Chapter 0945 - Emancipating the Slaves

The advantage of the cavalry was in speed.

Lane warfare is indeed not a cavalry forte.

The legions of the Unsullied are pressed from every street, men like walls, guns like forests.

The spear pierces the horse, and the horse that loses speed and space is the target.

Jorah Mormont didn't expect the Unsullied Legion to be so strong, and he hesitated to shrink his forces and let the Dothraki cavalry defend the northern gate. But he did not give the order because he knew that if he gave the order to retreat, he would be defeated.

Although he watched the cavalry fall one by one, Jorah Mormont did not blow the horn of retreat.

Once the horn of retreat was blown, what the result would be, Jorah Mormont knew in his heart.

At present, the casualties are indeed heavy, but because it is an offensive horn, the team is still struggling to advance. The cavalry behind them came in a steady stream of courage, constantly filling their positions.

But the Legion of the Unsullied Legion flocked from every street to fight more and more, filling every street.

Thirty thousand Meereen's legions were jammed here, including mercenaries, the Magi Slave Legions, and the Dirty, three times as many as the more than 10,000 Slavic cavalry.

Jorah Mormont decided to hold on until Aquaman's men came out from behind the enemy.

Fighting back and forth, slave warriors and the Unsullied will be defeated.

It will come at a heavy cost, but it will end in victory.

One by one, the cavalry fell, and one horse after another was stabbed to death with spears.

The array spears of the Unsullied Legion, though powerful, were still retreating step by step. And here, it is blood and lives that are paid.

Jorah Mormont ordered the messenger to sound the call for urgent help.

He knew that victory was his, and Meereen was his, but if the Dothraki died too much in the end, he would not be able to account to Daenerys.

Jorah felt like she was living her days.

His heralds were all blowing their horns desperately: Woo woo woo - woo woo - woo woo - woo woo -

But he still felt that Aquaman was coming so slowly.

But the truth is that Aquaman's soldiers came very quickly.

For fear of being counterattacked by the Maven of Meereen, the Sea King led his generals to attack the pyramids first, and one by one the pyramids were taken, all the masters and servants inside were captured, and all the guards were killed.

In the center of the city, the Great Pyramid, a symbol of Meereen's supreme power, has been taken by the Sea King, seven of the fifteen Great Magi have been swept away, and the ruling Grand Magi Yarman's house is under siege, and the Sea King hopes to finally force Yarman to come out and surrender, or else kill their entire family.

When Jorah's trumpet sounded to summon support, Aquaman immediately ordered his soldiers to divide into two routes, all the way to continue the siege of the pyramid, all the way to the north gate, to reinforce Jorah Mormont.

Reinforcements came very quickly, about fifteen thousand people.

They attacked from behind the Unsullied, and in every alley, in every street, there were people fighting.

Jorah Mormont heard a deafening shout of killing in the distance, and he knew that Aquaman's men were coming.

Chora Mormont immediately drew his sword, ran down from the wall, mounted his horse, and led the remaining eighty guards to charge down. The Unsullied Legion was flanked in front and back, and they fell, and the ranks quickly collapsed.

The Unsullied legions were defeated, and the mercenaries and slave warriors fled in all directions.

The Dothraki distanced themselves from the enemy, rain of arrows into the camp of the routing enemy.

The tide has turned!

The north gate was taken, the enemy troops fell, and the slaughter from the front and back caused a river of blood to flow down the streets.

Victory was in sight, but Jorah Mormont was not happy, and the Dothraki had suffered heavy casualties in the previous street fighting.

The Sea King himself continued to sweep the pyramids in the city with his army, and one by one he captured the pyramids, and the Maven of each family was captured by him.

Standing at the top of the pyramid, the ruling Maven Yarman, seeing that the tide was turning, ordered the slave warriors of his family to open the gate of the pyramid and come out and surrender.

Aquaman accepted Yarman's surrender on the condition that Yarman go and recruit the other Mavens.

In the name of the consul, Yarman first sent down the order, ordering all the slave warriors, mercenaries, and unsullied people who were still fighting everywhere to lay down their arms and surrender.

The slave warriors and the Unsullied legions, as well as the mercenary regiments hired by the Maven at great expense, were already unable to support them, and became a defeated army that had been slaughtered one-sidedly, and when the order came, they dropped their weapons and chose to surrender.

