Chapter 0955: Ruling the Legion of the Unsullied
Grazdan was the first to kneel. He is the head of the training of the Unsullied in Astapor, and he has great authority and real power. As soon as he knelt, all the good lords knelt together.
"Dear Mother of Dragons, I am Grazdan Mo Urjo, and the good lords of Astapo are about to petition Her Majesty for their surrender. Gratztan's lingua franca wasn't good, but Daenerys understood it.
The hundred-meter-high pyramid is planted with a variety of trees, vines and flowers, and silk lanterns of various colors hang from the trees of the Great Pyramid, layer upon layer, covering the entire pyramid.
Daenerys fell in love with this rare height and huge pyramid at first sight.
Astapor is a red city, with streets, walls, pyramids, and houses made of red brick. Daenerys doesn't want to destroy the city with Long Yan again, she wants to keep it all as it is.
It is an ancient city with roots in the Guise and Valyrian empires, and Daenerys has no intention of killing other cities after destroying the pyramids of Yuankai.
Throwing away the head of the great lord of Yuankai is nothing but a tactic.
A bag of human heads was thrown down, and the effect was immediate, much to Daenerys' delight.
The black dragon descended slowly, and the red dragon and the green dragon guarded on both sides.
Daenerys came alone this time with three dragons, carrying the aftermath of conquering Yuankai.
Yuan Kai has been conquered, and the news must have reached Astapor.
Once the three most powerful cities of Slave Bay are taken, the small island nation in the bay and the other small cities will be victorious without a fight.
Daenerys got off the black dragon's back and stood next to it, her beauty daring to look at her.
"Who is the good master in charge of training the Unsullied?" Daenerys asked, grim expression.
The good lords trembled, and the air from the dragon's snort was hot. The dragon's huge size and the reflection of the scale armor on its body, as well as the dazzling grim, hideous and terrifying dragon head, gave people an unprecedented oppression.
Low in the sky, there are two giant dragons flying slowly, which is daunting. No good lord wants to test the power of these three dragons.
"Your Majesty, I am the Good Lord of the Unsullied Ones. Gratz said with little confidence.
He was afraid that the queen would give an order, and the black dragon would spew flames and burn him to ashes.
The dragon was not far from him, and no one could escape the dragon's dragon at such a distance. The dragon's momentum enveloped him, immobilizing Gratzdan.
"Give me your unsullied power. "Daenerys came prepared. Before coming, she had learned in detail about the Unsullied Legion's mode of control.
The Unsullied only recognizes the leader of the army, and the leader of the army has a short-handled scepter, which is the same thing as the talisman of the Unsullied Legion. All the Unsullied, from a few years old, have been impressed by the short-handled scepter, and by the time they have grown up to become unsullied warriors, they have made the short-handled scepter their only belief in power.
Whoever has mastered the short-handled scepter, the words that come out are military orders.
To control Astapor, you must first master the Unsullied Scepter.
No matter how mentally prepared Grazdan was, Daenerys was visibly hesitant when he asked him to hand over the scepter. It was something he had mastered for decades, and the scepter had been polished smooth like jade by his palm, and the scepter had accompanied him from adolescence to youth to middle age, witnessing the best years of most of his life.
Daenerys' gaze pressed over Grazdan. The Unsullied Officer behind Grazdan looked at Daenerys' eyes glowing, a gaze that bordered on god-like worship. Daenerys had seen a lot of similar gazes, and was familiar with them. The leader of the Unsullied Legion can't help but follow her.
Grazdan slowly pulled the scepter out of his bosom.
At Daenerys' sudden 'visit', none of the conditions for peace that the good lords of Astapor had previously met to discuss were proposed. The black dragon was so shocking that the fear made people cringe. The desire to survive overwhelms the desire for power and wealth.
On the city walls, the heavily fortified legions of the Unsullied are useless to Daenerys and the dragons.
