Chapter 362, LeBlanc Fett
Possess absolute superiority in force, remove all threats and obstacles in a short time, forcibly suppress all Terosi to obey orders, and arrange for the freed slaves to carry out orderly work.
Even if there are hidden dangers in the city of Telosi, there are still hidden dangers.
There are soldiers and horses stationed, the iron fleet is blocking the sea area, and they dare to take the lead to kill themselves!
Arthur really didn't want to kill more, but the Iron Islanders with their pirate nature would not talk about mercy, so in the city of Telosi, the nobles and merchants who dared to organize soldiers and mercenaries to resist began to grow grass on their graves!
Cities that have opened their ports are back to their former prosperity.
Ignore the undercurrents that may be surging.
Arthur, who had experienced several wars in Westeros and had rich experience in logistics management, relied on the insight of his previous life to handle all kinds of civil governance and internal affairs issues with ease, and with his tongue, Annie, Gawain, Lancelot, Ambrosius and others did their best to complete it according to the instructions.
The factory was being built and produced at the same time, with Natalie, Dr. Ryan and others staring at the smooth progress.
Now, in addition to dealing with various affairs and climbing the science tree, Arthur's most important thing is to cultivate talents, and whenever he has time, he will go to the school converted from a noble mansion and a wealthy merchant residence to teach students.
After all, most students were born pauper-like or slave-born.
Adjunct professors' bachelors, specially hired scholars to teach them well, not as easy as teaching the children of the nobility.
After lunch, after compiling the initiation and basic textbooks, Arthur, who had time to experiment with teaching, taught the students as usual.
But not long after the lecture began, he was disturbed by Gao Wen, who came in a hurry.
"Your Highness, we have captured the Lord of Telosi. ”
"Maharaja Telosi?" Hearing the knight's report, Arthur, who stopped teaching for the students, was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, handed over the teaching task to the specially recruited teacher and left the school.
In troubled times, it should be re-enacted.
Arthur did not dare to be too merciful in dealing with the rebellion of the Talosi people, and usually left the help of Asha Greyjoy and Nemeria to deal with the rebellion of the Taylors.
"Have you started interrogation?"
"Maharaja Talosi contacted the merchant ships to escape, and Queen Asha Greyjoy launched a search on the docks, and I handed them over to Lord Nemeria for questioning, and he had almost confessed. Gao Wen said.
Arthur: "Tell me. ”
Gawain hurriedly said: "Of the seventeen rebellions that took place in the city, the Lord of Telosi admitted that he personally led four of the rebellions, and the idea of having the Shadowbinder assassinate him was also proposed by him. ”
Arthur: "Do you know the masterminds behind the Eleventh Rebellion?"
"Knowing three people. Gawain nodded, "They are all imprisoned nobles, and Lord Namelia has already brought them up for interrogation. ”
"Three people?" Arthur frowned when he heard this.
Gao Wen said: "Yes, the three of them planned two mercenaries to create chaos in the city, three times organized the scattered soldiers to attack the administrative hall, and twice hired mercenaries to save people. ”
"And the remaining six?"
"Your Highness, don't forget the slave owners and slave traders we executed. Gawain reminded, "Those six times all happened during arrests and public trials. ”
"My guess was the executed slave owners and slave traders who planned it. ”
"Don't jump to conclusions. Arthur, accustomed to caution, shook his head, "For the Telosi, we are invaders after all. ”
Gawain: "No, Your Highness is the Conqueror!"
Not long after returning to the administrative center of Telosi, Arthur, who saw Nymeria, did not have time to understand the interrogation, and the Drowning Priest Eren Greyjoy found the busy prince.
"Your Highness, we're in trouble. ”
"There are also believers of three gods in the city of Telosi who want to prevent us from erecting the statue of the drowning god. ”
Helping the drowning gods spread their faith was the most important condition for Arthur to gain support from the Iron Islands.
Hearing this, Ambrosius, Nymeria, and Gawain all looked at the prince, wanting to deal with the troublemakers immediately.
Arthur groaned and asked, "What does Pastor Ellen want to do?"
"Drowning God needs to calm his anger. Wet hair said in a deep voice.
Arthur: "Execution?"
Wet-haired Irren said: "Drown!"
After thinking about it, Arthur, who was full of hesitation, asked again: "Are there many believers in the three gods?"
"Many, thousands of people stopped us," Iren said. ”
"Are all Telosi people?" Arthur frowned, "Although we now control the city-state of Telosi, such control is only temporary, and there are many hidden dangers.
Moreover, the Stone Steps and the disputed lands still have the power of the Talossi, and even if the Iron Fleet blocks the seas, they must have other ways to get the news here. ”
"I don't want to kill too many people and cause panic. ”
"Once the Terosi army in the Stonesteps and the Disputed Lands attack, I fear that the Talosi will be forced to cause chaos in the city. ”
"After all, we are outsiders, invaders, and it is not enough to have the support of the freed slaves. ”
Hearing the prince's words, Yi Lun nodded understandingly: "I understand His Highness's worries. ”
"But the majesty of the drowning god cannot be violated!"
