Chapter 495
In addition to Bu Clan's sacred pact with Holy Dragon Big Black, nine other ministers, representing their respective families, entered into a secret pact with the Dragon Queen.
Well, the reason why there are nine ministers here, and the reason why Bu Clan is not worried about the leakage of this terrible sacred contract, is because everyone here must "betray the country" together.
"We also have to think about the family!" The prime minister with a flat nose sighed.
"I'm so involved with the Bu Clan Azure Emperors, one prospers and all prosper, one suffers and all suffer, and the horribly Long Night...As patriarchs of our respective families, we can't Don't make plans sooner."
As if worried that the holy dragon would look down on their "traitory" behavior, the Prime Minister also explained the relationship between the Nine Great Families and Bu Clan in detail.
It was so complicated that Dany was dazed.
But it can be explained in one sentence: The relationship between this group of people is similar to the Four Great Families of "King Jia Shixue" in "A Dream of Red Mansions", and now they want to live together.
Bu Clan sells King's seat to protect the Azure Emperors, and Nine Great Families sells Yi Ti's beliefs to protect their own prosperity: transfer children from the family to Dragon Religion of The Seven to build for Queen The framework of the Church of The Seven - at least one hundred The Seven churches; Dragon Queen guarantees the continuation of their family, allows some children to take refuge in Slaver's Bay, and guarantees their status and power in Yi Ti in the future.
Actually, Dany doesn't really care about Yi Ti's Dragon Religion of The Seven.
She just hit two poles, and then came up with a set of good "revenue data" to cheat investors' money.
Like a lucky guy who deceived USA, Dragon Queen wanted to deceive High Sparrow: Look how good the effect of The Seven is, don't you want to learn it soon?
But Bu Hao's plan with the ten ministers didn't seem to waste her energy, so she couldn't find a reason to refuse.
A real win-win, and neither side seems to be paying too much.
Big Black flew one day one night and returned to the Astapor Great Pyramid with a yellow cloth wrap.
Only the old Aemon was at home, Aegon, Tyrion, Missandei all went to Southern Peace with Queen.
Old Maester raised the dragon (Little Red), sent and received letters from the raven, instead of Missandei, went to the yamen on the first floor to hear the case, and lived a leisurely and fulfilling life.
"The Seven is on, we Targaryen have another kingdom, or is it a world power like Yi Ti?"
Seeing Big Black handing over a stack for him to collect Sub-instrument, old Aemon is in a dream.
"It's so easy to be King, so why are we still in Westeros?"
Recovering, old Maester's recollection makes any Targaryen feel sad "Dance of the Dragons".
He began to regret, regret for his ancestors.
——With dragons, the world can go anywhere, why kill the clan for a broken chair that pokes the fart?
This is what the Dragon Queen said back in the day, and now it seems...
"Dany might actually turn Targaryen into a 'world Imperial Family'."
......
The Allies naturally have more than 300 battleships, only the Volantis family can make up 500 warships, and the various cities of the Allied forces add up to more than 2,000 seas ferry.
But the Allies really only have three fleets at present, each with 100 ships, a mix of longboats with oars and large battleships competing for sea dominance.
The reason is also very simple.
The situation at this time is very similar to the 18-way princes to ask Dong - the version of the concerted effort.
Dragon Queen is Dong Feifei's character.
And the troops of various princes are unified, but they will not hand over all the troops to the commander of Yuan Shao.
Lys' fleet goes to Lys, Allied fleet goes to Allied.
Although everyone has the same goal, they don't want to be used as cannon fodder.
There are only 300 battleships directly commanded by the Allied Command. Allied countries participating in the Allied Forces provide varying numbers of battleships to serve the Allied forces according to their national strength.
For example, Lys Prince Tregar, he brought 250 battleships from the "Three Sisters" to New Ghis, but only 50 were scattered into the three fleets of the Allied Forces, and the remaining 200 still belonged to him oneself Commander.
With the battle strength on paper, the Tregars can withstand two Allied fleets.
But it can't actually be calculated like this. There are strict standards for joining the Allied fleet. The age of the ship, the load, the maximum speed, the number of oars, the configuration of sailors, etc. must be the highest requirements.
The three major fleets of the Allied Forces bear the heaviest responsibilities and are the main force that is not afraid of sacrifice.
The major city-states also sincerely contributed to their strongest battleship.
In this regard, the Allied version of the Eighteen Route princes should be more conscious and disciplined than the group of Yuan Shao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Of course, the pressure that Dong Feifei puts on the princes is far less than the pressure that the Dragon Queen puts on the slave-master.
If Dong Feifei has a dragon, even the most selfish brothers, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, can be as selfless as Cao Mengde (Old Cao in the period of the 18th princes was sincere and passionate).
The Allied version of the Eighteen-Road Princes does not have an Alliance Leader, and is jointly led by many giants.
Only the navy, the three giants of the Allied navy are: New Ghis Iron Legion Navy Commander Sanady, Xaro, one of Qarth The Thirteen, and Volantis Triarch Alios.
The White Dragon who discovered the Dragon Queen has been spying on the New Ghis port recently, and the Allied internal meeting voted: Summon Tolos' First Fleet is back, ambushing the open sea, and looking for opportunities to cut off the Dragon Queen's fleet's way back.
The highest goal is to shoot a dragon to death; the lowest goal is to sweep the Dragon Queen's fleet and seize control of the sea.
On the day Raven received the arrival of New Ghis, Alios immediately reorganized the army, directed the sailors to fill the ships with food and freshwater, and led 100 battleships of the First Fleet to leave the port in the afternoon.
That night, Dragon Queen found out when she habitually went to the Tolos pier to investigate the enemy's situation.
