Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

Chapter 289 The old dream of the empire

Seeing that no one among the great masters of Meereen raised any objections, Ian nodded with satisfaction before continuing to speak.

"Your initial level is still fourth class, but during the next month of training, I will temporarily give you the food supply treatment of second class slaves. I will inspect your training results after one month, and those who fail will Will be filled into the death camp, outstanding ones will be directly promoted to third-class slaves, and other qualified ones can continue to stay in the reorganized new army.

After we defeat the centaurs, everyone in the new army will be directly promoted to third-class slaves! I will then give you houses and allow you to keep the spoils of battle as personal property, and your masters shall not plunder them. I will give you the right to take wives, and your wives shall be yours alone, and your master shall not defile them. Your eldest sons will inherit your slave rank, and your bloodline will never return to abasement.

In addition, you will also have the same military merit system as my slave Iron Legion. The most outstanding among you will be promoted to second-class slaves after the war. Noble slaves, you will have better possessions than ordinary Gith free folk. life and greater power, the humble fourth-class slaves will respect you as they respect their masters.

Go talk to your instructors, talk to the slave Iron Legion soldiers in the nearby camp, and ask them what they got. You will find that unlike your Master or any leader you have ever encountered, I never make false promises. As long as you complete my orders, you will definitely receive the promised rewards.

If you want to get all this, you only need to complete the following training, and then maintain your formation when facing the centaurs, raise your spears high, shoot the crossbows in your hands at them, and let them fall in front of your position. The number of corpses in front of your position will determine your merits. "

The military merit system designed by Ian is not about beheading. After all, this system only targets the slave Iron Legion and the reorganized new army. They are all on the defensive in Ian's plan. The people they kill will definitely fall to them. In front of the position, it is more appropriate to calculate directly as a small phalanx composed of hundreds of people. If they let the phalanx scatter in order to grab heads, then the problem will be big.

As for whether too many people will be promoted in the end? Don't make trouble, Ian has the final right of interpretation. Can the cakes drawn be eaten by people?

After completing his inspection of the slave training camp, Ian returned to the city of Meereen. He changed the Pyramid of the Parr family into his temporary palace, and at the same time moved his intelligence department headquarters in Meereen from the Bronze Gate Inn to this place. In the pyramid.

Since the intelligence department moved from the dark to the open under the banner of Ian, their work efficiency has improved a lot again. In just one week, the most important information about the great masters of Meereen and their family forces has been collected. The political factions within Meereen, the relationship between various forces, the situation of the Temple of Holy Grace, etc., have all been summarized and sent to Ian's desk.

At the same time, outstanding gladiators in various major arenas were bought by Mi Da and served as the organization's thugs.

These gladiators may not be useful on the battlefield, but when placed in the city of Meereen, their combat effectiveness is extremely fierce. Together with the mercenaries, killers and criminals recruited by Mi Da, his power is gradually expanding and controlling all the neighborhoods in the city.

If Ian declares his occupation of Meereen soon, he will not have to worry about being harassed by the Sons of the Harpy like Daenerys was in Meereen in the original book. Any suspicious elements who want to show up in this city will Gotta die.

And out of some bad taste, Ian named his Meereen intelligence station Sons of the Harpy, so that if the Great Master wanted to cause trouble, they might have to find a new name.

This afternoon, Ian has been looking through information about Meereen. The reason is very simple. He hopes to find someone in Meereen who is like Grazdan Zo Eraz or Asta of Yunkai. Agents like Bo's Fermor Mo Nakroze.

Although it would be a more satisfying choice to directly kill all the great masters, in reality, compromise is necessary.

Killing all the Great Lords of Meereen will most likely trigger a backlash from the Gith nobles of Yunkai and Astapor.

Ian did not stay in Yunkai for a long time and did not complete control of this kind of city. Although the wise masters who rule Yunkai now are all the "pro-Ian" under General Shake-Butt and Grazdan Zo Eraz. faction', but the massacre of Meereen's nobles might change their mindset.

As for Astapor, it’s even more serious. Most of Ian’s current bureaucracy and officers are from Astapor’s nobles. This is not because Ian really wants to use them, but the entire Astapor Stabo could at least read and write, but it would be useless if they were not used.

