At the top of the Blackstone Tower of Babel, Dragon Queen received Deputy Commander Jack.
It was a young man about the same age as Aegon, with a hooked nose and a hint of stubbornness in his youthful face. His red eyes were clear and firm, and his thick body was covered in dark gray plate armor. He was tall and steady.
"If I don't agree to your request, what will you do?" Danny, who was riding on Blackie's back, asked.
"I will order the granaries and armory to be burned. Before coming, I have already ordered my subordinates to pile oil barrels in every warehouse. You only need to throw down the torches, and you will suffer a great loss."
The shock in the young man's red eyes when he first saw the Dragon Queen disappeared quickly. His face was expressionless, as firm as a rock and as cold as ice.
"Clap clap clap!" Dragon Queen clapped three times, and two Wings of Freedom immediately carried a stretcher over.
"Father?!" Looking at the stretcher, the young man's firm expression instantly turned into anger and grief.
Looking at the young man who was holding back his tears, Danny said indifferently, "Burn it, I don't care about that bit of food. It doesn't belong to me anyway."
Jack's father was dead. He was assassinated by Danny's men before she attacked Toros.
The Long Spear Troop was a well-known large mercenary group. Therefore, their commander and mayor were the top targets.
After that, it was the three guards and the commanders of the West Camp mercenary group who entered the city to have fun.
The commander of the Long Spear Troop, 'Shoemaker' Gilo Reja, died in grievance.
He traveled thousands of miles from Toros to Volantis, recruited and trained for more than half a year, and traveled more than four thousand miles east in a few months, passing through the Demon's Avenue and arriving at Toros.
In the end, he did not even see the Dragon Queen, nor did he even pull out his sword, and died in his drunken dreams at the hands of the little assassin Danny Si.
The hook-nosed Jack hugged his father's grey-green corpse, and his eyes were so red that it was almost dripping blood.
After a moment, he turned his head and stared at Danny, and said word by word, "I will not let you get a single grain of rice."
"Brat, accept reality. Your resistance is destined to be futile. The Queen has never lacked food." Tyrion could not help but say.
For some reason, when the dwarf saw the young man risking his life for his father, hugging his father's corpse, holding back his tears and stubbornly resisting the Dragon Queen, he could not bear to see him die under the Dragon Queen's wrath.
"At least I can make her heart ache. If she doesn't cherish those resources, she won't waste her time meeting me here."
Jack's face hardened, his eyes filled with determination.
"Are you sure you can leave this place and give your men an order?" Little Aegon asked curiously.
Yes, Little Aegon had also participated in tonight's battle. The matte white steel armor on his body was splattered with dark red blood.
His swordsmanship was not bad, he fought bravely, and his equipment was good enough (forged by the blacksmith grandmaster Tobu Mott). He had killed two soldiers at the dock, so he had seen blood.
"I really hope that the Queen will kill me right now." The young man smiled bitterly.
"Why?" Aegon asked with interest.
"Hurting the negotiator will hurt the Queen's reputation more than the value of the food. He is willing to use his life to take revenge on the Queen." Old Face explained to his adopted son in a low voice.
"You can go. I will return the corpses of your father and the deputy commanders," Danny said calmly.
Jack gave her a deep look, then carried his late father's body and walked downstairs.
When the hook-nosed man's figure disappeared, Danny ordered in a clear voice, "Missande, take the Unsullied and surround the warehouse in the north of the city.
Morono (commander of the Wings of Liberty), take five thousand archers and cooperate with Missande.
Missande, stay in the city lord's manor and temporarily take over the position of city lord.
Sir Clinton, take the sailors to clean up the dock and collect the unburned ships.
Simon (commander of the Wings of Liberty), command the remaining soldiers to search the city and arrest the Toros officials and nobles … In addition, collect the remaining scorpion crossbows.
Cui Luo, take five hundred light cavalry and follow me to sweep the West Camp. "
"Yes." The generals promised.
"Wait a moment, Your Majesty."
Seeing the black dragon get up and about to take off, Tyrion hurriedly called out to the Dragon Queen and quickly said, "Why don't I suggest the Long Lance Spear?
"Why don't you let me persuade the pike regiment to surrender? Just as the Shoemaker's son said, it's always beneficial for you to obtain a batch of food and armaments."
Danny looked down at the dwarf below, a faint smile in the depths of her violet eyes. "You can tell the Long Lance Spear that if they dare to burn a single granary, the Demon Mother Of Dragons will kill everyone."
"Hiss —" Blackie leaped and flew into the dark night sky.
That night, the Dragon Queen let loose and went on a killing spree. The three dragons chased after more than ten thousand mercenaries in the night.
Toros had three city gates in the south, north, and west. The east side was higher, and there was no dock on the cliff facing the sea.
The reason why the West Camp was built outside the west gate was not because there was a large piece of land to the west, but because the west side was close to the dock and convenient for sea transportation.
Therefore, when Toros' control of the sea fell into the hands of the Dragon Queen, the mercenaries in the West Camp could only run north through Valleglia Avenue to Mataris, or leave the avenue and enter the wilderness.
The Dragon Queen chased along Valleglia Avenue and burned the troops with torches when she encountered them. She did not persuade them to surrender at all. She had done so long ago. The fact that they could run here meant that they had refused to surrender. It was too late to surrender now.
She chased them until the dawn of the second day. They were 80 kilometers away from the city and almost at Mataris.
Along the way, they left behind an endless stream of charred corpses.
"Cui Luo, Little White will stay behind to help you. Capture the captives along the way and let the captives clean up the corpses."
