Chapter 177 Pentos’ Requiem
"Sentence Governor Guerrero Tetrus to death, deprive the Tetrus family of all property and power, and elect Hazan Moharis as the new Prince of Pentos?" Marte Tetrus Si's tone became extremely sharp, "Where is the Hazan? Shouldn't he give me an explanation?"
"Prince Hazan and his army have already entered the mansion first. By the way," the adjutant paused, "our spies said they broke through the outer courtyard of the mansion without encountering any resistance at all."
"There was no resistance? So Hazan and Illyrio are really allies?" Marte laughed angrily, "Is this so-called big trap originally aimed at us?"
"This" the adjutant didn't know how to reply.
"Gather all our troops around and besiege this mansion with all our strength!" Marte ordered, "Aren't they going to kill the Tetrus family? Then Hazan won't even think of getting out alive!"
"Your Highness, we have captured the outer courtyard of Illyrio's mansion without any resistance. According to the scout's report, they withdrew all their troops to the castle on the back mountain." Hazan's adjutant came to his side. .
"Abandon the mansion below completely? Does Mills have such courage?" Hazan shook his head, "Then besiege them first. It won't be too late to come back and take care of them after the other forces of Illyrio are eliminated."
"That's right," Hazan said immediately, "loot Illyrio's treasury before Marte and the others!"
"That. We have already been there, but it seems that Illyrio's treasure house has been ransacked once. Although most of the things are still there, the most valuable things have been taken away."
"How is that possible? Where does a thief come from who is so courageous?" Hazan was a little confused. Marthe's army had not entered the mansion yet, how could anyone arrive at Illyrio's treasure house earlier than him?
"Your Highness. Your Highness!"
Suddenly, a voice interrupted the conversation between Hazan and the adjutant. Hazan heard the sound and saw a young man rushing in front of him.
He remembered this man, the spy he had stationed outside the Palace of Parliament.
"What happened? Are you so impatient?" A bad premonition arose in Hazan's heart. He vaguely felt that this news was related to the closing of the Parliament Palace.
"The Great Council claims that Lord Guerrero Tetrus murdered Prince Trigg, and now the Great Council has sentenced Governor Tetrus to death, and... and the Great Council has voted for you to be the new Prince, Illyrio The governor also stated that the prince will gradually be given real power in the future!”
Hazan's heart skipped a beat. He almost didn't need to think about it to know that this must be Illyrio's plan to divorce.
"Find Marte Tetrus immediately, I want to explain to him face to face!" Hazan quickly ordered, "Forget it, I'll go find him myself."
Hazan completely lost his usual calmness at this moment, and wanted to run out of the hospital in a hurry.
But he had just taken a few steps when he heard a burst of footsteps, followed by the sound of steel colliding and killing shouts.
It turned out that the army of the Tetrus family had fought with their own guards.
"It's too late," Hazan stopped. "We have to find a way out."
Once the fighting starts, it's too late to explain.
And because Hazan encountered a lot of obstacles when attacking, but Marthe's army did not encounter any resistance, the ratio of their forces when they met here was almost 1:3.
He doesn't have the strength to fight Marte now.
However, as soon as Hazan took a few steps, he ran into another Tetrus family army coming from the other direction. As a last resort, Hazan could only leave some of his guards behind and chose a direction again. Escape.
Unfortunately, this time he still ran into the enemy.
Although the outer courtyard of Illyrio's mansion is as complicated as a maze, there are very few final exits.
At this point, Hazan finally realized that it was impossible for him to bypass Marte's army, so he simply picked up his weapon and rushed towards the enemy group, trying to force a breakout.
What they encountered at this time was just a group of miscellaneous soldiers. Hazan smashed the opponent into pieces with just one attack, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he encountered the opponent's reinforcements - Marte Tay The elite led by Truss himself.
In the chaos, Hazan still failed to find a chance to explain to Marte, so he was besieged.
Hazan knew that there was no way he could save himself this time. Neither the blessing of the Red God nor his mother's money could save him.
But what Hazan couldn't figure out was how on earth Illyrio discovered his plan and made these arrangements in advance? He couldn't figure it out.
When Ian's falcon took off from the roof, Marthe had already withdrawn to the north with his remaining men.
In the garden outside Illyrio's mansion, corpses were strewn all over the ground. Hazan was among them.
Ian felt a little regretful. Hazan could have been a good ally if he hadn't changed his plans at last and decided to take Daenerys away.
But unfortunately, from the moment Ian decided to take Daenerys away, the conflict between him and Hazan became irreconcilable - Hazan is a Pentos, and Ian took Daenerys away. It would be tantamount to exposing Pentos to Drogo's wrath, which Hazan would never accept.
Therefore, Ian must ensure the deaths of Hazan and Illyrio so that he can ensure that no one knows about his role in Pentos's disaster.
He would not incur the revenge of Marianne Frega for his betrayal of Hazan.
As for the loss of Braavos as a quasi-ally due to the death of Hazan, in Ian's view, the current situation gives him enough confidence to prevent Daenerys from declaring abolition at an inappropriate time. , then the ally of Braavos becomes less important.
Not long after, Ian Falcon flew to the south gate of the city.
At this time, the Dothraki had gathered outside the door. Ian had previously written a very humiliating letter to Drogo in the name of Illyrio, calling Drogo an uncivilized barbarian and claiming that he was not worthy of marrying. Princess of Valyria.
Ian wasn't worried about Drogo not being angered.
Subsequently, a group of 50 Unsullied in ordinary mercenary uniforms emerged from the slums and captured the city gate. The southern city was originally Hazan's territory. Hazan was attacked by Tetrus and Illyrio. After the siege by the two forces, most of the troops were lost. The city gate was almost undefended, and the Unsullied easily captured it.
The Unsullied opened the city gate and let the army of centaurs outside enter the city.
This was the first group of Unsullied that Illyrio gave to Ian. Ian disguised them and sent them near the city gate. He told them that these centaurs were here to support Governor Illyrio, and they were not suspicious.
Standing on the tower, Ian Falcon looked at the centaurs whizzing in and the firelight that started to light up from the south gate to the north.
The burnt smell of blood mixed with blood floated into his nose, and he felt a sense of discomfort.
I'm a player, Ian reminded himself.
If you can't treat everyone in this world as NPC characters, you will die at the hands of other players sooner or later.
Eupemus of Athens once said that when there is a profit, those in power will do anything.
But it’s not just the superiors who are doing everything possible?
Not wanting to stay here any longer, the falcon spread its wings and flew into the sky again.
Behind it, the crackle of flames, the sound of horse hooves, the roar of Dothraki, the sound of swords clashing, and the screams of Pentos intertwined together, like a grand concert.
Ian knew that it was Pentos' Requiem.
