With the first person taking the lead, the rest of the centaurs seemed to know what to do.
Danny asked once, and they immediately shouted "I want freedom!".
This formed a habit, and the centaurs at the back waited for Danny to ride past them, and without her asking, they would scramble to be the first to shout "I want freedom!", and then the Blood Alliance Guard and their Niu Lu would come forward to untie their slave collars.
Dani started to wonder if those guys knew what she was yelling at them.
But it didn't matter, the atmosphere was very lively, and it felt like a revolution was underway. Her slave liberation movement was off to a good start.
After about two hours, Danny circled around the Unsullied army, and with the help of 20 centaurs, more than 900 slaves regained their status as free people.
She could clearly feel that the Unsullied, who had been polished into emotionless rocks, now had a ripple in their hearts.
Their expressions had changed!
Dani nodded in satisfaction. With a wave of her hand, she signaled for the centaur warriors to lead the new centaurs away. She then shouted to the Unsullied, "I have restored the freedom of the centaur slaves. At this moment, I declare that all 13600 of you Unsullied are now free citizens."
Even if the Unsullied had already guessed it, when they heard her words, they couldn't help but be at a loss. As Missandei had said, they only knew how to obey, and were completely at a loss.
Danny of course knew that a single sentence wouldn't be able to free them from their servitude, and today's big show wasn't to help the Unsullied unlock the shackles in their hearts, but to set a glorious and great goal.
In other words, soldiers only needed to obey their superiors, but the army needed souls and thoughts.
For example, whether it was home or abroad, military discipline was emphasized, but different armies had different souls. America's was freedom above all else, and the Great Celestial Empire was to serve the people.
"You are already free people," Danny rode her little silver horse through the ranks of the Unsullied, "You can freely choose to leave, you can return to your hometowns, and find your loved ones."
— — This was bullshit, the Unsullied started training at the age of five, how many of them still remembered their parents and hometowns?
Except for Missandei, where a few brothers were coincidentally sold to Astapor and became slaves under the same benevolent master.
"Is there anyone who wants to leave? You're free. "
Danny came to the front of the formation, stood on the saddle, and raised the Harpy's Finger, letting everyone see the proof of ownership of the Immaculate Legion.
"Did you see that? These are the shackles on your body, the slave collar around your neck. "
Just like that, she stood on the horse and went back and forth in the ranks ten times. All the eunuch soldiers saw her movements.
In the end, Danny shouted with a hoarse voice, "Freedom can only be fought for by yourself. Now, as long as you shout 'freedom', I will help you remove the slave collar on your neck."
The whole place was silent except for the faint sound of waves coming from not far away.
Danny walked forward for a while and repeated her words.
The Unsullied were like granite sculptures, seemingly unable to respond.
Danny stood on the saddle, raised the Harpy's Finger, and passed through the ranks of the Unsullied. She repeated it for the third time.
Then, the fourth time, the fifth time …
"Your Highness is wasting your energy. The Unsullied will never shout that word. They are destined to live under the whips of the slave masters for the rest of their lives. "Chora sighed.
Whitebeard smiled bitterly and murmured, "The children who resisted were killed by the slave masters long ago. The rest have completely lost their free will. Now I wonder if they can even think."
"Yes." Missandei's big golden eyes stared at the touch of silver in the gray, and her flat round face was full of determination. "My brothers still recognize me. I will secretly cry for their pain, and they will smile happily when they see me."
When Danny endured the burning pain in her throat for the 58th time and shouted that sentence with a changed tone, an Unsullied on the left side of the little silver horse whispered, "I want freedom."
Danny stamped her right foot, and the little silver horse obediently stopped. She looked at the Unsullied and said in a hoarse voice, "Your voice is not as loud as a woman's. I can't hear you."
"From … from!" As if it was the first time he had learned the word, he said it with difficulty, but his voice was loud and clear.
"I heard it, but I couldn't hear it clearly." Danny was still holding the Harpy's Finger high. Sweat slid down her cheeks, and her Dothraki vest was soaked.
"Freedom, I want freedom," the Unsullied shouted.
"You are free." Danny nodded and urged the little silver horse to continue forward, repeating that sentence for the 59th time.
Then, scattered cries of "freedom, I want freedom" rang out in the ranks.
Danny smiled happily and shouted, "You are free."
Then, she moved forward for a distance and repeated the previous sentence for the 60th time.
This time, the Unsullied did not give her the chance to repeat it for the 61st time. Cries of "freedom" rang out around her like a tsunami. Danny seemed to have come to a sea of sound, and she floated and sank in the water.
"Freedom, freedom, freedom …"
"Freedom, I want freedom!" Missandei's face was full of tears. Like a small splash, she could not help but merge into the sea.
"Crazy, they are all crazy. Let's go and protect Kalixi." Chora's face suddenly changed and anxiously shouted to the Blood Brotherhood.
