After the fall of the Guise Empire, the Guise people were forced to leave the capital, the old Guise, and built four new cities in the north and south: the Summer Sea in the south, the New Guise on the Golden Waterway, which was the core city of the Guise people; the three large cities on the east coast of Slaver's Bay: Meereen, which bought slaves, Kaiyuan, which trained slaves, and Astapor, which produced eunuch warriors.
Meereen and Astapor were built at the estuary of the Freshwater River, and were both important shipping routes.
Kaiyuan was located between Meereen and Astapor, and there was no convenient river transportation nearby, and Kaiyuan was only 250 kilometers away from Meereen. Geographically, there was no need to build another Kaiyuan city.
After all, the Guise population was very small, only a few hundred thousand, while Meereen and Astapor had thousands of miles of fertile land that no one could exploit!
In fact, Kaiyuan was blessed with a natural environment, and had a large plain that was very suitable for growing crops.
If placed in the Three Kingdoms of the Celestial Empire, Kaiyuan could be called the granary of the empire, the foundation of the empire.
It was a pity that such a good place was occupied by the fallen Ji Si people.
Or was it because the environment of Slaver's Bay was so good that they could eat their fill while lying down, that the Guise people were corrupted by the good life?
In any case, Danny valued the granary of Kaiyuan Plains very much.
She even decided that if the slave masters were obedient and left the entire plains to her, she would treat the masters of Kaiyuan City well. After all, Kaiyuan had turned into slaves, and there was a lot of women on them, but the smell of blood was far less than the masters of Astapor.
Regrettably, my heart was turned to the moon, but the moon did not shine on the ditch.
Three days after Blackie delivered the letter "The Mother Of Dragons to all the citizens of Yuankai", the scorching sun shone quietly on the earth, and Danny came to the Yuankai Plains.
She slowly pulled the little silver horse to a stop.
In the endless field of vision, it was all scorched black land with white smoke rising. The black and gray color even covered the bright sunlight, making people think that they had come to a world of only black and white.
"Neigh …" The little silver horse stepped on its hooves, moving with small steps uneasily, as if it was avoiding the hot ground under its feet, or as if it was frightened by the forest of corpses that covered the entire dirt road.
The wheat fields on both sides of the yellow road were burned, and there were wooden javelins that were three to four meters long stuck on the road. The long pointed ends of the javelins pierced through the abdomens of the slaves in ragged clothes, through their chests, abdomens, throats, and all the way to the upper jaw.
Old people, young people, children, men, women, white people, black people, brown people, amber people …
But no matter what skin or age, it was difficult to distinguish at this time. After the slaves were nailed to the road, Guise ignited the crops on both sides of the road.
Although the corpses could not be directly burned by the flames, it was like smoked meat. The black smoke and the high temperature ignited the tattered linen clothes and hair of the slaves, and then licked their skin …
The black skin exuded traces of water and oil. Vaguely, there was a salty smell of smoked meat in the air. Then, a gust of wind blew, bringing with it the stench of feces and urine.
Some of the corpses near the fields were burned by the flames. Their internal organs swelled, and their bellies exploded like sausages, revealing the large intestines inside …
Charred wheat fields, remnants of tree stumps emitting white smoke, grayish-black dust swept up by the wind, and a black forest of corpses that looked like bacon.
Wasn't this the scene of purgatory?
Fifty thousand soldiers clenched their fists. Silence was speechless.
"Damn it, damn it!" Barristan's face was livid. His white beard trembled with the twitching of his facial muscles.
"They will definitely die." The mask covered the expression on her face, but her voice revealed a cold murderous intent.
The forest of corpses was right in front of her. All the corpses were deliberately placed, facing south. Their mouths were wide open, and the hardwood points inside could be seen. The white, lifeless eyeballs protruded out of their sockets, as if they were looking at Danny opposite them.
The female corpse at the front had been specially processed. A plaque hung around her neck, and her hands were on both sides of the plaque. Her cheeks, from her lips to her ears, had been cut open by a sharp knife, revealing a hideous smile like a clown.
A line of words was written in white paint on the grayish-black wooden plaque: The slaves are all coming out to welcome you, Slave Queen!
"Thirty kilometers to Yuankai. It's still early, let's move on." Danny turned the horse's head, leaving the yellow road and entering the warm, charred wheat fields.
"Then these corpses …" Red-haired Lila asked carefully.
"Leave them to the militia at the back." Danny let the centaur cavalry send a message to the militia five kilometers away.
As the saying goes, distance tests a horse's strength.
As the army got closer and closer to Yuankai, the difference between the fine warhorses, workhorses, and mules became more and more obvious. The formation of Danny's army of fifty thousand also became longer and longer, stretching for dozens of miles.
A hundred miles away, there were even a few hundred peasants riding on water buffaloes and leading horses, slowly rushing towards the north.
Fortunately, the enemy and them were not evenly matched. Otherwise, with just a few guerrillas behind the enemy, Danny would be in big trouble.
The iron hooves trampled on the warm fields, bringing up sparks and dust. The gray powder left behind after the wheat grass was burned swirling in the air. It almost made people think that they had arrived in a world full of snow.
As they rode, everyone's mood became heavier. The dense forest of corpses on the road was not an exception.