Secondly, killing all the Great Lords of Meereen would leave Ian facing the same problem in Meereen as Astapor, with no one available to him.

Just like the nine-level Zhongzheng system of the Great Heavenly Dynasty, the officials were all recommended by the noble clans, but there was no other way. The noble clans had a monopoly on knowledge, and those who were literate were their people.

The magistrate of flowing water, the lord of iron-clad people, the dynasty of flowing water, the noble clan of iron-clad people.

The imperial examination is a way to break the monopoly of knowledge, but time does not allow Ian to do such a thing that will be harmful to the present and beneficial to the future. The long night has only been falling for a few years, and he must seize the time to catch everything in this land. The remaining value is squeezed out.

The first person whose options were eliminated was Hizdahr, the Holy Lord of Meereen.

Although with his bloodline, connections and reputation, he can be regarded as the person who can most intimidate the entire Meereen, this is not what Ian wants.

What Ian wants is someone like Grazdan of Yunkai and Fermor of Astapor, who originally had a certain reputation and power, but are far away from reaching the top.

Only with the help of Ian himself can they take control of the situation.

Such people are beneficial to Ian's rule.

As for Hizdahr, he is already the most powerful lord in Meereen. What benefit does supporting him bring to Ian? Like the former Grand Marshal of Yunkai, Yakhaz Zo Azak, he is a target that should be eliminated.

After flipping through the information of several great masters, Ian began to look at some of the more powerful lesser nobles.

Compared to those arrogant fools, these people tend to have more desire to climb up and are easier to control.

The first thing Ian saw was Reznak Mo Reznak, the chief steward of Meereen after Daenerys ruled in the original book. He was very capable, but always sympathized with Meereen in a series of things. The Kingpin stood in their position and repeatedly persuaded Daenerys and Hizdahr to marry, which had the potential to have two or five sons.

Ian put his information aside for later use, and he planned to find time to investigate this person.

After all, Ian does not intend to close the arena, nor does he intend to break with the Great Lord of Meereen, nor is it possible for the Meereen nobles to have ambitions to marry the queen, so these shortcomings of his are not considered shortcomings.

If you can manage to gain this person's loyalty, or at least basic loyalty, he will be an excellent housekeeper, and as long as you don't give him too much power, there won't be any problems.

Immediately afterwards, Ian dug up the information of Skaraz Mo Cantak, who was the commander of Daenerys's 'Beast Face Army' in the original book, and was also the first Meereen to be loyal to Daenerys. A nobleman, he shaved off his traditional Gith hairstyle to show his break with the past and pledged allegiance to his new master, and was known as 'Lord Roundhead'.

This person gave Ian the impression of being realistic, cunning, cruel, tough, and without honor. As long as you can give him enough bones, he will bite off the enemy's neck for you. He can be regarded as the most perfect emperor loyal. dog.

This person Ian will definitely be able to use it, but similarly, this kind of person cannot be given too much power. First, it will not convince the public, but it will easily lead to him having undue ambitions.

So who should I use?

There seemed to be no real fit.

Ian shook his head. This matter can be decided later. After all, it has been more than a month since Horse King Drogo arrived here, and he will officially take over the rule of Meereen after defeating Horse King.

Perhaps during this period of time, there will be smart people in Meereen who understand the situation in Yunkai and Astapor, and are willing to take the initiative to come to him, and maybe want to be this agent.

After listing a number of official candidates, Ian concluded the afternoon.

Next he will do some simple sword exercises before heading to dinner at the Great Pyramid.

Just last night, the last plainsmen delegation from the Raza region, the youngest son of the chief of the eastern city of Kothrak, had led a team to Meereen.

At this point, envoys from 16 mountain clans, three major cities, and 14 plains tribes in the Raza region who have clearly stated that they will participate in the meeting held by Ian have gathered in Meereen.

This data certainly does not mean that there are more mountain clans in Lazar than plains people, but that all mountain clans in the entire region have sent people, while only less than one-tenth of the plains people have come.

