The king on the Great Wall

Hmm... this analysis sounds like crap, and usually is worthless.King's Landing, as the capital of the Seven Kingdoms and the location of the Night Watchman's industrial arsenal and nitrate factory, is much higher than any other city in the world in terms of its official status, economic and military value. It is a place that must be saved. No city-state is worth taking Bait for home-swapping tactics.

Therefore, Iger's original plan was quite satisfactory. He took the West Coast Fleet to King's Landing and joined the Dragonstone Fleet to fight against the main force of the enemy navy.

He failed to catch up with the enemy's first attack, but the opponent was too stretched, and it was useless to give him a chance.

After hearing the news of the victory in the Dragonstone Island naval battle, Iger immediately judged that the slave owner's fleet that lost the first battle would return to Pentos to rest and breathe, while Tyrosh, Rees, and Volantis in the rear would be in a state of defense emptiness.

So he quickly issued an order—to mobilize supplies to the Sunspear City dock.

As long as the supplies and fleet go in both directions, the West Coast Fleet will not have to go north and return to King's Landing for supplies after passing around the southern tip of the mainland. Instead, they can get the gunpowder and shells that are lacking in Sunspear and go straight to Lys and Volantis. , taking advantage of half a month squeezed out by "going back to the city less once" to steal the house, and caught the slave owner alliance by surprise!

……

After taking a long breath, Iger buried most of his body in the water, admitting that the hot spring was indeed as comfortable as the legend said.

As he kept his promise to cede the fertile lands of the Frontier to Dorne, he received an unprecedented welcome in Sunspear.After being welcomed into the city with grand pomp and having a cordial meeting with Prince Doran, before he could go to the guest room to catch his breath, he received a private message from an enthusiastic female fan: Princess Arianne invited him to this place in the north of Sunspear City. Enjoy the view from the hills and enjoy the natural hot springs here.

The water is just the right amount of heat, and the sulfur smell isn't too harsh, and it would have been a nice outing and diversion—if Princess Arianne and her Sand Snake sisters hadn't caught themselves in the middle, rantin' The words about Prince Doran once wanted to ignore the laws and rules, and ignore all the bad deeds of her inheritance as a daughter.

Iger knew the reason why Arianne wanted to get close to him so eagerly: infatuation and admiration are false, but the intention to win is true.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. When Princess Arianne was 14 years old, she found a letter from her father to her younger brother Quentin, which promised that he "will become the ruler of Dorne in the future".This gave her a heavy blow to her young heart at the time, but in fact there was another secret behind it: the reason why Prince Doran decided to train her brother Quentin as the heir was because he had already prepared Prince Viserys for Arianne. A secret engagement, that is, she is scheduled to be Daenerys' sister-in-law, the future queen of the Seven Kings.

Although both Prince Viserys and Quentin Martell have died in accidents, Arianne seems (and actually is) to have secured the position of future heir of Dorne, but her heart is about her father. The suspicion of "patriarchal patriarchy" always exists, and the sense of insecurity lingers in my heart.That's why she chose to fight wits and courage with the air, eager to make friends with all powerful and influential figures, and wanted to pave the way for her position as Queen of Dorne.

This kind of rift caused by a small misunderstanding between father and daughter is not worth mentioning-but it fell into the hands of Iger, but it became a bargaining machine between the two sides. Thanks Dade for the great opportunity.

"Okay, okay, Princess Arianne." Iger pretended to be tired of listening, raised his hand from the water and waved it, "It's rare for us to get together, so let's not just talk about these unpleasant topics. Actually, I think Prince Tristan will not pose a threat to you, but if you really can't let go of this, I have a way to solve this for you..."

Arianne was taken aback by the man's straightforwardness, and she immediately sat up straight from the hot spring, feeling happy: "Trystane is my younger brother, I love him! I just ask the Prime Minister to speak well for me in front of my father." A sentence or a statement on behalf of the queen, you don't need to... 'solve' anyone!"

"Do I look like a butcher who can only use violence?" Iger rolled his eyes, "I just want to ask Your Highness the Princess, if you become the supreme ruler of Dorne in the future, can you protect this land and the seven kingdoms?" What good does the country bring?"

Ok?

As the Princess of Dorne, how could she fail to understand this sentence?Nothing in the world is free, and Arianne, who grew up in the Martell family, naturally understands this truth.Iger asked what benefits she could bring to the Seven Kingdoms after her succession, but the subtext was: what would she be willing to give in exchange for her support!

