Blood of the True Dragon

Chapter 19 Astapor
As the most powerful khal on the Dothraki grasslands, Drogo has the most powerful card LS (the tribe of the Dothraki).

At the same time, he also has his own pride. For opponents, the Dothraki seldom use conspiracy. He prefers to kill the opponent with the scimitar in his hand. This has been verified countless times in the history of thousands of years.

So when he learned that Aegon would appear in Slaver's Bay, he had only one idea, to go to Slave's Bay to wipe out the opponent's troops, and then plunder.

Viserys still wanted to make Drogo think carefully, but was stopped by the merchant of Pentos who raised his hand:

"Look at Khal Drogo's braid, the Dothraki cut it off after losing a battle, and Drogo's braid is so long, it's enough to prove his strength!

You have to trust Khal Drogo to bring you victory! "

As if knowing what Viserys was thinking, he went on to add:
"Your Majesty, I still need to remind you that there is no business in the world of the Dothraki. If you want to get the crown, you have to be friends with them first, and then wait for them to give you the crown."

Viserys fell silent upon hearing this.

On the blue sea, a group of merchant ships wearing the flag of Reese are slowly sailing towards the distant bay.

Daenerys Targaryen is training her unique swordsmanship on the deck.

Aegon directly asked Belwas to teach Daenerys some neat killing skills.

After all, among all the people present, no one is more capable of killing than him.

"Yuck~"

Raistlin lay on the side of the boat and retched into the sea for a while.

She got seasick when she encountered some rough seas, and she vomited all over the way.

"We're going to Astapor soon, and you'll be free soon!" Aegon leaned on the side and smiled at the other party.

"Thanks for the kind words, but do you really think with these soldiers you bought you can go back to the Seven Kingdoms and take back the Iron Throne?"

Raisin had heard Aegon and the others analyze the situation, and knew that if the Seven Kingdoms really wanted to reorganize the army, about 40 full-time soldiers could still be reorganized.

Not to mention the [-] Unsullied that he wants to buy in Slaver's Bay this time, even if you double it a few times, it won't work!

Hearing that Raistlin still didn't use the honorific title for him, Aegon didn't feel anything wrong, but just slightly emphasized his tone:
"Everything is artificial, you know, I didn't even have a boat just three months ago.

Now I have 1000 Unsullied (bought some more in Braavos), so much gold, and even three dragon eggs. "

Although Aegon has been able to get along so far purely because he has a good backer, but who stipulates that he can't compete with his background?

Anyway, Aegon didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. He had indeed changed his fate, otherwise he would have died in two years.

When Raistlin heard Aegon's words, she cast her amber eyes into the distance and fell into deep thought.

"By the way, I haven't asked how you were sold to Yunkai?" Aegon asked curiously.

"I was captured and sold as slaves by the Dothraki a few years ago, so what's the point?"

As nomads, it is impossible for the Dothraki to grow food for themselves, so they spend most of their time burning, killing and looting.

When Aegon heard what Raistlin said, he stopped asking, because there was a high probability that the relatives of the other party had been killed by the Dothraki, and asking him any more was just to expose her scars.

Astapor is located next to the mouth of the Worm River. A 400-foot stepped pyramid stands in the center of the city, which is particularly eye-catching.

Aegon's fleet slowly docked in this crime-filled city, and the locals gathered around the shore to watch the excitement when they saw such a large fleet approaching.

The local women wearing yellow veils looked at Daenerys and Joanna, who were not masked, and surrounded them curiously.

As the princess guard, Jorah Mormont could only keep pushing away the crowd.

Seeing this, Aegon could only let the Unsullied guard them well and rushed to the Pride Square in Astapor, where slaves were traded.

In the center of Pride Square was a red brick fountain, the water in it smelled like sulfur, and in the center of the fountain was a huge bronze harpy, twenty feet high.

She had a woman's face—gilded hair, ivory eyes, and sharp ivory teeth—and a naked female body underneath, with yellow water bubbling from heavy breasts, and where her arms should have been like bats or The wings of a dragon, the legs of an eagle, and a curly and vicious scorpion tail trailing behind.

This is the symbol of the ancient Ghis Empire - the harpies.

The Ghis Empire had been destroyed by the Valyrian nation thousands of years ago, but these totems were still kept by these people.

"Let these stupid pigs and whores of Westeros look down, I sell meat, not iron! This statue is not for sale." Slave trader Krazni mo Nakroz Missandei, the slave girl who translated, shouted angrily.

The slave owners of Astapor call themselves good lords, and they are mainly engaged in the business of the most special slave army in the world-the Unsullied.

Of course they will also train other slaves such as bed slaves, but the main thing in Astapor is to train and trade Unsullied.

Krazny looked at the Unsullied guards behind Aegon and grinned, "These purple-eyed savages must think my Unsullied is good enough and come to buy them because they know how good our products are!"

The slave master spoke the ancient Valyrian language, which was mixed with many slang words commonly used by slave masters. Aegon could understand this Valyrian language after learning it, but he still pretended not to know what it meant. Looking at Missandei next to her, she waited for her to translate.

"My lord Krazny asked, Your Excellency thinks our Unsullied is good enough to buy it?" For someone who has never been to Westeros, she speaks the Common Tongue quite well. .

The girl was about ten years old, with a flat round face, dark skin and golden eyes unique to the Nass.

Her people were called "peaceful people" who never used weapons anyway, and were therefore considered the best slaves.

Aegon shook his head lightly:

"My army of Unsullied was sent by others, not bought by me. Recently, I just lack a group of slave soldiers to guard the ships. If your asking price is too high, I will go to other places."

"My lord, they said they just want to buy an army that can only guard them, and they don't want the price to be too high." Missandei turned her head and told the slave owner.

Krazny snorted nonchalantly: "If he didn't like the sincerity of my Unsullied, how could he come here? He obviously doesn't know how perfect the Unsullied are. Tell him how the Unsullied trains. Yes, they are the most perfect fighters in this world."

The weather was very hot, and the sun shone on the red stone bricks, causing a roiling heat wave. Although Krazny had two twin female slaves behind him, each holding up a silk-patterned parasol for him, his fat body was still streaming. sweat.

And the Unsullied below didn't seem to feel the heat wave, at least they didn't show it at all.

The thousand slaves came out of the barracks for Aegon's inspection, and they lined up in ten rows, a hundred each, before the fountain and the mighty bronze harpy, standing straight and straight, their emotionless eyes fixed on Stare ahead.

They wore nothing but white linen loins and conical bronze helmets with a foot-high spike on their heads.

"Based on size, speed, and strength, they were selected from childhood," Missandei followed Aegon in an orderly manner about the training of the Unsullied, just like a shopping guide in a shopping mall.

"And trained from the age of five. Every day from dawn until dark, until he mastered the short sword, the shield, and the three kinds of spears.

The training was brutal, Sire, and it is a well-known fact that only one of the three boys survived.

There is a saying about the Unsullied: From the day the spiked helm is won, the hardest life is over, and no mission henceforth will be as severe as the training of the first. "
