Chapter 410
Big Black first got the official Great Protector of Light status at King's Landing before arriving at Oldtown before Raven and proclaiming the Seven Deadly Sins of Citadel.
This is not the lynching of the Citadel by the Dragon Queen, the High Sparrow and the Holy See are officially involved.
Just as Cersei reported Margaery, High Septon took the case and locked Margaery.
Dany reports Citadel and High Septon has to take the case, bringing Citadel Maester to the Church trial.
It's a tradition!
If the named Archmaester goes to the Wall obediently and honestly, it would be an admission of guilt.
And put on black clothed, and eliminate the past sins, Church will no longer intervene.
If the Citadel Archmaester is arrested by the "Bounty Hunter" and taken to Great Sept, High Sparrow will teach them how to behave.
With this, Dany's career at Westeros is over.
Big Black takes the Dorne —Stepstones —Lys —Volantis —Mantarys —Astapor route, picking up someone at Stepstones halfway through.
Black girl Alleras.
After Lord of the Waters' fleet was reorganized by Barristan, he also completed the mission of "robbing" Hightower's fleet.
Well, robbery is bullshit.
Barristan has to guarantee two things: First, Old Man of Oldtown spends 3 million Golden Dragon, 200,000 tons of food purchased from Free City will be safely transported to Claw Isle and Dragonstone;
Next, respond to the fleet that prepares the White Cloak Darkstar, and place the Wildlings received from Eastwatch in Stepstones and Disputed Lands.
Well, there will be 60%, about 120,000 tons of grains will be transported to Claw Isle, and then transferred from Claw Isle into the Bay of Crabs, upstream Trident, and handed over to Septon Meribald in Maidenpool.
Let old Septon help the farmers in the Riverlands who have no food storage due to the war.
As soon as a word is spoken, the horse is hard to follow.
Since Dany promised Septon Meribald to rescue the people of the Riverlands, whether or not she was influenced by the Three-Eyed Crow at the time, she had to keep her word.
Another 80,000 tons will be sent to Dragonstone for storage in case of emergencies.
Bullneck Marwyn continues to follow fourth White Cloak Garth's fleet.
He's going to Myr to buy materials for the "magic power internet".
Well, the book "Valyria Magic Power Network" in the Citadel Seneschal's Court library has been loaned to Marwyn by the Old Man of Oldtown.
Dany intends to build a small Magic Power Network using the small Dragonstone volcano.
The black girl Alleras originally planned to find Dragon Queen apprenticeship to learn art, of course she couldn't stay in Dragonstone.
Under the guidance of the talking Holy Dragon, Alleras took out the Valyrian Steel Sword, books, and strange treasures that the Dragon Queen robbed that day from Lys and Volantis.
"The Seven is above, so many Valyrian Steel Swords..." Opening the package, the black girl was stunned.
"Ai, Braavos Iron Bank is the place with the most collection of Valyrian Steel Sword. Unfortunately, that place can't be grabbed." Dragon Queen regretted through Big Black's mouth.
During the last second negotiation at the House of Black and White, Dragon Queen asked Iron Bank to compensate White Cloak for a mental damage fee and let him pick a Valyrian Steel Sword.
Dany promised to equip Darkstar with a Valyrian Steel Sword that day.
But the loot is hidden in Lys and Volantis, and there is no chance to take it out for now.
And Gerold is about to lead the rented fleet to Eastwatch immediately, to pick up Wildlings at the pier near the wall beyond the wall, possibly encountering Wights and Others.
Dany didn't want to blackmail the Braavos, she didn't lack a sword or two, she just wanted to make Gerold's trip safer.
Keyholders was also very happy, and agreed immediately after understanding Dragon Queen's idea.
Then fatty Bessaro personally took Gerold to Iron Bank and let him oneself pick.
800 handles!
Of the three thousand Valyrian Steel weapons in the world, Westeros has only 227 weapons, and the rest are mostly in Free City. Braavos alone has more than 800 weapons.
