Chapter 256

Then Viserys thought for a moment, then spoke.

"Jon, keep this a secret."

"Then tell the prince in ragged clothes and those families, who should pay the people, and the people who should pay the money."

Viserys spoke up.

The governor's family of Pantos was completely slaughtered, but there were still some rich merchant families who escaped and came back tremblingly after seeing that there was no follow-up.

After all, their assets, business, and the foundation of their ancestors are here. This can't be easily transferred away in a short time, so Viserys is not afraid that they will run away again when they know the news.

However, it was all taken advantage of by Viserys at this time.

Because Viserys believes that they also know very well that if Pentos is really captured by the Dothraki, it will be the real disaster.

I am afraid that something 100 times more terrifying than the "Scarlet Night" will happen, and it is not impossible for the city-state of Pantos to become history.

"clear."

And Jon Clinton nodded slightly.

He also personally commanded the war, and although the final result of the "Battle of the Bells" was the defeat of the royal army, the reasons for this were very complicated, and the crime of non-war cannot deny that Jon Clinton was an excellent commander.

In the end, Aerys II deprived the title and expelled Jon, which actually indirectly led to the tragic ending of the fall of King's Landing.

And then defending against the menacing Dothraki is Jon's moment to prove himself again.

Now when I think of these gray-red long-haired men, I can't even help my blood boil.

What he was waiting for was such an opportunity. Since he was expelled from King's Landing by the king, wandering in Essos Continent could only mingle with a mercenary group like the Golden Company.

Although Jon relied on his excellent ability, he commanded and won several battles and finally climbed to the position of the right hand of the commander Mies Toin.

However, Jon is still not satisfied with this. From frugality to luxury is easy, and from luxury to frugality is difficult.

After all, Jon Clinton once became the Earl of Gryphon Nest Castle and the Hand of the King when he was only a few years older than the current Viserys, and now he has been reduced to the commander of a mercenary regiment, how can he be reconciled?

Therefore, he led Rhaegar's son Aegon to Viserys, one to fulfill the honor and loyalty to return the prince, and the other to get a chance to prove himself again.

He is a failure, but he is not willing to fail.

He is not old yet, he is still in his prime.

And Viserys also seemed to be able to see the flames gradually burning in his heart from the face of the once father's king's hand.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, then said.

"In that case."

"Jon."

"You are the right-hand man I can rely on most in Pantos, and I still need to rely on you to do more in the next war."

Viserys could see the burning ambition in Jon's heart.

Everyone has their own ambitions, but everyone's pursuit is different.

Just as the Ragged Prince wanted to take power alone, Aegon wanted the approval of his uncle, and Jon craved honor and fame, and even power was secondary to him, and money was nothing.

Some people love power, some people are lustful, and some people want to be honored.

Although Viserys seems to be only sixteen years old, his ability to observe words and expressions is far beyond his apparent age, so he arranges a suitable position for Jon as he pleases.

As the king as the core of the Targaryen force, Viserys does not only need to pretend to be a girl every day, and it is enough to splurge.

The king of a country spends his time watching flowers and drinking, which simply cannot support a huge empire.

Especially the founding prince, Viserys' goal is close to rebuilding an empire.

On the contrary, there are still many things that he needs to consider, all aspects of which are meticulous, and he does not feel that there is anything wrong with his subordinates.

After all, nobody owed him anything, and neither did Jon.

Fully grasp the mental activities of each subordinate and the demands they want, so as to unite everyone and become an indestructible team and strength.

This is the experience that Viserys has gathered from his position in the previous life, and has used it today to make him a king who is "different" in the eyes of others.

Sure enough, Viserys's voice fell, and Jon's heart jumped violently, and then he raised his head and looked at Viserys.

Although Jon has experienced several ups and downs in his life, his heart has already become hard as iron, but I have to say that Viserys' words are just right, and they are still hitting the only softness in his heart.

There are emotions and feelings of disappointment.

Jon remembered what happened eight or nine years ago, and finally sighed.

"Your Majesty, your brother used to be a person just like you."

Then the man stood up, showing his true feelings and acting a little on the scene, he made a fist with one hand and hammered it heavily on his chest.

Then get down on one knee.

"I am willing to block the 80,000 Dothraki army for His Majesty's sake."

soon.

Another two months passed in a hurry.

The 80,000 Dosraki riders were heading towards the western world in a mighty manner, and there was no way to stop such a movement.

Although Viserys got the news a long time ago and strictly blocked the spread, the news gradually spread and became a buzz.

People have fled from Pantos to find another way out, and some people who cannot do without Pantos are also panicking, not knowing what the future will be like and whether Viserys can hold Pantos.

And the Targaryen family's army has been actively preparing for battle since a long time ago.

Jon Clinton did his best to give full play to the command and dispatch ability he once served as the Hand of the King.

A decree was handed out from his hands.

Gather food and grass, hoard kerosene, build weapons and equipment for city defense weapons, roll wood and stone trebuchets, reinforce city walls and temporarily hire a large number of mercenaries and wandering knights.

The Pantos city garrison has doubled in size.

And in the distant Gord.

The first legion stationed in the newly built Hero Fortress is also sending snow-like information to Pantos every day.

The Fortress of Heroes was built on the site of Gordo.

The building near the river and the mountains blocked all possibilities of invading the Andas Plain from the southeast. The geographical location was extremely important.

It was also out of this consideration that the Royna people chose to build a city here.

But now the five Kaa have joined forces with 80,000 Dothraki people, and the front line has already appeared within the control area of ​​the First Army.

More than 10,000 Andal soldiers of the First Corps, under the command of the regiment commander Bessie, shrunk the defense line and shrunk to a dangerous point that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The cloud of war gradually shrouded the land.
