Chapter 0921 Halfway to kill a cavalry
"Take me to your king, I yearn for your gladiatorial arena. Magic Mountain shouted.
He speaks the Astapor language.
The soldiers looked at each other.
Take the giant man to meet the butcher, this is exactly what the butcher king ordered.
But this is not a catch, but a request of the giant man on his own initiative.
The giant man's giant sword is in his hand, take him to the king, will something happen?
But if he didn't take him to the king, he would be executed by the king for failing to complete his mission.
Many soldiers admired the giants.
They had never seen such a powerful giant, mighty and unmatched.
Absolute force made the belligerent Astapo warriors feel good in their hearts.
They always had admiration for true warriors.
"Warrior, where are you from?" asked the centurion. The hostility in the tone decreases, and the closeness increases. The momentum of the Magic Mountain often impresses even the bravest bandits. If his status is high, he will make those bandits willingly follow him.
"Sothros. Magic Mountain said.
*
Sothros is a continent south of Ersthos. It was a mysterious continent, several times larger than the continent of Essos.
In the known world, there are three major landmasses, the smallest Westeros, Essos, which is several times larger than Westeros, and Thothros, which is several times larger than Usthos.
Three continents, Westeros to the west of Essos, and Thothros to the south of Essos. In the middle of the three continents, they are all separated by the sea.
The three continents all communicate and connect through maritime trade.
Between Westeros and Essos, there is only a narrow sea that is not wide. And the sea between the continent and the continent of Sothros is several times wider than the Narrow Sea.
It was a truly endless sea, where boats could walk for months. And from the city-state of Pantos in Essos to King's Landing in Westeros, the distance in a straight line is twenty days for clippers and one month for merchant ships.
The free trade city-states of Pantos and King's Landing are the two closest cities in a straight line.
The Magic Mountain said that he was from Thosros, and no one doubted his words. The continent of Sothros was already trading with Slave Bay. Of course, the closest trade ties between the continents of Sothros and Essos are the eastern giant city of Quells.

"Warrior, I will take you to our king, but you must lay down your sword. ”
"I can put down the sword, but this sword is priceless, a family heirloom, and he has to be by my side. "Magic Mountain is so experienced, he immediately blocked the words first.
"Good. But your wife will have to go with her. The centurion had already seen that the woman beside the giant man was unable to move because she was pregnant. When the giant man went to see the king, he would not mess around because the lady and the child in his belly would not mess around.
Moreover, the king had asked the lady to go.
The butcher king was cruel and reverted to the barbaric system of slavery. A considerable number of the soldiers still miss Her Majesty the Queen of the Dragon, the Mother of Dragons. The same is true of some generals, the Centurion of the Unsullied, who have tasted freedom, because of their allegiance to Her Majesty, have switched their allegiance to the Butcher King.
The butcher king has hundreds of dead soldiers around him, and there are hundreds of powerful warriors, and no matter how powerful this giant is, it is impossible for him to hurt His Majesty in the palace.
In the confrontation with the giant man, instead of shrinking back and being killed and injured, it is better to take him to the palace to complete the task first.
Moshan smiled: "Centurion, I naturally won't be separated from my wife by half a step. ”
In fact, Arrene Martell is very skilled, and after becoming a dragon knight, he seems to have been blessed with magical power, and his skills are more agile and strong. The immobility of being pregnant is just a little trick for her to show weakness. She definitely won't blink when she kills people, and ordinary knights will not be her opponents at all.
The centurion consulted the communications officer, then raised his sword, and the team parted to make way for a wide avenue.
Many slave owners shouted: "Great warrior, we will go and explain the situation to His Majesty, and I hope you will buy more of our slaves." ”
Slave owners, who made a living from the slave trade, had a better view of the Magic Mountain.
The price offered by the Magic Mountain was double or more than the actual price, and they had never met such a generous buyer. If the slave trade with the Solthros continent can be opened through this giant, Slave Bay will surely usher in a great development opportunity.
Before the Demon Mountain Greatsword was sheathed, the sound of an arrow breaking through the air sounded, and with a bang, an arrow flew and hit the throat of Robert, the communications officer.
