Chapter 334: Yunkai
Flying banners bear the image of a harpy, but unlike Astapor, Yunkai\'s harpies hold whips and iron collars in their talons instead of chains.
In addition to the Harpy Banner, there are two other banners in the army ahead, one with four crows embedded in intersecting lightning, and the other with a broken sword.
"These are the Stormcrows and the Second Sons." Ser Jorah Mormont explained, "Both are well-known mercenary groups in the continent of Essos, with a number of about five hundred people."
The city-states of the Essos continent like to find mercenary groups to help them fight, so the appearance of the Stormcrows and the Second Sons is not surprising.
"Mercenaries are no match for the Unsullied." Daenerys is confident about this. "How is the strength of Yunkai\'s army?"
"Neither can the Unsullied be compared," Jorah said. "Yunkai is famous for training bed-slaves. Their slaves are proficient in the seven art of spring cry and sixteen pleasure positions. As for sword and spear, Not very proficient."
Daenerys became more confident when she heard this: "So, we can defeat Yunkai\'s army?"
"With the armies of the Unsullied, Yunkai will be at your feet," Jorah replied.
"But blood is needed," Ser Barristan cautioned.
Daenerys nodded slowly, victory always requires a price, of course she understands this.
While speaking, a small group of cavalry came out from the opposite position.
"It should be a messenger sent by the Yunkai\'i." Jorah guessed.
"Let\'s go, let\'s talk to them. Maybe conquering this city doesn\'t necessarily require much bloodshed."
Daenerys turned her horse back to camp.
Yunkai\'s embassy arrived not long after.
There were about fifty riders in their party, led by a tall white camel.
The one on the camel was the envoy sent by Yunkai, named Grazdan.
"The walls of Yunkai are strong and strong, our nobles are proud and brave, our people are strong and fearless." Grazdan declared arrogantly, "Our blood is inherited from the ancient empire of Ghis. In your Valerie When the Asians were still wandering on the grasslands, the Gughis Empire had already ruled the world. Your Majesty the Queen, your road to conquest should not pass through this place."
As he spoke, he clapped his hands as a signal, and the two attendants brought up a heavy wooden box and placed it in front of Daenerys.
"Fifty thousand gold coins." Grazdan said proudly, "It represents the friendship of the wise lords of Yunkai. I hope you can accept it, and then return to Westeros to reclaim your father\'s Iron Throne."
Daenerys pushed open the lid of the box with her little feet in sandals, and as the envoy said, it was full of gold coins.
She grabbed a handful and let them slide from her fingers, bright and shining.
"It\'s very beautiful. I don\'t know how many boxes like this I can find after I capture your city."
"Not one." Grazdan laughed, "Because you will never be able to."
Daenerys closed the box with her foot, and said coldly;
"Bring back my words to the good lords, who have three days to free all the slaves in Yunkai, and allow them to choose freely from their master\'s property as reward for years of service. When the slaves are gone, my The Unsullied will enter the gates and search your cities to ensure that no one continues to be enslaved.
Yunkai will save blood and fire if you do as you please. "
"Are you crazy?" Grazdan said.
"Crazy indeed." A mercenary with the coat of arms of the Stormcrows tattooed on his chest laughed and said, "Women should lie on the bed obediently, instead of trying to provoke men on the battlefield."
"If you can please everyone in my regiment, maybe I will consider changing the flag and fighting for the Mother of Dragons." Another mercenary representative laughed.
"I remember seeing a woman who claimed to be the Mother of Dragons in the Tech Academy in Braavos, or is that you?" Another said.
…
Facing the foul language of the mercenaries, Daenerys ordered in a low voice:
"Dracarys!"
The three dragons responded immediately, hissing and screaming, and breathing out swirling red and black flames.
The mercenaries ran away in fright. Grazdan couldn\'t dodge in time, and was set on fire by the hem of Tokar\'s robe, and his clothes instantly caught fire.
He swore loudly and slapped his arms, but Ser Barristan poured a bucket of water over, extinguishing the flames.
"Woman! Do you understand the rules? You actually hurt the envoy!"
Daenerys stopped the restless dragon and said:
"It\'s just one piece of clothing you burned. I can buy you a new one. As long as you are willing to send out the slaves in three days, otherwise, next time my dragon will burn more than your clothes."
"You will pay for your arrogance!" Grazdan said angrily, "These little lizards can\'t keep you! I promise, if they dare to approach Yunkai, they will be shot down by the sky! Slaying dragons is not that difficult! We The Ghisians did it thousands of years ago!"
"Thousands of years ago, the Ghisians were wiped out by Valyrian dragons." Daenerys sneered, "Go away, you only have three days."
After the Yunkai mission left, night had fallen.
Daenerys is eating, and Ser Jorah\'s income reports:
"Your Majesty, the Unsullied caught a mercenary trying to sneak into the camp."
"Spy?"
"It\'s a leader of the Stormcrows, Dario Naharis. He came with the Yunkai envoy in the afternoon. He claimed that he has a gift for you."
Daenerys thought of the man in the gorgeous yellow robe, and nodded:
"Bring it in."
Soon, Dario was brought in with a heavy black canvas package slung over his shoulder.
"Your Majesty the beautiful queen, I brought you a precious gift!" Daario laughed loudly as soon as he entered the door, "The Stormcrows are yours!"
Daenerys was dubious: "I remember that the Stormcrows had three captains, right? The other two captains agreed to surrender?"
"I brought them here, you can ask them yourself." Dario smiled, turned the package upside down, and poured out the contents.
Impressively, there are two **** heads.
Daenerys was shocked, but she still pretended to be calm and said:
"You killed them?"
"certainly."
"Why?"
"Because you are so beautiful!" Daario stared at Daenerys presumptuously, without hiding his desire, "For you, I would do anything! If you are willing to marry me, then I will give the entire Slave Bay Send it to your face!"
"Little mercenary, speak wild words!" Jorah said disdainfully.
Daenerys said: "I will conquer Slaver\'s Bay by myself. If you want to prove your loyalty, set fire to the Yunkai\'i camp tonight and cooperate with our night attack."
"no problem!"
"Okay, now, swear allegiance to me."
Daario flung himself in front of Daenerys exaggeratedly, sticking his forehead to her toes:
"My sword is yours, my life is yours, my blood, my body, and my songs are all yours. Whether I live or die, I will obey your orders, beautiful queen!"
Daenerys looked at the back of Dario\'s head, listening to his exaggerated words, but Caesar\'s face appeared in her mind.
If only Caesar could obey me like this... She thought silently.
"I accept your allegiance." Daenerys said, "Tonight, fight for me."
"You will see." Dario stood up, bowed, and then turned to leave.
Jorah immediately persuaded: "Your Majesty, this is not a good idea. Since Daario can betray his companions, he can also betray us."
"Mercenaries cannot be trusted." Ser Barristan also said coldly.
"This is an extraordinary time, we cannot demand absolute loyalty." Daenerys said, "As soon as the Yunkai\'i\'s camp is on fire, you will lead the Unsullied to attack."
Jorah wanted to say something more, but Daenerys didn\'t want to hear any more, and waved them off.