"No need." Whitebeard stopped him and the centaur. Looking at the petite figure in the boiling crowd, he said with a complicated expression, "Her Highness is the safest right now. Even the gods can't hurt her."
The terrifying sea of sound lasted for nearly ten minutes. Danny's empty left hand kept pressing down. When the Unsullied calmed down again, she shouted, "All of you, 13600 Unsullied, you are all free."
Danny urged the little silver horse to quickly come to the front of the ranks and shouted, "Dracarys! (Valleglia, Dragon Flame. It's more stylish) "
As she spoke, she threw the whip high up in the air.
"Boom — boom boom boom —"
Big Black arrived just in time. Scorching Dragon Flame spewed out, and bits of golden liquid sprinkled on the grass. The Unsullied at the front of the ranks saw that the gorgeous Harpy's Finger was only left with a twisted and charred Dragon Bone.
At this time, they strictly obeyed Danny's orders and did not shout "freedom" again, but their eyes seemed to be even more scorching than the Dragon Flame.
"You are free. You can leave now, you can stay. You can leave at any time in the future. You can stay."
Danny waited for them to completely digest her promise before continuing, "You are warriors, and I don't shy away from admitting that I need the power of warriors.
Now, warriors who stay, please elect a leader who can represent your will. "
The Unsullied who had shouted "freedom" seemed to open their long-closed hearts and immediately began to whisper to each other.
It was faster than Danny expected. In only three minutes, a dark-skinned Unsullied stepped out of the ranks and walked in front of the little silver horse.
He put down the shield and spear in his hands, took off his helmet and put it under the armpit of his right arm. He knelt down on one knee and respectfully said, "Mother Of Dragons, I am the commander of the Unsullied army."
Danny was surprised and relieved to find that he was the first person to respond to her "I want freedom".
She dismounted and walked in front of him. She helped him up and asked, "I know you. You are the first Unsullied to be free. Tell me, what is your name? "
"Your Majesty, this lowly one is called 'Gray Worm'," he said.
Very good, Missandei has appeared, and with Gray Worm, everyone is finally here.
"Freedmen can freely choose their own names. You can return to your original name. Do you still remember?" she said.
"I remember." Gray Worm nodded and said, "This lowly one's name was cursed when I was born, so I was forced to become a slave. Gray Worm is the name this lowly one drew when 'Storm Born' Danny Lilith was liberated. It is very lucky, so I have decided to continue using it. "
"Yes, you can choose any name for yourselves, but there is no need to call me 'lowly one'. You are no longer a slave."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
She asked again, "Why did everyone choose you as their leader?"
"Not everyone. About sixty percent of them chose me. I have the greatest advantage." After a pause, he continued, "In the Unsullied Training Camp, my performance was the best. Swordsmanship, endurance, courage … especially the art of battle formations. I have the experience of leading the Unsullied to set up formations."
"So that's how it is," Danny nodded and said to him, "Call the other warriors who were recommended but were not chosen."
Gray Worm turned around and said a few words to the Unsullied in the first row, roughly conveying Danny's words. In just a few minutes, more than thirty Unsullied walked out one after another.
The Unsullied army had a strictness that surpassed Danny's imagination. She began to believe that the Gujis army could really fight Valleglia head-on.
The current Unsullied could be considered a monkey version of the Gujis army.
It was said that the two empires had been fighting for several decades, and there had been a total of five large-scale battles. The first and second battles had been initiated by the Gujis. They wanted to conquer Valleglia and seize their dragons.
The Unsullied's training method was simulated in the Gujis army.
When they met Danny, those who were not chosen all took off their helmets like Gray Worm.
Danny had those people stand in the front row of the Unsullied, while Gray Worm stood alone in the front row.
Then, she stood in front of Gray Worm and said to all the Unsullied, "I said that I need warriors. You are now free people. You can choose to go home or stay and fight for me."
"I am willing to fight for the Mother Of Dragons until the last moment of my life," Gray Worm said with a resolute expression.
"I am willing to fight for the Mother Of Dragons." All the Unsullied who heard Danny's words, whether it was the commanders or the ordinary warriors in the back, did not hesitate at all.
Danny pressed down with both hands, calming them down, and said solemnly, "You don't even know what I want. How can you fight for me? If I tell you to plunder cities and sell the free people of other cities to slave traders, will you be willing to fight for me? "
After a moment of hesitation, Gray Worm said seriously, "I am willing."
Although the others' reactions were not as enthusiastic as before, they still firmly promised, "We are willing to do anything for the Mother Of Dragons."
"I am grateful for your loyalty to me." Danny nodded and raised her right hand with a smile. "I swear, I swear to all the gods in the world, I swear on the honor of all the ancestors of House Targaryen, that I, Danny Liz Targaryen, born of the Storm, will only use the power of the Unsullied for righteous causes.
Righteous causes, things that benefit the majority of humans, do not include helping Targaryen fight for the Iron Throne. "
