Chapter 153

What is the concept of ruling a country in the age of emperors? How much wisdom is needed? Throughout the history of ancient civilizations in the entire world, no imperial country lasts long. The reason is simple, except for those who were the founding emperors of great talent. Even if he has more descendants, there is no guarantee that there will be a wise man who can rule a country in every descendant.

So the empire will soon fall, and then another person will come forward and start a new era. The feudal dynasty continued in this cycle.

That's how the current Tyrion Lannister feels. He is not a king now, not even a prime minister, but just a special person who has made meritorious contributions. But now he is doing the work of a king. At least negotiating with the nobles, promising all kinds of benefits, and getting them to their side, should undoubtedly be the job of a king. But now, I've done it all.

It is not denied that he enjoys the feeling of being in power. If there weren't two samurai around him who were ready to cut off his head, the feeling would be even better. He is able to put his talents to the fullest and apply what he has learned over the decades to practice. Despite the constant occurrence of various situations along the way. But he was able to absorb experience quickly to ensure that his plans were carried out.

The plan is simple to say. Those aristocrats who have risen in the last hundred years. It was the object of his wooing. He promised them that when the old nobles fell, they would divide up the interests of the old nobles. All kinds of connections, resources, and even provide them with a certain amount of military support, so that they can seize the benefits they want. But only if they use all their resources to ensure that the city can continue to function in the coming period.

It was a big gamble for the new aristocrats. Not every head of a family has this kind of courage. But in the end, someone stepped up.

The Lorak family was the first to eat crabs. Strictly speaking, they were not new aristocrats, but one of Meereen's oldest families. But when Daenerys took over the city-state, he burned one of the city's largest slave owners, the patriarch of House Lorac, Campbell. Lorak (I can't find out what this person's name is, I made it up, but the name of his son in the back is true).

And when the head of the family died, the rest of the family not only did not lend a hand. Instead, it quickly fell into the ground. Taking advantage of the internal strife in the Lorak family, they quickly snatched most of their business. And by the time the Lorak family stabilized again, they had been ostracized from the oldest circle.

And the current head of the family, Sitzdala zo Lorak, is the one who reunited the Lorak family. The person he hated the most in his life was not Daenerys, the mother of dragons, but those former allies who fell into the well when the family was in danger.

None of the allies have reached out to the aid of those old conventions. All of them chose to fall into the ground. This made Sitzdala extremely angry. And now, an opportunity for revenge is in sight.

"We, the Lorak family, used to be important members of that circle. I understand the rules of that circle. Know all their secret voices. Know all the waterways, the connections. Maybe they're not paying attention to the Lorac family now. But as soon as the other families fall, we will regain control as a matter of course. I promise that no one will starve to death in this city-state because of lack of food. Including slaves.

I know where their granaries are. If you really want to do it, you have to control those places in the first place. These days, I'm secretly investigating the killers they keep in captivity. That is, the gathering point of the children of the Harpy. I know which of the caravans in the harbor actually belonged to these people. I even know that they are already in contact with the slavers of Astapo and preparing for a frontal assault on Meereen. Quiles, for his part, responded to them. IMHO, we are running out of time. ”

When Sitzdala was playing with her opinion in the conference room, the people in the hall were even silent for a while. Except for the little devil, the rest of the people are not familiar with politics and the battles between nobles. They could not understand a man's vow to cooperate with the enemy who killed his father.

But the little devil is different. In the Seven Kingdoms, he had experienced all the filth of those great aristocratic families. He knew very well that for an ancient nobleman who had been inherited for thousands of years, all this was actually very, very normal. In the eyes of those great nobles, there is no personal honor or disgrace. There is only the benefit of the family, and the inheritance.

"Good, it looks like we have a trailblazer on our side. Then the rest of the situation is very easy. There is no need for the Legion of the Unsullied, and the Second Legion to be fully prepared. When our allies are ready, we'll get straight to it. ”

"But there are also threats from outside. Several surrounding city-states have been united. They formed an army and prepared to retake Meereen. We cannot fight against the union of multiple city-states. At least not yet. ”

The little devil thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"I remember that our queen had three dragons. One died, and the other flew away with her. And what about the other one? ”

"In the cellar. They are getting wilder and stronger. In order not to hurt innocent people, the queen would keep them there most of the time. But the queen is no more, and no one can command her dragons. ”

"There is no need to command. Let it out, at least when someone wants to burn it, he'll give a reaction. ”

Xu Qing said with a smile.

"That makes sense. Then you're up to you. Go and unleash the last dragon. It's the perfect moment to see this super life up close. ”

Xu Qing had no intention of approaching the two dragons at all. Her vampire bloodline has dark magical attributes. Fight back against the dragons. She had long since discovered that the dragons were a little hostile to her. Naturally, it is impossible to actively approach them. These dragons don't have enough IQ, except for the little devil who is a child of destiny, few dare to approach directly.

The little devil's face froze, and when he saw the faces of the people around him, he knew that this was not a good thing. But since I put it up myself, I naturally have to finish it. It's not a cannon for yourself, but it's much more important than that. I've got to finish it with tears in my eyes.

"Okay, I'll go. Also, there is the story of several city-states on the periphery joining forces to attack the city. We need to prepare early, too. All the ships in the port of Meereen are to be requisitioned. The surrounding pirates, mercenaries, better all come to our side. There are also those nobles' private soldiers, who are very powerful main forces. We need all the strength. IMHO, there is still an important figure missing in our group. ”

"We all know there's no Queen."

