"As for the Westeros …" Jorah's expression was gloomy as he said helplessly, "I don't know if you should give up that dangerous iron throne, but I know very well that the longer you stay in one place, the easier it is for the enemy to find you. The Targaryen name is a name that makes traitors fear, especially after they know that you have a dragon. "
"Ser, thank you for being so considerate." Danny thanked him sincerely, then looked him in the eye and asked, "The Westeros are just a dream to me, but what does it mean to you? I am no longer the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. Can I still have the Queen's Iron Guard that I can trust? "
Danny had never thought of fighting for the Iron Throne. All the ambition she had shown for the Westeros was to confuse people.
To confuse Zaro, the people of Quils, Qui 'xi, and even Jorah Mormont was an important target.
The Westeros were nothing to Danny, but to the Great Bear, they were his home that he could not part with.
Jorah Mormont himself could not deny that his loyalty to Danny was partly because she had great hopes of restoring the Targaryen dynasty.
If Danny became the Queen, as the Queen's Iron Guard, he could wash away all the stains on his body and return home with great glory.
"Danny Rize, you can trust the loyalty of an admirer." He called her by her name.
"That's the problem." Danny sighed. "If I can never return your love, and I can't let you return home with glory, what is the point of your loyalty?"
"Your Highness, why are you so cruel?" Jorah smiled bitterly.
Keeping you as a spare tire is the real cruelty, Danny thought.
"You are a reliable brother, a trustworthy friend. I don't want to lie to you, so please don't lie to me," she said.
Jorah's face was red at first, and he was very emotional. When he heard the last sentence, his face suddenly turned pale and he blurted out, "I didn't lie to you, and I won't lie to you."
You're lying to me right now.
Today was such a good opportunity to confess. As long as you took advantage of the situation and revealed your identity as a spy from King's Landing, I would have forgiven you and ended your torturous life in the Infernal Bureau. But why couldn't you seize the opportunity?
Danny could entrust her safety to the Queen's Iron Guard, but she would never completely trust her … at least not for now.
"Sir, take Aggo to the Blacksmith Guild tomorrow and order a batch of … leather armor." Danny originally wanted to say "iron armor", but when she thought of Ma Min's situation, she immediately changed it to leather armor.
Firstly, the traditional view had not changed. The Ma Min warriors rejected metal armor and thought that hiding in metal was a cowardly act.
Secondly, light cavalry warriors didn't have the combat experience and awareness of heavy cavalry. Simply put, Ma Min hadn't added any points to the "heavy cavalry" skill yet.
Thirdly, Danny remembered the bronze armor of the camel cavalry. The fact that the city guards did not have any iron armor made her doubt the Quillesians' iron armor technology.
She told Da Xiong the three reasons above. "With your knighthood, choose a light leather armor that can block arrows. Hmm, you can add a breastplate to your chest and back. "
"This …" Chora hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, you haven't participated in a battle, so I'm afraid you don't understand. None of the leather armor can meet your requirements."
Danny was immediately displeased when he called her a war newbie. It was true that she hadn't been on the battlefield, but she had read a lot of anti-Japanese dramas and historical novels. Who didn't know that iron pots could block bullets and leather and cotton armor could block arrows?
"My requirements are very low," Danny said with a straight face. "I just want it to be able to block arrows."
"A large number of archers?" Da Xiong shook his head, his face bitter. "Iron arrowheads can pierce through iron armor, let alone leather armor."
"That should be very rare, right?"
Li Guang could shoot through boulders, but how many men could do that?
"Sigh, let's put it this way. Other than the double-string dragon bone bow, the Midsummer Islands' golden wood bow is the most famous. An elite red archer uses a golden wood bow and can shoot through thin leather armor 400 meters away (PS). But I understand your requirements. You want the horse people to charge in the rain of arrows. That distance really can't block arrows. "
(PS: This is the setting of the original work. The Midsummer Islands' swan ships are often equipped with a group of red archers to defend against pirates. Golden wood is the best material for making bows and arrows. The daughter of Kuhulu, the captain of Laurel Wind (the Dragon Visitor who got Dahei's painting), is a red archer who can shoot enemies 360 meters away.)
Danny asked with a straight face, "Are you sure it's 400 meters? Not just one person, but a group of people can do it? "
Chora nodded and said, "If you don't believe me, you can go to the dock area and take a look. There are many merchant ships from the Midsummer Islands docked there. Every ship has at least one elite archer.
By the way, Kuhulu of Laurel Wind is from the Midsummer Islands. Unfortunately, he should have left the port for many days.
The sea is full of pirates. Even if you can win the boarding battle, the destroyed goods are not few, so a strong archer is necessary. "
"Sigh, I see …" Danny sighed dejectedly and waved her hand. "It's better to get a set of leather armor. Put an iron plate on the chest. It's better to have a layer of protection than nothing."
Early the next morning, Chora and Ago went to the Blacksmith Guild.
It was an alliance formed by weapon merchants and a large number of blacksmiths. They had swords, spears, swords, halberds, kitchen knives, hoes, and sickles. They also had leather armor, saddles, and horseshoes.
Little Kalasa only had a little more than 100 soldiers who could fight. For the Blacksmith Guild, it was just a small business. They could complete Danny's order in a few days.
