Chapter 116 Brienne's Sudden Arrival

People in the city looked at the giant dragon hovering in the air and swooping down from time to time in horror. They hid in their homes, closed their doors and windows, and trembled uncontrollably. Children were hugged tightly in their mothers' arms, their clothes soaked with tears. The old people prayed silently in the corner, praying that the disaster would end soon.

The smoke of the battle filled every corner of the city, and the blood dyed the streets red. The footsteps and shouts of the soldiers, intertwined with the groans of the wounded, formed a hellish scene.

This fierce battle lasted until noon of the second day before it finally came to an end. Almost all the mercenaries who participated in the riots in the city were killed, and their bodies lay on the ground in all directions. The blood gathered into a stream, reflecting a frightening light in the sun. The houses on both sides of the street were dilapidated, and some were still emitting wisps of green smoke. The once prosperous city of Rees is now dead silent, as if it has lost its soul.

Gavin's army began to clean up the battlefield in an orderly manner. Carts loaded with food were slowly transported into the city, and the heavy wheels left deep marks on the stone road.

Soldiers conveyed Gavin's orders from house to house, and the loud voice echoed in the streets and alleys: "As long as you are responsible for cleaning up the corpses and ruins, you can get food!"

Under the extremely tempting attraction of food, the Rees civilians who had previously kept their doors closed and were full of fear finally mustered up their courage and began to carefully go to the streets to help clean up the corpses with trembling but full of expectation.

Soldiers set up checkpoints at various intersections to maintain order. They stood tall like pine trees, with sharp and vigilant eyes, ensuring that the entire situation was under firm control.

In the Governor's Square, which was once glorious but had long been reduced to ashes in the turmoil, countless gold and silver treasures were piled up into an eye-catching hill, shining with dazzling and dazzling light under the bright sunshine.

After a thrilling turmoil, the governors and wealthy merchants of Lys were all destroyed like the falling of bright stars, and disappeared in the torrent of history. Those mercenaries who tried to seize their wealth and were greedy were also eliminated by Gavin. Those ill-gotten gains that were once stained with blood and sin, after going around in circles, finally gathered here and piled up like a mountain.

People passing by looked at the piles of treasures, with both amazement at the wealth and sighs for the previous turmoil.

Gavin stood on a high place, overlooking all this, thinking about how to rebuild this devastated city and make it revitalized. Next, he had to control many towns and villages controlled by Lys, and face the reactions of Tyrosh and Myr. I am afraid that he would have to stay in Lys for a short time.

Stone Steps Archipelago - Bloodstone Island

In the magnificent city lord's mansion, the monthly civilian petition was being carried out. Daenerys sat on the high seat, her posture was straight, her eyes were majestic and solemn.

Viserion lay quietly at her feet, occasionally flapping his wings lazily. Maester Qyburn and Governor Boris sat beside him, taking notes and giving Daenerys some advice from time to time.

An old man in ragged clothes stepped forward first. He bowed deeply and said in a trembling voice: "My dear lady, my fishing boat was completely destroyed in a storm during a sea voyage. Now I have lost my livelihood and my family is starving. I beg you to lend me a fishing boat so that I can go out to sea to fish again and support my family."

Daenerys nodded slightly and said: "Old man, I deeply sympathize with your plight. I will order people to build a new fishing boat for you as soon as possible so that you can support your family's hope again. You can repay the new fishing boat to the territory in five years."

Then, a haggard woman cried with tears: "My lady, my husband was injured while working for the lord and is now bedridden and unable to work. I am really unable to bear the expenses of the family and the tuition of my children. I beg you to give me a Some relief to help us through this difficult time. "

Daenerys showed pity in her eyes and responded: "Poor woman, I will arrange for a doctor to treat your husband, and will also send some supplies and money to help you through the difficult times."

Then, a young blacksmith hurried forward and said anxiously: "Madam, thieves have been frequently appearing in the West City District where I live recently. They stole the farm tools that I worked hard to make in my shop and injured my partners. I implore you to strengthen public security, catch these thieves, and take back my property. "

Daenerys looked serious and said decisively: "Don't worry, I will send more soldiers to strengthen patrols, and make sure to arrest these thieves and bring you and everyone to a peaceful and peaceful life. "

Just as the petition was about to end, a tall figure wearing a hood slowly moved forward. He gently lifted the hood, and it was Brienne of Tarth whom Daenerys had met before.

Seeing the newcomer, Daenerys could not help but be surprised, with a bit of surprise in her eyes, and said: "Miss Brienne, we meet again. I wonder why you came to the Stepstones this time?"

Brienne respectfully made a standard salute, and said sincerely and sincerely: "Your Highness, I am here to ask for your forgiveness. I was deceived before and misunderstood you. Now thinking back, I feel extremely ashamed and regretful for my ignorance and prejudice."

Daenerys smiled slightly, her smile full of tolerance and generosity, and said slowly: "It doesn't matter, Miss Brienne, I believe the news from Braavos has also spread. There are some things that you don't know about and have been usurped. Since you have come to the Stone Steps Islands, I will naturally do my best to be a landlord and stay here as a guest during this time."

Brienne's eyes flashed with gratitude, and she hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your warm reception. I won't bother you much during this time."

Daenerys then ordered the attendants to carefully arrange comfortable accommodation for Brienne. Maester Qyburn looked at Brienne's leaving figure with a worried look on her face, and hurriedly said to Daenerys: "Madam, you need to be careful. The Tarth family has always been loyal to the usurper. I'm worried that she may be here in disguise. He is a visitor, but he is actually an assassin who comes to kill you.”

Daenerys' eyes were firm, like bright stars, and she said: "I have had contact with her before. I believe she is not an assassin sent by the usurper. Her character is far beyond that of the hypocritical usurper."

Maester Qyburn looked worried, frowned, and said, "That being said, Lord Gavin gave many instructions before he left, asking us to ensure your safety. Please allow me to send someone to keep an eye on Brienne. Please be sure not to leave the protection of the Blood Dragon Guard when traveling."

Daenerys frowned slightly and fell into thinking for a moment, then said: "Okay, then I will act according to your arrangements. I will be careful and pay attention. Thank you for your concern, Bachelor Qiben."
