Chapter 692
"Are you afraid of death?"
"No, we Holy Knights are not afraid of death!" Jorah waved his hands again and again, blushing and explained: "But we can't die easily, like me, except for The identity of Dragonrider, as well as White Cloak, Queen Guard Army Cavalry Commander, Meereen City Defense Commander and other positions.
If I die, it means Queen loses a Dragonrider, a White Cloak, and a cavalry Commander , a city defense commander...
And the opponent's Dragonrider is just a simple Dragonrider, and there are no more important military and political positions.
What's worse is that one-on-one In the Dragonrider match, my winning rate is not as high as the opponent's, if there is a big melee, we will suffer too much."
Maege was stunned, it seemed to make sense.
However, since you can't fight, why were you chosen as Dragonrider?
She just thought about this in her heart, but didn't ask it out.
Because she herself knows the answer: Wyvern is such a good thing, of course, let the nobles choose first.
"Why can't you beat each other?" she tangled.
——Nobles should be given preferential treatment, which is right, but nobles should also be better at fighting!
Jorah helplessly said: "I don't train as well as each other, they're professional Dragonriders, we're just dragon-riding Knights.
They get together every day and train for at least 12 hours , half a day off every ten days.
We have to work a lot of the time, we don’t have time for cultivation, and we don’t have the opportunity to gather people together for group training.
Originally we still have weapons Advantage - Tyrion crossbow, but it didn't take long for the other side to learn it."
At the beginning, Dany didn't find any problems with the oneself selection system for Dragonrider.
She is not nepotism. At this time, her foundation has been established. Under the fair and just military merit award system, every nobleman who can get the title must have outstanding merits, and they are all outstanding heroes.
——Which dynasty did not gather stars and seek ministers like rain at the beginning of its founding?
Everyone in Slaver's Bay who won the Holy Knight's Seal is not just in name only, but also in reality, without any moisture.
But here comes the problem, Wyrmriders sound great, but they are actually expendable soldiers!
high level soldier.
A soldier who can be at a high level is still a soldier.
The Allied Wyrmrider, born higher than the Knight of Slaver's Bay.
Many of the Dragonriders on Dany's side were slaves before, but the Allied Dragonriders were all from Valyria's bereaved family. In terms of identity, they were not far from Targaryen.
But those Knights were born tall, but they did not have important military and political positions, and their death would not affect the normal operation of the Allied command system.
Dany's Dragonriders are all in important positions. If seven or eight Dragonriders die, then...
At the beginning, Dany didn't notice this problem, wait for Lu After playing seven or eight small-scale dragon battles one after another, she suddenly discovered that oneself has attended funerals a little more recently? !
Think carefully...
fuck!
Sacrificed five Alliance Captain-level generals (in charge of three Thousand Man Leaders), and three were captured by the Allies.
Dany was both shocked and angry, and at a loss: this King swept Slaver's Bay, raided Tolos, and even bombed New Ghis, and finally captured New Ghis...
able to Move unhindered in the whole world for several years, a Thousand Man Leader level general is not dead.
But since there was Wyvern, since the formation of the Wyrmrider regiment, in just two months, General has fallen one after another.
Then why did I travel all the way to Sothoryos continent to find Wyvern?
"So, our strategy is to use more to fight less, suppress Wyvern with dragon, resolutely avoid big melee, avoid one-on-one duel, and only use Wyvern's advantages in quick transfer and aerial bombing." Jorah helplessly said.
In other words, give up fighter jets and convert Wyverns into transport aircraft and bombers.
When Wyvern was acting as a bomber, Dany had to arrange for dragons to escort, which...
"This is too useless?" Maege felt a little ashamed .
It seems that Jorah is disgraced, Dragonrider under the Dragon Queen is disgraced, and the whole Westeros is disgraced along with it.
"We are just fighting in a more stable manner, not hiding in the back and not participating in the battle.
Wait to win the final great decisive battle, who wouldn't praise us as a 'glory Dragonrider'?" Jorah doesn't think so.
The two were talking, the bombing in the distance was over, Black Dragon escorted the seven Wyverns back to the Meereen airspace, and the Dragon Queen also landed in the Pyramid Garden, ate a big mango, and then led another seven full of kerosene The bombed Wyvern takes off from Dragon Den.
After tossing back and forth for nearly an hour, the second round bombing began...
"I finally understand why the Allied camp is so far away from Meereen, ten kilometers. , just to reduce the frequency of you reloading kerosene bombs!" Maege suddenly realized.
Then she wondered again: "Since they have all arrived at Meereen City, why not attack the city, but get bombed outside the city instead?"
Jorah hearing this, her expression suddenly changed Very dignified, he asked back: "Have you seen elephant soldiers in the camp?"
"Yes, I saw a lot of huge elephants."
"That's pulling goods Hathay, there are 5,000 elephant soldiers, the enemy did not attack the city just because the elephant soldiers have not been arranged in place. Of course, it is also possible that the killing move is not arranged properly."
"Since the enemy is dragging time, you guys Why not take the initiative?" Maege wondered.
Jorah shook her head, her tone no longer so certain, "Queen thinks that delaying time is more beneficial to us, we need time to find the whereabouts of the elephant soldier, and we need the spies to figure out the allied forces' killing move against the Queen.
We also need to act cautiously, fight steadily, and avoid falling into the opponent's trap.
Anyway, we have no losses now, but we can use continuous bombardment to kill the opponent's morale and food."
