Chapter 19: The Military Song
Listening to the shouts of men and women in the distance, Daenerys couldn't help but be stunned, nothing like this had ever happened before, the young dragon was still young when Quells, about the same size as a dog, and the young dragon at sea from Quells to Astapo did not hurt others.
"I'm going to call them back. ”
"No, Your Highness. Ma Shen stepped in front of Daenerys, "I've sent someone." ”
"Let me pass. ”
Looking at Daenerys' anxious expression, Ma Shen asked indifferently: "I remember that your dragon knights of the Targaryen family have dragon training techniques passed down from Valyria, I wonder if Your Highness will not?"
"The art of dragon training was lost a long time ago. ”
"Then what does Your Highness rely on to tame dragons?" Ma Shen asked without hesitation, "Each dragon knight only has one dragon, that is to say, one dragon recognizes one person, does His Highness have a dragon horn in his hand, or does it depend on His Highness to incubate them with affection?"
Dragonlords are the title of the forty noble families of Valyria, who compete with each other for dominance over the Valyrian Fortress of Freedom, and they are called Dragon Kings because they can control dragons with binding spells and magic horns.
The Dragon's Horn is another name for the magical horn, a Valyrian product with a stripe engraved with a strange ancient Valyrian rune.
When the dragon's horn sounds, it makes a sound like thousands of souls roaring, and it seems as if the bones of those who listen are about to burn, and the scorching flames are scorching people's flesh and blood from the inside out.
Legend has it that when a person without Valyrian blood blows the dragon's horn, the horn will ignite a faint light smoke, and when the trumpeter is finished, the trumpeter's mouth will be covered with blood and blisters, and they will soon die because their lungs have become charred.
In the stable, in the face of Ma Shen's unceremonious words, it was like poking at the pain point, Daenerys's eyes widened, and she said loudly to Ma Shen word by word: "They are my children!
Of course, having said that, in fact, Daenerys was also a little weak in her heart, and in the future, she could only use the messenger to find out how to make the dragon listen to her own words in Valyrian.
"I hope so. Looking at the beautiful face close at hand, as if he could smell the fragrance on Daenerys's body, Ma Shen said lightly, "The war has begun, I am going to liberate the slaves of those slave city-states, you and your young dragon will set off with me, and someone will arrange for you later." ”
"By the way, this white horse has been given to you, you have to treat it well. ”
After saying that, without waiting for Daenerys to reply, Ma Shen left Daenerys standing in place, and turned and walked out of the stable.
After walking and slowly leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Ma Shen saw that on the street on the right, the Unsullied ones were carrying three young dragons with their mouths gagged and their bodies tightly tied.
Sure enough, it is the art of binding, which can make the "powerful" young dragon unable to move, Ma Shen once again made a discovery, any world about the art of tying ropes, it seems that there are some commonalities, as long as you learn to tie pigs, you can tie people, tie horses, tie anything.
Approaching Omar, who was in the lead, "Omar, what about the casualties?"
"The two Unsullied were burned to death by the flames erupted by the young dragon. Omar fell to his knees in disappointment, "Please punish me." ”
Hey, Ma Shen sighed, but didn't say anything: "Do they have relatives?"
"The Unsullied have no relatives. Omar shook his head.
"Then give them freedom and bury them well, and you are responsible for it. “
"Yes, my lord"
After a moment of silence, Ma Shen heard some songs faintly starting to come from outside the city.
"Fight for the glorious army!"
"Fight for freedom!"
"Fight for the King!"
The military song is not an artistic lyric song, it is majestic and heroic, inspires morale, and also shows the characteristics of the army.
The song sung outside the city was composed by Ma Shen and ten troubadours in Astapor, which contained some rhythmic lyrics from the German military song, and was written with the intonation of the song of the world of A Song of Ice and Fire.
The Unsullied did not need a military song to boost morale, but it greatly boosted the morale of other soldiers.
The military song has sounded, the army outside the city should be assembled and about to set off, Ma Shen finally explained to Omar: "Next, you have to make up for your mistakes, and stay behind to help me take charge of protecting Luo Kun's safety." “
As for the task of pacifying the civilians of Astapor, leave it to Luo Kun, Ma Shen timidly looked at his residents of Astapor, believing that he could do it well.
Slaves have been enslaved for a long time, and they have no confidence to confront their slave owners, and the slightest movement will make these long-oppressed slaves suspicious, not to mention that once the army loses, Astapor will become very unstable.
"What about you, my lord?"
"I'm fine, there are so many people around. ”
Patting Omar on the shoulder, Ma Shen walked towards the city gate.
Step by step, as we get closer to the outside of the city, the songs become louder and louder, and the passion and heroism resounded in the sky.
"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!"
"Tears rolled down my mother's face, and my wife was waiting for us in the back. ”
"Whether it's a storm or a snowstorm. ”
"Or the sun smiles for us. ”
"Hot day. ”
"Cold nights. ”
"Dusty faces. ”
"Fight for the glorious army!"
"Fight for freedom!"
"Fight for the King!"
Morale was high, and Ma Shen walked to the gates of the city, where senior officers of all ranks were already waiting.
He took a horse in the soldier's hand, and the horse turned over cautiously.
Only by personally commanding the legion will others be more convinced of their targets.
"Help your lord return triumphantly. Luo Kun saluted respectfully.
"I'll see you in a few days. Ma Shen put on a cold mask.
At the end of the song, the knight, dressed in tall black armor and whose face was covered by a cold mask, slowly rode his horse to the front of the army, pulling the reins, without slogans, without a passionate speech, he only uttered two words:
"Let's go!"
"Toot !!" accompanied by the knight's order, a loud horn sounded instantly, and a group of soldiers began to march neatly under the command of the officer.
In this way, all the slave city-states saw with their own eyes that the ruler of Astapo led countless Unsullied Ones, and the slave legions began to march towards Kaiyuan, so they either went to the ravens to deliver the message or rode their horses themselves to deliver the news.