It was not dawn, and the battle was over.

The entire city of Meereen was filled with blood.

Fires burned in many places, and Jorah Mormont ordered the fires to be extinguished.

Soldiers from both sides worked together to put out the fire, and the fire was quickly contained.

After daybreak, the fire was extinguished. Fifteen Mavens formally surrendered to Jorah Mormont in the Great Pyramid.

*

A few days later, the Unsullied and Dothraki on duty on the walls of Mereen saw a large bird appear in the sky, and the big bird flew closer and grew in size, and the Dothraki cheered on the walls, while the Unsullied looked up, and everyone looked up in horror.

A behemoth covered in scales, with a hideous head, several times larger than an elephant, flew in the sky, and on the back of a giant monster with hideous black barbs on its long neck, rode a stunning girl. The Dothraki cheered in unison, and the Unsullied warriors were shocked.

After seeing the power of the Unsullied, Jorah Mormont collected all of the Unsullied army, with 7,000 of his 10,000 cavalry remaining and 6,000 new infantry, of which 4,000 were Unsullied warriors.

Neither the slave warriors nor the surrendered mercenary corps have been regrouped, waiting for Daenerys to come and make arrangements.

Daenerys arrives on her red dragon, much to the surprise of Jorah Mormont, Daenerys' mount is a black dragon, but neither the black dragon nor the green dragon are there.

Three dragons, the red dragon being the smallest.

*

The Great Pyramid.

The center of power in Meereen.

Daenerys sat on a high staircase, which was different from the seventh step in King's Landing, where there were nineteen steps, and at the bottom of the staircase was where the people stood. On either side of the staircase, on one step was a Dothraki guard.

Daenerys has blonde hair and purple eyes, and she is breathtakingly beautiful, but her face is a little weak, and I don't know if it's because of flying.

Jorah Mormont and Aquaman stood on either side of Daenerys, one on the left and the other on the right, and they were only one step lower than Daenerys.

The fifteen great magnates of Meereen gathered at the foot of the steps, everyone was shocked by Daenerys' beauty, and Yarman's eyes were even more straight, his wife had been dead for many years, and he had been single for many years, and Yarman was shocked when he saw Daenerys.

"Maven, who of you is the Archon?" Daenerys said.

Yarman walked out: "Back to Her Majesty, I am this year's Archon of Meereen. ”

"What's your name?"

"Yarman Daznak. ”

The consuls of the jungle are elected once a year?"

"Yes, Her Majesty. ”

"Master Yarman Daznak, I am going to announce that Meereen will free all slaves and set all slaves free, will you agree?"

"I can't agree, Your Majesty. How can untouchables be free, unless they have extraordinary skills that are appreciated by Her Majesty, or they are rewarded with freedom for victory in the gladiatorial arena, and besides, slaves are slaves, and they cannot be free for the rest of their lives, which is also the will of the gods. ”

Aquaman was furious and snorted heavily.

Braavos was a free city-state founded by slaves who had escaped from the Valyrian Empire, and the core idea of the Braavos people was to emancipate slaves and make each slave truly free.

"The Colosseum?"

"It's the gladiators' arena, the most popular form of entertainment in the city of Slave Bay, loved by everyone, including the lowly slaves. Many slave warriors gained freedom and honor in the gladiatorial arena. ”

"Oh, I'm going to order the entire city to close the arena. Daenerys said.

"No!" said many of the Magi's in unison.

Yarman said, "Your Majesty, the Arena is also your most important tax. Athletic performance is the entertainment program that people are most willing to spend money to watch, every time a competition is held, it will bring a lot of rich returns, and many of the big nobles and tycoons of the East and the West have come to us to watch the competition. ”

"Lord Yarman, in every competitive game, when it makes people revelry and gamblers excited, it is the lives of warriors who die. This is bloody and cruel, slaves are also people, every slave is a living person, people have no right to enslave another person, they are not pigs, dogs, cows and sheep. ”

"Slaves are worse than pigs, dogs, cows and sheep, Your Majesty. ”

Daenerys frowned, she looked at the Sea King whose heart was full of scorching flames, and said, "Lord Sea King, according to the rules of Slave Bay, if one of the two warring parties is defeated, can the other side enslave the defeated as slaves?"

