Chapter 118 The Anti-Dragon Mother Alliance is here
"Puff puff."
If dragons can sweat, Big Black must be sweating profusely at this moment, his wings folded into a huge arc in mid-air, because only by using all his strength can he ensure that he does not sink.
Dany tightly held his slender neck with both arms, and his legs swung on the ups and downs of the dragon's back. The fear of having nowhere to lean on could only make her use her hands to tighten Big Black's neck even more.
"Hiss--"
Big Black's nose blew two long white air, as if roaring at Dany: I can't breathe!
"Hey, you are bigger than the little silver horse, and you weigh more than her, why can't you fly like her and carry me easily?" Dany glanced at the ground below. The pyramid was only as big as a bowl. They must be more than 1,000 meters in the air.
Well, Dany can ride a dragon. It's not really riding, she must lie on the dragon's back and distribute the weight of her body evenly. If the weight is concentrated on the back of the neck, he will not be able to bear it.
And only black dragons can lie down. Little White and Little Green did not refuse her to ride. The key is that they are not as big as Big Black, so there is no place for her to lie down.
Half a year later, Big Black's effect of devouring the spirit of faith of the immortals became more and more obvious. From head to tail, it is 10 meters long. Excluding the long neck and tail, his back is more than two meters long, which can allow Dany to lie on it.
The white dragon and the green dragon are only two-thirds the size of Big Black, and the size difference is obvious.
In fact, two months ago, Dany knew that she could ride a dragon through the weight of three dragons.
In the past six months, the three Ghis city-states of Meereen, Cayen, and New Ghis have formed the "Anti-Dragon Mother Alliance", which Dany calls the Ghis Alliance.
The Ghis people not only promote Dany as the mother of evil dragons who "eats 10 babies every morning and sleeps with 10 strong men at night", but also often send clippers to the docks and coastal strongholds to launch incendiary bombs - pottery jars filled with kerosene, or cotton cloth soaked in asphalt wrapped into flammable objects.
At first, Dany asked Black to attack the enemy's sails at night, but later the enemy learned to be smart and secretly arranged hundreds of sailors to hide under the deck with strong crossbows. As long as Black blew fire and opened the small window on the deck, the crossbow arrows would rain down like rain.
At that time, Black was shot into a hornet's nest, which was not an exaggeration. Afterwards, Dany counted and found that Black was hit by at least 70 arrows.
He fell from mid-air, and Dany, who was in the dragon spirit state, was scared.
Fortunately, the distance to the coastline was close after all. Black barely glided and landed in the friendly camp. The two thin flesh wings became two pieces of rags, and the scales on the lower abdomen were also pierced, and white smoke gushed out of the blood.
The only thing was that the iron arrowhead of the arrow was relatively short, only four centimeters, and the dragon blood had a very high temperature. The wooden shaft behind the iron arrowhead was directly burned by the dragon blood, and the iron arrowhead was also slowly softening.
The iron arrowhead was too short to penetrate the abdominal muscle layer of the Black, so it did not hurt his internal organs. It looked terrible, but it was only a superficial injury.
Fortunately, this was the Slaver's Bay instead of Westeros. The people of the Seven Kingdoms had seen dragons too many times and had developed a relatively complete set of dragon-slaying skills, while the New Ghis had never fought against dragons - the ancient Ghis Empire had slayed dragons.
If the crossbow that shot at the Black was a specially customized "Dragon Shooting Crossbow", he would have a 30% chance of being unscathed, a 50% chance of being seriously injured, and a 20% chance of dying on the spot - the Dragon Shooting Crossbow was a giant crossbow, large in size, and difficult to operate. It was impossible for everyone to have one.
A ship was limited in the number of arrows installed, and the number of arrows was small. It was too dark, so it might not hit, but if it hit, the minimum degree of injury would be serious.
After that injury, Dany changed her strategy. If she couldn't dive attack, she would bomb from high altitude!
Barristan told Dany that the arrows of the Dragon Shooting Crossbow were made of fine steel, heavier than the spears of the Unsullied, and the limit was to be able to fly 200 meters into the sky.
In this way, Dahei only needs to stay at an altitude of 500 meters to drop incendiary bombs on the sea without any damage.
Dahei learned the "bomber" skill first, and the white dragon and the green dragon could never learn it. During training, they would just dive down and spit fire from their mouths while flying.
Since the incident with the Dragon's Horn, the white dragon and the green dragon have been much more docile to Dany. They usually listen to what she says, and when she whips them, the two dragons rarely talk back (spit fire at her).
But without entering the dragon spirit state, it is difficult for Dany to make them understand her ideas.
Later, Jorah suggested that during training, they should shoot them with bows and arrows with the arrowheads cut off, so as to train their ability to dodge arrows and let the two dragons understand what to do.
It must be said that this idea sounds good at first, but after trying it, it was found to be terrible. At that time, one of the Unsullied was burned.
As for Dany's mother, the dragon children can be tolerated, but if others dare to hurt them, they will be furious and spit dragon fire at them.
If Dany hadn't stood aside and stopped the dragon in time, the warrior would have been glorious. Well, it's not glorious, it's a bit aggrieved.
Later, Dany placed the crossbows side by side, with a silk thread tied to the trigger, and she could shoot dozens of arrows with a pull, and she trained the dragons herself.
Not to mention, the two dragons became smarter and gradually learned the skills of high-altitude throwing.
The dragons have very good eyesight, so their hit rate is very high. The three dragons bombarded in turn, and at least several dozen kilograms of cloth bags soaked in fuel were dropped at a time. As long as they hit, they could basically destroy a ship.
Well, they dropped the fuel bags first, then swooped down quickly, chased after them and ignited the bags with dragon fire.
