Chapter 371
Suddenly a guard jumped from the parapet and rushed into the crowd surrounding the castle.
From the gate of the castle, he swaggered out of The Seven's bishop Peter in Red Keep. It was not clear what happened to the parapet, but his behavior attracted his attention. Came back to his senses in doubt, but the believers standing in front of the Red Keep gate showed horrified expressions.
The Seven general bishop is puzzled by the expressions of believers.
Behind him, the guard who sent him out of the dungeon suddenly drew his sword, and then fiercely pierced his heart!
"For the Queen!"
The soldier who killed Pete shouted loudly.
Looking at the Bishop Peter of The Seven who fell in a pool of blood, watching the killing soldiers, the believers became silent, and after a few breaths, everyone broke into a roar.
"Let us avenge the general bishop!"
"Rush into the Red Keep and kill all of them!"
Those who haven't been in a coma with the poison The queen left the retaining wall, and the fanatical The Seven disciples outside suddenly rushed into the gate, and all the guards who were supposed to guard the gate actually joined it!
"We have to do it."
Looking at the mob trying to rush up the retaining wall, Melisandre spoke in a deep voice, and the flames were born out of thin air.
At this juncture, Tyrion and Malvin were not pedantic, and they nodded in agreement.
Qiao La immediately swung his sword to meet the mob and opened the way, magic and divine technique bloomed, leading to a series of screams and wailing.
Hound and Bailey are in the Red Keep.
The mob rushed into the castle and found the queen, red robe girl, Tyrion, Marvin and the others surrounded. They immediately drew their swords and rushed to the crowd to try to support.
Bolong finds Imp in embarrassment: "All directions are the followers of The Seven. Even if the guards don’t resist, even join them. We are already in a siege!"
" Isn’t there any secret way to leave Red Keep?"
"Tell me if you have it!"
The nervous Tyrion gave him a speechless look: "Who would fix the secret way? This side of the retaining wall?"
Bolong: "Then how do we leave?"
"We will not leave!" Tyrion saw the red god priests wearing red robe, already Create a raging flame to attack the mob.
Bolong: "I know the transcender is leaving, but King's Landing has hundreds of thousands of The Seven believers. It’s too dangerous to stay here!"
"If you don’t leave , I won’t..."
"Bologne Captain, you will stay to protect the queen!"
Melisandra reveals a striking killing intent , The slick mercenary coldly said.
The cold sweat of Bolong who was hearing this came out, and he barely pulled the corner of his mouth, and obediently went to Jora to block the mob.
Varys: "Tyrion, we really need to consider leaving King's Landing."
"My little birds only found The Seven Church was behind the scenes, and no hidden assassin was found. No other forces were found."
"King's Landing is really unsafe here."
"But where else can we go?" Tyrion's expression sank.
Varys: "Go to Mill!"
"Master of Whisperers means to find Your Highness Arthur?" Melisandre, who was hearing this, asked distractedly.
Tyrion smiled bitterly: "Let the queen give up the iron throne?"
"Otherwise?" Varys said solemnly: "It is no good for us to stay here. Don't forget that we are in a state of war. Robert will not let go of such a good opportunity."
"Do you want to die in King's Landing?"
"Robert will let Your Majesty go because of His Highness Arthur, but we But it’s hard to guarantee that you’re still the Lannister he hates!"
"Moreover, your big brother Jaime is still locked in the dungeon. If he leaves King's Landing, he might still survive. Hearing the words of the Octopus Spider, countless thoughts flashed in Tyrion's mind. Considering the current situation of King's Landing, he soon had an idea.
The mob is just an ordinary person.
The guard who believes in The Seven is not a transcender opponent.
Hound and Bailey rushed in with their swords, and the Red God priests used spells to cooperate. They soon joined Chora, Bolong, Malwin and Melisandre, as well as the comatose Dragon Queen and Tyrion.
Sufficient mana, Malwyn ruthless, kill all mobs with bad intentions.
With the cooperation of blade light and sword shadows, the radiance of magic flickered, the flames burned, and soon returned to Meige Tower.
Block the gates and passages.
Grand Maester, who has studied medicine, immediately started treatment on the queen.
However.
The poison of Qingyou on the dagger is not ordinary poison!
There is a curse in it!
Malwin and Melisandre work together to eliminate toxins and save the queen's life, but they are helpless against the curse.
Looking at Daenerys with weak breathing, Tyrion groaned and broke the silence: "Your Majesty is unconscious, Grand Maester, I think we need to give up King's Landing."
"Do you have any thoughts?"
