"Since you're living happily by opening a small food stall in Volantis, why did you join the Alliance Army and become the elephant soldiers for the expedition against Slave Bay?" Danny asked in confusion.
She clearly remembered that when Cadillac was still a slave coachman, he yearned for "Misha" who freed the slaves.
It was also because of his admiration that he gained the favor of the Dragon Queen, who decided to give him a chance to change his fate.
Could it be that his thoughts changed when his identity changed?
Dick Tywin said helplessly, "I just got married. Of course, I don't want to fight, much less work for a slave owner.
However, Daina's mother was stripped of her status as a free person because she blackmailed a high-ranking Alliance Army officer. As a chef with a slave status, she had to follow the army to Slave Bay.
Daina was worried about her mother and cried every day. I went to find the Alliance Army officer to ask about Kelly and happened to meet the Long Nose King who was recruiting elephant soldiers.
The story of how I became a free person from a slave made me famous in Volantis. My elephant controlling skills were gradually known and recognized by everyone.
The Long Nose King heard about it and personally tested my ability. He immediately recruited me to be his guard and promised to give Kelly a good job.
If I perform meritorious deeds on the battlefield, I can even use my contributions to redeem her. "
Danny frowned and thought for a while before asking, "Did that Kelly open a meat pie shop in the west of Volantis?
It's on the side of Valleglia Avenue, and it mainly sells carrot and lamb pies. She also has a cousin who was the owner of your previous coachman shop. "
The horse-faced young man widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "Your Majesty, you know Kelly?"
That fat auntie even took five gold radiance from her!
"What did she do to be punished as a slave?" Danny asked curiously.
"The Alliance Army usually uses Valleglia Avenue when they go to Slave Bay, and Kelly's lamb pie shop is on the side of the road. Mercenaries and officers from all over the world often patronize her business.
For some reason, Kelly, who was always smart and experienced, became especially greedy. She asked for sky-high prices when she found out that they were foreign customers.
Two tamed horses, two pieces of meat pie, four bottles of Qingting Island wine, and a pack of snacks. She dared to ask for seven gold radiance!
The wine was fake.
The other party is a famous gossip group. She was directly captured and sent to the military camp's enforcers. According to the law, she was demoted to a slave … "
"Hehe …" Danny laughed unkindly.
After laughing for a while under the puzzled gazes of the others, she got down to business, "Can you find Prince Leo in the Insect Tunnel? Or, does Prince Leo have any arrangement for you to find him?"
"Your Majesty, I'm good at controlling elephants and know them very well. I can find the location of the elephant herd through their feces, footprints, and smell.
The elephant herd was where Prince Leo was. After King Long Nose died, he became the commander of the elephant troops. "
When he said the last sentence, Dick Tywin had a strange expression on his face.
"This method is really good." Danny praised and asked, "How long will it take to find the elephant herd?"
"It mainly depends on how far I am from the elephant herd. If it's 20 kilometers away, it'll take two to three days to walk there, not including the time spent searching, "the long-faced young man said helplessly.
"The village in the south of the city was attacked by the Dragon Worm. You should have found the Dragon Worm Cave, right?" Danny looked at Lara.
"I've also arranged for people to bury water tanks nearby to monitor the underground movements." Meereen's mayor nodded and answered.
Danny suddenly stood up and put her hand on the hilt of her sword, "Let's go immediately and solve the last hidden danger in Slaver's Bay."
"Your Majesty, there are too many uncertainties in the Insect Tunnel. If you're ambushed, no matter how strong you are, in a narrow space, you won't be a match for the Dragon Worm." Old Yimont quickly advised.
"That's not wrong. I definitely didn't dare to enter the Insect Tunnel before, but it's different now. I have a way to protect myself." Danny smiled.
Seeing that she was confident, Old Yimont was relieved and advised again, "Even if you're confident, there's no need to be so anxious.
Don't forget, you have to go outside the city tomorrow to inspect the living conditions of the ordinary people, and the day after tomorrow, you have to give a speech in the square. "
"It's not like I have to find Jenny once I enter the Insect Tunnel. Tomorrow, I'll come back on the dragon. Or, we can put the inspection place in the village near the Insect Tunnel. "
.....
Danny was swift and decisive. She put a special saddle on the little silver horse and let Blackie carry it, and flew to the 'Cuckoo Village' seventy kilometers away.
Lara Amber and the other fifteen Winged Dragon Knights each brought three Iron Armored Knights.
Including Danny and Dick Tywin, there were sixty-two people in total.
"Ah, Kalixi, I didn't expect you to come personally!"
As soon as the Megalosaurus landed on the manor's threshing ground, an old Centaur with a white ponytail came to greet her.
The old man was short and thin, his reddish-brown face was like a shriveled orange that had lost its moisture, and his mouth that was missing front teeth cracked into an ugly smile to please.
Other than the old Dothraki vest that had been replaced with a new and neat sheepskin coat, it was as if he was reborn yesterday.
Danny could not help but be in a daze. The scenes that happened in the Red Wasteland a few years ago flashed through her mind quickly.
"Avanti …" She thought for a moment and suddenly realized, "I remember now, Cuckoo Village is your fief."
Even the Count of Shattered Shackles had a fief, so the Dragon Queen would definitely not mistreat the old officials that followed her all the way out of the Wasteland.
