"No... not so many, just... just one will be enough." Kiko looked at the gold coin handed over by Aka, swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty.
The ideal price in his mind was one Golden Coin, but he didn't expect that Lord Dragon God would ask Aka to give him five. He wanted it too, but he was afraid that after he returned, the people of Karasa would scold him for being greedy, and he might even be driven out of Karasa by Kao.
"Lord Dragon God will not take back what he said. Please accept it!" Aka knew drogon's temper, so he did not ask for drogon's opinion and continued to hand the money to Kike.
Kiko hesitated, looked at Drogon and Daenerys before reaching out to take the gold coin.
Seeing that Kike sold a small conch for five gold coins, not only were the people around him stunned, even Daenerys found it incredible.
Five gold coins are not a small amount. It's not that she feels sorry for the gold coins, but the value of the small conch far exceeds her psychological price.
And from the way Akka took out the purse and asked Drogon about it, it was definitely not the first time that he had paid for Drogon. Daenerys didn't expect that Drogon even had someone who was responsible for managing the money in the Dothraki Sea.
She had seen Drogon putting gold coins into his purse before and thought he just liked the shiny look of the coins, but now she knew he always gave money when he came to the grassland to forage for food.
Looking at the five gold coins, the merchants who had just bargained with Kiko for the conch regretted their decision very much. They also felt that the conch was extraordinary.
But the price of one Jinhui Coin was too expensive, and when they tried blowing the conch, they found that it was not much different from ordinary conchs, so they hesitated and did not buy it.
Unexpectedly, I saw the conch being sold at a high price of five gold coins in the blink of an eye.
Not only did they not make any money, but they also missed the opportunity to make friends with Queen Daenerys. How could they not regret it?
After getting the conch, Drogon studied it for a while but found nothing special about it, so he had to give up for the time being.
After sitting on Daenerys's shoulders and strolling around the Avenue of the Gods, Drogon did not find any items with a special smell. Although he was a little disappointed, he did not force it.
After transforming back to its adult size, it carried Daenerys away from the Dothraki holy city of Vess in front of everyone.
After returning to Meereen, Daenerys called Daario and Yara and ordered them to build a ship as soon as possible or find a way to get a ship from somewhere else.
When they heard the order to build ships, the two were very confused. According to the current number of warships they had, it was enough to carry the army across the Narrow Sea, and there was no need to build new ships. They thought Daenerys had miscalculated the number.
"Your Majesty, we have enough ships for our soldiers to cross the Narrow Sea. We should not need to build more." Dario expressed his doubts.
"It's not enough, because there are still people who need to follow us to Westeros."
"Is there anyone else?" Dario and Yara asked almost in unison.
"You will know when the time comes. Let's build ships as quickly as possible! Build 200 ships first."
Daenerys was not sure how many Dothraki would come to Meereen, but she estimated that there would be about 10,000 or 20,000 Dothraki.
Two hundred ships can carry 20,000 soldiers. Daario and Yara couldn't figure out where Daenerys could get so many people.
Two days later, the soldiers defending the city reported in a panic that nearly 10,000 cavalrymen were approaching the city wall.
Tyrion and others also learned from Daenerys that new troops would join, and they were not panicked after hearing the soldiers' reports.
And from the direction that Drogon carried Daenerys to that day, they also vaguely guessed where the new army might come from.
After confirming that the people coming were indeed Dothraki, Daenerys ordered the soldiers to reopen the city gates and she went out of the city personally to greet them.
The first to arrive was Jaco Kao, and with him came two medium-sized Karasas.
According to Jaco, there will be other Karasas coming behind the three of them. Except for the warriors who stay behind to protect the elderly, the weak, women and children, almost all the others will come. It is estimated that there will be at least 30,000 people in total.
Daenerys did not expect so many people to come, and hurriedly asked Missandei to settle the new Dothraki.
At the same time, let Dario and Yara speed up the construction of the big ship.
A day later, several more Khalasars arrived. Together with Jako and his men, all the Dothraki people together numbered 45,000.
Two days later, just when Daario and his men were worried about the slow shipbuilding, Daenerys suddenly received a total of 300 large ships sent by former slave owners and Ghis nobles from the three cities in the Slave Bay.
Daenerys didn't expect them to be so generous. She even wondered if they wanted her to leave Slaver's Bay as soon as possible, so they contributed so many ships. With these ships, they would be just enough for the expedition.
Once they had enough ships, Tyrion began planning what to do after Daenerys left.
It was originally planned that Lord Daeron would remain in charge of the affairs of Slaver's Bay. He would be stationed in Meereen, with 500 Unsullied and 1,000 new soldiers each stationed in Yunkai and Astapor.
There are 2,000 troops stationed in Meereen, and 500 of them are Unsullied, while the rest are new recruits.
The Unsullied Sparrow was left in Meereen to assist Daeron in maintaining law and order in the three cities.
After Ghis surrendered and the Harpy was severely damaged, as long as Daenerys does not have any problems in Westeros, there will be no major problems in Slaver's Bay.
Three days later, everything was ready, and nearly 100,000 troops and a thousand large ships set sail from Meereen in an orderly manner.
Knowing that Daenerys was about to leave Meereen for Westeros, the residents of Meereen spontaneously came to the city wall to see off their queen.
Daenerys not only liberated the slaves in Slaver's Bay, but also found a way for them to survive stably.
Now that they are about to leave the Slaver's Bay, they only hope that Daenerys can successfully seize the Iron Throne on her journey to Westeros, otherwise they may be forced to wear leather collars by slave owners again in the future.
...
Standing at the Wall, looking at the densely packed wildling army, Jon knew that as long as they launched another siege, it would be impossible for the Night's Watch to hold the wall with only the remaining men from the last siege.
Just when he was considering whether to leave the city for negotiations, he suddenly received a report from his subordinates that the wild men under the Great Wall were attacked.
When Jon suddenly heard the news, he thought that the army of White Walkers had reached the Wall. When he went out to take a look, he realized that it was not White Walkers, but several thousand human cavalry who had raided Mance's army.
Looking at the flaming red heart flag held by the cavalry from afar, Jon could not recognize which noble family's emblem it was.
However, the flags did not affect his observation of the battle situation. He found that although the number of cavalrymen was only 5,000 at most, they were all brave and good at fighting.
They charged into the unsuspecting barbarian army as if they were in an empty land. After charging back and forth several times, they completely dispersed the barbarians, and then cooperated with the infantry to encircle and kill the scattered barbarians.
Jon knew that although the wildlings claimed to have an army of 100,000, most of them were the elderly, the weak, women and children, and there were only more than 20,000 real warriors.
Moreover, the combat experience of these 20,000 people is limited to fighting wild beasts outside the Great Wall, or fighting against sporadic Night's Watch Rangers, which is completely incomparable to the real regular army.