Knives, swords, axes, spears, daggers, everything.
That's when Dany really understands how arrogant Iron Bank is.
Or, how lucrative is the Faceless Men business.
Bessaro didn't want to hide Iron Bank's wealth, but he couldn't.
Father Ma deliberately lived in a dilapidated house, drank porridge, ate steamed bread and pickles, and then said that oneself lived such a hard life and was a poor man.
Do you believe it?
Even Wildlings knows that Iron Bank holds more than half of the world's gold. Is it useful to hide it?
When Gerold was shocked and asked why Iron Bank could collect so many Valyrian Steel Swords, the fat Keyholders were also blunt: more than half of them belonged to Faceless Men's remuneration, and Valyrian Steel Swords were hard currency far exceeding gold, Easy to carry and less noticeable.
"In fact, without the transcendent power involved, the Valyrian Steel Sword has the same effect as the Qohor premium steel sword except that it is thinner and lighter.
That's why Westeros Knight likes to take the Valyrian Steel Sword as Weapons, in Free City, Valyrian Steel is mostly used as payment for large transactions." Fatty Bessaro said.
Actually, it is reasonable to think about it carefully. To kill a Dragon Queen at the young stage, it will cost 5 million Golden Dragons, dozens of tons of gold, and a big boat must be loaded.
It's too ostentatious and too dangerous to travel thousands of miles.
As for opening an account with Iron Bank...
For depositing gold from Slaver's Bay to Volantis, Iron Bank charges Dragon Queen a 13% fee.
1 million Golden Dragon, paid to Iron Bank 130,000, ordinary people really can't bear it.
To be honest, Dany had a moment of regret after learning that Iron Bank had 800 Valyrian Steel weapons in his possession: he should try to get Gerold to hire one or two mercenary groups and arrange them near Iron Bank in advance.
With Big Black support, maybe try to rob Iron Bank?
Well, Iron Bank is built under the rocky mountain range, the tunnel is narrow and deep, and only two dragons absolutely can't rob the bank.
......
In addition to retrieving the spoils, Big Black also has a mission to inspect the movements of the Allied forces.
To be honest, Dany initially thought that the World War does not raise.
Slaver's Bay and Qarth are separated by a purgatory wasteland, more than 2,000 kilometers by land.
Volantis is further from Slaver's Bay, and even if you venture across Valyria, it's 2,500 kilometers.
How long will it take for the 100,000 Allied army to go?
How big is the logistical pressure?
By sea from New Ghis, facing the Dragon Queen who has absolute air supremacy, the blood of the Allied fleet can dye the Gulf of Grief red.
At the time, Dany felt that even if the Allies were determined and thousands of ships transported supplies, the war would really break out a year later.
A year later, Long Night is here.
What are you playing?
Unfortunately, she guessed wrong.
The Allies have been set off.
The fleet in Volantis harbour is halved, with 80 percent sailing to New Ghis.
The Navy will use New Ghis as a bridgehead to attack Slaver's Bay.
On the spacious Valyrian road from Volantis to Mantarys, not to mention crowded, but also separated by more than ten kilometers, you can see hundreds or thousands of mercenary teams.
The Hathay, Carriage, and Ox-carriage teams that transport grain are connected in a line that stretches for four or five miles.
"Sigh--" Big Black, carrying two large bags, whizzed 400 meters above the mercenary's head.
"ahhhh, Demon Dragon, Demon Dragon attack, push Scorpion out."
The mercenary was startled at first, but quickly regained his composure.
They acted quickly and had a clear division of labor. Some of the archers lifted the curtain on the carriage, pushed Scorpion out, turned the angle of the shooting hole, and searched the sky for the dragon silhouette.
The rest spread out and hide in the fields on both sides of the Blackstone Great Way to avoid the dragon's concentrated fire attack.
"I am the Great Protector of Light, I am the Holy Light..."
