Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

The news of Ian's return to Meereen did not need to be spread at all. The three groups of envoys who had been living in Meereen all saw with their own eyes the scene of him arriving on a dragon. The envoys who had been waiting for a long time submitted their requests for an audience to the Great Pyramid as soon as possible.

After returning to Meereen, Ian was captured by Daenerys and had a busy afternoon. It was not until the dinner that he had time to receive the envoys.

The first person summoned by Ian was an old woman. She was a messenger from Vaes Dothraki, coming on behalf of Doshkarin who managed the 'City of the Horse King'.

To be honest, Ian was very surprised that Doshkarim would send envoys to him, because the Dothraki did not have a real unified political power. Although the Doshkarim nominally govern the city of the Horselords and are representatives of Dothraki wisdom and religion, they do not have the authority to give orders to any Khal.

Moreover, although Ian did claim the entire Dothraki Sea after defeating Drogo, and gained the allegiance of several small khaos from the south, these few khalasar combined had less than 20,000 people compared to For the entire Dothraki tribe, it is really not worth mentioning.

Ian's dinner today was a wild boar, ham made with cloves, sprinkled with honey and dried cherries. The old woman from Doshkarin was obviously not used to such food. She only ate a little broth and a little fruit.

After dinner, Ian officially started talking to him.

Ian doesn't know Dothraki, and the old woman doesn't know Valyrian, so Ian borrows the little black girl Missandei from Daenerys again.

After some conversation, Ian learned the purpose of the old woman's visit - she was not just here on behalf of Dosh Kalin, but also on behalf of several powerful Khals in the north of the Dothraki Sea, because the ghost grass had started to grow again. .

Ghostweed is a grass that grows throughout the shadowy lands of eastern Essos. It can grow taller than a man sitting on a horse, and its stems are as white as glass. It is an extremely invasive plant that will cover all other grasses, killing them.

Because ghost grass cannot be used as food for horses and sheep, and humans cannot survive on such grassland, ghost grass spread from the north coast of Essos to the Dothraki Sea, which greatly threatened the survival of the Dothraki people. space.

Although Dothraki legends say ghostweed will one day cover the entire world, they don't expect it to happen now.

The northern Khals took their khalasar to Vaes Dothraki one after another, seeking help from Doshkarim, but the old women of Doshkarim were completely helpless against this terrible phenomenon.

At this time, some businessmen who came to the City of Horses to do business suddenly recommended a person to them - Ian Darry.

This man not only defeated two powerful Khals, Marko and Drogo, at Gistaka and Kesei Pass, but he also had the power to purify poisonous water and make it drinkable by horses. Now this man is considered by the Gith and Lazarin to be the incarnation of R'hllor, the Lord of Light, in the human world. Maybe he has a way to solve the spread of ghost grass and maybe save Dothraki.

The merchants' suggestions quickly attracted Doshkarin's attention. After all, the failures of Khal Makok and Khal Drogo were no longer a secret, and they had already heard the news that Emperor Ian could purify poisonous water.

After discussing with the Khals, the Doshkarim decided to send the wisest old man among the Doshkarim to Meereen to ask for Ian's help.

"If you can stop the spread of the ghost grass and allow the Dothraki to retain the land for survival, then the Dothraki will recognize your identity as Khal Tian," the little black girl translated the old woman's words, "All Dothraki roars Warriors will fight for you, and they will crush all your enemies."

"Ask her, how many people can I get?" Ian ordered Missandei.

The little black girl immediately translated Ian's words to the old woman Doshkarin.

"No less than 100,000 cavalry."

grass! Ian couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"I will consider your proposal," Ian nodded, and the little black girl immediately translated, "Please stay in Meereen first, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible."

"On behalf of the Dothraki, I would like to express my gratitude to you." The old woman Doshkarin thanked her and left the restaurant.

After sending the old woman away, Ian fell into deep thought.

To be honest, he was tempted. It is impossible not to be tempted by such conditions. The troops that Ian currently has that can actually be used for expeditions are actually seriously insufficient. The two battles of Ghistaka and Kaisai Pass have reduced his main army. He suffered considerable losses. Although he later expanded a huge new army with the newly obtained sources of troops, these armies were still in training.