Change in a hurry.
Robert's throat rattled, his hands gripped his throat, blood gushing from between his fingers. His face was distorted, his eyes were frightened, his body was crooked, and he fell from his horse.
Woohoo!
Countless arrows rained down from the sky, puff, puff, and kept shooting into the ranks of the Unsullied, and the soldiers raised their shields one after another, and the arrows came so densely that in an instant, dozens of soldiers were shot down.
Several iron-clad horses rushed out of the alleys, wielding scimitars and axes, and rushed into the ranks of the Unsullied, and the ranks collapsed.
"Get on your horse, warrior. A voice shouted.
Two empty horses rushed to the side of the Demon Mountain, who grabbed the saddle of the war horse and sent Arlen to the war horse first. Then he got on another horse, and another group of horsemen rushed out of the alley, small in number, but all of them were fierce.
"Hurry up, warrior. A fierce man shouted.
Neither the mountain nor the Alynn understood it, but they still followed the cavalry and rushed down the street. After a while, shouts rang out from the gates on all sides of Astapor, as if thousands of troops were coming to attack the city.
Daenerys, dressed in disguise, stood under a stone pillar and looked at it with a mouthful of mouth.
Whose strength is this cavalry contingent that suddenly rushed out?
Why did they come out to help the Magic Mountain?
Why did the four gates suddenly erupt in shouts and battles?
Is this a rebel army against the butcher king?
It seems that since she left, things have been more complicated than she thought.
The sound of battle erupted at the same time at the four gates, which made the garrison that came to hunt down and intercept the cavalry team of the Demon Mountain hardly have any decent team. The soldiers of the city were scattered throughout the city by the sound of the horns at the gates and the cries for help from the scouts.
Not far ahead, smoke rose from several pyramids, and some people were setting fires.
Daenerys didn't take advantage of the dragon to conquer Astapo again in the first place, because she didn't want Long Yan to destroy the city. Each of those pyramids is not easy to build, and if the dragon is bulldozed all the way, the city of Astapor will suffer serious damage, just like the city of High Court, but this is not what Daenerys wants.
City hers, this is her wealth. In the end, she has to bear the damage caused by Long Yan. The best way is to figure out the specific situation in the city, and then take down the first evil without blood.
The first evil is the butcher King Clyde.
Daenerys watched as the Magic Mountain and Alen rode away with a group of horsemen, bowed her head, hurried away, and headed for the priest's house.
Knowing that things were getting so complicated in Astapor, Daenerys would rather come to Astapor a few months later. As long as you bring a powerful fleet into Slave Bay, Meereen, Yuankai, and Astapo will all obediently submit.
It's been too long since I've been away from Slave Bay, and the thought of returning to Slave Bay makes Daenerys can't help but wish it would be faster, faster, faster. With the convenience of three dragons, as soon as she and the magic mountain combined, she flew back with the dragon first.
Magic Mountain is also a person with a big hero complex, and as soon as Daenerys said that he would not bring the legion back to see if he could have a chance to get back Slave Bay, he immediately expressed his support for Daenerys's plan.
After the predictions of High Priest Melisandre, Janine Westerling, and Lady Dorty Quintina, the three dragons took off with six men and made their way to Astapor.
And the real situation seems to be more complicated than the information obtained and the original world in the memory of the Magic Mountain.
In the city, trumpets sounded everywhere. On the port pier, the navy horn also whined. Dozens of warships in the sea entered the harbor and docked, and the soldiers jumped ashore in a steady stream and killed the city.
It seems that the rebels took a fancy to the emptiness of the garrison in the city and the fact that most of the legions were at sea, so they suddenly set fire to the city and attacked the four gates in order to receive the safe evacuation of their comrades in the city.
Demon Mountain and Alyne followed this cavalry team out of the west gate and ran wildly along the seaside avenue outside the city wall. The navy soldiers are mainly infantry - the Unsullied soldiers are mainly infantry, and their spears and shields are the best in the world, but if they want to run away with the cavalry, they will not be able to pass the line at all.
Soon, the cavalry broke away from their pursuers, and without stopping, they ran towards the hills to the north.
