Chapter 596
The little Duzimu of "My father is Faat", in order to help father to get votes in the election of Volantis Triarch, once in Tolos, bravely overcame the obstacles of Unsullied guards, met Dragon Queen, and stated that it was unnecessary to seize the merchant ship .
Dragon Queen humbly accepted his advice and accepted his suggestion: allow the merchants to take the ransom to ransom the ship, and under the guarantee of Faat Duzimu, release some Volantis merchants with prominent backgrounds in advance.
However, Dragon Queen also made a request. The ransom can be done, but she does not need gold. She can use high-level goods such as Valyrian Steel Sword and Magic Rare Item, and can also use food, cloth and other materials as collateral.
It is said that antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times, but in this wonderful world where gold has been accumulating without consumption for more than 10,000 years, gold seems to be useless.
Well, in the Great Heavenly Dynasty, no matter how much gold is mined, it is not enough for dignitaries to be buried with them.
In the battle of Tolos, the Dragon Queen captured thousands of large ships.
The number of merchants and sailors combined exceeds fifty thousand.
Some of these captives were sent to the Maiden of Freedom Isle to build New York, some to Astapor to grow sweet potatoes, and some to the newly opened frontier post, Old Ghis.
After receiving the ransom from New Ghis, Dany also kept his word, received a shipment of cargo, a Valyrian Steel weapon, and immediately released people, ships, and even returned some of the goods— -Specialties of the three cities of Slaver's Bay, sugar, brandy, Dragon Paper, etc.
Especially Dragon Paper, which gradually replaced bronze ware, sugar and liquor, and became the first industry of Slaver's Bay First Fist.
Not to mention the logistics fleets of the Allied forces running the routes of New Ghis and Tolos, even the merchants from various cities in Jade Sea and Summer Sea have begun to sharpen their heads and drill into Astapor.
When Astapor announced that it had entered a state of combat readiness and closed the market, they turned to gradually become "VIP customers" of second-order dealers.
That is, a group of small businessmen headed by Faat Duzimu who served the Ghis coalition and were captured by the Dragon Queen in the Battle of White Poplar Slope.
Well, they were standing in the "dragon farts" and took off.
More than a thousand sea-going ships, tens of thousands of people, laden with cargo, flowed into New Ghis, bringing prosperity to the harbour once bombed by the Wildfire General.
Now they're not afraid of Wildfire General anymore.
Although the Sorrowful Men failed shamefully, allowing Wildfire General and Prince Aegon to narrowly escape, but now New Ghis also has the Wyvern Legion stationed!
A total of 20 Shadow Dragon and Marsh Dragon mixed troops, plus a terrifying crossbow array of 2,000 Scorpions, it is useless for Dragon Queen to come in person.
"There is no doubt that Daenerys has abandoned the Southern Expedition plan, Devil's Tail Hattur's 'General of the Southern Expedition' is a big joke."
Aegon was stabbed with one More than a month later, New Ghis, which had been quiet for nearly two months, held a general meeting again, and Prince Tregar spoke first.
The second ship, Captain Sanady ship, echoed: "According to the information from the spies, Slaver Bay is now a completely defensive strategy: the Wyrmrider is divided into three, a merchant raiding through the Maiden Strait, a One patrols the three cities of Slaver's Bay, and one is stationed at Meereen.
Even Old Ghis, originally thought would be a bridgehead for the attack on New Ghis, but in the end it was only built as a post with hundreds of guards, and even Aerys Celtigar The First Fleet has also withdrawn to New York."
Everyone politely nodded in agreement.
These news are all true, and they even sent people to sneak into the Old Ghis outpost to check it out - really sneaked in, not the last "True Oolong Incident", which was used a few kilometers away. telescope observation.
Old Ghis as a bridgehead has not been greatly expanded, only maintaining the scale of a small fishing village, indicating that Dragon Queen has abandoned the plan to log in directly to New Ghis.
"General Grazdan, what do you think?" Xaro asked.
Everyone turned their eyes full of anticipation and reverence: recently, after several setbacks, the God of War's idea of "building a strong fortress and fighting a dull battle" gradually took root in the hearts of the people.
"Daenerys do not have the energy and time to raid New Ghis." Yunkai said solemnly.
"One hundred thousand Allied cavalry have left Mantarys, and an advance of light cavalry has even entered Bhorash - just six hundred kilometers from Meereen.
It is foreseeable that Meereen attacked and defended War General In three months.
And I and a few cavalry admirals are ready to take the Wyvern tonight for the Blackmountain towns of Tolos, Dothraki Sea and Lhazar.
Three-way army, sea, land, air, river, four modes to besiege Meereen.
Daenerys must spare no effort, no time to waste troops and time in New Ghis.
Not to mention the others, how does she defend New Ghis after taking New Ghis?"
"It makes sense, now New Ghis can sit back and relax."
Xaro nodded first, then sighed regretfully , talking about another thing: "There is news that Aegon and Wildfire General are not dead."
"How come they are not dead? Did the Sorrowful Men miss the target?" Tregar Lost voice.
"No," Xaro shook his head, "both were stabbed, but only Aegon was poisoned, but Daenerys knew the antidote."
"What!" He slammed the table and cursed: "As a large-scale Assassin Organization with thousands of years of inheritance, it doesn't even have an exclusive secret poison. Is it shameful?"
"Don't worry, don't panic, once you have it, there will be a second Now, a large, wave of assassin is on its way to Astapor." The second ship Captain Sanady comforted.
