Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

On a high hill on the east side of the Kesai Pass, Lexix, the former Unsullied instructor from Astapor, was waiting with several other legion commanders for the arrival of his old friend Fermor.

On the night when Fermor arrived at the Kaiser Pass, the coalition commander-in-chief Ian Darry appointed him as the left-wing commander of the coalition forces, and Leschis and the others were the generals under his command now.

"Who is that woman? Such a big show?" Suddenly, Mohatz Zo Alk, a young general from the Yunkai Alk family, pointed to the foot of the hill and asked.

This man is the son of the 'Ass-Shaking General' Grazdo Zo Alc. As one of the few families in Yunkai who first fell to Ian with good military potential, he can be regarded as Ian's son. One of the key training objects.

Although Ian did not give him any real power in this battle, he also gave him a high-level false position, which he used to see the world and perform military exploits.

As Mohatz Zo Arc opened his mouth, Lexix and others all looked in the direction he pointed.

The equipment of that unit was as sophisticated as the front line of the Unsullied Legion, and the decorations were far more fancy than the Unsullied army.

At the front of the team, there were two squadrons of armored knights clearing the way.

The main color of the armor of one team is dark gold, and the emblem painted on their breastplates is a double-headed eagle emblem with lightning in its claws, which is based on the harpy of the Gughis Empire.

This is the first time that this heraldry has officially appeared in the coalition army, but Celia had already given the pattern to the most important Gith officials under Ian for reference.

Fermor and the others knew very well that this would be the future emblem of the empire and the new coat of arms of the Darry family.

Although many of them are dissatisfied with Ian for changing the harpy into a pure eagle and changing the banshee's bat wings into dragon wings, this heraldry at least retains the harpy The eagle body, scorpion tail and the lightning grasped on the claws can be regarded as retaining the characteristics of the ancient empire.

In addition, the two heads of the double-headed eagle on the heraldry look towards the east and west respectively. Its ambition to conquer the world is self-evident. This makes many Gith nobles, especially the military nobles inspired by the war, feel excited, so they are very popular. Kuai Ian's new heraldry style received unanimous support from important ministers.

The knight armor of the other team is pitch black. Their breastplates are painted with the three red dragons of the Targaryen family, and their helmets are decorated with dragon wings.

Behind the two teams of knights was a girl riding a silver mare who was guarded by a group of guards wearing silver half-plate armor. She looked petite but extremely beautiful.

"You don't know her?" Lexix asked strangely.

"What? From the tone of your voice, I should know her?" Mohatz Zo Ark was also very strange.

"That's your queen." Lexix had to remind her.

"Queen? When did Lord Darry get married? Why didn't I know?" Mohatz Zo Alke asked subconsciously.

"Hey, do you think Lord Darry is the king?"

"Isn't it? Although he has not officially claimed it yet, there is no doubt that he is already the king of Slaver's Bay." Mohatz Zo Alk said matter-of-factly.

Moharts knew very well how his father, the Butt-Shaking General, had gone from being the laughing stock of the Yunkai aristocracy to becoming the lofty Grand Marshal of Yunkai.

According to his father's own words, he didn't do anything else. He just knelt down in front of Lord Darry and offered himself to him when the stupid city of Yunkai was about to stand against Lord Darry. of allegiance.

Then, the great Alk family became one of the two new masters of Yunkai, and those idiots who had targeted the Alk family and wanted to kill them were instantly wiped out.

"Of course, he is," Lexix nodded. "He is not only the king of Slaver's Bay, but also the master of Lazarin. In a few days, Lord Darry will probably become the emperor of the new empire. , but from a certain legal point of view, Earl Darry is that girl's vassal." Lysix shrugged indifferently at the end.

Several legion commanders looked at each other and smiled, and everyone could see the disdain in each other's eyes.

"It's just a dispensable puppet." A disdainful voice sounded.

Lysix and others turned around and found that the speaker was Ursain Zo Marek of Meereen.

Ursain is the eldest son and heir of the Marek family, the great lord of Meereen. When Ian was in Meereen, he was almost asked by his father for marriage, although Ian used his own adaptability to prevent the other party from making this request. However, as the first great lord family in Meereen to move closer to Ian, the Marek family was still used heavily by Ian.

The situation of Ursain zo Marek and Mohatz zo Alke was similar. They both came to the front line to see the world and perform military merits under false pretenses.

