Chapter 515
If Qarth is the gate connecting the East and West worlds, then New Ghis is the front yard of the Western world to the East Jade Sea.
In terms of geographical location, New Ghis is a bit worse than Qarth, but as a strategic location for blocking trade between the East and the West, there is not much difference between the two.
When New Ghis and its nearby Sea Territory fell into war, east-west trade became no longer safe, and the sea trade, which had already fallen into the Great Depression due to the rise of the Dragon Queen, suffered another setback.
In desperation, countless maritime merchants in the western continent of Essos began to save themselves.
Like a kindergarten turned into a barbecue restaurant under the epidemic, the sea merchants in this world have turned into grain merchants, the handicraftsmen have become farmers, and the cotton and linen, oil, sugar, tobacco leaves, medicine ingredients, etc. in the fields The cash crops were changed to wheat, soybean, corn and other grain crops.
Actually, this change started long ago -- even before Dragon Queen came up with "food treasure."
Because the slave trade is an extremely important part of the big maritime trade, and now the largest slave trade market has collapsed, the sea trade will of course suffer a heavy setback.
In addition, the city-states such as Qarth, New Ghis, Volantis, etc., are also the most important links in the maritime trade, but now they are all at war with Slaver's Bay.
Well, digressed, the impact of the Battle of New Ghis on sea trade is continuing to spread, and the war has just begun!
On the second day, Garth's fleet took prisoners to Old Ghis, the same day the Dragon Queen raided New Ghis.
New Ghis was attacked for the first time. The loss was not large, but the impact was far-reaching. The world's maritime merchants were terrified, and they dared not approach the New Ghis port again.
On the third day, the Old Ghis pier was roughly rebuilt. On the same day, Dragon Queen and Black Dragon stayed at Old Ghis. Only Wildfire General accompanied Green Dragon, White Dragon and Golden Dragon to attack New Ghis.
In one day, two consecutive waves of kerosene bombs attacked New Ghis people were alarmed.
On the fourth day, fleet from "New York Village" at the southern end of Maiden of Freedom Isle arrived at Old Ghis, bringing food and production materials.
On the same day, Dragon Queen and Black Dragon stayed behind in Old Ghis, only Wildfire General, Green Dragon, White Dragon and Golden Dragon attacked New Ghis.
Only twice a day, New Ghis gave up on rebuilding the pier, and New Ghis citizens began to flee in large numbers into Ghaen next door.
On the fifth day, the first bungalow built with Great Pyramid boulders and wood was built, and the Dragon Queen moved in. It was still Wildfire General who accompanied the three dragons of green, white and gold to raid New Ghis.
On the sixth day, it was business as usual on the Dragon Queen's side, and even began to organize people to reclaim the wasteland covered by green plants.
At this point, Allied spies finally crossed the Ghiscari Strait, took a detour from the east, and secretly infiltrated Old Ghis...5 kilometers away.
Well, in the distance, I use my glasses to observe secretly.
In this way, in the past three days, the Allies gradually discovered the pattern. Dragon Queen did not participate in the bombing attack on New Ghis, and her Black Dragon had been sleeping on a small hill.
Then, the Yunkai War God himself wrote to Baani, the 'Two-Headed King' of the Mantarys: "The Dragon Queen is very clever, and her purpose is not to occupy New Ghis, but to destroy the material operation center of the Allied forces."
It's like she won Tolos, but didn't occupy Tolos.
Because she understands that no matter how many city-states you occupy at this time, it will only spread her power.
Let the Allies lose good logistical supply and have a chance to win this war.
So, we can't follow her pace, we have to disrupt her pace.
Or, ask His Royal Highness Baani to lead the Wyvern group to guard New Ghis, protect New Ghis, and ambush the incoming dragon.
Or, while Dragon Queen is out, sneak attack Slaver's Bay various cities and let her backyard everywhere Fire and powerless to attack New Ghis."
Well, Baani is Prince of Mantarys, nicknamed "Double Headed Demon King".
Actually, the two-headed demon was moved as early as the first time he received the suggestion from New Ghis to "give Dragon Queen a blood revenge and steal her hometown".
But Tolos lost too much in the First World War. Thirty Wyverns, except himself, were wiped out.
Think about it, if Mantarys still has a Wyrmrider group ready, why not go to Tolos together that day?
Stay strong while raiding the Dragon Queen?
This is not funny!
To put it bluntly, Grazdan's suggestion is very good, and Baani and Jaen also agree with it, but there are no dragons on the Mantarys side.
Well, there are no dragons for now.
—Like New Ghis, Dany didn't know Mantarys was out of Wyvern.
New Ghis thinks that Baani has dragons because Jaen deceives them in order to appease people.
Dany thought that Baani had dragons because under the interrogation of "Dugu Whip", none of the prisoners could resist, but the confessions they recruited were the same: the same trainees who participated in the Dragonrider training together , about a hundred people, after completing the training, each group of ten people will enter the dragon training bases around the Sea of Sighs separately.
Because of separate training, the captured people did not know that oneself had a dragon, and the remaining 70% of their companions did not get Wyvern.
This led to Dany's misjudgment, thinking that the other party still had seven training bases, but he didn't complete the training and didn't come together last time.
In a way, her guess was not wrong.
Baani did not directly reject New Ghis that day, but replied: Wait a minute, maybe Daenerys is cheating, the target is not New Ghis at all, but to ambush the remaining Wyvern.
Then, when New Ghis sent spies to find out the Dragon Queen's movements and to prepare for the sneak attack, Baani took the Dragon Horn named "Dragonslayer" again, went to Rainwood on Sothoryos continent, and went to Rainwood on Sothoryos continent. Take control of 40 Wyverns again.
