Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Having already established contact several times, and with Viserys's expedition to the Seven Kingdoms taking away the vast majority of Pentos's forces, this was naturally the best opportunity.

The ragged prince and many family representatives gathered in the prince's palace to plot the overthrow of Pentos's rule.

Prince Ragnarok secretly contacted many former members of the Windrush, offering them high rewards. Some of these people were dissatisfied because they had not received the treatment they had expected after submitting to the Targaryen family.

As their former commander, Prince Lanyi knew these people all too well. He took advantage of their discontent and greed, using the promise of great benefits and a bright future to lure them in.

Meanwhile, these governors and remnants of the nobility, who still possessed considerable wealth, secretly infiltrated Pentos by hiring numerous mercenaries and free riders.

They wanted to replicate Viserys's plan to seize the city, and even had the famous Second Sons.

'The Titan's Bastard Son' Melo was a tall man with pale green eyes and a thick, waist-length red-gold beard. He was notorious for his cruelty and tyranny, so much so that the Second Sons rarely received commissions from their employers under his command.

This time, when the remnants of the Pentos nobles found him, Merlo immediately agreed.

He wasn't afraid to face the Targaryen army; he only cared about whether the little princess who could ride dragons belonged to him. Mello wanted her to give him a son so that his descendants could also have noble blood.

The remnants of Pentos's noble faction agreed to his request without hesitation, promising to give him the princess if he could lead his Second Sons to break through the eunuchs' protection and capture Daenerys alive.

Everything went smoothly.

The ragged prince and the representatives of the various families discussed the matter for several days. This time, the ragged prince learned from his previous experience and placed his trusted confidants around him under martial law to ensure that the news would not be leaked.

Now, only three thousand Unsullied and three thousand City Guard remain in Pentos. The Unsullied guard the Nine Towers and are under the command of Princess Daenerys, while the other three thousand City Guard are under the command of the King's Hand, Jon Clinton.

The last batch of troops that set out for Westeros departed a while ago.

It was Oberyn's Second Legion, numbering over 15,000 men, who set off for Dragonstone with the pregnant Princess Arianne Martell, who should have arrived by now.

Although the number of troops in Pentos is still considerable, it is far less than the peak of 50,000. Now is the best time to retake Pentos.

Their plan still revolved around Daenerys, luring her out on patrol and ambushing her when she passed through some narrow terrain. Once Daenerys was captured alive, her powerful Unsullied soldiers and dragons would be useless.

The plan is perfect; today is the day the rebellion begins.

The gray-haired, tattered prince donned his armor again, roused himself, and walked out of the palace onto the street, where guards were preparing his horse.

Just then, a seafood vendor selling clams from a cart passed by him and suddenly pulled a dagger from under the quilt. He grabbed the vendor's shoulder and stabbed him several times through the gaps in his armor.

Puff puff--

The ragged prince stared wide-eyed, trying to grab the other person, but he grasped at nothing.

The attacker was extremely agile and fled immediately after stabbing the victim, leaving behind a series of piercing screams in the street.

Meanwhile, the city garrison soldiers patrolling nearby watched coldly as the ragged prince collapsed limply into a pool of blood.

Chapter 450 Rebellion

The ragged prince's mission was unsuccessful; he was stabbed multiple times by assassins as soon as he stepped out of his house and died on the spot.

Meanwhile, the remnants of the traditional nobles and the governor's family of Pentos, along with the Second Sons and countless mercenaries and free riders, prepared to attack Princess Daenerys, who was on an inspection tour.

The silver-haired princess wore a beautiful flower wreath on her head, and her long, silver-gold hair cascaded freely over her fair shoulders. She rode a cream-colored pony, its hooves making a crisp sound as they trod on the cobblestone pavement.

"your Highness!"

"Mother of Dragons!"

Daenerys was very popular in Pentos; wherever she went, she didn't even need to wave, and the crowds would erupt in deafening cheers.

Because everyone has heard the legendary story of a girl who slept peacefully in a fire while holding three dragon eggs.

Three dragon eggs were hatched in blood and fire. If Viserys was the true king ordained by destiny, then Daenerys was the one who made it all possible for him, the Mother of Dragons.

Therefore, people have reason to believe that Daenerys is a girl favored by the gods, a naturally noble and lucky person, and that being seen by her is a blessing.

Now, the true king Viserys has led his army on a campaign to Westeros to reclaim the Iron Throne that belongs to him, and Princess Rhaenys has also accompanied him on the expedition. Princess Daenerys is now the 'Queen' of Pentos.

As the princess was riding her pony around the city, a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd. It turned out that a huge, sky-covering figure was flying in from afar.

Viserion, the only dragon the Targaryen left in Pentos, suddenly flew from the Kingsguard outside the city to the skies above Pentos for some unknown reason. It hovered above Daenerys's head, letting out a deep roar that echoed throughout the sky.

The soldiers of the Pentos city garrison were responsible for maintaining order. They prevented the enthusiastic people of Pentos from approaching the princess, but suddenly a dragon descended from the sky, and the expressions of many soldiers and officers in the garrison changed drastically.

"Oops!"

"Why would a dragon suddenly come here?"

They suddenly sensed something was terribly wrong. The dragon usually rested in the Royal Forest outside the city and would never come to Pentos unless it had nothing to do. If it suddenly came to Pentos, it meant something was about to happen…

Before they could react, Melo, the leader of the Second Sons, 'the bastard son of the Titans', who was hidden in the crowd, suddenly roared and pounced on Daenerys, who was surrounded and protected by the Unsullied.