"What? There's something wrong with what I said?" Ersain Zo Marek noticed that everyone was looking at him and continued, "She can't bring anything to Lord Darry! No wealth, no army, and her The claim to the end of the world is meaningless here. Well, except for her beauty, but with all due respect, she has no competitiveness compared to the well-trained oirans in Yunkai's erotic garden."

The truth is the truth, but can it be said? Didn't you notice that Lord Darry had already walked to the camp gate to pick her up?

I have followed Earl Darry for so long, and there are only two people who can be personally greeted by him!

One is the meritorious hero Fermor Zo Nacroz who defeated the Dothraki on the river bank south of Gistaka and achieved a major victory. The other is the 'good-for-nothing' girl in your mouth. You... Don't you understand what this means? Lysix couldn't help but glance at Ursain Zo Marek with disgust and took a step back.

Standing too close to you can easily affect your IQ.

"Isn't it?" However, Ersain Zo Marek did not notice the disdain of his colleagues at all. Instead, he became more and more enthusiastic. "I think it is necessary for us to reach an agreement on one issue, that is, the future queen of the empire should at least Must be a Gith.”

"The future queen of the empire will be whoever the emperor decides to marry." A deep voice boomed from behind Ursain, startling him.

"Lord Commander." Lexix and others began to salute.

Ersain Zo Marek turned around hastily and saw Feimol who had arrived on the high hill. Seeing the displeasure on his face, Ersain quickly saluted, "Commander, I have no other intentions. "He explained immediately.

With his victory in the Battle of Ghistaka, Femor gained great popularity among these nobles of Ghis. Unlike Grazdan Zor Eraz, the wise lord of Yunkai who is still secretly called an upstart by most nobles, Femor's newly acquired high-ranking noble status is hardly ostracized.

After all, even in the history of the Ancient Empire, no Gith general had ever defeated a Dothraki Khalasar when both sides were roughly evenly outnumbered.

"The future queen of the Empire will be whomever the Emperor decides to marry," Fermor repeated the words before adding, "But preferably she will be a Gith."

"Is everyone here?" Just when a few people were trying to figure out what Fermor wanted to express, Fermor quickly changed the subject.

"Except for those Lazarin people, everyone else has arrived." Mohatz Zo Ark said quickly.

Fermor glanced at the crowd and counted the number of people. Indeed, there were still a few missing, which made him a little dissatisfied.

At this moment, Fermor has been listed as Ian's three deputy commanders along with the commander-in-chief of New Ghis, Eres Zo Emde, and the right-wing commander Rohr.

The troops under his command include the crossbow regiment he brought from Ghistaka, the third Astapor Unsullied Legion, the third and fourth Slave Iron Legions that newly arrived at Kesai Pass, and Ian's troops in Kesai. The 6,000-strong Lazarin First Legion and more than 2,000 skirmishers from mountain clans were reorganized on the spot at Saishan Pass, totaling more than 20,000 troops.

However, due to time constraints, he now only has the legion he brought, the Lazarin and half of the Unsullied who rode on horseback after disembarking from the tributary of the Skaha Zaban River on the west side of the Kaisei Pass. The remaining Unsullied are already in place. The Grim One and the two Astapor Slave Iron Legions are still walking through the mountain road (but their legion commander has already arrived on horseback in advance). I don't know if they can get here before the decisive battle.

If they can't arrive, then Femor's main force in the decisive battle will only be these Lazarin people, and now, the generals of the Lazarin people are actually half late.

Why doesn't Fermor feel angry about this?

Taking a deep breath, Fermor suppressed the anger in his heart for the time being, preparing to wait for the generals to come before he could rectify military discipline with them.

At the same time, Fermor couldn't help but wonder whether Lord Ian's purpose in handing nearly two-thirds of the Lazarin people here into his own hands was to sort out these 'goatmen'. ?

For these unorganized and undisciplined savages from different cities and different tribes, apart from Lord Ian himself, it seems that he is the most suitable person to do this.

"What are you looking at?" Fermor noticed that his old friend Lexi was still looking at the mountain road below. Anyway, it would be a while before the meeting started, so he walked to his side.

"Look at that cavalry, Fermor," Lexix pointed to the knights riding in front of Daenerys, "How beautiful they are. They will become the enemy's nightmare on the battlefield."

