Chapter 259 The Fall of the City-State

At the same time, in the military camp of the Second Sons Regiment at the North Gate of Myr, Mero, the leader of the Second Sons Regiment, who was known as the bastard son of the Titans, rarely drank or called prostitutes. He only sent his deputy commander Ben Pu Leng and Guard Captain Casparo stayed in the camp. The three of them sat quietly on the carpet, as if waiting for someone.

The curtain of the tent was opened, and a man entered the tent with a smile. There was no movement from the guards outside the tent, as if those guards had disappeared.

"The Rat King of Myr." Mero narrowed his eyes slightly, reached out and touched his beard, and gave a secret signal to Casparo next to him.

Casparo stood up and walked to the door of the tent, opened the door curtain and looked outside. He found that all the guards had fallen to the ground, and there were a dozen short dwarfs standing around them.

"The Mouse Guard is indeed well-deserved." Casparo put down the curtain and did not return to his seat. Instead, he walked to Mero's side and stood there like an ordinary guard.

The person who came to the Second Son Regiment's military camp was none other than the underground emperor of Myr, the Rat King Dahax. He left the lair this time because of Lind's order.

"Tell me! What conditions did that adult offer me?" Mero asked directly.

"My lord, the condition for you is to give you a way out," Dahax looked at the three people in front of him and said, "After you open the north gate, you can leave through the north gate. The believers of the God of Natural Disasters outside the city will not Stop you."

"What's this?" Ben Plumm couldn't help but said angrily: "You want us to open the city gate without giving you anything?"

Dahax retorted very seriously: "No, my Lord has given you the most precious thing, and that is your life."

"Are you fooling us?" Mero had a fierce look on his face, stood up, and touched the handle of the weapon.

Dahax looked at each other calmly and said: "I'm not fooling you, because what I said is the truth. In fact, it doesn't matter whether you can open the door or not. As we speak, Governor Edmonton has surrendered to us. , the Miracle Fleet boarded the dock without any damage. You continue to guard the north gate. It is just a little troublesome for us to take over Myr. The final result will not change, and your second son group missed this opportunity. , will cease to exist forever.”

Then he ignored these hostile mercenaries and turned around to leave. However, when he reached the entrance of the tent, he suddenly stopped, looked back at the Second Son Regiment and said, "Speaking of which, the Governor's Mansion in the city seems to be Not many people were on guard, and everyone was transferred to the city walls and docks. It was really dangerous to do this. What if someone had evil intentions? "

After saying that, he lifted the tent flap and walked out. The sound of his footsteps soon disappeared outside the tent.

In the tent, Mero never dared to draw his weapon because he could feel that if he did draw his weapon, all three of them would die here.

So when Dahax left, Mero breathed a sigh of relief. Then he thought for a moment and ordered: "Get everyone up and let's take action."

Ben Plumm and Casparo were stunned after hearing this. They soon understood what the leader meant by taking action, and they all showed a sinister smile on their faces.

That night, the Second Sons betrayed the governors of Myr, directly ransacked several governor's mansions near the north gate, and then escaped from Myr through the north gate they guarded.

At the same time, the army of believers of the God of Scourge entered Myr City through the opened north gate without any hindrance and began to clear away the resistance in Myr City.

Almost at the same time that the army of believers of the God of Scourge entered the city, the Miracle Fleet off the dock also sailed into Myr's dock and occupied the port. However, Myr's navy did not make any move to resist, and with the waves of resistance, was cleared, and Mill was completely destroyed.

At the Governor's Council in Myr City the next day, just like the meeting in Tyrosh, the governors passed a resolution to surrender Summer Hall, and also added something that was not mentioned in Tyrosh's proposal to surrender, that is, Recognize Lind's right to rule the disputed lands.

The sudden changes in the three major city-states in the disputed land shocked everyone. Some time ago, it was reported that a great plague broke out there, and the next moment the plague disappeared. Then the three major city-states were defeated by Volantis and Summer Hall. Divided.

During the entire process, except for some naval battles and landing battles when Volantis captured Lys, there was not even a decent battle in Summer Hall's capture of Tyrosh and Myr, as if these two free city-states had already thought about it. I am going to join the Summer Hall.

