In fact, the governors of Pentos were already on guard long after the Dothraki people's anomalies were discovered.They lined the city walls with crossbowmen, catapults, and crossbows, and soldiers in armour lined up at the city gates.

However, the governors were completely panicked when they found the dragon appearing in the distance.

They didn't expect that before they could withstand the Dothraki attack, they had to face the dragon's minions and flames - they never thought that Khal Drogo was dead, and the dragon subdued the Dothraki people , they are a group.

These mortals who grew up listening to the legend of the giant dragon but never saw the giant dragon tremblingly pointed all the long-range weapons they could find in the direction of the giant dragon, hoping to prevent this legendary disaster.

But soon, they discovered that they completely underestimated the power and wisdom of the dragon.

This huge beast made an elegant and flexible flight in the air, causing most of the slings and giant crossbows to fall into the air. Occasionally, some arrows and stones fell on the dragon, which can only be regarded as a sturdy dragon scale. Tickle on.

After a short period of time, the giant dragon flew over the city wall, and a huge black shadow passed over the soldiers' heads. The sound of wings flapping and the wind pressure caused them to flee in terror. There are not many people left.

However, the giant dragon did not attack the fleeing soldiers. He opened the dragon's mouth and sprayed the scorching and powerful dragon's breath at the solid city gate.

The scorching heat and impact of the flames caused cracks in the city gate immediately.

The next moment, the dragon actually gave up its air superiority, swooped down, and crashed into the city gate.

Hearing a loud bang, the city gate opened in response, and fragments scattered all over the floor.

The giant dragon was just a little dizzy, he shook his head, then flapped his wings and flew again.

Really scary dragon.

In the next period of time, the governors found that the dragon did not want to do anything to the city. He neither set fire to the city nor fed on people.He just kept circling around the city gate, and then spewed fiery dragon breath at any soldier who dared to approach the city gate.

Soon, several charred corpses appeared at the wide-open city gate, and no soldier dared to approach here.

At first, the governors felt a little inexplicable. They didn't know what the purpose of the dragon was, but it didn't take long for the governors to finally understand as the familiar sound of horse hooves sounded outside the city gate.

The dragons and the Dothraki are a group.

The fall of Pantos was already doomed.

Chapter 0166 The New Ruler of Pentos

The process of occupying Pantos was exceptionally smooth.

In fact, this is also an inevitable thing. The existence of the dragon alone frightens everyone, and the Dothraki people are the most powerful light cavalry. Without the protection of the city wall, there are hardly many troops. On land would be their opponents.

According to the nature of the Dothraki, after the victory of the war, they designated to burn, kill and loot in the city, but Ye Ting attacked Pantos not for killing and wealth, but for occupation and the people, So before entering the city, Daenerys issued a strict order forbidding the Dothraki to kill, kidnap women and loot in the city.

Because it is a newly conquered army, the Dothraki people can't wait to show their loyalty to Dany and show their faith in the Dragon God, so most of them executed the order perfectly - some disobedients were torn apart by the giant dragon patrolling in the sky on the spot. shards.

The citizens did not suffer much damage because of their entry into the city. Instead, many soldiers and gangsters took advantage of the chaos to rape and loot. This time, it was the Dothraki people who maintained order. This made the citizens of Pantos. We have some good feelings for this strange army.

When Pentos was completely occupied, Daenerys gave her first order as the new owner of the city - to gather all the citizens to the square in the city.

Such gatherings could easily be misinterpreted as the Dothraki wanting to hit them up, enslaved or slaughtered, but under the threat of guns and knives, the Pentos pushed and shoved by chance. The square in the city awaits the arrival of the conquerors.

In the square where the citizens gathered.As usual, Ye Ting transformed into an adult from the image of a dragon, and then showed his miracles to the citizens.

In Pentos, beliefs are free and chaotic, from the seven gods of Westeros to the most widely believed R'hllor, to the old woman's favorite weeping woman, the merchant's favored night lion, and the poor worshipped Hooded Walker and horse god worshipped by the Dothraki.However, the churches of these gods have not performed miracles for a long time, and they can continue to maintain their beliefs by pretending to be ghosts. However, under the threat of real miracles and giant dragons and swords, most of the citizens immediately expressed their disapproval. their new spiritual beliefs.

