However, after Petyr Baelish's bold words fell, there was indeed silence in the room.
Littlefinger thought that what he said should have struck a chord with Neptune. After all, there was no direct evidence to prove that Braavos secretly supported Targaryen, but it was something everyone knew.
Just as Dorne also secretly supported the development of Andalos, a large amount of materials were shipped over.
Otherwise, no matter how great his skills were lent to Viserys, he would not have been able to create such a huge foundation out of thin air when he had nothing. Even the craftsmen who built the castle were borrowed from Braavos and Dorne.
.
The reason for Braavos to do this is also very clear. After the unification of the Seven Kingdoms, the size is indeed too huge.
Once upon a time, the Targaryen rule was deeply entrenched and it was difficult for them to interfere. However, now Westeros is in a state of change. The Targaryen dynasty was overthrown and replaced by the Baratheon dynasty.
So Braavos naturally hopes to take advantage of this good opportunity to reach out to Westeros.
Nowadays, countless nobles in the Seven Kingdoms have been on the verge of bankruptcy, and they managed to survive by secretly obtaining loans from the Iron Bank.
If you receive kindness from others today, you will definitely repay it twice as much in the future.
Viserys was just a pawn in Braavos' plan to disrupt Westeros.
But this chess piece is now gradually growing in the direction of the chess player, which will inevitably hit the bottom line of Braavos.
This is the key that Petyr thinks he has grasped.
And the Sea King of Braavos was lying on the hospital bed staring at Petyr Baelish, his eyes dull and lifeless.
There was silence for a long time, and then he took a few breaths with his chest rising and falling.
"Lord Baelish, why is Andalos the biggest threat to Braavos?"
Ferrego's tone was calm.
The young man from King's Landing cheered up slightly.
What he fears most is that the Sea King of Braavos denies it, is unwilling to talk to him about the matter, and may even drive him away.
In this way, no matter how talented Littlefinger is, he will not be able to complete the errand assigned by King Robert.
And as long as Neptune is willing to continue chatting with him on this topic, Petyr Baelish will be sure to convince Braavos and Targaryen to become enemies, forming the encirclement network planned by Lord Tywin, and putting Targaryen's
The remnants are chained to this land.
The growth scale of Andalos has now reached its upper limit. There are Braavos to the north, Pentos to the south, and Norvos surrounded by mountains to the west. Andalos must break through if it wants to continue to develop.
And if the Iron Throne's original plan were to follow the example of the Battle of the Nine Copper Kings and launch an expedition to completely eliminate the remaining Targaryens, there would be nothing to follow.
But winter comes at the wrong time.
Tywin and Robert had a long talk. He was not afraid of the Targaryen dragons. After all, dragons would not grow too big in two or three years.
As long as more giant crossbows are built during this period, it will be enough to threaten the giant dragon in the sky.
Although there is no 100% guarantee that we can kill the dragon Meraxes like the Dornish people did back then, but at least it will prevent these dragons from attacking unbridled.
As for the war on the ground, even if the huge Seven Kingdoms fight across the sea, their military strength and armaments are far greater than that of a small Andalus. The boundless army will submerge this city-state.
This is the strength of a great country. After all, the main body of war is the army, not the dragon.
Therefore, what the Duke of Casterly Rock is most worried about is that while the Seven Kingdoms are struggling to survive the winter, Andalus once again takes the opportunity to expand, and even breaks through this encirclement network composed of trading city-states.
If Targaryen really becomes the overlord on the continent of Essos, by then the Seven Kingdoms will be unable to annihilate each other on their own.
Duke Tywin's plan can be regarded as a combination of vertical and horizontal strategies. The rapid development of Andalos will inevitably pose a threat to the surrounding free trade city-states.
As long as they make good use of this fear, even if they cannot organize a coalition to encircle and suppress Andalos, at least they can unite to suppress the development of Andalos.
"dragon!"
The little finger spread out his hands and emphasized again with an emphasis.
"Lord Neptune, you don't understand what kind of creature a dragon is."
"As far as I know roughly, there is no limit to growth in a dragon's life."
"Vhagar."
"The dragon of Queen Visenya, sister of Aegon the Conqueror, had lived one hundred and eighty-one years when it died. It was the oldest and largest dragon in Westeros, almost comparable to the Black Death.
Balerion, his roar could make Storm's End tremble."
"And so is human ambition."
Petyr spoke in a serious tone, as if he was really worried about the future of Braavos.
What does an infinitely growing dragon mean? It means that in the next hundred years, Targaryen's power will expand infinitely with the growth of the dragon.
If the three Targaryen dragons grow to the size of their ancestors, I am afraid that the descendants of Viserys will also devour everything in the entire continent of Essos, and Braavos will not be spared.
"A lion will not walk with a deer."
Lord Littlefinger, the smallest person on the Five Fingers Peninsula, gave a warning, which seemed to mean something.
When the Sea King of Braavos, who was lying weak on the hospital bed, heard these words, an inexplicable smile appeared on his lips, and then he spoke in a calm tone.
"You mean, Braavos is a deer or a lion?"
However, before Baelish could explain, Neptune shook his head slightly.
"Braavos is neither a deer nor a lion, but a titan."
"Giants are not afraid of dragons."
Then Ferrego coughed violently a few more times and closed the door to see off the guests.
"I understand what you mean, Lord Baelish."
"Please tell King Robert that Braavos has no intention of interfering in the power struggle for the Iron Throne, whether it is Baratheon or Targaryen, the real king or the false king."
The Sea King of Braavos suddenly wanted to drive him away. Petyr was caught off guard, and his handsome face was filled with surprise.
But Neptune had already spoken and he had no choice but to bow politely and leave Neptune's bedroom.
Soon, Neptune's bedroom fell into silence.
Ferrego Antalion lay quietly on the hospital bed with his eyes slightly closed. No one knew what he was thinking. Then he opened his eyes again and said.
"Quero, I need help from the House of Black and White."
"Lord Neptune?"
And his chief swordsman was slightly surprised, not expecting Lord Neptune to want to use the power of the Faceless Men.
This power is not easy to use. Usually, Neptune rarely uses this part of his power.
"I need to find out what that kid Viserys did."
"There's more than meets the eye."
Neptune's words made it clear that Braavos has always been monitoring Viserys.
