Chapter 209 Surrounding

Thirty years ago that man defected. Left Pantos.

Full of resentment against the governor and his family, he fled far from his homeland to a place of controversy.

I heard that in order to survive, this pampered aristocratic young master was forced to pick up a long sword to fight, and he moved several mercenary groups and muddled together, living in dirty bridges and ditches.

The governors of Pentos didn't take him seriously at that time either.

After all, there is no way for an ant to make the elephant pay attention to it all the time, and no one thinks that he will cause any trouble, so he simply ignores him.

Later, the then-governors of Pantos temporarily selected another poor fellow from the Forty Family to take his place and became the puppet on the ivory and golden throne.

Enjoy glory and wealth.

The governors thought that the man who escaped might die in some inconspicuous corner and would not be able to return to his hometown in this life.

However, no one thought of good fortune to make people.

The prince who escaped on the eve of his appointment was forced to take up his sword to fight for his life and tossed around several mercenary groups. After that, he had a certain prestige and a small team willing to follow him.

So he broke away from the mercenary group he used to stay and established a new mercenary group with five partners.

Then the newly established mercenary group, led by the prince who fled at the beginning, won many battles, and its power gradually expanded.

It took ten years to grow into one of the most important forces in the disputed land, with a full two thousand brave warriors.

And it wasn't until this time that the governors of Pentos paid attention to this man again.

But 30 years have passed, and the governors who once ruled are now few and far away, most of them have turned into loess, and even the few who are still alive have long since resigned, lying on the hospital bed with their last breaths.

Although the new generation of governors have heard of the title of the defecting prince, they do not know the other side's footsteps. At the same time, because the time interval was too far, the new generation of governors did not take each other too seriously. In their view, this person was just a little bug who was lucky enough to be blessed by fate.

Although the other party kept saying that one day he would return to his hometown in an upright manner, but thirty years later, he did not even dare to step through the door of Pantos.

But now... except for those few insiders, who would have thought that this name would be mentioned again at this time.

The words of Governor Santos immediately caused an uproar in the banquet hall.

"What? Viserys colluded with the Windbreaker?"

"Is that the guy who defected thirty years ago?"

"Prince in ragged clothes?"

"Yes, it's him."

Many governors were dazed and surprised when they heard the thunder-like news, and then couldn't help but whisper to the people beside them, it seemed that they had just learned the news.

Only a few governors knew that the wind blowing group had mixed into Pentos.

And it was secretly received through some channels only a few hours before the festival tour of the city.

It was already dark by that time.

At the same time, these few well-informed governors only knew the news and did not understand how serious the situation was. They just thought that there was just a group of mercenaries from the wind blowing group.

The relationship between the governors is not so harmonious, even now they are regarded as radicals, who advocate for Viserys to force him to hand over the dragon.

However, before this incident, these governors who are still considered a faction are actually still enemies of mutual hatred, and it is not bad not to stab them in the back.

Therefore, the news of the wind blowing into Pentos did not spread widely among the governors.

The speaking governor of Santos, who was more powerful in the city-state, was one of those in the know.

Governor Santos's words completely detonated the silence in the banquet hall. All the governors were whispering, and the servants and guards who were also in the hall couldn't help but look at each other.

At this time, more and more servants and soldiers came in from outside the hall door.

These people are the guards and servants carried by the various governors, and they all come in to deliver news to their masters.

bang bang bang...

After walking in in a hurry, they lied in the ears of their respective masters and told them the current situation of the outside world.

Then the expressions of these governors suddenly changed.

"what?"

"how so?"

As for the conservative governors, including Illyrio, sitting on the left of Prince Pantos, none of the domestic servants came in to tell their masters what happened outside.

The conservative governors were also whispering. They didn't know what was going on outside, but looking at the faces of the governors opposite, it seemed that it wouldn't be a good thing.

"How come no one came in..."

And Illyrio seemed to sense some kind of danger at this time.

He clenched his fist slightly, turned his small eyes and glanced left and right, and then whispered a few words to a servant beside him.

"Understood, Master."

Then the servant hurried down the stairs and walked towards the door of the hall.

Illyrio stared closely at the servant, and when he saw that he walked out of the door smoothly, he was slightly relieved.

However, just when he breathed a sigh of relief, a small scream suddenly came from outside the hall, which can only be heard if you pricked up your ears and listened carefully.

It was as if someone suddenly covered his mouth from behind and stabbed a dagger into his throat, and then the screams stopped abruptly.

Illyrio's face changed suddenly.

And at this time.

Tread…

A soldier in armor with a spear walked in outside the door of the banquet hall.

There was a short sword hanging from his waist. Although it was well concealed, there seemed to be a faint trace of blood on the cuff.

Then the soldier closed the gate of the palace as if nothing had happened, and withdrew himself and locked it from the outside.

click -

The crisp sound of the lock was not so noticeable in the cacophony of the old Governor's words.

There was still chaos in the hall.

And outside.

The soldier with blood stains on his body locked the hall after walking out, and then nodded to his colleagues beside him.

"Um."

And the servant sent by Illyrio.

At this moment, his body was dragged by two soldiers to the grass in the palace garden not far away.

The dragging left a long bloodstain on the ground.

Dark night.

It is now the manta time of the first day of the new year.

And outside the door of the banquet hall.

Beneath the flaming torches, a handful of icy weapons reflected a dazzling light.

"This way!"

"hurry up!"

Rows of soldiers in armor had long been ready, and the palace was surrounded by water from the outside.
