Chapter 0958: Power and Profit, Blood and Feud

Drogo arrives at the market with the Hand of the Flame, where there is no one doing business, and the ground is littered with dead people, but all of them are children of harpies. They wore masks, robes, and weapons.

There were blood stains everywhere on the ground, and the soles of your shoes stuck when you walked on the ground.

Drogo followed the trail of the Queen's guards and soon came to the front of a shop that had been burned by a fire, which had been contained by the neighbors around him, and several nearby houses had been burned down.

Hundreds of people carrying buckets and basins are still fighting fires.

Whether there was a murderer or not, Drogo didn't know.

There was no warning of this in his flames.

Now more omens come from the Great Wall of Desperation in Westeros.

He knew it was time for him to go to the Wall, which was why he no longer had family ties with Daenerys. The battle is on the Great Wall, and the consequences are unpredictable. And the omens in the flames show that he can't be with Daenerys. This will affect the great war when winter comes, and it is also related to the prophecy of the Red God.

Drogo walked into the fire, the flames of which could not harm him. In the flames, he saw the armor and weapons of the Queen's guards, as well as the weapons and armor of the Queen's Guard, the captain of the Shorts, whose men had been burned beyond recognition by the fire.

In the fire, more of them died than the children of the Harpy.

The Queen's personal guard and the captain of the guard, the fat short, did not detract from their honor. Even though it was only fifty men, it forced the enemy to kill them by arson.

The Harpy's Son of the Harpy is no match for the Queen's guards, and there are no outstanding generals and skilled assassins. Now that Slave Bay has been unified, Dothraki has been unified, and the nine free trade city-states have been unified, the rest of the East is even more mysterious and hides many untold secrets.

There are some secrets that are better not to touch than to touch. But Drogo no longer has the right to advise the Queen, he believes in the Red God, and he must respect the will of the Red God. Yuankai will be Drogo's last stop. The flames of the Red God kept reminding him every time to stop moving forward and go to Westeros.

Daenerys' gladiator bald captain led fifty guards to kill all the mobs on the street, and then stormed the pyramid of Omsen and fought to the death with the mob inside.

The mob was unexpectedly numerous, rushing out of the rooms, more fearless than the guards could have imagined. The vengeful people, though they are rudimentary in their weapons, are to bite with their teeth, and they do not flinch.

As a result, the guards were locked in a bitter battle. Every time a few enemies fall, one or two of his own brothers must also fall. The bald head was brave and invincible, and when the blade of the sword was reversed, there were more sword wounds on his body.

Daenerys' dragons have gone out to fly freely, and even if they are summoned back with a horn, it will take time. Daenerys sent soldiers to gather the city's army instead of the city's garrison, and the army arrived quickly. They rushed in and killed all the mobs inside, bringing out the body of another captain: the bald head.

The bald head was plotted by a corpse and was stabbed through the calf with a knife. When he knelt down with weak legs, many corpses in front of and behind him were resurrected, stabbed down indiscriminately, and stabbed the bald head more than a dozen times. The bald head killed the corpses, and more mobs poured towards him. They didn't parry, they just pounced on the bald head, knife for knife, life for life, and in the end, the bald head who did not die in the gladiatorial arena was killed by these mobs.

Daenerys walked in under the protection of Mai Main to see that the ground was littered with corpses, and in one place the corpses were stacked high, and the soldiers told the queen that it was the place where the bald heads were leaning against the wall to kill the mob. The mob around the bald head was like ants and eventually bit the elephant to death.

The smell of blood in the air was disgusting, with red blood stains and mutilated corpses everywhere. And these dead people are Daenerys' people, none of them hate Daenerys, they just can't tolerate each other, and they must kill each other.

Daenerys didn't know how she got out, her two captains and one hundred of the most elite guards were killed in the incident, half killed by his people, and half set on fire by the organization of the Harpy Sons.

Daenerys, the Harpy's son's revenge, is acceptable, it's the enemy, but why do her people kill each other in such a drastic way? Whoever breaks the law is not afraid of death, they are not really bad people, but they are not afraid of sacrifice to gather to do such a thing, why is that?

