Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game
Chapter 267 Oversized Mill
"How many people are here in Astapor?" Yunkai Grand Marshal Yakhaz Zo Yazak rode a sedan carried by four servants and looked down at the distance from the highest tower in Yunkai City. The army not far from the city turned sideways and asked its close aide, Fazaha Zo Faza.
Fazaha Zo Faza was a short man with a retracted jaw and two large front teeth, earning him the nickname 'Rabbit' (this was the man's nickname in the original novel). He is one of the three deputy commanders of Yunkai, like General Grazdo Zo Alc who is greeting Ian outside the city at this moment.
"It's consistent with the intelligence we got three days ago, about seventeen thousand people," Fazaha Zo Faza replied respectfully. "The Westerosi army is as easy to calculate as New Gith. They are all Each legion has three thousand men, and this time Count Darry brought a total of two Unsullied legions, two slave regiments, an auxiliary miscellaneous regiment, and two thousand Dothraki slave cavalry."
"You see," Fazaha Zo Faza said, pointing into the distance, "their formations during the march were quite clear, and the gaps between different groups and the gaps between different legions were very clear. strict."
"All the armies?" The drowsy-looking Grand Marshal raised his eyelids, "Didn't that boy from the Parr family (Meereen military nobles) say that the army under the Western barbarian except for the Unsullied? Are they all just a bunch of people who have been recruited for less than three months?"
"This" General Rabbit glanced at the army outside the city unnaturally, then looked at the Grand Marshal, and said with some uncertainty, "Maybe they just practiced formation and marching?"
"It's not impossible, right!" After telling this guess, General Rabbit suddenly realized it as if he had been awakened. He immediately sighed at his genius mind, and then said more firmly, "They must spend all their time. Used for this, just like the slaves we use for our Coliseum ceremonies on festival days."
"Anyway, there are too many," the Generalissimo did not let General Rabbit continue. "There are too many, and they come too fast."
"Earl Darry only divided his army into two marches. Most of his elite and main force are already here, and their marching speed indeed exceeded our expectations," General Rabbit nodded,
"The well-trained Iron Legion of Gith in ancient times could only travel about 5 leagues (24 kilometers) a day. In addition to the Unsullied, Ian's army also included a large number of new soldiers, miscellaneous soldiers, and baggage trains. Their march The speed has reached nearly 7 leagues per day."
As he said that, General Rabbit frowned, because Grazdan Mo Eraz, who had previously served as an envoy to Astapor as a Yunkai envoy, spoke highly of the new army under Lord Darry. in his mind.
However, he quickly shook his head. Grazdan was just an upstart who had never seen the world, and his judgment had no reference value.
Boom~
Suddenly, a clear and sharp metal knocking sound came from the distance, causing General Rabbit and the Grand Marshal to look down the city in an attempt to find the source of the sound.
Boom~
Soon, the voice sounded again.
This time, General Rabbit found the source of the sound, which was filled with three-headed red dragon flags on a black background. He knew that it was Ian's central army.
Immediately afterwards, the crisp and sharp metal knock sounded for the third time.
Almost at the same time, General Rabbit noticed that the army that stretched for nearly half a league on the Gujiskali coastal road all stopped in just half a minute.
"I hope that my army can complete supplies as soon as possible, and then I will start marching towards Meereen." After giving the order to the adjutant to camp where he was, Ian turned to the two Yunkai nobles who came to greet him and added, "Don't worry, I won't stay outside your city for too long."
Ian made this decision firstly to reassure Yunkai, and secondly because he really needed to march to Meereen as soon as possible.
The journey from Astapor to Yunkai is very safe and there will be almost no threats, so during this section of the journey Ian adopted a semi-rapid march, increasing the marching speed to the point where the Slave Iron Legion and the auxiliary army were on the way. The limit will not be reduced due to injuries and escape.