Dragonslayer surpasses "Dragonbinder" and is Valyria's most powerful Dragon Horn, but it cannot control dragons infinitely.
Especially Baani has limited power (too far away, Jaen has limited power transmitted to him).
The 30 Wyverns were the upper limit last time. This time, 40 Wyverns can be controlled. It is not the strength of Baani, nor the upgrade of Dragon Horn.
The main reason is that the forty dragons this time are younger and smaller than the last.
The second time I received a letter of help from Yunkai's War God, Baani responded immediately: closely observe the trail of Black Dragon.
On the tenth day after the Battle of the Gulf of Grief, High Sparrow sent a letter to Dragonstone: the new statue of The Seven has been completed, I hope Dragon Queen will also consider using the new statue and teachings in Slaver's Bay .
——The Seven, the seven gods all have a Black Dragon mount; the Great Protector of Light is the guardian of The Seven, equivalent to the secular world, King's Kingsguard.
On the 11th day, High Sparrow held a grand mass ceremony, more than 200,000 worshippers gathered in and around King's Landing.
Standing on the Scripture Lecture Hall, High Sparrow announced: Long Night nears, the prophecy of The Seven (the one that Dany made for High Sparrow) will be fulfilled, and on this occasion, the Great Protector of Light will Take on more important responsibilities.
He is the Guard of The Seven, my good helper, he and I, together with all our lambs of The Seven, under the guidance of The Seven, destroy Others and end Long Night.
On this day, Big Black is once again sublimated.
On this day, Dany was ecstatic and tangled.
Rejoiced because her goal was achieved, and things were as previously conjectured. Under the 'edict' of Holy Son, High Sparrow, Big Black successfully usurped the authority of The Seven.
But Big Black has a limited ability to end, and gets a title, but it doesn't match.
He couldn't swallow a whale and swallow the seven priesthoods of The Seven in one bite. With his current ability, he could only choose one at most.
So, Dany is very tangled.
Father, Mother, Maiden, Smith, Warrior, Stranger, Crone.
Who should she choose and who should she choose to be?
Without Ghoyan Drohe's Valyrian Steel statue, Dany would be hesitant between Warrior and Stranger.
But now...
She seems to have seven options, but she can only bet on "Smith".
It was also on this day that Big Black became "Smith".
In an instant, countless Belief Lines crossed Belief Pond and directly connected with him.
All Faith of the Seven are believers of Big Black!
The usurpation succeeded one-seventh.
It can be said that from this day on, Big Black and Balerion, Black Goat, Lust|Goddess and many other old Half God and Evil God have become the existence of the same realm - maybe the power is different.
Then, on Twelfth days after the Battle of Gulf of Grief, a Wyvern circled along the Valyrian Peninsula, avoiding the sight of the Dragon Queen, sneaking into Ghaen, taking advantage of the night cover, and heading north to Old Ghis.
30 kilometers east of Old Ghis, Wyvern landed, leaving behind a Wyrmrider who believed in Balerion and had pure blood of noble Fourteen Flames.
Wyrmrider rendezvous with spies from New Ghis, sneak two kilometers away from Old Ghis, hide in the bushes, and use a telescope to observe the town in the distance.
On the thirteenth day, in the early morning, Wyrmrider prayed to Balerion, recited the scriptures very devoutly, and repeated a strong thought in his mind countless times: Black Dragon laying on the ruins of the Great Pyramid to bask in the sun and sleep. .
1,500 kilometers away, Balerion heard the believers' voices through secret techniques:...
Uh, I can't hear anything.
Unless blood sacrifice, or the prayer is the Holy Son with the highest Belief Unit, such as High Sparrow.
Otherwise, believers would not be able to contact Spiritual God in any way, separated by more than a thousand kilometers.
Not to mention Balerion, even Lord of Light R'hllor, this world suppresses the power of transcendent so strongly.
Big Black has become "The Seven", and can only listen to the prayers in the hearts of the devout through the statues of "Smith" and "Great Protector" in Great Sept - must be pious enough, otherwise it will not be able to touch the hearts of the devout. Belief Line connected to Big Black.
It also consumes a lot of belief strength, which is very uneconomical, and other Half Gods will not do that at all.
Last time in Tolos, Wyrmrider was able to "live in" with Baani because of the proximity to Baani.
And Baani, like Jaen, has also become a part of Balerion's future, and being close to Baani is equivalent to being by Balerion's side.
Well, future.
The Baani bloodline is noble, and upon death, Soul is integrated into the "Balerion Family".
But that doesn't mean that Wyrmrider's prayers are useless, Balerion can't hear the hearts of believers, but he can sense some of his emotions - happy, on behalf of Black Dragon at Old Ghis; worry, Not with Black Dragon.
Well, last time in Tolos, the sneak attack failed...and almost the entire army was annihilated. Jaen and Baani also began to align with the Yunkai War God, always worried that they would be attacked by the cunning again. Dragon Queen's trap.
Now, Baani is sure that both Black Dragon and Dragon Queen are at Old Ghis.
Slaver's Bay is unguarded, they can safely steal Dragon Queen's hometown and give her a bloody retribution!
Baani waved his hand and roared furiously at the dragon group behind him: "Set off, go to Meereen, take down the labor camp, liberate the 100,000 people of Ghis, and overthrow the rule of the Mother of Demon Dragons in Meereen."

"Whoosh-"
Forty Wyverns, flapping their wings, jumped up from the waist-deep prairie and flew towards the city of Meereen in the south.
