In the early morning of the next day, a raven flew to the west of the empire by the hand of Marvin, a scholar.

The former head of the Golden Regiment, Governor of the West, Mies Toin, is about to take up the post of the fourth former imperial prime minister.

On the other side, the imperial fleet on the other side of the narrow sea left Taloxi, lined up and sailed to their next stop.

Reese.

But the news of the arrival of the Imperial fleet in Rees caused a panic, because a rumor spread throughout Rees not long ago.

The content of the rumors is that Asha Greyjoy, the messenger of the Iron Throne, suffered a carefully planned assassination in Tylosi. If the messenger 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 is now at war with Tyrosi, the two sides have come to the brink of war regarding the sovereignty of the disputed land.

The Ries hope to assassinate the messenger of the Iron Throne, provoke the relationship between the Iron Throne and Taloxi, and gain the support of the empire to successfully monopolize the disputed land.

However, the Reese were self-defeating and instead of assassinating Asha Greyjoy, they let the Telothi find out the truth.

Now Maharaja Tylosi is dispatching troops to actively prepare 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 harbor. It seems that troops are about to be sent to attack Rees. The war between the two sides It's about to happen.

And the Imperial Fleet happened to visit Rees at this moment, and it was hard not to let people imagine it.

After all, there are two thousand elite imperial soldiers on the fleet who have fought conquer wars. If they suddenly attacked, even the trading city-states would suffer heavy losses.

Rees is one of the nine free trade city states. Its geographical location is located on the southern coast of the Essos mainland, southeast of Telosi and west of Valantis.

It is a city built on rocks, surrounded by seas with frequent storms. At the same time, the entire city-state spans several islands, consisting of a main city port and several prosperous satellite islands.

But at this moment in Rees's governor council.

Twelve Governors of Rees sat around a huge circular conference table. Some of them were fat, some were thin, and they were all different in age from young to old. Behind them stood their most loyal slaves.

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

Because the lineage of the ancient Valyrian Freedom Fortress is still very strong on them, the closer to that piece of land, the more and more Valyrian races can be seen.

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

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

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

Another Governor Reese, who is a bit older and has gray hair but is still well maintained, said anxiously.

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

The young governor retorted without hesitation.

"We know very well that we didn't do this, but the Talothians don't think so. They persuaded the messenger of the Iron Throne to launch an attack on Reese."

"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 but ask.

"Master Humphrey Haitar."

"Do you have any idea?"

Humphrey Haitar is the heir of the Haitar family in the old town, and Earl Leighton Haitar is the fourth and youngest son.

He had survived by fleeing to Rees by boat before the Dorne army broke the old town last year.

And his three brothers all died in battle, and Humphrey Haitar became the only heir of the Haitar family.

The young Heitar family heir fled to Rees, but he did not come empty-handed. He can pretend as much as he can, bringing a lot of wealth to the Haitar family.

With this vast wealth of wealth, Humphrey quickly gained a foothold in Rees, coupled with someone secretly from inside and outside, merged several industries in one fell swoop, and eventually became one of the youngest trade governors of Rees, qualified to enter. Reese's council of governors.

Humphrey had a firm foothold in Rees, but he was a newcomer after all, so he did not have much right to speak in the governor council.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. What's more, in places like the Governor's Council, not every Governor has the same right to speak, and it depends on the power 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!"

And Humphrey heard another governor's question and replied without hesitation. It was obvious that he had already prepared his belly case a long time ago.

The Haitar family and the Targaryen family are deeply entangled, and the two have been married several times in history, so the Governor Humphrey's appearance is also somewhat of a Valyrian.

He has a handsome face, fair skin, blue eyes, and long light blonde hair. He looks a lot like an authentic native of Rees. After more than a year, he has also learned to speak Valyrian. He has no communication skills. Any obstacles.

"I have made contact with Salado Sann."

"The pirate governor expressed his willingness to form an alliance with Rees to jointly fight the enemy from Taloxi."

"He only seeks Reese's support for him unchanged."

It was Salado Sann who suddenly launched a coup attack in Mill not long ago, killing the other two governors supported by Talothi and Valantis, and dominating the great pirate in Mill.

He has a powerful fleet that crosses the narrow sea and a large number of sailors who are familiar with naval warfare. Therefore, the pirate governor who is willing to help Reese will definitely become a strong support.

However, Humphrey Haitar's voice fell ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and immediately exploded in the council of Governors in Rees.

"what?"

"It turned out to be this traitor!"

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

"No! Resolutely not!"

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

"Yes."

"Cannot tolerate."

The rest of Governor Rees also agreed, but only Humphrey Haitar and a fat Governor sitting across from him remained silent.

They exchanged vague glances, and then separated.

But obviously they had expected such a reaction before.