Demon Mountain and Arlene slowed down.
"Who are these?" asked Arlene Martell in the native language of Westeros.
"I don't know, let's take a look first. ”
The two of them came to speak in the native dialect of Westeros, which I believe the people here do not understand.
"I see that they are well-dressed, and some of them have a lot of copper plates sewn on their robes, they must be the good masters of Astapo who were slaughtered and suppressed by the Butcher King. ”
Magic Mountain also noticed this.
Daenerys gave the surrendered lords a way to survive and issued a law prohibiting them from killing them and their families, but after she left, the boots were purged by the butcher king Clyde. This led to a collective revolt by the good masters.
The Good Lords have ruled Astapor for hundreds of years, and since the collapse of the Valyrian Empire, the Good Lords have ruled the city. There are not many people who are deeply loyal to the good masters. Even many slaves who survive by relying on good masters have a good impression of good masters. When the Butcher King took power in place of the Mother of Dragons, he was not friendly to the slaves of the good masters, and most of the slaves were captured and reduced to even more miserable slaves in one place.
The cavalry went all the way to the north, and the ranks kept growing along the way, and the number of troops coming out of the other city gates was not large, they were all cavalry, and everyone gathered together, and the teams that came to chase finally became a bluff.
*
Along the way, the magic mountain changed three war horses, until the evening, the team did not want to stop, everyone kept going north, north, until the sky was completely dark. The torches were lit, like a long dragon of flames, and the procession continued northward, all the way into the grassland.
In the grassland, there are tents and barracks, and there are marching tents with no end in sight. The procession stopped, and many cavalry gathered around to welcome the arrival of Moshan and his wife.
The good lords here have great respect for the Magic Mountain and his wife, and they are very careful in their words, and it can be seen that they regard them as the most honored guests.
Magic Mountain and Alyne were taken into the tent by a general.
As soon as the Magic Mountain entered, there were about thirty well-dressed good lords in the military tent, and they all looked at the Magic Mountain together, and their faces were very exciting—some were surprised, some were shocked, some were dumbfounded, and some were dumbfounded...... These good lords were the first time in their lives to see such a fierce man—a natural warrior forged by the will of the gods, and the greatest gladiator of the future they dreamed of.
"This warrior was a slave trader from the continent of Thros, and he paid two or even four or five times the market price, and the butcher sent men to arrest him as a gladiator, and he fought back alone, breaking down several layers of the Unsullied defenses, and no one could stop his sword slash. ”
One of the centurions who had 'saved' the Magic Mountain whispered to the good masters.
He spoke the native dialect of Slave Bay, and under the teaching of Missandei, Magic Mountain was familiar with the most commonly used dialect language in Slave Bay, and he understood most of it.
The old man at the head said: "The stranger is naturally burly, if we defeat Astapor, send him to the gladiatorial arena to make the Astapor's gladiatorial arena even more brilliant. ”
"Yes, Lord Good. But for now, our goal with the giant is the same, which is to defeat the butcher first. I suggested that we treat him well, promising him a large number of slaves at a fair price, and then begging him to help us fight the butcher. ”
Several of the leading good masters exchanged heads and whispered, and their eyes glanced at the magic mountain from time to time.
"Magic Mountain, these people aren't good people!" said Arlenne Martell in the dialect of Westeros.
"Yes, after they come to power, they practice the same slavery as the butcher king, and they will not close the gladiatorial arena, they will open more gladiatorial arenas more openly. Compared to the gladiatorial arena run by the butcher king, these good masters have accumulated hundreds of years of experience, and they will run better and earn more. ”
"It's all a raccoon dog. Arlene asserted.
The Magic Mountain agrees with Arlene's definition.
The only difference between Clyde the Butcher and the Good Lords is that the Good Lords rule Astapo by themselves and practice perfect slavery, while the Butcher King governs Astapo instead of the Mother of Dragons, and the slavery system is not perfect. Nor did they end the slave trade with Quells, nor did they break the slave trade with Valantis to the west.
The slave trade, the slave system, was the best way to rule as determined by the butcher kings and good lords.
