Fortunately, Danny had been encouraging the three dragons to go out and hunt by themselves, which not only reduced her burden, but also trained the dragons' mobility.
Half a year later, there were fewer and fewer large beasts in the mountains near the city of Astapor. The three dragons had to go deep into the mountains in the south, and sometimes even flew to the red wilderness in the east.
Half a year ago, Blackie's speed reached 150 kilometers per hour, and now the average speed was more than 200 kilometers per hour. Danny also often used Blackie's eyes to observe this fantasy world, and on the eve of the war, she often looked for the fleet of the Gith people on the sea.
If she was not careful, she would see a long row of moving black "beans" on the red alkali soil from an altitude of 8,000 meters.
They were like ants on a chessboard.
Then, Sir Butcher led 500 soldiers and 2,000 civilians and left Astapor to set up an ambush in the valley hundreds of kilometers away.
After careful searching, Danny found a dangerous valley with steep slopes on both sides, ready to let the "country bumpkins" of this world see the brilliant art of war in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Unfortunately, she was disappointed. The Iron Army did not foolishly line up in a long line and directly pass through the valley entrance. Instead, they divided the regiment into five large groups, each of which had 500 people, and marched in batches.
Fortunately, Sir Butcher was not stupid. He knew that as long as one large group of the enemy passed through the valley entrance, his 2,500 people would not be able to defeat them.
So he did not cut them in half. After the first large group entered the valley entrance, they launched their attack.
Well, it turned out that the "Art of War of the Three Kingdoms" was quite useful.
Both ends of the valley were blocked. Kerosene, firewood, rolling stones, black logs, bows and arrows were all thrown down. In the end, soldiers were sent down to finish the job. Without losing a single soldier, the 500 men of the Iron Army were completely wiped out.
The rear army, blocked by boulders outside the valley, almost went crazy when they heard their compatriots' miserable cries. Then they impulsively charged into the dangerous valley.
Sir Shackle was also a cunning and ruthless character. In order to provoke the other side, he even cut off the heads of the 500 Iron Army soldiers who died tragically and threw them out of the valley entrance.
Needless to say, the regiment commander, who had originally advised the soldiers not to be impulsive, also felt a burst of anger from the steel door straight to the top of the sky.
Over the next four to five days, another two hundred soldiers died in battle, and more than a thousand were crippled. On the other hand, Sir Butcher only lost a dozen soldiers and a hundred civilians.
Faced with such a tragic result, and receiving the letter of Dani sweeping through the Allied Army, the captain of the Iron Army finally calmed down. Dejected, he retreated to the south coast with his remaining troops.
Well, after defeating the Iron Army Regiment, Sir Butcher left a few hundred militia to build a permanent base at the entrance of the valley. He immediately brought his subordinates and rushed to Yuan Kai.
Because he was worried that the Queen would seal his fief in this broken place where not even birds would shit.
Uh, Danny had indeed sent a letter to test Sir Shackle and asked him if he was willing to become 'Old Count Guis' and help the Queen guard the borders.
To be honest, Danny really did not treat him unfairly. Although the old city of Guise was destroyed by the people of Valleglia, and the land was still covered with salt and alkali, sulfur, and bones, after 6,000 years, the land could still be used for farming.
The old city of Guise was the capital of the Guise Empire!
"Virtuous Lord, let me tell you the truth. Because more than half of the third regiment was killed and almost crippled, and your army of fifty thousand was wiped out by the Mother Of Dragons, the council is very cautious about sending the Iron Army Regiment again. Also …"
"Also what?" The Virtuous Lord's expression turned ugly.
After hesitating for a moment, the fleet commander moved closer to the Virtuous Lord's ear and whispered, "The new city of Guise is preparing a second hand, dragons and magic! That's right, we plan to send a fleet to follow the Red Devil through the Smoke Sea. "
"That Andal pirate king, You Lun Greyjoy?" The Virtuous Lord was shocked. "He really went to the ruins of Valleglia?"
"At first, we were also suspicious. After all, since ancient times, many heroes have died in the Smoke Sea. But the dragon egg, horn, and armor have all been verified in the past few days, especially the Dragon's Horn that cost us thirty warships … "
At this point, the fleet commander's face was filled with fear, and his voice became even lower. "We have personally experienced it. It is too scary. It is definitely the real Horn of Valleglia's Dragon King. Only the top nobles of Valleglia have a magical weapon, the Dragon Binder!"
