The governors of Lys were exchanging glasses of wine to celebrate the victory of the war, and they were all very drunk.
However, at this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from outside. Everyone present shuddered and woke up from the wine they had just drank.
Because the young and handsome blond Governor Reese, who was also the number one hero of this war, suddenly stood up and drew the sword from his waist.
"Hey, kid!"
"What do you want to do?"
The other white-haired Governor Reese stood up with trembling hands on the table and scolded him unceremoniously.
Although Humphry Hightower was the number one hero of this war, he single-handedly contacted Salladhor Saan, the pirate prince of Myr, and personally directed the battle.
With the help of the Myr people, the combined forces of Lys and Myr finally defeated the Lord Tyrosh, shattering his opponent's ambition to unify the Kingdom of the Three Daughters.
But even though Humphrey Hightower had made such a great contribution, the other Governor Reese did not actually think highly of him because of this.
One is because the other party is too young, and the other is that the Hightower family has lost its foundation and was destroyed by the Iron Throne. It is a wanderer who fled to Lys to survive.
If one day the Emperor of the Valyrian Empire asks the Lysians to hand over Humphry, they will probably kidnap and sacrifice him without hesitation.
Therefore, Governor Reese had more or less bullied Humphrey in business before. After all, he was the youngest governor and he had no backer.
However, the blond young man who had always been forbearing and restrained did not choose to remain forbearing this time. Humphrey Hightower held a long sword with a sneer on his face.
“If fringe figures want to take over, someone at the core of power will have to give way.”
"This is common."
"Whether it's voluntary or not."
Although Humphrey Hightower is the newly appointed Governor of Lys, his life in Lys is not pleasant. The main reason is that the power among the Governors is not equal. There are relatively strong Governors and there are also relatively weak Governors.
.
Unfortunately, as a foreigner, Humphrey suffered a lot of ostracism in Lys's governor's council, and his brother-in-law Trigg O'Molon could not help him.
In fact, all the Governors of Reese here knew very well about these things, so as soon as they heard what the other party said, everyone understood.
"So you colluded with that treacherous robber?"
"Seeking advancement for a marginalized person like you?"
And the white-haired Governor Rees held his hand on the table and said with a sarcastic face.
"Huh, I've already told you that this kind of robber can't be trusted."
Another Governor Rees also spoke to help.
"Without this group of pirates, we wouldn't be able to win this war."
Humphrey Hightower's brother-in-law, Trigg O'Molon, shook his head when he heard this and said with a smile on his face.
At this moment, there was a lot of noise outside, with voices shouting for death everywhere. Guards had just come in to report, telling them that the pirate Salladhor Saan and his men were besieging Reese's military camp.
As for the fat and wealthy businessman Governor who struggled to sit in his chair, he looked harmless. Who would suspect this fat guy who struggled to walk?
And in fact, there is nothing wrong with what Trigg said. Without this group of pirates, the Lysians would not have been able to win this war, and the Tyroshians might have unified the Kingdom of the Three Daughters.
However, there are still other Governors of Lys who can't stand the fact that Trigg O'Molon can still have a smile on his face.
You must know that there is a war going on outside at the moment. Although this group of pirates may not be able to fight their way in, there is also Humphry Hightower, a boy who knows nothing about heaven and earth, as a mole among them.
"Trig, you are still able to laugh now?"
Others spoke uneasily. He always had a bad premonition, and kept looking at Humphrey Hightower, who was rising with his sword drawn. There was also a strange smile on his face, but he was sitting there.
On Trigg O'Molan, who had not yet stood up from the chair.
Their relationship was so well hidden that no one knew that Trigg O'Molen was Humphrey Hightower's brother-in-law.
"You know, we are all here now. What if we were all taken over by that pirate?"
Because this decisive battle is crucial, everyone gathered at the rear to supervise the battle at the request of Trigg O'Moron. On the other side, Lord Tyrosh also came to the battle in person. This was a battle that neither side could lose.
war.
If the Tyrosh side loses the war, they will lose the best opportunity in hundreds of years to unify the Three Daughters Kingdom region, and their vitality will be severely damaged, and they will be unable to recover, because they have invested too much in this war.
Can't stand failure.
On the other side, this is even more true for Reese and the rebuilt Mill. They both have reasons why they cannot lose.
Myr suffered a massacre by the Dothraki and the city was already rebuilt from the ruins. The Lord Tyrosh had been planning for a long time, and the Lysians were insufficiently prepared and prepared for the war. They responded hastily. If the coalition forces of Lys and Myr lose,
If the war is lost, it will be destroyed directly and unified by the Tyrosh.
Therefore, when the Governors of Reese gathered together, they never expected that there would be a mole around them.
Moreover, the mole teamed up with the pirate prince whom they despised from the bottom of their hearts, and after winning the war, they wanted to directly wipe out everyone present.
"Your ambition really gets the blood pumping, kid."
"You want to be King of Lys?"
"But there is no way to rule Lys with a bandit and a declining foreign noble like you."
And after the white-haired Governor Reese made sarcasm, he waved his hands contemptuously and said.
"The noble-blooded Lysians are not Westeros people. They will not believe your tricks of lords and nobles."
"And your bandit friend hasn't invaded yet. Even if he can invade, I'm afraid you will die here first."
However, Humphrey Hightower, who was ridiculed by the Governors of Rees, was not angry either.
The blond-haired young governor held a long sword in his hand. The guards around him also held their weapons nervously, but he himself seemed very calm and had no awareness of being surrounded.
"Yes, I will most likely be dead before Salladhor Saan breaks in."
Humphrey showed no fear and still sneered twice and said.
"But I will not be the king of Lys, nor do I want to be the king of Lys."
"oh?"
On the other side, the elderly Governor Rees was slightly startled when he heard this.
He did not understand that Humphry Hightower went to great lengths and paid a huge price, even giving up his position as Governor of Lys and colluding with the great pirate Salladhor Saan, if not to further become the king of Lys, then
