Chapter XIV Orders

You are willing to fight for me!

You are willing to fight for me!

The majestic voice echoed in everyone's ears and shook the hearts of every slave.

Bang! A reservist unsullied man suddenly tapped his spear to the ground.

And then two, three, four...

Until all the reservists on the field have knocked their spears.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang。。。

The sound of more than 10,000 spears hitting the ground was shocking, resounding through the sky.

Seeing this scene, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Ma Shen's mouth, and now all the power of Astapor is in my hands.

How can human beings have no desires, freedom is the greatest desire of these slaves, my current behavior is equivalent to giving these slaves the hope of freedom, and after that, Ma Shen will more or less let individual slaves be free immediately for various reasons, so that other slaves can see hope.

Of course, at the same time, there will be some restrictions, and if a slave violates these rules, then freedom will have nothing to do with them, and rewards and punishments are king.

Like Daenerys to free all the slaves at once, that would not do any good to Ma Shen, will free people still work hard for freedom, of course not, there is no motivation without goals.

Under the stage, Luo Kun stood silently, while looking at Ma Shen who was looking around majestically on the stage with complicated eyes, at this time the sun had completely set, and it was the turn of day and night, and the blurred vision made the wolf slayer on the stage look even taller and stronger.

In such a short day, the wolf slayer has mastered 20,000 troops, and has the strength to master a domain, his courage and wisdom are indispensable, but there are still some strange things in his heart, Luo Kun couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I didn't make a mistake, maybe I followed the wolf slayer, oh, no, I should be called Master Ma Shen in the future, maybe following Lord Ma Shen is the best path for myself and my family.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。 Dividing Line。。。。。。。。。。。。。

At night, all the hotels in Astapo were full, and the merchants who could not leave Astapor were waiting for news from the outside in fear.

For until now they did not know what was going on in the city, except that in the afternoon a group of soldiers surrounded the docks and did not let anyone leave.

No one who could come to Astapor to do business did not know the dress of the Unsullied, and recognized these soldiers as the Unsullied at a glance.

At first, there were still people who cursed and resisted because they were in a hurry, but since they were caught by the ruthless Unsullied who caught a few of the most resisting merchants, no one dared to resist the curses anymore, and they all obediently continued to stay in the city.

And back in the city, they found that the city was not quiet either, with shouts of killing, the sound of weapons clashing everywhere, and many people saw countless Unsullied people fighting and killing with the slave owners' soldiers.

"What's going on in the city now, why don't you let us leave?" asked a merchant with a ruby ring at the hotel table, worriedly to a stranger next to him.

The person who was asked was also a businessman, and he was also a fallen person, and the businessman who was asked also sighed: "It's normal that they won't let us leave, I'm afraid something happened in Astapoli, someone wants to overthrow the rule of the good masters, you see the battles in the city during the day, is it almost all the unsullied people who are capturing the slave owners." ”

"Yes, it's almost one-sided, isn't the Unsullied trained by the good lord of Krazny, is it not wanted by the good lord of Krazny. β€œ

"Phew, be quiet. The businessman who was talking cautiously looked around, and saw that the businessmen trapped in the hotel were all in charge of their own affairs, and no one cared about themselves, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his head to remind, "Don't talk about this now, it's not good to let others hear about it, the change of power in Astapor has nothing to do with us, I just want not to implicate me." ”

"yes, yes, just don't implicate us. ”

On a wooden table not far from the two merchants, the horse seller was drinking a light ale bitterly, and unlike the other confused merchants, he now knew very well who the owner of the Unsullied was, that is, the shameless nobleman who bought the horse yesterday.

Why do you say that, because the leader of the unsullied people on the dock turned out to be the guard who followed the shameless nobleman yesterday, and the horse seller could see it at a glance, and he had asked the guards before if they wanted to drink.

Hey, I knew that I should have left overnight yesterday, why wait until today, it's really a bad year, the horse seller sighed, and took another sip of wine, depressed that even the flesh on his face was missing.

At this moment, in a huge and luxurious palace in the center of Astapor, there are countless innocent people who are motionless and guarding, this is the temporary command center set by Ma Shen.

