Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 423 Ambition Under the Throne
Stannis finally stepped into the city again, only this time he was no longer the Eastland country bumpkin lord who could only rely on others, this time he came to claim his throne, even if it had nothing to do with him.

At this time, the originally wide stone streets were already empty. After hearing the news of the army from the east, most of the people here had no time to escape, so they were forced to stay in the city together with the defenders. Escorted by a group of soldiers, Stannis and Anya, who turned into a male knight, walked on this icy street. No one made a sound along the way, only the crisp echo of the horseshoe hitting the bluestone slab.However, Stannis could still feel that many people on both sides were secretly watching him through the gaps in the slightly opened windows.

Although he didn't have the scene of welcoming the master Wang as he expected, Stannis still raised his head confidently, letting these small citizens know what it means to be born a king.

After wandering around like a parade for half an hour, Stannis finally came to the iconic building of the Garcia family - a luxurious palace with a huge circular vault, as if to show him his strength, Hundreds of black watchmen lined up outside the palace and stood on both sides of the stairs one by one. Stannis swallowed, feeling that these guys were all playing the role of swordsmen.

Just when he was hesitating whether to go up the stairs, that arrogant and condescending voice sounded again.

"You are welcome to come to the humble house in person, Earl Justin, or should I call you the King of the East?"

Stannis raised his head and found that Pedro, who has now become the Duke and Crown Prince, was standing at the top of the steps to greet him. After a few months, the guy became more energetic. At the same time, Stannis also noticed that he was holding a The scepter symbolizing the power of the duke, and the ring with the crown ring indicating the status of the duke.

"This guy still looks like he deserves a beating." Stannis cursed in a low voice, then turned and glanced at Anya behind him, to prevent her from getting emotional and breaking out on the spot, but to his surprise, the man dressed as a man The woman is very calm.

This is the calm before the outbreak, Stannis raised his head without thinking much, with a hypocritical smile on his face, "Don't worry, Pedro acts as the Duke, I can also remove the word 'acting' now Alright."

Pedro walked up the stairs, followed by a guard.The two hypocrites smiled and walked towards each other, and then hugged and patted each other affectionately like brothers reunited after a long time. While hugging Pedro, Stannis quickly glanced at the current situation. Black Watch is still far away from him. It should be feasible if he hijacks Pedro himself, but he is more concerned about the bodyguard behind Pedro. He has not spoken since he appeared. The whole person is wrapped under an airtight armor, and his face is also covered by a visor carved into the face of a lion. Just judging from his tall body and the four swords on his waist, Stan Nice sensed that this guy was not someone to mess with.

After thinking quickly for a second, Stannis gave up on the idea of ​​kidnapping Pedro, because he saw Evelyn's figure appearing on the steps.

This bastard, it turned out that he had understood his own thoughts long ago, and deliberately let himself see Yoyo to warn himself not to mess around!

After angering Pedro's eighteenth-generation ancestors in his heart, Stannis let go of his hands to complete the hug, and the two laughed at each other like acting skills.

Immediately, the prince snapped his fingers again, and Evelyn, who was still appearing now and then, was pushed down by two big men, one on the left and the other on the right. Although she struggled with all her strength, in front of the black watchman who carried the curse mark, she couldn't help herself. Still unable to break free effectively.

When Evelyn, who was taken as a hostage, saw that Stannis really came, she was so angry that she almost cried. She didn't expect this guy to be so stupid. Jump down hesitantly.

Just before she was about to yell, it was Stannis who spoke first, "Your Excellency Pedro, I have heard that the Garcia family has always treated guests well, and seeing them today really deserves their reputation."

But Pedro just smiled and ignored his ridicule, "If I don't do this, how can I have the honor to meet you?"

Stannis still had a glimmer of hope before, Pedro did not really catch the cunning Evelyn, but this time he really became a fish on the cutting board, now Yoyo is in their hands and he can only follow them He did what he said, but Duke Garcia was really so bold that he kidnapped his ally's daughter as a meat ticket. Did he really want to make everyone betray him before he gave up?
Seemingly seeing through Stannis' thoughts, Pedro snorted coldly, "Sorry, the Garcia family doesn't need allies from now on."

"What!" Before Stannis could react, the black watchmen who should have been tens of feet away on both sides actually appeared in all directions of Stannis at almost a teleportation speed. As soon as the hand grasped the hilt of the sword, before it could be drawn out, several swords were already placed around his neck.

"You!" Stannis didn't let go of his grip on the hilt of the sword. He knew that Garcia would attack, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Pedro laughed proudly, "Of course a smart person like you knows that I don't really want to talk to you about a truce. You came here just to find a chance to save this woman."

The Evelyn he was talking about was biting her lip at this moment, she never thought that he would be so stupid as to really come to save her.

"A guy like you who has no faith in the rivers and lakes can actually become the Duke's heir apparent, you must be blind!" Even though the cold long sword was less than a foot away from his neck, Stannis still cursed angrily.

But the person he scolded just glanced back at the huge palace that Duke Garcia spent ten years and countless wealth to build, and seemed to be proud of his achievement.

"My father always taught me that there are only winners and idiots in this world. Now after killing you idiot, I will wipe out all the lords who resisted or obeyed me. From now on, I will be the king of this land. The one and only king, all must serve me only!"

No wonder this guy is not afraid of provoking Worf to kidnap his daughter. The guy in front of him has thought so far that he wants to abolish the lord and let him directly control the territories, but this also means going to war with the entire principality!
