The sea breeze gently caressed his cheek and stirred the hair on the young man's forehead.
The Andalus army bypassed the Velvet Mountains and advanced along the roads taken by the merchants of the two cities of Andalos and Pentos on the coast.
The army meandered forward and climbed to the high hill. When they turned around, they could see the endless sea to their right, with soft sand and gentle sea breeze, looking at the waves that were rising one after another.
.
Viserys was surrounded by countless soldiers, holding the reins with one hand. He was currently riding a docile white little mare.
Viserys himself has two horses, one is a stronger and more active war horse, and the other is used for daily transportation and has a more docile personality, which is the one he is riding now.
The little king is riding a white horse, wearing a clean and tidy leather armor, a long sword on his waist, a snow-white velvet cape, and a black gold-rimmed cape with the Targaryen three-headed fire dragon emblem embroidered on the back.
Her long golden hair was spread out on the cloak.
Hua Hua Hua...
The army continued to march forward, and the messy horse hooves made a sound on the ground.
And the giant city that vaguely appeared in people's sight in front was getting closer and closer.
"Pantos is almost here, Your Majesty."
The wealthy merchant governor of Braavos, who was riding in a carriage, opened the curtain and spoke to the little king riding a horse beside him.
It's not that Illyrio is rude, but because of his size, riding a horse is indeed a kind of torture, both for the horse and himself.
"Um."
Viserys was riding on horseback, looking at the huge city-state in the distance, and nodded slightly.
Tap tap tap…
Then he pinched the horse's belly with his legs, urging the white horse under his crotch to continue to move forward.
…
The army of Andalos quickly approached Pentos, the chaotic sounds of footsteps and the sounds of horse hooves intertwined with each other, and the spears raised high became a forest of guns in the sun.
Wow...
The three-headed fire dragon flag fluttered in the wind and made a hunting sound.
boom--
Then Andalus' army stopped not far from the gate of Pentos and began to set up camp on the spot.
"what happened?"
"Did a war break out?"
The citizens of Pentos were frightened when they saw the army approaching outside the city. They were instantly in an uproar and panic, thinking that another war had broken out in Pentos.
"quick!"
"Quick! Close the city gate!"
The defenders of Pentos were relatively calm and did not panic too much. They clutched their weapons tightly and shouted loudly to close the city gate first.
Because they had received the news a long time ago, but even though they were prepared, there was still chaos at the city gate, and then they finally closed the gate with difficulty.
boom--
The gates of Pentos are finally closed.
"Pantos."
As for Viserys, who was sitting on the horse and saw this scene, his expression was as usual, his hair fluttering in the wind.
He was also looking up and down at this giant city-state, with tall city walls, solid city gates, tall square brick towers that could be seen from outside the city, huge red temples, and a palace on top of a nine-tower group.
Pentos is truly extremely rich.
But what surprised Viserys was that such a rich city-state would be so afraid of war, like a frightened bird.
He only brought 4,000 men, and if he wanted to attack Pentos, he couldn't even squeeze his teeth into it.
But even this made Pantos nervous to this point.
Could it be that Pentos is really scared of Braavos?
Viserys sat on horseback and observed this giant city-state for a long time, and then finally withdrew his gaze. The one hundred knights who were going to follow him into the city had already been selected, and at this moment they all rode out of the queue and surrounded them.
By his side.
Illyrio, the wealthy merchant governor of Pentos, ordered the carriage to move forward, and he wanted to go forward in person to let Pentos open the city gate.
It did not take long for the Governor to personally negotiate.
Squeak——
The city gate of Pentos finally opened again, but the gap was not large, allowing only two or three horses to pass side by side.
The defenders hid behind the city gate, clutching their weapons tightly, and looked outside, with some lingering tension on their faces. It seemed that at the slightest sign of trouble, the more than 4,000 people outside were trying to seize the city and quickly closed the city gate.
"Enter the city."
Viserys was not timid when he saw this scene. His black cloak was blown by the roaring sea wind outside the city gate, and his hair was blocked in front of his eyes. Then the little king waved his hand and urged the war horse to move forward.
One hundred knights following him also filed in through the narrow city gate and entered the city of Pentos.
Tap tap tap...
The horse's hooves made a soft sound on the bluestone road of this rich city-state. Viserys sat on the horse and finally entered the city of Pentos. He held the reins with one hand and looked at it curiously.
the surrounding scenery.
The citizens on both sides of the road in Pentos also looked at this group of uninvited guests from the outside world with some curiosity.
One hundred knights, all wearing helmets and armor, surrounded and protected the little king. The horses galloped forward through the bustling streets of Pentos and headed straight to the palace of Prince Pentos.
Viserys came to Pentos this time to attend this banquet.
"His Majesty."
Soon Viserys and the hundred knights accompanying him arrived in front of the prince's palace.
Illyrio accompanied him, and a waiter came to greet him. Viserys dismounted and handed the horse to a servant to take away.
While the other knights were stationed outside the palace, Bessie followed Viserys into the palace of Pentos.
"Your Majesty, please come this way."
The waiter guided Viserys, and Illyrio followed beside him. He was slightly out of breath because he walked too fast, and then turned his head to look at the little king and spoke.
"Welcome to Pentos, Your Majesty."
"What do you think of Pentos?"
The palace of Prince Pentos is extremely spacious and magnificent, with majestic carved stone pillars, and maids in simple and scanty clothes shuttle through it. A breeze blows through, revealing the charming eyes of Bai Huahua. There are marble floor tiles under your feet, and the walls on both sides are covered with exquisitely crafted paintings.
of tapestry.
Viserys was walking in the long corridor, looking at the prosperous and gorgeous halls around him, and then he looked away after hearing Illyrio's words.
"Pantos is certainly charming."
Viserys nodded and spoke concisely.
"Hahaha, that's natural."
"Pantos is honored to have your friendship."
Illyrio laughed heartily, but his words seemed to mean something.
"Um?"
Viserys heard Illyrio's words and glanced sideways at him, but did not continue the sentence.