But on the journey from Yunkai to Meereen (at least the second half of the journey), Ian must march while ensuring that the army retains some strength, whether it is to prevent Meereen and the new Ji who are already in Meereen. Whether the Sri Lankan army rebelled or to prevent attacks from the mountain clans around Meereen, he had to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army while marching.
By then, his marching speed may drop to 22 to 27 kilometers per day, so it will take him about 10 days to reach Meereen.
Considering that after arriving in Meereen, he would have to deal with a series of problems within the alliance and between the cities of Lazarin, Ian did not want to waste even a minute at this moment.
Ian originally thought that the two nobles would breathe a sigh of relief after receiving this promise, but he did not expect that Grazdan Mo Eraz and 'General Shake-Ass' (this is also the nickname of this person in the original work) Grazdo ·Zo Alke frowned in unison.
"Your Excellency, don't you plan to enter the city?" Grazdan was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked.
"What? Do you still welcome me into the city?" Ian smiled half-heartedly.
"Of course, we have prepared a very grand welcome banquet for you. I also specially selected seven beautiful slave girls as gifts for you," Grazdan replied without thinking.
"And the gift our Generalissimo has prepared for you is a luxurious palace." The Butt-Shaking General added.
Nonsense, right? Ian frowned slightly, it was just a welcome banquet, what the hell were you giving away a slave girl and a palace? How many days do you wish I could stay in Yunkai?
No city would want an army to stop at its door, let alone an army nearly three times the size of the city's defenders.
While talking with the two Yunkai nobles, Ian was also using his falcon to get a bird's eye view of the city.
Yunkai is slightly larger than Astapor. It is initially estimated that the city's population should be around 120,000. If you include the slaves in the pyramid, it should be a bit more.
Like Astapor, Yunkai faces the sea to the north. Although Yunkai's port is surrounded by east and west walls like Astapor, there is also a wall between its port and the inner city, so if If someone attacks the city from the sea, it will not be as easy as attacking Astapor.
In addition, Yunkai's city wall is far more like a city wall than Astapor. It is about 8 meters high and ranges in thickness from 3 to 5 meters. As for Slaver's Bay, even the nine Free Trade Cities or Victoria For Stroll, this is indeed a 'city'. It’s no wonder that when Grazdan met Daenerys for the first time in the original book, he started with “Old and glorious Yunkai, Queen of Cities, our walls are strong and strong”.
But what if ‘Fire Kissed’ Ygritte pointed at Yunkai and asked Ian the same question she asked Jon Snow, ‘Is this a castle? ’ Ian, who had seen the ancient city walls of Xiangyang and Xi’an, would tell her without hesitation that this was just an oversized mill.
The current situation is like the owner of a mill. When he met a group of bandits passing by his mill, instead of providing food to the bandits as quickly as possible and telling them to get out as soon as possible, he instead invited the bandit leader to come in and share the food. dinner, and even prepared a room for each other in the mill.
"You really want my army to stay in Yunkai for a longer time?" Ian narrowed his eyes.
At this moment, the two Yunkai nobles were stunned. They looked at each other at the same time, but they immediately looked back the moment their eyes made contact.
For a moment, Ian seemed to understand their expressions. Was that confusion?
"Of course, we are allies militarily, and you are my friend. Gith has always been warm and trusting to their friends." Grazdan is worthy of being Yunkai's number one envoy. In the original work, he once persuaded Volantis to include The three consuls, including the Elephants, unanimously agreed to declare war on Meereen. He quickly realized the meaning of Ian's words and emphasized the word trust.
"Yes, Yunkai has always been enthusiastic about his friends." General Shake-Butt also quickly agreed.
Ian stopped talking, and his eyes just looked back and forth on the faces of Grazdan and Butt-Shaking General. No, it should be more accurate, because Ian's eyes were almost unscrupulous, condescending and aggressive. Sexually, even the most polite nobleman would fly into a rage at such an affront.
As expected, Ian quickly discovered Grazdan's dissatisfaction, but for some reason, Grazdan suppressed this emotion rationally and did not express it excessively.
