The sound of footsteps outside the hall was clear.
Tap tap tap...
A man wearing a simple gray robe and short hair hurriedly walked into the Nine Towers Palace.
Viserys was sitting on the throne waiting quietly.
"His Majesty."
After the Braavos envoy entered the palace, he immediately bowed and saluted when he saw the silver-haired young man on the throne.
The messenger from Braavos certainly came with the intention of conciliation.
Nowadays, the power of Targaryen has become stronger and stronger, and an all-out war with Targaryen is not in the interests of Braavos.
Therefore, the envoy from Braavos brought a shipload of gold, silver and jewels, with a total value of very huge, and gave them to Viserys, hoping to ease the relationship between the two parties.
certainly.
Naturally, the envoy from Braavos did not come to Pentos with the theme of easing relations.
Although many people are aware of it externally, they have not directly exposed it after all.
The people of Braavos should bear a great deal of responsibility for the massacre that Myr suffered.
Because it was the Dothraki hired by Braavos to attack Pentos.
However, the Dothraki attack in Pentos was frustrated and they lost the battle. They turned to attack Myr and started a massacre in the city of Myr.
But the people of Braavos are unwilling to bear this responsibility, and they don't want to be nailed on the pillar of shame in history. Naturally, they are shameless and do not want to admit these crimes.
Behind closed doors is to ease the relationship.
The opening of the gate to Braavos is claimed to be to celebrate the upcoming sixteenth nameday of His Majesty Viserys III Targaryen.
It was also a gift for his coming-of-age ceremony.
Viserys's nameday is September 24th, and a grand celebration will be held in the city of Pentos.
With the rapid growth of Targaryen's power on the continent of Essos, Viserys' coming of age ceremony must be very grand.
Regardless of whether they are hostile or friendly, all the forces did not miss this opportunity for communication. They sent envoys in advance and are now on their way to Pentos.
Although there was a small unpleasantness, they later helped Norvos put out the cause of the mountain fire. The relationship between the bearded monks and Targaryen was still good, and they sent an envoy.
Although the sky is high and the emperor is far away from Kohor, he still sent people to join in the fun and communicate on trade-related issues.
After the destruction of Myr, the triangular stability of the "Three Sisters Kingdom" collapsed. Lys and Tyrosh are now facing each other tit for tat, and a war is imminent.
Therefore, both city-states hope to win over Targaryen to support their sovereignty over the disputed land, and are wary of Volantis, who is once again ready to make a move. For this reason, the two city-states are also full of sincerity.
The proud Volantis also sent an envoy.
Although the two families had deep conflicts.
As the self-proclaimed 'eldest daughter of Valyria', Volantis once wanted to unite with the Targaryens to conquer the continent of Essos and restore the Free Fortress.
However, they encountered the rejection of Aegon the Conqueror, the Targaryen leader at the time, and then the Volantis army began to attack Tyrosh, and the war officially broke out.
Aegon rode a dragon to participate in the war and defeated Volantis' army, so the two sides formed a grudge.
But now Volantis is gradually declining, and Targaryen has also fled to the continent of Essos.
Volantis, ruled by the Elephant Party, seems to want to put aside its past feud and get in touch with Targaryen again.
So they also come with a lot of sincerity and excellent negotiators.
There is even an exiled prince from the distant Summer Islands, Zale Island.
His fate is very similar to that of Viserys. He has dark skin and wears a feather cloak. He is Prince Jalaba Thror, coming from King's Landing.
There is still one month left before His Majesty the King's coming-of-age ceremony.
However, many envoys have gathered in Pentos City in a short period of time, and many more are still on their way.
But things happened one after another.
Just when Viserys was still thinking about whether to fall out with Braavos...
After all, such a major direction matter must be carefully considered, and it is definitely not something that can be decided with a slap on the forehead.
Moreover, as wars broke out one after another, Viserys also had to consider the war weariness and morale of the soldiers.
At this time, another major event happened from across the narrow sea in Westeros.
…
An urgent piece of information was rushed into Viserys' hands.
This information comes from Westeros, and the content of the information is very simple.
Probably because the negotiations between the wildlings and the Baratheon Dynasty broke down, the King Beyond the Wall blew the legendary Horn of Winter.
Then a section of the Great Wall collapsed, and hundreds of thousands of savages poured into the northern border.
That night, King Robert seemed to be very drunk. Instead of staying in Castle Black, he became sexually aroused and secretly went to Mole Village to spend the night.
After hearing the news, Eddard Stark, the Duke of Winterfell, led a group of guards to leave the Great Wall to find Robert. Only one Duke, Stannis, remained at Castle Black.
That night Castle Black collapsed and wildlings poured in. No one could confirm whether the unfortunate Stannis was alive or dead.
Some people say that Stannis broke out under the desperate protection of soldiers, while others say that he was simply stoned to death.
The situation at that time was very confusing, and the person who delivered this information was difficult to tell clearly, as much of the information was hearsay.
However, the news that a small section of the Great Wall collapsed and hundreds of thousands of savages poured into the northern border is really untrue.
Now the entire northern border is in chaos. Except for the nobles who own the castle, everyone in the villages and farmers living outside the city is in danger.
Tragedies have already occurred in which several villages were massacred by savages.
However, King Robert and Lord Eddard are said to be fine.
They were not at the Great Wall that night, so they quickly organized their remaining troops and launched a counterattack against the savages.
The combat effectiveness of the savages, who were said to be hundreds of thousands, was actually not very high, and they were quickly defeated by the regular army who had regained their strength.
However, these victories will not help alleviate the current chaos in the north.
After all, there are too many savages and too few regular troops.
Hundreds of thousands of savages were running back and forth, burning, killing, looting and causing destruction. In fact, let alone humans, even hundreds of thousands of pigs were not that easy to catch so quickly.
Moreover, the number of coalition forces brought by Robert was too small. Even if he organized soldiers to fight here and there, he could not catch all the wildlings. They even encountered several wildling ambushes and lost a lot of soldiers.
When Viserys saw the information in his hand, he was almost shocked beyond measure.
He did not expect that the situation in Westeros would suddenly undergo such a dramatic change, which shocked him even more than the destruction of Myr.
What he didn't expect even more was that the legendary Horn of Winter was actually useful.
In his memory, isn't this thing broken?
Later, he was picked up by the pathogenic wolf Ghost and Jon Snow during the Night's Watch expedition.
Then he blew it for a few times without any sound, and was then taken to the city by Sam Tarly.