The fact that Tyrosh would surrender to the Summer Hall was not beyond the expectations of other Free City States. After all, as the army of the Summer Hall entered Tyrosh, and Tyrosh completely gave up its defense force, Tyrosh would fall. It is common knowledge, the only question is when it will fall.

And that Myr would surrender so quickly was completely beyond everyone's expectations. Myr's own fleet has not been destroyed, and it still has a certain degree of maritime power. Myr is also protected by high walls like Tyrosh. By dedicating some people to join the defense, they will definitely be able to block several waves of attacks, or at least be able to withstand Linde's attack.

But they never expected that Myr's fleet would surrender en masse when the God's Chosen Fleet approached. This puzzled many people. On the contrary, the Second Sons, who were responsible for defending the city, rebelled and escaped, which is more understandable.

The final result was that during the entire capture process, Linde captured two Free Trade Cities without even showing up at the front line. With Myr's vassalage proposal coming out, Linde declared that he had the right to rule the disputed land, and Tyrosh also followed suit. The same statement followed.

At the same time that Tyrosh issued a statement that Summerhall had the right to rule the disputed land, something unusual happened in Lys.

I don’t know whether it was because the capture of Lys was so smooth that Volantis’ generals took it lightly, or whether the trade princes and governors of Lys were too obedient during the capture, making Volantis think that they were not a threat. As a result, It's just that they didn't restrict the activities of Governor Reese and the Trade Prince.

In the House of the Purple Rose in Lys, the dignitaries of Lys wearing noble robes and hoods were taken by servants from the secret passage to a secret room below the brothel.

When these people took off their hoods, they revealed faces that were well-known to everyone in Reese. These people were all trade princes and governors of Reese, and they held the greatest power in Reese a few days ago. But now they are just wealthy businessmen.

"Trig O'Molon, what do you want to do by calling us here?" Barromir, who often claims to be of orthodox Valyrian blood, has long silver hair and purple eyes. In Volantis Before the capture of Reese, he was responsible for the freight at Reese Terminal. Now he not only lost his rights, but also lost an important cargo stored in the warehouse. So after seeing the convener, he couldn't wait to ask about the purpose. Want to get the answers you want to hear from the other person.

"Don't worry, Lord Byromir, there are still some of us who haven't arrived yet." Trigg O'Morun signaled the other party to be calm. After waiting for a while, two more people came in, and then he raised his hand to signal everyone in the room. He calmed down, then led a woman wearing a hood and cloak beside him to the center of the crowd, motioning for the woman to put down her hood.

I saw that this woman had beautiful long golden curly hair, a voluptuous figure, and a beautiful appearance. If it were normal times, the trade princes and governors present might be eager to court this beauty and let her sleep in their bed, but Now such a beauty has temporarily lost its appeal in their hearts, and they are more concerned about other matters.

Looking at the puzzled faces of everyone around him, Trigg O'Molan explained: "This is my favorite lover, her name is Lynyce Hightower. Yes, she is the Hightower you are thinking of. Er, she is the youngest daughter of Lord Hightower, but I brought her here not because of her Hightower identity, but because of her other connections. Among her sisters, one is in Westeros Highgarden. The Duchess, and the other sister’s identity is even more unusual. She is the right-hand man of the Earl of Summer Hall, the Lord of the Black Cave, Mauroa Hightower.”

As Trigg O'Molun's words fell, discussions resounded in the room again. Everyone present could be the top dignitary in Reese, and naturally they were not lacking in wisdom. They soon knew what Trigg O'Molun wanted to say. What.

Someone said with doubts: "I remember that the relationship between Summer Hall and Volantis is very good. The reason why Volantis attacked us this time is entirely because of the mediation of Nymeria, the new Queen of Rhoynar. Regarding the conflict between the Elephant Party and the Tiger Party, Nymeria is the wife of the Lord of Summer Hall. Obviously, Lynde Terra should also be aware of Volantis' actions, and may even be an ally. Otherwise, how could they cooperate? There is a tacit understanding that if they attack us here, they will occupy Myr and Tyrosh."