Late night.
Southern Peace, Queen's command post, all the generals gathered around the map table to discuss the next tactics.
"Let's ambush Alios' First Fleet first!" Jon Connington said.
To be honest, Dany thinks so too.
But compared to the entire battle, she felt that the First Fleet was not too valuable.
Big Crab clicked on the map and said: "You can wait for the work, ambushed a fleet at the waist of Maiden of Freedom Isle, and ambushed another at Southern Peace, attacking back and forth. With the help of dragons, it is safe. "
Garth> agreed with Aerys for the first time: "Although I am proficient in naval warfare, the Slaver's Bay soldiers are brave but inexperienced. Let's practice together and become familiar with the strength of the Allied navy." ""hehe..." Tyrion, who was standing on the stool, laughed.
Well, he is now a second grade member and is eligible for Queen's Small Council.
Dany glanced at him and asked, "What do Wildfire General think?"
"Your Majesty, what's the purpose of this first stage fight?" Tyrion asked back.
"Don't talk nonsense to me." Dany indifferently said.
Tyrion shrugged and said slowly: "We're here to try out the Allies' cards! So, you transfer your fleet to Southern Peace.
Tolos is the Allies It is time to reveal what cards the Allies have against them, because they cannot afford to lose them.
The First Fleet only has 100 ships, which can be lost.
When we encircled the First Fleet, we exposed our strategic goal - Tolos will strengthen the alert after receiving the news.
When we eat the First Fleet and turn back to attack Tolos, the opponent's cards may cause We kill a lot of people, it's not worth the loss!"
Connington face changed, pondering: "I don't think any trump card can reverse the advantage of dragon, but Imp's words also make sense, our goal of this battle is not Kill the enemy fleet."
Dany looked around, and seeing that no one had any objections, he said, "A week later, we will raid Tolos."
"A week, for Is it possible to prevent the First Fleet from returning to help? If we take Tolos, we can still loot the Allied food and grass supplies." Big Crab looked thoughtful.
"Well, without the First Fleet, our mission will be much easier, apart from this..."
Dany's eyes flashed, lightly said with a Smile, "We can take the opportunity to have a few more helpers."
"Model worker" Big Black left Southern Peace that night and arrived at Wall a day and a half later; on the third day, he lost a Wights to the Great Sept of Baelor ; On the fifth day, he quietly brought back three Skinchangers, one man and two women.
Grisella, a weathered 30-year-old Spearwife, a skinchanger of weaker abilities, with a goat as her partner.
Because of her weak abilities, she was not among the first Wildlings to go to "Queen's Point".
Her ability is especially suitable for herding, and she is a shepherd girl at this time, specializing in helping Free Folk manage the flock.
Borroq, a fifty-five-year-old gray-haired man, a skinchanger of medium ability, with a wild boar as his animal companion.
The old Skinchanger has strong abilities and is the right-hand man of Tormund Giantsbane.
After learning that the Queen needs the Skinchanger's help in the battle, Mance Rayder personally asks Tormund for it.
Well, Tormund's team was found by Jon's crow.
Seeing that the Dragon Queen kept its promise and brought 80 great ships, Tormund immediately led the tribe of oneself into the Wall.
However, Tormund has a good relationship with Jon, and did not plan to go to Stepstones to farm, but chose to stay in Wall and cooperate with Night's Watch to defend against Others.
The third Skinchanger is Morna White Mask, Wildlings Thousand Man Leader, who has joined the temporary Night's Watch.
After learning that Dany needs a Skinchanger, he handed over the positions of Clansman and Thousand Man Leader to his daughter, and offered to come to Slaver's Bay to work for the Queen.
She followed the path of Jon Snow and switched to Shadowbinder meditation with Skinchanger's innate talent.
After her last animal companion died three years ago, she happened to meet the resurgence of magic power. She focused on Blood Sorcery, and has yet to find a suitable animal companion.
Dany, holding the bird cage in his left hand and the cat cage in his right hand, said to the three Wildlings, who had changed into clean clothes: "Forget the goats and wild boars, catch one petrel first, and then another when there is spare energy. A cat, if you have more energy, you can conquer a big lobster."
Spearwife Grisella and the tall old man were a little dissatisfied.
But before they got here, they had given up on goats and wild boars.
Don't give up. Dragons can pack people, but they can't pack wild boars and goats.
Before getting close to the dragon, the goats were scared to death and the wild boars went crazy.
"Queen, what's the use of a lobster?" Morna said curiously.
This Thousand Man Leader was not only the first Wildlings patriarch to sign an agreement with Queen, but also fought Others with Queen, and was considered an old acquaintance.
"The claws have sharp blades to help my White Dragon clear the tangled nets." Dany wondered.
Dragon Queen's idea is beautiful, but reality is very unfriendly.
The weakest Grisella also found a petrel and a cat as partners, and Borroq and Morna also contracted a one-meter-long lobster at the same time.
The lobster was found in the sea by Big Black, it swims fast, strong, and delicious...
Well, after the blade is attached, the claws are very inflexible, Also top-heavy and unstable.
By the time the lobster cut the net on Little White, the enemy's second and third nets would have spilled.
However, Dany didn't steam the two Skinchanger's lobster buddies either.
The efficiency of lobster cutting fishing net is low, but the effect of laying is... You can try it.
It's just that lobsters have a hard time detonating Wildfire cans.
Finally, Dany promises Morna: "Well, take the Tolos first, and if I'm sure the lobsters are really useless, I'll help you catch a few eagles.
There are dragons. Now, the strongest and most ferocious falcon in the world is not much different from the Sparrow."