"Has the city been calmed down now?" Ma Shen asked lightly, sitting at a round table, to Saran, who was in charge of the situation in Astapor.

At this time, more than 10,000 training period innocent people had also been sent to patrol the city, and with the addition of these people, the last slave owners who were resisting by virtue of their geographical advantage were instantly destroyed.

"Most of the slave owners have been captured by us, and only one or two are left who don't know where to go. The Praetorian Guard replied with a serious face, but the parasitic beast in his left hand was a little uncooperative, dangling back and forth, and grabbing a handful of his hair from time to time.

"Keep searching. Ma Shen waved his hand flatly.

"Yes, my lord," Saran slapped his right hand on his chest and turned to leave.

Smelling the smell of blood left by Saran, Ma Shen turned his head to look at the person sitting at the round table: "What do you think?"

These people were Luo Kun, who wore a golden silk robe and a one-handed sword at his waist, and the knight of Lorent, who wore black iron armor and had a serious face, and the bearded captain with a rough face.

In the face of Ma Shen's question, Knight Lorent's expression did not change at all, and he just sat motionless, completely pretending not to hear Ma Shen's question.

And the bearded captain has not yet reacted to the changes in Astapo City, and has been in a state of confusion.

Ma Shen shook his head helplessly and looked at the remaining Viscount Luo Kun.

"Do you have any suggestions?"

Luo Kun nodded respectfully and said, "Lord Ma Shen, it mainly depends on what your next plan is, whether you want to take Astapo City for yourself, or return to the continent of Westeros by boat with the army. ”

"What about taking Astapo City for yourself, and returning to Westeros with a large army?"

"Subordinates can't help adults make decisions, they can only give adults a reference. Luo Kun smiled but said respectfully, "If the adults want to return to Westeros with a large army, then it is much simpler, we only need to collect the wealth of the slave owners in Astapone, and then forcibly collect all the merchant ships, and then return to Westeros with an army of 20,000, and don't worry about the future of Astapor." ”

Ma Shen nodded noncommittally and continued to ask, "Then what if I want to take Astapo City for myself?"

"To take the city of Astapo for yourself, you must take the inhabitants of Astaba as your people, settle them, treat them well, and then calm all the unrest in the city and the unrest outside, and after a while, you can take Astapo for yourself. ”

"Hahaha, Luo Kun, Luo Kun, you still limit your thinking to the Seven Kingdoms. Ma Shen laughed a few times, shook his head and said, "This is not the Seven Kingdoms, this is a slave country, most of the cities are slaves, as long as we have the strength to deter them and give them hope, then we can quickly consolidate our territory and take Astapo for ourselves." ”

"What the adults said was that I thought it was bad. Luo Kun said with some shame when he heard this.

"It's okay, what you said makes sense, especially the latter sentence, there are indeed many unstable factors in the city and the outside world, and we all need to deal with them one by one. Ma Shen said in a deep voice, "You help me write a notice, send someone to copy it overnight, and post it to the whole city tomorrow." ”

"Okay, my lord" Luo Kun replied, took a piece of paper from the table and prepared to record it, and by answering, he now knew what Ma Shen was thinking.

"First, Astapor prohibits the trade of slaves from this day, and anyone who violates the ban will be killed!"

"Article 2, all slaves of Astapor shall be freed from this date by serving the ruler of Astapor, Count Masan for five years, and soldiers for three years, and those who have merit shall be granted amnesty and immediately released from their chains. ”

"Article 3, Whoever violates the law during the slave period, such as robbery, murder, rape, etc., or participates in opposition to the rule of the Earl of Masin, and refuses to serve the Earl of Synon, shall be reduced to slavery for life, and the offspring shall be reduced to slavery forever. ”

"Fourth, report the misdeeds and intend to oppose the rule of Count Ma Shen, and report the correct one, a reward of 5 gold dragon coins. ”

Ma Shen took a sip of water to moisten his throat: "Okay, let's just do a few first, and after the city is stable, the specific measures are being arranged." ”

"Okay. Luo Kun replied and wrote the last letter on the paper.