Daenerys didn't know how she got back to the Great Pyramid, and when Jorah Mormont and the others rushed back, the riots everywhere had basically subsided, and the army dispatched to quickly sweep away those mobs, and in Daenerys's heart, those people were not mobs, but the people she wanted to take care of.

Daenerys listened to one centurion after another, until Omson and other political advisors arrived.

The Omson Advisors were all former Mavens of Yuankai, and their pyramids were all attacked by mobs at the same time. The families of many political advisers have been mercilessly killed. They came to meet the queen because she had promised to keep them safe when they surrendered.

This left Daenerys speechless.

After listening to everyone's petition, it was getting late, and Daenerys didn't get a drop of water. Although the bodies of Ellie, Kiki, and Doria have not yet been found, according to Varys's investigation, they must have been killed. After a bloody slaughter in the market, the dwarf led fifty guards to fight several enemies in formation, and counted more than two hundred enemy corpses.

In Yuankai City, where the queen has stationed elite soldiers, the enemy still kills the queen's captain of the guard and fifty very elite guards, which shows that in the city, in some local places, the enemy's strength will be superior to his own strength, and once these places appear, it means vendetta.

This is definitely not a good thing.

Daenerys captured Meereen, Yuankai, and Astapo and liberated Slave Bay, but the war didn't end there. The enemy comes from the children of the Harpy, but also from their own people.

Daenerys didn't want to go to war with her own people, and she didn't want her army to slaughter them. But what if the people gather again and must kill the magistrate?

There are very few people among the common people who know how to read, and even fewer people who understand government affairs, trade, and military affairs, and there are almost no people. It is difficult to find the right government officials among the people. There is not just one administrative officer, but a lot of people.

The redistribution of land outside the city, and the measurement, calculation, and division of population on new land, all require people who are proficient in personnel and calculations. There are even too few people among the civilian population who can calculate.

"Your Majesty, you don't look good, you need to go and rest. Varys said softly.

Daenerys looked at the respectful Varys, "I can't sleep. My lords, what should I do if there are civilians who organize to murder the magistrate in the future?"

"All the people in the square were hanged, their heads were cut off and the tips of their guns were put in their guns, and their bodies were thrown out of the city to feed the dogs. General Argo said.

"Have the pastor preach the new law throughout the city every day. Varys said.

"No one will come to hear the new law. Master Gratzdan said.

"Those who come to listen will be given silver coins, and those who report the revenge organization will be given gold coins. Varys said.

"But they are my people. Daenerys said, "I don't want to kill them." ”

"If you don't kill them, they'll kill your magistrate. The Green Saintess said.

"How do you resolve the conflict between them?" Daenerys said.

"Transfer the administrative officer of Yuan Kai to Astapor, transfer the administrative officer of Astapo to Meereen, and transfer the administrative officer of Meereen to Astapor. Varys gave a second piece of advice.

"We'll have to discuss this with Ormson and them. Daenerys said. She didn't have any bottom in her heart. Ormson and the others are gone, and Daenerys fears that they will reach out to the Harpy Son and secretly become their enemies.

"Go find Drogo. Daenerys said.

Drogo is the High Priestess of the Red God, and she now needs divine guidance.

Jorah immediately sent a team of guards to call on Drogo, and soon the soldier returned with a letter in his hand.

"Your Majesty, Drogo and his Hand of the Flame have left the city after dark. ”

"Out of town, where did you go?"

"I didn't know that there was only this letter in Drogo's tent. ”

The letter was not sealed with tin wax, and there was no writing on it. Zogo Kao used to not be able to write letters, and he didn't know how to write.

Daenerys opened the letter, which was simple: since leaving the Dothraki steppe and entering Slaver's Bay, Drogo had seen God's signs in the flames, suggesting that it was time for him to go to the Wall. Tonight, he has set out with his Flame Hand. They rode back to the Dothraki steppe, then crossed the entire steppe into the territory of the nine free trade city-states, and finally returned to Valantis, where they took a boat and crossed the Narrow Sea to a port called Donghaiwang.

At the end of the letter, Drogo says that Daenerys will encounter a continuous riot in Slaver's Bay, and that the person who can resolve the riot will have the face of Will on the other side of the Narrow Sea in the flames.

