The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 112 The future Eastern Territory Center
In the battle on the east and west sides of the Narrow Sea, the moment the city gates were captured, it meant that the battle was generally over.

In some places and for some ethnic groups, the breach of the city gate only represents the beginning of the battle, and then comes the time to compete using the complex city defense system. But at least in Myr now, the breach of the city gate also represents the end of the battle.

The workers' uprising in the Myr factory broke out with extremely powerful fighting power. Even though the Myr people continued to cut, but if they wanted to produce, they had to form slaves. This made the slaves in each workshop inherently extremely powerful. Organizational power.

The Myr people knew this very well, so they used various methods to suppress slaves. However, when everything was collapsing, these suppressions seemed so ridiculous.

The slaves overwhelmingly defeated the guards and then opened the city gate. However, although there were heroic achievements of the slaves here, it was mostly the continuous siege by the Westeros people, which forced the Myrs to use a large number of weapons that should have been used. The soldiers who suppressed the city were sent to the city walls.

Now, in the city of Myr, the scenes that happened in Pentos are repeated again. The people of Westeros and the liberated slaves vent their anger in Myr, and all kinds of extremely miserable scenes are staged again.

Myre Academy is a school with a reputation across the Narrow Sea. Its status in Essos is like that of the Academy in Westeros, but it is only similar. Myre Academy cannot be like The Citadel filled the court of every Lord of Westeros with maesters.

As a place where energetic livestock (citizen language) gathers, a community with various service industries has been formed around Mill Church. The entire community exists for these gardens, but now it is under the flames of war. , the community also burned.

When Ed led his army to arrive, he thought he would be too late, but found that the teachers and students of Mill Academy had already taken up arms and blocked the tall walls of the academy. The slaves and mobs who wanted to enter were all Many bodies were left behind under the high wall.

Seeing the arrival of the Westeros people, the teachers and students of the academy were very vigilant. It was not until Ed swore to protect their safety in the name of the old and new gods that the students of the academy let down some of their vigilance.

Although it was almost in vain, Ed still had to carry out his mission. He asked the soldiers to guard the surroundings of the teaching garden, and he personally held the ice and stood at the door of the teaching garden.

Because the Mir Academy and the residents of the surrounding communities have staged many armed attacks, and even the Mir Privy Palace ordered the city guard to attack the city, young people are inherently unstable factors, not to mention that they are a group of idle young people, so they are in conflict with the surrounding communities. The community and the Mill government have always had frictions, large and small, and in the end these frictions had to be resolved with real swords and guns.

This news is undoubtedly a good thing for Ed. Ed is unwilling to plunder mainly because he does not want his subordinates to commit murder. However, Ed is very supportive of taking over the robbery of slave owners' wealth.

However, Ed did not lead the army immediately, but first asked the chief scholar why, and the chief scholar's answer was simple, "Since you have protected us, we have to find a way to get you something, and, then We can’t hide the bank’s wealth even if we don’t tell it, so I’ll leave it to you.”

Seeing the confusion in Ed's eyes, Melis said this, but as Ed knew what this bad thing was, his expression became weird.

This made many northern princes very angry, but no one dared to oppose Ed. Duke Stark's prestige could not be shaken. In this way, the northerners were forced to watch the rest of the army plundering the city, and themselves Empty hands.

Therefore, the northern princes constantly applied to Ed to lead troops to plunder, but they were all rejected by Ed. He didn't care what others did, but he wanted to restrain his own troops as much as possible.

Then, Ed was able to meet the chief scholar of the Myr Cathedral. His name was Melis Tautalus, a native of Myr. The geometric pattern, but what is inconsistent with this dress is that Melis is holding a mace in his hand, and judging from the way he masters it, he must use it frequently on weekdays.

In the city of Myr, other Westeros people and slaves were getting a lot of loot from the city. Seeing their gains, the people in the north couldn't sit still. The north was already poor, and everyone going south this time was With the mentality of making a fortune, now they can only guard a shabby teaching garden without being able to loot the loot. This is very uncomfortable.

"It's funny, Lord Ed. Although we are scholars, scholars must learn to protect themselves. Our relationship with the surrounding communities has never been very good."

As soon as this chaos broke out, Mill Educational Center immediately raised its alert to the highest level, and then brought in all the students who were willing to live and die with the school and their relatives who had made good friends with the residents. Many graduates also spontaneously brought their families to the teaching center. Garden.

At the same time, he also felt that Robert would definitely like these Myrs in the future. Ed knew that Robert had always regarded the bachelors in the city as sissies and losers, and these Myrs were obviously more attracted to him.

Therefore, there was constant friction surrounding the Mir Academy, so the Mir Academy built its surroundings like iron barrels, like a fortress - it was precisely because of this that the Mir Academy preserved their Independence and freedom.

Although the Mir Academy has provided Mir with a large number of talents and technologies, due to its enrollment system for ordinary people and even slaves, its connection with the powerful class is not very close. In addition, from time to time there are people popping up in the Academy. The professors who came to advocate the abolition of slavery and their students would even go out on the streets for the abolition of slavery, which made those in power dislike them.

After learning this, Ed Stark felt that his visit was in vain. Even if he did not come, these teachers and students of the teaching garden could protect their homeland. Even if ordinary princes came to attack the teaching garden, they might not be able to do so. Take it.

Slavery is absolutely politically incorrect in Westeros. A lord can beat, curse, and kill his own subjects, but if he sells people as slaves, then the lord will face the blame of the entire society.

Under such circumstances, Chief Scholar Melis told Ed a piece of information, that is, the location of the secret vault of Mill Bank. This information came from a manager of Mill Bank, who graduated from Mill Academy, and the siege began. Afterwards, he fled into the church.

