Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory

After a year, the plague in Westeros was completely suppressed, and King Robert designated the day when the last patient in King's Landing recovered and left the quarantine area as the Day of Redemption.

Although this great plague did not spread to the inland towns of Westeros like the great spring plague a hundred years ago, and was promptly banned by major cities, the speed and extent of the outbreak was so great. The intensity is much greater than it was a hundred years ago.

Take King's Landing as an example. Although it can't be said that there are ten rooms and nine empty rooms, there are still as many as four or five empty rooms. Moreover, one person got sick and the whole family was infected. In the end, the whole family died, just like the people in Flea Bottom died. Less than five thousand people were killed, and the bodies burned in the dragon's lair piled up like mountains. It would take at least several months or even longer to completely clean up.

Although other cities are better than King's Landing, they are not as good as they are, especially White Harbor. The population of White Harbor, which was originally located in the northern border, is not very large. This time, so many people have died in the great plague, which has already damaged their muscles and bones.

In addition, population loss is only one of the problems faced by the lords of various big cities. All troubles such as taxation, inheritance, and public security gradually broke out as the plague subsided. Even Robert had to give up his hobbies and honestly He actually sits on the Iron Throne and handles various affairs.

The situation on the other side of the Narrow Sea is somewhat similar to that of Westeros. With the Archbishop Liga of the Temple of the Storm God obtaining medicine from the Summer Hall, the plague in Braavos was gradually controlled and soon subsided. The Storm God The reputation of the temple also gradually increased during this process. After the plague, the number of followers of the Storm God was second only to those of the Moonsingers, and it can be said to be the second largest religious belief in Braavos.

Compared with the belief in the Storm God that only grew in Braavos, the belief in the God of Scourge quickly spread to other cities in the Free Trade City through this great plague, not to mention those city-states that encountered the plague. Even Novos, who had not encountered the plague, built a temple to the God of Scourge, and this was approved by the bearded priests.

As for Qohor itself, it was because of Lind that he had developed the belief in the God of Natural Disasters. This time, the number of believers was further increased, completely suppressing the belief in the Black Goat God and the Lord of Light. They were originally enemies. The two religious forces had to join forces to barely be able to resist the rising belief in the god of natural disasters.

The same situation also happened in Volantis. After the Church of the God of Scourge solved the plague, a temple appeared in the center of the city, opposite the Red Temple of the Lord of Light.

Malphas did not stop in Volantis. After dealing with the plague in Volantis, he immediately took his people to Slaver's Bay. For Malphas, this plague was a mission of the God of Disaster. The best opportunity. Once you miss this opportunity, you don’t know when you will have to wait until the next one.

However, Malfas soon led his people back to the disputed area from Slaver's Bay, because the plague in Slaver's Bay did not last long and was quickly extinguished.

Since most of the plague spread among slaves, when the plague broke out, the slave owners of Slaver Bay used the simplest and crudest way to solve the plague. The method was to directly bury all the infected slaves in Slaver Bay, completely Eliminate the source of the disease.

Although they did not demonstrate the power of the God of Natural Disasters, the three major cities in Slaver's Bay still built a temple for the God of Natural Disasters, and almost all the people who believed in the God of Natural Disasters were slaves.

Compared to the plagues in the Seven Kingdoms, the Free Cities, and Slaver's Bay, as the source of this great plague, the situation of the Dothraki is obviously worse.

The Dothraki themselves are very taboo about witchcraft and other things, and wizards, witches and other people are even more discriminated against by them. They are not even willing to touch these people, let alone accept treatment from these people.

And these people who are discriminated against by them all know some medical skills more or less, and these medical skills are much better than the original treatment methods of the Dothraki.

Even if the plague cannot be completely solved, it can more or less suppress its spread.

In the absence of effective containment of the plague, the Dothraki like to wander around. The final result is that all the Kals on the Dothraki Sea fell into the great plague, and even Vaes Dothraki was not spared. .

However, the many Doshkarins living in Vaes Dothraki were many who were proficient in medical skills. They quickly contained the plague and treated many Kals tribes who came to Vaes Dothraki. And thus gained quite a reputation.

