Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Mountain of Human Heads

A month later, the docks of Stormwind (formerly Meereen).

The clear wind blew the calm sea, rippling layers of ripples, bringing with it the smell of the sea and... The smell of plaster mixed with the smell of blood.

In a clearing on the docks, hundreds of Unsullied people stood in a straight line, behind them craftsmen wearing masks piling up materials such as the heads of Dzeko tribesmen and plaster cast like a hill.

The reason why it is necessary to match raw materials such as gypsum is because sometimes the wind on the dock will be stronger, for the stability of this hill, the Storm Kingdom specially organized some craftsmen to glue each head with special glue, and at the same time, Ma Shen also planned to use this human head mountain as a landmark building in the future Storm Kingdom, so he gave up the practice of random stacking, but gathered all the human heads together and piled them up, so that it was more deterrent.

Every head in the "building" has a hideous face, and after being pickled in a special way, it is still bloodstained, and it becomes even more hideous and distorted, which is simply a hellish scenery, which makes everyone who sees this hill a little frightened, and even the craftsmen are very frightened.

The good thing is that it deters the young people, and no one dares to make trouble, because they are afraid that they will also become a part of this head mountain, which is even more sad than killing them.

Strangely, though, the hill did not make the docks desolate, but rather prosperous.

A steady stream of mercenaries and bounty hunters gather here to receive their rewards, and along with these mercenaries and bounty hunters are a large number of merchants.

Hunting the members of the Dzeko tribe inevitably got injured, so the merchants arrived at Stormwind with a large amount of medicine.

And when they get paid, the mercenaries always have to relax, buy, buy, eat, drink, and snap, so more businessmen who see the business opportunity travel thousands of miles to Stormwind City by ship with their goods.

As for the head mountain, ahem, the merchants also think it is terrifying, so they just treat it as if it does not exist, and they can't see it, and concentrate on making money and slaughtering these bold mercenaries.

"Look, it's a mercenary who just came back!"

A group of mercenaries carrying bags had just walked to the dock when a group of sharp-eyed merchants immediately surrounded them.

"Come and see, pure Quells wine, only fifteen silver deer!"

"Sharp Dothraki scimitars, five silver deer and one recovery. ”

"Recycle the war horse at a high price!"

"Recycle war horses at a high price?" Ma Shen, who was standing on the wooden platform with the minister in the distance to inspect the docks, had good ears, and turned his head suddenly, he heard this sentence very clearly, "Gray worm." ”

"Your Majesty?" the vigilant gray bug turned.

"Send someone to arrest the merchant who shouted for a high price to recycle the war horse and pay the fine, and the war horse can only be recovered by the Storm Kingdom official. ”

"Yes. ”

After watching a few of the Unsullied run towards the hapless merchant as he had ordered, Ma Shen turned his attention back to the human head building.

"Luo Kun, do you say that everyone else will call us barbarians in the future? ”

"Then Your Majesty's purpose will not be achieved. Luo Kun sniffled as he spoke.

Previously, when Ma Shen proposed to pile up the heads of the Dzeko tribe into a building to deter other forces from coveting the nascent Stormwind Kingdom, the ministers did not object to the proposal itself, but from the relationship with the other Dothraki.

At that time, only the Minister of National Taxation, Viscount Luo Kun, frowned with some disgust, but he didn't say much, because this was a national strategic requirement, and he was not like the "benevolent" Confucianism in ancient China, no matter whether it was justified or not, as long as the monarch made a move that they were not accustomed to, he would be admonished to death.

Noticing Luo Kun's expression, Ma Shen said with some amusement: "Isn't it weird?"

"It's okay. ”

"To be honest, it does smell a little weird. Ma Shen himself couldn't help but sigh his nose, if it was a single gypsum smell or blood smell, it would be bearable, but the smell of seawater, gypsum, and blood mixed together was a little refreshing.

