Chapter 80: Conspiracy

The pyramid of the Zak family is the shortest among the pyramids of Meereen, only forty or fifty meters high.

But at this time, six great masters gathered in the pyramid.

The six of them are representatives of the reactionary families of Meereen.

That is, the conservatives who want to drive Daenerys out of the Slaver's Bay.

Strangely enough, of the fifteen great lord families in Meereen, the strongest ones, Daznak and Kalar, are pro-dragon.

The seven neutral families, Glaza, Hazaka, Kantak, Naqian, Pal, Kurza, and Reznak, are also middle-class nobles.

On the contrary, of the six reactionary families, except for the Lorak and Marek families who ranked sixth and seventh, the remaining four families, Rehada, Urz, Yahzan, and Zak, directly took the bottom four places.

In the American TV series, it was these little great lords who joined together to fund the assassination activities of the Sons of the Harpy.

At the same time, it also caused Daenerys to be trapped in the Meereen Knot and wasted several years in the Slaver's Bay.

And now, thanks to Jack's help, the Sons of the Harpy they sponsored did not cause major unrest.

Even because of the reports from a group of untouchables, a large number of Sons of the Harpy were caught before they could take any action.

Locke Lorak sat in the main seat. Although he looked like a skinny old man, no one dared to look down on him.

Locke glanced at everyone with his narrow and sinister eyes, and then said in an unusually hoarse voice:

"The little bastard Jack Poseidon has already left Meereen. He is not cheating. What do you think?"

When they first heard the news of Jack's departure, they thought it was another conspiracy by Jack. It was not until now that they were sure that Jack had really left Meereen.

Lord Zakkwe suggested, "Now that he has left Meereen, perhaps we could try to increase our investment in the Sons of the Harpy."

But he was immediately opposed. "Even if the Sons of the Harpy increase their investment, it will not have any significant effect. Jack Poseidon left, but the joint household system did not leave."

Everyone was talking about it, but no one could convince anyone else. Only Locke Lorak looked coldly at the arguing people.

Then Locke looked to his right, at a young fat man who remained silent and smiled.

The current head of the Marrick family - Harding Marrick.

The strength of the Marek family is similar to that of the Lorac family, and old Marek and Locke are good friends, and the relationship between the two families was good at that time.

But since the death of old Marek and the rise of his eldest son Harding Marek, the relationship between the two families has become delicate.

Because Harding is different from his stupid father, this little fat boy is a pure smiling tiger, and even Locke can't guess what he is thinking.

This group of reactionaries was led by Locke. Locke patted the table lightly and everyone immediately quieted down.

"It's not a good idea for everyone to keep quarreling like this, Harding. What do you think?"

Harding glanced at Locke and said with a smile, "I have the least seniority, so naturally I respect you elders."

Harding sneered in his heart. Locke, the cunning old man, was actually staring at him.

Back then, Harding's father was deceived by Locke and became a fool, and the strength of the entire Marek family declined significantly.

He once tried to persuade his father, but his father firmly believed that Locke was his good brother and would not betray him.

It was not until his father suddenly passed away due to illness and he inherited the family business and became the great master of Marek that the family's strength gradually recovered.

As for his father's sudden death, Harding was 100% sure that it was his younger brother Hada who was responsible, but he had always pretended not to know.

Seeing that Harding was unwilling to say more, Locke stopped encouraging Harding to speak up and directly expressed his opinion.

Locke took out a letter and said, "This is a letter from Kraznys, the Great Sage Lord of Yunkai."

Upon hearing this, everyone picked up the letter and took turns reading it. After reading it, everyone showed uncontrollable excitement on their faces.

"Great, that's great. The coalition has decided to surround Slaver's Bay in December of this year. That will be the day when Daenerys dies!"

Originally, the anti-Dragon King coalition was planning to attack in September, but it took a lot of time for all forces to gather.

It is estimated that the Alliance will reach Slaver's Bay in December at the earliest.

Fortunately, there is no four seasons in the world of ice and fire, otherwise the slave owner would have wasted half a year.

Locke smiled sinisterly and said, "In December this year, the alliance army will be divided into two groups.

A Volantines navy of three hundred ships would blockade Meereen's maritime trade.

Kraznys of Yunkai will lead the army and mercenaries from the city-states of the Alliance to Meereen."

"We let the Sons of the Harpy show their weakness during the operation and then let them be captured. Then we kept our troops in place and let them think that they had destroyed the Sons of the Harpy.

At the same time, we secretly recruited a large number of Sons of the Harpy. When the allied forces surrounded Meereen, we attacked directly. With the cooperation from inside and outside, Daenerys would have absolutely no room to fight back. "

After hearing Locke's plan, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

This is a good plan. First, let the Mother of Dragons relax her vigilance, and then strike at the critical moment to catch her off guard.

Everyone admired Locke very much, but at the same time, they became more wary of Locke because he was so insidious.

Suddenly, Locke seemed to remember something.

"Hadin, I heard from the servants that you bought a lot of salt land under governance outside Meereen?"

Everyone looked at Harding, they all knew that the salt land was a project of Daenerys.

Wouldn't buying the salt land mean bowing to Daenerys?

Even the Marek family has already surrendered to Daenerys! ?

"Yes, it is said that the salt land has recovered to a certain extent after being irrigated by the canal. It is said that the first batch of salt land irrigated by river water has begun to grow crops."

Harding's expression remained unchanged and he admitted it openly.

At the same time, he was very surprised. How did Locke know that he had acquired a part of the salt land?

There is a traitor under my command!

Harding immediately thought of the biggest possibility, otherwise Locke would not have gotten the news less than a week after he bought it.

"Hadin, don't you know that the management of the salt land is a project that Daenerys Targaryen is working on? What's the difference between you doing this and joining Daenerys Targaryen?"

Locke's face was filled with grief, as if he had been greatly betrayed.

Harding smiled gently and said slowly,

"I just bought some land to plant olives. Once I buy the land, it's mine. I'm not planting it for Daenerys."

"If this is considered surrendering to Daenerys, then Locke, you know that the Big Wave Merchants and Jack Poseidon have a close relationship.

But you still want to join the various stores under the Giant Wave Chamber of Commerce. Are you also joining Jack Poseidon?"

Locke's face changed when he heard this. He originally wanted to find something for Hardin Marek to do, but he didn't expect that the other party actually knew that he wanted to join the Giant Wave Chamber of Commerce.