The other Kals tribes wandering in the grasslands were not so lucky. They could only rely on their own bodies and beliefs to resist the erosion of the plague. A large number of Dothraki died of the disease, and many Kals tribes perished as a result.

As the source of this great plague, Khal Drogo's kars naturally suffered the most deaths. When he left the disputed land, he had as many as 100,000 Dothraki warriors, but when he arrived When Vaes Dothraki came to power, there were only over 20,000 Dothraki warriors left under his command.

Many of these 20,000 people were the result of the annexation of other KaLS that he encountered on the road and were weakened by the plague. If these people are not included, there are only a few Dothraki warriors left in his hands. Thousands of people, so as many as 90,000 Dothraki warriors died on his way.

Even if the powerful Dothraki warriors were like this, the situation of those servants and slaves was naturally even more miserable. All the weak children and old people died, and only some strong Jakarang were still alive.

The Dothraki suffered heavy losses in the Great Plague, which is a good thing for any city-state living under the Dothraki's iron heel, because in the next few years, the Dothraki should be in Dothraki. The Lark Sea can annex each other or recuperate, and will no longer threaten the security of the city-state.

Linde also used this great plague to complete control of the disputed land and the three major city-states in a short period of time, much shorter than he expected.

Although the systems of the three major city-states remain roughly the same, the military and security powers of the city-states are in the hands of Linde. Half of the city's taxes are handed over to Shengxia Hall, and half of the remaining half is allocated for use. Only a quarter of military expenditures and other expenditures were used for the construction and maintenance of the city.

All city-states elect chief trade governors and chief ruling governors from governors, consuls and merchants in accordance with Mill's separation of powers. They are responsible for managing all governors and maintaining the power of the city-state, while the military governors are appointed by the Summer Hall. They are usually garrison generals and generally do not interfere in the government affairs of the city-state.

The Holy City of the God of Natural Disasters was also initially established during the Great Plague. The jurisdiction of the Holy City was not in the hands of the temple of the God of Natural Disasters, but was directly controlled by Linde. The city garrison was also responsible for the Divine Chosen Corps. The situation and Miracle Harbor is almost the same.

The only difference is that the Temple of the God of Disaster is allowed to form a church armed force called the Sons of Disaster. The number of this church armed force is limited to a maximum of 1,000 people, and only those who pass the natural disaster trial established by Lind are allowed to become a church armed force. The child of disaster.

The reconstruction of Na Sa Star was also particularly smooth. Because it was not affected by the great plague, there were sufficient resources, and there was no need to lay a foundation. Na Sa Star was soon built on the original site.

More and more Rhoynar people gathered here, and the population soon exceeded 200,000, reaching the limit of the population that Nasa could accommodate. For this reason, Nymeria had to divert the population and distribute some of it. When they arrived at Gol Dohor, they worked with the Greenblood River Orphans to rebuild Gol Dohor, and the other part was assigned to A Noy to rebuild this former Rhoynar city-state.

On the eve of the end of the Great Plague in Volantis, Nymeria led her long-prepared Rhoynar fleet to clear out the river pirates in Dagger Lake.

With the help of the old man in the river, she easily eliminated the river pirates' boats on the lake. She was not polite to the river pirates who were hiding in the caves on the islands on the lake. She directly threw a large amount of wet firewood into the caves and poured them into the caves. Thick smoke was poured into it, and then the entrance of the cave was completely sealed with a large number of stones.

After that, she built three water fortresses on the lake and formed three water fleets to collect the fish that slipped through the lake.

At this point, Nymeria has controlled the middle reaches of the Rhoyne River, and a large area centered on Nasa is also in her hands.

"You want to found a country?" Lind said with slight surprise when he looked at Nymeria, whose temperament was completely different from the past.

After completing the initial control of the middle section of the Rhoyne River, Nymeria took Augustus back to Summer Hall.

However, she did not intend to stay here for a long time when she came back this time, but had other plans.

"Do you object?" Nymeria has changed greatly at this moment. This change is not a change in appearance and figure, but a change in temperament.

In the past, Nymeria was more like a female warrior, but now Nymeria is a queen. She also has the kingly temperament of Robert, and her tone of voice always has a hint of king. of majesty.