"But after Qarth, does assassin dare to shoot?" Xaro questioned.
"Dragon Queen's revenge has shocked all large assassin organizations. But many assassins are single. For them, the word 'poor' is more terrifying than dragon!
As long as you can afford the money, they even dare to assassinate Death God.
Those outlaws need money, and we happen to have it.
Just find the right way and put the money In the best way, the effect is no worse than dragon." Sanady said with a sneer.
"Reasonable, justified!" Everyone smiled in admiration.
These people played a good abacus, but unfortunately things didn't develop as they thought.
The more facing the crisis, the more determined Dany is to take New Ghis.
The reason is very simple, before the Allies form a siege on Meereen, she has to try to weaken the strength of the surrounding Allies.
She will not only fight the New Ghis in the south, but also the horse men in the Dothraki Sea in the north, the Jade Sea slave catchers in the east along the Lhazar River, and the 100,000-foot Allied forces in the west. .
Don't take advantage of the encirclement and defeat them separately. Could it be that she has a masochistic tendency to walk at the opponent's pace and wait for them to attack them in four dimensions: sea, land, air, and river?
In fact, Dany decided to start the "cargo plan" just a second day after Yunkai's departure.
It is also the "Trojan Horse" of the cargo ship version.
Tyrion wants to save Jyck Young Commander, Dany goes with the flow and Jyck unconsciously becomes her spy; "VIP client" Faat Duzimu's son wants to save the captured sea merchant, Dany beats somebody At their own game, there are two thousand "Mother of Dragons Guards" hidden among the forty or fifty thousand sailors and more than one thousand ships.
New Ghis is about eight kilometers long and two kilometers wide. It is a very narrow island, so the number of piers on the port is limited, and there are few berths for seagoing ships.
As the main logistics hub of the Allied forces, thousands of ships from hundreds of city-states in the world are gathered here.
Fortunately, the big island of Ghaen in the north is like a crab, stretching out two big pincers, protecting the small island of New Ghis in the center, the sea near the harbour is very calm and wide enough for thousands of Thousands of ships hovered in between.
Dany went from Qarth to Slaver's Bay that day, also passed New Ghis, and moored in the outer bay for a while.
At that time, there were only hundreds of sea ships parked in the bay, which shocked her with the development of sea trade in this world.
Today and night, the pitch-black sea reflecting the shimmering moonlight spreads more than ten kilometers, and there are more than 2,000 sea ships.
Under the New Ghis city wall, a low and old tile-roofed house inhabited by the poor.
In the bedroom of the left wing room, two guards in normal gray clothes with chainmail coats, lost their mobility and collapsed at the door.
A man and a woman kneel on the violet Myr rug by the bed.
Daenys holds a small hand crossbow in his right hand, nimbly plays with the Valyrian Steel dagger in his left hand, and says in a thick voice, "Don't worry, your guard is not dead.
But If you are not honest, you will surely die."
She was wearing a black hood at this time, making it difficult to see her face, and her voice changed.
Well, the Dragon Queen asked the little assassin to hide his identity as much as possible.
The fear and doubt in Tregar's eyes were as vivid as the hot sweat on his cheeks, clearly visible in the dim candlelight.
"How did you find this place?" he asked dryly.
This home is simple on the outside and luxurious on the inside. It is his specially prepared residence to escape the Wildfire General bombing.
Similar to the mansion, he has seven or eight other buildings, which are changed almost every day. Although there are very few guards around him, he is better at concealment and safety.
At this time, Dragon Queen's assassin silently touched it.
"Your wife brought me in."
Facing her husband's angry and disbelieving eyes, Lynesse, who had nothing to hide, immediately shook her head and denied: "I didn't, my first Saw him once."
"You're on a shopping spree in New Ghis every day, just follow you and you'll find it here." Daenys lied.
Skinchanger has already figured out the location of every Scorpion formation in the city and the residence of every high-level Allied army, so there is no need to track it down.
Prince Tregar believed without the slightest hesitation, because his wife is such a person.
fiercely glared at the shopaholic prodigal, he helplessly said: "You didn't kill me immediately...what do you want?"
"The Queen needs you my allegiance."
"My... allegiance?" Tregar said with a big mouth, "I am the slave-master!"
"Surrender, or die." Daenys coldly said.
Tregar bowed his head, his eyes twinkling, "I surrender."
"Swear."
Tregar raised his hand to swear to Gods.
Daenys picked up a ribbon from the bed and threw it on the ground, saying, "Tie up your wife."
Lynesse clutched the big white rabbit on her chest and said in horror, "What are you doing? I know you, even if you wear a hood.
You are Kinslayer Tyrion, under the Dragon Queen, you are a dwarf who uses a crossbow, who do you want to hide?
I also know what you want to do to me, but I tell you, my father is..."
"Shut up!" Tregar roared, pulling his wife's arm away, to please Towards "dwarf" said with a smile: "Whatever you want, I'll help you bind."
Lynesse stopped struggling, half pushed, half covered, half shy and half angry.
Tregar skillfully tied his wife in a...
Daenys almost couldn't hold back and yelled in his original voice.
Little assassin left the bed, walked to the small study next to the bedroom, and turned back to the dazed Tregar and called: "Come here!"
"Me?" Tregar pointed at oneself's nose ask.
"Who are you?" Little Assassin shook his crossbow.
"didn't expect you to be such a person..." Lynesse looked at "dwarf" resentfully.