Hearing what Imp said, Malwyn, as the Grand Maester, turned his head and looked out the window, entered the Red Keep, surrounded the Mei Ge Building, was cursing loudly and throwing stones Mob.
Think silently for a moment.
Magician is still helpless to the current situation, and can only sigh: "No"
Varys said: "Then we go to Mill?"
"Arthur Your Royal Highness has already controlled Mill."
Mei Li Shanzhu heard this frowning: "The Queen Your Majesty is in a coma. We can't order the giant dragon."
Some Tyrion Speechless: "You can't ride a dragon and just take a boat."
The activity of Lahlo Church in Westeros is to spread the greatness of Lord of Light, and Melisandre is really unwilling to leave like this.
Can face hundreds of thousands of mobs who believe in The Seven.
Even if the priests master the powerful divine technique and can summon True God, it is difficult to force others to change their beliefs.
As the Queen's Grand Maester, Malwin doesn't care what the red robe woman thinks.
The Queen’s Hand and Master of Whisperers made suggestions, and Queen Iron Guard Chora agreed to leave. He immediately asked Missandei to carry Daenerys on his back and left the Red Keep from the secret path.
......
Across from Narrow Sea.
Mil.
With the help of the Maester team, Arthur is still busy at work.
Comprehensive development is not just a few words, even if he only focuses on the general direction, he still has a lot of problems to deal with as a whole.
He also barely trained a group of talents at Taloxi’s school.
Lack of experience and vision, they can't do any important major event temporarily, but it is not a problem to be responsible for paperwork, recording, and other tasks.
With the cooperation of grassroots clerks, Mill's development work has been much easier.
Moreover.
Because the child who was liberated from the slave became a grass-roots clerk, it gave hope to all the new free citizens in Mill, and made them more dedicated to the prince to set up a school, eager to get a decent job after learning!
In addition to the grassroots clerks needed by the Governor's Mansion.
Students majoring in craftsmanship, architecture, accounting, and law at Taloxi School also get jobs in Mill.
Everything is in order.
It’s just that Mill’s original free people are very uncomfortable with the slave’s child becoming a grassroots clerk, architect, designer, accountant, lawyer and the others.
Fortunately, Arthur locked up all the nobles and wealthy merchants in Mill, otherwise they would definitely initiate more rebellions and riots.
Liberate slave.
Nobles and wealthy merchants just lose a little wealth.
Teach slaves knowledge and let them become high-end talents such as lawyers, accountants, architects, government clerks, etc., immediately leading to the loss of aloof and remote dominance of aristocrats and wealthy businessmen!
Nine Free Cities, the upper class in all cities are nobles and wealthy merchants.
Arthur tried and killed slave masters and slave merchants, and the loss of their profits was barely serious, but the practice of imprisoning nobles and wealthy merchants for no reason, as well as supporting slaves to teach knowledge, has shaken all freedom Free Cities A ruling authority for thousands of years!
The remaining seven Free Cities.
Pentos, Braavos, Rees, Kohor, Novos, Valantis, Rollas, all nobles, wealthy merchants, and free people have begun to hate Arthur!
I even want to chopped him up ten-thousand times by a thousand blades!
Iron Bank, which has obtained huge profits even in sea trade transactions with Mill and Tylosi.
I don’t want the prince to continue to live and liberate the slave!
But they can maintain the system with their interests.
Although the economic strength is strong, the military strength cannot pose any threat to Arthur...
Under Arthur's governance, Mill gained full Development.
Not counting the Iron Islands and Dorne allies.
In the military, six new Level 3 sailing battleships have been launched into the army. Lancelot has trained five hundred heavy cavalry, and Tristan has trained three thousand archers who specialize in defending the city. , The artillery regiment with two hundred iron artillery pieces has been formed, and the force of the gun regiment has been expanded to 2,300 men!
Engineers, orders and mercenaries add up to more than six thousand!
The remaining seven Free Cities are all over, and Arthur is confident to defeat them all!
Of course, with the current military forces, it is no problem for them to hold Mill, but it is not enough to send troops to attack others.
If Arthur doesn't want the learned Musketeer.
Logistics ammunition can keep up, and all soldiers are trained to use muskets, and there is no difficulty in pushing Essos horizontally!
The sacred Lorraine Third Prince, Iron Bank, and the Seven Free Cities who occupy Mill cannot be defeated head-on. They decisively choose crafty plots and machinations and ghost tricks.
But...
Arthur has great power.
All around are transcenders, powerful sorcerers who master magic, and priests and priests who master the divine technique.
