Chapter 86: Guards

　　 Although Bessie knows that the dragon egg is extremely important to Viselis, they still haven't figured out Pantos' true purpose.

　　 How did the little king have such courage, and promised to go to the meeting alone?

　　 "Your Majesty, do you want to think again..."

　　 However, Veserys waved his hand and interrupted what Bessie wanted to say.

　　 "It's okay."

　　 "Just what needs to be considered when going to a banquet, I believe in the reputation of the Governor."

　　 Veserys spoke in a calm voice.

　　 "I only need to bring some personal protection."

　　 Then the little king turned his head and looked at Illyrio, and then spoke.

　　 "How about, Governor-sir?"

　　 And Illyrio stood there and blinked slightly, seeming to be in a daze.

　　 He didn't expect that Viselis didn't even hit a knock. Even if he agreed to the invitation to Pantos, he thought that he might need to spend more time talking.

　　 Is this young king so courageous?

　　 Illyrio suddenly felt that Visiris could lead the family out of the previous dilemma and start the current situation, perhaps relying on more than luck.

　　Although he had no evil intentions towards Viserys, it was the common will of several other governors to invite the little king to Pantos, and they all wanted to meet this Targaryen heir.

　　 In fact, since Andalus began to rise, the Governors of Pantos have fallen into this newly built small city, and then observe carefully. I watched it gradually grow and become a powerful force that is close to Pantos and cannot be ignored.

　　 Even on the road to the rise of Andalus, there are some small help from Pantos to help the city develop rapidly.

　　 And the reason why Pantos did this little action may not be known to anyone except these governors.

"sure!"

　　 Then the Governor of Pantos nodded immediately. Now that Viselis agreed, everything is easy.

　　 "Your Majesty, please rest assured, Pantos respects the rights of guests as much as possible."

　　 "It is a heinous crime in Pantos to murder a guest at a banquet, and even the gods will not forgive it."

　　 Illyrio's chest slapped, assuring Viselis.

　　 But then he thought of something, and then asked.

　　 "Hey, right... Your Majesty."

　　 "How many people did you just bring some guards?"

　　 Viselis just said that this trip will bring a ‘a little bit’ of personal soldiers as protection, but from Illirio’s point of view, there are only six or seven people, and no more than a dozen people at most.

　　 This time he ran so far in the carriage this time, but only brought fifty soldiers with him.

"right."

　　 However, Veselis nodded calmly when he heard Ilirio's words, and then spoke.

　　 "My soldiers are about four thousand men."

"How many?!"

　　 The governor of Pantos almost didn't jump up when he heard Visiris's words. The four thousand little kings came to attend the appointment or came to attack the city?

　　Although more than four thousand people can't defeat Pantos, it takes at least tens of thousands of elite soldiers and equipped with siege weapons to attack a giant city like Pantos.

　　 However, if Visiris led an army like this, he would undoubtedly cause panic to the citizens of Pantos.

　　 Seeing the expression on Illyrio's face, Viselis shrugged slightly.

　　 "The Governor-General doesn't believe it?"

　　 Then the boy turned his head and asked Bessie.

　　 "Bessie, are my guards four thousand?"

　　 While the young knight standing next to the throne held the hilt in one hand, he was slightly relieved when he heard the words behind Viselis. It seemed that the little king had not lost his composure.

　　 Now that Bessie knows that Viselis is very brave, he dared to go to Braavos alone when he was young.

　　 But what he didn't know was that Viselis at that time was still like a frightened rabbit, and his face would pale in fright if he moved a little.

　　 Then Bessie held the hilt and nodded and said.

　　 "Yes, Your Majesty."

　　 "Your guards indeed have four thousand people."

　　 This involves the composition of Andalus' military power.

　　 Today, the city’s standing force for external warfare is more than four thousand brave and well-fighting Andal fighters, all of them nominally Visiris’s guards.

　　While the Longshidao navy is stationed in a remote port according to this, the traditional naval forces of Targaryen are not counted.

　　 3,000 or 4,000 sailors and navy were removed, and more than 4,000 valiant Andal warriors and guards who defended the basic city of Andalus were removed. There were about less than 2,000.

　　 For a city with a population of only 80,000 people, it is possible to piece together an army of close to 10,000 people. The ratio of population to soldiers has reached eight to one, which is already a very staggering number.

　　 If you don’t compare with nomads like the Dothraki, you can almost count as the whole people.

　　 And Veselis is now going to take away Andalus's most elite four thousand Andals warriors, and follow him to Pantos for the appointment.

　　 "Your Majesty, will there be too many guards for more than four thousand people?"

Illyrio saw that Visiris's face didn't seem to be joking, and then the big greasy face wrinkled like a bitter gourd~www.NovelMTL.com~ He understood that this was Viselis's unwillingness. Trust them.

　　 "Indeed, more than four thousand people is a bit too much."

　　 And Viselis stood in front of Illyrio, smashed his mouth slightly, then nodded and said casually.

　　 "Then how about I leave more than 4,000 people outside the city and only bring a hundred knights into the city?"

　　 "Of course this is fine!"

　　 Illyrio heard that Viselis changed his mouth and brought only a hundred knights into the city, and he was slightly relieved when he agreed.

"Um?"

　　 But as soon as his voice was uttered, the wealthy business governor was taken aback.

　　 He suddenly felt...Is he fooled?

　　 Veserys's original intention may be to bring a hundred elite knights into the city, so that even if he encounters danger, he may have some resistance. Even with the four thousand people outside, there is a certain chance to seize the door and escape, so that they won't be completely arrested.

"this..."

"All right."

　　 Illyrio’s chubby face showed a wry smile. He didn't expect Viselis to be brave and clever.

　　 "In that case, Pantos awaits your majesty's ride."

　　...

soon.

　　 A few days passed.

　　 toot——

　　 The long and desolate horn sounded, and the four thousand elite Andal fighters of Andalus came to camp.

　　 rumbling--

　　 The horses galloped, the flags fluttered, and the spears raised high, like a forest, reflected the cold light in the sun.

　　The soldiers guarded their king's right and left, marching toward Velvet Mountain, and pointed straight to the fertile bay pearl-Pantos.
