Chapter 123 The Strategy of the Slave
Owner Bearded Melo seemed to have a branding iron under his buttocks, twisting his body constantly. "Dragon Queen, listen to me, the mercenary group is not decided by me alone. After all, we have signed a sacred contract with Kaiyuan that cannot be violated. Can you let me discuss it with my brothers and give you an answer tomorrow morning?"
"Answer what?"
"Uh, about surrender!"
This guy softened after a few words.
"Okay, you discuss it with them." Dany gave the order to leave with some disdain.
The Son of Titan did not stand up, but held the back of the chair tightly with both hands, and said with a twisted expression: "That. Bounty"
"It depends on your answer tomorrow morning. Anyway, the attack will start in the afternoon." Dany said lightly.
"Okay." Mero stood up with his tall body, and finally said: "Dragon Queen, you gave the Rose Corps hundreds of barrels of fine wine. Do we have any gifts from the Second Sons to represent friendship?"
"Okay, I'll give you 10 barrels."
"Too little, I have a lot of brothers below me! Titan bastards won't drink alone." The big man resumed his playful attitude.
"30 barrels, the Rose Corps has, cough cough cough." Dany seemed to have let the cat out of the bag, and she coughed violently a few times, her head slightly tilted to one side, and added unnaturally: "The Rose Corps is different from you, they are all descendants of Westeros nobles"
"Your Majesty!" Barristan called out with a sullen face, interrupting her words.
At the end, he stared at Mero with murderous eyes, and after a while, the murderous intent disappeared, and his blue eyes were full of helplessness and sighs.
Oh, the old man is not simple, such on-the-spot reaction, such tacit understanding of cooperation, such acting skills.
Dany praised Barristan in her heart, coughed a few times, and said: "Captain Mero, the Rose Group is too shameless. They have asked for most of my wine. We will entertain other beauties later. Sorry, only 30 barrels."
A gleam of light flashed in Mero's eyes. He didn't force it. With a smile on his face, he said: "Khaleesi, we will toast you three times and give you an answer when the sun rises."
While waiting for the next leader of the mercenary group, Whitebeard wondered: "Your Majesty, it seems that Mero really wants to surrender. The crazy words before are more like a Probing, testing your tolerance for him.
The more you can tolerate, the more urgently you need his mercenary group, and the more urgent you are, the higher his asking price will be. When the price is high enough for him to break the contract, he may lead the Second Sons to our side. On the contrary, the Rose Group has the most gentle attitude towards you, and in the end they are obviously convinced by your wisdom and magnanimity, but the reputation of the Rose Group is far from that of the Second Sons.
It can be said that in the continent of Essos, the Golden Group is undoubtedly the most trustworthy, and even if the Rose Group is not second, it should be among the top three.
Before the defeat, the Rose Group will definitely fight us to the end. "
Daniel glanced at him and smiled, "Weren't you cooperating with me just now?"
"To alienate the trust of the Anti-Dragon Mother Alliance in the Rose Group?" The old man smiled bitterly, "Just like a common sense I often warn you, you can't give full trust to mercenaries.
The Gis people also have similar wisdom. Whether the alienation plan is successful or not will not affect the slave owners' vigilance against the mercenary group. "
"Haha, you will see." Dany smiled lightly.
Then Dany met with seven or eight leaders of small mercenary groups.
There are numerous mercenary groups on the continent of Essos. Except for two or three or four "famous brands" with a history of a hundred years, there are not many members in the unknown small mercenary groups.
The strongest one has a mixture of infantry and cavalry of four or five hundred people, barely forming a legion array. The smallest one has only more than 50 infantrymen, who can only serve as bodyguards for merchants and caravans, which is even more pitiful than Dany in the Red Wasteland.
Although the Second Sons and the Storm Crows only have 500 people, they are all cavalry, and everyone has armor, and their mounts are also covered with iron armor. A cavalryman is equipped with three horses and served by a servant. They are the kind of "real cavalry".
Dany treats all the leaders of the mercenary groups equally, and does not let them come to see her in groups just because they have few soldiers and weak strength.
As long as there is the title of the leader of the mercenary group, they will be summoned individually, and they will also be invited to "join in the cause of justice".
If someone asks for fine wine, Dany will also send out 5 or 10 barrels.
Those small mercenary groups were weak and not as confident as the leaders of the Stormcrows and the Second Sons, who spoke rudely to Dany. They were busy until the early morning, when the last wave of guests arrived.
There were a lot of wise and great lords coming, so Dany had to leave the wooden palace and stand at the gate of the camp to welcome the guests.
A hundred followers surrounded ten great slave owners. The Ghis guards rode tall and strong black horses, and the Wise Lords of Kaiyuan and the Great Lords of Meereen sat on tall two-humped white camels.
Like the Ghis warriors of Astapor, they had tall black-red hair, yellow cloth skirts, leather armor, inner shirts, and silk cloaks, with neatly arranged polished copper plates sewn on the cloaks.
However, these warriors had one more piece of equipment, a bronze helmet, a long cylindrical helmet nearly one meter high, almost as long as two heads.
Although it was the first time she encountered such a strange helmet, Dany immediately accepted their style. After all, with the hairstyle of the Ghis people, only such a helmet would not crush the strange and tall hair underneath.