Although a bit too straightforward, it was just right for her.

"What suggestion does the Prime Minister have, I am willing to listen to it!"

Chapter 729 Hot Spring Talk

"Statement in advance: The following are only superficial personal thoughts and do not constitute any formal governance proposals."

Iger made a simple and polite sentence, and then opened his mouth openly.

He is the Hand of the Queen, while the other party is only a quasi-lord in reserve. The difference in status between them prevents him from having to carefully consider his communication methods and speaking skills: "Dorne is the last puzzle piece to be incorporated in the Seven Kingdoms. The long-term war with the Gulf or the Targaryen family, the rare cultural and economic ties with the other six countries after reunification, and the geographical isolation that is always like a moat, make this land different from the other six countries in terms of commodity economy, customs and customs. In terms of culture and religion, they all seem so incompatible—this is not a good thing. I hope that the future Princess of Dorne can set an example and take the initiative to break down various barriers with the other six countries."

"Uh."

Arianne was taken aback for a moment, then slowly sat back in the pool and submerged her body in the water again.

She thought that Iger would put forward conditions to fight for interests and benefits for herself or the queen - such as buying some Targaryen bonds or something, but she didn't expect that what he said "bring benefits to the Seven Kingdoms" seemed to really mean it literally.

"So, what should I do?"

"In terms of religion, I don't know if Her Royal Highness the Princess has considered converting to the Red God." Iger said to Melisandre, who was also soaking in the hot spring not far away, "If the princess takes this step first, then follow her." After "female", you will add another "same belief" in common, which must be a huge kind bonus in the eyes of Queen Daenerys. Of course, since I haven't studied Dorne's customs in this regard, So the specific decision should be based on whether your own family supports it or not, and whether the people of Dorne will protest against it."

Arianne nodded, she really hadn't thought of this at all, and she was asking the right person today.

"Culturally... As far as I know, your uncle, Prince Oberyn, has brought the printing factory back to Sunspear." The price was still the price that Margaret, the little vixen, thought, and Iger thought, it's okay He has recovered this grudge, and no longer has any resentment. "Books cannot represent culture, but they can carry and spread it." He was not an expert in cultural media in the original world, but in Westeros, he was an expert. The owners of the largest newspapers, magazines, H-book publishers and operators in the seven countries are fully qualified to express their opinions, "The way and tricks in this can write a book alone, and I can't explain it clearly in a few words. When I settle Reese and Valanti Si, I may have a brief discussion with you when I have time."

It's not that he didn't think about it, but before the Great Religious Revolution and the official publication of the "Book of Truth", the content of this line had to be kept secret.

"But apart from the above two, in fact, there is already a ready-made avenue to go in the Queen's reward to Dawn." Iger paused, raised his hand and pointed in a circle, "The root cause of Dawn's failure to develop What is the reason? I think it is the harsh geographical environment - this is the hottest area in Westeros, but also rocky and mountainous, arid and barren, and half of the plains are covered by deserts. The residents who live here are just for species To produce food that can feed oneself has already consumed almost all of the arable land, water resources, and mental and physical strength, and there is no extra thought to fiddle with cash crops or develop other natural resources in the mountains."

Melisandre on the far side of the pool closed her eyes, and she was used to the foreshadowing before Iger started to fool around, but Arianne Martell and Tyene Sand were all focused on this logic, which they seldom heard. Analysis pricked up its ears.This is the speech of the most powerful man in the Seven Kingdoms. What he said is not necessarily the truth, but it is definitely worth listening and pondering by any lord and noble.

"The queen's three external openings on the Dorne land have been designated for you to ensure that Dorne can use these three pieces of fertile soil to more easily achieve self-sufficiency in food, so as to free up resources for food production in the Crimson Mountains and to the south. In the desert area, calmly look for other ways to get rich and develop.” Iger generously pointed out the way to the two daughters, “Open and repair the roads connecting these three fertile lands, plant high-yield grains to ensure that the Dornish people will not starve to death, and then use The Dorne characteristic land along the Green Blood River and the Sulfur River grows some heat-loving, dry-loving, light-loving and drought-tolerant high value-added economic crops.”

