Blood of the True Dragon

Chapter 26 The New System

In the desolate next door, tens of thousands of Dothraki with braids were looting villages one by one.

Khal Drogo sat on his tall red horse and silently inspected the atrocities of his men. This is the tradition of the Dothraki, and fighting and plunder are things in the blood of the Dothraki.

Viserys was getting a little tired of all this, and he didn't care how many villages Drogo robbed, he just didn't know how long it would take before he reached Slaver's Bay.

Finally, Viserys couldn't help stopping Drogo:

"Great Kayo, we've been wasting too much time, maybe that liar will leave Slaver's Bay if this continues!"

Viserys would never have talked to Drogo like that if he hadn't needed Drogo's army, for he saw the Dothraki as barbarians, savage beasts.

And he is a real dragon, and a real dragon will not bow its knees under wild beasts!

But his anger at Aegon had already driven him mad, and his hatred for Aegon had grown in the past few months.

In his dream, he wanted to kill the other party countless times, to kill the liar who pulled him off the throne, to kill the bastard who took his sister's first night from him.

Drogo couldn't understand what Viserys said, so he had to be translated to Drogo by a Dothraki slave who came with him and was presented by a wealthy Pentos merchant.

But when Drogo finished listening, the other party just gave Viserys a cold look:
"It only takes ten days for a Dothraki horse to drive from here to Slaver's Bay, but the horse also needs food! I promise to kill that Targaryen in Slaver's Bay and marry your sister!"

Viserys just snorted coldly when he heard this.

"Kayo, the knights you sent out have returned!"

At this moment, the scout who happened to be sent out to inquire about the news also brought back the news.

"Great Kahal, that Targaryen has deceived tens of thousands of Unsullied half a month ago! He has established himself as king in Astapor!"

The scout came back panting and told Drogo the bad news.

"what?"

The other high-ranking Dothraki exclaimed when they heard this.

The Dothraki cavalry are invincible, and they have hardly encountered opponents across the entire Dothraki Sea and the Free Trade City.

Except the Unsullied!
400 years ago, in the battle of Qohor (one of the nine free trade cities), more than 5 Dothraki cavalry fought against [-] Unsullied, but ended in a disastrous defeat.

The Dothraki rained countless arrows on the army of the Unsullied, and charged 18 times, but the Unsullied resisted them one by one.

More than 1 Dosraki cavalry, including the Dosraki leader Temo Kao himself, were killed in this battle.

The Dothraki cut off the braids that symbolized honor and threw them in front of the surviving Unsullied.

Since then, this legend has been handed down from the grassland, and Kohor City has been guarded by the Unsullied since then.

Now Aegon has nearly [-] Unsullied soldiers, while Khal Drogo has only [-] cavalry, which is not as many as the [-] cavalry of Khal Temer in the Battle of Qohor. How did you beat the opponent?

"Great Kahal, I have to remind you that the Dothraki grasslands should be where horses gallop. We shouldn't risk going to Slaver's Bay for a Targaryen woman!"

A Dothraki as strong as a bull stepped forward.

He is Drogo's Kou (similar to Drogo's commander), commanding thousands of Dothraki cavalry.

Drogo's move to Slaver's Bay after being lured by Viserys had already caused dissatisfaction among many Dothraki these days.

But now when he learned that his opponent had tens of thousands of Unsullied, this kind of dissatisfaction burst out directly.

Obviously, Drogo would have to pay a very high price if he wanted to defeat the opponent now, and he might not even be able to win.

For a Targaryen woman, these people feel that it is very unworthy of such a thankless effort.

Viserys looked at Khal Drogo very disturbed at the news.

If the other party decided to retreat, he didn't know how to deal with Aegon again.

Drogo's stern eyes swept across the speaking Kou:

"I, Khal Drogo, son of Khal Balbo, will never be easily defeated by that brat!"

In fact, Drogo had asked Viserys and the people in Pentos when he came here before, and the information he got at that time was that Aegon's money could only buy a few thousand Unsullied at most.

In this case, he still has a chance to defeat the opponent on the battlefield.

