Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

“Countless people have come here, countless people have ruled this land, yet they have all turned to dust, but Pentos still stands here.”

Two years ago.

A powerful Kharasan army from the Dothraki Sea advanced to Pentos.

Knowing his days were numbered, the elderly Khalil wanted to use this opportunity to establish his authority over his son.

However, he failed.

He terrified the prince of Pentos, outwardly fierce but inwardly weak, yet ultimately died at the hands of a mere commoner.

Governor Scott’s voice was cold.

But Viserys could hear the threat in his words.

Anyone can ride on Pentos's head for a short time, but in the end, the city will stand firm and always be the one who laughs last.

Viserys also turned to look at the young governor, his eyes narrowing with a hint of something unusual.

From his words, it is clear that the death of Balboca two years ago seems to be inextricably linked to Pentos.

Or perhaps this was all part of Pentos's conspiracy.

He easily caused the grassland overlord to fall apart, dividing it into several Karasas, each ruled by a different Khao.

Perhaps it was because Balbocao posed a great threat to Pentos back then.

Or for some other reason, Viserys was unaware of the inside story.

However, the final result was that Barbkao died, and his karasa was dissolved.

"You're right."

"No one can rule Pentos forever."

Viserys nodded, seemingly agreeing with what the other person said, and then spoke calmly. However, his words left the other person speechless for a moment, and then his expression darkened.

As he himself said, no one can rule Pentos forever…

So, who is the current ruler of Pentos?

"Humph."

The young governor, his face grim, gave a cold snort and then returned to his seat without saying anything more.

"Your Majesty, please take a seat."

At this moment, another, slightly older governor spoke up from his seat.

He was Governor Keppel of the Keane family, an old man with gray hair, wearing a blue velvet robe with gold thread outlining the edges.

His attitude toward Viserys appeared to be the most amicable.

When he arrived in Pentos two years ago, besides Illyrio, he and Viserys had the most to talk about.

Viserys nodded slightly, then climbed the steps and sat back down in his seat.

He was positioned very close to Prince Pentos. The entire rotunda was circular, beginning with Prince Pentos's throne, with steps leading down from it.

The prince was the head of state of Pentos, while the governor, as the actual ruler, sat in a position no lower than the prince, except that he did not sit in the center. This shows that...

Before the banquet began, the hall was noisy with people whispering, and the servants were busy carrying out desserts and fruit platters.

"The Hall family, Governor Vogt!"

Amidst the chaotic noise, the messenger's voice announced the arrival of another governor, a strong man in his fifties dressed in military uniform. He then took his seat.

Viserris glanced at the governor a few more times, realizing that he hadn't seen the man two years ago.

The governors of Pentos did not attend every meeting.

The last time Viserys came to Pentos, Governor Hall did not attend, but this time all the governors seem to be present.

Chapter 202 Cooperation

The other person's footsteps were heavy, and his eyes were sharp. When he sat down, his eyes were fixed on Viserys without any attempt to hide his gaze.

Viserys was also looking at the other person, who then snorted and looked away.

"He is one of the governors who is hostile to you."

And at this time.

Illyrio, who had not accompanied the prince on his city tour, suddenly appeared behind Viserys and whispered a reminder.

Viserys nodded slightly.

"I can tell."

Even Governor Scott, who initially spoke to him, harbored deep hostility towards him, and his tone even contained undisguised threats.

The last time these governors came to Pentos, they still wore hypocritical smiles, but this time they were practically revealing their true colors.

They don't even seem to bother to pretend.

Viserys remained seated, looking completely calm with his legs crossed, showing no sign of panic.

Two guards stood behind him, equally showing no fear.

The governors of Pentos could hardly conceal their intentions; they were already stirring even before the banquet had begun.

"Belle Rien".

Viserys sat in his seat and silently called out to himself, and he vaguely felt a response.

Before it was hatched, Bellerion absorbed the black mist, which then caused a layer of golden cracks to appear on its eggshell.

Ever since the birth of Bellerion, Viserys has had a subtle connection with it, a connection that allows them to sense each other.

Viserys could sense Bellerion's state; he seemed to be in a very good mood right now.

"Ho..."

A deep, muffled growl echoed through the dark forest, and a massive shadow fell over the land.

The sleeping animals were instantly awakened and their ears perked up.

They sensed danger; the smell of sulfur wafted over from a great distance.

Splash...

Then the grass rustled, and countless small animals began to scatter and flee.

The rabbit jumped up, the monkey grabbed the vine and swung away into the distance, the deer herd ran into the distance, and even a striped tiger was among the fleeing deer. However, at this moment, it had no time to care about the delicious food around it, and only wanted to escape.

What a magnificent forest migration!

Dragon.

Its arrival brought a devastating ecological crisis to this forest.

He drove all the animals away into the distance, but some of the unfortunate prey that were caught were roasted by his dragon flames and then torn apart and swallowed.

"Ho-"

Then Bellerion felt Viserys's call.

Its long, slender neck, covered in scales, was slightly raised, and its scarlet eyes, with golden vertical pupils, radiated a dangerous light.

Splash...

Then the black dragon spread its wings and soared into the sky, stirring up a whirlwind that whipped up the wild grass on the ground and the branches and leaves on the trees.

A huge shadow fell and flew into the distance.

...

"Ho-"

Viserys was much relieved to receive a response from Bellerion.

The young king was very well prepared for his trip.

It not only allowed Rams to contact the Prince of Raggedy and his Wind Blowing Corps.

Prince Ragnarok has a very strong obsession with Pentos.

He led the Windblown Company to submit to the Targaryens, and his condition was that Viserys hand over Pentos to him for governance.

He had made the same offer to others, but no one had agreed to it.

Viserys then sent someone to contact him, and the Prince of Raggedy did not hesitate for long before deciding to meet with Viserys in person.

The Windbringers have over two thousand battle-hardened mercenaries. After they seize Pentos through a coordinated attack from within and without, they can rely on the Targaryens for support.

Otherwise, it would be wishful thinking for these two thousand men to take over Pentos. Moreover, even if they could, without a powerful force backing them up, they would eventually be overthrown by other forces.

The Wind Blowing Gang needs to rely on the Young Dragon Lord's intimidation.

Andalus is now a vast country with a large population. Due to its special military service system, the size of its army has also grown significantly, now reaching nearly 20,000 men, ten times the size of the Wind Blowing Legion, and it also has three giant dragons.

Viserys also needed to open the gates of Pentos, and the Prince of Raggedy's special status provided a legitimate excuse to control Pentos.

As one of the heirs of forty families, and even a candidate for prince, his case is legally justifiable.

After the Targaryens established their presence in this jewel of the bay, they gained access to a port with a massive cargo throughput.

The massive annual transaction volume is enough to serve as the kingdom's financial engine, and Pentos also boasts a terrifying population.

Population, economy, culture.

Pentos's geographical location is also very important, as it had previously hampered the development of the Targaryens.

Now that the gates have been opened, the army under the three-headed dragon can continue to expand eastward and southward.

South of Pentos lies a vast, flat plain, home to cities like Na Sastar, A Norn, the Golden Plains, and Chayorn, among others. Military forces can reach as far as the Sea of ​​Myr, and even extend to the still disputed territory of Myr.

The predicament that the Targaryens were in was suddenly broken, and from then on, the sky was high and the sea was wide, and nothing could stop the dragons from taking flight.

Therefore, Viserys and the Prince of Raggedy were engaging in a mutually beneficial deal on the flagless black ship.

Both sides have urgent needs.

Simultaneously.

Viserys didn't fully trust the Windbringers mercenaries either, as far as he knew, their reputation wasn't very good.