"Ahhhh..." dragon suddenly spoke, too shocking Horrifying, the mercenary screamed in horror, and while still out of range, Scorpion fired a crossbow bolt "whiz whiz whiz".
"Demon Dragon is talking, Gods!"
The mercenary panicked, and some even cried.
Seeing them so cowardly, Dany suddenly lost interest in acting cool, leaving a sentence "Dragonmother has the virtue of good life, I advise you to wait, this is the Great Way to death. The sea of blood is boundless, repent and be saved, good is good." He left without looking back.
Well, that's acting cool already.
The black girl Alleras and the mercenary below looked sluggish and deeply shocked.
Some people are still thinking about whether to "repent and be saved" immediately.
Indeed, the sea of blood is boundless...it's terrifying to listen to!
Flying over the Great Plains of Rhoyne, the sky darkened suddenly, as if the Sun overhead was covered in a thick layer of cotton yarn.
Big Black enters the Lands of Long Summer.
A gray sky, a barren land with brown red weeds.
A straight Valyrian road leads to the Mantarys.
There is no Fiend.
Mercenaries and caravans continue on the Blackstone Great Way, but nowhere is the Fiend invaded.
And the scene outside Mantarys shocked Dany even more. Thousands of multi-colored tents, like mushrooms after the rain, suddenly grew out on the plain outside the city.
There are at least thirty Thousand Man Squads practicing the martial skill.
One of the elephant soldier phalanxes turned out to be thousands of huge elephants lining up to charge.
A crossbow is installed on the back of almost every huge elephant.
Maybe the number of Scorpions is not enough, more than half of the huge elephants only carry a common ballista.
"Demon Dragon, Demon Dragon is coming!" Soon, someone found the Black Dragon hovering high in the sky.
"wu wu wu ——" the horn blew, and the ten-kilometer-long camp exploded.
The infantry raised shields to protect the bowmen all around, and the ballistas lifted the tarpaulins and arranged them in a circular array to protect the soldiers.
"Nigga—" Big Black flew over the giant elephants, and Dragon's Might was full of displays, domineering and unscrupulous.
"ang, Ang, Ang -" The elephants really made a commotion, stepping on their hooves, raising their noses, flapping their big ears, and making a loud scream like a whistle.
But although the elephants walked back and forth, they were basically under the control of the elephant soldier and did not run around randomly.
——Listen to Windblown people, the elephant soldier is from Jade Sea Isle of Elephants, do they have special control skills? Or is it too far away and Dragon's Might is too bad?
Several thoughts came to Dany's mind.
But she didn't dare to go down to verify that the crossbow machine on the elephant's back was already wound and aimed at the sky.
"Impossible!"
Dany was amazed by the elephants' reaction, and a Maiden in the yurt under Mantarys was even more shocked.
Waterfall-like hair falls down her hips, and a dragon shape red crystal hairpin fastens the long bangs behind her head, revealing a full and smooth forehead.
The nose is upturned, the five senses are exquisite, and the deep blue eyes beyond the age.
And the golden priest robe.
The back of the robe is imprinted with a volcano burning with thick smoke, and a dragon with a sword in its claws hovers on the top of the mountain.
——The House Balerion family crest of the head of the Fourteen Flames.
This Maiden looking up at the sky with a shocked face is Jaen Belaerys, the Oros High Priest who was once possessed by Evil God!
In the last battle, it had exploded into tens of millions of Wyrms, but it still survived.
And, instead of dying, she came to Mantarys and got involved with the Allies.
“Black Dragon is at least 500 meters away from the ground, why can it still affect the huge elephant soaked in dragon blood?” A brawny man, a “two-headed demon” beside Jaen, said with facial expression grave.
He is in his early thirties, nearly two meters tall, with silver shawl fluffy hair and light purple eyes. He looks and dresses a bit like Brad Pitt in the "Troy" stills.
However, he has two heads, one of which shrinks into a thick layer of pale skin, which is attached to the man's left shoulder and neck.
"Half God, Black Dragon has the breath of Half God." Jaen said harshly.
