The leader, a Targaryen general, was riding on horseback, holding the reins with one hand, his dark hair fluttering in the wind.
Mir watched helplessly as the city gate of Pentos, which had been closed for a month and a half, finally opened with a rumble.
"Enter the city!"
Then he gave the order and immediately urged his horse to take the lead into the city.
Hua Hua Hua——
The friction of armor made a sound, and the sound of neat footsteps sounded.
The Targaryen army officially entered the city of Pentos, and Jon Clinton and the Tattered Prince personally came to the city gate to greet them.
The first to enter the city were a group of knights wearing plate armor, and their horses were also covered in full-body chain armor.
The sound of horse hooves sounded heavily on the bluestone road in the city. The temperature in Pantos was not high in winter, and white mist spewed out from the thick nostrils of the war horses.
The knights on horseback are wearing bright armor, holding spears and shields, wearing long swords at their waists, and are armed to the teeth. There is a conspicuous three-headed fire dragon emblem on the chest of the armor.
"He is really a good soldier and a strong general."
Jon Connington looked at the Targaryen army entering the city with an envious expression in his eyes.
This army is even more elite than the royal army he led to resist the usurpers when he was the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms.
At that time, the Targaryen dynasty was on the verge of collapse, the nobles were disloyal and could not be relied on, and the army of the Reach was also extremely weak.
The Tattered Prince who followed Jon looked at the Targaryen army entering the city, and the expression on his face became even more ugly.
He had an agreement with Viserys that once the plan was successful, Pentos would belong to him, and Pentos would surrender to Targaryen and become part of the kingdom.
However, just over half a year has passed, and the city has gradually escaped his control.
There is no way.
The Tattered Prince was not as tough as Viserys, so he was forced to swallow his anger.
After all, whoever has soldiers and generals has more say, and Viserys not only has these, he even has dragons.
In fact, the idea of the Tattered Prince was unrealistic and even too idealistic from the beginning.
How could he compete with Viserys, who had more than 30,000 troops at that time, relying only on a wind-blown regiment of more than 2,000 people?
This has nothing to do with the level of means, it is simply a difference in strength.
The Tattered Prince still wanted to compete with the opponent, but the opponent was able to break his wrist in one move.
It would be better if the Tattered Prince was given some time to develop.
After all, the city of Pentos has a large population and great potential for development. With a large amount of wealth in hand, the Tattered Prince can easily expand his army.
But it is a pity that after taking this city, Viserys never left Pentos.
Viserys sat in Pentos for a day, and the Tattered Prince could only look up to him and be submissive.
As a result, we missed the best and only opportunity for development, and ended up in the current situation.
There is also reluctance and anger in my heart.
However, facing these arrogant generals whose faces were full of murderous intent and arrogance, the Tattered Prince restrained all his temper.
He has led armies for half his life, so he can naturally see that these soldiers are victorious.
Not only do they have bright armor and sophisticated weapons, but these soldiers carry a victorious aura with them. Everyone's face is full of confidence. It is difficult for a victorious army to have such an aura.
Viserys has such an army, it is indeed not something he can compete with.
Facing such an army, his Fengchui Regiment could almost be said to be shattered at a touch.
What's more, now that Feng Chui Tuan is out of his control, even his right-hand men, Denzo Dehan and Kago, are gradually disobeying his orders.
The Tattered Prince looked at the groups of elite divisions passing in front of him, and then sighed dejectedly.
And not just Jon and the Tattered Prince.
The Pentos defenders at the top of the city and the civilians in Pentos City were also on both sides of the road watching the Targaryen troops entering the city. It could be said that the streets were deserted.
These Targaryen troops carried the banner of the three-headed fire dragon, and their sophisticated equipment made the defenders salivate.
They thought that the equipment they had was good enough, but they didn't expect that His Majesty the King would be more willing to spend money on giving him his own army.
The civilians of Pentos and the refugees who came here also came to welcome him.
Although Pentos has changed hands for half a year, this is the first time that the citizens of Pentos have seen the Targaryen army enter the city.
Except for the more than 200 personal guards that Viserys brought into the city, the rest of the army still maintained the previous system.
Viserys kept his original agreement with the Tattered Prince and the Targaryen army did not advance into Pentos.
However, now Viserys just used the excuse of war to let the army break the siege of Pentos and enter the city.
This is one of the reasons why the Tattered Prince looked so ugly just now.
"What a powerful army..."
"No wonder they were able to defeat those ferocious Dothraki."
There was a lot of discussion among the citizens of Pentos, who were shocked by the military appearance of the Targaryen family.
"Gods bless you."
"May His Majesty the King be able to take back the throne that belongs to him."
And some people pray to the gods out of gratitude.
"Huh? Cook? Didn't you say that His Majesty was a murderer half a year ago?"
A neighbor recognized the man who said the prayer.
After the Bloody Night half a year ago, he cursed the current king as a murderer and murdered the governors of Pentos.
If the Governor had not monopolized all walks of life, where would he have a job?
This is his blessing.
However, his 'father' was burned to death by the tyrant's dragon flame.
But the neighbors did not expect that just six months later, Cook, who once hated Viserys, would take the initiative to pray for the Targaryen army.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
However, Cook, who was wearing a gray robe, was startled when he heard his neighbor's words.
I quickly looked around and found that no one was paying attention. I was slightly relieved and then snorted coldly.
"snort--"
"What do you know?"
"Your Majesty killed those blood-sucking governors and relaxed restrictions on all walks of life, so that we can earn more wealth."
The governors who monopolized all industries in Pentos were wiped out along with their families, leaving huge vacancies in these once monopolized industries.
Although Viserys confiscated the assets of the governors, he did not continue to maintain monopolies.
Instead, they sold them off at a discount in order to stimulate economic recovery in a short period of time.
Cook learned this craft as a laborer for a governor and successfully opened a small shop three months ago.
My income now is countless times more than when I worked for the Governor.
He was just a little more worried, but Cook still sincerely thanked Viserys for creating all this for them.
