Chapter XXIV: The Slave Revolt

There are about 20 large and small pyramids in Meereen, and the richest slave owners generally live in the pyramids, which means that in Meereen, the pyramids are a status symbol, and you are embarrassed to say that your family has money and power when you go out without a pyramid.

Therefore, some of the sons and daughters of slave owners who live in the pyramid will show off everywhere when they go out: Look, my family lives in the pyramid, and I will take you to live at home for a few days.

Then the friends around him will cooperate with the exclamation, and look at him with envy, it is a pyramid, only a mummy... Ahh A place where only the most powerful and wealthy slave owners of Meereen lived.

Speaking of pyramids, not long ago, a great lord proposed that in order to maintain his relationship with the cruel butcher of Astapo, should he give him a pyramid?

Of course, this proposal was opposed by most of the great lords, how could the noble pyramid be given to that lowly Westerner, not even the smallest pyramid.

Fortunately, Ma Shen didn't know about this proposal of Meereen City until now, otherwise he would definitely be smoked by the seven orifices of anger, and he would not want to live for free if he broke the pyramid.

At this time, near the south side of Meereen, an aristocratic pyramid was erected, and a large number of slaves were busy like dense ants, and from time to time there were soldiers in armor and overseers with long whips walking around them.

These overseers and soldiers had a mark on their bodies, a salted fish, a dried salted fish, and it was a sign called Lord Reznak.

Everyone in Meereen City knows that the other day the Great Lord of Reznak was mocked by another Great Lord for some things (it is said that he was mocked for being too small in his family), so the Great Lord of Reznak made up his mind to rebuild the family pyramid and surpass the pyramid of that hateful fellow, and it is best to strive to reach the height of the Great Pyramid.

The Great Pyramid: The Great Pyramid is 800 feet tall and has 33 floors, topped by a bronze statue of the Harpy that Daenerys Targaryen inhabited after her conquest of the city.

In order to accomplish this plan, Lord Reznak mobilized all the slaves of his family and the slaves of the great lord's family, with whom he had a good relationship, totaling more than 2,000 slaves.

Because some parts of the pyramid required large stone bricks to be built five feet long and three feet wide and high, most of the slaves were transporting stones and bricks, except for a few experienced slaves who built the pyramids.

"Sgarry, you lowly slave, don't give me any hurry!" an overseer picked up a whip and threw it at a thin boy.

The thin boy who was whipped and wore only a pair of pants tilted his body involuntarily, but he gritted his teeth and carried the brick on his shoulder, and began to move his somewhat bloated right ankle, slightly speeding up.

"Hurry up, if you can't complete the task, you'll die today. The male-faced Overseer spat in Sgarry's face and turned to walk towards the other slow-moving slaves.

As if numbed to the spittle, Sgari let the spit remain on his face, looked at the departing overseer with cloudy eyes, and began to walk with the bricks.

The wind was blowing, it was almost evening, the light was a little uncertain, and the gloomy sky seemed to be like Sgarry's mood.

Sgarry is a slave who has been since birth, he doesn't know who his mother is, he doesn't know who his father is, he only knows that his mother is a full-time ** in Meereen.

These ** have been in Meereen to receive guests from afar, to make money for the great lords, and they have not done any security measures.

If they were pregnant, the great lords would give birth to the baby in their womb and take the baby away, and the born baby would be a slave.

This is one of the sources of slaves, after all, you can't often go to other places to raid the village, so Sgarry is a ** born with an unknown guest.

As he walked, an old man with dark skin and protruding ribs passed by Sgarry carrying a few bricks, looked at Sgary's purple ankles, and whispered with kindness: "Sgary, hurry up and work, otherwise there will be no dinner to eat." ”

Sgarry didn't say anything about the old man's kind words, just nodded his head slightly, signaling that he heard it, but this was already his fastest speed.

He hadn't eaten for a day since he accidentally twisted his foot yesterday, and with the injury to his ankle, he really didn't have the strength anymore.

"Don't die. Seeing the whip marks on Sgarry's body, the old man sighed, he could only bless, and then he picked up the bricks and accelerated his pace, such things happen every day, I don't know when I will be freed, maybe death is the best choice.

After a while, Sgarry staggered the bricks to the two slaves.

Suddenly, a soldier in the distance shouted and ran over: "There is an enemy, hurry up and go to the city gate to support!"

Hearing the news, an officer with a hideous face came out of the soldiers around the pyramid, and saw him frowning and talking to this soldier for a few words, as if he had heard something terrible, and with a shocked expression on his face, he hurriedly rushed to the dock with all the soldiers.

The officer, Sgarry, knew that he liked to pick young girls from among the slaves and bring them to his room, where they would be greeted with bruised corpses.

I don't know what happened, it may be that the great lords are not in agreement, or it may be those foreign merchants, but then again, the great lords don't know what's going on outside, he only knows that there are more merchants who come to Meereen City, which causes their usual workload to increase a lot.

