Chapter 189 Heroic Soul Fort

"Bessie."

After talking about the specific planning locations of the two castles, Viserys opened his mouth and said.

"His Majesty."

Hearing the king calling him, the iron-faced knight, who had been silent all this time, turned his head sideways, the smooth mask reflected the light of the metal under the light, and then spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Your First Legion is stationed here in Heroic Soul Fort."

"clear."

The legion commander, who was given the title 'Saint' by the soldier, did not hesitate at all, and he directly agreed without even frowning.

"His Majesty!"

When the others in the royal meeting heard Viserys' arrangement, their color changed suddenly, and even Melisandre, the priestess of the Red God, showed a slight puzzlement on her face.

They were not worried that Viserys sending out both legions would make the frontier strong and the center empty.

In fact, the two legions left Andalus, but Andalus's troops were not empty.

Viserys still held a considerable force in his hands, and in exchange for the power of Oberyn, two thousand city guards were now assigned to the old sergeant.

They worry about another problem.

"Won't this irritate Pantos too much?"

In addition to Bessie, in the eyes of others, Viserys' arrangement has almost put the sword around Pentos' neck, as if forcing Pentos to fall to the side of the Iron Throne.

What does His Majesty want to do?

The news that Rams had brought back from Pentos and Viserys had not been made public at the Imperial Council.

They just knew that Pantos had sent a letter not long ago inviting Viserys to visit Pantos to celebrate the arrival of the new year.

Pantos will hold a grand banquet at that time, and will also invite many distinguished guests to come and celebrate the city.

The days are not long now.

"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to warn Pantos not to act rashly through such a move?"

The old sergeant who wore the Prime Minister's Medal frowned and said.

If so, it makes sense.

As a kingdom, there are only two ways to deal with the unstable forces around it. One is to beat, and the other is to win over.

Viserys just chose the method of beating, but it seems that the money spent is not less than the cost of attracting, or even more. After all, the construction of Heroic Soul Fort is a big project.

If the construction can be completed, it will really become a strategic location, holding a lifeline of Pantos and Novos.

And in the future, if you want to attack Andalos from the Lorne River along the waterway, you need to cross this strong fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. From this point of view, this is definitely a wise move.

However, the idea is easy, and the money is worth it. However, the difficulty of Soul Fort lies in the pressure it bears and whether it can be successfully built.

After all, the threat of this castle to Pantos is too great, and Pantos will definitely not allow Andalus to start building a castle here.

East and West.

On the other side is a sentinel castle monitoring the sea, all of which can pose a serious strategic threat to Pentos.

If the construction is completed in the next few years, Andalos may at any time order the land and water to cut off all contact between Pantos and the outside world, and directly surround this heroic city into an isolated island.

"Shock? Warning?"

During the royal meeting, he whispered and speculated about the king's intentions in this arrangement. Melisandre's beautiful eyes were also rolling around Viserys, as if she wanted to know what he was thinking.

And Viserys put his hands on the table, his eyes swept over everyone present but did not rush to explain anything.

Then, when all the whispers were quiet, Viserys took out the piece of information that Rams had obtained and threw it on the table.

"Look at it all."

Although there has been a bachelor's incident, there is no other better way than to strictly guard against and use the Ministry of Internal Affairs to clear out spies.

The people present here are the people Viserys trusts the most, so this secret information was taken out.

Rams gave two possibilities in the intelligence summary.

The governors of Pentos are now divided into two factions.

One faction advocates appeasement and continues to give Viserys gifts to satisfy the greedy appetite of this evil dragon.

The other faction advocates an alliance with the Iron Throne to eradicate this possible threat in time.

At the same time, I heard that the three dragons of Targaryen are still in their infancy. If Viserys can be captured and threatened to hand over the three dragons, Pantos will have the confidence to tear up the unequal treaty and reorganize the fleet to find cloth. Lavos' revenge.

The two factions have their own reasons, but one is conservative and the other is radical. The two sides are evenly matched, and it is difficult to say who has the upper hand.

The governor who was murdered by Rams was a member of the conservative faction and stood on the side of Governor Illyrio, so the conservative faction is likely to be at a disadvantage now.

Ramsay's advice to Viserys was not to go to the celebration.

Because this is likely to become a case of "rat chef" trampling on the rights of guests.

This is a famous horror tale that's been around in Westeros long enough to make children famous, and it's about trampling on the rights of guests.

Ramsay used this story to remind Viserys that the governors like Pentos were also unscrupulous to get to this point.

There's a good chance that they had invited Viserys to Pentos and suddenly took control of him and asked him to hand over the dragon.

"what?"

And after this piece of information from Rams was read by all the people present, it immediately set off a storm.

"There is such a thing?"

Everyone could not believe that the governors of Pentos dared to trample on the rights of guests.

If they did this, Pentos would be discredited, and the guests under their own roof would be killed, a sin that the gods would never forgive.

"Pantos dares to do such a thing?!"

The old serge was furious, clenching his fists tightly.

However, if you think about it carefully, under such a powerful temptation as the dragon, it seems that these governors of Pantos really did irrational things. It is not impossible.

"Pantos is not a wise choice."

And Oberon also frowned slightly. If Pantos really fell to the side of the Iron Throne, the southern border of Andalos would naturally be under pressure.

Viserys made such a deployment, of course, is reasonable.

He mobilized the First Corps to be stationed in Gordojo, and built the Heroic Soul Fortress to guard against the surprise attack of Pantos.

"And actively trampling on the rights of guests, this is equivalent to."

Oberyn frowned, then raised his head to look at Viserys, and said abruptly.

"Then Pantos is here, is your Majesty still going?"