Iger stretched out two fingers: "Let me just give two examples: the cochineal, one of the top raw materials for lipstick production in the Junlin Industrial Park, needs cactus to be raised; many grape varieties that make high-end wines also like the sun-drenched grapes like Donne very much." Warm environment..."

"Food can be grown anywhere, but with such a special natural environment, Dorne is the only place in the Seven Kingdoms. Plant precious crops to sell to the outside world, gain wealth and then buy back other commodities... All this has formed a business. Exchanges and cycles, Dorne's integration into the big family of the Seven Kingdoms, and the process of common prosperity in Westeros will naturally move forward—and this is what the Queen likes to see and hopes the ruler of Dorne will do most. It's up to you!"

The two girls soaked in the water were both lost in thought. Arianne, who was the initiator of the conversation, was seriously thinking and absorbing the information in Iger's words, while Tyene, who was the hair extension and foil, was confused Water didn't dare to intervene at all.Iger, who was sitting among them, finally enjoyed a moment of leisure. He put his hands on his head and sank slowly, letting the water reach his chin, and started to enjoy the hot spring seriously.

He wasn't talking nonsense.

If the relationship between Dorne and the royal government is always harmonious and close, then the above-mentioned big call is a serious suggestion and guidance for governing. If necessary, he can even use his power to give Dorne the business investment and orders he needs.

But if one day Dorn relapses into his old habits, tends to isolate and split, and even confronts the royal family, then these originally harmless suggestions will immediately turn into a deadly trap: Without the scarlet red mountains as a barrier, the royal army will be able to Easily take over the grain production land that was generously donated to the Martell family.

It is a fact that food can be grown anywhere, but at the same time it is absolutely indispensable or a necessity to be replaced - cash crops such as cochineal and grapes are just the opposite.Occupying the grain production areas and then cutting off land and sea transportation and imposing a food embargo, the Wang family can easily break down the resistance of the Dornish people.

After defeating Dorne with a food war, and then attacking along the repaired grain road, the attackers will easily achieve what even Aegon the Conqueror failed to do: conquer Dorne in the true sense!

Of course, this is just a very secretive and inhumane constraint and insurance mechanism-similar settings, Iger has buried the northern border (Stark and Bolton faction divide and balance) and the western border (gold control) .It was meant to be used just in case, but if possible, he would prefer never to use it.

Gu drift...

After about a minute or two of silence, Arianne recovered from chewing and pondering Iger's suggestion, and returned to her previous charming and relaxed expression. She leaned up from the side and embraced Iger's arm, pressing the whole mass of plump softness on the on his upper arm.

"Your Majesty the Prime Minister is indeed the man His Majesty likes. Just giving me some pointers will make my eyes light up." Arianne said in a coquettish tone, and even blew into Iger's ear, "It's just I don't know, what did you say earlier...the solution to help me solve my worries about my brother?"

"Prince Tristan is not qualified to compete with you for the position of prince, but if the princess really has grudges against his existence, then I can go say hello to Prince Doran and take him out of Dorne as a servant. Seal a knight in the future and let him take a position in the Queen's Governor's Mansion in Lys or Volantis. If you leave the Dorne land where your opponents can reach, if you have a settlement and a way out, it will naturally be difficult I will think about fighting or fighting with your sister."

Iger said it lightly, but even a person like Terene Shad, whose IQ is almost zero, straightened her back: a servant sounds inferior, but in the feudal system, it is actually a kind of gilding and endorsement, The nature is similar to the grassroots experience of the Celestial Dynasty... Depending on the object of service, the difference in gold content is extremely large.To carry a bag and lead a horse... or a dragon to such a great being as the Hand of the Queen, the Land-Giver, the Conqueror of the Reach, no one, no matter what their background, considers it a great honor and good fortune. , even if it is the eldest son who will inherit the family business in the future, he will fight for it, let alone a young son?

In addition, he will arrange a future way out and a clear path for him to rise...

It's really a perfect - win-win solution that doesn't need to "solve" anyone to get the problem out of the way!

"Your Excellency can think of me so much, but it really tells me... that I can't repay it."

With a look in his eyes, Arianne moved closer to Iger, and a small hand was also scratching and provoking the man's chest under the water.

"How can there be no repayment..." How could Tyene Shad not understand what the sisters were thinking, and immediately posted it from the other side with a smile, joining in this sex show, "The princess and the prime minister both If you are single, you can... make a promise with your body. Has Master Iger ever thought about taking off his black clothes and being our Dorne's son-in-law? Marry once and get many, the blessings are boundless..."

