It was because Dani was playing for real, not just for show, and was very good at it that the others hated her so much.
The hatred stemmed from the deep fear.
Braavos had held the banner of "freeing the slaves" for hundreds of years, but the rest of the slave-trading city-states did not react at all.
When Braavos used the excuse of "abolishing slavery" to attack Pentos, Myr, Volantis, Terosi, and other city-states were watching the fun without any intention of intervening.
But Danny did not shout "I want to abolish slavery" to the world at all. She only secretly engaged in large-scale production in a corner of the world. As a result, the Guise Alliance attacked, and Quills and Volantis were also sharpening their swords, ready to declare war on her.
Even Braavos, which had always opposed slavery, had a faceless person come to assassinate her …
In just half a year, Danny, who kept a low profile, had become the enemy of the world. Even if she had three dragons, the mercenaries with a little foresight were not optimistic about her.
Therefore, Danzo sincerely respected her, and the Ragged Prince also wanted to borrow the power of the dragons, but they did not want to rely on her.
Well, they did not want to be martyrs.
"Since Pentos has no national defense force, the Wind Blowing Group's two thousand elite infantry should be enough, right?" Danny wondered.
"Your Majesty, you have been to Pentos, so you should know how high and thick the city walls are." Danzo smiled bitterly. "Because of the limited military power, Pentos people crazily increased the walls."
"And Braavos' attitude is uncertain. The Mother Of Dragons' reputation is enough to make them not dare to directly intervene."
Danny frowned. The Wind Blowing Group was too smart. Two thousand infantry was indeed a powerful force, but it would only be used once in Yuankai, and they would not rely on her forever.
After seizing Pentos, the Ragged Prince obviously did not intend to pledge allegiance to her.
It was easy to send the Megalosaurus to help attack the city, but could she bear the pressure from Braavos?
Not to mention that Braavos had the world's largest navy, the most powerful shipbuilding ability, the most powerful industrial productivity, and the most powerful assassin group — the faceless people …
Just the Iron Treasury alone was enough to take away half of her life.
The Iron Treasury was the creditor of the entire world.
Even if all the gold coins in the world's banks were added together, it would not be as much as the Iron Vault.
Could it be that the Ragged Prince already thinks of me as a dead person?
A dead person naturally wouldn't be afraid no matter how much blame was placed on him. At most, he would just die!
The more Danny thought about it, the more upset she felt, but she couldn't refuse too harshly.
A mercenary group of two thousand elite infantrymen was enough to rank among the top five in the Ursos continent. Danny estimated that she would have to sacrifice the same number of soldiers if she were to fight them head-on.
"I won't lie. If it was another time and place, I would have rejected your Windblown Guild without hesitation. However, with the current situation, the Windblown Guild's attitude is enough to change the outcome of this battle. As such, the Ragged Prince's conditions aren't too harsh. "Danny said after some consideration.
Danzuo nodded inwardly. That's right!
It was because they saw that the Mother Of Dragons was in a dilemma that they put forward such harsh conditions.
He and the Ragged Prince both knew how big and heavy the black pot in Braavos was. Yes, it was the kind of pot that could crush the Mother Of Dragons to death again.
Uh, "again" …
The Mother Of Dragons had plenty of pots to worry about.
She had even taken the initiative to take on the world pot of "abolishing slavery." Braavos wouldn't make a difference.
"Thump, thump, thump …"
Danny tapped on the armrest of the chair lightly and asked softly, "Do you know Illyrio Mopatis?"
Danzuo's eyes flashed as he nodded and said, "A trading governor in Pentos. He mainly deals in spices, gems, and dragon bones. I heard that your three dragon eggs were purchased by him from the Shadow Lands."
"That's right. Illyrio gave me three dragon eggs. He also protected me and Viserys from assassins many times. I lived a princess-like life in his house for half a year.
Later, when I wandered to Qualls, he sent three ships to pick me up and bring me back to my country. My naval commander, Sir Grollet, and half of his sailors are also his people. "
Danny looked at him and said, "If it were another city, I might have agreed to the Ragged Prince's conditions, but I would never invade a friend's city, or even …"
"If Illyrio asked, I wouldn't hesitate to take Pentos and give it to him. I wouldn't ask for a single copper coin in return."
Finally, she said firmly, "Targaryen, a debt must be repaid!"
The red-haired Lila, the beautiful Mareth, and the warrior poet Danzuo's faces were all twisted in that moment.
If that Duke Tywin of Ragin 'Kela was here, they wondered if he would go crazy. Everyone complained in their hearts.
Alright, the Lannister family's motto was "Hear me roar." Danny didn't break the rules.
"I'm afraid that Governor Illyrio won't be able to become Prince of Pentos. He was born poor and doesn't have the bloodline of the Forty Great Nobles." Danzuo said hesitantly.
"Hehe, the Ragged Prince definitely doesn't want to be a puppet anymore. When he comes to power, what will happen to the Governor of Trade who holds real power? I can't push my benefactor into a fire pit, right? "Danny smiled and threw the blame on the head of her" benefactor "Illyrio.
"How about this, I don't need you to spread rumors. Anyway, I just need to dawdle in Yuankai. If I can take down Yuankai and you gain Illyrio's recognition … Yes, when I receive Illyrio's letter, I'll mobilize the Megalosaurus to help you take down Pentos. "
"This …"
At least this was better than a direct rejection.