By comparing the weight of the bags grabbed by the three dragons with Dany's own weight, she determined when she could ride the dragon.
Without armor, Dany weighed 90 kilograms, and Big Black could grab a large bag of 200 kilograms and fly at high altitudes, so she dared to try riding a dragon.
Well, Little White and Little Green could only lift 130 kilograms of cargo.
"Hiss—" After flying around the farmland outside the city for about 150 kilometers, Big Black felt a sense of powerlessness as if he had run out of fuel, so Dany had to let him take her back to the pyramid.
"Puff puff—bang!"
Big Black landed heavily on the grass, and the branches and leaves of the nearby fruit trees were rustling as his wings flapped.
Dany jumped lightly and jumped directly from the dragon's back, which was more than two meters high.
In the past six months, she has been practicing swordsmanship with Barristan, and her strength and agility have increased a lot. The old man also praised her for her talent that was not inferior to Rhaegar.
Dany was not flattered at all. Rhaegar's fame and strength were too far apart.
According to legend, his martial arts were only matched by Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Buddha, but he was crushed by Robert in his first actual battle.
The big iron hammer hit his little chest and he died miserably.
"Your Majesty, there is urgent information from Kaiyuan." As soon as she jumped off the dragon's back, Jorah came to greet her with a serious face.
At this time, Jorah's outfit changed again. The originally smoky black Valyrian steel armor was inlaid with a layer of exquisite white glaze on the chest, and a heavy pure white cloak was hung on his shoulders. The white silver thread and hooks sparkled in the sun, and his whole temperament seemed to be sublimated.
If any Westeros noble came here, they would exclaim "Kingsguard" when they saw him.
After Barristan revealed his identity, Dany appointed him as the captain of the Kingsguard. Jorah had no objection to this, because he was too old and his reputation was too legendary.
Later, Dany held a simple but grand oath-taking ceremony for the old man, and he swore in front of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians on the third step of the pyramid.
Afterwards, a notice was issued to inform everyone.
After Barristan became the captain, he followed tradition and put a white robe on Jorah Mormont.
In this way, the big bear became an official white knight that can be recorded in the White Book.
In addition to the white robe, there is also white scale armor. Jorah certainly didn't want to change the armor, so he asked the blacksmith in the city to inlay a layer of white glaze with ice snow patterns on his chest.
"Strong" Belwas wanted the identity of the Kingsguard, but refused to wear white scale armor and white robes, and was even more unwilling to wear a complicated white cloak. He thought that would affect the speed of swinging the sword.
The fat eunuch also took the dexterous and swift way of the horseman.
After Barristan joined Dany's inner circle, he took the position of military commander.
It's not that he didn't trust Jorah, but his experience and military skills were far inferior to Whitebeard's.
Jorah had commanded a thousand troops at most, but Barristan had commanded a large army and had experience in group army operations.
35 years ago, during the Battle of the Nine Copper Kings, he was the commander of the entire army, with more than 100,000 troops under his command, including the army and navy, cavalry regiments, infantry, and longbow regiments.
Jorah was the deputy commander and part-time intelligence chief.
Well, after all, he had worked as a spy and was familiar with the business.
The intelligence network of the Octopus Spider extended to Horselord City, Lhaza, and Qarth. Dany couldn't possibly attach less importance to intelligence warfare than an "ancient man".
At the beginning, a group of merchants were stranded in Astapor for more than a month because their sails were burned by dragons. When they left with Dany's compensation, a group of newly trained spies were also sent out.
They don't expect them to become 007 or Ethan Hunt. They just need to collect the news that passers-by in Kaiyuan and Meereen.
It must be admitted that the ravens in this world are also a kind of fantasy creature.
Kaiyuan is 500 kilometers away from Astapor in a straight line. The ravens can make a round trip in about two days and one night.
Dany took the wet towel handed over by Irri and wiped the sweat and dust on her face and arms. Jorah said in a deep voice: "Kayuan has gathered 30,000 slaves, 3,000 yellow silk cloaks, 5,000 mercenaries, and countless merchants who follow the army. They set out this morning and headed for Astapor.
Ten wise lords and great lords claim to be the Grand Marshal of the Allied Forces. One of them is called 'Grazdan Mo Erraz'. The wise lord is known as the God of War of Yunkai and is the actual commander of the army."
The Gith guards of the Slaver's Bay city-state are accustomed to wearing yellow silk cloaks, which are inlaid with dense palm-sized reflective copper pieces, so they are often called "yellow silk cloaks" or "copper piece guards."
"Haha, another Grazdan. And he brought 30,000 slave soldiers. Are they sending people to me?" Dany laughed while wiping her hair.
Jorah looked strange and said, "Your Majesty, you may have some misunderstandings. Your reputation in Kaiyuan is not good. Your deeds of liberating slaves, distributing land to slaves, and building a free nation are not known to people.
In the eyes of other slaves, you are just a crazy woman who broke her promise and occupied Astapor by chance."
"Those people are too much. You offended the slave owner for those slaves." The centaur maid said angrily.
"Under the control of public opinion, what can the common people do?" Dany shook her head.
She didn't look angry, but a little disappointed.
She asked, "The proportion of slave soldiers is too high, and the rest are mostly mercenaries, with few real Gis.
Is this the consciousness of the descendants of the ancient Ghiscari Empire?
Until now, some of my systems have been kept secret from the lower-level slaves, but how can the upper-level slave owners not know? Don't they have any smart people who don't know the impact of my appearance on slavery?"
Jorah smiled bitterly.
"If they didn't see you as a threat, they wouldn't send troops to attack Astapor. But Meereen and Kaiyuan are slave city-states after all. In addition to the slave soldiers, the free guards of the two cities will not exceed 5,000 people."
