Chapter 132
"How many escaped?" Dany asked, looking at Barristan.
"The six Great Masters and Wise Masters all ran away, including the Allied Commander Grazdan, and most of the Ghis soldiers in yellow silk capes fled. The traders and prostitutes also tried to run away, I told them you won't hurt innocents, so they were forced to stay."
Speaking of this, he frowned, and didn't know whether to laugh or not: "Actually, they can't escape even if they want to, the slave masters and Ghis soldiers have fast horses, the merchants have big bags of heavy Honors to carry, and the prostitutes have no horses and can't ride."
"The Slave Warriors just stayed?" Dany asked.
"Not only slave Warriors but also workers several times more than Slave Warriors. They are all slaves," Barristan said.
"That's better."
She then looked towards Grey Worm and asked, "How about the Unsullied and Free Guard casualties?"
"the Unsullied and The archers were lucky, there were no casualties. Free Guards had 8 deaths and 17 injured while cleaning the battlefield, and three others were beaten with ten whips by the Unsullied Law Enforcement Team for forcing prostitutes to have sex."
After hesitating for a moment, Dany sighed: "Grey Worm, arrange for the Unsullied to distribute 10 Gold Honors for each cavalry later, 40 Silver Honors for each archer and Unsullied, and two Silver Coins for each Free Guard, And then…"
Gritting her teeth, she said solemnly: "Tell that group of merchants to bring all the prostitutes, but not allow them to enter the White Poplar Slope camp."
"As you bid."
"Effendi, are all those war horses stopped?" Dany asked again, looking towards the old Dothraki.
Effendi belonged to the Dothraki and led a group of old horsemen and female horsemen to set up a barrier behind the White Poplar Slope to stop the horses.
"Khaleesi, a total of 20,000 war horses, 30,000 pack horses, 20,000 cattle, 35,000 sheep, and 900 pigs. They wanted to escape into the woods, I wouldn't know how many pigs would have become wild boars." Effendi said.
"Can the people pick up the meat of the dead animals in the camp and marinate it?" Dany looked towards Militia Captain and asked.
"Your Majesty, you have already made arrangements before. We almost cleaned up the corpses and killed and pickled them at the same time. It probably won't stink, just…"
In the end, the middle-aged black man from Summer Isles faltered.
"Captain Toraq, just what?" Dany asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty, some corpses have been trampled to pieces, and we can't tell whether it's human flesh or animal flesh." Toraq, the big black man, said embarrassedly.
"Human hair is soft and pig hair is hard, can't you tell the difference?" Red-haired Lyra spits out.
"Some parts, have very hard hair, plus the mud hardens all the hair," Toraq said in disbelief.
"cough cough…"
Dany waved her hands and said in a chorus: "Throw it away if you can't tell the difference."
"Aren't the bodies going to be burned?" Toraq asked.
"Yes, they will be burned." Dany nodded, and then asked: "How much cattle and horses does the northern revenue pay?"
"Eight thousand warhorses, fifteen thousand horses, plus countless cattle, pigs, and sheep, but many of them belong to the merchants, do we want to take them?"
"Well, our "legal code" stipulates that individuals obtain sacred property through legitimate means Inviolable, not even the Sovereign can claim it.
Never mind the prostitute's carriage, ox carts, and eating pigs and sheep, but for the merchants who supply the slave masters with food, we will confiscate half of their belongings.
Then use the confiscated gold and silver to buy the remaining half of their livestock." Dany said with a wave.
After thinking about it for a while, she added: "By the way, tell them not to drive up prices… Forget it, just follow the prices of Astapor at this time!"
Then Dany issued another order related to the capture of materials and disease prevention. After the officers went down to execute the order, she pondered: "Our losses in this battle are very small, we can continue to fight, the time is ours to attack the city of the slave masters."
"Your Majesty, are you going to take Yunkai?"
The newly joined Knight Jon immediately thought of what she said before: let the slave masters have no chance to hire any more sellswords.
"How many troops are needed to take down Yunkai at this time?" she asked.
Jon immediately replied: "The main industry of Yunkai is training and trading, and there is not much martial power. Now that the Ghis coalition has been wiped out by Your Majesty, Yunkai is almost a ghost town.
With the morale of Your Majesty's army and the help of your Dragons, it should be easy to take down Yunkai as long as 2,000 cavalries can get there quickly."
"The point is that controlling Yunkai will involve a lot of hands, not only will we not be able to take action against Meereen anymore, but the stalemate will continue, and the 600 km coastline from Astapor to Yunkai will be a huge burden for us." Barristan frowned.
"hmph, the next step is to develop a navy, I want to make Slaver's Bay my personal sea!" Dany said aloud.
"The navy is a high investment in many ways, and it's difficult to form in a short period of time unless your Majesty's Dragons can routinely patrol the Slaver's Bay estuary," Barristan said.
"If they grow for another year, you can try it." Dany hesitated.
"Anyway, it's better for us to take over Yunkai and Meereen earlier. At least we can kill all slave masters and empty the wealth of the two cities." Symon Stripeback said fiercely.
"Then do one night of repairs today and set off with Yunkai tomorrow?" Dany asked Barristan with her eyes.
She can put forward strategic goals, and it is up to experienced veterans to really command the battle.
"I'll make arrangements," Barristan said slowly.
"You haven't slept all night, go get some rest first," Dany said softly.