Looking at the four orders on the paper, Luo Kun hesitated: "There is a question that I don't know if I should talk about or not?"

"Say it. Ma Shen stretched out his right hand to Luo Kun and motioned to him but said it was okay.

"That's right, sir. Luo Kun frowned and said, "The slaves in the city have not been counted, but they definitely exceed our budget, where do we need them to work? ”

"If you work, there is a large area of land outside the city, we can let them go to farming, the land here belongs to the south, and the crops will grow quickly, or you can also let them make clothing, weapons, and even build roads, mine, and employ people, and there are many places to use people, as for the slave trade, there is no need to worry, Slave Bay is a good trading point, along the coast, at the point where Quiles and the free trade city-state must be reached. Ma Shen tapped lightly on the table and replied.

"As long as we take the whole of Slave Bay into our hands, there will be an endless stream of merchants. ”

Listening to Ma Shen's words, the hearts of everyone present sank.

Slave Bay is a culturally and geographically interconnected region on the Eastern Continent, built on the ruins of the Gugiscali Empire, and is currently the absolute center of the slave trade in the world.

After thousands of years of development, three major cities became the dominant power in Slave Bay: Astapor, Yuankai, and Meereen.

The smallest of the three cities, the Strongkai is closer to Astapor and is known for its arenas and brothels, both of which were busy training and exporting slaves. The city's architecture is very similar to Astapor's, except that it is one size smaller, and most of their buildings are made of yellow brick instead of red brick. The slave traders of Yuankai proclaimed themselves the Maven. Yuankai's defense relied more on an army of untrained slaves and any regiments of mercenaries they could hire.

Meereen was the largest of the three slave cities, with as many inhabitants as Astapor and Yuankai combined. Meereen's architectural style is similar to that of Yuankai and Astapor, but it is built with bricks of various colors. Meereen's main buildings include the Great Pyramid with the Harpy at the top, and the Temple of the Benevolence with a golden dome at the top. Of all the cities of Guise, Meereen is the only one with many temples. The slave traders of Meereen proclaimed themselves great lords.

The three major cities were in constant peaceful competition, doing everything they could to prevent the outbreak of war, and when the Karasa of Dothraki came to attack, they were more inclined to pay them tribute than to repel them.

Since every freeman in Slave Bay was extremely wealthy, the city's army was made up entirely of the sons of wealthy slave traders, who regarded joining the army as a more fun thing than a stage show.

The soldiers were dressed in ornate cloth armor and had their hair curly shaped, flashy and unincapable of fighting at all, and the main defenses of these cities were slave soldiers and mercenary legions.

Most of the slave soldiers were weakened and untrained, with the exception of the famous, obedient, and indestructible army of the Unsullied, Astapor.

In Ma Shen's image, after the fall of Astapor, Yuankai used an army of nearly 4,000 slaves and hired a mercenary group of more than 1,000 people, including the second son and the crow, to protect the city, and then Daenerys lured the crow and ambushed the second son, and then the Maven announced their surrender and released all their slaves.

Then there is Meereen, a regiment of extremely luxuriously equipped spearmen, the soldiers are armed with the traditional bronze scale armor of Giscali and fourteen-foot-long spears, and the rest are scum.

In other words, Ma Shen's current possession of the 20,000 Unsullied Legions could rival all the soldiers in those two cities, not to mention some other slaves who were eager to join the army.

Luo Kun and the bearded captain glanced at each other, and at the same time stood up with a "sway" and walked to Ma Shen and knelt down on one knee.

"I want to follow my lordship. ”

"I want to follow my lordship. ”

At this time, only Knight Laurent had been sitting in his position, his eyes closed, motionless.

This guy is struggling and hesitating, Ma Shen smiled and glanced at Knight Lorent, then retracted his attention, and looked at Luo Kun and the bearded captain who bowed their heads and swore allegiance with a serious expression: "Thank you for your trust, I swear in the name of my ancestor Earl Arazuka, Ma Shen, Flame Master, Champion Knight, Wolf Slayer, Immortal, and Child of Nature, all those who have merit will gain status and honor." ”