Two girls with different skin tones and different body styles made a sandwich and teased him with words and actions. The man's little brother under the underwater bathrobe instinctively looked up, but Iger still shook his head seriously: "The night watchman swore not to marry My wife has no children, I have dedicated my life to the Great Wall...Although I admire the princess's demeanor very much, I am afraid that I don't have the blessing to be able to be a couple with Your Highness."

Iger doesn't plan to have any relationship with Arianne that goes beyond friendship, it's not because he's just sitting on his chest, but it's just a trade-off - where is there no grass in the world?Compared with Princess Dorne's body, he wanted the Princess Dorne to owe him a favor.

And besides Arianne's favor, he could actually get another fortune from Doran.

Arianne was worried about how to eliminate the threat of his younger brother to his inheritance, so why didn't his father try to find a good way out for his beloved young son?

Iger will go to Doran to accept Prince Tristan as an attendant, but he will never take him away with just a greeting...but at the cost of Dorne buying Targaryen bonds, the high price will give the attendant vacancy and part of the authority of the Free Trade City under the Queen's rule in the future Interests, sold to Donne by pre-booking the governor's position in exchange for cash flow to ease the financial crisis.

Wouldn't it be beautiful to sell one thing and sell two birds with one stone!

In addition, that kid Tristan fell in love with Myrcella in the original timeline, and if he brought the two of them by his side, it might be possible to spark some sparks between the young couple and touch the little girl's heart again. After she figured it out, she agreed to take off her red robe and return to vulgarity.In this way, Tyrion's side can also explain... Well, let's do it!

Just as she was thinking, the sound of Myrcella's fine footsteps came from behind.The girl quickly ran to the pool, blushing and didn't dare to look at what the three huddled men and women were doing in the water, and whispered to Iger's ear, "Prince Doran sent someone to send a message, let your lord After soaking in the hot springs with Princess Arianne, go to the Flowing Water Garden earlier and have dinner together."

"Huh?" Iger looked up at the sun just above his head in the sky, and sneered, "What time is it, what's the rush!" He was waving his hand to want the girl to back down, but suddenly thought of something—Messai La's brave performance in that assassination almost saved his life, and she hasn't given any real reward yet.

It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Today, let's show some love to this little cutie, as the first part of encouragement and reward.

"Don't wait outside, go and change into your bathrobe, and come down to enjoy the hot spring in Dorne."

Chapter 730 Volantis

A rumbling sound came from a distance, and Messing Wesley secretly snapped his fingers and started counting.

one two Three……

The minute was right, and he waited for the weak tremor along the ground after the shell hit the fortification.

It will probably be the most memorable night for anyone in the city, slave or free.

Valyria's eldest daughter, Volantis, the oldest and most powerful of the free trade cities, encountered enemies from across the Narrow Sea stealing her home for the first time, and was attacked by the main fleet when she was sailing to King's Landing—— Come!

In fact, they were not raided - Volantis had received a message from Rees as early as the afternoon before yesterday, warning that he had been attacked by a fleet flying the red dragon flag.However, this news did not give the city-state much time to prepare for the war: just one night later, the enemy's sails appeared in the sight of the watchtower.

The enemy attack followed the alarm, which meant two possibilities: Either the Queen's fleet bypassed Reese and went straight to Volantis...or Reese was defeated by the enemy without even blocking the Queen's fleet for half a day.

Given that we're talking about a middling hedonistic city-state known for its arts, luxuries, bed slaves, and her/their erotic skills, the latter is a strong possibility.

……

As soon as the queen's fleet approached Volantis, it opened fire with all its firepower. Using the terrifying weapon called "cannon", it destroyed the left-behind fleet that the city-state had hastily organized like leaves, and then sailed into its surrounding area with extreme arrogance. The huge and well-known natural deep-water port, large enough to accommodate the entire Braavos, calmly broke down outside the range of the catapults and ballistas, and began the long bombardment that had lasted for a day and a half.

Although both the bombardment frequency and the accuracy are greatly reduced at night, the terrible rumbling sound that resounds every once in a while can still regularly dispel the sleepiness accumulated by the residents and defenders, making people feel restless for a moment.

