The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 59 The escaped cheese seller

The war horse under him let out an uneasy growl, which made an impatient look appear subconsciously on Valerion Tirecidus's face. He gave the beast a kick, and the war horse trained by the Dothraki did indeed Be obedient, it was worth spending so much money. After being fucked like this by the man, she did become quiet.

A slight smile appeared on the prince's face, but it only lasted for a while. The noise of the battlefield reminded him of his current situation, and an angry look appeared on his face, "Pig Face, can't you hurry up and deal with these barbarians?" ?"

A figure with beautiful feathers on his helmet and plate armor straightened his chest towards the prince, with the straight spear in his hand pointing towards the sky. He himself was like a straight pine tree, and his white chin silently explained his identity. "Your Majesty, the little people are doing their best, but they need time."

On the battlefield in front of the prince, the Unsullied's solid shield wall kept the expeditionary force out, and whenever someone fell, an Unsullied would immediately take his place.

The Unsullied's use of spears is indeed as superb as the Astapor slave owners boasted, but the spears are still quite powerless against heavy armor, and their killing efficiency is not high.

"Useless eunuch."

The prince's angry scolding made the Unsullied immediately lower his head. Nothing on the battlefield was going to his liking.

And what happened next made Villerion feel even worse. The two expeditionary forces that had been watching the battle from behind also moved and attacked the centaurs on the left and right wings respectively. As these troops joined the battlefield, the centaurs originally The numerical advantage they still had was dissipated here.

Although the infantry were joining the battlefield, the centaurs were trapped because they besieged the Westeros knights, so there was no problem that the infantry could not catch up. Now, the prince's idea of ​​expecting the centaurs to completely devour the Westeros knights and then attack the expeditionary force's back or even the military camp was completely shattered.

The prince began to regret and wondered if it was a mistake to send away the mercenaries of the Golden Company. He spent a lot of money to hire these mercenaries. They should have been used as cannon fodder instead of the free people of Pentos.

This battle developed in a direction that was not conducive to them from the beginning. The war elephants originally used to attack the enemy's formation were instead used by the enemy. As a result, their own army's formation was broken, and the horsemen, these one-sided bastards, only He would chase the opponent's cavalry and completely forget about the strategy he ordered.

In his vision, the army of adventurers from the west should collapse in front of him, and should become a stepping stone for the Pentos people to regain their military confidence, instead of pushing them to retreat.

However, despite so many unsatisfactory developments, the prince is still confident. He has prepared a trump card that is enough to reverse all problems.

That is two thousand Unsullied. In order to purchase these Unsullied, the prince spent a huge amount of money, and hired the Golden Group. He even had to sell off many family properties, but he firmly believed that as long as he had force in his hands, everything would be possible. All will be lost and recovered.

This is indeed how things developed. Taking advantage of the anti-Braavos wave and accusations that Braavos failed to stop adventurers at sea, Valerion gained military and political power in the city. They gave in and agreed to Villerion's behavior - the Secret City did not have a strong army, and they also needed someone to deal with the rampaging expeditionary force.

Although the expeditionary force broke up his conspiracy in Andas, it was worth it compared to what he gained. He really had to thank the expeditionary force. Without the expeditionary force, he would not have been able to obtain these so quickly.

As he gained control of huge military power, all parties showed their goodwill to him. Those who bought his family's property even returned it one after another. The governors who always hindered him also honestly presented gold and silver treasures to him. The only one who was not a puppet for hundreds of years was the Prince of Pentos.

Having such a status made Valerion extremely proud, but he did not relax. He knew that he must go through iron and blood before he could sit on the throne with peace of mind, so he led the Pentos army to go to war.

After entering into a confrontation with the expeditionary force, Prince Villerion looked down on the expeditionary force from beginning to end. He had war elephants, well-trained soldiers, and centaurs who were not afraid of death, not to mention the Unsullied as the last insurance.

Therefore, he believed that he could completely swallow up the expeditionary force, so he sent away those mercenaries. The glory belonging to the Pentos people should not be tarnished by mercenaries.

It would be even better if the expeditionary force turns a blind eye to the departure of the Golden Company. When the news comes that the adventurer's lair has been occupied, the adventurer's army will quickly collapse, which is directly equivalent to victory without a fight.

But what Prince Villerion, who thought of many possibilities, never expected was that the expeditionary force in front of him, which he was sure to defeat, was so strong. His army was knocked out of his teeth directly in front of the expeditionary force.