This is normal. After all, the condition offered by Ian to the mountain clan is to allow them to join the Gith Alliance as equal allies. The alliance will provide them with food in the next long winter, and after defeating the centaurs, the slaves Bay's slave hunts will not be conducted against the mountain clans.

No one could refuse such conditions, and all the mountain clans sent very important envoys. Their purpose was not only to participate in negotiations, but to directly swear to join the alliance.

The plains people at the foot of the mountain are different. Except for the three big cities that have the same conditions as the mountain clans, the conditions for other tribes are that the first ten tribes to surrender to Ian, their chiefs can directly become subordinate to the queen. Holy Slaves', and according to the size of their tribe, they will receive a certain quota of first-, second-, and third-class slaves.

For those who surrender after ten, their chiefs can only become first-class slaves, and the number of slaves they obtain at all levels will also be reduced proportionally. Those who refuse to surrender will all become fourth-class slaves after being conquered.

Therefore, only a few tribes among the plains people sent representatives hoping to negotiate on this condition, while more tribes were still waiting and watching, pinning their hopes on Ian being defeated by Khal Drogo.

Night falls, and the Great Pyramid of Meereen is illuminated.

The eunuch slave singers Ian brought from Yunkai sang the songs of the old dynasty in the ancient language. Their voices were high and sweet, so ethereal and pure that it was unimaginable.

In the center of the hall, the beautiful bed slaves from Yunkai performed various traditional performances. The fragrant scenes caught the eyes of all the Raza envoys, and Ian also took advantage of the opportunity to bring hundreds of them from Yunkai. A slave girl was given to them as a gift.

This generous act quickly won the favor of the envoys.

Ian's investment in this banquet can be described as regardless of the cost. Food, wine, beauties and various performances filled the hall. The participants not only gathered from Astapor, Yunkai, Meereen and New Ghis The nobles also gathered dignitaries from the mountain people in the Lazarin and Ghiscari Mountains.

At first glance, people who don’t know might think that the ancient Gith Empire has been resurrected in this world.

Such a scene brought tears to the eyes of many of the great Meereen masters who were immersed in the old dreams of the ancient empire, and many even gave up their prejudices against Ian.

If only he were a Gith! Many dignitaries from Meereen, Yunkai, Astapor and New Ghis thought in unison as they looked at Ian, who was sitting high on the throne and talking to the Lazar envoys one after another.

It would be great if he were a Gith, perhaps the 'Great' Grazdan reborn, who would rebuild the empire for us.

"Wait a minute, is Lord Darry unmarried?" The great Lord Marrick, who was already red in the face from drinking, suddenly said this, which immediately attracted the attention of his two sons and the other man sitting next to him. A great master Zach turned his head.

"What are you talking about?" Although the Great Lord Zak didn't know what Marek was thinking before, he had some guesses just based on the word 'unmarried', because the entire Meereen knew that the Marek family The little girl known as the Light of Meereen had reached marriageable age two years ago.

"You know what I'm talking about, Zack, Ian Darry is going to need a queen." Great Lord Marik suddenly began to shine with excitement.

"He's just an earl, and he already has a queen."

"A queen, and I mean queen. Damn, that's not the same thing." In Valyrian, as in Common, queen and queen are the same word.

"It's almost the same thing. A so-called 'Earl' who commands all the armies and has essentially taken control of Slaver's Bay, and a young 'Queen' who has nothing but this earl. If you are Lord Darry, you Will you marry this queen to wear the same crown for yourself?" Great Lord Zach reminded.

"A crown far away from the end of the world, it doesn't matter." Marik shook his head. "One day Lord Darry will leave Slaver's Bay with his queen and return to their barren wilderness. There, they could get married and share the crown.

But until then, he could have a wife in Slaver's Bay, and leave a child with Gith blood, who should be the Emperor of Gith! "

"Then the Marik family will become the new royal family of Gith, right? Because the child's father has left the empire, his mother's family must take on this responsibility?"

"You know me so well, my old friend."

"Go and try. If you can really succeed, the title of Holy Lord of Meereen should be changed, but my intuition tells me that you are dreaming."
