All-Heavens Spellcaster

When Tyrion became official and political ally, Zhang Cheng will be completely free hand, command Blanco unlimited expansion mercenary team.

In just one month or so, the number of mercenaries has swelled from two to three hundred to eight hundred.

Additionally, on the surface, it belongs directly to King Joffrey, but in fact the military power is in his hands. The 1,500 newly recruited city defense forces actually have more than 2,000 in his hand. An army of one hundred men.

Don’t underestimate this point. You must know that these two thousand two hundred people are not mobs made up of improvisations, nor are they farmers who are on the battlefield with pitchforks, but rather a profession. In the army, almost every soldier has several lives in his hands.

Perhaps many people are dissatisfied with the military power in the song of Ice and Fire. They think that a continent equivalent to Earth South America has only tens of thousands of people in a battle, which is more frequent than the ancient times. The battle of hundred thousand people, millions of people is simply weak.

In fact, behind this phenomenon, on the one hand, there is a huge gap between the feudal system and the mobilization ability of a centralized government, and on the other hand is the difference between professional and non-professional military.

Soldiers in the Westeros army often do not need to be engaged in productive labor. Since joining a certain family, they have been engaged in various training and battles, regardless of experience or psychological quality. Far more powerful than those farmers who were temporarily recruited.

So, like Robb Stark led an army of 20,000 to go south, his 20,000 are not temporarily recruited farmers, but fully armed professional soldiers.

It can be said that the war on the Westeros continent is closer to a duel between elites than a full-scale war.

Once the main force of a family is devastated, it is basically difficult to recruit an army of the same quality in a short time.

What does it mean that Zhang Cheng has an army of more than 2,000 people?

For the simplest example, only the Florent family of Liangshuicheng, a prominent family in the Hewan area, can afford a professional army of more than two thousand people, and with this The army, they even dared to publicly complain and question the Tyrell family’s dominance in the River Bend area many times.

Unfortunately, this family obviously did not learn the ability of the Tyrell family to be a rudder.

According to the development of the plot, after the death of Lanly, the economic queen Olena Redwin will immediately choose to join forces with the Lannister family, and they choose to join Stannis and are ultimately defined as traitors , Lost territory and noble titles.

Unfortunately, Zhang Cheng took a fancy to this point and reached an agreement with Tywin Lannister in advance. As long as he contributes enough to defending King’s Landing, he will It will become the new bright water city Earl.

Interestingly, this secret transaction was not approved by the Florent family of the City Lord of the city…

As Tyrion was appointed as the former prime minister, He began to exercise his rights and obligations, racing against time to build a defense system for Junlin City, hoping to turn this messy city into an unbreakable fortress before the war.

But he obviously overlooked one point. After the shadow of war fell, the prices of various necessities of life began to soar.

Especially the food that depends on survival, almost every day refreshes people’s perception of prices.

After all, after Lan Li married Margaret Tyrell, the Tyrell family turned to this self-reliant youngster. Naturally, they would not continue to continuously provide all kinds of cheap Food, fruits and vegetables.

“Damn it! This is the fourth riot of the poor this week! We must find a way to get them something to eat! Otherwise, we will be in a hurry before the enemy hits the door.” Tyrion sat in the chair, grumbled with gnashing teeth.

“Don’t worry, they are just a group of unarmed poor people, I have suppressed it for you. But really, you should really give them something to eat, even if it’s just a bowl of batter. “After all, Bolong ignored the large amount of blood stained on his armor and took a sip of wine from the bottle.

Just when the little devil wanted to say something and so on, Zhang Cheng suddenly opened the door and rushed in. He greeted with a smile: “Good morning, honorable Prime Minister, I I just got a good news and a bad news. Which one are you going to listen to first?”

“Good morning, Sir Mason. I’m almost exhausted, so don’t sell it, just tell me what happened. What?” Tyrion rubbed his dry eyes and laughed at himself.

You can tell from the tired expression on his face that he hasn’t slept well for several days.

“Hehe, the good news is that Baron Greyjoy of the Iron Islands once again became king of himself and began to sweep the entire northern territory along the sea. Our invincible Robb Stark, pick up Next, I will face a difficult choice, whether to return to the army to protect my lair, or to continue south to approach King’s Landing.” Zhang Cheng keenly sensed the exhaustion of the other party, so blunt gave the first news.

After listening to this sentence, Tyrion’s eyes lit up and he laughed and clapped his hands: “hahahaha! Great! This is the first one I have heard since I became Prime Minister Good news! It’s worth a toast! Bolong! Quickly, pour me a glass of wine!”

“As you wish, my lord.” The mercenary chief smiled and raised the wine bottle and moved the table. The empty glass on top is full.

Without a word, the little devil picked it up and filled it cleanly, then wiped his mouth, his expression quickly became very solemn: “Say, what’s the bad news? I’m mentally prepared “

Zhang Cheng’s mouth curled up slightly, replied in a slightly low tone: “The bad news is that Lan Li was assassinated in his tent and died on the spot. Now his brother Stannis Bye Laxi En, accepted almost all men, is leading a hundred thousand people approaching army advance toward monarchs. my dear friend, a strong enough opponent come …… “

” ten …… Hundred thousand?!!!”

The entire face of Bolong became distorted when he learned the number of enemies.

There is no way not to be distorted. It is important to know that the entire Junlin City combined with men, women, old and young only has a population of about 500,000.

“Is your source accurate?” Compared to lose one’s head out of fear, Tyrion is more calm, except for the slight uncontrollable shaking of his legs.

“100% accurate! And I can tell you! Langley’s death, it was Stannis around a Priestess holds the magic power is, so you better be careful.”

After saying this, Zhang Cheng ignored the other party’s failure to understand, turned around and left the room, disappearing at the end of the chaotic street…