The fortifications and weapons near the sea have been completely destroyed, the morale and fighting will of the defenders have also been weakened to the bottom, and the nobles of Volantis are ready to abandon the outer city... But the enemy has slowed down the bombardment The rhythm, but they never started the landing operation they expected.

After a brief meeting, the Consul Group made the following analysis: Either the surprise attack fleet that came from afar was formed in a hurry, and there was no strong landing force to destroy the city-state defenders; or they were waiting for allies inside the city-state Revolt, so as to achieve internal and external cooperation... Take the city at the lowest cost!

If there is doubt, there will naturally be an object of doubt.

And when it comes to the suspects who may set off a rebellion in the city, the number one is naturally Messing Wesley and the "Thor" mercenary group he established-the target that is currently on the defensive and alert: Volantis Red The temple is gone.

The Great Red Temple is really a "big" Red Temple. This group of buildings located on the east of Lorne and close to the black wall is three times the size of King's Landing Baylor Cathedral. It consists of huge pillars, stairs, buttresses, stone arches, Its domes and towers were one piece, as if hewn from the same rock, and looked a little like Aegon's Hill standing there.Since the Valyrian Freedom Fortress was destroyed in the doomsday catastrophe, it has become the new religious center of the Red God Cult and the place where the High Priest resides.

Of course, "big" is not its crime. What really makes the rulers of Volantis vigilant is that the Red God Cult officials have been promoting Daenerys Targaryen as the prophesied prince and the savior of all mankind. And the most noble queen; even the night watchman who assisted her, in the public opinion campaign of R'hllor's believers, is also R'hllor's representative in the world...

The Great Red Temple once used all available relationships and forces to try to prevent the establishment of the Tiger Party's supremacy and the anti-Dragon Mother alliance.Coincidentally, it also has a thousand religious armed forces called "Holy Fire Hands".Its constituent soldiers were bought by the Red God Temple as slaves since they were young, and they were brainwashed and trained in the model of the Unsullied...With the bonus of religious fanaticism, supplemented by the excellent weapons and equipment supported by the strong funds of the Red God Sect, the combat effectiveness is absolutely incomparable underestimate.

Motivation, ability... Both have both, this is the dangerous moment when the Consul Corps may meet the enemy's landing attack at any time, and still insists on separating a mercenary regiment to station outside the Great Red Temple to prevent their possible rebellion and attack. The cause of the incident.

Although the group of slave owners sent the mercenary group special arrows that were said to be able to curb magic, Messing Weasley's mouth was full of bitterness when he thought of the legendary abilities of the mysterious and unpredictable Red God priests. I would rather be sent to the port to be bombarded.

Fortunately, the slave owners were not stupid enough to think that a small and medium-sized mercenary group of less than a thousand people could suppress and eliminate the Red God Cult's rebellion—this kind of task can only be achieved by first-class mercenary groups like the Golden Group. It is possible to complete.Messing and his "Thunder God" regiment were sent here mainly because the concentration of Red God believers in the "Tiger Robe Army" of the city-state guards was too high, which was not suitable for monitoring and guarding the Laheluo Temple. Their mission was actually It is also very simple: when the rebellion was launched in the Great Red Temple, a slight delay was given to stop it, and at the same time, the information was circulated, so that the slave owners had time to shrink the front line and withdraw their troops back to the inner city.

Although it is still dangerous, at least there is the possibility and hope of completion.

Complaining inwardly, Messing cheered up again and went to the barricade—the forefront of the defense of the mercenary regiment for inspection.

It is true that the "Thor" regiment is a small mercenary regiment, but the loyalty, unity, and combat quality within the regiment are not bad. This is why the slave owners of Volantis can fancy and hire them , when every mercenary saw Messing coming to inspect, he immediately stood upright with his chest straightened out, greeted him with respect and reported the latest situation.

So far, the gate of the Red Temple is closed, and no abnormalities have been shown.

"Keep your eyes wide open!" Messing felt a little relieved when he turned around and found no one dozing off or being lazy, but he still couldn't help telling him repeatedly, "Even if a mouse or half a shadow comes from the Red Temple Sneak out and give me an alarm immediately!"

As if deliberately dismantling the stage, before his words fell, the alarm sounded suddenly, but the source of the alarm was not the Great Red Temple at the north end of the street, but the south—the darkness opposite the Great Red Temple.

