Chapter 256 Changes in Situation

As the former giant of Qohor, Kos Soyd now looks much older, and his face has lost the arrogance and confidence. Apart from fear and uneasiness, there are no other unnecessary emotions in his eyes.

When he was taken to Linde's study and saw Linde, he immediately knelt down and saluted Linde with an unprecedented humility.

After Linde signed the document in his hand, he handed it to the attendant to be sent to Mus. Then he looked at Kos Soyd who was kneeling on the ground and said: "It is impossible to develop a character in a person's lifetime. What has changed in just a few months, whether you have really surrendered or pretended to be surrendered, it doesn't matter to me." As he said that, he took out a piece of paper from the desk and threw it to Kos. , said: "This is the way to deal with you. Take a look! My tribe members, you go and persuade me. I don't want anyone to jump out and look for trouble during the treatment process."

Lao Kes quickly picked up the paper on the ground and read it word for word carefully. The fearful and uneasy look on his face gradually dissipated. The huge ups and downs of emotions made him unable to maintain his expression, and he burst into tears.

On the way to the Summer Hall being escorted by Kohol, Old Kos was already prepared for the worst, because if this kind of thing happened to him, he would never forgive the thief and his family, and he would use the best possible means. The cruel methods used to deal with the thief and his family made everyone who knew about it fear him and not dare to do it again.

So on the way, many people in the family have committed suicide because they could not bear the pressure, which also forced the escorting personnel to protect them. Otherwise, when they were escorted to Shengxia Hall, everyone would die, and they would be Can't tell clearly.

When they were imprisoned in Shengxia Hall, all their family's servants, hired workers, etc. were taken away. Later, their distant relatives, side branches, etc. were also taken away. Only the family members were left incarcerated and ignored. This invisible pressure caused some tribesmen to commit suicide.

Kos also wanted to commit suicide, but he didn't dare, not because he didn't dare to die, but because he was worried that if he, the culprit, died, Linde would vent his anger on others.

In fact, his humble salute to Linde just now was completely sincere, because Linde summoned him to the castle, which was a relief for him.

And now he was completely out of control and crying bitterly, not only because of the excessive emotional ups and downs, but also because he was crying for the clan members who died on the road and in prison.

Linde did not impose the death penalty on the Soyd family, but dispersed them to various territories controlled by the Summer Hall to serve their sentences according to their respective abilities. The farthest ones were assigned to the Stone Steps Islands, and the nearest one was in Redemption Town.

Their sentences ranged from a few months to a few years. A few of the Soyd family leaders, such as Lao Kesi, were imprisoned for life. They stayed in the library of the Quiet Court all their lives and were responsible for copying books, cleaning and other tasks. After serving their sentences, They can leave Summer Hall or continue living in Summer Hall.

Linde never thought about imposing the death penalty on the Soyd family from the beginning. What he wanted was the craftsmen, scholars and thousand-year family heritage of the Soyd family, and the members of the Soyd family and others were just incidental. , now that he has completely emptied the Soyd family, the wealth collection has been received into the treasure house, and the talents have been scattered throughout the Summer Hall, so there is no need for him to imprison the Soyd family anymore.

He is not worried at all that the Soyd family will make a comeback after serving their sentences and leaving, because the Soyd family will no longer be able to regain their previous power. They will only become worse, not better, after leaving Summer Hall. .

In fact, there are many smart people in the Soyd family. Most of them have recognized the reality and did not resist the subsequent distribution. They accepted the arrangement honestly and even worked hard to show themselves during their sentence. The talents and abilities should be kept in mind and strive to be employed by a suitable department after serving the sentence.

Whether these Soyds sincerely give up their hatred and work for themselves, or they are dormant, infiltrating various departments of Shengxia Hall and seeking a comeback, it doesn't matter to Linde, as long as they do the things at hand seriously. That's it.

After solving all kinds of things in the Soyd family, the things Linde had to do every day became single and boring. He dealt with various chores, inquired about the progress of projects such as the Sphinx Courtyard, various temples and the Silent Courtyard, and accompanied others. Augustus was playing around, training the pterosaurs, etc. It wasn't until he received a letter from Nymeria that his life in the backwaters started to change a little bit.

