Chapter 464 Abolition of the Sea King
In the battle under the ground, the chief swordsman, Quero Valentine, was injured several times in order to protect the sea king, and then he was captured alive. He killed many soldiers brought by Tolmo Fregar with a single sword. .
Quiro was captured alive, and the remaining advisors, Kleon and Braavos Sea King, naturally had no fighting power, and were easily caught.
Viserys rode a dragon to wreak havoc all over Braavos, and many key landmarks were severely damaged.
The head of the giant Titan representing the spiritual symbol of countless Braavos fell, the arsenal and half of the invincible fleet sank to the bottom of the sea, the Sea King's Palace collapsed, and the Black and White Court was submerged in fire.
But the Braavos people still have nothing to do with the dragon. This raid was too unexpected, and they were not prepared to deal with the dragon's attack.
Perhaps the people of Braavos never thought about how Viserys, who was separated by the narrow sea, accurately located the whereabouts of the young dragon, so they came directly to the door, and set fire to it without saying a word.
Why would it not work if they framed Volantis?
Those questions, though, may never be answered by the Braavoss.
Just like the actions taken by Tolmo Fregar, now all the governors of Braavos, the powerful families, the watchmen families, etc. in the past, the rich and silky, the nobles in fresh clothes and angry horses are now all disgraced. In the underground emergency conference hall of the Palace of Truth, they discussed how to solve the current predicament.
The founders of Braavos have painstakingly built many facilities in order to defend against possible future dragon attacks. However, they did not expect that the most useful ones were the humble underground air raid shelters when they were actually attacked by giant dragons.
The quarrel in the underground conference hall makes it difficult to reach a unified solution for the time being.
However, Viserys has only one man and one dragon. It is definitely not to capture Braavos, but a naked act of revenge, which can be seen from his destructive actions alone.
Since it's just a revenge action, there is still a possibility to resolve this matter. All the noble families in Braavos, the Iron Vault keeper family, etc. have reached an agreement on one issue.
That is, Ferrego Antarion, the current Aquaman of Braavos, will take full responsibility.
When such a big thing happened, it was natural to choose a person to be the scapegoat, and although the frail Lord Sea King did not have the surname 'Ben', he was also forced to take the blame.
It is better to die alone than to die together.
The Antarion family is one of the top noble families in Braavos. Their family has produced three Braavos sea kings in history, including the current sea king Ferrego Antarion.
Although the Antarion family is powerful, the Glory family can only be forced to bow their heads in front of the general trend.
Because for such a long-standing family, tail docking is one of the things they do best.
Especially in an environment like Braavos who believes in numbers rather than blood, they believe that mathematics is beautiful and represents the truth, that one is one and two is two.
Anyone has a certain value in their eyes and can be measured by a certain number, but when the value generated by 'this person' is lower than the burden it brings, it becomes a sacrifice that can be given up.
When Tormo Frega escorted the current Braavos Sea King into the underground emergency meeting room of the Palace of Truth, as the representative of the Antarion family, Ferrego Antarion's uncle, a gray-haired man The old man looked a little embarrassed.
But fortunately, Ferrego Antarion seemed to have accepted his fate, and quietly closed his eyes with shackles on his body, but he did not create more embarrassment for his uncle.
Then in the conference hall under the Palace of Truth, the voting of many nobles began.
In the end, Ferrego Antarion's more than ten years of rule as the Sea King of Braavos was ended with a global rollout and one abstention.
He was hastily listed a series of crimes, the biggest of which was war crimes.
But war is not the original sin, and defeat is the biggest problem for him.
He was then escorted off the field and held in an underground cell in the Palace of Truth, awaiting a future public trial.
And Ferrego Antarion did not argue, and was pushed away silently. His chief swordsman, Quero Valentine, and his advisor, Cleon, were also not spared. They were imprisoned in the dungeon together. The series of henchmen to which he belongs awaits to be purged in the future.
Ferrego Antarion was expelled from the position of Sea King, and a new Sea King must be elected next.
Everyone here now represents the highest-ranking dignitaries in Braavos, and the next Sea King must be selected from them.
Although Braavos claims that every citizen has the possibility of becoming a sea king, the right to vote is in the hands of high-ranking nobles. Therefore, among the sea kings of Braavos, very few of them were really born from civilians.
And although Tormo Fregar offended the Antarion family, he won the support of the Prestan family and more powerful families of Braavos.
In the end, Tormo defeated his competitors without any suspense. After a series of complicated procedures and ceremonies, he became the next Sea King of Braavos in the basement of the Palace of Truth and took over the scepter of Sea King.
And Tolmo became the new Sea King in crisis, but he was not too happy too early.
Because there is still an important problem in front of him that needs to be solved urgently, and that is how to extinguish the anger of the Young Dragon Lord, otherwise his Sea King position will not be stable.
Immediately, the new Sea King discussed countermeasures with all the nobles in the underground meeting room of the Palace of Truth. Because of having a leader, many parties finally reached a relatively unanimous negotiation plan.
…
And Viserys, who took advantage of the night to attack and wreak havoc in Braavos City, finally stopped when the sky was about to dawn.
Bellerion is not a machine that cannot fight endlessly. One person and one dragon have consumed a lot of physical strength, and finally landed on the shield of Zaragoro outside Braavos.
This is the outermost part of Braavos, where the headless titan is connected.
And the silver nugget who was playing naughty in the city was also captured by Viserys. At the beginning, the silver young dragon, which was somewhat out of control, still did not cooperate, and grinned in attempt to resist.
But until Viserys directly grabbed the back of Fate's neck and swept away part of the black mist inside it, the situation improved a lot.
A pair of scarlet eyes gradually returned to clarity, and there was even some panic, as if he didn't know what he had done, and rubbed his head against Viserys' cheek affectionately.