Cui Luo and the five hundred light cavalry followed her for the whole night. They did not kill many enemies, but tied up several thousand mercenaries who surrendered.
Danny returned to the mayor's mansion. When she was having breakfast in the bright and spacious hall, Tyrion came back with a face full of smiles.
"Your Majesty, I took down the warehouses in the north of the city for you. None of them were burned. There are at least 300,000 tons of food and thousands of tons of iron ingots.
There are also 500 brand new scorpion crossbows and tens of thousands of sets of steel swords and iron armor. Especially the elephant armor, there are a total of five thousand sets. "The dwarf said happily.
Danny swallowed half a boiled egg with milk and asked, "How did you do it?"
"I secretly told Missandei not to arrange for the corpses to be sent to the north gate. You only promised to return them, but you did not say where, did you?
Therefore, Jack, who lost his father, could only go to the backyard of the mayor's mansion and find a handcart to push his father's and the other deputy commanders' bodies back to the Pike Regiment. Hehe … "
At this point, Tyrion was so proud that he could not help but chuckle. "I took advantage of the time difference and rushed to the warehouse station before Jack. I told all the mercenaries in the Pike Regiment that the young commander wanted to take revenge on the Dragon Queen. He wanted to use the lives of more than five thousand people in the regiment to perish together with the supplies in the 20 warehouses."
"Ah, it seems that you also know the conduct of mercenaries very well!" Danny chewed on the bacon and sighed vaguely.
"Of course. Otherwise, how would I deal with Bronn?"
Tyrion shrugged and continued, "The leaders of the pike regiment have all been killed by your assassins. The regiment originally only had 800 pike cavalrymen. Now, their cavalry has doubled. At first, they didn't even have any infantry. Now, they have 4,000 more.
They are all new recruits recruited in Volantis.
Mercenaries have never had honor. At this time, the new mercenaries have no friendship with the old commander. Of course, none of them are willing to die under the dragon's flames.
Even the old members may be willing to take revenge for the old commander, but they are not willing to perish together with a few sacks of wheat. I clearly told them that you do not care much about the grain.
Everyone in the world knows that Slave Bay is engaged in large-scale grain production. Burning the grain is useless other than provoking the wrath of the True Dragon.
When the young commander huffed and puffed, sweating profusely as he pushed the handcart back to the camp, what welcomed him was the swords and chains of his comrades and my proud smile. "
"That fellow only hates me and thinks that everything is the work of the deformed Devil Monkey. You do not know about this matter, so you are still glorious. Your honor is not at all affected. "The dwarf quickly added.
Danny wiped her mouth with a napkin and looked at him meaningfully for a while. She said, "Alright, I will let him go. I will give him a bag of dry rations and let him leave at noon."
"Uh …" Tyrion and Aegon were stunned at the same time.
"You heard?" Tyrion asked.
"Heard what?"
"Then how did you know that the condition of the spear cavalry's surrender was to spare Jack Reha's life?" Tyrion asked in surprise.
"Didn't you go through all this trouble just to save that kid's life? Even if the spear cavalry did not state this condition, you would have given them this option. "Danny said calmly.
"Your Majesty is wise." Tyrion rubbed his nose that was missing its tip and said awkwardly.
"Aunt Danny, how can you let him go now? Didn't you burn the crow's nest to cut off the news of Tolos from the outside world?" Aegon was confused.
"We cannot stay in Tolos for long. It will take us at least three days to reach Mataris which is three hundred kilometers away on foot. It might even take us longer." Tyrion said hesitantly.
— When encountering a major event and having personal feelings in his heart, did the dwarf habitually do something stupid?
Danny drank the milk in the glass and was deep in thought.
.....
The next morning, around ten o 'clock.
The weather was clear.
The northeast wind was weak.
Looking down from the sky, there was an endless stream of carriages between the warehouse in the north of the city and the pier in the south of the city.
The soldiers of the Unsullied and the Wings of Liberty were like diligent worker ants. They carried rations, furs, and iron ingots from the warehouse, drove the ox carts and carriages, and moved to the ships with the True Dragon flag on the pier.
"Very good. The Mother Of Dragons' troops have not left yet. They are rushing to transport rations."
Piero Valoris put down his binoculars. He seemed to be talking to someone, but there was no one around him.
"Mercenaries?"
Piero muttered. He picked up the single-lens high power binoculars again and looked carefully.
At the original location of the West Camp, a pigsty like camp was rebuilt. It was full of captive mercenaries, a total of fifteen thousand people!
"Master Benny, the West Camp has become a captive camp. Only half of the mercenaries are left. The rest are either dead or escaped into the wilderness.
If what Jack Reha said is true, I guess most of them are dead. The Mother Of Dragons slaughtered at least ten thousand people the night before yesterday. "
— What about the dragons? Did they notice you?
There was no sound, but this message clearly appeared in the mind of the Balor City Lord's son-in-law.
"I saw them. Three dragons. The white dragon is above the north of the city. It seems to be guarding against enemies from the Valleglia Avenue in the north. Hahaha, Mataris is north of Tolos, but who said we had to come from the north? "
After laughing wildly for a while, Piero continued to report, "The black dragon is circling above the pier. The green dragon is lying on the top floor of my black tower, basking in the sun and sleeping."
— Did you see that woman?
"You want to kill her?" Piero was shocked.
— — Give him a taste of his own medicine!
"Haha, good! She used similar methods to kill many of our noble companions. She should be given retribution! "Piero laughed excitedly.