The three cities of Slaver's Bay were all fiefs under the Queen's direct jurisdiction. The south of Heilongjiang, especially Meereen and Astapor, completely implemented the county system.
From Meereen to the northwest, all the way to the edge of the Northern Plains, to the Mataris border in the west, the great nobles under her command, the Dragon Queen allowed them to freely choose between the county system and the fief system.
Even the Ming Dynasty's Guard Office had hereditary official positions and land. The Dragon Queen had her own direct knights, and they all needed a piece of land to support themselves and pass on their family.
In the Heilongjiang region, she had divided many small knight territories, and one of them was Avanti's.
Centaurs, slaves, and foreign knights were the three main forces under the Dragon Queen's command. Maintaining a balance between the three would be more beneficial to her rule … Oh, no, there was the rule of Lisinba's descendants.
The Great Ancestor did not need to play politics, it was all for the sake of his descendants.
"Yes, yes, my fief is in this area. Sigh, those damned Valleglia people, the sun is already gone, what's the point of tormenting them! "
"Oh right, Kalixi, do you know when the sun will rise? I don't have many years left to live, I just hope to see the summer sun one last time before I die. "The old centaur sighed.
Your ambition is not small, to actually want to live until the next summer, how many years would that take?
Anyway, she had no confidence that she could summon the sun within ten years.
"You are old but strong, you can live for another twenty years, the Long Night will definitely end after twenty years." Danny casually comforted her younger brother.
Arriving at the entrance of the manor, three centaur women in their forties and fifties smiled and saluted the Dragon Queen, "Kalixi, we are so happy that you can come to our house."
Beside them were two ponies about two or three years old, a boy and a girl.
They looked nothing like Afandi's son and daughter, so they solemnly followed the centaur custom and called them 'Kalixi'.
Afandi waved his hand and instructed his wife, "Go to the stable and choose sixty-one healthy horses, Kalixi did not come to our house as a guest. If the dragon worm is not dealt with, this land will not be peaceful for a day."
The feudal system of Slaver's Bay was also different from that of Westeros. Every feudal lord had one or more positions to serve the king.
For example, Afandi, as the feudal lord of this land, in addition to bringing his own rations, serving the army, paying taxes for the king and other traditional duties, he also needed to manage a pasture for the Dragon Queen.
The pasture was in his fief, the production costs of grass, labor and other production costs were all provided by him, but when the nearby relay station needed war horses and trained horses, Afandi had to provide them free of charge.
Another example was the Count of Broken Shackles, even if he was a 'great noble' (Slave Bay was very big, but very common in Westeros), he also had to help the Dragon Queen maintain and protect the road from Meereen to the Dothraki Sea, but he could not set up checkpoints on the road to collect toll.
The road belonged to the kingdom.
To put it bluntly, these nobles had the title of feudal lords in name, but they were actually more like county magistrates or magistrates. A large portion of the production in their fief had to be taken out to contribute to the kingdom. They served the country in a substantial way, not the king.
To a certain extent, Slave Bay had completed the centralization of power of the strong and the weak.
.....
Not long after, Afandi's three wives and twenty centaur soldiers brought over a group of healthy horses with saddles and chews.
The Dragon Queen planned to ride on horseback to explore the worm road, her mount was brought over by Blackie, and the other sixty-one war horses needed to be provided by the relay station.
Slave Bay's relay station system began in Astapor. At that time, in order to ensure a substantial ruling power over the villages outside the city, one of the measures was to connect all the centaur relay stations in the villages.
When Yuan Kai and Meereen fell into their hands, and when the Battle of Meereen was won, the older centaur warriors retired from the army and changed jobs to become the relay soldiers of Slave Bay.
Other than delivering parcels and letters, conveying the Queen's orders to the village, and helping the village chief deliver "memorials" to his superiors or even the Queen, assisting the village militia in arresting bandits was also their job.
"Kalixi, I'm very familiar with this place. Let me go with you!" Afana patted his chest and volunteered.
"You're familiar with the surface, but if we go underground, there will definitely be a battle. You'd better stay at home and take care of the children!"
Danny waved her hand and led the sixty fully armed knights out of Afanti's house.
The Insect Path was located at the center of the village. It was the ruins of a collapsed brick house. The house had collapsed because of the Dragon Worm's sudden attack.
A path had been cleared by the village militia.
The average width of the tunnel was about three meters, so it wasn't stuffy at all.
"Caw, caw, caw …" A series of black shadows flew out from Danny's purple eyes and turned into eighty-one large crows.
"Go, look for a passage with a higher concentration of fire elements and the highest temperature. At the same time, pay attention to the smell in the air. If you find feces or traces of human life, inform me immediately. “
"Caw! Caw! Caw! Caw!" 79 large crows cawed and disappeared into the dark cave in front of them without a sound.
"Boom!" The remaining two turned into a ball of fire the size of a plate. One floated in the middle of the cavalry while the other floated at the front.
"Let's go!" Danny frowned and urged the stunned Dick Tywin.
"Caw, caw …" The long-faced youth looked at the Dragon Queen in awe and hurriedly spurred his horse forward.
"Your Majesty, you went to the Sosros Continent again? You actually picked up so many little elves. Are there so many little elves there? "Lara looked at the baby-faced little sun in the sky and exclaimed.
"There are a lot of them. Groups of them, just like carrots in the field. I picked up two thousand of them at once. I couldn't fit them all in my pocket so I came back." Danny said with a wooden face.
