And in the north of the city of Braavos, in the Palace of the Neptune.
Because of the distance, the roar of the arsenal was only faintly visible here.
The Neptune Palace stands on the sea and consists of several islands and reefs. There are stone bridges as a series, towering stone towers, and magnificent domes. To the north of the Neptune Palace is the Purple Harbor, where other ships of the Invincible Fleet are docked.
it's here.
At this moment, footsteps hurriedly sounded in the palace, which seemed quite urgent.
"Lord Cleon."
Cleon Meissner, advisor to the Sea King of Braavos, hurried over from outside, and the guards along the way quickly bowed and saluted.
The middle-aged man wearing a simple gray robe with a serious face did not even return the greeting, but continued to walk inside.
He was the alderman who first brought Viserys to Pentos as an envoy to Dragonstone. Later, he went to Pentos to continue lobbying because of his good personal relationship with Viserys.
Because of these two successful diplomatic bonus points and his own outstanding abilities, Cleon was successfully promoted from an ordinary city official to a consultant and part-time personal butler of Neptune.
But now he came in the dark, and Quero Valentine, the chief swordsman of Braavos, naturally stopped him. It was late at night, and Lord Neptune was not in good health and could not be disturbed too much.
However, when Quiro heard Cleon explain his purpose, the chief swordsman, who had always been calm, stable, and unsmiling, showed a look of uncertainty on his face for the first time, and he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky.
Later, Quiro Valentine also knew the seriousness of the matter. He no longer stopped Cleon, but knocked on Lord Neptune's door himself.
Bang bang bang
The terminally ill and weak Sea King of Braavos was awakened from his sleep.
"What happened?"
He also heard the roar from the outside world, and then he lay on the bed with a pale face and listened to Cleon's report.
His face became even more ugly.
The dragon attacked Braavos under the cover of night. The casualty statistics are not available yet, but the number is still growing at an alarming rate every minute and every second.
Moreover, the attacker was very rational. He did not ride a dragon to attack the residential areas of Braavos, but focused on attacking the military industry in Braavos.
According to a rough estimate, nearly half of the Armada's warships have been submerged in the sea, and broken wooden boards and shipwrecks are floating everywhere on the sea.
Now the attackers riding giant dragons are flying towards the center of Braavos.
Raiders riding dragons
The Sea King of Braavos looked ugly when he heard Cleon's words. Where did the attacker riding the dragon come from? Just call him the son of the Mad King.
He did not expect the retribution to come so quickly. The troops who went to Pentos to steal the dragon just returned last night, and today the retribution came.
What was even more difficult for him to accept was that the boy who pretended to be calm and went to Braavos alone to ask for help now rode a dragon and returned to Braavos. However, this time he also
Brought blood and fire.
"We helped him before!"
"He was begging for our help like a puppy at that time!"
Ferrego Antalion was lying on the hospital bed, breathing heavily, and couldn't help but speak emotionally.
Braavos is the leader of the free trade city-states. Over the years, only Braavos has attacked others and spread its own ideas. The system still has its own consciousness and requires other city-states to follow its lead in abolishing slavery, but it has never allowed the flames of war to burn.
To the mainland of Braavos.
And he met Viserys, did all this, and successfully let the dragon flames destroy the statue of the Titan, which also deeply nailed him to the pillar of shame of the Sea King in Braavos.
Each generation of Neptunes will have a statue. Neptunes with good grades will be worshiped by the people, and Neptunes with poor performance will be cast aside.
Ferrego Antalion almost thought about the scene after his death, and then he once again couldn't control his emotions and spoke angrily.
"How dare he do this!"
But then there was a violent cough, and he even coughed up blood.
"Lord Neptune!"
The chief swordsman, Quiro Valentine, felt nervous when he saw this scene, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Ferrego, patting his back to soothe his mood.
Then he brought a handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of Lord Neptune's mouth.
"Lord Neptune, the top priority is what should we do now?"
When Cleon saw Neptune coughing up blood, his heart also sank, but he still asked.
Cleon also knew about the matter of stealing the young dragon. This was the most rigorous plan of the top brass in Braavos, because they had already deeply felt the threat of the dragon.
Especially when Tychu Nestos, the manager of the Iron Treasury in the Seven Kingdoms, recorded everything he saw and heard in the Seven Kingdoms and kept sending it back to Braavos, it aggravated their anxiety even more.
Taichu was quite certain of the power of the dragon in his letter, and the original words in his letter even described it this way.
'The fact that humans can repel the White Walkers is all due to Viserys and his dragon. Otherwise, I have almost seen the end of the world coming. The other hundreds of thousands of coalition troops, including countless soldiers who died, are all
foil.'
'The dragon symbolizes strength and ambition, growing at an alarming rate every year, and Viserys is only seventeen or eighteen years old this year.'
The manager of the Iron Bank wrote the letter using his truest feelings, but he did not expect that it would aggravate the anxiety of the top brass in Braavos.
They believe that obtaining the dragon and mastering this power is an urgent matter that must be carried out.
They used the faceless men to ensure the successful implementation of this plan. They also tried to frame Volantis because their interest in dragons was written on their faces, but they did not expect the other party.
Instead of being fooled, I found them easily.
"what to do?"
"If we hand over the baby dragon now, will he let us go?"
The Sea King of Braavos said with a gloomy expression, and Cleon was immediately speechless. Based on his understanding of Viserys, this kind of thing would definitely not be forgotten so easily.
"The young dragons are the hope of Braavos."
"He must not hand over the baby dragon, unless he can find where the baby dragon is hiding."
Then Ferrego Antalion gritted his teeth and said.
"Try to shoot this man with a giant crossbow. If you can't succeed, trick him down."
Then Neptune glanced at Quiro Valentine, and the chief swordsman's expression suddenly became slightly stern. He understood and nodded.
"Understood, Lord Neptune."
However, while the three of them were plotting countermeasures in the Neptune Palace, the roar of a giant dragon suddenly sounded above their heads.
