Chapter 145
After the fall of the Ghis Empire, the Ghis people were forced to leave the royal capital, Old Ghis, and established four new city-states in the north-south direction: From the Summer Sea in the south, New Ghis on the Golden waterway, which is the core city of the Ghis people; The three big cities on the east bank of Slaver's Bay, Meereen which buys slaves, Yunkai which trains sex slaves, and Astapor which produces Unsullied.
Meereen and Astapor are both built at the estuary of the freshwater river, and both are located on the main sea route.
Yunkai is located between Meereen and Astapor, there is no convenient river nearby, and Yunkai is only 250 kilometers away from Meereen. From a geographical point of view, it seems that there is no need to build another Yunkai.
After all, the Ghis population is very small, only a few hundred thousand. Meereen and Astapor have thousands of miles of fertile soil and no one to develop it!
In fact, Yunkai's natural environment is basically paradise, and naturally, there is a great plain that is very suitable for growing crops.
It's a pity that such a good place was occupied by the fallen Ghis people.
Or, because the environment of Slaver's Bay is so good that you can slack off the Ghis people are corroded by the good life?
Anyway, Dany values the big granary of the Yunkai Plains very much.
She even decided in her heart that if the slave masters surrendered and left the whole plain to her, she would treat Yunkai's Wise Masters kindly. After all, Yunkai held the job of training sex slaves, it's a smaller crime than the Good Masters in Astapor.
Unfortunately, she would have to hold stupidly high hope to think such a thing as the Wise Masters surrender could occur.
In the afternoon three days after Big Black delivered the "Mother of Dragons Letter to All the Citizens of Yunkai", the scorching sun quietly shone on the earth, and Dany came to the Yunkai Plain.
She slowly pulled the silver horse under her body.
With a field of vision that can't see the end at a glance, it is full of scorched black earth with traces of white smoke. The color of black and gray even overshadows the bright sunlight, making people think that there is only black and white, a world of two colors.
"Neigh…" The little silver horse stepped on its hooves and moved uneasily in small steps, as if to avoid the hot ground under its feet, and seemed to be terrified by the corpse groves that covered the entire dirt road.
The wheat fields on both sides of the road were burned, and there were wooden spears three or four meters long on the road. The chest, abdomen, and throat, had been stuck through ending with the upper jaw.
Old, young, children, men, women, whites, blacks, browns…
No matter what skin, or what age, It's hard to tell at this point, after a slave was nailed to the road, the Ghis set fire to the crops on both sides of the road.
Although the corpses were not directly burned by the flame, it is like smoked meat. The black smoke and high-temperature flames ignite the poor tattered linen and hair on the slaves and then lick their bodies.
The black lacquered epidermis oozes silky moist and shiny oil, vaguely, there is a salty aroma of bacon in the air, but another gust of wind blows, bringing the stench of feces.
——The corpses near the ridge were burnt by the flames, their internal organs swelled, and their stomachs exploded like overdone sausage, revealing the tattered large intestine inside…
The charred wheat field, the residual tree stumps leaking white smoke, the gray-black dust rolled up by the wind, and the black corpse forest of smoked meat.
Isn't this the scene in purgatory?
Fifty thousand soldiers clenched their fists and remained silent.
"Damn, damn!" Barristan's face was ashen and twitched with hardly suppressed anger.
"They will definitely die." The face armor covered the expression on her face, but the murderous intention was revealed in her voice.
The corpse grove is up ahead of her, all the corpses are deliberately placed, their faces facing south, their mouths are wide open, you can see the hardwood tips inside, and the white, despairing eyeballs bulging out of their eye sockets, seeming to be looking at Dany.
The corpse of a woman in the front was specially fabricated. A plaque was hung around her neck. She held the wooden plaque with both hands on both sides. The cheeks from the lips to the ears were cut open by sharp knives, revealing a clown-like appearance. A Grim smile.
A line of words written in white paint on the gray-black wooden plaque reads: The slaves have come to welcome you, slave Queen!
"It's still 30 kilometers from Yunkai, and it's still early, so let's move on." Dany turned her horse's head and left the road into the warm scorched wheat fields.
"Then these corpses…" the red-haired Lyra asked cautiously.
"Leave it for the militia in the rear," Dany asked the Dothraki cavalry to send a message to the militia team five kilometers away.
as the saying goes well, only a distant road tests the strength of a horse.
As the army got closer and closer to Yunkai, the difference between thoroughbred war horses, pack horses and mules became more and more obvious.
Even a hundred miles away, there are hundreds of people riding water buffalo, leading horses, and rushing to the north.
Fortunately, the two sides were not evenly matched and anxious.
Iron hoofs trampled the warm fields, bringing fire sparks and large clumps of dust, and the gray powder left after the burning of wheat grass hovered and danced in the sky, almost making people think that they came to a snow-filled world.
Riding all the way, everyone's mood became more and more heavy, and the dense corpse forest on the road was not a special case.
Intermittently, they would encounter the manor in ruins, and then a corpse grove would appear on the road not far away.
