"My Lord, as you expected, the other party didn''t expect us to come so fast. It can almost be said that we would collapse. Do you want to clean them out of the city immediately?" Blanco asked in a low voice.


    Although he tried to hide his greed, the eyes floating towards the booty betrayed his inner thoughts.


    You know, the old town is the richest and most prosperous city in Westeros. Countless pirates, mercenaries and even nobles are eager to shoot hard here one day.


    At present, the old town is like a girl who has been drugged and undressed. She has shown her most attractive side. Now she can not only make a good fortune, but also have a perfect target for planting guys afterwards. Therefore, many people in the team are beginning to be a little stupid and ready to move, even those young nobles who join temporarily.


    After all, they did not directly plunder the local businessmen and civilians, but the booty obtained from the iron people. According to the established rules, even if the owner wanted to take it back, he had to pay a ransom of at least 60% of the original price, which the haitar family could not change.


    Driven by the huge interests within reach, few people can really keep calm and rational. If it were not for the deterrence of the dragon flying and spewing hot flames in the sky, the soldiers would have rushed into the streets and alleys to catch up with the enemies carrying a lot of money.


    In fact, under the feudal system, military discipline almost does not exist. The only thing that can restrain knights and nobles is power, power and wealth.


    Feeling the strong desire revealed in those eyes, Zhang Cheng suddenly realized that the army he led was essentially no different from the residents of the iron islands who made a living by robbery.


    These people have neither moral constraints nor a life goal to fight for. They are only driven by their own desires. Therefore, the armies of the whole Westeros, from Kings and nobles to pirates and mountain bandits, will rob and rape whenever they have the opportunity, even if they are like Stannis and Landau Tali, who are very strict with military discipline, Nor can it prevent the occurrence of similar situations.


    After thinking about this, he tilted his mouth slightly, scanned everyone around him with pondering eyes, and finally said in a slightly abusive tone: "I know what you are thinking and understand your desire for wealth, but what I want to tell you is that once something is done, it means you can never turn back. Are you sure you want to take the stolen wealth as your own at the risk of hatred and revenge by the Hatal family?"


    "No! Of course not! Under your leadership, we are not afraid." Blanco knelt on one knee without any hesitation. Warren immediately knelt down and kissed the seal ring in front of everyone.


    This seemingly insignificant behavior means that honeycomb has betrayed hetal, and it also means the rise of a new political force in the river bend area.


    With the first crab eater, the remaining nobles also scrambled to re select their camp. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Cheng gained the loyalty of 13 nobles, large and small.


    Although this loyalty is quite cheap and unreliable, it''s a good start anyway.


    He knows very well that according to the actual situation of Westeros, there are not so many talents who can form a huge bureaucracy to completely replace the extremely backward aristocratic feudal system. Therefore, with the expansion of the sphere of influence, he is bound to follow the example of the conqueror AEGON to accept some aristocrats in order to maintain the most basic rule.


    Moreover, the ultimate goal of his participation in the power game is not to build a huge empire, but to learn how to control power and how to deal with conspiracies.


    You should know that more than 90% of the known magic world adopts aristocratic feudal system. Now if you lay a good foundation, you can save a lot of energy and invest in collecting and learning magic knowledge in the future.


    With the loyalty of the nobles, the last destabilizing factor was eliminated. Zhang Cheng quickly ordered the troops to be divided into two routes, one led by Viscount Warren bisbury to clean up the remaining iron people in the city, and the other led by him to rush to the location of the towering tower.


    With the air support of Kulo kelba, all the unlucky people trying to resist will turn into charred corpses in the hot dragon flame.


    In less than half an hour, the "reinforcements" crossed most of the city and encountered viktalion, who was trying to stop his men from fleeing.


    This tall man can''t see his previous high spirits at the moment. He keeps yelling at his throat, but his efforts can''t help after all.


    After all, this large fleet has not only the residents of the iron islands, but also a large number of Pirates recruited by euren grejoy.


    Maybe at ordinary times, viktalion can use the power of iron people to suppress less peaceful pirates.


    But when the rout happened, the unrestrained pirates immediately exposed their nature, and some even began to kill each other, because the other side blocked their retreat route.


    They don''t understand that a dragon, a giant beast that can soar freely in the sky, can''t escape death even if they return to the ship