Indeed, in this foolish medieval world.What could be more moving than a real miracle?

Now that the Dragon God is recognized, everything is easy to say. Daenerys was then confirmed as the ruler. She issued a series of new measures and laws in front of the citizens, and reduced some taxes.This was immediately welcomed by most citizens.

Subsequently, Daenerys announced the disposal of the soldiers defending the city and the original rulers, the governors.Most soldiers and governors were pardoned.Only the leading ones were sentenced to death for rebelling against the Dragon God's army.The rest of the governors were fined.

This is all joy.Citizens were not brutalized and their lives could go on, maybe for the better.The governors mostly saved their lives in the face of the brutal Dothraki.What's the point of losing some gold?That's what they used to do - no, in the past, the Dothraki didn't even have to enter the city, and the governors naturally offered gold and all kinds of wealth.

It is a pity that in the subsequent banquet to receive the new city lord and the gods, these governors discovered that this strange group of Dothraki and their leaders really wanted to rule the city for a long time.Instead of withdrawing as soon as the Dothraki have gained enough benefits, like the previous Dothraki.

In fact, it started with the first order Daenerys gave after entering the city.She has been doing her best to maintain the peace and stability of the city.Whether it is to give up killing and arson, to maintain order; or to reduce or exempt taxes instead of extortionate.This is easy to see from these commands.

Of course, it doesn't really reduce taxes.He just lowered the tax rate for ordinary citizens and artisans.but raised taxes on all merchants.And they are required to pay their taxes only in gold and silver.

Such an order is indeed a precedent for a free trade city-state.

In the trade cities, most of the lucrative businesses are in the hands of the governors.These governors were themselves great merchants, who gained power through their wealth and maintained their wealth through their power.Now, the arrival of Daenerys.Made them lose most of their rights, and now, she's going to work on their wealth.

But it was a good thing to do, because after all, the merchants in the city were only a few, but they held the majority of the wealth.Through such a measure, the tax that Daenerys can receive will only increase compared to the previous tax revenue of the trading city-state.But she only offended a very small number of people, and most of the civilians would cheer for her...

But will Daenerys, who has mastered the army, be afraid of these very few merchants?

Originally, these governors and big businessmen expected Daenerys to compromise with them, because they were the local snakes in this city.They felt that Daenerys' rule needed them, because her subordinates were a group of reckless men who could only fight and kill, and Daenerys herself was just a thirteen-year-old girl who knew nothing about economics and politics. Without them, Daenerys might not even be able to collect even a single gold coin in taxes.

However, they found out after a few days that they were wrong.

On the one hand, Daenerys reused and supported some of their smaller, lower-ranking merchants.When these businessmen found it profitable, they immediately abandoned their original allies and took refuge with the new masters, which enabled Daenerys' rule to find an entry point and could fully understand the situation of Pantos.

On the other hand, Daenerys began to select people who can write, calculate, and have certain ideas and prestige among citizens, craftsmen and free people as candidates for grass-roots officials.Although these people are not wealthy, and their selfishness will not be small after becoming officials, they have well checked and balanced the power of businessmen.

In addition, Daenerys herself has an inherently great leadership.She has never forgotten her tragic childhood, which makes her more sympathetic than other rulers. She has carried the ruling policy of "justice" and "fairness" that she thinks throughout, and has personally walked into the people more than once. Narrate to civilians and ordinary warriors, explain their policy, and prevent some injustice from happening.

Although she lacks governance experience, it is clear that Daenerys has learned enough governance methods from Ye Ting - the 5000-year history of the earth is his treasure trove.

In the past few days, she spent every night with Ye Ting, frantically learning all kinds of knowledge about business, agriculture, economy, politics, religion, etc. from him, and after finishing her studies, she solved the night's problems for him. lonely.

Although today's Daenerys still has some naive and immature shortcomings in politics, it can be said that she is very skillful.But she is not worried about her lack of experience, because Ye Ting is still standing behind her. Even if she makes any mistakes, Ye Ting can make up for it with absolute strength.
