Suddenly, a guard jumped down from the parapet and rushed into the crowd surrounding the castle.

Archbishop Pete, who swaggered out of the castle gates and left the Red Keep, did not know what was happening on the parapet, but his behavior attracted his attention. Just as they were coming back to their senses in confusion, the believers standing in front of the gate of the Red Fort showed frightened expressions.

The archbishop of the Seven Gods was puzzled by the expression of the believer.

Behind him, the guards who had escorted him out of the dungeon suddenly drew their swords and stabbed him in the back of the heart!

"For the Queen!"

The soldier who killed Pete shouted loudly.

Looking at the Archbishop of the Seven Gods, Pete, who was lying in a pool of blood, and looking at the murderous soldiers, the believers fell silent, and after a few breaths, all of them burst into a roar of rage.

"Let's avenge the archbishop!"

"Storm the Red Keep and kill them all!"

Before the queen left the parapet with the poisoned and unconscious queen, the fanatical believers of the Seven Gods outside suddenly attacked the gate, and the guards who were supposed to guard the gate actually joined in!

"We've got to get our hands dirty. ”

Looking at the mob as they tried to storm the parapet, Melisandre spoke in a deep voice, and flames erupted out of thin air.

At this juncture, Tyrion and Malwyn were not pedantic, and nodded in agreement.

Jorah swung his sword to meet the mob and clear the way, and magic and magic unleashed, eliciting a series of screams and wails.

Hound and Berry are both in the Red Fort.

The mob stormed the castle and found the Queen, the Red Robe, Tyrion, Malwyn and others surrounded, and they immediately drew their swords and ran to the crowd to try to support.

Bo Long found the little demon in embarrassment: "There are believers of the Seven Gods on all sides, if the guards don't resist, forget it, and join them, we are already under siege!"

"Is there any secret passage around here where I can leave the Red Keep?"

"Tell me if you have one!"

The nervous Tyrion looked at him speechlessly, "Who will build the secret passage on this side of the parapet?"

Bolon: "And how are we going to leave?"

"We're not leaving!" Tyrion saw the red-robed priests of the Red God, who had created flames to attack the mob.

Bolon: "I know the transcendents are leaving, but King's Landing has hundreds of thousands of followers of the Seven Gods, and it's too dangerous to stay here!"

"If you don't go, I won't ......"

"Captain Bolon, you will stay to protect the Queen!"

Melisandre exuded a terrifying killing intent, and the mercenary who was threatening the slippery head said coldly.

Hearing this, Bolon's cold sweat came out, and he barely pulled the corners of his mouth, and obediently went to Jorah's side to block the mob.

Varys: "Tyrion, we do need to consider leaving King's Landing. ”

"My little bird only found out that the Church of the Seven was behind it, and found no hidden assassins, let alone other forces. ”

"It's really not safe here in King's Landing. ”

"But where else can we go?" said Tyrion's expression.

Varys: "To Mill!"

"The Chief of Intelligence means to find His Highness Arthur?" asked Melisandre, who heard this, distractedly.

Tyrion smiled wryly, "Let the Queen give up the Iron Throne?"

"Or else?" said Varys, "there is no good in us staying here, and don't forget that we are at war, and Robert and they will not let go of such a good opportunity." ”

"Do you want to die in King's Landing?"

"Robert will spare His Majesty because of His Highness Arthur, but our safety is hard to guarantee, you are still the Lannister he hates!"

"Besides, your brother Jaime is still locked up in the dungeon, and if he leaves King's Landing, he may have a chance to live. ”

Hearing the words of the Octopus, countless thoughts flashed through Tyrion's mind, and considering the current situation in King's Landing, he quickly had an idea.

The mob is just ordinary people.

Guards who believe in the Seven Gods are no match for the Transcendent.

With the Hound and Berry rushing forward with their swords, and the Red God Priest casting spells, they soon joined up with Jorah, Bron, Marwin and Melisandre, as well as the unconscious Dragon Queen and Tyrion.

With plenty of mana, Marvin showed no mercy and killed all the thugs with bad intentions.

With the cooperation of swords and swords, the brilliance of magic flickered, the flames burned, and soon returned to the Meige Tower.

Blocking gates and passageways.

The Queen's Doctor, who had studied medicine, immediately began to treat the Queen.

However.

The poison on the dagger is no ordinary poison!

There's a curse in it!

Malwyn and Melisandre work together to eliminate the toxin and save the Queen's life, but they can't do anything about the curse.

Looking at Daenerys, who was breathing weakly, Tyrion groaned and broke the silence, "Your Majesty is unconscious, Scholar, I think it's necessary for us to abandon King's Landing." ”

"Do you have any ideas?"

