Chapter 87 Pantos
huh~
The sea breeze caressed his cheeks and ruffled the hair on the boy's forehead.
The army of Andalus bypassed the Velvet Mountain and followed the road that the merchants of the two cities of Andalos and Pentos had taken along the coast.
The army snaked forward and boarded the high hill. When they turned their heads, they could see the endless sea on their right hand side, with soft sand grains and a gentle sea breeze, watching the waves that were not flattened after another. .
Viserys was surrounded by soldiers, clutching the reins with one hand, and he was now riding a docile little white mare.
Viserys himself had two horses, a stronger and more active warhorse, and the other, which he used for his daily walks, with a more docile character, which was the one he was riding now.
The little king rode on a white horse, wearing a clean and tidy leather armor, a long sword on his waist, a snow-white fluff cape, and a black gold-edged cape embroidered with the coat of arms of the three Targaryen three-headed dragons hanging on his back. Long golden hair spread out over the cape.
wow wow wow...
The army continued to move forward, and the messy horses' hooves stepped on the ground and made a sound.
And the giant city looming in front of people's line of sight is getting closer and closer.
"Pantos is almost here, Your Majesty."
The rich merchant governor of Pantos, who was riding in a carriage, opened the curtain and said to the little king who was riding a horse beside him.
It's not that Illyrio is disrespectful, but that riding a horse is indeed a torture for his size, both for the horse and himself.
"Um."
And Viserys looked at the huge city-state in the distance on horseback, and nodded slightly.
tao tao…
Then his legs tucked into the horse's stomach, urging the white horse under his crotch to continue rushing forward.
…
The Andalos army soon approached Pantos, the chaotic footsteps and horseshoes were intertwined, and the spear was raised high and became a forest of guns in the sun.
wow...
The three-headed fire dragon flag fluttered in the wind.
boom--
Then the army of Andalus stopped not far from the gate of Pantos and began to set up camp on the spot.
"what happened?"
"Has war broke out?"
And the citizens of Pantos were really frightened when they saw the approaching army outside the city, and they instantly panicked, thinking that Pantos had another war with the outside world.
"quick!"
"Quick! Close the gate!"
The defenders of Pantos were relatively calm and not too panicked, clutching their weapons tightly, and then shouting loudly to close the city gate first.
Because they had received the news a long time ago, but even if they were prepared, there was still chaos at the city gate.
boom--
The gates of Pentos were finally closed.
"Pantos."
And Viserys sat on horseback and saw this scene as usual, his hair fluttering in the wind.
He also looked up and down this giant city-state, with tall city walls, strong city gates, square brick towers that could be seen from outside the city, and huge red temples, palaces on top of nine towers.
Pantos is really rich and oily.
But what surprised Viserys was that such a rich city-state would be so fearful of war, like a frightened bird.
He only brought 4,000 people, and if he wanted to attack Pantos, he couldn't even plug his teeth.
But even that made Pantos nervous to such an extent.
Could it be that Pentos has really been scared by Braavos?
Viserys sat on horseback and observed the giant city-state for a while, then finally withdrew his gaze. And the 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 crowded around him.
And Illyrio, the rich merchant governor of Pantos, ordered the carriage to move forward, and he wanted to personally go forward to let Pantos open the city gate.
It didn't take too long for the Governor to go out and negotiate in person.
squeak-
The gate of Pantos finally opened again, but the gap was not too big, and only two or three horses were allowed to pass side by side.
The defenders were hiding behind the city gate, clutching their weapons tightly, and looking out, there was some undissipated tension on their faces.
"Into the city."
And Viserys was not timid when he saw this scene, the black cloak was blown by the howling sea wind outside the city gate, and the hair was blocked in front of him. Then the little king waved his hand and urged the horse to move forward.
A hundred knights who followed him also filed through the narrow gate and entered the city of Pentos.
Step on.
The horse's hoof made a soft sound as it stepped on the bluestone road of this rich city-state. Viserys sat on horseback and finally entered the city of Pantos. With one hand on the reins, he also looked curiously at the the surrounding scenery.
The citizens on both sides of Pantos Road also looked at this group of uninvited guests from the outside with some curiosity.
One hundred knights, all wearing helmets and armor, surrounded and protected the little king, and the horses galloped forward through the bustling streets of Pantos, and went straight to the palace of Prince Pantos.
Viserys had come to Pantos this time for this banquet.
"His Majesty."
Soon Viserys and his hundred knights came to the palace of the prince.
Accompanied by Illyrio, an attendant came to greet him, and Viserys dismounted and handed the steed to the servant to lead away.
While the rest of the knights were stationed outside the temple, Bessie followed Viserys into the palace of Pentos.
"Your Majesty, this way please."
The waiter guided Viserys, and Illyrio followed him, slightly out of breath because of the haste, then turned his head to look at the little king and said.
"Welcome to Pentos, Your Majesty."
"What do you think of Pentos?"
The palace of Prince Pantos is very spacious and magnificent, with towering carved stone pillars, and maids dressed in simple and revealing shuttles. brocade.
And Viserys walked in the long corridor, looking at the prosperous and rich halls around him, and then he withdrew his gaze after hearing Illyrio's words.
"Pantos is indeed charming."
Viserys nodded and said succinctly.
"Hahaha, that's natural."
"Pantos is also honored to receive your friendship."
And Illyrio was laughing, but the words seemed to mean something.
"Um?"
Viserys heard Illyrio's words and glanced sideways at him, but did not take the next sentence.