The army of Slaver's Bay will not be gradually put into use for at least half a year, while the army of Volantis will not be gradually put into use until a year later.

The reason why Ian still needs to find allies and supporters in Westeros is because he wants to grab time. If he waits until two years later, his new army in Slaver's Bay and Volantis and the navy in the Summer Islands will all After taking shape, his two dragons blessed by the Lord of Light also grew to a size large enough to dominate the battlefield. Then even if there was no lord in Westeros to support him, he was sure to conquer this continent.

But there are too many variables that may occur in two years or even one year. Is it possible for the players in Westeros to successfully unify during this period? Is it possible that a powerful player will suddenly appear in the East and take advantage of its base in Slaver's Bay?

What's more, is it possible that winter and the Night King will come early?

Because he continues to provide believers and sacrifices to the Lord of Light, the recovery of magic in this world is obviously much faster than the pace in the original work. The wild growth of ghost grass in the Dothraki Sea is a proof. The original work mentions this A plant growing in a wizard's garden is considered to be proof of the wizard's resurgence of power. Now that this plant is invading the entire Dothraki Sea, how powerful is the magic that is resurrecting?

In this case, it is by no means strange that the Long Night falls early, and as Ian worried at the beginning, the Long Night may not just fall in Westeros, but in Westeros, Esso The vanguard of the Cold God may appear in Sri Lanka and the Far East.

These are things that Ian needs to consider.

This envoy from the City of the Horselord obviously provided Ian with a chess piece that could greatly shorten the length of the conquest war - the roaring warriors of the entire Dothraki Sea.

If he can get these people, then Ian will no longer need to wait for time, nor will he need to use various troublesome political means to win over allies, and he will now be able to sweep the entire Western world.

Even the powerful Braavos is not afraid. As long as he sends 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry to destroy the farmland in Andalos, the Upper Rhoyne River Basin, and the southern peninsula of Braavos, the city of Braavos, with a population of millions, will directly In a desperate situation.

By then, what use will their navy be, no matter how powerful it is?

In fact, Ian does not need to actually do this at all. He only needs to send these cavalry to Andalos, and Braavos himself has to take the initiative to come to him for compromise.

As long as Braavos doesn't cause trouble and his fleet attacks King's Landing, half of Westeros will surrender directly after taking the Iron Throne, while the remaining half will be defeated like fallen leaves by the autumn wind.

The only question now is how to solve the problem of ghost grass?

This isn't about weeding a single garden, it's about stopping the spread of an invasive plant along a long boundary that stretches thousands of kilometers.

Ian wrote two letters, one was given to the player Adam who now lives in Meereen by the attendant, and the other was carried by the green dragon Rhaego and flown to Volantis to give to Melisandre. Miss. I hope they can come up with something from the two fields of physics and magic respectively.

Immediately afterwards, Ian returned to the study and found a map of the Dothraki Sea area, and thought about which area would be better to start if he wanted to block the invasion of ghost grass.

However, although Ian could not find a suitable starting point, he suddenly noticed a very strange problem - the place where the Long Night's Harbinger appeared actually overlapped surprisingly with the activity area of ​​the Children of the Forest.

The first is north of the Great Wall of Westeros, which is both the activity area of ​​the Children of the Forest and the place where the Night King and the army of zombies appear.

The second is the Mosui Forest in the Far East. According to Melisandre, the ‘shapeshifters’ living in the Mosui Forest are actually another name for shapechangers, and it is also the territory of the Children of the Forest. There is only a gray wasteland between the Mosui Forest and the ‘Fifth Base’ of Yidi.

The fifth base of Yidi was built under the order of the "Pearl Emperor" of the Kingdom of Dawn. Its function is to resist the demons sent by Changye and the "Night Lion". If the Changye that the people of Yidi fight emerged from the Mosui Forest, this is completely wrong. Comply with geographical characteristics.

