Chapter 182 Surveillance
However, Petyr Baelish's bold words fell, and the room was indeed silent.
Littlefinger thinks that his words should hit Sea King's mind. After all, the fact that Braavos secretly supported Targaryen has no direct evidence to prove it, but it is well known.
Just as Dorne is also secretly supporting the development of Andalos, a large number of supplies have been delivered.
Otherwise, no matter how great the ability to lend Viserys was, when he was empty-handed and had nothing, he could not have created such a huge foundation out of thin air, and even the craftsmen who built the castle were borrowed from Braavos and Dorn. .
The reason for Braavos to do this is also very clear. After the unification of the Seven Kingdoms, the size is indeed too large.
Once Targaryen's rule was deeply ingrained, it was difficult for them to intervene, but now Westeros is in a state of change, the Targaryen dynasty was overthrown, and the dynasty was replaced by the Baratheon dynasty.
So Braavos naturally wants to use this good opportunity to reach out to Westeros.
Today, I don't know how many nobles in the Seven Kingdoms have been on the verge of bankruptcy, and they only managed to survive by secretly obtaining a loan from the Iron Vault.
What you receive today will be repaid in the future.
Viserys is just a pawn for Braavos to disrupt Westeros.
But this piece is now gradually growing in the direction of the chess player, which will inevitably hit Braavos' bottom line.
This is the key point that Petyr thinks he has mastered.
And Sea King Braavos was lying on the hospital bed staring at Petyr Baelish, with a pair of withered eyes that showed no expression.
There was silence for a long time, then his chest heaved and he took two breaths.
"Lord Baelish, why is Andalos the biggest threat to Braavos?"
Ferrego's tone was flat.
The young man from King's Landing raised his spirits slightly.
The situation he is most afraid of is that Braavos Aquaman denies it, is unwilling to talk to him about it, and even drives him away.
That way, no matter how powerful Littlefinger was, he couldn't finish the errand that King Robert had given him.
And as long as Sea King is willing to continue talking with him on this topic, Petyr Baelish will be sure to convince Braavos and Targaryen to become enemies, form the siege network planned by Lord Tywin, and take Targaryen's The remnants are locked in this land.
Andalus’s current growth scale has also reached the upper limit. There is Braavos in the north, Pantos in the south, and Novoss surrounded by mountains to the west. If Andalos wants to continue to develop, it must break through.
And if you follow the original plan of the Iron Throne and follow the battle of the Nine-Pen King, launching an expedition to completely wipe out the Targaryen remnants, there will be no follow-up.
But winter just doesn't come at the right time.
Tywin and Robert had a long conversation. He was not afraid of the dragons of House Targaryen, after all, two or three years of dragons would not be too long.
As long as the giant crossbow is built during this period, it is enough to threaten the dragon in the sky.
Although there is no 100% guarantee that the giant dragon Merasis can be shot like the Dornishmen of the past, at least these dragons cannot attack recklessly.
In the war on the ground, even if the huge seven countries are fighting across the sea, their strength and armament are far greater than that of a small Andalus, and the boundless army will drown this city-state.
This is the strength of a great country. After all, the main body of war is the army, not the dragon.
Therefore, what the Duke of Casterly Rock is most worried about is that when the Seven Kingdoms are struggling to survive the winter, Andalus once again took the opportunity to expand, and even broke through this siege network composed of trading city-states.
If Targaryen really became the overlord of Essos, at that time, the Seven Kingdoms would be unable to destroy each other by themselves.
Duke Tywin This is also a strategy of combining verticals and horizontals, and the rapid development of Andalos will inevitably threaten the surrounding free trade city-states.
As long as you make good use of this fear, even if you can't organize a coalition to encircle Andalos, at least they can unite to suppress Andalos' development.
"dragon!"
Littlefinger spread out his hands, and emphasized again with a stronger tone.
"Lord Sea King, you don't know what kind of creature a dragon is."
"As far as I know roughly, there is no limit to growth in a dragon's life."
"Waghar."
"The dragon of Aegon the Conqueror's sister, Queen Visenia, was one hundred and eighty-one years old when it died. It was the oldest and largest dragon in Westeros, almost comparable to the Black Death. Storm's End tremble with its roar, Balerion."
"And so is human ambition."
Petyr's tone was heavy, as if he was really worried about Braavos' future.
What does an infinitely growing dragon mean? It means that in the next hundred years, the power of Targaryen will be infinitely enlarged along with the growth of the dragon.
If the three dragons of Targaryen grow to the size of their ancestors, I am afraid that the descendants of Viserys will also devour the entire continent of Essos at that time, and Braavos will not be spared.
"A lion does not walk with a deer."
The youngest Littlefinger on the Five Fingers Peninsula gave a warning, as if he meant something.
And Braavos Sea King, who was weak on the hospital bed, heard this sentence with an inexplicable smile, and then said calmly.
"You mean, is Braavos a deer or a lion?"
However, before Baelish could explain, Neptune shook his head slightly.
"Braavos is neither a deer nor a lion, but a titan."
"Giants are not afraid of dragons."
Afterwards, Ferrego coughed a few times violently, and then closed the door to see off the guests.
"I see what you mean, Lord Baelish."
"Please tell King Robert that Braavos has no intention of meddling in the power struggle for the Iron Throne, whether Baratheon or Targaryen, true or false."
Braavos Sea King suddenly wanted to drive himself away, and Petyr was a little caught off guard, and his handsome cheeks were full of astonishment.
But Neptune had already spoken and he had no choice but to bow slightly politely and then left Neptune's bedroom.
Soon Neptune's bedroom fell into silence.
Ferrego Antarion lay quietly on the hospital bed with his eyes slightly closed, no one knew what he was thinking, and then reopened his eyes and said.
"Quiro, I need the help of the House of Black and White."
"Lord Sea King?"
And his chief swordsman was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Lord Sea King to actually want to use the power of the Faceless.
This force is not so easy to use, and Sea King rarely uses this part of the power on weekdays.
"I need to find out what the Viserys kid did."
"Not just the superficial ones."
Aquaman's words made no secret that Braavos had always been watching Viserys.
"clear."
