heard that two-thirds of them are slaves. To the east of the city, there are some villages dotted on both sides of the Worm River. Ian initially estimated that the total population there should be between 80,000 and 120,000, of which more than half are serfs.

The cultivated population outside the city is not enough to feed the entire city of Astapor, so the city's food supply is very dependent on imports.

To the north of Astapor City is the port, and there is no city wall on that side. If a fleet attacks the city from the sea, it will basically be in an undefended state. And its other three sides are equally vulnerable. The walls are short and thin, with no defensive facilities at all.

Perhaps as the famous Spartan saying goes, warriors are the city's strongest defense. With their Unsullied Ones, the Astaporians never paid attention to the city's defense.

Of course, another reason why they did not worry about the city's defense was probably that the city of Astapor itself lacked value and was unattractive to any potential invaders.

Yes, this is why Ian’s evaluation of Astapor City is worthless.

The city lacks resources, lacks population, lacks defenses, and is easily choked with food.

Although the mountains to its south are undeveloped and have huge economic potential, without the people and time to clear the land, the potential cannot be converted into value.

Considering that taking the Unsullied backhand to capture Astapor would greatly damage his credibility and arouse the vigilance of the other two cities in Slaver's Bay, Ian finally gave up on capturing Astapor as his first core base. idea.

In Slaver's Bay, the only city that qualifies as Ian's 'core of control' is Meereen.

Therefore, before trying to capture Meereen, it is the best option to obtain the right to garrison troops in Astapor and acquire the development rights of valuable land near Astapor. This way, we do not need to bear the reputation of treachery and Worried about arousing the hostility of Yunkai and Meereen, he could still use Astapor's mature Unsullied training system to work in vain.

"This involves industries that have nothing to do with us. I can't make decisions for those good people." Krazny shook his head directly this time. If the delivered Unsullied are stationed in Astapor, he still has the final say. Regarding Ian's request to open a shipyard and other factories, he could not convince other good people.

"I insist on my request," Ian said firmly. "If you can't convince the other good ones, then I will have no choice but to buy these Unsullied ones with gold and then leave Astapor."

"This" Krazny hesitated, glanced at Ian's dragon again, and finally could only grit his teeth and said, "Okay, I will try to convince them."

"I'm waiting for news from you."

After returning to the Breeze's Kiss, Celia sent Daenerys back to her room before coming out to find Ian. She just went to the Pride Square dressed as Daenerys's maid, and she didn't say a word the whole time.

"Can the deal be concluded?" Celia asked.

"No." Ian replied decisively.

"Why? Combined with dragons and the art of training dragons, can the good masters of Astapor withstand this temptation? I think even if your request will harm the interests of some good masters, they will not give up this and get the dragon. opportunity, right?"

"Of course they can't resist the temptation, but the question is, who will be the Dragon King?" Ian shrugged.

"Isn't it?" Celia said and was stunned. Krazny Mo Nacroz is the good master with the most Unsullied people in Astapor and the most powerful one. But this does not mean that other benefactors are willing to sacrifice their own interests to give him a chance to become the Dragon King!

It’s not even certain that other benefactors will interfere with it!

"So what you did today was to sow discord between Krazny Mo Nakroz and other good people?" Celia began to understand Ian's intention immediately, "When you put the dragon in front of him , but when he had to miss the dragon due to the interference of other good masters, his emotions towards those colleagues would turn into resentment?"

"Eight good lords are too many for Astapor," Ian finished, without telling Celia the next plan in detail, and instead asked, "How is Daenerys's mood? "

"Very low, very low." Celia paused, "To be honest, I don't understand why you had to let her go with you today. I clearly said that I could help you convince her to stay on the ship."

"Besides," Celia continued, "even if we take her with us, you can completely prevent the slave traders from telling them about the killing of babies and puppies. We already know this information, and you don't have to Let them say it again.”

"Then why do you think I did this?" Ian asked with a smile.

"Are you irritating her?"

"You see, as long as you are willing to use your brain, you can always find the answer."
