Mongo and Rogge led their troops on a forced march, arriving at Cuy Town at the foot of Yangwu City on the third day at noon.
Cuy Town is the only town in the Yangwu City earldom, with a history of a thousand years, so its population is in the tens of thousands.
Although the town is not particularly prosperous, all industries are well-established.
Moreover, due to its excellent geographical location, the people of Yangwu City live a relatively affluent life.
To the southeast of Yangwu City is the Sunset Sea, and influenced by the oceanic climate, the Yangwu City earldom enjoys a warm and humid climate year-round.
This makes agriculture and animal husbandry in Yangwu City, which already has fertile land, very developed.
And because it is adjacent to the Arbor of the Redwyne Family, the Cuy family has built many vineyards in some hilly areas near the sea, specifically to provide high-quality grapes for the Redwyne Family to brew golden wine.
This alone can bring the Cuy family at least two to three hundred thousand gold dragons in profit annually.
Coupled with income from other agricultural and sideline products, Yangwu City has an annual income of at least four to five hundred thousand gold dragons.
The Cuy family also has its own ocean-going fleet, with more than twenty three-masted and flat-bottomed ships, and forty to fifty fishing boats hunting in nearby waters.
These brought the Cuy family even more income, placing the Cuy family's wealth among the upper-middle class of earldoms in the Seven Kingdoms.
The Cuy family cleverly followed the powerful Arbor fleet of the Redwyne Family; although they had to pay a significant portion of their profits to the Redwyne Family each time, they benefited from the Redwyne Family's protection and almost never encountered any accidents.
It was precisely because of this wealth that the Cuy family could afford more than forty knights and eight hundred standing soldiers, all equipped with the best weapons and armor.
This time, to show their loyalty, the Earl of Cuy almost took away all the armed forces of the entire earldom.
Yangwu City was left with only ten knights and one hundred guards.
The remaining ten knights and two hundred warriors were protecting the family fleet, following the Arbor fleet to the East Continent, Essos, for ocean trade.
When Mongo and his large contingent entered Cuy Town, the townspeople thought their Earl Lord had returned triumphantly, so they all ran to the streets with flowers in hand and began to line up to welcome him.
Yangwu City, having received the news, also opened the castle gates, joyfully preparing to welcome the Cuy army into the city.
But when they saw that the leader was a fierce-looking Dothraki, Cullen Cuy, the knight instructor of Yangwu City, immediately realized something was wrong, and he quickly sent someone to close the city gates.
But how could Mongo give him a chance?
He picked up his bow and shot two arrows, killing two soldiers who were about to close the city gates on the spot.
Then, brandishing his Dothraki scimitar, he rushed to the city gate like lightning.
"Surrender or die! The Cuy family has been stripped of their titles and lands for treason, so don't make any more futile resistance!"
Mongo shouted loudly while continuously swinging the scimitar in his hand, mercilessly cutting down those who still held weapons.
And Rogge also arrived with the cavalry.
The ten knights of the Cuy family were quickly all cut down.
The defending soldiers, seeing that the Cuy family's power was gone, put down their weapons to save their lives.
Next, Mongo and Rogge marched straight in, imprisoning all male members of the Cuy family in the dungeon.
Female members were all confined to an empty house and guarded personally by the Unsullied.
The guards of Yangwu City were also all replaced by the Unsullied and Oldtown Garrison members.
The current Countess of Cuy is the daughter of the Redwyne Family, so she is very shrewd and formidable.
When Yangwu City was breached, she immediately led the family's women to change into ordinary clothes and remove all valuable jewelry.
Lady Redwyne walked calmly in front of Mongo and Rogge and spoke with dignity,
"Here are Yangwu City's account books and the keys to the treasury, please inspect them, my lords."
"Since Princess Daenerys has already made a ruling, the Cuy family will naturally accept the punishment.
But please, my lords, do not make things difficult for us womenfolk."
Rogge took the account books and keys and respectfully performed a noble bow to Lady Redwyne,
"Her Royal Highness the Princess specifically instructed us before we left to treat everyone well, so madam can rest assured.
Before Her Royal Highness the Princess arrives, please stay in your rooms with peace of mind; I will arrange for servants to take good care of you."
After taking Yangwu City, Mongo, with the assistance of Doren Scholar, inventoried the treasury and sealed off the spoils of war.
Rogge led the incorporated soldiers to quickly occupy the Cuy Town dock and began to inventory the ships according to Yangwu City's records.
It should be known that these ships were the largest source of wealth for Yangwu City; if they got the news and fled with the ships, the loss would be enormous.
And Doren Scholar also immediately used a raven to report to Daenerys that the Cuy family fleet had followed the Arbor fleet to the East Continent for ocean trade.
Upon receiving the news, Daenerys immediately sent a message to the Redwyne Family, strictly ordering them to guard the Cuy family fleet.
If there were any losses, she would directly demand compensation from the Redwyne Family.
Upon receiving the news, the Earl of Redwyne immediately sent a message to his family fleet through his own communication channels, instructing them to ensure the Cuy family fleet was well-guarded.
Because the bloody lessons of the Hightower Family and the Cuy family were right before their eyes, the Redwyne Family dared not easily offend Daenerys.
Furthermore, the Redwyne Family and Daenerys had always had a good relationship, and the Earl of Redwyne was recently planning to become the new Master of Ships.
If he could get the help of Princess Daenerys, it would undoubtedly increase his chances of success significantly.
Because according to the message relayed to the family by his cousin, Ser Ryan, the Kingsguard Captain, the Dragon Princess now had the most influence with King Jaehaerys.
The news of Daenerys's decisive handling of the Cuy family spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms within a few days, and many noble lords protested to the Small Council.
But after King Jaehaerys presented the evidence of bringing the dragon Antros back to King's Landing to the Small Council, everyone wisely ceased their objections.
After all, the three counts of treason by the Cuy family had been proven, and their family being raided and annihilated was well-deserved.
King Jaehaerys also fully agreed with Daenerys's handling of the Cuy family and temporarily entrusted Yangwu City to Daenerys's management.
And with the Hightower Family, who fell from grace due to the Oldtown riot, and the Cuy family, who were almost annihilated for their recklessness, both falling into Daenerys's hands, all the interested noble lords in the Seven Kingdoms began to take Daenerys seriously.
Meanwhile, Princess Rhaenys, who had rushed back to Tide Head Island due to Sea Smoke going missing, was discussing Daenerys's actions in Oldtown with her husband, Lord Sea Snake.
"I didn't expect a ten-year-old girl to bring down both the Hightower Family and the Cuy family.
And she has consistently maintained the moral high ground; it seems this Targaryen Princess is truly extraordinary!"
Princess Rhaenys drank the fine wine in her hand and said with a smile,
"Isn't that good?
The Targaryen Family and House Velaryon have intermarried for generations; we just need to try our best to marry her to Tide Head Island!"
Lord Sea Snake naturally had the same idea, but he was not as optimistic as his wife,
"Do you think Daenerys is someone who would let others control her marriage?"
