Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

"Your idea is quite interesting." Ian chuckled.

"Isn't it?" Celia asked back, "This conclusion is consistent with the original conclusion that the Generalissimo tried to blame Yazan for the murder. The Generalissimo has already made arrangements with someone who can take over your army. Plot, and only Yazan will be liquidated after your death. In this way, they not only got rid of their political opponents in Yunkai, but also avoided a war with the Horse King."

“So in your opinion, who are the people who can do this?”

"Femor?" Celia guessed it first.

"No, he does not have such a status. Even if Lysix is ​​on his side, he can only control two slave iron legions at most. He cannot get involved with the elite Unsullied and the Guards Cavalry. Even Those two slave legions may not completely listen to them, because all the centurions in the legion are personally selected by me, my students."

"That's Rohr? He is the chief deputy commander of the army. After your death, he should take over the command." Celia rejected the possibility midway through her words.

"But Rohr doesn't have much reputation in the army. Whether it's Fermor, Lesix, or Quigo Khal who commands the cavalry, they may not obey his command. And Rohr is your NPC, he It’s impossible to betray you.”

"Then" Celia frowned, and finally shook her head after a long time, "It seems that there is no one who can do this? If you die in Yunkai, at this time, if any of your lieutenants dare to come out to stop other Anyone who avenges you will be torn to pieces by angry others."

"Yes, because I have never considered what will happen after my death, so within our system, I am the only one with absolute authority, and there is no one with enough prestige to be called my successor. . Even Daenerys, our legal queen, if she can get half of my power after my death, her protagonist halo will be full."

"In this case." Celia fell into deep thought again.

"But have you ever thought that for the Grand Marshal of Yunkai, his collaborators don't need to control my army after my death? In fact, this person only needs to be able to advise my lieutenants to only punish the 'culprit' Ya It is enough if you do not want to vent my death on the whole of Yunkai, or divide my army as soon as I die, causing a civil war and preventing us from attacking Yunkai."

"Roll and Khal Quego are your NPCs. They will not be traitors. In the same way, Gray Worm and the heroes who command the first and second legions of the Unsullied respectively have no possibility of betrayal. Therefore, traitors It can only be Fermor and Lysix? Maybe they think that their two slave legions, plus Yunkai’s army and Yunkai’s mercenaries, have the strength to fight us?”

"The Unsullied were trained by them personally. They are very aware of the quality gap between the Slave Iron Legion and the Unsullied. I don't think they would make such a stupid judgment." Ian denied it again.

"Then there's no one left?"

"Isn't there another one in front of me?"

"Me?" Celia showed an extremely shocked expression, and her face suddenly turned pale.

"I don't have an army." Celia immediately defended, "I don't understand how you could suspect me."

"I once gave an order to the Unsullied, and their first obedience changed from my harpy finger to me. But if one day I am suddenly murdered, then who will they obey? ?”

"This guy with that whip?"

"So, who out of all of us has the best chance of getting the whip as soon as I die?"

"No, no, no," Celia said three times in a row, "This is too ridiculous."

"Not only can you get the whip immediately, but all my cronies also know about our relationship. As long as your words are right, you still have a high probability of convincing Rolle and Quigo Khal to turn to you. Allegiance.

You only need to point the finger at the 'real murderer' Yazan, the richest man in Yunkai, as soon as possible, and kill him to avenge me. Then you can naturally take over most of my forces and use Daenerys' trust in you. Let her appoint you as her new Hand of the Queen. "

"Coincidentally," Ian continued, "the number of players is now 21. After you backstab me, although all your points will be deducted due to the alliance mechanism, because the number of players has dropped to less than 20, You will not face the threat of the Faceless Men with zero score. It seems that there is no one here who is more suitable to be this conspirator than you."

"It seems like a really good explanation, but..." Celia suddenly laughed after being silent for a long time, then picked up the round orange cat that had been fed from her feet, and suddenly shocked Yi En's face said, "I have always been in your sight. How can I complete such a huge conspiracy behind your back?"