In order to let the guests walk into the wooden palace with their heads held high, Dany had to ask the Unsullied to quickly remove the wooden stakes and slash the canvas attached to them with a knife.
Fortunately, the roof of the palace was built very high because of the bonfire.
There were 80 servants of Ghis left outside the wooden palace. There were too many people to stand.
After the ten fat slave owners were served by two servants and introduced to each other, Dany asked politely: "Do you want to take off your helmet temporarily? It will be easier."
But her kindness was exchanged for the other party's ruthless ridicule: "The son of the harpy is not as delicate as a little girl like you."
"Haha, do you know how heavy my armor is? At least I don't need anyone to support me." Dany sneered.
Although her armor is not as exaggerated as Barristan's 65 pounds, it is also a full body armor from head to toe, weighing 40 pounds.
In the past six months, she has been training crazily through the rapid recovery effect of the dragon spirit state, so that she can run normally in such heavy armor today.
Run instead of walk.
"Woman, don't try to be so good at talking," said the middle-aged man sitting in the middle.
He is also a Grazdan, but he is from the famous Erraz family in Kaiyuan, and he is not the same person as the one in the family crematorium.
Well, the "Yunkai God of War" in the intelligence is him.
Not to mention, this Grazdan is lean and strong, with sharp eyes, and he really looks like a fighter, uh, the premise is to ignore his unicorn hairstyle that protrudes 20 centimeters from his forehead.
With this style, it is almost impossible to make too intense movements unless you use the "horns" on your head to push the enemy.
Grazdan seemed to be awakened from sleep, and his temper was very bad: "Now should be the time for the great sage to rest, but he wants to negotiate with you, an arrogant and ignorant woman.
It's good that you are willing to sit down and discuss with us, which means that you at least have some reason and know that you have no chance of winning on the battlefield.
Immediately, immediately, take your eunuchs and leave Astapor and Slaver's Bay. This is the greatest mercy we can give you."
"Sorry, I won't leave." Dany clasped her ten fingers in the lobster-shaped iron gloves, and her cold eyes swept across the ten people opposite, and said slowly and firmly: "I want to conquer Slaver's Bay, conquer Kaiyuan, conquer Meereen, I want no slaves in Slaver's Bay, I want no Ghis people to dare to buy and sell slaves, and I want this land to become a paradise of freedom!"
"Hahaha"
"Hehehe"
"Hehehehe"
Ten slave owners and twenty Ghis guards laughed so hard that tears came out of their eyes.
"This little bitch said she wants to conquer us?" Grazdan grinned and said to the people on both sides.
"It's dark, she's dreaming!"
Grazdan nodded, looked at Dany with contempt and said, "We are the sons of the harpy, descended from the ancient Ghis Empire. When your Valyrian ancestors were still chicken-pointed sheep, we had already ruled the world."
"If it's useful to boast about my ancestors, I'm now the commander of 300 dragon kings riding dragons." Dany said lightly.
"Humph, now you have 100,000 troops in front of you, and behind the 100,000 troops is an unbreakable city, with proud and brave nobles and fearless people in the city. Outside the Slaver's Bay, countless trading city-states stand on our side, thousands of warships, and hundreds of thousands of troops.
We may lose tomorrow, we may lose the day after tomorrow, we may fail countless times in the future, but this world needs us, countless people will support us, and we will never really die.
And you"
Grazdan pointed his right index finger at Dany and said coldly, "You will win one or two games. But your Unsullied will decrease again and again. After you have failed for the first time, you will never have the chance to win again."
"I can even see your ending. The best future is that you will be defeated and captured in the battle tomorrow afternoon. In that case, we will be interested in taking you as a slave and taking you to Kaiyuan to teach you the seven spring cry techniques.
Hehe, I think in the brothels of Lys and Tyrosh, people will be generous to sleep with the last Targaryen."
Dany twisted her neck and said thoughtfully: "I always thought that your slave owners' heads were full of shit, completely losing their wisdom and thinking ability.
I didn't expect that you also knew that there is a high probability of defeat in the battle tomorrow, and you are ready to use the "millstone tactics" to grind my Unsullied soldiers bit by bit."
She has always been puzzled. People all over the world know that 20,000 Dothraki roaring warriors were defeated by 3,000 Unsullied.
Why did the slave owner use 30,000 slave soldiers + 3,000 yellow silk cloaks + 5,000 mercenaries to force anal 10,000 Unsullied?
It turned out that the other party never thought of destroying her at once.
Dany couldn't help but think of the wealth she had looted in Astapor.
Endless!
Even if we only count gold and silver, there are 15 million gold dragons, enough for Robert to squander for 30 years!
Uh, yes, that's all the gold.
It looks exaggerated, but think about it. Astapor has never been occupied by anyone. The slave trade has been going on peacefully for 5,000 years. On average, only 3,000 gold dragons are saved a year?
Well, this wealth was mainly accumulated in the last 400 years. When Valyria still existed, the gold and silver were taken away by the greedy dragon king.
Kaiyun is several times richer than Astapor, and Meereen is richer than Kaiyun. Well, the wealth of Valyria is unimaginable. No wonder people know that there is no return from the Smoke Sea, but they still go there one after another.
Okay, I'm getting off topic. With such a huge wealth, how many mercenaries can the slave owners of Ghis hire?
According to the idea of the Anti-Dragon Mother Alliance, they can also grind Dany trapped in Astapor to death.