Daenerys took the Unsullied Military Command Scepter from Grazdan's hand, "Grazdan, I appreciate your loyalty, please teach me how to use it." ”
Before Daenerys arrived, she had learned all the secrets of wielding the Unsullied Scepter from the Great Lord of Abyss, Ormson. Omson has a good personal relationship with Grazdan, and he tells Daenerys all about Grazdan's character and secrets.
In Astapor, as long as you control the Unsullied Legion, you control Astapor. As long as the good lords lose control of the Unsullied, they are nothing.
Grazdan did not see Ormson's head among the great lords rolling to the ground, and if Omson surrendered to Daenerys, then Grazdan's secret could not be hidden.
Gratzdan didn't joke with his life, he obediently told Daenerys all the secrets of how the Unsullied Scepter commanded the Unsullied, and no one dared to mention anything they had discussed in their meeting.
Daenerys said to the Unsullied officer behind Grazdan, "General, what's your name?"
"My name is Greyworm, Her Majesty. The gray worm immediately knelt down on one knee and looked down at his toes.
"Gray worm, you are free now, you can choose to go home or you can choose to leave, to live whatever life you want, you are now free, no one comes to enslave you anymore, and you are not anyone's slave anymore. ”
The gray worm stared at the scepter and raised his head: "Doesn't Her Majesty need me to follow?"
"If you want to follow me, not because you are a slave, but because you are free. You are a free man, like these good masters. ”
"I am willing to be a slave of Her Majesty. ”
"Her Majesty has only free men and no slaves around her. ”
"I willingly follow Her Majesty as a free man. ”
"Very well, you are now my Commander of the Unsullied, come here. ”
"Yes, Her Majesty. ”
Daenerys flashed the military command scepter to the Grey Worm, "Grey Worm, pass the order and summon all the Unsullied to Pride Square. ”
Pride Square was an open market where slave owners took their customers to watch their slaves, with a red brick fountain in the center of the square, and a bronze statue of the Astapo Harpy on top of the fountain.
Daenerys knows Pride Square, which shows that she has put a lot of effort into the geography of Astapor's city.
"Yes, Her Majesty. I'll need the Scepter to muster the other five legions of the Unsullied. ”
The Grey Worm is at the helm of an army of three thousand Unsullied.
The Unsullied are all legions of 3,000 men, and each legion has only one leader.
Daenerys gives the Order Scepter to Grey Bug.

Chapter 0955-2 Diffuse – Mother
Inside Pride Square.
There are 20,000 innocent ones neatly arranged.
Daenerys held the scepter in her hand, and walked through the neat phalanx in the company of the gray worms, and she spoke loudly, so that the eyes of each warrior looked at herself, and saw the scepter held aloft in her hand.
In the sky above the city of Astapor, three dragons circled and flew, attracting the attention of the slaves of the city.
"Brothers of the Unsullied Legion, I am Daenerys Targaryen, the Liberator of Dragonstone, the Unburner, the Mother of Dragons, the Governor of the Nine Free Trade City-States, the Kalisi of the Dothraki of the Prairie, the Slave Emancipator, Queen Meereen, the Queen of Yuankai, the Liberator of Astapor, the Conqueror of Essos, and the Queen of the One and Only Continent------ Daenerys Targaryen. ”
The audience was silent, and every innocent person remained motionless and expressionless. They were all in black armor, armed with spears, and had a round iron shield on their backs. The tall buildings and pyramids of Pride Square were filled with slaves and civilians from all over the city, as well as the city garrison and good lords.
"The reason why I chose to be in Pride Square is because today I am proud to announce that you are all proud of your freedom, no longer slaves, you have freedom. Any warrior who wants to go home can immediately drop his gun and go home to reunite with his parents, and if he does not want to go home, he can swear to be my warrior and follow me to conquer other cities in the East. ”
Daenerys looked around, and not a single soldier dropped his weapon and left.
"All the brethren of the Unsullied, you are all free. Untie the slave collar around your neck, and from now on, you can do whatever you want. Looking at the scepter, everything I said was true. I now command you that those who want to leave leave immediately do so, and those who want to stay will stay. Go or stay, no one can force you. ”
The warriors remained motionless.