"Maybe," Fermor also glanced in that direction, "but I have seen terrible ones."

"What did you say? Are they the Dothraki you met in Ghistaka? Do they really have armor? How is that possible?" Although Lexix had heard this statement, he instinctively didn't believe it.

One is because of the tradition of the Dothraki, and the other is because if the enemy is really more than half armored as rumored, then how on earth did Fermor win?

"Lord Ian's Guards Cavalry can accept wearing armor, and the Gith Cavalry, which is composed of Gith nobles, can cut off their traditional noble hairstyle and wear helmets. Then why can't our enemies violate their traditions?" Femor asked rhetorically.

"this"

Fermor did not continue to struggle with this issue with Lexikes, but told the story of the Battle of Ghistaka.

"then.

...The most elite among them were wearing the black goat armor of Qohor, and they penetrated the Iron Legion phalanx that the New Gith were proud of in just one charge.

"Our spears pierced their bodies and could not penetrate at all. Instead, they were knocked away by their horses. Javelins and crossbow bolts shot at their bodies. Unless they hit the gaps in the connections, they could not penetrate.

We can only use the ballista on the ship to cause damage to them, and after forcing them to stop and drag them into close combat, attack their horse legs or use the barb of the halberd to hook them off the horse, and then pounce on them and stab them with a dagger. armor joint. They are like devils seeking life, or the god of death itself," Fermor said and stopped.

All the legion commanders on the high hill looked at him like this, including the Lazarin chiefs who had arrived belatedly, and they all looked at him with shock and longing.

"Then what?" Lexix asked, and he was the only one qualified to ask this question.

"Then I slaughtered these gods of death, hahaha!" Fermor patted Lexix on the shoulder and laughed, "Compared to the enemies I met in Ghistaka, Khal Drogo The Karasa are just a bunch of rabble! They will be slaughtered in front of your battle!"

"Okay," Fei Moor nodded with satisfaction after seeing the reactions of the legion commanders. "This is the end of the small talk. Let's start talking about the next battle deployment."

The scorching sun above our heads is particularly fierce at the end of this long summer. Although the wind blows from time to time, it still carries a warm breath.

Ian was already sweating profusely after standing in the sun for just a short while - and this was even when he was barely wearing any armor.

Unlike the west side of the Gistaka or the Kaisai Pass, which has a tributary of the Skakhazhaban River, there are almost no rivers passing through the east side of the pass, and those few creeks have already dried up during the long summer.

Therefore, this place is completely in a state of decay. From the Kaiser Pass eastward to the vicinity of Hersey, even the weeds are almost all dead.

This was no small challenge for the Dothraki. Khal Drogo could not feed his horses with the wild grass on the ground, so he had to choose a quick victory.

But the same goes for Ian.

After the reinforcements from Astapor and the conscripts from various Lazarin forces arrived at the Kaisai Pass, the almost doubled troop strength and the withdrawal of the Lazarin from Hersi caused a huge problem for Ian in terms of supplies. Difficulties.

To make matters worse, there were reports of signs of illness beginning to appear in the army.

Although the legions that Ian brought from Astapor and the Iron Legion of New Gis strictly followed the grassroots officer manual issued by Ian, they started with the toilet when setting up the camp, and dug the location of the toilet in the downwind, away from Water sources and military stoves. When going to the toilet while marching, you must use a shovel to bury feces, etc.

However, those Lazarin soldiers and mercenaries did not implement Ian's hygiene plan well, so that the disease began to spread among them, and there was a tendency that an outbreak could occur at any time.

Therefore, Ian's desire to seek a decisive battle became even more urgent.

If the decisive battle with Drogo two days later can annihilate Khal Drogo's khalasar in one fell swoop or at least kill Drogo himself and severely damage his khalasar, all troubles will naturally be solved.

But if the decisive battle does not break out or Ian can only defeat Drogo and let his main force escape, then Ian will have to abandon the east side of the Kaiser Pass, where the terrain is more rugged, and withdraw his army to the wider and flatter terrain. On the west side of the mountain pass, they went closer to the river to rest and began to face the troubles caused by the two major problems of food and disease.

So Ian had been searching for the most suitable venue for the decisive battle through aerial reconnaissance in the past two days.

The first thing he excluded was the mountain road inside the mountain pass. The distance between the two mountains there ranged from 10 meters to 300 meters wide. It was supposed to be the best terrain for blocking several times the enemy with a small number of troops.