The anger on the Virtuous Lord's face disappeared, and he asked in surprise, "If the Dragon's Horn is real, why not use it to control the three Megalosaurus?"
"Sigh, that Andal tried it once before. The green dragon and the white dragon could be controlled, but the black dragon … For some reason, the black dragon could resist the binding power of the horn. Last time, because of the black dragon's sudden rebellion, his plan to capture the Megalosaurus failed.
On the day the allied army attacked Astapor, he did have the chance to blow the horn, but when the white dragon and green dragon were still struggling, the black dragon threw an incendiary bomb at him … So you understand? "The fleet commander said helplessly.
"Then, did you bring the horn this time? It can be used in the battle to defend the city. Our great pyramid is not afraid of incendiary bombs at all. "The Virtuous Lord was surprised.
"No." The fleet commander shook his head regretfully.
"Why?"
"The Andal pirates will only teach us the horn and the secret method to control it after completing the exploration and obtaining a huge harvest. He still has to lead us to explore, so we can't fall out with him now. "The fleet commander gave the Virtuous Lord a look that said," You understand? "
Of course, the Virtuous Lord understood. Burning the bridge after crossing the river!
Now that the river had not been crossed, of course, the bridge could not be torn down.
"Sigh, without the iron army to hold the line, we can only use the ultimate move. This time, Yuan Kai is really going to suffer a great loss!" The Virtuous Lord looked back at Yuan Kai who was bathed in the golden red morning light, and said with a cold look in his eyes.
"Hiss — boom, boom, boom, boom!"
Suddenly, a terrifying shriek came from the sky. Then, a blood-red pillar of fire that was as thick as a washbasin and 20 meters long fell from the sky. It was like a real red razor that crushed the sails, masts, decks, and the sailors on the surface of the sea from 3 kilometers away …
Broken pieces of wood and charred corpses splashed in the fire, and the warships in a straight line burned and exploded in the dragon flames. Countless sailors and soldiers cried and shouted as they struggled and ran in the flames …
Under the clear blue sky, more than a dozen thick black smoke pillars with a burnt smell rose from the sparkling sea surface, like the scorched fingers of the Grim Reaper, stretched out from the sea and straight into the sky.
The people of Guise who were cheering for the huge reinforcements on the city walls and pyramids were stunned on the spot, and the words in their memory were spinning in their throats.
"Hehehe …" The people of Guise's throat was dry, and they moaned with difficulty, "Demon — Dragon —"
"The Demon Dragon is attacking! Quick, quick, archers, Dragon Shooting Crossbow! "The muscles on the general's face twisted, and he roared at his soldiers.
"Hiss —" Dahei suddenly pulled up the arc after approaching the dock, and jumped 500 meters into the blue sky, quickly leaving a terrifying black shadow on the faces of the Great Virtuous Master, the soldiers of Guise, the people of Guise on the pyramids, and even the slaves on the street.
Then, Dahei loosened one of its claws, and untied a corner of the quilt-sized bundle that it was carrying.
"Hualala …"
Under the warm sun, the pieces of paper reflected the sparkling white light, dazzling the eyes of hundreds of thousands of people in the city, and also confused their hearts.
But soon, a person of Guise picked up a piece of snow-white parchment the size of a notebook page, and saw the title: "Mother Of Dragons to all the citizens of Yuan Kai."
"I, Danny Liz I, Mother Of Dragons, liberator of slaves, inform all the slave owners, large and small, that within seven days, 200,000 troops will come to the city and liberate Yuan Kai.
My intention is to remove the inhumane slavery, not to target the people of Guise.
If you are willing to open the city and surrender, I will still retain your right to rule Yuan Kai; if you are unwilling to fail and intend to violate the Heavenly Dao and resist stubbornly, I am also willing to have a great and legendary battle with the Guise army.
However, I have benevolence, the etiquette of a knight, and the wrath of a king.
Anyone who dares to burn crops will be killed without mercy; anyone who dares to harm slaves will be killed without mercy; anyone who dares to poison wells will be killed without mercy.
When the king is angry, blood will flow. When the Dragon King is angry, fire will burn the city. Don't say that I didn't warn you! "
Dahei circled around Yuan Kai, and wherever it went, there was panic. It also brought a continuous sound of bowstrings, and countless arrows with a metallic luster rose and fell under its body.
"Hiss —" Dahei said goodbye and flew leisurely to the south, leaving only the screams of fear in the city.
"Dragon —" The muscles in the corner of the Virtuous Lord's eyes twitched, and his teeth creaked.