However, with the Unsullied around, the adventurers still couldn't make a difference. Villerion thought that after spending such a high price, buying the Unsullied was indeed worth the money. After this battle, he scraped more from the governors. With more money, he will have to continue to buy more Unsullied. If this continues, he may be able to turn Pentos into a kingdom belonging to the Tirecidus family and abolish the damn governors.

At that time, everyone who disobeys him will die, such as those damn judges. These bastards who fell on the side of Braavos have been disgusting him. They deliberately did not respond to the troops sent out this time and beat him as a prince. Face, he must kill all these guys.

Just when Valerion was daydreaming about what would happen after his power was consolidated, a figure broke through the layers of defense of the Unsullied. It was a man with seven stars on his chest and a statue of the Crystal Knight on his helmet. This figure was dressed in yellow. The knight in armor was covered in blood, but the blood made him look more majestic.

The Unsullied lived up to their long-renowned name in Essos. The eunuch warriors immediately raised their shields and pressed towards the knights who broke through the battle line. Even if the knights stabbed several of them with their spears, they still moved forward firmly.

"Huh, I'm scared to death. How could something like this happen?"

As the knight was surrounded by the eunuchs who came up, the prince breathed a sigh of relief, but in a flash he vented his inner anger on the Unsullied beside him.

"This is the problem of the little people, and the little people are trying their best to make up for it." The Unsullied put down his shield and spear and made a gesture of responding to the enemy. His mood still did not change much, and there was only respect and obedience in his words.

The prince's entourage all began to whisper and laugh at the eunuch. The enemy was already trapped, so why bother doing so? Sure enough, the Unsullied cannot be treated as human beings, but should be treated as machines.

"Inhumane dead eunuch."

The prince cursed, but the Unsullied still seemed not to hear, which made the prince a little upset and a little uncomfortable. Eunuchs are easy to use, but many times they are too inhuman. If he usually scolds his servants, they will immediately They will flatter themselves crazily in front of them, but when they scold the Unsullied, these guys will only admit their mistakes mechanically and cannot show any emotion.

The name of the eunuch appointed by the prince is Pig Face, which was the name he drew on the day the prince purchased it. He is already the most proactive among the prince's two thousand Unsullied, but getting along with him still makes people feel... Unnatural and uncomfortable.

However, when the prince recovered his thoughts from the Unsullied, he suddenly heard a lot of noise, as well as exclamations such as "stop this man" and "stop him."

The prince raised his head, only to see the knight who broke through the battle line rushing towards him. Several of the prince's attendants stepped forward to stop him, but were stabbed to death by him. The Unsullied bravely stepped forward with his shield, but the knight threw The spear in his hand penetrated his head.

It turned out that just now, as soon as the knight clamped down on the horse's belly, the horse leaped over the surrounding Unsullied and continued to charge towards the prince. The knight who drew the sword from his waist kept slashing, and a huge amount of fear immediately emerged in Villerion's heart. This was the first time he faced an enemy so close. He was usually surrounded by countless servants and soldiers. Action, where have I ever experienced this kind of scene?

At the beginning, the prince could barely hold his ground, but as the knight got closer and closer, he became less and less calm. The knight seemed to be a divine help. Neither the Unsullied nor the knight could block this attack. A knight, he is like a "warrior".

"The Unsullied! Come closer to me!"

Finally, Prince Villerion's fear completely overwhelmed his reason. He understood how much impact this order would have, but he could no longer care about it.

As the prince shouted the order, the Unsullied immediately put down the fight in front of them. Seeing the Unsullied like this, some members of the expeditionary force immediately thought that this was an opportunity to cover up the kill, and rushed forward recklessly, but in the blink of an eye they were killed by spears. Pricked into a sieve.

However, retreat is a difficult thing after all. Even the Unsullied were killed in large numbers during the retreat. There are always Unsullied who are disconnected from the large team due to various original pictures. They will immediately Being attacked and killed by the expeditionary force, the expeditionary force was like a hyena surrounding a wounded lion. Once the lion showed signs of fatigue, it would step forward and bite him.

If Prince Villerion saw it, he might not know how heartbroken he would be. These were the soldiers he bought with real money, but he couldn't care less now, because the god of death was getting closer and closer to him.

Prince Valerian turned his horse around, patted it and ran away. As soon as he ran away, the Unsullied followed the prince mechanically. This further distorted the battle line. Everyone in the expeditionary force immediately seized the opportunity and completely tore the eunuch's battle line apart. .

During the battle with the Unsullied, everyone in the expeditionary force knew that the eunuch warriors were difficult to deal with, so they cut the Unsullied into pieces and surrounded and killed them. The other Unsullied did not care about these companions who were being besieged and killed. They all mechanically carried out the prince's orders and rushed towards him.