"What about Your Majesty?"
"I'm young, staying up late doesn't matter."
"Okay!" The old man looked weary.
He couldn't help thinking of himself 40 years ago when Stepstones played against Maelys the Monstrous, it was common to stay up late to discuss tactics with his comrades.
After the meeting, Dany, surrounded by Belwas and Bloodrider,s and others, went to the field to attend the funeral of the soldiers.
Slaver's Bay is so hot that the corpses can't stay there for long.
More than 200 pyres, neat and tidy lined up, in front of each pyre stood an armored cavalry, cavalry Warrior holding a blue-ground black-winged flag in his hand.
This is the Wings of Freedom flag of the Mother of Dragons Guard: in the blue sky, like Queen Dany's Black Dragon, flies freely with its black wings.
As for why not Little Green and Little White…Alas, they are relatively small, far less powerful than Big Black, and far less intelligent than the Black Dragon.
Big Black looks like a truly strong Dragon.
Under the crowd of more than 10,000 soldiers who were idle, Dany rode a big tan horse from every pyre and saw the faces of every Warrior.
The soldier's grooming was washed and stitched, the iron armor was removed, and the leather armor was covered with a large shit with the Black Dragon image on the chest.
Well, don't doubt, the Slaver's Bay people wore blouses before Dany arrived, and Dany just tweaked it a bit more modern.
After walking around, she shouted to the pyres, "Say goodbye to all the soldiers."
Those knights holding the Wings of Freedom flag stepped forward and planted the flagpoles At the arm of the pyres, and they held the flagpole with their right hand.
"Even if you die, you are still free Warriors, soldiers under my command, and heroes who bring freedom and a better future to countless slaves!" Dany looked around at everyone and loudly said.
The noon sun scatters light and heat recklessly on the fields, and all the soldiers watched the Queen with solemn expressions as she ignited the pyres with torches.
Dany didn't stand there waiting for the flames to go out. It was difficult for the temperature to drop before evening. The ceremony had already been completed, and the rest of the work was done by the Free Guards.
They will put the ashes of the fallen soldiers in urns, and when they return to Astapor, those urns with their names and numbers will be handed over to their relatives along with a pension.
If there are no relatives, they are sent to the ground floor of Dany's Great Pyramid where supplies are stored.
Next comes the most familiar part of Dany: liberating the slaves!
She has done it many times and knows how to boost morale by shouting slogans, how to make slaves feel awe and feel grateful.
With the sound of "I want to be free, long live Mother of Dragons", slave collars and slave chains were opened and thrown on the ground, slaves disappeared, and new peasants now walked the lands.
More than 70,000 new commoners extended their hands to Queen Dany, shouting "Misha, Misha" with frenzied expressions, Dany galloped and dexterously walked through the arm jungle.
She stretched out her arms and leaned slightly on the horse's back, her hands swiping across the sea of countless white, brown, black, and amber-skinned arms, bringing up pieces of the stormy sea.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, three colorful Dragons hovered and danced above her head, and the Dragon's chittering echoed with the tsunami-like "Mhysa".
Well, in fact, Dany has been in Dreki state, Black Dragon is staring at her in a 10-meter radius, and everyone's movements can be seen clearly if there is an assassin.
If there is an assassin disguised as a slave to assassinate her, Dany is not afraid, there is almost no weak spot in her thick armor.
If something unpredictable happened, Big Black would also fall from the sky in a second or two, pick her up with his claws and take her away.
Dany brought the excitement of the new commoners to the climax when she chanted: "I need Warriors to fight for me, to fight for freedom, to fight against the slave masters."
Countless people raised their arms and shouted: "Kill for the Mother of Dragons!"
Watching countless warriors with combat experience lined up to sign up at the recruiting point, Dany proudly said to Jon Bolton: "Do you now know where my soldiers are?
As long as there is a slave master, there must be a slave, and no slave does not desire freedom, and I am a symbol of freedom! "
"Your Majesty, you are the Goddess of Freedom from Slaver's Bay!" Knight exclaimed.
"Well, this can have…" Dany tilted her head to think for a while, and said, "As Slaver's Bay Most Devout, I have to make slight adjustments to the teachings of Slaver's Bay's Seven.
The innocence and purity of 'Maiden'…is well-meaning, it's just a bit narrow.
I've decided that 'Maiden' in Slaver's Bay The Seven stands for purity And freedom.
The Smith has a hammer, the Warrior has a sword, the Father has a scale, the Maiden should hold the torch to light up the future of freedom for those who step into Slaver's Bay!"
"Okay, okay!" The red-haired Lyra said with a smile: "The meaning of the 'Maiden' was indeed a little small before. It is especially in line with the current social environment of Slaver's Bay."
"Well, you can carve a 'Maiden' statue in the image of Your Majesty, and Your Majesty is a 'Maiden'." Bearded Brus compliments.
"Hahaha…" Dany waved her hand and said happily: "It's too early to say, our current goal is to win Yunkai."
"Woooo——" A few people were talking, and suddenly there was a loud cry like a pig not far away.
Dany looked sideways and saw the periphery of the Long March troops. her iron-armored guards were pushing a fat man with gorgeous clothes to stagger, and he was lying in the muk.
The fat man struggled to get up and cried, "I want to see the Dragon Queen, I'm not a slave master, I want to see the Dragon Queen!"