Ever since Nymeria left the Summer Hall, she has not given any news to Lind. Only the people who followed Nymeria to Na Sa star will send some intelligence information one after another, allowing Lind to have a general understanding of Nymeria. Case.

This time, Nymeria wrote a letter for the first time. The content of the letter was simple and direct. It was a narration of what happened after she left Summer Hall. Most of the content was Volantis's experience.

What surprised Lind was that she actually got involved in the internal affairs of Volantis, and with her prompting, the Tiger Party and the Elephant Party actually put aside their years of disputes and reconciled, and her letters hinted that Judging from the content of the book, the reconciled Volantis seems to be preparing to take action against Lys after the Dothraki in the disputed land leave.

According to the available intelligence, the Dothraki horse king war in the disputed land is coming to an end. In the end, as Lind suspected, Khal Drogo became the final winner. According to tradition, he will He will take his glory to Vaes Dothraki to sacrifice, and meet Doshkarin to obtain the prophecy.

Now the reason why Khal Drogo has not left is entirely because he is waiting for Lys, Myr, and Tyrosh to pay tribute to him and prepare enough food and fodder. According to the intelligence recently obtained by Lind, the Dothraki warriors under Khal Drogo have already Up to 100,000 people, not counting the accompanying slaves. If slaves are included, the number will be at least 200,000.

If such a large team migrates without enough food and grass, it will definitely be a huge disaster, not only for the team itself, but also for the towns the team passes along the way. After all, the Dothraki have always been There is a custom of eating locally.

Therefore, the number of merchants sent to Westeros by Lys, Myr and Tyrosh to purchase food has doubled. Even Pentos is preparing a large amount of food, because under normal circumstances the Dothraki will definitely leave. After the Disputed Land, go to Pentos, then take the Valyrian Road, pass through Norvos, Qohor, and return to the Dothraki Sea, so prepare tributes in advance and send the Dothraki away as soon as possible. The most important thing for Pentos right now.

Because of this, Nymeria also asked Lind in her letter to temporarily dispatch the people of Ge Dohe to Na Sa to assist her in rebuilding Na Sa and avoid conflict with Khal Drogo. Produce unnecessary casualties.

"Why did Nymeria suddenly decide to rebuild Na Sa?" Lind asked the Sister of Redemption who sent the letter.

"Because when Lady Nymeria arrived on Na Sa, many Rhoynar survivors had already gathered on Na Sa. Nymeria was elected Queen of Rhoynar at that time." Sister of Redemption said. There was something that Nymeria didn't write in the letter and didn't mention in the information she sent.

"Elected to be the queen of the Rhoynar?" Linde was completely confused by the news, but he soon came to his senses and said with a serious look: "Tell me more about what happened."

After hearing Lind's order, the Redemption Sister who was protecting Nymeria's safety immediately told her what she had seen and learned in detail.

It turns out that this matter is still related to Linde. After Linde reached an agreement with the Old Man of the River, the Old Man of the River passed the news to his followers through dreams that the descendants of the Queen of the Rhoynar would rebuild Na Sa. .

Among His followers, the vast majority are descendants of the Rhoynar, so through these descendants, it was passed down from ten to ten, and eventually spread to the entire remaining Rhoynar clan living along the banks of the Rhoyne River. Therefore, these Rhonar descendants The Yina people rushed to Na Sa Star one after another, preparing to clean up the ruins of Na Sa Star and prepare for the reconstruction of Na Sa Star.

When Nymeria arrived on Nar Sar, tens of thousands of Rhoynar descendants had gathered on Nar Sar. When Nymeria appeared in front of them, everyone recognized her from her identical appearance. After Nymeria came out, the old man from the river, who happened to have concluded an agreement with Lind at that time, appeared and saluted Nymeria. A series of coincidences came together, which made all the Rhoynar people extremely emotional at that time. Excited and excited, Nymeria had to agree to become the queen of the Rhoynar to calm down the restless atmosphere.

When the Sister of Redemption left Na Sa, Na Sa had already gathered 100,000 Rhoynar descendants, and it is said that a large number of Rhoynar descendants are coming one after another. The final number may be 200,000. about.