Hearing what the little devil said, Malwin, who was a scholar, turned his head to look out the window, entered the Red Keep, surrounded the Megar Tower, and was cursing loudly, throwing stones at the mob.

Ponder for a moment.

The magician was still powerless about the current situation, so he could only sigh and say, "No"

Varys said, "Shall we go to Mill then?"

"His Highness Arthur has taken Mill under control. ”

Melisandre frowned, "Her Majesty is in a coma, and we can't command the dragons. ”

Tyrion was a little speechless: "If you can't ride a dragon, you can take a boat." ”

The Church of Lachlo was active in Westeros to spread the greatness of the Lord of Light, and Melisandre was really not willing to leave like that.

Face a mob of hundreds of thousands of gods and goddesses.

Even if the priests had powerful divine skills and could summon true gods to descend, it would be difficult to force others to convert.

As the Queen's Bachelor, Malvin doesn't care what the red-robed girl thinks.

The Hand of the Queen and the Chief of Intelligence advised, and the Queen's Iron Guard Jorah agreed to leave, and he immediately asked Missandei to carry Daenerys on her back and leave the Red Keep through the secret passages.

......

Across the Narrow Sea.

Mill.

With the help of the Bachelor Group, Arthur is still busy with his work.

All-round development is not a matter of a few words, even if he only grasps the general direction, he still has a lot of problems to deal with when he coordinates the overall situation.

He also barely trained a group of talents at the school in Telosi.

With insufficient experience and vision, they can't do anything important for the time being, but it's not a problem to be responsible for clerical, record-keeping, and miscellaneous work.

With the cooperation of the grassroots clerks, Mill's development work has been much easier.

And.

Because the children of the freed slaves became grassroots clerks, it gave hope to all the new freedmen in Mill, so that they could devote themselves more carefully to the school run by the prince, and they were eager to get a decent job after studying!

In addition to the grassroots clerks needed by the Governor's Palace.

Students of the Telosi School majoring in craftsmen, architecture, accounting, law, etc., also got jobs in Mill.

Everything is in order.

It's just that Mill's original freedmen were very uncomfortable with the slave's children becoming grassroots clerks, architects, designers, accountants, lawyers, and other talents.

Fortunately, Arthur locked up all the nobles and wealthy merchants in Mill, otherwise they would have launched more rebellions and riots.

Emancipation of slaves.

The aristocracy and the wealthy merchants only lost a little bit of wealth.

Teaching slaves to become lawyers, accountants, architects, government clerks, and other high-end talents immediately led to the loss of the ruling position of the aristocracy and wealthy merchants!

Nine free trade city-states, all of which were upper-class people of aristocrats and wealthy merchants.

Arthur's trial and murder of slave owners and slave traders is barely serious, but the practice of imprisoning nobles and wealthy merchants for no reason, and supporting slaves to teach knowledge, has shaken the ruling authority of all free trade city-states for thousands of years!

The remaining seven free trade city-states.

Pantos, Braavos, Reese, Cohor, Norvers, Valantis, Rollas, all the nobles, merchants, and freedmen began to hate Arthur!

I can't even wait to cut him with a thousand knives!

Even if it is an iron vault that conducts sea trade transactions with Mill and Telosi and obtains huge profits.

I don't want the prince to continue to live and free the slaves!

But they rule the system with interests.

Although the economy is strong, the military strength does not pose any threat to Arthur......

Under Arthur's rule, Mill developed in all respects.

Not counting the two allies of the Iron Islands and Dorne.

On the military side, six new 3rd sail battleships have been launched, Lancelot has trained 500 heavy cavalry, Tristan has trained 3,000 crossbowmen who specialize in defending the city, an artillery regiment with 200 iron cannons has been formed, and the strength of the musket regiment has been expanded to 2,300 men!

The combined number of engineers, orderlies, and mercenaries is over six thousand!

The remaining seven free trade city-states have all fought, and Arthur is confident that he will defeat them all!

Of course, with the current military strength, they have no problem holding Mill, but it is not enough to send troops to attack others.

If Arthur does not want learned musketeers.

The logistics and ammunition can keep up, and it is not difficult to train all soldiers to use muskets and push Essos sideways!

Unable to defeat the three princes of Holy Lorrain, who occupied Mill, the Iron Vault and the seven free trade city-states decisively chose intrigues and tricks.

But......

Arthur has great power.

He is surrounded by transcendents, powerful spellcasters who master magic, and priests and priests who master magic.

And there's a new Vanessa, a former Faceless One!