Faced with Nymeria like this, Lind was always a little uncomfortable. He picked up Augustus who was hugging his thigh and asked the Sister of Redemption to take him to the dragon's lair to relieve his emotions.

When there were only the couple left in the room, he asked directly: "Are you planning to stay in Na Sa Star forever?"

Nymeria was silent for a moment and nodded.

"What should I do in Tengshi Town?" Linde asked.

Nymeria looked like she still wanted to ask, and said, "We are husband and wife, and Tengshi Town naturally belongs to you."

"Have you ever thought about how the Iron Throne would react?" Lind asked again.

Nymeria asked, "Do we still need to worry about the Iron Throne's reaction?"

Although Lind wanted to refute Nymeria, he could not find the words to refute, because as Nymeria said, he really did not need to worry about the reaction of the Iron Throne now.

After the Great Plague, not only the Iron Throne was extremely weak, but also the other great lords suffered heavy losses. Now they should be more worried about whether the powerful Summer Hall will expand, and worry about Nymeria establishing a country on the Essos continent. .

Lind thought for a while and asked, "What are you going to name that country?"

When she heard Linde ask this, Nymeria knew that Linde had agreed. Although she was extremely confident when she came, she was still a little uneasy. After all, the reason why she was able to establish Nasa Star now was completely It was relying on Linde's reputation and material support. If Linde opposed her founding a country, then she would have to give up this decision that she had considered for a long time.

In fact, establishing a Rhoynar kingdom on the Rhoyne River was not a sudden decision on her part. She had already had such an idea in her mind from the moment she went to Na Sa. Every decision of Na Sa Xing is carried out based on the founding of the country, including building a political system, establishing an army, assigning territories, etc. The only thing missing now is Linde's support.

However, she was always uneasy before meeting Linde, because she knew very well how excessive her demands were. Once the country was established, she, as the leader of the country, would need to stay in her country for a long time. She didn't know what Linde's request was. Will you accept this practice of couples living in two places?

But now, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on her face, and said, "I plan to just use the name Lorne."

"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, what will be your next step?" Linde asked.

Nymeria thought for a while and said: "I plan to build a road to connect the Valyrian Avenue from Mir to Pentos. This will be more closely connected to the Summer Hall, and all kinds of materials can be directly transported from For land transportation, there is no need to go through Volantis.”

"Yes!" Linde nodded and said, "I will ask the people in Myr to assist you."

Nymeria added: "In addition, I will expand the kingdom's territory southward to Heartbreak Ridge, which is Chayon."

Linde asked: "Chayon seems to be occupied by a group of stone people. How do you plan to deal with the greyscale disease on the stone people?"

"Is there any way to cure this disease in the Black Cave?" Nymeria asked.

"It's very difficult." Linde shook his head slightly and said: "There is no good treatment for this disease at the moment. Folk rumors say that cutting off the infected parts has been tried by Black Grotto, but the effect was mediocre. At that time, maybe It seems to be cured, but other parts of the healer that were not infected will soon become petrified again..."

As he spoke, Linde suddenly stopped. He seemed to have thought of something. After a while, he said: "I will build a small town specializing in greyscale research near Chayon. When the time comes, you will be in charge of the town. Safe, and enter Chayon to capture the Stonemen."

"Have you thought of any solution?" Nymeria asked.

Linde nodded and said: "I know that a potion can be used to relieve the petrified state, but that potion is used for the petrified state at the magical level. It is not clear whether it is also effective for petrifying diseases, and that kind of potion is used for petrification at the magical level. The materials required for the potion have become extinct. We need to try other materials to see if we can find replacements. This process may take several years. "

"It's okay, there's no rush for now." Nymeria didn't care, and then she looked at Lind with a strange look in her eyes and said, "The third thing after the founding of the country is also very important, and we have to do it now. "

"What is it? Is it going to happen now?" Linde was stunned and asked.

Nymeria walked up to Lind, took the initiative to hug him, and said, "We still need another child. He or she will become the heir to the Kingdom of Lorne."

After saying that, he couldn't wait to pull Lind towards the castle bedroom.
