Chapter 956 The Sword Points to Meereen

Although Daenerys led the Unsullied Legion to capture Yunkai, the question of how to govern the city-state then became a problem.

The little queen flew to Astapor alone on a giant dragon, so she didn't have any wise men who could assist her in the government, only the Unsullied. However, although the Unsullied were good at fighting, But obviously there is no experience in governing city-states.

And after Daenerys ruled Yunkai, the first thing she did in this religious war was to clean up all the temples of evil gods in the city of Yunkai.

The reason why the Red God religion spread widely is closely related to the slave system. It can be said that wherever there are slaves, the Red God doctrine spreads. These monks in red robes are very good at inciting the emotions of the slaves.

And after Daenerys cleaned up these temples, the second order was to free all the slaves in Yunkaii City.

The city of Yunkai is famous for its arenas and brothels. Daenerys disbanded these fighters, and then incorporated them into her own army, expanding the strength of her army to better rule the city-state.

Daenerys became famous for freeing Yunkai's slaves, so she was given the title of "The Liberator" and "The Breaker of Shackles".

Although she was eager to continue marching towards Meereen, but unlike the original trajectory, this time she became more calm and decided to stabilize Yunkai's rule before leaving, otherwise as soon as she left on the front foot, the back foot Yunkai would recover. as is.

"What about the Yunkai nobles who were captured alive?"

Daenerys was lost in thought. She was trying to remember her husband's way of doing things. If Viserys faced this situation, what would he do?

…

Daenerys, the little queen of the empire, led her army on an expedition to the east, she captured Yunkai, and then stayed here for a short time.

Then the sword pointed to Meereen, the largest city-state in Slave Bay, and continued to cleanse the belief in the evil gods, including the harpy, and liberate all the slaves here.

Meereen is ruled by a group of slave owners known as the Great Lords. They have received the news of the fall of Yunkai a long time ago and are fully prepared for war.

They invited numerous mercenary groups, and even promised an unimaginable price to the Dothraki people in the north, going all out to face the challenge of the little queen.

Therefore, the dark cloud of the war shrouded the land of the Gugis Empire, the northernmost part of Slaver's Bay, the Skazadan River Basin.

This is the part of the war in Slaver's Bay, and throughout the entire Essos continent, the dragons from the west have burned into the raging war, and the entire Essos continent is full of gunpowder.

This is another major war that has broken out on the Essos continent since the long night fell. The area radiated by this war is almost as large as the bloodshed centuries ago.

It was in the turmoil and war of the bloody century that the powerful forces that used to be invincible fell, and the newly rising forces began to gradually take over the entire world.

But the battle of faith this time was different from the melee in the bloody century. This time, the war that radiated the entire continent was clearly divided into two factions.

One of them is a firm believer in the gods, willing to charge for his beliefs, driven by the will of the gods, in the name of jihad, and even against his own honor and morality, killing people naturally without blinking an eye.

The things that these honest and responsible people did not dare to do, but once they have the will of the gods as their endorsement, the demons in their hearts will be released.

On the other side, there is a godless faction dominated by the Valyrian Empire army. They either have never believed in gods like hounds, or they have believed in gods, but later turned their backs on them.

There are no gods in their hearts, and they believe that every ordinary person is worthy of faith and respect, believes in and loves this country deeply, and is only willing to obey the imperial orders of the emperor and the queen.

If His Majesty the Emperor asks them to kill, they will kill, strictly abide by the order, the order is prohibited, and the military discipline is strict.

However, since their slogan to overthrow the gods is bound to attract backlash.

More and more gods have begun to communicate oracles to their followers, angrily asking them to rise up and destroy these mortals who are arrogant and want to destroy the gods.

That's why these believers picked up their own farm tools, shovels, hoes, and carried a pot as a shield on their backs. They gathered together and became a powerful force that cannot be ignored.

Therefore, although the empire has destroyed many city-states, it has an absolute upper hand in a short period of time.

But once caught in the people's war in the vast ocean, this battle of beliefs is not destined to end in a short time.

This battle will inevitably last for a long time in the future, and it is difficult to tell the winner now.

While the war on Essos was raging, the Valyrian Empire was peaceful.

Under the rule of the empire and the cultivation of propaganda machines for many years, most of the commoners of the empire have subconsciously formed the impression that the imperial power is higher than the divine power, and even the archbishop of the Church of the Seven Gods is a Targaryen family.

Therefore, the empire was not affected too much by this religious war, and the order of production and life was still carried out in a stable and orderly manner.

Even the war on the distant continent of Essos did not attract more attention in King's Landing.

Because this contest for the selection of the Kingsguard has gone through a month or so, and it has finally come to an end.

Now there are only ten final knights left to compete for the final championship, and the knight who finally wins the championship will receive a huge reward and honor of 10,000 golden dragons.

Knight was originally a term in the Andals and the Church of the Seven Gods, but now during the reign of the Valyrian Empire, the knights have lost more religious colors, and the canonized knights also do not need to apply holy oil.

Because Viserys has separated imperial power from theocracy, and established the basic system that imperial power is higher than theocracy a long time ago.

Therefore, the term knight now more symbolizes a kind of title and is the most basic nobility.

The oath they swore was also to swear allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor and Empress, instead of being just, brave, protecting the weak, protecting women and so on.

Among the ten remaining knights at the end, many of them were knights who started to perform well in the first round of team competitions.

Among them are Deacon Tully, the younger brother of the Tully family patriarch Samwell, and Beric Dondarrion, Earl of Black Harbor, and his former squire, but has become a rising star.

He was the new generation of Sword Saint "Dawn Excalibur" Edric Dayne who amazed the audience in the first round of the competition and made the audience stand and applaud.

And the rest are 'Giant Prince' Artis, Brienne Tas, Robert's son Gendry, 'Little Wolf Girl' Arya Stark, and three other knights with outstanding strength.