Knowing that the priest would not let go of the troublemakers of the Talosi, Arthur sighed and proposed, "How about executing the leader and then driving the congregation to a labor camp?"
"Yes, but they're going to use it to build the Temple of the Drowning God. ”
A few words decided the lives of thousands of people, and looking at the departing Drowning Priest, Arthur, who was full of helplessness, was still very unaccustomed to it.
Seeing this, Namelia, who knew the prince, shook her head and chuckled: "Your Highness, let's continue to talk about the question of the Tylosi Maharaja, after my interrogation, the identities of the three Telosi nobles have been determined......"
Listen to the female sand snake report.
Arthur pondered for a moment, then said, "They are not like slave owners and slave traders whom the slaves hate, and the public execution may cause more dissatisfaction among the Talosi people." ”
Ambrosius, who was the advisor, said, "Your Highness, it is better to execute them in secret." ”
"No, confiscate the property, and send them to Mill. Arthur said.
"What?"
The prince wants to let the tiger return to the mountain.
Ambrosius, Namelia, and Gawain were both surprised and speechless.
Old Wizard: "Why did you send them to Mill?"
Arthur didn't answer and asked, "The Terosi of the Stone Steps Islands and the Disputed Lands will definitely fight back, right?"
"This is the roots of the Telosi people. The old wizard nodded, "We invade and occupy their homes, and rob them of their property and wealth, and those who kill them, they will definitely fight back." ”
Arthur said solemnly: "So I want to defeat them head-on on the battlefield." ”
With the power and magic of the Light and the Transcendent under their command, a ship like the Mir, and the support of the Iron Islands, they should show everyone that they are intimidating to all sides, and they don't need to play any tricks.
Moreover, only to destroy the military power of the Terosi in the Stone Steps and the Disputed Lands.
in order to suppress all disobedience and undercurrents.
Without the cooperation of the Terosi people, relying on the liberated slaves alone, playing the hand of co-opting and suppressing in Telosi would not be of much use at all.
The nobles who were offered by Gawain were arraigned by the Maharaja of Telosi.
Having seen waterboarding and the little black room, and with the prince's promise to let them leave Telosi, the three of them quickly explained who the conspirators were, how to contact the mercenaries, soldiers, and the money they secretly hidden.
The people of Telosi were in good order.
There are no problems in the internal affairs, and the economy will soon recover with the opening of ports.
However, the military aspect.
In the eyes of the Talosi, Arthur had no military force other than the pirates of the Iron Isles, a group of less than 300 Dorne guards, and a guard of more than 100 people.
There are no mercenaries recruited in cities full of mercenaries.
Didn't let the Iron Islanders expand their army!
Telosi experienced the Rebellion of the Nine Bronze Kings, and it took the people of Telosi six years to finally overthrow the rule of the invaders.
This time, they thought it would be shorter!
Dealing with affairs, climbing the tech tree, supervising the factory, inspecting the school, in Arthur's busyness, Telosi is calm.
Three months flew by.
Summer has arrived.
The blockade of the Iron Fleet in the waters of Telosi could not be concealed from everyone after all, and the city-states of Mill, Rees, Pantos, Braavos and other city-states were full of vigilance about the pirates from the Sunset Country and the Iron Islands.
The forces of Telosi in the Stone Steps and the Disputed Lands are ready to reclaim the city-state.
Battleship, march towards Telosi!
Spotting the ships of the Telosians, the Iron Fleet commanded by Asha Greyjoy did not meet the attack immediately, but slowly retreated at Arthur's orders.
This undoubtedly gave the people of Telosi great confidence when they saw this,
They thought that the fearless pirates were afraid of their military strength and turned to flee, and they all felt that victory was just around the corner!
Arthur is in the city of Telosi.
Didn't go with the Iron Fleet and the Mir.
Moreover, the 3rd class sail battleship Mir was given full command of Ranmaroke, as long as he cooperated with the Iron Fleet and launched an attack at a critical time.
The fleet of the Terosi was overwhelming, and soon they saw the coastline of the island where the city-state of Terosi was located.
Fight back to the port, and they will be able to drive away the invaders who have occupied their homeland!
However.
There are no transcendents, no spellcasters.
An army of mercenaries is formed.
Having never seen the power of the Drowned Priest's control of the sea, the Tyrosians had no idea that they had fallen into the trap of Arthur's calculations.
When the warships of the Talosi sailed out of the harbor.
Sending a signal to the hidden resistance forces in the city, asking them to cooperate with the fleet to complete the task of combining the inside and outside, the Iron Islands fleet hidden in the open sea came in the blink of an eye.
