Outside the barracks, the horn sounded, and the sound of a neat march was heard.

Some of the good lords got up and left the camp.

Outside the barracks, the horn sounded, and the sound of a neat march was heard.

Some of the good lords got up and left the camp.

The sound of marching footsteps came from further north.

The mountain and Alen breathed a sigh of relief.

A general approached: "Warrior, what's your name?"

"Magic Mountain!"

"Warrior of the Magic Mountain, our Lord Benevolence hopes to be your best friend. ”

Moshan looked over, and at the long table, the tall and thin benevolent master in the center raised his hand to Moshan, and nodded and smiled.

"Warrior of the Demon Mountain, would you like to talk to our good master?"

"Very gratifying. ”

Outside the camp, the roaring march was getting closer and closer, and a large group of men and horses arrived.

The Magic Mountain and Aliann were guided by the general to the good lord. The good lord stretched out his hand to Arlene and kissed the back of Arlene's hand: "You are so beautiful, ma'am, my name is Gna." ”

The Gna family, one of the most powerful nobles in Astapor.

"My name is Alen. ”

"Lady Arlene, your husband is a natural warrior, mighty, unmatched, god-like. Garner praised. Then, he stood up and stretched out his hand to the Magic Mountain, grabbing the Magic Mountain's right forearm. The forearm was too thick, and it was wearing armor, and it would not have a second feeling on such an arm except coldness and horror.

Forearms instead of shaking hands were the etiquette of the men of Astapor when they met, and the etiquette of the soldiers when they met.

Magic Mountain's hand also rested on Gna's forearm. The forearm is so slender that it only takes a slight force to pinch off the bone.

"Lord Gna, I am honored to know you. ”

"It's our honor to know an invincible warrior like you. ”

"Good lord, I heard the march outside, is there a legion of reinforcements coming?"

"Yes, the legions from Yuankai and Meereen have arrived, and we will attack Astapo City tomorrow. ”

"Oh! Before I came to Astapor, I heard rumors that the real king of Astapo was a queen, and people loved her and called her the Mother of Dragons. She abolished slavery and gave the slaves complete freedom. But when I came here, I found out that it wasn't what I was rumored. It was not Her Majesty the Queen who sat in the palace, but a ruthless and savage butcher king. ”

"Warrior of the Magic Mountain, you're right. The Mother of Dragons briefly captured Astapo a few years ago, but she wasn't from Slave Bay or Essos, she was from Westeros, a small place. She took her dragons and Dothraki who were still loyal to her Unsullied to the western continent of Westeros, where she went to fight for her throne. She was just a hurried passer-by in Slave Bay. ”

Moshan made a relieved expression: "Oh, I see. Lord Gnashan, aren't you worried about the return of the Mother of Dragons?"

"Absolutely not. "She's already passing by, she's already going home." No one will give up the throne of their homeland and go out to be an undesirable invader. ”

"If she returns, will you make her king again?" said Arlene, chuckling, as if it were a casual joke and pure curiosity.

"No, the people of Slave Bay don't worship an outsider as king. ”

"Maybe the slaves like her better. "However, it would be too bad if she came back and abolished slavery again, for I came across the sea to establish a long-term slave trade with Slave Bay." The nobles of the continent of Sothros need a large number of slaves to work for them. ”

"Great Demon Mountain warriors, I promise you - we can establish a long and stable slave trade. Warrior of the Magic Mountain, you are from distant Sothros, and you bring your wife with you. What about your guards and your retinue? they're all on board?"

"It's unfortunate. The mountain shrugged, "My squires and guards have died on the sea. ”

"Oh my God, have you encountered pirates?" Gnar cried out in an exaggerated and hypocritical manner.

"Something more terrible than pirates?"

"Sea monsters?"

"It's not a sea monster, it's a hurricane. ”

"The ship capsized?"

"Yes, we abandoned the ship and escaped, I took my wife with me, and I took the broken mast and drifted on the sea, and the gods forbid, and after a while, the hurricane and rain all ceased, and the sky and the earth were clear, as if the earth-shaking thing that had just happened had never happened. It wasn't long before other surviving merchant ships that had escaped the hurricane rescued us, and we made our way to Slaver's Bay. ”

"Although our guards and squires have unfortunately died, our gold is still there. Arlene chuckled, heartless, as if the terrible hurricane was nothing more than a game of fun.

