Chapter 317: The Current Situation in Pentos

Viserys and Mia, following the mercenary Dick, returned to the deck.

The battle on the deck had ended, and signs of destruction were everywhere. Many people, like Viserys, who had just hidden, were coming out one after another.

The bodies left from the recent battle on the deck had been thrown into the sea. Viserys and his group came out later and just happened to see the last body being thrown into the sea.

"Hey, wait a minute."

The red-haired girl standing next to Viserys was about to stop them, but it was too late. The body had already been lifted by two mercenaries and thrown into the sea.

Splash—

The body fell into the sea, causing a splash, and then disappeared without a trace.

"Huh? What's up?"

The two slaves who were working didn't know why Mia had stopped them and scratched their heads in confusion.

"Ah, it's nothing."

"You guys sure are quick."

The red-haired girl sighed slightly and complained.

She had just wanted to examine the wounds on these bodies to see if they had died from sword wounds or from the attack of the sea monster.

She was now even doubting whether there was something wrong with her brain, or whether she and Emon had unknowingly fallen under some spell.

However, the last body had already been thrown into the sea, and they had nowhere to find new evidence.

"A body?"

"What do you want with a body?"

"Nothing, we just wanted to see..."

Mia was talking to several mercenaries, inquiring about what had just happened.

Viserys, on the other hand, was calmly standing to the side, surveying his surroundings. His inner vigilance had never relaxed.

"The grey fog has dissipated quite a bit."

Viserys noticed this the moment he stepped out of the cabin, and his heart stirred slightly.

When the anomaly had suddenly arisen, the grey fog had been very dense.

You couldn't even see the figures on the opposite ship, let alone see clearly a little further away on their own ship. The visibility was extremely low, and the surroundings were shrouded in dense fog.

Now, the grey fog seemed to have dissipated a lot compared to before, and the visibility had significantly improved, returning to the state when they had just entered the Smoking Sea.

The grey fog had dispersed, and Viserys could even see the figures on another warship from the side of the ship.

However, it seemed that the people on the other side had also just gone through a big battle.

Their ship showed clear signs of damage, and then bodies were thrown overboard by the crew and mercenaries, falling into the sea and quickly disappearing.

At this time, not far from the silver-haired young man, a bald man covered in tattoos was leading a few of his subordinates, quietly looking at Viserys.

"Is that the one called 'Iron Fist'?"

Viserys also keenly noticed the other party's gaze, then turned his head to look at them.

It seemed that he was also someone who had just escaped from another hiding place.

The two men's gazes met and held for a moment.

Then 'Iron Fist' Gus led his team and strode over.

"Young lad, your name is Emon, right?"

The bald man reached out his hand first.

Viserys didn't mind the other party's address. His face did look a bit young, but his demeanor was more mature and calm.

The two men shook hands briefly, then Gus took the initiative to speak.

"You saw what happened just now, didn't you?"

Gus noticed that Viserys and Mia had come out of the cabin and knew that they were

also people who had not been affected just now.

In the current situation where everything is unknown, it's best to unite as many as possible, so he took the initiative to make contact.

Those who had been affected before, although they now seem very clear-headed and show no signs of madness,

But no one can guarantee that they won't go mad again. They can recognize their own people now, but who knows if they will be able to recognize them after some time.

Therefore, Gus does not trust these people. Now he can only contact those who have not been affected and secretly connect the survivors.

"We saw it."

Viserys didn't speak, but Mia next to him nodded and then asked.

"Do you have any special findings?"

"None."

Gus shook his head slightly. He didn't intentionally hide any important information.

But he's a simple man. The situation was urgent just now, and he was too busy running away to observe these people.

"How did they regain consciousness?"

Viserys was silent for a moment, then asked.

They had not seen the outside scene from inside the cabin, so they naturally didn't know. But since Gus had been outside all the time, he should have seen something.

"How did they regain consciousness?"

The bald man frowned when he heard Viserys's question, trying to recall what had happened not long ago, but he couldn't think of any important details.

"They seemed to... suddenly wake up, and the grey fog became much thinner at that time."

Gus tried hard to think about what had happened.

"Right, I think I really did see the shadow of a sea monster then."

He suddenly said.

He seemed to have seen a strange figure in the dense grey fog, but he also didn't get a clear look.

It's been half a month since Viserys left Pentos.

And Pentos is still as usual.

Viserys had once designated Daenerys as his heir in non-public occasions.

But his sister was too young, so Viserys would leave Rhaenys to supervise the country when he was out.

This division of labor actually leaves a hidden danger. Jon Connington once pointed out this problem, that disorder in seniority is most likely to breed disaster.

Rhaenys has been supervising the country for many years and her political experience and means are far more mature than Daenerys's, but she is not the heir.

Both of them received the same education. Viserys gave both girls the education of a family heir, so he is well aware of this problem.

But this problem is based on the condition that he has no descendants. If Viserys has a son in the future, all problems will be solved.

However.

The fact proves that Rhaenys is doing well, at least she hasn't made any mistakes.

With the help of her uncle Oberyn, the entire dynasty's vast territory and fifty to sixty thousand soldiers are safe and sound.

Viserys handed the command staff of the Unsullied to Rhaenys, and the Regent Princess also has two dragons to command. Oberyn brought two hundred guards with him.

Jon Connington, as the Master of Justice of the new dynasty, directly controls the 3,000 guards of Pentos, and his deputy is the former deputy commander of the Windblown, Denzo D'han.

The Golden Company, which has ten thousand soldiers, has no better place to go for now and can only temporarily station in Pentos.

They are also a huge force that cannot be ignored in this city-state.

Therefore, the various forces in Pentos are maintained in a delicate balance.

Although Oberyn is a high-ranking official, he cannot act recklessly, and the newly surrendered Golden

Company would not find it easy to rebel either.

Not far from Pentos, the First Legion of the Andals, who are most loyal to the Targaryen family, are watching closely.

To the southeast of Pentos, twenty thousand Dothraki have settled down.