Assassinate?

The assassination of the Faceless and the Regretful Guest is simply a food delivery for Arthur!

It's also death for knights and spellcasters!

As for poisoning food?

There's Vanessa, who has trained as Faceless, PhDs, Bachelors, Mages, and Sand Snakes who are familiar with all known poisons and poisons, and Arthur has also developed healing techniques!

Poisoning can also be solved!

Sending spies to Mill to cause trouble?

In terms of intelligence, it is indeed Arthur's weak point, but Vanessa is extraordinary, and it takes a while to identify them one by one!

Mill has been run into a bucket!

"Your Highness, the remnants of Telosi and Mill in the Troubled Lands threw themselves into Rees a month ago, and asked Rees to send troops into the Discord Lands. ”

As the sun rose, Arthur was in the chamber of the Doge's Palace, starting a new day's work.

Listening to Selena's report, Arthur frowned: "This is the news from a month ago?"

The mercenary who took over as sheriff nodded: "Yes, Reese's army may have entered the land of strife now." ”

Without an intelligence agency, let alone an informant or spy to trust, Mill was unable to obtain the most important first-hand information.

The only way to get information is to ask merchants and mercenaries in taverns, women's wards, or somewhere.

"Doctors, bachelors, do you have any opinions?"

Turning his head, Arthur looked at Dr. Ryan and the others.

Knowing how strong his military strength is, Dr. Ryan said indifferently: "Your Highness, we just need to strengthen the city defense as usual." ”

"Developing Mill is more important than war. ”

In fact, with every day being so busy that he doesn't even have much time to rest, let alone time to study magic and holy light, Arthur is now a little tired of dealing with government affairs.

"What if I want to be proactive?"

Dr. Ryan frowned, "Then we must leave more than half of our troops in Mill." ”

"And His Highness can't leave. ”

“......”

Arthur thought for a moment and said, "I think Mill's development is on the right track and he can expand into the Land of Strife. ”

"I agree with Your Highness's thoughts. Dr. Ryan nodded, "But...... After taking the land of strife, who will govern it?"

Obtained grass-roots clerks, but there are no middle-level managers, and high-level officials are only Arthur's team and doctors, bachelors, and they are really too busy to be busy with many hats, and they have repeatedly proposed that the prince divide the nobles and improve the rule.

Hearing this, Arthur's brows furrowed.

Because, he does not want to divide the nobility, and he does not want to divide the power to rule the people to the aristocracy!

I hope to change the feudal system of this world!

But Gawain, Lancelot, Ranmaroch and others were loyal to themselves, and they couldn't say that they would no longer divide the nobles, which chilled their hearts......

Establish an examination system.

Let the new freeman students pass the assessment with excellent grades and become the grassroots clerks that Mill lacks.

Although the knights and maesters who were loyal to him had no opinions or grievances, it was no surprise that the nobles of the Iron Islands and the nobles of Dorne were already a little dissatisfied with Arthur because they refused to bring them talents to serve him.

And the aristocracy is not stupid, they are literate.

It is very clear that the emergence of the examination system will shake the ruling power of the aristocratic class!

Even the positions of Mill's mid-level officials were vacant.

Arthur also didn't say anything about promoting junior clerks.

His actions still cause disgust among the nobility all over the world!

There was a long silence.

Arthur, who had thought about it carefully, didn't want to be the enemy of all the nobles, so he sighed helplessly, so he chose to compromise and said: "Let those who stay in Mill come to the Governor's Mansion the day after tomorrow to participate in the official selection and assessment." ”

"Selecting middle-level officials by assessment?"

When the prince finally accepted the noble children of the Iron Isles and Dorne, Dr. Ryan, who felt the dissatisfaction of the aristocracy, breathed a sigh of relief.

But he vaguely felt in his heart that the prince's move to conduct an official assessment seemed to have another deep meaning!

Arthur: "Yes, the officials will be selected by the examination, Selena, you will immediately bring someone to set up the examination room, Dr. Ryan, we will try to produce the examination questions for the examination tonight and tomorrow." ”

Dr. Ryan pondered for a moment and asked, "What if they don't pass the exam?"

"Didn't pass the assessment?"

This question made Arthur difficult again.

Brush down the unqualified, as aristocrats who have been educated since childhood, failure to pass the assessment will definitely make those nobles feel ashamed.

He is a prince, and the questions are assessed by doctors and bachelors, and they dare not have any dissatisfaction.

But it is possible to take your anger out on those grassroots clerks, and even blame the untouchables of slave origin for stealing their positions!

"Then let them go to the troops!"

...... To be continued......
