Chapter 205
The governors are not monolithic, as Viserys has long known.
If they can unite, I am afraid that Pantos is not what he is now.
Not to be bullied by Braavos to this extent, but they spent too much energy on infighting.
"OK OK."
"There are distinguished guests here, don't let our friends see jokes."
Another governor sitting on the right half opened his mouth to smooth things out.
He also glanced at Burn Rupert at the same time, and their eyes flickered, and then warned.
"Byrne, watch your words."
"Humph--"
The Governor of Red Wine snorted coldly, but didn't say much.
One sings the red face, the other sings the white face?
Viserys saw the expressions on their faces, but raised his glass to the governor who had opened his mouth.
…
There is intrigue in the prince's palace, intrigue.
Outside the palace, in the city of Pentos, the joyous atmosphere continued.
New Year's Day is very important to Pantos, they will consecrate a virgin by Prince Pantos himself, and then dedicate it to this land and sea, praying for good weather in the coming year.
If the prayer fails, the new year Pentos loses the war or the banker fails, then the Pentos will not think it is the fault of the gods.
But the prince of Pantos did not do it well on New Year's Day, which angered the gods.
So they cut the throat of the prince who presided over the sacrificial ceremony to appease the wrath of the gods, and then elect a new prince.
tonight.
Pantos incarnates as the city that never sleeps, with lights everywhere, and the streets are crowded with people.
Even the most demanding wealthy businessmen will reward their employees and slaves at this time and give them a day off.
And in the largest port of Pantos, a large ship was also hung with lights.
wow-
The waves beat constantly on the sand.
Even the cold of winter cannot dispel people's body temperature and the atmosphere of festive celebration.
And in the city of Pantos, in an unremarkable inn.
The atmosphere here is somewhat out of tune with the outside world.
In a room, several mercenaries in disguise were wiping their weapons.
They have all been mixed into the city of Pentos until the signal appears, and then they gather to kill the prince's palace and take out the governors of Pentos.
"I have liked that woman for a long time. When her husband is killed, she will be mine."
A middle-aged mercenary with a beard on his chin and lips sat on the bed and wiped his sword, and he was also wearing armor.
On the other side, the companion who lived with him in the same room heard his words and sneered a few times in a low voice.
"I remember you only saw that woman yesterday."
"Will."
"And you've talked to people and haven't talked to you yet, even if you've been interested in it for a long time?"
The person who spoke was the 'straw' Dick in the wind blowing group.
And Will and he are fellow countrymen, both from Westeros, and Will is called 'Will from the Woodland'.
"Humph."
Will snorted.
"I don't know how to lift things up."
"I didn't tell you that before? When I was in King's Landing, there was a coat of arms with a lightning symbol on it."
"Um."
And Dick, who was sitting on the other bed, nodded.
"That bitch on the boat is screaming louder than mother Merris."
Will continued to show off.
"Ah--"
Dick shrugged slightly disdainfully when he heard Will bring up his past again.
Will once abducted a noble lady of King's Landing, and the promise of the longevity and the fair face of Will at that time was indeed much better than her husband's shivering old man when he went to the toilet.
However, the woman who was tricked into the ship didn't seem to have a good end other than being satisfied by Will.
Eventually the ship reached Mill, and then the poor noble lady was sold to a brothel by Will for two golden dragons. I don't know if she is still alive.
Will has mentioned this a few times.
Some of the members of the regiment despised Will's conduct, while more took it lightly and listened to it as a joke.
Anyway, these people in the mercenary group should not blame anyone, everyone is scum.
And when the members of the wind blowing team in the room were preparing.
There was a sudden screeching noise from outside the inn.
"Um?"
"what happened?"
Will from the woodland frowned, then looked at another companion who had been silent.
"Ali."
"Go out and see what's going on."
This companion named Ali is a mercenary from Mill. He has the shortest time to join the wind blowing group among the few people present. Naturally, his qualifications are not as good as those of the big brothers. He is also the role of serving tea and pouring water on weekdays.
But on the battlefield he was saved by Will.
"Um."
"Fine."
Ali shrugged nonchalantly, a little helpless to Will's caution.
He felt that there should be no problem, the Pentos were not at all prepared for their arrival.
Then the young Mir swordsman opened the door and walked out, just about to ask something.
Then I saw a group of Pantos' garrison coming from the other end of the corridor.
They saw that Ali's face suddenly changed, and then they pulled out the sword from his waist.
Chong…
When the mercenary from Myr saw the garrison of Pantos, his heart suddenly tightened.
"Oops."
He was just about to try to pretend to be foolish to get through, but looking at the appearance of the other party now, it seems that he is coming for them.
It's almost impossible to get away with it.
"It's been revealed!"
Ali's face changed greatly, and then he also drew his long sword, and warned his companions in the room loudly.
"Run away!"
When the guards on the other side of the corridor saw this scene, they sped up their pace and rushed towards this side.
"stop!"
"Don't run away!"
Then a sword slashed.
However, as a mercenary, Ali was naturally more experienced in combat than these rotten garrison teams. With a sword, Ali suddenly shrank his neck.

Pantos' soldiers slashed at the wooden railing of the corridor on the second floor of the inn with a sword, and the sawdust flew and the railing was cut off.
The other two mercenaries in the room, Dick and Will, are naturally old fritters, otherwise they won't hear a little trouble and let Ali come out to take a look.
Hearing the warning from their companions, the two mercenaries looked at each other.

Immediately, he kicked open the window blocked by the wooden board, and then jumped down from the second floor to the top of the stable below.
boom--
The roof of the stable collapsed in an instant, and the horses tied inside were frightened and neighed in horror.
And the wind didn't know when it leaked, and now the inn is surrounded by Pantos' garrison team.
Seeing someone jumped down from the second floor, he immediately rushed over like a group of vicious dogs.
"stop!"
"Kill them!"
When the two old mercenaries of the wind blowing regiment saw this scene, their scalps felt a little numb.
"Bad thing!"
They knew that this was definitely not an accident and that the news must have been leaked, otherwise there would not be so many guards coming to arrest them.
"It seems that the boss's plan this time is going to be bad"
However, at this moment, they have no time to worry about the prince in ragged clothes, so they can only boldly fly away.
The two just glanced at each other and then without the slightest hesitation, armed with long swords in their hands, they drilled directly into the small alley in two ways.