And past honors tell him that he can always beat his opponents.

But he didn't expect so many Unsullied to come out of Aegon directly.

But now it is no longer possible for him to retreat. As the most powerful khal on the Dothraki grassland, the braid behind him does not allow him to retreat.

These tens of thousands of Dothraki cavalry followed him because he was the most powerful khal, so he did not allow failure, nor could he back down.

"It's really crazy, that silver-haired Targaryen has captivated your mind, you are not worthy to be my khal!"

The Kou who provoked the trouble just now stood up and jumped towards Drogo, the Dothraki scimitar in his hand kept dancing.

The Dothraki valued force, and this was his challenge to his khal.

Drogo didn't flinch after seeing the opponent's movements, and went up to him empty-handed.

Kou's scimitar was very good, but Drogo's body was extremely flexible, and he dodged the attacks one by one.

The bells in Drogo's braid kept ringing, as if they were slowly ringing the bell of victory.

Then, Drogo seized the opportunity, grabbed the opponent's scimitar with his backhand, and slashed towards the opponent's neck fiercely.

Blood gushed out in an instant, and Drogo grabbed the opponent's throat with his right hand, tearing the trachea apart.

Then Drogo yelled at the Dothraki next to him with his arms outstretched, showing off his might.

"I, Khal Drogo, want to do what the previous khals failed to do. I want to lead my khals to defeat those Unsullied. I want to rape their women and take children as slaves!"

Drogo's wild growl echoed through the sky, and no one dared to disobey him after that.

Later that night, Drogo's messengers also traveled to Vaes Dothraki (similar to Dothraki's Jerusalem).

……

Astapor.

Aegon was sitting at the table enjoying his breakfast.

It's topped with cherries, figs, and low-strength wine.

"Your Majesty, this is a delicacy that Astaport has - dog brain jelly!"

Aegon's Astapor cook had brought up a plate of mush to offer to the king.

Aegon quickly waved his hand to let the other party take him down. Looking at the smiling face of the other party, he wished to punch the other party.

"Your Majesty, you should deal with the disputes among the people below."

While Aegon was devouring his breakfast, the words of the maid Raslin directly made him feel bad.

Aegon could only reluctantly get up and sit down in the judgment hall.

Astapor was originally under the joint jurisdiction of several slave owners, so if there were any disputes among the subordinates, these nobles would arbitrate them.

Now that Aegon was their king, the responsibility naturally fell on his shoulders.

"Your Majesty, the gutter between our two families is shared, but he drained the sewage into it without authorization. Now it is full of stolen goods. You have to decide..."

"Your Majesty, the contract we signed was originally to cooperate together, but now he suddenly violated the contract and refused to pay liquidated damages..."

"His Majesty……"

"Ser Jon, have you found the man I asked you to find?"

After finishing a lot of business in the morning, Aegon almost went crazy.

If these things are not outsourced, he, the king, should be bored to death within two years.

"Find it! Your Majesty, I will send someone to bring him in immediately."

As he spoke, Jon Connington asked the guards to bring in two scholars, one of whom was wearing a yellow gauze robe and his temples were a little gray, while the other looked younger.

"His Majesty!"

After the two scholars saw Aegon, Aegon immediately knelt down to show his piety.

"What's your name?"

"Tocaniz (Amozni), Your Majesty!"

"Very well, Amozni, I now officially appoint you as the affairs officer of Astapor, responsible for mediating disputes among these free folk.

Tokaniz, I now appoint you as the chief judge of Astapor. If there are accusations of vicious incidents such as fights, murders, and rapes, or economic disputes that cannot be resolved by the affairs officer, they will be resolved by the judge. .

In the future, every time there are such charges, 12 jury members will be randomly selected to decide whether they are guilty, and the judge will announce the sentence! "

Aegon directly established the prototype of the mediation committee and the court, and handed over all these matters to two famous scholars in the area.

As for how to improve it in the future, how to formulate a specific institutional constitution cannot be resolved overnight.

Now he had to act in a hurry, and he couldn't be trapped in Astapor for the rest of his life.

"Willing to serve you, Your Majesty!"