The crops were burned, the manor was burned, and half of the stumps of the ten thousand acres of olive forest near the sea were smoking black smoke… It seems that the whole world has been burned, which makes people feel sad disgusting, and dull world-weariness.
Even the battle-hardened veteran Barristan was affected, his face was gloomy and he spoke a lot less in the past two days.
The morning of the second day, Yunkai appeared in the army's field of vision. A lonely city on a blackened land, and the 10-meter-high city wall was already full of soldiers with armor.
With the appearance of the Dragon flag, the silhouettes of the city can be seen moving.
Dany knows that the Ghis have also discovered her troops.
"I'm in a bad mood and want to kill a few beasts." Dany turned to Barristan.
"We planned…" The old man hesitated.
"Don't worry, I have not lost my mind, they will cooperate with us as cowards only if they know pain. Wait a minute, we'll be like this…" Dany said quickly, leading more than a dozen generals to come up with a plan.
Two hours later, in a brick tower on the right side of Yunkai's city gate, a group of Ghis generals were holding one-way glasses to observe the army slowly passing by outside the city.
This tower is not tall, just one of the many sentry towers on the city wall, much lower than the main tower above the city gate.
Such an unremarkable tower is naturally not to become a Dragon's attack target.
"Hahaha, Grand Wise Master's strategy is really good, you see, that woman's soldiers are all downcast, and their leather armor is covered with gray and black soot, like a group of stray dogs." Grazdan held the telescope happily. laugh.
In the sights, the soldiers are indeed disheveled, their hair is messy, and many people's bare skin is covered with black and gray ash.
The man Yezzan, who was slumped on the large bamboo chair, raised his head with difficulty and asked the enchanting squire in front of the window: "Sweets, did you see the Dragon Queen?"
Yezzan today also came.
But the narrow window is too high for the shit man, and other people don't want to squeeze with him, so he is having his sex slave Sweets watch with the binoculars.
Well, "Sweets" is the name.
Sweets is slender, with a beautiful face, delicate skin, beautiful purple hair, and charming purple eyes, and is wearing a gorgeous moonstone and Myr lace dress.
Like a noble lady walking out of the castle.
"Master, the first rider is the Dragon Queen. She and her Dragons have long gone south."
Sweets' voice is so delicate, one can hear the bones of several Wise Masters next to them going a little numb.
Seeing Sweets' beautiful appearance, Grazdan's Adam's apple surged and swallowed saliva, turned back, and patted the knife handle on his waist, probed: "Yezzan, don't you like my Valyrian steel knife very much? How about trading for it with Sweets?"
Sweets hearing this was not angry and threw a coy wink at Grazdan.
"Grazdan, give up your heart, Sweets is mine, and even the Gods can't take her away from me!" Yezzan said angrily.
"But Valyrian steel weapons only appear once in a century!" Grazdan said without giving up.
"No matter how rare the Valyrian steel knife is, can it match my treasured Sweets?" Yezzan remains unmoved.
A veteran with silver-gray hair and silver-gray armor next to him glanced at Yezzan and Grazdan angrily and yelled: "The fifty thousand large army of the Mother of Dragons has arrived at the door! Now a huge doubt arises in my mind, is the decision to accept Yunkai's employment correct!?"
Oddly, the veteran's cloak was tattered and sewn from different colors of fabric, as if wearing a ragged dress.
Sweets slender and smooth fingers pulled a curly purple hair that floated to the brows behind her ears, and said with a lovable smile: "Although our family is both male and female, we are definitely not monsters!"
"Shut up, how can a slut be here!?" The Grand Wise Master turned back and glanced coldly at the intersex Sweets with his sharp eyes.
"pēng pēng pēng…" Yezzan slapped the armrest of the bamboo chair, shouting in dissatisfaction, "Mureno, you bastard who deserved to be caught by the Mother of Dragons and fed to her Dragons, how dare you yell at my Sweets!? I can force you, a Grand Wise Master, to step down immediately, don't test me!"
"Yezzan, now is a special moment, even with your wealth and connections, I'm afraid you won't be able to shake the Ghis coalition against His Excellency Grand Wise Master's trust." said one of the Great Masters from Meereen indifferently.
"Trust him?" Yezzan sneered, "You idiots, just wait and see how the Mother of Dragons avenges those slaves!"
"Get this fatass out of here, He's a disturbance!" The silver-haired veteran pointed at Yezzan.
"You bastard, make me get out of here? Do you know whose food the 2,000 animals under your command are eating?!" Yezzan shouted loudly.
Sweets leaned beside the shitty man, covering his mouth and saying with a lovable smile: "Tattered Prince, hired Windblown's 300,000 Honor, all provided by the great master Yezzan. That is to say, master Yezzan you are the Windblown's employer."
The Windblown's leader Tattered Prince stared at the master and servant for a while with indifferent eyes, then turned back to the Grand Wise Master and said: "The enemy has crossed nearly 600 kilometers in ten days. Their physical strength is almost at the limit, and are demoralized by your corpse forest tactics.
Faced with this group of exhausted soldiers, why you are so timid, let them line up in a column, from the city gate and walk slowly?"
