Chapter 926: Astapo

The latest website: However, when King's Landing is holding a tournament, the distant world is on the other side.

Daenerys's army is continuing to advance towards the depths of Essos, but Daenerys herself flew to Slaver's Bay on a white dragon Viserion.

Because she wanted to buy some Unsullied soldiers, and tried to use diplomatic means to persuade Slaver Bay to join the Valyrian Empire's camp, and jointly expel and resist some gods in Essos.

However, on the soil of this Gugis Empire, for the rise of the Valyrian Empire, the good lords and great lords of Slaver Bay actually have feelings of fear and resistance.

Because of the ancestors of Slaver's Bay, the Gugis Empire was once one of the world's hegemons, yet their glorious past was shattered in the rise of Valyrian Freehold.

The dragon kings rode the giant dragon and went through several wars, and finally defeated the Gugis Empire, so that the people on this soil have never been unified since then, and they have been divided into several city-states large and small.

The main cities are Yunkai, Meereen, and Astapor, of which Meereen is the largest city-state, Astapor is the second, and Yunkai is the smallest.

The belief in Slave Bay is based on the symbol of the Gugis Empire, mainly the harpy, which is a legendary female monster.

She has the torso of a woman, but instead of the arms, she has bat wings, and she also has the legs of an eagle and the curled poisonous tail of a scorpion.

But also in addition to the harpies, Slave Bay also hides some other beliefs, such as the pale holy boy Bakaron, and the eunuch's exclusive god, the spear lady.

Her real name is not known to outsiders, it belongs only to those whose male roots are burned to ashes on the altar, not even the Unsullied will talk about her lightly, and she has many other names, including the Lady of the Spear, the Bride of War, and the Mistress of the Army .

In addition to these local gods in Slaver Bay, of course, they can't escape and spread all over the Essos continent. From the west coast, they can even reach Assia at the end of the world, the red **** R'hllor, the head of the gods.

However, the local gods of Slaver's Bay, except for the Pale Holy Child, the harpy and the lady of the spear, do not seem to be involved in the war between the gods of the two continents.

Daenerys rode the white dragon Viserion and came to Astapor first, because in addition to persuading the city-states of Slaver Bay to boycott R'hllor, she also wanted to buy some Unsullied soldiers. .

The mistress of the distant Western Empire suddenly descended on Astapor, and the rulers of the city-state who called themselves the "Good Lord" rushed out to greet her.

Although the Valyrian Empire is thousands of miles away from Slaver's Bay, the prestige of the Empire is now at its peak. Who doesn't know that the Valyrian Empire is now the overlord of the world?

And they have just easily captured Volantis, and the power is expanding wildly in an unstoppable manner on the continent of Essos.

The dragon suddenly flew above his head. Although there was only one woman, the good masters of Astapor were still a little panicked, and in the end they had to bite the bullet and greet him.

"His Majesty."

"Welcome to the great Astapor."

"Brick and blood made Astapor, and brick and blood made her people."

After some deliberation, a bald man wearing a yellow robe walked out.

He glanced at the gigantic dragon lying on the ground covering the sky with its head above its head, and then he stepped forward, bowed his body and lowered his head to hold the little queen's hand, and touched it lightly with the tip of his nose before opening his mouth. road.

He was wearing the long, loose and drab cloth sheet worn by the wealthy in the city-state of Gughis, called the toka robe. Under the armpits and around the shoulders.

"I don't know what you mean by visiting Astapor in a big way?"

Astapor is a city in Slaver's Bay, located at the mouth of the Worm River, where Valyria destroyed the Gugis Empire, and Astapor is a surviving Gugis colony.

It was conquered by the Valyrians and built as a center for the slave trade, and now the Giscari language is largely forgotten by the people here, who also speak a dialect of Valyrian.

And Astapor has a world-famous special commodity, that is, the Unsullied. Daenerys first came to Astapor on this trip for the Unsullied.

However, the good master then learned of the little queen's intentions, and was obviously slightly relieved.

"certainly!"

"Welcome to the Unsullied again, we all know they are the best fighters in the world."

Viserys once sent Illyrio, carrying a large amount of wealth snatched from the wealthy merchants and governors of Pantos, and brought a fleet to Astapor with a fleet of thousands of miles, and took away five thousand people. Soldier of the Unsullied.

And these 5,000 Unsullied soldiers became an important fighting force in the Targaryen family camp, which directly laid the road to Viserys' rise.

Even now, the Unsullied Legion is a detached and independent army in the imperial legion system. They are dedicated to serving as the royal guard, guarding the travel and safety of the royal palaces and royal family members in various places.

The glorious record of the Unsullied Legion in the Valyrian Empire also directly brushed a wave of powerful advertisements for Astapor, and then Astapor's good lords became more and more customers from all over the world. .

"His Majesty."

"Please!"

Then the good masters led the way and led Daenerys towards the city.

The main building in this Gulf city-state is the Step Pyramid. There are various pyramids all over the city, the highest being four hundred feet tall.

The Astapor people also planted a variety of trees, vines and flowers on the pyramids, and at dusk, the Lord of Good will light silk lanterns of various colors.

Yachts cruise in the Worm River, all streets are made of red brick, pyramids, arenas dug deep into the ground with gradually descending seats in circles, sulphurous fountain pools, dark liquor stores and ancient walls around the city.

The air was full of tiny red dust, and when the breeze blew, the dust flew along the gutter.

Pride Square.

Here is an open market where slave owners take their customers to watch their slaves, and in the center of the square is a red brick fountain with a bronze statue of the Harpy of Astapor.

"The Unsullied have been standing here for a day. They don't eat or drink, but they will never fall or resist."

"That's obedience."

The benefactors accompanied the little queen Daenerys and continued to introduce them.

And the Valyrian woman with long silver-blond hair in braids, she was alone in a foreign city-state, but she was not afraid.

She was dressed in a gorgeous robe of black velvet, and her delicate face contained nobility and majesty, which made Astapor's benevolent masters obey.

"How many do they have in all?"

Then Daenerys looked at the unsullied soldiers in front of her, raised her delicate chin slightly, and said in a calm voice.

"Eight thousand people, Your Majesty."

The bald good master in yellow toka robes hurriedly spoke.

"I want it all."