As someone voiced their doubts, people around him agreed and thought Linde was untrustworthy.

Traeger calmly raised his hand again to signal everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "According to the news I just received, Lind Terra appeared on Gray Gallows Island in the Stepstone Islands three days ago. The fleet of the Three Sea Monsters Alliance has also gathered at Gray Gallows Island. If I predict correctly, Lind Terra should have led the fleet of the Three Sea Monsters Alliance to the waters off Rees by now."

"Does he also want to annex Reese?" Someone immediately shouted.

Trigg said calmly: "Both Myr and Tyrosh have publicly declared that he has the right to rule the Disputed Land, which means they recognize that he is the king of the Disputed Land, and we, Lys, are also part of the Disputed Land. What do you think?" Will he let us go?"

After hearing Trigg's words, everyone's faces became extremely ugly. They found that they were now like a ball of dough, allowing others to manipulate them.

"Who will be the final winner, Volantis or Summer Hall?" someone suddenly said.

Although everyone felt a little uncomfortable when they heard this, they also knew very well that Reese was no longer qualified to participate in this battle. They were just a trophy.

"It should be Summer Hall." Someone quickly gave the answer, and others nodded.

In the past, they might have thought that the two were about the same strength and it would be difficult to tell the winner, but as Linde's series of deeds in Qohor spread, no one would be optimistic about Volantis, and Not to mention the famous three sea monsters under Linde's command, Linde alone might be able to submerge the Volantis fleet in the sea. After all, Linde is the real incarnation of the Storm God.

Someone said: "Actually, it is not bad to join the Summer Hall. I heard that most of the governors and consuls of Tyrosh and Myr have been retained, and the various rights have not been weakened too much. It is just the army and city-state guards. The armed forces are controlled by Shengxia Hall."

Many people also echoed this statement. Although others did not agree, they did not deny it, but they were silent one by one, not knowing what they were thinking.

Barromir asked in a deep voice: "Trig, what about you? Do you think it is better to surrender to Summer Hall, or to let Volantis rule?"

Trigg said tactfully and vaguely: "I'm just a convener. I follow everyone's ideas on these matters. As long as everyone thinks it's good to join the Summer Hall, I will send Linnis to see Lynde Terra. I believe that with her It’s not difficult to see Lind Terra with our identity, and it can also make Lind Terra take us seriously.”

Anyone who knew Trigg O'Molun knew that it was difficult to extract the truth from him, so no one asked him again. Instead, they found other people to discuss the feasibility of joining Linde.

Soon they had the result, which was that Reese surrendered to Summer Hall. In order to make this matter more formal, they all took out the seals of the governor and prince they had saved and signed a surrender agreement, in which they declared that Reese had already Subordinate to Summerhall, which has dominion over Lys and, like Myr and Tyrosh, claims dominion over the entire disputed land and its city-states.

After all the governors stamped their seals, the agreement was handed over to Lynes, and then Trigg used his secret passage boat to send Lynes out of Lys, and took a boat waiting on the sea, heading towards Linde's The fleet sailed past.

"Immediately send this order back to Braavos and Pentos, telling them that action there is too slow. When I return to Summerhall, I must hear that printing and papermaking have begun to develop in these two countries." The news circulated in the city-state." Lind quickly wrote down an order, handed it to Jon, and said.

Jon took the letter and walked out of the captain's room, came to the deck, found Baelor Blacktyce, and asked him to prepare a few letter eagles to send out the instructions.

After giving the order, Jon was about to return to the cabin when he suddenly heard the sound of the lookout's horn. Then he saw the lookout hands of several ships pointing to the sea in the distance. Looking over, he saw a ship carrying The characteristic sailing ship of Reese is approaching rapidly.

The ship of the Three Sea Monsters Alliance intercepted the sailboat when it was approaching. The sailors boarded the ship and asked about the ship's origin and purpose. After checking that the ship was not dangerous, they led the people on the ship to board the ship of the Three Sea Monsters. The ship came to the side of Linde's ship.

At this time, the sharp-eyed Jon quickly saw the people on the boat clearly, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Miss Linnis, why is it you?"
