Game of Thrones: Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Chapter 693: Reese Governor's Council

In the early morning of the next day, a raven flew to the western border of the empire by Grand Maester Marwyn.

Mies Toin, the former head of the Golden Corps and the governor of the Western Territory, is about to take office as the fourth former Prime Minister.

On the other side, the Imperial Fleet on the other side of the Narrow Sea left Tyrosh, lined up and sailed to their next stop.

Reese.

However, the news of the arrival of the Imperial Fleet in the city of Reese caused a burst of panic, because a rumor had spread throughout Reese not long ago.

The content of the rumor is that Asha Greyjoy, the envoy of the Iron Throne, encountered a well-planned assassination in Tylosi. If the envoy of the Iron Throne was not lucky enough, he might have died in Tylosi. The mastermind of the assassination was Reese's Council of Governors.

Because Reese and Tyroshi are now at war with each other, the two sides have reached the brink of war regarding the sovereignty of the disputed land.

The people of Lys hope to assassinate the envoy of the Iron Throne, sow discord between the Iron Throne and Tyrosh, and then get the support of the empire to successfully monopolize the disputed land.

However, the Lysians were self-defeating. Instead of assassinating Asha Greyjoy, they even let the Tyroshis find out the truth.

Now Maharaja Tyroshi is dispatching troops and actively preparing supplies. At the same time, he has signed treaties with several mercenary regiments. The entire city-state has entered a state of war. Warships are densely packed in the port. It seems that troops are about to attack Reese. The war between the two sides Instantly.

And the Imperial Fleet just happened to visit Reese at this juncture, so it's hard not to let people's imaginations run wild.

After all, there are 2,000 elite imperial soldiers who have fought wars of conquest on the fleet. If there is a sudden attack, even the trading city-states will suffer heavy losses.

Reese is one of the nine free trade city-states. It is located on the southern coast of Essos, southeast of Tylos and west of Volantis.

It is a city built on rocks, surrounded by stormy seas. At the same time, the entire city-state spans several islands. It is composed of a main city port and several prosperous satellite islands, where singing and dancing are also flourishing.

However, at this moment in the governor's council in Rees.

Twelve governors of Rhys sat around a huge round conference table. Some of them were fat, some were thin, and their ages were different from young to old. Standing behind them was their most loyal slave.

But there is no doubt that they all have blue eyes, platinum curly hair and fair skin. Even the elderly are well maintained, dressed exquisitely and decently, and look very gentle and polite.

Because the blood of the ancient Valyrian Freedom Fortress is still very strong on them, the closer you get to that land, the more you can see the Valyrian race.

"I received information from an informant that the Iron Throne's fleet is preparing to cooperate with Tyrosh's army to attack Rees."

At this moment, a young Governor Reese with light blond long hair spoke.

"The Iron Throne should not easily get involved in the war between Tyrosh and us."

Another Governor Reese, who was a little older and had gray hair but was still in good condition, said worriedly.

"But what if they have the so-called 'evidence'? Lord Harder."

And the young governor retorted without hesitation.

"We know we didn't, but the Tyroshi don't think so, and they convinced the Iron Throne emissaries to attack Lys."

"We must protect ourselves!"

"Everyone!"

The young Governor Rees stood up, and all the Governors present looked at each other, and then all raised their heads to look at each other, and one of them couldn't help asking.

"Lord Humphrey Hightower."

"Is there anything you can do?"

Humphry Hightower was the heir to the Hightower family in Old Town, the fourth and youngest son of Earl Leighton Hightower.

He survived when Humphry Hightower fled to Lys by ship long before the Dornish army overran Oldtown last year.

And his three elder brothers all died in battle, and Humphrey Hightower became the sole heir of the Hightower family.

The young heir of the Hightower family fled to Rees, but he did not come empty-handed. He pretended as much as he could, and brought a lot of wealth from the Hightower family.

Relying on this massive wealth, Humphrey quickly gained a foothold in Rees, coupled with the secret care of people inside and outside, he merged and acquired several industries in one fell swoop, and finally became one of the youngest trade governors in Rees, qualified to enter the In the governor's council of Rhys.

Humphrey has gained a firm foothold in Reese, but he is a newcomer after all, so he doesn't have much voice in the governor's council.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, not to mention a place like the governor's council. Not every governor has the same right to speak, and it depends on the forces behind them.

But Humphrey was not discouraged. Instead, he hibernated and acted in a low-key manner until now he stood up and became the focus of everyone present.

"Of course, Lord Colom!"

When Humphrey heard another governor ask, he answered without hesitation, and it was obvious that he had already prepared a secret case.

The Hightower family and the Targaryen family had a deep entanglement, and the two parties had married several times in history, so the appearance of the governor of Humfrey also had a bit of a Valyrian shadow.

He has a handsome appearance, fair skin, blue eyes, and long light golden hair. He looks like an authentic native of Lys, and after more than a year, he has also learned to speak Valyrian, and there is no communication. any obstacles.

"I've already got in touch with Salado Sann."

"The pirate governor expressed his willingness to form an alliance with Reese to fight against the enemies from Tyrosh."

"He only seeks Reese's support for him to remain the same."

Salado Sann was the one who launched a coup d'état in Myr not long ago, killing two other governors supported by Tyrosh and Volantis, and the great pirate who dominated Myr.

He has a powerful fleet across the narrow sea under his command, as well as a large number of sailors who are familiar with naval warfare, so the pirate governor's willingness to help Reese will definitely become a strong support.

However, Humphrey Hightower's voice fell, and the pot immediately exploded in Reese's governor's council~www.novelmt.com~What? "

"It turned out to be this traitor!"

The face of the old governor who spoke first was full of anger.

"No! Definitely not!"

"He can betray Rees the first time, and he can betray us the second time!"

"That's right."

"Intolerable."

The rest of the governors of Rhys also echoed, but only Humphrey Hightower and a fat governor sitting opposite him remained silent.

They exchanged cryptic glances, and then parted.

But obviously they had expected such a reaction before.