He also sensed that something was wrong.

Daenerys brought three times more Unsullied soldiers with her on this patrol than usual, and the defenses were extremely tight, with shields protecting her left and right flanks to prevent crossbow bolts from hitting her from the shadows.

The sudden appearance of the dragon from the sky further fueled his deep-seated unease, turning it into restlessness.

Melo decided to deviate from the plan and strike first. Without waiting for any signals from the others, he rushed towards Daenerys alone, hoping to capture the girl as a hostage.

A tall, burly man with a thick beard that reached his waist pulled out an axe from somewhere.

"Go to hell!"

He swung his axe at a city garrison soldier responsible for maintaining order, nearly severing the man's head with a single blow. Blood splattered, and the body fell to the ground.

Melo's sudden move seemed to be a signal, and the members of the Second Sons Group drew their swords and rushed towards the guards in the center.

"kill!"

The remaining mercenaries and free riders, who had been bought off by the remnants of the Pentos governor's family, also followed suit.

"kill!"

In an instant, shouts of killing filled the narrow streets of Pentos.

Although the Unsullied Legion's commander-in-chief, Black Worm, had left, the remaining two thousand Unsullied had elected a deputy commander-in-chief, codenamed 'Sun'.

After the Unsullied joined the Targaryen army, Viserys abolished the rule that they would be randomly assigned a name each day, allowing them to choose a name freely.

Like the Black Bug, 'Sun' had three long spikes on his helmet, with the middle spike being particularly long, though slightly shorter than the Black Bug's, symbolizing his status within the Unsullied Legion.

He was also wearing the new black dragon scale armor, his dark face and eyes swept across the chaotic battlefield, and then he shouted commands.

"Everyone, form ranks!"

"Protect Her Highness's safety!"

The Unsullied army remained calm in the face of the sudden situation, forming a circle to protect Daenerys, raising their shields and spears.

The silver-haired princess herself was invited into a specially made carriage.

"Your Highness, please rest for a moment."

"We will kill all these thugs soon."

"The Sun" personally helped Daenerys onto the specially made carriage at the back of the inspection team, and then spoke with a murderous aura.

This carriage was made by Tob Moso, the craftsman minister of Pentos, who was present at the royal council before Viserys' departure.

The carriage looked unremarkable, except for the Targaryen family crest, which gave it a sturdy and heavy appearance.

However, the interior of the carriage was reinforced with layers of steel armor, making it impervious to ordinary arrows and crossbow bolts. It even had some buffering capacity against giant crossbows, making it virtually impregnable.

However, due to the reinforced defenses, the weight has increased, and the wheels and bearings are specially customized, requiring four horses to pull it.

The interior of the carriage, however, was not at all like its rugged exterior; on the contrary, it was very comfortable.

The floor is covered with discontinued Mir handmade carpets, along with soft feather cushions and velvet seat cushions, and silk curtains—the most luxurious of all. Today, it is the exclusive vehicle for members of the Targaryen royal family.

"Well, hard work."

Daenerys sat in the specially made carriage, her pretty little face tense as she nodded slightly.

She appeared very calm, but the girl's palms were sweaty.

Daenerys was very nervous, as this was the first time she had witnessed such a scene.

But the girl had a strong personality and didn't want to lose to Renis, so she appeared very calm on the surface, but was actually extremely nervous inside.

Shouts of battle erupted outside, and the onlookers scattered and fled.

Daenerys was perfectly safe inside the carriage. The rebels, the Second Sons, and the mercenaries kept attacking the Unsullied's formation, but the Unsullied soldiers remained as solid as a rock in the sea, unmoved by the raging storm.

Then, accompanied by the roar of the white dragon Viserion, it approached the ground.

The surging dragon flames illuminated the curtains inside the carriage, and the mercenaries of the Second Sons Group let out shrill screams.

Chapter 451 Closing the Net

"That damn bitch dared to plot against me!"

"The bastard son of the Titans," Melo roared, panting heavily, his body covered in blood.

He wasn't stupid either; by now he had realized that Daenerys might have already sensed the danger and received advance intelligence about the rebellion.

Therefore, they deliberately set a trap, waiting for them to fall into it, and then captured them all.

"Go to hell!"

"Go to hell!"

A burly man with a reddish-gold beard, broad shoulders, and a body covered in blood brandished an axe, hacking and slashing left and right, trying to carve a bloody path through the enemy lines.

However, he underestimated the strength of the eunuchs, and he was surrounded by several Unsullied soldiers holding sturdy shields.

"drink!"

"drink!"

bang bang—

Melo's axe cleaved the shield, making him appear like a beast trapped in a cage.

"Caught alive!"

Then he was pierced by the spears of the Unsullied soldiers, turned into a bloody mess, fell to the ground, captured alive, and dragged away like a dead pig.

The leader of the Second Sons had fallen, and the rest of the mercenaries were like ants trying to shake a tree. The Unsullied soldiers were far more elite than these rabble, especially in large-scale battles.

The battle between the world's number one legion and this group of scattered mercenaries was almost a one-sided affair, resulting in the mercenaries either dying or fleeing.

The remnants of the ancient nobles and governor's family of Pentos who organized and planned this operation were terrified when they witnessed this scene.