Sgarry was sluggish as he carried the bricks, ignoring the departing soldiers.

It had nothing to do with him, he just knew that if he didn't complete the task, he would really die, and don't take the overseer's threats as a joke, sometimes they just do what they say.

A great lord once said that an obedient slave is the most valuable possession, and a disobedient slave is like garbage.

Sgarry wasn't worried about not having dinner, but if he didn't complete his mission this time, the overseer who was watching them wouldn't mind hanging him from the wall so that the other slaves could see the consequences of not working hard.

But just as Sgarry struggled and began to walk back, a faint singing voice came from an unknown place.

"Forward, forward, forward!"

"There is a tense atmosphere in the air, and the big war is coming. ”

"Slave owners, they are ahead. ”

"They tried to put the shackles around our necks again. ”

"It's time to defend freedom, the blood is already surging!"

"Fight for the glorious army!"

"Fight for freedom!"

"Fight for the King!"

。。。。。。。。。

"Dusty faces. ”

"Fight for the glorious army!"

"Fight for freedom!"

"Fight for the King!"

Not only Sgarry, but all the slaves who worked tirelessly in the pyramids heard the singing.

Listening to the song, it was like hearing magic full of magic, and the slaves gradually stopped what they were doing.

(It's the army of the liberators.) )

(They have come to liberate us.) )

(It turns out that the merchants weren't lying to us.) οΌ‰

(That legend of Astapor is true.) οΌ‰

The slaves looked at each other, and needless to say they all knew what their companions thought, because they themselves thought so in their hearts.

What happened in Astapor, the great lords blocked the news from the slaves, and at the same time crucified all the slaves who spread it, but these could not stop the slaves from communicating in private and the expectations of the slaves.

Is it really the liberator's army coming, I don't know when, the brick in Sgari's hand fell to the ground.

Seeing that there was something wrong with the slave's eyes, the overseers' hearts tightened and became a little hysterical: "Are you going to rebel, don't hurry up and work, or you will all be hung on wooden poles!"

Hearing the shrill cries of the overseers and the friction of whips across the air, the fear accumulated over the years made the slaves begin to carry their belongings, and the overseers began to work one after another like sheep.

In fact, the seemingly vicious overseers were also a bit of a strong outsider, listening to the screams and fighting in the distance, and praying uneasily that Meereen's army would be able to withstand the enemies who were besieging the city.

But when the other slaves began to work, Sgary, who was still lying in place, became more conspicuous.

A wrinkled overseer angrily took the whip and stepped forward and whipped it in Sgarry's face: "Dog mongrel, you have a lame leg!"

"Don't work for you, be lazy, tell you not to work!" In order to hide his uneasiness and show authority, the overseer whipped Sgarry to the ground and was not satisfied, and the overseer whipped Sgarry.

Sgarry curled up with his head in his hands, enduring the overseer's whipping.

The busy slaves around looked at the whipped Sgarry, not knowing what was on their minds.

"Slave owners, they are ahead. ”

"They tried to put the shackles around our necks again. ”

"It's time to defend freedom。。。。。

The distant singing continued to echo in Sgarry's mind, feeling the sharp pain coming from his body, Sgarry's eyes became bloodshot, and his heart began to cry incessantly: I don't want to be a slave, I want to be free, I don't want to be a slave anymore!

"Ahhh

Finally, Sgarry screamed hysterically and threw the Overseer to the ground, then punched the Overseer in the head.

The overseer next to him was caught off guard and didn't have time to go up to stop him, because everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.

After beating the overseer to the head and bleeding, Sgarry staggered to his feet and shouted: "The liberator's army is ahead, I am not property, I want to be free, I don't want to live like this again!"

The scene suddenly fell silent, accompanied by the constant screams of the routs passing by.

Time stopped, even the eyes of the world faded, and a fire seemed to start burning in the hearts of the slaves.

I don't know who started the first call.

"Fight with them!"

"Fight with them!"

"Fight with them!"

The shouts were like boiling water in a pan of oil, and then all the slaves roared.

They have been oppressed for so long, some of the slaves of Meereen began to rebel against the rule of the great masters more than twenty years ago, and were slaughtered, and now the slaves are not afraid of death, and they are also rebellious.

Feeling a different atmosphere, the overseers who wanted to go up and whip Sgarry began to retreat in panic, a flock of sheep turned into a pack of wolves, are these slaves crazy?

"Kill the overseers, kill the slave owners, and welcome the liberators' army into the city!"

"Kill the overseers, kill the slave owners, and welcome the liberators' army into the city!"

The slogan kept sounding, and looking at the slaves who looked at him with blood-red eyes, one of the overseers had a weak hand, and the whip fell freely to the ground.

Meereen's slaves revolt. [.]