After listening to the Sister of Redemption's narration, Lind couldn't help but rub his forehead, because Lind's plan was to rebuild the Nasa star after regaining the disputed land, but now the unexpected situation on Nymeria's side has completely disrupted it. It messed up his plan, but he couldn't get Nymeria to stop rebuilding and leave the Rhoynar behind, so he had to re-plan some things.

For example, none of the funds and materials needed for the reconstruction of Na Sa Star have been prepared, and they can only find it from other places. Fortunately, the Soyd family has accumulated a rich family fortune for thousands of years. Coupled with its own capital reserves and trade interests, Linde Don't worry too much about financial issues.

In terms of materials, it was difficult for him to allocate them from Shengxia Hall, because there were also many projects in Shengxia Hall, and all kinds of materials could only be packed tightly, and there was no way to squeeze out any excess materials, so he could only get them from Purchase it in Volantis and Norvos, and then transport it directly to Narsa via the Rhoyne River.

In the following months, Linde paid close attention to the affairs of the Essos continent. For this reason, he even moved his office to Miracle Port, so that when something happened on the Essos continent, he would be the first to report it. Be aware and respond.

In fact, what he did was very correct. Not long after he moved his administrative center to Miracleport, Khal Drogo led his Dothraki army to leave the disputed area.

However, Khal Drogo did not take the Valyrian Road to the north as Lind expected. Instead, after taking the tribute delivered by Pantos, he went directly south, taking the Orange Coast, and on the Volanti Before Si could react, he sacked Velonthes, crossed the Rhoyne River through the swamp fords, passed through the Valyrian road of Sar Mel, passed outside the city of Volantis, and then took the south road. The Valyrian Avenue, known as the Devil's Avenue, moves towards Slaver's Bay.

Lind didn't quite understand Khal Drogo's actions at first. It wasn't until various news came from the disputed land that he realized that Khal Drogo's movement route was easy to take and difficult to choose entirely because Lind had previously the impact of some actions.

The Greenblood River orphans sent by Linde to Gol Doho and the Rhoynar gathered by Nymeria on the planet Na Sa, the total number has reached hundreds of thousands, many of them are warriors, and such a large number of This force is located just to the north near the Valyrian Way.

Even though Linde had ordered Gol Doho's people to take refuge on Na Sa before the Dothraki arrived, the Dothraki didn't know that. What Khal Drogo knew was that there were more than 100,000 People with unknown intentions were stationed in the north.

Although Khal Drogo is famous for his bravery, he is not stupid. He knows very well that although he claims to have one hundred thousand warriors, only two or three thousand of these one hundred thousand warriors are truly under his control, and the remaining tens of thousands are The defeated KaLS that he temporarily collected have not yet been completely integrated into his own KaLS. These people's morale is low and they can only wave the flag and shout. Forcibly pushing them onto the battlefield will only hinder him.

So after obtaining enough food and grass, he chose to avoid Nymeria and others in the north, take the Devil's Road in the south, and loot the towns of Volantis.

During this migration of the Dothraki, Lind also suffered some indirect losses. Some of the grain and grass he purchased in Volantis were piled in Velonthes before they could be transported away. As a result, they were destroyed by Dothraki. The Rak were all robbed, and even some people from Summerhall were captured by the Dothraki.

If there is nothing else, Lind may lead the Miracle Fleet directly to Slaver's Bay, intercept the Dothraki army in Slaver's Bay, save his men, and teach Khal Drogo a lesson by the way. His braids, but now Lind's attention is entirely on the disputed land, and the kidnapped people can only be rescued through other methods.

Therefore, when Lind received the news, the Miracle Chamber of Commerce in Volantis sent a letter to the Miracle Chamber of Commerce branch in Slaver's Bay through the Faith Eagle, asking them to pay attention to Khal Drogo's team, because those Dothraki After people arrive at Slaver's Bay, they will definitely sell all the excess captives and slaves on hand. At that time, the Miracle Merchant Guild can redeem the kidnapped people.

About two months after the Dothraki left the disputed land, Linde sent people to deliver the previously prepared Tyroshi bonds to the Tyroshi king, and at the same time moved the headquarters of the Miracle Fleet to Blackstone Island. On the grounds of maintaining and repairing the pier, an additional 5,000 soldiers of the God's Chosen Corps were dispatched to the Tyrosh Port Terminal.
