The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 205 The Tide Rises Again
Before Daenerys gave the order to make the news public, the news of the Great Khal's death had already spread among the army.

However, thanks to the political system created by Drogo, this strictly destabilizing news was completely suppressed and could only be circulated on a small scale, and most people did not take it seriously, just as some people's boring rumors.

And everyone is very busy now, busy dividing the spoils. Before conquering Slaver's Bay, Khaleesi had promised that land and wealth would be distributed after the conquest was completed. This makes many people eager to try and look forward to the day when the wealth will be divided.

The division of the spoils had indeed begun. From the leader to the ordinary soldier, everyone had received what they deserved, and now the army was filled with jubilation.

Drogo's old team, the leaders of the mixed-race army he brought from the East, gained the most, and a large number of manors were registered in their names.

The second is the Dothraki tribe. After experiencing Drogo's bloody education, the Dothraki tribe is now obedient to the regime of the Great Khaa. In the battle to attack the three cities in Slaver's Bay, these people also made a lot of efforts - and the efforts must be rewarded.

Finally, there were the surrenderers and freed slaves. Although this group gained the least, in a sense they also gained the most because they gained jurisdiction over the Slaver's Bay. The tribes that made up the Great Khaor's regime knew nothing about managing real estate, so Daenerys adopted the method of collecting the proceeds uniformly and then distributing them according to proportion.

This was the conclusion she, Drogo, and Drogo's staff came to after a long discussion. This was the approach they decided to adopt, and the various tribes had no objections. To them, this was equivalent to a disguised regular tribute, which was still easy to accept.

But when the news of the Great Khaar's death was announced by Khaleesi, many people initially felt that it was fake. How could Lord Drogo suffer such misfortune when his beautiful life had just begun...

While spreading the news, Daenerys mobilized all the forces she could, including the Unsullied, the Roundheads, freed slaves... a large number of troops were concentrated in the pyramid where she was.

People have different opinions on this. Some people think that this is a wise move by Khaleesi, seizing all the power she can grasp and showing her strength; some people think that this is extremely stupid, rashly exposing her embarrassing situation of not being able to grasp the overall situation.

However, despite all the disturbances, the situation is still moving forward.

With the news of Drogo's death, some Dothraki began to stir. Drogo relied on bloody massacres to force the centaurs to surrender. Now, the time for counterattack has come. Women are not worthy of leading the tribe!
Moreover, even though they had obtained a large amount of spoils, they still did not forget
However, before they could take action, the Juggsnai and Ivovellon people under Drogo took action first. Jag of the Juggsnai gathered all the khals and kowtows, then forcibly detained them and captured their families.

In this way, the brewing rebellion of the Dothraki was eliminated. Without the leadership of the khals and the couriers, the rebellion of individual or small-scale centaurs was not a problem at all.

The Eastern Group headed by Jaggar - this is the name of the various nations that Drogo summoned from the east and the north - then announced that they were loyal to the Great Khaor and the child in Daenerys's belly.

Although the Eastern Group swore allegiance, everyone could see that with their actions, most of the troops left behind by Drogo were under their control. There was no doubt that the Eastern Group now held the greatest power.

However, all this did not affect Daenerys's promotion of Drogo's funeral. The Eastern Group held several meetings to distribute power, but was rejected by Daenerys.

Outside the core of power, various groups of people are ready to move and are active for their own purposes. Some want to gain wealth and power, some want to revive their family businesses, and some want to maintain the status quo... In short, everyone has their own ambitions and purposes, and they are working hard for their own goals.

In such a turbulent situation, the funeral of Great Ka Odrogo began.

The funeral venue chosen by Daenerys Targaryen for her husband was outside the walls of Astapor. This place was once a place where slave owners punished slaves. After the red brick city welcomed its new owner, this place was abandoned.

Now, everything here has been razed to the ground and replaced with a large amount of firewood, which has been carved into the image of a horse - a gift from the freed slaves.

A large amount of wealth and works of art are being piled on the firewood. Some of these treasures come from Drogo's treasury, and some come from the treasury of slave owners. No matter how valuable they are or how glorious their stories are, they can only serve as Drogo's burial objects now.

The highest-ranking among the Great Lords, Good Lords, and Wise Lords were also put on the firewood. Their mouths were blocked to prevent them from shouting. They were supposed to be executed when Drogo's rule was fully established in Slaver's Bay, but now, Khaleesi decided to bury them directly with her husband.

Daenerys was dressed in gorgeous clothes, riding on her little silver horse, with her bloodriders on her left and right, and "Lord Roundhead" Skaratz mo'Kantak and "The Butcher" Cleon following closely behind. Ironically, Lord Roundhead and the Butcher are now her most loyal subordinates, and the reason for their loyalty is very simple: interests.

