Chapter 158
Once the young Pit Fighter, Base Whore, and now Daenys, is one of the spies that Dany cast into Yunkai.
Because she killed the entire family of Astapor's Grazdan, she was sentenced to death after the release of the legal code.
But with the performance of Dany, things changed.
It shocked hundreds of thousands of Astapor people when the Queen was whipped to show legal code, by whipping herself to atone for those who held the death penalty.
Buying people's hearts was a secondary purpose, mainly it was to establish the sanctity of the legal code – even the Queen can't change the laws of the legal code at will.
Daenys was also among the slaves of the uprising whose hands were stained with the blood of innocents, but she was honest. When she knew that she was going to be beheaded, she neither resisted nor cried.
When Dany was whipped in front of her, the child cried.
The people of this world are simple, and Daenys too young, she became Dany's diehard.
Not only Daenys, but many of Dany's Guard armored cavalry were once members of death row.
After the exchange of fates by the Queen, most all of them had their loyalty set.
Dany originally planned to arrange for Daenys to be adopted by a kind family so that she may live a peaceful and everyday life.
As a result, the little girl said nothing and didn't want to leave, she said she wanted to be the Queen's right-hand just like Missandei.
Ser Barristan also persuaded that it would be a pity for a child of such prodigious ability to be swept to a manor as a farmer's wife, so she could be kept as a seed to blossom.
So in the beginning, Daenys was Dany's maid and bodyguard.
Later Dany began to form a spy network and arranged for spies to go to Meereen and Yunkai to inquire about the enemy's intelligence. The young bodyguard was listening at the time, but as she listened, she found that spies' work was more suitable for her.
In this way, Daenys was transferred from bodyguard to young intelligence commander.
She did a good job, infiltrating the Great Pyramid and becoming the kennel girl of the Grand Wise Master's house.
She helped the Grand Wise Master with the hounds.
"The Grand Wise Master has gone crazy," Daenys said.
"Crazy is crazy, but you, how did you get out, isn't it dangerous?" Dany is more concerned about the safety of her spy.
"I'm small, I can get in and out of most rooms through ventilation tunnels, and the ground floor also has floor-to-ceiling vents," Daenys says evenly.
"Looks like the Astapor vents should be changed to multi-duct mode too," Dany cautioned.
"It's not necessary, the pyramid of Your Majesty is only 100 meters high, which is a lot shorter than the 120 meters of Grand Wise Master, and the ventilation openings are also smaller. I tried it when I was a child, and it was uncomfortable." Daenys said with a wave.
Then she said solemnly: "That slave master is quite crazy. I'm worried that he will pull the entire pyramid and burn everything to the ground, and there are more than a thousand slaves in it!"
"Oh, what did he do?" Dany was interested.
"He burned his son, daughter, wife, and relatives to death."
"The sorrow of the last king, there is to be nothing to their legacy." Dany sighed.
"It's not any ordinary burning, but sacrifice. A Maegi summoned a Shadow Devil to devour Souls." Daenys said with a pale face.
"Shadow Devil?" Dany was stunned.
"An old witch with her breasts bare pierced with large hoops, and her cheeks inlaid with rubies, summoned the shadow of a Devil, as if crawling out of the deepest darkness, dancing with the witch's incantation under the fire….."
Daenys recalled the whole process with a look of fear on her face, and Jhiqui turned pale.
Not to mention the Dothraki maid, Dany also had a layer of cold sweat on the back of her neck.
What is more terrifying than listening to ghost stories in the middle of the night? Listening to real ghost stories in the middle of the night.
"That Maegi summoned the Devil to take away those people's Souls?" Jhiqui trembled.
Seeing her continuously shrinking into the blanket, Dany quickly comforted: "Don't be afraid, we have Dragons, then Maegi can't be as powerful as the Undying Ones."
"Big Black is watching. The cavalry in the wilderness, Little Green and Little White are looking for corpses on the dock to eat, and are not here." Jhiqui said.
"What? Those two bastards went to eat people again?" Dany's heart was full of anger, and she drove away her fear with wrath.
"Why didn't you tell me before?" she asked, staring at the maid.
"Khaleesi, what is eating a few charred corpses compared to disturbing your rest?" said the maid.
"Don't let them get used to it! The Green Dragon and White Dragon are different than the Black Dragon." A long whip woven of silk pushed open the tent and she prepared to go to the dock to teach the two disobedient boys.
"Your Majesty, what about Mureno?" Daenys grabbed her.
"Never mind him, let him die."
"He's sacrificing his family to hatch Dragons!" Daenys yelled.
"It is a lie. I deliberately put such a lie of sacrificing family members to hatch eggs."
Dany is not encouraging people to do such horrible atrocities, but if Dany said that as long as the family was happy and they gathered to pray to The Seven, a Dragon welp would hatch, who would believe such a stupid lie?
There is another point, the Dragon Hatching method that Dany described is itself a paradox: only by sacrificing the person you love can you hatch a Dragon, but when you take the initiative to sacrifice your family for Dragons, it means your family is not loved more than the offer of Dragons.
In other words, Dany is actually telling everyone: No one can take the initiative to hatch a Dragon, everything is arranged by fate, don't force it.
