Chapter 471 Spider's Choice
When the sun gradually set from the west, the chaos in King's Landing had not completely subsided.
However, the situation was already under the control of the human army. After losing the support of witchcraft, the ghouls could no longer cause any disturbances and were gradually cleaned up.
The southern army, holding torches, flocked to all parts of King's Landing City like a torrent, occupying key points and controlling the situation in the city.
The Northern Army was also sensible, and took the initiative to evacuate some key buildings to avoid conflicts with the Southern Army.
The bronze gate of the Red Castle finally opened slowly, and the capital garrison surrendered to the southern army under the leadership of Janos Slynt.
The huge white dragon hovered over the Red Castle for a while, its scarlet eyes looked down at the red castle below, then let out a deep and melodious roar, swooped down, and landed on the top of the city.
Sir Genos stared closely at the white dragon in front of him, his eyes showing mixed emotions of horror and awe.
No matter who saw this kind of monster that should have been in mythology for the first time, they would show such an expression.
Seeing Caesar jumping off the dragon's back, Genos hurried forward and knelt down on one knee:
"Respected His Majesty the Storm King, please allow me to offer you unparalleled loyalty on behalf of the Capital Defense Army."
Samwell quietly looked at the short and stout knight kneeling in front of him, quite disdainful in his heart.
He had known for a long time that the commander of the capital garrison had always been known for taking bribes and buying and selling official titles, and he was also very close to "Littlefinger" Petyr Baelish back then.
Seeking profit and forgetting righteousness is the best portrayal of this person, so he is also a loyal dog of the rich and powerful Lannister family.
Of course, Samwell loathes this kind of person, but he also knows that it is best to show a benevolent gesture when he has just entered King's Landing at this time, so as not to irritate the old aristocratic forces.
Wait for the situation to stabilize in the future, and then come to liquidate one by one...
"I accept your allegiance."
Hearing this, Sir Janos finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He stood up again, showing a flattering smile, and said in a very respectful tone:
"Your Majesty, don't worry, everything in the Red Castle is safe. Although some ghouls accidentally ran into it before, they have basically been cleaned up." Please visit fr𝐞𝐞w𝒏.𝒸𝑜𝔪 website to read fastest update
"Where are the noble ministers?"
"They are all in Maegor's Tower. As soon as you arrive, they will offer their loyalty..."
"Caesar, don't think of me surrendering! I would rather die than bow to you!" Cersei's sharp voice came from the castle, interrupting Sir Janos' flattery.
"Yes, thanks to the brave and clever Arya. But how did you suddenly appear in the cellar?"
"I followed the fat spider into the secret passage," Arya winked at Samwell, "You know where it is."
Seeing Samwell nodding, affirming the little secret between the two, she continued:
"That fat spider was sneaky, and I thought he was going to do something bad, so I followed him all the time. But then he disappeared in the secret passage, and I groped forward by myself, and then I came to Maegor's Mansion somehow cellar."
"Varys is missing?" Samwell said to Noah, "Send someone to look for it."
But at this moment, the young man named Marius who had been a messenger before Varys and Caesar came over, bowed and saluted:
"Your Majesty, Lord Varys asked me to tell you that his mission has been completed and there is no need to look for him."
Samwell froze for a moment:
"Varys escaped?"
Ma slightly coughed and explained:
"Your Majesty, Lord Varys knew that what he had done would make you feel jealous, so he left early. I only hope that you can see it for the sake of the help he provided during your entry into the Lord's Landing. Then worry about the past, so that he can leave safely.
Please rest assured that Lord Varys has traveled across the ocean, and the 'Octospider' will not appear in Westeros again in the future, so you don't have to worry about him posing a threat to you.
As for the intelligence network that Lord Varys has established over the years, I will give it to you as a gift. "
As he spoke, he handed a parchment to Samwell:
"This is Lord Varys's 'Little Birds', and they are all yours now."
Samwell stroked the soft cover of the parchment, narrowing his eyes slightly.
Varys actually chose to retire quietly at the last moment of his reign in King's Landing, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.
But thinking about it carefully, Samwell also had to admire that the spider was able to make such a choice, which was indeed a smart move.
Asking himself, he also knew that he would never forget the fact that Varys conspired with Tywin and others to assassinate him. If this person was still in King's Landing, and he was in charge of such crucial matters as intelligence, Samwell might be at night. I can't sleep anymore.
At that time, he will definitely try to force Varys to hand over his power, even...
But now, Varys chose to retreat bravely and gave a big gift before leaving, so it was not easy for Samwell to pursue what happened back then.
He opened the parchment in his hand, and saw that it was filled with hundreds of names and corresponding contact information.
These are the "little birds" of Varys, his carefully crafted intelligence network.
"Okay." Samwell smiled, "Tell Varys and wish him a happy life in a far away place."