"No, not the Queen. is a military commander-in-chief. IMHO I've observed these days. It doesn't matter if it's Gray Bug, or Dario. They are all very good generals. They are able to accomplish a variety of military tasks with great excellence. But that's just the way it was done. We lack a man to give orders. That's what I call a commander-in-chief. Commanding a large war in which tens of thousands of people fight requires great military talent. I don't see that kind of person here. ”

"I remember you defeated Stannis Baratheon in the Battle of King's Landing. He was a famous military strategist of the Seven Kingdoms. So...... "Xu Qinggang wanted to smash this job on the little devil's head." was directly interrupted by the other party.

"Don't even think about it. Dealing with the affairs of the Meereen family has already made me anxious. If you can find someone to replace me, I don't mind being the military commander. ”

Xu Qing quickly understood what the other party meant.

"Okay, let's just say who your candidate is. I know you must have the right person. Say it and see. ”

The little devil looked around and said a name that made Xu Qing and Liu Qing suddenly realize, but the others looked confused, Barristanse. Sermi.

"Fearless Barristan, the first knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the strongest swordsman, the chief white robe...... Before I came here, I heard that he had been relieved of his duties by the previous king. You mean he's here now? Xu Qing knew the plot, but she still had to give Tyrion a chance to continue.

"Yes, that stupid nephew of mine has taken away the strongest and most loyal knight in the entire Kingsguard. Replaced with a bunch of waste. Sir Barristan could not bear this humiliation and decided to come to the other side of the sea and swear allegiance to the true Queen. ”

Missandei was the first to object.

"That man is the white robe of the king of the Seven Kingdoms. How can we trust Him? ”

"Believe me, if the Seven Kingdoms have already started to let the Kingsguard come out as spies, then we can enter the Seven Kingdoms tomorrow."

Gray Bug spoke.

"How can you ensure his loyalty. You must know that we are now facing a situation where a queen is no longer there. Will it accept this situation? ”

"Don't worry about this, Sir Barristan, who values honor the most in the entire Seven Kingdoms. If it weren't for the fools on the Iron Throne who expelled him. He's going to die of old age in that position. ”

"Okay, let him try." Eventually, the imp was able to convince the crowd to join Sir Barristan into Daenerys' inner group.

…………………

A group of knights was galloping across a meadow. They followed the trail of the ground and pursued the pursuers in front of them. Leading the way was Sir Jorah. After leading everyone to find the little devil, the other party took the initiative to ask Ying, hoping to bring a bunch of people to find the queen. The crowd saw his loyalty to the Queen. In addition, several important people could not leave Meereen at this time. Dario personally selected a team of the best knights and asked Jorah to lead the team in tracking down the dragon's whereabouts.

Dothrak Bay, this is a special area. The Dothraki have ruled this land for generations. And no one tried to fight them.

As a people on horseback. The Dothraki are the kind of peculiar race that can eat, drink, sleep on the horse, and even reproduce offspring. They believe in the god of horses and regard war horses as their faith. Every Dothraki is a qualified cavalryman. As a people living on horseback, this is just the basics.

These people were even able to stand up on the back of a galloping horse, and shoot a bow with both hands. They were able to travel hundreds of kilometers day and night, raiding a city. Before anyone could react, they were able to leave with the loot. Just like the Mongolian cavalry in ancient China. The Dothraki are the whip of the gods of this world.

If it weren't for the matter of faith, they would have feared the sea. At the same time, it is customary to live in the grassland. and fighting with each other, the Dothraki have long since completely destroyed the surrounding city-states and unified the continent.

But even so, the other party is still a nightmare for this continent. They will send troops to any city-state from time to time, not to occupy the city. Just for the sake of military training. And in order to let the other party come to their side as little as possible. Every year, the surrounding city-states would ask the Dothraki to offer countless amounts of food, meat, and money. In order to be able to make the other party come a few times less.

Daenerys never imagined she would be here. Former Drogo. Kao had promised to bring her here, gather more than 100,000 Slavs, cross the sea and lay the Iron Throne for her. But Drogo died on his way home. His subordinates abandoned Daenerys. Let her take a few of her subordinates to survive in the desert.

Daenerys thought she wouldn't be dealing with Dothraki in her life. But the peculiarity of fate is that it always gives you a gift that overwhelms you when you don't expect it.

Daenerys and even Dothraki's customs, this barbaric race has no such thing as decency and shame. A beautiful woman like him fell into the hands of these people, and the result can be imagined. The only good news is that she is a woman of Drogo Kao. According to Dothraki custom, Kao's women were not to be adulterous.

However, it is pure nonsense to expect a group of barbarians to abide by such regulations. Daenerys estimates that the other party will not be able to endure it for three days. So he had to act as soon as possible. If you want to conquer a group of wildlings, you have to come up with something special. A force that can make these lawless savages fearful. And among the countless suffixes of Daenerys's name, there is one called the Unburner.

She and another group of Kao's widows were placed under house arrest in a special tent. The rest of Kao simply cannot be reached. You know, those Kao aren't stupid. Since they can be the boss, they always have a little brain. If you want to deter this group of reckless people, the most important thing is to first remove their few brains.

Daenerys tries to get the help of several widows to cover her entry into Kao's tent. But after the other party heard it, not only was he not ready to help her, but he was also ready to send her a high hair. Two of the women controlled her. The other one was going to go out and report the news. For a moment, Daenerys even despaired.

But as soon as the widow threw out of the tent, there was a low sound of falling to the ground outside. Then a person appeared that Daenerys couldn't imagine.