Outside, the generals were giving orders, the centurions were in the procession, and all kinds of noisy voices were heard in the tents.

"Warrior of the Magic Mountain, Lady Arlene, let's go out and see our army. "Lord Gnashan proposed.

"Good!"

Magic Mountain and Aliane followed Gna out, only to see a long line of torches outside and a team of people coming.

Nearby, soldiers were forming a phalanx in groups of 100 people.

At a glance at the Demon Mountain, he saw that the legion here was about 5,000 people, and with the continuous stream of torches coming from afar, it was estimated that the number would eventually be 8,000 people.

Eight thousand men went to attack Astapore, which cannot be said to be less, but also not to be said to be more.

The corps of Astapol mobilized, and there were still five thousand people. With the addition of the navy, there were more than 10,000 legions.

Several generals rode over, and when they saw the Demon Mountain's faces were shocked, they all wore vicious beast masks on their faces, this was the beast-faced army from Meereen and Yuankai.

Several generals dismounted and met with Lord Gnashan.

"Generals, what about the Maven of Sitzdala?"

Then the Lord arrived. The generals replied.

Soon, out of the long dragon of torches came a troop of cavalry, all with beast masks on their faces, and they were embracing one man: Sitzdala.

The Beast-Faced Army supports Sitzdara as the Holy Lord.

Sitzdala was a Gist nobleman from Meereen, belonging to the Lorak family, known as the Fourteenth Holy Lord. He was very wealthy, owned many arenas, and was very influential, with many relatives and friends in the city-states around Slaver's Bay. The family lineage can be traced back to several Guise nobles, such as Mazdahan zo Lorak, Hazak zo Lorak, and Zanak zo Lorak. He once came close to marrying Daenerys Targaryen, and after Daenerys left Slave Bay, Sitzdara became the acting lord of Meereen, managing Meereen for Daenerys.

Sitzdala saw the Magic Mountain on her horse, and her face was equally suspicious.

He was surprised that such a giant-like fierce man as the Magic Mountain had never been seen before.

Sitzdala arrived, and the Magic Mountain noticed that his figure was slender and his amber skin was smooth and flawless. His reddish-black hair was shaved like wings, low in the middle and spread out on both sides, like a bird flying. Magic Mountain heard Daenerys talk about Sitzdala, the fourteenth Lord who had trimmed his bird hairstyle to please Daenerys, and after Daenerys' seven refusals and a clear refusal not to allow the opening of the arena again, he reverted to his bird hairstyle to express his disappointment with Daenerys.

After Daenerys made Astapo the capital of Her Majesty the Queen of Slave Bay, the Invisible Banshees' sons began a rebellion, and every night there were various killing times throughout the city. The Children of the Invisible Banshees kill civilians, beggars, women, the Unsullied, patrol soldiers, prostitutes, and anyone else they can come across.

Daenerys sent the Unsullied to sweep through the night, but the killing of civilians was still unpreventable. Later, along with the killings, there was another riot: arson. The monoliths of Astapo begin to spiral out of control, and Daenerys has to consider marrying the local nobles of Slave Bay in order to win over them.

Daenerys' local priests, the Green Saint and the Maven Reznak, persuaded her to marry Sitzdara in order to use his wealth and influence. Daenerys stated that she would consider marrying Sitzdala as long as there was a way to stop the ninety days of killing. Sitzdala visited the pyramids of different families non-stop, and then the actions of the Harpy Son ceased, and the bloodshed and arson of Astapo finally had a rare subsidence. As a result, Daenerys and Sitzdala's marriage contract was also concluded. 、

Meanwhile, in return for the favor, on the day of their engagement, the Daznak Arena reopens, and Sitzdara invites Daenerys to the arena to watch the duel. In the box, Sitzdala repeatedly asks Daenerys to taste the honey locusts, but Daenerys refuses. Daenerys' gladiator guard, Strongman Beworth, eats all the locusts and becomes very unwell.

Subsequently, those honey locusts were found to be poisonous, and Beworth was almost poisoned, and soon, the poisoned cook was caught and beheaded by Sitzbella. However, Daenerys suspects that the chef was instructed by Sitsbella, so she and Sitzbella postpone their engagement. And Sitzbella also had a tacit understanding and did not force Daenerys to fulfill the marriage contract.

