Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep
Chapter 23 Plunder
Jack took a thousand Unsullied to meet Mavis, while the remaining two hundred Unsullied and three hundred Sea Guards began to rob the carriages in the city.
As time passed, the turmoil lasted for three days, until the time was almost up, and the five thousand slave soldiers under Xaro began to move out.
They wore leather armor and held spears in their hands. Their equipment was no less sophisticated than that of the standing army of Qarth, and far exceeded the slave soldiers under other merchants.
These were all preparations made by Xaro to finally wipe out the standing army of the royal family of Qarth.
Just as Xaro was eliminating dissidents, the standing army of the royal family of Qarth also took action. They claimed that the Thirteen Giants had launched a rebellion and started a war.
The two parties fought fiercely in the center of Qarth, but the slave soldiers in Xaro's hands had an advantage in numbers. Many merchants who were on the fence also commanded their slave soldiers to participate in the battle against the royal army.
Xaro saw that the balance of victory was tilting towards him, and greed appeared on his fat face. Qarth would soon be his.
"Hiss--" the young dragon's roar sounded, and Korakshu crossed the sky, spewing scarlet dragon flames.
After igniting several slave soldiers, it quickly returned. Its main purpose was to boost morale, not to fight.
Mavis's face showed surprise. Jack finally launched an attack. If he didn't come again, his army would be defeated.
In ancient times, once the loss rate of an army reached more than 30%, there was a risk of defeat. The more elite the troops, the lower the probability of defeat, and they could even fight to the last soldier.
But it was obvious that the standing army under Mavis was not among the elite. Jack saw the opportunity and released Korakshu to boost morale when the standing army of Qarth was about to be defeated, and at the same time let his unsullied insert into Xaro's army from the flank.
The standing army of Qarth successfully held on. With the addition of the unsullied, Xaro's slave army was rapidly defeated. They were originally slaves, so naturally no one would stay to fight to the death.
When Zaro saw this scene, his eyes were about to burst. He had been preparing for this moment for too long, but he didn't expect to fail at the critical moment.
"Stop, don't run away, you lowly slaves, go back and fight!"
But no slave paid any attention to Zaro. The fear of death had overcome the fear of the slave owner.
Seeing that the situation was over, Zaro could only flee with the crowd. He suppressed his reluctance. His life was more important. After all, as long as he was alive, he would have the opportunity to regroup and make a comeback.
Jack took the bow and arrow handed over by his men, and aimed the cold arrow at Zaro's fat kidneys.
As his right hand loosened, the arrow made a sharp sound of breaking through the air and directly pierced Zaro's buttocks.
Jack showed annoyance on his face, "Damn, this bow and arrow is really hard to practice, I clearly aimed at the waist."
"Captain, you have made great progress. I believe you will be an archer who never misses in the future."
"Thank you for your compliment." Jack returned the bow and arrow to his men, dragged Haixiao and walked step by step towards Zaro who was wailing in pain on the ground.
The sizzling sound of the sword on the stone floor frightened Zaro so much that he dared not look back and could only crawl forward desperately.
"Please, please, don't kill me, please, please." Zaro kept begging.
Just then, a fleeing slave soldier stepped on Zaro's hand. The severe pain made Zaro stop crawling, and instead kept squirming and screaming on the spot.
Soon Jack came to Zaro, pinched Zaro's face, and looked at Mavis who was commanding the encirclement and suppression of the slave soldiers.
"Look at him. Prince Qarth personally commanded the battle and let his soldiers fight bloody battles, while you begged for my forgiveness like a poor worm. This is the difference."
"But you all made a serious mistake. Without military power and command brains, don't go to the battlefield. He was obviously too excited, so he will die like you!"
As soon as Jack finished speaking, a slave who had been bought long ago directly pierced Mavis' chest with an arrow.
Mavis opened his eyes wide and looked at the sharp arrow piercing his chest in disbelief. All the achievements that had not yet been realized were turned into smoke in an instant.
Xaro stared at Jack with wide eyes. This person didn't look like a businessman at all, but more like a conspirator, calculating everyone on the chessboard.
The tsunami pierced Xaro's head. Jack immediately gathered the Unsullied to leave the battle, and then led people to rush to the headquarters of the Thirteen Giants Chamber of Commerce.
Along the way, as long as he saw a vehicle, he would grab it directly. Jack had been waiting for this day for a long time. It was really tiring to pretend to be a serious and honest businessman.
At this time, the other 500 people had occupied the warehouse of the Thirteen Giants and killed a large number of slaves and freemen who tried to make a fortune in the chaos.
When Sorge saw Jack coming, he immediately reported the situation. As one of the few people in the Sea Guard who could read and count, he was lucky to become the leader of the Sea Guard.
"My lord, there is not much cash in the warehouse of the Thirteen Giants, but there are many valuable treasures and goods."
"Move the most valuable things first. We don't want the goods. If there is no channel for that thing, it will be a waste of time to digest it."
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, he immediately ordered to move the most valuable treasures first, followed by gems and gold.
With the death of Mavis, the royal family of Qarth launched a bloody fight for the position of prince.
The royal family of Qarth is equivalent to the House of Representatives, and the position of prince is the president of the parliament. Now that the Chamber of Commerce of Qarth has been reshuffled, it is not impossible for the future president of the parliament to restore the monarchy and become the real king of Qarth.
The entire Qarth fell into turmoil. The prosperous city was suddenly filled with burning, killing and looting, with flames and screams everywhere.
A large amount of wealth was transported to the Atlantis supply ship under the escort of the Unsullied.
The chaos lasted for a day and a night. Jack woke up from the warehouse the next day. He did not return to the Poseidon last night and had been in command in the warehouse.
"My lord, you are awake. It will be finished soon. It is estimated that there are 300,000 gold coins. It's a pity that these goods are not easy for us to move, otherwise the harvest can be multiplied several times."
Sorge's tone was full of regret. Most of the warehouses of the Thirteen Giants were filled with unprocessed spices and wine.
So it was not a small amount to plunder 300,000 wealth. After all, they were businessmen, and most of their assets were goods.
At this time, the Immortal Temple suddenly caught fire. Seeing this scene, Jack knew that Daenerys had found her dragon baby.
As the son of destiny, this little hardship was nothing to Dany.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Jack followed the army back to the Poseidon as the last box of treasure was loaded onto the carriage.
This trip was very rewarding. No wonder war and looting are the shortcuts to making money. This trip earned 300,000 gold coins.
Jack, who returned to the Poseidon, embarked on the journey back to Astapor again. He kidnapped some sailors and helped him drive away 50 large ships on the dock.
Atlantis has 170 ships, but including the kidnapped sailors, there are less than 2,000 people, with an average of ten people on each ship.
So Jack is going to buy another batch of Unsullied, and buy some ship slaves. Healthy ship slaves can be qualified sailors with a little training.
As for what will happen to Qarth next, it is none of his business. He just hopes that Qarth will still be prosperous when he comes to collect "protection fees" next time.
