Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord.

Chapter 114 Chaos of Reese 2
Seeing this scene, Byron Heywood knew that the situation was hopeless and that he would lose everything. The huge wealth he had accumulated for half his life would be ruthlessly taken away, his many lovers would throw themselves into the arms of others without hesitation, and even his offspring might be killed with him. Despair and fear were like two ruthless hands, tightly strangling his throat and making him completely lose his mind.

Since he was destined to lose everything, he didn't mind dragging everyone down with him.

While the voting was not over yet, he immediately turned around and hurried towards the door. For a moment, no one in the parliament hall reacted, and no one tried to stop him.

After Byron Heywood suddenly opened the door, he shouted at the top of his lungs to the Unsullied guards who were waiting outside the door: "Secure everyone in here! Anyone who dares to move will be killed without mercy!" The Unsullied acted upon hearing the order, drew out their gleaming weapons, rushed into the hall like a tide, and surrounded the congressmen tightly.

The congressmen looked at Byron Heywood in horror, their eyes full of disbelief, as if they had seen a completely unfamiliar demon. The hall suddenly fell into a deathly silence, as if even the air had frozen.

Byron Heywood ignored the panicked people in the parliament hall and quickly called his confidants to order anxiously: "Search those councillors for the whips that control the Unsullied, and take people to raid their mansions. Anyone who resists will be killed. Post a notice in the city that I will hire all the mercenaries to join the war at double the price."

His confidant listened to this crazy order in a daze, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe his ears for a moment. It was not until he was severely whipped by Byron Haywood that he woke up from his dream and hurriedly took the order to make arrangements.

At this time on the Belleris, Hassan was reporting the carefully counted casualties to Gavin with a serious expression.

"Sir, in yesterday's battle, more than 27 soldiers of our fleet were killed and nearly 23 were injured. Five warships were unfortunately sunk, and two were severely damaged. Fortunately, the warships were successfully towed to Yege Island and should be able to be put into use after repair. In addition, we successfully sank enemy ships and captured warships, but the damage of these warships varied, and most of them were longships, so not many could be put into use immediately. In addition, we also captured more than Rees navy prisoners, and I have properly placed these prisoners on Yege Island."

Gavin nodded slightly after hearing this. He brought most of the forces of the Stone Steps Islands with him on this battle, a total of sixty sailing ships and more than four thousand soldiers.

Although the dragons provided great help in the naval battle, he was still quite satisfied with the loss ratio. He had always insisted on gradually replacing the fleet with sailing warships, and now it seemed to be the right decision. After successfully capturing Rees, he must continue to vigorously promote the renewal of the fleet. Only in this way can he have absolute control of the sea.

Gavin's face was calm, and he said slowly: "First, properly arrange for the wounded. We will not carry out landing operations for the time being, as the casualties would be too great. Let the fleet surround Rees tightly, and it won't be long before the city will be short of food. We will take action after the chaos in the city. By the way, has the envoy who persuaded him to surrender returned?"

Hassan responded immediately, "Not yet, sir. I'm looking for help from Alec, with whom we have done business before, but I don't think there is much hope. Byron Heywood won't surrender so easily."

Gavin also smiled and said, "I didn't have much hope for surrender. After all, the conditions we offered were too harsh. As long as Byron Heywood didn't want to die, he would never surrender. My goal is to cause divisions among them. By then, Rees will inevitably fall into civil strife, which will make them consume each other's strength. No matter who wins in the end, it will be a good thing for us, and it will be much easier for us when we attack the city." With the large-scale mobilization of troops in Rees, people in the streets and alleys were panicked for a while, and shops closed their doors one after another, fearing that they would be caught in this sudden storm. The originally lively market became deserted, and only the footsteps of soldiers passing by occasionally broke the silence.

The army supporting Byron Heywood was like an out-of-control beast, not only looting the houses of the congressmen, but also taking the opportunity to plunder the shops of the merchants in the city. They kicked open the magnificent doors, looted all the property, killed any merchants who resisted, raped women, and trampled on people's dignity.

This atrocity provoked strong resistance from the wealthy merchants, who summoned their own guards to engage in a fierce confrontation with Byron Haywood's army. For a time, the entire city was ablaze with flames, shouts of killing, and the sound of weapons clashing.

Blood stained the streets, raging fires devoured the houses. Women and children screamed in fear and fled in search of safe corners. Soldiers from both sides fought hand-to-hand in the narrow alleys, swords flashed, and people fell every moment.

Some innocent civilians were caught up in the melee and became victims. They were either shot by stray arrows or killed by out-of-control soldiers. The once peaceful city has now turned into a hell on earth, in chaos.

The turmoil in the city had lasted for ten days. All resources had been exhausted in the battle, and food and water were in extreme shortage. Hunger and disease began to spread among the people. The wounded soldiers and innocent civilians groaned in pain, but could not get effective treatment.

The hired mercenaries had already gone mad with killing and had completely lost their minds. They no longer obeyed any orders and just burned, killed and looted in the city based on their instincts.

Byron Heywood, who had been barely controlling the city defense army, saw his control over the army drop sharply. Soldiers mutinied every day, and some even turned against him and joined the camp that was resisting him.

The streets were full of corpses, no one cleaned them up, and the stench was disgusting. The hungry people frantically searched for anything to fill their stomachs, and some even attacked the soldiers to steal food.

Most of the wells in the city have dried up, and the few remaining water sources are heavily guarded, but conflicts over water sources still occur from time to time, and each time is accompanied by blood and death.

Byron Haywood tried to reorganize the army and restore order, but his orders seemed so pale and powerless in this chaos. His confidants also began to panic, not knowing when this disaster would end.