"The Grand Wise Master killed his whole family, I will only be happier, but with his madness, if the whole family dies and the Dragon eggs are not hatched, I am afraid that the next thing to be sacrificed is the pyramid slaves, that's why I came out to find you," Daenys said quickly.
"This…" Dany hesitated.
It has to be said that Daenys is very foresighted despite being so young.
How crazy is this?
"There are at least 1,000 Ghis guards in the pyramid. They can't attack in a short time, and the environment is bad at night. If we launch a storm, we will lose too much." She hesitated.
Who would pitch a tent on the square when they can live in a comfortable palace?
Yunkai is different from Meereen, Meereen is exceptionally empty, and the Great Masters never thought that Dany would come to attack Meereen, it was all but completely defenseless.
Yunkai hoarded a large number of soldiers, and the Wise Masters had long known that she will sneak attack the pyramid – the last Black Dragon sneak attack killed the three sons of the Grand Wise Master.
So every pyramid in Yunkai is stationed with a large number of yellow silk cloaks, and there are also many Scorpions.
Dany is waiting for Ser Chainbreaker to help her with this problem!
Cleon the Butcher is coming to Yunkai too.
"Then…I'll kill him," Daenys said decisively.
"Don't!" Dany quickly discouraged: "Your life is far more precious than a dying old man."
Kill the Grand Wise in front of so many people, how could her young assassin survive?
"No amount is more precious than a thousand slaves." Daenys gritted her teeth.
This child has been taught badly.
Dany looked at her with a blank face for a while, and asked, "Can you steal that egg?"
"The Sacrifice ceremony is on the third layer below the garden, and the stone egg's stone platform is just below the vent, and if no one's there, I can hook the egg away, but there's a lot of people there, in a big crowd…"
"Well, I'll let the soldiers launch a feint to see if they can lure people away. If everyone leaves, you can steal the egg. Without the Dragon egg, he will…"
Speaking of which, Dany suddenly caught a glimpse of the bronze Dragon egg that Jhiqui was holding in her arms.
"I remember you said in your last message that Qarth Pureborn have two Dragon eggs, and the Sorrowful Men and Euron have one Dragon egg each?"
"Hmmm, I heard with my own ears what the Grand Wise Master said to the other Wise Masters."
Dany's face changed a bit, half-sounding, devil Dany and Angel Dany arguing in her heart.
If the Dragon egg is replaced, the Grand Wise Master mistakenly thinks that he hatched a welp – Dany can remotely complete the last step of the Dragon Hatching process in the vicinity.
Then, the Qarth Pureborn who are afraid of going extinct. That fake the Sorrowful Men have and the real one the Faceless Men have, hiding one… Maybe it can kill the Braavos Sealord family.
—The backer behind the Faceless Men must be the government of Braavos, the ruler of Braavos known as the "Sealord".
But this kind of thing is too immoral, and it may hurt the not yet hatched Dragon…
"Ai, after stealing the Dragon egg, you immediately flee to the top garden, Don't go down, it's too far, too dangerous," she said finally.
Even if the Grand Wise Master draws attention, it won't be long, the opportunity is fleeting, and it's not long enough for Daenys to follow the same path for his life.
The place where the sacrificial ceremony is held is only three layers away from the top garden, and the closest escape is to the top floor.
"What about escaping to the top garden?" Daenys wondered.
"I'll let the Dragons pick you up."
The top garden has no arrows and no guards, because no one wants to repeat the mistakes of the three sons of the Grand Wise Master.
Watching Daenys step into the shadows, Dany sighed and under the protection of the Belwas she walked to the dock area with a whip.
But before they left the square, a sudden situation appeared on Big Black's side: the more than 5,000 cavalrymen trapped in the old camp were beginning to stir and seemed to be ready to break through?
"Did they notice the situation in Yunkai?" Dany wondered.
Of Dany's 50,000 men, 3,000 went to Meereen, Yunkai left 47,000, and turned 10,000 Pit Fighters in the afternoon.
With almost 60,000 troops besieging less than 6,000 cavalry, and three Dragons…
The original four-sided encirclement formation is almost unbreakable, not afraid at all of Grazdan breaking out.
But now…
About 40,000 people have entered Yunkai, and there are only less than 20,000 left, which seems a little weak.
She did not take Grazdan in a single move before, mainly for three reasons: first, it was too late when trapping them, which was not conducive to frontal combat; second, more than 5,000 Grazdan cavalry did not carry food and horse feed, the longer the delay, the better for Dany, and there may even be a large-scale defection of sellswords – she had arranged for Lyra to contact Windblown in the middle of the night.
Finally, Dany traveled with 50,000 troops lightly, and did not carry enough armor piercing arrows at all—iron arrows, ballistas, kerosene and other offensive weapons.
Like the incendiary bombs thrown by White Dragon and Green Dragon in the afternoon.
There is no stock in the camp, and two Dragons were airlifted from Meereen, 250 kilometers away.
It is also fortunate that they have fought again and again this month, killed countless enemies, and 50,000 slaves who were slaughtered by Yunkai… In the process of burning the bodies, Little White and Little Green also shared a lot of souls, the two Dragons grew wildly at an exponential rate, and the maximum load increased to around 200 pounds.
"Jhiqui, go and call the generals, let's settle everything together tonight." Dany's heart moved, and she came up with a gameplan.