Watching the black dragon gradually disappear from sight, the Virtuous Lord turned his head and said word by word in a firm tone, "We got a total of three dragon eggs last time, and Yuan Kai wants one!"
"This …" The fleet captain hesitated and said, "It was an unexpected surprise to get two extra eggs, but one of the bronze dragon eggs went to the Andals, and one of the white dragon eggs was taken by the regretful guest. There is only one golden dragon egg left, but we, New Guise, also need dragons!"
"More than half a year ago, the Royal Family of Kars accidentally got two dragon eggs from the Asian merchants, and now they want one more. Aren't they afraid of dying?" The Virtuous Lord said unhappily.
"We also don't know who the regretful guest was hired by. Maybe it was the royal family, maybe it was the thirteen giants, maybe it was the Tourmaline Brotherhood, maybe … maybe the regretful guest didn't even give the dragon egg to the employer. The ancient assassin organization definitely wants to raise a dragon. Who doesn't want a dragon?
It is said that after the news of the woman successfully hatching a dragon from the stone egg spread to Asia, the price of the fossil dragon egg suddenly increased by a hundred times, a thousand times … Actually, some of the nobles in the free cities and Westeros are also secretly collecting dragon eggs. Everyone wants a dragon!
And even if the royal family has two dragon eggs, three dragons isn't a lot. Didn't that woman have three dragons? "The fleet captain shrugged.
"Then, did the Royal Family of Kars hatch a dragon?" The Virtuous Lord asked nervously.
"They also just learned how to hatch a dragon from us. I heard that they sacrificed seven or eight descendants of the nobles, but there was no effect.
According to the explanation of the old priest who presided over the ceremony, maybe the blood of the sacrifices wasn't pure enough to please the Light King Lahlo, and maybe the results won't come out so quickly.
It's also his first time hatching a dragon. Although he is confident, he doesn't have the experience. "The fleet captain shook his head.
The Virtuous Lord looked down at the people who were panicking and shouting "Mother Of Dragons is here!" and "Mother Of Dragons is going to burn down the city!" His expression became more and more unpleasant.
Finally, he turned around and glared at the fleet captain. "Since the New Guise warships have already gone to the ruins of Valleglia, they will definitely be able to bring back a few dragon eggs like the Andals. Now, Yuan Kai needs that golden dragon egg! "
"Virtuous Lord, why don't we wait for the fleet to come back? Anyway, it won't be able to hatch a dragon in a short time?" The fleet captain refused.
"No, you see —"
The Virtuous Lord pointed at the boiling city below and said coldly, "A black dragon is enough to throw our army into chaos. If we can't restore the morale of the people and the army, when the evil Mother Of Dragons comes to the city with three dragons, Yuan Kai will immediately become the second Astapor.
I need the dragon eggs to calm the people. I need to bring hope to the fearful sons of the harpies. Dragons!
We all know that dragons are not invincible. If that woman's dragon dares to breathe fire and burn down the city, I will be very happy. But the people are ignorant. In their minds, only dragons can fight against dragons.
So, I want the dragon eggs. I want to gather the people and tell them that Yuan Kai is hatching a dragon, and Yuan Kai will soon have his own Megalosaurus. "
"But the price of hatching a dragon is a bit high …" The fleet captain hesitated. He was very aware of the overall situation and understood how much damage Yuan Kai's fall would cause to the Guise Alliance.
"Hahaha, young man, you are still too young." The Virtuous Lord patted the shoulder of the middle-aged officer in front of him, winked slyly, and asked with a smile, "What was our previous plan?"
"Stall for time, let the Mother Of Dragons use up the food …"
Speaking of this, the doubt on the fleet captain's face faded, and he praised, "The Virtuous Lord is wise. You only need to restore the morale of the army, even if it is only ten days … No, five days is enough.
When the people see the Mother Of Dragons outside the city that she can only gnaw on horse bones, everyone in the city will become fearless warriors.
Well, on behalf of the new Guise, I agree to give the golden dragon eggs to the Virtuous Lord! "
"Hahaha …" The Virtuous Lord raised his head and laughed, but he thought in his heart: Young man, you are still too young. The meat in your stomach really belongs to you. Who knows what is in the ruins of Valleglia. Maybe there is only one dragon egg left?
As for the price of hatching a dragon …
Hehehe, even that little girl has the courage to sacrifice her only brother, husband, and son. Am I not as magnanimous as her?!
Moreover, I have many wives and many sons. I have much more capital than her!
