Chapter 153
"Sir Jorah?" Daenerys never dreamed that the first person to find her would be Sir Jorah. And the other party still has bandages on his body that have not been disassembled.
"Sorry Your Majesty, we're late." Sir Jorah forced his excitement and made a knightly salute.
"No, now help me get rid of the extra people in this room. They didn't like my plan very much. ”
"As you wish, Your Majesty."
………………..
Something big is brewing in Meereen. This was felt by all the inhabitants and even the slaves. Many slaves even sent their masters to reduce their work. Because a lot of business has stopped.
The Great Purge began suddenly one night.
Thousands of Unsullied soldiers, raiding several of Meereen's oldest families. Of course, by the time they stormed the castle, the most important figures of the family had already left. They have been operating in the city for countless years. No hint of wind or grass can escape their eyes and ears.
Of course, the little devil didn't think to avoid their eyes and ears. This is a real war. It's just that in the first game, it was impossible to see the victory or defeat behind the lake.
"Sir Lorak, it's your turn."
"Of course, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time."
Sitzdara turned back to his men and commanded a few words. As the ravens flew away from the palace. An unseen dark war began throughout the city of Meereen.
The shadows of countless families crisscrossing each other suddenly erupted at this moment. All kinds of intrigues, suspicions, betrayals, began to intertwine. The city's thousand-year-old rule of the 'Great Lord' has finally begun to shake its foundations.
In fact, Daenerys is far more than the Lorak family on the side of this fight. With the lobbying of the little devil, many slave owners have joined the group one after another. The combined balance of power was still far inferior to the union of those ancient families.
But don't forget. The queen of this city-state is called Daenerys. In other words, Daenerys's side, on the bright side, has an absolute advantage in force.
Every castle, every port, every secret passage is fighting. In about four days, the Second Order, a secret unit of the Unsullied, had laid a net around the city-state.
Those original families made a mistake that all nobles would make. Arrogance from the aristocracy. As the oldest family in the city, they have experienced the reign of almost every "Great City Lord" of Meereen. Those families who reached the top were wiped out one by one. But hidden in the shadows, they are always there, and they are getting stronger and stronger
Every great city lord will treat them with courtesy and try his best to gain their support. But Daenerys not only disrespected them, but even freed the slaves, causing them to suffer huge losses out of thin air. That's why they hate the new queen so much, and they don't want her to die all the time.
And after the previous large-scale assassination failures, they still didn't feel anything. Because they've done this kind of thing countless times, and in the end, it will just go away. But I didn't expect that this time, the painting style was suddenly a little different.
In the original book, the little devil's practical plan is similar to what it is now. It's just that the procedure isn't that straightforward. Co-opting and suppressing a group is an eternal truth in politics. Only this time, what the queen wants is not just suppression, but a thorough cleanup.
This situation is no longer a political struggle in the traditional sense, but has an even more terrifying term, revolution.
By the time the families reacted, the pace had slowed down a lot. They have a huge hidden power in the city. But those killer spies can't compete head-on with the Unsullied Legion after all. And when they fled in a hurry, they found that all the ports and secret passages had been blocked. The killing bloomed in this moment.
On one side is the side of the Queen, who wants a complete revolution. On the other side are the aristocracy desperately trying to survive. In fact, as long as these nobles can get out of the city, they will be able to survive. The coalition forces on the Yuankai side have approached Meereen, and their allies have arrived. It's a pity that they never really took the last step.
Just as the bloody night was in full bloom, another silent war was going on. Countless merchants and smugglers were quietly invited into the palace. Most of them are the white gloves of those nobles, or partners. These men controlled the vast majority of the city's trade, as well as smuggling.
The little devil looked at the people present and spoke.
"I'm sorry to invite you here, but as you know, tonight is a special day. After tonight, a lot of things in the city will change. A lot of people will disappear, and a lot of people will come out. But you're different, I don't need you to disappear, and I don't need you to stand up. I just want you to do one thing, and leave it as it is. ”
The merchants were silent for a moment, and one of them asked.
"Each of us has our own business in the city. We can keep it as it is, but will our business opportunities stay the same? ”
"Absolutely. I want you to assure you that when the sun rises the next day, each of you will be able to sell the goods you have as usual, you will be able to receive the goods you want, and you will be able to find a partner who will not change anything. As long as you remain the same, everything about you will remain the same. ”
This is actually very clear. It means that if they want more, then they will lose everything.
…………………..
In Dothrak Bay, Daenerys tells Sir Jorah about her plans. Not surprisingly, there was a strong backlash. But she had already made up her mind to pay attention.
"My reign in Meereen wasn't a happy one, you know? There are always countless things that bind me. There are always people who jump out and challenge the dignity of the queen. They even tried to kill me three times and twice. Why? Because they think I can't really hurt them. It's also a fact that my strength is too weak. Weak enough that I can't defeat those people directly. So I need more strength. As long as I have mastered the Dothraki cavalry. I was able to completely defeat the rats hiding in the gutter. I will be a real queen. ”
Daenerys has made up her mind, and naturally no one can change it. Everyone can only follow her wishes.
Tonight is just a very ordinary day for the Dothraki. As usual, they drank wine and ate meat in front of the fire. Or sing all kinds of ugly traditional songs.
