Chapter 15: Violence is better than hard work

Reese.

In Drumman's mansion, the fat governor was leaning on a bench with squinted eyes, quietly waiting for news from his men, while the two maids beside him were carefully fanning him.

The long summer has not passed yet, and Lys is in the south, so it is really hot these days.

He is also a fat man, and even if he lies in a cool place, he will still sweat constantly.

"Your Majesty the Governor, Your Majesty the Governor..."

The men sent out by Drumman ran in in a panic, breathing heavily while talking.

"Speak slower," Drumman scolded.

"Out there, there are rumors that the Targaryen king and Governor Tweek ambushed the pirates together."

"What?"

Drewman was so angry that he burst into rage.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Yes, and Governor Tweek specially sent a fleet to sea this morning."

Drumman could no longer sit still after hearing the news.

It was obvious that these two grandsons were planning to kill him. If he stayed in Reese any longer, there would be no end in sight.

"Quickly, go pack your things and leave immediately after loading the ship! Take the 100 Unsullied with you."

In times of crisis, Drumman does not trust any mercenaries or ordinary slave soldiers. He only trusts the Unsullied who will never betray.

But after a moment, Drumman seemed to realize something and quickly stopped the servant:

"Wait a minute, pack your things first. Don't move now. We'll move them in the evening! And bring those new bed slaves we bought from Yunkai with us."

…

In the early morning, the sun shines on the sea again.

The cool sea breeze also blew away the smell of blood on the pirate ship.

"Your Majesty, I saw the flag of Reese." The captain promptly reminded him.

"Then speed up and row faster!"

Yesterday, three of the five pirate ships Aegon were directly destroyed, leaving two merchant ships that came to pursue Drumman.

These four hundred pirate sailors were also divided into 20 squads, all commanded by sailors recruited by Aegon from Lys and former mercenaries. They did not carry weapons and only wore shackles.

In order to prevent these people from rebelling, Aegon assigned 100 Unsullied to each ship.

The silhouette of the merchant ship in the distance was getting closer and closer, and soon Aegon and the others caught up with Drumman.

"Prepare to engage in battle!"

Aegon took his time commanding the troops, preparing for the Unsullied to board the ship.

Belworth, on the other hand, stood aside eager to try.

He is particularly interested in fighting.

But what Aegon and the others didn't expect was that someone had already brought Drumman's body to the deck. There was a dagger stuck in the corpse's right eye, and next to his corpse lay the corpse of a man.

"Your Majesty, we beg for mercy!"

Drumman's servant knelt on the ground and brought up the whip that controlled the Unsullied, and there was a young woman tied to the mast.

Aegon raised his hand and asked these people to get up. After some questioning, he finally figured out the whole story.

The young woman above was a bed slave bought from Yunkai. As a result, Drumman was stabbed to death with a dagger just as he was about to enjoy her first night last night.

The other man was Drumman's steward. As soon as he found Drumman lying in a pool of blood in the morning, he grabbed the woman hiding under the bed, tied her to the mast and prepared to sacrifice her to Poseidon.

Just as Aegon and the others arrived, these servants who were afraid of death saw that Aegon's two pirate ships were still flying the flag of Lys, thinking that they were the pursuers of Lys, so they killed the steward together and prepared to surrender.

Aegon didn't expect it to be so simple. He took over Drumman's property and the 100 Unsullied without any effort.

"I forgive your crimes. When you arrive at Slaver's Bay, you will all be free citizens, and you will also receive a settlement fee."

After much thought, Aegon still did not intend to give these people too much honor. After all, these were not the ones who killed Drumman, and these Drumman's servants kowtowed quickly after hearing the news.

"Put her down too!" Aegon pointed to the girl tied to the mast.

Speaking of which, I still want to thank her, otherwise if Drumman had not died, there might have been a bloody battle between the Unsullied on both sides.

After hearing Aegon's instructions, several people who were lying on the ground quickly climbed up and untied the ropes.

When the girl was brought to Aegon, Aegon lifted her chin with his hand and realized that she was a mixed-race beauty, with slightly wheat-colored skin and extremely bony cheeks.

Extremely aggressive, his amber eyes look very charming.

No wonder Drumman didn't forget to take this thorny rose with him when he ran away.

"May I have your name?"

The girl did not answer, but spat directly at Aegon, but Aegon dodged her.

Aegon's face showed a bit of embarrassment:

"It's interesting. You have to know that if I hadn't come here, you might have been buried directly in the belly of the fish, and you would have endured unimaginable torture before you died. Is this how you treat your benefactor?"

After hearing this, the girl lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then murmured: "Raislin!"

"Very good, Rislin, you will be my maid from now on. It just so happens that there is no one to pour wine for me right now!"

Aegon clapped his hands and made his decision, but this time the men following Aegon quickly stopped him, but Aegon just waved his hand.

"I've already decided, now it's up to you whether you agree or not?" Aegon asked with a smile, staring into Raislin's amber eyes.

"What if I don't want to?"

Aegon laughed: "Then there is nothing we can do. It is a capital crime for a slave to murder his master. The only choice is to sacrifice you to the Poseidon."

Rislin on the opposite side said angrily: "But you just forgave them?"

"The butler is not their master!"

Raislin was speechless and nodded slowly after a moment.

"Very good, you can stand up now and change your clothes. Then you can take me to see Drumman's treasure!"

The servants quickly led Aegon the way, and after counting, Aegon was shocked by Drumman's treasure.

The money this guy took with him was worth 200,000 gold dragons. He probably took away all the money that could be moved from home.

Who knows how many people this guy and those pirates ganged up on!

It's a pity that his real estate cannot be taken away, and the group of pirates, Aegon, can't check it, so the golden gold has slipped away from his hands.

Aegon was very excited looking at the jewelry in the cabin. The Ironborn's motto was quite good.

Strength is better than hard work!

I will definitely form a pirate army if I have the chance in the future.
