Five thousand newly trained soldiers were left behind to assist in defending the city, and the rest were sent out, including the fleet of Yara from the Iron Islands, which also followed in the attack.
The next day, just as Daenerys's men were preparing to attack the city of Ghis, the guards suddenly reported that envoys from the new and old cities of Ghis had arrived.
Daenerys did not expect that the leaders of the new and old Ghis would send people to come at this time to summon the royal ministers to prepare to welcome them.
Although the two sides are about to go to war, the necessary etiquette cannot be omitted, and Slave Bay already has a hint of royal style.
All the ministers had arrived. Daenerys had just announced the entry of the new and old envoys from Ghis when two envoys in their forties dressed as nobles hurriedly trotted in.
After entering, they knelt before Daenerys and said almost in unison: "Your Majesty! The new and old cities of Ghis are willing to surrender. Please do not send troops to attack again."
As soon as the envoy opened his mouth, Daenerys and her ministers were immediately surprised.
[Now you are obedient! ]
Looking at the two new and old Ghis envoys who didn't dare to raise their heads after speaking, Drogon didn't expect that they would arrive in Meereen so soon. The city of Ghis is quite a distance away from Meereen.
Before Daenerys could figure out why the new and old Ghis chose to surrender at this time, she suddenly heard the words from Drogon.
She immediately understood what was going on. Yesterday, when she decided to attack Ghis, she thought Drogon would assist her in the siege.
She didn't expect that Drogon had already attacked Ghis without her knowledge.
Judging from the two envoys' terrified looks, Drogon must have done great damage to Ghis, otherwise he would not have frightened the envoys like this.
Daenerys didn't know that in addition to the destruction and deterrence that Drogon brought to Ghis, they were shocked again when they arrived in Meereen and saw the army about to set out.
I thought Daenerys was not satisfied with the damage caused by the black dragon to Ghis and continued to send troops to attack.
"Tell me the terms of your surrender!"
Just when Tyrion and others didn't understand why the new and old Ghis chose to surrender at this time, Daenerys suddenly said.
"We are willing to submit completely to Her Majesty the Queen, become a vassal city of Slaver Bay, and offer huge amounts of wealth every year in exchange for your forgiveness!"
As they spoke, the two of them handed over a piece of exquisite parchment, on which was the list of annual donations.
Barristan took the two parchments, checked them and found nothing wrong with them before handing them to Daenerys.
When Daenerys saw the contents of the paper, she was secretly surprised. The amount of property inside was almost twice what they had expected.
Daenerys calmly put down the parchment in her hand and said to the envoy who was still kneeling on the ground: "I still need to discuss your request with the ministers. You can rest in the inn for the time being. I will summon you to see me again after a decision is made."
"Your Majesty, if you are not satisfied with the above property, we can double it!"
After hearing what Daenerys said, the two envoys not only did not dare to stand up, but also said something that surprised Daenerys and the ministers.
Although Tyrion and the others did not know the list of treasures on the parchment, seeing the terrified looks on the two envoys' faces, they could imagine that the list must be very rich.
However, they doubled the share on the original list just because Daenerys said that it needed to be discussed, which surprised Daenerys' ministers even more.
Everyone was guessing what had happened between the old and new Ghis that they didn't know about, which caused the leader of Ghis, who was originally unwilling to surrender, to not only change his decision but also be willing to double the tribute.
Although she was a little surprised by the envoy's words, Daenerys would not immediately agree to Ghis's surrender conditions until she had a clear understanding of Ghis's situation.
Seeing that even after doubling the tribute, Daenerys still did not agree to her request for surrender, the two envoys could only leave with sad faces and wait to be summoned again after a few days.
After the envoy left, Daenerys handed the list of property on parchment to Tyrion and others.
He ordered Jorah, "Ser Jorah, immediately send someone to New and Old Ghis to inquire about the situation there and report to me as soon as possible. When the scouts come back, we can discuss the terms of Ghis's surrender."
After Tyrion and his companions read the list of treasures, they realized how generous the treasures given by the nobles of Ghis were.
After Daenerys finished speaking, she looked intentionally or unintentionally at the petite Drogon who was squatting on her shoulder, like a work of art yet still majestic. She wondered how he had taught the Gith people a lesson and made them so scared.
Two days later, the scout came back and reported to Daenerys about Drogon's burning of New and Old Ghis three days ago.
Daenerys was surprised and frightened at the same time after hearing this. She didn't expect that the new and old Ghis actually had crossbows to deal with dragons. No wonder they dared to fight against her repeatedly and attack Yunkai and Astapor.
And Drogon almost burned down the walls of Ghis with the help of ballistae, burning the guards to death.
She knew that Drogon had become even more powerful after his transformation, but she didn't expect that he could withstand the attack of the ballista.
What she was really afraid of was what would happen when Rhaegal and Viserion faced the ballista.
Drogon has always been stronger than Rhaegal and his men. Daenerys has known this for a long time. The last time she rode Rhaegal across the river, she realized even more clearly the huge gap between them and Drogon.
This time she had planned to bring Rhaegal and the others to assist in the attack on Ghis. If they did so, and were suddenly attacked by a crossbow without their knowledge, Daenerys would find it hard to believe that they could escape safely.
As for resisting head-on like Drogon did, it is even more impossible.
"Ser Jorah, bring the envoy of Ghis to the hall!" Daenerys was filled with rage when she thought about how Rhaegal and his men almost suffered a surprise attack from a crossbow.
Jorah sent for an envoy, and Daenerys began to discuss the terms of Ghis's surrender with her ministers.
When everyone saw Drogon burning down the new and old walls of Ghis and their three largest pyramids despite the crossbow arrows, they understood why the envoy of Ghis was so scared that day.
The crossbow can be said to be a weapon specially used to deal with dragons. Drogon is not even afraid of the crossbow. It can be said that they have no way to deal with Drogon at all.
There is no need for Daenerys to send out the army, Drogon alone can destroy the new and old cities of Ghis.
Tyrion and the others did not expect that after Drogon's transformation, he could even withstand a crossbow. Such a dragon has never appeared in the history of dragons.
Thinking of Drogon's power, they couldn't help but shift their gaze to Drogon, who was majestic even in his juvenile state on Daenerys' shoulder.
Drogon is not only the most defensive being in the history of dragons, they have never heard of a giant four-legged dragon before, let alone one that can change size.
Everyone felt it was incredible when they imagined the power of Drogon, the queen's strongest force, when he was conquering cities.
"Not only did the old and new Ghis participate in many harpy attacks, they also rashly attacked Yunkai and Astapor and used ballistas against Drogon. We cannot easily agree to their terms of surrender."
Before the discussion began, Daenerys set the direction of the meeting.
Everyone immediately understood what the queen meant. The first two of Gis's crimes were nothing to worry about, but the last one was the source of Gis's evil.