Ian guessed that this was probably because the cake he had previously drawn for Grazdan, "Promoting the Eraz family to a high nobility by virtue of their military exploits," was too big.
On the other side, the look on the face of the butt-shaking general, one of the three lieutenants of the generalissimo, is intriguing. This person was neither angry nor refuting. He gave Ian the feeling more like he was guilty? Still afraid?
"Perhaps the banquet can wait until after our triumphant return," Ian temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and withdrew his gaze, "A qualified commander will not abandon his army during the march and go have fun alone."
This is an excuse that Ian has long thought of to deal with the invitation from Yunkai or Meereen. Although Ian does not think that they will really play any tricks at this time, in case there are players operating in these two cities Woolen cloth?
If he enters the city, there will be many more places to guard against than in the military camp. Before solving the big problem of Drogo, Ian does not want to cause trouble.
But now, it seems that it is no longer a matter of whether I want to cause trouble or not.
He must figure out what these two Yunkai nobles, or the two Yunkai forces behind them, are planning, otherwise they might make the same mistake as the Stranger Temple.
"In that case." Grazdan hesitated, "Then let's celebrate after your victory."
"Uh." General Shake-Butt noticed that both Ian and Grazdan were looking at him, so he could only smile and said, "I will convey your reply to the Grand Marshal."
"By the way," General Shake-Butt continued, "I wonder how long you plan to stay in Yunkai?"
"Didn't I say that? I will leave after completing the supplies." Ian spread his hands, "If possible, it is best to set off tomorrow."
"I understand," General Shake-Butt nodded, "I will convey your request to the Grand Marshal. Please allow me to take my leave first."
"Say hello to Grand Marshal Yakhaz Zo Yazzak for me." Ian greeted politely.
Ian has no intention of taking the initiative to meet the 'Generalissimo'. If the other party wants to see him, then he can go out of the city to meet him.
The 4,000 troops Yunkai promised to join the war will not set out with Ian to Meereen because they have not yet gathered the manpower.
According to the intelligence that Ian has obtained, Yunkai's participating army consists of one thousand crossbowmen drawn from the city defense army, fifteen hundred cannon fodder recruited from the serfs, and the 'Second Son Regiment' with five hundred cavalry. , the 'Storm Crow Regiment' with 500 cavalry and the 'Bloody Hand Regiment' with 500 sailors.
The last mercenary group, Ian, has not been seen in the original work. I heard from spies that it was originally a pirate group active in the Gulf of Sorrow, but was later absorbed by a certain chamber of commerce in Volantis.
As for why they were hired by Yunkai to participate in the war against the Horse King, Ian still does not know.
"Then I'll go back to the city first," Grazdan said after the general shook his butt and left. "I wonder if you will be free later? I still have some questions to ask you."
"Why later?" Ian said just as Grazdan turned around, "I'm very free now."
"this"
"Or do you have any reason to leave in a hurry?" Ian didn't wait for Grazdan to think of an excuse, and then said, "For example, do you need to report the details of our meeting to someone?"
Grazdan blinked and looked away.
"Azan zo Qua'gz, the richest man in Yunkai." Ian spoke again, "You are his."
Grazdan's heart skipped a beat.
"It is also because of his instructions that you wish me to stay in Yunkaidu."
"No!" This time, Grazdan blurted out without thinking, "This has nothing to do with him."
Immediately, he seemed to notice his gaffe and turned his head away.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you," Grazdan looked at Ian again. He nodded and took a deep breath. "You have guessed it right. I am in a hurry to leave to see Lord Yazan. but.
I hope you can stay in Yunkai for a long time but it has nothing to do with Lord Yazan." Grazdan hesitated for a while, but still said it, "Actually, this is because of what you mentioned before about finding an opportunity for me to share my military achievements. There are some things I need time to work out.”
In the future, if the scenes are consistent and have not been switched, one chapter of 4,000 words will be updated every day to avoid so many chapter names.