"Yes, Her Majesty. ”

Daenerys nodded and looked at Lord Yarman: "Lord Yarman, I now deprive you of your status as a Maven, according to the rules of war, you are the defeated side and captured by Lord Aquaman, so, you are now a slave of Lord Aquaman." Lord Aquaman, I now give you all the members of the Daznak family as slaves, and please accept my reward. ”

"Yes, Her Majesty. Aquaman said with great joy.

Yarman Daznak was shocked. The seven sons beside him all had earthy faces. Of Yarman's twelve sons, five were killed in battle, leaving seven sons.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to send someone to the armory to collect slave collars and slave chains, I am afraid that the Yarman slaves will escape, and his family is large, and there are more than a hundred people after the war, in order to prevent them from escaping or rebelling, I need to use slave chains to tie their hands and feet." ”

"How can the slaves who are locked up work for you?"

"Your Majesty, the slave chains are cleverly designed and do not affect people's work, but if they want to escape, the first is that they will jingle, the second is that they have a small stride and cannot run fast, and thirdly, this is also a sign of slaves, no matter where they go, when people look at this chain, they will know that it is a slave who is on the run, and someone will catch them and send them back. ”

"I see, I approved. Daenerys said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yarman Daznak's face was like dirt, and all seven of his sons were alarmed, from the Great Maven to the slave, it was only a matter of Her Majesty's words.

"My Most Exalted Majesty, Yarman submits to you and swears allegiance to you, but requests Her Majesty to withdraw the order, and I agree that Her Majesty will abolish slavery and restore the freedom of the slaves of Meereen. Her Majesty wants to close the arenas, and I obey Her Majesty's orders to close the four arenas of my family at once, and give freedom to every family gladiator. ”

"You agree with me freeing all the slaves?"

"Wholeheartedly support Your Majesty's emancipation of all slaves and the abolition of slavery. Wholeheartedly support Her Majesty in closing all arenas in Meereen. Yarman said hurriedly.

Daenerys stared at Yarman: "Yarman, you ask the Maven around you to see if they agree with me to abolish slavery, free all of Meereen's slaves, and shut down all arenas in Meereen. ”

All the fifteen Mavens said in unison: "We wholeheartedly support Her Majesty's decision. ”

Daenerys said, "Anyone who is not willing to support my abolition of slavery, stand up, and I am willing to listen to you." ”

No one stepped forward!

Whoever dares to stand up, Daenerys will turn whoever he is a slave and make his family a slave.

As the vanquished, the victorious side has the right to turn all the vanquished sides into slaves. War itself is the fastest and best way to get slaves.

The next day. The black-pressed Dothraki cavalry and the legions of the nine free trade city-states came to Meereen City one after another, and the army entered Meereen, from morning to night, the procession flowed continuously, and the people of the entire Meereen City were shocked. After night, countless torches continued to descend the city of Meereen, and stood on the city walls, and the torches of the army like dragons were connected to the sky.

With such a huge military force, all the sages in Meereen City were amazed and couldn't sleep all night.

Madam Yarman, who was originally fascinated by Daenerys' beauty, chose to commit suicide on this night after being stripped of his Maven status by Daenerys and freeing all his slaves, after witnessing a part of Daenerys' huge army.

His seven sons also disappeared from the pyramid of the family before dawn and disappeared.

Until dawn, there was an endless stream of troops arriving.

It took three days for Daenerys' army of 200,000 to enter Meereen from the steppe. The city of Meereen, in and around the square, and in the nearby flatlands, were all inhabited by the Queen's legion.

The momentum was so great that the Mavens of Yuankai and Astapo fled with their diehard warriors of gold and silver, and slaves. The Maven went east, several slave cities, and took with them an army of fifty thousand.

Daenerys didn't care, she gathered all the slaves of Meereen and announced that each of them would be restored to freedom, and the soldiers' work of helping the slaves remove the iron collars from their necks took a full five days, and the iron collars of hundreds of thousands of slaves were piled up, and Daenerys ordered them all to be melted down and made into iron embryos.

A few days later, Daenerys officially convened the Meereen Council and began accepting petitions from her people.