On top of the ten-meter waves.
Surround all the ships of the Talosi!
"What's going on?!"
"Damn... We were careless......"
"No, it's the Drowning Priest of those Iron Isle pirates!"
"We're done......"
On the Black Wind held up by the Great Wave, Asha Greyjoy looked at the fleet of the Telosi and sneered, not in a hurry to attack, nor did he let the priest directly control the Great Wave to destroy them.
Instead, he looked at Ranmaroke on the bow of the Mir next to him.
"Would you like to try the power of His Highness Arthur's carefully crafted battleship?"
Hearing the words of the Pirate Queen, Ranmaroke, who was instructed by the prince to learn how to command the battle of warships, immediately looked at the many gunners on the ship.
"Are our artillery ready?"
"My lord, we have everything ready, only your orders!"
Hearing this, Ranmarok, who had seen the power of artillery in the Battle of Winter, suddenly became enthusiastic, drew his sword and raised it high, and roared loudly: "Open the cannon!"
"Boom Boom Boom ~ !!"
The 3rd class sail battleship was armed with seventy guns!
With the heavy cannonball fired, the roar of the bronze cannon shook the sky!
The encircled Terosi warships were shot one after another, the timber of the hull flew sideways, and in the blink of an eye, the missing cannonballs caused the water column to rise, and the roar accompanied by the splash caused them to panic and confusion.
Victory in naval battles.
For Ranmarok and Asha, it's a matter of course!
The other side.
The city of Telosi.
Receiving the signal from the fleet, the hidden resistance forces raised their flags and took to the streets, holding their swords in high spirits and rushing towards the castle occupied by the invaders.
Knowing that the enemy fleet was menacing, how could Arthur not be wary of a rebellion in the city of Telosi?
Annie, Selena, Nymeria, Gawain, Lancelot, and Tristan had been waiting for a long time in the castle, which was the administrative center of Telosi, with their soldiers.
There is no transcendent being.
The rebels in the city are just a joke.
As the Dinghai Divine Needle, the prince didn't need to take action in person, Gawain, Lancelot, and Tristan organized a cavalry to rush and kill, hiding the long-standing resistance in Telosi City, and suddenly turned into a routed chaotic army!
Weak chickens only.
Also trying to shake the giants?
Lancelot wields the indestructible light of the lake, unleashes his extraordinary power and slashes through the air with his sword, instantly eliminating several leaders who command the rebels.
Gao Wen, who rode his horse and charged, slashed in turn, and more than ten or twenty people died under the sword qi.
Tristan's arrows flew without a trace, and the rebels were defeated without any need for Anne, Selena, and Nemelia to make a move.
In the administrative center of Telosi.
The Assassins, Wizards, and Witches, who were hired for a lot of money, entered the castle and caught Gianna and Ambrosius.
For Arthur.
Eliminating these Telosi rebels is boringly simple.
However, the other forces hidden in the rebels, who have seen the powerful force of Gawain, Lancelot and other transcendents, have determined the terrifying magic of the Iron Isles priest, and will definitely not take Arthur's forces lightly again.
The three city-states closest to Telosi, Mir, Rees, and Pantos, after receiving the information, began to recruit transcendents.
Prepare for the Three Princes of the Sunset Realm to free slaves in their cities.
Requests for apologies have been received.
Mill, who was blockaded by the Iron Fleet, did not hesitate to send an envoy to admit the mistake of chasing and killing Saint Loran and apologize after Arthur and others put down the rebellion, and paid 5,000 gold dragons for compensation.
"Five thousand golden dragons?"
"Do you think you're calling Hanako?"
After taking care of the aftermath of the rebellion, Telosi was thriving again.
Looking at the messenger from Mill, Arthur was expressionless, standing beside the prince Annie, Selena, Gianna, Ambrosius, Namelia, Asha, Gawain and others sneered.
"Five thousand golden dragons, I won't be too little. ”
After receiving Mill's apology and confession, Arthur didn't intend to embarrass them too much, shook his head and said magnanimously: "But I have one condition, accept this condition, and I will forgive Mill for chasing and killing our family." ”
The messenger who heard this was overjoyed: "Prince, please speak." ”
Arthur smiled, "Abolish slavery." ”
"What?" the messenger who heard the words was stunned.
Seeing that the envoy did not immediately agree to the conditions, Arthur was a little disappointed: "You can go back and discuss with someone." ”
Looking at the powerful transcendents beside the prince, the Mill envoy swallowed his saliva and said worriedly, "That... His Highness Arthur Saint Laurain... We Mill... Slavery will not be abolished......"
"Do not agree to the conditions for the abolition of slavery?"
Asha Greyjoy and Nymeria glanced at each other and smiled happily: "Then you should go back immediately and let Mill prepare for the war." ”
...... To be continued......
