The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

Illyrio allowed other governors and officials to speak freely, and gradually the situation became clear. Although everyone did not say anything, they were inclined to surrender.

Aegon Targaryen VI assembled the warships and legions of Taloxi and Mill, and they have become very powerful.

The city of Pantos is very tall, and the walls are wide enough, mainly not for fighting people, but for defense.

The nine free trade city states are not really interested in war, but free trade.

In these free trade city-states, there are not many professional legions dedicated to them, so this is a paradise for mercenaries. The most powerful Golden Knights, with 10,000 soldiers and five hundred knights, can be nurtured in such an environment, have work, and make money.

The remaining few thousand mercenaries are even more numerous. The mercenary regiments with hundreds of thousands of people are even more numerous.

The archons in the city-states usually don't raise a large number of professional soldiers, because it costs money. If something happens, you can directly hire a mercenary regiment and you will be done. After the battle, you can pay and leave.

The mercenary regiment is also established with credibility, otherwise it will soon collapse and no one can be hired.

The three city-states of Rees, Mill, and Tylosi fought for the same piece of land for decades, all of which were hired mercenaries. As a result, the three parties are naturally at a standstill.

The only free trade city state with the strongest force is Valantis.

Valantis became rich because of the open trade in slaves and had the money to support his professional army.

Other free trade city-states can only secretly do slave trade, such as Pantos.

Because they are the closest to Braavos.

Braavos opposed the slave trade, and started a war with Pantos Mirristalsi at the same time, cutting off maritime transportation and trade. Braavos is the most powerful navy among the nine free trade city states, and the consul claims to be the sea king.

Valantis is the southernmost part of the mainland, and Braavos is the westernmost part of the mainland. Whether it is by water or land, they are far apart, and Braavos is beyond reach and can't control Valantis' slave trade.

Valantis rose up because of the slave trade, but he did not expect that the dragon lord Aegon Targaryen who emerged suddenly would grab the fruit. He borrowed 20,000 troops from Valantis and went all the way to the west, killing nothing. The prepared city of Rees destroyed the thousand-year-old city, and then sent troops north, threatening the officers and soldiers of the two free-trade city states to fight, but the people feared the dragon and feared that their homes would be burned down. The fishermen on the Western Islands are also afraid of war, because the dragon lord, regardless of whether you are a civilian or an officer, will be killed and burned. Under strong public opinion, Taloxi and Mill surrendered without a fight.

The killing of the people and the people was rarely seen in previous wars. Everyone asked mercenaries to fight with their own garrisons, but they rarely killed the people.

The unpopulated wasteland is something that every consul does not like to see. The purpose of fighting for territory is for profit, taxation and military resources, which requires the existence of the people.

Aegon was different, he chose to kill the unresistible people, and drove the dragon to set fire to the village and crops.

This made all the people fear him.

Aegon, who had assembled the power of Tyrosie and Mill, was beyond Pantos's resistance.

Illyrio looked at the anxious appearance of the officials and governors, but he didn't panic.

Aegon Targaryen is his biggest investment, and now his investment is beginning to see double dividends.

Aegon was trained by him and Varys to save and provide various supports for a long time. Whether it is money, things or people, it is all the credit of him and Varys.

The two people who raised and taught Aegon’s culture and martial arts-Jon Clinton and Sister Lady Lemore, were found by Varys and Illyrio. The duck and the killer were also persuaded by Illyrio to be loyal to Aegon.

Now that the child has grown up, he has become a dragon master, and has lived up to the expectations of Illyrio and Varys.

While Illyrio and other officials were discussing how to deal with Aegon, on the city streets of Pantos, a war horse ran across the street and came to the council hall.

This is a messenger.

Soon, the sound of horseshoes sounded outside the gate of the discussion hall, and the messenger jumped off his horse and went straight to the hall.

The guards did not stop, and the messenger's armor was pinned with a pass token given by the governor.

"Report to the Governor, Dragon Lord Aegon's letter."

The attendant quickly took the letter and handed it to Illyrio's hand respectfully.

Illyrio opened the letter and glanced at it, his expression unchanged.

The other officials held their breath, not knowing what fate this letter would bring to them.

"My lord, the messenger ship of the dragon lord Aegon has been anchored in the port. They have brought too many gifts, all kinds of exquisite works of art, gold jewelry, pearls and jade, silk cloth, and a boat of Reese beauty. These things are all Dragon Ball Aegon gave it to you, Lord Governor."

"Oh!" Illyrio said lightly.

The large and small officials in the hall couldn't believe it, they all thought they had heard it wrong. Because of the news that Aegon surrendered Tyrosie and Mill, everyone temporarily postponed the election of the virgin.

Just when everyone was panicking, the bloodthirsty and ruthless Dragon Ball Aegon sent a gift to Governor Illio.

"My lord, the messenger also said, please stay aside and don't move a step, and wait for them to pay tribute to the adults. Because there are too many things, they need to install a lot of carriages, and the speed is slow. Please forgive me."

"Okay, I see, tell them not to worry, just take their time." Illyrio said lightly.

"Yes, my lord. What else do you have to order?"

"No, the dragon lord Aegon suddenly sent someone to give a gift. I was not prepared, and I was negligent, and I asked the messenger not to care about it." Illyrio spoke politely, but his expression was not humble.

The messenger finished his salute and turned away.

boom!

The entire government affairs hall immediately rioted like a frying pan.

"Master Governor, what is your relationship with the Dragon Lord?"

"Your Excellency, why is the Dragon Lord so polite to you?"

"Your Excellency, what is going on?"

"Master Governor, the Dragon Lord will never go to war with Pantos, you knew it a long time ago?"

"Your Excellency..."

"Your Excellency..."

Illyrio slowly stood up and pressed his hands down: "My lord, the messenger of Aegon, the dragon lord, is here. Although he is humble and brought a lot of valuable gifts, we must not be too arrogant. We must immediately prepare for grace. The great singing and dancing and the sumptuous banquet must not insult the honor of Pantos. As for the war that the adults are most worried about, I assure you that the dragon lord Aegon will never target us Pantos when he conquered any free trade city-state. Because Pantos has me, Morpatis Illio."
