Chapter 29: The Visit
Krestin didn't take all of the metal soldiers.
She took only thirty metal soldiers with her, leaving twenty in Pantos. After all, in the absence of Chang Wei, she took all the troops away and caused Pantos to be empty, and if it was not suppressed, I am afraid that there would be some chaos.
With the Metal Dao Soldiers, she only needs to send a few statues to patrol the city every day, and its deterrent power can ensure that Pantos will remain stable after she has taken all her forces.
Although the new ruling body has just been established and has just been run-in, with the cooperation of the metal Dao soldiers, there will probably be no problems.
Of course, the Metal Dao Soldiers are also a force to deter and oversee the new ruling body.
In order to unify the free trade city-states, Christine made a lot of preparations. Especially in terms of the army, the 5,000 city guards not only practiced the method of Chang Weichuan, but also all of them were cavalry with one man and three horses. The war horse was naturally sent by the sea of grass.
On the first night of the march, good news came.
Christine's blitzkrieg worked wonders - when her men and horses arrived at the nearest trading city, the governor of the city barely reacted, and was caught off guard by her light horse, beheading the governor of the city in only half an hour and taking the initial capture of the city.
In the battle report, she told Chang Wei that she planned to rest for only two hours. After arresting and imprisoning all the people in power in the city, and handing over the task of tidying up the city to the government officials brought from Pantos, and leaving two metal soldiers to deter them, they will continue to march and attack the next city with a fast fight.
It's a very good tactic.
With the speed at which information is transmitted in the context of civilization at this level of the plane, as long as she is fast enough, the enemy will not be defenseless—they don't know that a city has fallen, and they don't know that Pantos has gone to war without declaring it.
In fact, even if you know, what can you do?
The new army, which has been trained for two months, has not yet completed the cultivation of the exercises taught by Chang Wei, but it is already quite hot. Most of them have been trained to the realm of casting the body, and their gestures are almost a thousand catties of strength, such an army only needs a wave of impact, and even if the commercial cities of the free trade city-states are well prepared, they cannot be stopped.
Pantos did not hide his army, and the inhabitants and merchants of the city saw it. Coupled with the one-day lockdown, the initial uncertainty, but fortunately, there were metal soldiers to deter and suppress it. And with the frequent arrival of good news, the cities were neatly laid down one after another, and the atmosphere began to change.
The merchants had a keen sense of smell and sensed that once the free trade city-states were unified, the decrees made by Pantos would be completely adopted, and at that day, they would have no choice but to do so.
However, the merchants who remained in Pantos to conduct business activities have gradually adapted in the past month or two.
On the contrary, there was a sense of schadenfreude for the merchants who abandoned Pantos.
Isn't it ridiculous that no matter how they run, they will end up back where they started? Thinking back to being ridiculed by those businessmen before, this time I can finally slap my face back.
In the following days, almost every day, the eight major cities of the free trade city-state except for Pantos were all defeated by Christine in only thirteen days.
Kristeen rose to fame.
Together with Daenerys, who conquered the sea of grass and fought the barbarians, she bowed her head and joined her, and she is known as the god of war that is rare to see in a thousand years, and she is also a female god of war!
One is 'Born of the Storm, Queen of Dragons, King of Barbarians, Conqueror of the Great Sea of Grass', and the other is 'The White Phoenix of Pantos, Lightning of Freedom, and God of Metal'.
It was at this time that the messenger of King's Landing arrived.
King's Landing – Iron Throne, Capital of the Seven Kingdoms. Robert Barassion sent his messenger.
Obviously, the Seven Kingdoms are already suffering to the extreme, and they urgently need the support of external forces. Although the free trade city-state has always been ignored by the Seven Kingdoms, it has not been able to take care of much in the current situation. As long as there are people, it can be reinforcements.
At the gates of Pantos, a small man rolled over and jumped off his horse. He looked at this commercial city, which seemed to be no different from many cities, and couldn't help but sigh: "I wanted to follow my uncles on a free trade city-state for a long time, but I didn't expect it to come true now. ”
He lifted the mask that blocked the wind and sand, revealing an ugly face.
With different colored eyes, a large protruding forehead, a messy beard, and his stubby figure, this is an extremely ugly person.
Behind them, the horse team came to a halt. A woman on horseback said, "It's not a journey, Tyrion. ”
The woman also jumped off the horse, lifted her face, and showed her beautiful face.
"Of course I know it's not traveling." The ugly Tyrion snorted and said, "But I think Miss Margaery-Tyrell you should want this to be a travel." ”
After that, he first went to the city gate.
The guards at the city gates had been watching them for a long time. This group of people, an ugly man, a beautiful woman, and a group of strong men on horses and weapons, this is not a caravan, it has a certain danger, and it is an object to be guarded against.
Tyrion walked up to the guards and calmly stroked his chest and bowed slightly, and the nobleman's bearing was overflowing: "Please convey to Tyrion Lannister, the Governor of Pantos, the Guardian of the West, the youngest son of Duke Tywin Lannister of Castle Rock City, to visit by the will of King Robert Baratheon, Lord of the Iron Throne and King of the Seven Kingdoms." ”
When the guards heard this, they were, this is a big nobleman!
He immediately did not dare to slack off, and while sending a man to the governor's castle to report the news, he invited Tyrion and his party to enter the city.
Upon entering Pantos, Tyrion made a new discovery—an interior that was very different from the rest of the city—orderly, clean, and shady. There are cars walking on the streets, people walking on both sides of the street, there is no and urine, there is no garbage, this is so novel that it explodes!
What kind of city is this?!
It's so weird!
Tyrion looked past the eye-piercing surface and saw the inner order.
In an instant, his perception of the governor of Pantos rose several levels.
A person who has handled the details of internal affairs so perfectly is definitely worthy of respect, even if he is flawed in other aspects.
He was in good spirits and gave him more hope for the visit.
Margaery, who was beside her, was surprised: "Is this Pantos?" Is... What a strange city! ”
"Indeed... It's weird..."Tyrion stared dumbfounded at the metal giants walking through the street like a mountain, and opened his mouth wide in shock.
"What is this?!"
Margaery exclaimed.
When the accompanying guards heard this, they raised their heads and said proudly: "This is the guardian of our great city lord, the invincible and invincible metal god of war!" ”
The metal god of war is the folk title for metal soldiers.
