At the Port of Pentos a mighty sight could be seen as hundreds of ship's was at the port of Pentos. This was the combined might of the Pentos army, Second Son's, and the Golden Company.
The Commander of the Army, Joror Aneriris Was at the head of this great host of ships with his second in command Tregio Maegiris.
"Joror don't you think this is a little overkill" Asked Tregio since the only thing they know is that the Free Folk Kingdom has about 20k soldiers in the city with a potential 10k more soldiers.
"I agree it is a lot of men just for one city that only has 20k men, but this is the Free Folk Kingdom were are talking about and I have heard that they have some strange weapons in their hands, and I heard that they also wield strange powers" Joror has heard many things about the Free Folk Kingdom from many passing traveler's and merchant's who have travelled their.
"Strange Powers?" Questioned Tregio "What strange power's do those animals have that we don't" Asked Tregio
Joror looked at him with a serious face since he has heard what happened to people who call the Free Folk animals "Once we reach them I would watch your tone as the last people to call them that was the Night's Watch and well, you know what happened to them"
Tregio had fought along side Joror for 15 years so he knows that when Joror put's on a face like that he is serious about the situation.
"Alright old friend, I will watch my mouth around them" Said Tregio
"Good because that might cause more casualties then We want since calling them that will only motivate them to fight even more and once that happens I've heard that they are quite formidable, I'll say" Joror has only heard rumors but when it comes to the Free Folk Kingdom some rumors tend to be true.
"For now let's set sail" Said Joror as he looked to the navigator of his ship.
The Navigator of the ship understood what that look was for so he yelled at the top of his lungs "All ahead full sail"
All ship's followed the Commander's ship as they embarked onto their journey towards Braavos.
Meanwhile at the Sea Lord's Palace Thornir was already aware of when the enemy army would embark.
So in response he already is at the head of his fleet of ship's waiting for the enemy.
And since Pentos wasn't that far from Braavos the enemy had arrived in a couple of hours.
Thornir had sailed his ship toward's the enemy with the white flag showing, signaling that he wanted to negotiate or talk terms.
Commander Joror also threw up the white flag and sailed his ship out to meet with the Free Folk for the first time.
As Thornir's ship came close, Joror was shocked at how massive the ship was and at how different it looked.
The ship also had a lot of square shaped designs on the side of the ship that looked like it could be used as window of sort's for archer's to shoot out of the side.
Little did he know, their was a much stronger weapon than a man with a bow behind those squares.
A few moments later the ship pulled up to the side and Joror came aboard the Free Folk ship with 6 Warriors behind him, and Tregio was among them.
Thornir had walked up to Command Joror who held out his hand for a hand shake. But Thornir didn't shake his hand and just looked at him.
Commander Joror retracted his hand feeling disrespected that he wasn't shown the respect that people usually get before negotiation's start.
"I see that the Free Folk don't respect other people which is the proper thing to do during negotiations" Said Commander Joror "So I shall do the right thing instead and tell you my name, I am Commander Joror the Leader of this army"
Thornir didn't speak as the person beside him did "This is his highness King Thornir of the Free Folk Kingdom" Said the Free Folk Warrior
Commander Joror was surprised to hear this but he didn't show his respect upon learning about this since Thornir didn't show him respect.
"The King Himself, This is a pleasant surprise I must say, and also a reckless one" Said Commander Joror
Thornir chuckled a little before he spoke "I'm not even going to show you respect, so I will just get right down to the reason why I am here" Said Thornir as he grabbed him by the throat and lifted him off the ground.
The 6 men behind him reacted along with Tregio, but before they could do anything they were killed by the other Free Folk warriors behind them.
Commander Joror tried to talk with the little breathe he had "You.....Have..NO.....HONOR!" Yelled Commander Joror with his last bit of breathe.
Thornir laughed manically at this "HONOR!" Asked Thornir "You think I care about that after what happened" Thornir tightened his grip on Commander Joror's Throat
"I have waited for this moment for a few months now, and you dare to claim I have no Honor like I care about that" Thornir was now visibly angry
Meanwhile Commander Joror had died as the grip on his neck was too tight and it broke his neck.
Seeing this Thornir stopped his rambling and dropped Commander Joror on the ground.
"Throw their bodies over the side" Said Thornir as the warriors began to grab the bodies and toss them over the side
Meanwhile a soldier who was next to him had pointed to the sky "Your Highness Look"
Thornir looked and about 40 Fireballs about to land where his ship was.
But instead of panicking he only smirked while saying "And so it begins"
