At this time, Daenerys had also dismounted and walked slowly. Seeing Drogon flying back and landing on her shoulder, she felt her tired body regain a little strength. She couldn't help but think in her heart that she was becoming more and more dependent on Drogon.
With Drogon by her side she not only felt safer, but also more confident and spirited.
After resting for a while on the mountain road, they were about to move on. Lakharo came to Daenerys with a slightly unhappy expression and reported that there seemed to be some problems on the road ahead.
Dothraki Howling Warriors are natural scouts. Since the emergence of Barristan, the Queen's Iron Guard, Daenerys no longer has the Bloodriders protect her all the time. Instead, she lets them serve as scouts and lead her little Khalasar at the same time.
Karasa is equivalent to a grassland tribe, and Kou is the leader of the small and medium-sized ethnic groups in Karasa.
Led by Rakharo over a small hill, Daenerys and Drogon saw the little girl nailed to the cross on the roadside ahead at the same time.
The little girl was not nailed to the cross in the shape of a cross, but was made into the shape of a road sign with her right hand nailed to her chest. Although Drogon had seen this scene before, the feeling was very different when he saw it in person.
Judging from the expression on the little girl's face and the blood flow in her body, she was definitely not nailed there after death.
When they first saw such a cruel scene, Daenerys and Missandei could not help but cover their mouths. They couldn't believe that someone would treat a little girl like this.
"There is a girl signpost like this every half mile, and it may extend all the way to Meereen." Although the Dothraki are known for their brutality and indifference to life and death, they would not treat a little girl so cruelly, not to mention that there are dozens of such signposts ahead.
"Your Majesty, I asked someone to untie the girl from it in advance so that you wouldn't feel uncomfortable watching her." Jorah said, looking at Daenerys's ugly expression.
"Don't take it off in advance. It won't be too late until I see each of their faces clearly. If I don't see them clearly, I'm afraid I will forget their pain." Looking at the little girl's distorted face of torture, Daenerys's face was gloomy, her eyes full of murderous intent.
[They all deserve to die!] As a modern soul, Drogon was filled with anger. He didn't know if he would be unable to resist flying to Meereen and burning all the slave owners before he finished reading the signposts.
As they got closer to Meereen, Daenerys and her companions' faces became increasingly gloomy. They had already seen a hundred signposts but had not yet reached Meereen.
Although she was told to read all the road signs, Daenerys forced herself to read a hundred of them and was almost exhausted. She felt like a fire was burning in her chest but she had nowhere to go.
Drogon could no longer bear to watch, so he flew to the grassland and waited until the time was right before returning to the army. At this time, they were less than two kilometers away from Meereen.
The city of Meereen was built on a huge hill. From afar, you could see more than a dozen tall pyramids in the city. The tallest one was two hundred meters high, and there was a huge harpy statue on the top of the tower.
The slave owners of the three cities in Slave Bay believe that they are all sons of the harpy and like to build pyramids, perhaps in order to demonstrate their superior status.
After looking at all 113 signposts, Daenerys's face was already gloomy, and she commanded the army to form a square formation and assemble under the gate of Meereen.
The city gate tower was filled with Meereenese slave owners who were dressed in luxurious clothes and called themselves great lords. The walls on both sides were filled with slaves. They had already received the news that Daenerys was coming to Meereen, and now they gathered on the city gate tower to watch Daenerys and her men gather.
The great lord wearing gorgeous clothes and pointing with a smile on his face on the city gate tower formed a sharp contrast with the miserable experience of the little girl on the road sign.
Just as the team had assembled, the gate of Meereen opened a crack, and a knight wearing armor and riding a red horse, holding a spear, came out of the gate, leaving Daenerys's side very puzzled.
The knight came to the city gate, took off his pants and urinated, and said a few words in what should be Gisl.
Seeing the knights' performance, a burst of laughter came from the city gate tower.
"He is mocking the Unsullied and challenging us," Missandei translated.
Daenerys narrowed her eyes slightly and was about to ask her subordinates who was willing to fight, when Daario took two steps forward and said, "My queen, please let me fight for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jorah and Grey Worm also came out of the team and asked to go into battle. Daenerys thought for a moment and nodded to Daario, then said to the person behind her: "Bring Daario's horse here."
"We don't need horses to deal with him." Daario shook his head confidently. Daenerys looked at him with a little worry and stopped calling for help.
Seeing Daario walk out of the formation, the Meereenese knight waved the reins and the red horse under him stepped on the front hooves to rush towards Daario. Seeing the knight getting closer and closer with a spear in hand, Daario stood there without even taking out his weapon. Daenerys, Jorah and others couldn't help but look a little nervous.
It was not until the red horse was less than twenty meters away from Dario that he calmly drew the arak from his waist and held it in his hand.
The distance of twenty meters was reached in the blink of an eye. The knight on horseback had already stretched out his spear and stabbed it at Dario. Dario saw the direction of the spear and easily dodged it by leaning sideways. He stretched out his right hand and used the sharp scimitar to cut off the horse's front hoof.
The red horse let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust. The knight on it also fell down. Dario walked to the knight who was about to get up, swung the arakh, and a head flew into the sky.
He put away his scimitar, walked forward a few steps, took off his pants and pointed at the city gate tower.
Dario's clean and neat killing method caused the great master on the city wall to exclaim in surprise.
[What a show-off!] Drogon commented in his mind while watching Daario perform.
Daenerys was already accustomed to Drogon's new words. Seeing that Daario had won face for her, Daenerys smiled and nodded at him, and Daario bowed very gracefully.
When Daario returned to the line, Daenerys glanced at the great lords and slaves and shouted, "I am Daenerys Targaryen, Stormborn... Mother of Dragons. I have just freed the slaves of Astapor and Yunkai and cut off their slave collars. Now I have come to Meereen and I will cut off your collars and set you free."
"On my way to Meereen, I saw a signpost made of 113 slave children. I think there must be your children or sisters among them. When I liberate Meereen, the Great Lord will be made into a signpost!"
After Daenerys finished speaking, she waved to the army formation, and a dozen catapults were pushed to the front of the formation. The great lord did not expect that Daenerys was going to attack the city now, so he stood up in a hurry and ran to the city wall. For a moment, people were crowded and in chaos.
Just as they were crowded together, a whistling sound passed over their heads and a bang hit the open space inside the city wall. The wooden barrels shattered and the cut slave collars of different sizes and colors fell out of them.