The third is the Ifverlon Forest where the ghost grass appears this time. The ghost grass spreads from the Ifverlon Forest to the Dothraki Sea in the south, and there is also a kind of forest called "Forest" living in the Ifverlon Forest. Walker's son of the forest.

If the appearance of these ghost grasses is really a harbinger of the long night, it means that the long night in central Essos also begins in the territory of the Children of the Forest.

If only one place matched, Ian could think it was just a coincidence, but now that almost all the old gods' territories and the source of the long night matched, Ian had to think about a question - what exactly are the old gods and the cold gods? relation?

The Old God, like the King of Light, is a mortal enemy of the Cold God. Wherever the Cold God's vanguard appears, where will the Old God send his followers as vanguards against the Cold God?

Or is it that the old god is simply the cold god, and he is actually directing and acting on his own?

Ian suddenly remembered some settings in the Game of Thrones TV series. Originally, Ian had always disdained the secondary creation of TV series, but the appearance of the little nurse from the Meguya family undoubtedly elevated some of the settings in the TV series and the original works. There is no obvious conflict of reference value for this world.

For example, the Night King was created by the Children of the Forest, and Bran, the 'Three-Eyed Raven', finally sat on the Iron Throne and became the final winner.

Everyone calls Bran the 'King of Winners' because he won without doing anything.

But is there a possibility that Bran (the Three-Eyed Raven) was actually planning this game from the beginning?

In the TV series, the Night King did not even take the North in the end, and was killed by Arya in Winterfell. This plot seems ridiculous, but what if the purpose of the Night King himself is to deliver a courier?

What if the Night King and his White Walkers were originally servants of the old gods, and he came all the way to Winterfell just to get Arya to kill him, and then push the prestige of the Stark family to the top?

Looking at the final outcome, the three-eyed crow, the spokesperson of the old gods, sat on the throne. It can be expected that in the next time, those weirwood trees that were once cut down by the southerners will be replanted in the south. The seven gods of the Andals Faith will die and the Seven Kingdoms will return to the embrace of their old gods.

And the price the old gods paid was just the delivery guy, the Night King.

Although this is only a speculation based on the plot of the TV series and has not been verified by the original work, such a possibility still makes Ian feel numb.

He decided to deal with the affairs in Meereen as soon as possible, then left and rushed back to Volantis to find Melisandre to discuss the matter and make corresponding countermeasures.

The next day, Ian ordered to summon Quentin Martell. Before solving the ghost grass problem, Ian still planned to continue to implement his plan in Dorne.

There were two knights who came with Quentin, namely Ser Cletus Yronwood and Ser Gareth Dinwart.

The latter is not qualified to attract Ian's attention, but the former. He is the second nobleman in Dorne, the 'Noble of Blood' Lord Anders Yronwood, who is also the one who Ian plans to push to the throne of Prince of Dorne. The only son of the nobleman.

In the original book, Ser Cletus Yronwood died fighting the pirates on his way to Meereen with Quentin, but perhaps because in this world, they set off long in advance, this guy arrived safely Meereen also came to his side.

This is undoubtedly good news for Ian. He plans to keep Ser Cletus Yronwood by his side as a squire, which will give the Yronwood family a great honor and further enhance their Due to the family's status, it can be regarded as keeping a hostage, so there is no need to worry about Count Anders's little thoughts.

The whole meeting was very short. After all, Quentin Martell came here to propose to Daenerys, but they had arrived in Meereen for several days and had heard a lot of news related to Daenerys, and The most important one is that she is the emperor's lover.

Sir Quentin is not considered smart. Perhaps he did not inherit his father's shrewdness, or perhaps his adoptive father, Count Anders, gave him an education with the purpose of cultivating puppets. He is not sensitive to politics.

But Quentin is not an idiot. After learning about the relationship between Daenerys and Emperor Ian, he decisively gave up his plan to propose. However, this also made Quentin's interview very embarrassing.

He originally came to propose marriage. If he successfully married Daenerys, then the two parties would naturally become one. But now, he does not have any power to dispose of it. After all, he has no say in whether Dorne surrenders to the empire or forms an alliance.