But the problem is that such a narrow contact area will make it difficult for both sides to effectively kill the enemy, and Ian's long-range troops cannot be deployed in place.

In this way, it is very likely that a battle will last from morning to night, with hundreds or thousands of casualties on both sides.

Then it turned into a long tug of war.

When Drogo discovers that he cannot defeat Ian quickly in this terrain, he is likely to give up the attack on the mountain pass and instead move towards the Lazarin cities of Lazarxi.

After all, the choice of whether to fight or not to fight is always in the hands of Khal Drogo. It is impossible for Ian to drag Drogo into a desperate situation by relying on the supply situation.

Therefore, if Ian wants to achieve the goal of fighting a war of annihilation, the decisive battle site he chooses must meet these conditions.

First, the opponent cannot be outflanked, and one's own long-range troops have enough output space.

Second, let Khal Drogo think that he can win, take the initiative to launch an attack, and be able to invest a large number of troops at once (or do not invest a large number of troops at the beginning but be willing to continue to invest troops after the battle begins).

Third, it is necessary to cause huge casualties to the Dothraki in a short period of time (for this goal, it does not matter even if one's own side also suffers huge casualties), and when the Dothraki realize that something is wrong, they must be prevented from successfully Retreat (at least make sure to take all the troops they have committed to the battlefield).

Except for the first point of these three goals, which is easy to achieve, the remaining two points are very difficult. There is even a huge conflict between the second point and the first point. After all, when the Dothraki face the Unsullied and cannot outflank them, it is difficult to think that they can win.

The only good news is that Khal Drogo has lost the support of the skinchangers, which gives Ian a lot more room for maneuver.

Finally, Ian chose the location where he now camped, and then quietly waited for Drogo and the final reinforcements to arrive.

"Ian!" A somewhat surprised voice came into his ears, interrupting Ian's thinking.

Looking at the little queen who hurriedly dismounted and rushed towards him, Ian opened his arms, letting her fall into his arms, and then kissed her forehead gently.

"Ian, I miss you so much." Daenerys said, hugging Ian's hand a little tighter

"Me too." These words were a little contrary to his will. During this period, Ian only had this war in his mind, and he had no time to think about the love between his children.

If it weren't for the mobilization of troops, he would never have let Daenerys come to Kesai Pass.

After a long time, Daenerys let go of Ian.

Ian could see that she seemed to have a lot to say, but he didn't have the time now.

"Yada, take your majesty to rest." Ian ordered the water dancer Yada.

"Ian, me."

"Can you wait until after this battle?" Ian put a finger on her lips, "If you have anything to say, wait until after the war is over."

"No! It must be now!" Daenerys refused decisively, which surprised Ian.

"So, Your Majesty, what are your orders?" Ian asked with raised eyebrows.

"I want to go to war with you," she said, grabbing Ian's hand.

"Nonsense." Ian laughed, and then his eyes signaled Yada to take Daenerys away.

"Khal Drogo came for me. This war happened because of. I can't let you take risks alone! I want to face it with you!" Daenerys said quickly, and then she looked at the preparations. Yada, the water dancer who stepped forward to pull her away, yelled at her, "Get back!"

"You are becoming more and more like a queen," Ian laughed again, shook his head at Yada, motioned for him to step back, then turned to Daenerys and said, "Okay, after the battle begins, you will stand Never leave my side."

Daenerys suddenly smiled.

"Now then."

"Okay," Daenerys nodded to Ian, "Then I won't disturb you."

After saying that, Ian asked Yada to take Daenerys to her camp.

Daenerys's words reminded Ian that Khal Drogo's trip was for her, or for the humiliation of losing her.

So if she appears on the battlefield side by side with him, it might be able to further stimulate Khal Drogo and allow Drogo to launch a more ferocious offensive - it would be even better if he could lead the charge in person, as Khal Drogo's death is certain It would cause great confusion to Karasa.

As for the issue of taking risks on the battlefield, what dangers can there be if you stand by your side? Ian would never put himself in danger.

After sending Daenerys away, Ian summoned several major generals as well as the material officers and ordnance officers who rushed to the Kesai Pass with Daenerys and were responsible for the cargo transported by the Astapor and Meereen fleets, and began Make a new deployment.