Although She-Bear is his aunt, some secret military information is still hidden from her.
For example, Dragon Queen vaguely guesses the position of the elephant soldier, and is arranging for the soldier to dig a pit and bury a water urn in the city, hearing noise to distinguish position.
For example, it's getting cooler at Slaver's Bay, but Dragon Queen wants it to be colder, preferably snow, because she has a three-point guess about Balerion's killing move.
For example, Dragon Queen is sure that as long as the rhythm is not disrupted by the opponent, as long as the allies come to the city of Meereen, she will win, because she also has a killing move.
Confidential information cannot be disclosed. Big Bear or for She-Bear introduces information that everyone knows, such as Balerion and Jaen, such as the Zhou State that forms the allied forces, such as the true allies strength ......
"Ai, no wonder Aegon Your Majesty was captured and Dragon Queen never returned to Westeros, the war here is beyond my imagination.
With Dragon Queen Compared to the war in North Korea, we really seem to be playing a small game in North." She-Bear sighed, and was also inexplicably lost.
Jorah shook his head and said, "The Westeros war is about Iron Throne at most, but here is the battle that decides the king of the world. The two have absolutely no comparability."
She-Bear is even more lost. Now, it turns out that Westeros is not the center of the world, and Iron Throne is not the first throne of the world!
She stopped watching the frustrating battles outside the city, and began to look at this hanging garden more than two hundred meters above the ground.
There are swimming pools, lawns, gardens, and a half circle of groves on the periphery, persimmon trees, mango Fruit Tree, pomegranate...
The garden is 30 meters away The length and width are so large that it is unimaginable how many stones, manpower and time were used to build this pyramid.
"Hey, I also took classes at Maester's when I was young. He said that there is a Great Pyramid in the far east. I asked him how old he was, and he said it was huge, bigger than Winterfell. I don't believe it, now ..." She-Bear began to feel a little inferior while exclaiming.
The pyramid is 240 meters high, and its foundation must be more than 300 meters long and wide, but Winterfell is more than three hundred meters wide and five more than a hundred meters long.
Not to mention the castle in Winterfell, even if Godswood is added, it is not as big as this stone tower.
And Slaver's Bay has more than one Great Pyramid, and there are more than twenty pyramids in Meereen alone.
"Is King's Landing bigger than Meereen?" She-Bear asked.
Uh, god damn it, the dignified Earl of Bear Island, in his fifties, hasn't been to King's Landing yet.
Actually, the first time Big Bear went to King's Landing, was to fight Rhaegar with Eddard.
He hadn't even left North until then.
I don't blame them. From Bear Island to King's Landing, it is at least 4,000 kilometers by land; it is farther by sea, bypassing Oldtown and Dorne, and it is estimated to be 10,000 kilometers.
"Meereen is bigger than King's Landing, but not as populated as King's Landing. Ghis people like to build pyramids and Colosseum, those buildings take up too much land."
"Oh.. ...." She-Bear sighed blankly, "I have to go to King's Landing if I have a chance."
Looking at such an aunt, Big Bear suddenly felt sour and said, "My one Wyvern is the mother's. I'll give you a few when it lays eggs in a few years.
In the future, Earl of Bear Island can also tame dragons and travel around the world, and can also engage in Wyvern air transport business to earn money to support his wife. "
"The Queen allows you to give away Wyvern?" She-Bear was startled.
Big Bear shook his head, lightly said with a smile: "Wyvern is unruly, definitely the most ferocious creature in the world. Ordinary person can't tame a young dragon, but I have Holy Knight's Seal.
Big Bear shook his head and said lightly with a smile." p>
The Queen promises that all the first generation Holy Knights can inherit the title of 'Holy Knight' as a title to their descendants.
I have no children, so the title will be passed on to Alysanne and their descendants Come on!"
"Queen Sansa seems to be able to become a Dragonrider just by praying to The Seven, not so much." She-Bear wondered.
"That's because Big Black...Great Protector of Light answered her prayers, but not everyone gets an answer in their prayers.
Wait until I get the The story told the Queen that House Mormont entered the list of Holy Knights of the Great Protector.
In the future, as long as any of House Mormont's direct descendants, the Belief Unit, are qualified, they can get Holy Knight's Seal from prayer, which is inheritance. "
"Belief Unit? Believe in The Seven? Our family has believed in Old Gods for thousands of years!" She-Bear frowned.
"Let the children choose voluntarily, doesn't Sansa Stark believe in The Seven?"
"If there is a Dragonrider to inherit, who would still believe in the Old Gods?" She-Bear sighed.
"Actually, believing in Old Gods is also beneficial..."
She-Bear frowned again, hesitantly said: "Becoming a Dragonrider, do you have to be a Dragon? The Queen's descendants allegiance?"
"Of course, just like the bannermen wearing ancestral armor to answer the call of the monarch, if the Queen's heir needs the Dragonrider to fight, we will all ride on the dragon."
—This is the Dragonrider system that Dany really wants to build.
The big-bellied Wyvern can make almost any King poor, but it is different when it is distributed to the bannermen.
The courtiers get honor and the convenience of quick action, King's reduced financial outlay, and a steady source of Dragonrider.
Because the Holy Knight's Seal comes from Big Black, Dragonrider's loyalty is also guaranteed.
Win-win!
Well, this is actually a copycat version of Valyria.
"But Bear Island is loyal to Stark for generations..." She-Bear struggled.