"Time is too short, so this ... Luo Kun was slightly entangled, "So this building still exudes some strange smells, and in a few days, maybe the smell will be much lighter." ”

"Possibly, but I think it's going to be a long time before the smell is gone. ”

Hearing this, Luo Kun lowered his head slightly, his majesty meant that he felt that this "building" was not majestic enough.

"When the building is finished, the right to choose a name will be given to you. ”

"Uh... I don't think I'm qualified to name this building, so your majesty should choose a name for it. Of course Luo Kun is unwilling, naming the first human head building in history is such a thing that does not conform to the status of the nobility, it is better not to do it or not.

"In that case, I'll talk about it then. Ma Shen didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to stare at some of the craftsmen who were forcibly adding bricks and tiles to this strange building, "They are all willing to accept the golden dragon as the currency of settlement." ”

"Yes. Luo Kun knew that they were referring to the mercenaries, "Because of the iron and gold stocks, they are happy to use the golden dragon as payment. ”

"That's good. Looking at the construction of the dock "building" with satisfaction, Ma Shen stroked the red slaughter sword hanging from his waist, "Let's go, let's go to other places to have a look." ”

He was about to turn around, but he saw Hebrew, who was in charge of intelligence, walking briskly towards him.

Before the person arrived, Ma Shen's expression became solemn, and being able to make Hebrew in such a hurry means that there is something very important.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Hebrew walked quickly to Ma Shen, and without saluting, he said directly and hurriedly, "Your Majesty, a spy has come back to report that a large number of Dothraki cavalry are converging on the Dzeko tribe. ”

Ma Shen's heart suddenly tightened: "How many cavalry!"

"At least thirty thousand. “

"How is that possible!?" Luo Kun, who knew the Dothraki people in detail, blurted out, "There are very few different Dothraki tribes that can be united, and 30,000 cavalry requires at least five or more Dothraki tribes to piece together. ”

"Doshikarin, it's Doshikarin. Ma Shen muttered, "Even the most powerful Kao has to submit to the wisdom and authority of Doshikarin, and this is a big problem." ”

"But why would Doshkarin be in charge of a Dothraki tribe at war with other forces?"

Ma Shen didn't think of the reason, it could be because of the existence of the dragon mother, Kalixi, it could be for the three dragons, of course, it could also be that Ma Shen was unlucky, and he happened to meet the Dothraki people when they wanted to show off their strength, kill chickens and respect monkeys, and the Storm Kingdom was that chicken.

But in any case, the discussion of what is the reason is already secondary, and now the most important thing is ....... When will the war begin.

"Let's go, let's go back to the Great Pyramid. "The situation is urgent, Ma Shen doesn't have time to inspect the city again, "Gray worm, send someone to gather all the ministers, I need to convene a royal council." ”

"Yes. ”

On the way back to the Great Pyramid, countless thoughts flashed through Ma Shen's mind.

Bang Da Da ...... Bang Da Da ......

When we were about to reach the Great Pyramid, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly appeared.

At first it was still far away, but it was getting closer and closer, and it seemed to be coming straight to the Great Pyramid.

Hearing the voice, Ma Shen's eyes widened suddenly.

How can there be a sound of horses' hooves?

It is forbidden to ride horses in the city, and who dares to do that?

"Report the !!" There were already shouts and the roar of the crowd in the distance, getting closer and closer.

"Hurry, hurry, get out of the way! Urgent!!"

The cavalry, dressed in military armor and covered in dust, with a stiff red face and chapped lips, seemed to have arrived from far away.

He rode his horse and galloped to a short distance from Ma Shen, turned over and jumped off his horse, and knelt in front of Ma Shen with a rolling wheel, his voice was extremely hoarse and panting like a cow, and he shouted: "Urgent! Your Majesty, urgent information! Two days ago, countless Dothraki suddenly appeared and surrounded Jefengton Fort, and the legion commander sent us to break through and ask for your help!"

Hearing this, Ma Shen's brows furrowed instantly, Hebrew had just received information here, but he didn't expect the Dothraki to surround Jefengton Fort in the next moment, and it was indeed the Dothraki on horseback, and the movement speed was really amazing.