Daenerys momentarily wondered if the authority of the scepter in her hand was real.
"Your Majesty, we are all slaves, and every brother is homeless. We have been bought here by the Lord for training since we were children, and only one out of every three people survives. Although you have liberated us now, we have no home, no place to go. ”
Daenerys walked up to the high platform of Pride Square, and she raised the scepter in her hand: "Brothers, who have been freed, now I command you to untie the slave collar around your neck, and you are all free." ”
With a bang, all the Unsullied put down their spears together, reached out together, untied the slave collar from their necks, and threw the collar on the ground together.
The movements of 20,000 people were not chaotic at all, as if one person was untying a slave collar.
Daenerys was completely stunned by the neatness and order of the Unsullied!
The combat power of such an army can be imagined.
The Unsullied legions are all spears and shields, and they have no cavalry. This is the complete opposite of the legions of the Dothraki steppe, which are all cavalry, no infantry, and the warriors are all Arak scimitars and bows and arrows.
Daenerys said excitedly: "Brothers, I know that there is a punishment square not far from here, it is in the direction of the main gate of Astapor, the punishment square is a bloody place dedicated to the hanging of slaves, for many years, those slaves who bravely stand up against the good master will be punished or executed there. Now I declare that in Astapor, there will be no Place of Punishment, and there will be another brand new name: the Square of Rebirth. All of our slaves in Astapor are born again today, and no one, whoever he is, can no longer enslave us or punish us. We were born as human beings, and from this day forward, we are equal to the good ones. ”
The Unsullied watched Daenerys in silence, and no one cheered.
However, the slaves who watched from outside the surrounding towers and pyramids erupted in amazing cheers, all of them wearing collars around their necks, and some of the slaves who had been punished by their masters still wearing handcuffs on their hands and chains on their feet, and they shouted at Daenerys to diffuse syllables, and they untied the slave collars around their necks and smashed the shackles on their hands and feet.
"Brothers and sisters of Astapor. Daenerys waved to the crowd around her, shouting, "I also know that in Astapor there is a place where the good lords entertain your lives - the arena. It was a place where the good lords held entertainment, but it was full of your blood, tears and lives, and in addition to the cannibalism of the gladiators, it included the duel between the girl and the bull, and the duel between the children and the bear, which was smeared with honey and other food. ”
"These watching lords would bet on which child the bear would eat first, and then the arena would be named after the owner of the victorious slave. This is something that the good lords consider glorious, but it is a joy built on the lives of our children, and I declare today that all the arenas of Astapor are completely closed today, and anyone who wants to operate again will be hanged by us. ”
The sound of the syllable "Diffuse, diffuse, diffuse!" began to spread around Pride Square, and soon spread throughout the city, and finally, the whole city reverberated with the syllable: Diffuse!
Daenerys softly asked what the Grey Bug around her meant to disperse, and the Grey Bug said that it was the native language of Astapor, which meant Mother.
Daenerys' eyes moistened.
And the good lords standing in the pyramids and pride squares are all colored, and Daenerys's every word makes them feel like pins and needles. The slaves of the whole city untied their collars around their necks, the slaves who committed crimes smashed their shackles, and they shot the flames of vengeance at the old good lords, and the flames of hatred were burning brightly, and it only took a little spark to sweep the whole city.
"Disperse!" one of the Unsullied warriors shouted.
"Diffuse!" a second voice rang out higher.
Then the third Unsullied, the fourth Unsullied, and finally, the Unsullied of the 20,000 legions shouted 'Disperse' together, they did not have to swear allegiance, Daenerys was already their mother in their hearts.
Daenerys' eyes turned red.
The good lords on the high platform were all frightened, and they all retreated, and they only wanted to flee immediately.
It's just that the whole city is gathering in this direction, and all the voices are converging into a simple syllable: diffuse!