During this period, there was a small episode. Chora and Ago quarreled over the helmet.
The Westeros knight understood Danny's intention to protect her warriors, so he chose an extra "full body" iron helmet.
Yes, it was a helmet with a face guard, throat guard, and a skirt guard.
Wearing that kind of helmet, the thick braid at the back of the head would be a huge burden, and the centaurs didn't like it.
The two quarreled in the blacksmith shop and finally reached Danny. She thought about it and asked the blacksmith to open a hole at the back of the helmet to let the braid out.
"It's too ugly, and an extra hole is another hidden danger." Chora muttered.
"Sigh, that leather armor is full of flaws, this one won't make a difference." Danny sighed.
In addition to the leather armor, Danny also ordered a large number of crossbows. Single-handed crossbows with hand strings and heavy two-handed crossbows with foot strings.
Almost every centaur had a bow and arrow, but crossbows were rare. Other than Drogo who had a black-wood single-handed crossbow inlaid with gold, none of the other centaurs had one.
Danny equipped every warrior with two crossbows and hung them on both sides of the saddle. The women, children, and the elderly also had one each, increasing the team's attack power by more than double.
In addition to the weapons, Danny also ordered a batch of camels.
Her actions immediately attracted Zaro's attention. Buying weapons could be said to strengthen the guards, but buying camels … that meant she wanted to leave!
"Starlight, what did I not do well enough? You're leaving so soon. "The merchant wiped his tears and said sadly.
"You're a hospitable host."
Danny's eyes reddened when she heard this, and she said helplessly, "But I want to go back to the Westeros. My people are waiting for me. The Usurper is dead, and this is the best chance for me. But I can't get any help here."
"Sigh, this is so sad." Zaro cried for a while, then asked casually, "My Star of Heaven, do you plan to ride the camels back to White Cloud City and then return to the Dothraki Sea of Grass?"
"Perhaps. If you're willing to give me two large ships, I'll take the sea route. If there aren't any ships, I'll have to ride the camels."
Zaro thought for a while, then wiped the tears off his face with a handkerchief that smelled strongly of perfume. "My Star of Heaven, you don't have to be so anxious. Perhaps things will take a turn for the better."
"What turn for the better? The royal family has clearly rejected me, and the Thirteen Magnates, represented by you, have always disappointed me. Did the Tourmaline Brotherhood or the Spice Guild change their minds? "Danny asked curiously.
"No, no, no …" Zaro shook his head, and said with disdain, "They won't give you anything other than flattery and lies. The Spice Guild is a group of hypocrites and braggart. Another name for them in the Brotherhood is' Pirates'. "
"Uh, other than these few forces, who else can help me in Queers?"
"Do you still remember the wizard's corpse I bought from you?" Zaro asked instead of answering.
Danny's pretty face was a little twisted. She had been paying attention to Zaro's magical bird, so she told Chora and the Bloodriders about it and asked them to keep an eye out for Zaro's condition.
Chora did not disappoint, and soon found out about Zaro's condition through the servants in the mansion.
Chora said to her, "The one who helped Zaro cast the spell was a rather famous wizard in Queers, Urazon, nicknamed 'Night Walker'.
After the ritual, the servants heard the little boy's cries and the merchant's curses coming from Zaro's room. I guess it worked a little, but it was far from what I expected.
Actually, it doesn't matter whether the spell improved his condition or not, since he doesn't need it most of the time anyway … "
At this point, his face was full of disdain. "All the words he said to you about his love were lies. He doesn't like women at all.
I've noticed that his palace has a bunch of boys from all races in beautiful silk clothes, including centaurs and people from the Summer Islands. They all put on makeup and wore thin clothes. It's just … According to the teachings of the Seven Gods, Zaro will definitely go to the seventh level of hell in the future. "
Waking up from her memories, Danny carefully looked at the short and fat Zaro in front of her. His milky white face was like freshly baked bread, and his nose was decorated with jade, gold, and gemstones. Together with his colorful silk robes, he looked like a bald fat bird with colorful feathers.
You can't judge a book by its cover!
"Is the wizard's spell abnormal?" She asked.
Zaro didn't notice Danny's strange expression, mainly because his situation was nothing in Queers. It was like some men in modern society wearing women's clothes. Everyone was used to it and wouldn't "treat" you differently.
"It works, but it has to be combined with the wizard's potion," he said generously.
Danny's teeth ached. Was this the effect of the potion, or was the spell really working?
"So?" She asked.
"The wizard's power is recovering. They are likely to regain their former power," Zaro said with a serious expression.
Danny understood what he meant. As time passed, the wizard's power would grow stronger and stronger. They would naturally become one of the most powerful people in Queers. If the wizard was willing to help her, then …
"Maybe the wizard lied to you. Even if it's true, why would they help me?" Danny said.
"Let's give it a try if we have the chance. The situation can't get any worse," Zaro suggested. "The wizard's Hall of Dust is very dangerous. Let's not make contact with the great wizard, Haiya Bli.
I know a more secular wizard, Urazon the Night Walker. He has a desire for money. Anyone who loves money can be trusted because I have money! "