No, I withdrew my monitoring of you when I transformed into a human. If you keenly noticed that I had not possessed the orange cat for a long time during the interaction with the orange cat, you There was enough time to commit the crime, Ian retorted in his mind.

"Besides, there is a backstab judgment in the alliance system. If I really planned to kill you secretly, the system should have already judged me as a backstab, right?" Celia spoke again.

Eh? How could I forget this? Ian blinked.

He had previously given up monitoring Celia because he was a shape-shifting human, so he subconsciously listed Celia as the number one suspect, and even forced Celia to 'confess' her own crime in a playful way.

But Ian forgot that the alliance mechanism itself has a warning for the mutual shady behavior between allies - that is, the judgment of backstabbing.

It is true that the reliability of the system's alliance mechanism is not high, and there are even some suspicions of encouraging backstabbing. However, perhaps in order to make players feel that the alliance mechanism is at least somewhat useful, such a system was planned and designed to make the alliance players try to interact with each other before. Yin will be judged by Mingpai's backstab.

If a player does something that harms the interests of an ally, it is not clear to what extent he will be judged as backstabbing Ian, but the act of teaming up with outsiders to arrange a killing plan and trying to seize the opponent's power is definitely a backstab.

Since the system does not show that the alliance between the two parties has broken down, it proves that Celia is really innocent.

"That's right, then this possibility has been ruled out," Ian casually drew a cross after Celia's name, then he raised his head and asked matter-of-factly, "By the way, we are just deducing various scenarios. I'm used to thinking about the worst possible situation, so you don't mind, right?"

do not mind? I almost lost half my life in fear from you!

"If you are excluded," Ian pretended not to notice Celia's expression, "then Fermor and Lexix are the only remaining suspects. Wait, there seems to be something going on."

Yunkai

After 'Ass-shaking General' Grazdo Zo Arc returned to Yunkai, he did not immediately go to the tower of Grand Marshal Yakhaz Zo Arc, but after dismissing most of the accompanying cavalry , led a few people and headed straight to the south of the city.

The sparrow that Ian had transformed into followed the Butt-Shaking General's team at a very short distance.

After a while, he found that the other party had arrived in front of a warehouse?

"Sir, why are you back so soon?" A man who looked like a warehouse manager hurriedly ran out to greet him.

"Did you count it out?" General Shake-Butt asked eagerly instead of answering the steward's question.

The warehouse steward only hesitated for a moment before being whipped to the ground by General Butt-Shaking General, leaving a clear bloody mark on his face.

"Sir," the warehouse manager staggered up and said with a smile, "Sir, don't worry, we have sent enough slaves to the countryside to collect food. It will take a week at most, no, no, five days at most. , they can come back with the food and grass you asked for."

"Five days?" General Shake-the-Butt was furious and whipped the warehouse manager again. "That damn Earl Darry refused the invitation to the city for a banquet and the gifts from the wise masters. He didn't even have one day. Don’t want to stop in Yunkai!”

"What should we do about this?"

"What to do is what you should consider! I am going to report to the Grand Marshal now. You'd better prepare the food and fodder that Earl Darry needs within three days. If you exceed this time, you will definitely die before me." After the butt-shaking general said these words, he patted his horse and left.

"Bah! Bastard! If you hadn't been greedy for profit and secretly sold the military rations prepared by Yunkai for the Astapor people to that Volantis businessman who offered a high price, how could things have happened today?!" Looking at the butt shake The general walked away, and the warehouse manager spat on the ground angrily.

"And you," the steward turned around and scolded his son, "if you hadn't told Lord Grazdo about the matter, he would never have known about the Volantis man who was buying grain at a high price. !”

"But, Dad," the son in charge could only apologize, "Originally, we calculated the time well. Astapor's army should not arrive in Yunkai until about six or seven days. At that time, our food collection The team has already collected enough new food and returned. Who would have thought that the people of Astapor could run so fast?"

"That's all, that's all." The steward waved his hand impatiently and returned to the warehouse with his son.

