Chapter 196 The Unsullied

The matter of the wine merchant was just a small episode in Viserys' entry into the city of Pantos.

When Viserys and his party came to Illyrio's courtyard, 'Little Flay' Rams, who had been following him before, disappeared for some time.

Disappearing in this huge city-state with many people, it is like a drop of water falling into the sea, perfectly integrated into it.

Naturally, Illyrio didn't notice that there were a few less people in Viserys' team, and warmly greeted Viserys to enter his house.

Viserys dismounted and handed the reins to a soldier in light armour with a dagger around his waist and a spiked helmet.

The soldier's movements are simple and powerful, and his eyes have no other color, like a precision machine without emotion.

"Um?"

Viserys glanced at the soldier curiously. He remembered that he had not seen such a soldier the last time he came to Illyrio's courtyard.

it seems to be

Viserys felt a little familiar and almost blurted out.

"The Unsullied."

And the big-bellied rich merchant governor hummed down from the carriage, and then saw Viserys take a few more glances at his guards, and then explained.

"It's the first time you saw it?"

"But I think it's true. These guys who don't have a 'long sword' are all from Astapor, which is a bit far from Andalos."

Illyrio opened his mouth and laughed.

"So they are the Unsullied."

And Viserys' eyes showed some surprise, he just thought of it, but he still couldn't recognize it.

This is an army that is famous on the Essos continent. The Unsullied Legion does not know how many miracles in the history of war have been created. Even if they have never seen it, almost everyone knows that the Unsullied are the best. Soldier.

Because these slave warriors were brutally eliminated from childhood, only one-third of all slave children were able to pass years of dehumanizing training.

In the end, he became a true Unsullied, completely abandoned a human emotion and became a pure killing machine.

They will unconditionally carry out the master's order, even if they let them chop off a hand on the spot, or wipe their necks without hesitation.

These Unsullied warriors have few downsides other than being expensive.

However, the high price is not the fault of the Unsullied warriors, but the wealthy merchants who want to buy these warriors to protect themselves have insufficient pockets.

Then Viserys took another look at the soldier's back.

The other party led his war horse to the place where the horses were stored outside the courtyard, and then meticulously tied the rope, as if he hadn't heard what Illyrio said.

Then Viserys looked away.

"really not bad."

"As expected of the famous Unsullied."

This kind of elite soldier Viserys looks a little jealous, and it is almost impossible to achieve such an effect with regular training.

And Illyrio was still laughing, his yellow beard trembling and his expression a little smug. The Unsullied warriors came to visit the home and nursing the home, which was almost the highest standard of defense.

A few days ago, a governor of Pantos was killed in the manor outside the city. The guards he brought didn't even realize that his master had been tortured to death for the first time.

When these slave guards finally discovered all this, they did not choose to notify others, but fled away in a hurry.

Because the governor still has a family, if his family finds out that the governor died because of their negligence, I am afraid they will not be able to live, so these slaves all rush away and want to escape.

However, before they escaped for two days, these slaves were all captured and buried alive to accompany the tragically dead governor.

Therefore, after this incident, all the rich businessmen of the governors of Pantos are in danger.

At this time, Illyrio also purchased a group of 100 Unsullied people to strengthen the security of his courtyard to prevent the re-engraving of such a tragedy. After returning to Pantos, he sold it to other governors at a higher price.

Astapor stipulates that the purchase of the Unsullied can only be divided into integer units such as one hundred and one thousand, because they need to use a command scepter to order, and all the Unsullied are trained to recognize only the scepter and not the person. After getting the scepter, they may not hesitate to even order them to turn around and kill their master.

"If you're interested, I'll send you two when you leave Pentos."

With a wave of his hand, Illyrio gave Viserys two Unsullied, and though the Unsullied were expensive, he could afford two.

"No need."

And Viserys shook his head slightly.

The two Unsullied were useless, and they were not even as good as two battle-hardened mercenaries, otherwise they would not have suffered a lot of casualties in the face of the Harpy's Son.

However, fighting alone is indeed not the correct way for the Unsullied to use. When they form a legion, the true strength of the Unsullied will be exerted.

This kind of bravery is not afraid of death, no matter how terrible the situation is, it does not change its face, still maintains the formation, and even when the last soldier dies, he can still bravely raise his spear and charge towards the enemy.

This is where they are most terrifying.

"Please."

"Please."

Then Viserys and Illyrio came to the parlor.

A blond-haired little maid brewed tea, gave Viserys a sneak peek, her cheeks flushed crimson, and then ran away.

There was nothing unexpected about this situation. Viserys had long been used to it. He glanced at the back of the girl shyly running away, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the wealthy business governor before speaking.

"Lord Illyrio, what do you mean by that sentence you just said in front of the city gate?"

Viserys did not continue to chat with Illyrio, but asked directly.

And Illyrio heard that Viserys didn't make any ambiguity and nodded and went straight to the topic, and his greasy and fat cheeks gradually became serious.

"Well maybe you don't know."

"His Majesty."

Illyrio's voice was hoarse, his small eyes were full of seriousness, and he even lowered his voice subconsciously when he spoke.

"Some of the governors of Pantos are malicious to you now."

He admitted it all, beyond Viserys' expectations.

"Um?"

And Viserys raised his eyebrows slightly.

He didn't expect this, he thought Illyrio would pretend to be confused.

After all, no matter how close he is to Targaryen, he is the governor of Pentos after all, which involves his fundamental interests.

However, Illyrio sold his teammates directly like this?