For the new nobles in Slaver's Bay, they hope that Daenerys' rule will continue instead of letting those barbarians who obviously know nothing to manage Slaver's Bay - most importantly, Daenerys will obviously give them more power, but it is really hard to say about those barbarians.

Jaggar stood on the other side with the easters. This Jorgesnai man still looked submissive, but Daenerys didn't know how long his submissiveness would last.

The centaurs looked at Khaleesi with different expressions, some of which were contemptuous. Daenerys knew this very well, but these people are not in the game of thrones yet. However, she must be vigilant. The venting of people's anger is also very dangerous, and she must pay attention to control it.

She had to take control of the situation, Daenerys told herself.

Finally, the moment of consciousness arrived, and as Daenerys raised her hand, the funeral began. No matter what attitude they had, at the moment when Drogo's funeral began, everyone's faces turned into obedience and respect. Even the Dothraki who disliked Drogo the most had to acknowledge his achievements and abilities.

The servants, who had been prepared for a long time, brought a hundred war horses, all of which were the best Dothraki horses, and the one leading the way was Drogo's mount.

The war horses were led onto the firewood, and the warriors who had been waiting for a long time tied up the horses tightly. Beside each horse there was a man holding a Dothraki scimitar. They raised their knives and cut the horses' necks. Blood gushed out. The big animals struggled desperately, but could not change their fate of death.

Along with the war horses, the slave owners who were about to be burned as sacrifices also struggled. The slave owners knew that they would be the next, but no matter how hard they struggled, they could not break free from the firmly tied ropes.

And what they thought was correct. When the bloodied war horses died one after another, with another order, Drogo's body was carried onto the firewood, followed by the body of Viserys Targaryen. Daenerys was going to send away the two most important men in her life at the same time.

"let's start."

Daenerys rode her horse to the firewood, dismounted, and threw the torch handed to her by the servant into the fire. Then the flames swept away like a wild horse.

The slave owners were almost instantly engulfed in flames. These obese, morally corrupt guys made their final struggle for life, but it was all in vain. No matter how hard they struggled, they could not escape the predicament and could only be swallowed by the flames, emitting "woooo" wails.

When the flames burned her husband and brother, Daenerys felt a sense of absurdity. No matter how grand the funeral was, it was still a funeral, the funeral of her husband and brother. They had made all kinds of plans during their lifetime, and although they had countless burial objects after their death, could they really enjoy them?

Daenerys's thoughts did not last long, as the flames completely engulfed everything in them. She sighed and stopped thinking about it. It was time for her to give a speech.

Just when Daenerys was about to carry out the most critical part of the funeral, suddenly, the flames began to roll violently. It rushed up to the sky, where it waved its claws and fangs, and danced. Everyone around exclaimed, even the battle-hardened warriors.

Just like that, yes, just like that, looking at the dancing flames, Daenerys was deeply attracted, and for some reason, she couldn't help but take a step forward.

Then, the flames suddenly rose again, and the power was so terrifying, like a burning chain being swung, that everyone subconsciously stepped back, only Daenerys stood there, still moving forward.

This made everyone panic, especially Lord Roundhead and the Butcher, this was not what was planned!

In the original plan, Daenerys wanted to use Drogo's funeral to mobilize people's atmosphere, and then take some power from the Eastern Group in the name of her unborn child. But now this fire, and Lady Daenerys's reaction and actions, are completely not in the plan.

So everyone planned to pull Daenerys back, but as soon as they took action, the fire broke out again as if in protest. Many people were forced back by the oncoming heat wave, but Daenerys was still as if nothing had happened.

She felt something pulling at her, an attraction so strong that she simply could not refuse it. As she approached, Daenerys found what she wanted among a bunch of property that had been burned beyond recognition.

Those are three dragon eggs.

Daenerys remembered the dragon eggs, which were spoils of war from the slave owner's treasury. The butcher gave them to her as treasures. Daenerys was once fascinated by these stones, but after realizing that they were just some valuable fossils, she put these eggs in a corner to collect dust.

Daenerys took out these eggs from her husband's burial objects, and somehow added them to the burial objects.

Now, Khaleesi was very curious about why this dragon egg exuded such a strong attraction, so she ignored the exclamations and shouts and walked straight into the flames.

The flames burned her clothes, but miraculously, the flames seemed to avoid her. Daenerys did not feel any pain from the burning flames. She came to the dragon eggs very smoothly. She felt that the three eggs were alive. She couldn't help but hold the eggs to her chest.

At this moment, the flame seemed to sense something and began to roll and dance again. After this rolling and dancing, the flame suddenly went out, leaving only darkness and Daenerys.

And...the roar of a creature that had not appeared in the world for hundreds of years.

Involuntarily, everyone attending the funeral knelt down, no matter if they were from the Eastern Group, the centaurs, or the former slaves. In their eyes, Daenerys saw only fear and obedience.

And in the sky, the stars seemed to shine brighter because of what was happening on earth...