"I can't make the decision. I have to go back and discuss it with the Ragged Prince." Danzuo said hesitantly.
"Alright, we can continue the discussion tomorrow night at this time. You can tell the Wise Master that my price is too high and that he won't budge. I can only go back and ask the Commander. "Danny nodded.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Danzuo bowed respectfully and found Zidane outside the tent. They returned to Yuankai that very night.
Mareth returned to the prisoner camp obediently.
Under the moonlight and starlight, the two knights listened to the sound of horse hooves as they walked back silently.
Suddenly, the Braavosi looked around and asked softly, "Did you succeed?"
"No."
"Why?"
"The Dragon Queen insisted on four times the normal ransom." Danzuo also lowered his voice.
"Anyway, the Wise Master is the one paying, and the current situation is very special. She's not asking for too much." Zidane was puzzled.
"Hehe, I did it on purpose. I'll go back and ask the Commander tonight. We'll continue the discussion tomorrow," Danzuo said mysteriously.
Zidane suddenly came to his senses and patted the old poet's shoulder. He laughed softly and said, "You're old and sly! You've delayed for another day for Yuankai. The Wise Master should reward you. "
"It's not considered delaying. After all, you saw it too. The Mother Of Dragons needs time to build siege weapons." Danzuo shook his head.
After he went back and reported this matter, the Wise Master really rewarded Danzuo 500 gold radiance coins.
After the Wise Masters and mercenary commanders heard the news that Zidane found out, they were so happy that they had a midnight party in the Great Pyramid.
When they returned to the Wind Blowing Team's Commander's room in the early morning, Danzuo told him the whole story.
"So the relationship between Illyrio and that woman is so deep …" The Prince in Ragged Clothes stroked the white beard on his chin and thought for a moment. "Do you know how long the enemy army's food can last?"
Danzuo said, "It's more than we expected. The Unsullied gave us half a pound of wild boar meat for dinner. I've observed carefully. Almost every soldier was given a piece of meat. "
"Hmph, the nearby forest is only so big. How long can they last by hunting?"
"Then, Commander, what do you mean?" Danzuo was puzzled.
The Prince in Ragged Clothes smiled coldly and said, "Tomorrow, tell that woman that I agree to her 'Plan B'. I will not do anything for the next few days. The Wind Blowing Team will try not to be stained with the blood of the slave army.
But when she can't hold on and has the idea of returning to my 'Plan A', you can use the excuse of talking about the ransom of the Gith captives and put a yellow silk cloak back as a signal.
At that time, I will automatically reach a new agreement with her: Illyrio will take his wealth and scram, and she will help me take down Pentos. "
Danzuo looked at the gray-haired old commander in admiration and gave him a thumbs up. "Brilliant, really brilliant!"
"Hehehe …"
.....
"Hehehe …" Danny looked at the blood contract in her hand and laughed coldly.
The next day, Danzuo and Zidane left Yuan Kai early as usual and had dinner at Danny's camp.
Although the two had different goals, they were both pleasantly surprised. Today's steak was a quarter thinner than yesterday, and the oatmeal was not as thick as last night. The Dragon Queen also came back later.
During the negotiations that night, Danzuo found that the Dragon Queen was even more tired than last night. It seemed like she was worried about something.
Was there no food?
The negotiations went smoothly. Even though the Queen repeatedly emphasized that she, Danny Rize, would not do anything to betray her friends even if she was defeated, wiped out, or killed.
But in the end, he still wrote his name on the contract without hesitation.
At noon on the third day, in the "Giant Gela" Arena in Yuan Kai City.
With the arrival of the Mother Of Dragons, Yuan Kai also entered a state of emergency where the entire city was on alert. Entertainment activities such as gladiators and courtesans' parades were naturally suspended.
The Giant Gela Arena that belonged to His Excellency the Virtuous Lord was no exception. The stands on all sides and the arena were empty. Only the stone hall where the gladiators trained their martial arts could be heard.
"No, uncle, don't kill me. I don't want to die. Uncle, Virtuous Lord, Uncle Mourinho, no …"
An eighteen or nineteen year old youth was crying and struggling, wailing and crying.
The Giant Gela Arena was also built by excavating the ground, so the training ground next to the arena was ten meters away from the ground.
At the top of the spacious training ground covered with stone slabs, there were skylights the size of washbasins. The lighting was very good. The golden sunlight penetrated through the skylights to the ground. There were visible black dust in the yellow light pillars — the charcoal ash of the burning firewood.
The circular training ground was about five hundred square meters. In the center, there was a two-meter-high white jade platform with a width of one's arms. At the top of the stone platform, there was a golden stone egg.
The surface of the stone egg was covered with fine scales, like the skin of a young dragon.
This was a golden dragon egg!
With the stone pillar as the center, there was a pattern of burning flames painted on the ground nearby with red paint.
The Holy Mark of the Light King, Lahlo, was similar to the Heptagram of the Seven Gods Church.
Each Holy Mark of the Flame was the size of a baby's palm. Countless Holy Marks formed a huge reverse spiral vortex around the stone pillar.
Two iron chains were dragged out from the top and bottom of the stone pillar. The wailing youth's hands and feet were shackled by the iron chains.
The youth's long black hair was wet and draped over his shoulders. His toka robe and silk pants were also dripping with a light green liquid.
Well, there was a strong olive fragrance.
The youth was also surrounded by firewood …
