Game of Thrones' opening sold the gods

Chapter 68 67. The Slave Bay

Tyrion put down Theon's decree, and he knew that the war was not far away.

At the same time, Tyrion also understood that the fuse of this war was himself. If Theon hadn't saved him, Cersei would never have launched a war against the riverlands.

But things have already happened, and it is useless to say more, and Tyrion feels that he has not disappointed Theon, at least the riverland is thriving under his governance.

At the same time, Tyrion began to prepare for this year's conscription plan, and mobilized [-] elite soldiers to the southern part of the riverland to prevent Cersei from going to war without declaring it.

Thinking of this, Tyrion wrote to Theon again, hoping that Theon could mobilize a batch of cement to strengthen the castle in the south of the riverland.

At the same time, Cersei was not idle, trying her best to stabilize the situation in King's Landing, while competing with Little Rose for Tommen.

Now that James has inherited the title of Duke of Casterly Rock, for Cersei, she thinks that the West has firmly stood behind her.

At present, there are not many soldiers that Cersei can mobilize. If you think about it carefully, it seems that only the army of the king's land and the stormland Cersei can be mobilized directly.

However, the military strength of these two places has plummeted.

There is no good excuse to rely on the armies of the West and the Reach to attack the Riverlands. After all, Theon has indeed won the trial by combat. According to the regulations, Tyrion is innocent.

But making excuses without excuses is what Cersei does best.

Then Cersei got a pen and paper and began to write a letter.

Essos, Slaver's Bay.

The Slave Bay of Essos is the center of the world's slave trade, where there are bed slaves, technical slaves, and the world-famous Unsullied!
Theon bought a lot of technical slaves here, but since a certain woman came to Slaver's Bay, things went wrong.

The dragon queen first broke the rules of the slave bay for hundreds of years, and the white wolf won the [-] invincible army with empty gloves, and then took down the entire slave bay in the name of liberating the slaves.

But it's a pity that the queen doesn't know much about politics, and there are no internal affairs talents around her, which leads to abnormal chaos in the three cities of Slave Bay.

Meereen, where Daenerys is, is often troubled by the son of the Harpy, and when Daenerys is in Meereen, Yunkai re-announces the restoration of slavery.

And Astapor, the slave who was handpicked by Daenerys, became the new slave owner himself.

Daenerys was also suffering from the chaos in Meereen, and was unable to take care of the other two cities for a while.

At the same time, Daenerys freed hundreds of thousands of slaves, but did not provide hundreds of thousands of jobs.

When most of the slaves recovered from the excitement of being liberated, they found themselves with nothing to do and no idea how to live.

This is also the reason why Daenerys's slave liberation movement was unsuccessful. Even in the later period, many slaves began to rebel against Daenerys, hoping to return to slavery.

And in Astapor, where the situation is the most chaotic, a wave of uninvited guests has arrived in the city.

"Damn it, I ended up in Essos!"

Bronn was indignant, while Varys looked very calm, "What are you dissatisfied with? Gold, women, rights, what has His Majesty not given you?"

"I'm just complaining, why are you talking so much?" Bronn said indifferently.

"Your Majesty gave you [-] elites to gain a foothold in Essos, not to complain!" Varys reminded.

Now Varys' identification with Theon has reached its peak, as Varys said, he wants to assist a virtuous king, no matter whose blood the virtuous king is.

And the river land under Theon's governance made Varys seem to see the Utopia in his heart, which made him forget when he cursed Theon to die suddenly last time.

On Illyrio's side, Varys also expressed his position, and finally broke up with Illyrio.

In fact, Varys originally planned to get a sum of money from Illyrio, but Varys couldn't provide a lot of information that Illyrio wanted, so he had to show his cards in the end.

It's a pity that there was no final extortion, but it doesn't matter, Hejian Land is not short of money now.

The annual profit of all commodities in the Hejian land is at least 600 million gold dragons, and the huge debt owed by the Iron Throne can be repaid in one year.

Speaking of which, the current life of the Iron Throne is also very sad. Every year, it needs to repay the loan to the Iron Treasury. This is not counting the Golden Dragon owed to the Lannister family and other nobles.

Bronn embraced a female Kun, "Don't worry, according to what His Majesty said, there are currently three factions fighting against each other in Astapor, and the butcher Kleon has basically eliminated the other two."

"That's right, what we need to do now is to destroy Cleon, and then quickly stabilize Astapor according to His Majesty's method, and then plot the Raza Plain."

Bronn pinched the white rabbit and said, "The army will definitely not be able to enter the city. Maybe we can let some of them sneak into Astapor first, and then open the city gate in the dark."

Bronn's idea is very simple, first find out the pyramid where Cleon lives, then take advantage of the night to snatch the city gate, and then directly encircle the pyramid where Cleon is.

Varys is also in favor of this plan, since Astapor's defense is really lax and the odds of success are high.

After discussing the plan, Bronn looked at the frightened girl J, "Can you understand us?"

After finishing speaking, girl j trembled even more.

Bronn turned to look at Varys, and Varys tilted his head: "Why, you still want to kill her? We are a regular army, we don't kill people randomly, just buy her and take her away."

Finally, Bronn bought the prostitute for one silver coin.

"It's really cheap, only one silver coin."

"Otherwise? The least valuable thing in Slave Bay is the slave, and the most valuable thing is the slave." Varys said.

In the next three days, Bronn quickly locked the pyramid where Cleon lived, the largest one, obviously.

That night, Bronn led an elite team of 30 people and quickly took down the city gate of Astapor with the repeated hand crossbow invented by tools.

Then the four thousand elite quickly rushed to Cleon's residence.

Cleon's reaction was quick, which was beyond Bronn's expectations, but it didn't have a big impact on the result.

The [-] elite soldiers under Bronn were all wearing armor and equipped with a large number of continuous crossbows and fine steel weapons. Facing Cleon's miscellaneous soldiers with all kinds of weapons was a complete massacre.

Soon Cleon's army was routed, and Cleon himself was brought before Bronn.

Looking at Cleon who was trembling with fear, Bronn couldn't help but said to Varys: "This guy doesn't look like a butcher, he looks like a fat mouse."

"My lord, you."

Before Cleon finished speaking, Bronn swung his sword and chopped off Cleon's head.

"Hang his head on the slave square, and drive everyone to the slave square tomorrow."

Bronn then went to see Schiller and told him that Astapor had been taken and was going to take over Astapor.

Schiller followed Bronn to Essos and was the leader appointed by Theon himself.

Bronn was in charge of military affairs, Schiller was in charge of politics, and Varys was in charge of delivering intelligence.