It wasn't until Daenerys decided to leave that she broke off her engagement with Sitsbella.

From Daenerys's mouth, Magic Mountain has long known that there is a good owner with the best influence in Slave Bay: Sitzbella. His beast-faced army, once conquered by Daenerys, is now back in the hands of Sitsbella.

Sitzbella dismounts and meets the good lord of Gna in Astapor.

Lord Gnashan introduced the Magic Mountain and Alen to Sitzbella.

The two sides exchanged greetings and nodded in greetings, and the people of Sitzbella were wary and wary of the Magic Mountain.

Lord Gnashan said, "Great Lord Sitsbella, how many soldiers have you brought this time?"

"Five thousand army, five thousand sailors, we will fight tomorrow at the same time in the port and under the city of Astapo. ”

"Yay. Lord Sitzbella, after taking Astapor, Astapol will be mine, and Meereen and Yuankai will be yours, what do you think?"

"Deal. "Sitzbella was cheerful and didn't hesitate at all.

"I have found an irreplaceable vanguard for tomorrow's siege. Gurner said.

Sitzbella looked at the Magic Mountain, he felt his own smallness and vulnerability, and it seemed that this fierce man only needed one punch to send him flying into the air.

"We are honored to be a great warrior from the continent of Thross," Sitzbella said humbly.

"I am also honored and hope to establish a long and stable slave trade with Slave Bay after the war. Magic Mountain told Sitzbella his nonsense again.

For the slave owner Sitzbella, he was the most fond of hearing these words.

The slave trade has always been a supporting industry for the nobles of Slave Bay.

Gna chirped a lot of things to Heatsbella in his local dialect, to the effect that the Magic Mountain was stupid and rich, and that their general had seen the invincibility of the Magic Mountain's battles, and Sizebella nodded again and again. Suddenly, a super fierce man from the sky came to help them attack the city, which was a good omen.

The Beast-Faced Army kept coming, and everyone was wearing Beast Masks, and it did look a little infiltrating. The beast mask, when worn, had a psychological suggestive effect, convincing the soldier that he was as fierce as a wolf and a night lion.

The masks of the Beast-Faced Army were not disorganized, and the soldiers wearing the same masks formed a phalanx in hundreds, matching the masks on their generals' faces. The masks of the beast-faced army are all patterned with various fierce beasts and poisonous insects.

*

The next day, the army rode up, and the Magic Mountain, together with the Good Lord of Gna and the Great Lord of Sitzbella, walked in the middle of the ranks, not in the front.

At the military meeting of the good lords last night, the Magic Mountain was given the position of general of the vanguard army with complete unanimous support. When the battle officially begins, he will lead the most elite Night Lion Legion of Secsbella to attack the North Gate.

In the city of Astapor, the butcher king personally supervised the army, and on the city walls, the archers were lined up in two rows, and at the gates, the spears and shields of the Unsullied legion were already lined up in a phalanx.

And in the priest's house, Daenerys, Missandei, Missanne, Jorah Mormont, Greyworm, Emily, the Scholar's Wife, Clyde, the Doctor, Lunn, the Cleanless Trainer, and Shirley, the Priest's Wife, are meeting nervously, and their soldiers have been organized, a total of two hundred, ready to attack the palace by surprise, take the family of the butcher king and the courtiers in the palace, and then force the butcher on the city wall to submit to Crane.

According to the original plan, the mountain and Alianen should be in this meeting, and the acting butcher king should also be in the palace, not on the wall.

But suddenly, before that, news came that the good lords and holy lords of Meereen, Yuankai and Astapo had united to rebel against the Butcher King and to wage war to overthrow the Butcher for the next two days.

All of a sudden, the situation became complicated.

Daenerys can rally dragons to slaughter the city and win, but it's easy to kill, but it's hard to rule. Once, after she took Astapor, she was caught in the wanton slaughter of the Harpy Son. It was an asymmetrical battle, and the Harpy Sons could not defeat the Mother of Dragons and the Unsullied soldiers, but they could defeat beggars, prostitutes, farmers, fishermen, and hunters. If you can't convince the good masters, you can only kill them, but that's not what Daenerys wants.

She couldn't afford to raise the butcher's knife to kill all the good lords, which would only make Astapo fall into the bloody revenge of the Harpy Son for a long time, and a considerable number of the good lords would have supported her.
