Chapter two hundred and seventy six retreat
One night not long ago, a big event happened in the city of Pentos.
That is, some family members who were liquidated during the Bloody Night secretly returned to Pentos at some point. They hid in the dark, bribed some soldiers and hired many mercenaries.
When the war came, they tried to seize the city gate and let the Dothraki rush in, but in the end this rebellion was put out.
Viserys then became very angry and ordered Ramsay to investigate the matter.
And Ramsay has been busy with such things recently. After all, it is Ramsay's responsibility that these surviving members of the purged governor family can secretly enter Pentos City to cause trouble.
"Is it related to the Tattered Prince?"
Jon Clinton was very busy, writing and drawing on paper, and asked without raising his head.
Jon suspected that this matter had something to do with the Tattered Prince.
After all, these surviving members of the governor's family were able to sneak into Pandos without the eyes of the guards, which is enough to show that there is a big problem in the bureaucracy.
However, suspicion is just suspicion, and he can't provide any evidence.
After all, during the bloody night, the person who took up the butcher's knife and attacked the governor's family the most ruthlessly was the Tattered Prince.
Logically speaking, there is a blood feud between the two, and the Governor's family hates the Tattered Prince so much that it is impossible for them to cooperate, but
Jon always felt something was wrong, but couldn't say what.
"No."
However, Ramsay Snow heard Jon's question, shook his head slightly and said.
"This matter was not finally traced to Prince Tattered Clothes."
Ramsay pried open the mouths of those prisoners, and eventually traced many people along this line.
However, the forces behind the opponent were also very vigilant. After realizing Ramsay's pursuit, they decisively chose to cut off the tail to survive, and the entire clue was chopped cleanly.
The remaining people were killed before Ramsay could find them, so it was difficult for Ramsay to continue following this clue.
And the Tattered Prince behaved his duty during this period, and it was hard to see what was wrong with him.
"Is that so?"
Jon heard Ramsay's words, paused with the pen in his hand, thought for a moment and then sighed.
Then he asked again.
"Hmm...the princess from Dorne and a few sand snakes, have there been any changes recently?"
"No."
Ramsay also shook his head.
Princess Arianne and the Sand Snake sisters have not left the palace much recently. At most, they have climbed to the top of the city to look at the Dothraki who surrounded Pentos outside.
Not long ago, Viserys was preparing to leave Pentos on a dragon. Arianne wanted to ride on the dragon with him, but Balerion seemed to refuse.
Jon didn't know the specific details, but it was obvious that not everyone could ride on the dragon.
Arianne does not have the blood of the Dragon King, so naturally she cannot be recognized by the dragon. The dragon is very proud. Viserys's face alone is not enough, so he has to add money...
And Aegon
The pen tip in Jon's hand didn't stop, and the thoughts in his mind reached here unknowingly.
When Balerion was in Pentos, Jon also took the little boy to try to get to know this huge black dragon.
However, it is obvious that Aegon also cannot gain Balerion's recognition, but he does not have a bad attitude.
Jon had actually been mentally prepared before. Balerion already had a partner, Rhaegar's brother, now His Majesty the King.
And not every Targaryen can be recognized by the dragon.
However, although Jon was mentally prepared, he was still a little disappointed.
And this disappointment was even more obvious for little Aegon, as the dragon did not recognize him.
Jon looked away slightly.
"Lord Jon."
"Then I'll leave first."
The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who was sitting opposite him and wrapped in a black robe, stood up and nodded slightly.
"okay."
The man with gray-red hair also nodded.
Then Ramsay, wearing a black robe, turned and left Jon Connington's office.
Ever since Jon temporarily took over the military and political power of Pentos, Ramsay has been much busier than before, coming to Jon's office every day to hand over work.
In fact, it's not just Ramsay alone. In the palace and even the entire Pentos, there are government officials, generals in the army, ordinary soldiers, and merchants.
Everyone became busy without realizing it.
Jon Clinton gave full play to the meticulous characteristics of his character, and he must be serious about everything no matter how big or small it is.
Jon may be better at handling government affairs than Viserys, and he is also better than Lord Geoffrey, who is nominally the Prime Minister of the Queen, but in fact has almost given up his power due to his old age and the injuries sustained in the Battle of Dragonstone.
More professional.
Viserys gave the city to Jon when he left Pentos.
And now it seems that Jon is handling everything pretty well
Year 291 of Aegon's calendar.
June.
Time flies by.
The once-Gal Doho is now the Castle of Heroes, and the vicinity of the Three Forks River has almost become a nightmare for the Dothraki.
The Dothraki, who had been galloping on the continent of Essos for two consecutive wars, hit a wall here.
They even suffered a bloody blow, and a total of 20,000 to 30,000 Dothraki were killed in the two wars, truly becoming a mass grave for the Dothraki.
After winning the war, Viserys let the soldiers repair for a day.
The reward materials brought by Oberyn were distributed, and then the army marched towards Pentos.
Two giant dragons were flying in the sky, and on the ground was an endless Targaryen army.
They held high the flag of the three-headed fire dragon, wore black and red armor, and marched in neat steps.
The formation formed a long and winding snake, with cavalry on horseback cruising on both sides of the formation, shouting something loudly.
The slow and heavy baggage trains followed the middle and rear of the army and were protected in the center by the army.
ahead.
It's not far from Pentos.
The Dothraki had received news of the defeat on the other side a few days ago.
Immediately, Khal Mosso did not hesitate and led the remaining 50,000 Dothraki warriors to retreat towards Myr.
The other two, Khal Giacomo and Khal Pono, rarely had any objections.
Fifty thousand Dothraki faced 20,000 Targaryen regular troops and were still fighting in the wild. Logically speaking, there should be no need to retreat.
However, the Dothraki have a natural fear of dragons, and the presence of the dragon will make their war horses lie down in fear.
Therefore, the Dothraki felt that there was no possibility of winning this battle, so they ran very cleanly.
For the people in Pentos who had been besieged for a month and a half, they were all shocked when they saw the Dothraki outside the city beginning to dismantle their camps and prepare to retreat.
"Are the Dothraki trying to trick us?"
Jon Connington personally put on his armor and climbed to the top of the city to watch.
Chapter completed!