Daenerys remembers Will who helped her find the dragon, taught her dragon language and use the dragon's horn. However, Will conquered Dorne on the other side of the Narrow Sea, and Daenerys received a steady stream of letters from Prince Dorne Martell, but there were very few letters from Will himself.

From Prince Doran Martell's letter, Daenerys has always been aware of the advance of the war in Dorne, and she writes a letter to Will to intercede on behalf of Prince Doro, but Will does not reply. For some time, Prince Doro's letter was broken, and now Will has killed Dorou or not, and whether Dorne has been completely conquered, Daenerys doesn't know.

Daenerys read Drogo's letter several times, and finally decided that she would rely on her own strength to stabilize Slave Bay, and not bother Lord Will to come here to help her again. She owes Will so much that she can't pay it off.

Just because Will taught her the language of dragons and gave her the horns of two dragons, male and female, was already a reinvention of Entong.

The current situation seems a little tricky, and Daenerys doesn't think she can't control it. She has a large army in her hands, who dares to disobey. The only demon in her heart is that she is not willing to kill. Killing the rioting civilians? These are the people who respect her very much; Killing the virtuous lord, the great lord and the good lord? These people are all surrenderers, and those who surrender are not killed, this is the minimum honor and morality of a king, which cannot be desecrated.

A few days later, one night in Astapo.

Cocoa, there was a very polite knock on the door.

It was time to rest after dinner, and Cecil was resting on the balcony of his little pyramid, when the servant opened the door, and it was Master Cleon and his two soldiers.

The servant smiled and welcomed Cleon, who had a high prestige among the freedmen of Astapor, and many of them liked and adored him.

"Where's the Bachelor?"

"On the balcony, my lord. ”

The servant wanted to take Cleon up, but Cleon politely stopped him: "You go down and rest, don't be busy, I don't drink alcohol, I don't need tea, just say a few words to the bachelor."

"Yes, sir!" said the servant, clasping his hands together.

Cleon came to the balcony, and the maester heard the sound of soft footsteps, and he opened his eyes, and then saw Cleon's unkind eyes. Behind Cleon stood two freeman soldiers, both with daggers in their hands and poor eyes.

The bachelor looked calm, and he stood up, "Lord Cleon, it looks like you have something to worry about?"

"Yes, I'm annoyed. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"I want to be an administrative officer in Astapor. ”

The bachelor was stunned: "Lord Cleon, I can't be the master of this, we are appointed by Her Majesty." ”

"I know. Her Majesty has also said that the people of Astapo have the right to elect their own consuls, and that she will not interfere in the election of Astapor as long as they obey her orders and jurisdiction, and obey her unified command. You and the priest and the doctor are temporary councilors appointed by Her Majesty, but not the real elected councilors, and after you have elected me to sit in the Great Pyramid, I will write to Her Majesty and tell her that I am your joint election. ”

"But I'm not going to put you up to be the administrative officer. ”

"Then let's have a city-wide election. ”

"I'm not going to approve a city-wide election. ”

Cleon sneered: "Bachelor, don't forget that there are also doctors and priests, as long as the two of them agree, Astapo can implement an elected vote." ”

"Her Majesty has given us a minimum period of one year to govern Astapor, Lord Cleon. And, as I understand it, you don't know how to read. ”

"I would find someone who knew how to write and write the law and issue proclamations for me. Cleon said.

"I'm sorry, my lord, but I'm not going to pick a butcher to lead Astapor, you don't have the talent for that. ”

"Oh, is it?" said Cleon, "Cecil, between ten thousand gold coins and a knife, what do you choose?"

"I choose to be loyal to Her Majesty. ”

"Sorry, there is no option, you can only choose the same between gold coins and knives. ”

"You will be burned to ashes by Her Majesty's dragon. The legion of the Unsullied, loyal to Her Majesty the Queen, is also here and is not gone. ”

"Her Majesty's legion will not interfere in the elections of Astapor. ”

"Are you going to murder me?" said the Bachelor.

"I won't, but if you fall off the balcony and die, it has nothing to do with me. Cleon waved his hand, and the two soldiers immediately grabbed the bachelor and threw him off the high balcony.