And the Kao of the various tribes are all together. They have a matter to discuss tonight. There's a story about the new Drogo Kao woman. The woman who is the strongest Kao in the legend, they are naturally a little excited. As for the rule that the women of Kao could not move, it was only for the lower class samurai. For rulers, the most important feature is that they always have privileges.
But before they could reach a conclusion, they saw the door open. Then a woman walked into the hall with an axe in her hand. It was the woman of Drogo Kao that they were talking about.
At the same time, a group of dark shadows also quietly touched the surrounding sentinels. The force value of these Dothraki is indeed strong. The riding skills are superb, and the bow and arrow are even more top-notch. But they are some wild people after all. Too little is known about orthodox military warfare. When you are able to crush everything around you at will, you naturally lose the motivation to learn.
They know too little about tactics such as battalion outposts, night attacks, and elite beheadings. Most of Kao are superb. When a group of Kao get together, it is pure nonsense to want to behead them. The Dothraki could not think of anyone who would do such a thing. But now someone is doing it.
Jorah was a great nobleman of the Seven Kingdoms. A variety of military skills are absolutely qualified. At least this night attack was very successful. Without alarming the tens of thousands of Slavic cavalry on the periphery, they had secretly controlled the entire hall.
Of course, he didn't think to charge it in. There were a dozen Kao in it, and any one of them could beat him. Coupled with their guards, rushing in was purely looking for death. The only hope is that Daenerys' plan will succeed.
"How did you get in? Women are not allowed to enter here. ”
One of Kao yelled at Daenerys. But Daenerys ignored him. Instead, he walked a few steps around the room without a trace, approaching a huge oil cylinder on the side. This is used for ignition lighting.
"Look she's still holding an axe? Could it be that she wants to hack us to death? The crowd of Kao burst out laughing, not taking Daenerys in the slightest.
"Are you in awe of the flames?" Daenerys said suddenly. This sentence made everyone in the hall wonder what she meant.
"I was afraid of the flames, as every living thing is. But then I found out about something. Flames have never been my enemy. ”
After Daenerys finished speaking, she suddenly raised the axe in her hand and smashed it the oil cylinder next to her. A full tank of fuel quickly filled the hall. That wasn't enough, and Daenerys then waved her hand and smashed an oil cylinder on the other side. Hundreds of kilograms of fuel were laid all over the ground.
The Kao reacted quickly, quickly extinguishing the torches around them to prevent a fire. But at this time, Daenerys took out a fire fold from her body.
"You barbarians, the power of civilization that you will never understand."
A spark fell under the frightened eyes of a dozen Kao. Someone tried to catch Daenerys, but it was too late.
"Stop, you're going to burn yourself."
"No, I won't. for the flame is my servant. ”
Raging flames rose into the sky. swept through the entire hall. After all, the fierce fire alarmed the surrounding Dothraki. Countless Dothraki swarmed, but the flames were unstoppable.
Tens of thousands of people just stared at them blankly, and they were burned there. They didn't even notice that a dozen outsiders had mixed into the crowd. Everyone knew that no one could survive that kind of flame. But just then, a figure emerged from the flames.
It was a figure that slowly walked out in the raging flames. For a wild nomadic civilization, how shocking this scene is. No less than their horse god descended.
Daenerys's entire body of clothing had been reduced to ashes. But naked, she didn't show the slightest wind of desire. On the contrary, there is an unspeakable mystery and nobility.
Countless Dothraki were stunned. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear of alarming the silence in front of them. But then one of the 'Dothraki' suddenly fell to his knees. The mouth shouted that the horse god was above.
Then the second, the third, the tenth, the hundredth. Eventually, this prostration formed a wave that quickly swept through the entire Dothraki. It's as if all miracles in Christianity are the work of God. The Dothraki undoubtedly pressed the miracle in front of them on the head of the horse god.

Outside Meereen, hundreds of warships are blockading the entire harbor. Countless trebuchets were placed outside the city walls. One huge fireball after another flew over the high walls and smashed into the ancient city. It's the sixth day. Outside, coalition forces bombarded the city with trebuchets for six days. A few pieces even smashed into the periphery of the palace.
The little devil and the others cowered in the palace and didn't dare to show their heads. It's the safest place in Meereen. The only good thing is that Sir Barristan is not a man of his name. The various things to defend the city are well arranged. Combined with the powerful infantry of the Unsullied Legion in the city, Yuankai's coalition forces were never able to reach the city walls.
However, the situation became more serious when the other party cut off the water supply.
"For now, we are able to supply the army with the smuggling of smugglers. But it certainly can't take care of all the people in the city. Over time, this can become a hidden danger for us. ”
"There's no better way. The port has been blocked, and the merchants can't get in. Only by smugglers. But this is not a long-term solution. Also, hasn't the dragon moved yet? Can't it hear that someone is demolishing its home? ”
"As I said, no one but the Queen can command Rego."
"Then don't feed it from today. Let it go out to find food on its own when it is hungry. I don't know what happened to Sir Jorah. ”
The people in the hall were debating how to get through it. Suddenly, a distant dragon roar reached everyone's ears. At the same time, another dragon roar was heard from Meereen City, which seemed to be in response.
"Who's calling this again? The dragon? ”
"Yes, it's Rego's voice. What does it seem to be responding to? ”
"There's only one guy who can make it respond like that. Another dragon. Other words...... Our queen is back. ”
