Game of Thrones: Summoning the Fourth Calamity

"For a port city, a decrease in trade volume is undoubtedly a huge blow."

"We've driven these merchants away, and caravans from other city-states have stopped coming. We'll collapse on our own without anyone else even having to fight us," Viserys said calmly.

Heaven have mercy, he's a rich kid in real life, but while he's good at spending money, he's completely clueless about these things.

After Viserys' explanation, the mistake of calling a mouse a duck gradually became clear.

If Viserys falls from power, aside from whether it will stop him from playing games, who would want to hire him as an intelligence assistant?

Having just been the head of the secret service for a day, he was already addicted to the thrill of arbitrarily arresting people.

The feeling that power brought him was incomparable to that of the so-called rich second generation in reality.

Besides, since the secret police had already intercepted 300,000 gold coins, and it wasn't like they were returning his money, they didn't feel any resistance to calling a mouse a duck.

They immediately took their men and roughly seven or eight hundred thousand gold dragons back to find those merchants.

"Sigh!" Viserys shook his head as he watched the other person's retreating figure.

"Your Majesty, these..." Ser Jorah looked at the remaining golden dragons and asked the king what to do with them.

"The rest is sealed in the treasury," Viserys said, having no qualms about taking the governors' money. "However, it's time to find a treasurer."

Viserys was speaking the second half of the sentence to himself.

The remaining gold dragons are worth nearly a million, which is a considerable sum. It is indeed necessary to have someone skilled in financial management to help manage these gold dragons.

I vaguely remember that in the original story, a knight bought a good horse and a suit of armor, and all that was paid for was a few gold dragons.

This is sufficient proof of Jinlong's strong purchasing power.

These million golden dragons are enough for him to hire tens of thousands of mercenaries and a huge fleet.

Viserys' first thought was Littlefinger; that guy was indeed a talent, but unfortunately, he was determined not to side with him now.

Are there any players with this talent?

The four hundred newly registered beta testers logged in chattering away the next day.

Still the same three consecutive "Holy crap, awesome, truly awesome".

However, unlike before, there were many more OMGs in the crowd.

Viserys roughly counted, and there were about thirty or forty foreigners.

No, that's not quite right. To him right now, all these people in front of him are foreigners.

They are all newcomers.

Viserys used the same old tricks when facing new players.

The new players were quite receptive, standing still and listening with one ear and the other.

There's always something fishy about these new players being able to register. Viserys secretly lowers the success rate of those who excitedly rush into the game to wreak havoc, for example, by making the website lag when they register.

For those who discussed the plot or showed relative control, Viserys secretly increased his success rate.

Therefore, these four hundred players in front of them, even if Viserys tells them to go east, they will never go west. But at least Viserys issues a task and uses the reward to entice them, so most of these people will be willing to work.

Viserys also had ways to deal with the few troublemakers mixed in there.

For example, when new players choose to join a guild.

Just as the Brotherhood Without Banners and the Grenadiers were preparing to recruit, Viserys stepped forward to announce the formation of the Royal Guard, with player Roland as its leader.

A royal court enforcement team was established, with the player who "jumped off the train" halfway through the game serving as its captain.

The Royal Guard's duties were essentially those of the emperor's personal guard.

The duties of the royal family's law enforcement team conflicted to some extent with those of the secret police.

For example, law enforcement teams also have the right to investigate nobles and high-ranking officials, and they also have the responsibility of counter-espionage and counter-investigation.

This was Viserys's intention; the player had to always be a unit, so how could he, as the number one NPC with only one life, feel at ease?

In addition, the most important duty of the enforcement team is to have the authority to arrest players who violate military discipline.

"Those who commit indiscriminate killing and destruction without orders, and those who commit indiscriminate arson after occupying enemy cities, are all among them."

Viserys then granted the enforcement team the authority that shocked all the players present.

The enforcement team leader jumped off the train halfway through the journey and has the authority to cool down players who are deemed to have violated military discipline!

Anyone found to have violated military discipline has the right to impose a cooling-off period of up to three months of game time or at least twenty-four hours of real-world time on the person who jumped ship midway through the game.

After Viserys finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving a group of players to discuss among themselves.

Of course, Viserys still deliberately grants the secret police immunity from the law, and casual players are not included either, because if they break the law, the law enforcement team will directly announce the confiscation of their property and funds.

That's right, the enforcement team announced. How could Viserys announce a player's punishment in public? That would only make the player hate him. What if one day a player felt unbalanced and started playing dirty tricks on him?

If players want to hold a grudge, they should hold a grudge against the enforcement team!

As the saying goes: Let heroes fight heroes, let good men fight good men!

Of the four hundred new players, aside from some who were determined to play solo and those who had formed small guilds offline in advance, most were divided up among the four teams present.

The Royal Guard and the Royal Enforcement Team are now officially "open for business".

New players tend to behave themselves; that's how people are. Once they've set an estimate for you from the start, they usually won't offend you.

As for the veteran players, the secret police are still as rampant as the street-cleaning tigers, and they almost love this feeling.

Before they've had their fun, the citizens of Pentos are likely to suffer.

The newly appointed law enforcement officers watched them run amok from a short distance away.

Several secret police officers, under the chief's covert instructions, went forward to provoke them, but the law enforcement officers remained unmoved.

But when other players follow suit, these people will swarm in.

That same day, they caught three unlucky guys who wanted to break the law.

Viserys watched the players' every move in the city through the system panel.

If you want players to obey, the first step is to give them something to do, and the second step is naturally to prevent them from uniting together.

You all seem so friendly, it's really hard for me, the king, to be in charge!

As for the innocent citizens of Pentos, His Majesty can only say, "You'll have to suffer a little longer."

Days passed by like this.

On the first day, the enforcement team deterred most players by making an example of them. A small number of those with rebellious tendencies secretly carried out their schemes. Thanks to the small number of enforcement team members and their multiple roles, most of them successfully committed their crimes.

The secret police continued to act as vigilantes, keeping all the wealthy merchants in the city indoors and out of their homes for days on end, fearing that they would be caught by these guys and tortured in the West Ice Warehouse.

Ordinary citizens were equally silent, so much so that when Viserys took Daenerys out one day, the entire street was filled with citizens "lining the streets to welcome them".

Viserys had a dark expression on his face after the scene of him jumping up and down with his hands raised and shouting "Long live the Emperor!"