And a new Vanessa who was once the faceless is added!
Assassination?
The assassination of the Faceless and Regret was simply a gift to Arthur!
Courting death against Knight and Sorcerer!
As for poisoning with food?
There is Vanessa who has received the Faceless Man training, and the Academician, Maester, Mage and Female Sand Snake who are familiar with all the poisons and poisons known, Arthur has also developed healing techniques!
Poisoning can also be solved!
Send a spy to Mill to make trouble?
In terms of intelligence, it is indeed Arthur and the others who are weak, but Vanessa is extraordinary, and it takes a while to distinguish them one after another!
Mill, has been managed as an iron bucket!
"His Royal Highness, the remnant forces of Taloxi and Mill in the Land of Strife, they turned to Rees a month ago, and also asked Reis to send troops to the Land of Strife."
Chaoyang After rising, Arthur started a new day of work in the Conference Hall of the Governor's Mansion.
Listening to the news reported by Selena, Arthur brows tightly knit: "Is this news a month ago?"
The mercenary who took over as the sheriff nodded: "Yes , Reese’s army may have entered a disputed place now."
Lack of intelligence agencies, let alone trusted intelligence agents and spies, Mill cannot obtain the most important first-hand information.
To get news, you can only ask merchants and mercenaries in taverns, brothel, or somewhere.
"Academicians, Maesters, do you have any comments?"
Turning his head, Arthur looked at Lean Academician and the others.
Knowing how powerful our military is, Lean Academician said indifferently: "His Royal Highness, we only need to strengthen the city defense as usual."
"Compared to war, the development of Mill is more important. "
Actually, every day is busy, and there is not much time to rest, and there is no time to study magic and holy light. Arthur is a little tired of dealing with government affairs now.
"What if I want to take the initiative?"
Lean Academician frowned: "Then we must leave more than half of our troops in Mill."
"And your Highness can't leave."
"..."
Arthur thought for a while and said, "I think Mill's development is on the right track. , You can expand to the disputed land."
"I agree with your highness." Ryan Academician nodded, "but...after the disputed land, who will give it to you? Governance?"
Get a basic level clerk, but there is no middle-level manager. The high-level officials are only Arthur’s team and Academicians and Maesters. They are really unable to attend to other things. , Has repeatedly proposed that the prince divide the nobility to perfect the rule.
Hearing this, Arthur immediately browses tightly knit.
Because he is unwilling to divide the nobility, and does not want to give the power of ruling the people to nobility!
I hope to change the feudal system of this world!
Kevin, Lancelot, Lanmarok and the others are loyal to themselves, and cannot say that they will no longer entrust nobles, which chills their hearts...
Establish an examination system.
Let the new liberal students pass the assessment with excellent grades and become a grassroots clerk that Mill lacks.
Although the knight and Maester who are loyal to him do not have any opinions or dissatisfaction, the Iron Islands nobles and Dorne nobles, because Arthur refused them to bring talents who are loyal to him, they have no surprises. dissatisfied.
And the nobles are not stupid, they are literate.
It is very clear that the emergence of the examination system will shake the rule of nobility!
Even the positions of middle-level officials in Mill are vacant.
Arthur also didn't talk about promoting grassroots clerks.
His behavior still arouses the disgust of the nobility of the whole world!
There was a long silence.
Arthur, who had considered carefully, didn't want to be an enemy of all the nobles, and sighed helplessly in his heart, so he chose to compromise and said, "Let those who stay in Mill come to the Governor's Mansion the day after tomorrow to participate in the official selection assessment."
"Selecting middle-level officials for evaluation?"
The prince finally accepted the noble children of Iron Islands and Dorne, and Lean Academician, who felt dissatisfied with the nobility, immediately relaxed.
But in his heart, he vaguely felt that the prince’s official assessment by the prince seemed to have a different meaning!
Arthur: "Yes, select officials for the assessment, Selena, you will immediately lead someone to set up the examination room, Lean Academician, we will strive to produce good examination questions tonight and tomorrow."
Lean Academician pondered for a moment and asked: "What if they fail the assessment?"
"Fail the assessment?"
This question made Arthur difficult again. .
Take down the unqualified. As aristocrats who have been educated since childhood, failing to pass the assessment will definitely make those aristocrats feel ashamed.
I am the prince, and the academician and Maester are the ones who set the test. They dare not have any dissatisfaction.
But it is possible to spread anger on the grass-roots clerks, and even blame the untouchables from slave origin for taking their positions!
"Then let them go to the army!"
...to be continued...