Intermittently, they would come across manors that were only left in ruins, and then a forest of corpses would appear on the road not far away.
The crops were burned, the manor was burned, and half of a tree stump in the olive grove near the sea was still emitting black smoke … It was as if the entire world had been burned, and it made people feel disgusted and depressed.
Even the veteran general Barristan was affected. For the past two days, his face was gloomy and he spoke less.
The next morning, Yuankai appeared in the vision of the army. On the scorched land, there was an empty city. The ten-meter-high city wall was already filled with armored soldiers.
As the dragon flag appeared, people could be seen on the city wall.
Danny knew that the Gith people had also discovered her army.
"I'm in a bad mood. I want to kill a few animals to vent my anger." Danny turned back and said to Barristan.
"We have a plan …" The old man hesitated.
"Don't worry, I haven't lost my mind. Only when they feel pain will they cooperate with us. Later, we'll do this … "Danny quickly told the dozen generals a plan.
Two hours later, on a brick wall tower to the right of Astapor's city gate, a group of Gith generals were using binoculars to observe the army that was slowly walking past the city.
This tower was not tall, and was only one of the many watchtowers on the city wall. It was much shorter than the main tower above the city gate.
Such an inconspicuous tower naturally would not be the target of the Megalosaurus.
"Hahaha, the Great Sage's plan is indeed good. Look, the woman's soldiers are all dejected, and their armor is covered in dust. What a bunch of homeless dogs." Grazidan laughed happily as he looked through the binoculars.
In the lens, the soldiers were indeed disheveled, their hair messy, and many of their exposed skin was covered in black dust.
Yazan, who was slumped on a wide bamboo chair, looked up with difficulty and asked the enchanting servant by the window, "Sweetheart, have you seen the Dragon Queen?"
Yazan was also here today.
But the narrow window was too far away from Grazidan, and the others did not want to squeeze with him, so the one who was looking through the binoculars was his servant, Sweetheart.
Uh, "Sweetheart" was her name.
Sweetheart was slender, with a beautiful face and delicate skin. She had beautiful purple hair and a pair of charming purple eyes. She was wearing a gorgeous dress decorated with moonstones and mille lace.
She looked like a noble lady who had walked out of a castle.
"Master, the first rider is the Dragon Queen. She and her dragon have already gone south."
Sweetheart's voice was sweet, and the other masters who heard it felt their bones go numb.
Looking at Sweetheart's beautiful appearance, Grazidan's Adam's apple moved, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He turned around and patted the hilt of the sword at his waist. He asked tentatively, "Yazan, don't you like my Valleglia steel scimitar? How about exchanging it with Sweetheart? "
Sweetheart was not angry when she heard that. She even gave Grazidan a shy and flirtatious look.
"Grazidan, give up. Sweetheart is mine. Even the gods can't take her away from me!" Yazan said angrily.
"Valleglia steel weapons are hard to come by in a hundred years!" Grazidan did not give up.
"No matter how rare Valleglia steel scimitars are, can they be more unique than my baby Sweetheart?" Yazan was unmoved.
An old general with silver-gray hair and silver-gray armor glanced at Yazan and Grazidan contemptuously and mocked, "The Mother Of Dragons' 50,000 troops are already at our door, and you are still fighting over a monster who is neither male nor female. I have a huge doubt in my heart now. Was the decision to accept Yuan Kai's employment right? "
The strange thing was that the old general's cloak was tattered and sewn with different colors of cloth. It was as if he was wearing a tattered shirt.
Sweetheart's slender fingers tucked her curly purple hair behind her ear and giggled. "Although I am both male and female, I am not a monster!"
"Shut up. What right does a slut like you have to speak here?" The Virtuous Lord turned around and coldly glanced at the bisexual Sweetheart with a sharp gaze.
"Bam bam bam …" Yazan slapped the armrest of the bamboo chair and shouted in dissatisfaction, "Mourinho, you bastard who deserves to be captured by the Mother Of Dragons and fed to the dragons. How dare you yell at my Sweetheart? I can make you, the Virtuous Lord, step down immediately. Do you believe it? "
"Yazan, this is a special time. With your wealth and connections, I am afraid you cannot shake the Guise Alliance's trust in the Virtuous Lord." A great lord from Meereen said lightly.
"Trust him?" Yazan sneered. "You fools. Wait and see how the Mother Of Dragons avenges the 50,000 slaves!"
"Get this fat man out of here. He is disrupting the morale of the army." The silver-haired old general pointed at Yazan.
"You Trash King, you want me to get out? Do you know whose family your two thousand animals are eating? Which whore are you whoring from? "Yazan shouted loudly.
Sweetheart leaned on the poop man and giggled. "The Ragged Prince hired the Wind Blowing Group for 300,000 Radiance Coins, all provided by the great Master Yazan. In other words, Master Yazan is the employer of your Wind Blowing Group. "
The leader of the Wind Blowing Group, the Ragged Prince, stared at the poop man and his servant for a while with indifferent eyes. He then turned to the Virtuous Lord and said, "The enemy crossed nearly 600 kilometers in ten days. Their physical strength is almost at its limit, and they were frightened by your Forest of Corpses tactic.
In the face of this group of tired soldiers, you are so timid that you let them line up and walk slowly through the city gate? "