Villerion galloped on his horse, and the nobility and indifference of the prince disappeared. Now he was only afraid of death, and he just wanted to escape to the camp. There were still many defenders there, and he would be safe there.

The knight behind the prince is naturally Hu Ge. Under normal circumstances, he should have caught up with the prince long ago, but because the prince's knights and the Unsullied were desperately trying to stop him, Hu Ge's speed was basically not enough. go.

And the further back you go, the more troops that were defeated from the front line are gathering again. When they see the prince and Hu Ge, they immediately gather to hinder Hu Ge. Although it is not difficult to break through these broken troops, it is too tortuous one layer after another. people.

In this way, Hugo could only watch Villerion run into the camp, and rounds of arrows fell in front of Hugo. Hugo could only rein in his horse, and looked back at the Unsullied who were following behind him. Okay, the plan has been completed, there is no need to continue to worry about it now.

Hu Ge quickly turned the horse's head to avoid the path taken by the Unsullied. Although his force was not low, it would still be bad to bump into the Unsullied.

With the retreat of the Unsullied, the defeat of the Pentos people was a foregone conclusion. Originally, the battle was maintained by the fighting of the Unsullied. As soon as the Unsullied left, they collapsed crazily. As the Unsullied followed the prince, they fled wildly. , and other Pentos people followed suit.

As for the slaves of Pentos, when they saw that their masters had run away, they decisively dropped their weapons and surrendered. Some of them killed the Pentos or mercenaries around them in order to hand over their surrender certificates.

"Prisoners! Master Hu Ge needs prisoners! Capture prisoners!"

Farmer Snow yelled as if he was about to give up his voice. Hugo heard his voice from far away. This made Hugo subconsciously pick his ears, but in the blink of an eye, he remembered that he had iron gloves on his hands and was still wearing them. Helmet, couldn't help but laugh a few times.

When Hugo returned from riding his horse, he was greeted by the cheers of the fleeing Pantos people and the soldiers of the expeditionary force. Hugo's heroic pursuit of the Prince of Pentos was seen by everyone, which made Hugo's prestige even higher. .

"Comrades, don't relax. The Pentos people have not yet been completely defeated. Attack their camp and drive them completely into the sea!" Hu Ge encouraged everyone to chase the enemy. He could not take down the camp alone, but the army would not. Same.

"Yes!" Everyone responded to Hu Ge in unison, enjoying so many mountain calls. Hu Ge felt as if he controlled the entire world.

A large number of troops pressed forward, and the seven-star flag completely overwhelmed the slave owner's flag. This was the first time in this land where the ancient Andas Kingdom stood.

When the expeditionary force pressed forward, Pentos was quickly breached, and the camp was filled with a large number of defeated troops. These people had no intention of defending the city wall, and they were constantly flocking to the port, where there were many ships.

As a prince, Villerion naturally boarded the ship early. Now he is watching groups of soldiers rushing to board the ship. His heart is bleeding. He has just counted the number of Unsullied who have boarded the ship. They have gone from two thousand. If a person falls to less than a thousand and loses more than half of his money at one time, then all that money is real money, just gone.

"Prepare to pull out the anchor." Prince Villerion said dejectedly, as if he had given up all hope.

"But Prince, there are still many people who have not boarded the ship."

"Then wait another twenty minutes, and drive all the mercenaries and slaves off the ship. I don't need them, and there is no place for them on the ship."

The prince wanted to leave regardless of the order, but if he really ignored the free people of Pentos, it would be a fatal blow to his power. Therefore, even if it is just a gesture, he must save the free people as much as possible.

"Send a ship to catch up with the Golden Company and let them return to Pentos."

The prince went on to say that his position had been shaky due to the defeat. If he wanted to maintain his position, he had to seize everything that could help him secure his position. The most important thing now was military strength. Although the Unsullied suffered heavy losses, If the Golden Group is still there, don't worry.

However, just when the prince was trying to calm his mind, chaos occurred again. As the slaves and mercenaries began to be driven down on the ship, it immediately caused a big stir. No one wanted to be driven down to die. They had a If you have weapons, then you can fight these bastards.

So at the port, the fighting began, but after the prince sent the Unsullied, the chaos was suppressed. However, this wave of chaos wasted a lot of time, and the expeditionary force was getting closer and closer to the port. Seeing this, the prince also Regardless of the fact that there were still many people who had not boarded the ship, they left the port.

With the departure of the Pentos people, they have completely failed here.