This made Eddard look at this person with admiration. He had a feeling that Robert would like this person.

Next, under the leadership of the Myr people, the Northerners were able to find the secret vault of the Myr Bank. As the man said, there was an extremely huge wealth in it, enough to feed everyone in the Northern Expeditionary Force. of wealth.

Just as the nobles in the north, including Ed, were beaming with joy, a piece of news swept through the entire Myr like a whirlwind, that is, Robert had captured the Privy Palace, the political center of Myr. .

After Robert captured Myr, His Majesty the King did not allow the killing to continue for too long. Soon, Baratheon's knights began to run through the blood-stained streets of Myr.

The act of restoring order naturally caused dissatisfaction among many people, especially the infantry and slaves. The former had been enduring high-intensity fighting this week and could be said to be driven to die under the walls of Myr, while the latter could be said to be "a thousand-year feud." , hundreds of years of grievances are waiting to be settled.

To these people, Robert was not polite at all. The stag knight killed the thorns among them without hesitation, and then announced the generous loot that everyone could get. This wave of carrots mixed with big sticks succeeded in appeasing them. The infantry and slaves fell silent.

Now, in the Privy Palace of Myr, Robert is sitting high on the seat that once belonged to the first governor of Myr. He is positioned here like the owner of the palace, and beside him are the satisfied princes and A businessman with a flattering face.

As for the conquered, they were taking notes with Stannis next to them, writing their letters of allegiance and surrender, and arranging for the family's hostages to be sent to King's Landing.

When Eddard came in, he saw such a scene. Robert seemed very excited to see Eddard. He stepped down from the throne and said, "Ned, my good friend, come here and see everything we have conquered." ”

Robert took Ed to the balcony of the palace. From here, he could overlook the entire Mill and the farmland outside the city.

"This is how a man should live, Ned. The time I came to the East was the happiest time since I sat on that iron chair that hurt my butt. I saw the sights of foreign countries and defeated the enemies of foreign countries. The army, conquering foreign cities, oh, and tasting women from all over the world, this is the life I want.”

Eddard faced Robert with a smile, he was still as he remembered it, he was very familiar with it, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you have accomplished a feat that even the dragon kings have not been able to accomplish."

What Ed said was not a compliment, but a fact. Even the Dragon King had never conquered a Free Trade City.

"This is just the beginning. Soon I will meet her other two sisters, and my third daughter will soon be in love with me. Ah, I have thought of how the poet would describe my great achievements, 'raping the three sisters', this What a great name, hahaha, I actually did three of these slave masters that night.”

Robert's love for women is as strong as ever, Eddard thought as he looked at his old friend, and then he asked the question he brought, "By the way, why do you want to keep the Myre Academy? You are not someone who loves knowledge. people."

"Oh, you said this, Ned, you did a very good job. As for what I want to do..." Robert gave up, with a smile of control on his face, "The power of the city is too great, you Don't you think so? This time they want to continue the expedition to expand their power to Essos. Seeing how many people they sent this time, these old men seem to be really anxious, but I will not follow their wishes. , I did not conquer the East to open up territory for the academy."

"Furthermore, there are too many things monopolized by the Academy. Our daily letters and our children are all in the hands of bachelors from the Economic Academy. How much influence do you think they have exerted by taking this opportunity? Now is an opportunity for me to break the Opportunities to create this kind of monopoly.”

Now Robert is not at all like the reckless and reckless man before. Instead, he analyzes the reality with reason and evidence. He looks very calm. Eddard is not surprised by this scene. As Robert's friend, the king is like this. Although it was rare, he had seen it before.

Eddard knows best that Robert is smart, but many times he would rather be confused. When he is exhausted from adhering to principles, Eddard will have some thoughts of envy of Robert and his confusion-although Pushing yourself should never be like this.

"So, Ned, I will soon have a scholar of Myr at my court, do you understand? As my friend, I wish the same for you."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely try my best to cooperate with you." Eddard said in an unprecedented formal manner. He was very aware of the important political implications of Robert's actions.

"I also plan to summon some frustrated scholars from the Myr Academy and the Citadel. I have a big plan... Forget it, it's a little too far. Let me talk about the present. Ned, are you interested in settling in Myr? How many of you are from the North?" Robert suddenly became interested and asked with a smile.

"I don't, Your Majesty." Eddard replied very honestly, while Robert's face showed a true expression.

"Ned, you can't let go of your stable glory. Myr will become the center of my rule in the east in the future. There are developed plains, rich fishing grounds, countless ingenious workers, and a historical building. Don’t you have any idea that countless wealth will be concentrated here in the future? You know, the Bolton below your family occupies a lot of land in Pentos and is building a lot of construction there to strengthen the northern border. Are you not afraid of the connection with the East?”

Robert's words made Eddard's expression change. He was no longer as calm as before. His ancestors spent countless years destroying the Red King's commercial ties with the East, and also used the method of supporting the Manderly family to replace the Dreadfort's trade with the East. His position in the army cut off the Red King's largest source of wealth and forced the Dreadfort to surrender to Winterfell.

Ed wanted to reject Robert for the sake of glory, but he was the Duke of Winterfell and the leader of the Stark clan. He couldn't just be responsible for the glory. He also had to be responsible for the Starks, the vassals, and the Starks. The North is responsible.

Seeing the change in Ed's expression, Robert felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment in his heart. Ha, he finally saw Ned struggling to give up glory. Although he felt sorry for his brother to think so, he just felt that So cool!
"I will arrange it, Your Majesty the King. I will have to trouble you then."

Although extremely reluctant, Ed still said this.