At the end of the empty street where the curfew should have been enforced, suddenly a large area of ​​bright torches burst out.Before the mercenaries saw the identity of the comer and turned around to arrange a defensive formation, the majestic main entrance of the Red Temple behind them also opened with a rumbling sound. The Holy Fire Hands with spears stepped out of it in a line, calmly lined up, and the other side was hidden in the light of the torches and couldn't see their faces...Hundreds of mercenaries were sandwiched in the middle of the street, forming a situation of catching a turtle in a urn.

Chapter 731 Volantis

Cold sweat rolled down Messing Wesley's forehead. He had been a mercenary for 20 years, so it was not difficult to see that his own side had been cut off from the rear and had fallen into a dead end.

But before he could make a decision to make a desperate breakout in a certain direction, the mysterious torch team that emerged from the darkness at the southern end stopped about a hundred meters away, and a tall and thin figure in a red robe came from Walking out of the crowd, ignoring the dozens of crossbow arrows that were shining coldly at him in the night, he walked towards the mercenaries' defense line.

"Put down the crossbow." Messing pressed down on the guys held by the cronies around him, and at the same time ordered in a low voice to the soldiers who were a little far behind.Familiar with the rules of the Red God Sect, he has already recognized the identity of this person from the style of the red robe on his body: a priest, and a high-ranking priest!

Several mercenary regiments similar to his own "Thor" regiment blocked every entrance and exit of the Great Red Temple to prevent its personnel from leaving, but the high-ranking priest in front of him escaped their surveillance and went to other places in the city. place!

How many such caught fish are there?

What did they do in the city?

What happened to the large group of people holding torches brought back from outside now?

Countless question marks popped up in the head of the mercenary group, but he realized that this is not the time to be curious about these questions.The current situation is: if the opponent wants to harm his mercenary group, he only needs to order a two-sided attack, and he can easily win without any suspense... But he chose to come to negotiate alone.Is it because I am confident that I will not mention it first, as the head of the mercenary group, it is absolutely impossible for me to give up the opportunity to find a way out for myself and my subordinates.

"Your Excellency, the Archon has ordered the entire city of Volantis to implement a curfew and martial law. Why did you violate the order and walk on the streets with a large number of unidentified people?"

The words are stern questioning, but the tone is a soothing and relaxed greeting—Messing Weasley is expressing in this way: you have something to say, don't do it.

The unknown red-robed monk obviously received this signal, he bowed slightly to the leader, and responded in a friendly manner.

"As you can see, the Great Red Temple is determined to stand up and fight for the prophesied prince, overthrowing the decadent slave owner class that is oppressing the people of Volantis." He opened his arms slightly, as if embracing the void, It seemed to be showing the military strength behind him, "Many of my colleagues and I left the Red Temple and went to various places in the city before the martial law and night fell. At this moment, thousands of slaves have been called to break the shackles and fight for freedom. There are two choices before you now: Either be caught between the liberators I bring wrath and the 'Holy Fire Hand' behind you, and be buried in this street, or surrender to me, for the prince of prophecy Fight against R'hllor. If I remember the name correctly... Captain Messing, please give me an answer immediately?"

Under normal circumstances, a local mercenary group like the "Thor" group, which is known for its elite and high quality, and relies on word of mouth and repeat customers, will not surrender to the enemy casually.

But when faced with a special situation where the winning rate is zero and there is no way to escape, this principle can actually float.

Messin had already made a decision in an instant, but it would be too cowardly for the enemy to surrender as soon as he gave an ultimatum... In order to make the scene less ugly and to make it clear, he still pretended to be neither humble nor humble and asked loudly: "So, may I ask Your Excellency, if I order to surrender, what will you do with our regiment, and what are your plans for the future?"

"The Great Red Temple will immediately re-hire the noble group at a price not lower than the market price - just to use the face of the head of the group to complete a task that is difficult to accomplish by force alone." The red-robed monk patiently and gently Answer, anyway, this explanation work will be done sooner or later, "The soldiers of your regiment except the commander and senior officers need to be disarmed. My people will receive your armor and weapons and disguise themselves as soldiers of your regiment. The senior officers led them to the entrance of the 'Black Wall' and entered it on the grounds of falsely claiming that they had received an order to help defend the inner city. The next thing...the regiment leader doesn't have to worry about it."

It turns out that the purpose of the Queen's Fleet's delay in launching the landing operation is to wait for the right time to take down the entire city-state in one fell swoop!

Messing suddenly realized.