After Ian Sparrow hesitated for a moment, he did not choose to enter the warehouse, but took off again and caught up with the general who left.

Camp outside the city

"What's wrong? The expression is so weird?" Celia asked hurriedly when she saw Ian suddenly showed a dumbfounded expression after being silent for a while.

"I just suddenly felt like a clown." Ian came back to his senses and scratched his hair, "Do you know what I heard just now while following the little bird that shook my butt?"

How could I possibly know?

"The mystery why General Shake-Butt wanted to invite me into the city has been solved. Including the panic and fear he showed at that time and the reason why he repeatedly confirmed to me how long I planned to stay in Yunkai." Ian turned over a page Roll your eyes,

"A few days ago, this guy, together with the manager of Yunkai's granary, secretly sold the military rations that Yunkai prepared for us to a Volantis merchant. Their newly sent food collection team has not returned yet, and they can't get the food now. Food has come out, so General Shake-Ass is eager for me to stay in Yunkai for a few more days so that he can fill up this hole."

"So he was panicking not because of your scrutiny, nor was he afraid of you, but if you rushed to complete the supplies and set off, his crime would be discovered by the generalissimo?" Celia quickly understood. Ian means,

"So that's the case, so no matter how we deduced it just now, we couldn't get a conclusion that can perfectly explain all the doubts because the main premise of the entire derivation - the conspiracy of the Grand Marshal Yunkai against you does not exist in itself."

"Guards." Ian did not answer, but shouted outside.

Guard Captain Yada heard the sound and walked in again.

"Send spies into Yunkai to investigate something," Ian ordered Yada. "Just recently, the large granary in the southern city of Yunkai sold a huge batch of goods to a Volantis merchant. The food. Not all the food necessarily leaves that warehouse. Anyway, please help me find out the details of this transaction.

Including the details of the Volantis merchant, his motivation for purchasing this batch of grain, and all the information related to this transaction that can be found. Send a few more people there and tell them that they can report back to me while they are investigating. "

"Yes." Yada left quickly without any unnecessary nonsense after receiving the order.

After seeing Yada off, Ian sat down at the table again, picked up the manuscript paper and started reading it.

"Hey, what are you still doing?" Celia asked strangely, "Hasn't the truth been revealed?"

"For a rigorous deduction, this can only be regarded as a few new clues and a new possibility. We can only bring this possibility back to the original bifurcation point and deduce it again, and make sure there are no other doubts. It’s the end.”

"Did you do the same thing when you were in Pantos?" Although Celia didn't want Ian to always mention what happened at that time, she couldn't help but ask.

"No, I didn't have so much time at that time." Ian paused and said without further explanation, "It's different now. According to General Shake-Butt, we need to stay here for at least four or five days to complete the supplies. I just think of this deductive reasoning as a way to kill time."

Ian did not tell the truth. In fact, he was not killing time. The reason why he chose to continue was more because these clues were still full of doubts. But now the context of the whole matter has been clarified, so he does not intend to let Celia continue to participate, which will only slow down his thinking speed.

Moreover... Ian actually did not rely on the supplies provided by Yunkai at all. The food he carried this time was completely enough for him to march directly to Meereen. Asking Yunkai to provide food was just a matter of blackmail.

The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass have gone first. How could he have people get stuck on the food and grass?

PS: I made a lot of compromises for the sake of performance, deleted a lot of more complicated plots and was a little constrained in writing. But after this sick leave, the number of subscriptions has dropped to one or two hundred anyway, so I no longer consider my grades or change my style.

Another note: I will definitely finish this book and do what I say, but the results are really poor, so the ideas about the Land of Shadows, the Land of Eternal Winter and the Land of Ceremony in the outline can only be discussed by chance (I thought before I have already thought about it from the beginning, but Game of Thrones is too niche, so I may not be able to write it.) The number of words in the finished book will most likely not exceed 1.2 million (unless the performance suddenly improves, but Probably impossible...)
